Under the leadership of Wu Zhengyi, Fang Xu called the people in the village and conducted a carpet search, the village itself is not big, a few more people were added, and it took more than ten minutes to find the village.

However, it was the same as the result of the first search, and no trace of the child was found.

Wu Zhengyi vaguely felt that something was wrong, and if he disappeared for no reason, he would definitely be tired.

Fang Xu looked at the time and asked Fang Yu to find a few aunts to comfort Chai Jing.

After Fang Yu left, Fang Xu said: "The time for the sacrifice is almost up, but the child still has to continue to look for it, so let's leave a few people to look for the child, and the rest will go back with me to prepare for the sacrifice." ”

"Village chief, will this kid leave the village?" At this time, someone in the crowd asked.

Fang Xu hesitated for a while, saying that it was so dark outside the village, a five or six-year-old child would not dare to go out easily, no matter how bold he was.

And before entering the village, when Fang Xu accompanied Chai Jing to cross the bridge, the child was obviously afraid of heights, and refused to cross the bridge at first, but finally Fang Xu covered his eyes and hugged him.

Fang Xu looked at Wu Zhengyi, and he suddenly felt that this person was not simple.

Before leaving, Fang Xu called Wu Zhengyi aside and asked who Wu Zhengyi was?

Wu Zhengyi took out his documents, and Fang Xu looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade policeman, do you think this incident could really be a kidnapping?"

Wu Zhengyi didn't dare to make a conclusion privately, but the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the child in this village the size of a sesame dot is itself a cat.

Judging by the current situation, someone must have hidden the child.

Wu Zhengyi met Chai Jing after Fang Xu left and learned some information.

Chai Jing is also from Fangjia Village, and met her current husband while working outside, and the two fell in love at first sight and gave birth to a boy named Xiang Qian, who is also the missing child.

Over the years, as long as there is a sacrifice held in the village, Chai Jing will arrive on time, and for her, the sacrifice in the village is the only reason for her to go home.

In the years when Chai Jing left the village to work, her parents died of cancer, and if she didn't have anything to do, she wouldn't have returned to this small village at all.

Wu Zhengyi asked Chai Jing if he had any enemies in the local area?

Chai Jing said: "Enemy? Forget it, it's such a small village in itself, everyone is almost a big family, unlike outside for money and land, big fights, everyone here just needs to eat and drink, and I've been away from my hometown for so long, even if I want to find an enemy, I'm afraid it's hard to find. ”

Wu Zhengyi rubbed his chin and said, "What about before leaving Fangjia Village?" ”

Chai Jing said: "I was a little girl before leaving, where did I get so many enemies." ”

Wu Zhengyi is a little strange, since there is no enemy, is it really just a simple disappearance?

But if it's simply missing, it stands to reason that it should have been found a long time ago.

Wu Zhengyi suddenly thought of the holy pool, suspecting that the child was playful, maybe he went to the holy pool and drowned!

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Zhengyi immediately followed the villagers to search for it near the holy pool.

They brought almost everything in the village that could be used as lighting.

The so-called holy pond is actually a pond, the size of which is the size of the basketball court, just behind the altar, and there are three steel hollow pipes like cannons on the side of the sacred pool, facing the wall of the altar, like a cannon guarding the border.

The hole in the hollow tube is about the size of a bucket. This thing Wu Zhengyi has seen in the countryside before, this is the water outlet pipe in a small electric dam, every time the field needs to irrigate, it will produce water, and it is generally controlled by electricity.

Sure enough, there was a small shop house not far away, which was used to control the spraying of water from the hollow column.

Muraaki said that in order to ensure the cleanliness of the water in the sacred pond, the three hollow pipes lead directly to the reservoir in the mountain, and a fountain is held every night and during the day.

Wu Zhengyi took people to take a picture in the holy pool, and found that the lake was very calm, and there were no traces of slipping around.

In order to prove that there was no one underwater, several village names with excellent water properties in the village stripped naked and jumped down, and after some searching, they made sure that there was no figure of Xiang Qian under the holy pool.

Wu Zhengyi asked, "Since there is a water inlet, there must also be a drainage outlet." ”

The name of the village took Wu Zhengyi to the drainage, only to see that the drain was blocked with barbed wire, not to mention people, even fish couldn't get through.

Now it seems that there is no drama on the side of the holy pool, and the village names are a little tired of looking for them, and in desperation, Wu Zhengyi can only go to the villagers' houses alone to find someone.

I happened to meet Bao Xiaoting on the way.

"Why are you up?"

Bao Xiaoting obviously hadn't woken up yet, rubbed her eyes and said, "I was woken up, I heard that a child is missing, what's the situation now?" ”

Wu Zhengyi frowned and said, "The situation is a little bad, the child is missing." ”

"How could a child go missing in such a small village? Gone outside? ”

Wu Zhengyi didn't answer, but asked Bao Xiaoting to help, and the two took advantage of the absence of people in the village to search almost all the families, but they still didn't find Xiang Qian.

Bao Xiaoting said helplessly: "I shouldn't really go out of the village." ”

"Impossible, it's so dark outside, and when I entered the village, Fang Xu said that children are afraid of heights, do you think a child who doesn't dare to cross the bridge accompanied by an adult will suddenly become bold?"

Bao Xiaoting suddenly realized, and then asked, "Is someone really hiding him?" ”

She looked around and felt that it was impossible, she had almost searched all the places where she could hide, if Xiang Qian was really hidden, then she should have found it.

Bao Xiaoting's whole body was terrified, and she suddenly asked, "Did you suddenly disappear from this world?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the electric light outside suddenly sizzled, and then went out with a snap, and then it was pitch black all around, which frightened Bao Xiaoting and hugged Wu Zhengyi.

Wu Zhengyi was caught off guard by being hugged by a lump of warm cotton meat, and his face turned red instantly.

Bao Xiaoting was half frightened to death, this is a person who walked in the dark.

Wu Zhengyi took a flashlight, and it turned out to be Fang Yu.

Seeing the two hugging each other, Fang Yu sighed and said, "I also said that it is not a couple, it is all in this posture, could it be cheating?" ”

Bao Xiaoting hurriedly let go of embarrassment, Wu Zhengyi hugged Fang Yu's neck and said, "What is in the child's head, let me ask you, did you turn off this light?" ”

Fang Yu snorted, and Wu Zhengyi said helplessly: "Why are you turning off the lights?" Do you want to do something bad too? ”

"I'm not as shameless as you think, the sacrifice is about to begin, this is our rule here, all the forehead light must be turned off during the sacrifice, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the gods."

Wu Zhengyi sighed thoughtfully, and Bao Xiaoting asked, "The person hasn't been found yet, what kind of sacrifice is there to do?" ”

Fang Yu replied solemnly: "In our place, the sacrifice is greater than everything, my father said that when the sacrifice is over, the whole village will be mobilized to look for it, and if you can't find it in the village, you will go out of the village to find it." ”

Wu Zhengyi saw that the lights had been extinguished outside, so he asked how long would the sacrifice end?

Fang Yu said: "The time is not long, half an hour at most. ”

Wu Zhengyi exhaled, half an hour, that's not so much time.

Then he said to Bao Xiaoting: "Let's go, let's go see this sacrifice too." ”
