On the way home, Ping An, Jiaozi, and Su Tang reached a happy travel plan.
They planned to rest at Ping An's house for one night, and then set off directly for Hushan the next day. They would camp in Hushan for two days and two nights before returning.
According to Ping An's plan, in addition to Ping An, Su Tang, and Jiaozi, Hei Dou, who was indispensable, would also participate in this camping activity. For safety reasons, Director Xiang, after communicating with Liao Yuan, assigned Gao Xiaofei to provide protection. Then, Ping An, under the guise of relaxing, tricked Fei Keqing into participating.
Of course, Gao Xiaofei and Fei Keqing did not know that the other was coming. This time, it was also a little selfishness of Ping An, to see if these two could reconcile.
As for the purpose of the trip, it was naturally not just for fun. As soon as Ping An returned home, Xiang Wanfeng, who had been waiting for Ping An for a long time, came to Ping An's house helplessly and whispered to Ping An for a long time.
"You mean, the entire Jiaozi is the key to all the cases?" Xiang Wanfeng twisted off the fifth cigarette he had smoked in the past twenty minutes and said incredulously, "You took Jiaozi away just to see if anyone is still watching Jiaozi's bedroom?"
"Yes, the strange things Jiaozi has encountered recently, Wang Shun fell to his death on the terrace, Han Xiao's target is probably also Jiaozi, and the drone, my god, isn't Jiaozi the key?" Ping An said, "I'll take this girl away with great fanfare and see if anyone is following or trailing her. If so, apprehend them! If not, and they continue to cause trouble at Jiaozi's house, that's another matter!"

"Why is he here too?" As soon as Fei Keqing got into the car, before she could greet everyone, she saw Gao Xiaofei sitting on the sofa drinking soy milk.
"Oh, he's a bodyguard arranged by Director Xiang!" Su Tang answered cautiously.
"If that's the case, then I'm not going!" Fei Keqing patted the car door, shouting to get out of the car.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. It's over such a small thing, and it's endless. Both sets of parents have called to apologize to each other, why are you two still like this?" Ping An pretended to be angry, pulled Fei Keqing over, made her sit opposite Gao Xiaofei, and then sat in the passenger seat himself. The two little girls lying on the back bed of the car had their eyes wide open, ready to watch the show.
However, the show wasn't that good. Before they even left the city, the two girls fell asleep. But that was fine too. It took more than three hours to get to Hushan, and they could have a great time when they arrived.
"It's settled, I only brought two double tents. The double bed in the RV will be for Su Tang and Jiaozi to sleep in, and the rest you can figure out." Ping An looked at the "little couple" glaring at each other behind him and said, suppressing a smile.
"I'll sleep with Ping An!" Gao Xiaofei couldn't help himself and said, making small talk.
"Okay, Hei Dou, then you sleep with sister tonight!" Fei Keqing followed immediately. Good heavens, that sentence almost made Hei Dou, who was concentrating on driving, bleed from his nose.
"Sister, you sleep by yourself, I'll just find a place to curl up," Hei Dou said awkwardly.
"It's okay, sleep, if you don't get enough rest, how can you drive!" Fei Keqing said provocatively, "I'll just sleep on the sofa in the car!"

The RV drove south, and the scenery outside the window was beautiful. Perhaps unable to stand the awkwardness of facing each other, Gao Xiaofei opened the car window.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, making everyone in the car shiver.
"Ping An, have you checked the weather forecast? It's already seven in the morning, and the sky is still gloomy. Is it going to rain!" Gao Xiaofei made small talk.
"I haven't checked, and it doesn't matter if I don't. It's even better if it rains. We'll sleep in the tent for three days and three nights!" Ping An replied seemingly absentmindedly, his eyes slyly looking out the window.
When they arrived at their destination, it finally started to rain.
Originally, even the toilet outside the campsite was by the Hushan camping area. I don't know if it was because many people had checked the weather forecast and knew that there would be rain in the area for the next few days, but there were only a few small tents in the vast camping area.
"Ping An, you're just fooling everyone like this?" Fei Keqing, wearing a jacket, stared at Ping An with a furious expression.
"What will be, will be!" Ping An directed awkwardly, "Everyone watch a movie in the car now, maybe the rain will be lighter later!"
"Lighter, my ass. Look, the administrator is coming over. He's probably here to kick us out!" Gao Xiaofei pointed to a distance, where an old man in overalls was walking towards them with an umbrella.
"It's raining, you should go back!" the administrator said loudly, patting the RV.

