    Hawkeye immediately realized that something was wrong, and then he asked Luo Tingyun to go to the security office to obtain the records of the case, while he and Lu Ming visited the apartment building.  One is to see if new clues can be found through visits, and the other is to see if there are any similar cases.

    Having dealt with many intrusion incidents, Hawkeye's intuition told him that there might never be more than two such cases.

    As expected, after an afternoon of investigation and visits, Hawkeye found that there were six similar cases in the entire building.  Moreover, these six cases are almost exactly the same. It was found that someone next door made a noise first, but there was no movement after that, and finally it was found that no one lived in the house at all.

    No one knows where the disappeared residents went, but according to the feedback from their neighbors, these disappeared residents have made noises, including but not limited to the sound of opening and closing doors, the sound of walking, and the sound of coughing.

    But in the end, through inspection, it was found that these houses have not been lived in for a long time without exception, and there is no sign of recent occupancy at all.

    After learning this, Hawkeye felt that this was not just a simple disappearance.  So many residents reported the same situation, and there were also members of the Special Affairs Department among them, so the situation was definitely not fabricated.

    The problem now is that the house that has not been lived in for a long time and the movement that has been heard are obviously contradictory.

    However, according to interviews, many residents in the apartment still think that this is haunted, so I only occasionally say in private that not all of the six cases were reported to the Security Office, but only three.

    However, as the holder of the medal for dealing with the intrusion incidents, Hawkeye does not believe in the so-called ghosts and gods, and in Hawkeye's view, the weirdness of many intrusion incidents far exceeds the ghosts and gods.

    After sorting out the collected information, Hawkeye decided to go back to the Special Affairs Department first.  If you continue to find no new clues here, why don't you go back to the Special Affairs Division to summarize the information at hand to see if there is anything missing.

    Returning to the Special Affairs Department, Hawkeye briefly recounted the situation to Zhang Haoran.  Zhang Haoran was also very puzzled after hearing this, let's just forget that there were more than one case like this, since the Security Department received a report, why didn't they respond to the Special Affairs Division?

    Called the Security Office. After hearing that the Special Affairs Division was investigating the matter, the other party carefully told Zhang Haoran the details of the case.  Listening and listening, Hawkeye found that Zhang Haoran's expression became more and more strange, and when Zhang Haoran put down the phone, Hawkeye quickly asked: "What did the security hall say?"

    Putting the phone in his pocket, Zhang Haoran frowned and said with a strange expression: "The security office said the case is fine."

    Hawkeye was puzzled and said: "Is this no problem? Anyone can see that this is absolutely abnormal."

    After hesitating for a while, Zhang Haoran said: "After receiving the report, the Security Office conducted a careful inspection of the scene and found that there was indeed nothing abnormal. Moreover, they also obtained the information of those residents. The results showed that the house was unoccupied  , because the occupants moved out of the apartment for various legitimate reasons. That is to say, it¡¯s okay that the house is unoccupied for a long time.¡±

    Although part of the confusion was cleared up, Hawkeye continued to ask: "So many people reported hearing the sound of the door opening and closing next door, how can this be explained?"

    Zhang Haoran thought about what the other party said on the phone, rubbed his temples hard, and then stopped talking.  .

    Indeed, this is the strangest part of this case.  Obviously heard the sound, but the house has not been lived in for a long time.  Now that the house is unoccupied it has been proven normal, so how to explain the sound?

    Hawkeye thought for a while, and said: "I don't think those people lied about this matter. Luo Tingyun is still a member of the Special Affairs Department, and he has no reason to lie."

    Of course Zhang Haoran knew this. After being silent for a while, he said: "But the house has been proven to have no problems. If this is excluded, then only people have problems."

    Hawkeye did not refute this time, as far as the current situation is concerned, this is indeed an indisputable fact.

    Just as the two were guessing what caused this case to happen, Luo Tingyun suddenly ran over, still holding a few document bags in his hand.

    Walking quickly to Hawkeye, Luo Tingyun handed over a few file bags: "These are the investigation files of the Security Department. There are three cases in total, and I brought them over."

    Hawkeye took the file bag, and then took out one of them and handed it to Zhang Haoran. The two opened the file separately, took out the file inside and examined it carefully.

    It didn't take long for Zhang Haoran to discover that the dossier was the same as the situation described by the Security Office, but the details were richer.  At the same time, with the support of a large amount of evidence, the Security Office has made a very scientific conclusion that there are no traces of human habitation in these houses in the near future.  Therefore,For these alarms, the Security Agency is more inclined to the illusion that people have at a certain point in time.

    After looking at it twice, Zhang Haoran put down the file.  He knew that for the current situation, the dossier was meaningless.  Now the question is back to the essence, which is what is going on with the voices heard by the apartment residents?  Is it really like the file of the Security Agency said that the residents had an illusion?  But is it really possible that so many people have the illusion at the same time?

