Chapter 2 Tasks and Stimuli
For Su Mo's complaints, Chu Han was not only not angry, but was very useful.
He licked the corner of his mouth proudly, and made a very 'humane' gesture of wiping his neck towards Su Mo before disappearing.
"Brother Su, who were you talking to just now? Did you find anything new?"
Putting down the dressing mirror, Su Mo walked to a certain position and said, "Yes, it's here."
The wooden floor under his feet was where the female ghost disappeared. Su Mo lowered his body and slammed it hard, and the floor was slammed open.
"Huh? There's even a dark grid!"
With the new discovery, even Mark, who doesn't fit in with the group, looked happy and hurriedly gathered around.
The secret compartment is small, and there is only a worn vanity box inside.
"The vanity box and dressing mirror, this boy is very delicate!" Xiao Ya took the vanity box while complaining, and wondered: "It's English letters? No, not English..."
"Πανδρα!"
After the voice came from me, everyone looked at Lu Lanlan at the same time.
The pale-faced Lu Lanlan kept retreating, until she retreated to the corner before exclaiming, "Don't, don't open it!"
Seeing this, Xiao Ya didn't dare to open it, so she could only ask, "Don't panic, what do you mean?"
"Pandora."
There was no ups and downs in the calm voice, and everyone's attention shifted to Su Mo.
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Su Mo showed a strange smile, "This is Pandora's Box."
"Pan, Pandora's Box?"
Shivering, Xiao Ya suddenly felt that the dressing box in her hand was extremely hot, and she wanted to throw it away quickly.
Not only Xiao Ya, but anyone who knows what 'Pandora's Box' represents, the expression is not much better than Lu Lanlan at this moment, except...
"The key is in Pandora's hands!"
When everyone was startled by the 'Pandora's Box', Chai Gang suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly, "That's great! There must be a clearance key in it!"
Three black lines flashed across his forehead, and he couldn't even look at the mark that Chai Gang had beaten.
"Banana man, what did you say?"
Grabbing Mark's collar, Chai Gang gestured to fight.
"Enough, just stop making trouble!"
There was no time to pay attention to the two of them, Xiao Ya subconsciously looked at Su Mo, who was the most calm among the people, "The character above is Pandora's name? Well, then..."
Everyone except Chai Gang knows what 'Pandora's Box' represents.
Just because know it, dare not open it rashly.
"That...cough, who can explain, who is Pandora?" Although "uneducated", Chai Gang is not stupid, and he doesn't realize that he has made an embarrassment.
It's a pity that Xiao Ya and Dai Xingzhang, who had solemn expressions, were not in the mood to pay attention to him.
Chai Gang, the self-proclaimed boss, suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, and wanted to get angry. Nai He couldn't find a suitable reason, so he dragged Mark with a face full of resistance and walked to the corner.
"If it's really Pandora's Box, don't open it!" Dai Xingzhang said in a panic while holding down the box.
As we all know, Pandora's Box is filled with the wrath of the main god Zeus, as long as it is opened, disaster will come to the world. "Pandora" is written on the dressing box, and in a world that seems to be supernatural, anyone who sees it will get sick.
However, what many people do not know is that in addition to disasters, the magic box also contains other things, such as: the hope of the goddess of wisdom.
"Athena once sealed the Seed of Hope at the bottom of the box, but the panicked Pandora didn't find it." Su Mo was still calm, and looked very awkward.
Xiao Ya glared at him fiercely and said helplessly, "I know this story too, but... do you really want to open it?"
"Is there any other choice?" Su Mo asked rhetorically.
In the end, everyone decided to open the box;
At this time, Chai Gang, who had been marked 'cramming popular science', also came back, his face was as ugly as it was ugly. That said, he wasn't averse to opening the box either.
Dai Xingzhang had no choice but to let go of his hand and dodged far away.
After everyone ducked away, Mark, who lost the boxing game, opened the box with an uneasy expression...
No disaster came, nothing happened;
The small box contains only two items: a pink diary and a photo.
There is an eight-digit combination lock on the pink diary. After Xiao Ya tried unsuccessfully to use 19740516 and 19740517 respectively, she had to give up temporarily and focus on the photos.
"A husband and wife, a pair of children, what a happy family!" Dai Xingzhang sighed.
Yes, the photo is a family portrait;
In the photo, the father is sitting on the bench with his wife in sunglasses; the daughter is holding a doll and huddled in her father's arms; the younger son is digging with a plastic shovel and a lollipop in his mouth.
Looking left and right, I couldn't see any way. When Xiao Ya was about to put away the photos and diary, Su Mo suddenly said: "The female ghost."
"Female ghost? What female ghost?"
Chai Gang pointed to his head, "Brother, won't you be scared?"