"Uncle, do we have to leave?" Ping An asked, opening the car window.
"The District Security Committee only requires Hushan to be closed. The camping area is not mentioned, but it's raining heavily. Are you planning to watch the rain scenery here?" the administrator joked.
"Yes, we're here to sketch, and we plan to paint Hushan in the rain!" Ping An lied.
"Alright, as long as you don't go up the mountain!" the administrator said loudly, glancing at the people in the car, "I'll lock the bridge across the lake later. If you want to go out, remember to find me at the management post by the lake. If I'm not there, someone else will be on duty!"
"Okay, you go ahead and be busy!" Ping An waved to the administrator.
"Ping An, are you crazy? Coming here in the rain, it's better to go back!" Fei Keqing said.
"They didn't kick us out!" Ping An said with a grin, "Watching the lake in the rain has a unique charm!"
"When they lock the bridge, we won't be able to go back even if we want to!" Fei Keqing said helplessly.
The camping area at the foot of Hushan was actually a large parking lot. Because Hushan was surrounded by a lake, and there was only a bridge about three kilometers long between Hushan and the outside world, the bridge was naturally closed when Hushan was closed due to rain. Unless someone stubbornly stayed in the camping area, the bridge would not be opened casually.
Ping An naturally ignored Fei Keqing. He knew that Fei Keqing probably wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with Gao Xiaofei. Gao Xiaofei would definitely use the enclosed space to reconcile with Fei Keqing. As for Hei Dou, as long as he was fed, he would be fine. As for those two girls, seeing Su Tang and Jiaozi run out to play in the rain without even an umbrella, they were so carefree that they didn't need to be bothered.

"I'll go down and check out the environment and see how to set up the tent!" Ping An said, "Hei Dou, you come with me!"
Soon, only Fei Keqing and Gao Xiaofei were left in the RV.
"Your dad, is he doing well?" Gao Xiaofei couldn't stand the awkward environment and asked softly.
"Not well, he's so angry!" Fei Keqing said with a grunt.
"Nonsense, I saw your dad posting breakfast on Moments just now, five steamed buns! Aren't you afraid of getting indigestion!" Gao Xiaofei said with a frown.
"When did you add my dad as a friend?" Fei Keqing got angry.
"When I found out you added my mom as a friend, I added him too!" Gao Xiaofei said with a smile, not afraid at all.
"Alright, look at you!" Fei Keqing gave Gao Xiaofei a sidelong glance.
There! This knot was untied.
Gao Xiaofei smiled knowingly, went up to hug his beloved, and prepared to kiss her.

"Get lost! Aren't you worried that Ping An took Jiaozi and won't leave, and wants to do something?" Fei Keqing asked.
"With that brat Ping An, when he's being mischievous, I usually hide my brain. The more ideas I have, the more I get hurt." Gao Xiaofei said, "Don't worry, there's a team behind us, just waiting for Ping An to lure the snake out of its hole!"
"Look at your ambition! Then hurry up and guard it!" Fei Keqing said, "The case is important, don't mess things up!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going. Let me kiss you! I miss you so much!" Gao Xiaofei said shamelessly.
"Why didn't I see this shamelessness of yours a few days ago? You cowered at the critical moment!" Fei Keqing grumbled non-stop, but her small face unconsciously moved forward.
"Hehe!" Seeing this, Gao Xiaofei pouted his lips and was about to nudge her.
"Godfather, Godmother, come down quickly, we found--" At this moment, Su Tang suddenly burst into the RV and saw Gao Xiaofei pouting his disgusting face.
"Found what?" Fei Keqing's eyes moved quickly, she grabbed Su Tang and carefully wiped the raindrops from her face.
"No, nothing, you continue!" Su Tang looked at Gao Xiaofei, stuck out her tongue, and got out of the car.
It turned out that after Ping An walked around in the rain, he found a discarded parallel bar. Three or four meters in front of the parallel bar, there was a parking space. Between the parallel bar and the parking space, there was an artificial fire pit.

