Jiang Shaoyan answered the phone and told me that it was the old chief who called, and asked us to go back to the provincial hall for a meeting immediately.

I was stimulated by the words of the old chief, and I said Jiang Shaoyan's chief?

What is Jiang Shaoyan's status in the provincial department? Everyone is polite to him, can he be his chief? Think about it, what can't be a central-level person?

I also asked on a case-by-case basis, "What meeting?" Is it related to the case of the black boss? ”

It's not that I'm foolish, we only caught the black boss yesterday, and there is probably a connection between the two.

Jiang Shaoyan shook his head and replied, "What is the case of the black boss?" If you can alarm the old chief, it is a great thing. ”

I was so nervous that I felt apprehensive even along the way after I set off.

When we returned to the provincial hall, we had another small meeting, which, according to Jiang Shaoyan, would be held in half an hour. I think there is still some time, so I can not be so rigid and walk around, but Jiang Shaoyan disagreed, and told me in the way of an order that I was sitting on the board of the conference room.

Even the iron donkey was abnormal, he didn't doze off, and took out a military posture.

I was so embarrassed by this atmosphere that I had no choice but to accompany them. In addition, I found that it seemed that it was only us who attended the meeting, and Yin Yin and the old cat had no intention of coming.

After more than ten minutes like this, someone walked in. I know her, she is a civilian policewoman in the provincial department.

I was very surprised, and I said that she was an old chief? Not to mention, it's hidden deep enough.

With a sense of surprise and incredibleness, I hurriedly stood up and saluted her.

Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey were stunned, and the policewoman also stared at me. The iron donkey reached out and tugged at my clothes and told me to sit down again.

I was wondering what to do, but the iron donkey said, "Apprentice, is that what you do?" Salute when you see a beautiful woman? ”

I see, co-authoring her is not an old chief, I think it's bad. I smiled awkwardly, even if I brought it over.

The policewoman was holding a lot of things in her hands, conference microphones, speakers, and projectors. She came to the conference table and assembled it in an orderly manner.

I see that she is a little tired of doing these alone, and I wanted to help, but when it comes to totaling, forget it, don't be "courteous" by yourself, otherwise I will be talked about by the iron donkey.

I didn't move, and when the equipment was assembled, she stood by honestly.

We waited until ten o'clock, and it was really punctual, and there was a voice from the stereo, which was from the old chief.

It's old, and it has a pointy feel. This is not the voice of a normal person, I guess the old chief must have been injured in some way, and it is obvious that this is an online conference.

The old chief asked us, "Are they all here?" ”

Although the old chief couldn't see it, Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey both stood up straight, and I hurriedly learned. Jiang Shaoyan took the lead in answering, "Members of the special case team, crows, iron donkeys, and mages are here!" ”

I also blamed myself for being too funny, and when I heard the mage, I didn't react, and I said in my heart, who is this? But then I was stunned, and the heart mage was my code name in the special case team, right?

The old chief responded. We sat down again.

The old chief said to the policewoman again, "Girl, put the first set of films." ”

The policewoman turned on the projector, and I saw ten pictures on the screen in turn, with deserts and shrubs, some gravel and small lonely mountains. This is a typical Gobi landscape.

The old chief was very accurate, and when he knew that the policewoman had finished the film, he asked us again, "What do you think of this film?" ”

I looked at Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey, they were very strange, they were silent after watching the film, and their faces were not even very good-looking.

I wondered, because there were no corpses or blood on this film, it was obvious that it was just a landscape painting, how could they all become so depressed?

Seeing that no one answered, the old chief actually had a soft spot for me and asked, "Master, tell me about it!" ”

I was purely subconscious, as if I had been called by the teacher in class, I swooped to my feet and replied in a slightly nervous tone, "Sir, is our next task to go to the Gobi to investigate the terrain?" ”

The old chief didn't reply for a long time, but the policewoman couldn't help but smile and grin at me.

I also know that it's a bit funny to ask myself, but the problem is, I really can't think of any other answer. I sat back slowly.

After a while, Jiang Shaoyan sighed and answered, he was very helpless, and said as if talking to himself, "This Gobi Desert is really a place with a story, forty years ago, the Wufan organization of the Northern Tiger Force, the predecessor of the special case team, had a big battle here. ”

The iron donkey also answered, "The ten brothers of Batu almost all died here in order to cover the scientific research couple. ”

I don't know Batu, but I can tell that he is a senior of the special case team. I thought, forty years ago, what kind of concept, if Batu was still alive, wouldn't he be in his seventies? I'm going to have to call him grandpa?

The old chief just hummed, did not say anything, and asked the policewoman to put down a set of films.

This time, the information is very strange, first the personal portraits and profiles of more than 20 people, followed by the information of a tour group.

