Chapter 3 Chapter 2: No Disappearances of Missing Persons at All

Naturally, it was not logical for me to ask this—after leaving the parking lot, no one saw them again, so they, including a beautiful female teacher and nearly twenty schoolboys and girls, naturally disappeared. Batu's answer, the answer could not be anything other than "yes". However, Batu seemed to be having a hard time answering. He pondered for a while, looked at me again, looking for help, and then said: "It can be... that is... they haven't appeared again until now." I waved my hand vigorously: "That is missing." But Batu shook his head vigorously.

I'm too lazy to argue with him: "How long has it been?" Batu's voice was very tired: "Twenty days." I thought about what he said, and his description was extremely detailed. It seemed that there was no sudden change in the weather, and there could be no accidents. If it is said that people disappeared, no matter how crazy terrorists are, they would not kidnap a group of elementary school students. , even if there is such behavior, it must be known, and it cannot be a silent disappearance. I hurriedly asked again: "What will happen next, you can talk about it later."

Batu said: "No one would have expected that there would be any accidents. The weather was fine and everything was normal. The driver returned to the car and listened to the results to pass the time──" The driver has been listening to the radio and knows the details of each game, but he is a little absent-minded. The pretty figure of the female teacher is always dangling in front of his eyes. He looks at himself in the rear-view mirror. He is a handsome young man. , so when he decided to return, he offered to send each child home, and then, of course, the teacher could take the opportunity to invite her to dinner at the end, just like the dialogue in all movies: I know a very good Chinese restaurant. Restaurant...

However, when the competition was over, there were fewer and fewer cars in the parking lot, and in the end he was left alone. It was already dark, and the female teacher and children had not yet appeared. The driver knew something was wrong, he first mentioned the situation to the parking lot attendant, and then he ran towards the slope where the ski race was held. At that time, it was very different from the lively scene during the day. The snow covered the hillside, but there were no people there. The driver yelled loudly, and his yell and echo could be heard for at least three kilometers.

An hour later, the police arrived, and the helicopter was dispatched. The driver was always on the scene. The search work expanded from a small scale to a rapid expansion. After midnight, the media reports caused a sensation in the city, and voluntary search teams rushed to the scene. In the early hours of the morning, Batu learned of the collective disappearance from a special TV news report, and also saw the search team working on the scene on the TV screen, and saw so many cross-illuminated With strong lights, so many people, and at least three helicopters circling in the sky, he felt that let alone nearly twenty people were missing, even twenty needles should be found!

And precisely because of this, it also made him feel that the matter was too unusual. It was not a normal disappearance, because the weather was fine, there was no avalanche, and there was no sign of being kidnapped. It was a "mysterious disappearance". Batu is no stranger to "mysterious disappearance".Many years ago, I met him in Hawaii. To put it speculatively, the topic started with various mysterious incidents. Batu has collected extremely detailed information on the mysterious disappearances that have occurred in history, and he can count them casually.From the disappearance of a whole group of British soldiers in Australia at the end of the 19th century, to the disappearance of Thai businessmen in the Cameron Highlands of the Malay Peninsula in the 1960s; from the disappearance of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle, to thousands of years ago, the entire Mayan nation no see.

He has always been convinced that there is an unknown mysterious force that is the main reason for the mysterious disappearance, but no matter how he imagines it, he seems to miss the point. When he thought of "mysterious disappearance", he knew that if he searched through normal channels, there would be no results. Therefore, he has decided that he will go to the scene to have a good look after dawn. He had seen the young female teacher, and also seen seventeen or eighteen children, such a lovely group of people, he couldn't allow them to disappear for no reason. When he was talking about this, I asked him several questions, some of which were related to the "mysterious disappearance" and some of which were not.The questions and answers are as follows:

Q: Jesus, what the hell are you doing in Finland? Answer: There is...something. Q: What's the matter?You have been in Finland for ten years?What the hell are you doing? Answer: ... This... I am now narrating the mysterious incident to you, please don't interrupt! Question: There are so many people looking for it but they can’t find it. Even if you go to the scene, you still can’t find it. Answer: I have to go and see, but... Then things developed unexpectedly. Q: What has changed? A: Don't interrupt, I've already said it. (Have you noticed that, no matter if I ask directly, insinuatingly, or by surprise, as soon as I ask him what he is doing in Finland, he will hesitate to answer, deliberately avoiding it.)

