Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chapter 289 The legend of Eshan, the big demon appears

The night passed and the time came to the next morning.

Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu got up very late and didn't finish washing until nearly ten o'clock and prepared to have breakfast.

The hotel's buffet breakfast has ended, but the service of a high-end hotel that costs thousands per night is naturally very good. The guest made two separate portions and delivered them to the room with just one sentence.

After dinner, Chen Yi received a call from Jiang Fanlei.

"explain."

After a cigarette, Chen Yi came to the balcony window and connected his cell phone.

Jiang Fanlei: "Chen Yi, I'll pick you up later. Which hotel are you at?"

Chen Yi: "Are you going by car?"

Jiang Fanlei: "Yes, Eshan is very remote and the altitude is not low. Fortunately, the owner of the manor has opened a mountain road that can be driven up the mountain. We drove up directly."

Chen Yi: "If it were me, I would just build a few ropeways and build a manor on the mountain to open the road. What's the shortfall of this little money?"

Jiang Fanlei: "What you're saying is, if someone builds a ropeway, you still have to question why they don't open a mountain road? Of course they have their own ideas and don't care about that much."

Chen Yi smiled: "That's true. It makes sense. Who named Eshan? It's like a disaster, so it's unlucky."

Jiang Fanlei: "Don't be so nagging, I think the name is pretty good, it's unique, it's easy to remember when you hear it... Okay, stop talking nonsense, where do you live?"

Chen Yi: “I’ll send you the address on your mobile phone.”

Jiang Fanlei: "Okay, see you later."

Chen Yi: "See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi smoked a cigarette and looked out the window at the bustling capital city, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic.

The strange Eshan Mountain, the unique manor, and the suspicious Zhong Muping. His experience as a detective in two lifetimes gave him an intuition: This trip may not be peaceful.

At half past eleven, Jiang Fanlei called again to say that he had arrived, and Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu got dressed and went out.

At the entrance of the hotel, a powerful gray off-road vehicle was waiting. The driver's window was open, and Jiang Fanlei was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Chen Yi! Here, here!" Jiang Fanlei leaned forward and waved.

Zhong Muping hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car. He walked towards Chen Yi and stretched out his hand. He said very politely: "Captain Chen, hello, hello. I am Zhong Muping. I am a business friend of Jiang Fanlei and have a good relationship in private."

Friends of friends can be considered friends. Zhong Muping obviously knows how to get close to Chen Yi, and using Jiang Fanlei is the most direct way.

The only son of the Chen Group, he already knew about this, and he was even more surprised.

It is quite unusual for a rich second generation of this level to choose to become a criminal police officer.

Out of politeness, Chen Yi smiled and shook hands with Zhong Muping while looking at him carefully.

People can be judged by their appearance, and Zhong Muping's whole person gives him a sense of multifacetedness. He has the shrewdness of a businessman, the restraint and reserve of a young man, and he can also see the ambition and progress in his eyes.

Chen Yi had been wary of it before, but now it was even more intense, but he remained calm on the surface.

Decryption requires a process to see the results. What is the purpose of Zhong Muping's invitation, what kind of person is he, and what does he ultimately want to get? These questions should have answers when they get there.

The answer may be simple or complex, expected or unexpected.

"Hello, Mr. Zhong." Chen Yi said with a smile.

After letting go of his hand, Zhong Muping looked at Fang Shuyu beside him. He did not reach out rashly and praised: "This must be the police wife. Now I know who Shen Yuluoyan Guanyue Xianhua is describing."

Fang Shuyu felt no fluctuation in his heart and raised a smile: "Mr. Zhong, thank you for the award."

Zhong Muping: "I really mean it from my heart, not a compliment. Let's talk on the road. It will take five or six hours."

Chen Yi: "Okay."

Several people got in the car, left the hotel and drove towards the north of Imperial City.

When they came to the expressway and the speed stabilized, Chen Yi took the lead in asking his own question.

"Mr. Zhong, how many people are there in Eshan Manor this time?"

