Chapter 16 Bait
In the dark, the two clues quietly intersected.
This seems to indicate something.
He Wei remembered a lot of things and a lot of possibilities, but these things were very messy and couldn't be connected in the end.
"A ...... Cult cults related to hair? Kidnap people with the kind of genes that make hair thicker, sacrifice to the gods, and please the gods? Or make your hair thicker? Could it be that these cultists are all bald? A bunch of psychopathic bald people? ”
But Sun Yong, who has a major suspicion, is obviously not bald. Well, maybe it's a wig. However, the Rag.1 gene is not the only gene that determines hair thickness, and it is not even dominant. This is also a bit unreasonable.
Quietly, almost subconsciously, He Wei identified the mysterious organization as a mysterious cult. The statue, which originally couldn't see anything, seemed to have a little more mysterious and weird meaning in her eyes at this moment.
Its slightly large eyes, slightly distorted face, slightly open mouth, and slightly thin body all form a strange figure that seems to be sneering at itself.
At this time, the bracelet on Lu Qingliang's wrist vibrate. He raised his arm to look at it, and then said, "Captain, the results of the material examination of this statue have preliminarily shown that it is not some kind of wood that makes up this statue, but some kind of material that we have no understanding at all. Further examination and analysis are ongoing. ”
This obviously reinforces the possibility that this is an extraterrestrial creation, and further exacerbates the possibility that this mysterious organization, or mysterious cult, is connected to some kind of "supernatural force".
Zhang Dingshan nodded, still pondering.
He Wei and Lu Qingliang also have their own hearts.
At this moment, one of the most important questions facing the Action 2 team is, what is the next step? What's next?
Sun Yong's unexpected disappearance caused another cloud to be cast on the route that was originally a broad avenue.
This path is no longer possible. But where is the rest of the way?
"This statue ...... It's an important clue. ”
Zhang Dingshan said: "Qingliang, the next step, you have to check the past case files, whether there have been cases containing this statue element." At the same time, at the same time, ......"
Zhang Dingshan groaned slightly. After a while, he said: "In the folk and religious circles, we should also check to see if we can find the source of this image worship." ”
After a few major religions that have been universally recognized by the world have emerged and been fixed from the primitive worship of the ancestors, all the newly born religions that follow, whether they are cults or not, will always have a few shadows of the great religions in their doctrines and images.
At the end of the day, a few major religions have almost all encompassed the types of worship. It is difficult for the subsequent religions to find another way, and most of them are tampering with or merging the original teachings of the major religions, and they become a new religion after a transformation.
For example, the famous cult "Maitreya" was born out of Buddhism. The White Lotus Sect, which has rebelled many times, was also born out of Buddhism, which also incorporated some Taoist elements.
According to this law, if there is a cult behind the statue in front of Zhang Dingshan at this moment, then this cult is also very likely to have been born out of the existing religious worship.
Investigation in the folklore and religious circles may reveal its roots.
Lu Qingliang perked up: "Yes." ”
"He Wei, you have to follow the list in your hand to verify one by one whether the personnel have been killed at this stage and whether they have died."
This list is the list of people with the Rag.1 gene that Yang Jun, the director of the human gene bank, sold to the wealthy Sun Yong as an add-on.
At this stage, Zhang Dingshan highly suspects that the mysterious organization or cult is choosing its targets according to this list.
"If the person has been killed, then determine the type of killing, whether it is a 'normal death' diagnosed by the hospital, or an inexplicable disappearance, where no one is alive or dead. Try again to see if you can do a follow-up investigation, and maybe you can find more clues. ”
He Wei was also in good spirits: "Yes! ”
"and ......"
Zhang Dingshan's words were not finished.
"You have to start organizing immediately, organize all the people who are on the list but have not been killed, including their children who may have inherited this gene, or their parents and close relatives who have inherited this gene, and transport them to Lu Ming!"
At this moment, near the explosion site, the place where Lu Ming is located is still a military restricted area. It is heavily garrisoned.
He Wei's heart was shocked.
Zhang Dingshan's intentions are obvious.
