Chapter 596 Missing
The sun sets in the west, and the earth turns yellow until darkness covers the earth.
The picture in the live broadcast room changed from a full screen of golden red to a bright grayish white in night mode.
After coming to his senses, Bi Xiang briefly summarized his thoughts to the drone and then left the screen at the audience's request.
Looking at the dark live broadcast room, the audience looked at each other, all a little puzzled.
Is this the end or not?
Is there anything else coming up?
The hunting season has already won the first place, just like the rainforest survival helicopter has come to pick it up, and it has reached the final stage.
But Bifang just said two simple greetings without even the usual summary, giving people the illusion that the conversation was about to end.
[Is there a live broadcast in the evening? ]
[(scratching head) I’m not sure, it seems like yes, in the past Mr. Fang would always give a long summary]
【Rub hands (expectation)】
[It's a bonfire party, right? I saw an announcement on Tokyo's official website that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will hold a bonfire party in Aokigahara Forest tonight. All hunters can participate. Drinks and barbecues are free. It is said that there will be dancing girls.]
[Hiss, Aokigahara Sea of Trees, isn't this a suicide sanctuary? Are we going to hold a party there?]
Aokigahara is located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. The dense and lush trees block out the sun, so it is also called the "Sea of Trees".
The number of suicides here is second only to the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States, making it the second most popular suicide site in the world.
[It's just a rumor, it's not that mysterious. The Golden Gate Bridge, which ranks first, is still busy with traffic, and there are still many people taking pictures and visiting it.]
[I've been there once, it's not as mysterious as the rumors say, the tourism infrastructure is complete, there are many tourists, and you won't get lost if you follow the signs in the sea of trees. It's very beautiful]
Many knowledgeable viewers expressed different opinions.
Aokigahara Forest, just by hearing the name you can tell that it is a vast expanse of virgin forest, very lush, and right at the foot of Mount Fuji. If you are lucky, you can even peek at one of the largest active volcanoes in the world through the gaps in the lush woods.
Although you may find that the compass will malfunction and spin randomly once you enter the forest, the reason is that the tree species growing in this area are simple, the landscapes in each place are very similar, and there are magnetites underground, so the compass cannot function properly and guide climbers in the right direction.
But as a tourist destination, this place was filled with signboards long ago.
As the discussion went on, many viewers even began to feel a yearning for it.
Unfortunately, even though the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is holding a grand celebration banquet here tonight, someone has no intention of attending.
Bifang stood up from the bench, raised his head and looked up along the end of the path. Hidden under the dim shadow of the mountain was a long and narrow staircase, next to which were piled up round stones.
Japan has many hills, so you can see such staircase structures in many film and television works.
In the setting sun, the low hills on both sides stretched out their shadows. On the long golden ladder, a skateboard boy who had just finished school was speeding all the way from above, lifting up the white skirt of a girl beside him.
Just go up the stairs and you will reach the town of Taiji.
A prosperous residential town.
After gazing at all this deeply, Bifang turned around and left, entering the jungle again.
…
At night, the bonfire rose up little by little under the night sky, and finally turned into a blazing flame that shot up into the sky.
The moon rises and the sun sets, trees grow at the sea tide.
All the trees near the open space were cut down and made into firewood to be used under the campfire. The view was wide and you could see the starry sky when you looked up.
The tripod prepared for photography was placed in the corner early, and I was shooting silently.
Gotada Takeshi was holding a thermos cup with a thin cigarette between his lips. A red light was lit in the dark corner. The flames rising into the sky were reflected in his dark pupils, and his face was filled with a smile.
The hunting season was successfully completed, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department held a grand bonfire party here, inviting all hunters to participate.
At this point, my mission is completed.
Dolphin Bay and poachers have nothing to do with Takeshi Gouda. As an old employee, Takeshi Gouda always feels that the things involving Taiji Town are not simple, and he tries his best to extricate himself and get out of that quagmire.
Now, my job responsibilities have been completed successfully, and no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Takeshi Gouda.
So cool.
"Mr. Gotado Takeshi, several hunters have not arrived yet. Only twenty-seven people have arrived." The waiter came over to report the number of people present.
"Well, that's not a problem. They're all recovering in the hospital." Gotada Takeshi waved his hand and didn't care. There were many accidents during this hunting season, and there was even a large-scale earthquake. There were also frequent accidents during bear hunting, and many hunters were admitted to the hospital.
