Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 2 Gaotang Town

Relying on Donghu City, Gaotang Town has convenient transportation and a developed economy. It is like a small town, but its forestry resources are quite poor. Both financial revenue and extra money are quite limited. Compared with the majestic police station tens of meters away, the forestry industry The station looked a little dilapidated and bleak.

Luo Yuan walked into the lobby on the first floor, the service window was deserted, and several civil servants were either playing card games or chatting. He took a look and went straight to the second floor!

There was no one in the stationmaster's office, so Luo Yuan had no choice but to knock on the deputy stationmaster's office.

"Come in!"

He pushed open the door, and sitting in the office was a fat middle-aged man with heavy bags under his eyes and looked a little swollen. Seeing Luo Yuan coming in, he glanced quickly: "What do you want?" Then he stared at the documents on the table and read them.

This feeling of being ignored made Luo Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, but he still laughed and said: "Hello, I am Chen Weiqiang's brother-in-law. He visited Gaotang Town with Director He of the Municipal Bureau yesterday, but until now he still has no If they didn’t come back, my sister asked me to come over and ask, do you know where they went?”

The middle-aged man finally raised his head, with obvious surprise on his face: "Director He and Xiao Chen didn't go back, wait, I'll make a call."

He stood up, took out his mobile phone and kept dialing, the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more, after a few minutes, he finally sat down slumped.

"Where did they go yesterday?" Luo Yuan couldn't help asking curiously.

"Yesterday Director He, Mayor Xia, Station Master Wang, and Xiao Chen went to the mountains to inspect after lunch. Logically speaking, they should have returned yesterday. Have you called Xiao Chen? I can't make a mistake, maybe I went somewhere to play." He said in a panic.

Luo Yuan was shocked, with a bad premonition.

He quickly said: "My sister has already called several times. I went to the Municipal Forestry Bureau again in the morning and asked the leader of the Forestry Bureau. As a result, Director He did not come back. They are probably still on the mountain. The most urgent thing to do now is It is to ask the police station for help to search in the mountains!"

"Yes! Yes!" He nodded again and again. If there is something wrong with the leaders of the city bureau, the deputy mayor, and the station master, not only the town government will name and criticize him, but he, the deputy station chief, will do it too. He stood up quickly and made a call.

"Hey!"

"Director Xie? I'm Cao Minghua from the Forestry Station...Yes...I'll go to your place later...I can't make it clear on the phone...I'll be right over!"

He hung up the phone: "Go, you go to the police station with me!"

Luo Yuan and deputy station chief Cao quickly walked out of the forestry station and walked towards the nearby police station.

Ten minutes later, deputy station chief Cao led Luo Yuan into the director's office, and explained the ins and outs of the incident. Director Xie also felt his scalp tingle, and he stood up dissatisfied: "It's been almost a day and a night. Why didn't I find out until now?" Seeing Cao Minghua's face was ugly, he waved his hand: "I'll call Secretary Zhao first!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and walked out of the office. When he came back, he had a serious face: "Go back and wait for the news. I will send a few people up the mountain to look for it immediately. I will definitely find him."

"Okay! Okay! Then please thank the director!" Deputy Station Master Cao nodded heavily, got up and was about to leave.

Luo Yuan saw that he had nothing to do, how could this be done, how could the task be completed without his own personal experience. He hurriedly said, "Thank you Director, I'm going too!"

"The mountain is very dangerous, we have no spare power to protect you. Can you wait here with peace of mind?" Director Xie frowned and refused.

"I also know that the mountain is very dangerous, but the missing is my brother-in-law, how can I wait for the news with peace of mind, and I have practiced boxing for a while, and I will never cause trouble to you." Luo Yuan said excitedly.

Director Xie took a look at Luo Yuan and saw that he was tall and well-proportioned, with well-proportioned muscles. He had obviously been exercising regularly, and he might be able to help him on the mountain, so he said, "That's good, but all actions must be obeyed!"

