Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 112: Hidden the universe
At half past two in the afternoon, Nancheng District.
Li Xing and Zhao Dahai found a tea stall on the side of the street, temporarily avoiding the sun above them.
At this time, when the sun was the strongest, the soil on the streets was blanched; there was no cloud in the sky, and there was no shadow on the ground for everyone to avoid. The people who live here take a nap, take a nap, and enjoy the coolness, so that the shadows of the people on the road are diluted a lot.
"Guest, would you like something to drink? Here are white water, herbal tea, sour plum soup and sesame soup."
"Ordinary tea will do."
"Okay, I'll take it for you!"
"Huh... it really wasn't so easy to find." Zhao Dahai shook his collar. "Evil cases were all over ten years ago. Even going to the scene didn't help much, not to mention the places where evil men appeared. It doesn’t mean that the Donghai Gang happened to kill people there. That kid thought it too simple."
"We only need to do our best. As for the result, it is beyond our control." Li Xing said with a light smile, "but your apprentice is ingenious. You can trace the source of abnormal death through the distribution of evil events. Most people really can't think of it."
"He has nothing else, but there are so many ideas." Zhao Dahai took the green tea and drank most of it in one breath.
"I'm a little bit concerned," Li Xing looked at the row of buildings across the street, "Generally speaking, how many people have to die in vain if the atmosphere of gathering is strong enough to produce charm?"
"Well...it mainly depends on whether the mood swings are big or not, and it has a certain relationship with who is dead." Zhao Dahai smacked, "but in general, there are more than a dozen people, sometimes a few Ten people are not surprising."
A dozen people...If you count the number of evil cases, what you get is not a small number.
"That's weird. This place doesn't look like it can handle more than a hundred people before being discovered." After some visits, they have narrowed the scope to the junction of Chengnan Zhengshou Street and Wangfu Street. This area happened to be connected to the four evil cases, and the suspicion was the greatest. The layout of the houses is connected to the left and right, lined up along both sides of the street, which can be described as extremely regular.
Most of the first floors of the houses are shops, **** shops, and wine shops, and the upper floors are residences, unlike those that can accommodate a gang.
As for the luxurious mahogany house in front of the tea stall, it occupies a large enough area, but it is essentially made up of two buildings, the brothel on the left and the inn on the right. Together, the two take up about half of Wangfu Street, and it is as high as three floors. It looks magnificent.
It's just that they are really a brothel and an inn. The two of them strolled around in the building and found nothing unusual.
"Indeed." Zhao Dahai agreed, "Fortunately, the inn, the brothel, I am familiar with. It is much more lively at night than during the day. Moreover, these two houses are open to welcome guests. Both, how could it be possible to kill hundreds of people in fifteen years and still quietly. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Li Xing asked quickly.
Although the other party's appearance is not good, it seems ordinary, but at any rate it is the master of the superior official, and the external perception may just be concealed.
"Unless they chop up people and send them to the kitchen."
"Puff——" Li Xing just drank the tea from his mouth, "Your thoughts are really... sensational."
"I think that the guys from the Donghai Gang have done it." Zhao Dahai said, "There are so many places to go, so I can't see any strange things in this world."
"But we need to pay attention to evidence when handling a case. What's more, what we want to investigate is not the other party’s methods, but a gang’s hiding place." Li Xing smiled helplessly, "How about we go around these two streets again? Circle, see what you can find?"
"That's all." Zhao Dahai took out two copper plates and patted them on the table. "Perhaps there will be clues on the other side when we go back."
They walked out of the tea stall and headed west along the Long Street. Just halfway through Wangfu Street, Li Xing stopped abruptly.
Something is wrong.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Xing did not answer immediately, but turned his head, looked at the other end of the street, and then said a moment later, "Is this street... this long?"
"Long? It's okay." Zhao Dahai scratched his head, "isn't it just an ordinary dirt road?"
"Why do I think it seems to be getting longer..."
"Hey, don't scare me. It's broad daylight. Even if ghosts build walls, you can't build them on the road—"
"I didn't mean that." Li Xing waved his hand. "What I said is lengthening. It is a literal extension and has nothing to do with evil."
"Then do you know how long it was originally?" Zhao Dahai curiously asked.
"I don't know."
"I don't know how to compare? Are you stunned by the sun?"
"I made the comparison based on this house." Li Xing turned and walked towards the tea stand.
Zhao Dahai had to keep up.
Back to the tea stand, Xiao Er smiled eagerly, "Guest, do you want to drink anything?"
However, Li Xing ignored the other party and crossed the street directly, starting from the middle of the brothel and the inn.
This time, he walked extremely slowly.
When the shadow of the three-story building disappeared under his feet, Li Xing stopped.
"Is there any problem?"
"Let's go back to the brothel again."
Zhao Dahai sighed, "You have to tell me somehow, what are you looking for?"
"I'm not looking for something, but measuring the number of steps." Li Xing explained.
"Number of steps?"
"Yes, I have been in this business a lot, and I am used to estimating distance by the number of steps. Sometimes even if I do not deliberately count, there will be a number in my head." He paused, "But we just When crossing this house, I didn’t seem to go that far."
"No...walk that far?" Zhao Dahai frowned.
"It may also be an illusion, so I have to go again."
The two got into the gate of the brothel and walked straight upstairs. At this time, when it was not open, there were only a few customers who wanted to grab the first card in the lobby, but no one cared about their entry and exit.
The second floor is a straight road~IndoMTL.com~ There are stairs at both ends, and there are wing rooms on the left and right. It only took ten breaths of time before Li Xing walked from one end to the other.
What's wrong becomes more and more obvious.
Here, he only took one hundred and nine steps.
But on the street, he had to walk a full 117 steps to reach the edge of the house!
After that is the inn.
And the result is the same!
When Li Xing stopped on the side of the stairs against the wall, the number of steps was more than ten steps less than outside.
The two sides add up to a distance of twenty steps, almost the width of a wine shop.
"This...what the **** is going on?" Zhao Dahai was also a little puzzled. From the outside, he found that the two stores were clearly close to each other. Even if the wooden wall is thick, it can't be deviated by twenty steps!
Is there something else inside this house?
