my dream adventure

Chapter 335 The Butterfly Effect (101)

"Brother, I'm here for the first time, I'm not sensible, where are we going now?"

Gu Fei looked at his face and saw that he was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to ask a question.

He kept his status very low, and raised the other party to a very high position.

He was happy to hear it, so he was naturally willing to chat with Gu Fei.

"You just came here, so you don't know yet, do you know what these boxes contain?" He stood up from the stool and touched the corrugated cardboard boxes with his hands.

Gu Fei's hands were placed neatly on his knees, and he looked like a well-behaved college student, without showing the slightest hostility.

The big brother smiled and said, "Just these boxes, if you shake them a little bit, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay your salary for a year. These things are all precious."

"That's it, it's amazing." Gu Fei responded casually, pretending to be quite surprised.

"If you want to know, just look at this order and you'll understand." The elder brother handed the signed orders on his left hand to Gu Fei, and Gu Fei took them respectfully.

It was clearly written on it, and they were all the names of some Western-style chemicals. He quickly memorized the weight and quantity of many drugs with a quick glance, which was more accurate than an electronic scanner.

After looking at the order quantity and weight, his eyes glanced over the boxes in the large truck, and he quickly calculated in his mind, and soon found a problem.

His gaze stayed on the innermost independent large boxes.

"Brother, chemicals are indeed very expensive. They cost hundreds of dollars per gram, and some even cost tens of thousands. But why are these big boxes in the car different from other boxes? Register the name of the contents?" Gu Fei walked over to the innermost large boxes, and tentatively tapped on them with his hand.

The length of the box is about two meters, and the height and width are nearly half a meter wide. The strange thing is that although the outer shell of these boxes is packed with corrugated paper, there is a wooden frame structure inside.

There are two ventilation holes on the outside of the paper shell, and when you look through it, you can only see a mass of dark shadows.

Gu Fei returned to his seat and sat. Suddenly, whether it was due to the bumping of the car or his own illusion, something seemed to bump into the big box.

bang.

bang.

The eyes of the two fell on the big boxes inside.

The eldest brother burst out laughing suddenly, "You said that box, it should be a rabbit or a mouse or something, don't they like to tinker with these things in the institute, I have been here a few times before, it's okay, it's not a big deal."

In the narrow space, the echo was magnified countless times. The eldest brother was smoking his cigarette nervously, shaking his head from time to time, as if he had something on his mind.

His left foot frequently tapped the floor, making the same rhythmic tapping sound, as if to comfort his senses, and heard nothing.

But then, the knocking sound in the box disappeared, followed by a subtle sound, like the sound of wind blowing through a narrow gap.

Sisi.

rustle.

Huhu.

The eyes of the two fell on the box again, and this time, the elder brother was speechless again.

The cigarette butt fell to the ground all of a sudden, he came back to his senses, and immediately stamped out the cigarette butt.

"Brother, can rabbits and mice make such noises?" Gu Fei asked.

The eldest brother looked back at him. In the dark compartment, one could see a trace of panic on his expression, the deep facial lines left black shadows, as if seeing something unclean, the pupils of his eyes constricted, and the corners of his mouth slightly Open, but the lips are trembling.

"Young man, aren't you afraid?" Seeing that Gu Fei was so calm, the eldest brother couldn't help asking.

Gu Fei smiled, and there was actually a hint of cheerfulness and sunshine in that smile.

"With big brother here, the two of us, there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, didn't you say that the box contained rabbits? What's there to be afraid of rabbits?" Gu Fei replied.

The elder brother reached out his hand to ask Gu Fei for another cigarette and lit it. He rubbed his thick, callused palm on his head, making his messy hair even more messy.

"Actually, I lied to you. I don't even know what's in that box! When I came to deliver things last time, I also had those big boxes. They were all items that were not on the order. The little brother who came with me On the first day of work, he and I carried these things into the research institute, but he said that he heard someone talking in the box, and told the person in charge of the receiving party, a beautiful woman, That person said she would handle it, and then went to work the next day, and when we went to other places to deliver the goods, the little brother had already left. A big living person disappeared overnight, don’t you think it’s terrible?”

