Bureau of Special Cases Investigation

Nie Yan came to the door, holding an umbrella with one hand, and took out a note in his pocket, with only four words written on it:

'Be careful Tang Xiao. 'What does Xu Haibin mean?Looking up and seeing Zhou Nan standing by the wall, Nie Yan quickly stuffed the note into his pocket.Handing the umbrella to Zhou Nan, the two of them strolled in the heavy rain, walking forward along the route when they came.

Nie Yan looked at Zhou Nan's profile and said, "Isn't it more convenient to drive?"

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "Don't drive lightly when you're not sure, that's what Tang Xiao told me."

Nie Yan thought of what the villager said earlier about the car falling off the cliff. After thinking about that scene, he still thought it would be better not to drive the mountain road in the heavy rain.Although the two experienced the girl's school incident together, they are not very familiar with each other. Nie Yan has nothing to do with Zhou Nan's affairs. In order to break the silence, Nie Yan asked with a smile:

"Zhou Nan, were you a soldier before?"

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I came from the countryside. I enlisted in the army when I was in college. During the military competition, I was favored by the company commander for my outstanding marksmanship. He directly transferred me to the frontier defense force."

"Border Guards! Zhou Nan, how did you get transferred to the Special Case Investigation Bureau?" This is too bad!Nie Yan exclaimed.

Zhou Nan was silent, as if recalling something bad, Nie Yan quickly waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, don't say it if you don't want to, I'm just asking."

"I was able to be transferred to the Special Case Investigation Bureau, thanks to Tang Xiao. If it wasn't for him, I would have been buried in that huge wildfire." Zhou Nan thought of the huge wildfire in Qinling, and the squad leader In the scene of desperately running with his back on his back, the eyes of the 1.8-meter-old boy suddenly became moist.

There was another silence, Zhou Nan fell into the memories of the past, while Nie Yan was thinking about Tang Xiao, and it had something to do with him.The heavy rain hit the umbrella like beans, making a crackling sound. Both he and Zhou Nan were wearing outdoor hiking shoes, which were waterproof, so there was no need to worry about getting wet.There were still tire marks on the road when they came here. Nie Yan felt that the villagers were lying, as long as they followed the tire marks, they could still walk out easily.

But his idea was slapped in the face at the third turning.The tire marks were gone, and there was only one road when we came, but there was a fork in this time.This... they went wrong?Looking back again, I found that the road behind me was gone, there were only towering trees behind, and there was no road at all!

"You wait for me here, don't move around." Zhou Nan took out the black knife from his backpack, drew a line on the trunk of a big tree, and then wrote on the trunk of another big tree with the black knife It's an orthographic.After finishing, he trotted to Nie Yan's side again.

"Are you making a mark?" Nie Yan asked.

Zhou Nan nodded, then picked up a wooden stick and said, "Let's go once more, hold this end of the stick, and don't let go. You can walk as I go." The girls' school took the Jiugong Bagua step, and planned to try their luck to see if they could walk out.Nie Yan held the umbrella with his right hand, held one end of the stick with his left hand, and Zhou Nan held the other end.Zhou Nan kept muttering, Nie Yan couldn't hear what Tai Tai said, and didn't dare to let go, and followed him closely, never leaving.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, the mountain road became steeper. There was an illusion, as if climbing up, and the pace became slower and slower.The fork in the road just now disappeared, but they came to a strange place again, this was not the way they entered the village, they were climbing a mountain!

"Zhou Nan, wait, something is wrong!" Nie Yan pulled the stick, Zhou Nan turned to look at him, frowning.It seems that he has also discovered the strangeness of this road, and it can really be owned by those villagers. If the rain doesn't stop, he will never be able to get out of this village.

"Are we climbing a mountain?" Zhou Nan asked back, he was a little confused and couldn't figure it out.

"I'll check the navigation on my phone," Nie Yan said.Let go of the wooden stick and take out the phone from your pocket. It doesn't matter if you don't check it, but you will be shocked if you check it!The mobile phone has no signal, no internet, and the pointer on the built-in compass APP is spinning crazily. Is there a magnetic field interfering nearby?

"Help! Help!"

The rain was loud, but it was still faintly possible to hear someone calling for help.

"Hold the stick." Zhou Nan said.Nie Yan grabbed the stick and Zhou Nan looked for the direction of the sound.

The mountain road in the rain is not easy to walk, let alone running, Nie Yan shouted as he ran:

"Where are you?"

"We're here!!!" The voice from not far away was getting closer and closer, and when I pushed through the bushes, I saw four students in jackets running over, including a little girl whose face was already pale from the cold , the mouth is purple.

