Paranormal incident investigation notes

Now, Lu Ming knew a little more about the enemy hidden in the dark, although this was still of little use for the time being.

Unless we can infer from this what the enemy's real purpose is in continuing to commit crimes. But now it seems that this road is still unavailable.

Zhang Dingshan showed some appreciation for Lu Ming's reaction speed and summary. He continued: "So, what do you think about the enemy's new modus operandi?"

This is very important.

Lu Ming was silent.

After a long time, he said: "Looking at the enemy's modus operandi, they do not want to confront us head-on. Because of this, they chose the least noticeable method at the beginning, which was to kidnap the 'dead man'. Now, if they If there really is an 'indicator', the new method of committing a crime will most likely still be as concealed as possible. And, besides kidnapping a 'dead person', which method is the most concealed?"

He Wei knocked on the table dissatisfied: "Hey, we are asking you."

"Okay, okay." Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and continued: "I think there are two possibilities. One, it is still kidnapping a 'dead person', but the method will change to some extent, such as replacing some new hibernation and suspended animation drug to escape Our detection. Two, missing persons.”

After the words "missing person" were spoken, several people were silent for a moment.

No matter what era, no matter what political structure, no matter how clean and efficient the government is, there will always be a dark side in the world. This is unavoidable in any era.

Crossfires between secretive underground forces, vendettas, assassinations, corpse hiding, accidents, avoidance of misfortunes, disasters, human trafficking, etc., may cause a living person to disappear from the world, never to be found again.

It is estimated that the average number of missing people in the world every year is in the order of tens of millions.

Of course, a large part of this number will reappear in the future, but there is also a small part - still averaging more than 100,000 per year, who will never be found.

They may slip and fall off a cliff during a trip, and their bodies may be eaten by wild beasts. They may slip and fall into crevices in the ice, never to see the light of day again. Some may be swallowed by quicksand, some may be buried in a tiger's mouth, and some may be buried in a dark corner. People were killed, their bodies were burned, some were imprisoned in some underground chamber, etc., any situation was possible.

Even with the capabilities of the World Government, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate every disappearance case.

And... given that this secret organization now kidnaps one person every few days on average, with a frequency of only about a hundred people per year, there is no way to investigate such a small number of people hidden among such a large number of missing persons.

On the other hand, there is no way to investigate the "new hibernating suspended animation drug".

Even the anchor drug molecules currently used to detect whether corpses are suspended animation were only detected because of Lu Ming, a survivor. Unless another survivor appears, it is impossible with human technology.

Both roads are dead ends and lead nowhere.

"I'm afraid the only feasible way now is to start from the true purpose of that secret organization. And this can be found out by analyzing the commonalities of the five victims."

One thing the five victims have in common is most likely the real purpose of the secret organization's continuous "kidnapping" operations.

Both Zhang Dingshan, He Wei and Lu Ming have already thought of this. But the follow-up analysis actions are also impossible to start.

Although these five people are from different parts of the world, including men, women, old and young, they still have a lot in common. For example, they are all human beings, and they are all healthy people, but this is obviously meaningless.

No meaningful common ground can be found, or in other words, people simply don’t know which common ground is meaningful. In this way, it is impossible to discern the operating rules of that secret organization.

"This road doesn't seem to work either..."

Things get extremely tricky.

Lu Ming felt a little panicked at this moment.

That was the panic caused by the fear that this case would eventually become unsolved and eventually shelved.

If this case becomes an unresolved case, Zhang Dingshan and others will just have one more question in their minds, and their subsequent work and life will not be affected at all. After all, according to them, it is normal for such a case involving some kind of "supernatural force" to have no final result. There are countless unsolved cases archived in the Archives of the Planetary Security Bureau.

But I am different!

I don’t want to live in fear all day long. I can only hide my name in fear for the rest of my life, never be able to see my parents, relatives and friends again, and never be able to return to normal life!

No, no, absolutely not!

At this moment, He Wei looked at Lu Ming with a hint of sympathy.

She knew that if there was no progress, the final result of this case would really become an unsolved case. And this means giving up temporarily or permanently. The only difference lies in whether clues about this case will emerge again at a certain time in the future.

This is obviously a matter of luck and fate.

