The weird thing is that now even the people in the local security bureau don’t know what’s going on.

The incident first happened a week ago, and the first person to get into trouble was an expert from the Security Bureau's expert group.

Not a novice, but a senior expert.

This senior expert was even the deputy leader of the Ice City expert group. He was experienced and capable, but he passed away extremely suddenly. After get off work, he went home and had dinner and chatted with his wife and children as usual.

Then it disappeared.

I can't find anyone and I can't contact them.

He didn't go to work, and no one ever saw him again, either in the real world or in the nightmare world.

Two days later, the body was found in a stinking ditch in the city, and the person had already been soaked and rotted.

Apparently, he had died the night he disappeared.

Logically speaking, if he died in the real world, he would still exist in the nightmare world, but this person still could not be found in the nightmare world.

If this was just an individual case, it would definitely not alert the General Administration.

But similar incidents would occur every day afterwards, and not just once. Although the ways of death were different, some died in stinking ditches, some were hanged in the woods, and some jumped from buildings, but the paths were all similar: first they disappeared, and then died mysteriously, mainly suicide.

From this perspective, the deputy team leader at the beginning should have also committed suicide.

He jumped into the stinking ditch.

This time the local security bureau couldn't sit still anymore.

For them, no matter how powerful and terrifying the enemy is, as long as the enemy is clear, they will not be afraid, and can even move forward bravely and fearlessly.

This is also in line with the character of the people in Ice City.

If you don’t agree, just do it.

What are you afraid of? Actually, you are afraid of something, because you still don’t know what the enemy is, what the weirdness is, and you can’t even be sure if it’s a ghost.

This was the first time they encountered such a strange thing.

There is pressure and fear.

Who wouldn't be scared? The unknown weirdness can kill people in this way. Although it looks like suicide, everyone knows that it is impossible for so many people to commit suicide suddenly, and many people have no reason to commit suicide.

Just like that deputy team leader, he has a wife and children, a harmonious family, a stable career, and no worries about food and clothing. Why would he commit suicide?

That makes absolutely no sense.

So this must be a strange murder case.

But after several days of investigation, there was no result or progress.

Instead, people die every day.

There were many ordinary people, as well as two other members of the expert group.

It gives people the feeling that anyone who is targeted by this unknown weirdness will basically have no way out.

"Oh, people are in a panic, so we have to block the news. Not to mention ordinary people, even we are afraid of dying in this way." The branch leader sighed.

"Take eating for example. We rarely went out before, but after something like this, we just eat as much as we can. If we are really going to die, we will just eat less and less."

This reason is very sufficient and Lin Mo agrees with it very much.

"Is it true that there are no clues at all?" Lin Mo had just arrived, and he thought that if he could get some clues from local colleagues, it would definitely help him avoid a lot of detours.

But if you have no clues, you have to start from scratch.

Lin Mo is also a person who is afraid of trouble.

If there was a shortcut, he would definitely want to take it.

"We have a list of the dead, the order of death, and their background information. Do these count?" The person in charge was a little embarrassed.

"Of course. Where's the stuff?"

"Don't worry, I've brought everything. Xiao Liu, quickly show it to Expert Lin."

Xiao Liu handed over a stack of information.

It looks like it has been prepared for a long time.

Xiao Liu is a spirited young man, a very capable person, with bright eyes and a strong body.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Mo was full of admiration.

In fact, not only him, but anyone who works in the Security Bureau, especially those who can join the expert group, knows expert Lin Molin.

The growth history of expert Na Lin has been written into the training textbook of the expert group of the General Administration.

The most typical of the typical.

A role model among role models.

Especially now that Lin Mo is one of the four special experts in the General Administration, and the only living special expert.

According to Xiao Liu, this was finally seeing a living person.

"Expert Lin, look, all the information is here. At present, there is no special connection between the victims. We have visited each one of them, whether in the real world or the nightmare world, and we have checked everything. Basically, we can confirm one thing."

"What?" Lin Mo asked.

"The strange murderer who killed people didn't seem to have a specific target. It seemed like he would kill whoever he caught. Whoever encountered him would be unlucky."

"Is it really like this?" Lin Mo had doubts.

"It is indeed the case at the moment. Because there is no pattern, we cannot defend in advance. Every time we go there, we just collect corpses. It is so frustrating."

When Xiao Liu got excited, the veins on his neck popped out.

Lin Mo quickly advised that it was useless to worry about this matter and not to get sick from anger.

Lin Mo already understood the basic situation.

