Chapter 128 The person who entered the mountain late at night
Man-eating mountain?
When I heard Li Guidao say these three words, I was a little curious and asked: "Does it mean that mountains can eat people?"
Li Guidao said: "Obviously that's what it means. This case occurred at a general's tomb in the middle of the Taihang Mountains. There are several places in the Taihang Mountains called general's tomb. The general's tomb we are talking about is not a village, but a village.
Mountain, that mountain is called the General’s Tomb. According to legend, a general is buried on that mountain, but the name of the general is unknown.”
"Some scholars have also done research, saying that it was a certain general who was destroyed by the Xing Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. No matter how much information was found, no one even found any tombs on that mountain, so that mountain is called the General's Tomb.
Although it remains the same, there is no real tomb."
"To the south of the mountain where the general's tomb is, there is a place called Songzhai. The village is not small, with nearly a thousand people living in it. However, in the past two years, many people in the village have not come back after entering the mountain.
And those missing people will be found in the ravine to the west of the general's tomb in the third month of the disappearance. When they are found, they are still bones, but their clothes are still intact, and they don't look like at all.
Attacked by wild beasts or caused by falling off a cliff!"
"So the locals spread the news that those who entered the mountain were actually eaten by the mountain at the general's tomb. The mountain was a god and a monster. When eating people, they ate the meat directly through their clothes, so they would not destroy it.
The victim’s clothing.”
"From two years ago to now, more than ten people have had accidents in Songzhai. This incident has caused panic in the local area, but no one has reported it. The local area has been investigating it as a criminal case, so our Supernatural Branch has also
I never noticed it until someone happened to be passing by Song Village not long ago and they heard about a mountain cannibalizing people, so they reported it."
"However, we haven't had time to investigate the detailed situation there, so this time, you are here to investigate and determine what is going on there; and secondly, to resolve the matter. No matter what the reason is, you must not let that person
Mountains can no longer 'eat people'."
I nodded and said, "If there really is a mountain that eats people and spits out their bones, that would be really weird!"
Li Guidao continued: "That's all I can tell you. Next, I will send the location of Song Village and the General's Tomb to your mobile phone. You should set off as soon as possible. The earlier the better!"
"Your identity as a member of the accident investigation team this time is a false one, but you will have formal documents, and some leaders will also inform the party secretary and village chief of Songzhai Village, asking them to fully cooperate with your investigation."
"There will be dedicated personnel to arrange your food, accommodation and transportation when you get there."
The three of us nodded.
We didn't stay at the wreath shop for much longer. After Li Guidao sent us out, before we could get in the car and set off, he closed the door of the shop and put up a sign saying it was closed.
Naturally, we would not care about this with Li Guidao, so we headed west directly according to the address Li Guidao sent me.
From a travel perspective, our trip to Songzhai this time will take more than three hours.
I wasn't driving all the way. In the second half, Zhang Rui was driving for me, while I leaned on the back seat and fell asleep for a while.
When we arrived at Songzhai, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the phone number Li Guidao gave us, we found the party secretary of the village. He was a man in his forties named Song Miaozheng. He was followed by a young man behind Song Miaozheng.
The man, probably in his early twenties, is named Song Yihe, and he is the village chief here.
After further questioning, we found out that Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe were uncles and nephews, and this family firmly held the power of Songzhai Village in their hands.
Naturally, we wouldn't ask any more about these things. We just asked where we would stay tonight.
Song Miaozheng took us to the village committee, where there was a row of bungalows, with three rooms enough for us to live in.
After arranging for us to stay, Song Miaozheng looked us over and said, "Are all the people who are engaged in criminal investigation so young now? Some of them even wear costumes."
Nangong Fancong snorted and said: "Your nephew has become the head of a village in his early twenties. Is it weird for us better people to engage in criminal investigation? Besides, what I wear affects me.
What kind of work do you do?”
