Chapter 621: [Mask] is here? They all evaporated? ! !
Of course, as for which images the recorder will capture in the end and which ones it "just happens" not to capture, those who understand will understand.
The iron gate of the factory had long since rusted into a dark red color and was tightly held together by an iron chain as thick as a baby's arm, with an incredibly large padlock.
Chang Erbing immediately aimed the camera of the law enforcement device at the lock, and the red light flashed, recording faithfully.
Li Shang took a half step sideways in tacit understanding, drew his gun, aimed, and fired in one go.
"Bang--!"
With a loud bang, the iron chain shattered and the debris fell to the ground with a clang.
Everything was in perfect order and there was nothing to fault with.
It was as if they were patrolling nearby, and were the first to rush to the scene of the accident after hearing the explosion, and they decisively broke into the room.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, squeezed in through the open door.
Chang Erbing walked in front holding the law enforcement device, and the camera slowly swept across the messy interior of the factory.
The ground was violently torn into a hideous wound several dozen meters long, with a huge sunken hole in the center.
Chang Erbing held the law enforcement instrument and ran quickly with small steps, keeping the camera firmly aimed at the crack on the ground.
When he was four or five steps away from the edge of the hole, he seemed to trip, and his wrist turned to the left, causing the law enforcement instrument to swing and sweep towards a pile of messy rubble nearby.
At the moment the camera turns!
Li Shang, like a cheetah that had been accumulating strength for a long time, suddenly jumped out from behind Chang Erbing and pounced on the edge of the cave.
He had to see the situation in the hole clearly before realigning the body camera to confirm whether the special agent was dead or just half dead.
Or will it be directly exposed in the camera?
But just as he took two steps, his raised foot froze in mid-air, and his whole body seemed to be under a spell of immobilization.
The blood drained from his face, leaving him as pale as a shroud in the morgue, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
At the same time, although Chang Erbing moved the camera away, his eyes were still fixed on the hole.
He felt his scalp explode, and a chill ran up his spine to the back of his neck like a poisonous snake, and every hair was sending out danger signals.
His whole body shook violently as if he had been electrocuted, and the law enforcement recorder in his hand slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground while spinning.
The camera happened to be aimed at the dark hole.
A strange black shadow leaped out, and a string of ghost shadows followed behind it. When they landed on the ground, they suddenly converged and merged into a slender human-shaped outline.
His outline became apparent, revealing a well-tailored pure black suit, and the dark-patterned cloak on the outside rippled like water waves, fluttering slightly in the night breeze.
On the chest, a playing card is pinned on the left lapel, shining with a cold luster.
And his face... was completely covered by a white, smooth, expressionless bone mask, with only two deep holes for his eyes revealed.
Behind that, there was a pair of evil eyes that were so beautiful that it made people's heart frightened.
He stood quietly on the ruins caused by the explosion, in the viewfinder of the law enforcement device, exuding a breathtaking elegance.
It’s so beautiful!
If it's not [Mask], then who else could it be? !
At this moment, time seems to be infinitely stretched and solidified.
Li Shang and Chang Erbing felt their minds go blank, as if someone had scooped out their brains with a spoon and put them in the freezer to freeze them into ice cream.
His mouth and tongue were dry as if he was put into an incinerator. No sound came out of his throat. Only his heart was beating wildly in his chest, almost shattering his ribs and jumping out.
“…….”
Is this a [mask]?
Why is he here?!
We...the coordinates and information we told the special envoy were all false. It was an elaborate trap designed to lure the special envoy to his death!
Every word in the forum is fictionalized according to the script.
But why...why would a carefully fabricated fake location attract a real, living [Fake Face]? !
[Mask] Is it so easy to adjust?
What the hell is going on? Which link went wrong?
Did someone secretly inform [Masked]? Is there a spy among us? ! !
Or...
Is there really such an absurd coincidence in this world, we just drew a cross on the map and it happened to be the place where [Mask] was hiding? ! !
Countless horrified question marks collided wildly in the two people's minds, almost cracking his skull.
Then, [Mask] looked over at them dimly, his weightless gaze falling on the two of them.
