On the second day of the winter solstice, it is cloudy.

The sky seemed to be covered by a layer of mourning blue tulle, so narrow that it made people feel suffocated, and it was so dark and heavy over the Yanjiawan area.

This day's Yanjiawan was also exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it made people uneasy.

Yes, just a kind of anxiety.

In Yanjiawan, apart from the old men with serious and worried faces who always look forward to the gate of the courtyard, there are only a few women with immature children. Like those old people, they have to stop in the courtyard and look in the same direction from time to time. , full of worry between his brows and eyes.

Even in the always bustling Wantou commercial shed area, the vendors have lost their usual hawking. Even if customers come to the door, they will introduce the goods in a low tone, and even more with a touch of worry.

This is Liu Yi's shocking impression of Yanjiawan when he came to Yanjiawan for the third time.

Glancing at the expressionless and numb colleagues around him, it may be that Liu Yi, who has not yet entered the WTO and still has a pure heart, is very sad.

In fact, since joining the criminal investigation team, Liu Yi discovered one of his problems—he was very unwilling to go on missions.

It's not that Liu Yi is lazy and doesn't want to go to work, it's just...their type of work is really not suitable for receiving "jobs" often. If it is possible, Liu Yi is willing to have all the colleagues in their team stay in the office 360 ​​days a year , Playing cards online and chatting about the mountains, even if you are scolded as "a bunch of idiots raised by taxpayers", it doesn't matter.Because, once their team receives a "job", then, it is very likely that... a living life has disappeared.

Moreover, Liu Yi was very resistant to coming to Yanjiawan, not because he was injured by that aunt the first time he came to Yanjiawan, but because Liu Yi liked Yanjiawan very much and thought that Yanjiawan was a modern "Xanadu". ", here should be peaceful, quiet, serene and comfortable.Yes, this is the first time Liu Yi came to Yanjiawan, and spent a lot of time recuperating in Yanjiawan, and received the simple and pure warm care from Yanjiawan people.

It's just that many things can become theories beyond imagination.

That's why Liu Yi came to Yanjiawan for the second time, and even the third time this time.

Slightly closing his eyes, Liu Yi still clearly remembered the incident that he came into contact with when he came to Yanjiawan for the second time... murder?Vendetta?Love kill?

No, Liu Yi frowned tightly, he had tried his best to make himself forget.Because, he really didn't want to think of that admirable human soul engineer, his eyes were full of despair, he handed his hands in front of him, and then asked him to put on the cold handcuffs for this great rural teacher , sent to a prison that has probably ruined his future since.

Yes, Wu Shaokang was handcuffed by Liu Yi himself.

This time, when he received the mission and learned that the place of the accident was in Yanjiawan, Liu Yi really didn't want to follow his colleagues here at all, really, not at all.

"What are you doing? Dallying, why don't you keep up?"

Zhao Qi's roar woke up Liu Yi, and Liu Yi realized that he was standing there in a daze.

Slightly frowning and staring at Zhao Qi, Liu Yi gritted his teeth: This man, this man, such a shameless and despicable man, why is he his captain!

Seeing Liu Yi's appearance, Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and sneered provocatively: "Why, you dare not go to the scene of the crime again?"

Clenched his fist, and when he released it again, Liu Yi's angry facial features had calmed down. He glanced at Zhao Qi coldly, and sneered back with disdain: "Old choke, are you naive?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yi ordered his backpack, staggered away from Zhao Qi, and walked along the Wantou River, which had widened for unknown reasons, towards the destination of their trip—Linjiagou at the foot of Pingliang Mountain.

However, when passing Wu Zidang, Liu Yi still paused, looking at the ruins where sparse bamboos had begun to grow. Even so, when people passed by, they could still see the scorched black under the new life... Liu Yi pursed his lips. He heard that after they left, another life disappeared here, and it was a strange woman.

Putting his hands together in front of his chest, Liu Yi closed his eyes and prayed silently, raised his legs and walked towards the destination with firm steps: perform his duties and do what he wants.Now that I have entered the industry that my father loved during his lifetime, I also want to be like my father, love this job, and do my best to be responsible for every life.

Zhao Qi watched Liu Yi's back walking on the narrow river beach for a long time, took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth and lit it.

He took a deep breath, looked at the cloudy sky, and exhaled a thick puff of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Zhao Qi bent his mouth towards the sky and murmured: "Captain, Xiao Yi is a good boy. Unlike the spoiled child you said, but...heh." The heavy mourning suddenly intensified, and the shallow, faint arc of the corner of the mouth turned into a touch of determination.

Hanging on his chest, the hand holding the cigarette was raised again.

