Monster Paradise

Lin Huang felt that he was being paranoid, so he didn't continue to ask about the room number, "Where's the next video?"

"The second video on the first floor was taken at the entrance of the bar." Chen Wei clicked on another video.

In the video, Lin Xin stood at the door of the bar and hesitated for a while, then went in, but walked out again after a short meeting.

"It seems that the bar owner is not lying. She came out within a minute after entering." A security guard who had just gone to the bar with Lin Huang said.

"Where did she go after leaving the bar?" Lin Huang immediately asked again.

"We photographed her walking around in the lobby on the first floor, buying some snacks, and shopping while eating. At about 40:[-], she suddenly walked into a blind spot under our surveillance, and then disappeared." After Chen Wei finished speaking, he clicked on the last video.

This last video was shot in a partition between two shops, and the camera could not see an area under the monitor.

In the video, when Lin Xin passed by the partition, she happened to have a garbage bag for snacks in her hand, and she walked towards the camera with the garbage bag.

But after disappearing from the blind spot of the camera, Lin Xin never appeared again.

Lin Huang has been staring at the video for several minutes, but still hasn't waited for Lin Xin to come out.

But when a few people passed by on the way, they came over with garbage and left empty-handed.

"This dead-end location is a place where trash cans are placed. We felt that no one would steal the trash, so we didn't install another monitor at another angle. This was also our mistake..." Chen Wei looked a little helpless explained.

"Wait, there is a little girl on the opposite side looking in this direction from time to time, did she see something?" Lin Huang pointed to the position in the video facing the surveillance camera diagonally, where a man with Lin was sitting on a bench. A little girl about Xin's age, with double ponytails, glanced in this direction from time to time while drinking a drink.

Lin Huang let the video continue to play, until the drink was finished more than ten minutes later, the girl walked over with an empty glass, then turned and left quickly.

"She probably just saw the trash can here, and thought about throwing the cup after drinking." Chen Wei felt that Lin Huang was a little too nervous.

"Take me to the shooting site of this video." Lin Huang continued, "Also, help me find the girl in the video. I have something to ask her. Whether she saw anything or not, I can't Let go of any clues."

"Okay, we'll help you find it. Anyway, there are no other clues now." Chen Wei agreed helplessly.

A few minutes later, Lin Huang was brought to the scene where Lin Xin finally disappeared by two security personnel.

He not only started the bloody hunt this time, but also raised his sense of smell to the extreme.He also turned on his extreme vision, and the pupils of his eyes turned a falcon-like amber color.

The previous air purification in the bar made Lin Xin's smell much lighter, but when he got here, Lin Huang still smelled her remaining breath.

In the dead corner below the monitor, two half-person-high green leather trash cans have been completely filled.

Lin Xin's breath suddenly disappeared next to the trash can. It wasn't the kind of air purification that Lin Huang felt in the bar that became weaker, and it was so thin that it couldn't be detected in the end, but disappeared directly.

Lin Huang frowned and looked around. His eyesight was stretched to the limit, but he couldn't find any clues.

Just as he was frowning and wondering if he had missed something, a fat woman suddenly came over with a bag of trash.

She seemed to be a nearby merchant, and when she saw the two full trash cans, she shouted at the two security personnel with some dissatisfaction, "Didn't you add a trash can here today, why are there now two trash cans?" ? You can see that the rubbish is piled up, can the passengers on the boat feel comfortable?"

"Eldest sister, we are just security guards, it is useless for you to ask us for this matter..." One person explained with a bitter face.

"Then tell me who should I go to?" The fat woman also had a violent temper and could not forgive others.

Lin Huang immediately turned around and asked, "Sister, when did you see there are three trash cans here?"

"About [-]:[-] p.m., I just finished eating takeaway and came to throw away the takeaway box. It disappeared after more than half an hour. It's strange. Could it be that someone stole the trash can?!" said the fat woman The time coincided with the time when Lin Xin disappeared.

"Sister, did you see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl passing by?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"I see so many little girls every day, how can I remember this kind of thing?" The fat woman rolled her eyes, threw the trash and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around, "You said little girl...I want to Get up, there is indeed a little girl with double ponytails sitting there drinking drinks in the afternoon."

The direction that the fat lady pointed was exactly the bench that Lin Huang and the others saw in the video where the little girl drinking drinks was sitting.

"Thank you, big sister." Knowing that he couldn't ask anything more, Lin Huang decided to ask the girl with twin tails if he saw anything.

Chapter 101 The Disappearing Trash Can

Lin Huang stroked his train of thought. Up until now, the only clue was a disappearing trash can.

"The third trash can should have disappeared with Lin Xin. If you find this trash can, you should be able to find Lin Xin."

Coming to this conclusion, Lin Huang asked the security personnel on the side to contact the security captain Chen Wei again.

"Mr. Lin, we just found out the room number of the girl with double ponytails, which is room 9 on the ninth floor. I have already informed the girl's father and asked them to wait in the room. We can go there now." As soon as Chen Wei's communication number was connected, he brought the news.