"Brother, help us, we're lost!" The girl's voice was trembling, and she looked very embarrassed.Nie Yan couldn't bear it, and instinctively took off his coat, and let the little girl wear it under the jacket.

"Which school do you belong to? Why don't you go to class, and come to play in the mountains in the heavy rain?" Looking at these childish faces, Nie Yan sighed.

"We are students of Qingshui Datong High School, we are not here to play! But..."

"Don't talk about Tongtong! These adults won't believe it!" Before the girl could finish speaking, she was stopped by the boy next to her.The boy was tall, almost as tall as Nie Yan, and the other two boys looked at them like they were guarding against thieves.

"We are not bad people. Do you want to go back to Wangjia Village with us first? There is a signal there. I will contact your parents." Nie Yan said.

"Wang's Village? Isn't this the Savage Mountain? There is a village on this mountain?" The boy next to the girl asked, looking a little surprised.

"Savage Mountain?!" Zhou Nan and Nie Yan were stunned at the same time. When did they climb up the Savage Mountain?Nie Yan quickly regained his composure and glanced at Zhou Nan, who nodded at him.Nie Yan took out Tang Xiao's yellow talisman and lit it with a lighter. The yellow talisman actually started to burn in the rain, but the fire didn't go out. The hot ashes of the talisman dripped onto Nie Yan's wrist, causing some burning pain.

"Go and pick up four wooden sticks, and then learn how we hold each one, don't let go!" Zhou Nan sternly said, as if there was an invisible majesty, so frightened those students immediately ran to save the wooden sticks, according to Zhou Nan The instructions favor a column.Zhou Nan picked up the ashes of the burnt talisman and applied it on his eyelids.Just such a group of people, standing in a row, braved the heavy rain, walking on the muddy mountain road.

.................................. ............................................................

On the Wangjia Village side, Tang Xiao leisurely took a sip of tea, waiting for the village's answer.The village chief blushed and fidgeted.Finally, the young man next to him explained:

"People died one after another in the village, and those who died were villagers who had left the village after the explosion. Some villagers couldn't sit still, saying that the village angered the mountain god and was cursed, and they were going to the county to avoid it. But no matter what We walked, but we couldn’t get out of this village, and somehow ran to Songta Mountain. We could go out before! But the rain is weird, no matter what we do, it is futile, as if we are trapped here forever .

Another villager said, then simply wait until the sunny day before going out.There was really a daring one, what did he do? He went out, but when he came back, he became insane and left within a few days.Everyone panicked now, and some old people said that they had encountered this kind of thing before, and that only by offering sacrifices to the mountain god could the anger of the mountain god be appeased.The pigs, cattle and sheep are ready and carried up to Songta Mountain.As the old man said, the rain stopped.I thought this incident was over, but a Taoist priest came from the village and said that he was wandering here, seeing that there was a lot of resentment here, and wanted to resolve it. "

"Then you listened to that Taoist priest and used living people to sacrifice to the mountain god?" Xu Haibin frowned immediately when he heard the Taoist priest.

When Xu Haibin said this, the young man quickly waved his hands and said:

"We didn't think about harming anyone. The Taoist just said that in order to completely resolve it, each household must build a coffin, choose a living person to put in it, and bury it in the place where the explosion occurred."

"It's the 21st century, and you still believe in the words of a bull-nosed Taoist priest, and you've read to the stomach!" Xu Haibin saw that the young man was a bit educated, as if he had read books, and he didn't take human life seriously. It rushed up suddenly.

"Where's that Taoist priest?" Tang Xiao asked, not forgetting to cast a vicious glance at Xu Haibin.

"Mao Daochang went to Songta Mountain and never came back. We were also very worried, but no one dared to look for it. Today it started to rain again. Who would dare to go out? You are here. Seeing that you entered the house of Widow Wang, We just wanted to..."

"So you are reluctant to use the villagers' living sacrifices in the village, and you simply look for tourists like us. In such a big mountain, it is normal for a person to disappear, right?" Tang Xiao slammed the table and said angrily.

The young man was startled, and like the village chief, he lowered his head and dared not speak.Xu Haibin suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, found Xu Qi's photo, handed it to the village chief and said:

"Have you ever seen this kid?"

The village chief shook his head, and the villagers who joined the fun shouted:

"I've seen this kid before. I met it when I was digging wild ginseng on the halfway up the Savage Mountain. There was also a juicy female doll inside. It was said that it was a society that came to travel."

"Yes, they are!" Xu Haibin said excitedly.

"They seemed to be very anxious. They said that a partner was lost and asked me to help find it. I accompanied them to find it for a while, but I couldn't find anything, so I went back."
