Although Hou Hao was full of doubts, he did not show any of them.

After listening to Zhang Lingyu's words, he even managed a smile and said:

"How about this, let Political Commissar Yang take you to another room to rest.

When you think the time is right, come back to the conference room and gather.”

As he spoke, Hou Hao winked at Xie Xia Xia, who nodded slightly and then opened the door behind her:
"Everyone, please come this way..."

Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao exchanged glances, both remained silent, and walked out quietly.

Seeing this, the fat man had nothing to say and quickly followed. He really didn't want to deal with these people in uniform.

After a few people left, the smile on Hou Hao's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He frowned, looked at Zhuge Qing solemnly, and asked:
“Team Leader Zhuge, can they really solve this case?

I didn't expect the person who came would be so young.

In terms of experience and knowledge, how strong can someone so young be?

We spent hours investigating, but found nothing, didn’t we? "

Pan Xing also nodded and agreed:

"Yes, Team Leader Zhuge, why don't we let the National Security Office quickly intervene in the investigation.

We only have three days at most, and now the first day is over.

For the remaining two days, I put all my hopes on these two people, and I feel uneasy. "

There was no one else in the room, and Pan Xing and Hou Hao both expressed their attitudes directly.

However, to Guo Mu's surprise, Zhuge Qing still shook his head firmly:

“My two captains, I have said this before.

This case cannot be solved by the National Security Office or any other department alone.

Only the core team can do this, please rest assured, the two team leaders."

At this point, Zhuge Qing sighed softly:

“Although I didn’t expect that they would be the two of them this time,

In the past, the two directors had come forward in person.

But the two team leaders also saw it, and they saved my life as soon as they arrived.

This is the best proof of their ability. I believe that strong men have no weak soldiers.

Please give them a little more time..."

Zhuge Qing's words were powerful and expressed his firm belief.

These words left the two team leaders speechless.

Hou Hao and Pan Xing looked at each other and sighed softly.

They didn't particularly question the abilities of Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao.

But the situation is urgent now and they are really worried.

At the same time, in another room, Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the night to fall.

"Did you notice? They don't seem to trust us very much."

Feng Baobao suddenly spoke, indicating that she had been thinking about this issue.

Zhang Lingyu smiled helplessly:
"After all, this is our first mission. We have no experience, so we naturally cannot expect others to have complete trust in us."

"yes……"

Feng Baobao nodded helplessly:

“Trust is earned through strength.

This is the first time the two of us have done anything alone, so we have to make it a success.”

Zhang Lingyu also nodded firmly, he thought so in his heart.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt a strange gaze.

They followed the direction of his gaze and found that the fat man was sitting not far away, looking at them with a strange expression, wondering what he was thinking.

"Fatty, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Lingyu asked. The fat man immediately perked up and came over:

"Tian Zhen, you finally remembered me?

What the hell is going on with you guys?

Everyone has been acting weird since just now."

As the fat man spoke, he looked back and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he said with some concern:

"This is not a place for us to stay. Robbing and robbing tombs is not something that can be done in public.

If we are discovered, it will be difficult to leave."

Seeing the fat man's serious look, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help laughing.

Only then did he realize that this was what the fat man had been worrying about.

There was no chance to speak before.

Now that he had some free time, Zhang Lingyu finally had the opportunity to tell Fatty the whole story in detail.

After hearing what Zhang Lingyu said, the fat man's expression froze for a long time.

He shook his head violently, as if trying to sort out the confusing information.

After a while, the fat man swallowed his saliva, stared at Zhang Lingyu with wide eyes and asked:
“So you’re saying that you joined a new department called the Core Bureau.

Then you are also investigators of a team called the Dragon Slaying Exploration Team in the Core Bureau.

And the young man is the deputy director of this department?"

Zhang Lingyu nodded calmly:

"Yes, now you understand what we do, right?"

The fat man gradually showed a questioning expression.

He stared at Zhang Lingyu for several seconds, but there was no flaw in his expression.

After the long-awaited reunion, such a big change has taken place.

The taciturn Wang Ye actually became a deputy-division-level official?
And Zhang Lingyu also became a member of the official investigation team, commonly known as a civil servant...

