"Bai Ling, book a ticket immediately, two, and find the fastest route. "www.biquge.info I said to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling comprehended, didn't say anything, quickly turned around and walked out.

I didn't let Lao Wang go with me, the reason he knew, Bai Ling booked the earliest flight, and we arrived at Jinan Yaoqiang Airport three hours later. Out of the airport, an off-road vehicle that Bai Ling had rented in advance had stopped in front of us. After getting in the car, Bai Ling drove first, and I sat in the passenger seat with my eyes closed. After all, there are still more than 500 kilometers to go to where we are going, and we need to drive alternately.

"Bai Ling, what have you found?" I asked softly with my eyes closed.

"I'm sorry, teacher, there are no too valuable clues, it's just..." Bai Ling paused for a moment and continued: "It's just that the attitude of the local county public security bureau towards this case is a little abnormal, and we will have an answer when I think of the place." ”

Bai Ling and I took turns driving for more than ten hours, and we didn't say much on the way. At eight o'clock in the morning, we came to the Yinzhai County Public Security Bureau, and when we got off the car, we first found Wu Hao, a member of the criminal police team who had been contacted before, Wu Hao warmly received us, and I proposed to go and see the two children who came back first.

Wu Hao took us to the reception room to meet Xiao Mao, Wu Hao said that because Li Bin was overly frightened, he was now in the county hospital. I immediately told Bai Ling to go to the hospital to see Li Bin, I looked at my watch and told Bai Ling that we would meet at the Public Security Bureau at eleven o'clock.

Another member of the criminal police took Bai Ling to the county hospital to visit Li Bin. I followed Wu Hao and met Xiao Mao.

It was a skinny child, white and clean, sitting on the sofa in the reception room with his head down. When he saw someone coming in, he looked up, and under the two heavy hairs were a pair of deep eyes, or a pair of eyes that should not be the appearance of such a young child.

Xiao Mao stood up, he observed me for a few seconds and asked, "You are the Gu teacher that Gu Xiaofei always mentioned, right?" ”

I nodded, walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder to sit down, and I sat next to him.

"I'm sorry!" Xiao Mao lowered his head and was silent for a moment before whispering.

"You don't have to be sorry, you did a good job, your calmness and judgment at least saved you and Li Bin, didn't you?"

Hearing me say this, Xiao Mao slowly lowered his head and recalled the memories he didn't want to remember

・・・・・・

Xiao Mao watched Zhigang rush out of the house with a flashlight and a knife, shouting Xiao Fei's name while looking around the courtyard. Xiao Mao hopes that if Zhigang can't find Xiao Fei in the courtyard, he will stop and return to the house. But he guessed wrong, because he didn't understand the friendship between Zhigang and Xiaofei, and after searching the courtyard to no avail, Zhigang ran out of the courtyard without thinking too much, and disappeared into the night with the occasional lightning in a blink of an eye.

Li Bin was really frightened, standing motionless at Na Muna, Xiao Mao gently pulled him, and motioned for the two to go back to the back room. After entering the house, Xiao Mao turned out all the tent lights and turned them on, he knew that the darkness would make people fearful.

The whole room lit up, and all they could do was wait, waiting for Zhigang to come back, waiting for Xiaofei to appear suddenly, waiting for the dawn to come.

Just when the four tent lights illuminated the room, Li Bin, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, suddenly shouted, his eyes were looking straight ahead, his mouth was wide open, and with that exclamation, Li Bin didn't make a scream, just gasped.

Xiao Mao followed Li Bin's gaze, there were three photo frames, and there were three black and white photos in them, which turned out to be three posthumous portraits.

Xiao Mao quickly got up and walked to the cabinet where the portrait was placed, quickly knocked down the portrait, and immediately returned to Li Bin's side, grabbed his hand, leaned to his face and said to him: "You go up and sleep for a while, wake up, it's just dawn." ”

Li Bin seemed to hear and agree with Xiao Mao's words, curled up on the kang, Xiao Mao took another piece of clothing and covered Li Bin's body, at this time Li Bin quickly covered his head with his clothes and never said a word again.

Xiao Mao sat on the edge of the kang with his hands and knees, he picked up his mobile phone, although the mobile phone signal was not strong, it should be able to call out, he dialed Xiao Fei's phone first・・・・・・

"Hello, the number you are calling is not in the service area..."

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Mao dialed Zhigang's phone again, and after a few prompts, Zhigang's voice came from the phone.

"Xiaomao, I haven't found Xiaofei yet, and he can't get through on the phone."

"I know Zhigang, I also hit, it's too unusual here, you come back quickly, I'll call the police now, tomorrow morning at dawn, we'll look for Xiaofei together."

"Okay, then I'll go back now, I think Li Bin is frightened, you take care of him."

After hanging up, Xiao Mao looked at the battery of the phone, there was not much left, and his intuition told him that he should call the police immediately.

Fortunately, they updated the map in their phones in advance, and Xiao Mao recalled the iconic places they passed by today, so that they could determine their approximate location now.

Xiao Mao made the third call, the police.

As soon as the police officer heard that it was a missing case, he immediately transferred the phone to the Yinzhai County Criminal Police Brigade, Xiao Mao concisely described what happened to them, when it was said that they entered a village where there was no one, the police officer on the other end of the phone suddenly answered, "You entered Baihu Village?" ”

The police officer immediately told Xiao Mao not to move, try not to hang up if the battery is sufficient, and even if the battery is not much, he must call every few minutes. They set off immediately.

Xiao Mao hung up the phone, still holding his knees with his hands, although he only looked at the three portraits a few times, he could never forget those looks, a look at this wrinkled old lady, a middle-aged man with thin cheekbones, and a fat little girl about twenty years old. They are supposed to be the owners of this house, and they are also three dead people at the same time.

