Chapter 43: Searching for a Woman's Corpse in the Dead of Night
Lanshan City is more than 300 kilometers away from Longdu, it is a small county town, only through the green train, in order to hurry, but also for convenience, Li Deshen decided to drive by himself.
The car quickly drove out of the city and entered a provincial road, because it was mostly a mountain road, the off-road vehicle driven by Li Deshen had an advantage, and soon left the taxi behind him who was trying to catch up.
Originally, Xiaoyu just wanted to catch up and ask about the situation, but because the driver was not familiar with the road, he couldn't even smell people's exhaust during the whole process. Watching the car in front of him run wildly, Xiaoyu's heart became tighter and tighter.
She is a simple girl, she can't think about many things, and because she cares about the struggle of the cow, her brain can't help but think cranky. When she was about to leave the city, she hesitated, but because of love, she urged the driver to hurry up. However, she still sent a message to Niu Zhan, saying that she was riding a taxi with a license plate number XXXXX, chasing them, and if she saw it, she quickly replied. She hoped that Niu Struggle's mobile phone was only out of battery, but she didn't seem to have much confidence in this guess.
Maybe it was because of money, maybe it was because of other reasons, the taxi driver didn't persuade half a sentence, kicked the accelerator down, and continued to catch up. But at this time, the sun was about to set, and the road they were taking, the vehicles were becoming more and more scarce, deeper and deeper ditches, higher and higher mountains, and denser and denser forests, unconsciously flashing by the speeding car!
Li Deshen is an experienced veteran driver, and he is also familiar with the road to Lanshan City, and he arrived at his destination in less than four hours, and at this time, the sky has already completely darkened.
On the way, Li Deshen called his students and asked him to prepare for the reception. So before entering the city, people were already waiting by the roadside.
"Teacher, you have worked hard all the way" An old man with silver hair, although he was in good spirits, looked at the old man who was already in his early sixties, and greeted him enthusiastically.
Niu Zhan looked at the old man, and then looked at Li Deshen, who was in the prime of life, and suddenly felt a little incredible.
Li Deshen saw his doubts, smiled, and kindly pulled the old man and said, "Fugui, this young man is the distinguished guest I told you, Niu Struggle." Little brother, this is the old brother I told you, Liu Fugui. ”
The old man did not have any rudeness because Niu Struggle was young, he still shook hands warmly like a primary school student, and said kindly: "Please advise, please advise!" ”
"Hello, look up for a long time," Niu Struggle, who was slightly embarrassed, responded politely.
"Little brother, are you strange that Fugui still calls me a teacher in this grade?"
"It's a bit awkward to look at," said the upright Niu Struggle.
"Hey, what's so strange about this, Mr. Li has a big ability, the person is okay, my skills are all thanks to Mr. Li, if it weren't for the teacher's disdain that I was old, I would like to kowtow to recognize the master" Fugui is an authentic northern man, and he speaks very happily.
"Nonsense again!"
"What do you mean by nonsense, let's talk about ability, not to mention grade, if it weren't for you, I would have been where I am today?"
"The old gentleman's bearing is really admirable," Niu Struggle sincerely admired.
"Hey, what kind of temperament is not magnanimous. Okay, this is not the place to talk, let's go, I have already booked the meal, just wait for the distinguished guests to open the table, and we will have a good chat at the wine table. ”
"Then you're welcome," Li Deshen said happily.
"Don't see outside!"
"Wait, let's get down to business first!" Niu Struggle said suddenly.
"Don't worry, you've worked hard all the way, eat first, and then take a good rest. I'll contact the family tomorrow, and we'll get over early in the morning, won't we'll be over?" ”
"Don't contact that family yet, take me over to see it first, or I won't be relieved," Niu said persistently.
Fugui glanced at Li Deshen embarrassedly and said, "No, it's almost nine o'clock, it's so dark, the corpse is hidden in the mountains, there is only one path to walk, and it's not convenient to go now." Besides, do we have to get the consent of the family first? ”
"Little brother, do you have any ideas?" Li Deshen also asked.