To put it simply, there were extremely strange and mysterious deaths in Ice City.

Not sure if it was a ghost.

Because this matter is too strange and there is no way to defend in advance, objectively speaking, as long as you are in the Ice City, anyone may be the next target and may die.

This thing is more terrifying than a nightmare.

As the saying goes, if you don’t sleep properly, your loved ones will shed tears.

As long as we sleep properly, our lives will not be affected too much.

But the mysterious deaths in Ice City are different.

Once it is really exposed, it will inevitably cause panic among everyone.

This is not a good thing.

But it was impossible to suppress the news completely, so Qi Wei heard about it from others on the plane and thought it was the work of some evil spirit.

Of course, the final result of the investigation may also be the work of evil spirits.

No one can tell now.

We'll have to investigate later.

"Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, there's no need to rest. Let's get to work. I came here to solve this problem, and the leaders of the General Administration are also very concerned."

"I'm so sorry. I didn't let you rest."

"It doesn't matter. Once this matter is resolved, I will have a good time in Ice City for two days. This is my first time here."

"Really? That's great. I'll be responsible for accompanying you then and will make sure I take good care of you."

When Lin Mo said he was working, he really meant it, without any exaggeration.

In the past, the leader of the Bingcheng branch was responsible for the entire investigation of this matter.

Now that Lin Mo is here, the other party can only give way to others.

He would be happy to do so. This kind of thing is too stressful. Privately, this leader told Lin Mo more than once that if Expert Lin didn't come, he would go crazy.

There is pressure, of course.

Especially in cases like this, some things must be found out, otherwise, there will be no way to get away with it.

But the problem is that there seems to be no clues that can really help solve the case.

Now that Lin Mo is in charge, everyone from top to bottom will listen to Lin Mo on this matter, and there will be no discounts.

"Let's go to the home of the first victim, Team Leader Huang."

Lin Mo looked at the information and pointed to the first page.

Xiao Liu went to make arrangements immediately.

Lin Mo is assigned a special investigation team, which nominally has only a dozen people. In addition to those who support logistics within the branch, there are also field staff.

There were seven people following Lin Mo.

They are all veterans.

In fact, this matter requires the participation of all staff. If necessary, the entire branch and even other departments can immediately transfer personnel.

An order has been issued from above to resolve this issue in the shortest possible time.

If the mysterious deaths are not solved, anyone in Ice City could be the next victim.

It would be even worse if this strange thing spread to other places.

Lin Mo had just arrived and knew very little, and he was not an expert at solving cases. He just felt that when anything happened in the first place, there must be a special reason.

The beginning is a very important part.

That's why I thought of going to look at the first victim and starting from him.

Soon Xiao Liu and his friends took Lin Mo to Team Leader Huang's home.

This is a residential area within the Ice City Security Zone.

Not big.

Small high-rise.

Team Leader Huang lives on the first floor, and has a small yard of about 20 to 30 square meters, where he grows flowers and plants. However, it seems that no one has taken care of them for a few days, and many of them have died.

It is broad daylight now and Team Leader Huang's children have gone to school.

Not at home.

His lover is there, a young woman who looks to be in her thirties.

He has not yet recovered from the grief of losing his loved ones and looks very haggard.

The family members and Xiao Liu were all acquaintances, so several team members went up to comfort them and introduced Lin Mo to them.

Upon hearing that he was a special expert from the General Administration, Team Leader Huang's wife was very excited. She said that in the past, Huang most admired and revered Expert Lin and had wanted to meet him, but she didn't expect that in the end she would not have the opportunity.

Lin Mo asked the other party to recall the details of that day.

This is in the record, but Lin Mo still plans to ask again.

The results were no different from what was recorded in the transcript.

Simply put, everything that happened that day was no different from usual. Team Leader Huang did not say anything special. They had dinner and talked about the children's studies. In the words of Team Leader Huang's wife, it was an extremely normal day.

Before coming here, Lin Mo had already inquired about it. He found out that Team Leader Huang and his wife were very loving and there were no family conflicts between them.

Lin Mo went to see Team Leader Huang's bedroom and study.

Nothing special about it.

Team Leader Huang’s wife said that the study had not been cleaned up since that day, and no one else was allowed in except the people from the investigation team, so everything here was exactly the same as it was that night.

Not even the garbage was thrown away.

At this time, Xiao Liu remembered something and pointed to the information and said that they had investigated the study before and found a crumpled note in the trash can of the study.

There were two words written on the note.

"What word?" Lin Mo asked.

"Hide and seek!" said Xiao Liu.