This information was difficult for the fat man to accept for a while.

He looked at Zhang Lingyu blankly and asked:

"So according to you, the reason you are in the military area now is because you want to investigate the haunted case in the military area?"

Zhang Lingyu nodded again.

The fat man just felt that the world seemed to have gone crazy.

"So the direction of your investigation now is to find out who is behind this, right?"

After hearing what Fatty said, Feng Baobao said:

"That's not quite accurate. It's one of the directions, but it's not the main one. Now, according to various clues, there is indeed something behind this.

It could be a ghost, or some kind of evil spirit."

Feng Baobao's words made the fat man sit down on the sofa and look at the two of them in astonishment.

He wondered why Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu spoke so seriously.

It’s as if there really are ghosts in this world.

After all, the fat man has been wandering in various ancient tombs for many years and has encountered many strange things.

But he doesn't really believe that there are ghosts in this world.

Otherwise, after robbing so many tombs, if there really are ghosts, how can we continue the tomb-robbing business?
But Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu were too serious and solemn when they said this.

The fat man was even confused and wondered what was going on between the two of them.

In the following time, the fat man kept asking questions.

Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu also answered him patiently.

Although Feng Baobao didn't have a good impression of the fat man at first, after getting to know him better.

She found that this man was just a little careless and had no bad intentions. He was generous and righteous, so she gradually let go of her prejudice.

And sometimes this fat guy is quite interesting.

There are always some unexpected words and actions.

In the same military district base, in two adjacent rooms, there was a completely different atmosphere at this moment.

The atmosphere in the meeting room where Hou Hao and others were was heavy and depressing. Everyone was on pins and needles, eagerly waiting for the news from Zhang Lingyu and others.

However, the room where Zhang Lingyu and the others were was extremely lively.

Mainly thanks to that active fat guy.

In addition, Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu had absolute trust in Huang Miao, so they were not worried at all.

As the night deepens, the lights on the bustling streets of Lianyun City are bright and neon lights are flashing, attracting countless handsome men and beautiful women. The night culture of a city often reflects its level of prosperity. Although Lianyun City is only a fourth- or fifth-tier city, its nightlife is extremely rich, enough to rank among the top cities.

The Geological Bureau building seemed particularly quiet in the night; the employees had already left work and the entire building was empty.

Occasionally, passers-by would look up at the building curiously.

However, they did not notice that Huang Miao was standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, staring at the night sky.

His mind was filled with the knowledge of astronomy, an ancient form of divination that predicted good and bad fortune in the world by observing the stars.

The twenty-eight constellations, the four symbols of east, west, south and north, each of which corresponds to a specific astronomical phenomenon and meaning.

At this moment, Huang Miao was applying this knowledge, calculating with his fingers, his eyes following the changes of his fingers, and his body seemed to be surrounded by a mysterious aura.

Although the room was silent, the ends of Huang Miao's hair fluttered gently as he calculated, as if he had become one with the stars in the sky.

He was using celestial phenomena to predict the future, which was the essence of astronomy.

Everything in the world has its destiny, and destiny must have its time.

The art of astronomy focuses on the word "time". It uses celestial phenomena to gain insight into the will of heaven and then determine the right time.

However, just as Huang Miao was concentrating on divination, the sound of glass breaking suddenly came from the outer room.

He clenched his fists suddenly, turned around, and saw Jiang Xiaochen standing there awkwardly with a broken teacup in front of him.

Apparently, he had accidentally broken the cup and seemed a little flustered.

Wang Ye rushed over upon hearing the noise, and when he saw this scene, he immediately apologized to Huang Miao.

But Huang Miao shook his head slightly, pointed to the broken cup on the ground and said: "This is the meaning of the hexagram."

He learned through divination that it was the right time for Zhang Lingyu and others to investigate, but the shattering of the cup was a bad omen.

Huang Miao's mood darkened, and he said to Wang Ye, "Hurry up and contact Zhang Lingyu and the others. I'm afraid this mission won't be easy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye immediately nodded and hurried to prepare.

Not long after, a quick phone call suddenly rang in the silent conference room.

Zhang Lingyu and others came quickly. Xie Xia Xia wanted to answer the phone as usual, but when she saw Zhang Lingyu, she immediately took a few steps back and gave her seat to him.

