The so-called ghost shops are not shops for ghosts, but those shops that start to open after dark and are always open in the morning.

Because it opens and closes at dawn after dark, it just goes against the work and rest time of ordinary people, so some people who don't know what is going on think that this kind of store is not a business for living people, so they call it a ghost shop with false rumors.

In fact, this kind of shop is a very ordinary snack bar, selling some affordable simple meals, and the customer base is mainly night taxi drivers, mixed with other people who need to have supper in the middle of the night.

Regardless of whether the cooking is good or not, such snack bars have a common feature, that is, hygiene, because taxi drivers have to stay in the car for a long time, and they are most afraid that eating bad stomach will affect their business, so they can keep their stores for many years, and hygiene is very particular.

Since I followed Li Kan, my schedule has been reversed a lot, so the ghost shop has become a place that we frequent.

There is a ghost shop near Li Kan's house, the name is simple and straightforward, it is called "Taxi Fast Food", which is run by the husband and wife, because both of them are from Hubei, so the taste of stir-fried food is not bad, but the kung fu of making noodles is not flattering.

Li Kan and I asked for a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of edamame, rice and dried tofu, and a plate of cold cucumber slices, and he ordered six bottles of beer, all of which were opened and placed in two rows on our table.

I said that if I lose money, I won't borrow wine to drown my sorrows, why should I go to the construction site when I get drunk?

He said he wasn't going anywhere tonight, and that the construction site was in this place.

As soon as 12 o'clock passed, taxis stopped at the door one after another, and it was a good time for drivers to have supper.

Li Kan put a set of disposable paper cups and a bottle of cold beer, and I asked him what he was doing, and he said to talk to these masters.

This is really a time to play his strengths, although he is not familiar with every table, he can find a topic, whether it is football, or about the business of driving, or just a drink.

Some people say that I can't drink while driving, and he says what is a glass of beer, and you can't detect it if you blow the detector out.

Anyway, he just walked back and forth between several tables, the drivers came and went, changing and changing, Li Kan could talk to every group of people, unconsciously drank up six bottles of beer, and let the boss serve six bottles.

I waited and stared boredly at the TV until the whistle for Croatia vs Denmark and I realised it was two o'clock in the morning.

There were a lot fewer masters for supper than just now, Li Kan sent the last one away, sat back with a smile, and while watching the ball game, he told me that he had almost figured it out.

I was confused and asked him what he had figured out.

He told me that since this incident was so popular in the taxi circle, and the driver took a photo, it was better to ask these people to see if there were any real sightings of the ghost bus.

Not to mention, it doesn't matter if you inquire about it, it really makes Li Kan ask a lot of things.

Although none of the drivers who came here for dinner today have actually seen the ghost bus, they have heard various versions of the rumors from the taxi call radio.

What's more, he also said that a colleague from one of his companies or a close friend had witnessed the car.

According to them, this ghost bus does not turn on the interior lights, does not drive the headlights, and does not turn on the LED screen at the front of the car to display information, only a few small lights that show width.

At each stop, the arrival information will be broadcast in the car, and the doors will be opened and closed, and nothing can be seen, but it seems that someone is getting up and down.

If you meet the car from the opposite side, you can see the driver driving, but you can't see the appearance clearly, and you drive with your head down, as if you are drunk.

The truth of these rumors is beyond the veracity, but as I listened to it, I couldn't help but feel creepy, and I didn't turn on the headlights, and I drove with my head down, can a living person drive like this?

Li Kan said that according to the popular analysis in the taxi industry, this bus should be the No. 43 bus that had an accident last year.

There is a river in Chengyang City that runs through the city, the river is deep and fast, at that time the car was full of a carload of people, I don't know what happened, I hit the guardrail and plunged into the river.

Before the car fell off the bridge, the driver jumped out of the car with a quick eye. In the end, except for him, all the passengers in the car were drowned, and the car was scrapped.

I heard that in the end, the driver was arrested by the police, and it seems that he was sentenced.

Those who drowned in the river could not be reborn, so these ghosts returned, and they wandered around at midnight, and whoever got on the bus by mistake was pulled as a stand-in.

I have an impression of the 43 road, because there is a 43 bus station near my home, and sometimes I will go there to wait for the bus.

I said, "It looks like this ghost bus is real."

Li Kan didn't nod or shake his head, just took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to me.

I saw that he opened a Baidu map on his phone, and the locations in it were very familiar, and it was a map of the urban area of Chengyang City.

He made a dozen markers on the map with red-headed sticks, and he pointed to them for me to show and asked me if I could see anything.

I looked at it for a long time, and the addresses marked were either far away or some near, scattered all over the city, and it seemed that there was no pattern.

