Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

Unexpectedly, after the two walked along the trail of the rabbit, they finally circled back to the back of the hotel.

"Are you back here again?"

Markesias stared at the familiar building that appeared in front of them, and couldn't help being taken aback. They have seen that wooden hotel so many times these days that when the two of them saw it at this moment, they couldn't help subconsciously feeling "it's it again".

In fact, the hotel was originally located at the corner of the resort, and walking out from the back door was in the direction of the woods. The two started from the main entrance of the resort this morning, walked along the route, went into the woods and then out of the woods, actually circled the entire resort.

"..."

Even Jian Shenxiu was a little surprised by this, and fell silent when he saw the shadow of the hotel from a distance. After carefully looking around at the hotel, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. But when he looked at the night sky next to him and the night market with lights on both sides, the chief inspector knew that it was too late to investigate other places tonight. So, after hesitating for a while, he decided to go straight forward.

"It seems that this inn is much more important to this strange story than we expected."

Seeing that Shenxiu said to Marchesias, he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and after thinking for a while, he made up his mind, then took Marchesias into the hotel from the back door, and went straight to a certain corner of the hotel. walk around.

"They hid too much from us, we need to have another good talk with the hotel owner."

Seeing Shenxiu walk into the hotel, he found his way without asking anyone, as if he had already mastered the layout of the entire hotel. Under the bright light, he took Marchesias along the corridor, all the way to the door of a certain room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The proprietress holding the rabbit opened the door, and when she saw the two people outside, her expression froze for a moment. She stood at the door, her hand holding the doorknob trembled suddenly, as if subconsciously trying to close the door. However, under Jian Shenxiu's cold gaze, the proprietress finally put down her hand stiffly, as if she had done some ideological struggle, she took a step back slowly, took a deep breath, and looked at the two of them. Slightly bowing and saluting, a smile appeared on his face again.

"It turned out to be Mr. God. It's so late, what can I do?"

"Search Bureau."

However, seeing that Shenxiu's expression was not shaken by the proprietress's smile, he was wearing plain clothes, but he raised his hand and took out his ID, and placed it in front of the proprietress, directly showing the silver steel seal on it.

"We are here on business. Regarding an abnormal case, there is a serious suspicion in this hotel now, and we need your cooperation in our investigation." See Shenxiu with a cold expression, staring at the proprietress in front of her and the rabbit in her arms, with With a cold scrutiny, there was even a hint of misguided annoyance.

"I hope you can answer our questions truthfully, and don't try to hide anything, otherwise..."

"You don't want to know what the Bureau is up to."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"This is the end of last night's investigation by the search bureau."

It was dark and the street lights were flickering. Minoru Hino and Taiichi Gentai, who were dressed in kimonos, also came to the junction where they saw Shenxiu pause this morning, looked at the resort behind them and the woods in front of them, and stopped their pace.

"The above records end here, and their investigation ended here abruptly last night."

"Um."

Gentaichi nodded upon hearing this, lowered his head and kicked the gravel under his feet. He is dressed in white and holds a sword, with a tall and straight figure, like a legendary warrior. Standing in this dark night, he has an invisible deterrent force, guarding Hino Minoru.

"It does seem like a broken circuit."

But even this warrior-like boy couldn't help frowning at this moment, and said such words. Because the concrete road behind them was just cut off here, and there were deep woods and muddy forest paths further on. Not far from them is the last street light on the road. During the day, standing on this kind of forest path, you can still see the shade among the branches and leaves clearly, but at night, you can only see a little path nearby with the help of the lights around you. There is deep darkness in the depths of the woods, like a monster that chooses to eat people, letting go of its prey during the day, and waiting for travelers who stray into it at night.

"If it is said that Jian Shenxiu and the others were rejected by the road at this position," Yuan Taiyi looked at the darkness, and subconsciously held the hand in his arms on the hilt of the sword.

"So the real road, in fact, still has to go forward?"

"Go forward?" Hino looked at the deep darkness in front of him, and he retreated a little bit, not because he was afraid, but because he was really distressed by the lack of preparation for a while.

"Hey, I was misled. Seeing that the document was full of records about street lights, I thought there were lights to guide the way all the time, so I didn't prepare a flashlight. I didn't expect this to happen. Now It's hard to deal with."

"No flashlight?"

Yuan Taiyi was also stunned when he heard the words, and looked at the boy next to him in surprise. Based on his understanding of the boy, he would always be prepared with complete equipment, but now he would make such a basic mistake as not bringing a flashlight.

"Did you not prepare tools when you came out to investigate?"

"Didn't we come out in casual clothes today?" Hino said with a bitter face, "I put all the equipment in the windbreaker. Because it was a vacation, I came out in casual clothes today. I accidentally forgot them .”

"Then... just go back like this?" Yuan Taiyi raised the corners of his eyes and asked tentatively. In fact, this situation was in line with his wishes - he was not so supportive of the young man's involvement in this weird case.

He had a vague feeling that there was something hidden behind this case. These days, he always has a creepy feeling of being spied on, as if he is shrouded in some conspiracy.

"Go back and get something, and then decide whether to come out or not depending on the situation?"

"It can only be this way……"

Hino nodded with a bitter face, he actually knew Gentaiichi's intentions in making such a proposal, but the fact is that there is no room for him to hesitate for a while.

"That... if it's a flashlight you need. I have a spare here."

However, at this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from the side, and a woman in a white windbreaker held a flashlight, walked out of the shadow next to them, and walked behind the two of them.

It was a girl wearing a thick windbreaker, she looked at Yuan Taichi when she was talking, and wrapped herself in her clothes when she acted, obviously remembering the last time they met today, she shivered slightly.

"Izumi Saori?"

The two also looked at her at the same time, Gentai's eyes froze slightly, and Hino Mino's eyes were also a little surprised. Both sides looked at the tablet in each other's hands at the same time. Even with the limited angle, they both recognized that the two hands seemed to be holding the same map.

However, just a general glance, it seems that the maps in the hands of the two are different.

"Well, Saori Izumi from the Ghost Story Investigation Agency." The cold girl nodded, and then added, "But it's not free, I want to exchange the maps in your hands."

She looked a little confused, and looked at the two with strange expressions.

"The copy in your hands seems to be more detailed than mine?"
