One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 471 Investigation
After the gunfire died down, everything seemed to return to calm.
Everything that happened here was also covered by the night.
The wind was howling, and finally the pale moonlight appeared.
The moonlight penetrated the dark clouds and sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the two white lanterns at the gate of Fengmen Village, rustling in the wind...
……
On the other side, Du Qiang also led the team back to the duty office.
Upon learning that Du Qiang had returned, Wu Xuesong immediately called him to his office:
"Du Qiang, what are the results of the investigation? Have you found those people?"
Du Qiang walked quickly to the table, picked up the cup and drank it all, then nodded:
“Found it, these young people really went to Fengmen Village.
However, we walked around the village and didn’t find any trace of them. We only found their tents and some live broadcast equipment in the woods.”
"Ok?"
The result he least wanted to hear finally happened. Wu Xuesong slammed the table angrily:
"This is simply nonsense! Now, our service department has been inexplicably involved in such a thing.
What's more troublesome is that this team has quite a reputation on the Internet. More and more people are paying attention to this matter, and many netizens have begun to put pressure on the Service Department.
If we can’t find them, we don’t know what outrageous versions will circulate on the Internet.”
Looking at Wu Xuesong who looked solemn, Du Qiang spoke to comfort him:
"Leader, don't be angry, this matter won't take too long.
I have sent two service personnel to stay in Fengmen Village. It's just a deserted village and there aren't so many evil things happening there.
Tomorrow morning, I will dispatch more service personnel to go with us. If we spread out and search over a large area, we will definitely find them.
And during this period, if those young people went to Fengmen Village, the remaining service personnel would definitely find and protect them.
So, this matter is definitely foolproof, and you don’t have to worry too much.”
After hearing this, Wu Xuesong did relax a little.
He sighed deeply and sat down:
"Du Qiang, you have always been my right-hand man, I feel relieved to leave this matter to you.
But we have to hurry up, as the online public opinion is already overwhelming.
I don’t know whether these people are just hyping it up or what.
He had originally planned to broadcast live in Fengmen Village, but he disappeared afterwards.
Now everyone says that they might have had an accident in Fengmen Village.
You must investigate as quickly as possible and find these people.
Firstly, it was to calm down the increasingly uncontrollable public opinion online; secondly, it was to prove to the public that there was nothing evil in Fengmen Village. "
After chatting with Wu Xuesong for a few more words, Du Qiang left his office.
Although it was late at night, Du Qiang had no desire to sleep.
After sitting in the office for a while, he walked quickly to the archives room.
"Commander Zhang, help me retrieve the files of Fengmen Village."
Hearing this, Commander Zhang, who was in charge of the archives, immediately looked embarrassed:
"Captain Du, we don't have any archival materials about Fengmen Village."
Du Qiang frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"How could this happen? I remember that our Service Department conducted a large-scale file sorting a few years ago. The information of the surrounding villages was all recorded, but how come we can't find the information of Fengmen Village?"
Commander Zhang shook his head helplessly and explained with a wry smile:
"Captain Du, you don't know much about this. We only started organizing our archives five years ago. Before that, archive management in various places was very irregular, especially the archives of remote villages, which were basically scattered in the police stations of various jurisdictions. Five years ago, we organized and backed up all these archives and stored them in the Duty Office for emergency use. That year, the country began to uniformly establish archives, which solved the problem of information asymmetry. But Fengmen Village had been abandoned by then. The village was hidden in the deep mountains and forests. When we found it, it had been abandoned for a long time. Therefore, the archives of Fengmen Village could not be found anywhere. I remember that there was an investigation team at that time, which specifically visited the surrounding villages to understand the situation in Fengmen Village. But it is said that the village is very xenophobic and closed. The villagers listen to the village chief, and outsiders can basically not enter. Therefore, the surrounding villages also have many doubts about Fengmen Village. It is difficult to even get close to it, let alone understand it."
Commander Zhang's words broke the clue that Du Qiang had just grasped. After returning to the office, he kept thinking about this matter. They didn't even know when and why Fengmen Village was abandoned. Logically, this shouldn't have happened, but the time when Fengmen Village was abandoned coincided with the lack of archives in the country and the inability to establish a complete system. It is almost impossible to trace what happened in Fengmen Village. In addition, the place is too remote, and I don't know where to start the investigation. Otherwise, this mystery would not have remained until today.
