At this time, several police officers ran over from the side.
The leaders are Lei Ming, the criminal investigation captain of the Cang'er City Police Force, and his partner Zhang Donglei.
The two parties introduced each other first. Lei Ming stared at the swishing tail behind Chao Gexue for a long time and said, "Well, Captain Cao fell into the water and was rescued by local villagers. It has been like this ever since."
"He kept shouting, cross the bridge, cross the bridge, but we didn't find any bridge nearby..."
"Falling into the water?"
The people from the Special Administration Bureau looked at each other, with disbelief in their eyes.
Not to mention Cao Mingliang, a third-level special agent with keen senses, even an ordinary special agent in the Special Administration Bureau would not behave like this after falling into the water.
Ruan Kai stepped forward to check Cao Mingliang's three souls and seven souls, then shook his head with everyone and said, "All three souls and seven souls are missing. This is not ordinary water."
Chao Gexue turned to look at Lei Ming, who took out the map and said, "The villager was Captain Cao who was rescued in this river. But according to the villager, Captain Cao seemed to have fallen into the water for a while, so it should be It floated down from the upper reaches of the river.”
"There are no roads around this place, let alone a bridge. We just looked for it, but we couldn't find the bridge where Captain Cao fell into the water."
Chao Gexue stared at the map for a long time. In her memory, although Qingqiao had the word "bridge" in the place name, there was actually no bridge.
She took out her mobile phone and called up Cao Mingliang's work diary.
According to Cao's original work plan, he should have arrived in Qingqiao long ago.
But after so many days, he actually fell into the water outside Qingqiao. Why was he there?
Through Cao Mingliang's work diary, Chao Gexue knew the reason.
In the past two months, because Caiyun Province has been in the rainy season, it has been raining in the impassable ravines, making it impossible to enter the mountains.
At the beginning, Cao Mingliang was waiting in a nearby town.
But then he couldn't wait any longer, so he headed into the mountains.
As a result, he encountered a small mountain village that suffered from flash floods. Cao Mingliang immediately contacted the local official residence to assist in the transfer of the small mountain village.
However, most people in the mountain village have left. There are about thirty old people who are unwilling to leave no matter what.
It is also said that the mountain torrent is the mountain god who is dissatisfied with the people in the village and deliberately vents his anger. If he escapes, the mountain god will be even more angry in the future.
Cao Mingliang had no choice but to use various means, including pulling and beating, to take the thirty or so old people away from the mountain village.
Less than ten minutes after Cao Mingliang transferred the more than thirty old people, the small mountain village was completely swallowed up by the flash flood.
This is how time is delayed.
After reading Cao Mingliang's work diary, Chao Gexue first asked the staff of the nearby official residence to place Cao Mingliang in place, and then led the Special Administration Bureau and his team toward the mountains and forests according to the direction in his memory.
Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei led several police officers into the mountain.
Because Chao Gexue, a local fox, led the way, they walked for a short time, that is, after dark, everyone successfully arrived at the Qingqiao boundary marked on the map.
A stone tablet covered with moss appeared in front of everyone.
There are two big blood-red characters printed on the stone tablet: Qingqiao.
Looking at the stone tablet, Chao Gexue bowed three times to it, and said to everyone behind him: "Bow down, the two words on this stone tablet are truly dyed red by the blood of our predecessors."
Everyone followed suit.
Everyone looked at the stone tablet with an expression of admiration in their eyes.
After that, feeling in the dark, the group continued to move forward.
Not far away, they heard the sound of running water.
When we arrived at this place, the general electronic equipment was basically paralyzed, either without power or signal.
Lei Ming looked at the map in his hand with his flashlight, "Where are we?"
"The map doesn't show that there is a river nearby?"
Chao Gexue swung his tail and looked at Lei Ming and the other police officers, and said, "Team Lei, let's go by ourselves from the front, and you guys shouldn't follow."
Lei Ming gasped and said, "We're all here, how can we give up halfway?"
Looking at Chao Gexue's expression, Lei Ming took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, I know you are a special unit, we must be careful not to hold you back!"
Chao Gexue smiled and said: "You're welcome. As long as you don't commit suicide, there is nothing dangerous here, but it is inevitable to be frightened."
Lei Ming laughed "haha" and said boldly: "Let's go! We try not to scream when we are scared!"
Seeing this, Chao Gexue said nothing and continued to lead the people forward.
After walking almost a hundred meters away, Chao Gexue stopped. The scene in front of her made her a little unbelievable.
In the deep mountains and old forests, a broad river rushes through!
If you look carefully, you can see that the river water is turbid and yellow, full of sediment.
And on this turbulent river, a long tree trunk actually formed a single-plank bridge.
However, the river is so wide that you can't even see the other side!
How long can that tree trunk be?
For a moment, everyone was shocked by the river that seemed to fall from the sky in front of them!
But what’s more shocking is far more than that!
The terrain in the mountain forest becomes slightly more open here, so that through the light of stars and moon falling from the sky, you can see the river in front and the situation on the single-plank bridge.
Healing the cough, there was a figure on the tree trunk hanging on the river, walking step by step towards the other side of the river.
Li Bai looked at the man's back and spoke.
"That person, is it Cao Mingliang?!"
Listening to Li Bai's words, others questioned: "How is it possible?"
"Cao Mingliang has been placed in the town. It can't be him."
Lei Ming stared at the figure on the bridge carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that it is indeed Captain Cao?"
"He came here again behind our backs?"
Chao Gexue looked at Ruan Kai, "Take a look!"
The latter immediately said: "Yes!"
Stepping forward with the soul disk in hand, Ruan Kai pinched a few guides at the figure on the bridge, and the pointer on the soul disk moved.
Ruan Kai looked at it, turned to everyone and said, "Yes, it's Cao Mingliang!"
"To be precise, it's Cao Mingliang's lost soul!"
Hearing this, it didn't matter to the others. Lei Ming and several police officers got goosebumps first.
Chao Gexue stepped forward and looked at the single-plank bridge and the rushing river, her frown never loosening.
When did there be a river here?
She has no impression at all!
You know, she is a local fox from Qingqiao!
At this time, a strange noise suddenly came from the river.
Plop!
Cao Mingliang, who was on the single-plank bridge, fell into the rushing river.
Everyone saw that there was nothing they could do because the distance was too far.
The other side of the rushing river could not be seen at all, and the place where Cao Mingliang fell into the water was quite far ahead.
Not long after, Cao Mingliang climbed up from the river. He continued to move towards the other side from where he just fell into the water.
Looking at this scene, everyone was in awe.
At this time, a second figure appeared on the single-plank bridge.
The figure walked towards Cao Mingliang, passed Cao Mingliang, and came towards the crowd.
As he walked, the man sang: "There is a underworld under the Qingqiao, and this road leads directly to the gate of hell!"
As we got closer, everyone in the Special Administration Bureau exclaimed: "Is it, is it the leader of the third group?!"
"That's right, it's the Taoist leader!"
"Why is he here?!"
Li Bai said thoughtfully: "Why else?"
"It seems that the most dangerous place where the Taoist leader is stationed is Qingqiao!"
...
