One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

This was totally illogical and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

At this moment, Zhuge Qing's eyes suddenly widened. As the white mist further dissipated, he actually saw a dilapidated boat on the river in front of the cave.

The dilapidated planks, the rotten wood, the damaged hull...it was exactly the same as the ghost ship in the rumors.

Zhuge Qing was shocked and muttered to himself, "This ghost ship actually exists?"

Others were equally shocked when they saw this scene. It was hard to imagine that a ship that had disappeared for twelve years would appear before their eyes again.

However, Huang Miao's voice came at this time: "Ghost ship? Take another closer look..." Zhuge Qing looked towards the cave in confusion, but found that there was no ghost ship there, only the wreckage of a dilapidated ship floating there.

Huang Miao explained: "The ship was not spared either, but because it was destroyed in the Shenlongshe, even the wreckage cannot be found." This made Zhuge Qing suddenly realize.

Even so, he still couldn't recover. But Huang Miao was relieved at this time, pointing to a cave not far away and said to Zhuge Qing: "Those missing people should be controlled by the evil spirits in this cave. Send someone in to bring them out after landing. They need emergency treatment and can't be delayed. In this way, this case will be closed."

Zhuge Qing nodded in astonishment and hurriedly urged the investigators to enter the cave.

During this process, he couldn't help but ask Huang Miao out of curiosity: "Director Huang, we were rowing backwards just now, shouldn't the boat be heading west? Logically, we should have returned to the riverside where we started. Why are we rowing backwards and heading east?"

Huang Miao smiled meaningfully and said, "The reason why people are trapped in the Dragon House is that the directions they identify are often wrong in the Dragon House. It's like a ghost wall. You think you are walking on a smooth path, but in fact you may be going in circles. The faster you walk, the deeper you get stuck. At this time, you often just need to close your eyes and walk backwards a few steps to break the trap."

Looking at Zhuge Qing and Xia He's still blank eyes, Huang Miao gently waved his hand and said, "You have never understood this kind of thing before, so it is normal that it sounds mysterious now. You just need to know that the most taboo thing in the Shenlong House is stubbornness. Because everything you see here is wrong, stubbornness will only make you sink deeper and deeper."

Listening to Huang Miao's serious admonition, Xia He and Zhuge Qing nodded subconsciously.

At the same time, Zhang Lingyu had docked the fishing boat beside the cave.

This made Zhuge Qing and Xia He immediately withdraw their attention.

After getting off the boat, they immediately directed the police officers and investigators who followed behind to rush into the cave.

Sure enough, after entering the cave, they saw several people lying unconscious on the ground - female anchor Li Xiao!

Zhuge Qing recognized Li Xiao at a glance. They all remembered this face clearly because they had been working on solving the case.

In addition to Li Xiao, the missing child and the fisherman Wang Quan, who was first identified as missing, are also here.

The investigators rushed forward to check the breathing of several people and found that they were still breathing, but because they had been trapped for so many days, they had already fallen into a coma and were extremely weak and could die at any time!
Therefore, we must rush to the hospital for emergency treatment!

But at least the person was not dead and was found.

Zhuge Qing then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed the investigators to carry them out of the cave.

At this moment, Zhuge Qing finally realized what it felt like to be relieved. A huge stone had been weighing on his heart for the past few days, and it was not until this moment that it was lifted.

Watching the investigators carrying several missing people onto the boat, Zhuge Qing walked up to Huang Miao and said excitedly, "Director Huang, this case is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to solve it even if we racked our brains."

Looking at Zhuge Qing's sincere face, Huang Miao smiled and shook his head and said, "There's nothing to thank you for. This is your duty and my duty. Through this case, I believe you have a better understanding of the Core Bureau. We may have many more dealings in the future, so please don't cause us any more trouble when the time comes."

Huang Miao said this in a joking tone, causing Zhuge Qing to smile a little embarrassedly.

Recalling the first time he saw Huang Miao and others appear by the river, Zhuge Qing still felt a little contempt in his heart.

Before this, Zhuge Qing always felt that the establishment of the Core Bureau was quite incredible.

