When Goro Iizuka realized that he was the missing person, he was completely stupid.

He stood still, looked around, and clenched his gun tightly.

The memories of Goro Iizuka and the contents of Muta's diary were compiled by the National Police Department of T in chronological order, so the former paragraph may be Muta's subjective record, and the latter paragraph is the narrative of Goro Iizuka.

At the same time as Iizuka Goro disappeared, Muta's Noguchi side also received the last news from the besieged Japanese brigade, saying that their defensive line had been breached.

In other words, Muta's reinforcements failed, and they did not have any need to continue fighting against the Chinese army that was blocking, so there were only two options at the moment, either retreat or start searching for the missing soldiers.

Within an hour, only 15 soldiers were killed in battle, and as many as 300 were missing.

Therefore, Mutanoguchi ordered the soldiers to start looking on the spot, but not too far away from the team, after all, the soldiers suddenly disappeared around.

But why is this happening? Why do people disappear out of thin air?

Mutanoguchi temporarily hid the matter from his superiors, he gave himself eight hours, and if he could not find the missing soldier within eight hours, he could only go back with the rest of the people.

How did 300 people disappear? Mutian Noguchi frowned, and at this moment, another bad news came - the military Cao Iizuka Goro also disappeared.

Mutanoguchi immediately ran to Goro Iizuka's squadron to inquire, he felt that this was a breakthrough, 300 people were missing before, and this time it was one person who was missing, it was easier to find 1 person than 300 people, right?

But it's not simple, according to Iizuka Goro's subordinates, Iizuka disappeared only after going to another squadron dozens of meters away to find his fellow villagers, but just a few dozen meters away, Iizuka suddenly disappeared.

Mutanoguchi was angry and puzzled, he really couldn't understand how all this happened.

On Goro Iizuka's side, he searched around again, but still did not find anyone from the original unit, but he encountered a group of Chinese soldiers.

Wei Chiran saw this and asked Suo Ning: "The Chinese soldier that Iizuka Goro met here is the reconnaissance squad sent out by Dai Guoan, right?" ”

Suo Ning said: "That's right, it's that reconnaissance squad, after Iizuka met them, the two sides started a shootout, but soon they found out that the weapons in their hands couldn't hurt each other." ”

Wei Chiran frowned, subconsciously looked at Fang Xunyi, and took the information to Fang Xunyi.

Bao Junhao also got up, walked behind Fang Xunyi, and watched with him.

After the two of them finished reading the previous one, they looked at each other again, and still couldn't understand why.

However, it is almost certain that the disappearance does not seem to have anything to do with the building, but rather a direct connection to the land below.

The three of them continued to look down, and after Iizuka Goro and the expeditionary soldiers of that squad realized that they could not kill each other, they were in a stalemate for a long time, and it was a shame to surrender in the Japanese army, so Iizuka Goro decided to engage in a white-knuckle battle, killing one and counting one.

Just after he raised his bayonet and rushed towards the soldiers of the expeditionary force, he was hit by concentrated firepower, but he was not injured, and at the moment when his bayonet stabbed one of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, Goro Iizuka felt that he had not been stabbed by anything, and he pounced directly because of his force, and at the moment of pounce on the man, he pounced and fell directly to the ground.

At this time, Iizuka Goro and the soldiers of the expeditionary force discovered a surprising fact, that is, they could see each other, but they could not touch each other, so the weapons in their hands naturally could not hurt each other.

The two sides went from being hostile to tentatively touching each other, and even began to communicate with gestures, because they didn't know what was going on.

In the end, the soldiers of the expeditionary force decided to return to their original troops, but Iizuka Goro was worried because he was within the scope of his original troops, what should he do?

At the same time, he also found that he had been here all night, and it was supposed to be dawn, but it was still dark in the jungle.

Iizuka Goro didn't have a watch, and he didn't know the exact time, so he could only observe the sky through the gaps in the dense woods, and finally climbed the tree, but what he saw was the vast starry sky.

Iizuka Gorou just watched like that for a long time, and waited there all the time, he was also sleepy, and decided to sleep for a while.

When I woke up from this sleep, Iizuka Goro found that it was still at night, could it be said that he had slept during the day?

Gorou Iizuka decided not to sleep anymore and waited for the day to come with peace of mind, at least he had to do a verification, right?

However, after holding on for almost ten hours, Goro Iizuka still did not see the dawn of the day, and he began to panic and fall into despair, he decided to return to the base camp, so he immediately set out on the road after resting.

Who knows, this time on the road, Iizuka Goro actually went around again, returned to the same place, and returned to the place where he set off before.

Goro Iizuka fell into despair, and in the end he made a decision to commit suicide.

Suicide and martyrdom was a very honorable thing for the Japanese who were brainwashed by Japanese militarism at that time, and it was a great shame if you were captured or trapped to death. So, instead of being trapped here, it's better to kill yourself.

So, Iizuka Goro happily shot himself in the head.

