When Gao seriously returned to the room, the person on the bed was already asleep.The fan on the bedside table creaked. Officer Gao stared at the fan. After a while, he pinched the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and flicked it out of the window. After 10 minutes, the fan was removed by him.

Zhang Lin was awakened by the heat, he scratched his neck.Turning over, the wooden bed creaked, and Officer Gao stopped his movements.

Zhang Lin didn't even open his eyes, and his voice was vague: "Officer Gao, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?"

Gao Yan said, "The fan is very noisy."

Zhang Lin felt that the breath he exhaled was hot, and he said, "It's okay to be noisy, it's okay."

Gao Yan thinks it's nothing to hinder you, I feel upset.After a while, the fan was reinstalled, the noise disappeared, and Officer Gao lay down and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Lin woke up first. He looked at the man next to him who was breathing deeply, and reached for the cell phone beside his pillow.

"What are you doing?"

The person's eyes were not opened, and he didn't know how he noticed it.

Zhang Lin withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "I want to see the photo of the female corpse last night."

Only then did Gao Yan open his eyes, and the two of them sat on the bed looking through the photos on their mobile phone, including the autopsy results, which said they died by drowning.Zhang Lin looked at the photo: "It's her, that's right. She came to buy jelly. That morning, she and her companions, the driver was a young man wearing glasses. They came to ask the way and how far it was to the top of the mountain. I They said it would take more than 40 minutes to walk. They came out around noon and said they were going the wrong way.”

"Then one time, I saw their car on the road again, and their car entered those villas."

Zhang Lin frowned: "Officer Gao, there is something wrong with that villa, why don't you go in and check it out."

Gao Yan didn't say anything.He put his phone away, and he said, "Don't worry about these things, the police will deal with them."

Zhang Lin said oh.

Gao Yan listened to his insincere answer, and looked at him seriously: "Including your sister's disappearance, just listen to me and leave it alone, okay?"

Zhang Lin sat by the bed looking for slippers, and said, "I don't care, haven't all the diaries been handed in."

Gao Yan squinted at him: "I don't care? I don't care what kind of hole you dig in the vegetable field in the middle of the night."

Zhang Lin said, "Officer Gao, can you stop following me?" and walked out of the room.

……

Two days later in the afternoon, Zhang Lin received a call from Gao Yan asking him to go to the police station outside.Zhang Lin spoke to Jiang Jianping.Jiang Jianping asked a few more questions about what the police station wanted him for.

Zhang Lin said he didn't know, and he went out on a newly repaired bicycle.

On the way, I met Xu Xiaobo and a girl with a ponytail. The two were walking together, talking and laughing. The atmosphere between them was completely different from what I saw before.Zhang Lin greeted them, the girl turned her head and smiled, "Boss, where are you going?"

Zhang Lin said, "Go to the police station outside."

Xu Xiaobo didn't speak. He coughed and touched the hand of the girl with ponytail. The girl shook his hand back generously and waved to Zhang Lin who was walking on a bicycle.

Zhang Lin said goodbye and rode away.

It's been so long since Zhang Lin came out of the development zone for the first time.Every time the farthest thing is to pick up the courier at the guard box at the entrance, walking all the way down, there are mountains, forests and fields on the right, and a military base on the left.The walls are high, and only the sound of training slogans can be heard.

After walking for about 20 minutes, Zhang Lin was cornered at the first fork in the road.

He took out his mobile phone and called Gao Yan: "I don't know how to get to the police station."

The other end was silent for a while, said to wait, and hung up the phone. Ten minutes later, a police car pulled over and stopped. The youngest poked his head out of the car, and his eyes were teasing: "Boss asked me to pick you up."

Zhang Lin didn't know what his eyes meant. When he followed Lao San into the Public Security Bureau, he quickly followed Lao San and asked in a low voice, "What are they looking at?"

The third child: "The captain asked me to pick you up. They thought it was someone to pick up Captain Gao."

Zhang Lin: "..."

Are you people in the police force too gossip?

Only when Zhang Lin saw the young man wearing glasses did he understand what he was called for.

Through the glass, Gao Yan pointed to the person inside and asked: "Is this the person you saw the other day going into the mountain with the woman in the photo?"

Zhang Lin: "It's him."

It looked like an interrogation room, and two police officers sat opposite the young man with glasses and asked questions while recording.Zhang Lin couldn't hear what they said.He stood beside him for a while, Gao Yan suddenly looked over: "Why is your face so ugly?"

Zhang Lin: "A little motion sickness."

Zhang Lin himself does not suffer from motion sickness, but Jiang Xiaofei suffers from severe motion sickness.When he just arrived, the third car was driving very fast, and a section of the road happened to be under construction, and Zhang Lin was almost thrown up.

Gao Yan didn't say anything, and after a while, he brought someone into the office and poured him a cup of hot water.

Zhang Lin said: "It's so hot, I want to drink ice."

Gao Yan: "Drink something iced, your face is as pale as a ghost."

Zhang Lin drank the hot water obediently, and his brow was covered with sweat. A female police officer came in to deliver the materials, and when she heard that he was motion sick, she gave him a handful of mints.Zhang Lin peeled one and held it in his mouth. The cool sweetness spread in his mouth, and he felt better in his stomach.

