Han Feng continued driving and ignored Lin Mo's question.
In fact, whether the other party answers or not, it is considered a response.
No response is also a response.
What Lin Mo wanted was the other party's subconscious reaction.
If the other party immediately asks 'Who is No. 1', or 'What is No. 1', or says something else at the first moment, it means that the other party is not sensitive to the word No. 1.
On the contrary, if the other party considers before answering, or even does not answer at all, it proves that the other party has a relationship with No. 1.
According to the information currently available, the last person to call Liu Hengqiang was number 1, and the call was made using Han Feng's mobile phone, so it stands to reason that Han Feng is number 1. . .
This is the conclusion drawn by normal thinking.
But Lin Mo felt that this matter could not be considered with normal thinking.
Now it seems that Han Feng must have one or more accomplices.
Let’s just count it as one.
This accomplice never showed up from the beginning to the end, so what role did he play in this matter? The dummies in the No. 4 branch have their own roles. These dummies are more like some kind of tools, a chess piece; Han Feng is a traitor, very important, but he has to be exposed in order to notify those dummies.
At the same time, Han Feng may also be the mastermind behind this incident.
So if there is another accomplice, Lin Mo doesn’t know what role this accomplice plays in this gang.
Since Lin Mo had nothing to do now anyway, he might as well go over the whole incident involving the mannequin from beginning to end.
As a result, after thinking about it, I actually found something interesting.
Now the dummy from the 4th Precinct has successfully escaped and his whereabouts are currently unknown. So if Han Feng is the planner of this incident, this planner has undoubtedly failed.
Because Han Feng exposed himself.
This meant that everyone else was safe, but he was in danger. Now, as soon as Han Feng showed up, he would be caught, which meant that he had to bear all the firepower alone.
Is there such a stupid planner?
Of course, some people would say that the situation was critical and the other party had no choice but to do so, and didn’t Han Feng also successfully escape?
But we cannot look at the problem one-sidedly.
If Lin Mo himself was the one planning all this, he would definitely not choose to put himself in danger, especially from a traitor like Han Feng who had managed to sneak into the General Administration with great difficulty.
So Lin Mo felt that Han Feng was more like another chess piece.
The real controller is the person who just called him.
Perhaps, that person is the real No. 1.
These are all Lin Mo's guesses based on some details and may not be correct.
He decided to ask questions.
"Han Feng, you've already run away, you should have left Qianlong City long ago, why are you still holding me back, just let me go."
"Let you go? That won't work. You are still useful. We can't let you go now."
It turns out that there is another purpose.
This guy isn't just trying to escape Qianlong City.
"What use am I?"
“You’ll understand when you get there.”
"Is it still far?"
“It’s still another day.”
"Then find a place to stop later. I need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate!"
"OK!"
The two chatted calmly, without any impatience. If you didn't know better, you would think they were just two friends out for fun.
Half an hour later, the car stopped.
The paper bag on Lin Mo's head was taken off.
It’s no wonder that wearing the paper bag just now made Lin Mo feel like he was in the mental hospital.
It was already night time and it was very dark outside so I couldn't see where we were, but I was sure we were on a road.
"Just go to the roadside. It's dark and no one will look at you. When you're done, I have instant noodles here. As much as you can eat."
Han Feng held the gun in one hand and ate a steamed bun with the other.
He was probably hungry too.
Chewing it bite by bite.
This time, after untying the chains on Lin Mo's hands and feet, Han Feng did not continue to wear them, but he still did not relax his vigilance and the gun never left Lin Mo.
Lin Mo said, "Aren't you afraid that I will risk my real body to fight you?" Han Feng said, "You won't."
"You can also see that I brought you out for something. As long as you listen to me and don't do anything rash, I will definitely not hurt you."
After saying that, he handed Lin Mo a tea egg.
Lin Mo squatted on the side of the road, peeled the egg, threw it into the instant noodles, and ate it with great relish.
After eating and drinking, we continued on our way.
This enclosed pickup truck has a metal sheet separating the back from the cab, leaving only a small window.
Han Feng told Lin Mo that if he cooperated, he would not have to wear handcuffs and a hood this time.
Lin Mo said okay, I will definitely cooperate.
On the way, Lin Mo was really cooperative and kept chatting with Han Feng. He didn't look like a hostage at all.
I’m not used to the Korean style.
"Lin Mo, you are a good person with great courage and insight. I admire you. If everything goes well this time and nothing unexpected happens, I will get the job done and I will definitely not make things difficult for you, so don't worry."
Han Feng said this in a very sincere tone.
Lin Mo said, "What's the matter? You can tell me first."
Han Feng shook his head.
The key issue is that this guy is very tight-lipped and doesn't reveal anything.
Lin Mo could only knock from the side and use roundabout tactics to inquire.
