The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Li Daoyi: "The focus of the two cases was obviously on the Daolin paper, which had a strong spiritual pollution attached to it, but three days after it was brought back to the institution, the mental pollution disappeared completely, which shows that the problem is not the Daolin paper, the paper is just a medium. "

"The hotel fire in the second case is related to Daolin Zhi, the younger sister of a family of five. Do you all think the younger sister is the mastermind?" Wu Yujie asked.

"The investigators asked the hotel staff who worked that day. The man in the family's mother's photo lived in the room where Daolin Zhi was found. The youngest daughter had dressed up carefully. It was obvious that she was there on the day of the fire, but they searched the entire room. Her body was not found on the eighth floor, and the youngest daughter disappeared."

Li Daoyi continued: "Back to the first case itself, there are actually two cases here, the first case is about real patients, doctors and nurses, and the second case is about a superhuman whose identity has been reversed.

The former can currently confirm that there are incidents of doctors and nurses abusing patients, and patients retaliate, which is the cause and effect of the incident.

But how do patients fight back?How to fight back in an organized and disciplined manner?

This is something to be aware of.

Secondly, the Daolin paper found beside the superhumans wrote about their identities and the contradictions between their identities. The same thing happened in reality and developed the final result of casualties.

More importantly, the investigation results that were not recorded in the files showed that there were actually many contradictions between the three superhumans from the time of enrollment to the employment. As a 'patient', C has been bullying B, and as a result, B's relationship on paper has become a doctor. Finally died tragically. "

Jiang Bai Pingcuo: "It sounds like things written on Daolin paper will become real. Does Daolin paper have the ability to confuse people's hearts?"

Boss Long: "After the things written on the paper are realized, will the spiritual pollution attached to the paper dissipate?"

Wu Yujie: "How much paper is there?"

Ding Yiqing: "Li Daoyi investigated unsolved unsolved cases in the Nordic area in recent years, and I entered the database to find unresolved cases, and finally found four cases after screening and comparison.

They are the ghost mirror murder case, the advertising company arson case, the Xintuan concert suicide case and the amusement park clown murder case, among which the ghost mirror and the amusement park clown are included in the database. "

Cen Jin looked through the emails he sent to everyone beside Ding Yiqing, which clearly sorted out the cause, process and result of each case, and the basic factors such as the location of the characters were recorded in detail.

The first ghost mirror murder happened on a Finnish farm. On a certain night in midsummer last year, seven members of the farm family died in the bedroom, the farm and the cowshed. Horrible things, and there is a broken mirror beside them.

The head office suspected that it was a strange operation, and sent investigators to record it. No mental pollution or weird symptoms were found. Everything was normal. The investigation lasted for nearly two months and found nothing. When it was about to be judged as ordinary murder, the investigators caught the man who sneaked into the farm. Mistress brother.

After torture, it was discovered that the younger brother of the hostess was the only witness who appeared on the night when the seven members of the family suffered an accident on the farm.

After the hostess' brother was ruled out as the murderer, he insisted that the victim was killed by a ghost in the mirror.

There is an ancient local legend that before the arrival of the annual harvest season, it is necessary to sacrifice to the goddess of harvest. The sacrifices to the gods in ancient times were mostly bloody and cruel, requiring the same value as the sacrifices. Food is usually linked to slave sacrifices.

Although the blood sacrifice of living people has long been abolished, in the era of war and chaos, people always think of the dark and bloody Harvest Goddess, and the victim's farm suffered catastrophe for several years in a row, couldn't make ends meet, owed a large amount of foreign debt, but suddenly had a bumper harvest in a certain year.

Not only have all foreign debts been paid off, but also deposits have been made, farms have been repaired, and even cattle farms have been built.

The younger brother of the hostess was sure that his sister would be killed if she did not perform the human sacrifice she promised to the Harvest Goddess, because the Harvest Goddess likes to play with people's hearts and only accepts blood sacrifices from the believers' closest relatives.

