The reason why I called Shen Tangzhi in a hurry was because I wanted her to help me check something at Ji Kee grocery store.

That was the letter Qiao Zhenbang left for me when he first came to me.

Qiao Zhenbang's commission is divided into two parts, the first part is to ask me to find his son Qiao Yu, and the other part of the commission is written in that letter.

At that time, Qiao Zhenbang said that if I found his son Qiao Yu, then please follow up on the information in the letter.

However, the speed at which events unfolded was beyond my expectations.

In less than a day, I assisted the police bureau to find Qiao Yu's body, and the suspect in the murder was temporarily locked on Qiao Zhenbang, and after that, I followed Cheng Cheng and immediately began to hunt down Qiao Zhenbang.

In my busy schedule, I forgot the letter Qiao Zhenbang gave me.

Although Qiao Zhenbang is now a major criminal suspect, in theory, he is still my client, and I am still obliged to fulfill his commission.

Dialing Shen Tangzhi's phone, first ask her to go to my grocery store immediately, and in the desk drawer of the studio on the second floor, you can find the letter that Qiao Zhenbang gave me.

And the key to the door, I put a spare swallow's nest under the eaves in front of the grocery store.

Probably hearing my eagerness, Shen Tangzhi didn't ask much, and immediately agreed, and the voice of her asking her subordinates to help her ask for leave came from the phone.

When Shen Tangzhi drove to the Ji Kee grocery store, I briefly recounted the experience of our group for most of the day to Shen Tangzhi, and explained why she was asked to pick up the letter.

"I need to know the contents of that letter, the sooner the better, please." I concluded.

"Okay, I'll call you again when I find that letter." Shen Tangzhi hung up the phone.

……

According to Cheng Cheng's previous introduction, Heishui Town is located in the northernmost part of Jinguan City, southwest of Tangludong District, more than 60 kilometers away from Tangludong City, formerly called Heishui Township, 23 years ago the township was withdrawn and merged into the town, changed to Heishui Town.

Heishui Town was once a well-known poor town (before the withdrawal of the township and the town, it was a poor township), and the folk once had the saying of "going over the mountains for a hundred miles to change salt to eat", which means that Heishui Town is located in a remote area, the transportation is inconvenient, and the products are not rich, resulting in the difficulties of the townspeople's life, even if they buy some salt, they have to go over the mountains and mountains to the county seat hundreds of miles away.

Even if the road is built later, it is still difficult to change the shortcomings of the inconvenient transportation of Blackwater Town, and the town will naturally not develop.

At this time, our two cars made a turn and entered the winding road after a steep slope with a climbing angle of nearly 20 degrees.

This winding mountain road, which is more than 70 kilometers long, is basically developed and built along the ancient mountain road.

Although the natural scenery along the route is attractive, the road is very narrow and two-lane and can only allow two cars to pass together, which would be troublesome if two large trucks meet.

Not only that, but the road is extremely steep – steep and difficult, with many sharp turns, many of which are carved out of mountains on one side and cliffs on the other.

"Stinky fish, pay attention, this kind of winding mountain road, if you are not careful, you will get into a big accident - do you want me to drive?" Lao Dao looked at the steep mountain road and proposed to Li Yi to change people to drive.

Of course, Li Yi was unwilling: "I used to be an underground racer, you went and asked five years earlier, who doesn't know that the god of the Ergong mountain car is my koi?!" Brother Dao, sit tight, it's time to show you real driving skills! ”

"Boom!"

As he spoke, a loud thunderclap suddenly sounded in the distance, and then the light in his field of vision suddenly dimmed.

I looked out the window and saw that the sky had been clear a moment ago was now dark, the ground was full of wind, dust, leaves and debris, and the sky was full of dark clouds and thunder.

"Wow-"

The heavy rain fell suddenly, as if a crack suddenly opened in the sky, and the heavenly river poured back into the mortal world.

In an instant, the torrential rain was like a huge gray curtain falling from the sky, covering the entire heaven and earth, as if it were a dark night.

", why is it raining so hard all of a sudden?"

Li Yi cursed and turned on the wipers.

Raindrops larger than soybeans hit the front window of the car violently, sounding a rapid drum beat that can only be heard in the music of death heavy metal, even if Li Yi drove the wiper to the fastest, the front window of the car was still covered with a thick film of water!

