Split personality

Not only was Chu Han not angry at Su Mo's complaints, but he was very helpful.

He licked the corner of his mouth proudly, and made a very 'humane' gesture to wipe Su Mo's neck before disappearing.

"Brother Su, who were you talking to just now? Did you find anything new?"

Putting down the vanity mirror, Su Mo walked towards a certain position and said, "That's right, it's here."

The wooden floor under his feet was where the female ghost disappeared. Su Mo leaned down and buckled hard, and the floor was buckled open.

"Eh? There's a secret grid!"

With the new discovery, even Mark, who was not socially compatible, looked happy, and quickly surrounded him.

The secret compartment is very small, and there is only a worn-out dressing box inside.

"Cosmetic box, vanity mirror, this boy is very delicate!" Xiao Ya complained, while taking the cosmetic box, she wondered: "There are English letters on it? No, it's not English..."

"Πανδρα!"

The voice came from behind, and everyone looked at Lu Lanlan at the same time.

Lu Lanlan, who had a pale face, kept backing away until she reached the corner before she shouted in shock: "Don't, don't open it!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ya didn't dare to open it rashly, so she could only ask: "Don't panic, what do you mean?"

"Pandora."

There was no ups and downs in the calm voice, and everyone's eyes shifted to Su Mo.

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Su Mo showed a strange smile, "This is Pandora's box."

"Pan, Pandora's Box?"

Shivering, Xiao Ya suddenly felt that the dressing box in her hand was extremely hot, and she wished she could throw it away quickly.

Not only Xiao Ya, but anyone who knows what the 'Pandora's Box' stands for has no better expression than Lu Lanlan at the moment, except...

"The key is in the hands of Pandora!"

When everyone was startled by the 'Pandora's Box', Chai Gang suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Great! There must be a pass key inside!"

Three black lines flashed across his forehead, and even Mark, who was beaten by Chai Gang, couldn't stand it anymore, and said with contempt: "It's terrible to be uneducated."

"Banana man, what are you talking about?"

Grabbing Mark by the collar, Chai Gang made a gesture to hit him.

"That's enough, just stop making trouble!"

Having no time to talk to the two of them, Xiao Ya subconsciously looked at Su Mo, who was the calmest among the crowd, "The letter above is Pandora's name? Then, then..."

Everyone except Chai Gang knew what 'Pandora's Box' represented.

Just because I knew it, I didn't dare to open it rashly.

"Well...cough cough, who can explain, who is Pandora?" Although he is 'uneducated', Chai Gang is not stupid, and he still can't realize that he has made an embarrassment.

It's a pity that Xiao Ya and Dai Xingzhang, who had solemn faces, were not in the mood to talk to him.

Chai Gang, the self-proclaimed boss, suddenly felt that he couldn't hold back his face and wanted to get angry.However, he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had to drag Mark, who was full of resistance, to the corner.

"If it's really Pandora's Box, then don't open it!" Dai Xingzhang said in a panic while pressing the box tightly.

As we all know, Pandora's box is filled with the wrath of Zeus, the main god. As long as it is opened, disaster will befall the world."Pandora" is written on the dressing box. In the world of suspected supernatural beings, anyone who reads it will be shocked.

However, what many people don't know is that the magic box contains other things besides disasters, such as: the hope of the goddess of wisdom.

"Athena sealed the seed of hope at the bottom of the box, and the panicked Pandora didn't find out." Su Mo remained calm, looking very unbeatable.

Xiao Ya glared at him fiercely, and said helplessly, "I also know this story, but...do I really want to open it?"

"Any other options?" Su Mo asked back.

In the end, everyone decided to open the box;

At this time, Chai Gang, who had been "crammed" by Mark, also came back, with an ugly face.That said, he's not opposed to opening the box either.

Dai Xingzhang had no choice but to let go of his hand, and then dodged far away.

After everyone hid away, Mark, who lost in the boxing game, opened the box with a nervous expression...

No catastrophe befalls, nothing happens;

There are only two items in the small box: a pink diary and a photo.

There is an eight-digit password lock on the pink diary. After Xiao Ya tried to use 19740516 and 19740517 respectively but failed, she had to give up temporarily and focus on the photos.

"A couple, a pair of children, what a happy family!" Dai Xingzhang exclaimed.

Yes, the photo is a family portrait;

In the photo, the father is wearing sunglasses and sitting on a bench with his wife in his arms; the daughter is holding a doll and huddled in his father's arms; the youngest son is digging with a plastic shovel and a lollipop in his mouth.

Looking left and right, you can't see any tricks. When Xiao Ya was about to put away the photos and diary, Su Mo said abruptly: "Female ghost."

