Pollution throughout the territory

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport. Among the crowd at the airport gate, there were three people who attracted the attention of all the passers-by around them.

The girl has long emerald green hair that falls down her back, and her hair is as smooth as satin. She has a beautiful face, a small nose that is slightly straight, and a faint smile on her red lips, which is enough to make people forget all their worries.

She was wearing a long white dress, and the skirt spread out like a lotus flower, revealing her white ankles. Her delicate jade feet were wearing a pair of transparent sandals, and her steps were as light as stepping on clouds.

In front of the girl is a man with a stern expression. His appearance is enough to capture the hearts of all women in an instant. Even men will have a huge affection for this face.

The man has no unnecessary expression. Under a pair of sword-shaped brows, his eyes as deep as the sea are always looking straight ahead, and his steps are firm and powerful.

Although the other man next to them was good enough, compared to them, he was like a gift that came with buying something, losing his color.

As they walked past, passers-by subconsciously moved out of the way. Even the most confident people would feel ashamed standing next to them.

This group of people is none other than Xia Ren, Lily, and Niu Changshou.

Fortunately, Ansenberg City was not too far away, and they finally arrived by plane before night.

At this time, the sun has set, but some of the afterglow still spreads to half of the sky, rendering the clouds and the tops of the city's high-rise buildings golden yellow. The stars have emerged, becoming the embellishment of the other half of the sky, decorating the coming night.

"What are we going to do next?" Niu Changshou asked as he walked.

On the way here, Xia Ren had already clarified his goal: "First check the missing persons in this city."

Even if he wanted to be found dead, he had to find the right place. In a city so big, he couldn't just find a place to lie down on the side of the road, right?

As long as the ghouls and witches take action, no matter how cautious they are, they will definitely leave traces. You only need to check the missing persons records to know which areas have abnormalities, and the success rate will be higher.

They went directly to the police station in Ansenberg City, where employees from the logistics department were already waiting for their arrival, and relevant cases and data were ready.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. Xia Ren didn't drink a sip of water. He sat down and started reading the missing persons report in Ansenberg City.

The result surprised him. There were nearly 10,000 missing persons cases registered within one year alone. You must know that the total population of Ansenberg City is only 5 million, which is equivalent to one person out of every 500 people every year. Missing.

And then looking down, the recovery rate is more than 40%, less than 50%. Even so, there is one missing person in every thousand people who has no news.

The missing rate is one in a thousand, which is terrible. This probability is simply higher than the average probability of a car accident. However, you must know that most people in car accidents will not be life-threatening, but no one knows what will happen to the missing people. Terrible things.

"Is this number normal?"

Xia Ren asked the logistics department staff next to him.

The staff of the foundation's logistics department basically have part-time jobs at the Arbitration Court, so they know much more about these situations than he does.

The man nodded: "This is normal. Some other cities are more serious than this."

Xia Ren frowned but said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to read the information in his hand.

This time he looked at the proportion of missing cases in various areas of Ansenberg City and found that they were basically the same.

But taking a closer look, he discovered a suspicious point.

The reasons for missing cases recorded in other areas are more complex. Some are young boys and girls who have run away from home, some are having conflicts with their family members, some are having trouble at work, or are unable to repay debts, and some are suffering from Alzheimer's disease and are missing inexplicably. Wait, most of them are elderly, and young people in their twenties also account for a large proportion.

But in Shanfa District, west of the city center, the number of cases of unexplained disappearances suddenly dropped sharply, and the proportion of missing young people also plummeted.

It's the same city, and there are no problems in several surrounding areas. Only here there is a big difference, which is obviously abnormal.

Xia Ren raised his head and said, "Bring me all the crime report records in Shanfa District in the past year."

"yes."

The logistician went out to prepare the materials he needed, but it took half an hour for him to come back.

Xia Ren looked at his empty hands and asked, "Where are the things?"

The logistician looked ugly and said, "They have been holding me back just now. When I wanted to check it forcefully, I learned that the police station's intranet was suddenly hacked and all the data could not be accessed."

Niu Changshou narrowed his eyes slightly. When did the police department dare to go against the arbitration court?

Xia Ren tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a few seconds: "If you can't read it, then don't read it. There is always information about the Arbitration Court. Give me the lawsuit cases of Shanfa District residents that you have accepted in the past two years."

The logistician nodded and started to contact his colleagues.

Ten minutes later, a pile of documents was delivered to the office, and Xia Ren asked them to help them look through it to find out if there was any information about the missing persons.

As expected, they soon found several lawsuits, all of which were filed by residents of Shanfa District who sued the police superintendent for refusing to investigate the disappearance of their relatives due to insufficient evidence.

Obviously, the Shanfa District Police Station refused to accept these disappearance cases to cover up something.

Looking through the detailed lawsuit information, Xia Ren saw that most of the missing persons were women, and they were young women. They were basically between the ages of 20 and 30, and most of the missing people were at night.

He was already certain that these people were taken away by the witches wandering around the corners of the city and sacrificed to the ghouls.

And the police department of this city is an accomplice of the ghoul!

Xia Ren told Niu Changshou all his thoughts. He should know how to calculate this account.

The next question is how to follow the clues to find the ghoul.

He needs women to use as bait, but this job is very dangerous. Witches and ghouls are not good people. If you are not careful, they will kill you with cruel methods.

Witches, wizards, and magicians are actually people who study magic and secret knowledge. They are just called differently depending on habits. However, according to Niu Changshou's description, witches who signed contracts with ghouls originated earlier, and They are a group of their own. They are best at seeing through people's hearts and bewitching people's reason and desires. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to deceive them.

So the question is, where can Xia Ren find suitable candidates to serve as bait?

Dear gentlemen, for the sake of the recent stable updates of White Cat, please give me a ticket... woo woo woo woo.