The investigators did not accept the statement of the hostess’ younger brother at first, until they found the cellar of the farm under the leadership of the younger brother, and saw strange symbols all over the walls and all over the floor. A large number of animal corpses, human corpses.

It is conceivable that the hostess tried to use strangers as a substitute for blood sacrifice, but unfortunately the goddess of harvest did not accept it.

Taking advantage of the investigator's inattention, the hostess' younger brother walked up to the bronze mirror by accident, picked up a piece of paper pressed on the table to read, and made a ghostly voice like crying and laughing for a long time, attracting the investigator's attention.

When the investigator approached cautiously, he found that the younger brother had burned the paper in his hand. Extreme fear covered his face, and he said with tears and laughter, "I... I am also Sophia's relative."

After speaking, his jaw was torn and he died.

The investigators only had time to retrieve the half-burned piece of paper, which was blank and unremarkable. Combined with what the younger brother said, they guessed that the hostess might have been forced to do nothing.

In the end, he decided to sacrifice his younger brother, so the younger brother would go to the farm the night he was killed, but it was too late.

They brought the bronze mirror back to the institution, but only detected strong spiritual pollution, and found nothing unusual or strange. Afterwards, they recorded the local legend about the goddess of harvest.

In the mythology of different countries, there is a harvest goddess who appears in a positive image, but the harvest goddess who appeared in this case is the evil goddess in the mirror. It is generally believed in Europe and the United States that the mirror leads to another world that is completely opposite to the present world.

In that world, everything is contrary to the reality. The harvest goddess in the real legend is kind and just, but the harvest goddess in the mirror takes pleasure in taking human life.

The investigators who chose to take the road on the way back found that someone was dealing with a tree that had been struck down by lightning on the road, blocking the way, so they had to find a nearby fast food restaurant to rest.

I heard from the owner of the fast food restaurant that the night when the big tree was struck down by lightning was the day the farm was victimized. The younger brother of the hostess was involved in a car accident, and the tires and windows of the car were punctured by the branches of the big tree. Said that the trip was delayed because of this.

Since then, the case has come to an end, all relatives related to Sophia have died, and the sacrifice is over. I have tried to use formations and blood sacrifices to induce strangeness again but to no avail.

The case was sealed.

The fourth case is the murder of a clown in an amusement park. To be honest, these elements are considered indispensable themes in horror movies and horror novels, and they are enduring.

The thing is very simple. The clown who has worked in the amusement park for 20 years loves the amusement park very much. He saved enough money to buy the amusement park and continue to operate it. However, the owner of the amusement park sold the land to a real estate tycoon and will soon demolish the amusement park.

The clown couldn't accept it, and opened the amusement park for free on the last day of the park's closure, inviting the director and real estate agents to participate in the final fireworks party, but killed them one by one, and finally sat at the entrance of the amusement park, cut his throat, and committed suicide.

What's weird is how can an old clown single-handedly kill hundreds of people, including able-bodied adults?

The investigators went to the clown's former residence to investigate, and found a darkroom in his basement, which was filled with exposed photos, all related to the amusement park, recording his sincere love for the amusement park.

In addition, the clown did not leave any useful clues, diaries, videos... nothing at all, the process of changing his mentality, and the reason why he became powerful.

It wasn't until they took the photos taken by the clown out of the darkroom and exposed them to ultraviolet rays that they discovered that there was special fluorescent ink on the back of the photos to write the clown's mental journey.

After going through thousands of photos, I finally found a few with weird words.

The first photo was taken of the mirror maze in the amusement park, with the words on the back: He asked me if I am willing?I can not be reconciled.I asked him if he needed help?I need to.He said, write them down, kill them.

The second photo was taken of an amusement park that was pushed away by a bulldozer. The lines on the back read in confusion: Don't force me, don't force me, don't force me...

It can be seen how fierce the flame called anger is in the clown's heart at this time.

