Chapter 871 – Hidden Red Moon
Ningchang County.
Sunset Coastline.
A black van sped across the wide road and stopped at the edge of the coastline, a large number of manpower got down from the vehicle and silently and swiftly began to pull up a cordon around the coastline.
”Eh? What’s going on? Why is this still closed?”
”Yeah, isn’t this an attraction?”
”What happened in front?”
”I don’t know. ……”
”……”
The tourists who were still clocking photos along the coast saw this scene and talked about it, and soon people came to maintain order, evacuating these tourists and completely blocking the passage into the scenic spot.
A sedan pulled up around the cordon, and several figures cloaked in dark red cloaks stepped out of the car and quickly approached the coastline.
”Hello, I’m the captain of Squad 197 based in Ningchang County, Zhou Dao.” The man in the lead extended his hand and shook it with another man who had just finished evacuating the tourists.
”I’m a special investigator from the headquarters in Shangjing City, Lu Rui Ci.”
After the two men shook hands, they quickly walked through the cordon and headed towards the coastline ahead.
”What is the situation here now?” Zhou Dao looked at the busy crowd and asked suspiciously, “Didn’t they say they were here to look for the missing [Mask] squad? Why is there such a big show here?”
”This is an order from Commander Zuo himself, and Fuzi Chen is also on his way here.”
”Has the situation gotten this serious?”
Lu Rui Ci didn’t explain much, just nodded slightly as he reached out and pointed to the place at the end of the coastline in front of him.
”Around here, has anything happened before?”
Zhou Dao pondered for a moment, “No, no ‘mysterious’ events have happened in this neighborhood, but after receiving your information, I immediately went to the local police department’s files and found that there have been three disappearance cases here.”
”Missing cases?”
”Yes, they were all cases where some tourists came to this neighborhood for fun and then suddenly disappeared, the furthest time span was more than thirty years ago, and the people have not been found even now.”
Lu Rui Ci nodded thoughtfully.
”Shouldn’t we go in first and explore the situation?” Seeing everyone standing neatly outside the cordon without taking half a step in, Zhou Dao couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
”No, Commander Zuo has an order that we can only move when Fuzi Chen arrives.” Lu Rui Ci said firmly.
”When will Fuzi Chen arrive?”
Lu Rui Ci was about to open his mouth when, as if sensing something, he turned his head to look at the end of the sea level.
Between the azure sky and the sea, a carriage, like a ghost passing through the tumbling waves and with its feet on the sea, was approaching the place at an astonishing speed, and as the body swayed, the copper bells hanging at the front of the carriage jingled.
”He’s coming.” The corners of Lu Rui Ci’s mouth rose slightly.
The phantom carriage swept across the sea at an astonishing speed, eventually stopping in front of the two.
The curtains of the carriage were pulled up, and a gray-robed Husbandman Chen sat behind a short table, holding a cup in his hand, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two men as he asked, “Who is Lu Rui Ci?”
”It’s me, Husbandman Chen.”
”Where is the place Zuo Qing said? Is there any news from the [Night Curtain] squad?”
”The [Night Curtain] squad has no news …… yet,” Lu Rui Ci stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction, “but the coordinates left before they disappeared are right in front of them, Commander Zuo instructed us to wait for you to come so that we can cooperate with your actions. ”
”Hm.”
Chen Fu Zi nodded, “All get in the car, let’s go over and take a look.”
Zhou Dao was stunned and turned his head to look at Lu Rui Ci, who nodded slightly at him and took the lead in stepping onto the carriage, with Zhou Dao following closely behind.
”This carriage looks so new.” Zhou Dao sat in the carriage, curiously surveying the surroundings, and couldn’t help but say.
Husband Chen’s hand holding his cup trembled slightly.
Lu Rui Ci coughed lightly, attached himself to Zhou Island’s ear, and whispered, “During that divine battle two years ago, Husband Chen’s carriage was broken by the Nine Pillar Gods …… This is a new car.”
Only then did Zhou Island realize that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head in some embarrassment.
”There is nothing to be ashamed of.” Chen Fuzi slowly drank a mouthful of tea, his gaze rippled, “Back then, it was indeed that I was not as skilled as God ……”
His eyes leisurely looked out the window at the “heart scene” of birds and flowers, and continued.
”But now, they can’t do it anymore.”
”Hyah!”
Sitting in front of the carriage of the scholar to drive the car forward, hanging on the eaves of the copper bell tinkling again, Chen Fuzi gently waved his hand, outside the window of the birds and flowers of the “heart of the scene” disappeared without a trace, the next moment the entire carriage of the four walls and the top of the four walls and are like ink like fading, sitting in the carriage, you can clearly see the scenery of the coastline outside.
”360° dead-angle skylight?” Zhou Island’s mouth opened wide in shock, “Is this new car so smart?”
Lu Rui Ci glared at him, and Zhou Island silently closed his mouth again.
As the carriage galloped, the coastline outside the window receded rapidly, Lu Rui Ci’s frown grew tighter and tighter.
”Strange …… should be right here.” Lu Rui Ci looked around and asked suspiciously, “Where is the fishing village? Why don’t we see a fishing village?”
Rough waves lapped at the grayish-brown shore, and there wasn’t even a single hermit crab around the carriage except for a barren gravel beach, not to mention the fishing village that Lin Qiye had mentioned on the phone.
”Could the address be wrong?” Zhou Island asked.
”Impossible, the signal location of that last call was also here, there can’t be a mistake.”
Right at this moment, Chen Fu Zi, who had been resting with his eyes closed as if he had sensed something, opened his eyes and suddenly spoke, “Stop the car.”
The scribe tightened the reins, and the carriage swiftly came to a stop.
Husband Chen’s figure swayed and flew directly out of the carriage, standing in a gray robe on the barren gravel beach, his brows slightly furrowed.
Zhou Dao and Lu Rui Ci got off with him, and after looking around, they found nothing.
”Husbandman Chen, what have you found?”
Husband Chen did not answer as he stood on the shore, gazing up at the azure sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Only after a long time did he raise his hand, pointing remotely at the half-hidden shadow of the moon in the sky, and
”From this angle …… the moon is red.”
Shangjing City, Vigilant Headquarters.
”Can’t find that fishing village?” Zuo Qing received the phone call, his eyes stared up, he thought carefully for a moment and said, “Chen Lu didn’t deny the existence of that fishing village, it means that the address given by Lin Qiye should be correct, perhaps that fishing village is using some other means to hide itself ……”
Zuo Qing glanced at Chen Lu, who was still in the interrogation room, and his mind rapidly flashed through every conversation he had with him.
In the beginning of the conversation, Chen Lu was very surprised that he and the others had found the fishing village, but when he answered the date, he instead smiled again ……
Could it be that the key to determining whether or not one could enter the fishing village was the date?