"I promise to obey the command!" Luo Yuan said hastily.

After Director Xie finished speaking, he called again: "Captain Chen, call three people to stand by immediately, and then come to my office!"

After he hung up the phone, not long after, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a thin body walked into the office: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Well, put the work at hand first. There is an urgent matter. Several city leaders and Mayor Xia disappeared in the mountains. I want you to go to the mountains immediately to find someone!"

His face changed slightly, and he immediately became serious: "I'll go right away, Director, what else can I order?"

"Well, this is Luo Yuan, a relative of one of the missing persons, he is going with him too, you take him!"

He glanced at Luo Yuan: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

After finishing speaking, he said coldly to Luo Yuan: "Come with me!"

The two walked out of the office, and there were already three people waiting in the corridor, two men and one woman, most of them looked less than thirty.

Luo Yuan's eyes naturally focused on the beautiful young woman first. She has fair skin, a light blue short-sleeved police uniform, and a police uniform on her lower body. She has a slender waist, fair skin, and a pair of big eyes, which are particularly eye-catching.

Luo Yuan glanced at it, but didn't dare to look any further, so he turned his gaze away.

Of the other two, one of them was tall, about thirty, with pimples all over his face and a short-shaved head. If he wasn't wearing a police uniform, he would have looked more like a bandit. The last one has an immature face, as if he has just been a policeman for a long time.

"Captain Chen, what's the task today? Why are you in such a hurry!" Bancuntou asked Captain Chen carelessly, his tone not very respectful.

"Let's talk about it later. Everyone put on long-sleeved police uniforms and prepare guns and ammunition. We are going into the mountains. Wang Fei, you can also find a suit for Luo Yuan, and he will go too." He glanced at the board-bunk, Instructed another youthful policeman.

"Yes, Captain!" Wang Fei responded immediately, turned to Luo Yuan and said, "Come with me, your figure should be about the same as mine, you don't mind wearing mine, do you?"

"How can I. Thank you!" Luo Yuan asked with a smile: "Officer Wang, you are a civil servant who took the exam this year!"

Wang Fei said with a smile: "Fuck, I didn't pass the exam, but I graduated from the police academy, and I have some connections, so I came here as a joint defense team member. But if you do a good job, you can become a full-time member if you do a good job. Anyway, let's do it first." chant!"

"That's not bad, at least there should be no shortage of benefits!"

"Almost, fool around!"

Even so, there was a hint of reservedness in his tone. He took out two sets of police uniforms and two pairs of police boots from the closet, and threw one set to Luo Yuan.

The weather has been warm and humid recently. This long-sleeved shirt has obviously not been worn for a long time, and it has a mildewy smell, but it is still clean. When Luo Yuan changed his clothes, Bancuntou also walked in and patted on the shirt. Luo Yuan's head: "It's a bit of a policeman's temperament, where did you come from, why do you want to go into the mountains?"

Luo Yuan was a little upset, moved his head away calmly, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law disappeared in the mountains. I will follow to find him. By the way, my name is Luo Yuan. What is the police officer's name?"

"Just call me Zhao Qiang." Zhao Qiang also knew that he had offended the young man, so he grinned and said, "Don't mind, I'm used to it! By the way, who is your brother-in-law?"

"City Forestry Bureau." Luo Yuan said vaguely. After finishing speaking, he didn't want to talk to Zhao Qiang, and asked Wang Fei, "Can you also give me a gun for self-defense? I heard that the mountains are quite dangerous."

"Can you take the gun casually? This is a violation of the regulations. Absolutely not!" Wang Fei shook his head repeatedly.

"Then can you give me a knife, I can't go up the mountain with bare hands!" Luo Yuan retreated and asked the next best thing. This time it's an F+ mission, obviously very dangerous without a weapon.

"Okay, I'll ask Captain Chen!" After speaking, he walked out of the changing room.