As soon as the cigarette holder reached his mouth, Zhao Qi took a deep breath as if he wanted to inhale the air for the rest of his life. With the suction force, the white body of the cigarette was eroded by black.

The cigarette just lit, the second puff... Zhao Qi has already consumed 1/2 of it.

"Ah-"

The remaining half of the cigarette was taken from Zhao Qi's mouth and fell to the ground hard. Then he stepped on the heavy leather military boots and crushed it three times. Zhao Qi's cheeks were tense: "Don't worry!" Come on, captain, we will definitely look at Xiaoyi and let him grow into a real man, just like you, a good man who stands upright."

When the group arrived at Linjiagou, Liu Yi frowned.

Originally, when he saw the sparse tourists in Yanjiawan, Liu Yi cursed those talkative "media" for spreading news, but seeing the current scene, he understood: he misunderstood the media!

The number of tourists in Yanjiawan has indeed decreased by almost [-]% to [-]%. However, it turned out that this group of people adhered to the mentality of "love to watch", and they might have come to Linjiagou early in the morning. Look at the crowd on the third floor and the third floor here, Liu Yi couldn't help it No frown.

"Scatter away, spread out, what are you doing here?" Zhao Qi's bell-like voice sounded behind Liu Yi, and Liu Yi relaxed a bit, and let Zhao Qi, who was walking forward with long legs, walk sideways, and he Greeted two colleagues, twisted the backpack and began to pull the cordon.

"What's the matter with the local police? It's been so long, and they haven't put up a guard yet?" Zhao Qi yelled at Huang Shengqun, who was obviously the "boss", after the crowd retreated.

Huang Shengqun, who was already in a hurry, somehow got a roar from Zhao Qi, and naturally the burning point in his heart was ignited.

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Huang Shengqun swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before suppressing the anger, took a few deep breaths of cold air, calmed his facial features that were about to be distorted, and said calmly: "This Comrade, we are really short of manpower... Comrades from the town police station and county police station have already entered the mountain."

Zhao Qi frowned when he heard this: things seem to be very troublesome!

However, Zhao Qi recovered quickly, glanced at Huang Shengqun who was looking at the big mountain, stretched out his hand and said, "I am Zhao Qi."

Hearing this, Huang Shengqun looked back at Zhao Qi, and then at Zhao Qi's outstretched hand. The corner of his mouth moved almost imperceptibly. This person, last time about Wu Zidang, I heard that this group of people came to investigate: "Hello Captain Zhao, I am Huang Shengqun, the head of Fuyuan Township."

Seeing Huang Shengqun's reaction, Zhao Qi grinned and showed a polite smile... This man, no, should already be a man with the face of a standard politician, which made him a little familiar and interesting: "Major Huang, I hope We have enjoyed working together."

Liu Yi glanced at the two men shaking hands over there, frowned, turned his face sideways, and lowered his head to record some notes of the crowd.

As soon as I opened the cap of the automatic pen, I heard someone in the crowd shout: "Look, someone has come down from the mountain."

Looking around, Liu Yi saw that someone had indeed come down, and it was not a single person, but a group of people.

"It's Director Yan Zhuo." Huang Shengqun let go of Zhao Qi's hand, his eyes brightened, and he went up to him.

Hearing this, Zhao Qi looked at the group of people who came down from the mountain, and then looked at the people around them who were obviously local people but had bright eyes... Then thinking of the "Director Yan Zhuo" that Huang Shengqun said, his mind Turning around, I remembered who it was.

Everyone moved their feet, Zhao Qi was carrying a mission, it was impossible to stand here in a daze, so he followed.

Although Yan Zhuo led the team to search on Pingliang Mountain all night, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but when he came down the mountain and saw a few people standing in front of the crowd, he managed to hide his exhaustion, walked up to one of them, held the The man patted the man's shoulder with his hand, and said with a hearty smile, "Heh, Zhao Qi, you're here."

Zhao Qi shook Yan Zhuo's hand and shook it vigorously: "Squad leader!"

Huang Shengqun and Liu Yi on the side frowned at the same time, thinking: Do you know each other? !

However, at this time, this occasion is not suitable for reminiscing about the old days, so after shaking hands, Yan Zhuo and Zhao Qi took each other's shoulders and strode into the cordon with a group of "tails" behind them.

The security circle surrounded a farmyard, and there were two stretchers in the yard, and two CHI LUO people were lying on the stretchers.

Since Zhao Qi also just arrived, he doesn't know what's going on in the yard, let alone whether the two people are dead or alive... So Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yi, giving him a look.

