Chapter 39: The more people who seem to be fine, the more problematic they are

Yes, I feel that this person who came out of the flat ground is a bit like Li Hua.

However, Li Hua only showed his face once in the video, and the distance was very far, just like watching a walking person from the highway surveillance video, I can't be sure. Now, the VCR won't turn on and can't be checked.

I came to my senses and said to him, "Yes, you get in my car." ”

Then, I said through the car window to Juice, "Juice, you can go in the back seat." ”

Pulp Juice realized, and Ma Yoer moved to the back seat.

I said to Li Zhao, "Get in the car, let's try to find the mound." ”

So he got into the car.

As the convoy moved on, I continued to chat with him: "How many of you are there?" ”

He said, "A dozen. ”

I said, "How many days have you been separated from them?" ”

"It's been three days," he said. ”

I said, "Where do you say you came from?" ”

He looked at me and said, "I told you just now." ”

I said, "Oh, by the way, you're from Henan." ”

I ask him the same question over and over again, in fact, for two purposes: first, if he answers inconsistently twice, or is completely consistent, like reciting lines, then it is likely that he is lying. Second, I deliberately let him know that I was testing him, and if he answered quietly, it would be suspicious.

He said: "Puyang, I am from Hualong District. ”

I said, "I haven't slept well in a few days, and my head is wooden." ”

I said, "You don't make gutter oil, do you?" ”

He said: "Never do that kind of immoral thing. The Supreme Court has just introduced a law that the production of gutter oil can be sentenced to death! ”

It seems like no problem, he knows the industry well.

I said, "It's boring, tell me about your team." ”

He said: "We had a smooth journey, we arrived at the mound in 3 days, and we expect to go out in 7 days." Unexpectedly, something happened to me. ”

I said, "Did you bring a video recorder?" ”

He said, "I took it and threw it in the car." ”

I said to Pulp, "Slurry, you bring my VCR and I'll see if I can charge it." ”

Pulp rummaged through my case for a while, bringing over the VCR and charger. I inserted the igniter while observing Li Zhao's expression with my peripheral vision. If he was Li Hua, then he should recognize this video recorder.

He just casually looked down, and didn't react obviously.

I then asked, "How many cars do you have?" ”

He said: "9. ”

I said, "So many cars! ”

He said: "There are 13 men and three women, one of whom is only 19 years old, named Xiaoguo, and they have been playing for two years. ”

I half-turned around and said to the juice, "Mi Dou, you hand me the mineral water." ”

Pulp was stunned.

I'm watching Li Zhao.

He turned his head to look at me, then turned to look at Juice again, "What's her name?" ”

I said, "Rice beans." ”

He said, "Isn't she called Pulp?" ”

I said, "How do you know?" ”

He said, "You called her, I thought she was called Pulp." ”

I quickly recalled, yes, when Li Zhao got in the car, I called Pulp Juice's name and asked her to sit in the back seat. This man has a surprisingly good memory.

I didn't find any flaws in him, so I said, "Her nickname is Midou." ”

Li Zhao said: "You knew each other before? ”

I said, "It's kind of an acquaintance." ”

Pulp handed me the mineral water, and I took a sip and put it beside me. Pulp kept listening to the strange conversation between me and Li Zhao, and didn't say a word. I guess she'll be able to guess what I mean.

As I drove on, I suddenly asked, "Do you know Li Hua?" ”

He looked at me: "Li Hua? ”

I looked him in the eye and asked, "You know what?" ”

He said, "I don't know, is it a star?" ”

I said, "No." ”

He said, "Why do you ask me this?" ”

I said: "The one who produces gutter oil, which produces 10 tons a day, was arrested, and I watched his trial on TV the other day. ”

He said: "You can't catch this kind of person. In Henan, several of my peers are doing this. ”

After chatting, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this Li Zhao.

However, the black jacket, the movement of opening my arms, was still a shadow in my heart.

The convoy was moving slowly, and the VCR was still not turned on even though it was charged.

We're running away from the magnetic field, but it seems that we can't do it, and the equipment is malfunctioning all the time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, we saw the only different view, which was a large expanse of dead reed rhizomes. Many, many years ago, the water in Lop Nur was deep and the grass grew, and the reeds grew no less than Baiyangdian, and now they are all dead.

Li Zhao looked around and said, "I seem to have seen this reed......"

I was sleepy, and I was relieved: "Are you sure? ”

Li Zhao said: "I am not sure ......"

If he had really been to this place, it would mean that the mound was nearby.

I said, "Take a good look at it!" ”

Still sharp-eyed, she suddenly cried out, "There's something there!" ”

I said, "Where?" ”

She pointed ahead, "There!" Check it out! ”

Sure enough, a black slimy thing appeared on the desert. The stones in the desert are irregular, so this thing is very conspicuous, it is round. It lay there, not moving.

