Chapter 128
Cannibal Mountain?
Hearing Li Guidao say these three words, I was a little curious: "Does it mean that mountains can eat people?"

Li Guidao said: "Obviously that's what it means. This case happened in the middle of the Taihang Mountains where there is a general's tomb. It is said that a general was buried on that mountain, but the general’s name is unknown.”

"Some scholars have also researched it, saying that it was a certain general when the Xing Kingdom destroyed the country in the Spring and Autumn Period. No amount of information was found, and no one even found any tomb on that mountain, so that mountain is called the general's tomb. Although it is still there, there is no real tomb."

"In the south of the mountain where the general's tomb is, there is a place called Songzhai. The village is not small, with a population of nearly 1000 people. But in the past two years, many people in the village have never returned after entering the mountain. Those who disappeared will be found in the valley to the west of the general's tomb in the third month of their disappearance. When they were found, they were still bones, but their clothes were still intact. Beast attack, or caused by falling off a cliff!"

"So the local people spread the word that those who entered the mountain were actually eaten by the mountain in the general's tomb. The mountain is a god and a monster. When eating people, they eat meat directly through their clothes, so they will not destroy The victim's clothing."

"From two years ago to the present, more than a dozen people in Songzhai have had accidents. This incident has caused panic in the local area, but no one has reported it. The local area has been investigating it as a criminal case, so our supernatural branch also I haven't noticed it all the time, but someone happened to pass by Songzhai not long ago and heard about the story of Youshan eating people and reported it."

"However, there is no time to investigate the detailed situation there, so this time, you are here to investigate to determine what is going on there; secondly, to solve the matter, no matter what the reason is, you must not let that Mountains are no longer 'eating people'."

I nodded and said, "If there really is a mountain that cannibalize people, that would be really strange!"

Li Guidao continued: "That's all I can tell you. Next, I will send the location of Songzhai and the General's Tomb to your mobile phone. You all set off as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

"You are going this time as members of the accident investigation team. It is a false name, but you will have formal documents, and some leaders will also inform the party secretary and village chief of Songzhai Village to fully cooperate with your investigation."

"After you get there, your food, accommodation and transportation will be arranged by a special person."

The three of us nodded.

After that, we didn't stay at the wreath shop too long. After Li Guidao sent us out, before we got in the car and set off, he directly closed the shop door and put up a closed sign.

Naturally, we would not argue with Li Guidao about this, so we headed west directly according to the address Li Guidao sent me.

From the point of view of Taoism, it will take us more than three hours to go to Songzhai this time.

It wasn't me who was driving the whole way, Zhang Rui was driving for me in the second half, and I slept on the back seat for a while.

When we arrived at Songzhai, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the phone number Li Guidao gave us, we found the village branch secretary. He was a man in his 40s named Song Miaozheng, and he followed a young man behind Song Miaozheng. , in his early twenties, his name is Song Yihe, and he is the village head here.

After further questioning, we found out that Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe were uncles and nephews, and this family firmly held the power of Songzhai Village in their hands.

Of course, we won't ask too much about these things, just ask where we live tonight.

Song Miaozheng led us to the village committee, where there was a row of bungalows, and three rooms were enough for us to live in.

After arranging for us to stay, Song Miaozheng looked at us and said, "Aren't the criminal investigators so young now? There are also costumes."

On the other hand, Nangong Xiong said with a "hum": "Your nephew became the head of a village in his early twenties. What's so strange about us better people conducting criminal investigations? Besides, what I wear affects me. Do you do any work?"

When Nangong Xiong said this, the expressions on Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe's faces were a bit weird. It is conceivable that the position of Song Yihe's village head was definitely not obtained through formal elections, and most of it was bought by buying votes. .

I'm just wondering, in such a village deep in the mountains, what profit can be made by paying for a village chief?
But these are not what we should investigate, so I didn't pursue them.

Song Miaozheng was a little embarrassed by Nangong's words, while Zhang Rui smiled and said, "This is how our colleague talks, don't take offense, it's all arranged anyway, so go back first, if you need anything, We'll call you again."

Hearing what Zhang Rui said, Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe's uncle and nephew left.

On the other hand, Nangong Yuzhang let out a "hum" resolutely, his tone full of contempt and contempt.

After Song Miaozheng and Song Yihe walked away, Zhang Rui said to Nangong Yuzhang: "Fellow Nangong, we are here to investigate the case, not to cause trouble. Why do you have to argue with two ordinary people?"

Nangong Xun said: "I hate those people who practice favoritism and abuse the law the most. You can tell at a glance that the position of village head Song Yihe is not clean. They have done dirty things, so why don't people tell the truth? "

Zhang Rui also shook his head helplessly.

On my side, I felt a novelty. I didn’t expect that Nangong Xiong would still be such a person who hates evil. Although she has a strong murderous intention, she is still kind in her heart. No wonder the senior Tang who tested our Dao Xin said, Dao heart is still above me.

There are some things that I found out, but I don't want to take care of them, but Nangong Xiong is different. She will definitely "voice up" or even take action when she doesn't like things. She has a heroine demeanor on her body. From a point of view, Nangong Yuzhang is indeed stronger than me.

If there were fewer people in the world who dared to speak out for justice like Nangong Yuzhang, the darkness and villains would be even more rampant.

In this way, I should learn more from Nangong Yuzhang, so I said to Zhang Rui: "Nangong did the right thing, but he just told the truth, and he didn't do anything to them."

Hearing what I said, Nangong Xiong looked at me approvingly and said: "Not bad, there is progress."

Zhang Rui didn't want to offend me, let alone Nangong Xiong, so naturally he wouldn't argue any more.

Next, the four of us divided up the rooms. Nangong Xiong wanted to live in the best one, and we had no choice but to share the remaining two rooms with Zhang Rui and Tang Qing.

Tang Qing is a girl, so Zhang Rui and I left the best to Tang Qing, and then we squeezed into the same room.

It just rained during the day, so we didn't plan to go into the mountains at night. Song Miaozheng brought us dinner at six or seven o'clock, and he didn't say anything to me.

We fell asleep shortly after eating.

Around midnight, we suddenly heard the footsteps of a group of people walking past the gate of the village committee.

We quickly got up and came out of the house to ask what those people were doing.

Those people also knew that we were members of the investigation team, so they answered us, saying that they went to the mountains to collect herbs.

They held hammers, electric picks and other things in their hands. At first glance, they could not have gone into the mountains to collect medicine, but they looked a bit like they were going to mine.

But why do they insist on picking at night? There must be something tricky about it.

I smiled at them and said, "You guys collect herbs with hammers and electric picks, stop joking, tell the truth, what are you doing?"

One of the leaders said: "If you want to know, just ask our branch secretary and village chief, we are just working!"

After speaking, the group of people left directly and ignored us at all.

There are about sixteen or seventeen people in that group, most of them are young and middle-aged laborers. Accidents happen all the time in the deep mountains. Aren't they afraid?Dare to enter the mountain in the middle of the night?
After those people were far away, Nangong Xiong asked me: "Do you want to catch up?"

I thought for a while and said, "Let's follow up and have a look, but we have to follow up secretly, so as not to be discovered by them."

Nangong Xiong smiled and said, "It's you who should be most worried about this problem. I, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing all have the supernatural ability to hide our body shape, but you don't!"

Indeed, among the four of us, only I am not a celestial master...

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just talking about myself, well, let's keep up after they walk a certain distance."

What are those people doing in the mountains late at night?Could it be related to the mountain cannibalism?