Liu Yi received it with Zhao Qi's eyes, but he couldn't say anything more, so he stepped forward and opened the white sheet, carefully checked the situation of the two people, and made a record, um, and reported to Zhao Qi at the same time.

"...The time of death, inferred from the body, has been five hours...Before he died, he was greatly frightened..."

Zhao Qi was very satisfied when he heard Liu Yi's steady tone of report.Seeing Liu Yi reporting to himself, quickly making notes in a notebook, and looking down at the forensic doctor's serious appearance to check the characteristics of the deceased, Zhao Qi was a little dazed for a while, and he didn't even hear Yan Zhuo calling him a few times .

Zhao Qi coughed, Liu Yi looked up at Zhao Qi, and said in a calm voice: "Captain, that's about it. After all, this is not the scene of the first crime...the others..."

Zhao Qi nodded, and then Liu Yi put away his notebook and started to go to the place where his colleagues gathered on the other side.

Watching Liu Yi walk away, Yan Zhuo frowned slightly and asked, "This is... Liu..."

Zhao Qi nodded.

Yan Zhuo was silent for a moment, then said: "It's very good, I've seen it once."

Zhao Qi was taken aback, and soon remembered Yan Zhuo's so-called "meeting once", smiled, and said, "Tell me, I know you have something over there."

Yan Zhuo shrugged indifferently, pointed to a young man with a pale face who had been squatting trembling in the corner of the wall not far away since he descended the mountain, and said, "That...recognizes the dead." As he spoke, Yan Zhuo frowned for a while, his tone He sank down: "Zhao Qi, this time, I'm afraid your staff will have to help."

Seeing Yan Zhuo's expression, Zhao Qi also put away the expression on his face, and said seriously: "Squad leader, just ask if you have something to do."

Yan Zhuo patted Zhao Qi's shoulder, showing exhaustion: "To tell you the truth, this time... Alas, one of the 25 people missing on the mountain is my fourth uncle's grandson."

"Oh?" Zhao Qi frowned slightly.

"This kid, I just won the gold medal in the domestic winter XX Cup swimming competition a while ago." Yan Zhuo took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one over: "You are sent down this time, eight out of ten ^ Nine is the reason for my nephew."

Zhao Qi was stunned, he really didn't know that the old squad leader had a nephew who was an athlete, and he was also the master who won the gold medal.

"Don't tell me, this kid is also competitive. He has qualified for the XX Cup after only two months in the provincial team, and won the gold in one fell swoop..." Yan Zhuo held the lit lighter to Zhao Qi, and lit a cigarette for Zhao Qi Finally, I also clicked it myself, took a sip, and said: "I also have selfish intentions, such an upright nephew, let alone an order from above, even if there is no order, I will spend my life looking for it... Sigh, You know my character. I have been against my fourth uncle since I was a child. In fact, among the four brothers, I love my fourth uncle the most... Besides, my fourth uncle is very old. A son, but just such a grandson. I..."

"Squad leader, I know." Zhao Qi took a deep breath and understood.

"Okay!" He patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder again, Yan Zhuo glanced into the room, and said in a low voice, "Try not to enter the room for a while."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: why?

"Do you know that my family belongs to Yanjiawan?" Seeing Zhao Qi nodding, Yan Zhuo continued to say in a low voice, "There are many rules in Yanjiawan, and what the old people say is the golden rule. Well... there is our Yanjiawan inside." There is an old man in the bay, he is my ancestor." If you go in, you will be beaten by crutches nine times out of ten.

The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly realized: Well, I just said that I was stopped in the yard for a long time, and I didn't bring anyone into the house. It turned out to be...

Yan Zhuo waved his hand holding the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, and said bitterly: "That's all. My fourth uncle has a young son who is the first genuine college student in Fuyuan Township and the first famous brand in Jizhao County. University students, um, Q University."

"Squad leader, why do you Yanjiawan have all the talents?" And they are all at your fourth uncle's house.Zhao Qi didn't dare to say the last sentence.

Yan Zhuo shook his head depressedly, and said, "You still want to say that it all came from my fourth uncle's house, right?"

Zhao Qi chuckled and didn't speak.

Yan Zhuo ignored him, and returned to his bitter face: "My third younger brother is the one that the old man likes the most in our life... Well, yesterday I found out that something happened, so I took his elder brother and his brother with me at that time. A friend entered the mountain, and we have gone up three times until now, but we haven't found anyone yet."

Now that Zhao Qi heard the seriousness, he stopped smoking and looked at the two corpses in the yard: "Then this..."

Yan Zhuo also looked over and said, "This is the second time I went up to find it."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi looked up the mountain, his eyebrows raised into a ravine: "Pingliang Mountain is very big?"

