Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 79 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (41)
But soon I felt that this matter might not be a trivial matter, because the two people who came later were a detachment leader of the Armed Police Corps, and the other was the chief of the Jiujiang Public Security Bureau. They both had serious and solemn expressions.

Several people made introductions to each other, and the detachment leader took the lead in saying: "Welcome everyone, there should be a person in charge of the scientific research department coming, but he is currently doing field research in Xieshan, so we can't get away. Let me give you a brief introduction of the situation. Since we have been involved in this matter, it will definitely not be a trivial matter, at least it will not be an ordinary mysterious incident. Let’s put it this way, Xieshan the day before yesterday There was an earthquake on the island. According to the scientific department, Xieshan is not an area where earthquakes can occur, but it did. Although the earthquake itself did not cause any loss of personnel or buildings, some strange phenomena appeared afterwards. That is, many insects from ancient times appeared on the shoe mountain, including a 3-meter-long stick insect and a dragonfly about the size of our head. In short, a bunch of creatures that should have been extinct appeared long ago. Although they are not aggressive, But this incident itself is very strange. Now we have imposed martial law around the shoe mountain, tourists are not allowed to go to the island, and all the monks on the island have been evacuated. We are just waiting for you to come and investigate why this happened.”

Head Chen said: "Has something similar happened here before? Because there are more strange things here in Poyang Lake."

The chief of the Public Security Bureau said: "According to the information we have, apart from the waters of Laoye Temple, there are basically no strange things happening in other areas of Poyang Lake, and all the previous things happened in the water, but this time it happened on the mountain. Mr. Chen, you guys I also know that Poyang Lake is a tourist attraction, and the tourism economy is the mainstay of the local economy. If this incident has a bad impact, the consequences will be very serious, so the provincial leaders have issued instructions in person, and must take this This matter should be investigated clearly. But we are not professional in this area, so we can only pin our hopes on Captain Chen and your team."

Head Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, this is our job. We have to investigate the matter clearly when we come here. If there is something that needs your support..."

The police chief said, "Don't worry, we will do our best to support you."

37. Shoe Mountain

After a basic understanding of the situation, the head of the group asked to go to the island, and the chief of the public security bureau said, "It's almost evening now, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Head Chen said: "Strange things usually happen at night. I have made statistics on this. Now is the prime time to investigate things. But I need some help us to prepare some things. I will make a list for you."

Then the group leader had a general understanding of the natural conditions of Xieshan Island and wrote a few things.When the things were ready to be delivered, it was already dark, and there were only three engineering shovels, five bright flashlights, and four tents and water bottles.

We carried guns with us, and He Zhuang also put his cold weapons in his bag and carried them in his hand. After packing up, we set off immediately.When we came to Poyang Lake, we were immediately attracted by its scenery. It was June and July, and the summer nights by the lake were not too hot, with a temperature of more than ten degrees at most. There was an ecological wetland in front of us, green and oily. The green grass is floating and swaying on the water, just looking at it is seductive.Although it was seven or eight o'clock in the evening, there were still many tourists sitting on the small wooden boats that the locals contracted for business, rippling leisurely in this beautiful and tranquil waters, without the feeling of the vicious waters at all.In fact, this is indeed the case. Except for the waters of Laoye Temple, most of the rest of Poyang Lake is the kind with infinite natural scenery. This is definitely a good place to recuperate.

We are not here for tourism, just take a look at the scenery, the detachment leader prepared a motorized kayak, and we immediately drove to the depths of the water after we got on it.The sky in June has become more complicated than that of Monkey King. After halfway through the road, we felt that the humidity was gradually rising and the air pressure was gradually falling. Faintly see the shoe mountain in the distance.Then there was a burst of thunder, and heavy rain poured down.Since there was no shelter on the boat, we were drenched in an instant, and seeing the pouring rainwater falling into the dark water made me feel weak for a while, fearing that a giant water monster would suddenly emerge from the water at this time.However, although the scene looked quite scary, there should be no water monsters here. The kayak drove for a long time until the rain stopped and we arrived at the only place where we could park a boat in Xieshan.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually just a small island in the lake. It is said that it is called Shoe Mountain because it looks like a shoe.It is 90 meters above the water surface, and the drop is not too small. In order to develop tourism resources, the government built a road on the island, otherwise it would not be easy to go.According to the armed police soldiers who sent us, Xieshan is a place where you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Poyang Lake when you climb up, and it is also one of the important tourism resources of Poyang Lake.

However, because the sky is already dark, we can hardly see anything when we land on the island. The entrance has been blocked, and tourists cannot come up.However, we met a few biologists doing scientific research on the top of the mountain. Because the heavy rain had just stopped, they were still having a meeting in a temporary tent, so we went in to visit them.

