Chapter 148 Narrator 1
Chapter 148 The First Narrator
How did Azhen die?
The official statement was that he died from a rockfall.
According to the police's subsequent questioning of Aqiang and the media's interviews, he described what happened as follows:
With the guidance of an expert, the two men hurriedly fled the haunted yard. Before it got completely dark, they ran away without looking back. When they returned to the place where they had parked their car outside the town, they found that Aqiang's car had disappeared at some point, and the empty space was covered with only a patch of overgrown weeds.
After the strange incident, the two were already on edge. The terrified Ah Zhen subconsciously began to loudly blame Ah Qiang, crying and cursing that it was because he did not lock the car that it was stolen. Although she knew in her heart that they had checked the car together again and again before getting out of the car.
Intellectually, she knows that this is wrong, it is just throwing a tantrum and being unreasonable, but the repressed emotions need to be vented and the fear in her heart needs to be relieved. She gains emotional value by throwing a tantrum at a man to balance her distorted mental state. This is a physiological instinct that is almost engraved deep in every woman's genes and has long formed a path dependence.
When she is emotionally unstable, only scolding men can make her feel a little better.
A Qiang was very clear about all this, so he ignored A Zhen's unreasonable behavior. While saying "okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong", A Qiang followed his memory and returned to where he had parked his car before - he remembered it very clearly, and in order to find it easier on the way back, he deliberately found a reference when he parked the car and parked it under the shade of an old tea tree outside the town.
At this moment, the tea tree was still there, and on the soft sand under the shade of the tree, the tire marks left by the two of them when they drove here were clearly visible, but the car parked under the tree was gone.
No, it wasn't just the car that was missing.
Ah Qiang squatted down with his travel bag on his back, called Ah Zhen over, and pointed to the tire marks under the tree. "Look, these are the tire marks we made when we got here. If the car was driven away by someone else, there should be new tire marks around, but there aren't any."
What does this mean?
This means that either some weird phenomenon happened here, causing a car to disappear out of thin air, or someone came in a helicopter and directly took their car away by air, so there were no tire tracks left.
Aqiang felt that it was more likely to be haunted than someone flying over to steal the car.
"Call the police."
"Ah."
Ah Zhen, who had just beaten and scolded Ah Qiang, seemed particularly well-behaved at this time. She took out a spare cell phone from her backpack and tried to call the fire department - in a place like this, the fire department would respond much faster than ordinary police.
The sun set slowly and the phone in Ah Zhen's hand rang three times, but the fire alarm was not dialed.
She wanted to try again, but when she looked up, she saw the "No Signal" icon on the status bar of her phone.
"how come……"
Ah Zhen was stunned.
"Bridge - Bean Sack, interrupt here."
In the live broadcast room, the affectionate man in a blue checkered suit interrupted the narration of fishing alone in the cold river, put his face close to the camera and said: "According to Aqiang, they had to stay in Zanju Town because their car was missing and they had no means of transportation. There were indeed several unanswered calls to the police in Azhen's phone records."
"But according to the police's subsequent investigation, their car had been parked under the tea tree at the original location, and there was no sign of it being moved. As for the tire marks, it was impossible to verify because it started raining shortly after Ah Zhen failed to call the police."
"The soil near Zanju Town is soft sand. A heavy rain can easily wash away all the tire marks. So Aqiang's statement that 'the car disappeared out of thin air' can only be used as a reference. There is no way to verify its true or false." "I'm done." After speaking, Brother Shenqing clapped his hands, indicating that Diaodu Hanjiang could continue.
Park Changfan had already gotten off the bed and was sitting in front of the computer, watching two live broadcasts at the same time. There was no other way. The style of the female anchor was too exaggerated. Even the bloodstain photos released by the police were shocking. The experience of listening to the story was far less smooth than that of the male anchor. But the male anchor didn't have big white legs and stockings to look at. If he wanted to have both, he had to watch both.
——The photo released by the female anchor was reproduced from media reports of that year. The background of the photo is a deep concrete cave entrance. The cave is located on a mountain. Mottled sunlight shines through the pine branches above, illuminating a pool of blood at the cave entrance, as well as the white human body outline drawn by the police with the blood as the center.
Xiao Ke's soft voice rang out in the headset: "This is where Azhen died."
"This is an abandoned air-raid shelter in the back mountain of Zanju Town. This type of air-raid shelter can be found almost everywhere in the mountainous area of Qinzhou. It is a product of the period of international tension in the last century. Later, when the international situation eased, these war preparedness facilities built to prevent war were gradually abandoned."
"I know, I know. There is a large network of such air-raid shelters on the mountain behind the city of Taoyuan, and they are always maintained. Citizens use these caves as a place to escape the summer heat. In the summer, you can even buy melons soaked in mountain spring water." Tang Xin is a native of Taoyuan City, so she has a say in this matter.
"The air raid shelters in Taoyuan City are regularly repaired and maintained by dedicated personnel, so they can certainly be used as summer resorts without worry, but the ones in Zanju Town are not like that."
Xiao Ke shook his head and said, "Most of these air-raid shelters in the deep mountains and forests have fallen into disrepair and no one is maintaining them. There is also the risk of landslides during the rainy season, which is very dangerous."
Tang Xin crossed her legs and said, "Family members should pay attention to safety when they go out to play in the suburbs. Safety comes first."
"It was because Azhen and Aqiang were too nervous that they fled into the air-raid shelter on the back hill of Zanju Town in the rain, leading to the tragedy." At this time, Xia Chong, who was sitting between the two, finally spoke.
Her voice was a little weak and her expression was a little shy. It seemed that it was the first time for her to speak in public in a live broadcast room. She stuttered when she spoke. If she was the host of a TV show, this would have been a major accident.
Fortunately, she is just a new anchor, and a female anchor at that. As long as the female anchor has a good figure and is willing to show off, the audience will naturally buy it. As for professionalism and the ability to not be stage-shy, these are actually irrelevant things.
Xia Chong continued intermittently: "After running into the air-raid shelter, Azhen and Aqiang set up a makeshift camp in the cave to spend the night."
"According to Aqiang, after they got into the sleeping bags, he held Azhen and chatted with her because he was scared. They chatted until midnight before falling asleep."
"Azhen got up once in the early morning, left the cave for a few minutes, and then came back quickly and got back into Aqiang's arms. Aqiang asked her what she did, and she said she went to the toilet."
"The next morning, Ah Zhen got up first and prepared breakfast with the canned food and other emergency food they brought. Ah Qiang got up later and after washing up, he also planned to go to the toilet outside the air-raid shelter."
"Then, he saw Ah Zhen's body lying on the ground at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, with her head broken and bleeding."
As he spoke, Xia Chong enlarged the photo and placed it in the center of the live broadcast room, so that all viewers could see the bloodstains in the photo and the several fallen rocks on the edge of the head of the human body outline drawn by the police.
"There is an obvious depression on the back of Ah Zhen's skull. The forensic examination showed that she died from a blunt force trauma. There are two speculations about this result on the Internet."
[1. The area around Zanju Town is all soft sandy soil. Landslides and other accidents are very likely to occur when it rains heavily. Azhen might have been hit on the head by a rock rolling down from the mountain at the entrance of the cave when she went out to the toilet in the middle of the night and died on the spot.]
[2. Ah Qiang killed Ah Zhen with a blunt instrument and disguised the scene to make it look like she was killed by a falling rock]