Yan Zhuo shook his head vigorously, pulled Zhao Qi, pointed in the direction of Pingliang Mountain, and said, "Look carefully, what's wrong?"

Following the direction of Yan Zhuo's finger, Zhao Qi looked around and narrowed his eyes.

It turns out that Pingliang Mountain, which seems to be nothing out of the ordinary, seems to be covered by a thin layer of peeling film. Looking from a distance, it adds a bit of mysterious atmosphere to Pingliang Mountain.

It is said to be a film... Take a closer look, what kind of film is that, it is a piece of milky white, thick fog hidden among the trees.

This fog is very strange, Zhao Qi has never seen it before... Well, should it be called a wonder? !

That's right, this thick fog is not comparable to the thick fog that we usually see in the mountains or cities.

It is very short, not as tall as the trees on the mountain.

Therefore, the crowns of the trees on Pingliang Mountain were exposed, and the trunks and everything under the trees were covered by the thick and strange mist.

"...Fog?" Opening his mouth, Zhao Qi spit out a word.

Yan Zhuo nodded, took the last puff of his cigarette hissingly, stepped on the cigarette butt, looked at Pingliang Mountain, narrowed his eyes and said, "The trouble is in the fog."

Zhao Qi closed his mouth and was completely silent.

"The ancestor saw that my nephew was not found, and my two younger brothers were also missing, so he fainted once." Yan Zhuo said more and more bitterly: "My father also said that if I can't find anyone, I don't want to go back. "

Zhao Qi pursed his lips: It seems that this time is really troublesome.Including the 25 people who disappeared in front, and the three who went up to find people behind, this is 28 people who disappeared on the mountain!It's really... troublesome!

Chen Ting squatted at the foot of the wall. Even though he was wearing an extra thick down jacket, he still felt cold and curled up in a ball... The throbbing in his heart was like a devil, roaring to devour him.

Like many others, Chen Ting was born in an ordinary small urban family. Although his parents both had jobs and were able to buy a 120-ping building, this could only be considered a small middle-class family.

After graduating from university, Chen Ting joined a Sino-foreign joint venture through his uncle's relationship...Compared to his classmates, Chen Ting is considered a person with a better future.However, these are far from his ideals.

It is inevitable to suffer a lot of grievances at work, and the pressure also increases.

So, led by his cousin, Chen Ting entered the online world... There, Chen Ting found a sense of accomplishment.That's right, a sense of accomplishment.

In the virtual world, Chen Ting is the leader of a guild, and there are more than a hundred people in the guild... Although they don't know each other, every time he hears someone calling him a leader respectfully, Chen Ting thinks... What kind of bullshit boss The grievances I gave disappeared.

Therefore, compared to real life, Chen Ting is more addicted to the "sense of accomplishment" on the Internet.

A few days ago, Chen Ting found out that a little-known underage player in his guild was actually an athlete, and he even won a gold medal... Chen Ting walked lightly during that time.Because that child has always been sweet-mouthed, seeing that he always helps the Lord before and after the Lord.

Chen Ting's heart skipped a beat when he accidentally heard that other gangs were going to hold a meeting with netizens. He was so excited that night, and his mind began to waver: he wanted to have a party with his most powerful "subordinates". By the way, feel the "sense of glory" in real life.

Ever since, there was Yan Jiawan and his party.

Chen Ting is no stranger to Yanjiawan.

As a person who has been immersed in the virtual world of the Internet for many years, Chen Ting is also one of the "bricks" of the forum when he is not playing games. Therefore, he was also one of the "navy" in the news about Yan Jiawan, not to mention, Yan Jialing's hometown is in Yanjiawan.

Out of various considerations, Chen Ting waved his hand and decided to turn the netizen meet-and-greet meeting into a self-guided travel meet-and-greet.

Sure enough, the "shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals" retreated, but they got the strong support and approval of several powerful "generals" in the gang who were not cold at the beginning, and went straight to the "leader wise".

Everything went as Chen Ting expected.

Yanjiawan is a nice place, and because it is Yanjialing's hometown and they also live in Yanjialing's home, each person has to pay 500 yuan for food and drink.

Thinking about the 500 yuan, Chen Ting sighed: If you go to other tourist attractions, or just stay at home, what use will the 500 yuan be for?But it's different in Yanjiawan.

Eat and live in Yan Jialing’s house, not to mention living in a chic little bamboo building, just the food, if you bring it to the city, let alone it’s too expensive to afford, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in the city Really green, pollution-free, delicious and refreshing food!