Chang Erbing was startled, and his soul almost flew out of his throat:
"Misunderstanding, I...I didn't mean to record you, my hand just slipped, it really was a slip!"
Li Shang's reaction was equally "decisive" and "manly". His right hand holding the gun shook violently.
With a "clang", the pistol was fired far away.
Just kidding, they are not special envoys, so how can they have the confidence to deal with the mask?
They both have a clear understanding of themselves. With their meager fighting power, they are not even able to fill the opponent's teeth when facing Mask.
Being a constable is definitely a high-risk job, the most important thing is - safety first!!!
Cold sweat soaked Li Shang's back, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his mind was spinning frantically:
"If [Mask] is here, then was the special envoy killed in the explosion? Special envoy, if you are not dead, can you please make a sound and come out to save me!"
[Mask] glanced at the two of them quietly, then looked away indifferently.
His toes tapped the ground lightly, and his figure suddenly became blurred, like a wisp of black mist blown away by the wind, passing silently between the two of them.
At this moment, Li Shang and Chang Erbing felt that the blood in their bodies had solidified, and a piercing chill passed through their necks, as if the scythe of the god of death had gently kissed them.
The breath of death was so close that one could smell its cold rust.
The two of them had the same thought in their minds: I'm going to die!!!
However.
The expected tearing pain did not come, and the darkness that swallowed up consciousness did not arrive as expected.
It seemed like a century had passed.
It was not until outside the factory that the roar of a car engine starting was clearly heard.
The sound was so familiar, so pleasant, it was their blue and white car.
The overwhelming feeling of exhaustion after surviving the disaster instantly overwhelmed the two of them.
Chang Erbing's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground with a plop, like a puddle of mud.
Li Shang was not much better off. He was gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently, as if he was trying to squeeze out all the remaining oxygen in his life.
After half a minute, Chang Erbing finally regained his voice and said with lingering fear:
"Captain Li, our car was hijacked by [Mask]..."
He felt like it took a huge amount of effort to say this.
Li Shang made an unintelligible murmur in his throat, his eyes still a little confused, and he looked at Chang Erbing for a long time without saying a word.
He really couldn't understand why [Mask] appeared here.
Chang Erbing was even more confused.
He trembled, looking at Li Shang hesitantly, with a questioning look in his eyes:
"Captain Li, what's going on?
Are you really in cahoots with the Mask? Is this a trap within a trap?"
Li Shang understood the subtext in that look, and a feeling of suffocation and absurdity rushed to his head, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't utter a single word.
He really didn't know how to explain it. Everything that happened tonight was beyond the reasoning scope of this "detective".
He took a long breath, forced himself to suppress his turbulent emotions, glared at Chang Erbing fiercely, and then carefully moved towards the edge of the hole.
The shaft was filled with smoke and dust from the explosion. Under the pale beam of the flashlight, there were twisted and deformed pipe structures, collapsed bricks and stones, and large areas of charred marks from high temperature burns.
The whole scene looked like a normal explosion scene.
The body of the special envoy was nowhere to be found, and it was not known whether he was buried in the pit.
There was no trace of Feng Ju and Ma Bin either. The entire shaft was empty, with no human figures or bodies in sight.
Li Shang racked his brains and even the detective power in his body exploded, but he still couldn't figure out the current situation. What was going on?
It seems like everything is wrong, and yet everything is right, and vice versa.
Chang Erbing jumped in and picked up the law enforcement instrument. He slightly adjusted the angle and faced the buried pit.
He coughed dryly and lowered his voice:
"Captain Li, you can't carry a law enforcement device anymore. It's unlucky to carry this thing!"
Li Shang turned around silently, turned his back to the law enforcement instrument and started digging.
Although they were no match for [Masked], they were still quite strong against the Pit who couldn't fight back.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire bottom of the pit was roughly dug.
As a result, not only was there no trace of the special envoy’s body, but even a charred body part or piece of clothing could not be found.
The entire explosion site, except for the wreckage of the pipeline itself, was eerily clean!
The special envoy was not killed in the explosion here. He didn’t come here at all?
Just now, [Mask] didn’t look like he had been hit by an explosion, so who was hit by the explosion?
