Chapter 30: Diary

"Do you mean to say that this time the prophecy is that the end of the world will organize the Ming Plank Road and the dark Chen Cang, misleading us on the surface, but it is aimed at the rest of the disciplines?"

Zhang Dingshan's expression was solemn.

"More than that."

Lu Ming shook his head: "My guess is that this earthquake, if the Doomsday Organization makes a prediction, then the target is ...... Probably all disciplines.

It is now only a month away from the prophesied end times. According to the previous line of thought, that is, if the Doomsday Organization believes that the end is real, then it is obviously impossible for them to be distracted and focus on absorbing foreign wisdom when the end is about to happen.

I speculate that before the end comes, they will most likely set a deadline and determine a deadline. After this event, the window to the outside world is closed, the prophecy stops, the wisdom is no longer absorbed, and the people concentrate on the coming end. ”

Zhang Dingshan nodded slowly.

Although Lu Ming's speculation still has no empirical basis, it has to be said that this is indeed in line with "human nature".

With the logic of normal people, normal people will most likely choose to do this.

"So, do you think that if this earthquake is predicted by the Doomsday Organization, it will be a cut-off prediction, and since it is a cut-off prediction, there is a high probability that it will not only face a few disciplines, but all disciplines?"

Lu Ming said: "This is the last chance to catch a profit, if you don't take advantage of this last opportunity to cast a wide net, will there be a chance in the future?" ”

Zhang Dingshan was silent.

I have to say that there is some truth in this speculation. In this case, the 26 suspects in earthquake-related scientific disciplines that we are currently concerned about have not been the slightest bit abnormal so far, which can be explained.

They weren't the target of Doomsday at all, they hadn't been prophesied at all, and there was certainly nothing out of the ordinary.

But...... If it is an all-discipline system, then the number of people who meet the screening criteria will be as high as more than 10,000.

With so many people, it is obvious that it is impossible to monitor them all closely.

Also, more than two days have passed since the earthquake struck. Have you missed a lot of things in the meantime?

"Strategies need to be adjusted immediately."

After perceiving that there might be a mistake in his previous decision-making, Zhang Dingshan immediately made a decision: "Disperse the surveillance force to the rest of the scientific disciplines." In view of the large number of people who cannot monitor all of them, I believe that surveillance efforts should be concentrated on a few key areas. ”

The key categories are those disciplines that are extremely important for the development of the wilderness after the apocalypse, such as breeding, agriculture, medicine, etc.

As for the rest of the non-key disciplines, although it is almost foreseeable that there will be suspects, in the current situation, they can only be abandoned.

There's no way around it.

"I agree."

At this time, Lu Qingliang's expression became gloomy.

"We shouldn't have to spy on them anymore."

"Oh?"

Lu Ming's heart was full of surprise.

"I found this while I was compiling lists and gathering information."

Lu Qingliang transferred some documents to the video conference room. Lu Ming opened one of them, glanced at it, and was immediately shocked in his heart.

"Regarding the receipt of the receipt of Lu Wenxue's disappearance.

At 10:17 a.m. on October 21, our bureau received Liu Chunfang (female, wife of the missing person; Nationality xxxx, age 49 years old, ID number: 130xxxx...... According to the report, her husband disappeared after leaving for work yesterday morning and has been missing for more than 24 hours.

After a preliminary investigation, our bureau confirmed that Lu Wenxue had disappeared. Follow-up investigations have been mobilized.

xxx Public Security Bureau. ”

Lu Wenwen is a mechanical expert. He has profound attainments in machine tool design and manufacturing. He is currently working in a mechanical research institute.

He is one of the more important suspects in the list drawn up by the Second Action Team.

Now, he's missing.

If it's just a person missing, it probably doesn't mean anything. But......

"Regarding the receipt of the acceptance of Wen Yancheng's disappearance.

At 10:07 p.m. on October 20, our bureau received a message from Wen Zheng (male, father of the missing person; Nationality xxxx, age 69 years old, ID number 130xxxx...... The report said that his son had not returned after a trip to buy groceries and was suspected to have disappeared.

After a preliminary investigation, our bureau confirmed that Wen Yancheng had disappeared. Follow-up investigations have been mobilized.

xxx Public Security Bureau. ”

Wen Yancheng is an emergency surgeon. He is proficient in handling first aid matters such as trauma, shock, and blood loss. Moreover, his theoretical research is extremely solid, and he has published more than a dozen papers in surgical emergency, which has caused many repercussions.

"Regarding the receipt of the acceptance of Li Hui's disappearance.

At 3 a.m. on October 21, our bureau received a report from XX that Li Hui was missing......"

Lu Ming looked at the general collection of documents and saw that the public security bureaus in various places received reports and issued acceptance receipts, totaling 236 copies.

This means that at least 236 people have gone missing in the key monitoring list of more than 10,000 people formulated by the Chinese side so far. And the number of people who are really missing is definitely higher than this number.

Because not everyone is around, the person has just disappeared for more than a day, and they notice that the other party is missing and report it.

The number of people who are really missing may even be as high as twice that number, or even higher!

It's not normal, it's definitely not normal.

None of the people on this list have gone missing in the past few months. About 5% of the people are missing, and all of them have been missing for about two days before the earthquake.

He Wei slapped the table hard, full of anger.

I don't know if I'm angry at the cunning of the Doomsday Organization, or angry at my own mistakes.

It's a shame that they didn't even perceive the Doomsday Organization's plan to hide the sky and the sea in advance, and even after the earthquake, they only focused their attention on the high-level intellectuals related to earthquakes and geology, wasting two precious days in vain!

Lu Ming felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He knew that He Wei was not targeting him. But he still felt that he was not doing his duty.

He felt he should have thought about this mistake earlier.