Despite the precedent of the Coiled Tunnel, he still had doubts about the department.

However, after this incident, all of Zhuge Qing's distrust of the Core Bureau disappeared.

What he just said to Huang Miao were all from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely felt that without Huang Miao and others, the National Security Office would never have been able to solve this case.

Huang Miao gently patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder and said in a calm tone:

“For your National Security Office, this case has been settled.

These people fell into coma only because they were harassed by evil spirits and their yang energy was damaged.

But they had not eaten or drunk anything for many days, and their vital signs were getting weaker and weaker.

Therefore, they must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for emergency treatment. Whether they can wake up depends on their luck."

Having said this, Huang Miao paused for a moment, then continued:
“But for the Core Bureau, this case is not over yet.”

When Zhuge Qing heard this, he nodded and said without asking any more questions:
“Director Huang, I will immediately send these people to the hospital when I return, and then report back to the National Security Office.

Both our director and the deputy mayor of the municipal government would be very excited to learn that the case has been solved.

They have also been under tremendous pressure these days, especially the municipal government, which has been under the spotlight from all sides. I heard that the deputy mayor doesn’t even dare to go home.”

Zhuge Qing got on the boat while talking with Huang Miao.

Under Huang Miao's instructions, the four ships began to return along the original route.

As the white mist rose again around them, the investigators, with their previous experience, left the Dragon House in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Xia He seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Huang Miao with some embarrassment and said:

“Director Huang, the Dragon House is something illusory and I don’t know much about it.

But the people living around here all depend on this river for their livelihoods. We can’t keep blocking the waters forever. Sooner or later we’ll have to let the villagers go down to the river to fish.

But if they accidentally break into the Dragon House again, won’t they be in trouble?”

At this point, Xia He asked cautiously:

"I wonder if the Core Bureau has any way to solve this problem?"

Xia He's words reminded Huang Miao, and he nodded thoughtfully:

“That’s true, but it’s only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.

This is why I say that the mission of the core bureau has not been completed yet.

We must find a way to crack the Dragon House, and this is exactly the responsibility of our core bureau..."

As he spoke, Huang Miao looked around, then looked at Wang Ye and said:

"Brother Chen, please communicate with the Urban Construction Office when you return. Isn't the tourist resort in Xiangyun Village currently recruiting investors?

If we add one more item to the project and build a bridge over the river, we can slay the dragon and break the impasse.

As for the construction... just like the Panlong Channel, our core bureau will be in charge of it."

Wang Ye nodded slightly, and Huang Miao then said to Xia He:

"Director Wang, please communicate this matter with the Xiangyun Village Committee. It would be best if they could issue an application report so that we can negotiate with the Urban Construction Office."

"Director Huang, don't worry, there will be no problem. I'll take care of it."

When Xia He heard that there was a way to solve this problem, she was extremely happy.

He didn't want to receive reports of missing people every now and then, because that would mean there would be no peace in Fengming Village.

After returning to the shore, Lei Mo, Wang Ye and others prepared to drive back to the core bureau.

Xia He and Zhuge Qing still had a lot of things to deal with, so after saying goodbye to Huang Miao, they stayed at the scene to direct the aftermath.

The seal was torn off by the police officers, and ambulances roared into Xiangyun Village with red and blue lights flashing.

The villagers came out curiously, wearing their clothes and gathered not far from the river.

They watched as doctors carried stretchers and put unconscious people into ambulances.

"What's going on? What happened again?"

"This is a good thing. I heard that all the missing people have been found."

"Oh, that's great. This way, we don't have to close the river anymore, right?"

"Of course. Didn't you see the seals were torn off?"

The villagers were talking about it and were all happy that the matter was finally resolved.

There were even many villagers who expressed their gratitude to Xia He and Zhuge Qing. Although they felt unworthy, they were unable to explain too much to the villagers.

Among the villagers, it was rare for the old smoker to join in the fun.

He looked around curiously in the crowd, seeming a little disappointed because he didn't see Huang Miao and others.

At this time, Huang Miao and others were quite free and easy, as if they were leaving after their work was done, hiding their achievements and fame.

The four of them were in good mood and rushed towards the core bureau.