Even Sato, who came in second, broke his hand and is currently in the hospital getting nails.
"Hmm, wait, who else hasn't arrived yet?" Gang Tianwu called the waiter and said vaguely, biting his cigarette holder, "There's still one person who's out in the hospital who hasn't come yet, right?"
The waiter nodded, which was exactly what he wanted to say just now: "Bi Fangjun is not here."
"hiss!"
The red dot in the darkness suddenly shone brightly, even illuminating half of Gotada Takeshi's face. A large amount of smoke was inhaled into his lungs, choking him and causing Gotada Takeshi to cough continuously.
"Wha...what? Bifang-kun didn't come?"
"Yes, Bi Fangjun didn't come. We tried to contact him before, but after Bi Fangjun went off the air, we couldn't get in touch with him again. Now we don't know where he is."
Gang Tianwu pinched his throat and was very anxious.
It doesn’t matter if a few are missing, but the first place cannot be missing.
What happens if the first place doesn’t come?
It would have been fine if he was injured, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that not only was Bifang not injured, but he was in surprisingly good condition. He also refused the staff's request for an escort and walked out of the primeval forest alone.
Gotian Wu scratched his hair, which looked extremely fluffy. His originally thick hair started to fall out in clumps these days.
I thought it was a lucrative job to be in charge of the hunting season, but it turns out that these hunters are more troublesome than each other.
Some were former poachers, some came to secretly take photos for evidence, and some were so famous that they wanted to be personally accompanied by guests for good food and drinks.
"Well, we have to keep looking. We must invite Bifang-kun here."
"Hi!"
At this time, Bifang, whom Gotada Takeshi had been thinking about, had already wrapped his communication equipment in three layers of tin foil inside and outside.
Even the location cannot be found.
Bifang now returned to the forest, broke off a branch and piled them together, making a fire to cook dinner.
This will be a bonfire party for him alone.
Unsurprisingly, Bifang did not appear at the entire bonfire party in Aoki Tree Sea. Millions of viewers expressed their dissatisfaction. Some even suspected that Bifang was deliberately not invited because it stole the limelight from the Oni Hunters and caused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese government.
It's really a headache to hear.
God knows how many methods Gotada Takeshi used to search for Bifang last night, but the only conclusion he came to was that the other party was missing.
That’s right, the last time everyone saw Bifang was when the live broadcast ended yesterday evening.
After that time, no one saw him again.
"A big star, a living person, just disappeared for no reason? Is it possible?" Gouda Takeshi was furious at his men.
Now it’s not a question of embarrassing PR at the dinner, but how to find an adventurer with over 100 million fans!
"I think Bifang-kun might have something important to go back for?"
"Are you stupid?" Gang Tianwu drooled. "There is no record of his whereabouts, his travels, or his hotel. Where did he go? Did he become a savage in the deep mountains and forests?"
A policeman who is a Bifang fan whispered: "It's not impossible."
"What are you talking about? Speak louder! How can you be a police officer if you speak so quietly!"
"Hey, I mean, Bifang-kun might really go live in the forest."
Takeshi Gotada thought about it and found that this was indeed a possibility.
Everyone present knew how impressive Bifang's resume was.
Everyone who is familiar with them knows how ruthless China's special forces are. In addition, he is one of the top ten in the history of the Hunter Academy, has a professional hunter certificate, and has an absurdly rich adventure experience.
Who dares to restrict his personal movements, who can restrict his personal freedom?
If it was really done by a human, it would have sunk into the sea by now.
Not to mention the wild, the hunting season has just ended, and no matter whether it is a brown bear or a black bear, falling into the hands of Bifang is like slaughtering a pig.
Gotada Takeshi pinched his nose and had a headache: "That's what I said, but..."
But it couldn't withstand the bombardment of millions of fans.
The fact that he didn't attend the dinner was unsatisfying enough, and now that he hadn't been seen for over 24 hours, fans started to go crazy.
"I can only keep looking..."
Bifang lived a pastoral life in a thatched hut. Richard, who arrived in Alaska, was really overwhelmed and he shouted at the security guards.
"Why won't you let me in?"
"Sorry sir, you are on the prohibited list!" The security guard at the door had a blank expression on his face and stretched out his hand to ask Richard to leave.
