Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 134 Another Chess Piece Falls

How's Su Mei?
As the creator of all this, Chen Ning'an wandered outside the Yinque Community for a long time afterwards, but never saw Su Mei again.

She's not dead.

Chen Ning'an had calculated during divination that Su Mei's current condition was not in danger of life or death.

But he couldn't find the other person, and the hexagram showed: Don't look for the person, you will lose him if you do.

Could it be that this time the storm has come to a halt?
Chen Ning'an was scrolling through his phone. Any comments on the Internet about those two words were blocked. Xin Qin wanted to suppress the news and let everything return to normal.

But the people from Xin Qin exceeded Chen Ning'an's expectations. Although it was indeed banned on the Internet, the various homophonic characters and unclear topics that followed were still overwhelming.

Can't be suppressed.

In a world where these two really exist, the strange things that happened to them finally have a clear explanation.

Chen Ning'an once saw more than thirty law enforcement vehicles whizzing past on the overpass in one day.

I also saw Guo Yean's hurried figure, and those neatly arranged rows of taxis were definitely not operated by drivers.

He even saw someone going crazy right next to him, shouting, "This world is fake!"

He was quickly taken away. The fog changed everything, but something seemed to remain unchanged...

In a dark room, Su Mei felt dizzy and felt piercing pain all over her body.

In her dim light, she only saw someone walking by her, saying something like a water curtain.

"Yao Wu Yu has been injected. It seems that she really doesn't know the reason at the moment."

She fainted and woke up again because of the sudden light.

All I saw coming and going were people in white coats. I was imprisoned, with my naked body plugged with densely packed instruments.

There were two people talking not far from her, but she still couldn't see clearly.

"We still can't find the cause. We have used all the advanced instruments. According to our guess, maybe only that department is correct."

"Is she going to wake up?"

"One more injection..."

When Su Mei woke up again, her body was on the verge of collapse. She was in a basement. She had taken too many drugs and was in a daze. She couldn't gather any consciousness at all.

A scarlet light floated towards her in the mist, and Su Mei squinted her eyes subconsciously trying to see clearly.

But it's fierce!

"boom!"

The wall tore apart, and something rushed in, violently breaking her shackles.

Everything returned to darkness again.

…………

[Latest news: Su Mei, a popular writer who was all the rage on the Internet some time ago, went missing yesterday. Anyone who has seen this is welcome to provide information. The authorities will offer a reward of 10,000 new Qin coins! ]

Every morning, Chen Ning'an opens his mobile phone to read the news.

He discovered that the fog had not completely changed everyone.

For example, some people who are relatively well-known on the Internet, such as musicians and writers, their names, appearances and living environments have not changed much.

This is a correction, but it is really shocking how detailed the fog can be.

Only those who are truly capable have the opportunity to be themselves...

Then he saw the news about Su Mei.

She had been missing for a long time, but the official announcement was only made now, and there was a key word.

yesterday!

In other words, Su Mei was in the hands of the authorities before, but now she has disappeared from the authorities.

"This deep water, tut tut."

The more mysteries there are, the more Chen Ning'an wants to know, but he can't do it himself.

Picking up a pen, he found a piece of paper in the house he rented for a short period of time and planned to rewrite the words he had written to Su Mei.

Just as he raised the pen, there was a knock on the door. Chen Ning'an frowned and slowly went to open the door.

No one should come to him except the landlord.

"Hello, we are from the Law Enforcement Bureau."

When he looked through the peephole, he saw two men in uniform outside, observing him through the peephole.

"Brother Fang, he's at the door."

Li Fengde, one of the Ri'an law enforcement officers outside the door, signaled: Do you want to break the door violently?

Chen Ningan knew that the other party had discovered him through the light and darkness of the cat's eye, so there was no point in hiding anymore.

Chen Ning'an simply opened the door. His previous identity was normal and there was no doubt about it.

"Hello."

Brother Fang followed the standard etiquette and said, "We came here to ask you if you know where Chen Ning'an is."

"Chen Ningan?"

He himself was Chen Ningan, but he immediately realized that the person he was talking about was not himself, but the person who impersonated him in the taxi.

Nothing about him has changed, so naturally he has nothing to do with Chen Ning'an anymore.

"I do not know."

His expression and face didn't change at all: "Excuse me, is there anything else?"

Xinqin officials have great power in enforcing the law and in some cases can enforce the law violently in the homes of those under investigation.

But generally no one does this, and everyone in Xin Qin maintains the most basic moral code.

This is also the biggest difference between Day Good and Night Good. If it was Night Good, it would have entered the sewer in the room by now.

"Then how did you get this phone?"

Li Fengde took out his cell phone and asked Chen Ningan, "I'm sorry, we have to doubt you to a certain extent."

"I found it while I was riding in a taxi."

There was absolutely no loophole in Chen Ning'an's words, which made the two Ri'an frown.

They have already checked the taxi and it seems to be true.

They observed Chen Ning'an's expression, and finally Brother Fang nodded: "Okay, thank you for the information."

The two turned around and left. Before they left the corridor, Li Fengde couldn't help but say, "He's lying!"

"I know."

