The above is a photo of the diary entries written in my diary.

He came home late again today. It seems like things aren't going well for him at work lately. I don't know how to comfort him, so I just want to spend more time with him.

He complained to me that his boss was constantly exploiting him, and that a project proposal would be rejected several times a day, forcing him to work overtime to finish his work each day.

His temper has become increasingly volatile, and he's been drinking heavily lately.

I felt terrible watching him grow thinner and thinner, but I didn't know what to do.

Sometimes, he would lose his temper with me after drinking, and even hit me. Despite this, I chose to endure and forgive him because I love him, and I believe he's just under too much work pressure, which is why he treats me this way.

The person who wrote the diary appears to be the woman of the house.

At first, the diary entries contained the male homeowner's complaints about the amount of work and the pressure he was under. Later, the male homeowner's temper became increasingly irritable, and his personality became abnormal.

When he was drunk and in a bad mood, he would even hit the woman in his room, although he would cry and beg for her forgiveness after sobering up.

However, the woman's mood became increasingly depressed, and her diary entries, which initially expressed concern for her husband, turned into hatred towards him.

His behavior became increasingly outrageous. Every time he drank heavily, he would hit me, and each time it was harder than the last. But every time he sobered up, he would cry and beg me to forgive him, saying that he would never do it again.

He's changed, become a stranger, and is increasingly unlike the person I used to know. I'm in so much pain; I want to leave him, but what about Ni Ni?

He drank again today. Thank goodness I've already put Xiao Ni to sleep, so she won't see this disgusting side of her father.

I hope his work goes well today. Thankfully, he was too drunk and vomited all over the place before falling asleep and didn't hit me.

Why did he become like this? He wasn't like this at first. Why did his personality become so irritable? Is it really just because of too much work pressure?

I've had enough. Every single day, I either have to endure his beatings or take care of him when he's completely drunk.

That day, Xiao Ni woke up and saw him hitting me. Xiao Ni was terrified. He'd gone mad! He even tried to hit Xiao Ni! This is our child! Isn't he the one who loves his daughter the most?

No, this can't go on.

He's sick... He's not my husband.

[Great, I finally don't have to put up with him anymore. But where am I going to earn money without him at home? Maybe I should open a hotel.]

The diary has no date, but judging from the last entry, it wasn't that long ago.

After everyone finished reading, Du Jiashi couldn't help but wonder, "Could this be a criminal case?"

"Compared to a wife who had suffered domestic violence for years, finally couldn't bear her husband's behavior any longer and wanted to hit their daughter. One night, while her husband was drunk and asleep, she took a knife and stabbed him to death."

"Then..."

Du Jiashi gave him a knowing look.

Du Jiashi's guess is also somewhat plausible.

The Dungeon's name, "The Disappeared Father," and the Dungeon's hint, "A shocking secret has been discovered," strongly suggest that the male protagonist has been brutally murdered by the female protagonist.

Once a person is dead, isn't that the same as disappearing?

Zhang Lin also speculated, "If she really did kill her husband, then it's very likely she buried the body nearby."

After all, the requirement to clear the difficult level of the Dungeon is to find the Disappeared Father, so the Fang Yi not be too far away.

Yang Yu: "The boss we're going to fight, could it be a monster that this dead person mutated into?"

Du Jiashi: "It matches up, the logic is all correct."

"By the way, where's the team disbanding?"

He mysteriously disappeared after entering the Dungeon, although they all knew that Captain Xie was definitely watching them the whole time.

However, since they couldn't see anyone, they were still somewhat uncertain.

Zhang Lin thought for a moment, "It's probably in the attic, right? Don't worry, as long as it's inside the house, this distance is just a blink of an eye for an A-level Contract Anomalist."

Yang Yu: "So, are we going to look for the hidden body?"

It feels like the supernatural Dungeon has instantly turned into a crime investigation Dungeon.

Zhang Lin looked at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. "Since the clues are so clear, why didn't the Investigation Team complete the second condition for passing the level?"

Compared to these amateurs, the Investigation Team is clearly much more adept at handling these kinds of homicide cases, isn't it?

Moreover, the Investigation Team outnumbered them and possessed expertise in various investigative, interrogation, and infiltration techniques. How could they not find the hidden body?

Du Jiashi: "Could it be that they overlooked some clue?"

Xu Rou shrugged. "I only found this diary in the room. Oh, and there's a wardrobe in the room, and inside the wardrobe is a locked cabinet. The key to that cabinet is in the bedside table."

"But time was too tight, so I only opened it for a quick look. Inside were some receipts, documents, and some loose change and certificates; nothing else."

The Investigation Team also checked the cabinet, but found nothing there either.

Zhang Lin: "Let's first look around the house to see if there's anything unusual."

"Good."

Everyone else agreed with his proposal.

The mother and daughter turned off the lights and went to bed early, while the others quietly left the house and went outside.

It was surrounded by a forest.

These mountain villas probably won't be too expensive. Although there's Small Town at the foot of the mountain, who would choose to live in these mountain houses besides tourists and hikers?

Zhang Lin and the others split up, but they didn't stray too far, maintaining a distance where they could still see each other.

After all, if they were to encounter something strange, the others would need to be able to quickly return to defend. With so many of them gathered together, even if they encountered a strange creature they couldn't defeat, they would be able to hold out until Xie Yu arrived.

The group searched the area all night.

Nothing was found.

Even Zhang Lin, who had undergone some training, did not see anything unusual.

There were no obvious footprints, no dug-out soil, and no dripping blood or stench.

"How long will it take to find them like this?"

Du Jiashi didn't care that the ground was dirty and sat down on it.

He grabbed a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and chewed on it idly.

Yang Yu: "We've searched the entire area. Unless the body was dumped somewhere further away, it could only be hidden inside the house."

If the body is hidden far away, then searching like headless flies, who knows how long it would take.

They could only stay there for one night at most, and had to leave the next day; otherwise, the longer they stayed, the more suspicious the landlady would become.