After a few days, which one of the twenty or so people disapproved of Chen Ting's "vision"?Which one is not full of praise for Chen Ting?Who doesn't say that this trip was worth it? !

After visiting Yanjiawan, there is no reason not to go to the important Pingliangshan Nature Reserve, right? !

But... the current Chen Ting regretted it, really regretted it.

Looking at the corpses of Jianqi Hengqiu (Shen Zongji) and Fairy Muhuan (Zhao Xueqi) in the courtyard, Chen Ting turned pale and held his head in deep regret.

It's really hard to buy money, I knew it earlier, there is really no medicine for regret in the world.

Chen Ting never expected that such an honest (?) person as Jian Qi Hengqiu would have an extramarital affair on the Internet.

What's more, Jian Qi Hengqiu's extramarital affair was his wife Fairy Mu Huan in the game.

Obviously they are not very familiar(?)......

Obviously they haven't had much contact(?)...

How did you get them together?

Moreover, he still confessed his life in such an ugly way...

Chen Ting didn't dare to imagine the consequences, let alone whether he would go to jail because of it, and even less dared to imagine facing his arrogant and gentle wife and that lovely and clever daughter.

What annoyed and frightened Chen Ting was: the whereabouts of his cousin, Yan Jialing, and the others were unknown, and Yan Jialing's uncle and father went up to the mountain to look for them, and their life and death were also unknown.

Chen Ting was really scared, terribly scared, he even started to pull his hair and thought angrily: Why am I the only one who came back?Why did I run back to find someone so stupidly, instead of just running away?Why don't I just stay at home and play games, and come to this ghost place to have a party with netizens?Even if you have a party in the city, you can eat and have fun with 8000 yuan. Why did you choose this place? ...

Now it’s all right, so many people have died or been lost... Yan Jialing is a local, if you can’t find Yan Jialing, or if there is something wrong with Yan Jialing, even if the law doesn’t sanction me, I can still go home?Can I still go home and see my parents?When I saw my parents, they asked me why my cousin didn't come back, can my uncle and aunt spare me?Ahhh... My uncle has offended me, so my future has come to an end, right?Have you become as down and out as those classmates? ...

Chen Ting's behavior of bumping his head against the wall at the foot of the wall was stopped.

Liu Yi looked at Chen Ting, who had lost his mind and couldn't be restrained by several medical staff, frowned, and gently tugged at the corner of Zhao Qi's clothes.

Zhao Qi glanced back at Liu Yi, followed Liu Yi's gaze to see Chen Ting, frowned, and looked at Yan Zhuo: "That person..."

Yan Zhuo naturally saw the big commotion over Chen Ting, sighed, and said to the medical staff over there: "Give him a tranquilizer!" After speaking, he turned to Zhao Qi and Liu Yi, and said: "This is the person who came back to report the letter, called Chen Ting."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi looked at Chen Ting seriously for a while, Yan Zhuo saw Zhao Qi's movements, and sneered, "This person is really all right, that is..." A patient whose mind is confused by the fame and fortune in the virtual world.

"Squad leader, what's next..." Zhao Qi didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the topic.

Yan Zhuo looked tired, rubbed the center of his brows, and said: "The fog on the mountain is very troublesome, but Secretary Zhang is already recruiting our old hunters who are familiar with Pingliang Mountain, and is going to organize more people to go in for a carpet search , I hope... I hope they can withstand the cold on the mountain and persist until we... our rescue."

"Is that all there?" Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice.

Yan Zhuo glanced at Huang Shengqun, Huang Shengqun nodded and walked out of the yard.

2 minute later.

When Huang Shengqun returned to the yard, he was already followed by a dozen middle-aged and elderly rural men.

Huang Shengqun came to Yan Zhuo and Zhao Qi: "These are well-known good hunters in Linjiagou and the surrounding villages. They often went in and out of Pingliang Mountain in the early years, and they are very familiar with Pingliang Mountain."

After Huang Shengqun finished speaking, he moved half a step away, and let an old man in his 60s and [-]s who was very energetic behind him come forward, and under the suspicious eyes of Zhao Qi and others, he introduced: "This is Comrade Lin Fugui, from Lingqu Township. There are famous carpenters in the area, but Comrade Lin Fugui was also an excellent old hunter in the area in the early years."

After Huang Shengqun finished introducing the dozen or so middle-aged and elderly rural men, Zhao Qiyan Zhuo and his team discussed with these local "living maps" a search plan into the mountains.

After having a simple breakfast at the people's house in Linjiagou Township, led by Yan Zhuo and Zhao Qi, a search and rescue team of about forty people was ready to go...
