One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 325: A Strange Expression
For journalists, traffic is everything.
Finally, thanks to Zhuge Qing's timely rescue, the press conference ended successfully.
The reporters got everything they wanted to know and left satisfied.
The live broadcast was rebroadcasted to the location again. After receiving the director's message, the location reporter immediately gave a preview:
"Dear viewers, tomorrow morning our reporters will go to the city hospital to question the missing people in Xiangyun Village. Please stay tuned..."
Such a notice indeed played an important role.
For a time, all the posts on the Internet about the Xiangyun Village incident changed their tone and began to discuss the truth of the incident.
But no matter what, the timely appearance of Zhuge Qing and Zhang Li did solve Chu Yi's urgent problem.
After the press conference, Chu Yi hurriedly took Zhuge Qing and Zhang Li back to the office.
In the office, Chu Yi first expressed his gratitude to the National Security Office, and then anxiously asked about the details of the case.
It was not until Zhuge Qing repeatedly stated that the case had indeed been solved that Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
For Chu Yi, this was undoubtedly a life-saving escape.
But just as Chu Yi was expressing his gratitude to the National Security Office again and again, he noticed that Zhuge Qing's expression was a little strange.
This made Chu Yi a little confused:
"Zhuge, is there any hidden story behind this matter?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Qing smiled bitterly and nodded:
“Deputy Mayor, this case was not solved by our National Security Office.
It was solved by the core department within your system. However, due to the special nature of this department, we cannot make it public."
"What? The Core Bureau?"
Chu Yi's eyes widened immediately. But Zhuge Qing did not explain too much, but just said that he would hurry back to the National Security Office to report.
After the two left, Chu Yi was confused and had no idea what was going on.
A case that even the National Security Bureau couldn't solve was actually solved by the Core Bureau?
For a moment, Chu Yi was puzzled.
The doubts about the core bureau in my heart are getting stronger and stronger...
……
Not long after, the National Security Office also learned about the case being solved.
This made Lei Shan, who had been looking gloomy, look happy.
The city government’s press conference video was still playing on the office computer.
Lei Shan looked at Xiang Tian with unconcealable joy on his face and said:
"Zhuge Qing actually went to the city government to save the situation. Fortunately, the case was solved, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble."
Before, Lei Shan was still angry that Zhuge Qing, the person in charge, lost contact during the investigation.
But after seeing this video, most of his anger disappeared immediately.
Xiang Tian also spoke up for Zhuge Qing at this time:
"Yes, this kid is quite reliable. Don't be too harsh on him when you get back."
Lei Shan naturally knew that Xiang Tian was talking about the matter of not being able to get through on the phone.
Lei Shan and Xiang Tian were both very angry before, but now with such good news, they decided to give a few reminders without being too harsh.
"Report……"
At this moment, Zhuge Qing's voice came from the door. Lei Shan and Xiang Tian's smiles disappeared almost instantly.
After Zhuge Qing entered the room, he immediately noticed that Lei Shan and Xiang Tian were very serious, which made him wonder what he had done wrong.
However, Lei Shan laughed at this time, looked at Zhuge Qing and said:
"Zhuge, you did a great job on this matter. It's a great achievement!
Not only did he solve the case and ensure the safety of the missing person, he also helped the city government out of trouble. He was very thoughtful!"
As Leishan's voice reached his ears, Zhuge Qing noticed that Xiangtian was also laughing.
This made him feel relieved:
"The two directors gave me a fright. I thought something had happened."
Lei Shan looked at Zhuge Qing and said:
"It's a good thing you solved the case, otherwise you would have suffered the consequences.
As the person in charge of the case, I can't get in touch with him. He changed his phone number and didn't even tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing looked confused:
"Director Lei, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
Xiang Tian coughed lightly upon hearing this:
"Zhuge, you have done your best to atone for your sins. Director Lei has decided not to bother with this matter.
Come back and report your new phone number, and never make this kind of stupid mistake again.
You must not be unreachable during the investigation.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing was even more confused:
"Deputy Director Xiang, my phone number hasn't changed. Why do I get less and less confused the more you talk?"
Seeing this, Lei Shan thought that Zhuge Qing was afraid of being blamed and refused to admit it.
