Chapter 15: What to Discover
Mo Xiu said to me on the phone: "If you continue like this, I will tell you that I look down on you." ”
With that, she hung up with a bang.
Just then, the door to the living room opened.
Yang Ziguang came in with wine and vegetables, stared at me and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?" ”
Yang Ziguang's arrival was beyond my expectations.
He put down the wine and food and said, "Are you worried about lying to her?" ”
I didn't answer.
Staring at the belt in my hand, I fell into deep thought.
Yang Ziguang looked at me like this, sighed, and brought out the cold dishes while pouring wine: "Why don't you ask me why I'm here?" ”
"I didn't ask, you'll tell."
I didn't lift my eyelids, and although Yang Ziguang looked haggard, his mental state was much better than mine.
Yang said calmly, "Do you know why I divided the four of us into two groups? ”
"Do you want to start with the disappearance case and get closer to the final truth of the whole picture step by step from the outside?"
I came up with a bold idea.
Yang Ziguang took a deep breath: "First, Meng Xiyao was kidnapped in the woods; second, there are many children missing in the same location; Third, there are so many missing people, but the investigators did not pay attention, what is the reason for this? ”
Yang Ziguang said this, and I was surprised: "Do you also know that there are missing people here?" ”
"What can escape my eyes and ears?"
Yang Ziguang asked with a frown.
"Now that you know, why not start investigating? By the way, it is difficult to understand why so many cases of disappearances occur one after the other, without any concerns. ”
Yang Ziguang raised his head and stared at the ceiling, his dull eyes for more than ten seconds.
He said to me, "Do you know why I want you to investigate this missing case? ”
"If I'm guessing correctly, you're trying to cover it up, aren't you?"
I asked, looking him straight in the face.
Maybe everything is something you don't want to see.
But these things can't be influenced by themselves, so they can only look at all this in the way of development.
It's a painful question.
There may be no one who can understand it, but what you really understand may seem so casual to others, and it is also a kind of thing that cannot be forgotten.
Yang Ziguang lowered his head and sighed: "You are the only person worthy of my trust." ”
"Why do you say that?"
I was shaking a little.
Since it's the same team, why talk about trust and distrust?
Yang Ziguang said: "Do you know, my apprentices were all killed by gangsters because their whereabouts were exposed during the operation. ”
What happened to his apprentice? What's wrong with me?
I said, "Boss, how can your apprentices sacrifice so much, how can it be so coincidental?" ”
"There aren't so many coincidences in this world, but there are a lot of ghosts in this world!"
Yang Ziguang's eyes shot a sad look, and the rest of his eyes were mixed with a bit of stubborn and unyielding light.
I looked him in the eye, opened my mouth, and said nothing.
I know what Yang Ziguang means. He blamed the sacrifice of his disciples on the scum of the team. However, it can be seen that he could not provide evidence that his statements were correct.
Of course, we can only reserve opinions if we can't confirm it.
I still believe in my own opinion, and I believe in our team. Whatever happened to them, right now, we're based on what we've seen.
Looking at my silence, Yang Ziguang asked me: "Shouldn't you hate me if I let you do such a dangerous job?" ”
"It's a task, and I certainly can't hate it. In my opinion, this task is not dangerous. ”
I'm embodying myself.
God hasn't recovered from last night's NDE!
Maybe it's because I'm young. I have a fighting spirit in my heart. While this unreliable fighting spirit may cost me my life, I don't want to put my head down.
Yang Ziliang looked at my face and said to me for a long time, "You know what? Seeing you now, I want to see my former self. At that time, I thought I was invincible, no challenge was a challenge, and I hoped that this time I didn't choose the wrong person
……
After a day of rest, the next day it was dark, and I went to Zhaoxi Village with my belt again. As soon as I entered the village, I saw that there was ostrichew stew selling at the entrance of the village. I want to buy some when I'm hungry. As soon as I paid the money, I was surrounded by villagers who took me to a large courtyard.
This is supposed to be the local guest room hall, with high walls and iron gates. Above is a large iron shed with only one exit. It looks like a shady prison. The villagers turned on the lights and surrounded me in the middle.
I was blinded by the glare of the lights and looked at the murderous villagers. I don't know why they hate me so much, or if the village is hostile to outsiders.
I asked the bald man in front of me, "Do we know each other?" How the hell did you bring me here? ”
"We just want you to meet a few people."
Bald head, not smiling, after saying this, he waved his hand. A group of villagers came to me with a few people. I looked up and saw that these were the same parents who were looking for their children.
Qi Wei's parents are also among them.
Qi Wei's parents seemed a little excited. They broke free from the hands of the villagers and tried to pounce on them.
Especially when the woman saw me and exclaimed, "Aren't you the damn investigator?" Last night I was asked to find my son for us, but we haven't found a result yet. Are you fooling the people like this? ”
The bald man blinked.
When their parents saw one bald head after another, their eyes disappeared one by one. The parents of the children rushed forward excitedly and surrounded me in the middle. A tall man grabbed me by the collar and clenched his fists to beat me: "If you don't give us another result tonight, you don't want to leave this courtyard." ”
"What are you doing? Will you gather a crowd to make trouble? I'm here to investigate this case. What's the matter with you surrounding me like this? ”
Seeing everyone's indomitable appearance, I quickly raised my voice and asked, but my voice was quickly suppressed by their voices.
Emotional parents poured out one by one.
"My son has been missing for 5 years. It's been five years, you investigators have been looking for five years, but you can't find anything. We ordinary people spend money to feed you. What exactly do we eat? ”
I drowned in saliva.
Hearing them say that, I think these parents have lost their minds.
No wonder they lost confidence in investigators because of their inaction. Now their emotions have reached a tipping point. When they see an investigator, they explode.
But why are these villagers agitating?
Let these irrational parents besiege me? Is it my investigation of the case that touches their interests, and they want to stop me from investigating the case?
I calmly thought about the question and let my parents spit in my face.
I know I have to endure it now.
Only if I can endure it, can I calm the anger of my parents. Only when the parents calm down will I have the freedom to go out and continue investigating the case.
Look at me with my head down and let my parents curse.
The bald man approached me and whispered, "Little brother, I can do you a favor and get you out of here, but you must promise me that after you leave, you will not continue to investigate this case." ”
"Why did you give me such conditions?"
I knew he had bad intentions. If it weren't for their instigation, my parents wouldn't have found me, and they wouldn't have caused such a big conflict.
He didn't change his head and said to me, "I'll tell you the truth." Your arrival has disturbed the peaceful life of our villagers. The villagers want to restore peace to their lives, so you have to leave. ”
He seems to have a good reason.
But in my opinion, it is full of flaws. I'm just an investigator looking into a case. How can investigators disrupt their lives?
Unless these people want to hide something.
What they deliberately concealed was what I had been looking for, so there would be conflict between us. Since there is a conflict, they will sow discord and let parents who are disappointed in the investigator besiege the investigator and make me retreat in the face of difficulties.
But I wouldn't retreat, so I asked the bald man, "What will you do with me if I don't go?" ”
"If you don't leave, let yourself leave forever."
There was a murderous look in his bare eyes. He's threatening me. I was about to speak. He turned and walked away. Then he waved his hand and told the villagers to retreat. He took the villagers out of the yard.
