The only suspect who knew Bai Feng was dead, and he closed his eyes forever with all the clues that Luo Chuan wanted to know.

Even in Luo Chuan's view, the deaths of Song Mingze and Chen Xueru must be related, and the murderer is in front of him. But there is no evidence, and it is useless to say more.

At this time, all suspicions are superfluous, it is better to seize the time to do some real investigation. When Luo Chuan left the forensic office, he deliberately asked for "leave" in front of Song Mingze in front of Director Yang. Since Song Mingze already knew that Guan Shan had hypnotized Chen Xueru, he should also know that Guan Shan had already learned about the place of Wudu. If Song Mingze and Bai Feng were indeed in contact, he should have reported the news before Luo Chuan arrived. So this trip, if there is no gain, then in Luo Chuan's heart, it will naturally add another layer of suspicion to Song Mingze.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Luo Chuan and Guanshan set off. It's too far, so you have to start early.

The rainy season has passed, the weather is clear, and not even a single cloud can be seen. The branches on both sides of the road were hanging listlessly in the sun, and occasionally a gust of wind hit, so they swayed lazily twice.

Luo Chuan looked at the scene outside the window and said with some suspicion: "In the current weather, will there be fog in the fog?" Do you think that place will really be cloudy? ”

Guan Shan fiddled with the mask in his hand and said: "Our city is clean because the heavy pollution has moved far away from us. I've also heard that there are many cancer villages, smog villages and other places around big cities, all of which are caused by environmental pollution. We're not going to Silent Hill, it's a heavily polluted town. ”

"The pollution has not been reduced even if the place has been moved, and it is completely a change of soup and not a change of medicine. You said that if Bai Feng and they were there, they wouldn't be afraid of getting sick because of pollution? Aren't they outlaws, isn't that moonlight killer still planning a grand cause? They were not willing to die like this. Luo Chuan was a little puzzled, the killers were also human, if they were hiding in the fog capital, how would they resist heavy pollution?

Guan Shan smiled: "They are not living there in seclusion again, we can go, they must have a way." As long as you don't just live there for years, you should be fine. ”

As Guan Shan was talking, he heard a siren behind them.

Luo Chuan looked in the rearview mirror, and it seemed to be the police car. didn't know what was going on, so Luo Chuan had to pull over temporarily.

The car behind was speeding and stopped in front of Luo Chuan's car in an instant. Luo Chuan got out of the car and looked, the person in the car was none other than the second captain.

This made Luo Chuan even more puzzled, so he walked to the second captain's car, knocked on the window and asked, "Didn't I say don't let me see you recently?" Why, all those big cases have been dealt with? ”

The second captain, Zhu Dapeng, parked the car and opened the door and got out of the car, waved his hand to Luo Chuan impatiently and said, "You think I am willing to chase you!" If it weren't for the traffic police showing me the way all the way, I wouldn't know where to chase you! Our boss said, now that the world is peaceful, just a person like you who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, let me follow you. In case you make some impulsive and childish mistakes. ”

After hearing this, Luo Chuan's eyes widened, pointed to his face and said, "I know the law and break the law?" Am I impulsive and naïve? Are you sure the boss said that? You're all right, aren't you? ”

The second captain waved to Guan Shan in Luo Chuan's car to say hello, and then said to Luo Chuan angrily: "If you don't believe it, you should call and ask now." It's best to help me cancel this mission, I really don't want to go out with you, a bandit who doesn't make people worry, there are a lot of things waiting for me to do, you know? Oh yes, there's one more thing, the director spoke, don't do business for three days at most, and then hurry back to do what to do. ”

Luo Chuan didn't look like he was deliberately playing tricks on the second captain, and he caught up all the way so early, he definitely wouldn't just be joking. Luo Chuan also knew that his relationship with the second captain was definitely not close enough to joke with each other, so it seemed that this was really Director Yang's arrangement. But why did he do it? This made Luo Chuan very incomprehensible. At least until now, Director Yang has not made such an arrangement. In the past, he trusted Luo Chuan very much, and Luo Chuan was responsible for all serious cases. How could he send the second captain to keep an eye on him? This is ridiculous......