Su Mo ignored him, but turned her attention to Lu Lanlan in the corner, "Show her the photo."
Not knowing whether to accept her fate or not, Lu Lanlan finally calmed down.
After Xiao Ya handed her the photo, she was unsure: "Yes, is it this little girl? I was terrified at the time and didn't dare to look closely. But I remember that the female ghost is in red clothes, and how old is she... "
"It's just a photo, what does it represent?"
Dai Xingzhang urged: "Let's go quickly! Until now, we don't know what the mission is!"
Signaling Xiao Ya to keep the diary and photos, everyone will stop delaying and immediately open the door and leave the second floor.
Walking down the creaking stairs, everyone came to the lobby on the first floor.
"Finally willing to come down?"
An unfamiliar voice came from the corner of the living room. Following the voice, a woman was sitting behind the light and shadow.
Soon, everyone realized that they wanted to go wrong, because the woman rocked the wheelchair and slowly slipped out of the shadows.
Xiao Ya's eyes turned and she was the first to ask, "You are..."
"Several police officers, did you find anything after staying in my son's room for so long?" The woman's voice was exhausted and her face was very pale.
"what?"
Surprised, Chai Gang quickly covered his mouth.
The woman in the wheelchair is none other than the mature and beautiful mother in the photo—but she is much thinner now.
From the woman's title, everyone knew the role they were playing at the moment.
It's just that although he knows his identity, he still doesn't know what kind of case to investigate.
Quickly glanced at the overall layout of the house, Su Mo asked first, "I did find something, but..."
"But what?"
The woman said dissatisfiedly: "The extortion calls have come, is there any other secret?"
[Trigger the main mission: save Tan Le. 】
[Dear Mr. Su, you are a criminal police investigator of the Ministry of Public Security of m city x. In the early hours of this morning, the Ministry of Public Security received a report from Ms. Tan Qing from District X, claiming that her 10-year-old child, Tan Le, was kidnapped and extorted RMB 100,000. During the investigation, you and your colleagues discovered other hidden information, please check Save Tan Le while discovering the truth. 】
save?
This word is used very well, Su Mo thought thoughtfully.
Obviously, everyone has received a task reminder;
Xiao Ya preemptively said, "Don't worry, we will rescue Tan Le safely! Ms. Tan Qing, do you know who kidnapped Tan Le? Where is the contact information and transaction location?"
Tan Qing regained his indifference and handed the map to Xiao Ya, then said impatiently: "I don't know who kidnapped Lele, the location and contact information are marked on the map. I'm just a cripple, where can I get ten 10,000 yuan? I'm tired, I'll leave it to you next..."
After saying that, Tan Qing shook the wheelchair and walked towards the bedroom.
Seeing this, Lu Lanlan murmured in a low voice, "Is it too indifferent? If I am kidnapped, Dad..."
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew and lifted the blanket that Tan Qing covered on his legs.
"Ah... uh!"
As soon as Lu Lanlan screamed, she was immediately covered by Xiao Ya who was beside her.
Even so, Xiao Ya's face was not good-looking.
After Dai Xingzhang winked at everyone, the six of them didn't even bother to open the map, and hurried towards the door...
Until they successfully left the courtyard and came to the street, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You read that right? That old woman's legs turned out to be..."
Mark swallowed, took over Chai Gang's words and said, "It turned out to be a bone!"
Yes, the moment the breeze blows, everyone can see it clearly. The woman is not a simple disability, her legs turned out to be bones!
This is a 'dream paradise', no one cares that this is unscientific, and no one thinks that the woman is playing a prank.
"It's not right, it's not right!"
Xiao Ya's face became more and more ugly, "Could it really be a supernatural script? Then isn't our mission..."
"Don't panic, everyone, get in the car first!" Dai Xingzhang, who was a little older and prudent, said quickly.
After Dai Xingzhang finished speaking, everyone noticed that a Jinbei van was parked in the corner not far away.
"I'll drive!"
Chai Gang couldn't help but walk towards the driver's seat.
Looking at the side sliding door of the back seat of the Jinbei van, Su Mo's mind moved slightly and took the lead in getting on the co-pilot.
The co-pilot was occupied, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Dai Xingzhang's eyes, and then he gestured for the two ladies to sit in the innermost position with a smile on his face, while he and Mark were on the side of the two side pullers in the front row.
After getting in the car, Chai Gang asked Xiao Ya for a map, but Lu Lanlan said anxiously: "Do you really want to go now? Do you want to, do you want to wait until dawn?"
This proposal was approved by Mark with both hands, and even Xiao Ya, who handed Chai Gang the map, hesitated.
"Little sister, you are too tender!"
