Thirty-five-year-old Wang Peng is a travel enthusiast and often drives around the country alone.
Some time ago, during the National Day holiday, everyone had a holiday, but Wang Peng did not. He was working. But now, the holiday has passed, and people on holiday have already gone back to work, but Wang Peng chose to drive to Tibetan areas at this time.
.
Wang Peng is the boss of a company in Bohai City. He is said to be the boss, but in fact he is one of the shareholders. The company's affairs are taken care of by several other shareholders. He just gets dividends based on the shares when the time comes. Wang Peng is a person who can't sit still.
, likes photography, likes to travel around the world, and doesn't like to stay in the office. Several other shareholders have no objections to this, but Wang Peng is still the same as before, doing whatever he has to do, as long as he doesn't show up for company matters.
He doesn't know how to manage big problems, and the other shareholders have no good way to deal with it, so they can only let it go. What's more, the company was able to be established and grow mainly because of the help of Wang Peng's father.
, without the assistance of Wang Peng’s father, it would be very difficult for the company to get to where it is now.
Wang Peng drove a white Haval H9 on the highway. Because he was traveling to Tibetan areas, Wang Peng specially asked a friend to get this off-road vehicle.
In addition to some essential travel supplies, there is also a large photography bag in the car, which contains two cameras. The cameras store the photos he took during his trip to Tibetan areas.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Wang Peng took off the sunglasses from the bridge of his nose and threw them on the passenger seat. He looked ahead and muttered: "Damn, I finally got out here, but you have to let me do it at this time."
Go back, really, when I go back, I will definitely talk to them properly."
Wang Peng has regular features and long hair that travelers often have. His hair was tied back casually with a rubber band. His hair was also dyed orange. His skin is not white, but it is not black either.
He has a healthy tan color, and the clothes he wears are bulging out from his muscles. At first glance, he looks like a man who exercises regularly.
This is not Wang Peng's first time in the northwest. According to the navigation display, he can reach the rest stop in front of him in an hour's drive. He can rest here for a night and replenish supplies, even though his partners are urging him very urgently.
, However, Wang Peng is still not too anxious. After all, he is driving alone without anyone to help him. He does not want to get into trouble. Accidents due to fatigue driving have been common in recent years. Wang Peng does not want to have to do so at such a young age.
passed away.
Here in the northwest, the land is vast and vast, and even the sky is so refreshing, with clear skies, blue sky and white clouds, and a clear and clean sky. This picture is difficult to see in the city, but it is not uncommon here in the northwest.
At this time, the white clouds in the sky were dyed golden yellow, which was really beautiful. Even Wang Peng, who had been to the northwest countless times, whenever he saw this scene, he felt relaxed and happy for no reason, and couldn't help but want to
Stop the car and take out your camera to take pictures.
However, Wang Peng still did not stop. Instead, he increased the accelerator and sped forward, because he knew that if he did not hurry up, he would not be able to reach the rest stop before it was completely dark. It is very dangerous to drive at night here.
Yes, he had been driving for several hours and didn't want to keep driving.
"Dingling bells..."
Just when Wang Peng turned his head reluctantly, his cell phone rang.
Wang Peng turned his head subconsciously and glanced at the phone screen that lit up. It was a call from one of his partners.
Seeing this caller number, Wang Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew without answering the phone that the other party must be asking him where he was.
When the call was connected, before Wang Peng could speak, a man's voice came from the other side.
"I said Wang Peng, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
"I'm driving, brother." Wang Peng said helplessly.
"Oh, that's it. Where are you now?"
"We're almost at Wuma City, what's wrong?" Wang Peng glanced at the navigation system and said.
"I said to Wang Peng, the situation here in the company is very urgent. Why can't you just buy a plane ticket and come back first? Why do you have to drive back?" Wang Peng, who was obviously dissatisfied with what he did, said.
"It's not like you don't know me. I'm afraid of heights and can't fly."
"Since you are afraid of heights, why are you running around all over the world? Why don't you just sit down quietly?"
"I want to, but my butt just can't sit still..."
"Clang."
"Crunch."
Before Wang Peng finished speaking, the car hit something and bumped. This shocked Wang Peng. He quickly slammed on the brakes and the tires traveled a distance on the gravel road.
, stopped suddenly.
As the car suddenly stopped, Wang Peng's body was pulled forward by the inertia, and then pulled back by the seat belt. Wang Peng suddenly felt a burning pain in his chest, but his attention was not at all at the moment.
Chest, but turned his head, looking at the reversing mirror in a daze.
"Hey...Wang Peng...what's going on over there? Did something happen?"
The person on the other end of the phone obviously heard what was going on here, and he asked anxiously.
