At about three o'clock in the morning, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the grass on the roadside. If someone happened to pass by, it would be a big surprise.

This is a beggar, unkempt, ragged, with a snake skin bag with no color on his shoulder. It looks like some mineral water bottles and so on.

Under the starlight, the beggar looked at the direction of Gao Fei's driving away. A strange smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. When he murmured something, he suddenly froze and turned his head slowly.

In the face of unknown danger, human beings always have a mysterious sixth sense to alert themselves. Although the beggar is dressed in rags, he is also human and has this instinctive reaction.

He felt the danger, as if he had become the prey of some beast, staring at him.

He turned slowly, and then saw a shadow.

It's too dark to see what the shadow looks like, but with the help of the starlight, the beggar can see that the shadow is very big and should be a man.

The shadow stood seven or eight meters behind him, on the slope of dati. His eyes were bright and frightening under the starry sky, flashing cold light, like wild animals.

"Ghost, ghost!"

The beggar stared at the motionless shadow for ten seconds, then hissed suddenly, turned around and ran - but hit a man.

Just as he turned to look at the shadow, another person appeared behind him like a ghost.

This man is not as big as that one. He is bald.

After the beggar turned and bumped into his arms, his right wrist was seized before he could react. As he gently pulled aside, his right foot stretched out, and the beggar fell to the ground with a slap.

"Spare me, spare me - spare me!"

The beggar turned over and knelt down on the ground. He kowtowed to his bald head and begged for mercy. In his voice, he cried in panic.

"Who are you?"

A calm man's voice came from behind the beggar: "why is it here in the middle of the night?"

"I, I am a beggar. I usually pick up rags here."

The beggar replied in a trembling voice: "ghost, ghost grandfather, let me go. I haven't done anything bad in my life. At most, I coax children to eat ice cream for me..."

"Are you a beggar?"

The old fellow spoke, his voice was clear, and his hand opened his flashlight. He shook it down on his face and then disappeared. "Old iron, it's a real beggar."

This old fellow and the bald head are the iron slaughtering and the heart injury.

In the middle of the night, it's not unusual to see a beggar in the wilderness. After all, beggars are from all over the world. What's more, here is the Yellow River nature park. Yesterday was Sunday. Many people came here to relax and leave some rubbish such as mineral water bottles. It's normal to attract beggars to spend the night here.

"Oh, so it is."

Iron Tu came over, kicked the sack of the snake on the floor, and heard the crash of the mineral water bottle crash, and the tone slowed down. He said to the beggar, "we will get up late in the night and watch out for the suspect of the 412 disappearance."

On the evening of April 12 this year, a vicious case of disappearance occurred in Jiyang County on the North Bank of the Yellow River. Three young girls, who had just entered primary school, mysteriously disappeared when they visited the Yellow River nature park.

The reason why it is mysterious is that three days after the crime, the families of the missing received 300000 yuan in cash and a letter.

The letter says that parents are advised not to worry, because the children are safe and sound, just because they are good candidates for doing certain things, and have been taken away and cultivated by people who want to do something. If they can bear hardships and strive to make progress, then it is possible that they will come back to do their filial duty immediately after they finish their studies. The 300000 yuan will be a consolation money for the parents of the children.

The most noticeable word in this letter is "possible".

It is possible that the three girls may or may never come back.

On April 12, such cases occurred in 18 cities all over the country. A total of 100 children aged about seven or eight were missing, including men and women.

After the case happened, it immediately attracted the attention of the highest Department of the state.

Li Chengming, who has just served as the director of the Bureau of Jinan City, went to Beijing to participate in the emergency meeting held by the higher authorities.

Over there, he learned a lot of top secret information about the "412" case.

It turns out that since the founding of the people's Republic of China, there have been three such mass disappearances.

This year is the fourth.

Every time a group of missing cases occurs, it is April 12. Every family member of the missing person will receive a sum of pacification money.

And every 20 years, there are 100 children, 50 little girls, 50 little boys, no more, no less.

Since the first case occurred, the relevant state departments have vigorously investigated it - but 60 years later, people have gone through three such mysterious disappearances, but they have never solved it.

Li Chengming can be sure that the 412 case was absolutely manipulated by an evil organization with strict organization. According to the top secret files kept by the higher authorities, previous investigators basically determined that the 412 case was related to Angui cult and other cults, but no matter how much police force they put in, they didn't trace the clues and could only squeeze them down one by one.

This year, it's exactly 20 years since the last 412 disappearance.

Sure enough, another 100 children have disappeared.

It's said that the authorities are very angry and strict with the relevant departments. They must solve the case at all costs, otherwise - no one can guarantee that hundreds of black hats will fall to the ground!