The lightning at the outer gate had become less and less, the thunder had become less muffled, and a heavy rain had been waiting for a long time, and the night in the village was no longer quiet.

Zhigang still hasn't come back, Xiao Mao's heart has suddenly pinched, Xiao Fei's life and death are uncertain, if something happens to Zhigang...

The phone finally got through, but the last words that Zhigang said really shocked Xiao Mao, when Xiao Mao played this phone recording to me, I also unconsciously felt a chill, is this unbelievable thing really true?

According to the phone recording, what Zhigang experienced was probably as follows:

Zhigang rushed out of the courtyard, and outside the courtyard was a dirt road from east to west, where did he look for it? According to what he found later, he should have looked east, and the whole village was hollow, only the flashlight in Zhigang's hand and the lightning that caught him off guard. He knew that he couldn't search by house, so he could only shout Gu Xiaofei all the way, during which he also called Xiaofei, but the result was not in the service area. He felt even more uneasy.

Answering Xiao Mao's call, Zhigang knew that there was no way to find it, Xiao Mao was right, he should go back and wait until dawn, maybe Xiao Fei will come back when the sky is dawn, maybe everyone will find it when the police come.

The heavy rain fell, Zhigang hurriedly ran back to the yard where they were hiding and Xiao Fei was missing, and after running for a while, he found that he couldn't find the yard, normally Xiao Mao turned on the tent light in the house, and the house should be the only bright place in the village, and how could he not find such a straight street?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Zhigang had no choice but to pick up his phone and want to call Xiaomao, but the moment he picked up the phone, he saw a figure flashing in front of him, and it was a woman's figure.

Zhigang was so frightened that his hand shook and the flashlight fell to the ground, and the flashlight was aimed at the woman with long hair hanging down. Zhigang's legs were frightened, because the chance of seeing this "thing" in this case was too small. Zhigang mustered up the last bit of strength and turned around and ran, he didn't know how long he had been running, he didn't know where he was running, he was exhausted. He didn't want to run anymore, what had happened in the past few hours was completely beyond his comprehension, and he was ready to give up.

He saw an old tree beside him, and he unconsciously sneered, because this tree seemed to have been seen many times in the countless runs he had just made. He staggered to the tree and sat down, for at least it was shelter from the rain, and he listened to the sound of the wind and rain in his ears as if he was laughing wantonly, no! No, he seemed to be listening carefully, and in the sound of the wind and rain, it was really mixed with the voice of a woman sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

The phone vibrated sound...

"Xiaomao, I didn't find Gu Xiaofei, I shouldn't be able to go back, I worked hard, I tried my best to run back, but she stopped me, she didn't want me to escape, you listen・・・・・・"

No matter what Xiao Mao said on the other side of the phone, Zhigang couldn't hear it anymore, or didn't want to listen to it, he held the phone and let the last bit of power run out, and finally he pulled out the field knife that Xiao Fei gave him and held it tightly in his hand・・・・・・

The sky finally dawned, Li Bin was still curled up on the side of the kang with his head covered, Xiao Mao was still holding his knees, but he moved to the wall and leaned against it, holding the phone that had long been out of power in his hand.

Zhigang didn't come back, and Xiaofei didn't show up. It was still the darkest hour before dawn, but there was no rooster crowing in the usual village. The rain stopped, and only the sound of the rain on the eaves outside could be heard. At six o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mao finally heard the voice he had been looking forward to, the siren...

I sat with Xiao Mao in the reception room for a while, and the recording of that phone call always made me feel palpitations. I asked Xiao Mao to wait for me here, so I got up and went to his office with Wu Hao. Xiao Mao looked up at me at this time and said, "Can I sleep for a while?" ”

I smiled and nodded.

When I came to the criminal police office, Wu Hao already knew my identity, so he didn't hide it and conveyed the information he knew.

After receiving the alarm, the police immediately reported to Wang Jianguo, the captain of the Yinzhai County Criminal Police Team, and this middle-aged man in his forties knew that something was going to happen again after hearing the news. He quickly organized the police to go to Baihu Village immediately, and the heavy rain and the road conditions were not good, and the road for more than 100 miles was actually walked overnight, and it took more than 6 o'clock in the morning to arrive at Baihu Village. Captain Wang was just about to call the phone to report the crime, when he saw a thin figure walking over with a person.

got into the police car, and Li Bin was still piled up there. Xiao Mao told the Wang team about what they had encountered, and then handed his phone to the Wang team and told him that there was a recording in it. Team Wang frowned and listened to Xiao Mao's narration, this calmness that seemed to be the kind of eighteen or nineteen children should not have, made the police officer who had been a police officer for twenty years feel a little uneasy.

The next point is to find the two "missing" children. The police officers were divided into five groups to search the whole village, and he asked a police officer to take care of Xiao Mao and Li Bin, and he took Wu Hao to the courtyard that several people had strayed into, a courtyard that he never wanted to enter again in his life.

Captain Wang observed every detail, the heavy rain washed away the footprints in the yard before the rain, but this yard is an earthen courtyard, through the later technical analysis, the footprints in the yard before and after the heavy rain can still be distinguished, and now it seems that there are only footprints of Xiaomao and Li Bin going out in the courtyard.

Captain Wang and Wu Hao walked into the house. The house was full of messy supplies from a few children, and the others had barely changed from when he had been a few years earlier. It's just that the door of the room that was opened by Zhigang, Wang Team walked in and took a look, and when he saw the dead branches in the bottle on the broken cabinet, he thought for a moment. At this time, Captain Wang seemed to think of something, he immediately ordered Wu Hao to block the scene, he strode out of the courtyard, he looked to the west of the village, because he thought of someone.

A police officer ran over panting, "Team, the captain found a man on the east side of the village, who has ・・・・・・"
