Chapter 38 Villa in the Mountains
The car that Qiao Kang was talking about was a large, somewhat old Jinbei. As soon as he opened the door, a pungent smell hit him in the face.

It smells like a mixture of insecticide and alcohol.

Generally speaking, these two things are sprayed together to cover up some bad smell.

Lin Jue moved his nose and sniffed the air, and smelled a faint strange smell, but the smell of insecticide and alcohol was too strong, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Jia Jia pinched her nose and hid far away, very disgusted: "Brother Kang, you live in a villa at least, why do you drive such a shabby car?"

"I don't really care about cars." Qiao Kang opened the driver's door, plopped down, and patted the passenger seat next to him. "Besides, the Jinbei is spacious. Come on in."

"Tsk." Jia Jia rolled her eyes and sat in the passenger seat.

The young couple sat in the second row, and Lin Jue and Peace Dove sat in the last row.

After everyone was seated, the Jinbei car started slowly and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

Suolong Mountain is located ten kilometers outside Sanjiang City. It is a long journey and takes about two hours to drive there.

Qiao Kang drove quietly while Jia Jia pulled down the sun visor and put on makeup in front of the mirror.

Peace Dove huddled in the corner, not saying a word since getting on the bus.

Lin Jue was chatting enthusiastically with the young couple. He learned from the conversation that the man's name was Chen Fugui and the girl's name was Yaoyao, and they had been together since graduating from high school.

"I really envy your relationship. You've been together for so long and are still inseparable."

Lin Jue showed an envious expression, but when he looked through the two people's circle of friends yesterday, it seemed that they had only been together for a year.

After all, I just posted anniversary photos not long ago.

Why would these two guys lie?

"What about you? What do you do?" Yaoyao turned her head and looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue replied, "I just graduated with a master's degree from Sanjiang University and haven't started looking for a job yet."

"Wow!" Yaoyao's eyes lit up. "You're so handsome and well-educated, there must be a lot of girls who like you."

"Yaoyao!" Chen Fugui pulled his girlfriend with a dissatisfied tone.

"I know, I know." Yaoyao muttered, then leaned over to the passenger seat and asked, "Sister Jiajia, what do you do?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Jia Jia reached out and touched her hair: "I'm a model."

"No wonder you're so beautiful."

I have to say that Yaoyao is really good at providing emotional value. She made Jiajia smile with just one sentence, and the two girls started chatting quickly.

model?

Lin Jue's eyes moved slightly. He looked at his friends' circle yesterday and guessed that Jia Jia was a live broadcaster, but he didn't expect that she was a model.

"Am I wrong, or is she lying about her profession?"

I looked at my friends’ circles and they all seemed normal yesterday, but when we met in person, everything seemed a little abnormal.

He turned to look at the peace dove huddled in the corner, smiling brightly: "Brother, what do you do?"

"Don't laugh like that, it's disgusting." Peace Dove glanced at Lin Jue with a cold expression: "A vagrant."

Lin Jue didn't show any emotion because of the other party's bad comments. Instead, the smile on his face became brighter: "Brother, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"

The dove of peace didn't say anything else, turned its head to the side and looked out the window.

Seeing that the other person has no desire to chat, it seems that you can't get anything out of him/her.

Lin Jue didn't want to make himself look bad anymore. He picked up the bag on the ground and asked, "Are you hungry? I brought a lot of snacks, including potato chips and spicy noodles."

"I want to eat, I want to eat." Yaoyao was the first to respond: "I wanted to bring some too, but Fugui insisted on bringing instant noodles and bread, leaving me with no room in my bag for snacks."

"Do you have cucumber-flavored potato chips?" Jia Jia, the co-pilot, then asked. "Yes, they do."

Lin Jue opened the zipper, and the van just passed over a speed bump, causing the body of the van to shake.

He cried out, and several bags of snacks and a bronze dagger fell out of his bag at the same time.

The blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the carriage suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on the bronze dagger, with different expressions.

Even the dove of peace that had been looking out the window turned around and stared at the dagger.

"Oh, I told my mom I don't eat fruit, but she insisted on giving me a fruit knife."

Lin Jue pretended to be helpless and observed everyone's expressions as he spoke.

Jia Jia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, covered her mouth and looked at Lin Jue with some horror. Yao Yao's reaction was similar to hers.

Chen Fugui remained calm and chuckled twice: "Your fruit knife is quite unique. Which dynasty is it from?"

The peace dove's pupils shrank and it looked at Lin Jue meaningfully.

As for Qiao Kang, he was concentrating on driving, so he just glanced back quickly when he heard the sound, and it was not known whether he saw it or not.

"Sorry sorry."

Lin Jue picked up the bronze dagger and put it back into his bag. He had let it fall out on purpose just to test everyone's reaction.

Jia Jia and the young couple looked like they didn't recognize the strange weapon. It was just the reaction of ordinary people when they encountered a controlled knife.

The expression of the peace dove is quite intriguing.

The other party seemed to know that this bronze dagger was a strange weapon, which meant that he had experienced strange events and had also learned related information.

This guy is by far the most problematic.

The atmosphere in the car became weird. Yaoyao, who was originally chatting with Lin Jue, shut up and huddled close to Chen Fugui.

Jia Jia, who was at the front, kept observing Lin Jue through the rearview mirror. The peace dove beside him huddled up in a ball, as if trying to reduce its presence.
The car quickly drove out of the city, drove along the winding mountain road to Suolong Mountain, and finally stopped in a villa area.

The villa area is a bit deserted, with most of the houses being empty. Only a few have been renovated, but it seems that no one lives there.

A lot of weeds grew in the cracks of the marble floor, and the iron gate of the community was covered with rust.

Even the security booth at the door was empty, with no one on duty.

"Get out." Qiao Kang parked the car on the side of the road and asked everyone to get out.

Jia Jia's face looked a little unhappy: "Brother Kang, are you sure there is someone living here?"

This clearly looks like an unfinished building and doesn't look like a luxurious villa at all.

How can people live in such a deserted place?

"I haven't lived here in a long time. There used to be quite a lot of people here, but some of them moved away, and now there are only two families left."

Qiao Kang scratched his head and said soothingly, "But don't worry, the house is fully equipped and there are enough rooms to live in."

Everyone followed Qiao Kang into the villa. Lin Jue looked back at the Jinbei car parked on the side of the road, feeling confused.

Why not park in the garage at your villa? Is it because there is no security guard at the gate and you can't drive the car in?
But just now Lin Jue clearly saw that the barrier could be lifted by recognizing the license plate, or was it that the Jinbei license plate was not in the villa area's recognition system?

Qiao Kang and everyone stopped at the innermost villa. The villa covered an area of ​​about 200 square meters, had three floors and a large yard, and was luxuriously decorated.

As soon as he got closer, Lin Jue smelled the pungent smell from the Jinbei car again.

The smell was even stronger, coming from the direction of the villa, and could be smelled clearly even when standing outside.

Apart from this smell, it is difficult to smell anything else.