Brother Fang tore a candy for himself. The rules of the day are very strict.

"But we can't get more information. This person came from Mucheng. Now the two sides are matching their information, but many of them are not connected, so we can't check their identity in detail."

"His eyes are so calm."

Brother Fang looked into the distance: "I have only seen this kind of look in two kinds of people."

"Two kinds of people?"

Li Fengde was a newcomer, and at this moment he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, can you tell me which two types of people they are?"

The two of them had returned to the roadside. Brother Fang pulled open the passenger seat and sat in, saying, "You drive and I'll tell you."

"Yes, I really want to know."

Li Fengde was driving, and Brother Fang's voice slowly sounded.

"These two types of people, one is a serial killer in a mental hospital. I've seen his eyes twice."

"The other type is people who have been euthanized. You will know when you open their eyes to check whether they are dead. Isn't there a time coming soon? You can open their eyes and take a look to gain some knowledge."

As Brother Fang finished speaking, Li Fengde couldn't help but shudder.

"Either a serial killer or a dead person, then he must be the former, Brother Fang, are we just going to leave like this?"

He had an urge to turn the car around and drive back.

"You are stupid. If he is that kind of person, we may not be able to defeat him even with guns."

Brother Fang tore open another candy to replace the cigarette. He said slowly: "We have no evidence to prove that Uncle Xiong is him. What if I am wrong?"

"There have been quite a few missing persons cases recently. We'll just have to send someone to keep an eye on him. Right now, the more important thing is to deal with another case."

"What case is more important than missing persons?" Li Fengde frowned, and saw Brother Fang open his phone.

"Do you recognize this word that was just sent to my phone?"

While waiting for the traffic light, Li Fengde turned his head and took a look, his eyes widened in shock.

There was a big word "God", and below the word was a corpse whose blood had long been drained.

"Hasn't it been banned..."

He suddenly stopped talking, realizing that he had lost his voice.

"Let's go, go back and fill out the information, and then go to the site to take a look."

Chen Ning'an didn't know what happened next. At this moment, he put down his pen and finished writing down what was in Su Mei's notebook after being interrogated by Ri'an.

But who should I show it to this time?

He held the notebook and stared at the words on it in a trance.

The other party must have a certain influence. Selling on the Internet like Su Mei did will no longer work and will be banned soon. He needs to find a way of dissemination that does not rely on the Internet.

This method cannot expose him, and requires someone who is obsessed with this aspect and has the means to see it by chance. Chen Ningan thought about the right person, but he couldn't find one for the time being.

The next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

The noise was very loud. The rental house was not solid to begin with, and it made a loud clanging sound when it was hit.

"After a good sleep, I feel even more tired."

He counted the special medicine and found that it was running low, so he needed to use a lantern.

"Who?"

He opened the door with a cold face and was surprised by the person outside.

"It's you?"

The sister who was given a new identity by the fog was now glaring at him with her big eyes.

"Where did you hide my brother? Tell me! Otherwise I will make you pay!"

Her brother has been missing for quite some time and there has been no news about him. She also secretly saw Chen Ning'an's message at the Japan Security Bureau.

Chen Ning'an glanced behind her and said expressionlessly, "I don't know who your brother is."

"I already told you, I found it on the phone."

If he continued to pester him, he would have to reveal his identity as the lantern bearer.

But if he did that, he would definitely enter Ye An's eyes again, which also meant that he would enter Ren Jing's sight again.

"You said you don't know who to believe!" The girl was about to sneak into his room: "You must have something to do with my brother. If you don't tell me, I'll go find it myself!"

But Chen Ning'an reached out to stop her and pushed her out with a little force.

He stared at the girl's brow and said coldly: "If you cause trouble again, I will push you further away next time."

Seeing this look, the girl couldn't help but feel fear, and then she became even more worried about her brother!
"Was I scared? Let me go in and see!"

She rushed in again, but Chen Ning'an used more strength, grabbed her by the collar and threw her hard.

The girl flew up directly, her pupils dilated, and she fell heavily from the corridor.

She fell and her head was bleeding, and the back of her head hit the ground hard!
"not good!"

An anxious voice came from the next floor, and Brother Fang and Li Fengde hurried up to check the situation.

She has fallen into a coma.

"Good day, this isn't illegal, is it? After all, she's breaking into a private house."

Chen Ning'an folded his hands and sneered, and found that the notebook on the table had disappeared.

He didn't move. This smile made Brother Fang's heart sink. He nodded and left with the girl on his back.

At the hospital, after a simple diagnosis, it was found that the girl had only suffered a mild concussion and was not in great danger and just needed to rest.

"Brother Fang, he's going too far!" Li Fengde lost his temper in the corridor: "No matter what, you can't be so cruel to a child who hasn't grown up yet."

"Xiao Li, you don't understand. He has been very nice to her."

Brother Fang recalled Chen Ning'an's sneer: "He already knows that we are testing him and investigating him, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold."

It's a mild concussion, but the real problem is that if no one takes care of the girl, something bad will happen sooner or later.

The man had discovered them and was following them secretly.

"I said that sting operations shouldn't be used, and the child shouldn't be allowed to see the information."

