The Longtan Canyon Scenic Area in Shun'an County is a very famous scenic area in Manjiang. I heard about it when I was very young, and I have been there twice. But at that time Shun'an County was still called Wanxian, which meant perfection.
Probably when I was in junior high school, Wanxian was changed to the current Shun'an County, which means smooth and safe.
There are two reasons for the name change: one is that the county has transferred from the central government a leader with a strong background, who is said to be a descendant of Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty. In order to commemorate his ancestor Wang Mang, he just changed Wanxian to Shun'an.
There is also a saying that the name Wanxian is not good. The word "wan" means "finished" and "finished", so I changed the name to a smooth and auspicious name, which is smooth and safe.
As for the real reason for the name change, it is estimated that only the upper-level politicians will know. However, many people didn't buy it for the name change. They said that since the name was changed, the sky is no longer blue, the water is no longer green, the dark and evil forces have emerged, and the good places have become notorious.
Of course, the name change of the county has nothing to do with the ghost car incident. I just remembered it for a while, just say a few words.
After leaving Zhang Ling's office, I went back to the funeral parlor. In winter, the sun is short, just after five o'clock, and the sky is a bit dark. Many shops in Triangle Town have closed.
When I saw Big Eye, I told Zhang Ling that Zhang Ling had accepted a case of investigating the mysterious disappearance of a population, hoping that we could help and promised a remuneration of 40,000 yuan.
I was very happy when I heard that there was business, and asked what kind of case it was. I recounted the ghost car in detail again.
The so-called details are just to tell Zhang Ling's weird things about ghost cars. In fact, we don't know many specific details.
For example, we don’t know how many men and women were missing, when and how they went missing, and what the hearse looked like.
The reason I don't know is that Zhang Ling is conducting a private investigation and has not obtained more relevant information. Therefore, many details require us to investigate on the spot.
The next morning, we drove into the car with Zhang Ling and rushed to Longtan Scenic Area together.
As soon as winter comes in the northern scenic spots, the trees are bald, the grass is yellow, and the water freezes. It is basically nothing to see, so it is windy in winter.
Almost all the scenic spots are closed, and there are no people at all.
When he arrived at the scenic spot, Zhang Ling immediately contacted the relevant person in charge of the scenic spot, and didn't know what identity she used. Anyway, the person in charge of the scenic spot knew our intentions and was very enthusiastic about us, and there was a little respect in the enthusiasm.
After a polite greeting, the person in charge found the person in charge of Guangguan Car in the scenic spot. After a brief introduction, we learned that the other party's surname was Qiu, and we called him Master Qiu.
Master Qiu is 43 years old this year. He is not tall and looks pretty honest. After a few simple conversations, he learned that he has been working in the scenic spot for six years.
Under the leadership of Master Qiu, we drove around the scenic spot for five or six minutes, and arrived at the place where the Guangguan car was stored.
The sightseeing cars in the scenic area are light green, the kind with carriages, and there are many advertisements on the car body. More than 30 Guangguan cars are neatly placed in the parking lot, which is quite spectacular.
There are also a few bungalows on the side of the parking lot, and two people can be seen warming up around the coal stove and chatting.
After stopping the car and getting off the car, Master Qiu said, "The haunted car is not here. We can drive and watch the car in the warehouse in Houshan."
Zhang Ling said: "Yes, we listen to your arrangements."
Master Qiu entered the house to get the car keys. Two people around the coal stove were talking to Master Qiu and looked at us. I'm probably asking, what do we do.
Soon, Master Qiu took out the car keys, and we followed him into the car. The Guangguan car is electric and has eight seats. Sitting in the sightseeing car and watching the snowy scenery of the mountains and plains, people can't help but sigh the whiteness and flawlessness of the world.
I opened the car window and the wind was not cold at all on my face, on the contrary, it was very pleasant.
I said, "Master Qiu, besides ghost cars, are there other weird incidents happening in the scenic spot?"
"No. Our scenic spot has not had an accident in the past five years, and it has also been rated as a national safety demonstration unit."
"When did the haunted car happen?"
"It started seven years ago. In half a year, 10 people were missing. 4 drivers and 6 passengers. Everyone said that the car could lead to the underworld. It was a ghost car because it was too weird. Just sealed up that car and never used it again. There was a new one in the scenic area during the period.
The incumbent leader found the car during the inspection and wanted to deal with the ghost car, but on the way back to the office, he disappeared and fell into the ravine and fell to his death. From then on, no one dared to touch that car anymore. "
"How did the driver and passenger disappear?"
"I don't know the specifics. I didn't come to the scenic spot yet. But I heard people say that they disappeared at night. How can I say that if I drive that car at a certain time in the evening, it will drive the car to the underworld. After the car drove out of the underworld, the people sitting in the car stayed in the underworld."
"Some time ago, two people also came to investigate this matter, do you know?"
"I know, I was also responsible for the reception at the time."
Big eyes asked: "How did they disappear?"
Master Qiu looked back at us and said, "I don't know exactly how it disappeared. They stayed in the scenic spot for three days. The car hadn't been driven for several years, and the parts in many places were aging. They spent two days. Fix the car. On the third night, they wanted to drive around the scenic spot. I advised them not to drive, but they didn’t listen and something went wrong.”
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
Master Qiu took a breath and said, "The day they asked me to lead the way, I drove a Guangguan car to lead the way around the scenic spot, and finally we reached the top of the mountain and we went around for about two hours in the middle. It was normal in the middle. Nothing happened. It was late at the top of the mountain, so we drove down the mountain. When I came down the mountain, I drove faster and got to the bottom of the mountain first. Seeing that they hadn’t come down, I waited for them at the foot of the mountain. I saw them before they got off the mountain, so I wanted to go back and look for them. As soon as I was about to get in the car, I saw the car coming down from the mountain. I hurriedly walked over to look at them, only to find that there was no one in the car. "
I was stunned and said, "You mean there was no one in the car, but the car drove down the mountain by itself?"
"Yes, yes. Can you imagine what a driverless car would look like? It was so scary, I was paralyzed on the spot, and I didn't know what I left afterwards."
I turned my head to look at Zhang Ling and saw that she was frowning and writing this in her notebook. I didn't know how she felt after listening to Master Qiu's words.
