These few simple tombs like dirt bags are probably the graves of the ancestors of the branch of Zhang Ziqiang's family, most of them do not even have a tombstone, except for Zhang Mugen, but the tombstone is also quite rough, the surface of the tablet is painted with black lacquer, engraved with red characters, but it is crooked, and it feels very disorderly.

The surrounding artemisia grass seems to have just been cleaned up, and what particularly surprised Li Tianzhen was that there were three small bowls of blue and white on the brick platform in front of the stele, although the tribute contained in it was gone, but the half bowl of millet in the middle was still inserted with three pillars of incense burned to the roots.

Could it be that the Liang family and daughter had just been here? But how could they not have heard the villagers mention it?

Li Tianchou picked up the incense stick and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, slightly drunk, with a pungent smoke, it seemed that it had just been extinguished not long ago.

How could the Liang family bring their daughter to worship her husband and not enter the village? Recalling that no one in the village had any prejudices or complaints against Zhang Ziqiang's family just now, it was logically unreasonable.

Or other relatives and friends came to worship, but who could it be? Unfortunately, he was a step too late, and he didn't see the real person, Li Tianchou was not too anxious, he thought about it, went down the mountain and out of the village, and went straight to the road leading to the county seat.

Honggu County is not small, with a population of nearly 100,000, and it is a needle in a haystack to visit Liang's mother and daughter, but now that household registration management is networked, if you can have friends from the public security to help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and save a lot of trouble.

Li Tianchou immediately thought of Liu Qiang and Xiao Yadong, these two old people have not been in touch for a long time, I don't know what the situation is recently? In the past few years, he has experienced too much and changed too quickly, but he really neglected this.

When it comes to the end, I can only give it a try with a cheeky skin. After weighing it repeatedly, Liu Qiang's background is too complicated, and he has dealings with Wu Fang and Xu Wen, so there is no reason to ask him to help check other people's household registrations, I am afraid that it will arouse the sensitivity of the other party.

There was only Lao Xiao, Li Tianchou dialed Xiao Yadong's old number with his memory, but he didn't expect it to be connected soon.

Xiao Yadong on the other end of the microphone was very surprised, but his mood was not high, he seemed to be very tired, and his tone was also flat for the old man who had not been in touch for a long time, so the two did not have much chat.

After listening to what Li Tianchou said, Xiao Yadong did not shirk, "I have a comrade-in-arms in the Jinxi Provincial Hall, I will send you his contact information, you can find him yourself, after all, it is too far away, and this kind of thing has to be played on the sidelines, so you can only try your luck." ”

After thanking him, Li Tianchou hung up the phone, always feeling that Lao Xiao was weird, not only seemed to be in a bad mood, but also seemed to have some prejudices against him, an old man, who couldn't express it, but he could feel it.

After a while, Xiao Yadong sent the contact information of his comrades-in-arms, and Li Tianchou dialed it without thinking about it, the other party was very polite and willing to help, thinking that Lao Xiao had already said hello.

So there was another text message on Li Tianchou's mobile phone, but it was the contact information of a police officer surnamed He who was in charge of household registration in the Honggu County Public Security Bureau.

After Li Tianchou made a phone call, he took off his robe, restored his layman dress, and took a small public bus to the county public security bureau.

Officer He's work efficiency is very high, Li Tianchou sat in the reception room for a while, and then he came in with a piece of paper, which was just printed out of all the county's information statistics called Zhang Zicui, which could only be seen, not taken away.

The information is very simple, only three columns of name, gender and age, as for the photo, address, contact number and other key things are not available. Li Tianchou also understands that it is not easy for the other party to do this step, but it actually helps a lot.

There are not many people named Zhang Zicui in the county, and there are only 5 people in the county, and 3 of them are not in line with the age group and are excluded first.

The remaining two, one at 37 and the other at 43, are all possible.

"Can you tell me the contact information of these two people?" Li Tianchou could only try, but the other party shook his head in embarrassment.

"Or your home address?" the other man still shook his head.

"Otherwise, show me their photos, don't take pictures, don't make copies, just take a look, that's okay, right?"

"Wait a minute. Officer He thought about it and finally gave in.

The two women in the black-and-white photo did not have the same face mold as Zhang Ziqiang, and they could not match the similarity, which made Li Tianchou a little disappointed, and left the county public security bureau after thanking the police officer surnamed He.

The photos of the two women had already been printed in Li Tianchou's mind, but walking around the streets was still not much better than looking for a needle in a haystack, so after only staying for two days, Li Tianchou decided not to waste any more time, and planned to try his luck in the unit where Zhang Ziqiang was before his death.

But halfway through, Li Tianchou suddenly received a phone call, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat without saying a word, the other party was actually an instructor, and he opened his mouth without any nonsense and asked, "How long have you not been in contact with home?"