Wang Peng is confused now. He is very sure that he hit something. But what did he hit? Was it an animal? Or was it a stone that rolled down the road?
Without enough time to explain anything to the other party, he threw his cell phone on the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, and walked out.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the fiery red clouds in the sky are getting darker and darker.
Swallowed by darkness, Wang Peng walked towards the place where the car hit something just now. He wanted to see what he hit just now, whether it was a stone, an animal, or a person. Wang Peng hoped it was the former.
After walking back for about two hundred meters along the road, Wang Peng's eyes suddenly shrank. He smelled a strong smell of blood, and two red blood marks appeared on the dry road. The traces were clearly visible.
Leftovers from rolling tires.
When he saw the blood, Wang Peng's heart sank suddenly. He knew that he must have hit something alive. He hoped it was an animal, not a person.
However, fearing what might happen, Wang Peng continued to walk back. After taking a few steps, he saw a tattered backpack. The strap of the backpack had been broken. It was lying alone on the road. And behind the backpack
Not far away, there is a large plastic bottle. There is still less than half of the water in the plastic bottle. Due to the impact just now, the plastic bottle was crushed by the car. The water in the bottle slowly flowed out along the break.
A puddle of water was left on the dry road.
Wang Peng had a bad premonition, and as he continued to walk back, this bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
"ah......"
Wang Peng was walking when he suddenly tripped over something, staggered and almost fell.
After finally standing firm, Wang Peng smelled a strong smell of blood, and this smell of blood came from under his feet. Wang Peng quickly lowered his head to look, but the sky had completely darkened. He just lowered his head and bent down.
He couldn't see clearly at all, so he had to squat down and reach out to touch it.
The tentacles were warm, and when he continued to touch them downwards, there was a feeling of coldness. Wang Peng felt that his hands were wet, as if he had touched something greasy. He raised his hands and took a closer look, and there was a pungent smell.
The smell of blood hit his face, and he could see clearly what was on his hands.
Blood, blood that is still flowing slowly.
Wang Peng's face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and goosebumps appeared on his back.
"Fuck, it's over. I hope the person I bumped into wasn't someone."
While Wang Peng was talking, he looked down, and then his eyes widened.
Originally, he hoped that the animal lying on the ground was some kind of animal, but he clearly saw that the animal lying on the ground was not an animal, but a person. After all, animals cannot wear clothes, and the 'thing' in front of him was
Wearing clothes, except for humans who wear clothes, other creatures do not wear clothes.
"I...I...killed someone...someone..."
After confirming that he hit someone, Wang Peng suddenly took a few steps back as a conditioned reflex. Then, he tripped over something and sat down on the ground.
The scorching temperature during the day made the road extremely hot. Even though the sun had set now, the ground was still a little hot. Wang Peng's buttocks felt burning pain and burning, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Generally speaking, the whole body is cold.
Wang Peng stared blankly at the corpse in front of him. His mind was blank now. His only thought was that he had killed someone and he had to flee the scene quickly.
Thinking of this, Wang Peng suddenly stood up from the ground as if he had been stabbed in the butt by a needle. He looked around hurriedly. Except for the faint light of the car lights behind him, what he saw was endless darkness. There was only one person around him.
None, let alone humans, not even animals.
There was no one around, and no surveillance cameras were seen. Wang Peng suddenly let out a long breath. He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ran towards the car. He wanted to leave here, and leave before someone discovered the body.
He rushed to the driver's seat, opened the door, jumped into the car, and prepared to start the car. However, because he was in a hurry, the car couldn't start.
"Crack."
Because he couldn't start the fire, Wang Peng slapped the steering wheel hard.
"Hey...Wang Peng...what's wrong with you? Talk, hey..."
I don't know whether it was because Wang Peng didn't speak for a long time, or because Wang Peng's actions just now attracted the other party's attention, but the anxious voice of the other party came from the phone that was not hung up.
Wang Peng looked at the cell phone that was still calling, and his heart became more and more panicked.
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do..."
Wang Peng roared crazily in his heart. This was not the first time he came to the northwest, nor was it the first time he drove on this road. In the past few times, he had been extremely careful when driving, and there were no major accidents. Except for
Once at night, except for hitting and killing a little lamb crossing the road, there were no other accidents. Now, he hit and killed someone here, and he became completely panicked.
"Hey...Wang Peng..."
The anxious call from his partner continued to come from the mobile phone. Wang Peng gradually calmed down and began to think about what to do next.
"I'm here." Wang Peng picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"What happened to you over there? I just heard the emergency brake sound. Did you hit something?"
Hearing the other party's question, Wang Peng's heart, which had just calmed down, became panicked again.
"I...I..."
