Special Case Investigation Team IV

After finishing the call, Lao Zhong asked, "What dark river? Who jumped off the building?"

Beifeng explained the matter succinctly.

Old Zhong said: "That means Xiao Liu fell into the dark river and drowned?"

Beifeng said: "Maybe."

Old Zhong said: "Then we have to find a way to find that dark river, Dabai may be nearby." Dabai is their missing colleague. "The target person may be there as well."

But the river is not known how many meters underground, unless the mountain range is removed, no one knows where the dark river is.

Cheng Jin said: "Is it possible for the local people nearby to know?"

Bei Feng said: "You can ask. Tell the Heavenly Master about this first, maybe he has a way."

Cheng Jin thought to himself, how would the Celestial Master find the underground river?Could it be that his eyes have other functions besides seeing people differently from ordinary people?

Beifeng contacted He Yijia by satellite phone and told him about the situation here.

He Yijia seemed to be in good condition, and his voice sounded very relaxed. He answered, "Oh, so... looking for the dark river... Well, it seems that I have to meet the folks here first. Where are the villages in this area? A few, let me look at the map...Zhangjia Village, Heshang Village, Lindong Village, Linxi Village...I think that Heshang Village is a bit suspicious..." He was talking there, and suddenly he asked, "Cheng Is Jin there?"

Everyone here looked at Cheng Jin in surprise, only Yang Simi stared at the satellite phone.Cheng Jin said: "I'm here, what do I need to do?"

He He added: "No, just ask. Let's go to the village together?"

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "I'm going to see how Beifeng arranges it."

He Jia disapproved, "He has no idea what to arrange. Let's go?"

These people can really choke to death when they talk.Cheng Jin looked at Beifeng, and Beifeng nodded to him, "Go and have a look."

Cheng Jin casually said, "Let's go there too. Which village will we meet? The Heshang Village you mentioned?"

He Yi added: "No, I'll see which village is closer...Well, let's go to Linxi Village first."

Cheng Jin said, "Okay, see you later."

Jing Xingzhi began to look Cheng Jin up and down again, "Why does the Heavenly Master want you to go with him to some village? Is it because of you?"

Yang Simi looked at him, "Are you courting death?"

Jing Xingzhi said seriously: "It's not that I'm looking for death, it's the Heavenly Master."

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi back and said with a smile, "The Heavenly Master is very interested in the tiger we raised."

"Tiger?" Jing Xingzhi was very interested, but immediately realized, "Is it visible or invisible?"

"invisible."

"I should have thought of it a long time ago..." Jing Xingzhi's mood faded, "Although it's interesting, if you can't see it, you can't see it."

Looking at the map, Beifeng said, "It takes about an hour to get to Linxi Village—on foot. The snowmobile can arrive in about a quarter of an hour. If you want to leave a snowmobile on the mountain, you need two people to stay behind." Cheng Jin and Yang Si Mi was going down the mountain, and he also planned to take a look, so Jing Xingzhi couldn't stay, and he was worried about putting this person with his team members. Apart from the four of them, only Bu Huan, Lao Zhong and Liang Zi were left. , Bu Huan is not familiar with this area, so he can stay, but Bu Huan is from Cheng Jin's side, so it depends on what Cheng Jin thinks.

Cheng Jin said: "What do the people who stay on the mountain need to do? If they need to support people from other places, they need people who are familiar with the terrain in this area to stay. If they just stay here, anyone can do it."

Jing Xingzhi said: "Be conservative, you can keep three people, and if there is a situation, there will be two people to support, and then there will be one person left behind."

Liangzi said: "Boss, I think we can keep more people here. After all, going to the village will not yield anything."

Lao Zhong was silent, he didn't want to agree with Jing Xingzhi.

Bu Huan was very considerate, "I can stay, but I'm not familiar with the situation in this mountain, so please take care of me." He smiled at Liang Zi and Lao Zhong.

Old Zhong smiled and patted him on the back, "You're welcome."

Beifeng looked at Cheng Jin, "What do you think?"

Cheng Jin said, "Yes."

"Then Bu Huan, Lao Zhong and Liangzi stay here." Beifeng looked at the time. It was not yet 10 o'clock, and they left early in the morning, and they were also fast. In addition, Lao Zhong and Liangzi went to pick them up, so it was faster than expected Arrived here an hour early, "Shall we go now? Go to Linxi Village for lunch."

"Okay, let's go."

Yang Simi said: "I want to ride a motorcycle." He walked out quickly, straddled his long legs, and sat on a snowmobile, "I want this one." Like a stubborn little boy, he occupied the snowmobile. The favorite toy is not intended to be touched by others.

The others immediately looked at Cheng Jin to see what he was going to do.Cheng Jin's face remained unchanged, "I'll talk to him."

Jing Xingzhi laughed and said, "It's like a child..." Without waiting for others to agree, he said, "Yang Simi, let's take turns riding." Fifty paces and a hundred paces, people can say.

