Chapter 661 Discovery of the Emerald in the City Tomb

"Big bus...reversing?"

On the shopping street outside the Mihua Municipal Building, Gao Yuan looked at this obviously not spacious shopping street after listening to Police Officer Meguro's explanation of what happened at the scene, and felt very strange——

The location of the fortune teller's stall is located at a T-junction in the middle of the shopping street, on the sidewalk. I really can't figure out why the big bus reverses at this intersection——

"This bus came out of the parking lot of that hotel, but because the street of this commercial street is too narrow, with the size of this big bus, in order to make a U-turn, it had to drive on the sidewalk here, or it would turn around at all. .”

Police officer Mu Mu pointed to the parking lot of a hotel just next to it and explained.

As for this, Gao Yuan made a general comparison. Judging from the location of the exit of the parking lot, it is indeed as Police Officer Megure said, if the car is not backed up by the way, there is no need for the vehicle to come out of the hotel parking lot. It is not possible to complete a U-turn, and due to the limited space in the parking lot, it is not supported for large buses to complete a U-turn in the parking lot.

But even so, things were weird—

"Reversing on this road, with the level of a big bus driver, you should be very careful? How could it hit the point of death? Could it be that the brakes failed?"

Feeling strange, Gao Yuan asked aloud.

Facing Gao Yuan's question, Police Officer Mumu couldn't help shaking his head and sighed:

"Indeed, it is reasonable to say that this big bus is equipped with a reversing image. Even from the height of the big bus, the fortune teller sitting at a fortune-telling stall is in a blind spot of the rearview mirror, but due to the reversing image , so the driver should be able to see the scene behind the car. And this is not the first time this car has backed up here, and there has never been any accident before..."

As he said that, Police Officer Mumu looked at the bus driver who was being questioned, and said with a serious look in his eyes:

"However, according to the driver, he said that after he heard the screams, the reversing image was obviously still some distance away from the fortune teller, which is very strange..."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's eyes also looked at the bus driver in uniform who was questioned by Police Officer Takagi within the cordon.

I saw that the driver was panicking, and kept saying "what I said is true!" in his mouth, constantly emphasizing that he didn't pretend it on purpose——

"After hearing the screams, I really saw her still telling fortunes on the screen! I really don't know what's going on!"

As for this, hearing the driver's justification, Police Officer Mumu was a little angry, and went up to question:
"How could such a thing happen! How could you still see her image after bumping into someone? You must have been too frightened to read it wrong!"

"No, no..."

Frightened by Police Officer Mumu, the driver's expression became even more frightened, and he began to tremble, shaking his head in denial:

"I really saw her telling a female high school student's fortune!"

"But it's not right..."

In this regard, Takagi also questioned the driver's defense:
"The lady fortune teller was doing a fortune-telling for an office worker at the time."

"No, it's impossible..."

Hearing Gao Mushe's words, the driver looked in disbelief, and retorted hysterically.

But seeing his incoherent appearance, Police Officer Mu Mu finally had to order:
"You'd better go back with us and calm down before explaining! Take it away!"

After speaking, the two police officers on the scene stepped forward and grabbed the driver's shoulders, one from the left and the other from the right. They were afraid that he would act aggressively, and forcibly pulled him towards the police car.

In this regard, the driver, who was indeed overly frightened, turned his head and shouted helplessly to Officer Mumu:

"Please trust me! Please trust me..."

However, the stern police officer Mumu ignored this, but continued to ask the forensics staff present to complete the on-site investigation as soon as possible——

"The way he tried so hard to explain, it doesn't look like he's lying..."

At this moment, Gao Yuan, who watched the scene silently, heard Xiao Ai's voice gradually approaching him from behind, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Ai and Hongzi also followed Gao Yuan to the position outside the warning line. Stand beside Gao Yuan.

Seeing the driver's expression when he was taken away, Xiao Ai frowned slightly, explaining like this.

As for this, Hongzi on the side said helplessly:

"It's ironic that she was a fortune teller who said she was a good fortune teller, but she died just like that!"

"Do you think it was an accident?"

Looking at the tragedy in front of him, thinking of Xiao Ai who was still frightened by the fortune teller's prediction yesterday, he asked Gao Yuan about it.

Looking carefully at the situation at the scene, Gao Yuan thought for a while, then murmured:
"This is not the first time that this big bus is reversing at this location, and there is also a reversing image on the car. It stands to reason that unless the driver deliberately pretends not to see it, he must be able to find the distance behind his car through the reversing image. How far is it from the fortune teller booth.

"Of course, it may be that he saw it, but the driver accidentally stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator, causing the vehicle to quickly hit the booth behind the car, killing the fortune teller and the customers who were telling fortunes, and because it was his own operation In an accident caused by a mistake, the driver chose to lie in order to avoid responsibility, isn't it possible..."

Having said that, Gao Yuan looked deeply at the location of the stall where the accident happened, and frowned slightly——

"However, as far as it is now, since this bus is not the first time to back up here, I want to come to the fortune teller and I have encountered the situation that the bus came out and backed up when I was telling the fortune, but because there has been no accident before, so this time It seems understandable that a fortune teller didn't choose to dodge because he saw a big bus backing up..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, recalling what the driver said just before he was taken away, and then slowly said:

"It's not like an accident, there may be something else hidden!"

After finishing speaking, subconsciously, Gao Yuan wanted to continue to go forward and stop the police officer Megure who was investigating in the cordon of the scene, and wanted to ask some more specific details, but at this moment——

"Hey! Mr. Gao Yuan! Are you here too?"

I only heard a familiar girl's voice calling out Gao Yuan's name from behind Gao Yuan, and then came to Gao Yuan's side with light steps——

It is a castle mound emerald.

According to the agreement with Hongzi Koizumi, Shirozuka Jade did indeed come to the fortune teller's booth today.

However, Chengzhong Jadeite, who was obviously late, looked at the warning line in front of her, and after roughly what had happened, Chengzhong Jadeite couldn't help but feel a little lost——

"This...is it impossible..."

"That's right, the fortune teller who was a good fortune teller had an accident. He was hit by a backing bus while telling his fortune, and died."

Gao Yuan nodded silently and replied.

"what?"

Feeling even more surprised by this, Chengzhong Jade drooped her head and said helplessly:
"That's it...it's hard for someone to crack the secret of this fortune teller! Now, it's meaningless..."