There's almost no way forward!

Li Yi had no choice but to turn on the headlights of the front car, but the visibility was still less than 100 meters - through the rain curtain, we needed to work hard to identify it in order to see the red taillights of the BAIC Warrior in front of us.

Cheng Cheng's voice sounded on the intercom on the car: "Attention to car No. 2, attention to car No. 2, the rain is very heavy, the visibility is too low, please be sure to reduce your speed, keep the distance between cars, please answer if you receive it, over!" ”

"Car No. 2 received, car No. 2 received." The old knife picked up the walkie-talkie and replied.

The speed had to be reduced to an outrageous 30 yards.

I looked at my watch, and it was already 10:16 p.m., and at this rate, we were afraid that we would not be able to reach Blackwater until late afternoon - because the last section of the road would be worse than this winding road, which was a more than 20-kilometer-long muck road, the kind of road, which was fine on a sunny day, but once it rained, it became a muddy road, and the car drove up, and it was uncertain what would happen.

Lao Dao and I glanced at each other, and we both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Car No. 2, stop now! Car No. 2, stop now! Cheng Cheng's hurried voice came out of the walkie-talkie, not only hurried, but Cheng Cheng also brought dirty words, "Fuck, the front is collapsing!" ”

When I noticed that it was raining, I found the poncho, and when we stopped the car, the three of us put the poncho on our bodies, got out of the car and walked forward.

As soon as we got out of the car, we really realized how heavy the rain was!

In the field of vision, the whole sky turned gray and black, and the thick raindrops densely connected into waterfalls, with the waves of the wind, whistling and pouring down endlessly, and the lightning overhead cut the dark clouds, and the sudden thunder shook people's eardrums, which made people have the illusion that the earth was shaking.

The wind and rain were so strong that we could barely open our eyes, and we had to keep our heads down, and the heavy pillars of rain were like whips coming down from the air and beating our backs hard.

Three figures greeted him, the first one was Cheng Cheng, he protected his forehead with one hand to prevent the heavy rain from blinding his eyes, and the other hand tightly grasped the raincoat that was hunted by the wind: "Collapse caused by landslide." We went to see it, there were more than a dozen large stones weighing hundreds of pounds on the road, it is not impossible to clean up the road, but now this kind of rain, it is difficult to say whether there will be a more serious landslide again, the risk is too great, I don't plan to risk it. ”

"Team Cheng, what should we do now? Waiting for the rain to stop? I asked in the pouring rain.

"Now we have to wait for the rain to stop, and we have to turn around and move away from the landslide. I just wanted to call and contact the Tangludong District Police Bureau again, but there seems to be no signal here, do you look at your phone? ”

Lao Dao and Li Yi and I all took out our mobile phones to take a look, and sure enough, it showed "no signal".

"It's strange, I was on the phone with Shen Tangzhi not long ago, why is there no signal?" It was raining heavily, so I quickly put my phone back in my pants pocket.

Cheng Cheng said: "In the mountainous area, the signal is not good, and it is normal, and the nearby signal tower may be out of order." Let's get out of the dangerous road and find a place to take shelter. ”

So we each walked back to our cars.

But before he could take a few steps, Li Yi, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and stretched out his hand and grabbed me and the old knife heavily.

The old knife shook off his hand: "What are you doing?" ”

"You, look in the car—" Li Yi's voice trembled a little.

I looked up at the BAIC warriors parked a few meters away, and it really seemed that there was something in our car......

And when I saw what it was, I was all in the same place!

Through the heavy rain curtain, I saw a man sitting in the driver's seat of our car!

The man was thin as a skeleton, his face was pale, his eyes bulging, and he was staring at the three of us steadily.

Li Yi whispered to me, "Fuck, Brother Ji, what ...... Is it a human or a ghost? We just drove all the way over, and we didn't see a single living person along the way......"

Li Yi obviously remembered what we had told him about our encounter with the paper dummy driver and the conductor.

"Did you get out of the car and lock the door?"

"Lock it up...... It seems like...... I can't remember exactly......"

"Whether it's a human or a ghost, you'll know when you come out for a walk." The old knife snorted coldly, and touched his right hand to the back of his waist, but his movements stopped suddenly, and his whole face turned pale like the person who suddenly appeared in our car!

The old knife blushed and said, "Fuck, my gun is on the car!" ”
