what's weird

If they hadn't mentioned this matter, Director Wang probably wouldn't have remembered it at all. He held up the photo and said, "When people are old, their memory is not good. If you don't mention this matter, I really forgot it. Captain Qi, you That's right, this Teacher Luo has indeed been to the scenic spot before, and I was working at that time, so I took a look at her from a distance and saw that she seemed to be in a hurry, so I didn't go up to say hello."

Qi Zhen's eyes lit up: "Director Wang, do you still remember who she came with?"

"This..." Director Wang frowned and thought hard, "After so many days, I really don't have much impression. It seems to be two? No, it seems to be three people. The three of them came together."

three people?

Gu Yizhi's heart skipped a beat, he knew that besides Yang Dong, the other person was probably Feng Yue.Qi Zhen asked, "Is it the man in the photo?"

Director Wang picked up Yang Dong's photo and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's been too long, I really can't remember that clearly, I'm sorry, Captain Qi."

Qi Zhen nodded to express his understanding, and asked, "Can we go to the scenic spot now?"

"Yes, of course. Xiao Zhou, you will accompany Captain Qi and the others there later." Director Wang said enthusiastically.

"Okay, Director." Zhou Mengjie smiled at them. I don't know if it was professional or not, her smile always seemed a bit formulaic.

"Director Wang, I will trouble you about the surveillance video." Qi Zhen stood up and said.

"You are too polite. This is what we should do. If you still need something, just come to the management office to find me. I will fully cooperate with your work." Director Wang also stood up, shaking hands while speaking in an official tone.

"Then let's go to the scenic spot first, please, Miss Zhou." Qi Zhen nodded to Zhou Mengjie.Zhou Mengjie said generously, "I'll take you there now, please follow me."

Director Wang kept sending them out of the management office. Apart from Zhou Mengjie, Chen Hong was also with him. This time, Longquanling sent him over to assist Qi Zhen and Gu Yizhi in case of emergencies.The road leading to the scenic spot was dug around the mountains. In order to protect the safety and integrity of the ruins, all vehicles are prohibited from entering. The entire road is narrow enough for two people to walk side by side.Longquan Mountain used to be a barren mountain with few people. It was originally full of trees and flocks of birds and animals, but now due to over-development, potholes and yellow mud can be seen everywhere along the way, and some even formed huge rocks. The pit, embedded in the vegetation-covered mountain wall, is particularly eye-catching.

"When the relics were first discovered, many lawbreakers took the opportunity to dig in violation of regulations. These stone pits were left by that society." Zhou Mengjie explained as he walked, "Later, the government paid more attention to this place, and every night there will be Send people to patrol, and now there are no such phenomena.”

Gu Yizhi recalled the words of Chen Xing, the owner of Antique Street, probably the "good stuff" he said had something to do with these pits.On the way here, the figure he saw in a hurry, was it an illusion?Gu Yizhi thought for a while and asked, "Miss Zhou, are all those shops on Antique Street operating legally?"

"I don't know much about this, but the antique street is a major feature of our town. People who come here will go to the antique street even if they don't come to the scenic spot." Zhou Mengjie said, "It has formed a mature industry. The local department also attaches great importance to it, and it is now one of the main sources of income for our town.”

"The industry of antiques is too deep, and the counterfeiting technology is so powerful now that laymen really can't tell the difference." Chen Hong said with a sigh, "Our bureau and the industrial and commercial department have also jointly organized several anti-counterfeiting operations. Goods, the shop owner was the first to come out and cry that he had been tricked and cheated, and he couldn't even punish them."

This is a major disadvantage of the antique trade. Everyone wants to pick up the leaks, but there are a few who can really pick up the leaks. Most of them are dumb and hard to tell.The antique market is inherently chaotic, mixed with black goods, fakes and private goods, and there are countless illegal transactions behind the scenes. However, due to the particularity of this industry, it is difficult to supervise. As long as the merchant has a formal license issued by the relevant department , even if you find a fake, you can still use yourself as the first victim to fool the past.What's more, with the current counterfeiting technology, even experts may be mistaken, let alone ordinary people.

"In the past two years, we have increased the control over the source of antiques, and we are also cracking down on the phenomenon of stolen and stolen excavations. So far, we have achieved good results." Chen Hong said, "No matter what, things are always going on. It is developing in a good direction, and I hope this phenomenon can be completely eliminated in the future.”

"Our Captain Chen is very serious in his work. I often see him leading people around in the mountains. If it weren't for Captain Chen's help, the security guards in the scenic spot would not be able to stop the phenomenon of theft and excavation so quickly." Zhou Mengjie looked at it. Looking around, he said expectantly, "When plants are found in these mud pits, I believe Longquan Mountain will be as beautiful as before."

