Chapter 10: The Fate of Being Credulous

"Back then, I saw a post about our Chili tribe on the Internet." Wu Zhen stammered, "At first, I thought it was sent by a clansman, but halfway through it, I felt that it was only a little similar to the story I heard when I was a child. He later mentioned that he hoped to meet the Chili people one day and experience their unique culture in person. But we Chili people have gone through so many hardships, and the tribesmen have long been accustomed to a low-key life, and it is impossible for anyone to write such incendiary posts. So I told Abba, and Abba's face was wrong at the time, so I asked me to find out the poster by a reasonable means. I left a message in the post, and later contacted him privately, and found out that we were from the same school, so I wanted to meet to figure things out. I was so brave that I asked another brother from the Chili tribe in the university to go with me. ”

Li Jing observed his expression as he spoke: "Nothing should have happened when you first met, right?" ”

Wu Zhen's eyes showed a look of surprise: "There is really nothing else, just ask us if the Chili tribe has any special customs." ”

"If he made you suspicious the first time, you wouldn't agree to go to Zhuolu with him, would you?" Li Jing smiled.

Wu Zhen blushed after hearing this: "Indeed, I went back and told Abba about the meeting, and Abba and Abel even asked about many details, and they were always worried about this person." Later, Zhang Yuan, the person who posted the post, came to me and my brother a few times, but he didn't always tell us about the Chili tribe, and sometimes he chatted with us, so gradually we became acquainted. Abba and Uncle didn't like him very much, so we hung out with him to avoid the family. Later, I met a few of his friends, and we still keep in touch after graduating from school. His friend said that he liked the legend of the Chili tribe very much, and once wanted to see the tattoo on my body with his own eyes, saying that he had seen a similar pattern on another person, and he didn't know if it was from our Chili tribe. I thought it was really our people who didn't return, so I showed them the Elder Dragon Totem on my upper arm. They all looked happy after reading it, and told me that it was indeed exactly the same. I wanted to meet the man, but they told me that the man wasn't here, it was a person they saw in Zhuolu, and if they wanted to meet, they might have to go there. Because we knew the significance of Zhuolu to our Chili tribe, and the story of the legendary exiled tribesmen was really attractive to us who were still very young at that time, we went to Zhuolu with our family on our backs. In order not to arouse the suspicion of our families, we took separate buses to different cities, and then transferred buses from that city to Zhuolu. ”

"When you get there, you find out you've been scammed?" Team Xiao added.

Wu Zhenzhi paused: "I just arrived in Zhuolu and didn't notice anything wrong, until we saw that girl, we realized that it might be a trap." ”

"Why?" Li Jing asked him.

A look of chagrin appeared on Wuzhen's face: "Because of the position of the totem." Even if it is very similar, we never carve the totem on the ankle, but it is easy to be found on the ankle in the southwest place, so we will only tattoo it on the upper arm or shoulder. In this way, it will not be discovered by outsiders. Although no one will hurt the Chili tribe anymore, it has been preserved as a tradition. ”

"Then why don't you run away and call the police?" Team Xiao didn't understand, there were obviously two young men, but the two of them were led by the nose.

Wu Zhen was embarrassed: "There are a lot of them, we, we were very scared at the time, I really didn't know what to do, they snatched my mobile phone away, and all of them let us out of the yard, so we had no way to get in touch with the outside." ”

"And when did you go to the tombs?" Team Shaw asked him.

"We didn't go." Wu Zhen looked at the team's face and whispered.

"Didn't go?" The team raised an eyebrow.

