Chapter 6: The Mystery Archive
Li Yiting finally found a foothold in Boone.
He lives at No. 38 Niu Shi Street, a small hotel called "Juyou Inn", for some reason, he has a strange intuition that Niu Shi Street will definitely bring him unexpected surprises, here is a mixture of fish and dragons, not to attract people's attention, but also to contact all kinds of related people.
Although it was still a few kilometers away from his final destination.
As the president of the Beiting Detective Agency's first expedition, he was yearning, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he could find psychological comfort for the decision to leave the company. Wan Yongkun is a very good assistant, it is naturally the best choice for him to dock with Xu Jingnan, this person is a farmer's face, in the industry, he is the best rural undercover candidate, from the perspective of the detective agency, he may become the best detective in the future, in terms of skills, he is a first-class good hand, he is grateful to the fourth brother in his heart.
Of course, he has more to be grateful for, the old dossier in his hand is another crucial piece of information, and it is really difficult for him to guess where this information came from, but the team's efficient cooperation and precautions have made him more confident in this trip.
Today, he plans to stay at home and eat a boxed lunch, because he is going to spend the whole day studying this precious historical material.
The dossier is called: Boone Tour's Disappearance File.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhou Wengang has been restless for the past few days, he tried to contact Xu Jingnan but there was no news, he didn't know what went wrong, and of course he didn't know anything about the dismissal of Meng Biao's disappearance.
He did notice something out of the ordinary.
It can be seen that the unit is still operating as usual on the surface, but his roommate Meng Biao makes him unpredictable, and since he accidentally met Meng Biao in the market, Zhou Wengang's mind has been in a state of disorder. In fact, as soon as he returned to the unit, Meng Biao had already taken the initiative to greet him, and also explained the reason why he didn't say hello in the market, intentionally or unintentionally, in the small talk-it turned out that Meng Biao deliberately pretended not to know Zhou Wengang, and he didn't want to appear in the unit so early, and he hadn't finished some things yet, and he didn't want to meet Zhou Wengang unexpectedly, so he had no choice but to return to the team.
This reason is not unreasonable, but Zhou Wengang has never let go.
Meng Biao never mentioned where he had gone for nearly a month from beginning to end, let alone the real reason for his departure, he seemed so casual, as if this had never happened, of course, Zhou Wengang knew that these belonged to personal privacy after all, even if it was a friend, Meng Biao couldn't ask casually if he didn't say it. But the strange thing is that the unit didn't even come to ask, which is a bit unusual.
Besides, most of the people in the unit are front-line technicians, and the biggest characteristic of technical personnel is that they don't like gossip, and they don't like to meddle with other people's affairs, and delving into topics is their core mission.
Who's family has no accident and funeral, why do you ask so much.
Zhou Wengang is different, he is a non-mainstream technician, not only likes to study online games on weekdays, but also takes leave to go out and drink coffee every once in a while, so it is understandable that subordinate leaders don't like it. If it weren't for his professional expertise, he would have known on his toes that he would be the next to be fired, but he didn't care.
Not only does he not care, but he also clearly shows his admiration for Liu Yi and his disdain for others, if in officialdom, this is called hugging a big tree and standing in line, perhaps it is the right thing to do and can be universally recognized, but in the technical circle, this is called looking for a donkey to kick. Not only did other colleagues want to kick him, but Liu Yi himself was also annoyed, and repeatedly stumbled in public, so that Zhou Wengang couldn't get off the stage.
But Zhou Wengang is still the same, unchanged, I don't know if he should be called naïve or really ignorant of current affairs.
Isn't it strange that people like Meng Biao finally found a friend, and they are so super wonderful.
But now everything seems to have changed, Meng Biao doesn't even need the last friend, he stays silent all day long, at most three questions and answers, and then Zhou Wengang doesn't know where to start, today is good, this former roommate moved away directly and quietly, without even saying hello, just like when he disappeared, the only difference is that he is clear about the whereabouts of this disappearance, that is, the second floor of Building 3, which is completely separated from himself.
Qingjing is quiet, but the more Zhou Wengang thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, he has insomnia almost every night, he always feels that something is in his throat, he wants to find someone to talk to, and even he wants to go directly to the police station to find Xu Jingnan to "tell his heartfelt feelings", but this is completely wishful thinking, Xu Jingnan has already sent a text message back to himself a few days ago, although it is just a short line of text, he can also see the cold tone of this almost unfamiliar police officer: Don't do nothing.
This sentence made him a little at a loss.
Fortunately, he still has the last straw, and he is waiting for the "savior" who needs this straw to see if he can save himself from this suffocating quagmire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Xu Jingnan has been proud of the spring breeze these days.
His confusion has long been swept away, although Li Yiting did not say anything to him specifically, or provide any analysis of the case, but Li Yiting's stationing in Niu Shi Street is enough to explain everything, not to mention that he also specially arranged for the assistant named Brother Kun to maintain a one-line contact with him, for a primary school policeman, what a great honor, and the most important thing is to add a lot of confidence and confidence to his reasoning and deduction ability.
He knows that the case of Meng Biao's disappearance is far from being turned over, and the withdrawal of the case is not the same as not having a case, and if necessary, the police can still unilaterally initiate a public prosecution through investigation and evidence collection, which Xu Jingnan understands very well.
However, the withdrawal of the case still brought a lot of resistance to his own investigation, especially when he walked into the director's office today to report his intention to continue the investigation, the director's indifferent gaze made him goosebumps all over his body, but fortunately, the director just waved his hand in the end, signaling him not to mention it again, which was also the intention of letting him out.