He had wanted to learn more about Fengmen Village before daybreak, but he had not expected to encounter such a problem. Du Qiang had no choice but to put this idea aside for the time being, and planned to take the service personnel to meet up with the resident service personnel after daybreak to find those college students who were looking for trouble.
While waiting for dawn, Du Qiang had nothing to do, so he went online to check out the website of the "Three Midnight Shocks" team. There were many replays of the team's previous programs on the website. Du Qiang looked at it casually, and the more he looked, the more bored he felt. He could tell at a glance that these people were just acting, and all the fright reactions were fake, which meant that these fright effects must have been planned by them. He didn't know why this team suddenly became popular...
Du Qiang curled his lips and wanted to close the webpage, but he didn't expect that it was so late, and there were still many people discussing in the comment section of the homepage.
"Something might have really happened to them. Fengmen Village is such a spooky place..."
"They shouldn't have gone to Fengmen Village. It's been six days since they last released a warning. Maybe they really encountered some danger."
"Why hasn't the Duty Office taken any action yet? This is a matter of life and death, go find them quickly!"
"It's not that easy. If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many legends circulating in Fengmen Village until today."
Du Qiang frowned more and more as he read these comments. He thought, if even the Service Office couldn't find any files about Fengmen Village, how did the legend about Fengmen Village come about on the Internet?
With this question in mind, Du Qiang searched the Internet for legends about Fengmen Village. Most of the stories were about strange incidents that some hikers encountered after they strayed into Fengmen Village. Some said they saw a rocking chair moving by itself in the deserted Fengmen Village, and some said they kept dreaming after entering the village, in which they saw many people wearing strange hoods performing strange rituals. Some even went to Fengmen Village and came back with a high fever and kept talking nonsense: "If you prick the mother with a needle one inch, you will have a son..."
These things were spread on the Internet in a very concise manner, but Du Qiang was an atheist and did not believe them at all. However, among these seemingly bizarre rumors, there was one conclusion that made Du Qiang frown.
"There's something wrong with Fengmen Village's Feng Shui. The boundary between Yin and Yang there is very weak, Yin and Yang houses are mixed together, and it's hard to tell the difference between humans and ghosts..."
Du Qiang curiously clicked on the homepage of this comment and found that this forum was opened a few years ago, but it has not been updated for two years. Compared with the ghosts and gods, there are also many people on the Internet who talk about Fengmen Village's Feng Shui. Although Du Qiang still finds it unbelievable, he can't help but start thinking. Something must have happened, otherwise how could there be such a rumor in Fengmen Village? As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Even if it is a rumor, there must be a source.
Du Qiang suddenly had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he thought of the two service personnel who stayed in Fengmen Village. He quickly picked up his mobile phone and tried to contact them, but because there was no signal in Fengmen Village, the call could not be connected. This exacerbated Du Qiang's uneasiness. He looked at the sky outside the window, which was already getting light, and immediately picked up his coat and hurried out.
"Team one, assemble and follow me to Fengmen Village!"
Five minutes after Du Qiang issued the order, a number of service vehicles drove out of the service hall with their sirens flashing...
On the way to Fengmen Village, Du Qiang was always shrouded in a shadow of uneasiness.
Perhaps the more I learn about Fengmen Village, the more doubts in my heart grow like weeds.
Or perhaps the three words "Fengmen Village" themselves carry an indescribable ominous aura.
To get to Fengmen Village from the Service Office, one must first cross the suburbs and then go deep into the mountains. Once you enter the mountains, almost all electronic equipment will fail.
What's more, there is no signal coverage in that mountain area. Once the connection is lost, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, Du Qiang had an old map in his hand, on which the location of Fengmen Village was marked.
This is their only guide to travel between the two places. Fengmen Village seems to have been forgotten by this era, and even modern navigation systems cannot capture its existence.
Soon, several service vehicles stopped at the end of the mountain road.
The rest of the journey can only be carried out on foot.
Each round trip takes several hours, making it hard to imagine how the villagers who once lived here kept in touch with the outside world. Perhaps they were really isolated from the world as the legend said.
