Chapter One A Yellowed Notebook
Page 1.
A missing boy in Huguang Village.
Time: around 1:00 pm on December 11, 1995.
Missing person: Pan Yue, male, 17 years old, unemployed and vagrant.
Crime location: Huguang Village Central Pool.
Witness testimony:
1. Village Chief (Wang, male, 62 years old):
Cough cough... I was not at the scene when the incident occurred, but such a bizarre thing happened in Huguang Village. As the village chief, I need to say a few words.
This child was abandoned by this pool more than ten years ago. Yes, it is the pool where he disappeared. We don’t know what his origin is, but we have always taken good care of him.
Although he is usually very strange in character, rarely deals with people, and is unwilling to find serious work, everyone still takes good care of him.
Ah? When did you ask me when I came to the village? This... I really can't remember it...
Note: A waste of time.
2. Witnesses (Li, female, 35 years old):
Yesterday afternoon, a very bright light suddenly appeared beside the pool, and all the idle people in the village went to watch the fun.
The light was as thick as a big tree, and it ran from the ground to the sky... No, comrade, don't believe it, you can go to the pool to see it yourself, it has not disappeared yet. Last night, our whole village was so scared that it didn't sleep well.
Originally, everyone was watching from a distance, but Xiao Pan came. Alas, this child has been frivolous since he was a child. When he came too quickly, he fell down and rushed into the aperture.
Then...and he disappeared.
Comrade, what do you mean? If you don’t believe it, just take a look!
Note: Feudal superstition, but it has certain reference value.
3. Witnesses (Zhao, male, 32 years old, with distracted eyes and speech in a mess, seemingly being stimulated):
Me, I... I swear I'm saying everything is true, and they don't believe me!
When the child walked into the aperture, I was opposite the pool and I saw...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
He was like he was cut off neatly, and the blood vessels in the cross section... bones... muscles... I could see them all clearly... but he seemed to be fine, and then he went in...
Hahahahahahahaha...
Note: After the case is closed, I will never come to Huguang Village again in my life.
Field survey results:
That aperture actually exists.
It shone red, plunging straight into the sky from the ground, without any sign of sight.
The light is too dazzling, and it is impossible to see clearly what the aperture is inside from the outside. Out of caution, I decided not to act rashly and ask my superiors before making plans.
Summarize:
I didn't expect that I encountered such a bizarre incident when I first investigated the case.
Despite this, I still don't believe their words - a living person who disappeared after entering an inexplicable aperture in front of everyone?
In addition, the crazy witness had a sentence worth noting. According to him, Pan Yue "went into the aperture", which is inconsistent with the description of another witness.
For some reason, I have an inexplicable feeling about this young man I have never met, perhaps because we are of the same age. Whether it is because of him or because this is my first case, I will do my best.