Zhong Muping replied with a smile: "Counting us, there are about seven or eight people, including my wife. She is waiting there."

Chen Yi: "Is it just an ordinary party?"

Zhong Muping: "That's right."

Chen Yi: "Who organized it?"

Zhong Muping: "She's my wife, but some people want to come on their own initiative and have made appointments a long time in advance. The owner of the manor doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders, so not many people have the opportunity to go."

He spoke very measuredly, changing "qualified" into "opportunity" without making people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Yigang wanted to continue asking, but Zhong Muping added: "Oh, by the way, Captain Chen, we will meet at the place later. Don't tell my wife that you are a policeman. She...hey, she doesn't like the police."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the co-pilot Jiang Fanlei turned his head and said dissatisfied: "Brother Zhong, why didn't you tell me about this before? What do you mean by not liking the police? What's wrong with the police?"

He felt Chen Yi was insulted.

Chen Yi also wanted to know and looked at Zhong Muping who was driving in the back seat.

Zhong Muping smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry. My wife has dealt with the police before, and she must have had some unpleasantness. She didn't tell me more about the details. In short, she doesn't like the police very much. Captain Chen, I'm sorry."

Chen Yi said: "It's okay, it's understandable. I just said that my family runs a company."

Zhong Muping said gratefully: "This is the best, thank you very much."

Chen Yi: "Mr. Zhong is too polite. We are all friends and should be considerate of each other. I wonder what the name of Mr. Zhong's wife is? Can you tell me?"

Zhong Muping smiled and said: "It's inconvenient to say this. It's a coincidence that she and Captain Chen have the same last name, Chen Shiran."

"Chen Shiran? What a good name." Chen Yi pretended to play with his mobile phone and sent the three words Chen Shiran to He Xin, "Poetry, ambition, ran, burning. Mr. Zhong's wife seems to be a strong and resolute woman. "

Zhong Muping was surprised: "Captain Chen also knows how to measure words? You are right, Shiran does have a strong character, and she founded the company. I later resigned and worked with her." Jiang Fanlei turned around and said suspiciously: " Chen Yi, when did you learn how to read Chinese characters and tell fortunes? Can you tell me your fortune?"

Chen Yi coughed lightly: "I just said nonsense, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right. It's just idle chatter."

Jiang Fanlei lost interest, and several people in the car laughed.

Not long after, Hexin sent Chen Shiran's personal information.

Chen Shiran, 33 years old, is the main shareholder of Yujia Car Rental Company. Her net worth is about 20 million to 50 million. Although she cannot compare with the Chen Group, she is also a very successful female entrepreneur.

"Eating soft food?"

Chen Yi's eyes moved slightly, and with his strong personality and company ownership, Zhong Muping's married life was probably not very good under normal circumstances.

love?

Even if there is love, there are strengths and weaknesses on both sides of the marriage. Now it seems that Zhong Muping is obviously the weak one.

Does this have anything to do with the other party inviting me?

He didn't know that suspicion and analysis had become his habit. As long as there was anything unreasonable or wrong, he would pay special attention to it.

"Mr. Zhong, who are the others?" Chen Yi asked again.

Zhong Muping: "I don't know about that."

Chen Yi: "Oh... okay."

I really don’t know or I don’t know? It's more likely to be fake, otherwise why would he invite himself to Eshan Manor?

He has now begun to look at this matter with a sinister attitude. Who made Zhong Muping behave so weirdly.

As for why Chen Yi was invited, Zhong Muping gave his own answer on the way.

First of all, he heard about Chen Yi's deeds, and he naturally had a filter for criminal policemen who were strong in solving crimes. After arriving in Yangcheng, of course he wanted to get to know each other. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, the other person turned out to be good friends with Jiang Fanlei.

Originally, he wanted Jiang Fanlei to introduce him to make friends, but unfortunately, Chen Yi was already preparing to fly to the Imperial City.

So another coincidence came. There was an exchange meeting in Imperial City recently, and he invited Jiang Fanlei to attend, euphemistically calling it a mutual help between friends.

