Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

On this ordinary noon on September 8th, from the moment I inadvertently met the boy Eugene, the thick fog of the old money tooth wheel curse incident, which originally seemed chaotic, broke through the first opening. For Krys and me, who were involved in regular detective cases for the first time, it was like stepping into a whole new field. It was as shocking as when I first heard that there were other worlds besides the dark world. seems to be a simple visit, but the three generations of national detectives in front of him, the old, middle-aged and young people, are not weaker than handling cases. The rigor and logical reasoning of the argument are impeccable. What is even more commendable is that others investigate cases to cope with errands and have wages to pay, but this group of people is self-funded, and the energy and material resources invested are beyond imagination.

"I didn't expect that on the first day, we would find so many clues, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Krys excitedly followed the three men, marching merrily ahead, leaving me and the medic far behind, shouting excitedly as he went.

"Well, the feeling of being on the ground for the first time is amazing. But, little girl, I need to pour some cold water on you now. The coach relaxed his muscles and replied: "Just because it is the first day, you feel that if you have collected clues, you will have the illusion that maybe the case will be solved the next day." But that's all untrue, and many unsolved cases, which are still unsolved, often felt the same way by the police within a few days or a week at the beginning of the investigation, but in the end they all went around to a dead end, and every clue was cut off. "

"Yes, don't be complacent. In fact, the real crime detection rate in the United States will not exceed 65% throughout the year, which is of course much more efficient than that in Europe, but after all, nearly 30% of the cases have not been solved. About 12% of them will be postponed, and when they are really cracked, it is often ten or twenty years later. He glanced back at me and asked, "Did you two quarrel? Did he beat you? Why don't you say anything with a straight face?"

"No, how could you think that? We're not lovers, I'm his eldest brother's girlfriend. Krys pursed his lips and snickered, gesturing to his face, and said, "It was when I first entered the tunnel, I staggered and didn't pay attention to my feet. "

"You see, if you continue to hesitate, the opportunity will soon be missed. The military doctor, smoking his pipe, saw that I was displeased, and said, "In this case, I will tell you a story." There are a group of people who are trapped in the mountains for some reason, they can't find their way out, and the biscuits are gradually being eaten, and winter is coming. So, what would happen if you were one of them?".

"Generally speaking, after eating miscellaneous grains, you should naturally learn to hunt and catch fish and hoard them, just like this black child. "

"The truth is usually not as easy as you think, people are the weakest of the weak in nature, and the long-term settled life pattern and social structure make people completely unsuitable for surviving in the wilderness. Without weapons, even if the Marinecrops were put into that environment, it would be difficult to survive the winter. The doctor patted me on the shoulder and sighed, "They will get lost, and then they will go to a cave near the water source, store firewood, and then hunt, and soon the food will be distributed." Then, they lie down and sleep all day, and not exercising greatly reduces calorie expenditure, but their legs and feet gradually freeze to the point of having to be amputated. "

"Boss, I'm just a repeater, I haven't studied medicine, how can I understand so much?

"You'll understand. The medic folded the tree, waved it in his hand, and said, "Then they will eat their dead companions, and then they will masse the one who is the sickest, and finally they will draw any one to slaughter." Don't you think this kind of thing is unreasonable? The millennium is about to enter and it should not happen? In fact, no matter what the century, people will probably do whatever it takes to make a living, trying to survive. When all these crimes have been committed, they gradually have faith, and at the last moment, you would never have imagined that humanity has returned again. It's like a cycle, and what people need is self-salvation. Why do I know? You're a good question, because I was the unlucky guy who was trapped in the jungle for more than half a year. "

"Could it be that you have also eaten the flesh of dead people?

"Human beings have been experiencing pain since the moment they were born. Newborns are soaked in amniotic fluid and are not used to breathing with their lungs. When they are separated from their mothers, the first breath of air they pour into them is as painful as fire, which is why they will croak. Your story is thought-provoking, but I think it's better to persuade you to look away from it with someone who has come before. Feelings are such a thing that cannot be contained, and whoever you like, follow your nature. If the other party doesn't have you in their hearts, they will naturally refuse. Then you immediately become a lot easier. Love itself is sinless. The doctor threw the tree, took out his wallet from his pocket, showed me one of the old photos, and said, "I ate it, and when the plane was shot down, no one thought we would survive, so the search was withdrawn." From more than a dozen people to the last four people who ran out of the dense forest, we ate everything we could see. Because of this, the rest of the people committed suicide a few years later, and I am the only one who is still alive, and the only reason for my existence is to commemorate us and not be forgotten. "

As he spoke, the child was crawling up the slope with his hands and feet, rummaging in the grass, and after a while, he raised a piece of paper covered with feces at us, saying that the current land was a green miracle. It turned out that Eugene came here to catch beetles a month and a half ago, and he felt abdominal pain while playing, so he squatted down and began to poop. Soon after, a hare came out of a nearby mound and brought up a piece of paper, which he used to rub his buttocks. So I've seen casino tickets, and that's how they came about.