However, since it didn't seem to be fake, Luo Chuan didn't want to waste too much time on speculation, so he had to ask the second captain: "Do you know where the two of us are going?" It's a bad place, and things are ...... in the team."

"Don't worry about that, the boss has arrangements. The case at hand has been explained, and it won't be delayed much for just a few days. As long as you're not going abroad, you can do it anywhere. Let's go. "The second captain can't wait. In fact, when he received this "special task" from Director Yang, he was still very excited. First, Luo Chuan is not a person who likes to have fun, he must have a big case when he goes out. Second, this is also the first time, which makes the second captain feel that he is more valued than Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan nodded, didn't say more, and only told the second captain that this was a private investigation, and he couldn't be too high-profile, so he asked the second captain to turn off the siren and follow their car.

Back in his car and set off again, Luo Chuan was still very puzzled. He said to Guan Shan: "Since I, the leader, and Song Mingze have been moving around a lot, my judgment and decisions are incomprehensible. I don't know what he thinks, but he actually transferred Zhu Dapeng out. I didn't tell him what I was going to do, why would he do it? ”

Guan Shan smiled and said, "Maybe you can see that you have a big case to investigate, so you can't rest assured." Anyway, the way you left the medical examiner's office yesterday was really unpleasant. ”

With a stomach full of questions and speculations, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Chuan and the others finally arrived at this area called the fog capital. Before we reached the final location, the surroundings were already surprisingly bad. The originally sunny day seemed to have changed his face suddenly, and the content of dust in the air made Luo Chuan use the wipers several times to see the windshield clearly. The car was clean when I went out, but it was like driving in the desert for a few days, covered with dust.

Luo Chuan lowered his eyebrows and slowed down, and after several tosses and turns, he finally saw those dilapidated road signs.

The road was bumpy and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, Luo Chuan drove cautiously and said to himself: "This place may only be found by Ke Yi and Poo, no wonder he said that this is already a dead city." There's no way to live in this place. ”

Guan Shan also looked at the surrounding road conditions intently, and reminded Luo Chuan: "When I heard Chen Xueru mention this place at that time, it was not a dead city. At least, there are still a very small number of people living here. And you see, those factories have closed down and been abandoned, why are there still chimneys smoking around? There must still be people here. But Luo Chuan, we have to be more careful. Those who remain here are either the elderly, the sick, the disabled and unable to relocate, or some people who are unwilling to move for some reason. After this place was abandoned, the emperor was far away, far away from the legal system, isolated from the world, and everything in this place had to be done with more care. ”

Luo Chuan nodded, and parked the car on the edge of an uninhabited empty house at the entrance to the town. The second captain's car followed behind Luo Chuan, and when he saw that Luo Chuan stopped the car, the second captain also got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he covered his mouth and complained loudly, "What the hell is this place!" Barren mountains and mountains, what are you going to do to rob the house? No one can grab it! If it weren't for the fact that I am a policeman, I would have to suspect that you and Director Yang were trying to kill me! Luo Chuan, you are sick! There's no one in this place, what the hell are you doing here! ”

Luo Chuan looked at the gray sky around him and the dirt in the air that seemed to be visible to the naked eye, reached out and took a special mask from the car, handed it to the second captain, and said, "I told you a long time ago, the environment of the place I am coming to is not too good." ”

The second captain hurriedly put on a mask, and then said, "Yes, I heard you say that the environment is not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!" What the hell are you doing here? ”

Luo Chuan pointed to the big chimneys that Guan Shan had said before and said, "You see those chimneys are still working, it's not that no one lives here, it's just very few." If you want to inhale less smoke, talk less. After speaking, Luo Chuan knocked on the car door and asked Guan Shan to get out of the car as well. They only carried a small bag that they had with them, and most of them contained things that would allow them to breathe normally.

The reason why he stopped driving forward was because the visibility was too low and he didn't understand the road conditions inside, and Luo Chuan was afraid that he would not be able to get in and out. Also, there are a lot of weeds in the neighborhood that are waist-high, and it may be difficult to drive through safely if you are not familiar with the area.

