Chapter 370 Ma Baobao’s Self-Report
Hearing singing in this environment?
The hair on my body stood up immediately.
Don’t talk about him, Lin Fan also felt a little scared.
But when she saw Sister Xu taking out the compass, looking at it for a while, and shaking her head at her and John Woo, she knew it was not that.
Since it wasn't that, she wasn't so frightened.
From here, Lin Fan took the lead and followed the sound with a few others.
Not long after, other people also heard the sound of singing, including men and women, old and young, quite mixed.
Lin Fan couldn't tell the direction, so he just followed the sound, making twists and turns, when his eyes suddenly brightened up, and after another turn, a group of people came into view.
They were sitting and standing, in groups of three or five, gathering and dispersing naturally.
Some old people are holding their children doing handicrafts, some are chatting, young people are carrying things and building shelves, and there are children dancing and singing around the fire...
Everything looks contented, warm and happy.
If you ignore the current environment...
"Dad! Mom!" The fellow immediately recognized a familiar figure in the crowd and rushed over.
Lin Fan quickly exchanged glances with Sister Xu and John Woo, and followed them.
"Son? Why are you back?" When the old lady saw her son rushing over, her already smiling face smiled even wider.
"Mom, why are you here?" The fellow held his mother's warm palms and saw that the old couple were fine from head to toe, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Where's the child?"
"Hey, he's playing there." The old man pursed his lips toward the fire.
As soon as the fellow turned around, he saw his son sitting on the ground, playing with who knows what. He quickly walked over and held him in his arms.
"What are you..." The fellow looked at everything harmonious and strange in front of him and didn't know where to start.
Lin Fan looked at the scene in front of him and had a strange feeling, so he whispered to John Woo. "If you don't look at their clothes and change into animal skins, does this scene look like..."
It is simply a scene from a primitive tribe, real life.
Except for the parents of the fellow villagers, everyone else seemed not to notice them when they arrived. They still maintained their previous expressions and did what they were doing.
Wu Yusen had already seen Ma Baobao who was holding a rope to fix the wooden frame. He made sure that the others were safe and walked over.
He had already walked up to him, but Ma Baobao was still focused on what he was doing and didn't react at all.
Helpless, John Woo could only call him. "Baby Ma?"
Baby Ma raised his head and looked at the strangers in front of him with confusion in his eyes, "You are..."
"We are from the police station. Your company reports you Lost contact, let's come over and investigate." John Woo came up with his previous excuse.
"Loss of contact?" Ma Baobao was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled, "No, no, how could I have lost contact? I am doing well here, and my work is going smoothly. I don't know how good it is. Don't worry."
After that, he started tying the wood in his hands again.
Lin Fan frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Isn't your work expected to be completed in four months? How far along are you now? Can it be completed on time?"
"Yes," Ma Baobao said The work kept going on inside, and he raised his head and smiled, "It's almost completed. The new line is basically set up and is being connected these days. It will be debugged and tested in less than half a month."
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the seriousness with which he was busy with his work, she almost thought that the job he was talking about was to tie the wooden frame.
But then again, why is he, an outsider who repairs pipelines, running underground with a group of old men and women to tie up wooden frames?
Lin Fan couldn't explain it, but he always felt a strong sense of weirdness.
"You had an ex-girlfriend who broke up with you before, do you remember?" Sister Xu decided to complete the task first.
Hearing this, Ma Baobao finally stopped what he was doing, stood up, and showed a helpless expression. "What happened to her? Did she bother the neighbors? Or did she call the police on you?"
As if thinking suddenly, her eyes widened, "She couldn't have called the police to find me, you lied to me Is the company looking for me? I asked, why would someone from our company suddenly look for me? The boss wanted me to stay away."
Lin Fan and Wu Yusen looked at each other.
There are no problems with memory or logic.
"No, your ex-girlfriend has passed away." Sister Xu replied coldly. Ma Baobao didn't expect this answer. He was stunned for a moment, then showed an angry look, "What are you talking about? You can't say such nonsense!"
"Really, before you My girlfriend has been dead for more than three months." John Woo took out the news screenshot on his phone.
When he knew there was no signal here, he made preparations in advance.
