Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mystery of Destiny (1)

After a night, it seemed that the alcohol was still wandering in my body, and my mind was still in a trance. Although I felt the brightness of the morning light through the gap in the window, I was still lying lazily on the bed, even though my eyes were already open, and I did not want to get up. I just looked at the chandelier on the ceiling stupidly, recalled the scene I saw in the light yesterday, and searched the whole brain, but I didn't remember anything.

I thought that there would be some revelation when the chandelier was lit, but nothing was found except for the glare.

simply turned over, only to find that his clothes, pants, shoes and socks were still fully dressed, but there was a strong smell of hot pot.

After changing into clean clothes and pants, I opened the door and found buns and soy milk on the table. I touched the soy milk, and it was still a little warm, and it seemed that it hadn't been long since I bought it.

I didn't see Tang Zhenguo in the living room, I guess it was in the bedroom, so I shouted loudly: "Zhenguo." ”

No one responded, and I walked to Tang Zhenguo's bedroom and found that he was not inside. Just as he was wondering, the mobile phone rang, and it was Tang Zhenguo calling.

"Are you up yet?"

"Get up."

"Hurry up and change your clothes, we'll pick you up downstairs."

"Pick me up? Where to? ”

"Come down and talk about it, hurry."

Tang Zhenguo hung up the phone after speaking.

Be all abroad. However, I am always full of curiosity about inexplicable things, and my usual style is to be able to investigate things on my own, and never ask others, whether it is a mysterious case or a trivial matter.

Picking up some warm soy milk and already cold buns, I stepped out of the door.

Waiting for me downstairs was Tang Zhenguo's father-in-law's SUV. Tang Zhenguo stood next to the car, wearing a pair of black toad sunglasses, his top was a white casual long-sleeved shirt, and the bottom was a pair of light blue jeans and a pair of brown casual leather shoes. This type of clothing is very different from Tang Zhenguo's previous attire. Because in all the time I've been in contact with him, I've only seen him wear black or brown pants, and it's a more traditional old style, and it's really the first time I've seen him in a light color combination with a fashionable and youthful vibe.

So according to today's sunny weather, Tang Zhenguo's casual attire, and his father-in-law drove here, I can be sure that their family must be going to travel, and they will take me with them.

When Tang Zhenguo saw me, he hurriedly shouted, "Get in the car." ”

I am reluctant to travel as a waste of time, but Tang Zhenguo's whole family came to pick me up, and I am by no means the kind of person who is stubborn and does not talk about human feelings. So he didn't say anything, greeted him with a smile, and followed Tang Zhenguo into the car.

The car started and drove forward smoothly, and the veteran driver, who has 40 years of driving experience, grasped the steering wheel, and I was relieved.

Tang Zhenguo asked at this time, "Ouyang, don't you ask where we are going?" ”

I said calmly, "You're going on a trip, and you want to invite me along." But Zhenguo, you know that I am rejective of travel, and I will definitely not agree to tell me directly. So I used this method of not saying anything to trick me into getting into the car first. ”

As soon as my words fell, Tang Zhenguo's father-in-law laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, Zhenguo is really right, the big detective can see through this little trick at a glance." In fact, this method was not what Tang Zhenguo thought, I asked him to do it, he said before that this method will definitely not work, saying that this kind of pediatrics, you can see through it at a glance, and it is true. However, our family sincerely invites you to travel with us for a day, including food, accommodation and play, as a thank you for taking care of Zhenguo. ”

I smiled and said, "Old man, you are polite, and Zhenguo usually takes care of me more." But I'm still curious to know, where is the destination? ”

Tang Zhenguo's mother-in-law said: "It's Tanzhang Gorge, stay in Taoyuan Villa for one night at night." ”

I asked with some surprise: "Is it Fan Runzheng's private villa in Tanzhang Gorge, Taoyuan Villa?" ”

Tang's mother-in-law smiled: "Yes." ”

Fan Yunzheng is a well-known man in our country, he made his fortune in the steel business, and then he went on to enter real estate and international trade, and he also invested in tourism. That Taoyuan Villa is a property he invested in Tanzhang Gorge. But the Paradise Villa is not open to the public, it is the private estate of Fan Yun Zheng, mainly used to entertain his partners around the world. To put it bluntly, it is a leisure and entertainment villa exclusively enjoyed by the rich.

I am a little curious in my heart, why Tang Zhenguo's family can travel and stay in a place like this that ordinary people can't reach. But I am an interesting person, and there are some questions that are better not to ask than to ask, because these questions will have to be solved sooner or later.

When I arrived at Tanzhang Gorge, my first feeling after getting off the bus was that the air here was fresh and pleasant, which made the last bit of turbidity in my brain disappear.

