C1519 Mysterious 412 Cases
At around three in the morning, a shadow drilled its way out from the bushes on the side of the road. If someone happened to pass by, they would definitely be shocked.
He was a beggar. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and on his shoulder, there was a snake skin bag of unknown color. It was filled with what seemed to be some sort of mineral water bottle.
Under the starlight, the beggar looked towards the direction where Gao Fei drove off. The corner of his mouth flashed with a strange smile as he muttered something. His body suddenly stiffened and he slowly turned his head over.
When humans faced unknown dangers, they would always have a mysterious sixth sense to warn them. Although the beggar was dressed in rags, he was also a human and had this kind of instinctive reaction.
He felt a sense of danger, as if he had become the prey of a ferocious beast, and was being closely watched.
He slowly turned around and saw a black shadow.
It was too dark to see what the black shadow looked like. However, with the help of the starlight, the beggar could tell that the black shadow was very tall and sturdy. It should be a man.
The black shadow was standing seven to eight meters behind him, on the slope of the Big Dipper Sword. Its pair of eyes were frighteningly bright under the starry sky, and its gaze was cold like that of a wild beast.
"Ghost, ghost!"
The beggar stared blankly at the motionless shadow. After staring blankly for a full ten seconds, he suddenly let out a scream, turned around and ran away. However, he bumped into a person.
Just as he turned to look at the black shadow, another person appeared behind him like a ghost.
This person was not as tall and sturdy as the other person, and he was also bald.
After the beggar turned around and crashed into his chest, before he could react, his right wrist was grabbed. He lightly pulled to the side and his right foot extended out. The beggar fell to the ground with a "Pa Da" sound.
"Spare me, spare me!"
The beggar flipped over and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to the baldy as he begged for mercy. His voice was filled with the sobbing sound of panic.
"Who are you?"
A calm male voice came from behind the beggar, "Why did you appear here in the middle of the night?"
"I … I'm a beggar. I usually pick up trash here."
The beggar answered with a shaky voice, "Ghost, ghost grandpa, let me go. I have never done anything bad in my life, at most I only coaxed a child to eat ice cream for me …"
"Are you a beggar?"
The baldy spoke with a clear and bright voice. He raised his hand and turned on the flashlight. It flashed across his face before it was extinguished: "Lao Tieh, this guy is really a beggar."
This Lao Tieh and the baldy were none other than Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang.
It was not too strange to see a beggar in the wilderness in the middle of the night. After all, beggars lived in the four seas, not to mention the Yellow River Nature Park. Yesterday was Sunday, so many Citizen came here to relax, leaving behind rubbish like mineral water bottles.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Tieh Tu walked over and kicked the snakeskin bag on the floor. After hearing the sound of the mineral water bottles hitting each other, he slowed down and said to the beggar: "From now on, don't get up at night to travel around, be careful not to be seen as a criminal suspect in the disappearance of number 412 by our Enforcer."
On the evening of April 12th this year, a case of disappearance occurred in Jinyang County, north of the Yellow River. There were three young girls who had just entered primary school, and when they came to play in the Yellow River Nature Park, they mysteriously disappeared.
It was a mystery because three days after the murder, the families of the missing received three hundred thousand yuan in cash and a letter.
The letter told the parents not to worry, because the children were safe and sound, only because they were good seedlings for doing certain things and had been taken away to be nurtured. If they could work hard and work hard, they might come back as a pacifier once their studies were over, and this three hundred thousand yuan would be the gold to appease the parents of the children.
The most noticeable part of this letter was the three words, 'Possibly'.
It could mean that the three girls might come back, or they might never come back.
It was also on April 12th. In all 18 cities around the country, there were cases of this kind. There were a total of 100 children around the age of seven or eight who had gone missing, both male and female.
The case immediately attracted the attention of the country's highest authorities.
Lee Chengming, who had just become the head of Jinan City, went to Jingdu City to participate in the emergency meeting held by his superior.
Over there, he learned a lot of top secret information about the '412' case.
It turned out that such a group disappearance had happened three times.
This year was the fourth.
The date of every case of disappearance was April 12th. The families of each missing person would receive a pacification fee.
