Chapter 4: Bamboo Town

Zi Shumo was taken aback, he didn't expect such a situation to happen, and in the flash of light, countless thoughts quickly came to his mind: Pull Tu Xiuwen away? Knock down this cop first? It's not a good idea to attack the police! As for why he had these thoughts, he himself felt incredible, as if it was an instinct.

Before Zi Shumo could react, Tu Xiuwen glanced at the policeman with a pout, and said with displeasure: "Lei Qiang, how old are you, you are not tired of playing this game?" Eh, why didn't my parents come, but you came to pick me up? ”

Lei Qiang took Tu Xiuwen's backpack and said with a smile: "Today, people from the province came to raid the work, and the seven masters of Cuizhu Town have all gone to accompany them!" I happen to be here for some business, so I'm going to catch you thief of your heart. ”

Tu Xiuwen pursed her lips, pretending not to hear the last sentence, and asked instead, "Why didn't you go?" ”

"Me? Hey, I'm just a little cop, where is my turn to be in that kind of scene? Besides, it's important to accompany the leader to pick you up! Lei Qiang smiled slightly, and then turned his head to look at Zi Shumo: "Who are you?" ”

Without waiting for Zi Shumo to answer, Tu Xiuwen rushed to help Zi Shumo introduce it.

Lei Qiang half-narrowed his eyes, looked Zi Shumo up and down with the eyes of a suspect, snorted coldly, pulled Tu Xiuwen up and walked towards the parking lot.

Zi Shumo was hesitating whether to follow, when he saw Tu Xiuwen turn his head and wave at him to follow.

"You're going to take this kid with you?"

"He happened to be traveling to Cuizhu Town, anyway, what's the matter?"

Lei Qiang looked at Tu Xiuwen's cute big eyes and reluctantly compromised.

Under the curious gaze of the people around him, Zi Shumo sat in the back seat of the police car for the first time. The smell in the car made him feel very uncomfortable, and he hurriedly opened the window, thinking to himself: What is the relationship between this Lei Qiang and Tu Xiuwen? Is it a couple? But it looks more like Lei Qiang's wishful thinking. Thinking of this, Zi Shumo suddenly realized that he was too gossipy, so he simply put on his headphones to listen to music, but the volume was not turned on very much, and he could just hear Lei Qiang and Tu Xiuwen talking.

"What's the news lately?" Tu Xiuwen was still the first to speak up to break the silence.

"In addition to Liu Jingqing's remains found two months ago, I received a wanted warrant, saying that there are three rogue robbers, speaking of which, you don't want to go out alone."

"Okay. Alas, Qinqing is really pitiful, she has been missing for three years, but she didn't expect that she would be no longer in the world. Her parents must be sad, do you have any clues? ”

"No, it's been a long time, and even the identification of her has relied on the relics around the bones to confirm it. And her family provided a clue, that is, she has a family inheritance and six fingers on her feet. This also coincided with the remains, which confirmed the identity of the remains. Lei Qiang said as he glanced at Zi Shumo in the rearview mirror, with a hint of malice in his eyes.

Zishu Mo listened to the music expressionlessly, as if he was immersed in the music. The breeze blew his soft black hair, and a transcendent smile appeared on his handsome face, Lei Qiang couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: This little white face must be beating Wenwen's idea! Hum!

Tu Xiuwen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, showed a sad expression: "When I heard the news, I thought it was incredible, and I thought it was someone joking." Do you know how she died? ”

"It's really impossible to determine. Hey, don't worry about this kind of thing, after so many years, the corpses are rotten to bones, and basically it can only be an unsolved case. Lei Qiang didn't want to continue to talk to Tu Xiuwen about this topic, and instead asked her about her school.

Zishumo in the back seat looked at the scenery outside the window, and his eyes were full of endless mountains. Except for the fact that this highway can give people a sense of human civilization, there are no people around. Listening to the music in the headphones, he was in a trance again, as if he had experienced a similar situation before.

After the police car ran wildly for more than half an hour, an idyllic fairytale-like scenery appeared in the col, with four-storey western-style buildings with retro style on both sides of the neatly planned streets, and shops on the street all revealing a modern atmosphere.

"This is Cuizhu Town! Have you rented a hostel? If you don't have a rent, go and live in my house! Tu Xiuwen turned her head and said with a smile to Zi Shumo.

"Wenwen!" Lei Qiang angrily parked the car on the side of the road.

"What?" Tu Xiuwen looked at Lei Qiang in confusion.

"You, you let him go to live in your house? It's not appropriate, is it!? ”

"Hey, you don't have to worry about that! Anyway, you're not allowed to snitch! ”

"I won't let him go to your house!" Lei Qiang was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead popped out.

Tu Xiuwen disagreed: "You don't allow it? Oh, then we'll get off first, thank you for sending me back! With that, Tu Xiuwen quickly opened the car door, grabbed her backpack and jumped out of the car. Zi Shumo saw this situation, and hurriedly followed Tu Xiuwen out of the car.

"Hey! Feed! Wenwen! Lei Qiang shouted loudly, Tu Xiuwen jumped on the ground and turned her head to make a face at him while running, and shouted loudly: "No informants!" ”

Although Zi Shumo can't make a mess of the situation, as long as he follows Tu Xiuwen closely to send her home safely, he will have completed the task!

Tu Xiuwen took Zi Shumo through the small street, and did not forget to introduce him to the situation of this town:

Founded in 1975 as Xingchang Village, the town has grown for more than 40 years to become a town with a permanent population of nearly 200,000. The economy is based on tourism, handicrafts, and agricultural and sideline products. As one of the tourist attractions, the ancient street is in the center of the town, which runs through the four directions of east, west, north and south in the shape of a cross, and also divides the town into four parts.

Another feature of the town is that there are canals about 50 centimeters deep on the side of each street, and the water in them is drawn from mountain springs. At this time, it is the season of mountain closure, and the amount of water is significantly less.

Further north, the surrounding buildings gradually become scarce, replaced by villas with courtyards, and the buildings at the foot of the hill can be called manors. Tu Xiuwen's home is in the northwest corner of the town, a house with a strong Chinese atmosphere.

Tu Xiuwen took Zi Shumo around the main gate and came to the small gate in the north.

There was a surveillance camera outside the small door, Tu Xiuwen asked Zi Shumo to wait outside first, and ran into the courtyard by herself, and Tu Xiuwen stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved at Zi Shumo.

"Let's go, I just took Uncle Meng, who was guarding the door, turned off the surveillance, you go to the front and wait for me first."

Zi Shumo nodded and waited in the corner according to Tu Xiuwen's request.

The courtyard is full of bamboo, and a few plum blossoms are budding, and you can already smell the fragrant smell.

After a while, Tu Xiuwen ran over and led Zi Shumo to continue walking inside.

It's like a labyrinth connected by a red corridor, and it's hard not to get lost when you first come in.

Zi Shumo followed behind Tu Xiuwen, spared a few circles like a thief, dodged the surveillance camera from time to time, and came to a small courtyard located in the northeast corner.

"This is the annex, the first house in this house. Later, it was continuously expanded, and it was used as a guest room. Everything in it is complete, as long as you don't go out of this yard, you basically won't be discovered. Even if you want to go out, you just walk through the little door just now, and you won't be noticed......"

As he spoke, Zi Shumo vaguely heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him.
