Chapter 13: The Deserted Village Inn
Things seem to be really as Luo Tian expected, in the next month, Jiangcheng City was calm, and there was no more case of the tragic death of a child, and Chen Xiaofeng's two cases before became headless cases, and for some reason, the case was characterized as suicide, and the police did not concentrate on the investigation in secret, but only arranged a small number of personnel to continue to follow up, and most of the manpower was used to investigate other new cases. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For the definition of the police, the family of the deceased was naturally unhappy at first, but they couldn't convince the police if they couldn't find clues, so they had no choice but to unite themselves and vowed to find the truth. In order to appease the outside world and calm the impact of the case, the police have declared that both children committed suicide and found a series of evidence to prove that they were suicidal.
There was a low roar from Zhang Zheng's office, and the policemen passing by walked quickly with their heads down.
"Why should I terminate the investigation into Chen Xiaofeng's case?"
Looking at Zhang Ningxue's annoyed and puzzled expression, Zhang Zheng rubbed the corners of his forehead, slammed a bunch of documents on the table, glared at Zhang Ningxue, and then said: "It's been a month, do you know how much our police have spent for this case, but so far you tell me, what clues have you found?" There is no gain at all, now this case is very simple, the murderer did not do it again, Luo Tian is right, there is no need for us to continue the investigation. Chen Xiaofeng's case Zhang Ningxue spent a lot of police force, and now his father is about to shelve the case with a word, and he has already declared that the deceased are all suicides, this kind of thing Zhang Ningxue is difficult to accept.
"Father, Chen Xiaofeng, they were obviously killed by someone with evil arts, this Luo Tian has already said very clearly, and you also agree, otherwise you would not ask Luo Tian for help, now you actually want to put the case on hold, you know I don't know what kind of blow the family of the deceased will suffer, they have lost their son, if we don't help them......"
Without waiting for Zhang Ningxue to finish speaking, Zhang Zheng got up abruptly and shouted, "Enough." ”
"It's not just my decision, it's a decision from above." Not to mention Zhang Ningxue, even Zhang Zheng was very strange, the above was very nervous about this case at first, but it didn't take long for the above to start relaxing the investigation of the case, and now he is contacting himself and letting himself temporarily put the case on hold, he remembers very clearly, at that time, the above even intended to let himself set up a special team to investigate this kind of supernatural case, with a posture of wanting to investigate the case thoroughly, but now the conversation suddenly changed, although he didn't quite understand what was going on, but in the face of such an order, Zhang Zheng couldn't openly disobey, Moreover, there are other cases in Jiangcheng City recently, if the police force is used on the Chen Xiaofeng case, this kind of clueless case will only drag the police force and affect the progress of other cases. "Xiaoxue, it's not that no one is in charge of this case now, I've made other arrangements, you better take a look at the cases at hand." Facing the bitter Zhang Zheng, although Zhang Ningxue was annoyed, she also understood that Zhang Zheng was telling the truth, and she couldn't give up other cases because of one case, she was only so persistent because the deceased in these two cases were only teenage children.
Picking up a copy of the material casually, Zhang Ningxue looked at it, and sure enough, this case was not simple, but thinking of the matter of the Zhiyin boy, she thought about it and asked, "Who are you arranging to follow up?" ”
Zhang Zheng looked at Zhang Ningxue with a natural expression, and said with a smile: "This kind of case naturally has to be handed over to professionals, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for this case." ”
"Luo Tian?"
Zhang Zheng nodded and said, "And he doesn't charge money this time, that car is not so easy to take, and he naturally has to do things after taking things." "Luo Tian asked Zhang Zheng for a car to investigate the case, but now Luo Tian has no intention of returning, in Luo Tian's meaning, that is, the case has not been investigated clearly, according to what was said before, this car is equipped with Luo Tian for the smooth investigation of the case, therefore, although the case has been declared to have been qualified, but Luo Tian still wants to continue to investigate, Luo Tian has no objection to this request, he feels that he has no responsibility to do this, in addition, anyway, he is investigating by himself, as for the process and no one is responsible for itIn this unregulated state, everything is not up to you. Therefore, Luo Tian gladly accepted Zhang Zheng's request, and he also felt that it was necessary to continue the investigation of this case.
Half past eleven in the evening.