Li Zhao's eyes widened, and he said, "It won't be my spare tire!" ”

It was two or three hundred meters away from us, and I drove over with the throttle.

The cars behind didn't know what I was going to do, so they followed.

We drove to this tire, stopped, Li Zhao and I got out of the car to take a look, sure enough, it was the spare tire he had dropped, and he also found a broken fixture in the sand not far away.

I saw rut marks on the sand, rut marks of a car, and I didn't say anything.

Li Zhao threw the fixed frame out and said hatefully: "This thing killed me!" ”

I loaded the spare tire into my car, and then I went to Boo's car and said, "You give me the binoculars." ”

Boo found the telescope and handed it to me, "What kind of place is this?" ”

I said, "It's not certain yet. ”

Then, I ran to the high point and looked around with a telescope, but I didn't see any ruins.

I said to everyone, "I guess this place is not far from the mound, let's take a break and have something to eat." ”

Bubu set up a pot stove and made a pot of tomato and egg gnocchi soup with Yiwu, and each person made a piece of roasted naan.

After eating, I said to Bubu, "You take everyone to take a lunch break, and I'll drive around the neighborhood to see if I can see the shadow of the mound." ”

Bubu said: "Without a walkie-talkie, it's too dangerous for you to leave alone." ”

I said, "It's too expensive for the whole team to look for it together." I carry binoculars with me and don't go very far. I saw the rut mark just now, there is no wind today, I follow it, and if I can't find it, I will come back, it should be no problem. ”

Wei Zao said, "Boss Zhou, I'll go with you." ”

I said, "Okay." ”

After settling everyone, Wei Zao and I drove our Land Rover Defender out of the convoy, to the place where the spare tire had just fallen, and then slowly drove forward along the rut marks.

Unexpectedly, this time there was really a harvest, we left the camp, walked along the rut for about half an hour, and saw a black Toyota Prado parked in the distance! We drove up to it and got out of the car to see that one of its tires had burst and there was a spare tire holder left in the rear of the car.

There is no doubt that this is exactly Li Zhao's car.

The license plate is Yue S.

I'm confused.

After Li Zhao abandoned the car, he walked for three days, I am not sure how far he went, but he said that he burst a tire more than ten kilometers away from the mound, and we drove from more than ten kilometers away, and we did not see the mound!

I held up my binoculars and continued my search.

The site is a long earthen platform with remnants of wall foundations and wooden piles, the ruins of warehouses, government offices and soldiers' cantonments, and moats.

However, there were no bulges in my field of vision.

I put away my binoculars, opened the door of the black Toyota Prado, and roughly checked it.

Inside there were suitcases, laptops, some food, a couple of bottles of mineral water. It seems that no one has passed by for three days.

I opened the toolbox and saw a driver's license and a driver's license. I opened it and looked at it, it was Li Zhao's, with his photo and name. His name is really Li Zhao. It's just that the issuing unit is not Puyang, but Baoding, Hebei.

I couldn't find the VCR.

Li Zhao said that he brought a video recorder.

Wei Zao and I removed the spare tire from my car and put it on. We're going to drive him back.

In the vast no-man's land, we magically found two lost things, and let them be reunited and assembled into a whole, which is very fulfilling.

Wei Zao said, "Let's go back!" ”

I said, "Wait a minute. ”

I took Li Zhao's box and looked at it, locking it. The password is 4 digits.

I said, "Give me some time." ”

Wei Zao said, "What are you going to do?" ”

I said, "I'm going to open this box and take a look." ”

Wei Zao said, "Why? ”

I said, "I want to know the roots of this Li Zhao." ”

Wei Zao thought for a while and said, "Isn't it inappropriate?" ”

I said, "Special times, special places, I don't care so much." ”

Wei Zao said: "How can you open it without a password?" ”

I said, "From 0000 to 9999." ”

Wei Zao had a certain smile on his face: "How long will it take?" ”

I said, "It's 1 second faster, it's not more than 1 hour slower." ”

Wei Zao said, "Then I'll come." ”

I said, "Can you pick the lock?" ”

Wei Zao said, "I'll try." ”

I handed the box to him, he looked at the sun, while slowly turning the wheel, while carefully looking through the gap, after a few minutes of observation, he seemed to peep into the password, put the box on the sand, twisted it a few times, "pop", opened!

I was amazed: "How did you do that?" ”

He said: "When I was in the army, the platoon commander taught me a trick - slowly turn the runner, and you can see from the gap that there are two gaps in the runner, and add 5 to the big gap, which is the password of this wheel. His box, the big gaps of the 4 wheels are on 2240, and its password is 7795. ”

I said, "That's amazing, I'll try your box when I get back." ”

I opened Li Zhao's box, and first saw three ID cards in the top net pocket, I took them out and looked at them, dumbfounded - the photos were all Li Zhao, but the names were different, one of them was: Li Hua.
