After the abbot's sixth fellow apprentice explained the whole thing, Wang Hai also called his remaining companions. As expected, they found the body of the abbot, who had been strangled to death, in the cauldron. They took the body and the murderer into their own police car and escorted them back together.
However, Wang Hai did not leave with those people, because he actually wanted to invite us out for dinner and even threatened to take me as his master, which put me in an awkward atmosphere for a while.
"Ji Wen, are all your special case teams so fast? Why didn't I think that the body was hidden in this cauldron? How did you find out? What was the opportunity that made you shift your attention to this cauldron?"
We originally planned to have a good time in Shaolin Temple, but now such a big thing happened in the temple, everyone is very busy, and I promised those tourists before that I would take them away from here, so we had to return along the same route. In short, this time when we came to Shaolin Temple, at best we just visited the Great Hall.
On the way back, Wang Hai was like a chicken with blood pumped up, constantly asking me questions, which made me feel overwhelmed. I thought to myself, "Didn't you listen carefully when I analyzed the case just now? I have already told you these things before, okay? Why are you asking me again?"
Although I answered Wang Hai's questions one by one, I was thinking about another thing in my mind at this time. Is this case really just like this? But what is the connection between the bus driver and this case? Why do I feel more and more uneasy the further I go down the mountain? What is it that I didn't notice that makes me feel so scared
When I was going up the mountain, I didn’t realize how long and difficult the road was. I only realized this when I was going down the mountain. I don’t know if it was because I was in a hurry to go back and see what happened that I didn’t notice or what. I wondered how I got up so easily when I came up
Finally, we finally arrived at the starting point of our trip to Shaolin Temple, which is in front of the Shaolin Temple mountain gate. I saw the familiar bus from a distance, but perhaps because of the cold weather, there was no one around the bus. Everyone was resting and waiting inside the bus.
As I walked towards the bus, I asked Wang Hai, "I asked you to find someone to investigate the bus driver. Have you done so?"
Wang Hai nodded and said, "If you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten. The colleague who helped deal with the body just now has already told me the results of the investigation. This bus driver seems to have some background."
I was stunned when I heard this, and immediately asked, "How did it come about?"
"My colleague called the company that this bus works for. This driver was parachuted into their company this month. It is said that he must have a very strong background because the benefits for bus drivers in their company are very high. It is basically a sought-after profession that people try their best to get into. However, this driver was able to parachute in and directly skip the internship and physical examination stages to become a formal employee in such a profession that is in short supply. Isn't this very impressive? I guess this driver might be a relative of a CEO of the transportation company."
If that's the case, then this bus driver does sound very important, so I asked again: "Are you sure he was parachuted into this transportation company this month?"
"Yes, of course it's confirmed. Generally, if a driver is successfully hired, he will be trained by an experienced driver for a period of time before he can start work. But this person skipped this stage and started working directly. That's why I paid special attention to this matter. I also heard that the entire transportation company was on vacation today, but this driver took the initiative to ask to go to work and wanted to work even without overtime pay. Don't you think this is crazy?"
This is definitely not a mental illness, but a premeditated plan!
If we want to come to Shaolin Temple from Dengfeng City, according to the current holiday situation, apart from taking a private car, we can only take a bus. Therefore, we will almost certainly take the bus driven by this bus driver, and this bus driver happened to apply for overtime during the period when the special case team received the Qiongqi express. Obviously, his purpose was to wait for our arrival!
Thinking of this, my steps immediately became a little hesitant, and Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei beside me naturally heard that something was wrong. Bai Longfei rolled up his sleeves and said to me seriously: "Ji Wen, do you want me to go over and beat that guy up so that he can tell the truth? Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to make him confess!"
Lin Yingxue seemed to agree with Bai Longfei's words, but Wang Hai looked puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
I stared at the seemingly normal bus in front of me, thinking about the driver's motives. In the end, I rejected Bai Longfei's idea and said to him, "Don't worry, let's leave here first. There are few people here. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous! Besides, if we catch the driver now, we won't be able to find anyone to take us away for the time being."
"So what do you think we should do?"
