Zhang Yi did not answer Ning Bai's question in time. After smoking, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and slowly exhaled the last white smoke: "Let's go back to sleep first, our police will try their best to find Ding Zhong." Raising his hand and patting Ning Bai's arm, Zhang Yi got up and walked back to his office.

Ning Bai sat at the police station for a while and left. He did not go back to school, but went to Ding Xiao's house.

Originally, he was still very self-blaming and guilty about Ding Zhong's disappearance, but after learning about the situation, he was very angry. Now he finally understood the meaning of Ding Xiao's words last night, it turned out that it was all because of her!

But when he knocked on the door of Ding Xiao's house and saw Ding Xiao's haggard look, Ning Bai couldn't say anything about what he was about to scold.

Ding Xiao is Ding Zhong's sister after all, and she doesn't want this to happen now.

But it's all coming, and you can't say nothing.

"I just went to the police station...... The police are already fully investigating the case of Ding Zhong's disappearance. We have to believe that the alarm is blowing, and Ding Zhong will definitely be found safely! In the last sentence, he seemed to be comforting Ding Xiao, and more like comforting himself.

Ding Xiao lowered her eyes, she also hoped so.

"Let's get some rest." Dropping these words, Ning Bai turned around and left.

Ding Xiao closed the door after Ning Bai turned to leave, and slowly slid to the ground with his back against the door. She buried her head in her knees with her hands in her face, and the scene of the murderer's murder a while ago began to appear in her mind again.

What would happen if Ding Zhong fell into his hands? And what was the reason for the death of the victim that night.

She had avoided these before, but now she wanted to know. If the victim that night was an innocent passerby, then the murderer must be a demon who kills without blinking, then if it is a vendetta, Ding Zhong still has some hope of survival.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiao immediately got up and walked to the coffee table, picked up the mobile phone placed on the coffee table and called Zhang Yi.

The phone prompted that no one answered, Ding Xiao thought about calling again, and there was another knock on the door.

"Ding Xiao."

It was Zhang Manman who knocked on the door. Usually the two of them work the evening shift, but they came over at noon, and Zhang Manman didn't even paint makeup. "What the hell is going on with you, you just moved and didn't even go to work?"

Obviously, Zhang Manman was sent by his boss.

"Oh my God, look at your dark circles. And your face, what did you do last night? Don't you know that you can't stop broadcasting every night? Once stopped......"

"My sister is missing." Ding Xiao opened her mouth to interrupt Zhang Manman's sharp voice, and she felt some pain in her eardrums. "I'll explain it over there, Mr. Luo."

Zhang Manman originally wanted to say something complaining, but when she heard this disappearance, she was stunned.

Her job is the same as Ding Xiao's, responsible for collecting and broadcasting all kinds of unsolved case information. When she heard the news of Ding Zhong's disappearance, the first thing in her mind was whether Ding Zhong would be killed......

It took a long time for Zhang Manman to come back to his senses from his stunnedness. She licked her lips and lowered her voice a lot: "Disappeared yesterday?" ”

"Hmm."

"What's going on?"

The two sat on the sofa, and Ding Xiao told Zhang Manman what happened and her analysis. Zhang Manman nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "Then aren't you also dangerous?" After all, the murderer's target is you. ”

"I'm worried about Ding Deng's safety."

"I can understand your feelings." Zhang Manman put his hand on the back of Ding Xiao's hand: "But if the murderer knows that he has caught the wrong person, you will still be very dangerous." Maybe you'll be next......"

Ding Zhong raised his eyes to look at Zhang Manman, and Zhang Manman continued: "Don't look at me like this, what I said is the truth." You've been broadcasting for so long, you should know a lot of murderers' usual methods. There are still some murderers who have not been arrested since committing crimes, what does this mean? It shows that they are thoughtful and do not drag their feet. is like what ancient villains often say: It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. ”

Ding Xiao withdrew her hand with some displeasure, of course she knew, so she was very irritable now.

Seeing Ding Xiao's ugly face, Zhang Manman stood up: "Mr. Luo asked me to see what your situation is, if you want to be okay now, go to the company." I helped you top the show when you stopped broadcasting last night, if you can't broadcast tonight, it's best to go to Mr. Luo to ask for leave now, otherwise you won't be able to keep your job. With that, she got up and left.

Ding Xiao also went out after Zhang Manman left and went straight to the company.

And at the same time, on the other side -

Ding was taken to a small slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Fancheng. There are no residents in a radius of ten miles near the slaughterhouse, and the slaughterhouse is surrounded by an open lawn, with woods and rivers three kilometers away, which is a bit far from the kilometer. In other words, such a remote place is generally not visited.

……

A stream of cold liquid flowed down from the top of Ding Deng's head, and Ding Zhong came to his senses coldly. When she came to her senses, she saw a dark room, save for a small dim yellow light on the wooden table in the distance.

'Bell-'

The iron basin was thrown to the ground with a piercing and screeching sound. Ding Zhong's good-looking facial features frowned together, and he slowly looked up.

