Chapter 253: Rental Strange Stories
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked away from the window and focused on the driver for the first time, looking through the rearview mirror.
"How to say it?"
The driver swallowed subconsciously. This area was relatively desolate, but the road was relatively straight and there were few forks, so it was easier to walk. He didn't have to worry too much about a car jumping out of nowhere.
Glancing at the rearview mirror, the driver lowered his voice and said, "You are from out of town, so you may not know very well. There has been some unrest in Rongcheng recently."
"In the recent period, several people have disappeared. No one is alive or dead, and their bodies are not found. It scares people to death." The driver said with lingering fear.
Not hearing the reply from the two, he kept to himself and said: "I have a friend's child who works in the bureau." He licked his lips and gestured: "You know what's going on in the bureau? According to him, His son has been busy for a while and has been unable to return home. Everyone’s vacation there has been cancelled, and some people in other places are hurrying back.”
The rental industry is relatively well-informed due to its unique nature.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes changed slightly, and so did Fatty's. Both of them couldn't help but think of the nightmare mission.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng also thought of what the police officer who was driving said to the female police officer in the office.
The two just happened to be confirmed at the moment.
"Why did you disappear?" Jiang Cheng showed a more interested attitude. He leaned closer and spoke in a different tone than before.
There was mostly curiosity in his eyes, and even a little bit of fear.
Because there were more doctor scenes, Fatty didn't do much of them and just sat there quietly as a backdrop.
The driver's interest became even more intense when he heard someone chiming in. He whispered mysteriously, "How do we know the details? I heard that the bureau doesn't have a clue."
"But I heard that they all disappeared at night." He paused, as if he thought of a particularly terrifying scene, and his tone became weird. "What's even weirder is that some of them were sleeping at home at night, but they didn't show up the next day. People disappeared early in the morning. Would you say it’s scary?”
"And besides, there are other people at home!"
"What the hell is wrong!" The driver turned the steering wheel fiercely, and the vehicle entered a side road. From here, it seemed that we could get closer.
"Isn't it too exaggerated?" Jiang Cheng said: "As soon as this kind of thing spreads, it will become very exaggerated. It may not be a big deal at first, but in the end it spreads."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the driver, "Little brother," the driver, who was not much older than Jiang Cheng, suddenly lowered his voice, "If the previous things were all hearsay, then this matter can be It's absolutely true.
"Our driver formed a group in order to make it easier for us to run around. A few of our friends who usually play well are in it. There must be dozens of people in it." He became a little nervous inexplicably, and the driver's voice also lowered, " One of them, a big brother in his early 40s, also had an accident. "
"Missing?"
"Yes," the driver nodded, "just three nights ago."
"He normally works the night shift, but that day he went out to play mahjong with others for a long time, and he couldn't keep an eye on him at night. It was probably around 12 o'clock, so he wanted to find a place to park and rest for a while."
"Actually, I just squinted for a while," the driver explained: "But something happened after I squinted and the person disappeared."
"How do you know he disappeared because of his sleep?" Jiang Cheng thought for a while and asked.
He didn't mean to find fault, he simply felt that there was a flaw in the driver's words. According to what the driver said, the missing driver should have happened when he was alone.
So how did he know?
Especially when it's so clear?
"Alas!" The driver sighed and said with some annoyance: "We just get together to play mahjong during the day. Like him, I both work the night shift. There was a shortage of people that day, so I..."
At this point, the driver seemed to suddenly think of something. His eyes flashed and he immediately changed his mind and said, "No, no, it's him. He pulled me in."
After realizing that neither of the two passengers in the back seat behaved strangely, he calmed down and continued: "It was almost 6 p.m. after we left that day. We went to have a meal first, and then we came out together. Pull live.”
"We had the intercom on the road and kept chatting, which was kind of a way to cheer each other up. As you know, in our industry, we deal with cars every day. As long as we are running on the road, everyone in the family will be worried about them. ”
"It turned out to be around 12 o'clock," he thought for a moment, then continued to confirm, "Yes, it was around 12 o'clock, because I often heard a radio channel start, and I remember it very clearly."
"It just so happened that he said he was tired at that time, and then I persuaded him to go home early and rest. But he disagreed and said that he was going out for a trip and couldn't just accept the car without making enough gas money."
"So he told me that he wanted to find a place to squint for a while, a little off the beaten path, at least somewhere that wouldn't be caught by surveillance cameras. After a while, he said he found it, behind a dumpling restaurant."
"Then he happily told me that the location here is good and quiet, and no one cares about anything. After hearing what he said, I asked him to send me the location. I might use it in the future. ”
"He also made an appointment with me, saying that I would call him in an hour. At that time, the customers at the entrance of the bar and the barbecue restaurant were just coming out, so business was relatively good," he said.
"My business was good during that period, so when I remembered him, almost two hours had passed. I hurriedly called him, but the call was connected, but no one answered."
"I thought he was sleeping too deeply, so I didn't take it seriously. After a while, I just picked up a customer and got off near the location he sent, so I went to find him."
At this point, the driver suddenly stopped talking.
The fat man was just listening to the excitement, but he didn't dare to rush the doctor because the doctor didn't express his opinion.
"Hu——" Letting out a long breath, the driver slowly slowed down the speed, as if to buffer himself.
"But when I got there, the car was empty," he paused, "he wasn't in the car."
"At first, I thought he got off the car to go to the bathroom, so I stood next to his car and called him again, but his phone rang in the car, right in his driver's seat, and the screen was on!" His breathing began to become rapid. Putting himself in his shoes, the fat man also felt a little weird.
"What happened next?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I subconsciously reached out to pull his car door, and found that it was locked," he said after a moment, "but this is not normal. There is nothing to block the view and it is very desolate. How could he leave his phone behind and walk away alone?"
