11. Chapter 11 The missing courier
The moment I saw the package, my body shook slightly, and my mind even more.
It's here, what's due to come will come eventually.
A trace of luck that still exists in my mind becomes gone at this moment, and I can never escape what should be...
I bent down to pick up the package, wrapped in my hand, and it was a little deformed by me. I gritted my teeth tightly, and my finger joints began to turn white.
"Touch!" The package was thrown directly on the ground by me. I rushed out of the room, looked at the quiet yard, and shouted heart-wrenchingly: "Who is it! Who is it? If you have the ability, come out for me! Is it fun to play with me behind my back?"
The yard was silent for a long time, and my shadow was pulled long under the bright moon in the sky.
From time to time, cicadas would sound on the branches next to me, as if even they were laughing at my incompetence and helplessness.
I stood in the yard for a long time and calmed down my restless heart. I took a deep breath and walked back to the house decadently. The package was thrown to the ground by me and it was not deformed or damaged. I was stunned for a while and I bent down again to pick up the package and walked into the house, closing the door.
Sitting on the stool, my eyes were staring at the package. The address of the express delivery form was written by the computer, but there was no change. However, I knew that the package did not belong to somewhere in western Sichuan, and the place that really belonged was actually Fengdu City in the underworld.
What should I do? Do I really want to deliver this express to Fengdu City?
I don’t know if I can deliver it or not, and I don’t know if there is any other way, but I only know if I send it there, I probably will explain it there. If I don’t deliver it, I’m afraid I will explain it here. The only difference is a matter of time.
Before his death, Uncle Chen's last wish was to send the package away. Uncle Chen would probably not be able to keep his eyes open for a day, or it might be that Uncle Chen would pester me for a day.
From this package that appeared inexplicably in front of my house tonight, I think it was the beginning.
After sitting in the room for a long time, a bold choice came to my mind.
This package is death, and it is death if it is not delivered. It is probably death if it is left alone. The only difference is probably a matter of time. Since this is the case, I cannot sit still and wait for death. I want to figure out all these things during this period.
The first is about the problem that I appeared in the purple bamboo forest.
Let’s put aside what Jiang Bo’s identity is. After contacting me, I found that Jiang Bo did not mean to harm me, which means that Jiang Bo’s words may not be fake.
Jiang Bo told me that the reason why I appeared in Zizhulin Community and delivered express delivery was not that I chose this job, but that this job was inexplicably chosen by me.
In other words, it is not only the purple bamboo forest that has problems, but also me! As for what the problem is and who created it all, I don’t know yet, but I think I will have an answer soon.
The second is the issue about the purple bamboo forest.
That sentence: You must leave Zizhulin Community before 6 o'clock, and don't meddle in other people's business in the community, and there is strangeness and anxiety everywhere.
Why do you have to leave Zizhulin Community before 6 o'clock? I don't know what the consequences will be if you don't leave. But I have seen a fact that I still remember the first time I asked Jiang Bo this question, Jiang Bo pointed to the gate of Zizhulin Community for me to open. It was originally an ordinary community gate, but when it appeared in my eyes, I didn't know when there was an extra wall.
There must be something wrong with this matter.
As for why you should not meddle in other people's business in the community, it is still an unsolved mystery, but I still believe that all of this will have an answer.
It is actually not difficult to figure out these two things. I clearly remember what Qin Dayou sat in the room and said to me before I went to work.
There were three couriers in charge of Zizhulin Community before. The first one was an uncle, but if he died, he would definitely have no chance. The second one was a young man who was not in his grade. Xin Hao was that nothing happened to this young man, but he was just crazy.
As for the third one, I don’t know, but in short, I can still know that the third courier is a girl.
Since all three of them have worked as couriers here, they must know something. If you want to figure out what is contained in it, I want to find out what they may have answered.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved in my heart. It seems that things have not reached the point where there is no way out.
It wasn't long before I felt relieved that I couldn't help but worry again.
Three couriers, one died and the other went crazy, and the other was left with unknown circumstances.
Needless to say, I definitely can't find the dead one. The crazy one is easy to find. It's probably possible to find it in a mental hospital, but it's useless to find it. How can I answer my question if I'm crazy? The remaining one is that girl. I'm thinking of asking Qin Dayou tomorrow morning.
As for the package left by Uncle Chen, I temporarily put it in the house. I thought that no matter where I lost it, I would definitely come back. It would be better to put it in the house. Of course, I also thought of destroying the package directly, but if this happens, I may not be able to protect myself.
After a moment of sniffing on the bed, it became dawn outside. I had to get up earlier than him if I had something to do with Qin Dayou. I got up and washed up easily. I went out to buy some buns or something.
When I came back, I happened to see Qin Dayou washing his face outside.
Seeing me coming back with a bun, Qin Dayou immediately laughed.
During the meal, Qin Dayou probably noticed that my eyes were black, so he asked curiously: "What did you do last night?"
I thought to myself that Dayou Qin was really dead when he fell asleep. He didn't hear me shouting so loudly in the yard last night.
I casually found an excuse to make excuses, and then asked casually: "I remember when I first came, you told me that there were three people in charge of the Zizhu Forest. Something happened to both of them in front of me. What about the third one?"
When I was talking, I paid attention to Qin Dayou's expression and found that his face was a little unnatural: "You're so proud of yourself, why are you doing this?"
