"It's almost eight o'clock, why did you come here at this time? Where's Tao Juanjuan?" Chi Yan asked while looking at the photos and case files brought by Song Jin.
"Juanjuan is on the night shift today. I just sent her over and came to you on the way. I'll go home to sleep in a while, just to pick up Juanjuan from get off work tomorrow morning and send her home to work again." Song Jin said, "This case I just reported to the city. My master assigned it to me and asked me to see if I had any features. I researched for a long time and didn't find anything, but I thought it was very evil, so I thought I'd bring it over for you to see. ."
Chi Yan gave a "tsk", put down the photo in his hand, and looked up at his friend: "I'm not a professional, how can I understand this?"
"Don't you know how to do Taoism?" Song Jin smiled "don't be humble" and pointed to the photo, "I saw this kind of magic on TV in other people's novels, looking at a photo of a person, You can figure out the whereabouts of this person by holding the objects that this person has used. I just thought... what if you did."
Speaking of which, he pulled his hair embarrassedly, and he felt that this idea was a little unreliable. Friends may have the ability to drive away those things, but they may not be able to use such spells that I don't know if they really exist.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yan nodded and affirmed: "The kind I use is not a Taoist technique, but I do know that there are related techniques, and there are people who can make it, but unfortunately I don't." The law is not very advanced, there are many people in the Chi family who know it, but he cannot be regarded as a "Chi family".
While speaking, he hesitated to read the description of the case again, and frowned slightly: "Da Song, is this case urgent?"
"Urgent," Song Jin nodded, "after all, it is related to the lives of the five people. Now they don't know their life or death at all. If they are in danger, they will have a better chance of being rescued sooner. And this is me. The first case with a bit of technical content that Master handed me, I want to finish it and let him see it."
Chi Yan nodded: "It is written that Zhu Hui's family runs a small shop in Fengshui. In order not to delay business, they drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to Qingyao Town after closing the door at seven o'clock in the evening on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It was to visit his wife Liu Qingfeng's family. After the 16th day of the first month, he went to the county to pick up the goods and then returned to Fengshui. The neighbors of Zhu Hui's family and Liu Qingfeng's mother's family all said the same thing. If all goes well, the three Zhu Hui family should be at night. Arrived at Liu Qingfeng's mother's house around ten o'clock, but they never showed up. Liu Qingfeng's brother couldn't contact them. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, he waited for a day. On the 17th, he went to Fengshui Town early to ask questions. let's go."
"So the two responsible police officers from Pinggu County judged that they were missing on the road from Fengshui to Qingyao Town, but during the day they searched for clues along the way and did not find any valuable information. After being troubled for a week, they It was decided to also start a search along the way at 7pm, hoping to find some clues that were easy to miss or ignore during the day... As a result, the two officers also disappeared."
"Then there may be some problems with this departure time."
"That's right." Song Jin ruffled her hair irritably, "I know this too. Juanjuan will rest from the day shift tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm planning to go to my work unit tomorrow to talk to my master and go to Fengshui Town to see if there is anything. Clues, if you can't, just wait until seven o'clock in the evening and walk the road to Qingyao Town."
He cursed secretly, "I still don't believe there are ghosts."
Chi Yan looked at him calmly: "It's a ghost, you've seen it before."
Song Jin raised his head to look at him, his face turned blue, and said resentfully, "ruler!"
Chi Yan smiled: "It's alright, don't be nervous. I just have nothing to do these two days. When I tell my grandfather, I will go with you tomorrow."
Song Jin was naturally overjoyed at the news, and agreed to pick him up after coming out of the unit tomorrow.
There are quick-frozen dumplings, ham sausages, canned food and other fast food at home. Grandpa can eat it simply after processing. Tao Juanjuan can also deliver meals to grandpa when she is resting the day after tomorrow. Grandpa said that he is still in good health and that he has no problem taking care of his own life, even if he does not come back for ten days and a half months after the feast
At ten o'clock the next day, Song Jin came to Chi Yan's house to pick him up, and arrived at Fengshui Town at twelve o'clock noon. A police officer surnamed Li in Fengshui Town received them and directed the two to go to the canteen in Zhu Hui's house to have a look, and chatted with the surrounding neighbors. The information they got was not different from what was written in the case. .
The three visited the town for a noon, and rode a motorcycle back and forth between the two towns of Fengshui and Qingyao, but they still found no more clues.
When we returned to Fengshui Town, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Chi Yan looked at his phone: "Let's have dinner first. Let's go over after seven o'clock to take a look."
The police officer surnamed Li was obviously a little scared after hearing this, and sneered at the two of them: "I should get off work at some point. I don't think I can accompany you two at night. Can you see?"
Song Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Is there anything wrong with that road at night?"