"Hei Dou, drive the RV here, with the head facing east, then extend the awning on the roof, and then cover the awning and the parallel bar with the canvas at the back of the car. Tsk, what an ideal campsite, it has space, and it's sheltered from the rain! Set up two tents, and you can put a table for fruit plates, and on the lake side, put some chairs, haha!" Ping An directed under an umbrella in the rain.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Ping An's ideal campsite was finally ready.
The awning of the RV, plus an extended section of rainproof canvas, formed a space about 5 meters long and 3.5 meters wide between the RV and the parallel bar. Two double tents were placed close together, against the parallel bar at the back, and facing the RV in the front. Between the tents and the RV, Hei Dou had set up a fire pit with a small pot of gasoline, which was burning fiercely. Because there was no dry firewood due to the rain, Ping An shamelessly bought more than ten catties of charcoal at a high price from some RV campers who were about to leave. Later, the administrator, who couldn't stand it, moved it into a small room next to the management post and pointed to the wall-high pile of wood, saying that as long as the price was fair, he could have as much as he wanted...
It looked like a campsite. Ping An, who had been blown and rained on all morning, sneezed, put on a tattered piece of clothing, and sat by the fire pit to warm himself.
"Brother Ping An, the RV and the campsite are connected to the water faucet, and the power cord has been pulled over. Water and electricity are sufficient, feel free to use them. Do you want to take a shower first?" Hei Dou was soaking wet, but obviously not as dejected as Ping An.
"Then I'll take a shower!" Ping An shivered and said, "Take out the food, and let's start cooking. Who was it, Fei Keqing, you lead Su Tang and Jiaozi to prepare the food, don't make it too complicated, just five or six dishes will do!"
"Get lost! You can't even have a bowl of hot soup, and you still want five or six dishes? Dream on!" Fei Keqing was also shivering with cold and was patiently packing the food.
While the adults were busy with the camping, Su Tang and Jiaozi, wearing raincoats, played happily.
"Su Tang, do you know, I'm so happy today!" Jiaozi said sincerely.
"Alright, there's something even happier. Let's go see what my godmother is preparing to cook!" Su Tang also said with a smile.

At half past twelve noon, a large pot of hot soup was finally ready. Although it was made with dried noodles, looking at the golden braised pork and beef balls in the pot, everyone's appetite was instantly whetted. Ping An brought out the beer that had been soaked in the rain for half the day. It didn't need to be chilled. One sip, and all the pores in his body opened up. Then he quickly slurped a few mouthfuls of the soup and noodles, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the awning, and felt an indescribable joy all over his body.
The hot soup rice on this side of the bridge was naturally enjoyable, but the people squatting on the other side of the bridge, such as Captain Cheng Jian, looked at the cooking smoke on the other side of the bridge through binoculars, then looked at the braised beef instant noodles in his hand, and ate them helplessly.
"Who made the noodles! Can you use some hot water!"
"Hey, you, where's the mosquito repellent you brought? Give me some, I'm being bitten to death by mosquitoes!"
In a small van, Cheng Jian's wails could be heard.
Some say that the fun of camping lies in becoming one with nature. Rain is naturally part of nature, so after eating his fill of hot soup, Ping An, amidst everyone's anger, righteously went into the tent to sleep, saying that he wanted to comprehend the true meaning of nature and life with the sound of rain.
No one paid attention to Ping An.
Before eating, everyone was too hungry to seriously think about why they came camping in the rain. After eating, some people began to miss their comfortable beds at home, such as Su Tang. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie on the bed, eat snacks, and watch American dramas in the rain here than to wander around in the wind?
"A few days ago, I participated in an event, and the sponsor gave me ten accommodation vouchers for a hot spring hotel, which includes food, accommodation, and hot spring baths. There are also movies to watch at night." Fei Keqing said to Su Tang and Jiaozi after cleaning up the cooking utensils, "Since we're out to relax, where is not playing? Jiaozi, what do you think?"
"Auntie, I just need to get some fresh air, I can go anywhere!" Jiaozi replied obediently.

The tent suddenly fell silent.
"Oh no, my godfather is going to explode and beat up my master!" Su Tang, who was eavesdropping, slapped her head and said to Fei Keqing behind her.
"......" Fei Keqing leaned out to look into the tent, half-believing, half-doubting.
"Hoo!" Two snores came from the tent one after another.
"Gao Xiaofei! You fell asleep too?"
From the tent, Fei Keqing's hysterical voice was heard.
Liu Tianji is the chief meteorologist at the Hechuan Meteorological Station and a bosom friend of Ping An. However, his professional skills are not to be underestimated. Take Hushan, for example. Because the mountain and the lake form a unique microclimate, the rain is not heavy or light, it just keeps raining.
At the foot of Hushan, Fei Keqing and others were worried, while by the lake, a bearded man leaning on crutches and wearing a blue raincoat sighed with worry.
"How can I fly! Damn Ping An, you really know how to find a place! This kind of rain is the most corrosive to the engine. If I fly over and can't come back, it will be a waste of effort?" The bearded man raised his head, letting the cold rain fall on his face, and suddenly felt annoyed - "If my legs weren't broken, why would I have to resort to such a method?"
The blue figure did not stay long. At least, in the binoculars of Hei Dou, who was on guard duty, the blue figure flashed by. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it made him feel a little uneasy.