"Hold still. I don't believe he dares to do anything to us in front of so many people. When we return to Dengfeng City, the first thing we will do is to catch this driver and interrogate him to find out what his purpose is!"
Since the goal had been set, Bai Longfei didn't say anything else, and we all went to the bus together, opened the door, got on, and found seats to sit down.
The passengers were naturally surprised that we came back so quickly, and Wang Hai proudly repeated the story of how I had solved the case in an exaggerated way. The people he talked about were nothing, but it made me, the one who listened, feel a little embarrassed.
Listening to Wang Hai's vivid story, the people around were in high spirits and became excited. In this cheerful atmosphere, the feeling of palpitations in my heart became stronger and stronger. Lin Yingxue, who was sitting next to me, noticed that I didn't look well, so she asked me if I was feeling carsick. Then she stood up and prepared to ask those passengers for some motion sickness medicine for me.
I seemed to feel a little breathless and was about to open the car window to get some fresh air, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open the window next to me. It was as if the window had been sealed shut. However, just as I was about to stand up and try again, I suddenly discovered a familiar mark written in blood on the cushion on the back of the seat in front of me.
Y!
When I accidentally saw this sign, my whole body instantly became stiff, my heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the feeling of being out of breath became stronger! I immediately looked up at the bus driver in front of me, and saw that the bus driver was extremely pale at this time, and a trickle of blood had already flowed from his mouth, but he seemed to be completely indifferent, staring at me with his eyes, smiling sinisterly!
There is definitely something wrong with this car!
This was the only guess in my mind at this moment. I immediately stood up and said to Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei, "Take everyone out of the car immediately, quickly!"
Originally, the atmosphere was very harmonious, but when they heard my discordant voice, they all looked at me in confusion. Wang Hai asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Ji Wen, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad? Why are we getting off the car?"
"Stop talking crap! Get out of the car!"
I'm afraid I've never yelled so loudly in my life. Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue were also confused by my yelling. Wang Hai didn't have much contact with me, so he thought I was angry and stood up quickly and said, "Everyone get off the car with us immediately. This is an order!"
Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue and Pan An seemed to realize that something was wrong with me, but they immediately pulled the people next to them and hurriedly ran under the car.
"What are you doing? I finally got on the bus, why are you getting off again? I'm not going!" said one of the young female passengers.
"I think something seems to be wrong. Let's go down. They can't run away anyway. We can always leave here by following them." Another female passenger stood up and said while holding her luggage.
At this time, I had already hurriedly got off the bus, and those who got off with me included Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue, Pan An, Wang Hai, and five of the six passengers. Only the girl who was unwilling to get off the bus was still sitting comfortably in her seat.
"Didn't you hear me telling you to get off quickly? Brother Long, pull that driver out, there's something wrong with this car!"
Seeing that the girl was unwilling to get off the bus, I immediately shouted anxiously. Lin Yingxue walked directly into the bus, apparently preparing to use violence to pull the girl down. Bai Longfei, who was originally preparing to get on the bus with her, suddenly fixed his gaze in the direction of the bus driver with a look of shock in his eyes!
I immediately looked towards the bus driver and saw that there was more and more blood in his mouth, and his whole body showed a fanatical expression. He was holding something like a small remote control in his hand and grinning at us.
"Go to hell, Jiwen!"
"There's a bomb, everyone get back!"
When Bai Longfei saw the small remote control, he immediately opened his arms and shouted to the people around him. The people around him finally understood what was going on, turned around and ran away, even leaving behind the luggage in their hands.
I was originally preparing to leave quickly, but when I turned around, I saw Lin Yingxue, who was unaware of the situation, walking towards the car. I immediately rushed up and grabbed Lin Yingxue's clothes. I don't know where I got the strength from, but I actually pulled her into my arms and turned around to run away.
Just as I turned around, there was a deafening explosion behind me. I used up my last bit of strength to hug Lin Yingxue and rushed forward, protecting her under me and closing my eyes. I felt as if the whole world was filled with a huge buzzing sound, and my back seemed to be poked hard by something. The pain almost made me faint on the spot!
