Chapter 224: The Deadly Bridge
Gu Nanyin instinctively walked towards the car, but as soon as she took a few steps, she suddenly turned around and found that Huo Beixiao had no intention of getting into the car.
"What? Is there anything else you can do? ”
Huo Beixiao put one hand in his pocket and kept standing there observing the surrounding environment. Hearing Gu Nanyin ask himself, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a forest not far away.
"It's said there's a nice view behind that wood, and since we're here, let's stop by and have a look."
Hearing this, Gu Nanyin seemed to understand something. She smiled and returned to Huo Beixiao's side and asked in a low voice.
"That's what you're coming out for, right?"
Huo Beixiao didn't speak, but took the lead in the front.
The air around the woods is fresh, and it has a bit of a natural oxygen bar. A small road leads straight ahead, and except for the occasional peasant passing by, there is no trace of motor vehicles in sight.
Through the woods, the path widens and leads to a bridge. Huo Beixiao stopped at the head of the bridge and looked down. It turns out that this is the highway from City A to other provinces.
Gu Nanyin looked around and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Beixiao, where is the scenery you are talking about? Why didn't I watch? ”
Huo Beixiao walked on the bridge, pacing back and forth.
"Come here."
Hearing the other party's request for the first time, Gu Nanyin thought that his ears were hallucinating.
"What did you say?"
Huo Beixiao stopped and made a gesture towards Gu Nanyin.
"I'll let you come to the bridge."
Gu Nanyin was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly walked to the middle of the bridge.
"What? You don't just want me to see the car below, do you? ”
Huo Beixiao ignored Gu Nanyin's question, but reached out and pointed under the bridge.
"See that railing? It is from the fifth root from the left. ”
Gu Nanyin nodded.
"See, is there anything special?"
Huo Beixiao's face was grim, and he sighed after a long time.
"There, that's where Wen Jun got into a car accident."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Nanyin felt that his brain was "buzzing", and he was about to explode.
"You...... What did you say? ”
Huo Beixiao lit a cigarette and muttered while smoking.
"That's right, it was there that Wen Jun almost lost his life. I brought you to the scene today to tell you the results of our current investigation. ”
Gu Nanyin stood like a statue for a few minutes, during which her eyes kept staring at the place where the car accident occurred. It seems that that extremely terrifying moment has been completely made up by her.
Huo Beixiao spit out a smoke ring.
"Are you ready? If I'm ready, I'll start unraveling the mystery of the crash. ”
Gu Nanyin came to her senses, she wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and nodded hard.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, tell me, what is the truth?"
Huo Beixiao flicked the cigarette ash and began his own narrative.
In fact, when he learned about the initial car accident, he had doubts in his heart. It is said that the car in which Wen Jun was sitting at that time was equipped with various protection configurations, and the driver who drove the car was also experienced. In this case, unless affected by an external force, the chances of them overturning themselves are slim. So if it was really an external force, what happened at that time?
Next, Huo Beixiao focused his attention on the driver's head injury. After communicating with the police and the hospital, the expert team hired by Huo Beixiao saw the X-ray of the driver's head. According to the judgment of the appraisal experts, the driver's head was injured by a hard object. But if it was just a single head-butt hit on the glass, it would definitely not be that serious.
In the end, it was the decisive evidence in this incident. Police found a bloody stone in the damaged compartment. After examination, the blood stains on it were found to be from the driver's head. At this point, the truth of the car accident is basically coming out.
Huo Beixiao walked to the bridge and muttered a final narrative.
"In the early hours of that morning, someone was standing in this position and threw a stone at the highway. And the stone just happened to hit the driver's head impartially, instructing the high-speed vehicle to lose control on the spot, causing a tragedy. ”
Gu Nanyin's lips trembled slightly, her mind was blank after listening to the whole situation, and she didn't know what words to use to describe the surprise in her heart.
"This ...... It's too much to accept......"
Huo Beixiao sighed.
"Yes, at first glance, it sounds like an unacceptable result. But the reality is that the unacceptable result has happened so really. ”
Gu Nanyin shook his head desperately.
"No! The culprit who threw the stone must be found! Since he has caused trouble himself, he should come out and take responsibility himself! ”
Huo Beixiao nodded lightly.
"That's the truth, but the police have been investigating for several days, and they still don't have a clue. Looks like we're going to have to find a way to help them this time. ”
Suddenly, Gu Nanyin's eyes flashed with a glint of hope.
"Say it quickly! What are we going to do? ”
Huo Beixiao extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into a pile of garbage at the bridge.
"I can only think of one of the dumbest methods – elimination. Find a way to eliminate the suspects one by one, and the last one left must be the real murderer. ”
Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly.
"It's like you didn't say it."
Huo Beixiao took the other party's hand and stared at the woman with extremely serious eyes.
"I will do my best to do this, and I hope you can be with me anytime and anywhere."
Gu Nanyin never expected that a man would suddenly say such a thing emotionally, her heart beat faster, and she nodded with the same very serious attitude.
"Of course! Wherever you go, I'll go! ”
Returning to the car along the same road, the two people were about to get in the car and leave. Suddenly, Gu Nanyin was attracted by a middle-aged woman who entered and exited the door of the hotel.
I saw that the middle-aged woman was dressed up in a fancy way, talking to the old lady of the hotel, and taking out a mirror and lipstick while taking pictures and wiping them there.
"That person is the proprietress of this shop, is there anything wrong?"
Hearing Huo Beixiao ask himself this, Gu Nanyin gasped with heavy doubts.
"It's weird...... How could she use that lipstick? ”
Huo Beixiao tilted his head.
"What's wrong with the lipstick?"
Gu Nanyin explained softly.
"If I'm not mistaken, that lipstick is the latest luxury for this spring. There is only a limit of 1,000 in the world, and the price in China is ridiculously high. The proprietress of a small restaurant should not be able to afford this grade of cosmetics. ”
After hearing these words, Huo Beixiao sneered faintly.
"It seems that selling mutton soup is indeed a good way to make a fortune...... Let's go first, after all, there are more important things to do. ”
On the way back, Huo Beixiao called Lu Qiran and asked him to order two tickets to City B.
"Mr. Huo, do you need to find someone to accompany you?"
"There's no need. Oh yes, there's a shop here that has a good lamb soup, so you can come and try it when you have time. ”
