Chapter 129 thick fog
The young monk did not stay in the courtyard for much time. After handing over with Zheng Minda, he took his fellow disciples to the business car parked outside the door and left. Only Zheng Minda and Gu Yaopan were left in the courtyard.
"Okay! Now we can tell us the story about this incident carefully? Director Rong didn't say it very much. I think we need to know more."
Tao Mengchu looked at Gu Yaopan's face and turned to Zheng Minda and said.
"Let's talk about it in the house." Zheng Minda looked at the shadow of the car that was moving away from the courtyard and replied without looking back.
The living room was not big, so Mrs. Zhu left after sending tea, leaving only Mr. Zhu with Zheng Minda and Gu Yaopan. The fragrance of tea rising from the rim created a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere among the people, but the four of them here were in no good mood.
Gu Yaopan picked up the tea and took a sip. Tao Mengchu also drank like that. Both of them were waiting for Zheng Minda to speak.
"I got the news about this incident two weeks ago." Zheng Minda turned the tea cup in her hand, as if she was also considering how to word it.
"The problem is a small village between Songshan and Zhengzhou, which belongs to the Wuduling area and has a permanent population of more than 300. But you also know that most young people in the village are working outside, and only some elderly people and children are left, so the village has a population of about 100 people."
Speaking of this, Zheng Minda's face became increasingly ugly, as if he had remembered something bad. Mr. Zhu looked bad. Gu Yaopan keenly noticed the changes in their faces, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Tao Mengchu with difficulty, and it happened to meet the sight he was looking at. Both of them had a bad premonition.
"Three weeks ago, a child in the village was lost. Three days after reporting to the local police station, the child's body was found on Wuduling. The death was very tragic. At first, the police were preparing to close the case because of a wild beast attack. However, within the next week, several such incidents occurred one after another, and even adults disappeared, which could be found on the third day. In this way, basically, people disappeared every day, and missing people were found every day. During this period, there were no less than ten people missing, whether adults or children, they were all divided into tragic deaths. This made the situation big, and the people in the village were panic. Many elderly people took their children to leave the village and go to the city to find young and strong people who worked."
When he said this, Zheng Minda took a breath and continued:
"But the problem is... none of these people can come out! In the second week, the police officer from the police station came out. Starting a week ago, even the police officers and two criminal police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade were trapped in this village. The monk was discovered outside the village last night. The only person who came out was like this when he was discovered."
Having said this, Zheng Minda took a long breath, and the expression on her face was extremely solemn.
"As soon as I found that the people in the village could not get out, the armed police had already been arranged outside the village and no longer allowed people to enter. This monk was sent by the armed police."
"Can't you get out? Why can't you get out?" Tao Mengchu looked at Zheng Minda and asked strangely.
"When I learned the news two weeks ago, I went to that village to see it. At that time, I felt that the whole village was covered with a thin layer of fog. However, it was normal for the fog in the mountains to be there. I didn't care at that time. The Zen disciples went with me and left them directly in the village. I took over the handling of this matter, so I didn't stay any longer. I came back to make a record of this. However, after a week, the Zen disciples had not returned yet, and I was a little surprised. When I went to that village, I found that the entire village was covered with a thick fog. I could only hear the voices and shouts of people in the village, but I couldn't see people coming out."
Having said that, Zheng Minda hugged her head dejectedly. Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu could see Zheng Minda's self-blame. If he hadn't been used to handing over the matter to Zen Buddhism to solve it, he wouldn't have gone a week to see the situation, and maybe things wouldn't have developed to this point.
But this cannot be blamed. Henan is also one of the Zen ancestral temples. The prosperity of Buddhism is ranked among the nationwide. In addition, the special office was established shortly after it was established and the staff was severely insufficient, so it is understandable that such a thing would happen.
But when things developed to this extent, Gu Yaopan and his two plans to rest were about to fail. Now they can only rush to the village every minute. The earlier they arrive, the sooner they can rescue the people in the village.
"By the way." Tao Mengchu, who stood up and was about to go out, suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Zheng Minda and said, "What are the names of those Zen disciples who went with you?"
"One is called Hengfa, the other is called Hengchang. The one you see today is called Hengchang, and the other is a lay disciple, called Shi Dejing."
Zheng Minda hesitated for a moment and said the names of the three Zen disciples, and then saw Tao Mengchu change his face.
"As long as he is, can't this guy calm down?" Tao Mengchu looked at Gu Yaopan with some headache.
"No wonder Lin Qianqian can't contact him." Gu Yaopan raised an eyebrow.
As soon as this happened, she had a premonition that Shi Dejing got involved. As expected, she didn't know what Shi Dejing was doing now. Thinking about his Buddhist beads that had been blessed for a long time, Gu Yaopan still tended to be fine in his heart.
Wuduling is not too far from Zhengzhou, only a hundred kilometers away. If it is in a plain area, it will only take an hour to get on the expressway, but it is different when you enter the mountain. Zheng Minda's off-road vehicle ran for nearly three hours before reaching their destination just at dawn.
As soon as the off-road vehicle arrived at the periphery of Chenjia Village, he was just swaying by the side of the field where he returned to Qing. The armed police on duty came up. After checking the IDs of Zheng Minda and the other two, he saluted a standard military salute to the three of them. Then Zheng Minda drove into the area of Chenjia Village.
As soon as he entered the scope of Chenjia Village, Gu Yaopan lowered the car window and looked at the white mist gradually growing outside the window.
This layer of fog is very strange. The closer it is to the end of Chenjia Village, the thicker it is. It seems like something is spewing outwards, surging towards the village layer by layer. For some reason, the village was silent at this time, and even the sound of insects could not be heard, let alone the sound of humans and dogs barking.
"It's so quiet." Tao Mengchu took out the compass from his backpack, but saw the pointer spinning wildly on the compass.
"I asked the armed police who sent Master Hengchang to the past. They said they could still hear the voices of the villagers, but it seemed that there were fewer people. I have never encountered such a situation today."