When the eldest brother spoke, the dialect burst out, and he was a little at a loss. Gu Fei suddenly realized that this matter might not be that simple, and there must be developments in the future.

"Maybe it's just an ordinary resignation? Not as serious as you think?"

"No. I was worried later, so I ran to his house. His family was very poor. It was in a slum-like community building. The house was very narrow. On the bottom floor, there was a woman in the house with a baby in swaddling clothes. Babe, I heard that after she disappeared that day, she went to the police station to report to the police, and posted missing notices everywhere. His woman was worried that he couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide, because their family was not in a good situation, and debts were pressing recently. He was disheartened for a time, and he finally found a job that didn't require a degree and paid a decent salary, but he didn't expect to work for a day, and he disappeared."

"I see, isn't it possible that it was just suicide?"

The eldest brother shook his head and rubbed his temples, he paused for a while, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

"He smiled happily when he was moving things that day, and said that next week would be his woman's birthday. The two of them were not officially married together, and they had no other blessings except to endure hardship. He wanted to ask for an advance salary of 100 yuan to buy one. Cake, it’s a way to pass the joy of marriage.” He said here, his eyes were a little sad, “Such a young man is still full of hope in life, do you think he will commit suicide?”

"In this way, big brother is skeptical. Are there any problems in this study?" Gu Fei picked up the phone and typed a line in the dialog box.

"It's hard to say, we're just porters, we don't have the right to investigate this kind of thing, and it's too dangerous." The elder brother shook his head, denying Gu Fei's suggestion.

"Brother, listen to me." Gu Fei put his hand on the other person's shoulder, his eyes were firm, and there was a trace of sincerity, "We don't need to investigate this research institute, it's not something we laymen can do. However, the box is here, we will know if there is something tricky, are you right?"

The eldest brother came back to his senses in a trance, his body was startled suddenly, "You mean, you want to open this box?"

"Yes, I just observed that there are two seals on the outside of the box. If you tear them carefully, they can still be restored. It can be done without anyone noticing, or, we don't need to tear the tape at all. Let's see Look at that vent hole and maybe you can find some clues." Gu Fei's plan was considered thorough.

The eldest brother's curiosity was quickly aroused, he picked up the cigarette butt and stood up, walked a few steps, turned his head and looked at Gu Fei again, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"No, it's too risky. If I lose my job because of this, I still have a wife and children to take care of. Besides, if you go to work all day, aren't you afraid that your job will be lost?"

He walked away angrily, returned to the stool, and sat down, showing no intention of standing up again.

Gu Fei laughed and stood up, "Brother, don't you want to know where the young man who disappeared before went? Don't you want to know what's inside this box?"

"Why don't I want to know, of course I want to know, but between work and curiosity, which one do you think is more important?" He looked somewhat unhappy, and was not easily seduced by Gu Fei.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother you, I'll do it myself." Gu Fei said this, but still resolutely walked to the front of the box and squatted down. He used the flashlight that came with his phone to shine the light on the vent The position was illuminated inward, and a photo was taken casually.

Then he saw such a picture on the screen. Inside the air vent was a wooden box. There were some gaps in the box. A piece of white fiber cloth could be seen, but there was nothing else.

The elder brother was crossing his legs on the seat, shaking his legs, and asked, "Why did you see something?"

Gu Fei stood up calmly, shook his head and said, "No, there is nothing, only a piece of white cloth can be seen, no rabbits, and no mice."

"Tch, let me just say, what's in this box, what's curious, it's just people who are suspicious."

He finished speaking casually.

However, Gu Fei refused to let it go. He quickly took out a special tool and removed the piece of tape, tearing off the tape on the box with a bang.

The eldest brother immediately stood up, with a hint of anger on his face. He never thought that a young man like Gu Fei would dare to do such a bold thing. He thought that the other party was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to actually act.

"What are you doing? Do you know that I will be punished for what you did?" The eldest brother walked over angrily, and was about to blame Gu Fei for his hasty behavior.

Gu Fei raised his hand but stopped his movement. He stopped in his tracks for a moment, with some doubts on his face.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fei squatted down and quickly opened the cardboard box. The scene in front of him was a bit psychedelic, and suddenly the two of them held their breath.