The reason why Tietu knew about the 412 missing cases was from the newspaper.

Tonight, he and ye Xinshang came to the North Bank of the Yellow River late at night just to search for something. By chance, they saw that a car was always flashing lights. When they decided to come and have a look, the car had already gone.

Then they saw the beggar and pretended to be a police officer to secretly investigate the 412 case. This excuse can well cover up the reason why they came here.

Hearing that Tietu claimed to be a police officer, he also mentioned the 412 case that people around him often talked about. The beggar quickly said, "I, I dare not do that kind of immoral thing! Mr. officer, please believe me and believe that I am innocent. "

"Go away, don't suddenly appear on the road in the middle of the night in the future!"

Tietu was disgusted in his eyes. He raised his foot and kicked the beggar.

"Thank you, thank you, officer. I'm going to go, I'm going to go!"

The beggar was overjoyed, so he grabbed the snake skin bag on the ground, turned around and ran down to dati, and soon disappeared in the woods.

Looking at the direction of the beggar running away, ye Xinshang handed Tietu a cigarette. After he lit another one, he said, "when you kick his bag, do you realize that there are other things in it?"

"Yes, there are snakes in it."

Tietu vomited a smoke ring and said faintly: "heartbreak, you have a good sense of smell. You can smell the snake in the bag. What kind of snake is it?"

In many people's minds, it's normal for a beggar to play with snakes, just like a two-year-old boy running around with a cock exposed in his crotch pants. This is all influenced by martial arts TV series. In fact, in reality, beggars seldom play that thing.

There was a snake in the beggar's snake skin bag just now.

Ye Xinshang sucked his nose and said slowly, "it's the black king snake."

Ye Xinshang once saw that kind of black king snake in the underground Loulan, and he was very sensitive to their body smell. So just now, when Tietu raised his foot to kick the snake skin bag, he touched the snake inside and made it open its mouth, sending out a unique smell, but ye Xinshang smelled it.

"Black king snake? It seems that he has a certain relationship with the underground Loulan, or an Guijiao. "

Tie Tu frowned.

Even if a beggar can play with snakes, an ordinary beggar can't be qualified to play with the black king snake.

Ye Xinshang sniffed out the smell of the black king snake, but he didn't stop Tietu from letting him go.

That's because he knew that when Tietu raised his foot and kicked the beggar's butt, he had already left a mark: a kind of nontoxic white phosphorus used by grave robbers to remember the way.

White phosphorus is carefully treated. It can't be washed off even if it's stuck on clothes. It also gives off a faint strange smell. It's definitely one of the best trackers.

"Who knows, now the black king snake seems to be all over the country. I don't know where it is."

Ye Xinshang threw away half of the cigarette he had just smoked and walked down the slope to the park below: "come on, let's see where that guy has gone. Maybe, if we are lucky, we can find the tomb we are looking for according to him. "

As Gao Fei guessed, the two men came here at night just to look for the ancient tomb.

A few days ago, the two of them escorted Zhang Wenwen to southern Hebei. After seeing Gao Fei, they wanted to go to Qinling the next morning to find the most suitable ancient tomb. At night, when they were enjoying the cool on the hill of Fangjia village, Tietu inadvertently inferred that there was a Dragon Cave with excellent geomantic omen hidden within 100 kilometers from the stars.

In geomantic omen, the best Dragon Cave and dragon vein are closely related to the operation of stars in the sky, just like the mountain and water. However, it requires a high level of attainments to find the Dragon Cave through the stars.

According to tie Tu's ancestral book, the formation of a good Dragon Cave not only has a high demand for landscape, but also stresses the most important thing is to "build according to the nature.".

The so-called "depending on heaven" is because geomantic omen emphasizes that the formation of the earth's atmosphere depends on the operation of the stars.

For example, when the rare "nine celestial bodies in one" form a gas field that goes straight to a certain place on the earth, the gas field will change. It seems that there is spirituality, or electromagnetic wave, which is closely related and closely connected. Then the gas field gradually begins to change even more.

This kind of aura is the Dragon Qi in Fengshui, which belongs to Yin.

This place with such a mysterious aura will gradually become a Dragon Cave, which has a significant impact on the compass held by feng shui masters, thus attracting them to find this place.

Because the aura of this place has changed, the aura of Yin is flourishing, and the deceased is a "Yin man", which is very suitable for his development in the underworld to protect future generations. Therefore, it has become a geomantic omen treasure land for emperors and generals to live and work in peace and contentment after their death. After burial, the aura will still be closely connected with the stars.