"Wait for a while about the girl, I have found another clue now. Just now, the aunt in a nearby shop said that there should be three trash cans in this place at around 40:[-] p.m., but when we came, only There are two left. The time when this trash can disappeared coincides with the time when my sister disappeared. So we should check who took this disappearing trash can. I suspect that the person who took the trash can, The one who took my sister away." Lin Huang provided new clues. "I'm going to your side now, and I want to check the surveillance video from about [-]:[-] to now."

"Okay, then come here, my two colleagues will stay at the scene first, and check around for other clues." Chen Wei nodded.

After hanging up the call, Lin Huang went straight to the spacecraft monitoring room.

In the monitoring room, Chen Wei had already tuned out the video of that period. After Lin Huang arrived in the monitoring room, he played the monitoring in full.

The video starts from the moment Lin Xin throws out the trash in the past, and shows Lin Huang and the three of them arriving at the scene.

After reading it, a group of people were full of doubts, even Lin Huang was no exception.

"No one pushed the trash can away?!" Lin Huang frowned, and the matter became more and more confusing after finding out here.

"Could it be that someone put the trash can into the storage ring?" A security guard suddenly asked.

"No, if Lin Xin disappeared with the trash can, she should have been put into the trash can and taken away. Except for beast taming tokens, any type of storage space cannot hold living creatures, but Animal taming tokens are invalid for humans." Lin Huang shook his head and rejected this idea. "Besides, no one is bored enough to steal a trash can full of trash without a specific purpose."

"What should we do now?" Chen Wei felt that the matter had reached a dead end, and looked at Lin Huang helplessly.

"Now there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the aunt we met before is lying. She is deliberately disturbing our sight, fabricating a trash can that does not exist in the first place, and wasting our time. There is another Possibly, there was a third trash can that was present, but the disappearance of this trash can somehow eluded the monitors."

"You ask the two colleagues at the scene to ask other merchants around to see if they have noticed the third trash can. Also, during the time my sister disappeared, several people passed by here Throw out the trash, you can contact them for me to see if anyone has seen the third trash can."

Lin Huang doesn't have a clue now. He even suspects that the fat aunt who throws garbage is lying, but according to common sense, merchants like them who have been operating on the spaceship for many years should not do things that are not good for tourists.

"What kind of business does that fat aunt who just threw out the trash do?" Lin Huang still asked suspiciously.

"Auntie Fat is an old merchant on our spaceship for 26 years. She sells tobacco and alcohol. She boarded the ship earlier than me. There can be no problem. She said that she saw an extra trash can, so she must There's an extra trash can." Chen Wei knew Fat Aunt very well. "She can't tell lies... But it's also possible that she may be mistaken for a moment."

"Ask other people first." Lin Huang nodded without saying anything more.

In the commercial area, the results of the two security guards' inquiries came out quickly. In addition to Fat Aunt, the owner of a shop also said that he saw three trash cans.

Chen Wei contacted several guests who appeared in the video one after another, a total of six people.Three people said that they did see three trash cans, two said they couldn't remember, and one said they only saw two trash cans.

The girl with the twin ponytails was also among the six, and she couldn't remember her answer.

"So according to the information provided by everyone, there is indeed a third trash can in the dead corner of the video." Lin Huang and the others came to this conclusion.

But they have no clue as to how the bins disappeared.

However, according to the information provided by several guests, the time when the trash can disappeared was brought forward.

Because the only guest who answered that he saw only two trash cans appeared in the video at 58:[-] pm.

The guest's answer was also very affirmative, his original words were, "Of course I remember that there are only two trash cans, and the trash is full, and the drink glass I finished drinking was finally stuffed in, don't I remember? ! You even asked me how many trash cans I have, would I be so bored as to steal your trash cans?!"

"It is now certain that the trash can disappeared between 42:58 and 42:23 in the afternoon. But our video has been from [-]:[-] when your sister disappeared to [-]:[-] when you arrived at the scene , I didn’t even see the trash can being pushed away.” Sitting in front of the console in the monitoring room, Chen Wei looked up at Lin Huang, who really didn’t know how to investigate this matter.

"This shows a possibility that the person who took my sister away used a method we don't know to take away the trash can and my sister." Lin Huang could only come to this conclusion in the end.

"The clue is broken..." Chen Wei shook his head and sighed.

"Let's go to the ninth floor to visit the girl with twin ponytails." Lin Huang still didn't intend to give up.

"Okay..." Chen Wei knew that Lin Huang would not give up unless he asked clearly, so he nodded in agreement.

After dialing the communication number of the girl's father again and confirming the time of visit, Chen Wei took Lin Huang and several other security members to the ninth floor of the spaceship.

The group rang the doorbell at the door of Room 9 on the ninth floor, and it was the girl with ponytails who opened the door.

"Dad, there are guests here." The girl turned and shouted at the man sitting on the sofa.

The man stood up and smiled at them, "Come in and sit down."