Ma Baobao read the news carefully and frowned so much that he could kill a mosquito.
Wu Yusen took the phone back from his hand and asked the mission question. "Can you tell us why you didn't answer her call? This is about the cause of her death. Please answer truthfully."
Baby Ma was stunned and his eyes were a little dull. "Did I kill her by not answering the phone?"
Slowly shaking his head, he murmured, "I didn't expect it, I didn't want it, I didn't know..."
< br>"Baby Horse!"
As soon as Sister Xu's voice came out, Ma Baobao suddenly woke up, with an expression of guilt, sadness, helplessness and regret. The whole person doesn't look very good.
"Her personality is quite paranoid." Ma Baobao sighed, looking at the burning bonfire and the singing and dancing children, "I once wanted to adapt, but it was really difficult to adapt, so I just wanted to Forget it, let's break up, it's better than getting married in the future and becoming a resentful couple. Everyone will be unhappy, divorce, and the children will suffer."
Lin Fan listened quietly, feeling that Ma Baobao was not the same. The scumbag she imagined.
If it were her, she might make such a decision.
“But I said that she was originally paranoid...” Ma Baobao lowered his head when he said this, with tears in his eyes, as if he was nostalgic, “So this breakup went very badly. Good luck.”
"I broke the truth with her and talked about it. It was good for both of us, but she couldn't accept it. She said she would change, but her behavior became more and more paranoid. I couldn't bear it at all." Ma Baobao said While shaking his head.
Lin Fan disagreed with this paragraph.
Breaking up is definitely good for Ma Baobao, but his ex-girlfriend obviously feels bad and is unwilling to let go.
But there is no need to say this.
“So, after I had said everything clearly and couldn’t communicate with her properly, I moved directly out of my original residence.” Ma Baobao sighed, “As a result, she couldn’t find me, so she went to the company It caused a lot of trouble for my work. Our leader almost fired me.”
"At that time, there happened to be this expatriate job, so I volunteered for it." He smiled helplessly, "But she found out that after I left, she stopped going to the company and called me every day to talk. It’s the same old thing. I was really annoyed, so I just blacklisted her.”
…This is simply cause and effect.
“So on the day of her accident, the text messages and phone calls she sent were all because you put her on the blacklist and didn’t know the situation, so you didn’t receive them at all? It’s not that you saw her threatening messages. , Ignoring her on purpose?" Lin Fan couldn't express what he felt in his heart, and could only sigh that it was fate.
Baby Ma was suddenly startled when he heard the date. "That day? No! I blocked her for about a week and then released her from the blacklist, but I never heard from her again. I thought she had figured it out..."
< br>Baobao Ma was afraid that they wouldn’t believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and showed it to them.
The ex-girlfriend’s phone number was not on the blacklist, but her last phone call record was a week before the accident.
He sighed deeply, feeling deeply guilty about his ex-girlfriend.
Lin Fan quickly searched in his mind for the date of Ma Baobao's business trip. One week and three days later, her ex-girlfriend had an accident. Calculated by days, she was no longer on the blacklist when the accident happened.
Baby Ma doesn’t look like he’s lying. Moreover, if he is on the blacklist, his responsibility is smaller than if he is not on the blacklist, and there is no need to lie.
In other words, when the signal was normal, he blocked his ex-girlfriend's number, causing him to be unable to receive calls.
When her number was released later, the signal could not be connected and she still couldn't receive it.
Although if there was no signal problem at that time, Ma Baobao might still block people because of phone harassment, but at least when his ex-girlfriend had an accident, it was not because of his subjective will not to answer, but because the signal was blocked. relationship.
Lin Fan felt better. "Then you never knew that the signal here can't be connected to the outside?"
"Can't connect?" Ma Baobao was stunned, "How is it possible? We are here to repair the network, how can it be impossible to connect? Is the signal bad?”
He showed his mobile phone to them somewhat unhappily.
Lin Fan and the other three came over to take a look. They didn't know where this dear friend was looking. The signal position on his mobile phone was a big red cross. Couldn't he see it?
Seeing Ma Baobao take back his phone calmly, Lin Fan peeked at John Woo and Sister Xu.
How to proceed next?
