Paranormal incident investigation notes

After a moment of discussion, combined with the current number of suspected clues that are screened out every day, as well as the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized, and a comprehensive balance, a few people finally decided to select clues according to one percent of the number for verification. .

As of now, the four people have a total of 1,056 clues waiting to be verified. One percent is 10 or 11.

Lu Ming numbered all these clues, and then introduced a random number generation system - the random number "seed" used by this system comes from the real world, and the random numbers it generates are truly random, rather than simply passing through Pseudorandom numbers generated by computer algorithms.

Through this random number generation system, Lu Ming ordered it to generate 10 or 11 random numbers out of a total of 1056 numbers from 1 to 1056.

Eventually, 11 numbers were generated.

According to the number, Lu Ming took out the corresponding clues. Zhang Dingshan looked through it and took four copies for himself, He Wei took four copies, and Lu Ming got three copies.

As a newbie, Lu Ming received a little extra care, so the quantity was reduced.

"Okay, let's go to work."

Zhang Dingshan clapped the clue file in his hand and said, "Tomorrow's clues will be processed in the same way. However, the clues selected at random in the end will be distributed according to the principle of territoriality. Whoever is closer to the incident will be responsible for checking which clue."

"yes."

"good."

Lu Qingliang was still sitting in the rear, providing logistical support at any time, while Lu Ming and the other two took planes to leave the capital city.

This is a city that Lu Ming has never been to before. It has a small population, a mediocre economy, no beautiful scenery, and no outstanding culture. Before arriving, Lu Ming didn't even know the existence of this city.

Lu Ming didn't have any relatives or friends in this city, not even anyone he knew.

Fortunately, Lu Ming already had a good understanding of the investigation process of Operation Team 2 and had some experience. He was no longer a pure newcomer.

After getting off the plane, he went directly to the city's Public Security Bureau. After showing his ID and documents, he immediately had a team of security guards ready for deployment.

He didn't reveal much information to his temporary subordinates, he just told them what they needed to do.

"Thirty-six years ago, a fire broke out in Jinxi Logistics Park in this city. Afterwards, disaster statistics showed that a total of more than 10,000 tons of coatings and insulation materials temporarily stored there by a building materials company were destroyed. However, according to fire department records, at that time, During the fire fighting, the scale of the fire was not too large and did not match the scale of the affected materials. This matter needs to be investigated clearly to see what happened."

The temporary subordinates were very confused about this matter.

36 years ago, it was just a batch of building materials that was lost. Is it worth going through such a high-profile investigation again? What is the significance of this matter?

But remembering the identity of the young man in front of them, the security guards still kept their doubts in their hearts.

Just do whatever your superiors tell you to do, don’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask, and don’t think too much about things you shouldn’t think about, and you will never make mistakes.

After arranging things here, holding a meeting to discuss investigation ideas, sharing some existing information, and requiring any progress to be reported to him immediately, Lu Ming headed to the next city without stopping.

In this similarly unknown city, Lu Ming once again came to the local public security bureau and received the cooperation of the local government.

"In the Lishan villa area, the wealthy businessman surnamed Feng has a manor with a total area of ​​more than 40,000 square meters. The manor was built 35 years ago, but intelligence shows that from 35 years ago to 28 years ago, this manor A large amount of building materials were shipped to the manor every year for seven years, and a large number of construction workers were active there all year round.

According to statistics, within seven years, the building materials shipped to the manor were enough to build ten such manors. Go find out what this is all about. "

A team of security guards was immediately ordered to set off.

Lu Ming contacted other professional surveying and mapping personnel and came here with professional vibration testing equipment without notifying anyone.

Less than a hundred meters away from the manor, Lu Ming gave the order.

"Detonate a bomb here and check if there are any holes in the surrounding ground."

"yes."

The surveyors immediately took action. After taking safety precautions and setting up the detection instruments, a large amount of data was immediately generated with a low muffled sound.

"There are no holes in the ground."

Faced with this result, Lu Ming was not satisfied. He led the surveyors to the other side of the manor and once again selected a detonation point.

"No holes either."

In this way, four locations were surveyed and mapped. All four locations gave the same results.

There really is no void underground in this manor.

Of course, it is also possible that the cavity is located extremely deep underground, even more than 100 meters. In this case, our own instruments will not be able to detect it.

But now, Lu Ming has not seen the necessity of further exploration.

Let's wait for the security team's investigation results to come out first.

To Lu Ming's expectation, the security team presented the investigation results to Lu Ming that night.

That's a video file. In the video, an elderly man in his sixties, elegant and well-maintained was being questioned by the security guards.

"This is the steward of the Feng Family Manor. He has served the Feng Family for more than thirty years. He presided over the construction of this Feng Family Manor."

Lu Ming nodded and read on.

"Name?"

"Von."

"Profession?"

"Head of Logistics Department and Secretary to the President of Feng Group."

"Hello, Secretary Feng. We are here today to ask you some questions. We hope you can cooperate with us. We will record and videotape the entire process. I hope you can understand."

Because he was not interrogating a suspect, the security officer's attitude was quite friendly.

"Our Feng Group has always been law-abiding and committed to public welfare. It is our duty to cooperate with your investigation. You can rest assured."

The security officer responsible for questioning seemed very experienced. As if chatting, he chatted with Feng End for a long time before getting to the main point seemingly unintentionally.

"Were you responsible for building this manor? It's so big and well-built."

"The old president trusted me and handed this matter over to me."

"I heard that the construction of this manor didn't seem to go well?"