Beifeng said to Cheng Jin: "It's okay, you go down first. I'll tell you the route." He took the map and pointed the route to Cheng Jin, "It's best to go west on the snowmobile, where the terrain is flatter. Go down here, turn here, there is a big road below, just go straight ahead along the road."

Jing Xingzhi leaned against the door, looked at the snowmobile outside, and then at Beifeng who was planning the route, "Fourth Master, you are too partial."

Liangzi said: "Why don't you and Yang go down first, and then come back to pick up Fourth Master and Boss Cheng alone. Then you two will take turns riding on the bike."

Jing Xingzhi said: "I can." In fact, he said that because he knew that Yang Simi was unwilling.

But he was disappointed, Yang Simi lost his EQ, but his IQ was still there, "There are two cars here, one of you will send them down, just drive the car back."

Makes sense and is irrefutable.Liangzi said: "Fourth Master, then I'll see you off."

Yang Simi looked at Jing Xingzhi, "Happy? Now you can't walk even if you want to." His tone was normal, but his eyes were disdainful, as if he was looking at someone so stupid that he was hopelessly stupid.

Jing Xingzhi was not angry, but laughed, "Fourth Master, what should I do, I really want to walk, why don't we go?"

"Yes." Beifeng said.

Eh?Jing Xingzhi was surprised and suspected that he had heard it wrong, but seeing the surprised expressions of other people, he was sure that it was not his hearing problem.

Beifeng walked aside to organize his luggage, completely ignoring other people's thoughts.

Da Zhong couldn't help but said: "Fourth Master, walking is a waste of time..."

Beifeng said: "It won't waste much time. There is not much oil left. Before the straight machine sends oil up, we must save oil."

Oh, everyone is calm now.

Yang Simi was reminded by him, "Well, we need to fill up the gas." He got off the snowmobile and went to find the oil barrel.

"..."

A few minutes later, Yang Simi and Cheng Jin set off.

Yang Simi charged all the way, and occasionally rose into the air, and then fell heavily on the ground, his bones could be knocked apart.Cheng Jin had to stop him, "Simi, stop for a moment."

Yang Simi stopped on a relatively flat snow field, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Jin said, "My hat is about to fall off."

Yang Simi took off the helmet and handed it to him, "This is for you to wear, I'm not cold."

Cheng Jin touched his face with a smile, and helped him put it back on, "No, you put it on. I'll just tighten it a bit."

Cheng Jin straightened the hat, and tied the strap tightly this time; re-tied the scarf; put the sunglasses back into the bag, because the sun was strong at noon, and wearing sunglasses would make your eyes more comfortable and also protect you from the wind , but Yang Simi's driving skills are so good that if you don't press it with your hands, the sunglasses will be thrown away, so it's better not to wear them. I knew I should have prepared ski glasses.

Putting her bag back on her back and fastening her belt, Cheng Jin said, "Okay, there's no problem this time, let's go."

Ten minutes later, Cheng Jin saw a village. If they walked the right way, it should be Linxi Village.

When I asked in the past, it was indeed Linxi Village, but Tianshi and the others hadn't arrived yet.Cheng Jin took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was a signal here. He dialed the number of Tianshi, but he couldn't get through. They should still be in a place where there is no signal. "Si Mi, let's go to someone else's house and sit down first."

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi and knocked on the door of a family at the entrance of the village. The family was very kind and let them in, and served them tea and snacks.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi heard the sound of a motorcycle, Tianshi and the others arrived, a snowmobile, three people.Besides He Yijia and Xie Shi, there is also a person from Beifeng.Without waiting for the man to introduce himself, Xie Shi hurriedly said, "Cheng Jin, I bet you can't think of his name."

"No gambling." Cheng Jin smiled at the man.

Xie Shi was very disappointed, "You are so boring..." He went to see Yang Simi again, who was eating a frozen pear and had no time to pay attention to him.

The man stretched out his hand towards Cheng Jin, "Hello, I'm Wang Fa."

Cheng Jin held it up, "Hello."

"Is this name domineering?" Xie Shi pointed at the man with his thumb, "He is Wang Fa."

He Yijia said, "He's a panda." He raised his hand and touched Wang Fa's head.Wang Fa smiled good-naturedly, moved to the side, and got out of He Jia's hand.He Jia smiled and watched Wang Fa avoid him, and said to Cheng Jin, "It's interesting. I wanted to tell you about this when I called just now." He seemed to really treat people like pandas.

"Oh." Cheng Jin really couldn't see any similarities between Wang Fa and pandas.Probably because he couldn't see the panda, Cheng Jin didn't understand why Hejia wanted to tell him this.

He Yijia said: "The panda is good, better than your tiger."

Yang Simi stopped eating pears and walked over.Cheng Jin embraced Yang Simi and said with a smile, "I like tigers."

"Well, I like pandas better." He Jia went to look at Wang Fa again, "Would you like to come to our place? I will give you a raise, and our life will not be in danger."

Wang Fa smiled and said, "Thank you for your common sense. But I am very satisfied with my current job and don't plan to change it."