The third photo is standing on the highest point of the Ferris wheel to shoot the entire amusement park. From a bird's-eye view, it says the clown's inflated ambition: All stay with me.

The case was also fruitless and was sealed in the unresolved file for many years.

In the second case, the arson of the advertising company was considered a social criminal case. When an old employee was about to retire, he was deliberately made things difficult by his mean boss, forcing him to take the blame and resign, and lost hundreds of thousands of pensions.

In the home of an old employee, an old wife who was paralyzed in bed accidentally broke her head, delayed the time of hospitalization, and died without pension for surgery.

The lonely old employee came to the company with a homemade bomb, installed the homemade bomb inside several closed air-conditioning outlets, but gave the mean boss and the joint boss the opportunity to set up his colleagues to harm him, and asked them if they regretted it. Can't apologize.

Naturally, he was ridiculed and detonated the bomb in anger, killing 13 people.

But there was a new girl who showed kindness to the old employee and went to the hospital to visit the old employee's wife, so she was deliberately sent out by the old employee and escaped.

The antecedents and consequences of this incident are very clear, the murderer is dead, and there is nothing strange about it. It should not be an unsolved case, but a bold and careful policeman discovered that the camera installed by the old employee at home showed that someone had instigated him to commit a serious murder case.

The video camera in the old employee’s home was originally used to take care of the paralyzed old wife. By accident, strangers were filmed entering and leaving the old employee’s home, repeatedly using words to provoke the old employee and instigating the old employee to retaliate against his boss and colleagues.

What's even more frightening is that when the old wife broke her head, the reflection of the mirror revealed that the stranger was there.

The other party watched the paralyzed old wife struggling in pain, stood idly by, and refused to give the slightest help indifferently.

The old wife died, and the other party appeared again, luring the grief-stricken old employee to write down his wish for revenge.

During the whole process, the camera did not capture the facial features of the mastermind, and the other party deliberately avoided the camera. The local police dispatched the most powerful crime experts to analyze the mastermind’s psychological, physical, physical and facial characteristics, but the criminal was never found.

In the end, the case was shelved and became an unsolved case.

In the third case, under the watchful eyes of the public, dozens of cameras were working at the same time. The newly promoted girl idol group held a concert, and an accident happened when a song reached its climax, and the singing and dancing had to be temporarily suspended.

Fans were furious and scolded the team's least-known and least-reputed members for dragging their feet. At first, it was just a whisper, and finally converged into a unanimous voice, and even developed into extreme fans rushing to the stage to beat the dragging members.

Overwhelming hatred and hostility, like tens of thousands of members with swords lingering behind, while her teammates stood in the dark together, giving her the bright stage for the first time.

Tens of thousands of people clamored for her to go away, and viciously cursed her to die quickly, and then she committed suicide in front of everyone.

The sound wave stopped for an instant, and the murderers were like ducks choked by their throats. They stared at the bloody scene on the stage dumbfounded.

A few minutes later, the crowd rioted and retreated from the scene one after another. The most tragic stampede in history occurred, with nearly a thousand casualties.

However, this part of the deceased was the most vicious person who scolded the suicide during his lifetime, and several others blocked the suicide at the door of her house to harass, slander and beat her.

Of course, the suicide's teammates were almost dead, only one girl who did not participate in the bullying and tried to stop her teammates from bullying the suicide was let go.

The results of the post-event investigation defined the case as a major casualty accident in a public place caused by an irrational and unorganized riot under major stimulation.

"However, Lao Li found the video camera at that time and restored some video clips that were deleted for unknown reasons. He found that within 3 minutes before the victim committed suicide, he raised his head nearly [-] times, focusing on a certain direction in the venue.

I calculated that this direction should be an inconspicuous fan seat in the middle of the upper left of the venue, and then found the video of the venue, and finally found that the audience at this position was the only fan of the victim.

Fans held up a white cloth support flag with wish you all wishes come true and the names of the victims written on it, blocking the faces of fans. "

"Nothing else?"

