Chapter 81: Dark Cornfield
After all, Jinhai is a big city, there are many high-rise buildings, and it is easy to deviate from the direction, and Zhou Xiaolong also needs to tell the taxi driver from time to time to adjust the direction of progress.
Just like that, the taxi drove for more than half an hour, and it was already on the outer ring road, and now it was almost dark.
The driver drove a taxi, mainly in the city center, rarely ran so far, he was a little weak-hearted, he asked Zhou Xiaolong: "Sir, where do you want to go, it's late now, I should get off work." ”
Zhou Xiaolong knew that the driver was very embarrassed, and he didn't want to embarrass others, so he asked the driver: "Master, is there a farm near here that grows a lot of corn?" ”
The driver scratched his head and said, "Actually, I rarely come to this place......"
Zhou Xiaolong took out his big mobile phone, and the photos he saw on Long Linna's computer before, when he saw the clearer pictures, he easily retook a few photos.
Zhou Xiaolong found a few photos to show the driver, the driver stopped the car, looked at the pictures, and seemed to have some impressions of one of the photos.
"I don't have much of an impression of the cornfield, but I seem to have been there by car to this high-rise residential building behind the cornfield, because the building is painted with a layer of pink paint, so I am more impressed."
"yes, it's not that far from here?!"
"It's really not very far from here," the taxi driver glanced at Zhou Xiaolong and said, "Otherwise, I'll send you to the vicinity of the high-rise residential building, you can get off, I have something to do when I go back today......
Zhou Xiaolong took out another fifty yuan and handed it to the driver, but the driver didn't take the money, because he didn't know if the high-rise building in the photo was where they were going?
……
The taxi had not yet reached the neighborhood that the driver had said, and in the distance, I could see a large cornfield on the side of the road from the window.
In the photo, the corn is still just leaves, but now, many corn stalks are tasseled, and then look into the distance, sure enough, there is a row of high-rise buildings in the distance, take out your mobile phone to compare, it seems to be here.
Zhou Xiaolong thanked the driver, got out of the taxi, and the car drove away.
Standing alone on the highway of the Outer Ring Road, sometimes, Zhou Xiaolong would drive quickly behind a large truck, "whoosh", like a steel monster.
Zhou Xiaolong froze, raised his eyes and looked forward, pointing in front of him in the northwest direction.
If there was no mistake in the direction calculated with the Six Emperor Coins, it was very likely that Professor Cui would be trapped somewhere in the northwest direction.
There was a large field of corn under his feet, and the corn was not like any other crop, the corn stalk was more than one person high, and it was a large black field, and he could not see anything from the edge of the field, and there was no way to get in.
Zhou Xiaolong jumped into the cornfield, looked at the northwest direction in front of him, opened the corn leaves with both hands, and touched it inside, and his actions were very difficult.
Of course, you can also find another way to get around, but although it is convenient this way, the calculated direction will change greatly.
Zhou Xiaolong is not tall, not even as tall as a corn stalk, groping in it, even if his face is always slapped by corn leaves, there is really no way.
I turned on my phone and looked at the time, and it was not yet seven o'clock in the evening.
At this time, if you are in the center of the city, it is still quite busy and brightly lit, but this is in the crop field, it is particularly dark and desolate.
When I looked up, there was not a single starlight in the sky, and I could only barely distinguish the position of the moon.
Diagonally above the sky, there is a moon with hazy furious edges, commonly known as the hairy moon.
It's not quiet either, because it's windy.
The wind passed through the dense corn leaves, blowing close to the front, not big or small, just blowing the corners of the clothes against the flesh skin into the clothes, making people feel cold for a while, especially uncomfortable.
Zhou Xiaolong walked in the northwest direction with one foot deep and one foot shallow, this cropland was much larger than he imagined, and after walking for more than ten minutes, he still couldn't see the end.
If there was Uncle Bai Zimo by his side, how good would it be, that fat bird flying in the sky would definitely help him find the right direction.
Zhou Xiaolong took out his mobile phone, and wanted to call Xia Xue several times and ask Bai Zimo to come over to help, but Zhou Xiaolong didn't make this call, why?
On the one hand, Zhou Xiaolong was unwilling to let Xia Xue worry about himself, on the other hand, Zhou Xiaolong also hoped that he could face some things independently, Zhou Xiaolong could not rely on Uncle Bai forever, and he also needed to grow.
The moonlight was getting darker and darker, and it couldn't be seen through, so Zhou Xiaolong had to use his mobile phone as a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.
For a while, he was in a hurry, and Zhou Xiaolong didn't pay attention to his feet.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and with a "plop" sound, the whole person lay down in the cornfield, scared into a cold sweat.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiaolong got up from the ground, patted off the dirt and mud on his body, and after picking up his mobile phone, he used his mobile phone to take a picture of what he tripped over just now?!
But when he saw it like this, Zhou Xiaolong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!!
It turned out that there was a person lying face down, who looked like he had no breath anymore, as if he was dead.
How could there be a corpse in the crop field?!
Zhou Xiaolong has walked the rivers and lakes with his master for many years, and he is not afraid of the dead, but when he suddenly saw this scene in this cornfield, he was also very frightened.
After looking left and right to see that there was nothing abnormal, Zhou Xiaolong kicked the corpse with his foot, and sure enough, there was no reaction in the slightest.
Zhou Xiaolong leaned down, took a full breath, turned the person over, and took a photo with his mobile phone, fortunately it was not Professor Cui.
Although Zhou Xiaolong has not seen what Professor Cui looks like, he is obviously not the right age.
The deceased was a young man in his twenties, dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, with a lot of loess on his body and a wound on the back of his head, which resembled a fatal blow from a shovel.
But, strangely, there was not much nervousness on the dead man's countenance.
If someone with experience in criminal investigation can guess at a glance, the deceased is likely to be killed from behind by his accomplices, because he was unprepared and resistant when he died, and he didn't realize that someone would do it from behind......
Zhou Xiaolong is now more worried about Professor Cui's safety, because a corpse appeared in front of him, which shows that Professor Cui has encountered a group of outlaws nine times out of ten.
However, Zhou Xiaolong couldn't understand that Professor Cui was just an old professor in a university, a pure intellectual, how could he have dealings with outlaws?!
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, after Zhou Xiaolong restored the deceased to his original prone position, he quickened his pace and prepared to call Long Linna and Lao Zheng to tell the police that he had found a body in the cornfield, and at the same time, he also wanted to know if Long Linna had found the right place?
However, the sad thing is that the mobile phone has no signal at this time.
was depressed, without warning, Zhou Xiaolong found that a wall appeared in front of him.
Oh my God, how can there be a wall???!!!