After nearly an hour of trekking on the mountain road, the group finally arrived at the stone tablet engraved with "Fengmen Village".
Du Qiang anxiously called out the names of the two service personnel, but received no response.
The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and Du Qiang immediately led the service personnel into the dilapidated Fengmen Village.
However, they searched the entire village but could not find any trace of the two servicemen.
Du Qiang simply couldn't believe this fact. Could it be that the two service personnel also disappeared inexplicably?
The crowd searched for a long time but still could not find the two service personnel, and even no trace of their activities was found.
But last night, Du Ming clearly instructed them to stay here in case the five young men suddenly showed up.
However, now, the whereabouts of the five young men are unknown, and two more service personnel have been added to the missing list.
The development of the situation was completely beyond Du Qiang's expectations, and the disappearance of the service personnel made the whole incident even more confusing.
Fengmen Village is not large, with some dilapidated houses in front and a row of graves in the back.
The writing on the tombstone on the cemetery is already blurred, and one can only vaguely make out that these are former villagers of Fengmen Village.
A peculiar village where corpses are buried in the village must have some unique customs.
It’s just that this custom is unknown, and perhaps it is this unknown that has shaped the mysterious color of Fengmen Village.
The service personnel dispersed and searched for several hours, but still could not find the two missing service personnel.
As it was getting dark, Du Qiang had to lead the team back and report the matter to the Duty Office.
After Wu Xuesong learned about this, he severely reprimanded Du Qiang.
"How could you let this happen? It's already troublesome enough.
Now another service member is missing, and the nature of the case has escalated to a level that we cannot resolve unilaterally.”
Wu Xuesong didn't want this matter to become a hot topic, especially when the online public opinion was already in an uproar.
However, now that the service personnel are missing, according to regulations, they must notify the Security Department to intervene in the investigation.
This means that the decision-making power in the Fengmen Village case is no longer entirely in the hands of the Service Office.
On the contrary, once the Security Department intervenes, the investigation of the Service Office will change from active to passive.
The decision will fall into the hands of the Security Department.
"Leader, please give me a little more time. I will definitely find the two missing service personnel."
Du Qiang's words did not change Wu Xuesong's mind:
"Do you think I don't want to give you time? But who gives me time?
Do you know how chaotic things are on the Internet right now?
The old story of Fengmen Village has been at the top of the hot search list for several days now.
In order to gain traffic, some anchors even claimed that they would go to Fengmen Village in person to investigate the truth.
Now there is another case of missing service personnel, which clearly shows that there is something wrong in Fengmen Village.
Notify the Security Department immediately and ask them to investigate as well.
Otherwise, the Duty Office cannot bear this responsibility unilaterally.”
Wu Xuesong issued the final order. Although Du Qiang was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it.
……
The news from the Duty Office soon reached the ears of Feng Tianming, the duty officer of the Nanhe District Security Department.
Looking at the investigation request letter sent by the Duty Office in his hand, Feng Tianming frowned.
The three words "Fengmen Village" are not unfamiliar to the local people in Nanhe District.
This is an old legend. Although it is still mentioned occasionally, no one takes it seriously anymore.
Feng Tianming has always been paying attention to what is happening on the Internet, but he never expected that it would get to the point where the Security Department would need to intervene.
After receiving the investigation request letter, Feng Tianming immediately summoned Chen Shu, the leader of the first investigation team.
“Xiao Chen, quickly lead a group to Fengmen Village.
Two service personnel went missing in Fengmen Village, and the reason for their disappearance is still unclear.
In addition, there is the 'Three Scares at Midnight' team that has caused a sensation on the Internet, a total of 5 young people, who are also suspected to be missing.
You should take people to investigate and find out what is going on.
If necessary, you can hold consultations and discussions with the person in charge of the Service Office.
You need to ensure consistency of information as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shu nodded solemnly and set off with the first investigation team overnight.
A few hours later, the Security Department's car stopped at the end of the mountain road, and then Chen Shu led the team members to start hiking.
The visibility was already very low in the dark, and wild animals frequently appeared in the deep mountains and forests, so the investigation team moved very slowly. (End of this chapter)