Luo Tian and Zhao Sanyuan left the store with two black travel bags, and the two walked straight to the car parked on the side of the road, Zhao Sanyuan sat in the cab, and Luo Tian sat in the co-pilot's seat, of course, this car was Luo Tian from Zhang Zheng. After getting into the car, Zhao Sanyuan asked, "Boss, how do we go now?" Two hours ago, Zhao Sanyuan, who was dashing outside, suddenly received a call from Luo Tian, in which Luo Tian asked Zhao Sanyuan to come back immediately, and asked him to prepare a lot of things, Zhao Sanyuan, who was playing hi, didn't want to come back, but Luo Tian's tone was very tough, and in desperation, Zhao Sanyuan could only follow the order, buy things according to Luo Tian's instructions, and then return to the store with two bags. Seeing himself come in, Luo Tian didn't say much, and after taking a bag, he walked out with him.
Luo Tian was silent for a moment, and then said to Zhao Sanyuan: "Go ahead." ”
Although Zhao Sanyuan didn't understand what Luo Tian meant, he also knew that sometimes it was better not to talk too much, so he nodded, started the car, and started to drive forward, but the speed of the car was not fast, he was worried that Luo Tian would change direction for a while, so the courier didn't mention it, and Luo Tian didn't mind it, it seemed that even he didn't know where he was going. The car began to drive, but Luo Tian fell into excitement and hesitation, tonight he was ready to sleep, but suddenly his chest throbbed, and then he felt hot and cold, at first Luo Tian thought that someone was secretly attacking him, but soon found that his body was not abnormal, and then he noticed that it was the key in his arms that changed. Then Luo Tian was shocked, he seemed to feel something, the deserted village inn actually appeared, and suddenly appeared without warning.
So Luo Tian didn't care about sleeping, got up and got in touch with Zhao Sanyuan, no matter what Zhao Sanyuan was doing now, in short, let him prepare everything he could think of, and then let Zhao Sanyuan rush back as soon as possible. Luo Tian, who was originally distracted by the matter of the Zhiyin Boy, suddenly found that the information of the Deserted Village Inn appeared, he was really startled, and at the same time very nervous, and then very excited, Grandpa Luo Xiao has been looking for the news of the Deserted Village Inn, and now he not only has it, but also senses the Deserted Village Inn, how can Luo Tian not be excited? So he gave Luo Xiao incense for the first time, and hoped that he could bless him to enter the deserted village inn smoothly, no matter how miraculous the legend was, only by entering the inside, Luo Tian could get a glimpse of his true face.
The time was almost half past eleven, there were not too many pedestrians on the road, Zhao Sanyuan drove the car, and Luo Tian guided him from time to time, so he kept driving, and soon came to an intersection without a person, and there was a fog at the intersection. Zhao Sanyuan looked at the intersection in front of him, suddenly frowned, and said in a low voice: "Hey, it's strange, why does this road look so unfamiliar, it seems that I haven't seen this road." Just when Zhao Sanyuan was puzzled, Luo Tian obviously felt a strange aura coming, and without the slightest hesitation, Luo Tian pointed to the intersection in front of him and said, "Drive in, slow down." ”
"Yes, boss."
Zhao Sanyuan had no doubts about Luo Tian's order, and turned into the car, as soon as he entered, Zhao Sanyuan felt that the situation was wrong, there was not even a street lamp on the road, and the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, even if he turned on the car lights, he could only barely see the scene within one meter, which made Zhao Sanyuan feel very bumpy, and couldn't help but say to Luo Tian: "Boss, this place is weird, I feel so cold." Zhao Sanyuan's yang fire was very strong, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere around him was wrong, not to mention him, even Luo Tian felt cold all over, which made people very uncomfortable. Just when Zhao Sanyuan slowed down the car, he suddenly found an old man blocking in front of the car, and the frightened Zhao Sanyuan slammed on the brakes, and after a piercing sound, Zhao Sanyuan looked at the old man who was almost standing in front of him, and couldn't help but tremble.
The old man was bloodless, wearing a shabby tunic, and a pair of cloudy eyes stared straight at him, and the coldness in his eyes could even pass through the windshield and be reflected on Zhao Sanyuan, making him feel cold and shivering. The old man, on the other hand, did not seem to be interested in the car he had just almost loaded on, and without losing his temper or showing the slightest expression of surprise, he just stood there and looked straight at himself. Just when Zhao Sanyuan's frightened hands and feet were cold, the old man suddenly showed a weird smile to himself, then nodded slightly, then let go, raised his arm, and pointed in one direction.
