However, the environment of the wooden house was too bad, the fire flickered non-stop, and it was very dark, and Xia Yong had no professional equipment around him, he looked at it for a while, and did not find anything special, then the room suddenly became bright, it turned out that Comrade Liu took out a flashlight from his backpack, and the light was very bright. Comrade Liu, wearing rubber gloves and using the bright light, first looked at it with a magnifying glass, and then checked it with a peculiar scanner, and finally looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and said: "Village Chief Huang, you prepare a room for us, and let all the villagers gather in the open space in front of the village tomorrow morning, and no one is allowed to be absent." ”

Xia Yong took advantage of the bright light to look at the items found in the mountains again, and found nothing special, there were no blood stains on these straw sandals and farm tools, and there were no traces of fighting on the farm tools, and there were no clues on these items without further laboratory examination.

Huang Zhonghou said: "The house of Bai Tuyu in the back is empty, I will take the experts there." Comrade Liu glanced at the puppy and said, "No, just let him lead the way." Everyone got out of the wooden house of the head of Huang Village, followed the little dog to the village, the village was dark, the five fingers could not be seen, it was very gloomy, the scope of the torch lighting in everyone's hands was very limited, but Comrade Liu and the three of them could feel that many villagers were standing from a distance watching here, because of their arrival, the villagers of Huangjia Village did not sleep.

When Comrade Liu and the others came to a dilapidated and simple wooden house, Comrade Liu looked at the tablet and instructed Erzhu and the little dog: "Continue to patrol the edge of the village, don't let your guard down." "Yes!" Erzhu and the puppy went with a few people.

Comrade Liu and the three spent the night here, and the next morning, when Xia Yong opened his eyes, the sunlight had already poured in through the window. Qiu Tian and Comrade Liu also woke up, and the three of them slept in their clothes, and when they woke up, they walked out of the house.

Although it was early in the morning, the sun was already very dazzling, and the air was fresh, at this time Comrade Liu and the three of them saw the appearance of Huangjia Village clearly: the simple wooden houses were staggered and bald in the wild grass, or leaning on the big trees, this village was the poorest place in the country, except for wooden houses, there was nothing, like a primitive tribe, and a little crop was growing on the edge of the village, which was also deserted.

If you hadn't been here in person, you would have found it hard to believe that there were people living in such a remote and poor place.

Xia Yong looked at his phone, but there was no signal at all.

Xia Yong saw the villagers standing not far away and looking at him, these villagers were skinny, wearing clothes that were about to rot, and their expressions were blank, Xia Yong sighed secretly: These people can't get out of this ravine for the rest of their lives because of poverty.

Xia Yong suddenly noticed that Qiu Tian was also looking at those villagers, and the eyes of the world were very heavy.

Comrade Liu carried a black backpack and walked towards the entrance of the village with a gloomy face, and Xia Yong and Qiu Tian also followed. When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that some villagers were already waiting there, and there were three broken wooden tables and wooden chairs in the middle of the meadow.

Huang Zhonghou squatted next to the big tree, and when he saw Comrade Liu, he immediately got up to meet him, and said nervously: "Special ...... Expert. ”

Comrade Liu asked coldly: "Have all the people arrived?" ”

Huang Zhonghou replied nervously: "Yes, it will be fine immediately, I will call someone to shout." With that, he sent two more villagers to call for help.

Comrade Liu asked: "Where is the source of drinking water in your village?" ”

Huang Zhonghou said: "Report, there is an old well in the center of our village, and we all drink the water from that well. ”

There were more and more villagers on the grass at the entrance of the village, and after a while, everyone was all together and stood in a bunch.

Comrade Liu, Xia Yong and Qiu Tian sat down, Comrade Liu looked at the villagers, and then at the tablet, he took out two ultra-thin instruments from his backpack and handed them to Xia Yong and Qiu Tian. When the two of them looked at it, it turned out to be two very advanced 10-inch touchscreen laptops.

After the two laptops were turned on, one ran the recording program, and the other showed a map of Huangjia Village and the surrounding mountains taken by satellites. With that, he walked into the village with a black backpack on his back.