When the soles of his feet slowly moved to the door of the office, the director said: "The public bicycle parked on the curb of the road was stolen yesterday, you can go and investigate." ”
Xu Jingnan replied helplessly, his expression was a little gloomy, but he could understand what he was good at, if the 24-hour non-stop trivial matters were coordinated by him, he would have the same expression, or even be angry.
Now, he can only wait for new evidence in the case of Meng Biao's disappearance before he can apply for a new case.
Before that, he had to convey his predicament to Mr. Li through Brother Kun, otherwise the teacher might be disappointed in his ability.
At the same time, he also has to work out a detailed plan for the next step, although Mr. Li has traveled thousands of miles to help, but after all, this is his own territory, and the degree of familiarity must be based on the investigation of the police station.
Of course, the top priority now is to send the police to investigate the theft of public bicycles, or the director really pursues his own passive slacking, which is greatly detrimental to the future work, although the theft of these bicycles is just a trivial matter, even if the investigation is not carried out, it does not matter.
But you can't show up.
He made up his mind and went to the "first crime scene" in a hurry.
There was also a little song humming along the way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Boone Tour Missing Files records:
In the remote mountain village of southern China, there have been 31 missing people for more than 50 years, 10 of which have not yet been solved, and the only one detected after that is the most recent thing, that is in 2093, which is already more than 20 years ago, when a senior technician took leave to go home to visit relatives, and has not been heard from since, two years later, in 2095, the body of the missing person was found in an abandoned ditch in his hometown by people from a neighboring village, and the case was transferred to the local police to continue the investigation, but the investigation turned out to be an ordinary murder case because of affection。
The previous 10 disappearance cases are far more bizarre than this one, and the most bizarre thing is that 8 of them all occurred in the Zhongnan Branch of the 5578 Research Institute, and the overall situation of the cases is both strange and very similar, all of them are technicians who suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like the evaporation of the world. The local police still had no way to start the investigation for several months, so they could only report the situation to the next level, and then until the central government, they never got an answer, so that the Public Security Department named it "5578 Unsolved Case" a few years later, and kept it on file for investigation.
In the following decades, there are still many outstanding police officers who try to solve these mysterious cases, but without exception, they all return in vain, and moreover, as time goes by, the dusty case becomes even more confusing, and most of the evidence has been missing.
The following are the investigation files of the remaining 20 cases of disappearances that have been solved.
……
……
Turning to the last few pages, the bright red word "top secret" suddenly met Li Yiting's eyes, and he was almost startled, and couldn't help but look closely.
The top-secret content is recorded as follows:
The Central and South Branch of the 5578 Research Institute is an extremely special unit, with a total of 295 staff members, of which more than 80% are technical personnel, more than 50% are senior technical personnel, and more than 20% are outstanding experts in a certain field, with a total of 60 astronomers, physicists, biologists, sociologists, historians, archaeologists, geneticists, mechanical engineers, computer engineers, energy engineers, architectural engineers, There are 90 biochemical engineers, 86 general technical personnel, 10 administrative personnel, 25 technical management personnel, 24 logistics support personnel, and a number of artificial intelligence experts are planned to be dispatched in the later stage.
No. 5578 means to carry out task No. 78 of '55.
The No. 78 scientific research task is divided into three sub-projects, each sub-project is different, all of which are carried out independently by various research branches distributed across the country, and the headquarters is only responsible for overall planning and fund allocation, of which the research topic of the third sub-project is the core project of the Central South Branch.
The full name of the third sub-project is the Extraterrestrial Civilization Exploration and Abnormal Human Research Program, abbreviated as UXP, and the specific research content is as follows:
First, conduct comprehensive analysis and research based on the strange signs, sighting reports, pictures and videos of extraterrestrial civilizations collected from all over the world, solve the mystery of the existence of UFOs and aliens, explore the formation, development and termination of cosmic civilizations based on the current level of science and technology, calculate the trajectory of near-Earth meteorites, and study countermeasures;
Second, the establishment of the world's largest astronomical radio telescope and cosmic ray collection system, the construction of a high-power skywave system, a high-energy particle collider, a gravity link, a space-time conversion machine, and a nuclear fusion vessel;
Third, conduct in-depth research on abnormal human beings in China, explore the limits of human intelligence, crack the ultimate mystery of the human brain, and find a theoretical basis for the formation, reproduction, evolution, and mutation of cosmic organisms;
Fourth, research and development of nuclear fusion energy and future energy to create opportunities for the long-term development of mankind, improve the current defense weapons attack and defense systems, and solve fundamental world problems for space navigation;
……
……
Li Yiting's battle-hardened heart couldn't help but shudder, everyone always has an inexplicable fear and grotesque imagination about the unknown world, what kind of institution is this? He couldn't help but think of the terrifying image of the little green man and the X-Men in his mind: falling fireballs hitting the entire earth, slender triangular machines spewing fire everywhere, weird green little people full of tentacles like octopuses, and the skeleton King Kong made of a body that can instantly grow sharp blades, and the fluid blue body that can be deformed at will can be transferred in time and space, generating a super magnetic force to attract all metals to attack, and the angry eyes instantly shoot out a laser of destruction......
He shook his head, trying to calm himself down.
Is this sci-fi or real?
Li Yiting secretly scolded in his heart: Not to mention that 8 people are missing in such an organization, it is not unusual for 800 people to evaporate! But the most surprising thing now is that the fourth brother actually let himself and Yongkun investigate such an organization, which is too much of a joke.
Could it be that Chinese detectives can only survive by investigating these supernatural things? Can there be a normal case, whether this is a problem of the system or a problem of people, he thought with some anger.
Li Yiting closed the terrifying dossier angrily, rubbing his temples in great discomfort, he felt that this was a complete conspiracy from beginning to end, apparently someone was holding a piece of waste paper with a big red seal and encouraging him to jump into the fire pit.
You damn cripple, you're not a thing!
