Xiaoyao Xiaoyao in the mountains

After listening to Yang Xiaobao's narration, the old horse was silent for a while before he said: "Xiaobao, what do you think Shi Ran went to Tengyang City for?"

Yang Xiaobao shook his head and said: "I don't know, we can only make a conclusion after the investigation is clear."

Tengyang City is a famous coastal tourist city, and its influence is even greater than the capital city of the province where it is located.

It would take eight hours for Yang Xiaobao and the others to drive.

The two of them were companions, talking and laughing on the road, but it was not so lonely.

By the time we arrived in Tengyang City, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

"Let's find a place to live first, or call Teacher Ma's friend?" Yang Xiaobao asked after getting off the expressway.

Before coming, Ma Xiangrong contacted local friends.

They say they are friends, but they are actually colleagues.

This person is also from the Folklore Research Institute.

It was Ma Xiangrong who he contacted and asked him to help investigate, and Ma Xiangrong knew so many things happened in Tengyang.

"I think it's better to find a place to live first. At this point, people probably go home from get off work to accompany their wives." Lao Ma said.

Yang Xiaobao nodded and drove towards the city.

After entering the urban area, Lao Ma's cell phone rang.

The old horse picked it up, asked a question, and immediately said with a smile: "So it's Teacher Dai, hello, hello."

"Yes, yes, we have already arrived in Tengyang City... We just said that we are going to find a hotel."

Not knowing what the other party said, Lao Ma immediately said, "Okay, then let's go there now."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ma said to Yang Xiaobao, "It's my brother's friend."

Yang Xiaobao nodded and asked, "Mr. Dai, what did you say?"

"Let's go find him, he's already waiting for us."

"Okay, where to go?"

"Go to the guest house of their research institute."

Yang Xiaobao navigated to the guest house and went directly there.

When they arrived at the guest house and stopped in the parking lot, they saw a man in his 40s with black-rimmed glasses coming out.

"It's Yang Xiaobao and Ma Xianghui, right?" the man said, "I'm Dai Hongguang."

Lao Ma hurriedly said: "Mr. Dai, I am very glad to meet you. You can just call me Lao Ma from now on."

Yang Xiaobao also introduced himself: "Mr. Dai, hello, you can call me Xiaobao from now on."

"Okay, okay." Teacher Dai said with a smile, "Let's go in."

It turns out that the guest house of this research institute is a hotel integrating board and lodging.

They sat down at a table in the restaurant, and Teacher Dai introduced them: "Because we are a tourist city, the Institute established this guest house to make some money during the peak tourist season. Otherwise, our Institute I really can’t open the pot.”

"That's why you are a big tourist city." Lao Ma said with a smile.

Teacher Dai smiled and said, "Today I will invite you to eat seafood, and after dinner, I will open two rooms here."

Yang Xiaobao quickly said: "Forget it, we'll find a hotel outside."

Teacher Dai waved his hand and said, "Why waste that money, I have already arranged it. You will eat and live here for free. After all, you are here to help us."

Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other, then nodded and agreed.

"Little Treasure is quite young." Teacher Dai said with a smile.

Yang Xiaobao smiled, but didn't speak.

"Don't look at him as young, but he is very powerful." Lao Ma said with a smile.

Teacher Dai immediately said: "Mr. Ma told me the same way, saying that if there is anyone who can help us, it must be Yang Xiaobao."

Yang Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I'm here and do my best."

At this time, the waiter brought the food.

After all the food was served, Yang Xiaobao saw that it was really all seafood.

"We are near the sea here, seafood is cheap, and it is also a local specialty."

Teacher Dai said, and greeted Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma for dinner.

The two of them drove all the way to Tengyang, and they didn't eat much, so they devoured their food.

After eating for a while, Yang Xiaobao asked: "Mr. Dai, can you tell us about the situation?"

Teacher Dai nodded and said, "Since two weeks ago, six or seven people have died inexplicably here, and we can't find any clues."

"Not a natural death?"

"No, it would be fine if it was a natural death." Teacher Dai said, "The deaths of these people have a common feature."

Yang Xiaobao snorted, and asked curiously: "What common features?"

Teacher Dai sighed, turned on the phone, called up a photo, and handed it to Yang Xiaobao.

Yang Xiaobao took a look at the phone and took a deep breath.

He handed the phone to Lao Ma, and after reading it, Lao Ma's expression changed.

"Is it the same for the rest of the people?" the old horse asked.

"It's all in the back, you can look through it."

Lao Ma and Yang Xiaobao looked at the photos at the back, and they all looked the same.

These people are male and female.

Men and women are distinguished by their hairstyles and clothes.

If you look at it from the appearance, you can't tell the difference at all.

Because these people are all skinny, without a little flesh on their cheeks.

Judging from their empty clothes, it is estimated that there is no flesh in other parts of the body.

"These people seem to have been sucked dry by something."

Yang Xiaobao frowned and asked, "Are there any wounds on these people?" Yang Xiaobao asked.

Teacher Dai shook his head: "No, there are no wounds."

Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other.

"Then, do these dead people have anything to do with it?"

"No, there is no connection between them at all." Teacher Dai said.

"That's strange." Ma said, "Under normal circumstances, if it was done by a single person or a sneaky person, there must be some kind of relationship between the dead."

Teacher Dai sighed, and said: "The police have already investigated and studied, and there is no intersection between them at all."

He continued: "It looks like they were chosen at random."

"Then how did they die?"

"Some people fell to the ground and died suddenly while walking on the road, and some died while lying at home sleeping. It's different anyway."

Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other again.

"Is there surveillance video?"

"Some have, some don't." Teacher Dai said, "But I didn't see anything."

Yang Xiaobao said: "The surveillance video can't capture those sneaky things."

"Yes, that's why the police asked our research institute to investigate."

Lao Ma smiled at this time and said, "Mr. Dai, you didn't ask us to investigate, but to help you catch ghosts."

Teacher Dai also smiled and said, "Otherwise, Teacher Ma wouldn't let you come over."

"Can we watch the surveillance video?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