They had a meal at a restaurant outside at noon, and after a while, they went into the mountain together.Gao Yan always drove fast. This time he drove very slowly and steadily. The stable youngest sat behind him and yawned several times, almost falling asleep.

In the afternoon, a few policemen asked people one by one in several households in the mountain for questioning, and made records while they were questioning.Police officer Gao and the third child were nowhere to be seen. Zhang Lin sat in front of the stall, swiping his phone while listening to the discussions of the tourists.

"Longtan is really evil, and a few lives are always taken away every day."

"Let me tell you, those people are looking for death on their own. Who doesn't know that Longtan is bottomless, and dare to play. It's not looking for death."

"You can't say that. There are so many people playing in Longtan every day. Why do you just take their lives? It was the Dragon Lord who picked people to take them."

"I think so, it's the Dragon King's meaning."

They are still talking about the drowning of people in Tianlongtan a few days ago, and the direction of the talk is superstitious.

Zhang Lin waved a small flag to drive away the flies that flew over. He felt that the nature of the girl's drowning was completely different from that of the two swimmers. If she went swimming, there should be at least one of them. Companions above.Now some people in the mountains superstitiously think that it was the Dragon King who took him in, and some people think it was a swimming accident.

Several police officers brought by Gao Yan went all over the mountain to make records, and all they heard was this, and they basically couldn't find any useful information.

Zhang Lin turned on the screen of his phone, but the signal was still circling. While waiting, he thought, someone brought the rhythm to superstition in an attempt to interfere with the police's investigation.

The signal on the phone finished spinning, and the picture that Zhang Lin clicked on 5 minutes ago slowly appeared.In the morning, when he was browsing Weibo in Gao Yan's office at the police station, he saw a reposted photo of a bird. He glanced over it in a hurry, and just sat down and suddenly remembered that a picture looked familiar.

Zhang Lin looked at the picture he opened, it was a bird's nest, a few birds with eyes closed, begging to be fed with their mouths wide open, looking cute and naive.

Zhang Lin clicked on that Weibo, and the source was a certain bird forum.

Clicking into the bird photography forum, Zhang Lin found a post full of high-definition bird photography.There are a lot of them, and when combined, it is clear that they were shot in Oak Mountain.

Zhang Lin remembered the nonsense he made up on the tree that day. At that time, he didn't think that there were actually people who were watching and photographing birds in the mountains.This coincidence... Zhang Lin shook his head. There are many rare birds in Oak Mountain. It is normal for photography enthusiasts to come here to take pictures.

Zhang Lin finished flipping through a post, and clicked on the avatar of the person who created the post, a cartoon character wearing glasses.

Someone came to buy honey, Zhang Lin lost his thoughts and put down his phone.

The sun is slowly going down and it is not so hot.Zhang Lin helped the eldest sister to harvest all the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and the vegetables and radishes were piled up on the ground.Jiang Jianping said: "Xiao Fei, you can give some to Uncle Xu of the reservoir, there is more than enough to eat."

Zhang Lin agreed, and took a bag to pack some snow peas, celery, lettuce, and he went to the reservoir with a half-snakeskin bag.

Uncle Xu was weaving baskets in the yard, a skill that only the older generation had. Zhang Lin went in to say hello to him, saying that the family's vegetable field was going to build a house.

Uncle Xu accepted it with a smile. They have been old neighbors for many years, and they would never refuse to order food from each other.

Zhang Lin saw Xu Xiaobo fishing by the reservoir, and a girl stood beside him.Zhang Lin said, "Uncle Xu, Xiaobo is looking for a girlfriend."

Uncle Xu pulled a bamboo raft tight, and looked at his grandson with smiles on his back: "Xiao Fei, you are not young anymore, it's time to find one."

Zhang Liner didn't want to continue this topic, so he chatted about other gossip and left.

That night, Zhang Lin and Gao Yan fell asleep at the same time. At night, the fan he had set for the time stopped, Zhang Lin woke up hot, and there was no one around.It has been like this for the past few days, Gao Yan disappears in the middle of the night, and will return in an hour or two.Zhang Lin fumbled under the pillow and took out his mobile phone to check the time. According to the pattern of the previous two nights, this person would be back in 10 minutes.

Zhang Lin didn't turn on the fan, turned over and waited. 10 minutes passed, Zhang Lin frowned, he got up and sat for a while, there was water rushing in the night in the mountains; birds chirped from time to time, there were only these two sounds, but it seemed more and more silent.

Zhang Lin looked at it with his mobile phone. After 10 minutes passed, he couldn't sit still.

He got up and got out of bed and opened the half-hidden door, and a tall figure appeared outside.Zhang Lin was taken aback by 'hoo'.

"It's me." Gao Yan's voice.

Zhang Lin pulled him into the room: "Why did you come back now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lin wanted to slap himself on the forehead, saying that he had slipped up.The room was very quiet. After a while, Gao Yan said, "You know I'm going out, and you know when I'll be back?"

After a while he jokingly said: "So anxious, worried about me?"

Zhang Lin: "Yes, I am worried about you."

Officer Gao fell silent.

Zhang Lin fumbled for the switch, and with a 'click', the light turned on.He looked back and saw that the hem of Officer Gao's clothes was wet and dark red.

Zhang Lin panicked: "What's wrong with you?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and violently lifted his clothes up, aiming at the strong abdominal muscles of the high police officer, without any wounds on them.

Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his head to meet a pair of dull eyes.
