Huixiang is a small city, and it has nothing to do with prosperity, because there are a lot of criminals who have absconded here, and the security here is not good, and the whole city can be equated with chaos.

Lu Qiaolan and I got off the plane and got on the long-distance bus, and the people who accompanied us looked like hard-working workers, with rough skin, simple and cheap clothes, and most of the luggage was big cloth bags, and occasionally one or two used suitcases, which were not the kind of good-looking suitcases seen at the airport.

The two of us were different from the crowd.

The person in the seat next to us looked at us curiously.

There was a student sitting diagonally across from us, clutching his backpack and in a constant state of tension.

The middle-aged man in the front seat took off his shoes and socks as soon as he got into the car, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Someone in the last seat was shouting loudly, as if playing cards.

The environment inside the car is really not good.

The environment outside the car is not good either.

There is only a small part of the rolling green hills, and more is a messy farmland and a quarry that exposes bare mountain rocks. The walls that can be seen along the highway are painted with decades-old propaganda slogans, and the content has been blurred in the wind and sun, leaving only mottled patches of color.

There are also no good cars for vehicles driving on this road. Trucks and vans are the majority, while private cars are half-used and not new. I also saw a modified tricycle majestically parallel to a motor vehicle, and it was not slow. As for the cars without license plates, I also saw two or three.

The journey lasted more than three hours.

From the road to the city road, you can see more buildings, but overall, it is the same as what you saw on the road before.

The city roads are not clearly marked, and there are no regular sidewalks. Small shops on the side of the road set up their stalls on the road, and various smells mingled.

I suddenly felt familiar.

The taste of oil and salt, the taste of food, the taste of engine oil......

It's like the smell I smelled after Chen Xiaoqiu entered the hotel.

The coach entered the dilapidated station, and a group of people got off the train noisily.

The student was even more nervous and hugged his bag tighter.

The middle-aged man passing by laughed, "Your student doll came back by car for the first year?" ”

The student's expression was confused.

"How much money did you bring back?" Or did you bring your computer back? Hold so tightly. If you're like this, no one will steal it, and some people will be afraid that they will rob it! When the middle-aged man said this, he laughed and squeezed his eyebrows.

There were people around who followed and scared the student.

The student's face was about to cry.

Lu Qiaolan couldn't look at it, and was about to speak, but I grabbed her.

Lu Qiaolan turned her head to look at me suspiciously.

I was staring out of the car.

Outside the car, a man stood under the window, glaring viciously at the rude men.

Everyone got out of the car.

I saw people outside the car drift to the door, and the men who were laughing at the students were pushed from behind as they got out of the car.

The middle-aged man rushed forward and bumped into the person in front of him, and a group of people fell into a ball and immediately cursed. The middle-aged man jumped up and scolded the person behind him, and the person behind naturally didn't recognize that he had pushed someone.

A group of people quarreled at the back, and they all rolled up their sleeves to make a move.

The driver shouted and yelled at these people.

A group of people also ran out of the bus station, each tall and tall.

If the knowledge is not good, these passengers can only leave with a curse.

The middle-aged man fell the worst, and a layer of skin was lost on his face, covering his face and inhaling cool air when he left.

The students and we were the last to get off the bus.

I saw him with a large suitcase and walked forward with some difficulty.

The ghost he had seen earlier followed him, reaching out to help pull the suitcase.

The student turned his head, probably noticing that the weight of the suitcase in his hand had become lighter. Confused, he continued to walk forward.

Lu Qiaolan asked, "Just now ......"

I looked around and didn't see any more ghosts, but the city felt so dull to me.

I now understand that this is probably not because of air pollution.

I shook my head at Lu Qiaolan.

Pulling out my phone, I hesitated for a moment, but still called back.

The call back was the one the ghost called me.

I was nervous, and when the phone was answered, my heart was stuck in my throat.

"Hello? Who are you? ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was not Zhuang Tao's.

"Hello, I received a call from this phone earlier......" I said as calmly as I could, taking a deep breath.

"Ahh Did you get a call from this phone? When did you receive it? Are you a friend or family member of the owner of your phone? "The person on the other end of the line was excited.

I don't think it's good, "It's neither, I'm a colleague of the owner of the phone." Yesterday I received a call, and it wasn't from the owner of the phone, it was a police officer......"

"Could it be Officer Zhuang? It's a police officer with the surname Zhuang, right? ”

"I don't know, he just said it was the police from Huixiang. I've now arrived at Huixiang with my friends, at the bus station. I said.

"What? Wait, we'll send someone to pick you up right away! The other party said.

I outright refused.

I still remember what Nangong Yao said.

"I'll just come here myself, don't bother, it's faster."

"Ah...... All right. The other party's voice was suspicious.

"May I ask ...... you," I asked.

"My surname is Wang, Wang Xiaopeng."

"Hello, Officer Wang. Then I'll call this again when I get there. ”

"Yes, yes. You can go directly to the Huixiang Police Station, there is a police station here, either a police station or a police station. ”

"Okay, I got it."

I hung up the phone and went to find the staff at the bus station with Lu Qiaolan.

"You're going to the police station, get a car outside." The staff was impatient.

I didn't pay attention when I first got in, but there didn't seem to be any taxis outside the bus station.

Lu Qiaolan and I walked to the gate of the bus station and learned that taking a taxi is not a taxi, but a tricycle.

The two of us looked like outsiders, and the tricycles gathered at the door were very enthusiastic to solicit business.

“…… Go to the police? One asked.

"Yes, the police station, not the police station." I emphasized it according to Wang Xiaopeng's statement.

"It's not a police station, where is that?" The questioner asked me rhetorically.

I'm a little speechless.

"I know, I know the way!" Another electric tricycle raised his hand, "The police station on Caotou Road!" ”

"There's a police station on Caotou Road?" Some people questioned.

"That's it, the one who handled the big case, the murderer who lived upstairs in my house the year before last was caught and sent there." The little man who raised his hand to answer was very proud, "I went over and looked, it was there, it was newly built the year before last!" ”

The people next to him were talking, but they were not talking about the murderer, but about the police station that they didn't know before.

I don't feel comfortable with this kind of atmosphere of Huixiang people.

"Boss, you take my car, thirty yuan, and you can get to the police station in half an hour!" The little man said.

"I only need twenty dollars!"

"You don't know the way!"

"Caotou Road, didn't you just say it!"

There was a quarrel among the people around.

Lu Qiaolan pulled my clothes and handed me the phone.

On the navigation map, the words Huixiang Police Station are marked, but the road next to it is not Caotou Road, but Anding Road.

I couldn't help but frown.
