44. Chapter 44: Race against time(1/2)
I didn't know what Zhou Shun meant, but I pretended to be stupid and said: "Brother Zhou must have nothing to say to me. Not only did he pay me an advance, but he even paid more than others."
Zhou Shun nodded with a wry smile and said, "The place in Zizhulin is really evil. I don't know what the situation is inside. I'm telling you what I meant. The reason why I treat you so well is actually to keep you here and continue to deliver express delivery to Zizhulin, because no one except you are willing to do this job."
I thought to myself, you can just stop it, maybe you are thinking in your heart, you must know what the matter is there in Zizhulin.
This can only be muttered in my heart, and I can't say it on the surface.
I smiled and said to Zhou Shun: Brother Zhou, don’t worry, I will definitely continue to do the work in Zizhulin. Besides, where can I find such a high salary job besides you?
When I said this, I was crying. If I hadn't been a courier in Zizhu Forest for a while, I would have become a walking corpse without blood, shadow, and soul.
Zhou Shun patted my shoulder and said nothing, and started the car again.
Sitting in the car, I kept thinking about how to get the Jetta back. After thinking for a long time, I decided to call the Renjian Company and let the Renjian Company solve the problem.
The staff who returned to the express delivery store happened to come to work, and Zhou Shun asked me to go there if I had anything to do and come over at 1:00 in the afternoon.
I wanted to rent a company, so I left the express delivery store without refusing.
When I arrived at the rental company, I told the person in charge of the situation. Because the car broke down for no reason and had nothing to do with me, the person in charge immediately sent a staff member to the place I mentioned to find Jetta.
More than half an hour later, the person in charge told me that the car had been repaired and asked me if I would continue to rent it.
The car must continue to rent. After all, I have paid more than ten days of car rental, but Jetta must not be rented anymore. Not to mention the bad things that broke down for no reason, Zhou Shun already knows this car. If he uses this car to track Zhou Shun again, Zhou Shun will definitely find something wrong.
I told the person in charge that I would change a car, but the person in charge didn't say anything and took me outside to choose a car.
After choosing for a long time, I decided to rent the Volkswagen Passant.
Passant has improved more than one level than Jetta. Jetta also needs to step on the clutch gear, and Passant directly has automatic transmission. Of course, car rental costs are relatively much more expensive than Jetta.
I asked the person in charge to deduct Passant's corresponding rent from the previously paid car rental fee, and then drove Passant to leave the rental company.
When I went back to work, I still parked my car in the nearby parking lot and walked back to the express delivery store.
It happened to be one pm when Zhou Shun was not in the store, and there were only a few employees left in the store.
Maybe it was because I had been delivering express delivery in Zizhulin and nothing happened, so the employees smiled and nodded to me after seeing me.
I was not cold either, so I started chatting with them.
At around 1:00, the express company's truck came to deliver the goods, and after unloading the goods, we parted ways.
There are still not many express delivery in Zizhulin, and today there are only more than 40. I have no intention of working at all and am determined to know what secrets are hidden in the small western-style building.
The small foreign building is like a thorn in my heart at this moment, constantly provoking my heart, but no matter what, I just can't catch it and pull it out.
The express delivery was delivered at half past five, and what disappointed me was that there was no express delivery from Wu Niang in the more than 40 packages.
I couldn't help but mutter, was Wu Niang really gone?
I remember when I was delivering express delivery, there were Wu Niang’s express delivery almost every day, but after Wu Niang and I parted in the hotel, Wu Niang’s express delivery was no longer there.
The words "I don't have much time" left by Wu Niang before I left made me feel even more confused.
But I know that as soon as Fang Xiang comes back, I am not far from the real answer.
After work, I returned to Fang Xiang’s home and called Fang Xiang to ask when he would be back.
Fang Xiang told me to return to the city at 10 o'clock in the evening.
I hung up the phone and I was not going to follow Zhou Shun tonight. I would talk about it until ten o'clock before I came back.
I made a bowl of noodles for myself, and I sat on the sofa and stared at the TV while eating.
After watching seven or eight episodes of TV series, I took out my cell phone and looked at the time. I found that it was already 9:30 in the evening, and I came back in half an hour.
Not long after the phone was put down, it started to buzz.
I glanced at the number and felt a little shocked.
The phone number was called by Jiang Bo. Jiang Bo told me before that he would take the initiative to find me if he found a way to enter the small foreign building.
Now that Jiang Bo takes the initiative to look for me, he has found a way to enter the small foreign building.
I hesitated for a while and finally answered.
As soon as I connected, I heard Jiang Bo’s urgent voice: Alang, where are you? Come to the door of Xiangweiju to find me. I have found a way to enter the small western-style building. We will set off tonight, and this time we will definitely make sure it is correct!
I looked up at the clock in the living room, and it was half past nine.
I took a deep breath and hesitated to Uncle Jiang: Uncle Jiang, let’s not go today. Otherwise, it’s okay to wait after ten o’clock.
"No!" As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Bo interrupted me firmly: "Today I have to enter the small foreign building. I have found a way now, and I can't slow down for a moment. Otherwise, I might find a way to enter the small foreign building next time. I can't see you at the door of Xiangweiju before 10 o'clock, so don't come, I'll go by myself!"
