Chapter 131: Beware of Strangers
Investigating the case is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and Li Jiangwei is also ready to fight a protracted battle. In the evening, I returned to the inn and began to study the information recorded in the "Seeing and Hearing".
Although Li Jiangwei only met those people once, "Seeing and Hearing" recorded their names and places of origin, as well as the time they came here. She found that the group of people she asked today had only come to Yuanning this year, and they were not the same as the ones she saw when she came to Yuanning last year.
It is highly likely that the previous group of people will see the situation improve and return to their hometowns. Now this group of people, I'm afraid they don't even have a home, and they are going north to find a way to live.
If only I could get in touch with the people of the Heavenly Machine Camp...... Li Jiangwei fell on the bed, thinking.
When she checked the clues again on the second day, Li Jiangwei changed her mind, and she decided to start with the time when the rumors appeared. It is human nature to listen to the excitement, and the rumors of disappearance are not a secret, Li Jiangwei found the time for the rumors to rise without much effort.
The first rumor of a disappearance appeared in April this year.
If Li Jiangwei is not mistaken, this is also the time when she was involved in the fraud case.
Fan Gang has a child, no matter how hungry he is, it is impossible not to eat. Thinking of this, Li Jiangwei walked into the shop selling food with Fan Gang's portrait, and asked one by one.
However, Li Jiangwei ran almost all over Yuan Ning, and she couldn't ask for the clues she wanted. After running for a day, the extremely tired Li Jiangwei squatted on the side of the street, holding a portrait of Fan Gang in her hand, just spread it on the ground.
She had just sat down to rest for less than a quarter of an hour when someone threw a copper plate at her.
Li Jiangwei wanted to send the copper plate back, but her legs were a little weak, and she couldn't get up all of a sudden, and the person walked away. Li Jiangwei grabbed the copper plate in one hand and the portrait in the other, standing there blankly at a loss.
"Ouch, little girl."
A fat aunt in an apron suddenly came over and said, "What's wrong with you?" Separated from your family? ”
Li Jiangwei hurriedly raised the hand holding the portrait and asked, "Have you ever seen the person on the portrait?" He also has a son, who is about that tall. ”
He asked, gesturing.
"This person is a little familiar." The aunt tilted her head, as if thinking, and suddenly she slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "I know where he is." Girl, come with me. ”
After a day's walk, it's rare to have news. Li Jiangwei smiled brightly, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Li Jiangwei followed closely behind the fat aunt, for fear of losing the hard-won news.
The sun is setting, the red glow is gradually covered by the night, and you can even see a little starlight in the sky. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the alleys walked became narrower and more remote.
Li Jiangwei felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly summoned the ink protector out and surrounded her. Pretending not to know anything, he smiled and asked, "How long do we have to get there?" It's been a day of walking, and some of them can't walk anymore! ”
The fat aunt paused, turned around, and smiled sadly: "It's okay, if you're tired, just rest." ”
"But I want to find Uncle Fan sooner!" While asking, I was wary of my surroundings.
"There's no hurry, it'll be there in a while."
"One more moment, when is it? How far is it going? Where does Uncle Fan live now? ”
"Seeing and Hearing", which had been floating beside Li Jiangwei, suddenly had a few more lines, and Li Jiangwei knew that something was wrong and wanted to retreat. Sure enough, a big man suddenly appeared and blocked Li Jiangwei's retreat.
"I advise you to go with me obediently, so that you can eat and drink spicy food in the future, and you can wear silk and satin. Look at your fine skin and tender meat, if you don't behave, I'm afraid I'll hurt you. ”
After speaking, the fat aunt glanced at the big man behind Li Jiangwei.
The big man was about to pounce on Li Jiangwei with a big stick, and Li Jiangwei hid in the other direction of the big man according to the instructions of "Seeing and Hearing". Seeing that he couldn't do it, the big man was annoyed and angry, and he was about to hit Li Jiangwei with a big stick.
"Ouch! Be careful! If she breaks her face, it won't be worth much! ”
Li Jiangwei, who has walked all the way, has weak legs and feet, and her sensitivity is far less than her peak. After barely dodging two blows, Li Jiangwei had to use the ink guard to resist the big man's wooden stick.
Li Jiangwei's ink protector has no ability to attack, and can only barely defend against enemy attacks. That's enough, though.
The two sticks smashed down, and a thin little girl didn't react at all, which made the big man secretly frightened, and unconsciously increased his strength. It smashed down again, and the palm of his hand shook painfully. But the girl, still unscathed, stood in front of him with all her beards and tails.
Li Jiangwei didn't dare to continue to maneuver, and ran towards a crowded place while dodging. The big man and the fat aunt chased after each other for a while, all the way to the street. When they got to the street, the two still didn't give up, and shouted as they ran: "Our fugitive slave has escaped!" Help us stop! ”
The fat aunt's voice shouted and attracted the attention of people on the street. But they were all a group of people who watched coldly, and no one stepped forward to help the two of them stop them.
Li Jiangwei gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her legs, and ran back to the inn where she lived. I was relieved to change my clothes and freshen up, take off my disguise, and lie down on the bed.
The next day, it was still fruitless.
An inconspicuous little person, even if he disappears, no one will care. Even if you have a name and a portrait, it is difficult to find a trace. Those who don't even have their names left are gone, where to start?
Li Jiangwei knew that this was a hot potato, but she didn't expect this potato to come with a heating bag.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, and the more annoyed I feel, the more hungry I feel!
Early in the morning of the third day, when Li Jiangwei was about to leave the inn after breakfast, she happened to meet the coachman who came back from checking the carriage.
"Eh! Girl! ”
Li Jiangwei didn't have much energy, nodded at him, and snorted.
"The girl is really a god!"
"How?"
"In the past six months, I have run so many Lie Yuanning, and it has been so smooth for the first time."
"How?"
The coachman laughed and said, "Since the flood in the lower river, there has been no safety around Yuanning. Robbers from all walks of life control the main road, and they will not let people go without giving money. This is the first time I've come in so smoothly. ”
"Are you familiar with the outskirts of Yuanning?"
"Of course familiar! The robbers outside had only come for half a year, and as soon as they came, they drove away the other robbers who had been entrenched here. Now this original Ning City, whether it is in or out, you have to pay for the road. ”
"I remember the last time you told me to reroute. Since the entire Yuanning City is surrounded by them, isn't it still impossible to enter the diversion course? ”
The coachman coughed awkwardly and said, "I asked the girl to change the route, that is to let the girl go to another place." We were unarmed, and the girl was alone. I'm afraid that I will give the money to buy the road, and I ...... I won't let it go! ”
