Paranormal incident investigation notes

Whether it was the calm face of Zhang Dingshan, the tired face of He Wei, or the angry face of Lu Qingliang, Lu Mingju could see an emotion hidden beneath the surface.

Unwilling to do so.

No one is willing to just list it as an unsolved case and give up the pursuit of this case.

According to Zhang Dingshan, listing it as a pending case does not actually mean giving up completely. There will be dedicated cold case managers who will continue to collect information, conduct follow-up investigations, and keep an eye on the progress of other cases to see if anyone is involved here.

This appears to be the same pattern among the Sheriff's Department.

Lu Ming had heard of some criminal cases that did not involve "supernatural forces". In the past, due to technical limitations, the conditions for investigation were not available at the time, so they became unsolved cases. But after more than ten years, or even decades, it was discovered.

Listing it as an unsolved case is just a matter of placing hope in the future after completely losing the possibility of detection at this stage.

But...this actually depends entirely on luck. After all, how things will develop in the future and what breakthroughs technology will make in the future are completely uncontrollable and unpredictable.

It may only take a few years for new major clues to emerge, or it may be that until Lu Ming dies of old age, the case still has no progress.

At the same time, although there are dedicated cold case management personnel to continue to follow up, the resources invested in all aspects will obviously be extremely limited, and it is impossible to compare with now.

Now, the "X Organization Kidnapping Case" is facing such an ending.

Lu Ming whispered: "After it is listed as a pending case, what will you do with me?"

Zhang Dingshan said: "The sociological experiment will be over, and everyone can go home. The garrison will evacuate, the physical evidence and information will be sealed, and the investigators will evacuate. As for you... after signing the confidentiality agreement, you can return to society normally. If there is any If necessary, the government department will give you a reasonable reason for your "resurrection", such as participating in a certain secret mission, and come forward to endorse the reason.

Now, no new criminal behavior of Organization X has been discovered for up to two months. When you return to society, the risks you bear should be relatively small.

Well, the Sheriff's Department will provide you with covert protection for about one to two years. Afterwards, security personnel will withdraw. "

It has always been Lu Ming's wish to return to normal society, reunite with his parents and relatives, and tell his parents and sister that he is not dead but still alive.

Once upon a time, when Organization

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan offered to let him return to society, but Lu Ming hesitated.

He was silent for a long time. Zhang Dingshan and the others waited silently.

After a long time, Lu Ming raised his head, his eyes full of determination.

"I won't go back."

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

Lu Ming said slowly: "During this period, I have been consulting ancient books, looking for traces of Organization X and the truth of the Mountain God incident from historical fragments.

I saw people similar to Organization In modern times, Organization X is even more unscrupulous and has destroyed countless families.

I want to ask, why? Who is the old mountain god? How can the stupid X organization destroy our families and our lives at will? Why?

I'm not convinced! I am dissatisfied with the many people in history who were sacrificed to the mountain gods! I feel sorry for so many modern victims! "

Lu Ming said the last sentence with gritted teeth and a ferocious face.

"Lu Ming..."

He Wei sighed deeply.

"Sorry, I'm a little excited."

Lu Ming calmed down and smiled reluctantly.

"Okay, okay, actually I'm not that great. Well, as a human being, I'm still a little angry when I see my kind being treated like this.

The most important thing, Captain Zhang, I remember you once told me that existence that does not abide by the rules of our human world cannot be trusted. I don’t believe that Organization X will always be dormant, and I don’t believe that they will let me go.

If I return to my parents and relatives, I will only bring danger to them. If I don’t get rid of Organization

So, I won't go back. "

Zhang Dingshan sighed: "It's okay not to go back. I'll think of a way and I should be able to arrange for you to join the bureau. However, in this way, you will never be able to show up as Lu Ming again in your life. You want decided."

Lu Ming shook his head: "No, I mean...sacrifice me to the mountain god."

Zhang Dingshan frowned instantly. He Wei's eyes widened, and Lu Qingliang's face was filled with shock.

"Although the existing evidence can confirm that what Organization This method of sacrifice cannot be used now."

Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "Through the inquiry of ancient books and the collection of information during this period, especially the analysis of information about the poor boy in ancient times and the Tang family, we have been able to roughly delineate the places where sacrifices were made to the mountain gods. Where it is. Using modern exploration, aerial photography and satellite technology to conduct some searches, it may not be impossible to find that place.