"After the victim committed suicide, the fan still held up the support flag, and the font changed to 'Encore'. After the chaos and the stampede, the fans still held up the 'Encore' support flag. The running audience didn't seem to see him, or intentionally avoided him."

"Male or female?"

"Looking at the figure, it should be male."

"Is there a video?"

Ding Yiqing clicked on the video for Cen Jin to watch, and by the way sent it to the online chat page for others to watch.

After watching the video, Cen Jin said: "The atmosphere is very strange. The 'encore' on the support flag was raised after the victim committed suicide. It seems that I like her suicide performance. I am very satisfied with the chaotic scene caused by the victim's suicide."

Ding Yiqing: "That's the feeling."

"Before the farm extermination case, there were no hospitals and hotels, so I didn't pay special attention to the paper burned by Sophia's brother. It is generally believed that it was the bronze mirror.

If it was really the bronze mirror, there would be no reason for the same sacrificial ceremony of the extraordinary to fail, so I have reason to suspect that the main culprit of the farm extermination case was not the weirdness in the mirror, but the piece of paper.

It seems that paper is not mentioned in the Clown Killer case, but photo paper is also a kind of paper. The text written on the back of the photo paper is quite similar to the arrangement of characters and stories written on Dorian's paper. "

Cen Jin made some comments.

Wu Yujie: "Character, story arrangement?"

Cen Jin: "It doesn't look like it?"

Ding Yiqing looked sideways: "Tell me."

Boss Long, Li Daoyi and others at the other end of the online chat also urged Cen Jin to expand his thoughts.

Cen Jin: "The story sense of the last four weird cases is less obvious, more like temptation. According to the devil...assuming that these cases are all caused by the same weirdness, we will tentatively name it 'the devil'. The devil takes advantage of the pain of the weak, Anger, hatred and other negative emotions make them accept the power of the devil in a desperate situation, and then take revenge on others and society.

To be honest, this is a very common routine. Watch more European and American horror movies and you will see the beginning and the end. "

"However, there is a beginning and an end, and the causal logic is online, but when it comes to the three cases of the hospital, the superhuman and the hotel fire, you can start to get a glimpse of the prototype of the story.

The occurrence of the first four cases is mainly due to the parties themselves, their personalities, and the injustice encountered in their life decisions, which led to the misfortune of the final result... I don’t mean to blame the parties and the victims deserve it. I mainly mean that it can be seen here The devil played the role of fueling the flames, and the accident happened because of the experience of the parties themselves and their personal fate.

But when it comes to the three cases of the hospital, the extraordinary and the hotel fire, you can clearly see the traces of being manipulated, and their lives are like marionettes.

I don't know enough about the hotel fire case, but the contents of the leftover paper can roughly see the setting. Maybe the role of mother only seeks money after finding the man who takes over the case, and doesn't intend to kill him, but the content of Daolin's paper reads: Dad and sister are together, brother cooks soup, mother prepares to kill husband, 'I' is watching.

So every time the man who is jumped by the fairy will become the mother's husband, sleep with the sister, and be killed after losing his function. When the man disappears, the mother will take the sister to start a new hunt.

Until the devil gets tired of this routine, kills everyone, and destroys all traces of existence. "

"You think the devil is the character 'sister'?"

"Not necessarily, but the 'sister' is undoubtedly the role of the accomplice, or she is the protagonist. A story needs the protagonist, and the others are supporting roles." Cen Jin pointed to the spread information and said: "The previous protagonists have no One is not the murderer who caused the tragedy, but they used to be the protagonists with tragic fates, and the later protagonists also had tragic fates, but they became ghosts, able to control the lives and deaths of others.

The hospital case should have the same experience. Although the whole story of Daolinzhi's snooping incident could not be found, some reasons can be seen from the three investigators. They are the microcosm of the hospital case. "

Ding Yiqing: "According to your speculation, this strange ability is quite terrifying. It can not only confuse people's hearts and manipulate other people's behavior, but also confuse their will, making them believe in the characters arranged on paper."

