Special Case Investigation Team VI

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Where do we need to watch the excitement by ourselves, and then ask Sister Zhu to know what's going on."

He felt that Sister Zhu would definitely not miss the story of Jinmeng Villa.

The two walked into the village along the concrete road. Cheng Jin looked up and said, "I stood on the mountain and looked down. I felt that the village was at the foot of the snow mountain. When I really arrived at the village, I realized that the snow mountain is quite far away."

Yang Simi reminded him: "You came down from the mountain and walked downhill for more than an hour."

"Too."

Although this village seems to be at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, the mountains here are towering mountains, and the area at the foot of the mountain is as wide as a small grassland. There is still a distance from the village to the edge of the mountain, and you have to go up the mountain to an area with ice and snow Estimated to take several hours.

"Are you just here? Come and register!" Someone shouted.

Cheng Jin looked in the direction of the sound. There was a cabin on the roadside in front of the left. There was a person looking at them from behind the window of the cabin. It should be this person who spoke just now.

Looking at the wall of the wooden house, there are a few words written in paint on it: Visitor Center.

This visitor center is small enough, but the location is good. It is stationed on the main traffic road-everyone who enters or exits the village on the cement road has to pass through here.

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi walked to the window, Cheng Jin asked, "Registration?"

The man in the window handed out a notebook and a pen: "Register your ID number."

Cheng Jin took it silently. The book was half used up, and all the personal information of tourists was recorded on it. I didn't expect this old-fashioned paper and pen registration method to be used here.

"Is the purpose of registering is to check his identity in case someone gets lost?" Cheng Jin asked.

"Well, don't deviate from the road when you go hiking, or you will get lost easily."

"I'll write it." Yang Simi took the notebook and pen from Cheng Jin's hand, and quickly wrote down the personal information of the two, but what he wrote was fake.

Cheng Jin watched silently, and said, "The phone number...in case something happens..."

Yang Simi glanced at him, crossed out the wrong phone number and changed it to the correct one.

After Yang Simi finished writing, Cheng Jin took the notebook and flipped through it. There were more than 20 people who came in before them today, and it is estimated that there are more than 20 people behind them. Looking at yesterday's list, the number of people who came in yesterday There were about 50 people in total, and looking at them one by one, there was no one with the surname Qu among them.

Cheng Jin: "A friend of ours came here on foot yesterday, but you don't have his name on it."

The staff in the window looked at him: "Are you sure he's here?"

Cheng Jin really couldn't be sure, because he didn't see Brother Qu walking on the hiking path with his own eyes. It was Sister Zhu and Brother Wei who said that he came to Xuelu Valley on foot.

"Wait a minute, I'll call another friend of ours who knows the situation better." Cheng Jin called Sister Zhu, but she couldn't get through, and the phone was turned off.

He only exchanged contact information with Sister Zhu, so he can't contact Brother Wei now.

Instead, he sent a message to Sister Zhu, telling her that when he registered his personal information later, he could tell the staff about Brother Qu, and the other party would help them find someone.

After sending the message, Cheng Jin said to the staff: "After another friend of ours comes over in a while, I will tell you the specific situation of our suspected lost friend."

Staff: "OK."

Continuing to enter the village, Cheng Jin sighed: "How can it be turned off, the phone must be turned on."

Yang Simi: "Some mobile phones have terrible battery life."

Cheng Jin retorted: "Now who goes out without a mobile power supply?"

Yang Simi didn't bother to talk to him, and didn't answer his words. He said again: "Maybe he didn't notice that the phone was out of battery. For example, she is on the back of a donkey, so she has no time to pay attention to the status of the phone."

After entering the village, the two of them wandered around and chose a hotel with a better angle and a higher location with windows facing the snow-capped mountains to inquire.

The price is moderate, but the boss said that there was a power outage today, and I don't know when the power will come. I hope they will be considerate and give them a discount as an apology.

"You mean you can't take a shower?" Cheng Jin asked.

After walking for several hours, I sweated a lot, and it was too uncomfortable not to take a shower.

Boss: "Yes, there is no hot water for the time being."

"Do you often have power outages here?"

"No." The boss said, "Yesterday, there was a landslide on the mountain, which broke the power line and blocked the road. Not only is there no electricity, but I can't drive out."

"Oh." Unexpectedly, the landslide not only cut off the road, but also cut off the electricity, which is very surprising.

Yang Simi: "Then go to Jinmeng Villa, where it should be able to generate electricity by itself."

Cheng Jin asked the boss: "Really?"

"Yes, but the price there is also expensive. If you live there for one day, at least you can live with me for a week."

Cheng Jin said politely: "Let's go and have a look first, and come back to you if we can't bear it."

Leaving the hotel, the two headed west. Jinmeng Villa is at the westernmost point, occupying the best position to view the snow-capped mountains.

Passing through a large meadow full of wild flowers of various colors, the two came to the outside of Jinmeng Mountain Villa. This place looked like a high-end residential area. As soon as they arrived at the door, someone came to ask what they wanted to do.

