This is a typical simple residential building renovated during the Monster War.

In order to cram as many people in as possible, each unit is divided into extremely small units, but the walls are extremely thick.

Many exterior walls have mezzanines where steel plates can be put down at any time to seal the windows.

As a result, indoor lighting and ventilation are very poor, making it more like a bunker than a residence.

Meng Chao only took a few steps and had a panoramic view of every room and hall.

The room was very clean, with almost no extra furnishings except for a camp bed and a folding table for eating and working.

The kitchen is covered with a thick layer of grease that has been accumulated over more than ten years, but there are no signs of recent fires.

There are only three to five piles of newspapers piled up in the corner, and newspaper clippings in progress placed messily on the table, indicating that the "tailless monkey" once lived here.

Meng Chao flipped through the half-cut newspaper on the table.

I found that the latest issue was yesterday's evening newspaper, which should have been released yesterday afternoon.

Although Longcheng’s information technology is very developed.

However, due to the strong spiritual magnetic interference from other worlds, monsters often eat cables and network cables.

It is definitely not possible to rely solely on the network to transmit information.

During the monster war, in order to allow the frontline soldiers and citizens to receive each other's messages when the psychic interference is the strongest and the monster's offensive is the craziest.

Many newspaper offices have sprung up in Longcheng, printing newspapers, periodicals and leaflets 24 hours a day and night.

Many Longcheng citizens have the habit of reading physical newspapers.

Even after the war was won, this habit did not change.

It is a common practice for brokers like Koala to use newspaper clippings to collect information and analyze intelligence.

Meng Chao asked Ailei and confirmed that tailless monkeys do have the habit of cutting newspapers.

If this clipping was not deliberately forged by someone, the tailless monkey was still here until last night.

"Last night, there was no big explosion in the Hongxigou project.

"This morning, Gao Chuang's men came here and found that the tailless monkey had disappeared.

"Who on earth reacted so quickly and accurately targeted and captured the tailless monkey almost at the same time as the explosion in Hongxigou?"

Meng Chao continued to search.

Soon an unexpected discovery was made.

When he opened the greasy cabinet door in the kitchen, he found a secret passage behind it.

To be more precise, it is a partition.

Remove the partition and you will reach Room 317 next door.

It is different from the empty 316.

317 is like a big warehouse.

Piles of drinking water and canned meat.

Meng Chao saw several boxes of canned synthetic monster flesh and blood produced by Chaoxing Group.

With these supplies, even if the tailless monkeys cannot leave home for three to five months, they will not starve to death.

This is the method of the cunning rabbit's three caves.

It seems that the tailless monkey has a very clear understanding of its situation.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't escape the murderous hand.

Meng Chao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, there were several slowly rotating haloes deep in his eyes.

He has elevated his extraordinary vision to the extreme.

Don't miss the smallest clue.

Soon, a large amount of sparkling evidence emerged from Meng Chao's vision in the two seemingly clean small apartments.

The first is the trace of a lot of grease wipes.

Humans secrete sweat and oil all the time.

No matter what you come into contact with, these sweat and oils will leave tiny traces on the surface of the object.

These traces that cannot be recognized by the naked eye are not even fingerprints.

However, powerful people in the divine realm or the most professional trace surveyors, using genetic testing tools, can use them to firmly locate a disappeared person.

Meng Chao found a lot of traces of grease in 317.

Especially on the boxes of canned monster meat.

It seems that the tailless monkeys spent a lot of effort carrying these boxes.

As a result, the sweat and oil secreted on the fingers increased, leaving dozens of very light fingerprints on the box.

Following the traces of grease, Meng Chao returned to 316.

Here, he found more traces of human activities.

Meng Chao lay on the ground, put the tip of his nose to a mark, and took a deep breath.

Physical fitness varies from person to person.

Past experiences are also different.

Their oily smell is as unique as a fingerprint, clearly revealing the owner's identity.

"There is a faint smell of glue and ink on the tailless monkey's grease marks, indicating that he often uses his pen and often uses glue to make newspaper clippings.

"Moreover, his grease marks were very deep, and fingerprints were formed in many places.

"This shows that he is not worried about leaving evidence, at least not worried about law enforcement agencies coming to his door.

"But these lighter and lighter traces of grease contain a hint of mithril stabilizer.

"Mithril Stabilizer is a very common storage medium for monster materials. It is used in huge amounts in places like the reaper circle and the underground black market, and it will inevitably be contaminated by practitioners.

"This shows that Gao Chuang did not lie, and his people have indeed been here.

"So, did Gao Chuang's men capture the tailless monkey?"

Putting aside the argument that Gao Chuang died without proof, Meng Chao didn't think so either.

He asked Ailei that although the tailless monkey is not a powerful character, it is more vigilant than many monsters in the deep jungle.