After saying that, Jiang Bo hung up the phone without even giving me the time to react.
I held my cell phone and sat on the sofa and hesitated for a long time.
Jiang Bo said on the phone that he found a way to enter the small foreign building, but he had to act now and not be able to slow down for a moment, otherwise the opportunity might be lost. This is indeed the only opportunity for me, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But Fang Xiang will not be able to come back at 10 o'clock. If I and Uncle Jiang go over and Fang Xiang happens to find out that there is something wrong with Uncle Jiang, then I will be completely finished?
After carefully distinguishing the pros and cons in my heart, I gritted my teeth and picked up the car key and left Fang Xiangjia.
Now I can only choose to continue working with Jiang Bo.
The secret hidden in the small foreign building is about my life and death. No matter what, the small foreign building must be entered. Later, if Jiang Bo really had a problem, he had been lying to me or wanted to kill me, then he should have done it long ago, and there is no need to wait until now.
So I think the small foreign building is the most important.
When I went to the parking lot to pick up the car, I sent a text message to Fang Xiang on my mobile phone.
The text message said: After investigating the news about Jiang Bo’s granddaughter and Gu Chengyi, send me a text message, remember not to call.
After sending the text message, I adjusted my phone to mute it, and then drove to Xiangweiju in Passant.
It was exactly ten o'clock when I arrived at Xiangweiju. Before I got off the bus, I saw Jiang Bo standing alone at the door of Xiangweiju smoking.
The difference is that Jiang Bo is carrying a big black bag behind his back.
When I saw that bag, my first reaction was that he wouldn't want to dig a grave again, right?
Parked the car by the road, I opened the window and waved to Jiang Bo, and then called Jiang Bo.
Uncle Jiang was stunned when he saw me, probably because he found out that I had changed his car.
Waiting for Uncle Jiang to come, I got out of the car and opened the trunk. Uncle Jiang directly stuffed the black bag into the trunk, and then sat in the co-pilot.
I got into the car and turned my head to look at Jiang Bo, and found that Jiang Bo's body had returned to normal again, and it was no longer as shriveled as it was when we met last time.
Jiang Bo touched the car chair and said to me with a smile: OK, boy, change this car one a day.
I smiled bitterly and said: When I was following Zhou Shun last night, the car broke down and I went to change another car.
At the end, I hesitated for a moment and told Jiang Bo: Zhou Shun may have discovered that I was following him.
Jiang Bo shook his head indifferently and said: It's okay, after we solve the small foreign building tonight, you will be safe.
I nodded, then started the car and asked Jiang Bo: Jiang Bo, let’s go directly to the small foreign building now?
Jiang Bo shook his head at me and said, "Don't go to the small foreign building first, go to the mass grave first."
When I heard the three words "mass grave", I immediately started to curse.
"Bo Jiang, do you still have to dig a grave?" I asked with wide eyes.
Uncle Jiang smiled mysteriously at me: "I won't dig a grave tonight, I will set up a formation to the mass grave tonight and let the nursery rhyme girl 'go home'!"
I didn't understand what Jiang Bo means, but as long as I don't dig someone's grave.
I suddenly stopped the car halfway through the car. Jiang Bo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at me strangely and asked me what was wrong.
I frowned and said: Zhou Shun goes to the small foreign house every night. I didn’t follow him tonight. I don’t know whether he is still in the small foreign house or not. If we go to the mass grave, we will definitely pass through the small foreign house. By then, if Zhou Shun is still in the small foreign house, we will definitely run into him.
Jiang Bo thought for a while and thought what I said made sense, and then asked me: Do you still know the rest of the way to the mass grave?
I thought for a while, and my eyes lit up and said: I know one, but it's a bit far away.
Jiang Bo said: "It's not easy to be in a dangerous place. It doesn't matter if you have a car far away. Change the road to the mass grave."
I nodded and started the car again and continued to drive forward.
The reason for saying this is that, firstly, I am really worried that Zhou Shun has not left yet, secondly, I am trying to delay time and wait for Fang Xiang to send me a text message.
But I really know another way to mass graves, and I figured it out when I followed Zhou Shun.
Not long after, the car drove to three forks. I did not turn right, but drove directly forward.
When I drove out about a mile, there was a smaller dirt road next to me. I warned Jiang Bo to help him, and then turned the steering wheel toward the dirt road on the right.
The mud road was full of potholes, and the car was driving by, and waves of dust were raised. I closed all the windows of the car and turned on the high beam to make it easier to walk.
Because of the bumpy roads, I deliberately slowed down. I held the steering wheel with one hand and placed the other hand on my thigh to feel whether the phone in my pocket vibrates.
After driving forward for five or six minutes, I will reach the road, and even if I reach the mass grave, if I don’t send text messages on my phone, I can only ask for my own blessings.
Fortunately, before the car drove out of the dirt road, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated.
Because it was a vibration, Jiang Bo must have not heard it, only I could feel it. When I heard the vibration, my first reaction was that Fang wanted to send me a message, and then I stepped on the brake and stopped the car.
Jiang Bo, the co-pilot, asked me what was wrong.
I covered my crotch and drooped my face and said: I'm anxious to pee, let's solve it.
To be continued...