The old chief explained to us, "This is a tour group called Red Star, which took a group of tourists to the vicinity of Jimo County for sightseeing, but there was a fork in the way, this tour group did not follow the original route, but deviated from the direction, and ran to a place a hundred miles southwest of Jimo County, and finally disappeared mysteriously. ”

I was surprised, because the word disappear is too ruthless, more than 20 people, how can you say that there is no and there is none?

And that's not all, the policewoman put one last picture, which is a top view.

The old chief said, "The place 100 miles southwest of the county is very strange, and from the data transmitted by the satellite, it is all dark here, and there is no specific scenery at all." And judging from the information we have before, this is likely to be the location of the Corpse Country. ”

Jiang Shaoyan and Tie Donkey stood up completely, leaned in front of the screen, and frowned. And I didn't move at all, I still sat in my chair.

I heard Jiang Shaoyan talk about three places before, the Holy Land, the Corpse Country and the Ghost Island.

I know exactly what the Holy Land is like, and I have just finished dealing with the Demon Heart Arhat case. I didn't expect that so soon, we would have to face the country of corpses again. I even connected one thing, and the end is the territory of the ancient Western Regions, where the dried corpses and ancient tombs are very famous, could it be that there is also some connection between the two?

We didn't rush to say anything, but after a dull moment, the old chief spoke, "This mission is to investigate the cause of the disappearance of the tour group, and also to find out what happened to them?" Also, be sure to get rid of the corpse country. ”

Jiang Shaoyan responded very formally and asked when he would leave.

The old chief said, "The equipment and weapons needed will be directly transported to Jimo County in two days, and you can arrive in Jimo County in these two days." ”

During the meeting, the old chief kept coughing, and when he was down to business, he didn't want to say anything more at all, and withdrew Mike.

The policewoman hurriedly packed up her equipment and said that the meeting was over.

I can perceive that Jiang Shaoyan and Tie Donkey also don't know much about this mission, and they don't know the specific situation, so I didn't ask too much.

Let's figure out how to get to the end of the county. I mean, it's a business trip anyway, by plane.

But I found that Jiang Shaoyan was quite picky, saying that it would take two days to do the train, and he immediately contacted and booked a train ticket.

I'm speechless.

Before we set off, we simply packed our luggage, in fact, we all felt that there was nothing to take, and when we went to the police station over there, we just had to ask them for anything. But Master suddenly came to me and told me something.

I was stunned and hurried to the research institute in the backyard of the provincial department.

Master took out a small packet of tin foil, and a small drop of yellow particles.

Master explained that these yellow particles were the eggs of the golden beetle, and asked me to put them all in the small ding, and in addition, in the future, I must use the tin foil he prepared.

I looked at the tin foil and found that it was pitted. I didn't talk to Master and asked directly, "What is the use of this tin foil?" “

Master said that this tin foil is breathable, otherwise it is tightly sealed, and there is a lack of oxygen in the small ding, how can it hatch gold beetles? After that, he repeatedly emphasized that this gold beetle is still a half-finished product, and it is not subject to discipline, and I must be absolutely careful when using it.

I was dumbfounded, I felt that the sentence of disobedience to discipline was too scary, and I couldn't understand why Master let me carry the eggs of the golden beetle, did it make me defend myself?

Master didn't talk to me much, but in the end I listened to him and put all the eggs in the magic ding.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, we left on time and boarded the long-distance train to Korla. Originally, I didn't like to make this kind of green car the most, I felt that it was tiring.

However, Jiang Shaoyan was not as picky as I thought, he set the upper, middle and lower three hard sleepers.

My brother and I happened to sleep next to each other.

As the so-called long road is long, I am afraid that the battery is not enough, and the signal on the road is always bad, so I don't play with my mobile phone much.

In the evening, the lights went out on the train, and I couldn't sleep on my stomach in the middle bunk, because I slept too much during the day.

I'm just thinking about things, I think of the Red Star Tours, and my heart says that its disappearance is a coincidence? Could there be any deliberate human factor? Otherwise, which tour group is stupid? Deviated from the original route and deviated by more than 100 miles?

In addition, the southwest of Moxian County is really scary, judging from the satellite data, it is dark, and I always feel that it is the territory of a dark force.

I was just thinking about it, and when I finally got a little sleepy, I just wanted to sleep, and someone pulled me with his hand.

I turned my head and saw that it was Jiang Shaoyan. He booed me, meaning not to disturb the other passengers, and quietly got out of bed and walked with him.

In addition, he stepped on the lower bunk, and stood like this to wake up the iron donkey.

Iron Donkey and I knew something must be wrong, and we followed him to the middle of the train carriage. It is also a smoking area.

Jiang Shaoyan grinned, took out good cigarettes and distributed them to the two of us, and emphasized that a friend bought them for him, so let us taste them.

I found that this was almost one of his signature moves, and whenever he had something, he would give everyone cigarettes like this.

Iron Donkey and I were like Spiegel in our hearts, we took the cigarette and smoked for a while, and I said in my heart that I should not hide it, so I took the initiative to ask, "Crow, what happened?" ”
