The two hit it off.
Team Zhang smiled, "Are you going to Nanmu too?"
Bai Muchuan hooked his lips slowly, and handed him a cigarette, "We've all walked together, don't you know?"
This rhetorical question, absolutely.
Team Zhang was slightly embarrassed, but regained his composure in an instant.
"So that car is yours?"
Bai Muchuan smiled, "What else?"
Team Zhang scratched his forehead and said with a heck, "I thought it was someone from the secret door who was following me, so I deliberately threw it away at the entrance of the ramp—"
This answer, too.
Bai Muchuan looked at him, smiled lightly, and helped Team Zhang light the cigarette.
The two men looked at each other, and no one said more about it.
"How far is it from here to Nanmu?"
"We're probably a third of the way there."
"Oh, that's coming soon."
"No, this section of road is easy to walk. After getting off the highway, the road will be difficult to walk."
Hearing Team Zhang say this, Bai Muchuan looked up at the sky, "I don't know if it will be dark or not?"
Team Zhang looked into his eyes, then followed his gaze to the sky, "Not necessarily, it depends on luck."
Seeing the term luck, Bai Muchuan hadn't fully realized it when he was in the service area.
After all, it was his first time to come to this line, but Team Zhang was very familiar with it.
When they got off the expressway, drove onto the national road, then changed to a provincial road, and then entered the county road, he would know what it means to be a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people are desolate, and the road is rough...
It's not that I haven't seen a land of poverty.
But those who are as poor as Nanmu area are rare in today's rapid social development.
The most frightening thing was that when they first entered a place called Pingxing County in the Nanmu area, they got a piece of news.
"The road from Pingxing to Nanmu has collapsed."
collapse.
This is a bad start.
Entering the Nanmu area, the weather has turned cooler and the altitude has gradually increased.
In this ghostly place with no village in front and no shops in the back, the road has collapsed, what can we do
Bai Muchuan asked Sailimu, "Is your hometown far from here?"
Sailimu: "It's not too far. It's just over a hundred kilometers, right?"
Bai Muchuan: "..."
Sailimu smiled, and looked for the route with the navigation map, "Bai team, ten kilometers away from here, there is a place called Jiangzhong, which is a big town in Pingxing. I have heard of it since I was very young. It is a prosperous place." It's very good... Shall we go there and find a place to eat first?"
This way, the schedule is too rushed.
Everyone just ate casually in the service area.
Bai Muchuan was silent for a moment, "Is there any other way to Nanmu?"
Sailimu scratched his head, "Yes, but it will take a few hours longer than this road, and it may be more difficult to walk—"
Bai Muchuan: "Then let's take a detour."
The emergency repair of the landslide road took more than a few hours.
Instead of spending time waiting, find another way to get in.
Sai Muli: "...Okay. However, even if the Bai team takes a detour to Nanmu, they still have to pass through Jiangzhong Town. Before this road was built, all vehicles going to and from the river went through the middle of the river. Later, the government built this road , there are fewer people going that way.”
Bai Muchuan glanced at him and frowned.
"Then we'll have dinner there."
"Row."
At this time, the driver had been replaced by Tu Liang.
He is not only an experienced old detective, but also drives very steadily on mountain roads. Tang Yuanchu, who is in the co-driver, is full of praise for his cool driving skills.
"I just found out today, what is an old driver!"
Tu Liang stared straight ahead, "You're not bad, young man."
"Hey!" Tang Yuanchu smiled, and suddenly turned to look at Bai Muchuan, "Boss, do you think those guys from West Market are in front of us or behind us?"
When I came out of the service area, I saw no one.
Bai Muchuan couldn't answer this question.
Tang Yuanchu added: "I think they are a little too sensitive about the secret door case. You say, can't we help? Anyway, everyone jointly handled the case, and finally solved the case. They also deserve the credit. Why are you so wary of us..."
Bai Muchuan was silent.
For Tang Yuanchu, this issue was complicated.
But he knew that the stakes were too great.
The secret door has actually been active here for a long time. Even if there is no tricks between them, there will inevitably be some things that they don't want others to intervene...
Serious Case No. 1 is from Kyoto and belongs to the vertical jurisdiction unit. In their eyes, it is a mysterious department with great authority. It is inevitable that they will not guess—is it to check the secret door, or to check them
"That's society."
"Okay. I get it."
"Understood? What do you understand?"
"I was a kid, not very social."
"..."
Everyone was speechless to Tang Yuanchu.
Among the lofty mountains, the cars circled and circled, and they were as insignificant as ants against the backdrop of the mountains.
This road is really not easy to walk.
On the road, there are very few vehicles.
Every time the car is transferred, Tu Liang will be careful and slow down the speed of the car.
As a result, it was already dark when they arrived in Jiangzhong Town.
The weather in the mountains is quite magical. In Pingxing, the sky was high and the clouds were white. When we arrived in the middle of the river, it started to rain.
Earlier, Sailimu said that Jiangzhong Town is the largest town nearby.
Moreover, "prosperous" is also used to describe it.
