Dean realized that someone was secretly erasing the fact that people frequently disappeared here.

   But the town is not big.

  He doesn't trust the people here, he doesn't know anything about it.

   "First find a way to find a local resident and understand the situation"

  For example, the phone number on the business card given by the bartender!

  Although Dean is sure that the person on the other end of the phone is a liar, but since the other party cooperates with the bartender to defraud outsiders who are looking for people, he may know something about the disappearance of tourists.

  Think here.

  Dean glanced around and saw that there was no suspicious person watching the guard nearby, and then walked towards the hotel again.

  Back to the hotel.

  Cheston has also woken up.

  He is enjoying the free breakfast buffet at the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

"How is the taste?"

  Dean went to sit down opposite Cheston.

   See it's Dean.

  Cheston quickly swallowed the food in his mouth: "It's okay, but Agent Dean, there is something very strange. When I got up, I found the hotel attendant was cleaning the room opposite us, and there was a salute inside."

   Dean raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

  This kind of thing usually only happens to passengers who have not renewed their room fees for a long time.

   Could it be that the person in the room opposite them is missing?

   "I also found something."

  Dean lowered his voice, and told Cheston about his findings and conjectures.

   After listening to Dean's narration, Cheston's eyes widened: "Agent Dean, are you saying that the people here are deliberately hiding the disappearance of tourists?"

  Dean nodded: "It is not sure whether the local police station, the government or the local people are involved, but if we want to find out the truth hidden inside, I am afraid we will not be able to use the local official power this time."

   After eating breakfast.

  Dean and Cheston split into two groups.

  Cheston is responsible for finding the waiter and asking about the situation of the tourists in the opposite room.

  Dean is responsible for contacting the bartender to provide the phone number on the business card.

  Although the business card has been lost.

   But he remembered the number.

  The two agreed to exchange text messages every half an hour to report their respective locations, so as to avoid the situation where one party loses contact and the other party does not know anything.

  Cheston, take the first step.

  He approached the waiter in charge of house cleaning on the grounds that he was looking for a local guide.

  See it.

  Dean also came to the corner of the hotel and called the suspected scammer.

  First call.

  There is no connection there.

   Wait a moment.

   Dean makes the second call.

   This time the call was finally connected.

  On the other end of the phone, a drunk woman's voice came: "Hello, this is."

   Pause for a moment.

  The other side continued: "This is Admar Rescue, how can I help you?"

   Dean: "."

  The woman on the other end of the phone paused, could it be to see the name of the rescue team?

  So unprofessional, is there really a fool who would be fooled?

Dean rolled his eyes and said in a hesitant tone: "Hi, it's like this, my relatives disappeared nearby, the bartender at XX bar gave you your contact information, saying that you can help, you really can help me?"

   "Of course, Admar Rescue is a professional team, if you need help, you can come."

   After the drunk woman reported an address, she hung up the phone.

   After getting the address, Dean greeted Cheston, dressed in casual clothes, and left the hotel.

   In order to prevent others from being searched.

  He also stowed the gun into the Warp.

Now he has a subspace, not only can he transform into a gun empty-handed, the subspace also contains several activated bullets, ignited Molotov cocktails, exploding tear gas, etc., and there is also a beast-like early warning of danger, as long as he is not caught Multiple heavy firepower long-range suppression, general danger, basically can't threaten him.

the other side.

A woman put down the phone, flicked the cigarette ash in her hand, and smiled behind her: "Stefan, Wade, get ready, another big fat pig is coming, remember, this time it's Admar Rescue, rescue! Don't step on the horse and hang the wrong sign again!"

   This voice is exactly the woman who answered Dean's call just now, but the drunken gesture on the phone is missing.

  That's just a means to select fat pigs.

  If the person seeking help dares to come to ask for help in the face of such an unprofessional appearance of a woman, he is either stupid, or desperate and desperate, no matter what it is, it is very suitable to start!

   If the other party doesn't come, that's okay.

  As long as the other party makes this call, it means that the other party has this demand.

  For this kind of people.

  After the trial, they have a follow-up!

  Unfortunately, this group of people don't know that sometimes, those who fall into the trap are not necessarily fat pigs who are being slaughtered, but also man-eating tigers who are scheming!

  The small town was originally not big.

   According to address.

  Dean drove to a grove outside the town. By the stream outside the grove, he saw a small Dutch windmill workshop. The workshop was close to the path, and there was a crooked sign hanging on it.

  The name of the Admar Rescue Team is on the sign.

but

  Dean twitched the corner of his mouth.

  The soil under the sign is all new.

  The other party looks down on my IQ so much?

  It probably took less than ten minutes to insert this brand

   It's hard!

   Dean's fist is hard!