When Nangong Fan said this, the expressions on the faces of Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe were a bit strange. It is conceivable that Song Yihe's position as village chief was definitely not obtained through formal elections, but most likely by buying votes.
.
I just wonder, in such a village in the mountains, what profit can be gained by spending money to buy a village chief?
But these are not things we should investigate, so I didn’t pursue them.
Nangong Fan's words made Song Miaozheng a little embarrassed. Zhang Rui smiled and said: "This is what our colleague said. Don't be offended. It's all arranged anyway. You can go back first. If you need anything,
We’ll call you again.”
After hearing what Zhang Rui said, uncle and nephew Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe left.
Nangong Fanxong snorted reluctantly, his tone full of contempt and contempt.
After Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe walked away, Zhang Rui said to Nangong Fanxing: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, we are here to investigate the case, not to cause trouble. Why do you have to argue with two ordinary people?"
Nangong Fancong said: "I hate those people who practice favoritism and abuse the law the most. I can tell at a glance that the position of village chief Song Yihe is not clean. They have done dirty things. Why don't you let the truth be told?"
"
Zhang Rui also shook his head helplessly.
On my side, I feel novel. I didn’t expect that Nangong Fan is still such a hateful person. Although she has a murderous intention, she is still kind in her heart. No wonder the senior Tang who tested our Taoist heart would say, Nangong Fan’s
The Taoist heart is still above me.
There are some things that I find out and I don't want to take care of them, but Nangong Fanxong is different. She will definitely "speak out" or even take action on things that she doesn't understand. She has quite a heroine style about her. From this moment on,
From a certain point of view, Nangong Fan is indeed better than me.
If there were no people like Nangong Fanxing in the world who dare to speak out for justice, darkness and bad people would become even more rampant.
In this way, I should learn more from Nangong Fanxing, so I said to Zhang Rui: "Nangong did the right thing, but he just told a few truths, and he didn't do anything to them."
After hearing what I said, Nangong Fanzong looked at me approvingly and said, "Not bad, there is progress."
Zhang Rui doesn't want to offend me, let alone Nangong Fan, so he won't argue anymore.
Next, the four of us divided the rooms. Nangong Fanzong wanted to live in the best room, but we had no choice, so I, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing had to divide the remaining two rooms.
Tang Qing is a girl, so Zhang Rui and I left the best to Tang Qing, and then we squeezed into the same room.
It had just rained during the day, so we were not going to go into the mountains at night. Song Miaozheng brought us dinner at six or seven o'clock, and he didn't say anything else to me.
Not long after we had eaten, we fell asleep.
Around midnight, we suddenly heard the footsteps of a group of people walking, and they passed by the entrance of the village committee.
We quickly got up and came out of the house to ask what those people were doing.
Those people also knew that we were members of the investigation team, so they answered us and said that we were going into the mountains to collect herbs.
They were holding hammers, electric picks and other things in their hands. At first glance, they couldn't be going into the mountains to collect herbs. Instead, they looked a bit like they were going to mine.
But why do they have to pick it at night? There must be something fishy here.
I smiled at them and said, "You are picking herbs with hammers and electric picks. Don't be ridiculous. Tell the truth. What are you doing?"
One of the leaders said: "If you want to know, just ask our party secretary and village chief, we are just working!"
After saying that, the group of people left directly and ignored us at all.
There were about sixteen or seventeen people in that group, mostly young and middle-aged workers. Aren't they afraid of the constant troubles in the mountains? How dare they go into the mountains in the middle of the night?
After those people walked away, Nangong Fanxong asked me: "Do you want to catch up with them?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Follow us and take a look, but we have to follow them secretly so that they don't find out."
Nangong Fancong smiled and said: "You should be the most worried about this problem. I, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing all have the magical power to hide their bodies, but you don't!"
Indeed, among the four of us, I am the only one who is not a Heavenly Master yet...
I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just telling myself, okay, let's follow them after they have walked some distance."
What do those people do when they go into the mountains late at night? Is it related to mountain cannibalism? (To be continued)