Zhao Sanyuan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he felt that the old man in front of him didn't look like a person, and turned his head to ask Luo Tian, but he heard Luo Tian take the first step to speak, "Follow this old man's instructions, go left." Zhao Sanyuan looked at Luo Tian's solemn face, thought about it, and asked in a trembling voice: "Old boss, let's, let's go, where are we going?" Luo Tian did not answer Zhao Sanyuan, but urged him to drive quickly. Seeing that Luo Tian was reluctant to explain, Zhao Sanyuan looked at Luo Tian, and then at the old man who was still standing there, and was glared at by his cold eyes, he felt very bad, and hurriedly turned left according to the instructions. When the car gradually moved away, there was no longer the figure of the old man in his sight, Zhao Sanyuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, there was no old man in it, Zhao Sanyuan looked back again, but was surprised to find that the old man was still standing there, so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel, the old man was really not a person, a ghost, actually a ghost.
"Don't be afraid, concentrate on driving." Luo Tian's voice came at the right time.
When Zhao Sanyuan heard Luo Tian's words, he suddenly felt a trace of comfort in his heart, nodded, and with a sigh, he concentrated on driving, but the appearance of the old man in his mind could not be removed. After continuing to drive for more than ten minutes, Zhao Sanyuan found that the road seemed to be endless, the surroundings were still foggy, and there was not even a sign, so he continued to drive, open, and suddenly an old man appeared in front of him, and it was the one he met just now, still blocking in front of the car, Zhao Sanyuan hurriedly stopped.
"Who are you?"
The old man's voice was very cold, and he couldn't hear any daring, which made Zhao Sanyuan feel very uncomfortable, as for why the old man had such a tone, and why he didn't look like he had seen himself, Zhao Sanyuan was not curious, he was just curious, what Luo Tian was going to do next. When Zhao Sanyuan looked at Luo Tian, he saw that Luo Tian had rolled down the window, but he didn't open the car door, and he didn't even stick his head out, but punched out a talisman seal. Seeing Luo Tian's actions, Zhao Sanyuan was completely relieved, but what happened next caught Zhao Sanyuan unexpectedly, only to see that after Fu Seal flew out, he lost all his strength before he could get close to the old man, and fell to the ground softly, as if it was not Fu Seal, but just a piece of waste paper. Seeing Luo Tian's actions, the old man didn't seem to be angry, his tone was still cold, and the questions he asked didn't change in the slightest.
"Who are you?"
"Looks right." Luo Tian smiled and nodded, as if he was not surprised by what he was looking at, and then said to the old man, "We are the people who live in the hotel. ”
"What's the hotel?"
"Deserted Village Inn."
"Do you have a key?"
This time Luo Tian did not answer, but was silent, and the old man saw that Luo Tian did not answer, so he asked again: "Is there a key?" ”
Luo Tian smiled, gestured a middle finger at the old man, and then said arrogantly: "It's your business, hurry up and show the way." Zhao Sanyuan obviously didn't expect Luo Tian to answer like this, but thinking of Luo Tian's temper, he felt that there was nothing impossible, as for the old man, he was also stunned, this was the first time he showed a different expression, the old man was silent for a moment, his face was cloudy, and finally said in a deep voice: "Young man, pay attention to your tone when you speak." ”
"Hmph." Luo Tian didn't seem to have the intention of respecting the elder, and he was not even afraid of offending the strange old man in front of him, so he replied casually: "Old man, you should not only pay attention to the tone of your voice, but also pay attention to your identity. ”
Zhao Sanyuan obviously felt that the temperature around him was much colder, and he could see that the old man was very angry, but in the end, the old man only glared at Luo Tian, and then raised his left hand and pointed out the direction. Luo Tian glanced at the old man, chuckled, and then said to Zhao Sanyuan: "Press over." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Sanyuan didn't understand what Luo Tian meant.
Luo Tian glared at him angrily, pointed to the old man in front of him and said, "I'll let you press over, press over this old guy, and step on the accelerator." Zhao Sanyuan was very afraid of the old man in front of him, but he was even more afraid of Luo Tian, so after Luo Tian glared at him, he simply closed his eyes, stepped on the accelerator violently, and pressed it directly. Originally, the old man who saw Luo Tian's actions just sneered, but when the car pressed up, the old man's face changed, and he wanted to escape, but it was too late, and he was directly run over by the car.
"A watchdog still wants to play tricks and scare you to death." According to what Luo Xiao mentioned, before entering the deserted village inn, they will meet the gatekeepers, they will deceive the visitors, trying to make them circle around the environment in this way, preventing them from entering the deserted village inn, as for the reason, Luo Xiao is not clear, but he didn't expect Luo Tian to really meet him. Now that you have met the janitor, the entrance to the deserted village inn is not far away. (To be continued.) )