(Batu is mysterious, I have known that for a long time. But he should never remain mysterious in front of me!) (He is so mysterious in front of me, which proves that his experiences over the past ten years must have been mysterious beyond imagination. , anyone can see.) (If it weren't for the mysterious disappearance he said, which is also very attractive, I might have issued an order to evict the guest!) When Batu thought of participating in the search, he naturally didn't know how to proceed. He thought about the mysterious disappearances that had happened in history to see if there were any similarities.

In fact, almost all the mysterious disappearances have the same thing—some people disappeared suddenly, disappeared without a trace, and never appeared again. Batu felt very depressed. When he said this, I was dissatisfied with the fact that he kept the secret of the past ten years, so I deliberately interrupted—and, I also thought of a little bit, caught a big hole in his narrative, and came to a conclusion, that It made me so angry that I yelled, "Shut up!" Batu stopped talking as expected, and looked at me in amazement, and I pointed at him: "You are really interesting, I haven't seen you in ten years, you are so mysterious, what are you doing?"

Batu's lips moved a few times, but finally no sound came out. I shouted again: "You suddenly appeared, but you made up a story to amuse me! What's your purpose? To test my intelligence, or do you think it's fun to deceive old friends?" Batu blinked, looking puzzled: "What basis do you have for accusing me like this?" I paced back and forth, waving my hands, with the posture and demeanor of a great speaker: "You said, a female teacher and some elementary school students mysteriously disappeared?" Batu blinked and nodded. I sneered twice—it was quite exaggerated: "But you once said that you never knew the number of elementary school students. This is a big loophole in your fabricated facts!" Batu's expression was originally quite nervous; he naturally saw my accusation, which was fierce, and was very dissatisfied with him.But after I presented the ironclad evidence that he fabricated the facts, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand disdainfully: "You always like to be self-righteous!" His accusation made me not fly into a rage, but I couldn't help but blushed and was too angry to speak. The evidence I gave can be said to be "ironclad evidence"! The disappearance of a group of elementary school students is a major event. How could the number of elementary school students not be known?It's just that no one paid attention at the time, and you can know it immediately after counting it afterwards! In Batu's narration, there is such a big loophole. After I pointed it out, he didn't blush or breathe, which is thick enough. He dared to call me "self-righteous", which is simply despicable. The expression I stared at him was probably not very friendly, so he waved again and again: "Don't be impulsive, listen to me, you will understand." I wanted to scold him a few times, but when I heard him say this, I turned the words I wanted to scold him into an indistinct "cuckoo". Batu breathed a sigh of relief and took another sip of wine: "It's just that there are further mysteries in the matter, so I came to you. If it's a case of 'mysterious disappearance', there are many examples of this in the world, so why bother you?" What he said was very pleasant (people always like to listen to good things). I smiled and thought in my heart: what further mystery will there be?If you can't think of it, it is naturally difficult to express your opinion, so you have to listen to him. In his residence, Batu has been paying attention to the TV news. This is big news, and there is a special report every fifteen minutes. At 2 o'clock in the morning, things took an unexpected turn. The news reporter showed a look of irony: "The disappearance of the female teacher and the primary school students has been proved to be nothing, and it never happened. The police are already investigating who made the false report This case has disturbed all the citizens, and our station would like to apologize. At the scene of the disappearance, the volunteer searchers braved the low temperature of minus 20 degrees to conduct a voluntary search, and the people of the whole country should pay tribute to them.” Then, the scene was shown on the fluorescent screen.It is clear that the news that "there was no disappearance at all" has spread, so the search personnel have already left. Batu noticed that many people had expressions of extreme doubt on their faces.Batu himself was also very puzzled. For a while, he didn't know what happened. According to the news report: there was no disappearance at all, that is to say, it was a misunderstanding, and the female teacher and the primary school students did not disappear.So where are they?They should be photographed immediately! The TV screen turned to the parking lot again. Many reporters surrounded a blond boy and were interviewing the driver of the tour bus. However, more police officers tried to take the driver away. The driver looked very excited. The reporters and police officers, Also very impulsive, which greatly violated the usual friendliness and politeness of the Finns, and it seemed that there would be chaos. Before the picture ended, the driver could only be heard yelling: "Obviously so many people have disappeared, how can they not be missing at all?" A senior police officer was also yelling: "If you are not missing, you