Chapter 648 The Old Road (6)

Jones' suggestion undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention to Fu Qian.

However, looking at Cartman and the others with complicated eyes, Fu Qian nodded, indicating that he had no objection at all.

The reason he wasn't in a hurry to get into the car just now was because he had already realized this.

Jones wanted to keep himself under the radar, why didn't he want to know more information before paying.

It turned out that Jones not only dragged him into the car, but even arranged for him, the suspect, to sit next to the victim.

Looking at Harold who was looking over blankly, he looked forward to the meeting with no strange expression and said hello with a smile.

…

This scene naturally fell in Jones' eyes.

The next moment he looked away from the rearview mirror and looked out the window without saying a word.

In the eyes of the police chief, I am afraid that my hopelessness has reached another level.

Fu Qian sighed silently in his heart and followed his example and looked outside.

The young police officer who acted as the driver completely followed Jones's opinions and controlled the direction.

The route arranged by Jones couldn't be more obvious. After turning to a fast food restaurant, he walked almost all the way up the mountain.

interesting!

He didn't know how the people in the car behind were feeling, but he noticed that Mr. Harold looked a little unnatural.

There is another secret?

Jones seemed to have a slightly strange reaction to coming here.

Looking at the fast, narrow and winding road outside, a picture naturally emerged in Fu Qian's mind.

On the way up the mountain, in a corner where the view of passing vehicles was blocked, Mr. Harold quietly hid aside, waiting for his opportunity.

When a car passed by at sufficient speed, he used his hands to push out the unconscious person.

It's not a rare thing, but although husbands are often the number one killer of women, this one doesn't seem to be that courageous.

I didn't look much before paying because Sheriff Jones was already looking.

At this moment, this man was observing Harold's reaction out of the corner of his eye, with a hint of solemnity on his expression.

This is someone's own job, and it's not good to do it for someone else.

I don’t know if he felt this aura, but not long after he came out, the young police officer stopped telling cold jokes and drove with a serious face.

Finally, in the stiff atmosphere of the car, Jones gestured to the driver to keep slowing down until it came to a complete stop somewhere.

Looking at the heavy brake marks on the ground, Jones couldn't help but look back.

Unfortunately, he didn't see any panic about being caught on Fu Qian's face.

Not only that, the other party even opened the door and got out of the car very naturally.

"It's very heavy, has very new skid marks, and the visibility from this location is very poor."

It seemed that he didn't notice the change in Jones' expression at all, and Fu Qian was very devoted to playing the role of a volunteer.

"anything else?"

The Sheriff looked at him deeply.

"besides--"

Fu Qian turned his head and his eyes fell on somewhere beside him.

The vegetation in this area is quite dense, and visibly broken twigs can be seen somewhere on the roadside.

"Very well, let's wait for them to come up first."

Jones commented without saying much.

…

Finding that the car in front of them actually stopped here, Cartman and the others were obviously hesitant when they got out.

Even as he came closer, he couldn't help but look at the position Fu Qian pointed at just now.

After all, you are too young. Don’t feel guilty if you become a thief!

Although it is difficult to understand before paying, why the style of this story changes so quickly.

But there is no doubt that the performance of this group at this moment is very classic.

"Something suspicious was found."

Jones didn't give anyone much chance to think and went straight to the point, even glancing at Harold.

Obviously, if this is really the scene of the accident, why Mrs. Harold appeared here is undoubtedly a thought-provoking matter.

"We need to search nearby, come with me."

Even so, Jones did not make specific arrangements for the volunteers, but just walked ahead.

Keeping up was obviously the focus of his words, especially Fu Qian.

Although he performed like a gold medal volunteer, Jones made it clear that he didn't like Fu Qian's style and would never let him out of sight.

…

Going inward along the suspicious location, there is no road at all.

But among the dense forest leaves, Jones quickly squatted down and discovered the trampled plant again.

Following such traces, the group of people moved forward, and finally found special traces dozens of meters away from the roadside.

It was a small open space that looked like a collapsed tomb, and it must have been quite old.

However, at this moment, the tomb was covered with a long branch that had been folded down. What was important was that the traces were quite fresh.

"Young people are always impatient."

Jones snorted and gestured to the young police officer, asking him to remove the covering while paying attention to Fu Qian's reaction.

Unfortunately, he soon discovered that Fu Qian had an expectant look on his face, without any signs of panic.

On the contrary, the expressions on the faces of the group of people at the back were very exciting.

Looking back with some disappointment, Jones watched the branches and leaves being removed with a cold face.

"Nothing at all."

Unexpectedly, as the police officer removed most of the things on it, he was already shaking his head and reporting to Jones.

Empty indeed.

Jones was silent for a while as he watched the last layer of dead leaves being peeled away, revealing the silt that had accumulated for countless years.

Meanwhile, everyone else seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.

After being stunned for a long time, Jones came back to his senses and signaled the group to stand still and walked around the open space with some disbelief.

Unfortunately, it is regrettable that no other trace can be found except the direction from which it came.

For a moment, the man stood there, silent.

Fu Qian can still understand his mood.

Although mocking young people for their lack of patience, this seemingly rough treatment is already a pretty good response for a young man who encountered an accident.

If it weren't for an experienced person like Jones leading the team, it would be hard to imagine finding this place so quickly.

Even if I let myself take the role of Fu Qian, without understanding the surrounding environment, I don't think this is a bad choice.

However, in the end of all the suspicious things, there was no body as expected, not even a trace, which was really strange.

At the same time, what is difficult to understand is the behavior itself.

If the bodies had not been hidden, it would be difficult to imagine how the traces along the way were created.

Why spread suspicion? That would be too professional!

Even if Brother Harold pays to kill someone, such a dedicated killer is rare.

"Looks like we need more volunteers."

The next moment he spoke, he made a serious comment.