"Did you notify those dummies in the 4th Precinct to withdraw?" Lin Mo asked.
Han Feng answered this question quite straightforwardly.
"Yes, I was the one who notified you."
Lin Mo asked again: "You are not a fake person, why did you take such a big risk to inform them? As a result, you have lost your job and become a wanted criminal. I am not trying to scare you, but your inspection notice has been sent to the whole country."
"I know that." Han Feng sighed.
It seems that he might have had no choice but to do this.
"It was the person on the phone just now who asked you to do it, right?" Lin Mo asked the key question again.
Han Feng’s response to key issues is to not respond.
"How much money did that person give you?" Lin Mo asked again.
"It's not about money. Don't ask. You don't understand."
After Han Feng finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo.
"I know you're trying to trick me, but don't forget, I joined the Security Bureau earlier than you did, and I'm older than you. You're not as experienced as I am. Don't try to trick me. I can't tell you the key things, at least not now."
Lin Mo also realized that this guy was not easy to fool.
Moreover, during the entire process, Han Feng was very alert. He kept his gun at hand and could take it at any time. Moreover, the only small window connecting the cab and the rear compartment also had a guardrail, so he absolutely could not reach his hand through.
It is impossible to counterattack the opponent.
Jumping out of the car is not an option.
The carriage was locked and very secure.
The other party had obviously made sufficient preparations.
Lin Mo could only continue to observe and wait for an opportunity.
Then I chatted with him about some other things.
When talking about family, Han Feng obviously talked a lot more.
He said he had read Lin Mo's information. His mother died shortly after he was born, and he was raised by his father. Later, after he went to college, his father also died in a car accident.
It's quite miserable.
Lin Mo said that you are not bad either, you had a happy family, a wife and a lovely son, but an accident happened and all the family members died.
Even worse.
Because Lin Mo had also read Han Feng's information.
Han Feng smiled and said, "At least I have a family and a son, but you are nothing, just a single dog."
Lin Mo also laughed and said that there were already twenty or thirty girls chasing after me, and I was dazzled by the choices. As long as I nodded, I could immediately end my single life.
The two were chatting animatedly.
Before I knew it, the sky began to brighten.
Lin Mo looked outside. He noticed that they should have crossed two provinces along the way. They were heading south, but he still didn't know Han Feng's destination.
We took a break at noon, ate something, and then drove all day.
Han Feng was very energetic throughout the whole day and kept chatting with Lin Mo, saying how cute and smart his previous children were.
Lin Mo said, stop daydreaming and focus on the future.
“With your conditions, if you find a young wife and have more children, you can have a happy family.” Lin Mo saw that the car had already entered the city.
He just looked and saw that they had arrived at Black Duck City.
Lin Mo used to come to this place often.
Moreover, Route 66, the Haunted Bus, and the Junk Alley are all in Black Duck City.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something else.
Lin Mo hoped it was just a coincidence.
"But I can't forget them." Han Feng smiled, then turned into a small road, drove for a while, and stopped in a quiet street.
Empty.
The reason is simple, this is a nightmare contaminated area.
When I came in just now, there were signs on the road.
It should be one of the earliest polluted areas designated for isolation in Heiya City. This polluted area is not large, because lights can be seen about two hundred meters away.
The depth of the entire area is about 500 meters.
Similar pollution areas exist in almost every city. They are like black spots that corrode the originally beautiful and peaceful city.
Lin Mo knew that Heiya City also built a safe zone, but of course its scale was much smaller than that of Qianlong City.
After getting off the car, Han Feng guided Lin Mo forward.
There is a shopping mall in front.
However, it had been abandoned a long time ago. It was obvious that the evacuation was very hasty. Many things, goods and commodities were still there, but they must have been visited by thieves. The glass of some shops was smashed, and the valuables must have been looted a long time ago.
For some people, being poor is more terrifying than having a nightmare.
After entering the dark mall, Han Feng turned on the flashlight and there seemed to be a figure standing in front of him.
Most people would be terrified at this time.
But both Lin Mo and Han Feng were extremely calm.
When I walked closer, I saw that the figure was a puppet model. I don't know who was so impatient to move it to the aisle.
And looking inside, there are quite a few similar puppet models.
On both sides are shops from various shopping malls, selling clothes, bags, and children's clothing.
Further ahead, there is an elevator.
But it stopped early.
Part of the elevator was missing its floor panels, revealing several large black holes that looked like a hideous monster hiding in the darkness.
Go up to the second floor via the side stairs.
Lin Mo smelled a musty and foul smell.
There is food on the second floor, and I guess they serve some rotten and spoiled food.
Continuing up the stairs, they finally stopped in front of the door of an amusement park on the third floor.
This kind of playground is the kind that is prepared for children in shopping malls. It has an ocean ball pool, some small carousels, game consoles and the like.
Seeing that Han Feng was not leaving, Lin Mo guessed that the place he was going was here.
