Chapter VI. Look for clues
??????? Gao Luochao said?" Before my wife got a weird illness? I went to the funeral of an elder in a friend's family. It is said that the atmosphere at that time was weird? My wife was most likely on that day. Something happened! ”
I said?" Let's talk about the specifics. ”
Gao Luo Chaodao. "My wife was going to the suburbs at the time? Because not long after the old man died? Maybe it's just a day apart? So after my wife heard about it? Are you going to go to that friend's? Stuff her with some money. ”
My mind is moving? Dao?" Is this friend still in Dalian?"
Gao Luochao shook his head? Dao?" I don't know. I call that person? She turned it off. I can't find anyone. ”
I said?" So how do you know about that?"
Gao Luochao said? I call the people in my wife's circle of friends one by one? Later, a kind-hearted woman told me. Originally, she didn't want to talk about it? Because it's more evil. But seeing my wife like this now? Does she feel bad? So wanted to help us. ”
I thought about it? Road. "This woman was with your wife, right?"
Gao Luochao nodded? Dao?" Be! But when the two of them went that day? Planning to stuff some money after you go and then have a casual chat? Coming back soon? Won't it take more than 4 hours to go back and forth? But my wife left the house around 6 a.m. that morning. Didn't come back until 10 o'clock in the evening? I remember asking her at the time? Why did you come back so late. Chrysanthemum said something happened halfway? It's not a big deal, though. I didn't ask any more questions. ”
I said?" So you know what happened now?"
Gao Luochao said?" Not sure about the specifics? But according to that friend of Chrysanthemum? When the two of them stuffed money for Liu Xi'er. Hear a sudden chaotic sound coming from behind the mourning hall? Like what happened in the mourning hall? Many locals rushed over to see. Later, the two girls of Chrysanthemum also ran over with the crowd? What did you see as a result? Chrysanthemum, that friend doesn't know? Because it was so chaotic at the time? Chrysanthemum's friend is relatively timid? So I didn't walk into the mourning hall at that time? Just standing outside and watching the excitement come. ”
I see?" Other words? At that time, only Chrysanthemum entered the mourning hall alone? Isn't it?"
"Yes!"
"And then? Your wife spent a long time in the mourning hall at that time? Right?"
"Yes!"
"Is your wife's friend just standing outside waiting all the time?"
Gao Luochao said?" I didn't ask about that. Anyway, when they came back from Liu Xi'er's house? It was about 10 hours later than originally planned. What has my wife seen in the past 10 hours? Mr. Jiang? Do you think this is going to be a clue?"
I said?" Very possibly! So we have to hurry? Go to Liu Xi'er's house now? Let's see if we can catch anything! ”
"Now?" Gao Luochao was stunned? Then there was a sad face?" But my wife's current situation is inseparable from people. And I just said that? Liu Xier's phone keeps turning off? No one can be found at all! ”
I thought about it? Dao?" If that's the case? Then I can go myself. You just wait here for my news. Call at any time if there is any situation! ”
Gao Luochao showed a touched expression? But soon said? How embarrassing that is! Mr. Jiang? I owe you quite a lot. ”
I said?" I said help you? It will definitely help to the end! Anyway, you're waiting for my news here? Remember if there is any new change in your wife's condition? Call me now! ”
I don't wait for Gao Luochao to answer? Just take out a small amount of cash and stuff it into his hand? Dao?" Remember to eat a good meal. For your wife? You also need to take care of your body first! ”
Finished? I inquired in detail about the approximate area where Liu Xier's family lives? Studied driving directions for a while? I was going to drive myself. Before leaving, Gao Luochao gave me a family heirloom jade pendant to ward off evil spirits? Looks good? Should there be some value? But I didn't? For the ghosts and gods? I've always disliked people? I only believe that there are some things that depend on my own judgment and perseverance? Brave to face it? In the end, we can find out the truth of the whole thing.