"It was in this position that day that I wondered, how could there be butt wiping paper in the soil, so I went to planing it with my hands, and then I saw a house-like place with a pile of paper like this against the wall. He led us around and around to the slope, pointed to a pit the size of a hedgehog hole at our feet, and said that this was it. Just as we were looking around for something to break the ground, we heard a shot in the distance, and when we looked down, we saw a man with an angry face aiming at us with a rifle.

"What do you want to do with you sneaky guys, screw my boy?" the man asked, pulling the bolt.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be Eugene's father, and when he saw that the village dog came back alone, he ran out of the door to look, and soon saw that we were climbing, and mistakenly thought that he wanted to kidnap his precious son, so he rode a motorcycle to chase after him. We had to spread our hands in embarrassment to let him know that he wasn't carrying any weapons, and it took a lot of effort to explain. The military doctor took out a hundred dollars and counted it as the hard money of the black child. After the two sides lifted the hostility, everyone asked the man if he could borrow a coal shovel from the oil and gas station, and he spread his hands and replied no.

"There was originally a mine in this ghost place, called Jiming Station, which was closed around 50 years after a landslide killed people, and that's about it. Because the black child was crying and making trouble, instead of pestering the military doctor to fulfill his promise to take him fishing, the group had to follow the man to the oil and gas station, ask him to buy a case of beer, sit down, and start to inquire about the mining disaster. The man responded half-heartedly, his eyes fixed on the child in front of the pond, looking impatient, and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

We had to explain the fact that the old money had been lost in the tunnel, and took the invitation ticket, and then showed him the piece of paper.

"Well, it's the first time that when the station was hot, the gift certificates issued by others were all buried under the pile of soil. Sometimes badgers and hares will bring some out when they burrow. Fortunately, your friend was drunk at Hei Fengkou and didn't follow, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go back to North Carolina. The man raised his neck, drank to the sky, and said, "There are a gang of thieves around here, and they are very bad." The ice cream truck has an operating table in it, and after tricking people into a ravine for anesthesia, they have gone under knife, and several of them have died, and all their organs are gone. I don't know if this group of people has been caught now. "

"Why is this place called Jiming Station?" the lock box couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck, and he was uncomfortable and had nothing to say.

"That refers to the mouth of the black maple, this cave in the dead of night, when walking through the night road, you will hear a strange sound of chattering, as if it is close at hand, but it is completely invisible, this is how the name comes from. It's all nonsense anyway, I've never heard of it. When the man saw that we were not leaving after drinking, he became more and more sluggish, and he only shouted out to roll over.

"Last question, let's go right away. The coach hurriedly got up, urged us to go back, and asked, "Suppose I want to know the cause of the mining accident at the station, and how to go before and after, where can I find information?" or is there a memorial hall set up specifically for it?"

"Go to Peachtree Corner and find a company called Burning Sky Heavy Industries, the Indian boss. It's really full, and some people will pay attention to this hellish place, and Lao Tzu will quit next month. After the man finished speaking, he beckoned Eugene to come back, locked the barbed wire fence and went to the house.

On the way back, the three national detectives began to assign tasks, and the military doctor said that he would use his mobile phone as an information center, and he would be responsible for typing and sorting out clues on his laptop, and then let the coach be the captain of a detachment to fight the burning sky. Then there was a second team leader to organize the labor force to go to the mountain at night. Finally, immediately ask the four-eyed woman to go to Atlanta to ask for a relationship, so that the strips don't come to harass. After the distribution was completed, the other two got the order, and immediately disappeared in an instant like rats in the field.

This kind of work efficiency is simply breathtaking, although I also think that they are out-and-out neurotics like the men of the oil and gas station, but I still give a thumbs up, and secretly praise in my heart, with the assistance of these national detectives, it is simply like a tiger with wings.

The overhead slowly darkened, and we began to step into the darkness, and then into the Black Maple Tunnel. The fear that had only been dissipated for a long time returned to his face again. I hesitated, looking at the ends of the cave wall from time to time, and fine beads of sweat broke out in my palms. Krys also looked a little nervous, she had been knocked down not far away, and then witnessed me yelling like an evil man.

When I actually returned to the middle of the tunnel, I didn't feel anything, and the strange sounds that had appeared in my ears were replaced by the strange cries of toads everywhere, and they seemed to be blown back and forth by the mountain wind, drifting away without a trace. At first, Krys was worried that I would suddenly go berserk and hurt people, so he was walking quickly with the medic in his arms, but when he ran a few dozen meters away, he found that there was silence behind him, and he couldn't help but look back.

"Eh, is this strange?" I plucked out my ears vigorously, turned on the flashlight, looked left and right, and asked, "Is it an auditory hallucination?"

