Chapter 19: The Man Who Crashed into the Bridge in the Middle of the Night
Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili sent the unconscious Liu Mingming to the hospital, and after contacting her family, they returned home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The so-called "home" is actually a free dormitory provided by the owner. When Xiao asked Lu Lu to hear the amount of salary the shopkeeper promised him every month, as well as a free bachelor dormitory, he could hardly believe his ears. This treatment is enough for him to live a fairly comfortable life in this city.
The dormitory provided by the owner is a one-bedroom apartment in the city center, very spacious, nicely decorated and close to the place of work. Xiao Wenlu parked the pickup truck downstairs and went upstairs with Xiao Lili. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Wenlu threw himself into a large bed large enough to lie down for three people, folded his hands behind his head, and pondered about today's events repeatedly.
Originally, he was already about to get off work, but the shopkeeper suddenly asked him to go to the Lihuanqiao to pick up the goods. Not to mention that it is very unusual to run so far in the middle of the night to pick up the goods, what is even more strange is that his family's goods have always been delivered by the supplier himself, and he has never gone out to pick up the goods!
Moreover, at that time, Xiao Wenlu did not see any so-called suppliers, and the shopkeeper was surprisingly calm, as if he had known that the suppliers would not appear.
In this way, picking up the goods or something is just an excuse, and the shopkeeper just wants him to go to the ring bridge!
He did go to the ring bridge, and accidentally scared away two ghosts and saved a strange woman. Could it be that the shopkeeper already knew that there would be evil ghosts on the ring bridge tonight, so he asked him to save people?
But, even if this is the case, why did the shopkeeper want him to come over? Did he know he could hunt ghosts?
Xiao asked for directions and couldn't help but think of the nightmare he had that day. In the dream, his identity had already been recognized by the shopkeeper. This feeling of not knowing the details of the opponent at all, and all your hole cards are looked at by the opponent is very dangerous. Knowing that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles, if the shopkeeper is his enemy, then Xiao Wenlu is already on the disadvantaged side.
Xiao Lili took a bath, threw himself on the bed with a damp body, put his wet little head on the pillow, and turned his back to Xiao to ask for directions and was about to sleep. Xiao Wenlu shook his small shoulders and asked, "Do you think today's incident has something else to do?" ”
"Your boss deliberately lured us over so that we could save the woman." Xiao Liliang's voice was full of sleepiness.
Xiao Lili's statement coincides with Xiao Wenlu's speculation. Xiao Wenlu reached out and rubbed his smart little brain.
"Do you have any impression of those two ghosts?" Xiao asked for directions and asked. Wondering the reason for the shopkeeper's bizarre behavior, these two ghosts may be the breakthrough.
"One man and one woman, one strong and one weak, one old and one new. The old ghost was a man, the most ghostly ghost I've ever seen. ”
Xiao Lili's tone was flat, but it sounded like a thunderbolt to Xiao Wenlu: Xiao Lili has dealt with hundreds of ghosts over the years, if not thousands, but hundreds, and this ghost is actually the heaviest ghost he has ever seen, the heavier the ghost, the more difficult it is to deal with, so the strength of this ghost is unimaginable!
"This ghost is starting to hurt people. I don't know why, but I don't think he will stop. Let's wait and see what happens. After Xiao asked for directions, he also fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Wenlu put on his uniform and started working in good spirits. Since its opening, the "Forget Words" grocery store has been doing a thriving business and has a lot of customers. On the one hand, it is because the decoration of the store is unique, and the goods are carefully purchased; On the other hand, it is because of Xiao Wenlu's personal charm. There is such a cashier who can be called "the most handsome in history", and all the housewives and female white-collar workers around are flocking to this place.
No, a female customer began to ask Xiao Lu again: "Hey, I said, why is this kind of drink in your house more expensive than others?" ”
Xiao Wenlu smiled at her, and was about to answer, when he was suddenly attracted by the TV hanging on the wall. On TV, a beautiful female announcer is broadcasting the news with a serious face: "News from this station: A female corpse was found at the construction site under the ring bridge in this city, and the police have intervened in the investigation. According to the police, the deceased was Gu Xiaoman, an employee of the city's Wantian advertising company, and the time of death was about three to four days ago. This news has been confirmed by internal sources at Wantian Advertising Agency. At present, the case is under further investigation......"
Photographs of the suspected dead were typed on the screen, and a fair-skinned, bespectacled young woman smiled gently.
Xiao Wenlu frowned, remembering what Xiao Lili said last night, these two ghosts, one new and one old, one male and one female. The man is an old ghost, and the woman is a new ghost......
The female customer watched Xiao Wenzhi in a daze at the TV, and stretched out her hand in front of him a few times in dissatisfaction, and forced his attention back: "Hey, it's good to focus, you haven't asked me for money yet!" “
Xiao Wenlu smiled apologetically and handed the change to the female customer. She reached out to take the change, but she didn't take it back, but quietly squeezed Xiao Wenlu's hand and winked at him a few times: "Handsome guy, leave a contact information?" “
Xiao Wenlu pointed to the phone next to the cash register: "I'm sorry, my only contact information is this phone." If you have any questions, please call our store, and we will serve you wholeheartedly. “
The female customer was so choked that she couldn't speak, glared at Xiao and asked for directions, and walked away with a twist.
Xiao Wenlu's mood was very heavy. He recognized her, the victim Gu Xiaoman, this female ghost. She used to come to the store often to buy things, and when she checked out, she secretly glanced at him, and she would be shy and blush when he found out. She hadn't been here for a while, but she didn't expect to hear from her again, and it was actually a different path.