  He parked the car outside the trail, got out of the car, drank a cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and called the other party.

   This time it was connected quickly.

   After Dean said he was here.

  A bearded white guy in his twenties opened the door of the mill and waved to Dean.

   "Dean?"

  The white guy enthusiastically welcomed Dean into this dilapidated mill.

  Dean frowned while looking at the environment: "Yes, but are you sure you can help me? This doesn't look like a very good workplace."

  It looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time. Not only is the smell of rotting wood in the air, but also a faint smell of animal excrement, which makes people suspect that this place was actually used to raise poultry.

  The guy shrugged and said a thought-provoking sentence: "Because this place is dilapidated and inconspicuous enough, we can become the light in the darkness instead of being swallowed by the darkness!"

   Finished speaking.

  He beckoned to Dean, beckoning Dean to follow him upstairs.

   crunch~

  The decayed wooden stairs make people worry that stepping on them will cause collapse.

  Dean is muscular and looks well-proportioned. In fact, his weight has risen to two hundred and twenty kilograms. Stepping on the wooden steps, he obviously felt the stairs sinking downwards, and he was a little overwhelmed.

  But the bad thing didn't happen.

  Dean followed the white young man Wade and went up to the second floor smoothly.

It's as simple as here, but it seems to have been renovated. There is a row of computers near the window. A man and a woman are concentrating on typing on the keyboard. There are sofas and coffee tables near the wall, and there are a few foldables in the corner. It seems that the two men and one woman usually sleep in this narrow and simple room.

   "Jenny, Stefan, let go of your work, the client is here."

   Wade slapped his hands and interrupted the work of the two companions.

  Jenny and Stefan don't look very old.

   Wade seems to be the boss here.

  Under his organization, the four sat on the sofa around the coffee table.

  Wade poured a glass of water for Dean: "Okay, Mr. Dean, you can talk about your situation."

  Under the watchful eyes of the three, Dean picked up the water glass, took a sip, and began to narrate.

   Probably his younger brother Thompson, who traveled with his companions, lost contact with them shortly after entering the mountains.

   "Mr. Dean, you mean, the missing person is your brother and your brother's companion, two people?"

  After listening to Dean's narration, the three of Wade looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"Is there anything wrong?"

  Dean raised his head slightly, his face full of sincerity, but he didn't know where he was showing his flaws.

   "It's not wrong, it's just."

  Wade waved to Jenny beside him.

  Jenny stood up, took out a thick notebook from a pile of messy lines, and placed it in front of Dean.

  Dean looked at it, slightly surprised in his heart.

  On the notebook, there is an internal website page of the local town police station!

  What's the situation?

  Are these three guys not liars?

Wade stood up slowly and explained: "Mr. Dean, after receiving your call, we entered the pages of the police stations in several nearby towns and searched for the latest missing persons. It showed that the latest In March, only a couple disappeared in our small town, and the person who reported the case was the front desk of XX Hotel, and the time of report was yesterday, do you seem to be lying?"

   During the conversation.

  Another young man, Stefan, who has not spoken, has already touched his waist and looked at Dean with unfriendly eyes.

  Dean turned a blind eye to Stefan's threatening behavior.

  He tilted his head: "So, you are not actually scammers?"

   This strange reaction caused Wade to feel uneasy.

   He lunged at Dean, shouting, "Stefan, do it!"

next moment.

  A slender palm, coming first, grabbed his collar with precision.

  Wade felt an irresistible force acting on his body in mid-air, his vision was spinning, and then Jenny's exclamation and Stefan's screams poured into his ears

   Holding Wade, he knocked over Stefan who was about to draw his gun.

  Dean got up slowly, walked up to the screaming Jenny, pinched her mouth, and whispered in her ear: "Shh, be quiet!"

  Jenny wanted to run away, but being watched by Dean, she didn't know why, her legs didn't work at all, she could only nod her head tremblingly, and said in a crying voice, "What exactly do you want?"

   Three men and women with their hands tied kneeling in a row.

  Dean played with the stun gun drawn from Stefan's waist, pondered for a moment, and raised his head: "So, you are really doing business, but you are hiding here because of danger?"

"Yes!" Wade said dejectedly, "We basically do some illegal business online, so we moved our office to this abandoned barn. As for finding people locally, it's just to help tourists here and make some quick money by the way. money."

   "Tell me about the missing cases nearby!"

  Dean was noncommittal about Wade's statement.

   "Can you let us go if you say so?"

  The three looked at Dean pitifully.

  Dean waved the stun gun in his hand: "Of course, after all, I'm a good man. I didn't even bring a gun when I came to you. In fact, if you didn't attack me first, I wouldn't do it at all."

