Chapter 6: Murder on a Rainy Night (2)
Rewind the clock by half an hour.
Just when I caught up with Zhang Yang and they appeared on the edge of the bunker, on the other side of the camp, another "I" cut the throat of a guy and killed him, and "I" happened to be seen by this young guy in the process of committing the crime, and fortunately he was smart, although he was scared at the time, but he didn't make a noise, but even rolled and climbed to report Zhang Yang, but coincidentally, Zhang Yang took people out of the camp tent, and did not tell anyone where he was, so this young man was delayed for some time.
Although he swore an oath, it didn't seem like he was lying, but I had someone to testify, and my witnesses were all heavyweights, so my suspicions were quickly washed away, although the guy was still a little suspicious, but for his boss's words, he naturally believed 100%, so he didn't have too much hostility towards me, but he was very wary of me.
When our group arrived at the scene of the accident, the blood had seeped under the sand, and the body of the murdered man had been put into a body bag and ready to be buried on the spot.
I asked for an examination of the body because I thought it was strange, but Zhang Yang disagreed, he meant to end the matter quickly and concentrate on preparing for the next step.
A few young men dug a deep pit in three or two strokes, and everything was over in less than a few minutes.
Zhang Yang took the lead to leave the scene, and I was a little willful to stand in the place where the body was buried, for a moment, I wanted to dig him out with my bare hands, he was raised by his parents, and he couldn't just die so inexplicably, not to mention, this matter also involved me, because I didn't believe that the guy was wrong, no matter how good a person's acting skills were, there were flaws, but he couldn't find a trace of his performance from beginning to end, I believe that the face he saw was my face, but, Why would this murderer dress up like me to kill an ordinary person?
"If you don't leave, do you still want to continue to investigate?"
Grasshopper turned back alone, he stood beside me, "You're not an impulsive person, what happened tonight is just the beginning, you can't catch him." ”
I looked at him incredulously, and at that moment, I wanted to rush up and grab him by the collar to force him to tell him everything he knew, but reason and calmness stopped me, and I just looked at him intently.
"Why do you think I can't catch him, do you know who the murderer who pretended to be me is? You and Zhang Yang chose to settle the matter, could it be that you have something to do with that murderer?"
"Boss Xiao, your purpose is not to come here to help us investigate the case, don't waste time on things that have nothing to do with you."
He paused abruptly, then turned to face me, put his hand on my shoulder, and whispered, "Take care of yourself, don't be taken advantage of." ”
I listened to him say a lot of meaning, not only like to say that I went to Yunnan with Jiang Yuan, but also seemed to imply to me, this time, I am also likely to be the one who was calculated, after the gnats walked away, I turned to the place where the body was buried and bowed with my hands folded, and then turned around and ran over to make peace with Zhang Yang.
This back and forth was only about half an hour, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sand pit had dropped to a depth of two or three meters at the moment, and Zhang Yang made people turn on the lights, and under the strong light of this high-powered light, we could already vaguely see the roof of the car that had fallen into it before.
The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth smiled as he watched the fine sand on the edge of the roof of the car being washed away by the rain, and the exposed parts of the car became more and more, and suddenly looked at me and said, "Boss Xiao, tell me your opinion." ”
I took two steps to the pit with my umbrella, leaned down and said, "The car weighs about three tons, and now it is no longer sinking, which means that the quicksand layer here has reached the end, and in my opinion, as long as the rain does not stop, in another two or three hours, an oasis will be formed here, and then we will see something unexpected." ”
My words made Zhang Yang laugh again, I'm really strange about this person, is he born to laugh low?
The grasshopper added very seriously on the side: "This desert is the only place where it is a sinking quicksand layer, indicating that there was a flowing dark river in this area, which has repeatedly appeared for thousands of years, so it has formed a fixed quicksand layer, and this dark river suddenly dried up at a certain time, but the washed river channel and the geographical environment that has been formed cannot be changed, in my opinion, in two or three hours, an ancient river channel will be washed out here, as for this ancient river channel has nothing to do with the Guran Trade Road, We have to wait for the ancient river channel to appear before making a judgment. ”
Actually, it's not that I didn't expect what the grasshopper said, but I think it's incredible.
Zhang Yang put away the smile on his face, waved his hand, and immediately came up with two guys, and ordered: "Inform everyone, put on your equipment and bring all the lighting tools, and in three hours, we will set off." ”
The two of us were still standing on the edge of the sand pit and observing, the sand was washed away little by little, and the rain gradually merged into a small river, which was now flowing in a steady stream of sand to the ground in front of the sand pit, judging from its flow speed, it was really possible that there was an ancient river hidden underground.
I wore two layers of raincoat and an umbrella, and under such equipment, my clothes were still soaked, even my underwear was not spared, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to stick to my body.
Looking at Zhang Yang and the grasshoppers, they were dressed in camouflage clothes, and there were no extra clothes, and they didn't wear raincoats, but someone helped them hold umbrellas, but they were already soaked, but I couldn't see any expression on their faces, and looked at everything in the pit calmly.
We were all quietly waiting on the edge of the pit, and suddenly, a person came out of my side, and the man was about to jump down, but fortunately I reacted quickly and grabbed him, "Be careful." ”
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet almost slashed past the man's ear, startling me.
After the man was dragged up by me, he still wanted to jump down, I said in my heart whether this person was evil, and I was anxious that my hand was not light or heavy, so I dragged it over and pushed it to the other side, and the person fell to the sand, and I saw clearly that it was the driver.
I hurriedly went over and helped him up, "Brother, what are you doing, this underground is dangerous, you don't want to die." ”
The driver was so anxious that he pointed to the ring finger of his left hand and said, "My ring may have fallen on the car, you let me go down and take a look, isn't this car showing its head?" I'll look down from the skylight above. ”
Saying that I was about to rush down again, I immediately grabbed him and whispered: "Your ring is important or your life is important, don't make a fuss, you didn't hear the gunshot just now." ”
The driver was stunned, looked at Zhang Yang on the edge of the pit, and suddenly his face was ugly, and he said, "Did that young man shoot the gun?" ”
I said "um" and said, "Scared? Here, even if you really die, no one will pursue it, go back quickly, and as for your ring, I'll help you find it when we go down later. ”
The driver seemed to listen to me, nodded at me, and said, "Please, I'll be sure to find it." ”
I nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, go back to camp." ”
After the driver left, I returned to the edge of the pit, and Zhang Yang was still holding the gun at this time, looking at me sharply, "You are very familiar?" ”
I shook my head, "Not familiar, just a few words." ”
He suddenly sneered and instructed the people around him, "Give him the bill and send a car to take him back." ”
As soon as I heard it, my heart said that it was okay to go back, I don't know what to return to along the way, and it is better not to make money from this kind of play with his life for people like him.
