At this time, in the Shuangqing City Police Station, it was almost time to get off work, and a female police officer was preparing to change her shift. At this time, she suddenly received an alarm call.
"Hello, hello, this is Shuangqing City Bureau..." Before the female police officer finished speaking, she heard the person on the other end of the phone say hurriedly:
"Hello, I'm reporting the crime. There is... a pile of bloody human bones next to the trash can behind our community."
"What?! Where?! Don't panic, please tell me your address..."
…
Lao Li greeted Qin Nan, and then Lao Li went down the mountain with Forensic Doctor Wu and several other police officers. Feng Lu and Zhang San also packed their things and left the B&B.
Wu Haotian asked if he wanted him to lead the way, but Qin Nan said no, because the weather seemed like another heavy snowfall was coming, and he was driving a motorcycle, so he didn't want to bother him anymore.
Then Wu Haotian walked in front, and Qin Nan said hello to the old couple at the B&B and left. According to the location on the navigation, Shennong Village seemed to be nearby.
He couldn't help but feel that the road in front of him seemed familiar, and then he quickly discovered a familiar building not far away.
Qin Nan stopped the car and saw the words Shennong Village Committee written on it. He had been here this afternoon.
At this time, the village chief walked out of the village committee. He was sitting at the door and was about to light the cigarette in his hand. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
"Police, comrade police, it's you, what's the matter?" the village chief asked doubtfully.
"Hello, village chief, I'm not a policeman. You misunderstood. I want to ask you something. Do you know where the Qin family is?" Qin Nan asked.
"The Qin family...are you talking about the Qin family on the hill next door?" the village chief asked.
"Yes, how should we go by car?" Qin Nan asked.
The village chief took a puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaled it. After thinking for a while, he stretched out the hand holding the cigarette and said:
"Keep walking on this road. Follow this road for about six kilometers. There will be three forks. Take the leftmost road. Then go straight for about two kilometers and you will see an intersection.
Go to the far left and you'll be there in about a kilometer or two." The village chief said with a frown.
"Thank you, village chief!" After saying that, Qin Nan handed a pack of twenty yuan cigarettes in his pocket to the village chief, then hurriedly got in the car and left. The village chief frowned at this time.
He watched Qin Nan leave and scratched his head. Suddenly his eyes widened and he thought of something: "Isn't this that boy from the Qin family?! Why can't he even find his own home?"
…
By this time, it was already half past six in the evening, and the sky gradually turned dark gray.
Qin Nan drove the car on the road in Shennong Village. Driving on this mountain road is really difficult. He relied on his "body memory" to drive, but there were curves every 100 meters and narrow roads every 10 meters.
It made him feel a little uncomfortable. It was already dark now. After driving for about half an hour, he slowly reached the first three-way intersection. Following the direction pointed by the village chief, he turned left.
The shortcomings of this car gradually became apparent on this dark mountain road. The road ahead was pitch black. There was not a single streetlight on the mountain road in this rural area.
Moreover, we drove more than 6,000 meters before we saw two houses. The low beam of this car seemed to be turned off as if it were not turned on. It was converted into high beam. There is no mobile phone flashlight to use.
If this car had been inspected at the end of this year, it would have been treated as a scrapped car.
Qin Nan lowered the speed to 20 to 30 per hour and moved forward bit by bit. He didn't know how long he had been driving. Somehow, the fog began to get heavier and his vision became worse and worse.
The headlights seemed to have no effect at all at this time, and he could only pray that he would not encounter an oncoming car.
At this time, the fog became thicker and thicker, and we could only see a distance of about ten meters.
He sighed and stopped the car. He looked at the time and saw that it was already approaching eight o'clock in the evening. He was a little unsure of the road ahead and was afraid of driving on a small road.
So he called his grandma. When Qin Nan just raised the phone, several round pieces of white paper floated out of the car window. He looked around and found no one.
His eyes widened when a piece of white paper fell on his front windshield, because it seemed to be for dead people.
Qin Nan's back started to feel cold. He didn't know why, but he always felt like there was something on his back.
Although he is an atheist, after he experienced rebirth, these things changed his perception, although he has not seen them with his own eyes yet.
Qin Nan swallowed and found his grandma's phone number on his mobile phone. Fortunately for him, the mobile phone still had a signal here.
"Hey, grandma..." Qin Nan shouted with a slightly trembling voice.
"Nan Nan, are you here?" Grandma asked.
"Not yet... just can't find the way?" Qin Nan said.
"Can't find the way? Then how did you come back before, and you can't find the way after not going home for several years?" Grandma said angrily.
"No, no, I asked the village chief, but...it's foggy now, and I can't see the road clearly..." Qin Nan said hesitantly.
"Fogging? No." The grandma on the other side of the phone opened the window and looked outside. She found no fog and no sign of fog.
"Where are you now? Haotian happens to be at our house. I asked him to pick you up." Grandma said.
Qin Nan looked around, but didn't seem to find anything iconic. At this time, he saw a fire moving not far away. It seemed that a man in white clothes was burning something there. It seemed to be a tomb.
At this time, Qin Nan's back felt colder and colder, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"I should be not far from the fork in the road. I can feel it. I saw a tomb near me, and there were people burning paper..." Before Qin Nan could finish speaking, the grandma on the other side of the phone exclaimed.
:
"What, there is a tomb? There are still people burning paper at this time?! Could it be..."
