Chapter 114 Missing (Part 2)

That night, after dinner, Luo Yue found Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen in his tent to discuss matters. It turned out that just before dinner, Luo Yue received news that the Red Lotus Sect's army had captured Lu'anzhou.

Lu'an Prefecture is located directly south of Yingzhou Prefecture, about 70 kilometers away from Hefei. It turned out that Lu'an Prefecture was also under the rule of Lu'zhou Prefecture. In the 2nd year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1724), it was promoted to Zhili Prefecture and was directly under the jurisdiction of Anhui Province. The Red Lotus Sect's army captured Lu'an Prefecture, of course, in preparation for attacking Luzhou Prefecture.

Of course, Luo Yue could not wait for the Red Lotus Sect's army to come to Luzhou Prefecture. It is certain that he led the army to take the initiative. Although the Red Lotus Sect's army is said to be more than 100,000, Luo Yue's opinion is a mob, and it is not scary. Moreover, Shanghai also sent a regiment of troops to reinforce, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow. Therefore, Luo Yue was not worried about the battle with the Red Lotus Sect's army. Instead, he was still a little worried about the safety of the camp.

Three days have passed since the petition launched by the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect, and the interrogation and punishment of the captive personnel have been basically completed. It can be said that the camp was cleaned up. Even if there were still a few fishing fish that missed the net, it would not have any impact on the overall situation. Moreover, during these three days, the People's Army also strengthened supervision outside the camp and conducted strict monitoring of the contact points, hoping to find out the Red Lotus Sect personnel who were responding outside, otherwise this would always be a disaster. Unfortunately, nothing was found during these three days. The Red Lotus Sect personnel who were responding outside seemed to have found the wind, so there was no movement at all.

This also made Luo Yue feel a little relieved. Because it was too easy to clean up the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect. There were no difficulties expected in the past, but instead made people feel that it was smooth and abnormal. If the Red Lotus Sect personnel who were able to be eliminated from the outside, Luo Yue would be more at ease. However, the Red Lotus Sect personnel who were relaying outside seemed to be silent and destroyed. Of course, Luo Yue could not be relieved. And now he was about to send troops to fight the Red Lotus Sect's army, so he naturally had to explain to Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen.

However, Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen didn't think anything was abnormal. Xie Tao said: "General Luo, I think the Red Lotus Cult personnel who were responding outside should have withdrew. The undercover agents in Bijing camp were all removed by us, so the people who responded outside had no focus and were afraid of being exposed. Therefore, all evacuation was a matter of love, so you can just rest assured to fight the Red Lotus Cult army and don't worry about the camp."

Luo Yue thought about it and found that Xie Tao’s statement was not unreasonable. After all, his worries were unfounded, and the Red Lotus Sect’s army was in the verge of the brink of the enemy. Moreover, there was Xie Tao in the camp and Zhu Nanzhen was in charge. There was also a battalion of troops stationed in the camp. There was also a security team in the camp. As long as you were careful, nothing would happen. Besides, in 2 or 3 days, the reinforcements in Shanghai would arrive. At that time, you can leave a part of the camp and strengthen the guards of the camp, so you can guarantee that they will be complete. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will lead the army tomorrow. You should worry more about the matter in the camp. Although we have eliminated the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect, we should not be careless. After I lead the army away, we must be careful."

Zhu Nanzhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, we understand that after you lead the army, all the alert in the camp will remain unchanged, and you will definitely be fine."

In fact, Luo Yue could see that the two of them were somewhat perfunctory, but when they said this, it was hard to say anything more. Moreover, once he led the army, it was impossible for him to maintain his vigilance intensity in the camp. After all, he took more than half of the army, but fortunately, it was only 2 or 3 days. When the reinforcements in Shanghai arrived, the situation should be much better.

At this moment, Gu Liyuan lifted the curtain of the tent, and came in from outside the tent and said, "Several leaders, something a bit suspicious happened today, so I came to report it to the leaders."

Luo Yue was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Liyuan said: "I checked the camp tonight and found that someone was missing."

Xie Tao frowned and said, "It's not a big deal to disappear. Someone in the camp has disappeared before. Is there anything suspicious about this?"

Although the camp is very strict, there are more than 100,000 people living in the camp now, and they are all victims gathered from all over the place, with fish and fish mixed together, so there were also accidental disappearances. Previously, the camp launched a total of 5 missing incidents, but nothing happened, but nothing happened. Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen did not take it seriously. Now someone in the camp is missing again, and Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen do not think there is anything suspicious about it.

