Chapter 477 A Shortcut

The specific location of Juyou’s chess and card room is Shop No. 32 in front of the North Jiayuan Community.

Beifang Jiayuan Community is a renovated community that was built only three years ago.

In the car, Wu Zhiguo was introducing the situation of this community: "Team Chen, this Northern Jiayuan Community was originally the factory area of ​​the Northern Food Factory."

"Due to operational problems, it closed down a few years ago. We couldn't pay for the resettlement of more than 5,000 laid-off workers, so we sold the factory and built a building."

Chen Yan has heard of this.

It was about ten years ago, and Chen Yan seemed to be still in junior high school at that time.

Things were a big deal back then. The factory's collapse was not just a business issue, but many people were also arrested.

Because when the factory went bankrupt and liquidated, a lot of machinery and equipment were sold off at low prices.

Many workers have a difficult life because they cannot receive layoff subsidies.

If you can't survive, you will naturally make trouble.

It took several years to finally solve the problem, and then the Northern Garden was born.

After the community was built, there were many housing discounts for laid-off workers, which was considered relatively conscientious.

There is only one gate at the main entrance of Beifang Jiayuan. About a hundred meters to the left of the gate is Shop No. 32 Juyou Chess and Card Room.

There are three parking spaces at the entrance of the chess and card room, facing the gate: "Guo Kai, Zhou Tao and Zhang Baoquan's cars were parked in these three parking spaces early yesterday morning."

Wu Zhiguo said, pointing to the three parking spaces and introducing them respectively.

"Where's Ma Xiaoning's car?"

Wu Zhiguo pointed to a parking space in the distance: "Over there, Ma Xiaoning's car was parked in parking space No. 25, not parked with the three of them's cars."

Parking space No. 25 is about 40 meters away from here, in front of shop No. 29.

There is no video in the parking lot, but there is a payment parking system, and Wu Zhiguo has sent someone to retrieve the payment records at that time.

"Any car driven by people who play cards at Juyou Card Room can park for free in the parking lot."

"When you go out, you don't have to pay with the free parking card issued by the chess and card room."

"None of the four of them paid the toll in their car yesterday morning, but they still took photos when they drove out of the toll booth."

"The first one to leave was Ma Xiaoning's car, then Guo Kai, Zhou Tao, and finally Zhang Baoquan."

Chen Yan looked at the order in which the four cars parked. The order in which the cars came out was actually the order in which they were far from the exit.

Ma Xiaoning's car was not parked with them and was closest to the exit, so his car was the first to drive out of the parking lot.

Then turn right, take the path next to the community, and enter National Highway 212.

The other three people's cars turned left and entered Intersection 98 to enter the Ring Road.

"Let's follow Zhang Baoquan's driving path first."

"yes!"

The car starts from the parking lot and passes through the parking lot exit.

There are no toll collectors at the exit of the parking lot, and the lifting lever is also automatically controlled.

Either swipe your card or scan the QR code.

A few minutes after Chen Yan and his friends drove in, it was still within the free time, so there was no need to swipe a card or scan a QR code to pay, and the railings were automatically raised.

There weren't many cars on the road, so the driver turned left.

After passing seven traffic lights, we arrived at intersection 98.

Following the fork in the road, the car drove directly onto the ring road.

Chen Yan was observing the situation around the road, and Wu Zhiguo was recording the time.

"Team Chen, 15 minutes and 20 seconds."

This is a normal driving speed. When driving from the parking space at the entrance of Juyou Chess and Card Room to Intersection 98, the time it takes to pass the speed camera is a little over 15 minutes.

Because the traffic lights flashed alternately along the way, the time it took for Zhang Baoquan's car to drive from the Juyou Chess and Card Room to the Ring Road should be about the same.

The flash of the speed camera ended and Wu Zhiguo counted the time again.

The Ring Road has just been built, the traffic volume is relatively small, and the road conditions are very good, so after entering the highway, the driver drove at the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour.

In less than a minute, I saw the T-junction where Zhang Baoquan's accident occurred from a distance.

Chen Yan noticed that there were continuous sharp turn warning signs on the roadside, as well as warning signs for T-junctions.

The driver began to slow down naturally without applying the brakes. Near the T-intersection, the speed dropped to 60 kilometers per hour.

The vehicle turns right and continues onto the Ring Road.

An hour later, Chen Yan and others returned to the parking lot in front of the Juyou chess and card room.

"How's the timing going?"

Wu Zhiguo shook his head: "There is no problem. The time we drove from speed camera No. 98 to speed camera No. 99 is exactly half a minute different from the time Guo Kai and Zhou Tao drove."

half a minute...

That said, these two people can be sure that there is no problem.

"Come on, let's walk Ma Xiaoning's way home."

We still start from the parking lot, but this time we turn right after exiting the exit, then turn right again after 300 meters, and drive onto the cement road on the side of Beifang Jiayuan Community.

Chen Yan, Wu Zhiguo and the driver have never walked this road.

Moreover, the road conditions were average, with many potholes and potholes, and the vehicle speed was not very fast, probably only 60 kilometers per hour.

Wu Zhiguo is still counting the time.

The surrounding scenery changed. After leaving the community, we soon entered an asphalt road.

"Team Chen, we're here."

arrive?

"You said this is National Highway 212?"

The driver nodded: "I have walked this National Highway 212 many times, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Chen Yan was slightly startled, how long has it been?

"Team Wu, how long have we been gone just now?"

Wu Zhiguo also didn't expect that the shortcut Ma Xiaoning mentioned would be so fast.

He quickly paused the timer on his phone: "Team Chen...three minutes."

three minutes!

Chen Yan was suddenly stunned.

This time...

"How long did it take us to drive from the parking lot exit to entrance 98?"

"15 minutes and 20 seconds!"

"Quick, the driver is driving now, along National Highway 212 toward the ring road section!"

The driver didn't hesitate. After coming out of the cement road, he turned left directly and headed for the T-intersection connecting Ring Road and National Highway 212.

Wu Zhiguo obviously guessed something, and the timer started counting on his phone again.

Although the road condition of National Highway 212 is not as good as the ring road, the road condition is not checked.

The speed limit is 80 kilometers per hour, and the vehicle travels very steadily.

The poplars on both sides of the road were retreating rapidly, and Chen Yan and others had already seen the intersection in the distance.

Creak!

The sound of tires grinding against the ground was heard, and the vehicle stopped in front of the intersection where the accident occurred.

"How much time?"

"9 minutes!"

Wu Zhiguo handed the phone to Chen Yan. The time on it showed 9 minutes and 08 seconds.

9 minutes and 08 seconds!

Including the 3 minutes just walking on the broken concrete road, the total is 12 minutes and 8 seconds.

It takes 15 minutes to turn left from the parking lot and enter the ring road through intersection 98.

However, it only took 12 minutes and 8 seconds to take a shortcut from the bad road next to Beifang Jiayuan Community and then take National Highway 212 to reach the T-intersection where the accident occurred!

What does this mean?

This shows that if Ma Xiaoning turned left from the cement road onto National Highway 211, he could have intercepted Zhang Baoquan's vehicle before it reached the T-intersection.

Moreover, it can avoid taking pictures of test camera No. 98!

"Map, open the map on your phone!"

Wu Zhiguo opened the map on his mobile phone and found these two paths without Chen Yan's instructions.

"The distance is actually... about the same."

"However, if you turn left from the parking lot and take entrance 98, you will encounter seven traffic lights, so it will take a long time."

"But if you take a bad cement road and there are no traffic lights, the driving time will be greatly shortened!"

What's more, Ma Xiaoning was the first among the four to leave the parking lot.
