Merchant of the Underworld

"So, the surveillance also captured the moment when she disappeared?" I asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoai nodded and said, "But there is nothing else. On the contrary, it has made many police officers panic."

"Then look at it a few more times, maybe you'll find something." I said confidently.

Although ghosts kill people, it seems that there is no trace, but that is only for ordinary people.

Anyone who is a master of yin and yang rice can see something fishy with just a pair of discerning eyes!

Zhang Xiaoai quickly called up the video, and the screen showed it was 7:15 in the morning.

There were tall sycamore trees on both sides of the wide road, and a tall girl wearing a white skirt walked from a distance carrying a light blue schoolbag.

There were two long black lines hanging from her ears, as if she were wearing headphones, and she was walking slowly towards the camera with unhurried steps.

Her legs are slender and her steps are light. It can be clearly seen that there is a red thread tied to her ankle.

She was walking like that, and suddenly, she disappeared!

As Zhang Xiaoai said, it was as if someone had cut out a section of the video. The girl who was walking slowly and smoothly one second disappeared without a trace in the next second!

"Go back, watch it again, and slow down the camera." I ordered from the side.

"We've all tried, but we still haven't found anything." Zhang Xiaoai said helplessly, but still rewound the video and played it again. A minute before disappearing, she slowed down dozens of frames, almost like a slideshow, moving forward one frame at a time.

I stared at the picture closely, paying close attention to every detail.

"Stop!" I yelled suddenly.

Zhang Xiaoai hurriedly pressed the pause button, then turned her head and looked at me strangely, as if to say, there's nothing special about it?

"She seemed to be shaking her shoulders just now." I said seriously: "You can zoom in a little more."

Zhang Xiaoai pressed a few times on the keyboard, and the screen instantly enlarged several times.

This video was taken by a police camera used to track down the vehicle involved in the accident, and it is extremely clear. Even if it is magnified several times, it is not blurry at all.

But the girl in the picture shrugged her shoulders slightly and frowned, as if she felt a chill.

"Look at her hair!" I pointed at the picture and said: "At this moment, the hair on her forehead and temples were floating, and judging from the extent of the floating, the wind was not strong. But the hair falling on her front, back, left and right None of the leaves moved, not even the corners of her clothes were lifted."

"This is not an ordinary wind, but a sinister wind! Also, look carefully at the red thread tied to her ankle. Is there any difference from the one just now?"

Zhang Xiaoai stretched his head forward, widened his eyes and said, "It seems to be a bit heavier than the color just now..."

"That's right!" I said solemnly: "Although Gao Shuang is a receptionist, judging from her home furnishings, she is very tidy and loves beauty; Zhai Rumeng is a high-level white-collar worker in the company. The underwear and jewelry they wear are all extremely high-end, and considering this little girl, they all have a dirty, black red string on their ankles, which seems unnatural."

"This rope was supposed to be very clean, but at the moment the deceased was killed, it suddenly changed color and was stained with a layer of black dirt. Now I am absolutely sure that there is a murderer behind the scenes who is using the sacrificial red rope. Harm people.”

"Making a sacrificial red rope requires extremely strong willpower, and you also need to have a strong belief that the red rope can make your dreams come true. Such a place should not be difficult to find. Check the information of all the victims immediately to see if they had any Been to the same place!”

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." As soon as Zhang Xiaoai saw that I had found some clues, she immediately stood up and hurried out.

After my guidance, Zhang Xiaoai quickly responded with a message.

Osmanthus Mountain!

All of these missing people have been to Osmanthus Mountain outside the city recently.

However, even Zhang Xiaoai himself is a little unsure about this piece of information. Is it the clue I am looking for?

Because Guihua Mountain is close to Qingjiang City, it is a famous scenic spot. Every holiday weekend, there are always groups of people going there to play. Even on normal days, there is a constant flow of customers.

In one day, more than a hundred young girls went to Osmanthus Mountain. Why did something happen to just a few of them?

Wang Xiuxiu went there last weekend when the whole class went on an outing. Except for her inexplicable disappearance, everyone else was fine. Which girl in her class was not a young girl?

Zhai Rumeng went with the manager and the clients. There were also several young secretaries among the company, and they were all alive and well. Why was she the only one who encountered an accident?

After hearing the news, I was a little confused.

But the inference about the red rope of body sacrifice is definitely not wrong. Could it be that the clue of Osmanthus Mountain is wrong? Was there another place where they were killed?

However, I changed my mind and said, "Since there are no clues now, it would be better to go to Osmanthus Mountain and see for myself."

"Uh, do you really want to go?" Zhang Xiaoai was stunned when he heard this.

"Why, are you too scared to go?" I asked with a smile.

"That's not true..." Zhang Xiaoai rolled her eyes at me and said, "The case of serial beheadings has just been solved, and everyone on the task force has been busy day and night for many days, so I gave them a holiday, but these guys I couldn't sit still at all, and we had made an appointment to go to Osmanthus Mountain together early. I... didn't I want to thank you? I invited you to dinner and stayed. If they catch me..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoai glanced at me hard.

"No worries, we are investigating a case. I'm going to take the first step, you can go or not as you like!" I said.

Originally it was Zhang Xiaoai who asked me for help, but now that I have found out that there is evil in this case, and that the opponent may even be a colleague, as a dealer in evil, I can't ignore it.

I don't care about using femininity to make a small amount of money, but using femininity to kill someone is a taboo in the industry!
