"Six million, six million, I'll take five million, five million, each of them will get half a million, half a million."
Jiang Che was humming a little song all the way, leisurely and at ease.
Since the mission address this time was relatively remote, it was already dark by the time we arrived at the destination.
19:35
The four of them arrived outside the Kongyunshan Tunnel.
There are several temporary houses here, which are iron houses built with a few steel beams and iron sheets.
There used to be a lot of them, but now they are falling down and demolished, and the few remaining ones look crumbling.
These iron houses were used by those who were working on the tunnel construction at that time. After the accident, the tunnel construction was stopped, and these houses were naturally abandoned.
However, there are still two C-level challengers living here, one is from the Conspiracy Bureau and the other is from the Law Enforcement Bureau. They are responsible for guarding the tunnel and simply entertaining the challengers who come here to handle the incident, including providing some necessary things.
Before coming, Brother Ji had already contacted the person in charge here.
…
It was a hazy night, and an incandescent lamp hanging outside the tin house was swaying in the wind, flickering on and off, making a sizzling sound of electricity.
Because no one has taken care of the area for too long, the area is overgrown with weeds, and the rustling sound keeps lingering in my ears.
The picture is a bit eye-catching.
"Is there anyone? We are from Beijing University!" Cao Ji shouted, but did not get any response.
"anyone there?"
"Is there anyone~~~"
Zhuge Ye shrank his neck and said, "Why does it feel... a little weird?"
Cao Ji's face darkened, "Be careful."
However, when Cao Ji looked at Jiang Che and the others, Jiang Che had already drawn out the bone-crushing knife, Su Xiaojin had taken out the horizontal knife, and Zhuge Ye was holding a bead.
Cao Ji: "..., well, vigilance is good."
At this time, Jiang Che made a gesture to silence himself, and then gestured.
Why the hell can’t I understand this? Cao Ji frowned: “What are you gesturing at?”
Zhuge Ye explained: "He said, follow me closely and don't wander."
Cao Ji: "You can even understand the gestures he makes with his middle finger?"
Zhuge Ye looked at Cao Ji with caring eyes, "Isn't this easy to understand?"
Cao Ji: "Haha, that's a good gesture. Don't do it next time."
"Shh!!!" Jiang Che glared at the two of them, then waved his hand and walked towards the iron room first.
Arriving outside the door of the tin house, Jiang Che made a few more gestures.
Zhuge Ye immediately walked to the window, took a few glances inside, and shook his head.
Su Xiaojin walked to the door and nodded to Jiang Che.
Then, Jiang Che looked at Cao Ji.
Cao Ji: "..."
Jiang Che made another gesture.
Cao Ji: "???" I...I seem to be really here to fish? Brother, I really can't understand. Damn, what's your expression? Are you looking down on me?!
Jiang Che shook his head with disgust and looked at Su Xiaojin.
One finger...
Two fingers...
Three fingers!
Su Xiaojin kicked the door, and it flew away with a bang.
In an instant, Jiang Che raised his sword and rushed into the house, shouting: "Don't move! You are surrounded!!!"
"Gudonggudong"
"..."
There was no one in the room, and the furniture was very simple.
There was a faint musty smell and a strong smell of meat in the room.
A pot of something that looked like spicy soup was tumbling "gudonggudong".
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"you……"
The four of them turned around and saw an old man.
He only has one eye, and the skin around his left eye socket is completely wrinkled and looks like a scar.
Cao Ji touched his nose and said, "We are from Beijing University. Are you..."
"Oh, this is the challenger from Beijing University, right?" The old man said with a smile: "I am the mayor of Kongyun Town, Kang Jiande."
"Kang Jiande? Mayor?" Cao Ji frowned slightly and said, "Where is the person in charge here?"
Kang Jiande waved his hand and said: "It's like this. There was a mysterious incident in the city. They were both called back, so they asked me to come and see it for a few days."
"But you are an ordinary person, right?" Jiang Che couldn't feel the slightest bit of magic in the other person.
Kang Jiande nodded: "Yes, I am an ordinary person, and I also know that there are secrets in the tunnel, but there have been no problems in the past few years, and that thing has never come out, and I am only a temporary substitute for a few days. I won't
Something happened..."
"They told me before they left, asking me to receive you."
There are many doubts about Kang Jiande's words.
Therefore, Cao Ji directly contacted the law enforcement bureau here in front of him, and after checking what the other party said, he greeted him with a smile.
Cao Ji put the phone back into his pocket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mayor Kang. I'm doing this just in case."
Kang Jiande didn't care, "It's okay, it's normal. I made a pot of broth specially. The four of you have come from a long way and are so busy with travel. Can you drink some first?"
"There's nothing to entertain you in this place, don't dislike it, don't dislike it..."
"Huh? This door..."
Cao Ji: "Ah, this... misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we will put it back in a while."
Kang Jiande: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's my problem that I don't have a sense of time."
Under Kang Jiande's reception, five people sat down around a small table.
The broth is very delicious.
Jiang Che put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Where did Mayor Kang go just now?"
Kang Jiande sighed: "I just went back to the town. I can't help it. Although there are only two to three hundred households in the town, there are still things that need to be dealt with. Who asked me to be the mayor?"
"There are only two or three hundred households in a town? How many people are there?" Zhuge Ye asked.
Kang Jiande: "Now, there are less than 600..."
"..." The four of them looked at each other.
Seeing this, Kang Jiande smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing surprising. The tunnel is not a secret in our town."
“Who wants to live at the foot of a mountain that could collapse at any time?”
"After a few challengers died, everyone spread the word that things in the tunnel couldn't be solved, so people with a little bit of ability and skills moved out. Now the only ones left are us old bones who are too lazy to move and can't move.
Don’t want to move…”
"Calculating the time, no one has taken the initiative to come here for almost half a year."
"Come, come, drink soup, drink soup. This is an animal I raised myself. It is very nutritious."
With that said, Kang Jiande scooped another bowl for everyone.
Zhuge Ye ate happily and ate with gusto.
Su Xiaojin had a small appetite and didn't eat much.
Cao Ji and Jiang Che also had a taste and didn't eat too much.
Jiang Che looked at the steaming broth and asked: "Mayor Kang, I would like to ask what kind of meat this is? Why can't I eat it?"
Hearing Jiang Che's words, Zhuge Ye, who was chewing a bone, was stunned.
There won’t be any problem with this meat, right?…
"Chicken, beef, mutton, all... add some vegetables and flour, stew in one pot, local characteristics, local characteristics." Kang Jiande said with a smile.
Jiang Che nodded and asked again: "Mayor Kang, I just heard that all the capable people in the town have moved out."
"Then your children have moved away too?"
"No..." Kang Jiande shook his head.
"They're dead."
"died?"
Kang Jiande let out a long sigh and said, "I have two sons, both of whom are tunnel workers..."
"..."×4
Kang Jiande took out a pack of cigarettes and pulled out a few, "Do you smoke?"