Both he and Xiang Tian have made it clear that they will not pursue the matter, so why is Zhuge Qing still so stubborn?
Lei Shan couldn't help but feel a little unhappy:
"Zhuge, Deputy Director Xiang and I both called you last night.
The result showed that the number was empty, and the same was true for other team members.
I even tried to locate you guys but couldn't.
Did you change your phone and number?"
Zhuge Qing shook his head in bewilderment:
“Directors, this is against the rules, and I certainly won’t do this.
I didn’t receive any calls either…”
As he spoke, Zhuge Qing took out his phone in confusion and checked the call records:
"There's no record of your calls in the phone?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian looked at each other in confusion.
Lei Shan picked up the phone next to him and dialed Zhuge Qing's number in disbelief.
A few seconds later, Zhuge Qing's cell phone rang in everyone's ears.
Zhuge Qing shook his phone and said puzzledly:
"Director, look, I haven't changed my phone number, and it's not an empty number..."
"Hmm? That's strange..."
Lei Shan frowned:
"Deputy Director Xiang, you called last night, too. Was the number also unavailable?"
Xiang Tian nodded immediately:
"And the other team members are the same, so the director and I are very anxious."
Suddenly, Zhuge Qing seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lei Shan and asked:
"Director, when you called me, wasn't it around three in the morning?"
Lei Shan and Xiang Tian looked at each other and nodded.
Zhuge Qing's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand the reason:
"I think we were all in the Shenlong Shed at the time and were stuck in a maze, so you couldn't contact us."
"Shenlong Shed? Ghost Wall?"
Lei Shan and Xiang Tian said these words almost at the same time. To them, these words were really unfamiliar.
Looking at the two confused directors, Zhuge Qing smiled awkwardly:
"Director Lei, Deputy Director Xiang, we are actually unworthy of your praise for us.
Because this case was not solved by our National Security Bureau. It was solved by the Core Bureau!"
"what?"
Lei Shan looked at Zhuge Qing in confusion, obviously finding it hard to believe what he said:
"Zhuge, what does this case have to do with the Core Bureau? Haven't you been investigating it?"
Facing Lei Shan's question, Zhuge Qing thought for a moment and nodded:
“Director, it is true that I have been following up with the investigation team.
But in reality, we never got to the heart of the case.
It was Director Huang from the Core Bureau who personally fished out the body from twelve years ago from the river.
This led to the discovery of the culprit - the vengeful spirit.
After converting the evil spirits, Director Huang led us through the Shenlong House and found the missing people.
Without the core bureau, we alone would not be able to solve the case.
Because this case is beyond our capabilities and responsibilities.”
When Zhuge Qing said this, not only Lei Shan was shocked, but even Xiang Tian, who was always gentle, stood up in astonishment.
He pushed up his glasses, looked at Zhuge Qing in surprise and asked:
"Zhuge, do you know what you are talking about?
This is the National Security Office, how can you talk nonsense? "
Lei Shan's face didn't look good either. He thought Zhuge Qing had been staying with the mysterious Core Bureau for too long.
So much so that he himself was assimilated.
"What corpse from twelve years ago? What evil spirit? You are an investigator from the National Security Bureau. How can you say such things?"
Xiang Tian raised his tone, obviously very angry about Zhuge Qing's words.
This is a major issue of principle, and Xiangtian and Leishan both take it very seriously.
However, Zhuge Qing smiled helplessly.
It seemed that the reactions of the two directors had been anticipated.
“Directors, my team members can all prove what I said.
Moreover, our action recorders are always on, so the two directors can check the video directly.
Then you will know that what I said is absolutely true!"
Lei Shan and Xiang Tian looked at each other, confused and puzzled by Zhuge Qing's words.
However, seeing Zhuge Qing's confident look, they couldn't help but want to see with their own eyes what was recorded in the recorder.
So the two followed Zhuge Qing into the meeting room.
Zhuge Qing skillfully connected the recorder to the big screen and played the recorded footage of the investigation in Xiangyun Village over the past few days.
As the footage played, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian's expressions gradually became serious, and even surprise was revealed in their eyes.
They saw Huang Miao making a raft, saw Huang Miao and Wang Ye staying safe in the wind and waves relying only on the small raft, and also saw Wang Ye fighting fiercely with the water monkey.