Richard looked at all kinds of people coming in and out of the door, but no one was willing to communicate with him. He sighed deeply and left the venue dejectedly.
On the second floor, looking at Richard's receding back, Morishita Juji smiled, turned around and continued talking with the African representative in front of him, and both sides soon reached a consensus.
“Thank you very much for your support.”
…
The twentieth.
Gotada Takeshi and others found nothing.
Richard was turned away.
The same thing happened on the 21st.
On the 22nd, Matsumoto Kiyonaga of Taiji Town received shocking news.
"There could have been two people who took action at the time?"
"That's right, Director. According to the intelligence provided by the Forensic Analysis Department, the extracts we collected on the ship at the time show that there was more than one person involved. If I'm not mistaken, there should have been two people at the time."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga felt as if a sledgehammer had hit him on the head. He grabbed the speaker by the collar and shouted angrily: "Why are you telling me such an important thing now?"
The police officer looked embarrassed: "It takes time to analyze the physical evidence, and we have collected too much DNA, so it is even more difficult to distinguish them one by one."
That 's true.
There are more than a dozen crew members on the ship, and countless dandruff is shed every day as they move around.
With Bifang's level, it is difficult to make mistakes.
This bit of DNA was extracted from a single hair.
After catching Mugaren, Taiji Town police officers conducted a thorough search of the fishing boat.
We brought back everything we could find and handed it over to the Physical Evidence Department. It was really difficult to collect evidence in the wild, so the Physical Evidence Class, which had been idle for a long time, finally became busy.
After nearly a week, I finally found something.
But once you discover it, you discover it...
Matsumoto Kiyonaga just felt dizzy.
Two people, actually two people.
At that time, there were only three people left in the Kii Peninsula. It was obvious who the last person was...
"We've been cheated, we've all been cheated." Matsumoto Kiyonaga was in a daze. Suddenly, a current surged through his body. He looked at the people in front of him and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Arrest them! Go arrest them!"
The leading police officer looked embarrassed and reminded, "This time it's not a small person, and... the other party disappeared before the chat. The people in Tokyo are more anxious than us, but they still can't find him."
You can catch Bifang, but think about the consequences first. He is not some unknown little person.
Second, you have to find it first.
"So are you just going to stand there and do nothing? Go find them, hurry up and find them. Oh, by the way, where are the other people in Richard's group?"
"They are still there. We are monitoring them at all times."
"Control it, control it!"
"But, over at the Ugly Master's Hall..."
The words "Master Hall" finally sobered Matsumoto Kiyonaga up. He was silent for a full minute and said weakly, "Forget it."
When he thought of the Ugly Master's House, Matsumoto Kiyonaga felt powerless.
With the protection of the Master Hall, they cannot arrest or search without solid evidence.
Even if evidence is found through search first, it will be invalid.
Therefore, the residents of Taiji Town have been trying every possible way to provoke the other party to take action, but unfortunately, without exception, all failed.
It is usually Richard who goes out because he is the oldest, most experienced and calm enough.
The younger ones, Mandy and Keke, either stay at home or stay with Richard to avoid any possibility of getting into trouble.
"You guys go out, I want to call Morishita-kun." Matsumoto Kiyonaga sat down on the chair, feeling dizzy and wanting to vomit.
After everyone left, Matsumoto Kiyonaga perked up and made a phone call.
Morishita Sukeji, who was chatting with someone, looked at the caller, said sorry and answered the call. Several people not far away looked at Morishita Sukeji with his brows getting deeper and deeper, and after saying a few words, they hung up the phone.
How could that be.
Morishita Juji tightly grasped his cell phone, thinking that Mugalen had been captured and the rear was stable, but such a huge bomb suddenly exploded?
What was even more unexpected was that the other party turned out to be Bifang.
Morishita Sukeji was deeply touched by its influence because his mother-in-law is one of Bifang's fans.
She is an old lady over sixty years old!
Now everything suddenly became uncertain again.
Did they capture anything? Was the content critical enough? Would it have an impact on their current arrangement?
"What happened, Mr. Morishita Sukeji?"
The people who were chatting just now saw Morishita Juji in deep thought and asked if anything had happened.
"Oh no, it's okay." Morishita Sukeji relaxed his brows and put on a familiar smile, "Let's continue the topic just now..."