Xie Shi leaned over and said next to Yang Simi: "Our leader has wanted to poach Wang Fa to our team since he met Wang Fa. This is the first time he saw someone who was a panda."

Yang Simi looked up, "It's stupid."

Xie Shi echoed, "A little bit."

The two talked in a low voice, He Jia didn't care that he was more concerned about the panda, Cheng Jin also pretended not to hear, he looked up the mountain, "The north wind should be coming soon."

He Yi added: "I will ask him to give up the panda to me later."

Cheng Jin felt sympathetic to Wang Fa when he heard that he always yelled like pandas. He smiled and said, "Tianshi, there are only three of you? I thought there would be more of you."

"There are three more people still in the mountains."

"So that's how it is." Cheng Jin said, "By the way, Master Tian, ​​what are we here for?"

He Yi added: "Didn't you come to find someone who knows about the dark river?" He suddenly switched to a local accent, "Come on, let's find someone to ask."

Cheng Jin said, "Are you from the Northeast?"

"No." Xie Shi said, "Our leader can speak dozens of dialects."

"Great!"

I don't know if it's He Yijia's language talent that played a role, or he has a special ability to read people. In short, the people he asked are very communicative people, and they are very straightforward when answering questions.Unfortunately, none of them knew about the underground river, but one person said that he had heard about an underground cave. It was a person from Heshang Village. He once entered the underground cave by mistake, and it is said that he almost died there in.

Xie Shi said: "Coincidentally, boss, your intuition is very accurate, if you knew it, we would go directly to Heshang Village."

He He added: "It's the same now as it was in the past."

Cheng Jin checked the time, it had been more than an hour, but Beifeng and Jing Xingzhi hadn't arrived yet. "Should we wait for the north wind to come over first?"

He Yi added: "I can't lose it again. Leave a message with the villagers here, and when they come, let them go directly to Heshang Village."

Cheng Jin dialed Beifeng's cell phone number, but it didn't work.

He Yi added: "Beifeng and Jing Xingzhi, what can happen? Let's go, don't waste time."

Wang Fadao: "It's very close to Heshang Village, we can go there first, and when we finish checking over there, Fourth Master should be there too."

"Let's go then."

Heshang Village is a village beside a small river, so it has nothing to do with the dark river.

The person who is said to have been to the underground cave is a small man, 50 to [-] years old, he seems a little shy, always evasive when speaking, "It's just a very deep cave, I can remember where it is..."

He Yijia looked at him and said with a smile, "You show us the way, and we will give you money."

The man hesitated and said: "This is not very good..."

He Yi added: "It's just the guide fee. You take us up the mountain, and we will pay your guide fee."

The man let go, "How is the guide fee calculated?"

Why did he add: "How about five hundred?"

The man said: "That place is far away, it will take half a day to walk there..."

He Jia smiled and said, "Five hundred is a deposit, and I will give you another five hundred when we arrive." He observed the man, and then said, "How many caves do you know? You take us there, and we will pay the guide fee."

The man hesitated and said, "I do know one more, but going to that place requires some risk."

He Yi added: "The guide fee can be negotiated again."

Xie Shi said: "Money is easy to talk about, we don't lack, but that place is genuine, if you play us..."

"Okay." He Jia stopped Xie Shi, then took out his wallet, took out some money, counted it, and handed it to the man, "This is a thousand. You take it first."

The man picked it up, and smiled enthusiastically, "Don't worry about my work, I will definitely take you somewhere."

He Yi added: "Then you go and prepare, we set off early, by the way, is there a place to eat here?"

The man immediately said: "I can do this, but there is nothing to eat."

He Jia took out another 200 yuan from his wallet and gave him, "Then buy some vegetables. It's troublesome."

"Okay!" The man called his wife out, telling her to get some food quickly.

Cheng Jin asked He Yijia privately, "Does this person really know where the dark river is?"

He Yi added: "He has a group of rats. If anyone here knows what we are looking for, then he has the highest probability of knowing."

"Oh." Cheng Jin realized that he had listened to the explanation in vain. It was something in another field that he couldn't understand.

Wang Fa went to call Beifeng, but there was still no answer, so he called to the mountain again.Old Zhong on the mountain and the others don't know why the north wind hasn't come down the mountain yet.Could it be an accident?Old Zhong said that he would go and have a look and contact them if he had any news.After hanging up the phone, Wang Fa said to Cheng Jin and the others: "I'll go to Linxi Village to see if they've arrived? Maybe there's something wrong with their mobile phone."

Xie Shi said: "Boss, I will go with him."

He Yi added: "Come back early, we will go up the mountain after dinner."

"I'll be back before the dishes are served." Xie Shi said with a smile, and then left with Wang Fa.

Cheng Jin thought of something, "Going up the mountain to spend the night? Do you need to bring something like a tent? I don't have any here."

He Hejia looked at Cheng Jin's bag, "No wonder you only have one small bag. Let me think about it." He thought for a while, and then said, "It's good that Beifeng is here, he asked us to come, these things He should be in charge."

"..."
