They gazed at the base's gradual recovery and prosperity, their hearts filled with hope for the future. On a quiet evening, the base's residents, finishing their day's work, flocked to the elevated observation deck. The setting sun cast a golden glow over them, casting a golden silhouette across their bodies. They stood quietly, their gaze fixed on the land once devastated but now gradually recovering. Once dilapidated houses were now renovated, with smoke curling from chimneys, a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The streets bustled with activity, shops ablaze with lights, and the air was filled with the sound of people's laughter. The farmlands, once covered in ice and snow, were now a vibrant green. Wheat seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling a story of growth. In the orchards, the branches of the fruit trees were laden with fruit, emitting an alluring aroma. In the factories, the hum of machinery continued as products churned out on the production lines, symbolizing the base's economic recovery and growth. Transport vehicles busily shuttled back and forth, carrying the base's products to distant lands, bringing wealth and opportunities. At school, children ran and played freely on the playground, and the sound of reading echoed from the classrooms, brimming with youthful energy and vitality. In the library, people absorbed their reading, absorbing the nourishment of knowledge and accumulating strength for future development. Elderly people sat on park benches, smiling as they gazed upon the world before them, their eyes filled with satisfaction and emotion. Young people passionately discussed their future plans and dreams, their eyes gleaming with confidence and longing. Hope burned brightly in their hearts, like a flame, growing stronger and stronger. They imagined a future base with more modern facilities, a more beautiful environment, and a richer cultural life. They believed their children would receive a better education and have greater opportunities for development; their adults would realize their value and find fulfilling happiness in their work; and their elderly would enjoy a peaceful retirement and the joy of family. They knew that all these beautiful things would require continued hard work and struggle, but now, looking at the base gradually recovering and prospering, their hearts were filled with courage and strength. They firmly believed that as long as everyone united and worked tirelessly, the future would be even brighter and more glorious. A Shocking Discovery: Xiao Yi and his team carefully counted the base's losses from the cold crisis and the battle against the snake swarm. However, during this process, a shocking discovery occurred: the base warehouse had been robbed. Xiao Yi's face was solemn, notebook in hand, as he led a team through the warehouse. They carefully inspected every shelf, counting the remaining supplies, their expressions focused and serious. "There's a lot less food here," a team member shouted, a hint of confusion and unease in his voice. Xiao Yi walked over quickly, his brow furrowed as he looked at the empty bags. "Keep checking carefully," he whispered. As the inventory deepened, more and more anomalies were discovered. A corner once filled with tools was now empty, and precious medicines were missing. "Brother Xiao Yi, what...what on earth is going on?" a young team member's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. Xiao Yi remained silent, his gaze scanning every corner of the warehouse, searching for any possible clue. At this moment, another team member exclaimed: "Look, the lock here has been pried open!" Everyone gathered around, only to see that the originally sturdy lock had been twisted and deformed, obviously broken by force. Xiao Yi's face became very gloomy, he clenched his teeth, his heart filled with anger and confusion. "In such a difficult time, someone actually dared to steal the base's supplies, it's simply lawless!" His voice was low and stern. The team members looked at each other, and they all saw shock and anger in each other's eyes. "Seal off the warehouse immediately and conduct a comprehensive investigation of everyone in the base. We must find this thief!" Xiao Yi gave the order, his eyes firm, determined to uncover this shocking mystery of the theft and recover the supplies belonging to the base.
"How is this possible?" Xiao Yi's face darkened instantly, his eyes filled with confusion and anger. His voice seemed to be forced through his teeth, trembling with disbelief. His grip on the clipboard unconsciously tightened, his knuckles turning white from the strain. His eyes widened, their once deep and resolute gaze now filled with doubt. He stared intently at the pried open lock of the warehouse, as if to penetrate it and uncover the truth behind it. The flames of anger burned in his eyes, giving them an exceptionally sharp intensity, as if they could incinerate everything before them. "When we're all working together to overcome this difficult time, this happened!" He gritted his teeth, his cheek muscles tensing with anger. The veins in his forehead throbbed, revealing the immense rage and excitement within him. "Who on earth is this? How dare they do something so detrimental to the interests of the base at this critical moment!" His voice echoed through the empty warehouse, a voice of deep questioning and condemnation. The surrounding team members were all frightened by Xiao Yi's anger, and no one dared to speak for a while. Xiao Yi paced back and forth, breathing rapidly, and each step seemed to hit the ground heavily, carrying his inner rage that could not be quenched and his eagerness to find out the truth.
Xiao Yi immediately organized a preliminary investigation. He quickly assembled a group of skilled and capable team members, who sprang into action under his command. "Team One, check for footprints and traces around the warehouse. Don't miss a single clue!" Xiao Yi's voice was decisive and urgent. "Team Two, question the guards near the warehouse to see if they've noticed anything unusual. Team Three, follow me as we conduct a thorough search of the warehouse again to see if we can find any new clues." The team members immediately split up. Team One, armed with lighting equipment, bent over, carefully examined the ground around the warehouse. Their eyes were focused, not missing any possible footprints or signs of damage. Team Two quickly approached the guards near the warehouse and questioned them with serious expressions. "Did you hear any noise last night?" "Did you see anyone suspicious approaching?" The guards diligently answered the team members' questions, trying to recall their past. Xiao Yi led the three teams back into the warehouse, examining every shelf and every corner. Some gently shuffled the remaining supplies, looking for clues hidden within; others traced the walls, searching for any scratches or marks they might have overlooked. "Everyone, be careful! Any clue could be the key to solving the case!" Xiao Yi constantly reminded his team members as he searched. The entire warehouse was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere. Everyone was fully aware of the importance of this investigation and was working tirelessly to find the key clue that could unlock the mystery of the theft.
They checked the door lock of the warehouse and found no signs of forced destruction; they checked the surrounding surveillance cameras and found that the video footage of the critical time period was missing. The team members gathered in front of the door lock of the warehouse, holding high-intensity flashlights in their hands, carefully illuminating every detail. The surface of the door lock was smooth, without any scratches, pry marks or other signs of violent damage. "This is so strange, the door lock is intact, could it be opened with a key?" A team member said puzzledly. Then, they rushed to the monitoring room without stopping. On the monitoring screen, the picture flashed quickly, but when it switched to the critical time period, the screen suddenly fell into darkness, with only a snowflake noise. "What's going on? Why is the video of this period gone?" Someone slammed the table angrily.
