Chapter 257: Deep in the Forest
After hearing this, the three of them felt that Song Jiang's words made sense, but they always felt something was wrong. In the end, Meng Zhe spoke first, "According to that Li Jiao's statement, Zhou Shiwu should have disappeared first and then their car disappeared later. Is it possible that Zhou Shiwu was going down the mountain to find him and drove away after he came back?"
Deng Kai shook his head as soon as he heard this and said, "Impossible, why did the fifth brother drive away by himself? Li Jiao is not in the car, so he shouldn't find his wife first?! And this is the way down the mountain. If the fifth brother returns, it's impossible for them to meet each other?"
It seems that things really make sense, unless Zhou Shiwu flew back with wings... The last few people decided to park their car on the side of the road first, get off the car and hike to find the traces of the accident, but they searched back and forth for a few laps, but there was no brake marks that Li Jiao said at all.
"Have you seen that Li Jiao after the incident?" Gu Hao suddenly looked at Deng Kai and said.
After hearing this, Deng Kai shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before. She always calls me or sends text messages..."
Gu Hao said angrily as soon as he heard this, "Then why do you know that what she said is the truth? What if the clue given by this woman was fake at the beginning?"
"Why did Li Jiao lie to me?" Deng Kai said dissatisfied.
Gu Hao snorted, "Then you have to ask her to know! Do people understand the hard-to-predict people's hearts?"
Deng Kai and Zhou Shiwu had a good relationship. After hearing Gu Hao say this, he immediately said excitedly, "Are you not a good person in your heart? The couple has a very good relationship. Can you stop thinking that everyone is so unbearable?!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, Song Jiang quickly interrupted and said, "What kind of job does that fifth brother do? How is his family background?!"
When Deng Kai heard that even Song Jiang asked this, he said angrily, "Why are you like Gu Hao? You always think about the bad things!?"
Song Jiang quickly explained, "This is what you think so much. I just want to learn more about the fifth brother and see if it is possible that it has something to do with his disappearance..."
Deng Kai realized that he was a little too excited, so he adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Fifth Brother's job... is indeed not very glorious. He used to be a non-stop player. Later, after he went in and squatted for two years, he never encountered illegal things again. In recent years, he has been borrowing privately within the legal scope."
Gu Hao said funnyly after hearing this, "There is still a legal scope for private lending?"
"Of course there is! To put it bluntly, it is to help some powerful bosses with cash turnover. He earns a part of the commission, which is considered an illegal and illegal gray area. If the debt is due, the other party will not pay it back, and it will use a house or a car to pay off the debt... Of course, the price must be lower than the market price." Deng Kai explained.
After hearing this, Song Jiang suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Did you buy the house you live in now from him?"
Deng Kai nodded and said, "Well, whenever Brother Wu has a good house at a low price, he will think of his friends around him, first ask us if we want it, and then he will give it to others. So everyone who knows Brother Wu knows that although he has a lot of problems, he is very righteous and should not have any enemies."
"Then how long has he been married to Li Jiao?" Song Jiang continued to ask.
Deng Kai thought for a while and said, "It's been seven or eight years. The two have a good relationship and always get along like that when they were in love... Although they have never had their own children, the fifth brother often says that it's better to be as good as they do, and it's okay to have it, and it's not a big deal if they don't have it. Wouldn't it be better for the world of two people forever? So Li Jiao I know cannot tell lies to harm the fifth brother."
Seeing Deng Kai's face was confident, Song Jiang nodded and said, "I heard that, with the fifth brother's personality, it is impossible for him to leave Li Jiao and drive away by himself..."
"Absolutely, when the fifth brother went out to play with us, they were all daughters-in-laws. He insisted on going down the mountain to ask for help, but he didn't want Li Jiao to spend the night on the mountain. How could he leave her alone?!" Deng Kai said anxiously.
But Gu Hao doesn't think so, "How many men usually create affectionate characters for themselves, but when it comes to a critical moment, they are often the most selfish and ruthless..."
"You are judging others by yourself!" Deng Kai became anxious again in an instant.
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them were still arguing, Meng Zhe suddenly made a gesture to everyone, and then signaled them to listen carefully, did he find something wrong around him?
Song Jiang and Deng Kai were both confused. Gu Hao listened, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's too quiet around..."
Meng Zhe nodded and said, "Well, in this environment surrounded by dense forests, even if there are no wild animals, the sound of insects and birds singing should be there? But it is extremely quiet here. Except for the sounds of ours, it seems that everything does not exist."
After hearing this, Deng Kai and Song Jiang also carefully observed the surrounding environment. It was indeed a dead silence. Song Jiang said with a puzzled look, "How could this happen?!"
Finally, Meng Zhe looked deep in the woods and said, "There is a problem with this forest. What is the specific situation? Only after entering..."
Deng Kai is purely an ignorant person. When he heard Meng Zhe say this, he urged several people to say, "Then hurry up and go in, what are you waiting for?! There must be no one hidden on the road. The fifth brother might have crawled into the forest to get closer and lost."
After Deng Kai finished speaking, he took the lead and walked off the road first and got into the dense forest. Gu Hao was so angry that he shook his head and said, "What a slut!" But after he finished speaking, he still followed Deng Kai and got in.
Song Jiang looked at the two of them’s confusing behavior and asked Meng Zhe with some confusion, “Do you think Gu Hao treats Deng Kai as his friend now?”
Meng Zhe smiled and said, "Even if he is not a friend, he should be a very important person..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang was about to ask him, "Isn't a very important person still a friend?"
But Meng Zhe added, "Because enemies are also very important..."
After several people walked into the woods one after another, they immediately smelled a complex smell mixed with trees and soil. This smell belonging to nature itself should have made people feel refreshed, but for some reason, Song Jiang felt that there was an indescribable strange smell mixed in it.
After walking a long way to the deep forest, the surrounding environment did not change at all. There were trees in front of me... as if this dense forest would never end.