Next? Do I follow the navigation guidelines in the car? Along the way, I drove at a speed of about 80 miles to Liu Xier's home. Is that a fairly remote place? Basically close to the countryside? What if you get there from the hospital? It takes more than an hour to say anything. So I'm on double flashing lights? Keep pressing the accelerator to accelerate. Got a lot of cars along the way? was also scolded by a small number of hot-tempered drivers? But I can't care about that anymore? It only took about 40 minutes to come to the vicinity of Liu Xi'er's home.
At this moment? Looking at the time? It's almost 5 p.m.? Didn't sleep all night yesterday? Haven't eaten much during the day today? But I didn't feel hungry or sleepy at all? After getting out of the car, he began to ask people in the neighborhood where Liu Xi'er's family lived. Do your best to find it.
How do you know that no one wants to tell me after asking for a long time? It's not "I don't know" or "I just moved here?" You go and ask someone else to see it." After that, he left without looking back. Even if I take out the extremely special identification that the T team gave me before? Tell those people I'm a police officer? Or are they just a little more friendly? But when answering questions, they are all the answers.
I feel as if the three words "Liu Xier" have become a local taboo? But the more they have this attitude? The more I think things are likely to be in the right direction?80 likely? That's where Chrysanthemum got into trouble? But what exactly happened to Chrysanthemum? I don't know yet.
Squatting in place and smoking a cigarette? I came up with a solution? Walk back into the car and open the hand pick on the passenger seat? There are some snacks that Little Colorful put in? Chocolate and some candies or something? Do I take those snacks out? Put it in your pocket. And then constantly wandering around the neighborhood? Hoping to meet a few kids? Inquire about some useful news.
I don't know how long it has been? I finally saw a few children struggling on a dirt road. I walked over and talked to them? And then take the snacks out and want to give them to them? But I didn't expect these children to ask for snacks in my hands? Instead, they all ran away in an instant. While running? Still scolding me while turning around? Call me a weird uncle? Tempt them with small treats.
I can't help but sigh at the development of network technology now? Such a young child already knows what a strange uncle is. It seems that I am simplifying the current children's thinking? What if it had been 10 years ago? Chances are I was successful? But now in this day and age? Surely the children listen to their parents? Don't ask for things from strangers? So I quickly understood? It's even harder to get the news out of your child's mouth.
Got another cigarette while standing still? And then I ate the chocolate and sweets? Give yourself some energy. Just when I don't know what to do next? I see three people with hoes, shovels, shovels, shovels and other things? With a sneaky look, he walked towards a dense forest to the east.
I had already carefully studied the map of the neighborhood when I first arrived? So I know after walking through this woods? Behind is a field of buds? Walk a mile or so along the bud field? Have a temple? How old is the temple? Judging from the information found on the Internet? It seems that no one has gone anymore? Are the authorities trying to tear it down and rebuild it? So I think it's supposed to be a very desolate area? If anyone wants to make some small moves there? Undoubtedly a great location.
Why do I want to go next? Determined to follow these people? Is it because I saw one of them walking? Quickly pulled his hand into his pocket? And then he took out a red cord or something? Looked? Pinched? It quickly put it back in his pocket. When he finished that action? The expression on his face had obviously changed from sneaky and flustered to a lot more stable.
Generally speaking? What are the habits of certain people in certain regions? Going to a funeral home or mass grave or something? Kicking this kind of red cord in your pocket? I vaguely wonder where these people are going? Could it be related to Liu Xi'er's disappearance and Bao Chrysanthemum's strange illness? So wait for them to go a little farther? I followed slowly and quietly.
Luckily they walk very fast? Sure enough, after they passed through the woods? Go straight to the ruined temple.
And at this time? I'm still in the back, one foot deep and one foot shallow. By this time, it was almost dark. I saw a few of them walk straight into the ruined temple? Not long? I tiptoed along? And at this time? I smell a weird smell in my nose? Floating out of the ruined temple!
I sniffed hard? It smells like something strange is burning with fire!
