Please Close Your Eyes At Night

Chapter 40: A moment of life and death

Views:

The driver was a young guy with an unremarkable appearance, the kind of guy who wouldn't be noticed when thrown into a crowd. After I got in the car, I didn't speak, and started the car silently.

I'm also not a talkative person, especially with strangers, so I didn't pay too much attention to his anomalies at first.

On the way to Longcheng Community, I accidentally caught a glimpse of this taxi without the driver's name tag on the trunk, and I couldn't help but wonder.

It stands to reason that there will be a driver's name card on the storage box of every taxi to facilitate passengers' supervision or complaints, but there is no one in this taxi

Is it a black rental? But shouldn't it be better to put a name tag on the black rental to make it fake

"Master, what's your surname?" With all kinds of doubts, I suddenly asked, staring at the driver's expression through the rearview mirror.

A face that is not good-looking, a paralyzed expression without joy and sorrow, but the pair of dark pupils and the corners of the eyebrows, but the indifference that strangers should not be close to.

"The last name is Liu!" Even in the face of my questioning, the driver remained as expressionless as before.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Master Liu." I laughed dryly, "Master Liu's accent doesn't sound like a local?"

"Yeah." The driver cherished his words like gold, obviously he didn't want to talk to me.

"I wonder where Master Liu's hometown is?"

"City B."

"Wow! So far?" I looked surprised.

The driver didn't make a sound, and let me babble incessantly.

I didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, and pointed to the front: "Master Liu, why is there no name plate on your car? Is the current system of the taxi company so lax?"

Although the driver's face still did not fluctuate in expression, I clearly caught the fleeting hesitation in his eyes: "It was accidentally damaged a few days ago, and I haven't had time to replace it."

"That's it." I smiled knowingly.

This driver is definitely weird. He drives a taxi. I dare not say that everyone is chatty, but he will never be as indifferent as the one in front of him.

This is the first time I've seen a taxi driver who cherishes words like gold, and his voice sounds familiar to me. I stared at him through the rear-view mirror for a long time and couldn't see why.

Lei Bao was shot to death, I was also attacked by an unknown killer, and at this time I encountered such a weird driver, which had to make me suspicious.

Immediately, I calmed down again. Since I want to play, the young master will accompany them to the end. I want to see which song they sing at this time.

"Master Liu, I haven't had a good rest in the past two days. I'll take a nap for a while, and call me when I get there."

The driver replied lightly: "Okay."

"Thank you in advance." I put my arms around my chest, leaned back on the chair, and closed my eyes in enjoyment.

Although I thought this driver was weird, I wasn't entirely sure if he was with the previous killer, so I closed my eyes and slept to see if he would attack me.

Maybe I was suspicious, until the car drove into Longcheng District, and the driver didn't do anything else.

But I always feel that something is wrong? Because this driver is really weird and suspicious.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind, and I finally knew why this voice sounded so familiar. Recalling the scene at the door of Shilixiang last night, the voice of the drunk man who bumped into me flashed in my mind: "Fucking blind!"

Although I passed by in a hurry last night, I didn't see the appearance of the drunk young man clearly, but the voice was definitely not wrong! I suddenly opened my eyes and stared at the driver who seemed to be driving seriously through the rearview mirror.

"Master Liu, why didn't the guards stop you when you entered the community?"

The driver said without any hesitation, "I also live in this community."

"Oh—really?" I stretched my voice deliberately, "Even if you live in this community, how do you know which unit building I'm going to?"

"I see that Mr. has not woken up just now, and was about to wake you up and ask."

"Hehe... Really?" I lengthened my voice deliberately, "Did we meet last night?"

There was a trace of waves in the driver's calm eyes, but he still said calmly: "Mr. may have misremembered, I didn't see you at all last night."

"Do you want me to help you remember?"

"Sir wants to say it, but I'm sure I didn't see Mr. last night."

I picked the corner of my mouth and said faintly: "Last night... at the entrance of Shilixiang..."

"Where is Shilixiang? I don't even know what you're talking about, sir!"

I cursed in my heart, this kid is really a dead duck, and he can still pretend to be serious in front of the young master.

I suddenly smiled evilly and said, "I'm very curious, last night Zhang Yating led me to Shilixiang, and you happened to show up at the door of Shilixiang and stole my wallet, what was your intention? If you want to get any information from me, don't have to be so troublesome, I will tell you directly."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

While talking, the car had slowly stopped. The driver unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car first, and walked towards the first unit building.

Could it be that I broke it down and wanted to escape

Before I could think about it, I quickly opened the door and followed him, shouting at him from behind, "Master Liu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

The driver paused, turned around and said to me, "I suddenly have a stomachache. My family lives in this building, so I need to go to the toilet first."

After that, the driver entered the building without looking back.

I was just about to chase him when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared from a parked van not far away. It was Li Meilin.

"Luo Chao, what happened to the driver?" Li Meilin asked me suspiciously, and came to me in a few steps.

"Why are you here?" I frowned, confused.

"Zhang Yating lives in this building, don't you know?"

"What!" I instantly changed my face. The driver didn't know if Zhang Yating knew me for a while, and he just rushed in. What did he want to do

"No, Zhang Yating may be in danger, let's chase it!"

Li Meilin grabbed me and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"The taxi driver just now may have been..."

Before I could finish my sentence, the taxi behind me suddenly exploded with a "boom", like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and with the power of thunder, the fire all over the sky illuminated the surrounding darkness.

At the moment of life and death, my mind went blank, but my body instinctively threw Li Meilin to the ground and protected her with flesh and blood.