In the picture, Feng En couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, this village was built nine times and demolished nine times. It was only on the tenth time that the old president was finally satisfied and the decision was made."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Feng En seemed to be complaining: "The old president was fascinated by that fake Taoist priest at the beginning and obeyed the fake Taoist priest's words. The fake Taoist priest said he wanted to test some kind of wealth-gathering formation. Once successful, it would bring the Feng family to a higher level. Old CEO I just believed it and started to mess around with it. I demolished it and built it, then built it and said it was no longer possible, then demolished it again, demolished it again and built it again... That fake Taoist priest had colluded with the building materials company for a long time, and I don’t know how much kickbacks he got. I and I The old president said it, but he still doesn’t believe it..."

Feng En seems to be quite dissatisfied with the old president, and he is full of praise and protection for the old president's son and current president.

"On the tenth time, the fake Taoist priest finally said it was done, but the Feng Group was still the same. The old president also died of illness in the fifth year. It was only after the younger president took over to take care of the business that the Feng Group started to go smoothly. , that’s how we reached today’s scale.”

Feng En talked a lot and explained everything that happened that year.

"Oh? Then where did all the construction waste go after the demolition?"

"It's right there."

Feng En stood up and led the questioning security officer to the garden, pointing to a rockery: "They are all piled up there. Cover them with soil and plant some flowers and plants."

It was a rockery with a height of more than 20 meters and an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

"Can I take a look?"

"sure."

Several security guards walked into the camera and climbed onto the rockery. Then, he tried to dig a hole with a shovel. After digging a short distance, the cement remains underneath were revealed.

"Okay, we have nothing to do. Please forgive me."

Several security guards said goodbye and left. This ends the interrogation record.

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

The suspicion here can be eliminated.

At this moment, he was not disappointed. Because he knows very well that based on the screening standards currently implemented by his side, it is highly likely that these clues will eventually be eliminated as suspects.

He has already done some mental construction.

Our own behavior is nothing more than doing our best and obeying fate out of desperation.

Just when he was about to rush to the next city, the results were reported in the first city.

"The matter has been cleared up."

The captain of the security team looked a little weird.

"Actually, this matter was concluded at the beginning, but the messages between different systems were not communicated, so there was a misunderstanding. Well, the specific situation is this.

At that time, the person in charge of managing this batch of building materials in the company had moved most of the building materials one day in advance, but there was no record. Then there happened to be a fire the next day, and he lied to the superiors that everything was destroyed. In fact, he had misappropriated the building materials that had been transferred in advance.

Later, the company discovered this, called the police and arrested him, and then sentenced him to seven years in prison. He came out more than 20 years ago, and this man died three years ago. The company had recovered the batch of building materials at that time. "

The captain of the security team showed relevant evidence to Lu Ming. There are copies of the trial records at that time, copies of the judgments, etc.

"Okay, I understand. Please excuse me."

Lu Ming shook hands with these temporary subordinates one by one. After that, the temporary investigation team was immediately disbanded, and the security officers returned to their respective posts.

At this moment, two of the three clues in Lu Ming's hands have been eliminated, leaving only the last one.

The location of this clue is located in another city. On the outskirts of that city, there is an area of ​​about one hundred square kilometers, which is a "safe zone" in the simulation test of an asteroid impact on the earth.

This clue is a little weirder.

According to records from the transportation department, one day 38 years ago, a large number of construction workers and building materials converged on a canyon in the area via Highway 159 and Highway 334. Judging from its scale, it seemed that they were going to carry out a major project.

But it is obvious that no major projects have been carried out in that place until now, and no major projects have been reported to the competent authorities.

The busy transportation lasted for more than two months, and after that, there was no follow-up to the matter. No department has recorded what happened there, and no one knows where the building materials and personnel subsequently went.

At this moment, Lu Ming was standing in this canyon.

The terrain of this canyon is not too steep. The mountains on both sides of it are not high and the slope is gentle. There is a small river at the bottom of it, and several villages are scattered on the gentle slopes on both sides.

To investigate this clue, the best way is undoubtedly to visit and ask middle-aged and elderly people who live in the local area and are over 50 years old. Because when this happened, they had at least remembered it.

However, after visiting and investigating, the conclusions drawn are varied.

Some claim to build a bridge, some claim to develop tourist areas, some claim to build roads, some claim to build villas...

As for why this project was stopped later, there is no explanation, and people are still confused. It’s not clear what to do with the building materials that were originally shipped here.

Some people said they saw trucks pulling them away, but they didn't know how much they were pulling away or where they were taking them. Some people said that they saw a mountain of cement before going to bed, but it was gone the next day, and they don’t know where it went.

Lu Ming knew that this matter seemed strange and completely confusing now, but the truth was most likely very simple.

Maybe a company decided to build something here, only to have everything shipped, and then found it was not feasible, and had to retreat in a hurry. It's also possible that a temporary change occurred in the planning, resulting in the place being abandoned.

In short, the truth is most likely simple. But too much time has passed and too much information has been lost, so this matter began to be shrouded in mystery. Moreover, it is impossible to completely restore the truth unless a major war is launched.

Regarding this, Lu Ming's choice was not to investigate what the truth was. He just selected some locations, directly dispatched the ground drilling equipment, and directly carried out the shock test.

Explosives and instruments will be sent to a depth of tens of meters underground.

Although this is very troublesome, time-consuming and expensive, the advantage is that the detection accuracy is high enough and the detection depth and range are wide enough.

With a few low muffled sounds, the test results appeared quickly.

"There's no void down there."

Lu Ming shook his head, dismissed the inspection team, and left here directly.

As for what the original truth was, he had no interest in exploring it.

The three clues on the first day have all been eliminated so far. This took Lu Ming two days in total. At this moment, Lu Ming had seven new clues in his hands.

After the matter here was over, Lu Ming came to another new city and launched an investigation on another new clue.

In this way, it was not until half a month later, with 30 days left before the predicted doomsday, that all the clues from the large-scale screening were completed.

And, all were ruled out as suspects.
