On the other hand, Yuan Mengge roughly guessed what kind of bomb she had dropped on the Niutou Town Police Station, but the aftermath was not her concern.
After finishing her classes during the day, she continued her search for the other two props at night.
The last two items are located in Dahe Village and in the bamboo forest next to Dahe Village.
She only discovered the prop was under the root of a bamboo tree when she got to the bamboo forest.
It looks like someone deliberately buried something underneath and then planted bamboo to cover it up.
It took her a lot of effort to dig up the entire bamboo plant; its roots, like a fishing net, covered the ground beneath.
They dug out what was underneath after they reached the bottom.
It was a suitcase, stuffed full of stuff.
The luggage was made of special leather, so the damage was not very severe.
Although the surface layer was corroded by the soil, it was not completely rotten.
The zipper was completely rusted; it got stuck halfway through and couldn't be opened.
[Ding-dong - Acquire item: Several relics of the deceased]
Personal belongings of the deceased: This includes personal items carried by twelve deceased individuals. Purpose: Physical evidence (please hand over to the police)
These items appear to be things the deceased were carrying after they were killed.
Yuan Mengge didn't open her bag. Instead, she replanted the bamboo, covered it with soil, and then carried the bag to the car and tied it to the back seat.
She then left the car in the bamboo forest and walked towards the location of the last prop.
The village isn't far from here; it's just a short walk away.
As soon as she entered the village, the dogs would bark whenever she passed by the homes of villagers who kept dogs.
Following the navigation tool, we arrived at a family's house, where their dog immediately barked fiercely.
"Woof! Woof woof woof woof—"
Since it's close to midnight, the homeowner has probably just fallen asleep.
The dog barked for a long time before a faint sound came from inside the house.
At first, the people inside just muttered a few words and didn't come out to check the situation.
But the barking didn't stop, and after a while, someone came out of the house.
"What are you yelling about? What did you see that you've been yelling about for so long?"
A man stood at the doorway, shining a flashlight around to survey the surroundings.
I didn't see anything.
I looked again at the barking dog and saw that it was only barking towards the back of the house.
The man walked over there with a flashlight, looking left and right with a puzzled expression.
This person was one of Yuan Mengge's targets, her younger brother Wu Zhendong.
Wu Zhendong walked around the back of the house, where there was a small forest.
He looked around but didn't see anything suspicious.
They assumed it was some wild animal from the mountains that had run out, which was why the dog was barking.
After scanning the area and confirming that nothing was amiss, he turned and walked back.
However, at that moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and a pair of hands reached out towards him.
"Mmm—" Wu Zhendong was suddenly covered in the mouth from behind, while a hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
And they flipped each of them onto the ground.
His body was tightly wrapped around his back, his mouth and nose were covered, and his collar was strangled.
After he realized what was happening, he struggled desperately, but the person behind him was incredibly strong, and he couldn't break free from their grasp no matter what he did.
The feeling of suffocation quickly caused the brain to fall into a coma.
He lost consciousness shortly afterward.
The moment he lost consciousness, Yuan Mengge released him, then carried him to a small forest, tied him to a tree, and sealed his mouth with duct tape.
That way, even if he wakes up, he can't run away or make a sound.
Then she went back to the front of the house, and the dog started barking again.
But this time, no one came out of the house.
Although the dog was barking, it was chained up, so it couldn't do anything but bark at her.
Yuan Mengge pushed open the door to the main house and went inside.
Wu Zhendong's brick house was not big, with a living room and a bedroom. The bedroom door was right next to the wall in the living room.
The kitchen is in the front yard.
After she entered the living room, she sensed that there was someone else in the bedroom.
So she turned and walked to the bedroom door. In the dim light of the bedroom, a thin woman huddled in the corner of the bed, watching her warily.
Yuan Mengge: "..."
The woman's feet were chained with a dog leash.
The length of the chain seemed to prevent her from leaving the room.
Moreover, all the windows in the house were boarded up.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, but she was thin, had disheveled hair, wore ill-fitting clothes, and her exposed skin was covered with bruises from being beaten.
When Yuan Mengge looked her over, she stared at Yuan Mengge with a look that was both frightened and wary, yet also tinged with curiosity.
This scene clearly shows that she is being held captive here.
Strangely, though, when she was imprisoned here, her first reaction upon seeing a stranger was not to ask for help, but to become extremely wary.
'System, who is she?' Yuan Mengge asked the system in her mind, her eyes fixed on the woman.
[Scanning People - Searching - Search Results]
Wang Meiting, 26 years old, from Sanxian County, went missing three years ago while visiting relatives. Reason for disappearance: Abducted and kidnapped.
Yuan Mengge looked at Wang Meiting and said, "Were you kidnapped and brought here? Why didn't you call out?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Meiting's expression hardened, and then her eyes flickered with a change in expression.
"Can't you speak?... Never mind, I didn't come here to find you... If you want to leave, I can untie you and take you away. If you don't want to, then let's go our separate ways. I'm looking for something, just don't get in my way." Yuan Mengge said, and began searching the room.
Although she knew about the other person's situation, she did not know what the other person was thinking.
Moreover, the other party clearly doesn't believe her now.
If all else fails, once the case is solved, the police will naturally find her when they come to Wu Zhendong's house to investigate.
When Wang Meiting heard her words and saw her searching the room as if no one else was there, she didn't say anything.
I just quietly watched her rummage through drawers and cabinets.
Yuan Mengge searched every nook and cranny of the room, including under the bed, under the table, and in the cabinets, but found nothing that matched the mission item.
After watching her search for a while, Wang Meiting suddenly knocked on the bed board to attract Yuan Mengge's attention, and then pointed to the top of the wardrobe.
Yuan Mengge followed her finger and looked up at the top of the wardrobe.
Since she couldn't see anything that way, she moved a stool to the wardrobe, stood on top of the stool, and reached out to touch the top of the wardrobe.
Then I touched something.
She pulled the thing off.
"Crash—bang—"
