Chapter 19: The Mortuary

"It seems that you have already guessed it, uncle?!" Zhou Xiaolong asked curiously.

"Well, it can only be said that it is a guess......" Lao Zheng frowned and nodded.

"Oh, can you tell me about that?"

"It's nothing to say, in our public security building, there are many different departments, for example, there is a department in the basement, the police force calls it called the house, in fact, it is a morgue, which houses some murder evidence or the body of a suspect, the person in charge of this department is surnamed Luo, because he works in the morgue, is the head there, generally people within our police force are used to calling him Luo Taiping, Luo Taiping is a very strange person, of course, in the morgue for a long time, always dealing with the dead, The character of the living will definitely change ......"

"What's wrong with this Luo Taiping?" Zhou Xiaolong asked again.

"This Luo Taiping, it's very weird, his biggest interest is to study some crooked things, always buy some weird books on the Internet, what alchemy, what witchcraft, it's all this kind of book, he likes to read it very much, and he likes to study, I heard you say this just now, that glutinous human head, could it be a prank made by this Luo Taiping, in order to deliberately scare me?"

"There is also this possibility, but why does Luo Taiping want to scare you by playing a prank?"

"Hey, it's not because two days ago, because of a case, the two of us met and quarreled, Luo Taiping said little, in terms of quarreling kung fu, he was far inferior to me, I could only suffer a dumb loss, I didn't expect that this guy actually used a trick behind his back...... No, I have to go to Luo Taiping Theory ......"

Lao Zheng was quite angry, so he had to go back to the police force to find trouble with Luo Taiping.

Zhou Xiaolong grabbed Lao Zheng and said, "Uncle, the carcass of this wild dog must be disposed of, in case it infects other animals or people, it will be a big mistake!! ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll find someone to clean it up now."

As for the grievances between Lao Zheng and Luo Taiping, Zhou Xiaolong is not clear.

Lao Zheng's matter was solved first, and then, Zhou Xiaolong left the gloomy alley.

Walked to the main road and stood on the road for a while, there were very few vehicles at this time, and after waiting for a long time, a car drove towards Zhou Xiaolong.

Zhou Xiaolong was very happy and waved to stop the car.

The car, without a signboard, just a piece of paper with the word "rental" written on it on the windshield.

The driver was wearing a pair of large sunglasses and his face was very gloomy.

Zhou Xiaolong didn't know that this kind of taxi is actually very dangerous, the driver likes to take a detour and charge more money, and he likes to find passengers from other places and kill guests.

Zhou Xiaolong's appearance is very earthy, so he was targeted by the driver of the black taxi.

However, Zhou Xiaolong didn't think much about it, opened the car door and sat in the black taxi.

……

Sitting in the black taxi car, I don't know where the sunglasses driver drove the car, a long time has passed, and Xia Xue's home has not been found.

The scene outside the window is full of strangeness, and the scenery you see has become very desolate, as if you have reached the edge of the city.

"Hey, driver, where are you going to drive?" Zhou Xiaolong finally couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you going to the Happy Home Community, you have to drive all the way from the Outer Ring Road to get there." The black car driver said sadly.

"How long will it take to drive?!"

"It's going to take more than an hour!"

"What?!"

Although Zhou Xiaolong was not familiar with the terrain, he also knew in his heart that it would only take half an hour to drive from Lao Zheng's unit to his happy home at most, and he had been driving for more than an hour now, but he hadn't arrived, and he had to wait for another hour.

Even if Zhou Xiaolong was not smart enough, he also understood that this driver must be a liar.

"Parking !!" Zhou Xiaolong shouted loudly.

"What's the call?" The driver of the black car showed a hideous expression, "The place hasn't arrived yet, sit obediently!" ”

"Are you deliberately taking a detour and overcharging the fare?"

"Children, you can't talk nonsense, I'm kind enough to take a shortcut, if you take someone else's car, I'm afraid the fare will be more expensive!"

"Oh, and I'm going to thank you then?" Zhou Xiaolong also said coldly, "However, master driver, let me tell you, I have thirty yuan on me, no matter how you make a detour, I can only give you thirty yuan anyway......"

Suddenly, the driver of the black car stepped on the brakes, jumped out of the car in a rage, opened the back door, and dragged Zhou Xiaolong out of the car.

"You poor ghost, you can't afford to take a taxi, hurry, take out thirty yuan!"

"It's not there yet, why did I give you money, and is there any royal law?!"

"What's the matter, little ghost, you still dare to settle accounts with Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I'll beat you, here in the wilderness, no one can hear you shouting and breaking your throat......"

The black car driver was scared, but he didn't expect to make Zhou Xiaolong laugh.

In the end, this is indeed a wilderness, and no one heard it when he broke his throat, but unfortunately, it was not Zhou Xiaolong who shouted his throat, but the black car driver.

The black car driver was beaten by Zhou Xiaolong, and it was estimated that he would have to lie in bed for half a month before he could drive and continue to kill guests.

Zhou Xiaolong finished teaching the black car driver a lesson, and walked to a big road alone.

At this time, Xia Xue sent him a WeChat message, asking Zhou Xiaolong, it's almost dark, why don't you go home yet?!

Zhou Xiaolong was afraid that Xia Xue would worry about him, so he told Xia Xue that he still had some things to do now, and it was estimated that he would be delayed for an hour or two.

After appeasing Xia Xue, Zhou Xiaolong looked around, completely unfamiliar, where is this?

In fact, this main road is the outer ring road, which is the farthest ring road in the city, and there are not many residents, and there are few bus stops.

Most of the vehicles passing here are trucks, which are the most used for delivery and transportation in the city, and they drive very fast, so it is difficult to stop a car on the outer ring road.

Moreover, people are very cautious nowadays, even if the driver sees someone trying to hitchhike, they don't dare to stop, who knows if the person who stopped the car is a bad person.

Zhou Xiaolong walked along the highway for half an hour, but he didn't find a chance to take a ride.

As I walked, there was a white pickup truck parked in front of me, loaded with fruit.

I don't know if it was a broken down or something else, but the car was parked on the side of the road with the door open.

When Zhou Xiaolong passed by the small truck, he glanced inside the car and saw two people inside.

No, it should be three people.

A man and a woman, the woman was holding a small child in her arms, and the child was crying all the time.

The man and woman are supposed to be husband and wife, and they are coaxing the child together, but the more they coax, the louder the child cries.

Listening to that voice, the child's voice was hoarse.

Zhou Xiaolong has a pure nature, and when he listens to the child's cry, it is not like the ordinary cry of a child.

So Zhou Xiaolong stopped and asked the couple in the cab: "Is it because this child has been crying since night, and he falls asleep a little, but it is easy to wake up......"
