Chapter 871 The Looming Red Moon

Ningchang County.

Sunset coastline.

Black vans galloped across the wide road and stopped at the edge of the coastline. A large number of people got out of the vehicles and silently and quickly began to pull up a cordon around the coastline.

"Eh? What's going on? Why is it still closed?"

"Yeah, isn't this a scenic spot?"

"What happened up front?"

"I do not know……"

"..."

The tourists who were still checking in and taking pictures on the coast saw this scene and started talking about it. Soon, someone came to maintain order, evacuate these tourists, and completely blocked the passage to enter the scenic spot.

A car stopped around the cordon, and several figures in dark red cloaks got out of the car and quickly approached the coastline.

"Hello, I'm the captain of Team 197 in Ningchang County, Zhou Dao." The leading man stretched out his hand and shook hands with another man who had just evacuated the tourists.

"I am the special investigator of the Shanghai headquarters, Lu Ruici."

After the two shook hands, they quickly walked across the cordon and walked towards the coastline ahead.

"What's the situation here now?" Zhou Dao looked at the busy crowd and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you came to find the missing [Masquerade] team? Why did you put up such a big battle here?"

"This is an order from Commander Zuo himself, Master Chen is also on his way."

"Is the situation serious enough?"

Lu Ruici didn't explain much, just nodded slightly, and he pointed to the end of the coastline ahead.

"Has anything happened around here before?"

Zhou Dao pondered for a moment, "No, no 'mysterious' incidents have happened around here, but after receiving your information, I immediately checked the local police files and found that there have been three cases of disappearance here."

"Disappearance case?"

"That's right. It's all cases where some tourists came here to play and then suddenly disappeared. The longest time span was more than 30 years ago, and no one has been found yet."

Lu Ruici nodded thoughtfully.

"Shouldn't we go in and check the situation first?" Seeing that everyone was standing neatly outside the cordon without taking half a step, Zhou Dao couldn't help asking in doubt.

"No, Commander Zuo has an order. We can only act when Mr. Chen arrives." Lu Ruici said firmly.

"When will Master Chen arrive?"

Lu Ruici was about to speak, as if he had noticed something, he turned his head to look at the end of the sea level.

Between the blue sky and the sea, a carriage passed through the tumbling waves like a ghost, stepped on the sea, and was approaching here at an alarming speed. As the body shook, the copper bell hanging from the front of the carriage jingled .

"He's here." The corners of Lu Ruici's mouth rose slightly.

The ghost carriage swept across the sea at an alarming speed, and finally stopped in front of the two of them.

The door curtain of the carriage was drawn up, Master Chen in a gray robe sat behind the low table, holding a cup in his hand, glanced at the two of them calmly, and asked, "Who is Lu Ruici?"

"It's me, Master Chen."

"Where is Zuo Qing talking about? Is there any news from the [Night Curtain] team?"

"There is no news from the [Night Curtain] team..." Lu Ruici stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction, "But the coordinates they left before they disappeared are just ahead. Commander Zuo has ordered us to cooperate with you when you come."

"Um."

Master Chen nodded, "Get in the car, let's go and have a look."

Zhou Dao was startled, and turned to look at Lu Ruici, who nodded slightly at him, and stepped into the carriage first, followed by Zhou Dao.

"This carriage looks so new." Sitting in the carriage, Zhou Dao looked around curiously, and couldn't help saying.

Master Chen's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

Lu Ruici coughed lightly, leaned into Zhou Dao's ear, and whispered, "During the battle of the gods two years ago, Master Chen's carriage was smashed by the God of Nine Pillars... This is a new car."

Only then did Zhou Dao realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Master Chen took a sip of tea slowly, his eyes were calm, "It was true that my skills were not as good as the gods back then..."

He glanced leisurely at the "heart scene" outside the window where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and continued,

"But now, they can't do it."

"drive!"

The book boy sitting in front of the carriage drove forward, and the copper bell hanging on the eaves jingled again. Master Chen waved his hand lightly, and the "heart scene" of singing birds and flowers disappeared without a trace. The next moment, the walls and ceiling of the entire carriage seemed to be Fades like ink, sitting in the carriage, you can clearly see the coastline outside.

"360° sunroof without blind spots?" Zhou Dao opened his mouth in shock, "Is this new car so smart?"

Lu Ruici glared at him, Zhou Dao silently closed his mouth again.

The carriage rushed, and the coastline outside the car window retreated rapidly, Lu Ruici's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Strange...it should be right here." Lu Ruici looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where's the fishing village? Why didn't you see the fishing village?"

Rough waves crashed on the gray-brown shore, and there was not even a hermit crab around the carriage except for a barren gravel beach, let alone the fishing village that Lin Qiye mentioned on the phone.

"Could it be that the address is wrong?" Zhou Dao asked.

"Impossible, the signal location of the last call is also here, there is no mistake."

At this moment, Master Chen seemed to have noticed something with his eyes closed all the time. He opened his eyes and said suddenly, "Stop the car."

The bookboy tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped quickly.

Master Chen flickered and flew out of the carriage, standing on the barren gravel beach in a gray robe, frowning slightly.

Zhou Dao and Lu Ruici got out of the car and looked around, but found nothing.

"Master Chen, what did you find?"

Master Chen didn't answer. He stood on the shore, staring up at the blue sky, narrowing his eyes slightly.

After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to the half-hidden moon shadow in the sky.

"From this angle... the moon is red."

...

Shangjing City, the headquarters of the Night Watchman.

"Can't find that fishing village?" Zuo Qing received the call, his eyes became serious, he thought carefully for a moment, and said, "Chen Lu did not deny the existence of that fishing village, which means that the address given by Lin Qiye should be correct. Maybe that fishing village used some other means to hide itself..."

Zuo Qing glanced at Chen Lu who was still in the interrogation room, and every conversation he had with him quickly flashed through his mind.

In the initial conversation, Chen Lu was very surprised that he and others found the fishing village, but when he answered the date, he laughed again...

Could it be that the key to deciding whether to enter the fishing village is the date?
