Chapter 66: Underground Ice Storage
In the entire apartment building, there are very few people who have the ability to tamper with the memories of other neighbors. The mysterious building manager should be one of them, so Han Fei's suspicion is reasonable .
After playing the game for a few days, Han Fei now divides the residents in the building into two categories: one is those who can communicate, and the other is those who are completely occupied by despair and pain.
These two types of neighbors live in the same apartment, and there is some kind of connection between them. Han Fei has not yet fully figured out the specific situation. He thinks all the secrets should be hidden in the building manager's room.
"The tenth floor. We must go to the tenth floor as soon as possible."
After Meng Shi's condition stabilized, Han Fei, exhausted, left room 1031.
He returned to the haunted house 1044 and closed the security door.
"I have a good relationship with Meng Shi on the third floor, and I am currently trying to find a partner with the girl on the fifth floor. Crying has also had a certain impact on me. Now, as long as my roommates regain their sanity, I can say that I have preliminarily achieved the goal of building harmonious neighborhoods. "
After playing the game for such a long time, Han Fei's mentality gradually changed.
He initially investigated the case in order to save his life, but as he got to know the case more and more, Han Fei really wanted to find out the truth and avenge his neighbors.
"It's time to go. I've been in this game for so long that I feel like this world is real."
After pressing the exit button, the world was covered with blood, and Han Fei's consciousness gradually became blurred.
Taking off his gaming helmet, Han Fei lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Compared with physical fatigue, he is now more mentally exhausted.
"I'm not considering being an actor for now. My savings are enough for me to live on for a while." Han Fei opened his mobile bank account. "I have two ways to make money now. One is to wait until the official public beta of the game "Perfect Life" and make money from the game. However, I don't think these underworld specialties of mine can be transported to the normal game world. Another way to make money is to rely on the bounty for solving cases."
Glancing at the photo of Meng Changan, Han Fei seemed to see 50,000 yuan posted on the wall.
"We all make money based on our own abilities, it's not a shabby thing."
This time, Han Fei got a key clue in the game - Donghua Ice Factory. The most painful place in Meng Shi's memory was the ice factory. This was different from the information Han Fei had obtained before. He planned to go and take a look in person after waking up.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, Han Fei was awakened by the alarm clock. He ate something casually, took out his mobile phone and called Li Xue.
"Do you have time now? Can you accompany me to a place?" Although Han Fei has never participated in solving a case, he has seen many similar movies. After the protagonist gets the clues, he goes directly to investigate and finally puts himself in a desperate situation. He will never let such a thing happen to him.
"Where are you going?"
"In the case of the body hidden in the refrigerator, the refrigerated container was probably not the first scene of death. The bodies of Meng Shi and Chen Chen had been moved before."
"We already know that."
"Then do you know where the first death scene is?"
“It’s not certain yet.”
"I'll take you there."
It didn't take Han Fei long to convince Li Xue. An hour later, Li Xue took Han Fei to the northern suburbs of Xinhu on a motorcycle.
The entire Xinhu covers a very large area. The richest people and most of the middle class live in the core smart city. Outside the smart city is the old city area, which is a mixed bag and was actually very chaotic before the establishment of the citizen information system.
In addition to the smart city and the old city, Xinhu also has four suburbs in the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
With the development of science and technology, a large number of suburban population have flowed into the urban area, and the remote suburbs of Xinhu have become increasingly desolate, with large areas of unfinished buildings and abandoned factories remaining there.
The Donghua Ice Factory that Han Fei was looking for was located in the northern suburbs of Xinhu. It was a very small ice factory. It had chosen to build the factory in the suburbs mainly because the electricity was cheap, the water supply was sufficient, and there were not many residents around, so there was no need to worry about disturbing others.
Leaving the main road, Han Fei and Li Xue walked through a large area of unfinished buildings. It was clearly daytime, but there was no one around.
After walking for another ten minutes, Han Fei finally saw the sign of the ice factory at the end of a small path.
The paint on the sign was badly peeling and the writing was patchy.
“It feels like this ice factory has been closed for a long time.”
The roads leading in and out of the ice factory were full of cracks, with grass growing in the gaps.
"Even if this is the victim's first death scene, what can we find out after ten years?" Li Xue was very excited when she first heard the news, but she calmed down on the way: "Han Fei, how did you know this was the first death scene?"
"I guessed it." Han Fei said casually. He looked at the two-meter-high concrete wall. After a run-up, he jumped high and climbed over the wall. "My physical fitness has indeed improved a lot. I had a hard time climbing a tree before."
"Don't rush forward alone, and don't stay too far away from me, understand?" Li Xue jumped in at some point. She was obviously more experienced than Han Fei, and her movements were very light, making almost no noise.
"No problem." Both of them lowered their voices and walked along the corner into the factory.
After entering the ice factory, the two deliberately reduced communication, spoke as little as possible, and focused all their attention on searching for clues.
The Donghua Ice Factory is not big. Two severely rusted ice brick machines and ice crushers are placed in the yard, and the simple sheds built around them have collapsed.
"Go inside the factory and take a look."
The two of them walked into the dim factory, one on the left and one on the right. The temperature here seemed to be lower than outside.
The time span was too long and there was no gain in the factory. While Han Fei was thinking about whether he had missed something, Li Xue was walking around the house alone.
"What are you doing?"
"The ice factory must have an ice storage or ice cellar to store ice, but we didn't see any place to store ice after we entered here." Li Xue stopped when she walked to the northeast corner of the factory. She lifted the torn straw mat on the ground, revealing a very thin steel plate underneath.
"Let me help you." Han Fei walked over to help, but Li Xue suddenly raised her arm, signaling Han Fei not to come over.
She walked around the steel plate, turned on the body camera, and then took out the baton from her waist.
At this time, Han Fei also discovered something unusual. The edge of the steel plate was not covered with a straw mat, but there was no dust there, as if it had been opened recently.
"Is there anyone in the underground ice cellar?"
Li Xue gestured to Han Fei, asking him to pick up something to defend himself, then she grabbed one side of the steel plate with one hand and gently opened it.
Under the steel plate, the sound of wind can be heard in the dark ice cave, and this ice storage seems to be connected to other places.
Taking out his cell phone, Li Xue told his colleague a series of location numbers, then turned on the lighting function of his cell phone and entered the underground ice storage alone.