"Then you still agree?" Li Fengde said with a sense of self-blame: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have mentioned it."

His conscience was troubled.

"This is not as simple as you think."

A man came over and said to them, "I'm Shi Qinghai from the special criminal investigation team. I need your help with something."

After the girl's family arrived, the three of them returned to the Ri'an Zhongcheng Headquarters.

Shi Qinghai got straight to the point:

"We suspect that the person who kidnapped Chen Ning'an has a significant connection with the recent Shengui Erzi case."

"According to our information investigation, the girl's brother was the first person to disappear, and since then more people have disappeared."

Shi Qinghai turned on the pictures of the missing persons on the screen and said, "I have already asked other day security officers in charge of missing persons cases. Now it's your turn."

“Please provide your own opinions and information.”

Li Fengde subconsciously looked at Brother Fang. He had just been promoted to a regular employee and was not qualified to speak correctly.

Brother Fang looked at the missing person on the screen and said slowly: "This is a very new way of killing people. It connects everyone together through two words. This method is very strange."

"A group of people became words on the wall, and another group of people disappeared, which makes people have to start making associations."

"The dead have been found, which is a demonstration, but what about the missing people?"

Shi Qinghai nodded. Fang Long was indeed an old man with a very accurate vision and experience. He had already planned to set up a temporary investigation team for this incident.

Just listen to what he says next.

Fang Long continued, "I have been investigating the disappearance of Chen Ning'an for some time. The driver said that he picked up Chen Ning'an, that is, this person."

He pointed at the picture and said, "But in fact, Chen Ning'an's family and he himself denied that they were Chen Ning'an, and even said that they had never seen him, and that he had 'picked up' the phone from a taxi."

"This is unusual, and I find more suspicious points."

"After getting off the taxi, the 'Chen Ning'an' directly handed the phone to the real Chen Ning'an's sister. The taxi boarding and alighting locations were all accurate, the only thing that was inaccurate was the person."

"I suspect that the missing person had been replaced before getting on the bus. We may need the assistance of Mucheng for this matter."

Shi Qinghai shook his head and sighed: "Mucheng responded by saying that they saw him getting into the car through surveillance."

"The surveillance cameras along the way were not damaged. Chen Ningan either stopped the car on the highway and switched the bag, or he suddenly changed his appearance."

"So... the driver is lying?"

Shi Qinghai frowned: "No, he didn't lie. I have experience with the driver's demeanor. It's not fake."

He fixed his eyes on Chen Ning'an's photo: "We still have to start with this person in the end. I have a feeling that he is the key!"

Premonition? For a department that relies on evidence, a premonition would be laughed at if it were made public.

But the fact is that his premonition really helped him solve many cases.

"I have an idea."

Suddenly, Li Fengde, who had been silent, spoke up and suggested, "How about we let him go into the crime scene to take a look?"

"No matter how flawless he is, he should show some signs when facing the scene, right?"

After these words were spoken, the other two fell silent.

After a while, Fang Long said tentatively: "How about... give it a try?"

Just try it.

Three days after Chen Ning'an pushed the girl away, he suddenly received a message on his mobile phone.

That was an address, Yinque Community, Fulai Clinic.

The address given was inexplicable, but Chen Ning'an remembered that the model he asked Wang Jian to collect blood was copied from the Foley Clinic.

How come I suddenly received such a message?
He frowned, deleted the text message, and pretended he knew nothing.

But he did not stay at home. Instead, he went to the hospital to pay attention to the girl who took his notes.

He still doesn't know the girl's name, but that doesn't stop him from placing a chess piece.

Chen Ning'an wants to see what big fish is in this chess game.

Don't rush, take it one step at a time.

At the same time, he also noticed that there were more people outside his house, all of them were greeting him, and there was very little black aura on their bodies.

Ye An didn’t see any of them, nor did he encounter the Lantern Man’s forum.

As there were frequent supernatural cases in the news, he thought that maybe he should go and take a look.

After all, that doesn't seem like something ordinary people would do. Maybe you can see a few people holding lanterns.

"Wait a little longer and see how the girl is doing."

He went to the hospital as usual, and this scene was naturally seen by Fang Long.

"Report, he went to the hospital again. It seems that he is really concerned about Chen Mengran."

This is indeed an improvement. Why would someone so concerned about someone they don't even know? There can only be one conclusion: Chen Ning'an must know something, and there must be a connection.

This was one of the few clues they had.

Chen Ning'an stayed outside the girl's ward door for a while, but she didn't notice.

Chen Mengran was holding a cell phone and reading something, probably a novel, but her eyes hid confusion.

Chen Ning'an knew that she had discovered it.

Indeed, what Chen Mengran saw were the photos she took of her notes. She had also read Su Mei's novel. Looking at her notes at this time, it seemed like a condensed version of the novel.

She simplified each story into a sentence, and could even continue the general content herself based on the handwriting at the back of the notes.

The break was on Bai Shi Hong Yi, and the next one was Hong Shi Bai Yi…

She kept thinking in her mind, but judging from her expression, she didn't have any intention of spreading the information.

Chen Ning'an frowned. This was not what he wanted to see. Maybe he should think of a solution.