are not missing, you are crazy!" The picture stopped here, probably because of the interference of the TV reporter and the police. Knowing that things had changed, Batu turned on the radio, which was reporting this event in more detail than the TV station.The radio reporter was obviously also at the scene, probably far away, and his voice was urgent: "The scene was extremely chaotic. The coach driver who brought the missing person knocked down two police officers and shouted to continue the search. Some people supported him. , said he had seen someone leave his car...but the police insisted there was no disappearance—" When Batu relayed this, he paused again and looked at me. I couldn't understand what I heard: "What do you mean? What's the point of arguing about it? If those people show up, there will be no disappearances. If those people can't be found, someone will disappear!" Batu sighed: "Qi is Qi here, it's really strange to the extreme - the female teacher and the primary school students she led have never appeared. But the announcement of the relevant parties is correct: there is no missing incident!" I jumped up and sat down again: "Haha, it's funny." Batu said, "You don't think it's possible?" Is there even a question?Of course it's impossible, I didn't bother to tell him, I just sneered. At this moment, suddenly there was an extremely crisp and pleasant voice (equivalent to two crisp and pleasant voices), which came down from upstairs: "It's possible!" As soon as I heard the sound, I didn't have to look up, I knew that the beautiful day had arrived.When they came in and out of my residence, they seldom came in through the door, but more often came in through the window and over the wall. They would appear suddenly, with a rather elusive appearance. From the sound, one could tell that they had come down the stairs. But Batu followed the sound, with a look of surprise on his face, I hummed: "What's going on? Haven't you seen the twins?" Batu was still inexplicably surprised, shaking his head: "It's like a replica...it's really a natural twin." The beautiful scenery of a good day has come to the front: "No, one of them is a dummy, guess which one is real? Which one is fake?" Batu can be considered a well-informed person, but at this moment, staring at them, he looked like a fool and only laughed "hehe".I said coldly, "Eavesdropping on someone's speech?" Liangchen and Meimei each made a grimace: "It's not intentional, this uncle, what he said is so interesting, it's natural to attract people to listen to it." Batu was very happy, pointing at me: "I want to tell him, but he is not willing to listen! Look at him, he looks like 'absolutely impossible', you say 'possible', come and listen." The beautiful scenery on a good day is cute, and the people are smart. I immediately made a gesture to stop them from talking. Because I said "impossible", the two little girls actually said the reason of "possible", so it is not very interesting to be laughed at at least thousands of times by Batu. But when I thought about it, I still couldn't figure it out. I waved my hand to indicate that Liangchen Meijing could express their opinions, and the two said in unison: "The missing person can't be found at all." I was taken aback, and almost immediately burst out laughing.What is this nonsense! "The missing person cannot be found." If the missing person is found, is it still called the missing person? However, I didn't laugh out loud, because in an instant, I also thought of something.I thought of Batu's detailed investigation after the incident, how many people had seen female teachers and elementary school students, trying to prove that there were indeed female teachers and elementary school students. Afterwards, we do not know the exact number of primary school students.What does all this mean? It illustrates an incredible phenomenon: "The missing person can't be found at all", which is what Liangchen Meijing said. I couldn't help saying "ah", expressing my sincere admiration for the sensitivity of the two of them, and Batu applauded loudly: "OK." I know that half of Batu's applause to Liang Chenmei is aimed at me, and I smiled at him: "It's really interesting, these two little girls──" I introduced the beauty of the beautiful day to him, so naturally I couldn't go into too much detail, Batu couldn't stop saying, "It's a miracle of the Creator." (Readers please, some of you may have thought of it earlier than Liang Chen Meimei, some may have thought of it at the same time as them, and some will be the same as me. But if you still don’t know what "there is no missing person at all", then it doesn’t matter. If you listen to Batu's words, you will definitely understand.) I signaled Liangchen Meijing to sit down, but the two of them couldn't sit still, they kept floating around, really floating around, because their actions were so fast that it was dazzling.I also had to let them go. Batu said: "There are no missing persons at all." There are no missing persons at all. As soon as the news of the disappearance came out, the whole city was tense, and every elementary school checked whether their teachers had taken their students out. After checking, there were many, but all of them came back without any accident. Then, the relevant authorities already felt that something was wrong - through the media, they appealed to disappear. The parents of the pupils contacted the police, and also appealed to the school to contact the police. But until after midnight, no one contacted the police at all—no elementary