The man who had kidnapped her had his back to the light, and Ding Zhong couldn't see his face clearly, only feeling that the water that had just poured on her made her shiver with cold.

"You...... Who are you...... I don't know you...... Why did you bring me here......" She was scared, her voice trembling.

The man crouched down and reached for her chin. "If you had seen it that night, I'd have saved myself. Now, it's time to make another trip. After saying that, he let go of his hand and took out Ding Zhong's mobile phone from his coat pocket.

Unlocking the phone, he saw the number of his sister in the address book. "Ding Xiao ......"

Ding Zhong realized that he had been kidnapped. Her untied hands quickly reached into her pockets and took out two hundred yuan from her pockets: "All the money on my body is for you, and there are still some ...... in the card"

The man looked at the money in Ding Zhong's hand indifferently and reached out to take it. "Want to see your sister?" He asked.

Ding Zhong nodded violently, thinking that the man would let him go.

The man closed the sliding phone and stood up, looking at Ding Zhong condescendingly: "Then I will let you meet your sister as soon as possible." He laughed, and the sound of laughter echoed ethereal through the room as if it had come from the eighteenth floor of hell.

Ding Zhong's heart snorted, and he reached out and grabbed the man's trouser leg: "What do you want to do?" I can give you any money if you want it, or you can call my sister. ”

The man kicked Ding Gong away. Ding Zhong stood up after being kicked aside, and she quickly circled her eyes around to find a weapon to defend herself from.

But there was nothing in the dark room, and even the ground under his feet was mixed dirt.

The man was immediately displeased when he saw Ding Zhong's posture, he put his mobile phone in his pocket, and slowly approached Ding Zhong. Ding Zhong stepped back into the corner, "You...... What do you want? ”

The man didn't say a word, raised his hand and swung his fist and landed on Ding Zhong's face. Ding Zhong was knocked to the ground, and a sharp pain came from the socket of his face. Before she could catch her breath, the man landed another punch on her shoulder.

"Ah......h Ding Zhong's body fell backwards and fell to the ground, causing her eyes to be full of stars.

Seeing that the man still didn't give up, he raised his leg and kicked Ding Zhong. He didn't stop kicking until Ding Zhong passed out, leaned over, picked up the iron basin on the ground, walked outside, and took a basin of cold water.

However, this time Ding Zhong was not splashed awake, and it seemed that he really fainted.

The man didn't care, dropped the iron basin and left the hut, locking the door.

On December 25, 2008, five days had passed since Ding Deng's disappearance.

Ning Bai never went to school again after Ding Deng's disappearance, and Ding Xiao wanted to ask for leave, but the company did not approve it. So Ding Xiao distributed leaflets around during the day to find Ding Deng's figure, and continued to work at night.

But it didn't work at all, and there was no news from the police.

Ding Zhong's whereabouts were like silver needles sinking into the sea, without a single wave.

"Let's go get something to eat first." Lu Yuanhao drove the car next to Ding Xiao, rolled down the window and said to her.

Ding Xiao was holding a stack of missing person notices in her hand, she knew that it was useless, but she still wanted to try.

opened the car door and got into the car, Lu Yuanhao took her to a Chinese restaurant and ordered a table of dishes. "When you are full, you have the strength to search. Isn't there any news from the police? ”

Ding Xiao sighed helplessly. "If it were really that easy to find, there wouldn't be so many unsolved cases on the old news. Just ......," she said, glancing back outside the restaurant. In the past two days, her feeling of being watched came again, and she thought of what Zhang Manman said: If the murderer knew that he had caught the wrong person, he would not give up, even if he already knew that Ding Xiao had never seen his appearance. But the psychology of killing people is always to get rid of everyone who has seen him.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Yuanhao sandwiched a piece of chicken leg and put it in Ding Xiao's bowl, and he was also helping Ding Xiao find Ding Zhong in the past few days.

"Nothing." Ding Xiao turned his head and smiled bitterly, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

If her feelings are correct, then the killer must be spying on her. As long as the murderer spies on her, she will show up, and when the time comes, the police will be able to catch the murderer.

"Thank you for the past few days." Ding Xiao said suddenly. "Are you done with your work here?"

Lu Yuanhao frowned lightly: "It's almost ready." ”

"Eh, Ding Xiao!"

Yin Tian walked in from outside the restaurant and saw Ding Xiao at a glance. This is not the point, the focus is on Lu Yuanhao, who was sitting opposite Ding Xiao.

When did Ding Xiao know such a handsome man? This surprised Yin Tian.

"Yin Tian?" Ding Xiao was also very surprised, and he was unexpectedly able to meet Yin Tian here.

Yin Tian was not polite, and directly pulled out a chair and sat down. "Waiter, please add double dishes and chopsticks." After speaking, she looked at Ding Xiao with a smile: "Don't mind, right?" ”

Ding Xiao looked at Lu Yuanhao: "It's okay." ”
