Chapter 337 The Dilapidated House 1

Wah-dee and Ho Sheung-sang did not linger in Lee Man-bun's office. After leaving in a hurry, they returned to their respective residences to rest. However, Wah-dee did not fall asleep peacefully as usual. Instead, he quietly dialed the phone number of the person in charge of the 571 Special Operations Team in Hong Kong and relayed the matter of the burned-down building mentioned by Lee Man-bun, asking the other party to pay close attention to the relevant situation.

Not long after, the person in charge named Wu Qingfei quickly took action and personally delivered a thick stack of document bags. Upon opening them, they found not only detailed information about the building but also several valuable newspapers and periodicals preserved from that time. Compared to the materials that Li Wenbin had previously provided to Hua Di for review, this newly acquired information was undoubtedly more detailed and comprehensive, even listing various speculations about the cause of death of the first head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Section.

Wah-di studied each page in his hands with rapt attention. As he read on, an indescribable anxiety grew stronger. He thought to himself, "This place must hold some unknown secrets! With only a few dozen days left until Hong Kong's smooth return to China, we cannot allow any potential hidden dangers to affect the overall situation..." After careful consideration, Wah-di made a crucial decision—to lead the 571 team to conduct an on-site investigation of the mysterious building.

The dilapidated house was tightly cordoned off by police, yet puzzlingly, no officers were seen guarding the surrounding area. This could be due to the building's remote suburban location, or perhaps the administrative department had other pressing matters to attend to and was unable to attend to the situation.

At this moment, Hua Di, accompanied only by Wu Qingfei, stepped into the building, which could truly be described as a "dilapidated house." Looking around, the house occupied a rather spacious area, containing an enormous living room. Although it had been ravaged by a raging fire, leaving the entire house unrecognizable and in ruins, thankfully, the main structure had not completely collapsed. Even amidst the current scene of ruins and rubble, one could still vaguely glimpse the former luxury and grandeur of the house's interior.

According to police records and archives from the 571 Research Institute, this dilapidated house was originally the residence of a wealthy Japanese merchant. After Japan's defeat in the war of aggression against China, due to its remote location and the surrounding desolate environment, no one lived there afterward. Time passed quickly, and ten years went by. Then one day, several students from Hong Kong University, driven by an intense thirst for adventure and curiosity, resolutely chose to embark on an adventure to explore this place. However, the ending was unexpected—everyone involved in the expedition mysteriously disappeared!

Surprisingly, their teachers didn't report the children missing to the police until three whole days later! The main reason was that it was during school holidays, and the teachers didn't immediately notice anything amiss. However, when the new semester started, everyone suddenly realized that all ten students were absent. After some questioning and investigation, they were shocked to learn that these brave and fearless young people had embarked on an adventure full of unknowns and dangers—to explore the secrets of a mysterious and dilapidated old house.

Upon learning of this, the teacher was extremely anxious and immediately dialed the police. The police quickly launched an operation, searching tirelessly for any clues. Their efforts paid off; after several days of persistent work, they successfully located the exact location of the dilapidated house. Immediately afterwards, three patrol officers in distinctive green uniforms (nicknamed "Greencoats" due to their distinctive attire) resolutely stepped into this eerie and terrifying place to investigate.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Only one police officer managed to escape unscathed, but worse, he appeared to have suffered a severe shock, becoming mentally unstable and disoriented. Given that the incident involved not only the safety of ten innocent university students but also the predicament of three brave officers, the case attracted the close attention of high-ranking police leaders. Soon after, a large number of police officers poured into the dilapidated house to continue a thorough and meticulous search. Despite the large number of officers involved and the fact that the search took place in broad daylight, all indications suggested that some inexplicable and eerie force lurked behind this seemingly ordinary old house…