However, Luo Yue was different from them. Although the disappearance incident was indeed not a big event in such a large camp, it was a bit intriguing at this time. After all, the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect had just been cleared out in the camp, and the disappearance incident at this time, Luo Yue had to associate it. Will these two things have any connection? Therefore, it is not too much to say that it is a suspicious incident, so he asked: "Who is there any suspicious person missing?"

Gu Liyuan said: "The missing person is called Wang Qiang. Judging from the information, there is no suspicious place. Moreover, he has been in the camp for two months since the quarantine time. His performance in the camp is normal and he has not done anything out of order."

Zhu Nanzhen said: "What's suspicious?"

Gu Liyuan said: "At the beginning, we just thought it was just an ordinary disappearance incident. However, the five missing incidents in the camp in the past actually happened outside the camp, that is, they disappeared while working outside the camp, and they all disappeared during the day. However, Wang Qiang did not work outside the camp today. And according to the victims who lived in the same tent with him, he was still in the tent before dinner, and he disappeared when he came back. Therefore, he must have disappeared from the camp during dinner."

At this time, Xie Tao also heard a little bit of a problem and said, "What do you mean is that he escaped from the camp during the dinner time?"

Gu Liyuan said: "This is just a possibility, but if someone intends to escape from the camp, it is indeed a good time for dinner time, because the garrison in the camp is the most relaxed at this time, and the attention of others is also on the meal, which is more chaotic."

Luo Yue said: "This is just a suspicious point. Are there any other suspicious points?"

Gu Liyuan said: "It is precisely because of this suspicion that we conducted a detailed investigation of Wang Qiang and found an important situation. Just this morning, he went to another camp to visit someone during the event time. According to the visit records of the camp, he was his uncle named Wang Zhong. In the past two months, he visited Wang Zhong 5 times."

Xie Tao was stunned and said, "He went to another camp to visit his uncle, there is no problem!"

Zhu Nanzhen on the other side had already understood and said, "How could he and his uncle be separated into different camps?"

The camps of the victims in the camp are divided according to the principle of the same village and the same townsmen to break up the distribution, in order to prevent the same village and people from joining together to form small groups in the camp, but if relatives are still divided into one camp, Zhu Nanzhen discovered the problem here when he heard that Wang Qiang and Wang Zhong and his uncle and nephew were not assigned to the same camp.

Xie Tao said: "Would it be that I made a mistake when I first divided the camp, or their uncle and nephew were actually just a relationship between the same race, not a relative with a close blood source."

Gu Liyuan said: "There is also the case that Chief Xie said. We thought so at that time, but in order to confirm, we still checked Wang Zhong's information, and the result was that the problem was found."

Xie Tao immediately said: "What's the problem?"

Gu Liyuan said: "They filled in the information they entered the camp and their residence locations were different. They were not in the same village, and they did not fill in the other party in the relatives' column."

Xie Tao said: "Even if it is not the same village, it cannot mean that there is a problem. Maybe the two are indeed uncle and nephew, but they do not live in the same village. This situation is also true. And if the two are not in the same group of camps, they will not know that the other party has also come in, so the other party's name is not filled in in the relative column."

Gu Liyuan said: "This situation is also true, but after we checked it, we found that the village names of the two people were filled in, which means that there was only one survivor in the two villages where they were. Therefore, no one could prove the authenticity of the two people."

Xie Tao said: "It's nothing. Some villages are all dead. It's not impossible to have only one survivor left. It doesn't mean that their identities are fake."

Zhu Nanzhen said: "It is not said that their identities are fake, but no one can prove them. And if the identities of these two people are real, there are too many coincidences. You can calculate how many coincidences there are, so it is not wrong to say that this matter is suspicious."

At this time, Luo Yue suddenly said, "Wang Zhong is still in the camp now, have you asked him if he has."

Gu Liyuan said: "This hasn't arrived yet."

Xie Tao said: "Yes! Why don't you ask Wang Zhong?"

Gu Liyuan said: "Sure enough, there is really something wrong with this matter. So when we ask Wang Zhong, we are just alerting him. Therefore, we did not disturb Wang Zhong for the time being, but we just arranged personnel to closely monitor him."

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Very good, you guys did a good job."

Zhu Nanzhen said: "So what should we do now? Check Wang Zhong?"

Xie Tao said: "I think even if there is a problem, it will not be a big deal. If the uncle and nephew really have a problem, then Wang Qiang may have sneaked out of the camp and searched for the Red Lotus Sect outside the camp. If there is no problem, it would be an ordinary disappearance incident. In short, we can investigate slowly, but the most urgent task now is that the Red Lotus Sect's army is approaching, so General Luo still leads the army to attack, so let us leave the investigation."