After that, sacrifice me to the mountain god to lure the mountain god out. "

After luring the mountain god out, there was no need for Lu Ming to tell him what to do next.

Lu Ming knew that, in fact, Zhang Dingshan and the others might not have thought of it before he proposed this idea. But maybe because of some reasons, such as discipline not allowing it, need to worry about their own safety, etc., they didn't mention it.

Now, if you take the initiative to propose this plan and apply for it, it may help this plan to get permission from your superiors.

Lu Ming had made up his mind at this moment.

Rather than remaining anonymous for the rest of his life, unable to move freely, or returning to society, living in fear for the rest of his life, and possibly even bringing danger to his parents and relatives, he would rather fight to the death.

If it succeeds, the mountain god is eliminated, and he is rescued in time, Organization X will be like a rootless duckweed, losing the ability and motivation to make trouble again. You will be completely safe yourself.

If you fail, even if you are really eaten by the mountain god, it will be better than living in fear for the rest of your life.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming calmly, his tone unknowingly becoming more solemn.

Lu Ming nodded solemnly: "I'm sure."

"Okay. I'll apply to my superiors. This will probably take a day or so. During this time, you can think about it carefully. If you regret it, tell me at any time. Or... even if you really find the place for sacrifice. So, as long as you regret it before you actually start, you can stop at any time."

"team leader……"

He Wei called out in a low voice. But before she could say anything else, Zhang Dingshan waved his hand to stop her.

Lu Ming solemnly nodded again: "No matter what, thank you, thank you Captain Zhang, thank you He Wei. Thank you too, Qing Liang."

Lu Qingliang smiled bitterly and just shook his head.

"Okay, let's do this first."

The communication was cut off, and Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and was lost in thought. After a long time, he stood up and walked out of the room.

He looked at the place where the "sociological experiment" was being conducted not far away but completely isolated from it. He listened to the faint noise of people coming with the wind and murmured: "Don't worry, you guys." Won’t have to wait too long.”

He returned to the reference room again and saw Huang Weimin who was still immersed in ancient books.

"Teacher Huang, now we have a new mission. We have to find the place where the poor boy and the Tang family performed sacrifices to the mountain gods in the mountains..."

Huang Weimin, who didn't know the inside story, was a little surprised.

"Xiao Lu, this is all feudal superstition. Do you really believe that there is such a place? Let me tell you, that poor boy was legally robbed on the charge of worshiping the mountain god. The Tang family just has strange beliefs."

Lu Ming smiled lightly: "Maybe the so-called place to worship the mountain god is a treasure trove? There might be something valuable buried there. Don't ask me, there are some things I can't say."

Huang Weimin suddenly realized: "It's related to the case, right? I understand the confidentiality regulations, I understand. Okay, let's try to find it."

The two began collecting information again, as well as subsequent analysis and thinking.

"First of all, the village where the poor boy lives is called Erlang Village - this is an ancient village. Later, a mudslide killed many people, and those who survived were all moved away. This village is about four to the west of today's Nanji Village. It’s about six kilometers away. According to the footsteps of ancient people, take the mountain road... Wait, find a topographic map first."

"The village where the ancestors of the Tang family lived was called Shanghe Village. It is also called Shanghe Village now. However, as the terrain changed, the location of the village moved somewhat. I remember there was a flood during the Shunzhi period..."

"The record about the poor boy said that a group of people walked in the mountains for more than a day and passed by a canyon, where the sky was like a line, and there was a small road with a kind of yellow on both sides. The flowers are larger, divided into several petals, and have a relatively light fragrance. I will check what kind of flower this is. Xiaolu, please find the climate data of the Taihang Mountains during the Chongzhen period. With the climate data, we can probably deduce this At what altitude do flowers grow?”

Of course, there were no professional meteorological data records during the Chongzhen period. However, through archaeological and geological research, it is still possible to roughly describe the climate changes at that time.

The two of them started making calculations in this way, looking at a pile of ancient books, maps, and numerous data.

The next afternoon, Zhang Dingshan called.

"Lu Ming, the superiors have agreed that Action Team 2 will try to lure out the mountain god through a sacrificial ceremony on the premise of ensuring your personal safety."

Lu Ming smiled tiredly, his voice full of hoarseness: "Teacher Huang and I have roughly determined the place where the sacrifice will be."

There is only one update today. . .