Wu Yujie: "It's not just manipulating other people's behavior, it's manipulating superhumans whose willpower is dozens of times stronger than ordinary people!"

Li Daoyi: "One thing to be aware of is not manipulating willpower, but directly reversing their cognition, making extraordinary people lose their original extraordinary skills, reason and judgment, and making them completely reduced to ordinary people, or even mental patients. .”

Boss Long: "Fuck, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes. We haven't encountered such a terrible weirdness so far."

Jiangbai Pingcuo: "If the hazard level is so high, it is unlikely that the task will be assigned to us."

Ding Yiqing: "We were only asked to collect information, but we were not asked to solve it."

Boss Long: "There is no beginning and no end, how do you record it?"

Ding Yiqing: "Collect the same cases, sort out the whereabouts of the demons and the logic of their actions, and leave the rest to others."

Boss Long: "All right." After a pause, he asked again: "Are devils only haunting Northern Europe?"

Ding Yiqing: "At present, it only appears in Northern Europe."

The online chat ended with Wu Yujie boarding the plane and disconnecting from the internet, and the group packed their luggage and flew to Northern Europe.

Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing also took the plane to Northern Europe. When they landed, they also took a look at the progress of the Vatican's handling of the ghost train. They had already dispatched an exorcist priest, and he would fulfill his promise only by waiting for the ghost to be released.

Wu Yujie arrived in Norway one step earlier, found a homestay in a small coastal town, rented a car, and went to the gas station at the entrance of the town to pick up Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing.

Cen Jin: "The others haven't arrived yet?"

Wu Yujie: "Jiang Bai and Lao Li went to another coastal town to investigate and record."

Ding Yiqing was carrying the suitcase, and asked, "Do they have a clue?"

Wu Yujie: "The old dragon was investigating in Iceland, and encountered a ship blocking the Norwegian Sea. He happened to encounter thick fog on the sea, and seemed to enter a very mysterious place. He vaguely heard the siren singing. He stayed in the thick fog for an unknown amount of time before coming out again. At that time, the ship appeared out of nowhere in the Icelandic harbor, and the time was still five hours past."

"The blocked sea area is the sea area where the ghost ship sailed that we encountered last time?" Cen Jin opened a pack of spicy sticks and gave it to Wu Yujie when he was rejected, then tore a small jelly and put it in Ding Yiqing's mouth.

Ding Yiqing ate it naturally, and Cen Jin threw it in the trash can, and then received a tissue from Ding Yiqing to wipe his hands.

Wu Yujie looked back at them, and said in silence for a moment: "Yes. The old dragon suspected that he encountered a time-space crisscross again, because he felt that the time in the dense fog was very short, not five hours."

Cen Jin: "So what does it have to do with Ding Yiqing's question just now?"

Wu Yujie: "Old Dragon and the ship guards landed in Iceland, and the ship had some problems, so he had to live in a coastal town in Iceland, and he could only go to the city to make calls every three days.

He said that there was a problem with the town and was investigating. He also told us that there are several coastal towns in Norway opposite Iceland that seem to have some connection with that town. Let us do a good job of collecting information here. "

Ding Yiqing: "What's the problem?"

Wu Yujie shook her head: "I'm not sure, Lao Long's voice is intermittent, and I can't make it clear on the phone."

Ding Yiqing: "Did you find anything during your investigation while staying in this small town?"

Wu Yujie shrugged: "No."

Cen Jin: "Then do we need to change the town to investigate?"

While talking, he searched out a bucket of macadamia nuts from his backpack, and when he didn’t find the pliers, he opened Ding Yiqing’s backpack and pockets to look for them. Ding Yiqing said that the pliers were not with him, and asked him to use gravity to knock out the nuts.

Cen Jin was unwilling, saying that not using pliers was disrespectful to macadamia nuts.

Ding Yiqing was speechless, and after thinking about it, he asked him to look for his pocket.