I don't know where to take out a cigarette, Chai Gang lit it and said: "In the script task, every second is precious! Since the system chooses night, it has its own reason. If we really dragged on to the second God, what unpredictable accident can happen!"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows: This yellow-haired ruffian is not as brainless as he imagined.
But that's right, how can someone who can survive two scripts be an idiot?
The map given by the woman does have the contact information of the 'kidnapper', but there are no mobile phones in this era, and these fakes dare not go back to the police station, so they have to take the risk and go directly to their destination.
On the map, the bright red circle is clear at a glance, and the designated trading location for the kidnapper is in the wilderness in the suburbs.
"It's not too late, let's go now!"
Chai Gang has a good memory, and after reading it twice, he threw the map to Su Mo, started the van and headed straight for the suburbs...
Chai was just driving, and the rest were not idle.
Xiao Ya and Lu Lanlan tried to crack the password on the diary, while Su Mo and the others speculated about the real purpose of this mission based on limited resources.
"If it's really a supernatural incident, the task is probably not as simple as saving the hostages." Dai Xingzhang was serious and took the lead in saying, "I found out that there is only one woman in the house, Tan Qing, and his husband and daughter are not there!"
Tan Qing is the mother of the family portrait, but when such a big thing happened, the man in sunglasses and the girl in his arms did not appear, which was obviously abnormal.
"Also, her child's surname is Tan." Su Mo said.
Mark immediately questioned, "Although I returned to country Z not long ago, I also know that country Z is very liberal in terms of surnames. It seems normal for a child to have a mother's surname? Well, our country M is not comparable to this."
Although there is a saying in Country Z that "Marrying a chicken follows a chicken, marrying a dog follows a dog", even in the feudal period, a woman who married into her husband's family did not have to change her name or surname. Especially now, as long as the husband and wife negotiate, it is not a problem for the child to follow the parent's surname. This is indeed stronger than most countries, especially the m country that shouts "democracy and freedom" every day.
"Don't forget, this is the seventies."
The older Dai Xingzhang explained: "The sex in the 1970s was still very conservative, and Tan Le was still a boy."
Su Mo nodded, he also thought so, and he didn't think the man with sunglasses was a doorstep.
As such, there is only one last option left.
"Remarriage or divorce."
Chai Gang, who was in charge of driving, suddenly interjected, "It's the same as my family..."
Su Mo glanced at Chai Gang, and continued: "Divorce is not very likely in this era. Most likely, the husband died and then remarried, and there are still three doubts."
Dai Xingzhang asked, "Which three points?"
Su Mo didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "First, there is a problem with the layout of the room, there is no daughter's room on the first and second floors; second, her own son was kidnapped, and Tan Qing... she is too indifferent; third, the time line is not Exactly!"
"Yes, I found it too!"
Since the beginning of the mission, Lu Lanlan, who had been nervous all the time, suddenly interjected, "If I were kidnapped, my father would be in a panic, and he would have to save me even if he went bankrupt! That woman was obviously rich, and she was reluctant to even give up 100,000 yuan!"
More importantly, although Tan Qing tried his best to appear anxious, the indifference and emptiness in his eyes still could not deceive anyone.
As for the third point, Su Mo just wanted to explain, but there was a hint of red in the corner of his eyes...
"Depend on!"
"careful!"
"don't want!!"
The screaming and cursing came from the two girls in the back seat and Chai Gang respectively. All of a sudden, everyone's heart was in their throats, and they looked at the red-clothed woman who suddenly appeared in front of them with incomparable horror...
The Jinbei car is driving on the unmanned asphalt road, and the speed has soared to 90 miles. After all, in the middle of the night, who would have thought that a big living person would suddenly appear on the road in the wilderness?
At this moment, saw the high-speed Jinbei car rushing straight to the red-clothed woman in the middle of the road. The bright searchlight made the panic on the woman's face extremely clear...
At the critical moment, Chai Gang in the driver's seat squinted, he subconsciously slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel!
However, before the steering wheel had time to move, a strong hand stretched out from the co-pilot and tightly clamped Chai Gang's right arm!
At the same time, Chai's foot that was just about to step on the brake was kicked away!
Not only that, the foot that kicked Chai Gang did not withdraw, but stepped on the accelerator! The speed of the car that had plummeted soared in an instant, and the Jinbei van rammed straight towards the woman in red!
Under the searchlight, the woman in red opened her eyes in disbelief, and screamed in horror from her mouth!
"what!!"
"boom!"
The screams came to an abrupt end, and the woman flew high like a kite with a broken string.
bang...when...
The van bumped and drove the woman's body away...,, everyone remember to bookmark the website or remember the website, the website m.. Free and fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft. Error chapter.
