Deep in the Living

Chapter 100 Disguise
The fried dough sticks that were about to be put into the mouth were soaked back into the soy milk.

Luo Di immediately raised his bracelet, logged into the internal website of the Investigation Bureau, retrieved all the missing persons who were suspected to be related to this case, put their information on the same page and started the investigation.

He had read this information no less than three times yesterday, and the seemingly unrelated information was gradually connected at this moment.

These materials basically do not mention how these people travel, or in the eyes of previous investigators, this most common way of travel is not worthy of attention. After all, the key issue lies in a non-existent nursing home.

Among all the missing persons' information, only three people clearly stated that they would choose to travel by bus on a daily basis.

It now appears that about 80% of the missing persons come from lower-middle class families, otherwise it would be difficult to link them to nursing homes.

These families probably do not have private cars, and rarely choose to travel by online ride-hailing services, which are relatively expensive. Since their homes, companies, and nursing homes are all quite far apart, these people probably travel by bus.

This is also the way Luo Di traveled since he was a child.

After all, this newly built country, which gathered human and material resources from all over the world, is also very advanced in urban planning. Buses are very efficient, convenient and affordable.

The bus is the "common ground".
Perhaps if you want to reach that "non-existent nursing home", a very important prerequisite is to "take the bus".

But there is still a problem.
They were out and about all day yesterday, including taking the bus to the nursing home several times, but they didn't encounter any problems.

But Luo Di still wanted to give it a try, so today he focused all his attention on the matter of "taking the bus to the nursing home". If it still didn't work, he would give up completely.

Now that the investigation direction has been clarified and is different from yesterday, action has begun.

Luo Di immediately sent a message to Yu Ze who was staying at the Crystal Hotel, and the team quickly assembled.

Yu Ze was still the same as yesterday, looking very relaxed and not like he was here to investigate a case.

But as Rody talked about the "common points" he discovered this morning and the direction of today's investigation, something like ink seemed to flash across Yu Ze's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses.

My whole attitude has become a little more positive.

"Wait a moment, take this with you before you start investigating."

Yu Ze took out two yellow talismans folded into a triangle from his pocket.

"This is?"

"I made this amulet for you last night when I was bored in the hotel. After all, you are temporary teammates, so I'll give you a greeting gift. An extra amulet to keep you safe."

Luo Di didn't feel anything when he took the talisman. It felt like a piece of ordinary talisman paper. But the talisman itself was very delicate. It was obvious that Yu Ze made it with great care. He nodded in thanks and accepted it.

Anna did the same, carefully keeping the amulet.

The team arrived at the bus stop, ready to go to a nursing home five stops away.

In order to avoid being separated, the three of them sat together, trying to put the investigation behind them as much as possible and only retaining the idea of ​​going to the nursing home.

When we arrived at the station, there was still nothing unusual.

Anna said, "Roddy, we took the bus this way yesterday.

Even if 'taking the bus' is indeed a common denominator among the missing, we ourselves don't seem to have changed much...perhaps the only thing that has changed is that we don't look up information on the bus anymore.

Is this really okay? "

However, Luo Di insisted on his idea. After all, this was the only direction of investigation he could think of, and this time he was prepared to take certain risks.

"Try it again, and this time we do it separately.

I will be walking alone in front. You should keep at least 500 meters away from me and avoid any contact with me before you take the next bus.

These missing people have one thing in common, as you know very well, Anna: they are all the same person.

The other party must be a very cautious fake person. He only catches one fish each time he casts the hook, and never catches more than one. This may be one of the reasons for the detention incident. "

Anna was very worried about such a proposal. "It's too dangerous to be alone! What if you are really involved in the nursing home and fall into the other party's territory?"

The arrangements made by the Investigation Bureau require us to maintain the integrity of the team throughout the process and never be left alone, with this in mind.

If that's the case, I'd recommend changing the mission."

Rody did not argue with Anna, but cast his eyes on another person in the team, "It's okay, as long as this guy is here, even if I disappear in public, he will definitely sense my location."