Along the way, we passed two houses, which looked like they were still inhabited. The gate was closed, and there were several kinds of dried sweet potatoes, dried radishes, and the like drying at the door. But when you get closer, those dried sweet potatoes have long been covered with black dust, and it would be strange if anyone who eats this thing will not get sick.

Guan Shan looked at the surrounding sky and said to Luo Chuan, "Before it gets dark, we have to find a living person to ask about the hungry ghosts." If we can't find anyone, we have to go back. This place is full of haze, and we are not familiar with life, so it is too unsafe at night. ”

As he spoke, a figure seemed to appear in the thick fog in the distance. The figure was hunched over his back, as if he was still carrying something on his shoulder, and was slowly walking towards them.

The second captain didn't dare to speak, covering his mouth with one hand, and pointing vigorously at the figure coming with the other, probably asking Luo Chuan to go over and ask.

Luo Chuan and the others walked over to meet the figure, and it was not until they were very close that they saw that it was an old man carrying a flat shoulder. He was about sixty years old, withered and emaciated, wearing a mask, covered in jet black mud, and two broken baskets with bits and pieces of coal on his shoulders.

When the old man saw them, he was also slightly surprised. It seems that he didn't expect outsiders to come here.

Luo Chuan stepped forward and politely asked the old man if this place was foggy, and said that they came here to investigate the environment. The old man looked back at the thick fog behind him, then waved his hand, motioning for Luo Chuan and them to follow him.

Luo Chuan saw that although the old man never spoke, he didn't look like a bad person, so he followed him back for a while. Visibility is slightly higher near the entrance to the village, and the further you go, the heavier the haze and the lower the visibility. Fortunately, the old man took them to the place where they were going to go back, and when they arrived at the place, they saw that it was the house of the person who dried sweet potatoes just now.

followed the old man into the door, and the old man unloaded his flat burden, coughed twice and said, "This place is already like this, what else do you have to check." I advise you to leave while it is still dark! ”

Luo Chuan took off his mask and asked the old man, "Is this the fog capital?" What's your last name? This place is so bad, why not move away? ”

"That was the name of a long time ago. My surname is Yang, I'm this age, a lonely old man, where else to move. There are probably a few hundred people living in this place, and there is nothing to check, so you should go back quickly. Yang Laohan bent down and picked up the basket and poured out the coals.

The second captain covered his mouth behind Luo Chuan at this time and whispered: "I'll tell you, at this time, you can see whether you are impulsive and naïve." Listen to people's advice and eat well. If you really want to take care of the environment, go back and go to the relevant authorities. Let's go! ”

Luo Chuan ignored the second captain, but squatted beside Yang Laohan and asked, "Since there are still hundreds of people in this place, it is not a few." The environment is so bad, how do you live? ”

Yang Laohan didn't speak, still tossing the coal in his hand. The pieces seemed to be scraps that had been picked up, presumably from the chimney.

Luo Chuan asked unrelentingly: "You should have been living here all the time, right?" Have you ever heard of the legend of a hungry ghost eating people? ”

As soon as Yang Laohan heard this question, he subconsciously straightened up and looked around. This feels a little redundant in the eyes of the second captain, and it is difficult to find a living person in this place, and he is still worried that the wall has ears? However, this move is of great significance in the eyes of Luo Chuan and Guan Shan, because it will mean that they have not only found the right place, but also the right person. This old man Yang knows the legend of the hungry ghost. Everything in Chen Xueru's subconscious is becoming more and more real.

Yang Laohan lowered his voice slightly and asked Luo Chuan, "What are you doing here?" Don't talk nonsense! Don't ask! Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether you will return alive! Although our place is now a wasteland, it has not been around for a long time. The legend of hungry ghosts eating people has been around for hundreds of years, why do you ask this! ”

The second captain couldn't help it at this moment, covered his mouth and asked vaguely: "Old man, are there really hungry ghosts and werewolves in your place?" The second captain obviously didn't believe it, and he finally understood that Luo Chuan came to this ghost place for the "ghost story" he told that day.
