Chapter 1150 The Strange Bird Appearing in the Outskirts of the Capital
"You said that you saw a strange strange bird flying across the sky, and then landed in that place?" The patrol came to a village on the outskirts of the capital. According to the villagers here, a strange strange bird appeared here. It also caused a lot of panic, and the police in charge of this area had to come to see what happened.

"Yes, several of us have seen that strange bird, and it usually lands in that position. We suspect that it is a disaster that will destroy this year's harvest." The local farmer said to the coming patrol.

"When did you see it, where did it appear, and where did it disappear?" Several police officers looked at each other when they received this inexplicable case.

They were all inconceivable about this. They are responsible for maintaining the law and order in this area, and they are directly under the management of the public security office in the capital. When encountering major incidents, they can report to the public security office in charge of security management.Villagers in several nearby villages repeatedly reported sightings of strange birds, but incidents such as strange strange birds were not far from alarming the high-level officials of the public security office.

"That strange bird usually appears during the day, probably flying from this direction to that direction." The villagers pointed to the place where the strange bird appeared.

"Did there be any abnormalities when the strange bird appeared?" Patrolman was also in awe of the unknown.

"There is no vision, but the appearance of the strange bird is a bit strange, and it is different from the strange birds in the past. Recently, some pheasants in our village have disappeared for no reason. We all suspect that the strange bird stole the poultry. People are specially arranged to patrol the village day and night, and no poultry has disappeared inexplicably in the past few days," said the villager.

"Is there such a weird thing...? If so, is there anyone willing to go with us to find out where the strange bird appeared, so as to relieve the panic caused by the strange bird." The patrol convened the local villagers and asked them .

The villagers looked worried, and they were silent and confused. They were full of fear of the unknown.However, a few brave villagers and patrols went to the place where the strange bird appeared.

These few villagers held poles and kitchen knives, and each of them looked like an enemy.

"There is a small piece of wasteland over there. There used to be dozens of farms, but they were expropriated by the government. After receiving a lot of compensation, those dozens of families moved away." A well-informed villager said.

"Is the land used by the government..." The policeman who arrived pondered twice, always thinking that the appearance of the strange bird should be inseparable from the government.

The patrol led a few villagers all the way to a small wasteland on the outskirts of the city, which was originally a farmland. After the government moved the surrounding villagers away, no one knew what was going on there.

A group of them came to the wilderness and found that there was a wooden fence blocking their progress, and there was a wooden sign beside the fence.

"It's an important place for the government, it's forbidden to get close. This is really the land used by the government. I don't know if they know about the strange bird." Seeing that he seemed to have come to a secret place, the patrolman couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After the sovereignty of the Kyushu Army, some places were listed as important places for the government, including factories that produced core industrial products such as artillery, headquarters of various important institutions, and treasury.

"There seem to be a few brick houses in the distance, and there is an open space that has been cleared... It seems that something is parked in the open space, a big carriage, and what is that...?" A group of people saw this place from a distance through the wooden fence. The situation inside the heavy ground.

"Who are you guys! This is an important place for the government, don't get close, or you will be arrested!" Inside the wooden fence, a guard with a musket on his back came over and scolded.

When the patrolman saw that the guard was wearing the uniform of an army soldier, his pupils shrank suddenly.

He was an officer of the security force, and only army soldiers who were qualified to wear military uniforms were the real standing army, and their treatment was higher than that of security officers and soldiers like them.A place where soldiers are stationed generally means an important place.

"I am the police officer of the public security office in the capital city. The nearby villagers reported that they recently saw a strange bird coming out of this area, and they suspected it was an ominous sign, so I brought them here to look for this strange bird." said the police officer.

The guarding soldier seemed to have thought of something, with a strange expression on his face: "The strange bird... The strange bird you mentioned is indeed related to us, but it is not an unknown strange bird. Please don't worry."

The villagers were shocked when they heard the words. They never thought that the strange bird that appeared recently was related to the government.

"Can you tell us what the strange bird is? If the villagers know the truth about the strange bird, maybe they won't be worried about it." Patrolman asked.

"This is a government secret, and you have no right to know it. But I will report it to the higher authorities. If they know that there are rumors of strange birds nearby, they should take measures to appease the nearby villagers." said the villagers.

"It seems that this is really an important place for the government. If you don't have permission, you can't enter. I think I should report this matter to the public security office. The two sides will coordinate and explain it clearly to the nearby villagers." The inspector said.

"You can do whatever you want, you can't come in here." The guard said.

Those who learned about the source of the strange bird breathed a sigh of relief, at least they knew that the strange bird was created by the government, not an ominous sign.

"Have you noticed a strange thing in the open space, it seems to be the strange bird we have seen before." A villager said to his companions after leaving the secret place set up in the wilderness.

"When you said that, I remembered it. It seems that it really looks a bit like the strange bird we have seen... Could it be a raptor or a strange beast raised by the government?" The villagers speculated.

"It's about the secrets of the government, so don't talk nonsense. Since the strange bird is related to the government, it will not cause danger to us ordinary people. You don't have to worry about the strange bird." The patrol said to several accompanying villagers.

"But why did some native chickens disappear for no reason in our village during this period?" the villagers asked inexplicably.

"Maybe a fox, an eagle, a weasel or some wild animal sneaked into the village and took away the native chickens. Maybe the government is not greedy for a few native chickens in the village," said the inspector.

The villagers thought about it too. The government specially sent soldiers to guard the land. There was no reason to raise some strange birds to steal the pheasants in the village.

But what is the strange bird that appeared in the outskirts of the capital?It was unimaginable for the patrol to leave the forbidden area.Besides birds, is there anything else that can fly in the sky?
Or report to the above.Patrolman thought to himself.
