At the end of winter and early spring, at four or five o'clock in the morning, there were not many people coming and going on the road, but today it is even more sparse.

In addition, it was the weekend, so much so that Zhang Er wanted to stop a taxi, he hadn't 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, so Zhang Er could only walk slowly towards the main road that looked closer to the downtown area with his feet.

In the city near dawn, street lights are lit everywhere that are ready to go out at sunrise, and the light sources under the projection are quietly sprinkled on the dead leaves flying by the roadside.

In my eyes, it looks like the quietest time in a city.

but……

It seems a little bit too quiet.

"It's strange..."

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

No pedestrian could see it on the street. The whole city seemed to have become an empty city. Only a few lights scattered in the skyscrapers not far away showed that he was not alone.

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

After comparing a ride gesture, the vehicle stopped beside Zhang Er.

"What's wrong?"

The car window rolled down, and a man who looked a little pale because of lack of sleep stuck his head out and looked at Zhang Er.

"Sorry, brother... I can't stop a taxi, where are you going? Can you take me a ride? Don't worry, it's paid."

Zhang Er said, plucking his pocket.

Fortunately, because of an old braised food store, I developed the habit of bringing 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 weekends, so it's strange that you can stop the car."

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

"Thank you, thank you so much, I've helped you a lot."

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

The man nodded and switched to the driving gear, and then the vehicle slowly moved forward.

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

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

“Where to go?”

"I have to go to the Municipal Police Department. If you don't have a way, you can put me in a place where you can get a taxi or bus."

Zhang Er originally wanted to go directly to the station to take the bus back. After all, he had disappeared for many days in a row, so he must make his family calm down first and give an explanation to the above.

But after thinking about it, he set his destination first at the Municipal Police Department.

Now... I have to meet Qin Lin first.

You must inform the other party about your previous experience.

While keeping him alert, he can also figure out more things, so as to save himself from "taking leave" like the policeman named Hu the next day.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry either. Although there is a little distance, I'll send it to you first."

"That's the best. Thank you, brother. Just report the fare directly. Of course... I don't have any cash if I have too much haha, I can't transfer money now..."

Zhang Er suddenly remembered this and asked, "When it comes to this, my phone has not received any signal. Can you make a call?"

"Same, I couldn't search for the signal a few hours ago. It's probably because the signal base station has failed. However, I haven't connected it all the way. It's impossible that there are problems with the signal base stations in the entire city."

The man said a little distressed, "I came out early this morning and I have never reached my destination until now."

"Hahaha, it's okay, otherwise I won't be able to take the ride in this train. What do you call me brother?"

"My last name is here, probably I haven't heard of it."

"This surname is quite rare."

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

"My surname is Zhang, then I will not be polite. I will call you brothers."

The man nodded silently.

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

"Speaking of this, brother, what are you going to do this early in the morning? I just heard you say you were in a hurry, so what's wrong with you that you have to get up early in the morning? It's so troublesome..."

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Lai smiled suddenly.

"There is no way, some things can only be done during this period of time."

“Say?”

Zhang Er suddenly became interested. As a criminal policeman, curiosity is one of the attributes that most people will have.

"Well...what should I say this..."

The man still put his right hand on the steering wheel, freed his left hand and gently stroked his chin, as if thinking about how to describe it.

After a few seconds, the man turned his head and looked at Zhang Er.

"Do you know when a person has the lowest time to be on guard in a day... when?"

"Night? No... The dark environment at night will make people more alert..."

Zhang Er thought about it for a moment and reacted:

"It's just this time period. Most people are still asleep, and it's about to dawn, and almost everyone is in a state of no defense at this moment."

The man nodded.

"Yes, the so-called 'the night of killing people in dark moon and high wind' is actually nonsense. The time for killing people is really suitable... it is from 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. I just left the house and encountered a signal disappearing, which made me go around now and not even reach the destination. Now, when I see you, I think I'll send you there first and then search slowly. At worst, I can wait for tomorrow."

Zhang Er's vigilance suddenly rose.

"You... say it again."

"Hahahaha, you took it seriously..."

The man suddenly laughed as if he was happy, then turned his head to look at Zhang Er again, and the successful smile on his face seemed very obvious.

"Didn't I think you're going to the city police station early in the morning? You might be a policeman or a related job, just thinking about teasing you."

Zhang Er breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the other person's eyes slightly relaxed.

"This joke is not funny at all."

"Don't take it seriously, my friend, how could I kill someone?"

The smile on the man's face slightly dissipated, but he still looked a little grinned, and then he gently turned the steering wheel.

Not far away, a building with a police badge entered the field of view from afar.

"So what are you planning to do in the early morning? You just made a big splash, which made me feel that those who go out at this time have some plans hahaha."

Although Zhang Er knew that this question seemed a bit out of place, after all, the other party helped him a lot and sent him to this place, his tone seemed to be questioning the other party at this moment.

"It's not necessarily...it's just to go out for a ride and watch the sunrise..."

But his intuition as a detective made him ask again if this is not pleasing to say anything like this.

"Well... the person who goes out must have a serious business at this time. He is so old that he still has the energy to come out early in the morning to watch the sunrise."

The man continued to answer with a smile.

"I'm trying to send someone."

"I know, you gave me a ride, but your logical cause and effect... is probably reversed."

Zhang Er felt something was wrong.

"You went out first and then met me, but now you said it was for ‘sending me’…?”

"No..."

The man put away his smile.

"I just said 'I'm giving away someone', but I didn't say... whom do I want to give away?"

Zhang Er's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Everyone knows that there are only two people sitting in this car, you and me. Could it be that there is one in your trunk?"

Kidnapping, trafficking, and murder.

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

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

"Yes, you and I are sitting..."

The man looked at Zhang Er with a smile on his face.

"but……"

"What if there were still people...not sitting?"

After the words fell—

Zhang Er widened his eyes while...

...

In the back seat.

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

Without any warning, he suddenly twisted and struggled in an extremely weird posture!!!