After entering the gate, there are scenery everywhere. There is a small bridge on the pool, and the corridor is connected to the pavilion. It has a garden charm, but the architectural styles here are all localized.

Going to the check in lobby, there is indeed electricity, they do have their own generator.

There are also rooms, there are ordinary suites and detached villas, and the price is not only expensive but also more expensive.

The two looked at the description of the house shape, and there was a small heated swimming pool in the courtyard of the villa, or a jacuzzi pool. Cheng Jin's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Sure enough, Yang Simi said, "This is the place to live."

The staff laughed and said, "This series of villas has two bedrooms, which is just right for two people."

Yang Simi: "Oh, then we can sleep in one bed during the day and another at night."

What's the meaning?The staff looked puzzled, but still maintained a decent smile.

After checking in, the two took the hotel sightseeing car to the entrance of the villa.

After entering, Cheng Jin's first impression is that it is big, the room is big, and the yard is also big. Secondly, the layout is very elegant and very ethnic. At first glance, it is a perfect place, but it cannot bear a closer look. Careful observation You will find that some places are relatively old, and in terms of hygiene, you can see dust in the corners.

In fact, Cheng Jin had never picked faults when staying in other hotels before. He could only say that it was because this hotel was too expensive that he was picky.

After taking a bath, Cheng Jin declined Yang Simi's invitation to go to the jacuzzi to play in the water, expressing that he wanted to take a stroll inside Jinmeng Villa.

Pulling the reluctant Yang Simi out, he walked along the broad stone road.

After circling around, Cheng Jin said, "This place is much bigger than the ancient town we've been to before."

It also looks like an ancient town, but it is relatively quiet here, and the buildings here are intact and closed.

The streets in the ancient town I visited before were narrow, with storefronts on both sides, but here the roads are wide. To protect the privacy of the guests, as long as the villas are surrounded by walls, the suite building has no walls, but that is because the walls are also a public yard. no need.

Cheng Jin noticed that the entire Jinmeng Villa is mainly composed of 5 areas, 3 guest areas, 1 service area, and 1 area where the family members live.

The 5 areas are well integrated, and the style is unified in appearance, and there is no difference.The only way to know that this area is not a guest area is to be told by the staff that this area is not open to the public after approaching.

At 6:[-], Cheng Jin and Yang Simi sat in the water pavilion drinking tea and eating snacks. Yang Simi leaned on the railing and looked at the schools of fish swimming in the pool below: "I want to eat fish."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat tonight."

At this time, Cheng Jin's cell phone rang, and his first reaction was that it must be Sister Zhu calling.

He looked at the screen but it was not, it was Wen Tianqing calling.

He was about to pick up the phone when Yang Simi by the railing turned around and said, "If you invite someone to live with us without my consent, I will be angry."

He also thought it was Sister Zhu and the others who called, because there was a power outage. If Sister Zhu and the others did not book a room in Jinmeng Villa, then they would live without electricity tonight. Maybe Cheng Jin would be full of love and invite They come to live.

Cheng Jin is as good as a gentleman: "Then let me ask you first, can you invite others to live here?"

"No."

"Oh." Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing, then suppressed his smile and picked up the phone, "Boss Wen?"

Wen Tianqing's voice came from the phone: "I've arrived in Snow Deer Valley. I still decided to come and have a look."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Wen Tianqing arrived with Sister Zhu and Sister Weng. He set off more than an hour later than Cheng Jin and the others, but he walked fast and caught up with Sister Zhu and the others.

He first overtook Sister Zhu and the rest who were resting at Luoheguan, the highest point, and then was overtaken by Sister Zhu and the others at the mouth of Snow Deer Valley——

Because Sister Zhu and the others rode donkeys, and they started riding from the place where there were donkeys, and they rode all the way to Snow Deer Valley.But they didn't stay on the donkey's back all the time, they still came down to take a rest and take pictures, for example, they rested for a long time at Luoheguan.

Hearing that Sister Zhu and the others had also arrived, Cheng Jin hurriedly told Wen Tianqing to ask Sister Zhu to tell the staff of the tourist center about Brother Qu's situation.

After making the phone call, Cheng Jin got up: "Simi, let's go, let's go to the entrance of the village to have a look."

The two walked out of the villa.

"Do you want to ride a bicycle?" Cheng Jin asked.

A bicycle rental service is available at Jinmeng Villa.

"I want to ride an electric bike."

"There don't seem to be electric bikes here."

The sightseeing car is electric, but after asking the staff, they said that the car does not provide rental services, only the driver of the hotel can drive it, and it can only be driven inside Jinmeng Villa, not outside.

As a result, not far from Jinmeng Villa, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi saw a sightseeing bus driving towards Jinmeng Villa from the village. The two passengers in the car were acquaintances: Sister Weng and her Exclusive photographer Qiu Ge.

The two sides greeted each other.

Sister Weng asked the driver to stop, and she asked Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, "Do you live in Jinmeng Villa?"

"Yes." Cheng Jin said, "The other hotels have a power outage, and there is no hot water for bathing."