Zhang Dingshan shook his head slowly.

"It's not our mistake. Even if we had noticed this early on, more than 10,000 people, we would not have been able to monitor them all. This thing will always happen. We don't have anything to do about it. ”

Lu Qingliang nodded silently.

He Wei took a deep breath and calmed her emotions.

Zhang Dingshan continued slowly: "This time, the action of the Doomsday Organization looks like it is in a hurry...... didn't even do the previous cover-ups, and directly created the disappearance......"

He Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.

In a hurry, he no longer carried out the previous cover-up actions, and directly created the missing eucalyptus, plus this action was unprecedentedly large - every time he used to do it, the number of people was no more than twenty or thirty. This time, it could be in the hundreds.

This most likely means that in this operation, there is a high probability that the Doomsday Organization will reveal many flaws.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, and the number of people involved is large, and the possibility of leaving flaws increases. This is a very simple judgment to make.

"Let's check the families and life and work circles of these missing people, maybe there will be clues."

"Okay."

Before a full investigation can be conducted, the first thing that needs to be done is to further screen and count all the missing persons.

More than 10,000 people are involved, but the task is neither complicated nor difficult.

Lu Qingliang directly dismantled the list of more than 10,000 people into hundreds according to the person's place of origin and work unit, and then sent the dismantled list directly to the city or work unit where the target person was located, and then the local security personnel checked it.

If you can get in touch, it's not missing. If you can't contact it, you can make a preliminary investigation and see if it's missing or not.

So, just two hours later, all the missing people were screened out.

In addition to the missing persons who have been reported and accepted by the Public Security Bureau, another 225 missing persons have been screened out.

These people are all people who have not been noticed by the people around them because they have been missing for too short a time.

Combined, the total number of missing people rises to 461.

A total of 461 people are missing!

This time the action is not insignificant. However, because the missing persons were scattered in different places, belonged to different industries, and did not intersect with each other, no agency was aware of the anomalies in this disappearance before the second operation team.

After all, in normal life, a large number of people go missing every day.

According to statistics, on average, tens of thousands of people in the world go missing every day for nearly 10 billion people.

Of course, a large proportion of these missing persons will reappear in the coming period. But a considerable part of them will also disappear forever and never come back.

In this way, the 461 people who disappeared this time are inconspicuous compared to the average number of tens of thousands of people who go missing every day, and will not attract anyone's attention.

But now, naturally, the situation is different.

After counting the list of missing persons, Lu Qingliang still sat in the rear and provided logistical support, while Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming all went out and immediately rushed to various different cities as quickly as possible, and set up a command center to jointly coordinate the investigation of the 461 missing cases.

In the city where the missing persons were located, under the orders of the three men, a special team was immediately set up to immediately begin an investigation into the missing cases. The missing person's wife, parents, children, subordinates, superiors, colleagues, friends, and others were all taken into the spotlight by the special team and began to be questioned.

The bank cards, medical treatment, online activities, and surveillance of the missing persons have also been mobilized.

The focus of the investigation is on whether the missing person behaved abnormally before his or her disappearance.

As previously speculated - time is tight, tasks are heavy, and there are many people, and the Doomsday Organization will inevitably show flaws in this last deadline prophecy. Sure enough, as soon as the full investigation began, many clues emerged.

In the command center of a special group, Lu Ming saw an interrogation video reported by a security officer in another city.

In the picture, a well-groomed, but slightly emaciated middle-aged woman in her 40s is being questioned by security officers.

"Name?"

"Zhang Xue."

"Age?"

"43 years old."

After a period of regular questioning, the interrogation finally got to the point.

"Did your husband behave unusually before he disappeared?"

Lu Ming saw that Zhang Xue's expression was full of fear.

"Someone took him! Someone took Lao Wang away! You must save him, save him! ”

"Ms. Zhang, please rest assured that we will do our best to find out about this kidnapping, rescue the victims, and apprehend the criminals. Now, please cooperate with our inquiry. Excuse me, why do you think someone took your husband away? ”

"He, he, I peeked at his diary, he wrote in the diary, someone must have arrested him, by the way, what else is the end of the world......"

"Diary? Does your husband have a diary record? ”

"Yes."

"Where's that diary?"

"It's in the cabinet in the study."

"There could be a big clue here. We need to send someone to your house now to get this diary. Please rest assured that the whole process will be videotaped, and if there is any damage to the item, we will compensate in full. ”

"Good, good ......"

The screen switches for a moment. By the time you continue, an hour has passed.

At this moment, there was already a notebook in front of the vigilante.

Under the camera, the notebook was slowly opened, and the lens clearly displayed the contents of the diary in front of Lu Ming.

"October 16th.

Today I met a madman who told me that at 10:17 a.m. on November 19th, an asteroid will hit the earth, and the end of the world will come. Only by entering the Ark base can we avoid this apocalyptic disaster and rebuild human civilization in the post-disaster world. I, on the other hand, was the lucky chosen one, qualified to enter the Ark base.

Haha, if I hadn't never won a prize, I would have believed it. If there really is such a good thing, how can it be my turn? Besides, the end of the world, this old-fashioned scam is still used by anyone? Is it that there are too many fools who are too easy to deceive, so that scammers of this level can come out and do business?

I wasn't going to bother with him. But he also told me that at 3:07 p.m. on October 19, an earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale would strike in the Red Guard Forest area. If the prophecy of the earthquake is fulfilled, they will come and take me away to the base of the Ark to survive the apocalypse in a month's time. He also solemnly warned me not to tell anyone else about the prophecy.

Meaning, it's ridiculous. But it also added a little fun to today. It's a boring life. ”

This concludes this diary. Then, in the middle of the shot, the vigilante opens the second page.