After a while, he came back and said, "Guns are not allowed, but knives are allowed. Anyway, there are a lot of knives confiscated. I will take you to the storage room!"

The two came to the storage room at the end of the corridor. Wang Fei opened one of the large boxes, and there were all kinds of short weapons in it: pocket knives, watermelon knives, daggers, fruit knives, machetes, butcher's knives... It was simply a folk weapon. Encyclopedia.

"Choose one!" Wang Fei said generously.

Luo Yuan thought that there were snakes and other creatures on the mountain, and there were many vines and branches. Short weapons like daggers were basically useless, and the watermelon knife seemed light, and it had little strength to cut it. He picked and picked one at last. A machete suitable for chopping.

Luo Yuan slashed the air a few times, tried the feel, and it felt good. At the same time, he silently read the appraisal in his heart, and a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"A sharp machete."

"Material: Alloy."

"Rarity: White."

"Weight: 2.5 kg."

"Sharpness: 10-15."

"Equipment Requirement: Strength 9"

"Evaluation: This is a modern agricultural reclamation weapon. It is suitable for land reclamation, wood cutting, and of course it can also kill people. The quality is average, the blade is strong, and it is good for chopping!"

Not bad, much sharper than the kitchen knife at home, said: "This is it!"

"Then let's go! Captain Chen is waiting for us." Wang Fei said.

The two walked out of the gate on the first floor, Captain Chen and the others were already sitting in the police car. Luo Yuan quickened his pace, opened the car door, sat in it, and the car started to drive out of the town.

After a while, the police car got off the main road and turned to a small road. Both sides of the road were green and rolling!

"This should be farmland!" Luo Yuan asked uncertainly. There are lush weeds everywhere in the field. What is surprising is that these weeds have grown to a height of more than one meter, and the color of the land can no longer be seen clearly. When the wind blows, the weeds undulate and look like a green ocean.

"It seems to be." The policewoman sitting in the co-pilot was also surprised: "I remember that I came here more than ten days ago, and the grass was not so lush. How did it change so much? The grass is almost growing to the concrete road. "

"Since the grass here grows like this, wouldn't it be more difficult to walk on the mountain? Team Chen, how can you take on such a task? Maybe we will disappear by then!" Zhao Qiang laughed.

"Yeah, I heard it's dangerous to go up the mountain now." The policewoman persuaded.

"You have something to tell Xie, what's the use of telling me?" Captain Chen in the driver's cab said with a gloomy face. He was also a little depressed. Recently, the number of missing persons cases has increased sharply. Up to now, five people have disappeared. And most of them are in the villages at the foot of Mount Zhu. He knows the danger of Mount Zhu better than anyone else. But what can he do, the task assigned by the director himself, can he not do it?

"It shouldn't be that dangerous in the mountains, right? Besides, we all carry guns, so even large creatures like wild boars can be dealt with." Luo Yuan interrupted at this moment, and let them continue the discussion like this. It might be possible to go back directly after turning around outside.

Only then did everyone notice that there was a family member of the victim here!

"Okay, don't discuss it. We are the police. How can we shrink back when encountering difficulties and make others laugh. This mountain must be climbed, but if it is too dangerous, we will go back. This can be regarded as an explanation. Xiao Luo, what do you think?" Team Chen said.

"No problem, if we are in danger, my brother-in-law is probably too..." Luo Yuan said in a low voice.

This is the only way to go, let’s take one step at a time, if it is too dangerous, this task can only be given up, although it will deduct a lot of experience, but it is better than dying. Luo Yuan thought silently in his heart!

Half an hour later, the car drove into a remote village and finally stopped.

Luo Yuan got off the police car and looked forward. It was a piece of dark green undulating hills with a drop of less than 200 meters, but the height of less than 200 meters made Luo Yuan feel a little depressed.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, let's have lunch first, and go up the mountain in an hour!" Captain Chen said, looking at the hill in front of him, then at his watch, and then walked towards a small restaurant on the roadside.
