"But, I want to save Manzhen, can you save Manzhen alone, can you guarantee her safety, can you catch the criminal?"

“......”

Lin Yuqiong's words silenced Chen Le.

Because if a person can drag a big man of more than 200 pounds like flying, running like a water ghost, and running into the water in the blink of an eye, then if the other party does not bear weight, its running speed is very amazing.

No matter how confident Chen Le is, he doesn't think he can stop such a person.

The opponent's strength and speed are likely to be above their own, and even, it should be at the monster level.

Ordinary people carry a 200-pound person, and it is estimated that it is difficult to walk, what kind of monster is this.

In the battle, Chen Le is not sure of victory.

If the other party escaped, Chen Le would not be able to stop him.

This made him a little distressed.

Anything that happens to the end is actually a decisive victory by force.

Thinking is only the road to victory, and force is the only means to make you victorious.

Lin Yuqiong suggested, "We can go to Brother Ding and ask him to bring more people with us, after all, if there are many missing people there who are arrested, they will definitely need to be moved." ”

Lin Yuqiong is still fantasizing about the situation where everyone is alive.

Chen Le is not so optimistic, he doesn't think that those who have been missing for more than 3 months will still be alive, I am afraid that this will not only take care of his body, but also take care of his broken spirit.

However, there is a real possibility that there are people who are still alive over there.

Considering that the other party could be invincible by casually grabbing a hostage, Chen Le still felt that he should call more people for help.

Then the two went to find Ding Li.

Ding Li actually didn't believe that Chen Le could find someone.

After all, no matter how Chen Le looks at it, he is just an ordinary college student, and he can't see anything special, what the police can't do, can he do?

But under Lin Yuqiong's repeated persuasion, he was willing to believe Lin Yuqiong.

Or promised to help.

"I'm afraid I have to call thirty or forty people up the mountain, I don't have the authority to transfer so many people, I have to have my father speak. ”

After all, Ding Li has not succeeded the village head.

Then the three of them went to Ding Li's house together to find Ding Weitian.

Compared with other families, Ding Weitian's village chief's house is obviously much more luxurious, and it is a large house like a courtyard.

And the door is guarded 24 hours a day, ensuring that there will be absolutely no accidents in this house.

The interior of the house is also relatively luxurious.

It seems that the villagers are not poor, and it has nothing to do with him, the village chief, at least the village chief is not poor.

Ding Weitian sat on a chair in the main hall, frowning, and staring at Chen Ledao with a serious face, "Do you think that I will take dozens of people up the mountain to search the mountain because of a few words from you, a foreigner?"

Ding Feng also glared at Chen Le with some unhappiness, "This is our village's business, and I don't have to worry about you outsiders to interfere." ”

Lin Yuqiong explained in a whisper in Chen Le's ear, "Ding Feng is the adopted son of the village chief. ”

Ding Feng looks like he is in his 30s, he is a relatively shrewd person, his body is not as burly as Ding Li, but he is also quite powerful, compared to Ding Li's dark skin, he is much fairer.

Because he usually follows Ding Weitian to do some clerical work, manage the village's accounts, population, finances and other things, but rarely experience wind and rain.

Ding Li is engaged in some practical duties, such as taking care of the master and leading the whole village to farm.

Ding Feng said righteously, "Do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to lead so many people up the mountain, and how many resources are wasted, not only delaying everyone's original work, but also causing accidents and causing a lot of losses. ”

Ding Feng's words basically represent Ding Weitian's words, he has been with Ding Weitian for so long, so he naturally knows Ding Weitian's thoughts very well.

Chen Le said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I am eighty percent sure that the other party should be hiding in this mountain, if you go over, you will have a chance to find the missing person, but if you don't go over, there will be no chance at all." ”

Ding Feng said-for-tat, "Someone disappeared because we angered the river god, he sent a water ghost to take people away, this is a punishment for us, as long as we pray for blessings and sacrifice to the river god, he will naturally not bring disaster to our village again." ”

Someone next to him echoed, "That's right, if it's not the river god, how can someone die so old in more than ten days, it must have been caught by the river god." ”

"There are so many people who suddenly disappeared without a sound at all, how could a person do such a thing. ”

Chen Le hated discussing scientific reasoning with these superstitious villagers.

But he had to say it again.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the living room of the village chief's house.

Chen Le looked around and said, "I don't know if anyone in your family is missing, whether it was captured by the river god or not, don't you want to look for it, what if you find it?"

Someone immediately retorted, "Do you think we haven't looked for it, we have searched everywhere around the village, but we haven't, and we know that it is the river god who is angry with us." ”

Chen Le had a feeling that these people were stupid.