Following Luo Di's gaze, Anna also turned her head to look behind her, looking at Yu Ze who was reading a novel on the side of the road and laughing from time to time.

The labels "Capital Investigation Bureau" and "Special Operations Group" also appeared in Anna's mind.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Anna came to Yu Ze who was reading a novel and briefly explained the situation. However, the latter did not move his eyes away from the words and just nodded perfunctorily.

Only after Rody walked about 500 meters away did the two of them slowly catch up.

……

Rody walked alone through the city streets, clearing his mind as much as possible.

He came to a bus stop two blocks away, sat down on a metal bench near the edge, and waited quietly.

While waiting, he still felt something was wrong.

Although he had tried his best to empty his mind, put aside his identity as an investigator, and just thought about applying for a job at the nursing home, he always felt that something was wrong.

The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, and even felt an inexplicable heat.
at this time,

Sa!
The backpack behind him moved again, and the touch of the hair was transmitted through the gap between the backpack and the clothes.

Strands of familiar, cold hair floated slightly on the back.

It was as if there were two people sitting on this metal bench, and the other person was leaning quietly on Rody's back.

The restlessness in Luo Di's body was instantly dispelled. He seemed to remember something. Wasn't what he was doing just "disguising"? Among all the people he had come into contact with since childhood, Wu Wen was the best at disguising.

Wu Wen's disguise is much stronger than other fake people, not even at the same level, and the word "class leader" is completely engraved in everyone's mind. Even the person who is reading this (wrong text).

"Isn't my disguise good enough?
I just put the matter of going to the nursing home at the forefront, and the essence of it is still mainly based on investigation.

I had to put myself in the role completely like the squad leader and think about what the missing people felt when they took the bus for the last time.

The economy is bad or even poor. In addition to the troublesome work every day, they also need to go to the nursing home to do things, or they are already doing boring work in the nursing home.

Yes, even if the elderly live a good life with the support of national welfare, the situation may be different for ordinary people who are burdened with the pressure of life and have to go to nursing homes to face the elderly.

The emotion of boredom?
I feel sick at the thought of going to a nursing home, but I have to go...'

Luo Di's heart gradually sank. He glanced at the crowd who were also waiting for the bus and fixed his eyes on a middle-aged man with an expression of annoyance.
Try to bring up the thought of a nursing home, empathize with this person, and register the same feeling of boredom in your mind.

“Why do you want to go to a nursing home?”

"Why am I in such a mess that I can only find a job in a nursing home?"

“I really don’t want to go there…”

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
Gradually, this pretended irritation dominated his thoughts, and Rody's expression changed naturally, and his hands began to rub his hair unconsciously.

I don’t know how long it’s been,

Noisy!
The sound of brakes interrupted my thoughts.

A bus stopped in front of him, and its front door opened towards Roddy.

Rody himself was completely immersed in the state. The strong feeling of irritation caused by disgust made him unconsciously walk onto the bus, and he even forgot to look at which bus it was.

……

Due to the requirement of being more than 500 meters apart,

Anna and Yu Ze could only stand at the other side of the street.
With her height advantage and excellent vision, Anna could barely see Rody sitting at the bus stop, but her sight was interrupted from time to time by passers-by.

Yu Ze, who was reading a novel, took the initiative to communicate, which was rare: "Miss Anna, you'd better not keep staring at Luo Di. Those fake people with deep disguises and strange abilities are very shrewd.

Perhaps it is because of your observation that Rody is no longer in an 'independent state' and cannot be chosen by the other party."

"Ok."

Anna moved her gaze away from the bus stop and glanced at the situation across the street, but before two minutes had passed, she moved her eyes back again out of worry.

Luo Di, who was supposed to be sitting at the bus stop, was gone.

"Where are the people? I clearly didn't see the bus passing by just now."

When Anna was confused,
Yu Ze had already closed the novel page, and after calculating with Xiao Liu Ren, he showed a happy expression, "I got it right!"
