In late winter and early spring, at four or five o'clock in the morning, there would not have been many people on the road, but today it is even more scarce.

In addition, it was a weekend, so Zhang Er didn't say that he wanted to stop a taxi, and he hadn't even seen a private car on the road for a long time.

There was no way, the mobile phone communication and positioning signals were all on strike, and Zhang Er could only rely on his feet to walk very slowly towards the main road that seemed closer to the downtown area.

In the city near dawn, street lamps are lit up at sunrise, and the light cast by them is quietly sprinkled on the dead leaves flying on the roadside.

In the eyes, it is the most quiet time in a city.

But......

It seems a little too quiet.

"It's weird......"

Zhang Er looked around as he walked, his face full of doubt.

Not a single pedestrian could see on the street, and the whole city seemed to be an empty city, except for a few lights in a few high-rise buildings not far away, indicating that he was not alone.

After a long time, Zhang Er finally saw a private car passing by with lights on.

After a gesture, the vehicle stopped beside Zhang Er.

"What's wrong?"

The windows rolled down, and a man who looked a little pale from sleep deprivation poked his head out to look at Zhang.

"Excuse me, bro...... I can't get a taxi, where are you going? Can you give me a ride? Rest assured, it is paid. ”

Zhang Er said and dug into his pocket.

Fortunately, because of an old lo-mei shop, I developed the habit of carrying some change and cash with me.

"Get in the car, it's not dawn yet, there are few night shift drivers, and it's still a weekend, so it's strange that you stopped the car."

The man unlocked the car door, stretched out his thumb and pointed to the seat on the right, "Sit in the front, I have something in the back seat." ”

"Thank you, thank you so much, a great help."

Zhang Er hurriedly thanked him, and then sat in the co-pilot of the car in the direction pointed by the other party.

The man nodded and shifted gears, and the car slowly moved forward.

The small perfume bottle hanging on the rearview mirror in the car began to sway slightly after the car started, and Zhang Er couldn't help but look sideways-

The bottle looks a bit cheap, and the flavor that wafts out is particularly inferior and strong.

"Where?"

"I have to go to the municipal police station, and if you don't get by the way, you can drop me off somewhere where you can easily get a taxi or a bus."

Zhang Er wanted to go directly to the station and take the train back, after all, he had disappeared for many days in a row, and he must let his family settle down first, and he also had to give an explanation to the above.

But after thinking about it, he still set his destination at the municipal police station first.

Now...... He had to meet Qin Lin first.

I have to tell the other party about my previous experience.

Let him stay vigilant at the same time, he can also figure out more things, and as soon as he goes back, he will be like the police officer surnamed Hu The next day, he "took leave".

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, although it's a bit far away, I'll send it to you first."

"That's the best, thank you, brother, you can just report the fare directly, of course...... I don't have any cash if I have more, haha, and I can't transfer money on my mobile phone now......"

Zhang Er suddenly remembered this stubble as he spoke, and then asked, "Speaking of which, my mobile phone has not been able to receive a signal, can you make a call?" ”

"It's the same, I couldn't find the signal a few hours ago, I guess the signal base station failed, but I haven't connected it all the way, it can't be that the signal base station in the whole city has a problem."

The man was also a little distressed when he said, "I came out early in the morning, and I haven't reached my destination until now." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch this ride, what do you call it brother?"

"My surname is here, I guess I haven't heard of it."

"It's quite a rare surname."

Zhang Er felt that he seemed to have some impression of this surname, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"My surname is Zhang, then I won't be polite, call you brother."

The man nodded silently.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, Zhang Er thought about it and continued to speak:

"Speaking of which, brother, what are you going to do this morning? I just heard you say that you are not in a hurry, so why do you have to get up early in the morning? It's too frustrating, it's ......"

Hearing this, the man surnamed suddenly grinned a little.

"I can't help it, some things can only be done during this time period."

"For example?"

Zhang Erton was interested, as a criminal policeman, curiosity is one of the attributes that most people will have.

"Hmm...... How can I say this......"

The man's right hand was still on the steering wheel, and his left hand rubbed his chin slightly, as if thinking about how to narrate.

Seconds passed, and the man turned his head sideways to look at Zhang Er.

"You know the time of day when people are at their least defensive...... What time is it? ”

"At night? Wrong...... The darkness at night makes people more vigilant ......"

Zhang Er pondered for a moment and reacted:

"It's this time of day, the vast majority of people are still asleep, and it's about to dawn, and almost everyone is defenseless at this moment."

The man nodded.

"Yes, the so-called 'Dark Moon and High Wind Killing Night' is actually just nonsense, and it is really a suitable time to kill...... It's three to five in the morning. ”

Speaking of this, the man said helplessly:

"It's a pity that I didn't choose a good time at this time, and soon after I went out, the signal disappeared, so that I am now going around and around and not even the destination has not yet arrived, no, when I see you, I want to send you first, and then look for it slowly, it's a big deal to wait for tomorrow."

Zhang Er's vigilance rose in an instant.

"You...... Say it again. ”

"Poofhahaha, you still take it seriously......"

The man suddenly laughed out loud, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Er again, and the triumphant smile on his face was very obvious.

"Didn't I see that you were going to the city police station early in the morning, guessing that you might be a police officer or related work, so I wanted to tease you."

Zhang Er breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the other party's gaze and slackening slightly.

"It's not funny at all."

"Don't take it seriously, friend, how could I possibly kill someone."

The smile on the man's face faded slightly, but he still grinned a little, and then tapped the steering wheel lightly.

Not far away, a building with a police badge came into view from afar.

"So what are you going to do in the morning? You just said a lot, so that I now think that everyone who went out at this point in time has a plan hahaha. ”

Although Zhang Er knew that such a question seemed a little inappropriate, after all, the other party had done him a great favor and sent him all the way to this place, but his tone at this moment seemed to be questioning the other party.

"Not necessarily...... It's to come out for a ride and watch the sunrise......"

But his intuition as a criminal police officer made him can't help but ask these unpleasant words again.

"Well...... Those who go out at this time must have something serious, who has the energy to come out in the morning to watch the sunrise. ”

The man smiled and continued.

"I'm here to send someone."

"I know, you gave me a ride, but your logical cause and effect...... I'm afraid it's upside down. ”

Zhang Er felt more and more that something was wrong.

"You went out first, and then you met me, and now you say it's to 'send me'......?"

"Oh no......"

The man put away his smile.

"I just said, 'I'm here to give someone,' but I didn't say it...... Who am I going to give? ”

Zhang Er's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Everyone knows that there are only two people sitting in this car now, you and me, could it be that you still have one in the trunk?"

Kidnapping, trafficking, homicide.

A series of suspects suddenly appeared in Zhang Er's mind.

As a detective, his instinct has made him ready to take control of the person in front of him at any time.

"Yes, it's just you and me ...... sit."

The man looked sideways at Zhang Er, and the smile on his face was even bigger.

"But ......"

"If there is still someone...... Not sitting? ”

The voice fell—

Zhang Er's eyes widened at the same time......

……

on the back seat.

A tightly sealed bag that was twisted and placed at less than two meters......

Without warning, he suddenly writhed and struggled in an extremely grotesque position!!
