When the deep woods hide the stag, and the blue sea reveals the whale, I encountered the most indescribable truth in this fog-shrouded town. My name is Su Ran, a novice reporter who came to this remote town to investigate a bizarre missing persons case. As soon as I stepped into the town, the heavy fog felt like an invisible hand, enshrouding everything and making it hard to breathe.
At the town police station, Sheriff Zhao Gang received me. He was solidly built with deep, piercing eyes. From him, I learned that the missing person was named Chen Yue, an ordinary female teacher in the town who had suddenly vanished without a trace three days ago, as if she had evaporated into thin air. On the day she disappeared, someone had seen her near the abandoned factory on the edge of town, but there had been no clues since.
To gather more information, I decided to visit Chen Yue's colleagues and students. At the town school, I met Teacher Li, Chen Yue's colleague. Teacher Li looked very nervous, his eyes darting about as he spoke. "Teacher Chen Yue was usually a very nice person and got along well with everyone. When she left school that day, she looked a bit down, but I didn't ask further." When I asked if Chen Yue had any enemies or romantic entanglements, Teacher Li suddenly fell silent, only saying after a long while, "I really don't know much. You'd better ask someone else."
