Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 719

"Do you have any clues?" Zhang Mengdi was also listening to people chatting when he was coaxing Nana to play. He almost understood what happened in the disappearance of the female college student. After returning to the room with Li Teng, he asked him.

In Zhang Mengdi's eyes, Li Teng is omnipotent.

He is extremely intelligent and cannot be the same as other people. Maybe he has already seen something? It's just that I didn't say it in front of everyone.

"I can't talk about anything else for now, but I'm basically certain about one thing." Li Teng spoke.

"What is it?" Zhang Mengdi looked at Li Teng expectantly.

"In the case of the disappearance of three female college students, the shop owner's son has a problem, and there may be a big problem." Li Teng expressed his inference.

"Why? Did you find anything? Didn't they say that people who seek wealth generally don't kill themselves?" Zhang Mengdi became even more curious.

"He lied. He previously claimed to Boss Ding that the three female college students liked dogs and took his Erha up the mountain with them. Later, when Erha came back alone, he learned that the three female college students were out of the house. Things like that.

“But now I have doubts about what he said.

“Those three female college students want to take their dogs up the mountain. Based on the behavior of the shop owner’s son, he will definitely charge them a high deposit, rent, and even dog food.

"The three female college students just like his dog, and it doesn't have any special purpose like us renting the dog, so they will probably refuse after hearing the price.

"In addition, in the photos they took, you can see that the three of them are carrying a small backpack. The small backpack can hold very limited things, and there is no dog food or the like.

“Even though they put dog food in their backpacks, the dog was not seen in any of the photos they took after climbing, which is a bit unreasonable.

"If three female college students really rented this dog to go up the mountain, it means that they are dog lovers. Dog lovers go out to play. It is impossible that when taking pictures, there will be no dog in the hundreds of photos on the three mobile phones. .

“So, they didn’t take the dogs up the mountain at all.

“The owner’s son said that they took the dog up the mountain and the dog went down alone, etc., which is a lie.

"The reason why he lied should be the key to this case."

Li Teng ended his analysis.

"Yeah, what you said makes sense! The shop owner's son lied. Since he lied, the disappearance of the three female college students may have something to do with him!" Zhang Mengdi's expression suddenly dawned on him.

Li Teng opened his backpack, took out the Xiaomi phone, and clicked on file management. After the drop-down menu, the secret folder unlocking screen appeared.

"If you can open this secret folder, you might be able to find some useful information. No matter what, it will be a comfort to the families of the three young female college students." Zhang Mengdi sighed. .

Li Teng closed the unlock screen of the secret folder, opened the address book on his phone, and looked at the phone number 139715XXXX.

Why did this girl dial an empty number?

Li Teng subconsciously clicked on the icon to make a call.

A virtual keyboard for dialing appears on the phone screen.

123

456

789

Nine numbers, three in a row, arranged in sequence.

Li Teng's mind suddenly thought, could it be...

Li Teng returned to the secret folder unlocking screen again.

There are nine points here that need to be connected.

Li Teng drew on it with his fingers.

This time, the secret folder was actually unlocked by him!

Zhang Mengdi couldn't help but widen his eyes. Isn't this incredible? It is very difficult to unlock this kind of pattern. How can it be unlocked by just drawing it a few times?

There is only one file in the secret folder, which is a video file.

"The owner of the phone is a smart girl, and she conveyed the information in this way." Li Teng praised.

"Hey! Can you tell me how you unlocked it first?" Zhang Mengdi is more interested in this question now.

"Look, the phone number has nine dots, and the unlocking screen also has nine dots. One number corresponds to one dot. Press 1 first, then connect to 3, then to 9, then 7... This is how I unlocked it." Teng demonstrated it to Zhang Mengdi.

"You are so smart! If this video is really the message that female college student wants to convey, only a smart person like you can interpret it." Zhang Mengdi looked at Li Teng with admiration.

"That's not necessarily true. Once the phone is in the hands of the police, they can easily crack it." Li Teng shook his head.