In contrast, investigators such as Zhuge Qing seemed very anxious.

They need to return to the National Security Office as soon as possible to report the good news to Lei Shan.

However, Zhuge Qing didn't know that Lei Shan and Xiang Tian were already on pins and needles.

He didn't even know that Chu Yi from the municipal government was already preparing to hold a press conference under duress.

Although Chu Yi still didn't know what to say, he knew very well that if he didn't show up, the situation would only get more out of control.

This is not a good solution, but at this moment, Chu Yi can only use this method to buy more time.

All departments of the municipal government are making intensive preparations, intending to temporarily ease the public's increasingly impatient mood and stabilize the public's emotions at the press conference...

A reporter from the provincial station reported:

"Dear viewers, this is the provincial TV news broadcast room. I am the host Xiao Ran. The Lianyun Municipal Government has just received the latest news. Deputy Mayor Chu Yi has decided to hold a press conference immediately to explain to the public the recent high-profile disappearance of Xiang Yuncun. This station will broadcast the entire event live, so please pay attention..."

At the same time, a reporter from the Internet radio station also reported:

"After three days of continuous surveillance by our reporters, the city government finally responded. The press conference will be held in a few hours, and we will then have a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of Xiang Yuncun's disappearance. Please be patient, the excitement is about to unfold..."

For a time, major news platforms urgently inserted this latest development into their news reports.

After several days of fermentation, Xiang Yuncun's disappearance has become the focus of public attention.

Just as Deputy Mayor Chu Yi worried, because the municipal government and the municipal bureau have been slow to make a statement on the case, rumors and speculations have spread on the Internet.

Coupled with the blind following of some netizens, the truth of the case became even more confusing and aroused widespread public concern.

During this period, the city's Internet police department has been working hard to stabilize the situation and issued severe warnings to rumor mongers. However, these actions have become a fuse for public dissatisfaction and triggered more doubts and criticisms.

"You have time to issue warnings, but no time to explain the disappearances?"

"We are taxpayers, but now we don't even have the most basic right to know?"

"If you can issue a warning, why don't you solve the case quickly? Or if someone comes forward to give an explanation, wouldn't the rumors naturally dissipate?"

The staff of the Municipal Bureau saw these comments and felt sad.

They were not responsible for the case, but they were blamed by the public innocently. The Municipal Bureau could not pass the pressure to the National Security Office like the Municipal Government did, so they could only choose to remain silent and endure it all.

Finally, the city government broke its silence and announced a press conference.

This news immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from major media and sparked heated discussions online again.

Everyone was anxiously awaiting the press conference to be held in the city hall conference hall in a few hours.

For the people who were paying attention to this matter, these few hours were extremely difficult.

For Deputy Mayor Chu Yi, every day feels like a year.

At this time, Chu Yi was sitting alone in the office, frowning. Since the mayor went to Beijing for a meeting, he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the municipal government.

He originally wanted to keep everything stable before the mayor came back, but he didn't expect strange things to happen one after another. First there was the problem with the Core Bureau, then the incident in the Panshe Tunnel, and now the disappearance case of Xiang Yun Village has been exposed.

Chu Yi really had no way to express his grievances and could only endure it silently.

He looked at the clock on the wall. Time passed by minute by minute. The sky outside gradually brightened. He had not slept for another night.

There were only two hours left before the press conference, and preparations were being made intensively in the conference hall.

Just wait for the time to come and let the long-awaited reporters rush into the scene.

However, as time went by, Chu Yi felt more and more depressed, because he still didn't know what to say.

Public sentiment had accumulated to the extreme, and he knew that this press conference would be a tough battle.

Just then, the phone in the office suddenly rang, interrupting Chu Yi's thoughts.

He walked quickly to the phone and answered it. Before he could speak, a gloomy voice came from the phone:

"Chu Yi, how is the investigation of Xiang Yuncun's case going?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Yi was shocked and immediately recognized that it was Yang Shuo, a senior official of the provincial government. He quickly replied:
"Senior Yang, this case is currently being investigated by the National Security Bureau, but there has been no progress." (End of this chapter)