Xiao asked for directions, and his heart was confused. He couldn't figure out how an introverted and shy girl could become a harmful ghost in the blink of an eye?
No, we have to find out what's going on! Xiao Wenlu took out his mobile phone and dialed the shopkeeper's number.
"Hello?" The phone was connected, and the shopkeeper's lazy voice rang.
"Boss, I'm ......"
"Want to take a leave of absence?" The shopkeeper interrupted him directly.
"......" Xiao asked for directions, and was speechless again. How did he know he was going to take a leave of absence?
"Go ahead, it's closed today." With a "beep", the phone hung up.
Xiao Wenlu stared at the phone, with ten thousand question marks in his heart. But the most important thing now is to find out the cause of Gu Xiaoman's death, he turned over the sign of "temporarily closed" at the door of the store, locked the door, took Xiao Lili, and drove the small truck towards the Lihuan Bridge.
When they arrived at the foot of the Lihuan Bridge, Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili jumped out of the car and walked under the bridge. The news said that Gu Xiaoman's body was found under the bridge, and they wanted to go to the scene to see if they could find any clues.
They walked to the riverbed under the bridge and found a large area that had been cordoned off by the Public Security Bureau. There were no police officers at the scene, and it appears that they have completed the investigation of the scene. I saw that on the riverbed in the middle of the cordon, a fixed line of scene traces was drawn with white chalk, and a twisted human figure was shockingly imprinted on the riverbed.
Generally, at the crime scene, the police will use this scene trace fixed line to draw the posture of the deceased, so as to analyze the situation at the scene of the crime. Although the news did not say the cause of Gu Xiaoman's death, judging from this distorted image, Gu Xiaoman is likely to fall from a high altitude and died. Xiao Wenlu remembered the woman she rescued from the bridge last night, when she also almost fell off the bridge. Could it be that all the ghosts who are doing this harm harm people in this way?
Xiao Wenlu was immersed in thought, when suddenly a man's rough voice sounded behind him: "Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
Xiao Wenlu turned around and saw a short, thick-bellied middle-aged man standing behind him. The man was wearing work clothes printed with the words "15th Engineering Bureau" and a hard hat, and at a glance he knew that he belonged to the construction team stationed here.
Xiao Wenlu said politely: "Hello, I am ...... I am a friend of the deceased Gu Xiaoman. When I heard that something happened to her, I was sad and came over to mourn. Who are you? ”
As soon as the man heard Xiao ask for directions, his originally vigilant expression suddenly relaxed. He came up and shook hands with Xiao Wenlu, and said politely: "I am the captain of the construction team, you can just call me Lao Bao." Alas, not long after our construction team settled here, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it's really hard to explain. Our company also regrets the death of your friend. ”
Although this captain Bao has a rough image, he speaks and does things very brightly, and he looks like a scene person. Xiao Wenlu hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask him: "Excuse me, who found my friend's body?" ”
Captain Bao said: "It is a worker in our construction team. ”
Xiao asked, "Where is he now?" Can we meet him? We wanted to talk to him about the details. ”
Unexpectedly, Captain Bao shook his head: "You're late, he's not here." ”
Xiao asked Lu in surprise: "Not here?" Where did he go? “
"After the police took him for questioning, as soon as he came back, our boss fired him." Captain Bao said a little regretfully, "What a good young man, he works very hard, it's a pity." “
"Expulsion?" Xiao was even more surprised when he asked for directions. "Why fire him? Could it be because he found the body? “
"No," said Captain Bao, "it was because he made a mistake and broke the pier!" “
This is brand new news, and Xiao Wenlu didn't expect such a situation at all. He immediately said sincerely: "Captain Bao, can you tell us the whole story?" “
Captain Bao nodded happily and said, "Follow me." Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili followed Captain Bao, stepping on the riverbed covered with sand and weeds, and walked under the bridge pier. Captain Bao pointed to the bridge pier and said, "Look, this is what he crashed into!" “
Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili looked at the bridge pier, only to see that the thick pier of the three people hugged together had been hit into a huge crack, which was deep and long, extending down to the ground.
Xiao Wenlu frowned and asked, "This bridge pier is made of reinforced concrete, how much force can it be smashed like this?" “
Captain Bao said: "Not really! That night, when we were all asleep, the boy suddenly went crazy and drove his forklift into the pier, and the movement woke us all up. We ran out to see that the front of the forklift had been flattened, and the kid fainted in the cab, but fortunately there was nothing wrong. Our boss fired him, partly because he had violated discipline, but also because he was worried that he had mental problems. You say, how can anyone suddenly drive into a bridge pier! “
Xiao Wenlu suddenly asked, "Can you recall the day when he drove his car into the bridge pier?" “
Captain Bao replied dryly: "It was last week!" I don't remember just a few days? “
Xiao Wenlu touched his chin and groaned. Last week's incident, then it was before Gu Xiaoman was killed. Maybe Gu Xiaoman's death is related to the worker's collision with the bridge pier in the middle of the night, and finding the connection between the two can solve the mystery. He asked Captain Bao, "Can you tell me the name and address of this person?" “
Captain Bao said: "His name is Zhou Limin, and he lives in the suburbs not far from here. If you want to find him, you can go to his house, maybe he will be at home now! “
Xiao Wenlu copied the address of Zhou Limin's house, thanked Captain Bao, and drove towards Zhou Limin's house.