Iizuka Goro, who was supposed to die, woke up after an unknown amount of time, and when he woke up, he found that he was still lying in place, but it was daylight.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Goro Iizuka knew that he might have escaped, so he immediately returned to the base camp.

At this time, Mutanoguchi had already returned to the base camp with his troops, and it had been three days since that blockade battle. For the past three days, Mutanoguchi has been under investigation by the Japanese military police, because no one will believe his words, but the strange thing is that Mutanoguchi's troops from top to bottom insist that their commander is not lying.

At this time, Goro Iizuka, who had disappeared, returned to the base camp, and he was immediately taken to the gendarmerie headquarters for investigation and questioning.

After stating the reason for the incident, the gendarmerie still refused to accept such a ridiculous statement, but it did not deal with anyone, not because the law did not blame the public, but because the matter was too weird.

After reading the information, Wei Chiran frowned and said: "In other words, from beginning to end, the number of missing people in this area should be 338, and you have to count the 300 missing Japanese soldiers?" ”

Suo Ning said: "No, it's 348 people." ”

Wei Chi suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, you have to count the 10 people of the expeditionary force." ”

Fang Xunyi asked on the side: "There is a question, Iizuka Goro didn't go out of that area and went back, but what happened to the 10 people in that squad of the expeditionary force?" ”

Why did Iizuka Goro go around in a circle and return to the same place, it stands to reason that those 10 people should be like him and be able to return to the same place, but why didn't they?

However, Wei Chiran had another doubt in his heart, such a detailed information, Suo Ning can get it, this part of the information doesn't even seem to be PW, if there is, the lone army would have given it to him a long time ago.

Therefore, Suo Ning's identity is not so simple.

Wei Chi decided to continue the temptation, so he asked: "After Xiang Jingdi got his brother's inheritance, obtained the ownership of this building, and started to offer a reward, do you have the details of the 26 people who came to find the secret?" ”

Suo Ning shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't make any sense, because it doesn't matter." ”

Doesn't it matter?

Why did Wei Chiran feel that it was very important.

The meal finally ended with a clueless discussion, and after the meal, Wei Chi Ran and Fang Xunyi returned to their respective rooms, but Bao Junhao stayed in Suo Ning's room, and the two of them did not shy away from others, and almost made their relationship public.

This Bao Junhao seems to have the means.

Wei Chi returned to the room and opened the software, and found that the software had finished synthesizing the sound, he listened carefully, and it was indeed the content of the conversation between him and Suo Ning in the room, which was very clear, just like the sound recorded between the two.

Fang Xunyi's phone also called, and he asked, "Maybe we have to dig three feet into the ground, maybe the secret is hidden in the ground?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "I think the core content now is, why did Xiang Jingtian buy this building and why did he live in it?" I think that's the crux of the whole issue. ”

Fang Xunyi pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, he bought so many strange buildings, why is he so interested in this Diming Building?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "I will contact Xiang Hua." ”

Fang Xunyi asked, "What are you contacting Xiang Hua for?" ”

Wei said slowly: "Ask about the previous situation." ”

Wei Chiran took a pen and wrote on the paper—

In 1943, the first time he disappeared, 300 Japanese soldiers and 10 expeditionary forces;

In 1967, he disappeared for the second time, and Xiang Jingtian's family was 7 people;

From 1968 to 1978, the third mass disappearance, 26 people were investigated;

In 1982, he disappeared for the fourth time, with 5 police officers.

A total of 348 people are missing.

Wei Chi looked at the three digits, and felt fear from the bottom of his heart, in the past seventy years, the number of people missing in this land was as high as more than three hundred.

It makes no sense to investigate the identity and background of the more than 300 Japanese soldiers and 10 expeditionary forces, and the most important thing now is the 26 investigators.

Two questions, why did Xiang Jingtian live in it with his family? Why are you so interested in the Earth Tower?

The second question, why did Xiang Jingdi insist on investigating why his brother disappeared? It stands to reason that it should have been given up a long time ago, so why insist on it?

Motivation! The most important thing is motivation.

Wei Chiran looked at the numbers on the paper and dialed Xiang Hua's phone, and Xiang Hua immediately picked it up, indicating that he had been waiting for the phone to ring.

Wei Chiran asked directly: "Mr. Xiang Hua, I want to know the details of Mr. Big's father, that is, Mr. Xiang Jingdi's first reward, the details of the 26 people who came to apply, if I guess correctly, Mr. Xiang Jingdi should have left information." ”

Xiang Hua replied immediately: "There is no information left, it is all damaged." ”

Wei Chiran was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Xiang Hua said: "I don't know either. ”

This is strange, why didn't Xiang Jingdi keep the investigator's information?

Xiang Hua asked rhetorically: "Why keep it?" You know, maybe there are criminals among these investigators? The old man was just to investigate the truth, and he didn't ask about the identity of the investigator, his purpose was very simple. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Can I talk to Mr. Big directly?" ”

Xiang Hua refused tactfully: "Mr. Big is very busy, what do you tell me is the same." ”

In other words, Xiang Jin refused to communicate directly with him.
