48 Hours a Day

After another section of gravel road, the off-road vehicle finally drove into the urban area of ​​Nuuk.

Nuuk, the largest city on Greenland and the administrative center, is home to about 17,000 people.In China, this may be the number of people in the two communities, but it can be called dense on this island. After all, Ilulissat, the third largest city in Greenland, has only 5,000 people, and the whole city has a total of 5,000 people. The six police officers, in fact, the locals are more accustomed to calling all cities except Nuuk as settlements.

Nuuk is small, but it has all the internal organs, and I don’t know if it was influenced by Denmark. The colors of the houses on the coast are also varied, red, blue, yellow and purple. Just like a fairy tale world, the city’s various infrastructures are quite complete. , The location of the wharf is the most lively, fishing boats passing by, sending baskets of freshly caught seafood ashore.

Fishing and mining are also the mainstay of Greenland’s economy, and probably because it is summer, the snow in the city is gone, and there are small yellow flowers blooming on the roadside, swaying in the wind.

Songjia parked the off-road vehicle outside a convenience store, bought two cups of hot cocoa to cushion her belly, drank one cup by herself, and handed one cup to Zhang Heng. The latter thanked him for taking the cocoa, but waited for Songjia to deliver her own cup. After drinking, he found that Zhang Heng hadn't touched another cup at all.

"Don't you taste it?" Songjia asked, "It's delicious, especially in winter, when the temperature here will drop below zero. At that time, drinking a cup of hot cocoa is nothing happier than this. Up."

"I'm a little allergic to cocoa." Zhang Heng casually found an excuse to stop him.

Greenland is a completely unfamiliar place to him, and he is here to investigate what happened 18 years ago. Although he didn't tell anyone else before the trip, he was not sure whether Chronos would know him by any means. After all, he is the agent of the former, and Chronos considers himself his guardian angel, who has always been haunting him.

In addition, Zhang Heng has investigated Songjia’s resume. During this period of contact after getting off the plane, he did not find any problems with the girl, but he would not let his guard down. Know that his current opponent is not only the player but also the gods, so many Things cannot be judged according to common sense.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I should ask you before I buy it." Song Jia quickly apologized.

"It's okay, if there is nothing else, let's get on with the business."

"Okay, this is very close to the University of Greenland. Let's go to the school first and see if he is there."

Songjia drank the hot cocoa to replenish her energy, and then drove the off-road vehicle outside the University of Greenland, but she asked the school students to find out that Baker had just left here after get off work not long ago.

Although the two parties regretted missing it, Songjia also knew where Baker was now, and soon brought Zhang Heng to Baker's residence.

Dr. Baker’s house is close to the sea, where you can see the sunset and sunrise, and because of the unique location of Greenland, the ratio of day to night here is also amazing.Taking the present as an example, in the summer Greenland has more than 21 hours of sunshine, so although it is now 6 pm, the sky has not darkened at all. On the contrary, in winter, Greenland will only have 3 hours of daylight.

"Huh." Songjia said softly after stopping the car.

And Zhang Heng on the side was also looking around, "What's the matter?"

"I didn't expect his clinic to close so early." Song Jia said, and then explained, "Dr. Baker's residence is with the clinic. The first floor is where he receives the doctor and the second floor is his bedroom."

"Does he have a wife and children?" Zhang Heng asked as he opened the car door.

"No, he usually lives alone. It is said that when he first came, he hired a young girl to treat patients, but later found out that the clinic had no business, so he quit the person again, reducing the cost, and adding The other salary received by the University of Greenland is considered to support it."

Songjia turned off the engine, got out of the car, and came to the door closed by Dr. Baker, but then she found that Zhang Heng, who was very positive about this along the way, was standing next to the car and did not move.

Song Jia followed Zhang Heng's gaze and saw a row of glass windows, "Oh, there is a tavern, do you want to come here for a drink when you are finished?"

"Let's talk at that time." Zhang Heng was noncommittal, retracted his gaze, and came to Song Jia's side.

The latter took a breath, then reached out and knocked on the door.

There was no reaction in the room.

"Didn't he come back directly after get off work?" Song Jia whispered, adding some strength to make sure it could be heard by the people inside.

However, there was still no response.

So Songjia walked around to the window on the west side of the hut, put her hand on the window, and looked inside, but she soon regretted her action.

Zhang Heng heard a scream, and then saw Song Jia take two steps backwards quickly, but didn't pay attention to the slope below her feet, and almost did not roll off from above. Fortunately, at a critical moment, a hand dragged her back.

"Are you OK."

"I...I'm okay." Song Jia was obviously still a little frightened, and Zhang Heng quickly found the reason for her scream.

This is because a middle-aged man who is about fifty years old is standing behind the translucent curtain and looking at them coldly. There is no blood on his pale face. Songjia just estimated that he was facing his face. Together.

"Doctor Baker?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's Doctor Baker. I didn't expect him to be at home, and he was on the first floor. Why didn't he come to open the door just now." Songjia had already stood firm at this moment and was also out of fear Freed, she and Dr. Baker knew each other, but I just didn't expect the latter to be standing by the window.

After Zhang Heng saw that Dr. Baker also moved, the door of the room was finally opened after a long while, but he did not go out, standing behind the door, and then said something in Danish.

Zhang Heng did not wait for Songjia to speak, and said in English, "I feel that I have some mental problems. I often feel nervous for no reason. I can't fall asleep normally at night and I sweat. I heard that you are the only one on the island. Psychiatrist, let Songjia take me to see you."

Doctor Baker frowned and looked at Zhang Heng after hearing this. After a while, he looked at the travel bag in Zhang Heng's hand, "Are you a tourist?"

"Yes, not long after he got off the plane, I went to pick him up at the airport." Song Jia said.

"come in."

Dr. Baker didn't say anything, and finally got out of the door.
