At the time, I was doing my daily training, and after two kilometers of weights, I was walking around the edge of the field to relax my muscles. www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion saw the instructor coming from the side, beckoning to me, saying that he had a task to report to the company commander's office.

That's my daily routine. As a military investigator, my work falls into three main categories: the first is to conduct comprehensive analysis and investigation of targets in non-wartime situations. Let's get to the bottom of it and see what the problems are, whether there is a possibility that the situation will deteriorate, what is the best way to intervene militarily, and so on. This type of task is the most common, but is often simply numbered and dusted in a corner of the archives, perhaps occasionally used as a reference one day.

The second category, often an extension of the first, is to conduct targeted surveys of non-war areas (or scouts if they are wartime areas) in preparation for military action. Including whether there are any chemical, biological, or even nuclear threats. The environment of modern warfare is becoming more and more complex, and it is no longer enough to rely on traditional military reconnaissance, and it is necessary for high-tech arms like China with a certain scientific foundation to more comprehensively determine the situation of a target in all aspects.

The third category is to evaluate and investigate the entire process of the operation when the military operation has been completed. This category is the most troublesome for me, because often this kind of demand is a sign that something must have gone wrong in the operation. When the time comes, all parties will pull off, shirk responsibility, cover up each other, and stage a Rashomon. I also have to peel back the cocoon in this messy clue, find the key person of the incident, who is responsible, which link went wrong, what experience and lessons are there, write a detailed report to analyze the whole process of the incident and hand it over to the leadership.

The Wangxing Village incident belongs to this third category.

As soon as I walked into the company commander's office, I found that he still had guests. In front of him sat a prefect in his forties, who looked very familiar. The two stars on the epaulettes made my heart tremble in fright, and I quickly wondered which Buddha this was.

Soon I remembered, and almost slapped my thigh and jumped up and shouted: "Isn't this the commander of our military region?" "Our old commander was transferred to another military region, and this commander was newly appointed this month, and he saw the dragon again on weekdays, no wonder I didn't think about it for a while.

So I hurriedly stood up and saluted the two: "Good chief! ”

The company commander nodded and said to the commander, "Chief, this is the little king I told you." ”

The commander nodded, and the company commander took his leave. I stood there, my waist straight, I didn't dare to move, I just watched him walk out, and I was uneasy in my heart, thinking that you actually abandoned me and let me face the big leader alone, and the cigarettes I usually ask you to smoke are really fed to the dogs.

So I was left in the office, the Commander, and one of his entourage. At this time, the commander handed me a folder and said: "This is a document that we found when we re-inventoried the old files, you should make preparations, and set off to this place tomorrow to investigate the specific process and results of the year's operation." ”

I took it, and it was a thin document bag with the word "confidential" on it. The kraft paper bag is a little old, and it smells faintly of mold and dust. I glanced hesitantly at the chief, saw him nod, and then opened the file bag.

Inside is a very simple mission report: "Mission: Cooperate with the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to provide military assistance to Wangxing Village to implement comprehensive martial law." ”

The brief description of the mission was written in great detail as required, and the general meaning was that they blocked several entrances and exits of Wangxing Village as required to ensure that no sick residents entered or exited. However, when the CDC people felt something was wrong and asked them to go inside and have a look, they found that the entire village was already empty.

So the team immediately carried out a large-scale search and pursuit, but did not find any villagers. The report reads: "There are no obvious signs of movement of the contents of the house, and there are no signs of a large number of people moving." The task was thus classified as "completed" and never stopped.

Now that the new commander has dug up such a headless case from the vast old archives, this central thought is self-evident.

When I saw this dossier at that time, my first thought was: What the hell, a whole village, more than 100 people, how can such a big thing be suppressed? But after thinking about it again, maybe the location of Wangxing Village is relatively remote, the social relations are relatively closed, and all the familiar people are in this village. If one or two outside relatives find that their family members are missing and go to the police, and they are missing, and no one is alive or dead, and the body is not visible, the seriousness of the case is far less than that of homicide, I am afraid that it will slowly cool down at the local police station and become an unsolved case.

Ten years ago, a small remote mountain village disappeared from this world without a clear eye. It is only today that human ambition has been dug up again. For small people like us who can't touch the intrigue of high-level politics at all, we may have to thank this commander to make the Wangxing Village incident rediscover the light of day after many years

"And this." The commander handed me two more documents, "Back then, the Science and Technology University sent two researchers to the Wangxing Village Astronomical Observatory to detect cosmic waves, but they also disappeared. ”

"Didn't the big science and technology pursue it?" My mouth moved faster than my brain, and I was the first to voice the doubts in my heart.

The commander shook his head and said thoughtfully, "This Cen Xiao... Have a background in studying abroad. Now that such a big thing has happened, I wonder if it's wrong..."

I immediately understood that they suspected that Cen Xiao might be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and deliberately caused the Wangxing Village incident. It's so big that it's no wonder that even the big tech doesn't dare to speak out. I vaguely remember reading a newspaper when I was a child, saying that two scientists had disappeared while doing research in the mountains, and it seemed that they were not found later, and they lost a lot of pensions.

I still remember one of my relatives at that time and said, "Look, what's the use of learning so much, high grades and low ability." If they had learned more and had more skills, they wouldn't have done that. Then he turned to me and said, "You say, don't you?" Ah, isn't it? ”

The unpleasant memories are really deeper. But now that I think about it, it's nonsense to do research in the mountains, Wangxing Village is obviously open to traffic, and there are even cement roads, at most it is a little far away from the nearby villages and towns, and it is impossible to get lost.

"I'll give you three days first, the village is not very big, it should be completed in one day. You can contact the information department of the team and they will give you all the support. The commander paused for a moment and continued: "The level of this mission is confidential, and it will be reported to me directly after completion, do you know?" ”

"Got it!" When I stood up and saluted, I didn't expect to walk into such a big mystery.
