C1953 Investigate
An hour later,
Shadow and Hedges circled the entire underground space, and all the energy that had not been consumed was almost instantly eaten up by them.
Then, the Shadow set off another fire.
Seeing this underground space being wrapped up by burning Hellfires, Zhou Yi nodded lightly.
If these people were all people who had been devoured, one could imagine how many people they had killed.
It was simply extremely terrifying when one thought carefully.
After dealing with the matters in the cave, everyone left the place.
Mu Yan went straight to the camp, while Huaxin gave orders to the various city lords to start dealing with the people who had gone missing or disappeared for no reason in the past five years.
Zhou Yi had nothing to do, so he brought the Dark Shadow to investigate Linfeng City first.
Linfeng City's predecessor, Yanyu City, had almost all the people in the city died because of the incident with the old city lord.
Jie Qiu had become the vice city lord. In a flash, so many years had passed. Most of the matters in the city were handled by him.
Therefore, he could not be clearer if there were any matters.
Arriving at Jie Qiu's residence, He was lying on the bed reading a book when he saw Zhou Yi. He quickly stood up.
"Sir, why are you here? Is something the matter?"
Zhou Yi sat on a chair and smiled. "There is no need to be so polite between us. Hurry up and get up. I do have something I need your help with."
"Please tell me what it is." Xie Qiu stood on the ground and waited for Zhou Yi to speak.
"Sit down first," Zhou Yi said. Zhou Yi said helplessly. After so long, Jie Qiu was still so polite.
Jie Qiu smiled and sat down. "I just can't forget that you saved my life. If I didn't get online, I wouldn't have been able to save Jie Qiu today."
"I already said there's no need to be like this. That thing has done many evil things. If it was anyone else, they would have attacked." Zhou Yi didn't expect Jie Qiu to have such a good memory. He had used it for many years.
"Oh, right. May I know why you are looking for me?" Jie Qiu asked.
"Yes, I want you to help me check if there has been any missing persons in the past three to five years."
"You want to check missing persons?" Jie Qiu asked with a puzzled look.
Zhou Yi nodded. "Yes. When you check, you have to count all the missing persons, regardless of the reason."
"Alright. I'll go and check for Sir right away." Jie Qiu clasped his hands slightly at Zhou Yi and then walked out.
Zhou Yi felt that there was no use sitting here and waiting, so he got up and followed Jie Qiu to the archive room.
"Sir, here are the files about the recent transfer of personnel in the city. According to what you said, after establishing the files, it is indeed much easier to manage the personnel."
Zhou Yi nodded. He thought that if there was a computer, it would be more convenient to manage the personnel.
Seeing that Qiu Zhisheng had brought over more than ten files, Zhou Yi asked doubtfully, "It can't be that so many people are missing."
Qiu Xuan smiled. "No, but I can't find the missing book. I just came to check it."
Zhou Yi flipped open the book and saw that there were many records of the changes in residents. The other one was a birth record, and the other one was a death record.
There were indeed many places that needed to be recorded.2
"There are also records of the construction of houses here. I have filed them all according to Sir's instructions. If I want to find out now, there will definitely be no problem." Jie Qiu flipped through the records as he smiled.
"Right!" After seeing so many of his records, Zhou Yi suddenly opened his mouth. "You should have records of outsiders, like when people moved in from other cities."
"Yes!" Jie Qiu answered very quickly. "The records of those people are all in this book. It not only records when they moved here, but also where they moved from."
"Because the king previously said that in order to move from a city to another city, one must have the original city lord's approval, so this record is very detailed."
As he spoke, Jie Qiu passed the document to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi took the document and looked at it. He found that there were quite a number of people who moved to Linfeng City in the past few years. Perhaps it was because Hua Xin and he would be here most of the time.
Moreover, Yanyu City was a big city, so there would be more people who liked to come here.
Zhou Yi looked at the record. Most of the people had come to Lin Feng City three years ago. No matter how big the city was, there was a limit to its size. About half a year ago, the number of outsiders had started to decrease.
"Sir, you can take a look. This is the missing persons record between three to five years. I took a rough look and found that since three years ago, the number of missing people had started to increase for some reason. " Not until a year ago. "
Jie Qiu handed over the information.
Zhou Yi opened the record and looked at the number written on it. It was indeed shocking.
Jie Qiu flipped open another record. A moment later, he said with surprise, "Sir, I also found something very interesting. Although people in our city will disappear for no reason, the people who came in are directly proportional to the people who lost them. So now it seems that the population of our Linfeng City has not decreased. "
Zhou Yi was shocked. Then he said, "What are you holding in your hand?"
Jie Qiu handed over the book. "This is the population value record I made."
Zhou Yi compared the number on the book, the number of missing people, and the number of outsiders moving in. The number of the three families could really be steadily closed.
From this, it could be seen that the person had probably started arranging things three years ago.
However, he could not come to a conclusion yet. He would only know what had happened after he saw the reports from other cities.
These days, Huaxin had been doing the same thing. After the news had been sent out, the various city lords had started to calculate. They hadn't expected the results to be exactly the same.
All the missing people in the city were proportional to the people who came.
"How could it be like this?" Hua Xin looked at Zhou Yi with a serious expression.
Zhou Yi looked at the dozens of files on the table and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "I think we can investigate this matter in detail."
"How do you want to investigate?" Hua Xin asked.
"Find more people. I want to know if these people who migrated to this city are real or fake!"
"We don't need too many people. We can send them to the city lords of each city and take a look." Hua Xin spoke.
"There's still a lot more work to do. That's to check if those missing people have appeared in other cities? " Zhou Yi looked at the book and asked slowly.
"How... how is this possible?" Everyone looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.