Cen Jin did as he did and found it, and asked him how he knew which pocket it was in.

Ding Yiqing said that he saw it this morning, Cen Jin was surprised why he didn't say it earlier, Wu Yujie started to cough at this time.

Cen Jin: "Have a cold?"

Wu Yujie waved her hand: "I'm choking on my saliva." She smiled and asked, "I remember that you two live quite far away, how do you know so clearly who pockets to put the pliers in?"

Ding Yiqing: "I just saw it."

Cen Jin: "Don't pay attention to what's there or what's not. I just thought about it carefully. You said that the investigation of the town can't find anything, but you still stay here to wait for us. It means that something has been found, right?"

Wu Yujie: "Old Huang is still so sharp."

Cen Jin: "Get lost."

Wu Yujie stretched out her hand to grab Cen Jin's yellow hair, took it out, took a closer look, and found that Ding Yiqing was protecting him tightly, and after thinking about the two people's undisguised posture on the road, she finally understood that it was spread out. Secret love come true!

Wu Yujie smiled with her hands behind her back, she didn't expect someone in the team to leave the order so quickly, it's a good thing!

"I used my authority to check the institutional database in this area, and found that there had been no strange phenomena in the past ten years. When I passed by the police station, I hacked into the database and checked. I found that there was no criminal record for nearly 20 years, not even a petty theft. Can you believe it?"

"You are looking at the database, and the paper records may not be entered." Cen Jin said.

"On the day when I became suspicious, I thought that the town really lived and worked in peace and order, the streets were clean, everyone obeyed the traffic rules, the shops were unattended, and there was no theft. I wondered if this could be utopia?

That night, I sneaked into the database of the police station to check. There was really no criminal record of nearly 20 years in it, and all the paper documents were covered with thick dust. Do you know that the prisons in the police station are empty, and there are spider webs? "

Ding Yiqing: "There is no town without crime. A superficial police station that does not operate for a long time will only lose its deterrent effect. Maybe it is not that there is no crime, but that the punishment of crime is not presided over by the police station."

Wu Yujie thumped her palms: "I thought so too, but I didn't catch the lynching, so I opened the files from 20 years ago. Guess how many criminal records there are in a year?"

Cen Jin: "...Don't use rhetorical questions, I don't want to waste time by making jokes."

Wu Yujie: "Okay, I won't support you next time you do this."

Cen Jin: "I'll wait for you to dismantle the stage."

Wu Yujie: "Tsk."

The childish ghost quickly got to the point after the quarrel, Wu Yujie said: "There are a thousand criminal cases, large and small. In this town with less than [-] people, there will be a thousand criminal cases within a year, which is worthy of a sentence. The capital of crime.

In the previous newspapers, this town was indeed a well-known crime town, but a year later, the crime disappeared and became a model town where people live and work in peace. It's strange, right? "

"What happened in the middle?"

"The town has a mayor."

"Then?"

"No more. Just investigate here."

The taxi at the gas station waved away, and drove away quickly without waiting for a response.

Wu Yujie: "Why do I feel like he ran away?"

Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing, who forgot about the driver after giving the money, remained silent.

Wu Yujie felt even more strange: "He seems to have been waving to say something to us just now." He said and looked at the two of them.

Cen Jin was confident: "Is there?"

It was rare for Ding Yiqing to feel a little annoyed: "I forgot."

Love makes people lose their minds.

Wu Yujie: "Take my car back to the hotel."

Just when the gas was full, Wu Yujie went to pay for the car and the gas station staff said goodbye warmly: "Welcome to come again next time, Wu."

Wu Yujie smiled, and drove to the side of the road to let Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing get into the car, then drove a few meters forward, braked suddenly, and turned to look at the gas station: "How does he know my last name!"

The staff of the gas station had returned to the lounge, which was empty and looked quite desolate.

Wu Yujie: "I only communicated with a few specific people in the town. I mentioned my surname, but I used English names for everyone else. The gas station is several kilometers away from the hotel where I live. How does he know my surname?"