Moreover, it only appeared once every twenty years. Every time it appeared, there would be a hundred children. Fifty little girls and fifty little boys, no less and no less.
Since the first case, the relevant state authorities had been investigating it -- but sixty years had passed, and people had already experienced three such mysterious disappearances, yet the case had never been solved.
Lee Chengming was sure, 412 big cases, was definitely handled by a strict evil organization. According to the top-secret files kept by the higher-ups, the investigators were certain that the 412 cases were related to Evil Cult like Anggui Cult, but no matter how much police force they put in, they could not find any clues, and could only squeeze them down one by one.
This year, 20 years had passed since the last 412 disappearance.
Sure enough, another 100 children 'regularly' went missing.
I heard that the authority is furious. They are strictly ordering the authorities to solve the case at all costs, or else — no one can guarantee that hundreds of black muslin hats will land on the ground!
The reason why Tieh Tu knew about the 412 cases of disappearance was from the newspapers.
Tonight, he and Ye Xinshang arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River to search for something. He accidentally saw a car flashing when he got on the car. When they decided to come over to take a look, the car was already gone.
Then, they saw the beggar. After that, he pretended to be a member of the Enforcer and came here to investigate 412 cases in secret. This excuse was a good cover for why they were here.
Hearing Tieh Tu call himself a person from Enforcer, and also mentioning the 412 big cases that people around here often talk about, the beggar quickly said: "I, I don't dare to do that kind of wicked things! Believe me, Inspector, believe me to be innocent. "
"Scram! Don't suddenly appear on the road in the middle of the night!"
Tieh Tu's eyes were filled with disgust as he kicked the beggar's butt.
"Thank you, thank you officer! I will get lost now, get lost!"
The beggar was overjoyed. He quickly grabbed the snakeskin bag on the ground, turned around and ran down the big bag, and soon disappeared into the forest.
Looking in the direction the beggar ran, Ye Xinshang handed Tieh Tu a cigarette. After lighting another one, he said, "When you kicked his bag, did you sense anything else?"
"Yes, there's a snake inside."
Tieh Tu let out a smoke ring and lightly said, "Xinshang, you have a sensitive sense of smell. Can you smell the snake in the bag? What kind of snake is it?"
In the hearts of most people, it was as normal as a two-year-old boy running around with a rooster in his crotch pants. All of this was influenced by the Wuxia TV series, but in reality, beggars rarely played with that kind of thing.
However, there was a snake in that beggar's snakeskin pouch.
Ye Xinshang sniffed and said slowly, "It's a black King Snake."
Ye Xinshang had seen the black King Snake underground before and was very sensitive to the smell of their bodies. Therefore, when Tieh Tu raised his foot to kick the skin bag, he touched the snake inside and made it open its mouth, releasing a unique stench.
"Black King Snake? Looks like he has some sort of relationship with the underground Lou Lan, or even the Anggui Cult. "
Tieh Tu frowned.
Even if beggars could play with snakes, ordinary beggars wouldn't have the qualifications to play with these black King Snake.1
Ye Xinshang sniffed the black King Snake but did not stop Tieh Tu from letting him go.
That was because he knew that when Tieh Tu kicked the beggar's butt, he had already left a mark: a kind of non-toxic white phosphorus used by grave robbers to remember the road.
The white phosphorus was carefully treated. Once it was glued to the clothes, it couldn't be washed away even with water. Moreover, it would also emit a faint strange smell. It was definitely one of the best tracking devices.
"Who knows? The black King Snake seems to be spread all over the Ancestral Kingdom, we can't figure out where it came from."
Ye Xinshang threw away the cigarette he just smoked and walked down the slope towards the park, "Let's go and see where that man has gone to. Maybe, if we are lucky, we can find the tomb that he is looking for. "
Just as Gao Fei guessed, Tieh Tu and Wu Hao came here at night to look for the ancient tomb.
A few days ago, when the two of them escorted Zhang Wenwen to Jinnan, after seeing Gao Fei, they originally wanted to go to the Qin Mountains early in the morning to find the most suitable ancient tomb and spend the night on Faang Family Village Mountain to cool down. However, based on the stars, Tieh Tu was able to deduce that within a hundred kilometers, there was actually a Dragon Point hiding with good feng shui.
