"There have always been very few people in our village. The young people have all gone out to make money, and the rich have moved out to live. Only the old, young, women, and scholars are left. Last year there seemed to be more than forty people, but this year there are even fewer." Uncle Zhao replied.
road.
Yang Xinyi recorded it and continued to ask: "Where will the children here go to school?"
"There is no school in the village anymore. Most of the families with children have moved out. There are only one or two left who have to walk several kilometers of mountain roads to go to school in the next village."
Next, Yang Xinyi was chatting, neither salty nor bland, and did not talk about the ghost village.
Ye Xiong looked at his cell phone. There was no signal at all. There was no signal even for more than ten kilometers around here. The cell phone was useless.
Yang Xinyi had a great time chatting with the two elders.
"Uncle Zhao, I seem to have heard that some people say that your village is a ghost village. I think the scenery here is nice and I don't see anything scary. How come there are these rumors?" Yang Xinyi suddenly asked.
Ye Xiong was sweating violently. When a woman talks about panic, she really doesn't blink an eye.
This village has beautiful scenery, but it's all damned with dead branches and dead grass and mud-brick houses.
He also said that it wasn't scary. It was so gloomy all around. He didn't know who was close to him, but he wouldn't even take a step.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Old Man Zhao didn't feel there was any violation at all, but instead sighed.
"Ten years ago, Xiaohuai Village was the most prosperous village in this area. Dahuai Village, Yangshu Village, and Xiaozhou Village all moved aside. When we went to the market, which village was hot enough for our village? If that incident hadn't happened, Xiaohuai Village
We won't end up like this." Old Zhao sighed.
"Old Zhao, what are you talking about? People are running to the city now, who wants to stay in the mountains?" Aunt Zhao said quickly.
Obviously, Aunt Zhao was afraid that Uncle Zhao would say something.
After hearing what Aunt Zhao said, Uncle Zhao immediately shut up and stopped talking nonsense.
Yang Xinyi and Ye Xiong looked at each other, and they reflected the same meaning from each other's eyes.
If you want to find out the truth, you must get Aunt Zhao away.
"Uncle Zhao, let's go out and take some photos as a souvenir."
After Yang Xinyi finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Xiong. Ye Xiong understood and quickly said: "Aunt Zhao, there are some gifts here. You need to pick what you need first, otherwise you will go to other residents later and they will finish choosing."
Already."
Ye Xiong took out all the things in the bag, including items and daily necessities, a pile full of them.
Aunt Zhao's eyes were shining and she had forgotten everything.
Ye Xiong winked at Zhuque and asked her to go out and protect Yang Xinyi.
Ten minutes later, Yang Xinyi and Uncle Zhao came back from outside. As soon as they came in, they winked at Ye Xiong, with a look that clearly said, "I succeeded."
After leaving Uncle Zhao's house, the three of them found a quiet place to sit down. Only then did Yang Xinyi take out her mobile phone and play back the conversation with Uncle Zhao.
Yang Xinyi was afraid that something would be missed, so she recorded all the conversations with her mobile phone.
It turns out that ten years ago, a big event happened in Xiaohuai Village.
Over thirty people in the village all developed epilepsy overnight, and some even bit others.
Uncle Zhao's son is one of them.
That night, Uncle Zhao was enjoying the cool weather at home. His son came back from outside. After sitting for a while, his body began to twitch and he was foaming at the mouth. He covered his head with both hands and looked very painful. Next, his son seemed to have lost his mind.
He smashed things he saw and even hit them with his head. Uncle Zhao saw that his eyes were very red, which was very scary.
Uncle Zhao was so nervous that he had no choice but to knock his son unconscious with a spoon, and then ran out to find a doctor.
After going out, he found that many people in the village had gone crazy.
Finally, the normal people in the village captured all the crazy villagers, tied them up, and then sent a few people to watch while the others went to find the doctor.
At dawn, the people who left brought Da Zhang back and found that all the more than 30 epileptic patients were missing. The few people who were guarding them were knocked unconscious on the ground.
Finally, the village called the police and sent out many police officers to look for these people, but they could not be found after a long time. It was as if these people had disappeared from the world.
This case has been investigated for more than a year, but has not been discovered.
On the second day after the incident occurred, there was heavy rain in the village and landslides occurred. In the end, the police station classified the case as a landslide.
"How could such a big case end so hastily?" Suzaku couldn't help but curse.
"Ten years ago it was different from now. The media was not as developed as it is now. The police station was unable to find out the truth after investigating for so long. The pressure was too great, so the case could only be closed hastily, otherwise there would be no way to communicate." Yang Xinyi explained.
After Ye Xiong finished listening, he remained silent and fell into deep thought.
"What do you think?" Suzaku turned to ask him.
"Uncle Zhao described that the so-called epilepsy's symptoms are very similar to those experienced by genetic warriors," Ye Xiong said.
"What?"
Suzaku's eyes were full of shock.
"I can't believe it, but judging from various signs, this possibility is not impossible. If my guess is good, the chief should arrange for Phoenix to find the origin of the genetic warriors. Ten years ago, the thirty people who disappeared here are very likely
Probably the earliest experimental subject of the genetic warriors." Ye Xiong said.
"Gene warriors have only been developed in the past two years. How could they have existed ten years ago?" Suzaku was puzzled.
"Biochemical experiments require a long time to progress, and it will take ten years to develop. If my guess is correct, then the most important thing now is to find out who were the people who conducted the experiments here? Find them.
, it will be possible to find the whereabouts of Phoenix."
"In this way, Xiaohuai Village is not a ghost village at all, but someone who doesn't want anyone to find out the truth of the past. They deliberately do this and pretend to be ghosts. The purpose is not to let outsiders come in to investigate." Yang Xinyi said.
"This possibility is very high. As long as we find out who is pretending to be a ghost to scare people, we may find the person behind the scenes."
Ye Xiong had another more worrying thing in his heart.
Why was this case sealed by the Intelligence Division?
Or Long Zaitian used special channels to secretly uncover the case and let Fenghuang investigate it secretly.
What is the purpose of the country deliberately concealing this case?
Could it be that this case involves a big shot, even someone higher up than Long Zaitian?
The more Ye Xiong thought about it, the more shocked he felt, feeling like he was walking into a shocking conspiracy.
Next, Yang Xinyi used her eloquence to ask questions from door to door.
The people in the village should have been warned, and many people were unwilling to tell the truth. It took Yang Xinyi a lot of effort to come up with it, and it was basically the same as what Uncle Zhao said.
As evening approached, almost all the residents in the village, except the village chief's house, passed by.
The last family is left.
This family belongs to a widow in her thirties. Yang Xinyi found out her name from a few houses ago, and she was called Xiugu.
Xiugu's husband and son also disappeared in the accident more than ten years ago. For the only hope, she stayed in the village, hoping that her husband and son would come back one day, so she never moved away.
Yang Xinyi was about to walk into Xiugu's house when Ye Xiong suddenly pulled her back and said urgently: "Wait a minute."