Originally, Xiang Wan was full of hope, thinking that he could see an ancient town in the mountains, with delicious food, beautiful scenery, local characteristics, and some unique and interesting things...
As a result, the car drove in from the town and did not see a decent restaurant, so she had to re-examine the meaning of "biggest and prosperous" in Sailimu's mouth.
The town is too dilapidated, and the houses in the town don't know what age they are.
At this point, there are few pedestrians on the rainy street, and almost no cars pass by.
Occasionally, a few people standing under the eaves or walking on the street will look nervously at this luxurious commercial vehicle.
Xiang Wan leaned against the car window and asked strangely, "Are they repelling outsiders? Why do I feel... the way we look in our eyes is not right?"
"Yes." Bai Muchuan: "People in Nanmu area are very xenophobic."
Xiang Wan sighed.
She thought of the introduction on the Internet.
Low level of education, uncivilized areas.
Moreover, most of the people here have the habit of "smoking and selling", and it is also an area with a high incidence of AIDS.
Over the years, the government has spent a lot of effort in education, transformation, running schools, and providing assistance to bring them advanced civilization, and their lives have gradually improved. twisted
"Boss!"
Tang Yuanchu called out.
As if he had picked up a treasure, he pointed to the dazzling light in the rain and fog ahead.
"There's an inn there!"
River Inn! The words flashed on the bright light box in the stirrup.
It's called an inn, that's right!
In a place as big as Jiangzhong Town, the lights in many houses are like will-o'-the-wisps, gray and covered by rain and fog, making it almost impossible to see clearly. And this Jiangzhong Inn, a western-style five-story antique building, is simply like the "Dubai Burj Al Arab" in this place, which is extremely eye-catching.
"Wow! The lights are so bright!"
Sailimu cried out.
He seemed very happy to hear his voice.
"Our small town of Nanmu already has such a big inn."
It's big again!
The appearance of Jiangzhong Inn is indeed very modern, but when it comes to the word "big", it's really unacceptable!
Yearning to look at him, couldn't help laughing.
Sailimu was still shouting: "Did you see it? There is also a row of red lanterns. It looks so joyful and beautiful!"
Who doesn't say that our hometown is good
Seeing how happy he was, everyone couldn't bear to hit him, and just laughed along.
"Let's rest here tonight."
"It's not safe to walk on the mountain road at night."
"Yeah! Why don't you take a good bath, get some sleep, and fight again tomorrow."
Everyone, what you said and what I said made sense.
Bai Muchuan nodded, "Okay, here we go."
The task of going to Nanmu cannot be solved in a day or two.
There is no need to brave the rain and enter the mountain blindly in the middle of the night. Unfamiliar road conditions are prone to accidents.
As soon as the commercial vehicle stopped, the proprietress opened an umbrella and came out to look.
Tu Liang stretched out his head and shouted, "Boss, is there any room?"
"Ouch! There are some. Wait a minute, I'll get you umbrellas!"
In this small town, there are not many people who can spend in this inn. Foreigners generally take the county road before the landslide, and rarely go around the river. muzzle.
Quan Shaoteng leaned on Bai Muchuan's seat again, and smiled lazily: "Xiaobai, this proprietress is really warm and lecherous... No, she is so hospitable!"
Bai Muchuan gave him a cold look.
"Yeah, who made you look good, Fifth Quan? Why don't you change the rent?"
"Don't mind me! Don't everyone say you are handsome?"
While the two were talking, the proprietress came over with an umbrella.
Xiang Wan brought an umbrella in her bag and didn't use her umbrella, so she said thank you and walked past her with Bai Muchuan.
The proprietress looked at her, then at Bai Muchuan, startled, then squinted her eyes and smiled, following the crowd.
"I don't know when it will rain? It's right for you to stay here for one night."
"Yes!" Tu Liang stood in front of the eaves, shaking the rain from the umbrella, and looked at the dark sky.
The proprietress took a look at him, went into the room and called the little girl at the front desk, "Hello!"
After finishing speaking, she came back and asked Tu Liang: "Are you visiting relatives in the river, or...?"
Tu Liang looked sideways coldly, "Are you asking too much?"
The proprietress smiled awkwardly, but Tu Liang softened his face and smiled meaningfully.
"We're here for business."
"Oh, it's good to do business, it's good to do business!" The proprietress smiled and said, "Of the ten who come to Jiangzhong, eight out of ten are doing business."
"hehe!"
Tu Liang went in with a smile.
…
The lobby area of the inn is small.
Bai Muchuan, Xiang Wan, and Quan Shaoteng sat on the sofa.
It was raining outside, but inside the house was very quiet.
Tu Liang opened seven rooms, and then asked the girl at the front desk.
"Can I have a meal?"
"Yes! It will be a little slower." The little girl has a good attitude, "Here is the menu, sir, please take a look first."
"Ok."
Tu Liang took the menu and walked to Bai Muchuan.
He lowered his head, pointed to the name of the dish on the menu, and whispered, "There is a problem with the inn!"
