Chapter 88: A Strange Time Difference

(October 9) countdown to the 82nd day

Standing by the window of the Keyuan Hotel, Yao Xiaoyi had a full view of the chaos caused by the explosion at the airport, this change was no accident, it must be related to Brother Niu.

Several sections of the road around the airport have been blocked, leaving only the high-speed kilometre leading to the city. Yao Xiaoyi set up a long-range camera and pointed it at the highway directly opposite the window, but saw several police cars parked on the side of the road, and some police officers checked the vehicles entering the city one by one at the toll gate.

Yao Xiaoyi guessed correctly, the police obviously increased the police force, intending to trap Brother Niu, and perhaps himself, on this only traffic channel.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the toll booth, and then the flames soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the night sky at zero o'clock, and as far as the eye could see, the gate of the toll station and the temporary checkpoint set up by the police were instantly wiped out. Under the camera, two cars were seen suddenly rushing out of the convoy waiting for inspection and quickly rushed past the toll booth.

Yao Xiaoyi hurriedly fine-tuned the focus, the camera locked tightly on the two cars, and found that the driver of the first car was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses, and the gold edge of the glasses flashed in the lens.

"Brother Niu?" Yao Xiaoyi was startled, slowly moving the camera, constantly adjusting the focus, until a few minutes later, the two cars disappeared into the tunnel one after the other.

She then rewinded the video footage, played it slowly frame by frame, and finally froze the frame, and then zoomed in on the picture, and the side shot of the man driving was clearly visible, which was very similar to Brother Niu.

Is this guy really Brother Niu? Yao Xiaoyi opened the laptop and called up the pre-stored photo of Brother Niu, and carefully compared it with the picture she had just obtained, and when she looked at it from the side, she didn't see any difference. But she always felt something different.

What's the difference? She looked back at the footage again, slowing it down.

"Fake!" Yao Xiaoyi was about to scream, and what felt different was that the expressions and sitting postures of the characters in the picture were too stiff and obviously lacked change. Looking at it again, from beginning to end, the person in the painting has not moved.

This so-called middle-aged man turned out to be a puppet!

used a puppet to pretend to be Brother Niu, brazenly rushed out of the convoy, and deliberately attracted the attention of the police? What are Brother Niu's true intentions? Is it to create an opportunity to escape, or is there another plan?

"You old dog, do you think you can fool me by using puppetry?" Yao Xiaoyi sent a text message to Brother Niu with a new number, and did not immediately turn off the phone.

"Hmph, don't you dare to show up as a shrunken turtle?" Brother Niu quickly replied to the text message.

"Looks like I've got to give you another gift, a friendly reminder, until you show up, you'll receive a beautiful gift for you every day, and you'll love the next one." Yao Xiaoyi sent a video in the past, recording the bloody picture of Yao Xiaoyi personally cutting off Xiang Siyu's left leg.

"Never die! I would also like to kindly remind you that I will make your death worse than your sister's. I'm not going to keep you waiting too long, or, guess what, where will I be waiting for you? ”

"Don't bluff. Remember, next time, I'll pick a location that you're very happy with. ”

Yao Xiaoyi didn't care what Brother Niu would reply, and immediately turned off her phone. Now she has confirmed at least two points, one is that there is indeed a puppet sitting on the car, and the other is that Brother Niu has returned to C City.

"Xiao warns, if I'm not mistaken, the person in the car is not the real Brother Niu." She turned off the mobile phone she was talking to Brother Niu, sent a text message to Xiao Feng from another number, and then turned off her mobile phone.

Returning to the window, Yao Xiaoyi pointed the camera at the overpass farther away, and the vehicles in the frame had become a little blurry.

Soon, two getaway vehicles entered the scene and drilled out of the tunnel one after another, one of which followed the overpass a few minutes later, and after getting on the overpass, it suddenly turned left and made a rapid forward direction to the west of the city. Immediately afterwards, in the picture, a police car from the direction of the city arrived, then turned right and chased the fleeing vehicle in front.

However, I saw that the escape car suddenly stopped on the slope section of the bridge. Yao Xiaoyi was wondering about the strange behavior of the getaway car, and the police car accelerated forward, and at the moment when it was about to approach the getaway car, the explosion sounded, and a burst of fire rushed into the sky. In the picture, the escape car is seen soaring into the air, rolling in the air a few times, and then rapidly descending and disappearing from view.

Having just witnessed two explosions at the airport and the toll booth one after another, Yao Xiaoyi believes that this explosion was also caused by Brother Niu. The fact that the getaway car was tasked with attracting the attention of the police and is now actively detonating indicates that the car is considered to have completed its mission, and it also means that the other party has successfully concealed its true purpose by self-judgment. There is no doubt that its real purpose is to cover Brother Niu's escape from other directions.

In Yao Xiaoyi's view, the direction of the other party's escape is more likely to turn right after getting on the overpass and fleeing east along the ring road. To her confusion, there was no second escape vehicle among the vehicles emerging from the tunnel, and the car and the people on it mysteriously disappeared from her lens.

Moving the camera to the toll booth again, she suddenly woke up to the fact that since the explosion at the toll booth, social vehicles have been banned from passing, and the two escape cars that rushed out of the checkpoint should be the last two vehicles to drill out of the tunnel, and it takes about 15 minutes from the toll booth to the overpass, and the error is no more than 20 minutes, even taking into account the speed difference. The photograph shows that the blown up vehicle ended up in the tunnel, and the vehicle that exited the tunnel within the 5-minute time frame before it is the most suspicious.

Yao Xiaoyi called up the traffic pattern of City C, measured the accurate distance from the toll station to the tunnel exit, and combined with the video shooting time, he found a major doubt. The detonated getaway vehicle came out of the tunnel about 1 and a half minutes later than normal. In the case of driving at full speed and followed by a police car, this minute and a half error should never occur.

What's going on inside the tunnel? What did the two escape cars do in the minute and a half? Is this the reason why another car mysteriously disappeared?

Yao Xiaoyi watched the full video again, and within 5 minutes, a total of six vehicles drilled out of the tunnel before the detonated vehicle, three of which were open to the direction of the city, one turned left around the turntable to the west, and one turned right directly to the east. A closer look shows that there is a clear time gap between the last black sedan and the first five, with an interval of about two and a half minutes.

"Black Santana! The next overpass is passed at about 0:30 minutes. Observing this, Yao Xiaoyi's heart moved, and then dialed a phone call, "Act as originally planned." ”

Yao Xiaoyi installed a surveillance camera in the hotel room, connected her mobile phone wirelessly, left a note on the table, left the hotel, and took advantage of the night to sneak in the direction of the overpass where the explosion had just occurred.