Niu struggled to stop talking, paused, and said resolutely: "I still want to go over and have a look first!" ”
Fugui was a little displeased, and was about to say something, Li Deshen seemed to understand something, and quickly stopped Fugui's words and said, "Then listen to the little brother, let's go over and have a look!" ”
The teacher spoke, and Fugui didn't say anything more.
Niu Zhan suddenly thought of something, and said to the old man Liu Fugui: "Oh, I have to work hard for you, help me get a bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a bottle of well water, and a few pieces of yellow paper." ”
Liu Fugui looked at Niu Fen in particular puzzlement, and then cast an inquiring glance at Li Deshen.
"Look at what I'm doing, do what he says, are things ready?"
"It's not difficult, but it's 。。。。。。。"
"Don't do it, I'll talk to you later!"
Liu Fugui had no choice but to follow Niu Struggle's instructions to buy good things, and then the three of them drove into the mountains. When there was no way out, the three of them got out of the car and began to climb the mountain.
At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
The countryside is not as brightly lit as the city, except that the night is clear and bright, and the forest is only dim. The change of seasons in the mountains is more pronounced than outside, and the wind shuttling between the leaves has brought the chill of autumn and rustled the blowing.
The trees become a little distorted in the moonlight, and being in them makes people have an eerie mind, especially the crow crows that come and go, which makes people's scalps tingle. Even Li Deshen and Liu Fugui, who have experienced a hundred battles, walked a little more carefully under the guidance of the flashlight.
But what surprised the two of them was that after Liu Fugui pointed out the mortuary mountain, Niu Zhan threw down a sentence "I'll wait for you there first", and then he didn't use a flashlight, just by virtue of the moonlight, he was flexible like a monkey, flashing left and right, and disappeared.
"Teacher, has this young man been here?" Liu Fugui asked in surprise.
"No, definitely not!" Li Deshen said this, but he also felt unbelievable in his heart.
"Are you sure he knows about the deceased?"
"You may not believe it, he probably knows better than both of us what is going on," Li Deshen laughed at himself.
"Then he is not afraid? I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a little hairy, where did you find this kid, and the guts are too fat, right? ”
Knowing that there was still some way to go, Li Deshen told his students what had happened, and Fugui's first reaction after listening to it was: "You said that this kid is Mr. Yin and Yang?" Teacher, are you confused, how can you find someone like them for this kind of thing? ”
"Forgot what I told you? Existence is reasonable, it is okay not to believe it, but it must be respected. Besides, I think this young man is definitely not as simple as we thought. I don't know if you feel it, but when I was with him, I never dared to treat him as a child, and sometimes, I didn't even dare to look him in the eye. I couldn't help but want to listen to what he said. Okay, it'll be over in a while, talk less and see more. ”
"Understood, teacher!"
After more than an hour, Li Deshen and Liu Fugui arrived at their destination. They saw Niu Zhan sitting alone outside the mouth of a sealed hole, smoking a cigarette and in a daze.
To Li Deshen's surprise, judging from the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, Niu Struggle has been here for a while. He was secretly frightened, in terms of physical strength, he was much stronger than those fledgling boys. And the young man in front of him, without being familiar with the road, was actually so much faster than them.
"Sir, what was this cave for, and how long has it been since it was dug up?" Before Li Deshen and Liu Fugui could take a breath, Niu Zhan spoke first.
"I don't know about this, I'm a local, for as long as I can remember, this cave has existed, it should be for farmers to take shelter from the rain and rest, right?" The old man Fugui replied truthfully.
"No, the radius of five miles is full of mountains and forests, there is not a single acre of arable land at all, it is impossible to dig such a big place for rest," Niu Zhan said lightly.
"How do you know there's no arable land around here?" Liu Fugui, who had just come back to his senses, asked in surprise, because what Niu Zhan said turned out to be true.
"I just went around and had a look!"
"That's it?"
Niu Struggle pointed upward: "You can see it clearly when you stand on it!" ”
The old man Liu Fugui looked up at the steep peaks above the cave, swallowed a mouthful of spit involuntarily, and comforted himself in his heart: "This kid must be running the train with his mouth full, and it is difficult to climb up in the daytime, let alone at night, yes, this kid must be, definitely!" ”
"Little brother, is there something wrong with this cave?"
Niu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Well, I don't think it's quite right!" ”