"I only called last week. Li Tianchou was inexplicable, and at first he complained a little about the instructor, "You haven't shown up for two years, thinking you forgot me." ”

"No more nonsense. The instructor was not calm, "Have you ever received a call from any stranger recently?"

"What's wrong?" Li Tianchou immediately realized that it was not good.

"Your family has been missing for four days, I just got the news. ”

"What?!" Li Tianchou's head was stunned, he knew that his home in PL County looked ordinary, but it was actually under local attention and strict protection. The family members disappeared, and they didn't know about it, but they got the news from the instructor first, which is not a joke.

"Don't worry, maybe it's a little misunderstanding. The instructor on the other end of the microphone first stabilized his emotions, "Our people are already secretly investigating, all you have to do is keep trying to contact them." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Li Tianchou yelled.

"That's right, don't get excited, listen to me in detail. The instructor sighed, this guy has cultivated the Tao, and he still has such a big temper? But it's no wonder that people are normal.

The day before yesterday, the comrades of the cultural center reported to the police station that Li Tianchou's father had not come to work for two days, did not ask for leave in advance, and did not say hello.

As soon as the people at the police station heard about Li Xuewen's family, they naturally attached great importance to it, and immediately sent people to the scene, and found that the door of Li Tianchou's parents' house was locked, and they suspected that they had gone to relatives, so they went to Li Tianchou's sister's house again, but the door was also locked, and a note was posted on the door, which seemed to be left for his mother, saying that he was taking the child to the hospital.

So he rushed to the county hospital again, but after investigation, it was found that Li Tianchou's sister and brother-in-law had never been to the hospital.

The people at the police station realized that something was wrong, so on the one hand, they secretly launched a search and secret investigation, and on the other hand, they notified the local national security through the channels of the county bureau.

As a result, after a whole day, there were no clues, and Li Tianchou's family seemed to disappear out of thin air. When the local national security reported the news to the instructor, another whole day passed.

With the consent of the instructor, the local police opened the door of Li Tianchou's parents' house, the yard was cleaned up in an orderly manner, and the room was also clean and tidy, as if it had been deliberately cleaned, spotless, but there were no valuable clues, and he realized that he couldn't wait any longer, so the instructor called Li Tianchou.

I don't know when I hung up the instructor's phone, Li Tianchou's mind was in a mess, he needed to find a place to be quiet immediately, and then go home, he could not believe what the instructor said, but he had to admit the reality.

This old thing, so unlucky, either don't get in touch, and as soon as you get in touch, something will go wrong. Li Tianchou complained and cursed while forcibly cooling the blood that was already boiling around him.

Because once he goes crazy, it is very difficult for him to control himself. Li Tianchou has never forgotten the uncontrollable impulse of destruction during his trip to southern Yunnan several times, and although he has been cultivating his life for two years and has realized some mysterious things, it does not mean that the demonic nature hidden in his heart has been eradicated.

The next evening, Li Tianchou returned home, looking at the relocked door of the house, his mood had calmed down a lot, since the incident had happened, there was no point in being anxious.

Thinking about it, it is impossible for his father's character not to go to work for no reason, and that is his favorite job, and the little sister's family has not been to the hospital has also been investigated, although the authenticity of the note cannot be determined, but the whole family disappeared at the same time, and the possibility of kidnapping is very great, but who has such a pen can do it so seamlessly?

Since it is a kidnapping, the other party must have something to ask for, so now no news does not mean the worst outcome, so on the way he has called his father several times, and his sister, although they are all unreachable, but release his contact information, I believe that the other party can easily identify.

It is very intriguing that after the strange other party carried out the kidnapping, there was no movement for four days, no matter what the purpose, the perpetrator would generally contact the victim's relatives through various hidden channels after confirming his safety, declaring his purpose, whether it was seeking money or hatred, but this time it was very abnormal.

It is very likely that the other party is not sure if they are safe or not, so they can only wait. But another situation makes Li Tianchou particularly worried, that is, long-distance transfer, such a large family, not only to guard against people's eyes, but also not to take public transportation, is naturally time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Entering the courtyard, the home furnishings are the same, and neat and unusual, as the instructor said on the phone, there is no trace of panic and hurry. After Li Tianchou carefully inspected all the rooms, he just sat down in the courtyard when he noticed that there were people outside.

There were as many as five or six people, both men and women. Although the distance is still far away, they are all vigorous, and they have some skills to practice their families, and they should go straight to the small courtyard to find the sound.

After a while, the person who came stopped outside the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, acting steadily, politely and fairly, Li Tianchou judged that it was a peer, and the instructor should not be able to sit still at this time, so he opened the door to greet him.

There were a total of five people outside the door, except for a woman, the other four were all strong guys, Shen Yingjie! Li Tianchou was taken aback, the instructor was confused, why did the 'rangers' be transferred?
