Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ghost Returns
Down the steep slope are two roads leading in different directions, which direction did the Rolls-Royce go?
Bai Lotian parked the car on the side of the road, turned on the lights, jumped out of the car, and walked to the middle of the road by the light of the lights.
He crouched down and took a closer look at the tire marks on the road. Both roads are covered in tire prints, making it difficult to tell which direction the Rolls-Royce is heading.
Bai Letian's forehead sweated rapidly, and he complained that his thoughts had deserted. Do you want to give up?
He ran back into the car, found a tape measure, and went back to the middle of the road, found the tire prints on the wet road, and pulled out the tape measure.
He exclaimed softly, the deepest and widest imprint must have been left by the Rolls-Royce, and it was very unlikely that two Rolls-Royces were driving by at the same time on this remote road.
Bai Lotian opened the car door, threw the tape measure into the car, jumped into the cab, turned off the lights, pulled down the handbrake, hugged the steering wheel to the left with both hands, slammed on the accelerator, and the Dodge car suddenly rushed out.
On the hillside was a black bush, and above there should be a pine forest with a huge canopy, and the tall trees on both sides of the road had disappeared, Bai Lotian stared wide-eyed, and ran forward along the road that was faintly visible in the darkness.
About twenty minutes later, in the distant night, a faint light appeared, and hope rose again in Bai Letian's heart.
The car circled the winding hillside and gradually approached the car in front, and Bai Lotian became excited again and finally followed.
After passing through a deep tunnel and approaching the dark hillside, Bai Lotian smelled the smell of seaweed, and the sound of the waves of the sea was faintly heard.
With a hint of whiteness, the car drove onto a coastal concrete road, with shrubs and reeds of varying heights on the left and the sea dotted with reefs and sandy beaches on the right.
The Rolls-Royce lost track again, and Bai Lotian slowed down and slid forward gently, looking left and right with his eyes lest it slip away from the fork in the road.
Except for the sound of the waves crashing against the reef, there was silence all around, and a few night birds fluttered by on the hillside, disappearing into the dark night.
Bai Letian's heart was grabbed by a big hand and pinched into a ball.
After taxiing a few hundred meters on this coastal road, there were faint flashing lights on the right side of the road, Bai Lotian parked the car on the side of the road, stepped out of the car, and gently closed the door.
He followed the road, in the direction of the light, and he walked very slowly.
Where the lights flickered was a small square, connected to a small pier, which jutted into the sea, and Rolls-Royce was quietly parked on one side of the square, and there was not a single figure in sight.
Bai Lotian looked at the Rolls-Royce, and walked quickly to the dock, the sea water continued to rush to the pier, and as far as the eye could see, it seemed that a speedboat was heading into the distance, and the lights on the speedboat were bright and off on the sea.
Looking at the direction in which the speedboat had disappeared, he took out his notebook and pen, drew a sketch, and put it in his pocket.
Bai Lotian looked at his watch, the time was zero, walked back to the car along a very narrow cement road, turned the front of the car, followed the road he came, and stepped on the accelerator.
As the Dodge passed by the entrance to the Reading Bar, a dim light peeked through the cracks in the glass door, and someone walked down the steps, humming a little song and staggering.
Bai Lotian glanced at it, increased the throttle under his feet, and continued to drive towards the city.
The night sky was dark and dark, a few more stars had run away from the sky, the land was vast, and the wind was mixed with the smell of lilac flowers.
Although he was a little disappointed, Bai Lotian felt the restlessness in his heart, this was the thrill of approaching his prey, this was the tremor of approaching victory, and this was the apprehension of walking in the darkness before dawn.
His palms were so wet with sweat that the steering wheel became a little sticky, and when he wanted to get out of the window and let the night breeze blow into the cabin, he turned the lights into high beams, like a searchlight, piercing the night sky.
After passing a road lined with tall trees, the car was moving on a bridge over a river, the road was wide and smooth, and the thick steel rope pulled the bridge body diagonally, and the bridge deck was empty, he stepped on the accelerator to the lowest and sang loudly.
The Dodge car seemed to have wings, and it was as fast as flying, and Bai Lotian was immersed in the song.
A man wearing a police hat appeared outside the car window, like a ghost, and when Bai Lotian turned his head to see it, he was shocked.
"You are speeding, please stop and be checked!"
This voice kept repeating, and Bai Letian thought to himself, it's broken, he doesn't have a certificate, and he can't stand the inspection.
While he was in a panic, the policeman took off his hat with one hand, revealing his true face, his face like charcoal, his body like a bucket, chewing gum in his mouth, and his teeth covered with yellow spots.
Bai Lotian felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw these ghostly eyes, and he tried to remember.
Yes, the policeman who fell beside the railroad was the eyes that he still remembers vividly.
The police also recognized Bai Letian, screamed loudly, his face turned red, and motioned for him to stop quickly, and the handlebars of the police motorcycle were almost leaning against the car window.
Bai Letian, who had already reduced his speed, stepped on the accelerator again, and the Dodge car accelerated instantly, drove forward, and the figure of the fat policeman disappeared in the rearview mirror.
The fat policeman cursed, put on his hat again, bowed down, tightened the accelerator car, and the police car became furious and rushed towards the Dodge car.
The police car caught up with him again and roared to his left. The fat cop waved his fists, pointed, and yelled, signaling him to stop immediately. The police motorcycle rushed straight in front of him, made a sharp turn, tried to cut diagonally into his driveway, and forced him onto the shoulder.
Bai Lotian became even more nervous, turned the steering wheel lightly, hit the direction to the right, and continued to rush forward.
It happened to be a fork in front of him, Bai Lotian turned off the bridge and rushed into a sandy and muddy path, potholes, undulating, and narrow canals on both sides of the path, with some water in it, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
The car swayed and slower, and the cop on the motorcycle rushed out of the window, his face almost pressed against the window, like a grimace.
Bai Lotian gasped while slamming on the accelerator in horror, turning the steering wheel around, and the fat policeman kept twisting his body and cursing loudly, the fierce light in his eyes was enough to kill a strong man.
Suddenly, Bai Lotian suddenly saw a deep puddle on the road ahead, which was full of rainwater, so he had a plan and secretly worked hard under his feet.