Cen Jin: "It seems that the small town is more difficult than imagined."

Ding Yiqing: "I'm more curious about the relationship between the town mentioned by the old dragon and the weird town he found in Iceland."

Wu Yujie stared ahead and continued to drive, her voice was calm but her gaze was cold: "We'll know when we investigate clearly."

The car was speeding all the way, from the desolate road and the endless cornfields on both sides to the town with scattered red houses. It should have gradually become popular and lively, but the town was too quiet.

There are pedestrians walking, running, and walking slowly with dogs and cats on the streets. There are also cars passing by on the road, but there are no horns and traffic police. The traffic lights have been abandoned for a long time and are full of dust.

Cen Jin observed the road. The cars in front of him stopped slowly, and a long queue formed. Some pedestrians passed through the intersection.

The busy streets are so quiet that there is only the sound of car tires rolling.

Cen Jin lay on the back of the front seat, stared at the road ahead and said, "Old Wu, honk the horn."

Wu Yujie raised her eyebrows: "On the first day, do you want to be the first bird?"

Cen Jin: "We newcomers have already been young since we stepped into the town."

Wu Yujie laughed, with a hint of madness: "That's right." After finishing speaking, she suddenly honked the horn for a long time while driving, and the piercing sound of the horn resounded throughout the town, and countless people stopped in an instant. Look this way.

In the bright and clean window of the store, there are expressionless faces. The pedestrians on the street, the drivers of the cars and the faces of the passengers turned their heads, all staring coldly at the car that broke the rules.

But this level is not enough to dispatch the traffic police to intercept their cars, so at the next intersection, when the cars and pedestrians obeyed the traffic rules in an orderly manner, suddenly a car crossed the road, narrowly passing the pedestrians, leaving behind arrogant An indecent piercing whistle.

Wu Yujie ran through the red lights all the way to the hotel. As soon as she entered the hotel lobby, she saw her luggage piled up at the door. She picked up the luggage, turned her head and smiled at Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing.

The doorman came quietly behind her: "We don't welcome criminals."

Wu Yujie stepped back, looked up at the tall and thin doorman and asked, "What crime have I committed?"

The doorman was expressionless: "Running a red light and breaking traffic rules, you should be punished."

Wu Yujie: "I didn't run the red light."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the doorman's eyes, as if he thought Wu Yujie was a dead duck.

Wu Yujie explained patiently: "Because your traffic lights didn't turn on at all, which means that there are no traffic lights, so how can you count me trespassing?"

The doorman became dazed and puzzled.

Wu Yujie: "I haven't committed a crime, you can't slander me, please allow me to appeal—"

"What do you want to complain about?" The hotel owner came out, a silver-haired old woman.Her cloudy eyes stared straight at Wu Yujie: "The magistrate will not wrong any good person, and of course he will not let any bad person go."

Wu Yujie: "I can be sure that I am a good person."

The hotel owner looked at Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing: "What about you?"

Cen Jin clenched his right fist against his heart: "The party and the people can testify that I am a good person."

Ding Yiqing: "Excuse me, what crime did I commit?"

Hotel owner: "Running a red light—"

Ding Yiqing: "I didn't drive."

Innkeeper: "Her accomplice—"

Ding Yiqing: "She hasn't been convicted yet. There are no traffic lights. How can she be considered as running a red light? She is not an accomplice, and she didn't drive through a red light. How can she be considered guilty?"

The hotel owner's facial expression went blank, showing hesitation: "The sheriff declares you guilty..."

Ding Yiqing's voice became softer: "Is the magistrate the upholder and judge of the town's law?"

"No, he's just the executor."

"Who is the leader? Is it the mayor who sweeps away all evil?"

The hotel owner's eyes lit up: "Yes, it's Mayor Klein—"

"Mrs. Abel, good afternoon." A male voice came in suddenly to prevent the hotel owner from replying. Everyone looked back and saw a man dressed as a sheriff driving a police car at the door of the hotel. He took off his hat to salute , and then looked at Ding Yiqing and the others: "Dear foreigners, please follow me to the police station."