I swiped my hand across the screen and tried to connect them with lines to see if I could connect them into one word. It doesn't seem to be a very solid idea.

I complained to Li Kan, saying that what you are targeting, it is a mess, and I don't see any clue.

He suddenly patted his head, said "oh", said he forgot, and then asked the phone back, clicked it on it with his hand, made it for a long time, and then handed it back to me for me to see for myself.

I saw that the markings on my phone had him delete a lot, and there were probably only five or six left.

Chengyang Central Hospital.

The Second People's Hospital of Chengyang City.

Chengyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Chengyang Desheng Hospital.

……

It dawned on me that these were all bus stops, and they were all stops at the entrance of the hospital.

Li Kan said, yes, I marked all the places where people saw the ghost bus appear, but when someone saw it, the bus was running on the road, and when someone saw it, it just stopped at the stop.

I forgot to sift through it when I gave it to you, and now I've deleted all the addresses I saw on the road, leaving only the ones it parked at.

I don't quite understand, usually buses have their own fixed routes, 43 stops I also know, these hospitals are distributed in different places, not part of a line at all, what does this car mean, how to pick up the run?

Li Kan said "um" and said that my thinking is still relatively right, and I can continue to think about it deeply.

I was in a hurry, so I asked Li Kan to stop selling it, and quickly tell me what was going on.

He pretended to smile mysteriously, telling me not to rush to ask the result first, to follow him with questions, to see and think more, to do our business, in addition to knowing witchcraft skills, sometimes it is similar to the police solving cases, and you have to know a little bit of deduction and induction.

After listening to Li Kan say this, it was inconvenient for me to ask anything, so I could only follow him to reveal the truth little by little with a learning attitude.

In fact, I don't care, I am more concerned about whether this matter is handled well or not, and whether I can receive the money smoothly, after all, repaying the debt is the most realistic thing in front of me.

If this matter can be successfully resolved, with the old ambiguous relationship between him and the female manager, and it is a public unit, it is estimated that he will not treat us badly in terms of money.

I was muttering in my heart, and suddenly I heard Li Kan scolding my mother again.

On TV, Brazil and Belgium played 1-2 and Neymar went home.

I said, aren't you buying an underdog? This time you earned it.

Li Kan angrily said that for him, Brazil is the underdog.

The sweat on my forehead was dripping down, and I couldn't laugh or cry.

Today he lost two games in a row, so I took the initiative to settle the account, which was to appease him.

After working for most of the night, he had no intention of going back to rest, saying that he slept upside down during the day, and he couldn't sleep when he went back at this time, so it was better to go to the street for a walk.

Anyway, I wasn't sleepy, and it was almost dawn, so I just walked around with him a few times.

Finally, the two of them had breakfast before going home to rest.

When I woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day, Li Kan warmed up some leftover lo-mei from watching the ball in the kitchen, steamed the pot of rice, and the two of us had dinner with beer.

I asked him what his plans were for today, and he said he was fine now, and that we would drive out together at night.

The two of us were bored watching TV and waiting for time, and then Li Kan was bored and wasting air conditioning at home, so he simply pulled me downstairs to McDonald's and asked for two drinks, and watched the girl pass the time while drinking.

At about ten o'clock, Li Kan looked at his watch and said that it was almost over, and the two of us drove on the Elantra and hit the road.

On the way, Li Kan asked me to pay attention to it, and once there was a bus with no lights on, I would tell him.

Only then did I realize that he was going to play real tonight, and he came directly to find the ghost bus.

I complained about why he didn't speak up earlier, so that he could prepare some magic weapons or something, so that he could defend himself if he encountered it.

Li Kan smiled and said that he didn't need it today, just drove to take a look, and said that he basically already had the answer in his heart, and he just needed to confirm it.

After listening to his words, I put my mind at ease and followed him to drive around the city, going through all the hospitals marked and unmarked on the Baidu map, and I didn't see the shadow of the ghost car.

At about eleven o'clock, the car turned back to the entrance of the central hospital at the departure point, and we were so tired that we decided to stop and smoke a cigarette.

Li Kan took out his mobile phone and opened the match between Russia and Croatia, this game is a Slavic derby, I sighed to Li Kan while watching, Croatia has a population of 4 million and football is so good, so many of us are stunned and the more we play, the worse it gets.

When the ball was being kicked excitingly, Li Kan suddenly stabbed me with his hand and said "Look at it."

I followed his finger and saw an intersection not far away, turning left past a white and green bus, with the LEDs and interior lights turned off.

The two of us glanced at each other and shouted at the same time, chase!