When they saw that I was all right, they slowed down and took a walk around the area. The military doctor said that we need to buy headlights, and it is easy to miss many details with flashlights alone, and maybe there will be more items left by others at the end of the darkness. As I walked, I quickly exited the tunnel and came to their parked car.

He said he didn't want to go back to the hotel yet, so I continued to walk with him. Krys waved to the medic and told him to go about herself, and she felt uncomfortable when I was down. The old man climbed into the car and started the engine, and walked away in the bumps.

"Eh, what's going on with this Lin Rui?" I looked at my phone and muttered alone, "Why haven't you come back after so long?"

"He's going to be busy today. Krys leaned over and asked, "You really have something to do with him, you can ask Marlowe to write it down first." "

Seeing that I was confused, she said that after seeing me angry at my glasses at first, she also called. In fact, he wasn't the only one waiting for Vans in front of the middle school, and when they got someone, they planned to go together to investigate an old building at a fork in the road a few miles away.

"What! The female soldier has already gone to Gibson?" I almost fainted when I heard that it was Charlie. The female soldier is a rough person, where does she come from to be vassal, will stay in Florida to relax? She had Lin Rui's contact information, deliberately broke the Ruddock razor in Jacksonville, and ran away to Glascok County alone.

"Marlowe originally wanted to tell you, but you hung up the phone before he could finish, Charlie actually arrived the day before yesterday. Ironically, Krys was still comforting me, saying, "I'm so relieved to have Charlie here." I've been to shooting galleries with her, and she's pretty good, and she's trained in martial arts, so even if it's dangerous, nothing will happen. "

"You listen to her bragging, I beat her like beating a child, maybe she can't beat you, so she will break her wrists more powerfully. "I felt the urge to rush to Gibson immediately, and as soon as I raised the phone, I slowly lowered my hand again. I seem to understand some of the words of the military doctor. In addition to his talk about cannibalism, what he really wants to say is to follow our own hearts, if we truly belong, even if there is a lot of chaos, we will not be separated. If the opposite is true, no amount of remedial treatment can be made.

A person like a national detective has seen too many such things in his life, and he doesn't know how many times he has experienced it. Even Krys, the person in question, sees this kind of thing very openly, and the only person who causes trouble is me. Since the emperors are not in a hurry, what are I jumping up and down as a eunuch? It seems that since I have returned from the phantom sun, I have become an emotional creature.

Lao Tzu is a beast-like man, and I secretly said to myself in my heart, just like this, I returned to the town.

"Huh?" Krys, who was walking in front, suddenly felt excited, frowned, and said, "Why is the white-collar here?".

Looking along the line of sight, sure enough, there were several large cars parked in front of the homestay, and some familiar faces were sitting under the parasols in front of the door. Old Dai had already returned, talking to the woman sitting opposite, and that person was Dixie, who had lost most of her news

Not only Krys, but even I wondered why Sister Di was a broadcaster from Charlotte Local Station, so why did she come to Georgia? Soon I noticed that the work gang did not come in their car, but a normal business tripod. Krys suddenly changed his face 180 degrees, and actually stepped forward with a smile, took the initiative to greet Uncle Hu Zi and others, and hugged each other with the white-collar in her mouth.

"They just happen to have a holiday, so let's talk. Lao Dai saw me standing on the side, looking at Sister Di in a daze, so he stood up quite gentlemanly, patted me on the shoulder and left.

There is hot tea in a large pot, freshly ground coffee, and scrambled eggs and sausages sizzling on the stove. Looking up at the bread, toast and the fish steak poured with honeydew, she was looking at me and smiling, and I noticed that Sister Di was not wearing that kind of very work clothes, but ordinary casual clothes, a pair of sneakers, and she looked like she was going out to go hiking.

"I've brought you a piece of your forgotten bag. She pouted at a black bag beside her and said, "And AC's necklace." "

I remember that today was supposed to be Monday, didn't she have to go to work? She came to Georgia just to deliver her bag? Even if she was very idle, why did she bring Uncle Beard, Agay, and Sister Braces with her? They were not relatives but the same news team. But, whatever reason they came, Dixie's presence finally calmed my irritable heart.

"Eh, there's a missing sturdy chick from last time. Uncle Beard stepped forward and whispered to her, and Dixie quickly ran to the side to listen to the phone. Seeing that I was staring at her back, Lott said that this was the vacation given to them by the station, because our business was like throwing a brick into a cesspool, which exploded in the national detective circle of North Carolina, and Charlotte was the largest proportion in the southern states, plus the residual heat of the secondary fruit core hotel had not yet passed, so let them do an interview. However, things can't be done too clearly, after all, this is a cross-state report, in order not to attract a cold from the media people here in Atlantic City, so it is arranged as a paid vacation, which is probably that.