"Really." Wu Zhen sat up straight, "They were afraid that we would escape, so they locked us in the house, asked us about the legendary things every day, and if they didn't say it, they would let the dog bite us." In fact, we don't know much about the legends of the Chili tribe, not to mention the place where they were able to tell them where they buried their evil swords. According to our legend, the evil sword has always been held by Chiyou himself, so it should be held in the holder's hand. They seemed very happy to hear us say this, so they left us in the warehouse in the yard and left on their own. Later, because the vicious dog had been barking in the yard, which made the rest of the village suspicious, they came to check on the situation, rescued us from the warehouse, and notified the police to let the family take us back. The police asked us why, but we were sure that we had encountered the kidnappers, and the police informed Abba, who took us back. It took three days for us to learn from the news that the day after we returned, there were tomb robbers who had entered the tomb and stolen something, and one of them had died in the tomb. At the time, I guessed that it might be them, but we really didn't want to cause any more trouble for ourselves, so we chose to hide this matter and continue to live as if nothing had happened. Until the other day, we saw a photo of the girl posted by the police on the Internet. We realized that nothing had passed. Abba will eventually track us down until the police, so we always have to pay attention to what is going on around us. I saw you and the girl following me that day. Wu Zhen looked at me and Li Jing, "I knew that I was going to come or I was coming." If I had listened to Abba's words back then, if I hadn't been in contact with them, and if I hadn't wanted to show off my lack of culture, maybe I would have come back in my heart for so many years. You know, before I say it, every night I feel guilty about my ancestors, because we, the idlers who sleep in the ground, are disturbed, what a sin. After speaking, Wu Zhen buried his face in the palm of his hand and rubbed it vigorously.

Li Jing nodded to Team Xiao and walked out first.

"Do you think he's telling the truth?" I asked Li Jing.

"yes." Li Jing gave me a perfunctory sentence, and said to the team that had just gone out, "Team Xiao, I hope you can arrest Qiuming in advance, if Wuzhen knows that we are investigating him from the Internet, then Qiuming should also be able to understand the current situation of the case." So in order to prevent Tyumen from escaping, I asked if I could keep an eye on it in advance. ”

Team Xiao thought about it for a moment and agreed to Li Jing's suggestion. When he went to deploy the mission, Li Jing gave me a phone number, and the address book showed Mr. Zhang. "Give him a call for me, and make sure he comes to the police station tonight, saying that he can help him solve the problem of the nightmare in advance, and make an appointment to meet in my office." After Li Jing finished instructing, I hid in the corner and talked to another person on the phone.

At first, Mr. Zhang was a little hesitant, but after hearing that he could solve the nightmare problem today, he happily promised that I would definitely arrive at Li Jing's office on time today.

"Did you get the job done?" Li Jing came over to me after the phone call and asked.

"Hmm. But why did you ask him out of your office? "I'm a little curious about Li Jing's next move.

"I made an appointment with a hypnotist to come with us today." Li Jing answered my question in a flat tone.

"You, you're acting on your own again." I grinned at him, "If Team Xiao knew that you were hypnotizing the suspect without permission, he would have to cut you." ”

"So, according to the agreement between the two of us, let you and I go to hypnosis for him, and sure enough, if two people bear it together, it is much easier to carry it than to carry it alone. Let's go, while Team Xiao is not paying attention, let's slip away in advance. Li Jing grinned evilly.

Shameless, I'm slandering in my heart. But since this time you know your mistakes and change them, and you don't leave me alone, I can reluctantly forgive you.

"It's been a big circle." On the way back, I looked at the darkening sky and said, thinking about the past two days, it was like experiencing a movie through time and space. But this time, we still know moviegoers.

"Hmm. The world is very complex, neither people nor things exist alone, everyone is connected to the world in many places, and some are good connections, you can meet interesting people and do interesting things. Some connections are not so rosy and will allow you to see the sinister side of human nature. But no matter what kind of connection you have, it proves that you are really in this world, so laugh when you encounter a good connection, cry when you encounter a bad thing, never hide what you feel unhappy about, it is better to say it in your heart, but to confirm that what you have found will not get worse. You see, if Wu Zhen had reported the real situation to the police, the death of two people could have been avoided. The police will stop the bad guys from destroying the eternal sleep of his ancestors, and Mr. Zhang's friend and Wang Ying will not experience a sudden death. ”

"I think you mean something else by counting it." I kept my head down.

"Hmm. Last time I sent you home, my uncle asked me to find time to talk to you. But I think you're so smart, there's always a time when you figure it out. It's up to you to get out of that circle, but if you're scared, I'll always be there for you. "Li Jing is actually a very gentle person, listening to his words, I came to this conclusion.

"But I don't want to understand it yet, so let's stop there, okay? Shouldn't we be more concerned about what Mr. Zhang has forgotten now? "I got off the hook and there were a lot of things I'm not ready to face right now, both in the past and in the future.