Wang Peng wanted to tell the other party the truth, but he looked at me on the phone for a long time and still didn't say a complete sentence.
"What happened to you? Did you hit someone?"
Wang Peng's abnormal behavior immediately attracted the other party's attention, and he asked quickly.
"right."
"How is that man? Is he dead?"
"I don't know, he is probably dead, what should I do?"
"...."
Hearing what Wang Peng said, the other end of the phone fell into silence. Obviously, the other party did not expect that something would happen to Wang Peng.
"Tell me, will I be caught by the police and go to jail? Will I be..."
Wang Peng was now at a loss. This was the first time something like this had happened to him, and he really didn't know what to do. Especially when he saw a bloody fingerprint on the steering wheel, he became even more panicked.
"Wang Peng, listen to me. Don't panic. In this case, you call the police first."
"No, if I call the police, the police will definitely suspect me immediately. I..."
"Wang Peng, you fucking calm down. Think about it, even if you don't call the police, the police will find the body soon, and if the body is found, the police will definitely find you soon. If you take the initiative to call the police now, you still belong.
If you turn yourself in, you can get a lighter punishment. If you run away now, it is a hit and run. When you are sentenced, the sentence will be aggravated. You should be very clear about which is more serious."
"But......"
Wang Peng obviously didn't want to do this, especially when he thought that he was arrested by the police because of this incident, put in prison, and lost his freedom from then on. For him who always loved freedom, this was the greatest torture and pain.
Suffering.
"Nothing but, if you don't want to be wanted by the police, just do as I say. Besides, that person may not have been killed by you. We'll talk about it after the police arrive."
"..."
Wang Peng did not agree immediately.
After a few seconds of silence, Wang Peng said: "Okay, I'm thinking about it."
"What else are you thinking about? Call the police quickly..."
However, Wang Peng hung up the phone before the other party finished speaking. Then, he put down the phone, opened the dialing interface, and with trembling bloody fingers, pressed three numbers on the screen, 110.
The number was pressed, but his finger always stayed on the dial key, hesitating whether to dial it or not.
Wang Peng was in a very conflicted mood at this time. His friend was right, calling the police was the most correct choice because his friend studied law. However, he was not sure whether the man was killed by himself.
If so, he will definitely go to jail, but he is already thirty-five, has not been married yet, and has no children. His parents are urging him every day, and he is also very irritable. This trip to the northwest is not just for tourism,
The more important thing is to avoid the nagging of his parents and the blind dates arranged for him.
Once the police are called, the police will definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible. At that time, no matter whether the person was killed by himself or not, he will definitely be taken away by the police. If he is really killed by himself, then the rest of his life will be
He was about to spend time in prison. Thinking of this, Wang Peng thought of his parents who already had gray hair. They had nagged him so much in the past. Looking back now, he felt how kind they were.
"Hello, hello, this is the 110 alarm center. What can I do for you?"
I don't know if it was because of trembling hands or other reasons, but the police call was dialed, and a woman's voice came from the phone.
The surroundings were silent, and the sudden sound frightened Wang Peng. He almost threw the phone in his hand, but he still held it back.
"I...I..."
Wang Peng said hesitantly.
"Excuse me, sir, what is your name? How can I help you?" The gentle and polite voice sounded again.
"My name is Wang Peng. I am on the national highway from Canghai City to Wuma City. I bumped into a person here. He seems to be dead..."
I don't know whether it was the friend's advice that worked or the operator's gentle and polite tone that made Wang Peng completely determined and told the other party everything that happened here.
After Wang Peng finished speaking, the other party asked Wang Peng about his specific location and the landmark objects near the scene, and then asked Wang Peng to wait where he was while the police arrived immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Peng threw the phone on the passenger seat. His whole body seemed to be drained, and he leaned on the seat limply. He felt that he was finished, completely finished, especially when he saw his
After his hands were stained with blood, his feeling became even stronger.
Suddenly, Wang Peng stood up and went to twist the car key. He regretted it. He wanted to escape and he didn't want to go to jail.
"Dingling bells..."
At this moment, the cell phone rang again. Wang Peng was startled. He quickly looked at the cell phone screen and found that it was a call from a friend. He hesitated and answered the call.
"Did you call the police?"
"Um."
"What did the police say?"
"Let me wait at the scene."
"That's good, Wang Peng, don't be afraid. I have already bought the earliest flight ticket to Wuma City. I will find you as soon as possible. Next, you just need to wait patiently for the police to arrive.
Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I won't be able to help you, you know?"
"I know...I know, thank you."
"We are brothers. Why are you talking? Just wait for me. I will be at your side soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, the call was hung up again, and Wang Peng completely lost his strength. He lay down on the seat, closed his eyes, and waited for the arrival of the police.
