Chapter 5: A Diary
Jian Gao was just about to leave, when suddenly he heard movement inside the door behind him, which had been sealed. He felt a chill hit the back of his head, and Jian Gao turned around suddenly, and he saw the door......
The door stood there quietly, without any movement at all, and Jian Gao stopped for a while, until Zhang Suo called him, and then he turned around and left silently.
After returning to the village, the group came to Xiaochao's house again, and Zhang promised Xiaochao's parents to try all kinds of ways to find Xiaochao, and immediately reported to the county public security bureau to launch an investigation after returning home. After that, Zhang Suo sat for a while and then led the team back first.
Jian Gao and his father did not leave or stayed at Xiaochao's house, and after a while, Jian Gao's mother also came, and then some villagers who heard that Xiaochao was missing also came to Xiaochao's house one after another.
At this time, Jian Gao suddenly thought of one thing, what he thought of was that Xiao Chao had the habit of writing a diary when he was in school, which was a pretty good habit for a rural child. Jian Gao hurriedly called Wang Xiuli outside the house, and when he saw that there was no one around, Jian Gao asked in a low voice: "Xiu, does Xiaochao still have the habit of writing a diary now?" ”
Wang Xiuli thought for a while and said, "It seems that I haven't written for a long time...... But? ”
"But what?" Jane Gao asked.
"However, when I went to his room last night, I saw a notebook in the small super drawer, which looked like it was new, and I didn't care." Wang Xiuli replied.
"Take me there?" After speaking, Jian Gao and Wang Xiuli went to Xiaochao's room.
Wang Xiuli took out the notebook in the drawer and handed it to Jian Gao. Jian Gao opened it and saw that it was really a diary, and the handwriting was indeed written by Xiao Chao. Jian Gao asked Wang Xiuli to go out first, he moved a chair and sat down, although it is not good to peek at other people's diaries, but now it is a special situation, so he can't worry so much, Jian Gao wants to see if he can find some clues in the diary.
This diary records the events of the past two months, which Xiao Chao began to write when he went to work in the mine.
Jian Gao carefully looked at each log.
There is not much substantive content in the diary of the previous month or so, most of them are new things that have just been encountered when I go to work in the mine, and then there are some things about the relationship between Xiaochao and Wang Xiuli, Jian Gao looked back until a diary at the beginning of this month caught his attention, and the original text of the diary is as follows:
November 20th sunny (with a small sun drawn in the back)
Today I was very confused, so I went back to the village after work in the evening, Xiu just left, I didn't tell her about it, I was afraid that she would be worried after she knew. Actually, I can't say that if I spread this story, my little life will be gone. Will I say yes or no? They give so much money? The money for getting married to Xiu next year is almost enough, but I'm also scared in my heart, I don't want to, I'll decide tomorrow.
Jian Gao looked at this diary with a somewhat confusing language, but there were also a few key points in it, the first was that Xiao Chao said that he didn't dare to tell Xiu what was the "matter"? It is written below that if Xiaochao does "this", he will get a lot of money, but this matter is also a very dangerous thing. It seems that the "incident" mentioned by Xiaochao must not be a good thing, and it is also related to life, and now it seems that this matter must be some illegal deeds.
Jian Gao closed his eyes, his thoughts turned quickly, what was going on? What can a small coal mine do that is illegal and can kill people?
There was really no clue, Jian Gao turned another page and continued to read, he looked at it like this, although this diary had fewer words, but it really frightened Jian Gao. The original text of the diary is as follows:
November 23 cloudy (a dark cloud is drawn in the back)
I promised them, and if I don't agree, my family and Xiu will suffer. It's only half a month, as long as I can survive, it's 50,000 yuan, for the show, fight!
Jian Gao quickly flipped through the two diaries, but there was no substance, until the twenty-sixth, the night before Xiao Chao's disappearance, Xiao Chao wrote the last diary. The original text of the diary is as follows:
November 26 was cloudy
I haven't slept for two nights, I don't know if I can sleep tonight, I'm going to go to the place they said tomorrow, tonight I told them that I regretted it a little and wanted to quit, they threatened me and said I could quit, and I would go back tomorrow to let me see Xiu's body, and the day after tomorrow it would be my parents. I know they can definitely do it, and now I'm really scared, what should I do? I want to run, but I can't! What am I going to do? What to do? What to do?
What about three in a row? Jian Gao, who saw it, was worried for a while, he hugged the notebook to his chest, and silently read in his heart: "What should I do now?" "This diary must be handed over to the Public Security Bureau, this is a major clue, the diary records show that Xiao Chao was really coerced by someone or a certain force group to do something illegal, and it should have been controlled now. Looking at the diary that Xiao Chao has not slept for several nights, it also shows that he has great psychological pressure and has been hovering in a dilemma, but in the end he still chose to protect his family.
Jian Gao thought that Xiao Chao's disappearance must be inseparable from the small coal mine, and it can be seen in the diary that Xiao Chao encountered this incident during the time he went to work in the mine, and this small coal mine suddenly closed down today, which also shows that there must be something wrong with the coal mine.