Air? ! !
Li Shang stared at the empty pit and suddenly felt cold all over.
The most crucial question is, if the special envoy was not bombed, then where did he go and is he dead now?
If he hadn't died...
Li Shang didn't dare to think further, and he couldn't figure it out.
Chang Erbing watched Li Shang's changing expression from the side. To be honest, he hadn't seen such a confused expression on Captain Li's face for a long time.
Since he was awarded the title of "Super Detective", it seems that no matter how difficult the case or how tricky the mystery, it can stop Captain Li.
After all, the "power of detective" is not omnipotent.
Li Shang felt that his little universe had burned out. He grabbed a tuft of hair on his forehead in annoyance and pulled it hard.
A strand of hair with follicles was pulled out, causing a sharp pain in his scalp, but the pain actually made his confused thoughts a little clearer for a moment.
“That’s right!”
Li Shang raised his head suddenly and said to Chang Erbing,
"Ask Ma Bin. Call Ma Bin right away! Quick!"
Chang Erbing quickly took out his cell phone, found Ma Bin’s number in the address book and dialed it.
The long dial tone was particularly eerie in the dead silence of the ruins.
Beep-beep-beep-
Until the call was automatically hung up, the only response they got was a mechanical busy tone.
No one answered.
Li Shang's heart sank suddenly, and he had an extremely ominous premonition - could Ma Bin be dead?
"Hit again!"
Li Shang's voice trembled slightly.
"Call Feng Ju! Try calling Feng Ju!"
Chang Erbing found Feng Ju's number and pressed the dial button again.
It was still a long wait, still no one answered, and it eventually turned into the same cold electronic busy tone.
Li Shang's heart sank completely, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
It can't be a coincidence that Ma Bin and Feng Ju lost contact at the same time.
With his detective intuition, this case is almost closed - the two people are most likely killed.
I just don't know whether these two died at the hands of the special envoy or at the hands of [Mask].
It would be fine if he died at the hands of [Mask], but if he died at the hands of the special envoy, then he would be doomed.
Chang Erbing looked at Li Shang's suddenly dejected face, and his heart was gripped by great fear. He said anxiously:
"Captain Li, what should we do now?"
Li Shang's eyes were bloodshot, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"Search, we have to search the shaft. If they're alive, we have to find them. If they're dead... we have to find some body debris!"
The beam of light from the flashlight twisted wildly in the shaft like a dying snake, shining left and right.
Five minutes later.
Deep in the shaft they found a pool of dark, dirty blood that was half solidified and had a strange, gelatinous texture at low temperatures.
The ground around the stained blood was in an even more messy state.
Large pieces of concrete stones were turned over and stirred up, and footprints of varying depths were plowed out on the ground. There were several deep scratches on the pipe wall not far away, and powder of unknown substances was scattered around, forming a thick pile.
There were also two broken, waxy yellow fingers, bloody and without nails.
It is obvious that an extremely tragic life-and-death struggle took place here.
Li Shang picked up the severed finger and looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"The knuckles are thick and the skin is loose and sallow. The owner must be quite old. It's not Feng Ju's, nor Ma Bin's, and certainly not the special envoy's.
No, whose finger is this?"
Li Shang really couldn't figure it out this time. He really didn't understand why uninvited guests would appear one after another in a sewer at random.
What does that mean? The air in the sewer shaft smells good, so everyone likes to crowd into the sewer shaft?
Li Shang paced back and forth anxiously for a few steps, and finally squatted back in front of the pool of blood. The flashlight beam trembled slightly, illuminating his livid face and his lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
Under the flashlight, the black blood on the ground had a strange luster.
Judging from the amount of blood loss, he should be dead.
Who died?
Special Commissioner? Ma Bin? Feng Ju? Or the owner of the severed finger?
If someone is dead, where is the body?
If they were not dead, where did these people go? They couldn't have just disappeared from the face of the earth, right?
It’s not scary whether they evaporate or not. What’s scary is that if they all evaporate, then shouldn’t he and Chang Erbing also be smart and evaporate with them?
Otherwise, it would seem a bit out of place!!!