Fortunately, Ding Li still helped him say, "I think it's okay to listen to Chen Le's thoughts first and then make a decision." ”

Maybe it's because Ding Li is very popular, and what he says will be listened to.

This made Ding Feng look at him a little angrily, and wanted to say something, but after looking at Ding Weitian, he immediately stopped talking again.

Chen Le walked quickly to Ding Weitian's side, took out the map, and expressed it.

"Let's assume that it's not the river god, but someone who committed the crime, then first of all, the other party has been committing crimes against our village, and he must be staying near our village. ”

Chen Le circled a big circle with Shiye Village.

And then you find out no, most of all the disappearances have disappeared without a trace, and no one has found out how she disappeared, and no one has found their bodies.

Immediately someone said, "It's the river god!"

Chen Le didn't care about him, and continued, "But there is one exception, that night, the night patrol found that a strong man was dragged away by the water ghost, and only this time he was discovered. ”

"And, more than ten days later, we found out that he was here. ”

Chen Le first marked a circle in the northwest corner of the village to indicate the place where people were dragged away, and then marked a circle in the northeast corner to indicate that this is the place where people found it.

In other words, only this case is a special case, the other cases are rational crimes, the other party did not leave any clues, and quietly took people away, only this time it is an impulsive crime, not only was the crime seen by people, but also let everyone find the body. ”

"Rational crimes, because of the strict planning, need more clues to crack the process, but impulsive crimes, there will be a lot of things exposed, such as his hiding place, and this is the only time he makes people make a noise for others to discover. ”

Someone immediately retorted, "Whether it was in the vicinity where it was dragged away, or in the vicinity where the body was found, we searched for it, and there was no one at all, let alone anything else." ”

Chen Le explained, "My guess is that because it was an impulsive crime, he dragged a person, and he didn't think of a perfect hiding place, but directly planned to drag it home. ”

Chen Le marked a slash arrow on the map.

Then the arrow was extended indefinitely, from the northwest to the edge of the map to the north.

Then he pointed to the place where the body was found.

"When you impulsively drag back a missing person and kill someone, what do you do, in order to hide people's eyes, you must throw him away, but the left side of the house has been found, and there are still people guarding it, so naturally you can only lose the right side of the house, and throw it away from the nest. ”

"You can see that only the north side of the village, which is right north of the center where the body was dragged away and where the body was found, is just right here, all to cover people's eyes and ears so that everyone can find the vicinity of the body and not find his nest. ”

It is equivalent to dragging the corpse from the bottom left and throwing it to the lower right, which is convenient for throwing the corpse and will not be found to be hidden.

"Moreover, there is a natural advantage here, which is that due north, like your village, is located at the junction, and whether you look for the police in the east or the police in the west, they will not go to the north of the junction line to avoid crossing the line and causing disputes in their duties, so two groups of police officers came to the same case. ”

"The other party is very familiar with the people in the village, it is easy to arrest people, and naturally he is also familiar with the geographical location of the village, and knows that there will be no police looking for him here, and I believe that you have never looked for this place. ”

Chen Le was in the direction of due north, marked with a big red circle.

Ding Weitian paused and said, "That place is a little far away from the village, we have looked around, but we really haven't found the place you marked." ”

Someone else said, "It's a wild area, there are wolves, there are bears, and the villagers won't go there." ”

"You see, you yourself said, the villagers here will not come, the road is far away, the police do not check this kind of junction, this is located on the thread of his corpse, and it is a good place to facilitate him to lose the corpse without attracting attention to this place, which is not exactly what the perpetrator wants. ”

“......”

Chen Le's words silenced everyone.

Because when I think about it, I feel that what he said makes sense.

It's an absolute no-go zone, no one will come and no one will find out.

But no one answered him.

Chen Le looked around and said, "If you have the intention of finding the villagers and your compatriots, you might as well go over and look for it, what if you find it?"

Ding Feng immediately said, "It sounds good, if you return in vain and delay the sacrifice, do you know how serious the consequences are? All this is your speculation, do you have any evidence?"

“......”

Of course, Chen Le has no evidence.

And then it fell into an endless loop.

Chen Le couldn't convince these villagers at all.

Speaking, in the first place, was not his forte.

Looking at the expressions of everyone around him who shook their heads, one by one hesitated, a little convinced, and not very convinced, Chen Le was a little speechless.

He could only sigh and say, "Forget it, I'll go by myself." ”

It was at this moment that someone spoke.

Lin Yuqiong walked up to Ding Weitian and said with a serious face, "Village Chief, as long as you promise to bring someone over to look for it, if you can't find it, it's just a waste of effort, I will agree to be the bride of the river god." ”

“......”

This sentence is more than Chen Le's thousand words.

Of course, the cost is also significant......
