"By the way, how do they usually perform in the team? Has your team lost anything valuable recently?"
Zhang Tianxin, who was driving the car, thought of a possibility. Could it be that these drivers had stolen valuable items from the transported goods, so they met and escaped together?
Something like this has happened before, but the criminal was very miserable that time. When he escaped from the city, the soldiers guarding the city discovered the problem and shot him on the spot.
"Probably not. The goods we transport are generally well-documented, and they are usually large-ticket goods. They can't steal these items, and if they are stolen, there is no place to sell them."
After carefully thinking about Zhang Tianxin's words, the team captain categorically rejected this speculation and believed that this speculation was basically impossible.
"Okay, then let's go to the scene and see it first."
After hearing what the team captain said, Zhang Tianxin didn't have any new ideas, so he thought about it and said.
On the way, Zhang Tianxin, who was driving, looked at the wisteria on the side of the road and said with some confusion: "Don't mention it, the wisteria in this area is growing really weird. It's already November and the weather is getting cold. These wisteria are actually growing too." They are not withered, and there are so many of them.”
The team captain also said: "Yes, I am also from the old North District. At this time in previous years, these wisterias and wall-creeping tigers have long withered. I don't know what happened this year. The longer the wisterias grow, the greener they are. Really. It’s a little weird.”
This wisteria was originally growing outside the walls of several houses, but after entering November, it didn't matter if it didn't wither, it even spread to several streets.
Moreover, if you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the direction of the spread of these wisterias is relying on the city walls, as if they want to surround the entire city, but there are not many wisterias seen in the center of the city. trace.
Looking at it now, this green color occupies about one-tenth of the entire city, and it looks quite pleasant. After all, it is winter, and all the plants are in decline. Suddenly, such a large area of purple appears. No wonder some people say it is auspicious.
The wisteria now covers a large area. The location of the homes of the missing persons mentioned by the team leader is the birthplace of the earliest wisteria.
After hearing about this auspicious sign, many urban residents who have precious items like cameras at home went to take a photo with the wisteria flowers in winter. This kind of scenery is really a rare sight in winter.
However, there are now more than just a small patch of wisteria. When Zhang Tianxin drove into this area, he saw houses decorated with purple flowers and vines, which looked very lively.
Turning his head, he asked the co-pilot's convoy captain: "There are wisterias everywhere. Where do they live?"
The captain of the convoy quickly directed the road, and said with some confusion: "Yes, turn right here, and then turn left again. Don't mention it, it's really strange. Why does this wisteria grow so fast?"
"Sir, have you seen the residential building on the right? In my mind, when I came here yesterday, there was no wisteria on this building. Why, when I came here today, the entire residential building was covered with wisteria."
"If I hadn't grown up here and am very familiar with this area, I might have been lost."
You know, the lush wisteria grows so densely that it even blocks the street signs on the residential buildings. At first, the residents thought it looked good, but now it has affected everyone's lives.
Judging from the current situation, the pedestrians coming and going on the street are more or less dissatisfied with the wisteria. In the past few days, some people came to the Inspection Office and asked if they could send someone to clean it up, but the staff drove them away.
Zhang Tianxin was driving, looking out of the car window at the wisteria climbing everywhere on the wall. He always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"That's it, that's it."
At this time, the team captain sitting in the passenger seat said: "Sir, this is the residential building next to us. There is a driver who lives on the first floor."
Zhang Tianxin parked the car and walked into the corridor. What he saw in front of him surprised him. He asked strangely: "Hey, do wisterias usually grow into the corridor? Don't they all grow in places where the sun can shine?"
At this time, the corridor in front of him was actually covered with wisteria, and the original white wall had disappeared. And at this moment, he didn't think there was anything attractive about these wisterias. They were densely packed, but they made him feel that there was something behind him. Chill.
But after all, he had to go in to inspect the scene, so he wouldn't be frightened by the wisteria. Thinking of this, Zhang Tianxin bravely walked in.
…
When he walked to the door on the first floor, he found that the door of this resident's house was open. Zhang Tianxin asked the team leader who was following him a little strangely: "Did you open this door?"
"no……"
The team captain who followed up said: "When I came to see him yesterday, I saw the door of the room open. I also wondered why he left in such a hurry and didn't even close the door?"
Shaking his head, relieved and filled with doubts, Zhang Tianxin walked slowly into the house, found the light switch along the wall, and turned on the light. After careful inspection, he found that there were no traces of a fight in the house as he imagined, no clues at all.
After all, Zhang Tianxin is much more experienced than the team captain. You know, the people in the inspection office have received professional training after all.
As soon as he entered the house, he noticed something was wrong. There was a sweaty fingerprint on the door frame. It was not particularly obvious, but it was strange.
The mark left by that handprint was like someone who had just opened the door with a key and came in. Then something grabbed his back, and then he was suddenly pulled out of the house. In a hurry, this person tried to grab the door frame. But didn't catch it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianxin suddenly felt a chill on his back and looked behind him in horror, but there was nothing behind him!
At this moment, Zhang Tianxin felt that the room was a little cold. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to the team leader: "Let's go out first and ask other residents upstairs."
After leaving the door, the two of them walked up the stairs. As they walked, Zhang Tianxin discovered that the wisteria had covered the entire building, both inside and outside.
Arriving on the second floor, Zhang Tianxin was shocked to find that the doors of the two houses upstairs were also open. He looked at the team leader a little strangely and asked, "Did you go upstairs yesterday?"
"No……"
The team captain also said with a hint of panic in his eyes: "Why do I go upstairs if I have nothing to do?"
Actually, what Zhang Tianxin wanted to ask was whether the door on the second floor was open when you came yesterday! Are the residents here still there?
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tianxin suddenly stood in the corridor and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is there anyone in the house?!"
Zhang Tianxin didn't even dare to enter the house at this moment. He only felt a huge sense of crisis threatening him. His back was covered with sweat!
After he finished shouting, the echoes of his shouts were heard in the corridor, but the room with the door open was silent and there was no sound.
Zhang Tianxin hesitated for a moment, then took a few more steps in front of the door. The next moment, his eyes glanced at a trace of blood on the ground. It was very small and had been mixed with the dust.
Although it is very blurry, others may not recognize it as blood stains, but how could someone in his profession not recognize it!
…
"No, run!"
The next moment, Zhang Tianxin seemed to suddenly understand something and shouted loudly.
After saying that, he took the captain's arm and ran downstairs, but it was already too late. While running, Zhang Tianxin saw that the wisteria on the corridor wall seemed to be "alive", and the vines were moving towards The two of them pulled over.
Just as he was running, he saw that the wisteria on the wall facing him was like a poisonous snake, rushing towards the two of them crazily. Zhang Tianxin no longer hesitated. He pulled the team leader and retreated instead of advancing. Instead, he headed towards the room on the second floor. The house rushed in.
In Zhang Tianxin's impression, there was no wisteria in the house on the first floor that he just entered, and there should be no wisteria on the second floor either. If he rushed in, it should be safe for the time being at least.
When he and the captain rushed into the house before Wisteria could catch them, the captain turned pale and asked in shock: "What's going on? What kind of monster is this? Why is Wisteria moving!"
But at this time, Zhang Tianxin had no time to explain. After entering the house, he took a running start and rushed towards the window as fast as he could.
There was a loud "crash" sound.
Zhang Tianxin broke the window with his shoulder and was knocked out from the second floor. Due to the strong inertia of the run-up, the wisteria on the wall outside tried to pull him, but he tore off many vines instead.
