Chapter 11: Clubbing

At about 3:03 a.m. today, the Dongchao District Public Security Bureau received a report that a road traffic accident occurred on Zhengyang Avenue. After receiving the report, the police immediately rushed to the scene to deal with it, according to the traffic police, it was a small car that overturned after a single-vehicle accident. After 120 ambulance personnel rushed to the scene, it was confirmed that the accident caused 2 deaths and 2 injuries among the 4 people in the car.

According to clues provided by nearby villagers, the accident occurred at about 3 a.m. on Zhengyang Avenue in Dongchao District, Wanghai City. It is reported that many villagers were already asleep at that time. It was at this time that people close to the street heard a loud noise outside in their dazed sleep.

Some of the villagers who slept lightly decided to come out together to see what would happen. As a result, in the gloomy twilight, everyone faintly saw a small black car that had overturned on its side on the road not far away, and this car had been seriously deformed, and there were car parts scattered all over the place. At that time, the scene could be said to be a mess, and even two people were thrown out of the car, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the villagers who saw this scene immediately shouted loudly.

The villagers who were woken up walked out of their homes one after another, and when they came to the scene of the incident to see the current situation, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because there were two people lying on the ground, and they had fallen into a coma. Looking closely at the overturned vehicles on the side, the doors and windows have long been broken, the front windshield has been completely shattered into glass slag scattered everywhere, and the entire body has undergone extremely serious deformation. The finder also called 110 and 120 for help as soon as possible.

It was about 3 a.m., and it was still completely dark, and the villagers could only vaguely make out the approximation. No one knows whether the person lying on the ground is alive or dead, and no one knows if there is still anyone in the car. Everyone can only wait for the arrival of 120 and 110. When police and paramedics arrived at the scene, they were greeted with a devastated scene.

After a police inspection, it was found that 2 people were still trapped, and after carrying the people out, the paramedics examined them. After the doctor's diagnosis, it was confirmed that two of the four people who were thrown out of the car were dead, and the other two who were trapped in the car were wearing seat belts and protected by airbags, so although they were also seriously injured, they still had vital signs for the time being. The two were then taken to the hospital for further treatment. After analyzing and investigating the scene, the police found that it may have been a single-car accident, and after the accident, 2 people in the car were directly thrown out, and 2 people were trapped in the car.

According to the villagers at the scene, the Zhengyang Avenue is still in a state of repair, so many sections of the road are in a semi-closed state, and many entrances are also placed with obvious speed limit signs of 40 km/h, but there are still some vehicles deliberately ignoring the speed limit signs and suspected of intentional speeding. But what is puzzling is why these four people are here at 3 a.m., and how did the accident happen? and all this can only be known when the other two surviving people wake up.

It wasn't the story itself that caught my attention, but a photo posted in the body of the story.

Because it was taken in the early hours of the morning, the situation at the scene was relatively chaotic, and the photos did not look particularly clear. At a glance, this is just a very ordinary car accident photo, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan crashed into the isolation pier in the middle of the road, the whole car was seriously deformed, scattered around all kinds of fragments of plastic plates, the front windshield is gone, it should be broken into a pile of scum and scattered. And what I noticed was that in a bush on the right edge of the photo, there was a vague white figure, I don't know if it was a nearby villager watching the excitement.

The figure was so blurry that it looked like someone was running past the camera the moment they pressed the shutter, causing that exposure misalignment.

I was about to zoom in on the photo to take a closer look at the blurry figure, when a slender glass was suddenly pushed in front of me, the blue liquid swaying softly, reflecting a dazzling glow in the light of the bar light.

"Your forget-me-not, sir. The bartender said to me with a smile on his face.

"Okay. I politely nodded at him and held out a hand to pick up my glass, looking down at the photograph as I lowered my head.

"Ah, sorry sir, I forgot to put this for you. The bartender interrupted my train of thought again, and I looked up to see a branch with a small flower in my cup, and I couldn't help but look at him with some confusion.

Before I could ask, the bartender apologized apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, this flower is called forget-me-not, and it is the most important decoration of this wine, although it does not have much effect on the taste, but it will enhance the style of the whole glass." It was just a mistake in my work, please accept my apologies!"