    Suppressing these questions, Zhang Haoran asked Luo Tingyun to go to work first, and then said to Hawkeye: "Let's have a meeting, let's discuss it together."

    After hastily eating dinner, the meeting began.  In addition to Hawkeye, Lu Ming also participated in the meeting of the medal holder team.  Jiang Cailing, as a long-term nail in the special affairs department, naturally also came.  Including other members of the special affairs department, the entire conference room was packed.

    Before the meeting started, information about the case was placed on everyone's desk.  The information has just been printed out, and the paper is still slightly warm.

    After being seated, Zhang Haoran asked everyone to read the information in full.  After hearing this, everyone also picked up the materials in front of them, and the time passed by with the sound of flipping pages.  Not long after, everyone put down the information in their hands.

    Seeing that everyone had finished watching, Zhang Haoran asked, "Just let us know what you think about the case."

    The people from the special affairs department glanced at each other, and did not take the lead in expressing their opinions. Instead, Jiang Cailing said first: "I have read the information, and my current opinion is consistent with the investigation conclusion of the Security Department. There are two key points in this case.  One is that the house has not been lived in for a long time, and the other is that the residents next to it have heard various voices."

    "Everyone has read the information now, so you should also know that the first point has been proven to be conclusive. No matter what the reason for the original occupants to move out, it is certain that the house has not been lived in for a long time."

    Hearing this, many people present nodded.

    Jiang Cailing continued: "Since there is no problem with this key point, the problem must be with the person who heard the sound. Although I don't know the specific reason, it is obviously their illusion. In addition, I would like to ask a little more."

    Having said that, Jiang Cailing looked towards Zhang Haoran.

    "I want to know why the security department received three reports and the cases were so similar. Why did they neither report it nor conduct a deeper investigation into the case? It stands to reason that the investigation of those residents who moved out may give us clues.  "

    Zhang Haoran coughed twice and replied: "I just called the Security Office to confirm, and they felt that there were no casualties or property losses in this case, and there was no need for further investigation. And they also reflected that,  Even if I want to ask the residents who have moved out, I can¡¯t find anyone now.¡±

    Is there such a coincidence?

    Jiang Cailing frowned, wondering: "Why can't I find anyone?"

    "Because these households who moved away have different destinations, and the situation is more complicated. Three of them moved to the federal government, and the whereabouts of the other two households are unknown. It is impossible to determine where they moved, or whether they moved away after all."

    "I remember there are six households in total, is there another one?"

    "That family lived next to Luo Tingyun, but the investigation by the Security Department found that the head of the household died of natural causes three years ago. Because he had no family members, no one took over his house, and the furnishings in the house were basically the same as when he was alive."

    Upon hearing the news, Jiang Cailing fell into silence.  According to Zhang Haoran, it is really difficult for the Security Agency to investigate the information of these people.  But only a moment later, a new question appeared in Jiang Cailing's mind. Is it a coincidence that these difficult-to-contact residents appeared in the case at the same time?

    Without expressing this doubt, Jiang Cailing sat quietly in a chair and thought alone.

    Afterwards, many people expressed their opinions on this case. Most of them agreed with Jiang Cailing, and some put forward new opinions, but they basically revolved around the illusion.

    Hawkeye himself did not express any opinions. As a person who investigated the scene, even he did not find anything special, so delusion seems to be the best explanation for this case.  The question, however, is how this illusion came about.

    At the end of the meeting, everyone's opinions were very unified. They decided to test all the people who had delusions to see if they had problems themselves.  Zhang Haoran originally planned to do the same. After hearing that so many people agreed with him, he took advantage of the situation and arranged this matter.

    After the meeting ended, everyone left the meeting room.  Looking at Jiang Cailing's deep thought, Zhang Haoran smiled silently, then walked to the window and quietly lit a cigar.

    Seeing the smoke dissipate into the night, Zhang Haoran said, "What are you thinking?"

    Jiang Cailing didn't look up, and replied after a while: "I always feel something is wrong."

    "Don't think too much. When the test results come out tomorrow, there should be new progress in the case. Maybe it's just an illusion of this group of people, and maybe they mistakenly think that they have a neighbor who doesn't exist."

    Laughing twice, Zhang Haoran turned his head to look at Jiang Cailing, and then the smile on his face slowly dissipated.  Because he found that Jiang Cailing, who was bowing his head in thought, had a more serious expression than he had imagined.In the darkness, Zhang Haoran said, "What are you thinking?"

    Jiang Cailing didn't look up, and replied after a while: "I always feel something is wrong."

    "Don't think too much. When the test results come out tomorrow, there should be new progress in the case. Maybe it's just an illusion of this group of people, and maybe they mistakenly think that they have a neighbor who doesn't exist."