"Our place is small, and the Forestry Bureau doesn't have a special forest police, so we can only let the station organize regular patrols to ensure the safety of the relics and antiquities." Chen Hong said with a smile.You and I have said a lot, and almost every sentence shows that the local relevant departments have been "fulfilling their duties and working hard without complaint", but this is not the administrative scope of Yicheng after all, and Qi Zhen and the others have no right to intervene. Misunderstood, Qi Zhen changed the subject and asked: "Miss Zhou, do you remember where Yao Xinyi was found?"

"Remember, that place is quite remote, and it will take some time to walk there." Zhou Mengjie said, "It's also quite strange, it's so remote, you may not be able to find the place in broad daylight, and it's far away, surrounded by barren mountains and fields Ling, if she really lost her way, she wouldn't be able to continue walking into the mountains."

Zhou Mengjie is right. Generally speaking, if a person gets lost in a strange place, the first thing that comes to mind is to contact relatives and friends through mobile phones. If there is no signal at that time, you can choose to wait in place or use other methods Orientation.Getting lost will cause people to panic and lose the ability to think calmly, but this does not mean that even the most basic common sense will be lost. It is very strange that Yao Xinyi does not communicate with friends through mobile phones. Common sense does not match.

"Has there been a similar incident here before?" Gu Yizhi asked.

Zhou Mengjie thought for a while and said: "The scenic spot is quite big. I have been working here for two years, and tourists often get separated, but this is the only way down the mountain in the scenic spot, and there are luminous signs everywhere. As long as you have a little common sense Everyone can find their way back, and this is the first time I have seen someone like Yao Xinyi."

"Is there a mobile phone signal in the scenic area?" Gu Yizhi asked again.

"Yes, there are, but intermittently, it's not very good. After all, it's in the mountains, and there aren't that many base stations." Zhou Mengjie said.They walked along the mountain road for about half an hour, and gradually a huge stone appeared in front of them, with the words "Longquanling Ancient Battlefield Remains" chiseled in red paint on it, and beside it stood a piece of black granite as tall as a person, engraved with History and other relevant information about the site.

Although they didn't come to participate in the viewing, Zhou Mengjie still introduced enthusiastically: "This is the ruins of the ancient battlefield, which has a history of more than 500 years. It does not affect its historical research value, but it is also highly ornamental."

Zhou Mengjie is right. Compared with the ancient battlefield scenic spots in other places, this place has indeed retained its most primitive appearance. The scenic spot is empty as far as the eye can see. There are only a few severely weathered ruins, some of which are covered with oilcloth, and are still continuing dig.The mountain wind blows, the dust is flying, almost covering the sky and the sun, full of a sense of history.For history buffs, it does have very high research value, but for ordinary tourists, it is too monotonous and boring.Looking around, it was dusty, and it was too far away from other places of interest.

Probably this is also an important reason for the decline of Longquanling Scenic Area. The excavation work has not been completed, and of course it cannot be rebuilt here.After all, the Longquanling government was too eager for success and wasted a good tourism project.

A female tour guide holding a small red flag led thirty or forty tourists wearing red peaked caps out of the scenic area. The loudspeaker in her hand was reminding tourists to pay attention to safety and not to wander away.Most of the tourists are in their 50s and [-]s. Some are carrying cameras, some are eating snacks, and some are chatting with people next to them. From the expressions on their faces, they are all very disappointed with this place.When passing by them, Gu Yizhi heard someone complaining that the tour fare was wasted, and it was not worthwhile to walk such a long mountain road.Zhou Mengjie heard it too, and she smiled at Gu Yizhi with a slightly embarrassed expression.

However, Gu Yizhi thinks this place is good, at least compared to those antique buildings deliberately built by Dong Shi, it still retains the most primitive historical atmosphere.Zhou Mengjie walked in front to lead them. Chen Hong pointed to a place and said, "According to the statements of the three boys, they found Yao Xinyi separated here, and then they went down the mountain to seek help from the management office."

The place Chen Hong was referring to was a rock wall similar to a protective city wall, covered with trachoma and severely weathered.Zhou Mengjie explained: "This is a city tower from the Three Kingdoms period. It was used for fortifications. It was usually built with mud and stones. Due to the age, the two gradually merged into one. What we see now is that it has been eroded by the years. traces.” She spoke with the inherent introductory tone of a tour guide, and she has been studying here for two years, and almost no one knows the plants and trees in the scenic spot better than her.

Gu Yizhi noticed that this place is indeed not far from the way down the mountain, and there is a signpost in a conspicuous place. It is indeed like what Zhou Mengjie said, and it is impossible for anyone with a little common sense to get lost here.

"Is this where Yao Xinyi disappeared?" Gu Yizhi couldn't believe it.

"College students nowadays don't have any common sense in life, and their mental capacity is poor. They probably wandered around after being separated from their companions, and thus lost their way." Chen Hong explained far-fetchedly.