"Captain Cheng, there's a person in a blue raincoat in your ten o'clock direction. Please send nearby brothers to check it out." Hei Dou did not report to Ping An, but directly reported to Cheng Jian on the shore through the walkie-talkie.
"Received!" Cheng Jian, holding the walkie-talkie in his left hand, replied to Hei Dou, then raised his mobile phone in his right hand and said, "Hei Dou seems to have some situation. I'll go and see for myself. Old Liu, let's leave it at that for now. We'll notify each other if anything comes up!"
Fengdian Community, heavy rain pouring down.
Liu Kedu, wearing a raincoat, put away his phone and yelled at the young police officers holding rain tarps next to him, "Hold it higher, the glass shards will be collected soon, everyone work hard!"
"Boom!" A flash of lightning struck from the sky, and a clap of thunder suddenly exploded.
"Crack!" A porcelain bowl suddenly fell to the ground.
Shui Gang, who was washing dishes, was stunned when the bowl slipped from his hand. He quickly squatted down to pick up the fragments, but accidentally cut his left finger with a fragment, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.
"Dad, are you okay!" Shui Gang's son ran into the kitchen, looking at his father worriedly.
"It's okay! Dad accidentally dropped a bowl!" Shui Gang patted his son's head and turned to open the window.
A gust of rain, mixed with the smell of earth, rushed in through the window.

Shui Gang looked at the large patch of dark clouds in the sky and sighed softly.
"Dad, when will the rain stop? I still want to play yesterday's game with you?" Shui Gang's son looked at his father innocently.
"No, some games can only be played once! Dad will take you to play other games next time!" Shui Gang said, "This is a little secret between us father and son, and no one can tell it!"
"Okay!" Shui Gang's son nodded obediently.
Ping An slept until six o'clock in the afternoon.
He straightened his numb left arm, waved it vigorously, opened his eyes, yawned comfortably, and slowly sat up.
The rain outside the tent was getting heavier, and the mist in the air mixed with the unique smell of the lake spread around the campsite.
"Achoo!" Ping An sneezed, and then he finally woke up.
He crawled out of the tent, glanced at Gao Xiaofei, who was playing pitiful in the corner, then smiled at Fei Keqing, who had fire in her eyes, picked up the enamel mug by the fire pit, and took a big sip of water.
"What are we having for dinner later? Pan-fried lamb chops! I'll do it myself, I brought a big piece of lamb chop!" Ping An said to everyone flatteringly, patting his stomach.

"I'll ask you one last time! Are you going back or not?" Fei Keqing said, hands on her hips, staring fiercely at Ping An.
"Master, I really didn't expect it to rain so much, why don't we go back?" Su Tang said pitifully, shivering at the side.
"Just stay for one night, okay?" Ping An said helplessly.
"If you want to stay, you stay. Have Hei Dou send us back!" Fei Keqing said domineeringly.
"Alright, alright, come here, I'll tell you!" Ping An beckoned Fei Keqing over, signaling her to go into the tent with him.
"What do you want to do?" Gao Xiaofei was unhappy when he saw this. He was taking his wife into the tent in front of him?
"Get lost! I have important business!" Ping An roared angrily.
Fei Keqing hesitated for a moment, then followed Ping An into the tent.
"Alright, I know you have a purpose, you want to solve the case! But I don't understand, why do you have to drag me here when I have nothing to do with the entire case?" Fei Keqing asked.
"Later, you arrange for the two girls to take a bath, and then scrub their backs for them. I want you to help me see if Jiaozi has any birthmarks, scars, or other unusual marks on her body," Ping An whispered to Fei Keqing, "You say, can I do this kind of thing myself?"

"Then you don't have to come here either!" Fei Keqing said with disgust, turning her head aside, "Listen to me and go to the hot springs, isn't it the same thing?"
"Do you still remember the news about UFOs our newspaper received three months ago?" Ping An said mysteriously, "That photo taken by the photography enthusiast unintentionally showed a UFO!"
"I remember, wasn't it proven to be a drone at the time - oh! It's a drone!" Fei Keqing said in surprise, "You mean, the filming location is not here?"
Ping An smiled, took out his phone, and clicked on a photo.
In the photo, a huge aircraft was circling among several giant wind turbines. And these giant wind turbines were exactly located on Hushan.
