Bureau of Special Cases Investigation

Chapter 71 [Last Train at Midnight]

The snow-white paper money, accompanied by the roar of the bus, whirled and fell down on this windless night, as if carrying a coffin at a funeral.

Nie Yan looked at the electronic screen and then at his watch. The time was right, and the bus left on time at 23:30:00.

"Buzz-buzz-hum" In this silent night, the phone suddenly vibrated three times.Nie Yan took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a Bluetooth connection request.

"Brother Nie Yan, Brother Mingyuan, this is the deceased's information and investigation report that Director Wang sent me by email just now, please receive it via Bluetooth." Su Yun sat in the middle by the window and waved her phone.

"Oh, okay." Nie Yan clicked the confirmation button for Bluetooth matching, and a dozen computer screenshots suddenly appeared in the photo album.

Select one of them, swipe the screen with two fingers, and found a line of small characters at the end. Nie Yan zoomed in on the screen and looked at the small characters in surprise.

The family members of the deceased heard the sound of the suona playing on the second day of the wake, and the eight characters were opposite to each other. It is very likely that they were raising the corpse—Tang Xiao.

"Raise a corpse?" Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the scenery outside the window.The current location belongs to the most mixed area in the urban area. Except for a few scattered people on the street, all the open shops have closed their iron rolling doors.

After another journey, at 23:45, the bus stopped at Qingshui City Electronic Information Park.

Qingshui City Electronic Information Park can be said to be the center of electronic product research and development in Qingshui City. Many companies engaged in software development and hardware development are stationed in the park.For the staff working here, it is normal to get off work in the early morning.

The front door of the bus opened, and two men with computer bags came up.One looked like a fresh out of college intern, and the other wore a plaid shirt and had messy hair and looked to be in his early thirties.

"Brother Dai, you say it's strange tonight. I couldn't get a taxi but waited for the bus. Usually there are no black cars at the gate of our park tonight." The young man threw four coins and sat in the back row The middle-aged man nodded and sat next to him without saying a word.

Qiu Mingyuan, who was sitting behind them, took a look at them, then closed his eyes, looking very sleepy.

"Xiao Li, the 2.3.1bet version was just released tonight. I hope the company can get through this difficult time." The man named Brother Dai sighed.

"Brother Dai, don't you think Party A is too deceptive? It's all an excuse. It's true that you don't want to sign the confirmation slip. We've been dragging the time, we've been working so hard, and the deposit hasn't been paid yet, so let's stay here What's the point here? If you want me to delete the APK released by the server directly, when will the confirmation form be signed and when will it be sent up." Xiao Li's voice is quite loud, young and energetic, full of confidence.Su Yun turned around and glanced at them, then turned back again.

"Keep down, we'll talk about it later when we have something to say." Brother Dai whispered.

"Buzz-hum" the phone vibrated twice, Nie Yan looked down, and somehow he was pulled into a group, and the group owner was Su Yun.Nie Yan sent a question mark, and soon received a reply from Su Yun.

'These two look fine. 'Su Yun.

'Maybe we get off work late, we'd better pretend not to know each other. 'Nie Yan.

'Sleep for a while, wake me up at the terminal.Good night.gif'Qiu Mingyuan.

Qiu Mingyuan posted an emoji, which surprised Nie Yan, because he couldn't tell that this kid was so bored.

After closing the car door, just as the car was about to start, he suddenly heard the sound of the window being slapped. Nie Yan was startled. Looking back, a woman's head appeared outside the window.It might be because of the sweltering weather, the woman's makeup was smudged on her face, her eyelids were black and purple, and the bright red lipstick paired with this pale face made her look extraordinarily frightening!

"Master, open the door." A delicate voice came, and Nie Yan was still amazed at how the woman was so tall and was at the same level as the car window. When she came up, he found that she was actually wearing ten centimeter high heels.

The woman took out the magnetic card from her bag and swiped it, bent over and sat in a seat in front of Su Yun.

Wearing high heels at such a height, it looks almost 1.9 meters.

'This woman is so scary, she actually puts on makeup like this in the middle of the night. 'Su Yun.

'Maybe it's not easy for workers in special industries, and they have to understand each other. 'Nie Yan.

"Zhu Yufeng, you didn't swipe the money into this card." Master Zhu said while driving the car.

"Understood, I'm looking for change, wait a minute, driver." The woman's accent was very strange, and she knew she was not a local.

After searching in the bag for a long time, the woman muttered why she couldn't find a piece of steel.Nie Yan took out two yuan from his wallet and paid for the woman.

In his view, modern society is all about electronic payments, and few people bring change. Women may be late from get off work, have too late to recharge their bus cards, and cannot find change, so they are reluctant to come here.

"Young man, thank you." The woman grinned happily when she saw that someone had paid the bus fare for her.The bright red lipstick looked like a bloody mouth in this dark environment.The woman rummaged through her bag again, found a small card, walked up to Nie Yan and handed it to him, then walked back and sat down.

