Chapter 69: Departure
Zhang Yang's car had not yet driven onto the national highway when he suddenly received a call from Tian Jianjun. Tian Xin had woken up yesterday afternoon, but Tian Jianjun and others were busy handling the case, leaving her to rest in the hospital ward alone.
According to the hospital's surveillance, Tian Xin left the ward around 2 a.m. From the surveillance video, it seems that Tian Xin is very conscious, and deliberately tries to avoid the camera.
"When Tian Xin woke up, he said that he was going to look for you. After leaving the hospital, she has completely disappeared, if you have any news from there, please contact us in time. Zhang Yang said.
It can be heard that although Zhang Yang is in a hurry, he doesn't think that Tian Xin will really come to us. He only tried to tell us the news, and he was in a hurry to get back to Seaside City.
"Don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as I have news. You should hurry back and look around Seaside City. I said in a deep voice.
Tian Xin woke up very weak, and he left the hospital at two or three o'clock in the morning, so it was unlikely that he would go far away. I don't think she left the hospital in the middle of the night to come to me, and our friendship wasn't deep enough.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai muttered casually: "Qin Xue is estimated to be still at the police station, and the black cat has been solved, Tian Xin shouldn't be in any danger, right?" ”
"What danger can there be? With Tian Jianjun's ability, it is possible to turn over Haibin City, and she can't lose it. This sentence seems to be comforting Xiaobai, and it seems to be comforting myself.
Xiahe Village stands next to the river, this river is called the Red River, which is a tributary of the Huai River. This river may be difficult to find on the map, but it is the mother river of countless villages along the river.
Thanks to the river's abundant water volume and unusually stable flow, there have been no droughts affecting the crop harvest in recent decades, and there have been almost no floods.
It is said that there has been only one flood along the Red River in more than 100 years, and that was more than 40 years ago. It's been so long that people of my age have barely heard of it.
"Found it! Judging from the map, Shanghe Village is not far from here. Xiaobai carefully studied the map on his phone and said in a relaxed tone.
I was relieved to hear him say that. If the distance is not far, the task of burying the ashes of the grandfather in the ancestral grave of the Chen family should not be too difficult.
After all, strictly speaking, Shanghe Village has disappeared. I'm really afraid that it will be difficult to find the location of Shanghe Village with just one address, and I am even more afraid that Shanghe Village is too far away and will cost us a lot of trouble.
I've never been far away, and I'm quite familiar with the nearby villages of Shili and Ba. If it is far away, it will definitely add many difficulties and delay the ashes of grandpa to be buried in time.
"Show me it." I took Xiaobai's phone casually.
When I saw the picture clearly, I suddenly had black lines on my head, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: "Xiaobai, this is what you call not far away?" ”
Xiaobai didn't realize how stupid he was, and nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's not far away." ”
I put my hand on my forehead, completely disappointed in Xiaobai. Ya's good is also in school, can't you even read the scale?
Even if you don't know how to look at the scale, you can compare the names of places on the map, right? The location of Shanghe Village is almost half the distance between Xiahe Village and Haibin City, but the direction of the two places is different.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. However, I roughly calculated that Xiahe Village is already considered the lower reaches of the Red River, and Shanghe Village is almost located at the source of the Red River, and the distance between the two places is about 100 kilometers.
"A hundred kilometers? It doesn't look that far away. Xiaobai, who knew the truth, was stunned.
I really want to slap him in the face, it doesn't look that far away? Nima, zoom out on the map, it's only a few centimeters, isn't that closer?
Xiaobai probably noticed that my face was not very good, and explained hesitantly: "It's only more than 100 kilometers, and it takes two or three hours to drive." ”
I really didn't bother to talk to him, so I turned my head and discussed it with Da Meng. After both of us researched, we found the right spot on the map, and it might be a bit of a hassle just to rush through.
"There are no cars in the village, and the tractor will definitely not work, so why don't you ride my motorcycle?" Da Meng asked in a low voice.
Xiao Bai saw the opportunity to interject: "Riding a motorcycle? That's okay, Shanghe Village is too far away. It's really not the right time for Zhang Yang to leave, why don't you call him back? ”
I glanced at Xiaobai and shook my head helplessly: "Okay, don't interrupt, Zhang Yang has something to do, don't delay others." If you can't do it, just ride a motorcycle. ”
It's not easy to find a car from us, and we have to carry our grandfather's ashes with us, and ordinary cars are definitely not willing to carry them. Fortunately, we are now only carrying an urn, not a coffin, and a motorcycle is not impossible.
I used to ride motorcycles a lot, I rode faster, and the speed was no worse than that of a car. Motorcycles are more agile and maneuverable than cars.
It's not a big city, and the road conditions are not going to be much better. When the time comes to walk the country road, the advantage of the motorcycle comes out.
When it comes to motorcycles, you have to ask for a big bang for this. He has a ready-made motorcycle at home, and with the relationship between the two of us, it is not a problem to borrow it for a day or two.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as I opened my mouth, my eyes widened violently, and my face gradually became ugly. He sighed deeply and patted his head with his large, rough hands.