In the dim light of the flashlight, you can see a few cartoon characters and two bears at the entrance, but in this environment, the cartoon characters add a sense of weirdness.
Han Feng looked at the time, then patted a chair next to him and sat down.
Then he asked Lin Mo to sit down as well.
Obviously the other party has been paying attention to the time, which means that the time has not yet come.
Lin Mo also sat down.
Pop.
Han Feng turned off the flashlight, and the scene suddenly fell into darkness.
Of course it was not absolute darkness, because there was a glass window next to it and there was moonlight outside.
Although the glass windows were covered in dust, some light from outside could still come in.
Han Feng lit a cigarette and started smoking, then handed one to Lin Mo, who waved his hand.
“Good habit.”
Han Feng finished speaking and continued smoking.
Seems to be full of worries.
The two of them were very chatty on the way, but when they got here, neither of them said a word, especially Han Feng, who was eerily quiet at the moment.
It's a bit like the eve of the storm.
Time passes by every second.
Lin Mo estimated that more than an hour had passed, and during this hour, Han Feng looked at the time at least seven times.
He was indeed waiting for something.
Just at this moment, there was some noise coming from the first floor of the mall.
At first Lin Mo thought that the person Han Feng was waiting for had arrived.
But he found that Han Feng was even more surprised than himself.
"Isn't this the person you are waiting for?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
Han Feng shook his head: "When did I say I was waiting for someone?"
Lin Mo thought about it and realized that the other party had indeed not said that.
Then both of them kept silent and looked down through the fence.
Someone had indeed come into the first floor because a woman's scream was heard.
"Ghost, ghost."
The voice was so loud that Lin Mo and Han Feng on the third floor couldn't help but pick their ears.
After a while, a man's voice was heard from below.
"What are they called? They are just some mannequins. Look how scared you are."
"Who is so wicked as to put a mannequin here? Isn't this meant to scare people?"
"Are you scared?"
"Haha, it's nothing big. We have all been through the nightmare world, so why would we be afraid of such a small scene? Besides, the Security Bureau has announced that the weirdness in the nightmare world cannot affect the real world. In the real world, we are absolutely safe."
“That’s right!”
"Let's hurry up, the live broadcast will start soon. The number one brother on the list said that if you broadcast live at the amusement park on the third floor of this place until 3 a.m., he will reward you with 100 super rockets. This number one brother on the list is a real rich man, we must seize the opportunity."
As they were talking, several people came up the stairs with strong flashlights.
Lin Mo didn't know the situation very well, so he kept silent at this time and waited to see what Han Feng was going to do.
The latter frowned, probably thinking about something.
Those guys came up.
There are three in total.
Two men and one woman.
They were each carrying some live broadcast equipment and a big flashlight, and they walked up straight ahead, then saw Lin Mo and Han Feng sitting on the chairs.
Ten eyes met.
This time, not only the woman, but the other two men also screamed in fright.
It’s not their fault that they are timid. At this time, in this place, and in this environment, suddenly seeing two people sitting on the chairs would make anyone collapse.
"Stop yelling." Han Feng cursed, "What are you doing? Who asked you to come here?"
After discovering that Han Feng and Lin Mo were not ghosts but living people, the three people also reacted.
One of the men was very arrogant and kept cursing.
As a result, Han Feng slapped him in the face.
Now the other party was obedient.
Tell us everything that happened.
They are from a live broadcast company. The woman is the anchor, and the two men are responsible for photography and planning. The three of them form a small team.
The content of exploring the contaminated area has been very popular recently, so the three of them also joined in, intending to make a fortune. Just this afternoon, a rich man directly rewarded the number one in their live broadcast room and sent a private message with a request.
Just let them go to this place at midnight and broadcast live until three o'clock.
By then, one hundred super rockets will appear.
It's that simple.
Lin Mo remained silent. He felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
The guy at the top of the list is really good at picking dates, why did he pick today?
There must be something going on here.
Sure enough, after a while, Han Feng's cell phone rang.
The latter answered the call.
"Yes, I'm here."
"What?"
"I see."
After a few simple words, he hung up the phone.
Then Han Feng looked at the three people again and found that their attitude had changed.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was a bit too harsh just now. This is what happened. The person who got to the top of the list is my friend. He asked you to continue. Let's start the show now."
The man who was being beaten said, "Then I got beaten for nothing. No, we won't broadcast it anymore. Let's go."
"My friend said he would give you another thousand super rockets."
When the three heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
"Then let's get started!"
"Come on, the equipment is ready."
"Xiao Mei, get ready. 3, 2, 1, start..."
Thank you for the dream chasing reward, and I wish you all the best in the Year of the Tiger!
I’m also asking for your monthly votes. I’ve dropped out of the top 300 now. Let’s sprint forward. Come on.