Tanzhang Gorge is located in the southeast of Wanzhou District, Chongqing City, a national scenic spot. It is a canyon-type scenic area composed of limestone, with a total area of 69 square kilometers, of which the forest area is 32,100 acres, and the forest coverage rate is 64.7%, which is integrated with Wang Erbao, a municipal nature reserve with rare animals and plants and the "insect kingdom" of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. The water potential in the gorge changes with the seasons, with the highest in summer. Some sections of the gorge can be used for boat recreation. The water quality in the gorge is clear, no pollution, every time the gorge water touches the mountain wall, it becomes a pool, there are 48 pools in the gorge, and each waterhole is a natural swimming pool.

After playing for most of the day, we finished the scenic spots such as the Wild Imagination, the Tiansheng Stone City, the Taibai View Gorge, the Stone Lion Sitz Bath, etc., and everyone showed fatigue. Especially Xiao Tangtang, who was already asleep on Tang Zhenguo's back at this time.

Hopping in the car, we headed to our next destination, Taoyuan Villa. In the car, Tang Zhenguo told me why they were able to stay in Taoyuan Villa.

It turned out that Tang Zhenguo's father-in-law, Pan Tianping, was Fan Runzheng's old squad leader. They all enlisted in the army when they were young, and they were transport soldiers in Tibet, and in a transportation mission, Pan Tianping also saved Fan Runzheng's life. That's why their Pan family has such a special treatment. And when he came to Taoyuan Villa tonight, Pan Tianping also received an invitation letter from Fan Runzheng, inviting their Pan family to get together at Taoyuan Villa.

It's only about three kilometers from Tanzhang Gorge to Taoyuan Villa, but the road is dangerous, with an abyss on one side and a cliff on the other. According to Pan Lao, this road often collapses, and this road is the only road leading to Taoyuan Villa, if it collapses, you must wait for the engineering team to clear the road before you can enter and exit the villa.

When I came to Taoyuan Villa, I knew that the word "Taoyuan" was really just right, just as described in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring": the land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo.

Taoyuan Villa is located in a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, where the scenery is pleasant, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The overall wingspan of the lodge is a four-storey building in the middle, which is simple and elegant, while the two sides are slightly lower but more spacious, and appear to be a large meeting room and indoor arena.

In the sculpture of a carp jumping over the dragon gate with unique Chinese characteristics in front of the gate of the villa, a splendid fountain sprays upward, and the crystal clear water splashes fall in the crystal clear pool, which is particularly eye-catching.

The car bypassed the fountain and stopped in the parking space next to the gate of the villa, and when I got out of the car, I realized that there were six cars parked next to it, and all of them were luxury cars. It seems that the guests staying at Taoyuan Mountain Resort tonight, except for us, are all rich or noble lords.

When we came to the gate of the villa, we were guided into the villa by a waiter dressed in a white Tang costume.

When you enter the lobby of the villa, you will be greeted by a blue pool, and in the center of the pool is a unique inlaid golden dragon, shining under the light.

The hall is brightly lit as if it were daytime, and the surrounding furnishings are all golden-themed and luxurious.

As we walked, we admired the dazzling mountain lodge. The waiter said to us on the side: "Mr. Fan is receiving a few guests, please come with me to the restaurant to eat first." ”

I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was already 5:40 in the afternoon, and I was indeed a little hungry after walking for a day. As you can imagine, the food and beverage provided in such a luxurious place must be good.

Led by the waiter, our group took a spacious elevator to the second floor.

On the second floor is the restaurant, and in a private room called "Takebud Matsushige", the waiter settled us down.

It was a satisfying meal, probably the most fancy dinner I've had in over forty years.

When we finished dinner, the waiter entered the private room again, and I looked at the time, it was half past seven in the evening.

The waiter asked us with a smile on his face, "I wonder if you have any requirements for the arrangement of the room?" ”

Pan Lao wiped his mouth with a tissue and asked Xiao Tangtang, "Do you sleep with your grandparents or with your father?" ”

Xiao Tangtang pointed at Tang Zhenguo, so Pan Lao said to the waiter: "My wife and I live in a room, the child lives in a room with him, and this gentleman lives in a room." As he spoke, Pan Lao pointed at us and explained to the waiter.

The waiter nodded and said, "Okay, then please come with me." ”

We followed the waiter and took the spacious elevator up to the third floor.

On the third floor is the guest room, and when I entered the room, I realized that it was comparable to a five-star hotel room, if not better.

As he was leaving, the waiter said to me, "There is a magic show at nine o'clock in the theatre, and you can go and watch it, and the theatre is in the hall on the left side of the lodge." ”

I smiled and said thank you, and after the waiter left, I gently closed the door. As for what the waiter was talking about, I had no interest in it.

Lying on the soft bed, I felt that this travel was even harder than solving the case. Maybe it's just my personal delusion, because doing something you don't like often makes you feel tired. And doing something you like to do, but you can forget to sleep and eat, and never get tired of it.

As I was lying in bed, thinking to myself, I suddenly heard a muffled thunderous sound outside the window. But I immediately realized that it was not thunder, but an explosion. What happened?
