Chapter 5: Cornered

"Report? It's useless, there are too many missing people here, and they haven't been reported, but after you report the case, the investigator gives you an explanation, these missing people must have gone out to work. ”

Follow the young man back to his home, sit down and tell us.

This is the staff dormitory on the construction site, the young man's name is Luo Fei, he took out a photo, the boy in the photo is sunny and handsome, holding a guitar in his hand, looking a little literary and artistic.

Luo Fei pointed to the photo and said to us: "This is Wang Wei, my classmate, a college student, maybe he secretly went out to work?" His family is also good, he came to play with me. ”

According to Luo Fei, Wang Wei and he were college classmates.

Luo Fei came to the construction site for internship, and Wang Wei himself didn't work much in school, so he also came here to play with Luo Fei.

Last night, the two of them went to the village late at night to eat snacks, and at about one o'clock in the evening, Wang Wei went to the forest to go to the toilet.

I didn't find Wang Wei back for a long time, Luo Fei called Wang Wei and found that Wang Wei had turned off the phone, Luo Fei felt bad, so he ran back to the construction site.

More than a dozen workers were called from the construction site, and they wandered the woods all night, and they even searched Zhaoxi Village and Mango Grove, but found no trace of Wang Wei.

Luo Fei contacted the school and Wang Wei's family, and the feedback from both sides was the same: Wang Wei did not go back to school, did not go home, and even contacted anyone.

He seemed to have disappeared from the world.

After the result was fruitless, Luo Fei chose to report the case, and after completing the record, he asked him to go home and wait for news, but there was no feedback.

Luo Fei couldn't sit still and decided to look for clues, and it was in the process of finding clues that he met us.

I patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "You don't have to worry too much, for missing cases, the investigator has 48 hours to file a case, and if there is no news after 48 hours, the investigator will send someone to look for it." ”

After listening to my comfort, Luo Fei was still very worried: "There are too many cases of disappearance here, I'm afraid the investigators are used to it and won't pay attention to Wang Wei's disappearance." ”

"Don't worry, this is on me, someone will notice."

I patted my chest and agreed to Luo Fei.

Luo Fei looked at me with a look of promise, looked me up and down a few times, and asked me a little puzzled: "How can you guarantee it?" You're not a big deal, how can you guarantee that my case will be taken seriously? ”

He probably saw the two of us in civilian clothes, and in his eyes, they were just two ordinary passers-by, right? So he doubts what I'm saying?

It seemed like it was time to identify myself, so I said, "Actually, we're ......."

"Reporter of the Metropolis Daily."

Suddenly, I interrupted my words, I looked at Mo Xiu in surprise, I don't know why Mo Xiu interrupted me, I don't know how Mo Xiu pretended to be a reporter, what kind of medicine is the little girl selling in the gourd?

"Are you journalists? What are you doing here? It's a poor place, there's no good news, what are you going to report? ”

The two of them frowned and doubted what I said.

I glanced at it and saw that Mo Xiu was winking at me, which means I should cooperate with Mo Xiu's performance?

Turning my head, I plucked up the courage to start: "Because someone revealed that there is a devil forest in Zhaoxi Village that eats people, we came here to decipher the cannibal legend of the devil's forest. ”

I said this lie without blushing, Luo Fei was stunned for a moment.

What's more, Mo Xiu took out a card from his bag and said to Luo Feiren, "Don't you believe it? This is our press card, I want to show you,"

Luo Fei looked at the business card in Mo Xiu's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Since you are reporters, I will tell you a big news." ”

I glanced at Mo Xiu, and Luo Fei seemed to have believed that we were reporters.

He poured a glass of water for each of us and said to us, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll find you a few people." ”

With that, he walked out the door.

Looking at Luo Fei, I lowered my voice and asked Mo Xiu: "Sister, do you really pretend to be a reporter like this?" We are investigators, what's wrong with telling him that we're investigators? ”

"Are you stupid? Don't you see that they have an opinion about the investigators? If you can recognize them, you won't find anything. ”

What Mo Xiu said seems to make a lot of sense, there are two people who have an opinion about the investigator just now, and if he knew that we are also investigators, he will not take the initiative to talk to us.

While this is a good idea, pretending to be a journalist is always wrong, and I asked, "If he finds out that we are fake, how are you going to get through it?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll have a perfect plan!"

I can say with certainty that at this time, Luo Fei came in with four or five middle-aged people, and those middle-aged people walked into the room, and the two of them warmly invited them to sit down.

We observed the expressions of these middle-aged people and found that their faces were gloomy and depressed, and they seemed to be a little sad.

After everyone sat down, Luo Fei began to introduce us: "Uncle and aunt, these two are reporters from the daily newspaper, they are here to learn about the situation of the children, if you have any complaints, please tell them......"

Before they could finish speaking, the middle-aged men and women suddenly went crazy, they knelt down from their chairs, pulled our trouser legs and cried, the room was a mess, the middle-aged men and women cried, they meant that we would speak for them, find their sons for them. They are desperate and there is no one to help them.

We managed to convince these middle-aged men and women to understand.

It turned out that these middle-aged men and women were looking for their children, almost all of their sons had disappeared near the woods, and some parents had been looking for their sons for several years, and in order to find their sons, the former millionaires created people and ghosts, and even had mental problems.

These parents had to live on a construction site because their son was ruined and they had no place to live, and from their eyes we could see the desperation.

The parents took out a photo of their son's disappearance, and the missing information was registered on it, which made people unbearable to look at it directly:.

This is the information on the photo of their son, the so-called "long-term illness becomes a good doctor", after looking for their son for so many years, they have not found their son, but they have honed their skills to become detectives.

Seeing this, we have mixed feelings, this is what investigators should do, however, where are investigators now?

We talked to them about the investigators, and their eyes were even more desperate: "We have to break through the threshold of the investigation office, but there is always only one answer, the case is under investigation, your child may have gone out to work secretly, or you can go back and wait, in case he suddenly comes back one day?" ”

It's a joke, but it's not.

It's a tragedy!

Our hearts were heavy, and after saying goodbye to the parents of the children, we decided to hurry back to the institute and we had to solve this doubt.

Did these parents file a report? If they report the cases, have the cases already been dealt with?

If they don't report it, why are they so defaming investigators?

Not long after we left Zhaoxi Village in a yellow car, two off-road jeeps stopped us back and forth, and several young men with baseball bats jumped out of the jeeps and forced them to come.

Two young men stood in front of me and stopped my car, and I asked, "What do you do?" Why are you in our way? ”

The young man who took the lead took a baseball bat in his hand and hit it gently, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I heard that you two are reporters from Metropolis Daily, and those of us in remote areas have not seen the world, let alone reporters, are you willing to go with us to interview our poor people?" ”

No, they treat us like journalists.

No, we only told Luo Fei and his parents that we were journalists, how did these bastards know that we were journalists?

Have our identities been revealed by them?

At the critical moment, we can no longer show people with fake identities, and at the same time, Acacia and I took out our documents: "We are investigators, so we pretend to be investigating the case, I hope you don't influence us to solve the case, why don't you do it, brothers?" Beat the two fake journalists and the fake investigators to death. ”

Leading young man wielding a baseball bat!

If there's no extra work, just do it!

Although the two of us are not necessarily opponents of these seven or eight people, since the other party wants to fight, we don't need to be arrogant.

I picked up the yellow car and threw it at the two young men who were rushing towards me, and I said to the people next to me, "I'll hold a few people first, you can take a moment to call for help." ”
