The speeding bus was driving on the winding mountain road, and countless gnashing eyes stared at Zhou Fan, who was sleeping with his eyes closed and swaying from side to side.
"Slim! Even my schoolmate's mother is not spared!"
"Shameless! You dare to pretend to sleep and eat tofu, you are simply shameless..."
The male compatriots in the bus almost unanimously cursed Zhou Fan in their hearts for being shameless.
After passing through steep slopes, the bus finally arrived at the botanical garden located in the mountains.
This place is still in the suburbs of the city, but it seems a little remote compared to the downtown area.
"It's here, it's here!"
"Get off the bus!"
Seeing that they finally reached their destination, everyone who had eaten all the dog food along the way shouted at the top of their lungs.
Zhou Fan and the three people sitting in the last row also woke up one after another, stood up and got out of the car with the flow of people.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Qian Sen, who was leading the team, shouted and took the lead in leading the way towards the gate of the scenic spot.
"How about it?"
Yang Xue, who purposely walked at the back of the crowd, suddenly grabbed Zhou Fan and asked in a low voice.
"My hands are cold, my pulse is there, my breathing is stable, and I haven't noticed anything abnormal yet!"
Zhou Fan replied thoughtfully, but found that Yang Xue glared at him angrily.
"Nothing unusual?"
"If you touch her hand, will she know?"
"Does the food delivered to your door smell better?"
Yang Xue asked sharply, leaving Zhou Fan speechless and embarrassed.
He thought to himself, how about I dedicate myself to art?
Shaking his head, he didn't bother to argue with Yang Xue.
"A green lamp illuminates the underworld, and two drops of residual blood pour the wick."
"Scroll, write poems and seal, burn the sea of flowers and jade rings and return?"
This was the voice of a woman murmuring into his mind when he recognized his master Qing Deng.
Zhou Fan seemed to understand, but it wasn't until he met Mrs. Wang that he had some guesses.
But because it was too far-fetched, he felt that maybe he was overthinking it.
Of course, there must be something wrong with Mrs. Wang.
"Ding dong!"
Just as Zhou Fan followed the team into the scenic area, he received a message from Lin Changyuan.
Based on the clues you provided, the Security Department sent people to search, but no one was found at the location.
I didn’t see any of the ancient palace dresses you mentioned, but I found several shriveled corpses under the bed in that room.
The identity of the deceased and the condition of the body require further autopsy, so please be careful outside.
The news from Lin Changyuan made Zhou Fan somewhat unexpected.
He had already guessed that he couldn't find anyone.
But there were bones in the house, which was unusual.
The most important thing is that where Qian Sen went, Mrs. Wang did not kill him, which is somewhat doubtful.
The most important point is Mrs. Wang’s purpose?
Why did she come to the outdoor botanical garden?
He doesn’t believe the excuses made for the dynasty!
"Today we visit the outdoor botanical garden, your tickets are free and you can walk around the scenic area as you like."
"Everyone can gather here at the main entrance of the scenic spot later. Today everyone can move freely and form groups to play."
"The scenic spots are not open at night. Don't run too far to avoid danger. Everyone, please pay attention to safety..."
After entering the scenic spot, Qian Sen gathered Zhou Fan and others together and announced.
"Can I move around freely?"
“Awesome!”
"Chen San, Li Si, let's form a team together!"
"Let's also form a team..."
The thirty or so students were very happy after hearing that they did not have to follow the large army and could move freely.
They each formed small groups, forming a team in twos and threes.
Of course, the boys still didn't forget to invite these two great beauties, Yang Xue and Mrs. Wang.
However, both of them declined the invitation and said they wanted to form a team with Zhou Fan.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit confrontational again, and he looked like he was about to start a fight, Zhou Fan quickly said that he wanted to be alone.
Before the two of them could react, he had already rubbed oil on his feet and ran into a peach forest in the scenic area.
Yang Xue and Mrs. Wang didn't expect Zhou Fan to leave immediately, and they both looked at each other and snorted coldly.
Qian Sen on the side saw that everyone else had fled, so he could only step forward to break up the fight.
Later, he became a winner in life, because both Yang Xue and Mrs. Wang agreed to form a team with him to visit the botanical garden.
After leaving Taolin, Zhou Fan started to turn on his phone to check the map.
The botanical garden where he is now is divided into several areas, namely Taoyuan District, Field Area, Bamboo Forest Area, Flower Sea Area, Cactus Area and Misty Forest.
As he quickly walked through Taoyuan District, he had briefly checked the surrounding security and found nothing unusual.
Although this botanical garden is remote, many tourists come here, and you can see people almost everywhere.
He soon came to the field area, where many strange-shaped vegetables were grown, as well as various oats and rice to admire.
Many people carry small baskets and pick their favorite wild vegetables here.
There are many coordinates and notice boards erected in the field area, reminding tourists that each person can pick up to five kilograms of vegetables and fruits, and they cannot throw them away after picking, otherwise they will be caught on camera and fined.
The botanical garden only has cameras in the periphery and field areas, but there are no cameras in other places to capture other people's privacy, which affects the play experience.
Mrs. Wang is now with Yang Xue. With her keeping an eye on Zhou Fan, she can explore the botanical garden first.
When leaving the field area and coming to the bamboo forest area, Zhou Fan found that there were many tourists digging bamboo shoots here.
He did not join the bamboo shoot digging camp, but continued deeper along the bamboo forest area to the outside of the misty forest.
There is a notice prohibiting entry here, and it is listed that there is a high-voltage power grid and it is filled with poisonous miasma all year round. Entering it is life-threatening.
Zhou Fan is not afraid of poisonous miasma or anything like that.
His Bauhinia Orchid can dilute the refining toxins to a certain extent and have a detoxifying effect.
Zhou Fan raised his eyes and looked at the sky three poles above the sun. He originally wanted to step into the forest to take a look.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz..."
At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated.
"Hello?"
"Something happened! There are several mummies in the field!"
As soon as Zhou Fan answered the phone, he heard Yang Xue's somewhat dignified voice.
"I am coming over now!"
Zhou Fan hung up the phone and quickly walked out of the bamboo forest.
After he turned around and left, a middle-aged man wearing a greening worker's uniform and holding a chainsaw slowly walked out of the misty woods.
The field area on the other side was already crowded with people, and someone discovered that in a rice field, several mummies were almost frightened to death, and they fled screaming.
Yang Xue, Mrs. Wang and Qian Sen, who happened to be in the field area, heard that there was a dead person and immediately stepped forward to check.
Yang Xue has a duty, Mrs. Wang may just want to join in the fun, but Qian Sen is afraid that something big will happen if it is the students he leads.
Fortunately, the five mummies can be roughly distinguished. The dead are middle-aged people, three men and two women.
The five corpses seemed to have had their energy and blood sucked dry, and they appeared shriveled but their bodies were intact.
Yang Xue immediately suspected Mrs. Wang, but she was always with him and there was no way she would have time to commit the crime.
"How about it?"
At this time, Zhou Fan ran over from a distance and asked.
Yang Xue originally planned to conduct an autopsy, but after seeing Zhou Fan's arrival, she decided to hand over this arduous task to him.
As a beautiful woman, she still subconsciously doesn't like to touch corpses.
Mrs. Wang on the side just looked at it curiously, and seemed to have no intention of getting too close or checking on the body.
On the contrary, Qian Sen, who liked reading detective novels, felt that it was a good time to show off his literary talent. He did not shy away from taking photos as evidence, and then began to examine the body with Zhou Fan.
All the good people around were watching not far away with curiosity.