There were three of them, a middle-aged man and two young men, all men.The head of the group inquired about what had happened.The middle-aged man turned on his laptop and played a video for us to watch. We saw a few giant insects slamming and flapping in a huge iron cage. They were all strange creatures that we had never seen before.

Head Chen said: "Is there any reason why this kind of creature appears here, even if it is hypothetical."

The scientist said: "This reason is very good. According to our guess, these creatures are very likely to be the resurrection of paleontological fossils."

I said, "It's possible to say what happened in the Jurassic Park movies."

The scientist said: "Some people may think there is a problem with our inference this time, but at present, we can only explain it this way. The earthquake shook a section of the mountain, exposing the buried fossils. The earthquake is likely to release a The special energy has revived the insects in the fossils, of course this is just my personal guess, and everything is still under study.”

Head Chen said: "Strange things can only be guessed randomly. So many years of work experience tell me that the truth is often hidden in those unbelievable guesses. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

The middle-aged man said: "My name is Jason, these two are my assistants, his name is Feng Yinan, and his name is Zhao Haishen."

The head of the delegation Chen also introduced us. After we got to know each other, we became partners in the investigation of this incident.Head Chen said: "Where is the crack in the mountain caused by the earthquake?"

Jason hesitated for a moment and glanced at us.Head Chen said: "Don't worry, they and I have been through life and death for more than ten years, and we are all reliable revolutionary comrades. Besides, we have seen all kinds of strange things in this industry. No matter what you say, we are mentally prepared."

Hearing what Captain Chen said, Jason said: "It makes me laugh. Compared with ordinary people, we do scientific research and treat feudal superstition more strictly. If ordinary people say anything casually, we must be responsible." So you have to be careful when it comes to this.”

Head Chen nodded and said: "I can completely understand what you said, it's true, and we belong to the scientific research department, but I also know that many people who do scientific research have their own way of doing this. opinion."

Jason said: "I don't deny what you said, but personally, I didn't believe in those strange things before, but now I believe it, because I saw it with my own eyes at the break of the shoe mountain. There was a strange woman, not only me, but also my two assistants saw it, so I have witnesses, but I don't know if I should speak out about it?"

Head Chen said: "I suggest you not to speak out, wait until you find out about this matter, if the investigation of this matter fails to come to a conclusion, then what you said may be regarded as a rumor by others."

Jason thought for a while and said, "Do you believe it?"

Head Chen said without hesitation: "Of course I believe it. I'm just investigating this kind of thing."

Jason smiled and said, "That's good, at least it means that there is still one person who believes in me."

Head Chen said: "So where did you find these prehistoric creatures?"

Jason said: "At the foot of the mountain, it's getting dark now, and you're all soaked, you better change your clothes and rest first."

To be honest, I'm hungry, cold and tired now, and I can't keep up physically if I'm asked to go to the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the head of the team didn't force me.The five of us set up our tents, went in and changed our clothes. After the rain, the air in Xieshan Mountain was extremely fresh, and the fragrance of plants was everywhere.As soon as I got out of the tent after changing my clothes, I suddenly saw a strand of black hair floating between the tents we built. no.Just as I was hesitant to go up, someone suddenly said strangely in my ear: "The one I saw was her."

The voice was very low, and her breath was like a gossamer. The female ghost didn't scare me, but the one who spoke did.I shivered involuntarily, turned my head and saw Jason standing beside me holding a pot of hot water.

The long hair seemed to have heard the movement from our side, and immediately floated into the forest. Although I was afraid, I wanted to see clearly, so I said to Jason, "I'll go and have a look."

I couldn't tell what his reaction was, but he nodded with a strange expression, and I immediately chased after him.The natural environment of the entire shoe mountain is very pleasant. In summer, the mountain is covered with green grass and flowers, and big and small trees are planted all over the island, just like a small virgin forest.However, the dense grass covered the opponent's body tightly, and I vaguely saw the fluttering long hair through the hazy moonlight.We ran one after another in the woods, and soon my eyes lit up, and an empty square appeared. It turned out that this was a temple.And this also allowed me to see the other party clearly. I saw her in a long snow-white dress, setting off her black hair, and she looked very strange at night.

I said loudly, "Who are you and why are you on this island?"