Xia Yong and Qiu Tian looked at the villagers of Huangjia Village, these villagers were ragged, their eyes were desperate, their expressions were blank, and they were lifeless. The villagers were silent, standing in place, as if waiting for Xia Yong and Qiu Tian's orders.

Xia Yong thought to himself, it was really strange that more than twenty people were missing in this place.

The surroundings were very quiet, Xia Yong cleared his throat and said: "Fellow villagers, my name is Xia Yong, this is Qiu Tian, we are all policemen, and we are here to deal with the disappearance of some villagers in your village, please rest assured, we will find the missing villagers soon." "In the front row stood a girl who had been seven or eight months pregnant, at most sixteen years old, with a pale face, messy hair, red and swollen eyes, and seemed to have cried many times. The girl had been trembling, and suddenly she burst into tears, and the other villagers were in a commotion. Xia Yong understood that the girl's husband must be one of the missing people, and more than 20 people mysteriously disappeared here in a row, which must have caused great panic to the villagers.

Xia Yong began to investigate, starting with the information of the first missing villager, and this kind of work was very familiar to him. Qiu Tian recorded on the side, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

Soon in the afternoon, the sun was dazzling, Comrade Liu walked back from the village, he walked up to Xia Yong and Qiu Tian with a straight face, and asked coldly: "What did you find?" ”

Xia Yong said: "I don't have a clue yet. He continued: "These villagers disappeared at different times and in different places, and they went into the mountains, some digging vegetables, some hunting, some collecting medicine, and some exploring the mountains, all with different purposes and no obvious commonality." Strangely, the reason for the disappearance of these villagers has not yet been found. ”

Comrade Liu said coldly: "There is nothing suspicious? ”

Xia Yong thought for a while and said: "Some villagers said that the mountains are haunted, I asked a few villagers, and they were just rumors, and no one had really seen anything special." ”

Comrade Liu's expression was very grim, he looked at the information collected by Xia Yong and Qiu Tian, and then operated the laptop computer that displayed the map, which immediately turned into a real-time image of Huangjia Village taken by satellite, and even Comrade Liu and others could be seen on the grass at the entrance of the village.

Xia Yong was surprised: there were satellites cooperating with Comrade Liu's actions!

Comrade Liu transferred the data from the laptop to the tablet and said, "Let's go, go up the mountain." ”

Xia Yong sighed and said, "With so many routes, where are we going?" ”

Comrade Liu looked at the tablet and said, "Let's go north." Xia Yong and Qiu Tian glanced at the tablet in Comrade Liu's hand and suddenly found something special.

The flat screen shows a map of Huangjia Village and the surrounding mountains, and in the mountains to the north of Huangjia Village, there is a red circle.

Xia Yong secretly thought, to find some missing villagers in such a remote small village, still need to use satellites? As for it? What does that red circle represent? He didn't think much about it, and immediately went to the scene of the disappearance of the villagers to investigate, and maybe found clues.

Led by a dog, the group made their way through the valley and climbed a hill to the north along a route taken by a missing villager. The little dog walked while introducing the villagers' usual activity area, Xia Yong was still very disappointed after careful investigation, here you can see the grass and trees broken, all of which are the traces left by the villagers of Huangjia Village and Huang Dafeng when they led people to search the mountain, but there is nothing else special. It seems that even if there were some clues, they were destroyed by the search and rescue team led by Huang Dafeng and the storm.

When everyone reached the top of the mountain, Xia Yong wiped the sweat on his face and looked into the distance, full of continuous mountains. Comrade Liu kept holding a strange detector along the way, and when he reached the top of the mountain, Comrade Liu took out two strange instruments to test the surrounding air, soil, and plants. When Xia Yong was collecting information in the morning, he saw Comrade Liu testing these things around the village. Is the search for missing villagers related to testing these things? Xia Yong walked up to Comrade Liu and asked, "Comrade Liu, what are the results of the test?" ”

Comrade Liu had a gloomy face and did not speak.