The police officer surnamed Li rubbed his hands uneasily and hesitated: "There's nothing wrong, that is, five people have disappeared since the beginning of the first month, and the other two are my colleagues. Although we don't believe this, we feel a little bit in our hearts. Fat, no one dares to walk that way at night now."
Chi Yan remembered one thing: "Hasn't this happened before? What about the other people who went from Fengshui Town to Qingyao Town at night? They never got lost? Only Zhu Hui's family and the two who tracked down their disappearance. The policeman disappeared?"
Police officer surnamed Li said: "We also walked that road in the afternoon, and the two of you have already seen it. It's very biased. The car you drive can't get in at all. The road from Fengshui to Qingyao is open to traffic. It's not this. At the beginning, Zhu Hui's family used this road to go over the mountain for the sake of speed. Usually this road is rarely used by people. I have never heard of such a thing before. According to Zhu Hui's neighbors, Zhu Hui's family I've walked this road before, and I've taken them there, and it's never happened."
Song Jin nodded and told the police officer to go back. He only continued to use the two motorcycles they rode in the afternoon, saying that they would return it after they came back.
The two waited in Fengshui Town until seven o'clock in the evening and began to ride along the mountain path. At this time, it was only mid-March, and it was cold in spring in the north, and the weather was not warm, especially after the sun went down. The spring equinox has not yet arrived, and it is getting dark early. It is already dark at this time, and the headlights in front of the motorcycle can only illuminate the road ahead.
The two of them were not riding fast, and while riding, they used a flashlight to observe the situation on both sides of the road. Song Jin looked to the left, and Chi Yan looked to the right.
After riding for more than two hours, the mountain gradually became foggy, and the vision became even more unclear. Chi Yan closed the jacket on his body, shivered, and turned to Song Jin and said, "Da Song, it's too cold, and it's too cold. I can't see clearly, no, let's go back, or ride to Qingyao Town to rest, and then come back tomorrow."
Song Jin ignored him, but looked straight to the left. After a long while, he spoke, and pointed a flashlight at a place: "ruler, do you see something over there?"
Chi Yan looked in the direction the flashlight beam pointed. The mountains were dark, with only the shadows of ghostly trees and chaotic vegetation. There was a small earth ditch under a tree, and a red thing could be vaguely seen by the light of a flashlight.
Somewhat familiar. It seems to be a corner of Zhu Hui's three-wheeled motorcycle seen in the photo.
Song Jin nodded to Chi Yan, rolled over and got out of the car, parked the motorcycle on the same road, and walked there by himself. Chi Yan also followed.
As it got closer, it could be clearly identified that it was Zhu Hui's three-wheeled motorcycle without the fog blocking it. The entire body was turned over in a ditch, but the surroundings were clean and there were no scattered items.
Song Jin squatted on the ground and took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the tricycle. While taking pictures, he analyzed with his friends: "It should be because the motorcycle went into the ditch because of a problem on the road, but it doesn't look like there were casualties. Zhu Hui The family is going to visit relatives and then buy goods, and there is not much luggage with them, and it looks like they have all been taken away."
"The three of them can't get out of the car, so they must go to someone for help, but it will take three or four hours to walk back to Fengshui Town from here, and it will take one or two hours to reach Qingyao Town. They walked to Qingyao Town. ?" Song Jin put away the phone after taking the photo, and analyzed it while talking.
"No." Chi Yan shook the flashlight and motioned for his friends to look at their feet, "Look here, there are traces of people walking by, and traces of motorcycles running over."
Song Jin followed his feet and looked into the distance. There was obviously a fork in the road. It was a path that only two people could pass through. During the day they hadn't spotted the tricycle, nor had they noticed that there was still a road.
He squatted down again and looked at the marks on the grass: "Yes, it is the rut of the motorcycle, it should have been left not long ago. The two police officers should have also discovered the tricycle, and then discovered this road, So I went down this road to track down."
Chi Yan felt a little strange in her heart. The front was dark and cold, and there were no signs of human settlements or fireworks. It is understandable that the two police officers walked along this road in order to investigate the whereabouts of Zhu Hui’s family. Why did Zhu Hui’s family choose to follow this remote path and did not know where the end point would lead to when they came here. Go forward instead of going back to Fengshui or to Qingyao along their familiar path
He felt a little cold, he couldn't help shivering, and he tightened his clothes again, even more so. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was already 9:30 in the evening. The mobile phone had no signal and could not receive the network.
Chi Yan turned to Song Jin: "Da Song, it's too late today, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. It will take an hour to ride faster when you go back. Remember this position and make a mark. Let's come back tomorrow."
Song Jin also took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said unwillingly, "Let's take a look now, in case we can't find any clues during the day tomorrow. It's half past nine, let's ride along this road to four Fifteen, if there is no clue, go back."