Since the tailless monkey is already prepared to hide in three burrows, it will not be easily caught.

Even if he is caught, he will always struggle a few times.

Gao Chuang's subordinates, Meng Chao, also met him.

Although his skills are pretty good, it is still not easy to capture the tailless monkey quietly.

If there is a conflict between the two parties.

It should leave more and stronger traces of oil and sweat secretion indoors.

But now, Meng Chao has not found any similar traces, as well as scratches and collisions caused by fierce fighting.

This shows that the tailless monkey was captured by a more powerful character.

When captured, there was little room for resistance.

With such suspicion, Meng Chao continued to search.

Don't miss every nook and cranny, every hair and every mark.

Soon, he found 357 hairs, 66 very fresh scratch marks, and three impact marks invisible to the naked eye from the seemingly empty room.

"Of the 357 hairs, 332 are very fine and have withered and split.

"The master's strength is probably not very strong, and his nutrition has not kept up.

“The discovery locations were mainly on the camp bed and behind the toilet.

"They are all tailless monkey hair.

"There are still twenty-one hairs, which are obviously thick and flexible. Although they have been shed from the human body, they still maintain a certain degree of cell activity.

"These should have been dropped off by Gao Chuang's men when they searched this place in the morning.

"There are also four hairs, which is very interesting.

"Three of them are more lustrous and flexible than Gao Chuang's hands, and their cell activity is also stronger. They should come from masters with a higher level.

"If I guess correctly, the owner of at least one of the three hairs is a powerful person in the heaven realm.

“As for the last slightly reddish hair, it’s not even human hair or fine hair, but the hair of the hell beast ‘Dreadclaw Tiger’!

"The Dreadclaw tiger is huge in size and has a ferocious temperament. It roars and can be heard even three to five streets away, so it is naturally impossible to bring it here.

"So, those who came here earlier than Gao Chuang's men and captured the tailless monkeys often dealt with the Deinonychus tiger, so that their bodies were stained with the hair of the Deinonychus tiger?

"That's weird.

"With the victory of the Monster War, many wild monsters have disappeared.

"As far as I know, the Dreadclaw tiger is one of the most unruly wild monsters that is difficult to raise and breed in captivity.

"What kind of person has the opportunity to still come into contact with the Dreadclaw Tiger on a daily basis more than a year after the victory in the Monster War?"

With this thought in mind, Meng Chao returned to the kitchen and lay down on the floor.

Ai Lei said in surprise: "Senior, what are you doing?"

"I'm thinking."

Meng Chao stared at the dazzling incandescent lights on the ceiling and said thoughtfully, "When the tailless monkey was captured, he should have been lying on the ground like this. Maybe he wanted to get into 317 to get the can, or maybe he found someone sneaking in and wanted to escape.

Go to 317.

"I wanted to keep the same posture and recreate the situation."

"How do you know?"

Ailei was stunned for a moment, "I see you have collected a lot of hair just now, and you also found some scratches and impacts, but they are not in the kitchen!"

"It's just because there aren't many hairs and traces left in the kitchen that it looks particularly weird."

Meng Chao said, "Judging from the date of the newspaper clipping, as well as the production date and consumption of the cans, the tailless monkey should have lived here for several days, and the kitchen is the only way for him to go between 316 and 317, so

, he should have left a lot of hair and traces here.

"But now, there are too few hairs, fingerprints, footprints and scratches in the kitchen.

“The thickness of the sludge on the floor and the thickness of the sludge on the stove are also obviously out of proportion.

"This is enough to show that someone tried to hide it by cleaning and disguising the kitchen.

"So, this is the first scene where the other party captured the tailless monkey!"

Meng Chao closed his eyes.

A virtual "Room 316" suddenly emerged from my mind.

Based on the existing evidence, he could easily reconstruct the scene where Gao Chuang's men came here and carefully rummaged through the boxes to search for tailless monkeys.

But it is difficult to restore the real captor and the whole process of taking away the tailless monkey.

The other party is very professional.

Although some scratches and impact marks were inevitably left behind, they were not very directional and were considered invalid evidence. They were even left deliberately to interfere with the investigators' sight.

The truth remains shrouded in mystery.

"But, it's not right!"

Just when Meng Chao couldn't find any ideas for his investigation, Ai Lei suddenly whispered.

Meng Chao opened his eyes suddenly: "What did you say?"

Ai Lei was startled by him: "No, it's nothing. Maybe I heard something wrong."

"What went wrong?"

Meng Chao calmed down his momentum and lowered his voice, "It's okay. No matter what the problem is, just tell me and listen."

"It's not a big problem. It's just that you just said that the tailless monkeys were like this. They were lying here and were captured."

Ailei said, "But your current posture is not 'lying down', but 'lying down'!
Chapter completed!