"Well, how did I forget this stubble? Don't worry, I'll borrow one for you now. "Da Meng was depressed.
Something is clearly wrong with him, I've known him for so many years, and I don't know his temper yet? If it wasn't for something, he would definitely lend me the motorcycle without saying a word.
After some inquiry, Da Meng explained a few words. It turned out that his motorcycle had been lost, and even the tens of thousands of dollars he had saved in the past few years had been lost to his wife.
I have to blame for the incident, I didn't think about it that much when Da Meng and I parted last night. I just think that it is enough for him to send back the body of his co-worker, and then help Zhang Luo to settle the funeral.
Unexpectedly, the family of his co-worker directly relied on Da Meng, not that Da Meng killed the deceased. In desperation, Da Meng lost the motorcycle and lost 40,000 yuan, and the matter was settled.
"Damn, isn't that bullying? Da Meng, Fanzi's friend is my friend, go, Brother Xiaobai will take you to bring things back! Xiaobai exploded at that time, and roared indignantly.
Da Meng made a bitter face: "Forget it, you can't blame others." ”
In fact, Da Meng is also a tall and strong, sturdy-looking man. But he has a bit of a cowardly personality, and he just wants to calm things down, and he doesn't want to make things stiff.
Otherwise, how can Xiaobai stand up for him. It is estimated that as long as Da Meng has a flat face and says a few cruel words, the other party will immediately be cowardly.
I sighed, "Okay, don't mess with it. Xiaobai, we are also responsible for this matter, and it is indeed no wonder that others. ”
"What responsibility can there be? We didn't kill people, it's a big deal to call the police, and the police can prove our innocence. Xiaobai muttered.
I shook my head helplessly, that's not how things worked. People have worked so hard and died so inexplicably, and no one will want to leave it alone.
Yes, the police may clear us and prove that the cause of death of the deceased has nothing to do with us. But if you want to make it clear that the deceased was scared to death by ghosts, who can accept this explanation for ordinary people?
The reason for this is that the black cat created the sin, and the black cat was attracted by us. Although we did not kill people, we also have an unshirkable responsibility.
"What are you calling the police? If you lose money, you lose money, and we lose money. However, this compensation must not let the big storm come out. After a moment of thought, I came up with an idea.
It really doesn't make much sense to call the police, and you don't pay attention to these things in the countryside. Losing tens of thousands of dollars will not hurt my muscles and bones, although it can't make up for anything, but it can also make the family of the deceased feel at ease.
I immediately rushed to the neighboring village with Da Meng and paid for the redemption of Da Meng's motorcycle. After paying a total of more than 50,000 yuan, the family of the deceased finally agreed to settle the matter.
When I was about to pay back Da Meng's 40,000 yuan, he refused to accept it alive and said that he owed me his life. With his solid eyes, no matter how much I persuaded him, I could only put the money away for the time being and compensate him when I returned.
After all this, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Walking in our village, there are still no people going out, only occasionally meet two or three old people who greet us warmly, and at the same time sigh a few words for grandpa.
Grandpa told the old branch secretary before that before I left, it was best for the whole village not to go out. Grandpa's original intention was to avoid any accidents and accidentally injure the villagers.
The old branch secretary was too cautious, and told the villagers not to go out in broad daylight. With the prestige of the old branch secretary, naturally no one sings against him.
As for the old people I met, in their words, they were all buried to their necks, what do they care about so much? If you should come out for a walk, you don't have to worry about being blamed by the old branch secretary.
"Fanzi, I'll go with you!" Before leaving, Da Meng said suddenly.
Looking at his expression, it was as if he had made up his mind. According to my original plan, I wasn't going to take him with me, it was enough for me and Xiaobai to go.
Xiaobai looked at Da Meng very puzzled: "What are you doing with us?" Afraid we won't return your motorcycle? ”
This sentence is just a joke, Xiaobai feels that Da Meng is sincere, this kind of character has a temper towards him, and he has regarded Da Meng as a friend, and occasionally makes a joke.
Da Meng was a little anxious, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that...... I, I just wanted to go with you guys and see if there was anything I could do to help. ”
Xiaobai smiled: "What can you do?" We'll be back soon, you just have to wait at home. When you're done, Brother Xiaobai will take you to Seaside City. ”
"But......" Da Meng's face turned red, and he wanted to explain something.
I smiled and waved my hand, interrupting him: "A motorcycle, the two of us ride just right, Da Meng, you are waiting at home." ”
I know what Da Meng means, but he still feels like he owes me his life and always wants to do me a favor or something. But I'm sending my grandfather's ashes to be buried, so there's really no need to take so many people there.
If all goes well, we'll be back overnight. If it really doesn't go well, no matter what happens, there will be more danger with Dameng.
I didn't give Da Meng time to react, and after saying that, I left with a fire. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, Kawamura was left behind in the blink of an eye.
Xiaobai in the back seat muttered in a low voice: "Da Meng, that fool, chased him to the entrance of the village, and waved goodbye to us." ”