school students disappeared. The scope expanded, not only to the city of Helsinki, but also to the whole country.Although Finland has a large area, its population is small. Nearly 20 people went missing. In peacetime, it was a top priority and a national sensation. However, at 1 o'clock in the morning, no one reported their disappearance. No one was missing at all, or rather, no one was missing at all. Since no one is missing, how can there be a missing incident. Senior officials from the Ministry of the Interior, the Police Department, and the Ministry of Education were all extremely nervous after the news of the disappearance. Even the Prime Minister waited in his office all night for news. But when the matter developed to this point, everyone was in the temporary headquarters, looking at each other, until one of the officials suddenly said: "There is no missing person at all, how can there be a missing person?" This is a very simple logic. In an instant, the crowd was raging, and several people shouted: "Someone made a fake disappearance case?" This should be the only conclusion that, whatever the purpose, the disappearance does not exist. So, the news report made all the reports that were misunderstood. So the searchers left one after another. However, there were so many witnesses. The driver said categorically that he drove this group of people for a long time. After a little investigation by the police, it was true that many people had seen female teachers and children. The police invited a drawing expert to draw a portrait of the beautiful female teacher based on the description of the witnesses, and then conducted a secret investigation. Due to the unexplainable mystery of the whole incident, it has not been made public since it was reported that night. The general public only knows that there is a misunderstanding, but they do not know the truth. Those who have clearly seen female teachers and children believe that they are delusional after being persuaded by experts such as psychologists.Hallucinations, own imaginations, etc. But the young driver persisted and was even sent to a mental hospital. Only Batu is not affected.He had seen the female teacher and those seventeen or eighteen children—if Batu hadn't seen them before, and it was definitely not his own hallucination, the whole matter might have ended here! Batu started the investigation with his own strength. His ability is superb. After a week, the information he obtained may be far better than that of the police, but he is still clueless. The mystery of the matter lies in the fact that the female teacher and the seventeen or eighteen primary school students she brought came out of nowhere. In all the primary schools in the city, there is no such female teacher (nor is there any female teacher missing). Families, and no missing children (of course there are missing children, but not on that day), that is to say: in the world, at least in Finland, there is no such female teacher and those seventeen or eighteen primary school students. The investigation, conducted by officials, expanded to neighboring countries: Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, and even Iceland. Seventeen or eighteen elementary school students were missing. If there were such elementary school students, even if they were from Ivory Coast in Africa, they would be found out. However, there were no pupils at all, and there was no teacher.The missing person could not be found at all, and naturally there was no missing case, which was extremely logical. However, they have indeed appeared, rented a tourist bus, visited the athletes' village, arrived at the site of the ski competition, and then disappeared. The word "disappear again" may not be very suitable, but in this strange thing, I can't think of a better and more appropriate word. Batu's narration came to an end: "You two ladies, Mr. Wei, what's your opinion?" I smiled wryly—I don’t have any insights, what insights can I have for this kind of headless and strange thing? Liang Chenmei looked at each other with a ghostly expression: "A group of aliens visited a certain activity on the earth. After the visit, they left the earth or went to their own base." Batu didn't respond, so I gave a "haha" dry laugh. It cannot be said that the statement of beautiful scenery on a good day is unreasonable. This is a good assumption, although it is too simple. Liang Chen and Mei Mei each raised a finger at me: "When there is no other explanation, the only explanation is the best explanation!" These two little devils, and the pair of babies, Hu Shuo and Wen Baoyu, memorized some of the things I often said, and they told me when they had nothing to do. They also created a new term, calling this behavior "" Use the shield of the son to attack the spear of the son", complacent and hateful. I sneered: "I'm not denying your explanation, but that's not the only explanation." Batu hurriedly said, "You mean—" I said: "For example, the disappearance of time may also occur in such a situation, it suddenly appears and disappears suddenly." Batu shook his head: "Impossible, if a group of people lost in time and space, they must be extremely flustered, how can they have the leisure to rent a car to watch a skiing competition?" I also feel that my explanation is a bit far-fetched: "I just put forward a possibility!" Liang Chenmei and the two little ghosts licked their lips and smiled: "Besides being aliens, there is no explanation. Uncle Batu, accept this explanation, and the whole thing is extremely normal!"