Jian Gao took the notebook and paced in the room with his hands behind his back, although his thoughts were a little chaotic, but Jian Gao was also trying to tidy up. Now it is a pity that there is not a complete clue and substantive content in the diary, it is all vague statements. But Jian Gao has a general understanding of the context of the whole thing.
A criminal organization controlled Han Xiaochao through unknown means, and forced Xiaochao to do something illegal, and promised to give Xiaochao a considerable reward, while threatening to kill Xiaochao's entire family if he didn't agree to do it or leak it.
After clearing his mind, a bold idea appeared in Jian Gao's heart, he had a plan, Jian Gao wanted to participate in finding out this matter himself. Thinking of this, he hid his diary in his clothes, and when he left the house, he went home first.
When he got home, he took out his digital camera in his bag, took pictures of all his diaries, and hurriedly charged the camera, because it was useful at night. After doing this, Jian Gao went out again, and he was going to notify his father to let Zhang send someone to take the diary, which would also be of great help to the police to solve the case.
When Jian Gao walked out of the door, he happened to meet his neighbor He Erleng and a few young people, and greeted him when he saw Jian Gao coming out.
"Suozhu, I heard from my aunt in the morning that more than ten of your chickens and ducks also died?" He Erleng asked.
After hearing this, Jian Gao also walked over and said, "Yes, second brother, isn't it, I don't know who is so lacking in virtue." ”
After listening to this, He Erleng also stood there angrily and scolded, and after scolding, he said to Jian Gao: "Our brother hasn't slept for a few nights, and he is going to catch this Wang Balamb, if I really let me catch it, see if I don't discount his legs." ”
After listening to He Erleng, Jian Gao hurriedly persuaded him and said: "You should arrest him, but you can't use force, if you catch him, you will send it directly to the police station, if you cripple him again, you have to accompany him for medical expenses, you can't do it!" ”
"This big reporter's consciousness is different, don't worry, the second brother is not a tiger, and if he catches me, he will scare and scare him." He Erleng said with a smirk.
Jian Gao gossiped with them for a while, then got up and went to Xiaochao's house.
In the afternoon, Zhang sent a police officer to take the diary, and another phone call from Jian Gao called him to express his gratitude, and said that he would apply for a search warrant today and search the small coal mine tomorrow. Jian Gao asked if he could come this afternoon, he was afraid that something would change later. However, the small coal mine that Zhang said was also seized by state organs, and it was a bit inappropriate to search without a search warrant, and it would be difficult for the people in the coal mine to catch the words, so he had to wait until the search warrant came down.
After Jian Gao and Zhang finished talking on the phone, he knew that he had to investigate according to his plan. Jian Gao came home, looked at the watch It was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Gao took off his shoes and fell asleep on the kang, he wanted to nourish his spirit, this night he was the same as He Erleng and them, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep all night.
During dinner, his mother woke Jian Gao up, and during dinner, Jian Gao drank some liquor with his father. After eating, Jian Gao secretly filled a small bottle of liquor in a small bottle. After that, Jane Gao went back to his room. Originally, Jian Gao used his mobile phone to set a vibrating alarm and wanted to sleep for a while, but at this time, he couldn't sleep.
Lying on the bed, Jian Gao's eyes were wide and full of energy, he looked at the time on his phone, it was only eleven o'clock, and there was still more than an hour according to Jian Gao's departure time.
He was thinking nonsense again, he was wondering if Xiao Chao was still alive now, whether he was ......
At this time, Jian Gao suddenly remembered something else, and he sat up suddenly.
In the past two days, Jian Gao's heart was full of Xiao Chao's disappearance, and at this time, Jian Gao suddenly remembered the slaughter of poultry in the morning, when he and his father analyzed that it was artificial, and Jian Gao also judged that it should be done by a "madman". But now Jian Gao suddenly remembered the "monster" that suddenly popped out of the village when his father went to pick him up the day before yesterday.
The monster was not his own imagination, and my father saw it at the time, but the father and son didn't get out of the car at that time, in fact, they didn't dare to get out of the car, so they didn't see the footprints left on the snow, and if they got out of the car to check the footprints at that time, they could be compared with the footprints of slaughtering poultry.
If the slaughter of poultry was really the work of that "monster", which is really terrible, then what kind of monster is it? Is this monster still roaming around the village? Can you meet this monster in your own actions at night? Is Xiao Chao's disappearance ......
It was almost twelve o'clock, and Jian Gao quietly went out to the cabinet in the outhouse, raised his foot and groped for the top of the cabinet with his hands, and after a while he touched something. He gently took it off and went back to his room.
This is a long object wrapped in cloth, and it is also my father's baby, as long as Jian Gao secretly takes this thing from childhood to adulthood, he will be "beaten" by his father every time.
In fact, this is a military thorn with a cowhide jacket on the outside. It was brought back by my father when he was young when he returned from the army. The current army will never be able to bring back this kind of thing, so my father has always treasured it like a treasure. The steel mouth of this military thorn is very good, and after so many years, sometimes my father occasionally takes it out and rubs it with oil, so it is still shiny and cold.
When the time came, Jane Gao put on his father's big leather jacket, carried a digital camera inside, and carried a flashlight in one hand and a military thorn in the other to start his action tonight.
