Chapter 16: Taxis at the bottom of the river
"Xiao Zheng, what are you doing there? Hurry up and drag them ashore! ”
Just as I was stunned, Yichen had already swam ashore, shouting at me with an anxious face.
I jerked my head and subconsciously turned my head to look at the three people who had been pulled out of the water, and found that they had recovered to their original appearance, so I breathed a sigh of relief and swam towards the shore with my limbs fluttering.
It must be an illusion, right?
I thought to myself, the man had reached the shore.
Yichen and the other policemen pulled us up, and Ping Yaowei brought two towels and handed them to Yichen and me.
"Quick! They still breathe, stretchers! Oxygen! ”
A policewoman shouted at the person behind her, and I quickly wiped the water from my face, and the other two policemen hurried to do first aid for the three of them.
"Here it is, here comes the doctor!"
In the chaotic crowd, there was a commotion, and then the crowd automatically separated, and several doctors in white coats ran over with stretchers.
It was then that I and the other two policemen stood up and let out a sigh of relief.
Watching Chang Sirui and the three of them being pushed into the ambulance, my doubts were even worse.
The moment I pulled the three of them out of the water, I saw the taxi driver's face.
Contacting the taxi that fell to the bottom of the river, I had a vague realization that it might not be a coincidence.
"What do you think?"
Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I was so shocked that I was almost scared out of my body.
"Whew...... It's Yichen's seniors. "I kept beating my chest, soothing my pounding heart.
"Are you alright?" Yichen said with concern.
"Oh oh, it's okay, it's okay......"
I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to describe this series of weirdness, and after a few seconds of entanglement, I still told Yichen about the early morning taxi from beginning to end.
Yichen's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and then he threw away the towel in his hand, turned around and grabbed Ping Yaowei's shoulders with both hands, and shouted in an almost roaring voice:
"What time did that woman die?"
Ping Yaowei was so startled by his sudden surprise that he jumped high, and said in a trembling voice: "Yesterday...... Eleven to twelve o'clock last night. ”
"Then why did you come here in the early hours of the morning!"
Yichen roared hysterically, as if he had suddenly become mentally ill, and the people around him gathered their eyes for some reason.
Ping Yaowei also relieved himself at this time, swallowed his saliva and patiently explained: "There is no one on this road at night, and the monitoring is even more broken, I don't know how long." The person who reported the crime came out in the morning for a morning jog, found the scene of the crime and called the police, and we only then knew that there was a car accident here. ”
As soon as he talked about the car accident, I suddenly remembered what Yichen said before, he said that the woman was not hit by a car at all.
But I glanced at Yichen and found that Yichen didn't seem to have an explanation, so I had to resist my curiosity and didn't continue to ask.
"Xiao Zheng, follow me on the next trip." Yichen suddenly turned his head and said to me.
I was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked: "The person has been saved, why should we go down?" ”
Yichen puffed out his cheeks, and his gray beard curled a few times and said, "It's not over yet, let's salvage the car first." Also, have you forgotten what the driver told you? ”
My back instantly chilled, and I remembered what the driver said to me - 'The salvaged car, there is no one in it!' ’
As we all know, the car can't open the door at all in the water, and if you want to get out of the car, you can only break the window.
And just now under the water, although it was only a quick glimpse, I still remember very clearly that the window of the rental car did not show any signs of cracking.
I didn't expect that my casual prevarication on the rental would all come true......
"Let's go, salvage the car first, and take this well."
Yichen said and handed me three copper coins strung together, and I took it and saw that it was the Three Emperor Coins.
"Put it away, these three emperor coins are old-fashioned, and I have been making them for nearly twenty years." Yichen instructed me with a serious face, and he took out the gossip bronze mirror again and wiped it several times.
"Alright, get in the water!"
Yichen patted me on the shoulder and took the lead into the river.
I was a little dazed by his chatter, but I took a deep breath and followed.
Swimming to the top of the taxi, I gestured for the crane on the shore to lower the rope.
As soon as my hand touched the steel rope, my heart tightened for no reason.
Seeing that I was still a little stunned, Yichen urged on the side: "Take the steel rope and hurry down, why are you stunned?" ”
I shuddered suddenly, and the uneasy mood just now disappeared in an instant, and I nodded my head twice, stabilized my mind, and plunged into the water.
The taxi was still quietly stuck in the mud, the doors were closed and the windows were intact.
Only the front hood is a little deformed due to the impact.
Inside, however, it was empty......
'The salvaged car, there's no one in there!' ’
This sentence was like a giant hammer, and it smashed into my chest one by one.
The taxi door and window in front of me are intact, but what about the people there?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt someone on the shoulder, turned my head to look, Yichen stared at me anxiously, and kept pointing at the taxi in front of me.
I was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and quickly swam over, hooking the iron hook on the trailer ring.
But just as I was about to swim up to the shore to start the crane, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the taxi driving position out of the corner of my eye.
At this glance, I suddenly felt that the blood in my whole body was cold, and the whole person seemed to have been splashed with a basin of ice water in the counting nine days.
I saw a 'person' who was swollen with a soaked body and his eyeballs were about to burst out, sitting on the cab with his hands on the steering wheel.
And then......
His neck was stiffly turned ninety degrees, his whole face was like a blank piece of paper, tightly pressed against the car window, and the corners of his mouth were constantly pulled to the sides, revealing two rows of shark-like fangs......
Suddenly, I didn't know who grabbed my ankle so hard that I almost crushed my bones.
Then I felt light, like a slaughtered rooster, and was lifted head-down, and the river water instantly poured into my nose, choking and rolling my eyes.
Before I could react, I rushed to the bottom of the river like a plummeting elevator.
In a panic, my eyes glanced at Yichen next to me, and I saw that he, like me, was carried upside down by a mysterious force, up and down like a shabu-shabu.
How can this TM work! If you continue to be 'shabu' like this for a while, I will be angry if I don't choke to death with water!
At that moment, I suddenly felt a warm sensation in my chest.
Looking down, the Three Emperor Qian emitted a soft light, and then I felt that my ankles were loosened, and my body was finally free.
Yichen on the side also relied on the gossip bronze mirror in his hand to get out of control at this time, but his face was full of pain.
I quickly swam towards him, pinching his chin and pulling him up to the surface.
As soon as I showed up, I shouted at Ping Yaowei on the shore: "Start the crane!" ”