What he is more concerned about now is the content of this video.

Li Teng clicked on the video.

"When we were halfway up the mountain, we met three masked men. They forced us to put on our hoods with knives, and then walked over the mountain road for more than an hour to get here.

"We seemed to be locked in a basement or a house in a cave. We couldn't see the outside, but there was an exhaust fan on the roof.

“There is no cell phone signal here, so there is no way to call the police.

"They will probably take away our mobile phones. I recorded this video. If anyone sees this video, please call the police for us. However, we don't know where we are now..."

The video ends with a cry and then it ends.

"They are probably still alive!" Zhang Mengdi's eyes widened.

"Yes, they are probably still alive and locked up in a secret room in the mountains." Li Teng nodded.

"So, this backpack was deliberately found by criminals? Why did they do this?" Zhang Mengdi looked confused.

"I can almost deduce what the whole incident is about." Li Teng narrowed his eyes.

"Ah? What's going on?" Zhang Mengdi asked Li Teng quickly. It would be good to have a smart husband who could answer her doubts at any time.

"The three female college students must have seen this hotel at the foot of Donkey Head Mountain on the Internet. The accommodation was very cheap, so they booked a room here...their room and board prices at that time must have been different from ours.

"After they came here, someone...probably the shopkeeper's son and his two companions, took a fancy to the beauty of these three female college students. After talking to them, they confirmed that they had no other companions, so they treated them Having bad thoughts.

"While they were hiking, the three men who had been following them suddenly showed up, forced them at knifepoint to a secret room or other place they had built in the mountains beforehand, and locked them up."

Li Teng stopped here.

"Why did they arrest them and lock them up for no reason? They didn't ask for ransom from their parents or anything like that." Zhang Mengdi was a little confused.

Chapter 720

"Because they are beautiful!" Li Teng answered Zhang Mengdi.

"What's wrong with being beautiful?" Zhang Mengdi continued to be puzzled.

"They were beautiful, so they locked them up and treated them as their heart slaves." Li Teng had no choice but to explain to Zhang Mengdi in detail.

"No way? So disgusting?" Zhang Mengdi's eyes widened.

"If you hadn't come with me, you would have been locked up by them too." Li Teng glanced at Zhang Mengdi.

"No way? Why?" Zhang Mengdi was startled.

"Because you are beautiful too..."

"You don't need to go around so much to praise me, right? Now that you know the truth, stop talking about this and call the police to save people!" Zhang Mengdi suggested to Li Teng.

"Calling the police now will alert the suspect, and even with this video, the identity of the suspect cannot be confirmed, and it may kill them." Li Teng frowned.

"Then do you have any better idea? If they are still alive, they will definitely be worse off than dead now. Sigh... I really hope they can be rescued earlier." Zhang Mengdi looked anxious.

"I'm thinking." Li Teng tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"By the way, if things are as you speculated, what happened to the ghost you saw through the window of 207 last night? What about the supernatural events you encountered? And what happened to the female ghost in the photo?" Zhang Meng Di suddenly thought of several doubts.

"When I went to have breakfast this morning, when I passed a room downstairs, the shop owner's son was cleaning things in a storage room. I saw a SHE billboard leaning against the wall of the storage room..." Li Teng snorted coldly.

"You mean, the three female ghosts they saw outside the window last night were just a billboard?"

"Yes."

"What happened when they said there was blood dripping from the top of the head, and then the blood disappeared?" Zhang Mengdi continued to ask.

"Follow me." Li Teng took Zhang Mengdi to the bathroom of the room.

Zhang Mengdi was a little surprised as to what Li Teng was doing when he took her to the bathroom.

After Li Teng came to the bathroom, he climbed onto the sink, stretched out his hand to remove the bathroom ceiling, then put his head into the ceiling, turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and looked around.

“The tops of all bathrooms are connected and nearly one meter high, which can fully accommodate an adult hiding inside. The owner’s son can go up to the ceiling passage from any room.