   The three of them thought about it carefully.

   There seems to be nothing wrong with these words.

  Wade admitted his fate:

   "Well, actually, since a few years ago, there have been frequent disappearances of tourists in the nearby town.

  In the beginning, the small towns spent a lot of manpower to search, but it was useless. The missing persons seemed to have evaporated, and various rumors appeared, which affected the business of the small town.

   This made those residents who rely on tourists to make money have opinions. Slowly, with everyone's acquiescence, residents began to conceal this kind of thing spontaneously. "

   "Families of the missing person, won't they come over?

  Tourists who know these things, won’t they spread the word? "

   Wade's statement is untenable.

  Unexpectedly, Wade mocked:

"That's true, but none of the missing people called for help and called the police before they disappeared. There is no record, and the families of the missing people can't blame the police station. With the tacit understanding of the key local people, what can those people do? ?

  At best, they would make a police report at the police station, and after a period of time with no results, they had no choice but to leave.

   There are also special people in the town to erase the missing person notices and online posts posted by those people, so in the past few years, only the locals know that there is an unknown existence hidden in the mountains! "

  It turned out to be like this.

  Wade and the others have hacking methods and often hack into the webpage of the nearby police station. What they say has a high degree of credibility.

  Dean was thoughtful, and then showed the same mocking look: "Then you said before that you were in the business of finding people to help those poor tourists?"

  Wade's face froze.

   On the other hand, Jenny looked up angrily and said, "At least we will really help search for relevant information and give their families some psychological comfort so that they don't waste time here.

   You should know that many missing people did not report to the police or call for help before they disappeared. Basically, they did not know that the person was missing until the relatives of the missing person came to find them, or the hotel found that the person was missing.

  Thus, when the family members of the missing persons came to find them, they didn’t know anything. People who had never experienced that kind of psychological torture couldn’t imagine it at all.

  If they make noise in the small town, their lives may be in danger.

  We charge some fees, what's wrong? "

  Dean sneered coldly: "It's so nice to say, but in fact, your existence should be for acting to dissuade those who are looking for people, and by the way, help eliminate bad comments about the surrounding towns on the Internet!"

  When he checked the online comments nearby, he felt strange.

   After all, normal people, if a relative or friend goes missing here, apart from posting a missing person notice in reality and asking the police for help, it is inevitable that they will also seek help on the Internet and in some chat rooms for traveling with friends.

   The result is no information at all.

   This shows that there are dedicated people processing this information.

  The three people in front of them know how to hack. It should be this Jenny who answered the phone before, deliberately pretending to be drunk and unprofessional.

   Now it seems that it is also to screen customers, let customers take the initiative to deliver them to their door, act and squeeze out money, and brainwash them by the way, so that they do not have enough energy and money to find the missing person!

   Sure enough.

   After Dean finished speaking.

   Two men and one woman bowed their heads silently.

   Obviously, they were hit by Dean!

   However, Dean is not interested in their behavior.

He threw the stun gun in his hand on the coffee table, and asked the last question: "Since you are in charge of this business, you should know something about the missing. I need some useful information. Ten years of vitality will be spent in prison!"

   said.

  Dean took out his detective card and revealed his identity.

   Losing freedom is undoubtedly a big threat to these three young people who are only in their twenties and have not enjoyed enough.

Wade looked at the detective card in Dean's hand, his face pale: "We really don't know why those people disappeared. We only know that they lost contact after entering the mountains. Really, there are The list and information of the missing persons we found, I swear, we did not lie to you!"

  According to the confessions of the three people.

  Dean quickly got a list of missing persons with more than 270 people!

  This number is far scarier than what the FBI found!

  The FBI only found out that over the past few years, more than 50 people have disappeared nearby.

   However, there are more than 270 people registered in several nearby towns.

   And these are only records that can be found.

  In the United States, many people live relatively alone!

  The number of unrecorded missing persons is probably much, much more than this number

  Seeing that there is really no way to squeeze out more information.

  Dean took the list and thought about how to deal with these three unlucky ones.

  These three people only had a stun gun for self-defense, and their speech and behavior did not have the malice unique to murderers. At most, they did something wrong, and they would not die.

  But if you let them go, it is easy to expose your own existence.

By the time.

   What unwise actions the police station and residents in the surrounding towns will make is something Dean doesn't want to think about.

   In the face of collective interests, the so-called law is bullshit.

   I'm afraid this is the most troublesome part of this case!

  Just as Dean was struggling.

  嗡~

   His pocket phone vibrates.

  Dean took it out and saw that it was a text message from Cheston.

  There is only a short sentence on it: "Help!"

  There are not so many real cases and actual missing people. This story is over, and the adapted movie is attached.