"Oh my God." Mrs. Abel exclaimed, "There have been no criminals in our town for many years. Why do these outsiders want to destroy the tranquility of our town?"

There was dissatisfaction in her tone, and compared to the plain and straightforward announcement of the crime just now, it seemed strange and dangerous.

Cen Jin: "Walk?"

Ding Yiqing and Wu Yujie had no objection, so the three of them, who had just arrived in the town, followed the sheriff to the police station where no criminals had visited for 20 years. There were no fences or guard booths at the entrance, and the courtyard and hall were quite tidy, as if they were cleaned every day.

There were only two police officers in the hall, a young black man named Launi, and a white woman named Mellie, who was also the sheriff of the town.

Mellie opened her chair and looked at the three of them in surprise and said, "This is the prisoner? Shouldn't you feel deeply guilty?"

Cen Jin raised his eyebrows: "Why do you feel guilty?"

Mellie: "You are destroying the peace and tranquility of the town."

Cen Jin: "We are foreigners, and we don't know that the traffic lights in the town are broken. We will make mistakes without guidance."

Melly: "Wrong is wrong, there is no reason. You also whistle to make noise, which exceeds the noise decibels stipulated by the town. If this happened a month ago, you will be expelled from the town. However, the town's recent years The reputation is well-known, and many foreigners have come here one after another. The mayor thinks that you are used to having no rules outside, and makes an exception to lower the standards of the rules, so you only need to be locked up at the police station for one night."

The sheriff who brought them here was called Thomson, and he paused after hearing the words: "How can you be so kind? They should be kicked out of the town."

Mellie looked to a small window above her head and said, "Do you feel the sea breeze blowing on your face?"

Thomson looked surprised.

Mellie: "There's going to be a storm tonight."

Thomson and Launi changed their faces at the same time, glanced at the three of Cen Jin and the three of them, they had no objection to the mayor's decision, busy with the work in hand, Melly said that someone should be sent to the house to notify the residents that there would be a storm tonight.

Lawney took the job.

Mellie asked again whose turn it was to see the lighthouse this time, and Thomson said with an ugly face that it was his turn.

Launi showed sympathy, and Melly said unconsciously, "You are so lucky. If you are spotted by a guest from afar, you might be able to enter that mysterious place."

Ding Yiqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Where is that mysterious place?"

It was only then that Mellie remembered that there were three outsiders beside her, and she patted her head in frustration and muttered, "Really, I forgot that there are outsiders in the police station. Don't ask too many questions, you have no right to know."

Launi sneered as he ate the leftover pizza at noon: "It won't matter if they know about it. Anyway, after the stormy night, everything will return to calm."

Mellie held her face, full of fantasies: "It's a pity that the list and order of the lighthouse keeper cannot be changed at will, otherwise I really want to replace Thomson... Thomson, you seem very unhappy?"

Thomson looked very irritable: "I have sea phobia, and it's not like you don't know it."

"What a pity." Mellie shook her head regretfully, and murmured, "That mysterious place is in the deep sea. Even if you were chosen, you might die on the way." She smiled and said, "I don't envy you anymore, Tom Mori."

Thomson stared at the clock fiercely with an indifferent expression, and turned his head to vent his anger on the three of Cen Jin. Of course, due to the strict rules, he didn't reprimand or beat him, but just made a nasty voice.

Put the three into a cell and Thomson was out.

Cen Jin leaned on the cell door and played with the lock: "One, the town has many rules, you can't break the law, the townspeople hate lawbreakers, we should be reported by passers-by for honking the horn and running the red light."

Ding Yiqing was beside him: "Second, there are three sheriffs, one sheriff and one deputy sheriff. The sheriff and the mayor are the same person, and Mellie and the deputy sheriff are related. Lawney has no family.