"Oh, there's no way. I'll go back first, and we'll talk later."

"Ok."

After the sightseeing bus drove away, Cheng Jin said: "It seems that even if she is divorced, she still has privileges in Jinmeng Villa."

After a while, they came to the tourist center at the entrance of the village, where Sister Zhu, Brother Wei and Wen Tianqing were all there.

Sister Zhu and Brother Wei looked sad, Sister Zhu said: "It seems that Lao Qu has really lost his way."

He has not left any registration information at the tourist center.The staff of the travel center called to inquire about various hotels, but did not find any information about his stay.

"I've asked the hotels in North Valley and South Valley, but I can't find his check-in information." Wei Ge said, "Now I'm asking the local villagers to see if anyone's home has taken in foreign guests."

Cheng Jin nodded and looked at the cabin. The staff inside were busy on the phone.

He remembered one thing: "Sister Zhu, is your cell phone out of battery? The previous call to you didn't go through."

"It's out of power." Sister Zhu said, "One of the two mobile power banks is out of power, and I don't know if the other is broken. That's a lot."

In fact, it's okay, but when people believe that they are unlucky, they will rely on all accidents to be unlucky.

Cheng Jin comforted her a few words, and then changed the subject: "When we came here, we met Sister Weng and the others. Did you and Brother Wei stop to wait for them?"

"We stopped to wait for them when we got to the place where there are donkeys. Anyway, there are donkeys, so we don't have to go by ourselves, and we are not afraid of delaying time." Speaking of this, Sister Zhu looked at Wen Tianqing, "Boss Wen is very powerful, the whole process is very came down."

Wen Tianqing said modestly: "I'm a hiking enthusiast, and I'm used to it."

He asked Cheng Jin again: "You also left by yourself?"

Cheng Jin shook his head: "No, we rode donkeys when we went up the mountain. We rode from the first supply station to the top of the mountain. We went down the mountain by ourselves."

Wen Tianqing nodded, this was in line with his expectations, since Cheng Jin and Yang Simi wanted to take the car earlier, it is conceivable that their physical strength will not be very good.

"It seems to take a while here," Cheng Jin said, "Why don't we stay here and wait for the news, and you go to the hotel to put your things down first? By the way, there is a power outage here today. It is said that the landslide broke the wire. Now only Jin Dream Villa has electricity, so we stayed in Jinmeng Villa.”

Sister Zhu and Brother Wei looked at each other: "Then why don't we have a luxury too?"

Wen Tianqing: "Then I will live in Jinmeng Villa too." He came here to see Zhu Yong, so he should live in Jinmeng Villa.

The three left, while Cheng Jin and Yang Simi stayed where they were and watched the scenery.

On the right side of the concrete road is a meadow, and there is a stream, and there are cows with bells hanging around their necks grazing on the grass.

Yang Simi jumped off the concrete road and stepped on the grass. Cheng Jin thought he was going to the cow, but unexpectedly he jumped over the stream and went to the other side.

On the other side of the creek is also a grassland, which is small in size, with bushes and woods on the edge.

Yang Simi stood by the bushes and reached out to pick something. After 7 or 8 minutes, he ran back, holding some orange raspberries in his hands, and handed them to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin picked up one and tasted it, it was sweet and sour, and had a very special aroma——

"Is this the wild raspberry drink we drank in Lan County?"

Yang Simi nodded: "Yes."

"It turns out that the raspberry looks like this. It's quite a surprise." Cheng Jin smiled and fed Yang Simi a raspberry, and then ate one himself. The berries are gone.

Yang Simi clapped his hands and ran to pick them up again. Cheng Jin smiled and looked at his back.

After a while, Cheng Jin walked into the hut of the tourist center and said to the staff, "I'll go to the grass next to it for a stroll. If you want to find me later, just call me."

The staff looked at him and said, "It's useless for you to wait here, go back, I will call you if I have any news."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Jin said, "If it is confirmed that our friend is lost, what will you do next?"

The staff hesitated for a moment and said, "Then we have to go to the mountain to search for him, but it's already late today, and we can't find someone until tomorrow."

Cheng Jin nodded: "Understood. Can we participate in the search and rescue?"

The staff tactfully said: "The environment on the mountain is complicated, we locals have to be very careful, let alone you foreigners?"

Cheng Jin thought so too, professional things should be left to professional people. "I understand, please let us know if you need help."

After leaving the tourist center, Cheng Jin called Sister Zhu and told them not to come.

Sister Zhu also told him that Sister Weng would invite them to dinner tonight.

Cheng Jin asked, "Can I bring Boss Wen with me?"

"... She probably doesn't mind this, but I'm too embarrassed to ask her."

"That's right, then Boss Wen will have to eat alone tonight."

After making the phone call, Cheng Jin went to the raspberry bush to look for Yang Simi.

Yang Simi picked another handful of raspberries and handed them to Cheng Jin: "I'll give you all of them." This meant that there was no need to share them with him.

"Thank you." Cheng Jin took the raspberry with a smile, leaned close to Yang Simi and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