"Young man, come to my sister's place to work when you have time, and my sister will definitely let you..." Nie Yan ignored the latter words and looked at the card in his hand.

Jinying Bath Center, No. [-] technician Zhu Yufeng.

'Okay, Brother Nie Yan!Peach blossoms are flooding, when will you find me a sister-in-law. 'Su Yun.

'...'Nie Yan.

Is it a coincidence that the last name is Zhu and the driver's master?Wait, the driver seemed to call her by her name just now, did he know her?Nie Yan pretended to lower his head to play with his mobile phone, and inadvertently glanced at Zhu Yufeng, and saw that she was holding a small mirror, holding lipstick in front of the mirror, and applying layer after layer.That weird expression doesn't look like a fake out of self-indulgence.

The bus drove in an orderly manner, and no one spoke in the car, basically everyone was doing their own things.Some were playing with their phones with their heads down, some were resting with earphones and eyes closed, but Zhu Yufeng, who was sitting in front of Su Yun, was still grinning at the mirror.

The No. [-] Middle School of Qingshui City is very close to the information park, only three traffic lights away.

At 23:55, bus No. 944 slowly drove towards the platform.It's so late, it's impossible for anyone to get on the bus at this station, but according to the latest regulations on bus travel, even if there is no one on the platform, you have to stop at the platform and wait for about 1 minute.

The car door opened slowly, and while waiting, Master Zhu opened the thermos and took a sip of water.

Tick ​​tock, Nie Yan looked at his watch. When the second hand was about to turn to three o'clock, a middle school student with a schoolbag stood in front of the door at some point.

The student is not tall, about 1.5 meters tall, thin and small, with long bangs covering his eyes, short shoulder-length hair, and Qingshui City No. [-] Middle School written on the chest of his school uniform.

"Little sister, why are you alone? What about your family?" Nie Yan stood up and walked to the little girl, leaning over and asking.

"At home." The girl lowered her head, Nie Yan couldn't see her eyes clearly at all.The bangs are too long, and the parents are really serious, letting the child come back alone at such a late hour.

"Why did you come out so late? Isn't school dismissed at six o'clock in the afternoon?" Nie Yan asked.

"In the toilet." The girl said.

"?"

"I was locked in the toilet. It was the security patrolling uncle who found me." The girl lowered her head, swiped her student card, bypassed Nie Yan, and sat in the seat near the rear door where Su Yun was sitting before.

Locked in the toilet?School bullying? !This was Nie Yan's first reaction.When I wanted to ask in the past, I saw that Su Yun had sat in front of the girl at some point, turned around and handed her a piece of candy, saying:

"My sister only has mints in her bag, do you want to try it?"

The girl shook her head, holding her schoolbag and lowering her head.

"Little sister, what's your name? It's too late, do you want my sister to take you back?" Su Yun said.

The girl still bowed her head and said nothing.Su Yun originally wanted to touch the girl's forehead, to push back her thick bangs to see if she was crying, but the girl's hand knocked her aside.

Under the bangs, those eyes full of hatred and red bloodshot made Su Yun stand up abruptly, and the faint feeling of touch between her fingers was not at all the temperature that a normal person should have, like the temperature just taken from the refrigerator freezer. The meat that came out was as cold and stiff.

Su Yun's heart beat fast. She knew that the trip was not as simple as she imagined, so she withdrew her hand and sat back in her seat.

Nie Yan sent three messages in the group, but she didn't reply.Just looking at my fingers, I don't know what to think.

The bus was still moving, got on a suspension bridge across the river, and crossed a small road.Willow trees were densely planted on both sides of the path, tick tock, drop after drop of raindrops hit the windows, and the windows creaked with the wind blowing one after another.

Nie Yan looked out the window. It was obviously hot and humid before crossing the bridge. Why did it start to rain as soon as we got here?He remembered that the weather forecast showed no rain today.

The willow tree was blown by the wind, crumbling, and the branches were like ghost hands hitting the window one after another, making a pata pata sound.

Vaguely, intermittent voices came from the front.Yiyi Yaya ups and downs, this is the sound of suona!

Nie Yan quickly got up and stood in front of the windshield of the car. Before he could stand still, Master Zhu stepped on the brakes, causing him to shake twice. Fortunately, he didn't fall down while holding on to the handrail.

"Amitabha, Amitabha!" Master Zhu turned pale with fright, holding the steering wheel with trembling hands and reciting scriptures.

"What happened!" The young man named Xiao Li in the back seat suddenly woke up after being braked.

"Good luck! Put the car back! Back up!" Master Zhu's eyes widened in horror. Nie Yan stood still and saw clearly what was in front of him, scaring the driver like this.

In front of the platform of Xiangtan Park, four people in white linen clothes were standing in the middle of the road blowing the suona, and behind them, an old lady in a shroud was squatting on the ground, burning paper money.

The continuous drizzle did not put out the fire, but it burned more and more.The sound of the suona stopped abruptly, and the four people in sackcloth and filial piety stared at the No. 944 bus.