Only then did Lin Huang notice that this man was the man in the white shirt who had glanced at Lin Xin at the door of the floating elevator.Knowing that he has a daughter who is the same age as Lin Xin, Lin Huang's previous unhappiness finally dissipated.Because he knows that as a parent, it is normal for a parent to look twice more at a child who is the same age as his own child.

"Lily, go and pour tea for the guests." The man ordered.

"Okay, Dad." The girl with twin tails walked towards the kitchen.

"Sit down, if there is anything I can do to help, I will try my best to cooperate." The man had a warm smile on his face.

"Mr. Wei, you're welcome. We're here mainly to ask you about your daughter, sir. It won't take too long."

While Chen Wei was chatting with him, Lin Huang began to look at him carefully.

This Mr. Wei looks like he is in his early 40s. He is about 1.8 meters five, fair-skinned and well-dressed.He was still wearing a white shirt on his upper body, a pair of black trousers on his lower body, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a scholarly man.

"Forgive me for asking, what is Mr. Wei's occupation?" Lin Huang couldn't help asking.

"I used to be a teacher, and now I'm running a small business." Mr. Wei replied nodding at Lin Huang.

"Teacher is a good profession, why do you want to change careers?" Chen Wei felt a little envious.

"Teacher is a good profession, but the income is not very high." Mr. Wei smiled.

"That's right, people with wives and children are also under a lot of pressure." Chen Wei was quite touched. He was almost the same age as this Mr. Wei.

"Mr. Wei only brought his daughter with him on this trip? Didn't he bring his wife with him?" Lin Huang asked again.

"My wife passed away many years ago, and now I only have a daughter." Mr. Wei shook his head and gave such an answer.

"Sorry." Lin Huang didn't expect to get such an answer.

"It's okay, it happened many years ago." Mr. Wei waved his hand.

Lin Huang noticed that he had an emerald ring on his left ring finger, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, a girl with twin tails appeared with a tray of tea, "Dad, here comes the tea."

"Just serve it to the guests." Mr. Wei nodded.

The girl put the tray on the coffee table, then distributed several cups of tea to several people one by one, and then returned to the man.

"Sit down, Lily." Mr. Wei let the girl sit on his lap.

Lily sat down obediently and said nothing.

"Your daughter's tutor is really good. My daughter is about the same age as your daughter. It would be nice to let her come out to meet the guests, let alone make tea, and call her uncle and aunt to say hello." Chen Wei said helplessly.

"I'm a teacher, so I have my way of discipline. If you need it, you can send your daughter to me and let me teach her a few lessons." Mr. Wei said enthusiastically.

"That would be too troublesome." Chen Wei was a little embarrassed.

"No trouble, I have a lot of spare time now. I still have time to help her with her homework and teach her etiquette." After Mr. Wei finished speaking, he seemed to feel that the topic was a bit remote, and said quickly, "I almost forgot the business, you guys This time, if you have any questions, just ask Lily."

"Father..." Lily seemed a little shy, knowing that a group of people were looking for her, she shrank into Mr. Wei's arms.

"It's okay, if they have any questions, just answer them." Mr. Wei put his hand on Lily's shoulder.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. Uncle is not a bad person. We are from the spaceship security team to protect everyone's safety." Chen Wei also comforted him.

"It's okay, you can ask, she's just a little shy." Mr. Wei nodded at Chen Wei.

Only then did Chen Wei project Lin Xin's photo, "Little girl, have you seen this little girl?"

Lily shook her head expressionlessly.

Mr. Wei behind her hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "I met this girl at the door of the floating elevator. It was more than an hour ago. Did something happen?"

"This little girl is missing. We are now looking for your daughter, because she may have seen something." Chen Wei explained.

"Missing? Isn't there surveillance on the spaceship?" Mr. Wei raised his eyebrows.

"The monitoring on the spaceship has several blind spots, and that girl disappeared in the blind spots of the surveillance." Chen Wei mentioned this, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"That's it, then I hope you can find it as soon as possible." Mr. Wei didn't continue to ask this topic.

"Little girl, do you remember sitting on a bench drinking a drink at around 40:[-]?" Chen Wei asked Lily again.

Lily nodded.

"You should be sitting right where you can see the trash can?" Chen Wei asked again.

Lily nodded again.

"Then do you remember how many trash cans there are?"

Lily shook her head, "I don't remember, it seems to be two, it seems to be three..."

This answer made Lin Huang and the others frown. It is possible that this girl was indeed at the scene when the trash can disappeared. She saw three trash cans in front of her. After the third trash can disappeared, she only She saw two, so she herself couldn't be sure how many she saw.

After asking a few more questions, it was confirmed that Lily knew nothing about the whole matter, Lin Huang and the others reluctantly left Mr. Wei's room...

Chapter 102 Who is the real culprit? !

After leaving Mr. Wei's room, the group walked along the corridor towards the floating ladder.Stepping into the floating ladder, Chen Wei still couldn't help looking at Lin Huang.