"Female ghost? What female ghost?"

Chai Gang pointed to his head, "Brother, you won't be scared silly, right?"

Su Mo ignored him, but shifted his gaze to Lu Lanlan in the corner, "Show her the photo."

I don't know how to accept fate or how, Lu Lanlan finally calmed down.

After Xiao Ya handed the photo to her, she was unsure: "Yes, is it this little girl? I was terrified at the time, and didn't dare to look at it carefully. But I remember that the female ghost was dressed in red, and she was a few years older... "

"It's just a photo, what can it represent?"

Dai Xingzhang urged: "Let's go quickly! Until now, we don't know what the mission is!"

Instructing Xiao Ya to keep the diary and photos safe, everyone opened the door and left the small second floor without further delay.

Stepping on the creaking stairs, everyone came to the lobby on the first floor.

"Finally willing to come down?"

A strange voice came from the corner of the living room, following the sound, there was a woman sitting behind the light and shadow.

Soon, everyone realized that they were wrong, because the woman slowly slid out of the dark place with a wheelchair.

Xiao Ya rolled her eyes and asked first, "Are you..."

"Several police officers, have you found anything after staying in my son's room for so long?" The woman's voice was full of fatigue, and her face was also very pale.

"what?"

With a sound of surprise, Chai Gang quickly covered his mouth.

The woman in the wheelchair is none other than the mature and beautiful mother in the photo—except that she is much thinner now.

From the address of the woman, everyone knew the role they were playing at the moment.

However, although he knew his identity, he still didn't know anything about the specific case to investigate.

After quickly scanning the overall layout of the room, Su Mo asked first: "I did find something, but..."

"But what?"

The woman was dissatisfied: "The blackmail calls have been made, is there any other secret?"

[Trigger the main task: save Tan Le. 】

[Dear Mr. Su, you are a criminal police investigator from the Public Security Department of X, City M.In the early hours of this morning, the Ministry of Public Security received a report from Ms. Tan Qing in District X, claiming that her 10-year-old child, Tan Le, was kidnapped and extorted RMB 10; you and your colleagues discovered other secrets during the investigation, please find out While trying to find the truth, save Tan Le. 】

save?

This word is used very well, Su Mo is thoughtful.

Obviously, everyone has received the mission prompt;

Xiao Ya preemptively said, "Don't worry, we will definitely rescue Tan Leping safely! Ms. Tan Qing, do you know who kidnapped Tan Le? And where is the contact information and trading place?"

Tan Qing regained his indifference, and handed the map to Xiao Ya, and then said impatiently: "I don't know who kidnapped Lele, the location and contact information are marked on the map. I'm just a cripple, how can I get 10 Ten thousand yuan? I'm tired, and I'll leave it to you..."

After saying that, Tan Qing shook the wheelchair and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing this, Lu Lanlan muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it too indifferent? If I'm kidnapped, Dad..."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew up and lifted the blanket covering Tan Qing's legs.

"Ah... uh!"

As soon as Lu Lanlan screamed, she was covered by Xiao Ya in time.

Even so, Xiao Ya's complexion was not good-looking.

After Dai Xingzhang winked at everyone, the six of them hurried towards the door without even bothering to open the map...

It wasn't until they left the small courtyard and came to the street that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You read that right? That old woman's legs..."

Mark swallowed, took Chai Gang's words and said, "It turned out to be a bone!"

Yes, the moment the breeze blows, everyone can see clearly.The woman is not simply disabled, her legs turned out to be bones!

This is a 'dream paradise', no one cares that it is unscientific, and no one thinks that the woman is playing a prank.

"It's not right, it's not right!"

Xiao Ya's expression became more and more ugly, "Could it be that it's a supernatural script? Isn't our task..."

"Everyone, don't panic, get in the car first!" Dai Xingzhang, who was slightly older and more prudent, said hastily.

After Dai Xingzhang finished speaking, everyone found a Jinbei van parked in a corner not far away.

"I'll drive!"

Chai Gang couldn't help but walk towards the driver's seat carelessly.

Looking at the side sliding door of the back seat of the Jinbei van, Su Mo's mind moved slightly, and he took the first step to sit in the co-pilot.

The co-pilot was occupied, Dai Xingzhang's eyes flashed a little bit of resignation, and then he signaled the two ladies to sit in the back with a smile on his face, while he and Mark sat next to the two side pullers in the front row.

After getting in the car, Chai Gang asked Xiao Ya for a map, but Lu Lanlan said anxiously: "Do you really want to go now? Do you want to wait until dawn?"

This proposal was approved by Mark with both hands, and even Xiao Ya, who handed Chai Gang the map, hesitated for a moment.