These images put their nerves on edge; they had never thought they would see anything like this.
When the fast-forward ended and the scene froze at the beginning, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian were still immersed in shock.
"Two directors, the footage from this recorder should be able to prove that what I said is true. There are many oddities in this case. Without the core bureau, we would not be able to solve the case at all." Zhuge Qing's words brought the two back to reality.
Lei Shan frowned, looked at Zhuge Qing in confusion and asked, "Zhuge, how many times has the salvage bureau salvaged that river before?"
"We salvaged it five times in five days." Zhuge Qing answered without hesitation.
"Didn't find anything?" Lei Shan asked.
Zhuge Qing shook his head: "Nothing was found."
Lei Shan took a deep breath and said, "This is strange. The salvage bureau found nothing. How could Huang Miao fish out a body from twelve years ago in such a short time?"
Xiang Tian remained silent. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Zhuge Qing's voice rang out again, making the two people's already uncalmed emotions even more excited.
"My two directors, this is only a portion of the recorded footage. The most surprising thing is the scene where Director Huang rescues the vengeful spirits late at night." As he spoke, Zhuge Qing retrieved the footage information.
Soon, the picture started playing again, attracting the attention of Lei Shan and Xiang Tian.
The beginning scene is like watching a Taoist movie, with Huang Miao burning incense and worshiping in front of the table.
However, as the scene progressed, the style of the painting became more and more strange. When they saw the paper man move, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian both widened their eyes.
Not to mention them, even Zhuge Qing, who had experienced it personally, still found it incredible when he saw these scenes again.
As the images continued to play, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian seemed to be back to that midnight.
Even though they were separated by a screen, they still felt a chill on their backs and the expressions on their faces were rich and varied.
Especially when they saw the paper man turning his head mechanically, they all took a step back involuntarily.
Although he reacted immediately and restrained his actions, Zhuge Qing still noticed it.
Those who can sit in the positions of Leishan and Xiangtian can be said to have seen many storms.
But the expressions on their faces at this moment could not hide the shock in their hearts.
At this moment, the legend about the Coiled Snake Passage came to their minds.
These strange rumors, which were already puzzling, were invisibly confirmed.
Lei Shan suddenly recalled the strange kid he saw in the core bureau at that time. Lu Hui claimed that it was a zombie dug out from the ground.
They didn't take it seriously before, and only felt the horror of hindsight at this moment.
It turns out that these supernatural things have always been happening around us, but no one has ever really taken them seriously.
Lei Shan's expression became more and more strange. This was the first time he seriously thought about a question: There really are ghosts in this world!
But if that is the case, then wouldn’t the Core Bureau become a paranormal investigation department?
There is also the Feng Shui theory that Huang Miao has always mentioned. It is not uncommon in China, but it has never been confirmed.
It was not until they saw the recorder footage with their own eyes that they really took it seriously.
After the video ended, Lei Shan and Xiang Tian still stood there with strange looks on their faces, not saying a word.
Zhuge Qing stood aside, not daring to utter a word, feeling unsure.
He was not sure how the two directors would react to the video.
As for Lei Shan and Xiang Tian, they were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.
Especially Lei Shan, who knew quite a bit about Huang Miao, but the shock Huang Miao brought to him became stronger each time.
Images of Huang Miao kept flashing through his mind, and this image forced him to take it seriously.
Even the two of them lost their composure after seeing these scenes. Wouldn't it cause an uproar if it got out?
After a long time, Lei Shan suppressed his emotions and said in a heavy voice: "Don't let anyone know about this Zhuge. Take back all the investigators' recorders, back up the relevant footage and delete it. Send the backup footage to the archives immediately and seal it up!"
The reason why Lei Shan issued this order was that he realized the special nature of the matter while being shocked.
If these videos were to go viral, they would surely cause a lot of discussion.
Lei Shan and Xiang Tian were both staunch atheists before. They thought some folk customs and practices were nothing but the dregs of the old society.
But after seeing the footage from Zhuge Qing's law enforcement recorder, their once firm beliefs were shaken.
Even the two of them are like this, let alone the general public. (End of this chapter)
