"The road collapsed?" Catherine was a little stunned.

"Yes, I don't know if it is a natural cause or the quality of the road is too poor."

"A section of the road was blocked, so we had to go back the same way."

"Now I'm going to the town hall to report the situation..."

Seeing Catherine in a daze, Sam whistled and said:

"It looks like you're very busy, so I won't disturb you for now. I'll meet you for a drink some other day!"

Sam drove away, and Catherine was shocked as if she had just woken up from a dream.

There is a problem with the signal base station.

The only road connecting with the outside world has collapsed.

Yorkford Town has completely become an isolated place.

Plus the disappearance of George's gang on the mountain.

The fluke mentality was completely gone, and Catherine rushed back to the police station.

do not care.

She is going to contact the outside world now.

The police station is equipped with a satellite phone. Even if the base station is broken, the satellite phone can still contact the outside world.

Back at the police station, she went straight into the equipment room, and Catherine found a certain cabinet.

But when the cabinet door opened, her eyes widened.

The satellite phone that was supposed to lie quietly in it disappeared.

The equipment room needs to be sorted every specific time.

Last time, less than a week ago, the satellite phone should still be there.

Who took it?

Inexplicably, Catherine thought of the old Suowei who returned to the police station after taking leave of absence because he was infected with the cold and couldn't go out.

Did the old Sower take it?

But why take this thing away... so that I can't contact the outside world.

Catherine took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

A pile of things can be described as a coincidence in normal times.

But if so many coincidences come together to happen, it cannot be called a coincidence.

Something must have happened that she didn't know about.

Old Sauvy...

She still decided to go to old Suo Wei, if it was really old Suo Wei who took the satellite phone, he must know something.

He drove to the old Suowei's house and rang the doorbell, but this time there was no response from the old Suowei.

Catherine came to the garage at the back, and the old car decades ago that was older than her was still parked in the garage.

After thinking about it, Catherine found a stone in the backyard and broke the window.Then he stretched his hand inside to open the window and flipped inside.

Arriving at the living room of Sauvy's house, Catherine carefully called the old Sauvy's name while observing the environment in the living room.

The air conditioner was still on, and the temperature was set to the lowest, making Catherine feel a little cold.

The living room was not clean, there were a lot of cotton-like things scattered on the floor.

Catherine squatted down and picked up a handful of white flocculents.

It is not a plant fiber like cotton, which is lighter and softer than cotton, which reminds Catherine of the silk spun out by spiders inexplicably.

And old Sauvy was not at home.

There was also an inexplicable strange smell in the room.

Chapter 140: Monster

After searching around to no avail, Catherine withdrew from the old Sauvy's house.

She didn't know why old Suowei's house was full of that kind of thing, and she didn't know where old Suowei went, why he went back to the police station halfway to get back the photo frame, and whether the satellite phone was taken by old Suowei.

"Still have to find a satellite phone..."

In this case, Catherine has never forgotten the only item that can communicate with the outside world in this case.

However, satellite phones are expensive.If it weren't for people with such needs, they would hardly buy it. After all, the residents of the small town can't be said to be rich.

The police station has one issued by the town.There must have been one of George's guys who liked to play in the mountains.There is also the mayor, probably in the town hall.

And the town hall is very close, maybe it's time to talk to the mayor.

Thinking of this, Catherine was about to leave Old Sauvy's place first, but when she walked towards the front yard, she looked up and saw a person standing beside her police car.

Link, the second son of the mayor's family.

There are more clothes wrapped around Link's body, which makes the whole person look swollen.

He looked at the police car in front of Sauvage's gate, and then at the Sauvage mansion.

By this time Catherine had crouched down, hiding behind a bush.

This was completely subconscious behavior, perhaps because the things she encountered today were too weird, which increased her vigilance countless times.

The next moment, Link walked towards the Sauvage House, took out the key and walked in.

Catherine stood up again.

Link has the key to the old Sauvy's house?

Does the behavior of old Suowei have anything to do with the mayor?

The idea of ​​going to the mayor was immediately rejected by Catherine.

Since Link entered the living room, it was likely that he would find the windows that had been smashed and opened, so Catherine left Sauvy's house quickly.

After starting the car engine, Catherine did not return to the police station this time, but returned to her home.

After picking up a handful of water in the bathroom and slapping it on her face, Catherine looked up at herself in the mirror.

Old Sauvy had problems.

There may also be problems with the mayor.

There was a problem with the base station, and the collapse of the road out was not a coincidence, but man-made?

But if that's the case, what exactly happened?

Could it be that I am too neurotic?

Obviously don't know anything, just make random guesses like this.

Catherine patted her cheek vigorously, walked out of the bathroom, and walked out of the house. She was going to go to the police station again.

But when she came to the yard, she suddenly remembered something.

I went to visit the new neighbor next door yesterday, and according to what I know, the other party seems to be in very good financial conditions.

Then the climbing equipment worn by the other party last night shows that the other party seems to like outdoor exploration sports.

Also, as a wandering writer, if the economy is not considered tight, it can only be explained by liking outdoor sports.

Perhaps this new neighbor will have a satellite phone?

Thinking of this, Catherine didn't go to the car, but went to the house next door.

Ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door, Catherine waited quietly outside the door, but no one responded.

are you out?

Catherine frowned, this was the second rejection she received today.

Catherine was about to leave when she smelled something.

Familiar smell.

She had also smelled it when she was at Sauvy's house.

Catherine stopped walking and her face became serious.

She was sure there was nothing wrong with her sense of smell.

coincide....

Go tm coincidence.

Catherine turned around and came to the backyard. She still found a stone and was going to do the same thing that she had done half an hour ago.

Although it was immoral for the police to break into the house illegally, Catherine couldn't care less.

Breaking the window glass, Catherine climbed into the house that originally belonged to the Vic family.

She was very familiar with this house. Before the old Vic's family moved out, she often came up as a guest. Although Mr. Wang said that he would settle down again, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​renovating and modifying the interior of the house.

Catherine looked around for a week, and it was the same as when she visited yesterday morning, except that the laptop on the table had been closed.

The smell permeated the room, but it was fruitless to find the source of the smell.

Catherine wandered around the house without finding anything.

The white flocculent things in the old Suo Wei's house did not appear here either.

Everything is normal.

Now it's a little troublesome.

How should I explain to my new neighbor when he comes back?

Catherine rubbed her eyebrows, and was about to go back the same way and leave the house that belonged to her.

But in the aisle, she seemed to hear some kind of voice.

It was an extremely subtle sound that seemed to be blocked.

Catherine looked somewhere.