"Little sister, you are too young!"

He took out a cigarette from nowhere, and while lighting it, Chai Gang said coquettishly: "In script missions, every second is precious! Since the system chooses night, it has its own reasons. If we really drag it to the second God, there is no guarantee that something unpredictable will happen!"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: This yellow-haired ruffian is not as brainless as he imagined.

But that's right, how can someone who can live through two scripts be an idiot?

The map given by the woman did have the contact information of the 'kidnapper', but in this day and age there are no mobile phones, and these fakes dare not go back to the police station, so they had to take the risk and go directly to the destination.

On the map, the bright red circle clearly shows that the trading place designated by the kidnappers is in the wilderness.

"It's not too late, let's go now!"

Chai Gang has a good memory, and after reading it twice, he threw the map to Su Mo, started the van and headed straight to the suburbs...

Chai Gang drove, and the rest of the people were not idle.

Xiao Ya and Lu Lanlan tried to decipher the password on the diary, while the three of Su Mo guessed the real purpose of this mission based on limited resources.

"If it's really a supernatural event, the task may not be as simple as rescuing the hostages." Dai Xingzhang was mature and prudent, and said first, "No, there is only one woman, Tan Qing, in the house, and his husband and daughter are not there!"

Tan Qing is the mother in the family portrait, but after such a big incident, the man in sunglasses and the girl in his arms did not appear, which is obviously abnormal.

"And, her child's surname is Tan." Su Mo said.

Mark immediately questioned, "Although I have returned to country Z not long ago, I also know that country Z is very liberal in terms of surnames. It seems normal for children to have their mother's surname? Well, our country M can't compare to this."

Although there is a saying in country Z that "marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and marry a dog, follow the dog", even in the feudal period, women who married into their husband's family did not need to change their names.Especially now, as long as the husband and wife discuss it well, it is not a problem for the child to follow the parent's surname.This is indeed better than most countries, especially country M, which shouts "democracy and freedom" every day.

"Don't forget, this is the 70s."

The elderly Dai Xingzhang explained: "The sex of the 70s was still very conservative, not to mention that Tan Le was still a boy."

Su Mo nodded, he thought so too, and he didn't think the man in the sunglasses was the one who stepped in.

As a result, there is only the last option.

"Remarry or divorce."

Chai Gang, who was in charge of driving, suddenly interjected, "Same as my family..."

Su Mo glanced at Chai Gang, and continued: "The possibility of divorce is not very high in this day and age. Nine times out of ten, the husband died and then remarried, and... there are three doubts."

Dai Xingzhang asked: "Which three points?"

Su Mo didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "First, there is a problem with the layout of the room. There is no daughter's room on the first and second floors; second, her own son was kidnapped, and Tan Qing is...too indifferent; third, the timeline is inconsistent. That's right!"

"Yes, I found out too!"

Since the beginning of the mission, Lu Lanlan, who had been feeling restless, suddenly interjected: "If I am kidnapped, my father must be in a panic, and he will save me if he loses everything! That woman is obviously very rich, but she can't even bear 10 yuan!"

More importantly, although Tan Qing tried her best to express her anxiety, the indifference and emptiness in her eyes still couldn't deceive anyone.

As for the third point, just as Su Mo was about to explain, he caught a blush from the corner of his eye...

"Depend on!"

"careful!"

"don't want!!"

The screaming and cursing came from the two girls in the back seat and Chai Gang respectively.In an instant, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they looked at the woman in red who suddenly appeared in front of them with great horror...

The Jinbei car was driving on an uninhabited asphalt road, and its speed had reached 90 mph.After all, in the middle of the night, who would have thought that a big living person would suddenly appear on the road in the wilderness?

At this moment, I saw the high-speed Jinbei car rushing straight towards the woman in red in the middle of the road. The bright searchlights showed the panic on the woman's face very clearly...

At the critical moment, Chai Gang's eyes widened in the driver's seat. He subconsciously slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel!

However, before the steering wheel had time to move, a powerful hand stretched out from the co-pilot, and tightly clamped Chai Gang's right arm!

At the same time, Chai Gang was kicked away when he was about to step on the brakes!

Not only that, the foot that kicked Chai Gang did not retreat, but stepped on the accelerator!The speed of the car that had dropped suddenly soared instantly, and the Jinbei van slammed into the woman in red!

Under the searchlight, the woman in red's eyes widened in disbelief, and she let out a terrified scream!

"what!!"

"boom!"

The screams stopped abruptly, and the woman flew high like a kite with a broken string.

Bang... When...

The van bumped and drove away with the woman's body...