"If my guess is correct, the red blood stain is actually some kind of liquid. He opened a small cover from above while the tenants of 207 were taking a bath and poured it down. This liquid encountered air or water , it will automatically fade over time.

"The shop owner's son is studying chemical engineering. Preparing this kind of liquid is a piece of cake for those who study chemical engineering."

Li Teng explained to Zhang Mengdi with the image above the ceiling taken by his mobile phone.

"You can actually hide people above the bathroom!" Zhang Mengdi was shocked. Isn't this too insecure?

"Now do you understand why they deliberately took out the backpack and asked Erha to lead us to find it?" Li Teng asked Zhang Mengdi.

"Still... don't quite understand..." Zhang Mengdi was still confused.

"They wanted to take advantage of Boss Ding and me coming over to report on this matter, and completely confirm this matter as a supernatural incident. Three girls were captured by ghosts, so naturally no one will doubt them.

"Three poor girls, staying in that dark place, no one will look for them anymore, so they can only be their slaves for the rest of their lives." Li Teng answered Zhang Mengdi.

"So they played all kinds of tricks in room 207 last night, and deliberately released the girls' backpacks, mobile phones, and photos on the mobile phones to create the illusion that they encountered supernatural events?" Zhang Mengdi understood now.

"Yes, these mobile phones and this backpack have been specially processed. It is impossible to find their fingerprints or DNA information on them. In the end, the police had no choice but to leave the matter alone.

"But they didn't expect that a girl was very smart. She recorded a distress video and set it as a secret file. She also left the method of opening the password lock in the communication record in the form of a dialed number. As a result, I saw this A video." Li Teng nodded.

"What's going on with the female ghost in the photo?" Zhang Mengdi continued to ask.

"It's just forcing female college students to pose for photos. The female ghost is very tall and obviously dressed as a man. The female ghost has no feet. In fact, it's because she wears black shoes and black socks. The photo is blurry at night, which gives the effect of floating in the sky. "Li Teng explained.

"Husband, you are so awesome! You have such a sharp eye! Let's go find the shop owner's son now, confront him face to face, and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the three female college students. We should be able to rescue them, right?" Zhang Mengdi is still there now. Urgent to save people.

"He is not alone, but has two accomplices. We can't question him so openly. We have no direct evidence to prove that he did it, and we can't torture him or anything like that.

"Let them know that I have seen the distress video and am suspicious of them. They will jump over the wall and move the people, or kill them, or starve them to death. In this way, we are not saving people, but harming them. Yes." Li Teng shook his head.

"Yes, he has two accomplices hiding in the dark! We don't know their identities at all, it's so scary!" Zhang Mengdi had a nervous look on his face.

"If my guess is correct, the two accomplices should show up to find us soon." Li Teng smiled slightly. He looked at the Xiaomi phone in front of him. After a while, he deleted the video in it and copied it from another I randomly copied a file somewhere and put it in a secret folder and encrypted it.

"Ah? Will his two companions come to find us?" Zhang Mengdi's expression became even more nervous.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

The knock on the door startled Zhang Mengdi.

Li Teng said those two accomplices would come to find them? Is this really coming? Isn’t this too predictable?

Suddenly facing two criminals, Zhang Mengdi was still very nervous even though he knew that he was protected by Li Teng.

"Don't say anything, just go to the bathroom and close the door and pretend to wash your face." Li Teng explained a few words to Zhang Mengdi.

"Okay." Zhang Mengdi stood up quickly.

"Who is it?" Li Teng put his phone in his backpack, walked to the door, and asked outside in a lazy tone.

"Boss Li, have you slept? It's us! Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou, we suddenly thought of a few doubts and want to discuss them with Boss Li. Isn't it convenient?" The voice of a man named Zhang came from outside. .

"Please come in."

Li Teng opened the door.

Standing outside were men surnamed Zhang and men surnamed Zhou, who had previously said they wanted to join Li Teng Beideli Studio.
