"Lin Min, it's time to get up... Lin Min..."

It was Meng Yingjiu's voice, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Meng Yingjiu standing in front of the bed. I asked him, "What time is it?" ”

"It's half past six. You get up and pack up, and we'll go back to Chongqing by car." ”

"Okay." I stretched and rolled over, Meng Yingjiu gave me my clothes, and then closed the door and went out.

In 10 minutes, I was ready. We left a note for Zou Zhou on the coffee table and left.

On summer mornings, the sun comes out very early. When I went downstairs and looked back at the old building, I realized that it wasn't really scary.

Meng Yingjiu and I bought steamed buns and soy milk at a roadside breakfast stall, and rushed to the station after eating, fortunately catching the bus at 7 o'clock.

After sitting in the car, I looked out the window, and I always wanted to talk to Meng Yingjiu about something, in fact, I still had a lot of questions about him. For example, the wound on his arm, and...... A lot of questions, but I don't know where to start, and I'm afraid he won't tell me anything.

Meng Yingjiu suddenly said to me, "Lin Min." ”

I turned my head to look at him, "Huh? ”

"Can you stop getting involved in these things that don't concern you in the future?"

But that's what my job is, to find out the truth, and I say, "I just want to know the truth." And didn't you say that I could call you together in the future, and you could protect me? ”

"I hope you can always be like this... Freely. When you know a lot of things, you can't do as much as you want now. ”

I didn't quite understand what he meant, "Are you talking about Zou Zhou's family secret?" Are you afraid that I will be targeted by the Chen family? ”

Meng Yingjiu looked at me and said after a long time, "Hmm." ”

"I don't know why they tricked me into going there, but they shouldn't want to...... And with you, I'm not afraid. ”

"I'm afraid, and I can't protect you."

Hearing him say that, I was a little scared. It's not that I'm afraid of the Chen family, but I'm afraid that Meng Yingjiu will say that he can't protect me. How could he not protect me? Unless he doesn't want to protect me anymore.

I asked him, "How can you not protect me?" ”

Meng Yingjiu asked me, "Have you met anyone else in the ghost cave?" ”

Others? In the ghost cave, just a few of us! And perverts and tomb robbers, and...? Suddenly remembered a terrifying person.

I said, "In addition to you and the perverts and tomb robbers, I have also seen a horrible human face!" And the nightmare later was to dream of being chased and killed by him. ”

"Terrifying faces? Do you remember what he looked like? ”

"Look? He appeared in front of me out of nowhere, and I looked at it and fell down. Actually, I don't know what it looks like, it's just terrifying, because his face is miserable and white, and we thought I was a ghost at the time. ”

"Don't you still dream of him? What does he look like in the dream? ”

"It's also a miserable white face that suddenly appeared, but I really can't remember what he looks like, and I don't know why, in my dream I think he's the person I saw in the ghost cave."

"Where did you see him?"

"That's ......," I said, lowering my voice, "I saw him in the cave of the Bat King, and we were about to climb out of the cave, and he suddenly appeared and scared us back." ”

Meng Yingjiu kept thinking, and I was desperately trying to recall what that face looked like. The strange thing is that I usually read countless people and never forget them, why can't I remember him now?

"Ahh Another characteristic reminds me.

"Do you remember anything?"

"When he showed up, we smelled a scent."

"Scent?" Meng Yingjiu began to think again.

The only thing I care about now is that he says he's afraid he won't be able to protect me. I said to him, "I believe in you. ”

Meng Yingjiu turned his head to look at me. I said, "I'm sure you can protect me, and I'll protect you." So, I promise you won't meddle anymore, okay? ”

Meng Yingjiu said: "Okay. ”

At this time, my phone rang, I picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Zhang. I picked it up and said, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, are you up so early?" ”

"Isn't this a child who gets up early? I called to ask if you are back today? ”

"Of course, I'm in the car right now. By the way, Old Man Zheng didn't say anything yesterday, right? ”

"You're lucky, he didn't come himself yesterday afternoon, so he didn't even know you were out."

I was in a good mood in an instant, and now I didn't even have to think about the story, and I said, "Great."

"Alright, I'm going to get busy, goodbye!"

"Yes, see you at the office!"

After hanging up the phone, I excitedly said to Meng Yingjiu: "Great, our editor-in-chief didn't know that I ran out yesterday." ”

I had already guessed that he would answer just one: "Oh. So I continued to ask him, "Did you delay your business when you came here to find me yesterday?" ”

"Nope."

"You... Found the person you're looking for? ”

"It's almost there."

"Soon?"

"The car is going to drive for a while, you can take a break."

"Okay!" After saying that, I took his hand and rested my head on his shoulder. I looked out the window and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”“

"Okay."

"Me too, with you, I don't have nightmares."

Relying on Meng Yingjiu is always very reassuring, and Old Man Zheng has no worries there, I looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the car window, and gradually fell asleep.

After arriving in Chongqing, Meng Yingjiu woke me up. Because there were some traffic jams on the road, it was already 8:40 after arriving in Chongqing. After getting off the train, Meng Yingjiu and I parted, he said that he was going to confirm some things, and I took the subway to report back to the society.

met Sister Liu who came to work at the door of the newspaper office, and went in with her. On the way, Sister Liu told me that Sun Mingkang had been diagnosed with intermittent mental disorder and had been sent to Geyueshan Psychiatric Hospital because there was no one to take care of him.

I said, "That's... Is there a result of that case now? ”

Sister Liu shook her head and said, "No." ”

After separating from Sister Liu, I returned to the office and sat in my chair, feeling like I was in a different world, as if the last time I sat here was 10 years ago.

When I was sighing in my heart, Xiao Zhang also came to the office, and he showed a surprised expression when he saw me. I hurriedly told him to keep a low profile, and when he sat down, he asked me as usual, "So early?" How's it going to be yesterday? ”

I looked at him, smiled and said, "Not good." ”

Xiao Zhang stretched out his head and whispered, "What the hell is going on?" My Detective. ”

"It's just that the missing high school student was found."

"Not bad! Did you guess it? ”

As I guessed, their family does have secrets, but it's completely in two directions. I shook my head and said, "Actually, it's a high school student who rebels in adolescence and wants to be free, so he goes out and goes out on his own. Luckily, I spoke to his good friend and he told us where he was, so we found him. ”

"That's not bad! It's rewarding. ”

"Generally speaking, I plan to make a column on modern people's pressure with this, don't worry, I will be ranked after you, first come, first come."

"That's what we're talking about, but of course I'm before you." Xiao Zhang smiled and continued: "

Have you reported to Old Man Zheng? ”

"Yes. He thought it was okay. ”

While chatting with Xiao Zhang, I finished reading the newspaper and began to read the news on the Internet. Open the browser, look at the tab above, and remember something that hasn't been done yet, wasn't I reading the official blog of "Unknown" magazine before?

With that in mind, I opened the webpage and continued to look for the Unknown magazine report on the ghost cave.