Zhang Lingyu picked up the receiver and asked tentatively, "Is that the director?"

Huang Miao's voice came from the phone, with a bit of heaviness: "Tian Zhen, you must arrive at the back mountain on time at 1:00 p.m. tonight. You should find something. But you may encounter trouble tonight. Remember, the solution to the dilemma lies with Feng Baobao, not you. Do you understand?"

Zhang Lingyu seemed to understand and wanted to ask more, but Huang Miao said that too many secrets should not be revealed and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Lingyu put down the receiver and looked at the others, and found that they were looking at him in confusion.

They had investigated for so long but found nothing. Could it be true that, as they said on the phone, they would find something if they went to the back mountain at 1:00 p.m.? Who could be sure of such a thing?
However, before Hou Hao could ask, Zhang Lingyu looked at Feng Baobao and said, "Did you hear that? Get ready and be at the back mountain on time at 1:00 p.m."

Feng Baobao nodded immediately, obviously believing Huang Miao's words. Hou Hao saw this, but his doubts grew even more.

Stargazing at night, the divination results are so mysterious?

Hou Hao looked surprised. He noticed that Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu had unconditional trust in the mysterious director, which made him feel very puzzled.

In Hou Hao's opinion, this kind of unreserved trust is more common in the military, and is usually a quality possessed by excellent soldiers. The Core Bureau is obviously an extraordinary organization.

Zhuge Qing's eyes sparkled at this moment, and he looked at Hou Hao with joy: "Captain Wu, you can rest assured now. As long as Director Huang takes action, this case will be solved within three days."

Even Zhuge Qing from the National Security Office was full of trust in the director.

Hou Hao exchanged glances with the other people. Although there were no words, they all understood each other's doubts.

Who exactly is this Director Huang, and what methods does he have to make so many people follow him willingly?
This question lingered in Hou Hao's mind, but he did not show it. He had decided to follow these people tonight to see what would happen.

Time passed quietly, and the military base fell into silence again. Most of the soldiers had fallen asleep after a day of high-intensity training.

However, the lights in this conference room were still on, and Hou Hao and the others didn't even yawn during this time. They stared at the clock on the wall, waiting for the arrival of the hour of the Ox.

At this point in time, if it weren't for Huang Miao's call, I'm afraid no one would choose to investigate at this time. In such a frozen atmosphere, the silence outside the window seemed a little weird.

Finally, the hour of Chou arrived, and Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao quickly stood up: "Let's go, wait at the foot of the back mountain first, and go up the mountain on time at the hour of Chou."

Hou Hao also stood up and nodded gently: "I will go with the deputy head and Political Commissar Yang to take care of each other."

Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu were not surprised by Hou Hao's proposal. They had already guessed that Hou Hao and others might act together.

Therefore, the two did not say much. Zhang Lingyu even slapped the fat man who was snoring on the table and woke him up: "Don't sleep, come with me, I'll show you something!"

"Huh? What money?" The fat man rubbed his eyes in a daze, stood up, and subconsciously patted the bag next to him. He felt relieved after confirming that no one had touched it.

He put on his backpack again, which was filled with treasures hidden in the cave. He had just had a dream that he returned to the capital and sold these things, becoming rich instantly.

Unfortunately, the good dream didn't last long, and Zhang Lingyu slapped him awake. He looked at Zhang Lingyu with some resentment: "I told you guys that you are superstitious. You have to check at this point. What does it matter? Can't you wait until tomorrow morning?"

Although he complained, when he saw Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao go out first, Fatty followed them without a second thought. He was afraid that he would be left behind by Zhang Lingyu and detained by the military.

Of course, the reason for such concerns is that the fat man feels a little insecure.

A group of people walked in the night, approaching the back mountain.

Zhang Lingyu and three others walked in the front, Zhuge Qing and Guo Mu were in the middle, and Hou Hao and others walked at the end.

They seem to be a group, but from their positions we can tell that Hou Hao and others still have some doubts in their hearts.

The guards at the door saw so many people suddenly coming out of the military base and looked over here curiously.

When they saw that the group leader and several others were among them, they were even more surprised. (End of this chapter)