According to previous clues, it is very likely that this mysterious cult has "indicators" for committing crimes. This requires them to commit a crime every once in a while.
Then now, I will isolate and protect all the people who may be your targets, and I will see how you still commit crimes!
He Wei did a quick mental arithmetic.
There weren't many people on that list, just over 500.
Of course, the number of people with that special gene in the entire human world is not only that. But the vast majority of people have not been tested for their genes. Now these people are people who have clearly possessed this gene.
Moreover, this list is more than two years ago, and it has not been updated in this time.
During this time, a significant number of these 500 people may have been killed. is like Lu Ming, just like the other four victims who were screened in advance.
Counting close relatives, the total number of people who need to be quarantined and protected will not exceed 3,000 or even less. The task is not daunting.
As for the reason, it's easy to find. For example, extras, documentaries, sociological experiments, etc., just find one. As long as the money is in place — and there are few restrictions on the funding of the Operations Department for a valid reason — He Wei doesn't believe they won't come.
Even if a few people refuse to come, it doesn't matter. The reduction in personnel means that the second team can concentrate the surreptitious surveillance force more on a small number of people. When the time comes, these people may be bait, and they may be able to catch big fish.
"Understood. It's just that Captain, after Sun Yong bought that list, it has been more than two years now. During this time, many more people in the database of the human gene bank may have been tested. Do you want to count them again and include them in the scope of action? ”
Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment and shook his head decisively.
"It's bait, too. We need to do a good job of data protection, and if they dare to hack into the database to collect data, then let them come. ”
"Yes."
The tasks were assigned, and several people left separately.
However, Lu Qingliang, who has always been known for his abundant resources, wide connections, and good at dealing with people, soon discovered that he also did not know who to turn to and who to ask for help.
He first searched for information on all cases around the world since the beginning of the historical record.
This is not difficult, after all, this is the information age, a few lines of code, plus some manual screening can be done.
The result was nothing.
Of course, there are many cases of cults, and there are also many cases of crimes committed because of certain small-scale religious worship in the locality, but the statues of the gods and spirits they worship and the teachings of the cult have nothing to do with the sculpture and the elements of the "hair."
It seems that this mysterious cult with certain hair elements has never been exposed to the security forces of the human world.
On the other hand, he found a number of folklore and religious experts on the Internet, and consulted them about the worship customs related to the statue, but still found nothing.
Experts have not found anything similar to it among the known types of worship.
It seems that this mysterious cult has never appeared in the field of folklore and religion.
They do not preach, they do not propagate, they hide themselves as much as possible, they never divulge any information about themselves to the outside world, they are like shadows, they are always hidden in the shadows, and they are never exposed to the sun.
"This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't know where to start......"
Lu Qing's conscience couldn't help but wail.
He had no choice but to expand the scope of his search again, and even publish the image of the statue on some public forums to a limited extent, in order to find more clues.
There are so many cults and religious customs that may exist all over the world. Two villages separated by only a few kilometers may have different religious variants and worship customs, and the images of the gods may be very different.
At this moment, the only thing Lu Qingliang is looking forward to is that after expanding the scope of the search, there will be clues that will take the initiative to jump out.
On the other hand, He Wei's actions were quite smooth.
After getting the list and making a simple count, He Wei found that in addition to those who had enough evidence to prove that they died normally, such as car accidents and surgical diseases, there were about 200 people who died in the hospital due to sudden illnesses. This figure is in line with the previous estimate that the average number of people who are "kidnapped" is about 100 per year.
Among them, two cases caught He Wei's attention.
Because these two people are not dead, but, missing.
At the time node, after the second team discovered the modus operandi of the mysterious organization, they began to carry out large-scale investigations in various hospitals in the human world.
At this stage, of course, He Wei does not have enough evidence to prove that there must be "supernatural forces" behind the disappearance of these two people, but the suspicion cannot be ruled out. Even, the moment she saw these two people, He Wei made a judgment in her heart.
"This must be the cult that changed its modus operandi and began to kidnap people through 'disappearance' after confirming that the method of fake death from the hospital was extremely risky."
