"Mountain Ghost?"
The guard looked at the herdsman in front of him in confusion. This face really did not look like someone who had nothing better to do.
However, it was broad daylight, and he said that there were ghosts in the mountains. Could it be that he had drunk too much?
At this moment, the herdsman seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and held on tightly to the guard's arm.
"There's a ghost, there must be a mountain ghost…"
The villagers kept repeating this sentence. The guards could not get anything out of it, so they could only stand where they were and wait for instructions from the higher-ups.
At the same time, the soldier who went to report found Wu Changfeng. He pointed outside and said,
"Chief, there's a herdsman outside who ran up in panic. Something seems to have happened.”
"Something happened?"
Wu Changfeng also knew that such a situation was rare, so after a short moment of thought, he immediately said,
"Let's go and take a look!"
But then, Wu Changfeng remembered that he was no longer the regiment commander of the garrison, and it was not appropriate for him to handle this matter alone, so he changed the topic and said,
"Let's go and tell Regiment Commander Chu first and see what he means.”
Wu Changfeng was using his own methods to establish authority for the new regiment commander.
Although he felt that Regiment Commander Chu's style of doing things was a little unreliable…
The guard nodded and immediately followed Wu Changfeng to Chu Jian's office.
"What is it? Herders trespassed into a forbidden military area?"
Hearing this news, Chu Jian was also very surprised.
The military base had been stationed here for a long time, and the herdsmen had never come close.
Sometimes, military training would be carried out, and the pastures of the herdsmen would be occupied. The herdsmen were very supportive.
This was something he knew on the first day he took office here. Why would a herdsman trespass on an important military area at this time?
"Bring him here and ask him what's going on!”
After receiving Chu Jian's order, the herdsman was quickly brought to the office.
As soon as he entered the office, the herdsman saw Chu Jian sitting in the office and immediately wanted to kneel down again.
Wu Changfeng and the soldiers quickly supported the herdsman.
"Fellow villager, we can't do this here. If you have any difficulties, just say it. This is Commander Chu.”
"Regiment Commander Chu, you have to help us!”
Looking at the anxious herdsmen, Chu Jian said calmly,"
"Fellow villager, if you have anything to say, just say it. We definitely won't sit idly by if we can help.”
"This mountain…there are mountain ghosts in this mountain!”
Chu Jian frowned at this strange remark."
"Fellow villager, why did you come to such a conclusion?”
The herdsman finally calmed down and sighed.
"We've been herders for generations. We usually graze in a fixed place.
However, there were quite a number of livestock after all. It was impossible for them to eat the grass in one place all the time, so they gradually spread out.
However, it didn't matter if it spread. There were often reports of livestock missing in the village. It was the mountain ghost that was causing trouble. Otherwise, how could it disappear in the blink of an eye?”
Wu Changfeng frowned in confusion.
"Disappears frequently? Why didn't I know?"
The herdsman said with a sad face,"
"How could we dare to disturb such a small matter? The village decided to go and look for him together. In the end, Village Chief Li's son never came back.”
"What is it? Someone else is missing?"
Chu Jian asked with his eyes wide open.
As if frightened by this aura, the villager was stunned for a moment before hurriedly saying,
"The north and south roads in our village are blocked, and the mountains behind are complicated. Those who are not familiar with it can easily walk out for a few days.
Therefore, he didn't take it seriously at first, but this person never came back after that. Just like those animals, he didn't even show up.”
Chu Jian's brows gradually furrowed. He had already faintly sensed that something was not quite right.
"Fellow villager, other than this matter, is there anything else strange?”
Chu Jian's question made the herdsman fall into deep thought. Not long after, he suddenly raised his head.
"Yes! There was! The corpses of the missing animals would sometimes appear on the pasture, but there were no wounds on their bodies. They couldn't find anything even if they were checked.
It must be a mountain ghost. The mountain ghost had captured a living creature to eat!”
When Wu Changfeng heard this, he pondered and said,
"It seems that something is not quite right, but the mountain ghost's words are a little too ridiculous.”
The rest of the soldiers felt the same way. The herdsman couldn't speak fluently, but at least everyone understood what he meant.
There were often livestock going missing, and it was even suspected that people went missing in the same place.
If it was just livestock, it would be fine, but when it involved missing people, it was a big deal.
Chu Jian frowned and said,"
"Inform the National Security Bureau in the jurisdiction. They should be responsible for this matter.”
Wu Changfeng nodded. Chu Jian's decision was very reasonable.
Immediately, Wu Changfeng signaled the soldiers to bring the herdsmen to the National Security Bureau to file a case.
When it came to missing persons, the Ministry of State Security had to intervene.
"Ding, ding, ding…"
However, at this moment, the phone in Chu Jian's office suddenly rang without warning.
Even Wu Changfeng, who was about to leave, looked over curiously.
"Hello?"
Chu Jian answered the phone with doubt. Although he could not hear the contents of the phone, Wu Changfeng could see that Chu Jian's expression instantly became solemn.
"There's actually such a thing?"
"Alright…I understand…"
Chu Feng frowned and hung up the phone. He looked at Wu Changfeng with a grave expression and sighed.
"There's no need to bring him to the National Security Bureau. The situation has escalated.”
"What happened?"
Wu Changfeng frowned and asked in confusion.
Chu Feng looked at Wu Changfeng and said word by word,"
"A scientific team that was working on a laboratory construction project in Kunlun Mountain suddenly disappeared. They are still missing.”