"When I was delivering the courier, I heard that the courier was a woman. Could it be that the third courier was really a woman?" I looked at Qin Dayou curiously.
Qin Dayou didn't plan to hide it from me, and nodded and said to me, "It's indeed a woman, but there's nothing I can do..."
I knew it was a little bad when I heard him, so I quickly asked him what he meant.
"The third courier is indeed a woman, but she disappeared after less than a week of work..." Qin Dayou shook his head regretfully, took a bite of the bun, and hesitated and said: "The woman disappeared in the community. Brother Zhou knew about this and called the police directly. After the police came, he searched the Zizhulin community from house to house. The surveillance video was retrieved, but nothing was discovered. He said that a three donkey was left at the scene. No one knew where the girl went. Until now, the police had not found anyone..."
I looked at Qin Dayou with lingering fear and said, "Those three donkeys... can't they be the one I drove, right?"
"That's that." Qin Dayou nodded, and before he could finish his words, he looked up at me and smiled, "Those three donkeys are nothing, don't care too much."
Of course I won’t care about the three donkeys. To be honest, I drove the three donkeys quite normally.
What I care about is the last courier. I originally planned to start from this girl, but now it seems completely impossible.
Previously, three couriers, one died, one was injured, and the other disappeared directly.
Before I joined the company, I thought that all this was a coincidence, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
After dinner, Qin Dayou was about to go to work, and I had to wait until 1:00 in the afternoon before I could pass. Looking at Qin Dayou's back, I suddenly thought of something and called him before Qin Dayou left.
"I suddenly remembered something. The second courier was the young man who entered the mental hospital. What was his name? Zhang... What was Zhang?" I frowned and thought for a while, but didn't say anything.
Seeing that I was talking hard, Qin Dayou interrupted me with a smile and said, "He is not Zhang, but Cai, and is called Cai Shanquan."
"Oh, I thought my surname was Zhang." Naturally, I didn't know what that guy was named. The reason I said this was just to make things happen for Qin Dayou's words. He would definitely be suspicious when asked in front of him.
Qin Dayou looked at me curiously: "Oh, why are you asking him what he is doing?"
"It's nothing. An old man from Zizhulin said he liked that young man very much, and asked me how that young man was doing." I made up a reason casually.
Fortunately, Qin Dayou didn't ask much, and turned around and left the rental house.
After watching Qin Dayou leave, I continued to eat buns and pickles slowly. After more than ten minutes, I finished eating slowly. I looked at my watch and found that it was already 9:30 and the store is now at work.
I didn't hesitate much, and went back to the room to change my clothes and left the rental house.
Qin Dayou has already said that Cai Shanquan was already crazy in less than three days in charge of the express delivery in Zizhulin Community. Since he was crazy, he must be in the neurosurgery hospital now, and I don’t need to inquire more, because there is only one mental hospital in the whole city, and Cai Shanquan might be locked up there.
The mental hospital is relatively remote, in the suburbs, and the place I live is also close to the suburbs, not far from the mental hospital. When I went out, I stopped a taxi on the side of the road and rushed directly to the mental hospital.
The driver's buddy knew I was going to the mental hospital and thought I was going to visit the patient. She stopped in front of the fruit stall on the side of the road and asked me carefully: "Brother, if you visit the patient, buy some fruit?"
I thought I didn't know Cai Shanquan, so I rashly looked for him and asked about it, so I definitely couldn't go empty-handed. I nodded to the driver, thanked him, and got out of the car and bought some fruits at will.
After five or six minutes, the taxi slowly stopped at the entrance of the mental hospital.
Anyone who knows the mental hospital will think it is gloomy and terrifying inside, and you can hear heart-wrenching screams everywhere, but in fact this is not the case.
What is the mental hospital doing? Isn’t it to take care of and treat mental patients? In this way, the appearance must be natural and peaceful on the surface. If the patient’s family knows that the patient’s patient is in a gloomy and terrifying mental hospital, who would be willing?
This mental hospital is the only mental hospital in the city. Its appearance is actually not worse than that of ordinary hospitals. On the contrary, the scenery is much better than that of ordinary hospitals.
To visit patients in a mental hospital, you need to go to the security department to register. Only after you have registered can you enter.
Two security guards sat in the security room. When they saw me coming in with fruits, they asked me what I did.
Although I am quite honest, I still understand the common ways of the world. When I left, I had already prepared cigarettes. When I saw the security guard ask me, I quickly took out the cigarette box and dispersed a few cigarettes.
Seeing them smoking my cigarette, I squinted and said, "Brother, I'm here to visit the patient." He raised the fruit in his hand.
"Which patient is visiting? What's the name?" The few people who took my cigarette did not continue to act. They smiled and fiddled with the mouse to ask.
I said without thinking: "I'm Cai Shanquan, I'm his classmate."
"Cai Shanquan?" The security guard was stunned.
Seeing this situation, I felt nervous and asked calmly: "What's wrong, buddy. What's the problem?"
I thought it was impossible for me to have a problem. Qin Dayou told my buddy that was Cai Shanquan. If there was a problem, it means that what Qin Dayou told me was a pseudonym.
"No problem." The security guard waved his hand and smiled, "I just saw Cai Shanquan, and he was also his classmate. I wonder why you came in groups when you visited the patients, haha."
Someone else came to visit Cai Shanquan? He was also his classmate?#####