After arriving at the Imperial City, the last coincidence occurred. It was rare for the mountaintop manor to welcome guests, so Zhong Muping invited Jiang Fanlei and brought Chen Yi with him.

Chen Yi was relieved after hearing these words. There are many coincidences in the world, but if you look deeper, they are inevitable.

As for why the other party went to Yangcheng for no reason, Chen Yi did not ask further questions.

Just click until you understand it in your heart.

Halfway through the journey, the three of them chatted about business matters, mainly about Jiang Fanlei. With him joining the conversation, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

"What a pity. If Captain Chen takes over the family business, the Chen Group will have a great future."

Zhong Muping never stopped praising Chen Yi, but it was not intentional. Chen Yi's dual identity is already eye-catching, so it is normal to want to curry favor with him.

Jiang Fanlei originally thought that Zhong Muping wanted something from Chen Yi. After waiting for several hours and seeing no movement, he lost interest and stopped caring, and began to look forward to the end of the trip.

Like Chen Yifang and Shuyu, he is also looking forward to Eshan Manor. Everyone is curious.

The vehicle arrived in Wan County and continued north, eventually leaving the city and arriving in the wilderness. After dozens of kilometers, the vehicle began to climb a hill.

Chen Yi turned sideways and looked at the windshield. There was a mountain road ahead, but the road condition was not good and the road was narrow and it was impossible to meet cars.

In some places, the speed is even less than ten kilometers per hour, and you must pass by at a cautious turtle speed.

On the other side is the bottom of the mountain.

If this falls, you will be injured even if you don't die. It's very dangerous.

In response to this, Chen Yi couldn't help frowning and asked Fang Shuyu to fasten his seat belt and keep an eye on Zhong Muping.

He felt like he was handing over his life to others. As long as Zhong Muping moved the steering wheel, the whole car would be in trouble. Although he didn't know Zhong Muping and could not have any grudge, who knew whether it would affect Chi Yu.

"This is Mount E. It's very steep and there are many legends. I heard Shiran talk about it."

While driving, Zhong Muping smiled and spoke.

Chen Yi and Chen Yi didn't speak. Jiang Fanlei asked: "What legend?"

Zhong Muping gave it away with a mysterious smile: "It's just a legend. It must be false. I'm afraid you will be scared if I tell you."

Jiang Fanlei grinned: "I'm afraid of a ball. Could it be that it's haunted?"

Zhong Muping said: "It's not a ghost, it's a big demon."

Jiang Fanlei was curious: "Tell me more specifically."

Zhong Muping: "To put it simply, animal skeletons and human skeletons often appeared on Mount E many, many years ago. At first, nearby villagers thought they died from the mouths of beasts, but then someone saw with their own eyes...a monkey squatting in a tree. On the mountain, it quickly turned into white bones at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from time to time, it turned into a monster entrenched in Mount E, capable of devouring flesh and blood."

After listening, Jiang Fanlei complained in disappointment: "That's it? That's it? I thought it was so exciting."

Zhong Muping smiled and said: "Eshan was not called Eshan before. It was precisely because of this legend that it was renamed Eshan. It means that there will be disasters on the mountain. I don't know when the change was made. Anyway, it has been a long time. It is estimated to be hundreds. It’s possible for thousands of years.”

Jiang Fanlei: "Then...has the rumored thing happened on the mountain in so many years?"

Zhong Muping: "That's not true..."

Jiang Fanlei waved his hand: "Pull him down."

This kind of conversation was just for fun, so the two of them didn't talk much.

In the back seat, Chen Yi had been playing with his mobile phone. At this time, the signal was already very weak and the Internet speed was extremely slow. He wanted to search for the legend about Eshan and the name change problem, but nothing came up for a long time, so he gave up.

Whether it is a ghost or a demon, it must be fake. Pang Qian's case is an example. He didn't think much about it, just out of curiosity.

The owner of the manor should also know about this, but he would definitely not believe it, otherwise he would not build a manor here.

The vehicle continues to drive.
