That's probably what happened next. Chen Li was abducted in the bustling market, and the two old men cried and shouted to find and call the police, but there was no way. At that time, the criminal investigation technology was extremely backward, and in the more remote counties, child abduction and trafficking cases were not uncommon, and the police were particularly powerless in the face of such cases.

The old people never saw their children again.

At that time, child trafficking could be said to be a lucrative industry. In 2000, for example, a farmer's annual income was less than 3,000 yuan, but the money from abducting and selling a child was as much as 12,000 at that time!

But there are still many people who are willing to spend such a sky-high price in order to buy a child.

When I left the detention center, it was about 10 o'clock in the evening. I was walking alone on the way home. The streets are not deserted at all, and every New Year's Day, people who go to work in the big cities return to their hometowns. At this time, the taverns, barbecue stalls and food stalls on the street are full of people drinking and playing cards.

At the moment, I am not in the mood to join in this excitement.

I probably already know the information that the murderer gave us. Actually, I didn't expect to ask such an important clue from the old man's mouth. Their abducted daughter back then, if I guessed correctly, should be Cai Mingfen, who is already dead! And at this time, according to the logic of the murderer, Gao Wangming, who was cut off his little finger, is likely to be the biological son of the old man Zhao Guoqiang! In other words, the Zhao family should also have a history of children being abducted and trafficked!

Of course, all of this is just my guess for now. But it is not difficult to prove all this. All you need to do is test their DNA, and then everything will fall into place. I'll leave my conjecture to technology for the time being.

I watched the people on the street come and go, and thought to myself: I have finally grasped that glimmer of hope.

But I know that the murderer's purpose is definitely not just to lead us to the abduction case, but to let us find out what is behind all this. Therefore, now we need to immediately change our thinking, immediately shift our thinking to the abduction and trafficking cases of the year, and follow the vine to find the source.

Thinking of this, I took out my phone and wanted to check the time, only to find that the phone screen was full of Ouyang Qian's missed calls and the text messages she sent me.

"Team Shao, reply to me as soon as you see it, I have made a major discovery."

Just a short sentence, but I was excited to call her back.

After a few "beeps", the call was connected.

"Hey, Xiaoqian, tell me what you found!"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a full ten seconds, and a deep voice rang out.

"Hello, Shao Feng, Officer Shao."

At this time, a cold wind blew through my body, and I froze in place, my hand holding the phone trembling uncontrollably. Listening to this male voice, it was as if the demon I had been facing suddenly stood in front of me. At this moment, I saw the hornless demon crack its mouth, laughing, trembling, and suddenly staring at me with a serious gaze.

"You pervert! I warn you, Ouyang Qian has nothing to do with what you're going to do! She's not your pawn! If you dare to touch Ouyang Qian's hair! You're dead, I'll ...... it myself"

"Officer Shao, don't get excited. Rest assured, I will never hurt her. I'm not going to kill anyone for no reason, and I'm not going to let anyone I want to kill easily. Cai Mingfen is a useless **, and it is not a pity to die; The garbage of society like the sons of those two old men was originally part of my plan - although I didn't expect you police to torture those two old men to extract confessions, hahaha, this is something I never expected,"

I stood in the brightly lit streets around me, but it was as if I was in an endless abyss, and the voice of demons echoed in my ears, obscuring everything around me.

"But thanks to you, Officer Shao, Gao Wangming, who should have died, was saved by you, and I blame me for being careless at the time and using too complicated methods...... You are the first to be able to perceive my plans. I also feel very fortunate to have such an opponent worthy of my respect. I didn't expect anyone to read the message I left behind, but that's okay, so I don't have to do it myself, and I'll leave it to you to kill them. ”

"Who are they?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you for the time being, this must be discovered by yourself, or rather, by your task force, otherwise everything I did will be meaningless, hehe."

"Why call me. You know it's dangerous. ”

"No, no, no, you're wrong. It's not dangerous at all. At this time, everyone is happily living their New Year, and they will not notice the strangeness around them at all. As for your little Qianqian, she's asleep in your house right now......"

I was shocked, clenched my fists, and immediately ran in the direction of my house.

"Look at you, don't be in such a hurry. Didn't I tell you, she's safe? I called you just to say hello. Say hello to someone I respect and say Happy New Year. Oh yes, by the way, your assistant is a bit of a good guy, she's already found out who I am. But it doesn't matter, because ...... Alas, nothing. ”

I continued to run without saying a word. Not far ahead is the hallway of my house. The demon was still talking in my ear.

"I don't think you want to hear me anymore, what's going on with a little sadness all of a sudden. But that's okay, we'll see each other again soon. I mean, face-to-face chat. It's really boring to chat on your phone...... Officer Shao, goodbye. ”

The "...... beep" call was hung up. My ears fell silent, except for the sound of the running wind.

I ran to the door as fast as I could and opened it. There was no one in the living room. I ran into my bedroom and saw her lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, as he said, Ouyang Qian was not hurt in any way.

She woke up suddenly, wiped her sleepy eyes, Ouyang Qian stretched, and said a little embarrassed: "Team Shao, I don't know why I fell asleep with you......"

I stepped forward and hugged her.

"I was so worried just now. I thought something had happened to you......" I hugged her tightly, and my palms were still in a cold sweat from nervousness.

Her face suddenly turned red, and she touched my head stupidly: "Okay, Team Shao, aren't I doing well." What the hell is going on? ”

"The killer just called me."

The demon's voice still echoes in my ears now.
