Chapter 245: A dilemma
Director Lei on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, until Meng Xiang had to ask more: "Director Lei, are you still there?" β
"I'm here!" Director Lei opened his mouth to answer, and his voice was extremely dignified, "Fang Jiaao, is it also in Baokang County?" β
"It's probably beyond the jurisdiction of Baokang County!" I leaned closer to the telephone and responded instead of Meng Xiang, "It's somewhere between Baokang County and Shenlongjia!" However, this village is clearly registered with the county government in charge, so it will not be difficult to find! β
"That's good!" Director Lei immediately instructed, "You stay where you are first, continue to investigate the situation in the village, I will immediately ask someone to find the exact location of Fangjiaao, and after finding it, I will contact you immediately!" β
"There is no mobile phone signal here, so we call you from a landline phone in the village chief's house, so you can only call us at this number." Meng Xiang said more.
Director Lei said yes over there and hung up the phone.
"What do we do now?" Gao Lingkai asked.
"There's got to be someone here to watch the phone!" Meng Xiang said.
"Then let's all stay!" I say.
Although Director Lei instructed us to continue to investigate the village, in the face of such a strange situation, whoever was left alone to guard the telephone would probably be frightened to the point of madness.
What's more, it is uncertain whether these people will suddenly get up and commit murder, and once the three people are separated, the danger will increase accordingly.
Meng Xiang nodded in agreement. Gao Lingkai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "I don't care, I'll go and guard Fang Fei, if she can be sober, just kill me!" β
I was surprised by these words, I really didn't expect his feelings for Fang Fei to be so deep. So I nodded to him: "Okay!" If there is anything, you shout immediately, and Meng Xiang and I will rush over immediately! β
"Do you have a self-defense knife with you?" Meng Xiang asked more.
"I brought a dagger with me, and I couldn't come to this deep mountain empty-handed." Gao Lingkai said.
Meng Xiang nodded. Because of what happened before, Meng Xiang and I are very cautious now, although she can't bring guns on business this time, but we both have daggers on us.
Gao Lingkai turned around and went out to accompany Fang Fei in the courtyard with a determined demeanor that looked at death as if he were at home. Meng Xiang and I had nothing to say for a while, so I could only stretch out my hand, pull her to sit on a long wooden chair placed against the wall, and hold her in my arms.
"If only Zhang Xiaoyun was here, you can ask her what happened!" Meng Xiang said suddenly.
In fact, I was thinking the same thing in my heart, but at the same time, there was another, more terrible problem in my mind.
The reason why Uncle Zhang came to this place with something slightly better must be to pursue his granddaughter, after all, Zhang Xiaoyun's soul existence is the only driving force for Uncle Zhang's survival.
In other words, Zhang Xiaoyun must have come to this place, and Uncle Zhang knows this very well.
But with Zhang Xiaoyun's ability, she actually let her grandfather fall to his death on the mountain, and the only explanation I can think of is that Zhang Xiaoyun herself is no longer able to protect her grandfather.
So, why did Zhang Xiaoyun come to this place? Is it voluntary? Or forced?
Could it be that some strange force that caused the whole village to fall into a deep sleep also dragged Zhang Xiaoyun here, and made her either die or weaken, so that she was powerless to save her grandfather when she saw him fall to death?
What kind of miserable situation should Zhang Xiaoyun fall into now?
She is a ghost, not a human, and what kind of terrible power should she be able to plunge into misery?
And does this power have anything to do with that relief? Is that relief from this force?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt physically and mentally chilled, and I guess Meng Xiang also thought a lot, because her body trembled slightly.
So I hugged her a little tighter, and was about to turn on the TV to divert our attention from both of us, when the phone rang very suddenly.
Meng Xiang jumped up almost reflexively, grabbed the phone, and put it to his ear.
"Director Lei, how's it going?" She asked.
After asking a sentence, she suddenly remembered that I was by her side, so she pressed the hands-free button again.
Director Lei's voice immediately came from the telephone.
"Fangjiaao is indeed close to Shennongjia, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Baokang County. But this matter is so big, there are more than 300 people in the whole village, so I must make sure again that the whole village is indeed all asleep, and there is no sign of sobriety until now! β
Meng Xiang and I looked at each other.
After the first call with Director Lei, we didn't go out to check again, but I thought that if there were any signs of sobriety, Gao Lingkai would have been yelling at this time, so I opened my mouth to answer Director Lei.
"Yes Director Lei, we can be sure that so far, the whole village is asleep without any signs of wakefulness!"
"That's good! I'm afraid I can't bear this matter alone, and I have to report it to a higher level of leadership. However, I will arrange for a helicopter to go over as soon as possible and bring relevant experts to conduct on-site investigations. β
I know what Director Lei means, this matter is indeed beyond his authority. Those who died one after another last time can still be treated as suicide after all, but now it involves the lives of more than 300 people, not to mention that he, the director of the city bureau, even if he is a higher-level leader, cannot afford it.
"Director Lei, if you want to arrange for a helicopter to come over, not only should you bring experts, but I think you should also bring a few heavily armed armed police and special police! I'm sure anything can happen at night! "I leaned in to the telephone to alert Director Lei.
"I understand this, don't worry, the helicopter will be there before dark!" "I know you must be scared, but I still want you to stay there for the night, because we have to figure out what happens at night!" β
"One more point!" I suddenly thought of another possibility, "Director Lei, if no one contacts you before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, or if you call and no one answers, then it means...... I'm afraid we'll be in a deep sleep too, and if we do any investigation later, not at night! β
Director Lei was silent for a while before he spoke: "I want to ...... This may not be ruled out, so I can't ask you to take such a big risk, I'll arrange for a helicopter to come over before dark, and bring the experts and SWAT. But the helicopter will return directly to Xiangyang, if you want to return with the helicopter, I have no objection! β
Meng Xiang and I looked at each other again, and both of us were turning over the river and the sea in our hearts.
