After the convoy left the park, it headed toward the city.
You can get to Fancheng by taking the expressway on the edge of the city, which is where the incident occurred in Yishan.
The atmosphere in the car seemed a bit depressing. Whether it was Ye Zhiqiang sitting in the front or Zhao Qi sitting in the back, both had their own thoughts and no one spoke.
But just as the motorcade passed the edge of the city and passed through a small town, Zhao Qi's voice suddenly came from the back seat without warning.
"Stop a moment ahead."
The agent driving was suddenly a little unsure and looked at Ye Zhiqiang.
Ye Zhiqiang nodded first, then turned to look at Zhao Qi and asked:
"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?"
"Prepare something..."
After a simple reply, Zhao Qi opened the door and got out of the car. Ye Zhiqiang looked doubtfully in the direction of Zhao Qi, and then noticed that the motorcade was parked in front of a white goods shop.
There were two white lanterns hanging at the door with large "sacrificial" characters written on them. There were some paper objects placed on both sides of the door, and the air was filled with the smell of incense.
Zhao Qi walked towards the house minding his own business, not caring that Ye Zhiqiang was following behind him.
Ye Zhiqiang also consciously pointed the camera on his chest at Zhao Qi. After all, his task was to ensure that all Zhao Qi's actions were recorded at all times.
When Zhao Qi came to the house, the bald boss quickly greeted him.
"Young man, what do you want to buy?"
The boss was obviously a little surprised that such a young man appeared in his shop.
But after all, he was doing open-door business, so it was naturally impossible for the boss to show his emotions.
"Two pounds of paper money, three ounces of lard, one dollar of cinnabar, and a handful of sandalwood."
Zhao Qi told the boss what he needed one by one. To the naked eye, the boss looked a little surprised.
Generally speaking, not many young people patronize his shop, and those who come basically buy some paper goods.
Things like lard and cinnabar are rarely bought by people now.
"What do you want lard and cinnabar for, young man?"
The boss was a little confused about this, but Zhao Qi did not give any answer, but just urged the boss to prepare as soon as possible.
The confused boss could only mutter something in a low voice and entered the room.
There is no shortage of ordinary paper money and sandalwood in the store, but lard and cinnabar have long been out of stock.
Therefore, the boss quickly told Zhao Qi and others that he was going to go home to prepare and asked everyone to wait here, and then left the place in a hurry.
However, no one expected that the boss was gone for nearly half an hour, and he came back half an hour later carrying a red bag. Everything Zhao Qi wanted was put in this red bag.
Carrying the things, Zhao Qi left the store without looking back. Ye Zhiqiang, who was standing here, immediately reacted.
He reluctantly took out a few bills from his pocket, slapped them into the boss's hand, and then got into the car.
Until the motorcade gradually faded away, the boss still stood at the door with a look of confusion on his face.
…
Sitting in the car, Ye Zhiqiang would look at Zhao Qi behind him through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Ye Zhiqiang was also very puzzled as to why Zhao Qi suddenly prepared these things.
As if noticing Ye Zhiqiang's eyes, Zhao Qi's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Just ask whatever you want to ask. If you explain all your questions clearly now, it will save you some trouble in the next actions."
After Zhao Qi revealed his thoughts, Ye Zhiqiang simply stopped hiding it, turned around and pointed at the red bag placed next to him and said:
"Does preparing these things have anything to do with our actions?"
"Of course it does matter, otherwise I wouldn't let you pay."
"Money can make all the difference. If you want to figure out some things, you have to prepare money for directions. The remaining things are just in case of emergencies. As the investigation continues, there may be new things. Be prepared.”
Zhao Qi's explanation still failed to answer Ye Zhiqiang's doubts, but made him less and less worried.
It seems that the money Zhao Qi mentioned for asking for directions was these two kilograms of paper money.
But how can this paper money be used to ask for directions, and who is the person asking?
Ye Zhiqiang glanced at Zhao Qi suspiciously, and seeing that Zhao Qi obviously had no intention of continuing, he could only end the conversation in a hurry.
Ye Zhiqiang didn't know that the reason why Zhao Qi had no intention of chatting at this time was because he was busy with his thoughts.
He remembered that he had seen relevant news reports in his previous life, and later he was basically sure that it was a ghost.
But it was only after the demon came that we got such confirmation.
So in fact, Zhao Qi didn't know what the spirit was that caused the scientific research team to disappear.
But this was Zhao Qi's only chance to gain official trust, so he had to be fully prepared.
Fortunately, through the list of gods, Zhao Qi already had a certain understanding of folklore knowledge, so he came to Baishipu to prepare corresponding items for a comprehensive investigation.
However, because of such a delay, the National Secret Service arrived in Yishan more than half an hour late.
…
At the same time, in an open space on the north side of Yishan, there are still tents set up by the previous scientific research team here.
A group of soldiers in military uniforms have completely blocked this generation.
The commander-in-chief of this team, wearing a straight military uniform and a pair of military boots, was pacing back and forth in front of the tent.
"As far as I know, the State Secretariat is never late. It's been half an hour, why haven't you come yet?"
The adjutant on the side heard this and said quickly:
"General Zhang, do you need to contact the State Secretariat to ask the reason?"
General Zhang thought and shook his head:
"Just wait a little longer. People from the National Affairs Office will not be late for no reason."
The reason why people from the Bingfu appear here is because the south side of Yishan is the northern Bingfu county-level security area.
The location where the scientific research team disappeared is less than ten kilometers away from the security area.
After learning that the scientific research team was missing, Lake immediately contacted Zhang Zhenshan, the commander-in-chief of the garrison area.
In this regard, Zhang Zhenshan also expressed that he would cooperate vigorously and even personally led soldiers to block the scene.
But what Mr. Zhang didn't expect was that the State Secretariat did not arrive within the stipulated time. Even half an hour had passed and there was still no one from the State Secretariat.
Zhang Zhenshan had dealt with the State Secret Service before. In his impression, the State Secret Service would always appear on time everywhere.
That's why he felt strange.
After more than 10 minutes, we finally saw the State Secret Service convoy at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Zhenshan stood in the blocked area in confusion, watching the team from the State Secret Service heading up the mountain.
