14. Come back
According to a police officer who met Mou Xiaotian in Zuihou, he and Mou Xiaotian had lunch together at the resort at noon that day, and then Mou Xiaotian returned to work in the temporary office, while he went to have a private interview with the Huilongwan staff as usual. The interview went through until the sun went down and the officer went back to his makeshift office to rest, but knocked on the office door for a long time but no one answered. After finding a waiter to open the door, he found that Mu Xiaotian was not in the house, the computer was still on, and there was still half of the retrieved list information on it, and his mobile phone was also thrown on the table.
The police officer thought that Mu Xiaotian had just gone out for a walk, but after waiting for more than an hour, Mu Xiaotian did not come back. The officer realized that something might be wrong and immediately contacted other police officers in Huilong Bay, and then the police team began to organize a search, focusing on the cave where the human bones were found, but no clues were found in Mu Xiaotian.
Similar to the previous two disappearances, the surveillance of the No. 1 Hotel building did not capture any suspicious characters entering and leaving, let alone seeing Mu Xiaotian leave, he seemed to have completely disappeared from the building.
A day later, a forest ranger who assisted the police in searching the mountain found Mou Xiaotian's clothes in the mountain.
Weishenme disappeared from civilian tourists to police? Is it that Mu Xiaotian's investigation has already made the pharmacist feel in crisis?
Mu Xiaotian, who was only abducted by the pharmacist, did not damage the computer equipment, and even if the computer equipment was destroyed, it was completely impossible to prevent the police from investigating.
The purpose of a pharmacist is obviously not so simple.
The police investigation did not make any valuable progress. All the travelers, as well as the employees at the resort, had more or less evidence that it was impossible to commit the crime, and the investigation was completely at a dead end.
The police are at a loss for what to do with the case, and I don't know how to proceed either. Seeing that time passed like this day by day, it was impossible for us to all waste it here, so I booked a ticket for Shu Xin to go back to work, while Qiao Wei and I continued to wait here for a few days to see the situation.
The day after Shu Xin left, Qiao Wei and Zhu Yue returned to Huilongwan Resort, this time focusing our investigation on the resort itself. We approached the owner of the resort and asked him what the resort's predecessor was.
The owner told us that the resort used to be a wasteland, and there were not many people living here, and that the people who lived here took the money and left when the place was developed, and now it is impossible to find the aborigines.
Qiao Wei asked the boss if something strange had happened on the fourth floor of the No. 3 Hotel Building.
The only strange thing the boss could come up with was the two girls who disappeared more than half a month ago.
I then asked him what Building 3 was before it was developed.
This time the boss's answer finally became valuable. He said that it was originally a dirt hill more than ten meters high, but later it was blown up for the overall development plan, and Building No. 3 was built on the location of the original dirt mountain.
The undead pharmacist skinned in the cave, apparently the bombed dirt mountain used to be the place where the pharmacist skinned and killed, but now it has become a resort building, and the pharmacist directly chose to hunt here. There are corpse pits in the mountains, and this was once a hunting ground, and this pharmacist may not have only one hiding place, but the entire deep mountains and forests of Shennongjia may be full of his hiding place.
This monster, which has survived for 2,000 years, may have killed tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people. No one could find him before, but now we can find him? I don't really have much confidence this time.
Later, we visited the police captain who was in charge of investigating the serial disappearances in Huilongwan, and told him our hypothesis that the abductor might have multiple hiding holes.
But this information does not mean much to the police. The captain of the police force felt that this abductor was like a wild man hidden deep in the mountains, and people had gone to Shennongjia countless times for decades to look for the wild man, but no one had ever really found the wild man; Now that the abductor has been hiding in the mountains for decades, I am afraid that an army may not be able to find him when he comes to search the mountains.
Despite his words, the police force then increased the number of search personnel, not only the police participated in the operation, but even all the forest rangers and relevant staff of the Shennongjia Mountain Forest Tourism Area also participated in the personnel search and rescue operation.
The three of us didn't participate in the search, but we didn't go back to Wang Yongzhi either, we went directly to Huilongwan Resort and stayed there to wait for the results. Because catching this abductor is also a good thing for Huilong Bay Resort, our room money resort owner does not take a penny, and even the food money is free.
Mu Xiaotian has been missing for four days, and the four-day search and rescue has yielded nothing. On the fifth day, the search and rescue team further expanded the scope of the inspection, and also sent a small number of people back to the cave where the bones were first found. When the sun set, the search and rescue team did not bring back any good news.
When a ray of sunlight disappeared from the side of the mountain, the moon gradually took over the night sky, and after two hours, the moon gradually turned red.
It's been more than half a month since I arrived in Shennongjia, and I don't know how many blood moons I've had. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this blood moon phenomenon, and whenever there is a thick fog in the mountains, the moon seems to turn this orange-red.
After dinner, the three of us sat by the central viewing pond in the resort.
Two security guards at the resort walked out of the side door of the restaurant carrying a skinned raw sheep and headed in the direction of the gate. This is not the first time we have seen this, but the sheep hanging at the door are carried back the next day, and it seems that the savages or skinners are not interested in these animals.
At this moment, the two security guards carrying the sheep suddenly exclaimed, and then one of them turned around and ran towards the resort, shouting as he ran: "Come on! The missing man is back! Come on! ”
The three of us jumped up from the bench by the pond and ran towards the gate, where I saw a man staggering from the outside towards the resort, and the other security guard, who had been carrying the sheep, stood completely stunned.
The man was wearing nothing, and his legs were covered in tiny wounds that looked like he had walked back barefoot and scratched. I have indeed seen his face, I have seen it in the photo, it is one of the insurance company employees who disappeared before, his name is Sun Jili.
Sun Jili came back, and he came back like this inexplicably, but the other person who disappeared with him died, this is weishenme? I was anxious to know the answer, but Sun Jili chose not to talk about it.
Huilongwan Resort arranged for Sun Jili to rest in the most haode room, and then a large number of police officers arrived at the resort in less than five minutes, and then the doctor also came. Like the two sisters, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, Sun Jili refused to say what had happened in the eleven days since he disappeared.
The police told him that Xia Bing and Xia Xue had a decline in their organs on the fourth day after they returned, and that they had both passed away. I, Qiao Wei, and Zhu Yue were all in the room when the police said these words, and we all clearly saw the extremely frightened expression on Sun Jili's face, but Zuihou He still chose to keep his mouth shut tightly and refused to say a word at all.