Faced with this type of incident, it is helpless to resign yourself to fate.

Lu Ming's tone was a little dry: "Existing evidence shows that on average, hundreds of people disappear inexplicably every year due to the brutality of secret organizations. As representatives of civilized security forces and as protectors of ordinary people, you, you guys will not Are you going to sit back and ignore it?”

He Wei sighed: "Although I also know that this cannot be justified, but... each of us has tried our best, and there is nothing we can do. You know it."

Lu Ming did know. He clearly saw how much resources the world government devoted to this case, and how much manpower and material resources it mobilized.

There are so many experts out there, just look for them.

So many soldiers and advanced equipment were mobilized as soon as they were told.

Involving the investigation of millions of hospitals, we did it as promised.

Every avenue imaginable was tried.

If there is still no progress, what else can be done?

Zhang Dingshan said: "Lu Ming, you don't have to worry too much. It's not time to give up yet. We will continue to investigate this case."

Lu Ming's face looked very bad.

"I'll find new clues. I will."

…

Lu Ming knew that although he had done nothing wrong from beginning to end and was just an innocent victim from beginning to end, now, except for the murderer who was still hiding in secret, he could not blame anyone.

Just like He Wei said, no one wants to be like this, but there is nothing anyone can do.

So, now, the only thing I can do is to save myself.

Help yourself!

Zhang Dingshan and the others will continue to investigate and work hard for a while, and will not give up now. So, this period of time is my only chance.

We must find a turning point! You must find meaningful common ground among the five victims, including yourself!

Only in this way can we break the deadlock and find a breakthrough!

But, but...

Looking at the information of a total of five victims, including himself, in front of him, Lu Ming's eyes were red and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.

The information is very detailed and basically covers everyone's life. Just like Lu Ming's own information, it even shows some of his experiences as a child. Even he himself had forgotten these experiences.

It is obvious that the data collectors put their heart and soul into this work.

"There is no intersection of time and space...no; no life experience; no common acquaintances; no actions or events that may lead to being targeted, no, no, no, none!"

If, as described in some literary and artistic works, everyone went to a strange place, or received a strange phone call or email, or had some strange beliefs and worship customs, or held some strange rituals, category, which can also be regarded as a clue, which can be used to launch subsequent investigations. But nothing, nothing!

"Is it really a random crime? In that case, I really have no chance..."

Random crimes are the most difficult cases to solve. People have basically reached a consensus on this point.

After reading it for two days without sleep, Lu Ming, who was extremely tired but still energetic, had to temporarily close the folder.

He had to admit that none of the professionals from the Planetary Security Agency standing behind Zhang Dingshan and He Wei could find meaningful common ground, let alone himself.

but……

"Maybe we were looking in the wrong direction from the beginning."

"If I am a person who has mastered 'supernatural power' to a certain extent, no, it is not necessarily a human being, it may also be an alien life. If I need to kidnap some humans for some reason, then, I What might be the criteria for selecting targets?”

As a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy, Lu Ming has received a certain degree of professional scientific training. At the same time, his experience as a part-time science fiction writer has made his thinking more divergent, and he is good at thinking from a tricky, weird, seemingly bizarre, unexpected but reasonable perspective while combining it with a real scientific system. question.

This is the way to eat as a science fiction writer. Without this ability, how can we come up with amazing science fiction "ideas"?

Now, Lu Ming planned to put aside the conventional thinking direction and think about this issue from other directions.

"If I were an alien, or someone who had mastered alien technology beyond human capabilities, what would be my standards for viewing humans?"

Lu Ming thought a lot, for a long time. In addition to eating and sleeping, within the allowed range of activities, he always walked around, bowed his head and meditated.

It is his personal habit to keep his brain highly tense and awake through aimless walks.

And all this fell into the eyes of Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Can stimulating him and oppressing him through a sense of crisis really inspire him?"

Zhang Dingshan looked calm: "Try it."

"If he can really help us solve this case, then maybe we can absorb him into our organization."

"Let's see and then talk."

One morning three days later. After another sleepless night, Lu Ming, with red eyes, found Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"I have an idea that I can try."

New pink work. . . Please give me some recommendation votes. If you can get a monthly pass, that would be even better. I beg you! ! ! !