I looked down at the glass in my hand and found that it was indeed the case—although the blue liquid that had been swaying in the glass was eye-catching enough, after inserting this small branch into the glass, it shifted people's attention to the glass itself, although it was only a slight change, but it made the wine and the glass have an incredible blend, as if it had become a work of art.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but look up at the bartender. He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a small flat head, a small round face, and a little baby fat. When he looks at the guests, he always has a professional smile, and his young face reveals a touch of sleek and sophisticated. Wearing a black uniform from a bar, he looks slender and decent.

I said to him nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's the first time I've drunk this anyway, and even if you don't say it, I don't know there's anything else to be particular about, so don't care." As I spoke, I picked up my glass and took a sip, and a strange sweet smell instantly invaded my mouth and nose, accompanied by a faint smell of wine, which made people feel indescribable.

The bartender seemed to see in my expression that I was satisfied, smiled at me and said, "Please slow down." Then he went to talk to the long-haired girl again.

I tasted the liquid in the glass again, feeling the strange sweetness filling my senses again, and I couldn't help but feel a fluttering feeling. To be honest, wine is really my nemesis, and I never think that wine is good, mainly because I drink so little that a can of beer can make me unconscious, so I never get to taste the taste of wine. And today I finally tasted, well, it was delicious.

I looked down at my phone again, just now my phone screen was stuck on the photo, but at this moment I found that the photo has become a broken picture at some point, just like usually, the picture on your mobile phone QQ failed to accept.

I guess it took too long to load and failed, I thought to myself, and was about to open the picture again, but I didn't expect to press the back button, but I went straight back to the news list, and when I looked for it carefully, I found that the news was gone.

I felt a little strange, but a little unwilling, casually opened Baidu and entered the words of the car accident in the early morning of Dongchao District, but the search came out of some other news, and the news I saw just now can no longer be found.

Hey, that's weird. I took another sip of wine and stared at the glass in my hand in a daze, a little stunned. Could it be that some erroneous information was reported in the news just now, and the editor ordered it to be rectified? Or is it something else?

My gaze passed through the glass and landed on the bartender and the long-haired girl who had just served me wine. I had a vague sense that something was wrong just now, and when I clicked on the picture to take a closer look, the bartender had interrupted me twice, and judging from the bartender's every move, he was definitely a veteran bartender, how could he forget the most important decoration in a glass of wine?

Could it be that this bartender is also hiding some great secrets?

I smiled a little self-deprecatingly, it seems that what happened in the past few days has really had a great impact on me, and a deleted news will make me so suspicious, and in the long run, I am afraid that the rhythm of my life will be completely disrupted.

I craned my neck, drank the liquid from the glass, finally enjoyed his peculiar taste, and got up to settle the bill.

"Thank you for your patronage, a total of 45 yuan. ”

I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart, I took two sips and drank a large sip of this small cup of things, and it was estimated that it was less than half a can of Coke, and it cost forty-five yuan.

I paid a little painfully, holding the idea that I could earn back a little bit, I suddenly turned around when I turned to leave, reached out and copied the bouquet of forget-me-not in the cup, "Well, I took this, it smells good." Then the bartender and the long-haired beauty walked out of the bar in a stunned expression, probably they had never seen a turtle like me—just like if you go to a western restaurant to eat steak, and ask the waiter to help you pack the broccoli on the plate as a decoration, and prepare to go back in the evening to mix garlic as a cold dish.

Somehow, I could feel that in their surprised and stunned gazes, there was something faint that I couldn't see through.

I'm not going to get mentally ill.

It was almost ten o'clock at night, and the winter nights were always so deserted, and most of the shops on both sides of the street had already closed, except for one or two 24-hour convenience stores with the lights on. The windows of the tall buildings on both sides are only a few scattered windows that are still bright, and it is estimated that some people are still working overtime. There were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and I stood in front of the bar, exhaling in the cold wind of the winter night, and I couldn't help but feel a little lonely in my heart.

I couldn't drive after drinking, and the subway had long been out of service at this time, and there was no taxi after waiting for a long time, so I had to take out my mobile phone and call an online car-hailing. I heard that there have been some unpleasant ride-hailing lately, and from time to time there have been some negative and news reports, such as female passengers being harassed by drivers, and even robberies and murders. But after all, this situation is still a minority, and besides, I am a big man, so I shouldn't have anything to be afraid of.

Lighting a cigarette, I leaned against the bar wall and waited for the car to come. At this moment, a crisp jingle was suddenly heard, and the door of the bar opened, and the long-haired girl who had just been chatting with the bartender in the bar walked out of the door. When I turned around, I saw the bartender standing in the door and giving a word to the girl.

"Be careful. ”