She froze slightly, but soon floated towards the temple, I said: "Stop." Then I also chased into the temple.At this time, there was no one in the temple, and the monks were probably sent out of the island. The eyes of the Buddha in the not-so-large temple were slightly opened, and his expression was peaceful, but people could clearly feel a sense of majesty, and only felt that the atmosphere was gloomy.The size of the temple is not large, and there is no back door, but the man in white, who should be a woman based on her stature, has disappeared.I looked up, down, left, and right, but there was no trace, and it just disappeared out of thin air.At this moment, I only felt a numbness in my back and a chill in my heart. Just as I was about to turn around and go out, I suddenly saw a figure blocking the entrance of the temple, which shocked me again, but I soon found out that it was Jason.

He said darkly, "Did you see it just now?"

I don't know why, but now I suddenly felt disgusted by his expression, and said: "I saw a woman's back, but it disappeared after entering the temple."

While talking, the group leader also came in, and he said, "What's the matter with you?"

I immediately told the head of the group, and he frowned, looked around, and said, "There is no back door here? Where can she go?"

Jason said: "There are a lot of strange things happening on this island these days. It seems that we have to investigate slowly. Let's rest at ease and talk about it tomorrow."

On the way back, I whispered to the head of the group: "There seems to be something wrong with Jason."

Head Chen secretly made a careful gesture to me and didn't say anything, but I knew he felt the same way.

Early the next morning, Jason took us to the place where the prehistoric creatures were found. It was a mountain in the northwest corner of the shoe mountain. A section of the mountain was shaken by the earthquake, and it was dark when we looked inside. We couldn’t see anything clearly. The air-conditioning was blowing up in puffs.

Jason said: "Those things come out of here, not many, basically one kind, I don't know if there are any like water. We have detected the inside with instruments, but according to the feedback information, there is a very strange one." The phenomenon."

Head Chen said: "What else?
Jason said: "From the images transmitted by the instrument, besides many fossils of marine ancient organisms, there is actually a tripod inside."

Head Chen said: "What, there is still a tripod? Is there an ancient tomb here?"

Jason said: "There is absolutely no ancient tomb here, because this is a solid mountain, and this tripod is embedded in the mountain."

Head Chen said: "Teacher Jia, if this mountain is real according to what you said, then how and who put this tripod in?"

Jason said: "This is what I'm currently researching. If it wasn't for this, I would have left a long time ago, because the insect specimens have already been brought back, or maybe there are no insect specimens at all."

Head Chen was taken aback and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Jason said: "Chief Chen, I really need your help. I need to find out who put this tripod in this mountain, but I have to find a suitable reason to let you come here." .I didn't mean to lie to you, but there is no way."

Head Chen said: "Then what about those insects, how did you get them?"

Jason said: "I just said that I fell into the lake. It's that simple. It's not difficult to find a few more witnesses. Anyway, all the students who can come into contact with this place after the earthquake are coincidentally What’s amazing is that there are indeed a lot of fossils of ancient marine life here.”

Head Chen said: "Mr. Jia, I don't understand how this matter has any direct relationship with you. If the incident here is not scientific, it shouldn't be under your jurisdiction, right?"

Jason said: "That's true, so seeing the resurrection of ancient creatures also has this consideration."

Head Chen said: "Why do you care about this matter, what is this tripod, don't say you don't know, if you didn't know, you wouldn't have put so much effort into researching it?"

Jason smiled and said: "Everything can't escape Captain Chen's eyes. I do know what kind of tripod it is, so I am so concerned. Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I don't think it's time to tell you yet. .”

Head Chen said: "Now the timing is very suitable. If you insist on hiding it from me, Mr. Jia, then I will think that there may be an ulterior purpose in it. I want to cooperate on a research topic. The best thing between us Well, don't be estranged."

Jason nodded and said: "That's right, I completely agree with what you said, so I didn't intend to hide it from you when I asked you to come. If I'm not wrong, this tripod should be used for cooking people, and it's called people's urns."

Head Chen said: "Is it used to cook people? How can there be such a thing?"

Jason said: "Of course it doesn't exist now, but it used to exist in the past. Xie will use this kind of thing to cook human broth and drink it to show his sincerity to the Yin-Yang scholar, and this tripod is made by the Yin-Yang scholar."

Head Chen said: "How do you know this?"

Jason stared at Captain Chen and asked each word, "I'm from the Tianling clan."

We were all taken aback when we heard him say that, even He Zhuang looked at him in surprise, after all, this was the second time he met someone from his own group in the real world, but it was the same as the one who chased us last time. People are different, and this person from the Tianling clan is actually a scientist, which is too unacceptable.

Head Chen said: "There are scientists in your clan? Isn't that too unreliable?"

Jason said: "There is nothing unreliable, we are not gods, we need to use certain means to track and inquire about some things. We Tianling people are also human beings, and it is impossible to be completely out of touch with this society if we are human beings. Not to mention the science department, the people of the Sky Spirit Tribe have achieved certain achievements in many fields, and I am just average."
