Chapter 32: The Search for Witnesses
Li Zhen followed the direction according to the location determined at that time, and after a period of twists and turns, Su Yu found that their vehicle had driven into an old-fashioned neighborhood that looked rather dilapidated.
The mottled walls and grassy corners are a testament to the age of the neighborhood.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Su Yu couldn't help frowning, her face full of doubts.
After seeing Su Yu's reaction, Li Zhen nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, yes."
As the car gradually stopped, the two got out of the car one after the other.
Su Yu didn't seem to say anything after Li Zhen, but in fact, he kept silently looking at everything around him.
"Li Zhen, have you noticed that there is something strange here?"
However, his eyes were full of only finding the person Lin Jin ordered to find, and he didn't notice anything wrong.
As they went deeper, the two finally settled in front of a rather dilapidated door.
Su Yu tentatively knocked on the door and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?" ”
There was no response inside.
"Are we in the wrong place, we haven't seen anyone all the way to this place."
When she said this, Su Yu was slightly stunned.
Then a strange thought came to mind.
Yes, there's not much in this neighborhood since they walked in.
"Do we really ...... Wrong! ”
Li Zhen apparently reacted after some self-doubt.
As far as the economic situation of City B is concerned, there should be a lot of people living in this grade of community, but the blame is that they haven't seen many people along the way.
"The number of residents in the vicinity has been deliberately cleaned up."
Su Yu calmly concluded with a calm expression.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of ping-pong inside.
This was followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"There's someone in there!"
Li Zhen was startled, and then tried to imagine the possibilities of things happening in his mind.
He began to pound violently against the rusty door in front of him, which blocked the truth.
Seeing that the gate was crumbling, Su Yu caught a sharp glimpse of a crowbar covered with ash on the ground beside him.
"I'll come."
The woman snapped the crowbar into the crack in the door that had been knocked out, and then used all her strength to break the crowbar in front of her.
With a few "clicks", the door opened.
There was a damp and dark smell, the house seemed to have not been repaired in a long time, and the clutter had accumulated in it almost to a shocking point.
Just as the two of them were looking for the source of the sound, the place not far from the house, which was covered with debris, was suddenly pushed up a few centimeters.
"There's movement under that pile of cardboard boxes!"
"Miss Su, I'll come! Your hand has hurt. ”
Seeing that Su Yu seemed to have lost her mind in this matter, Li Zhen hurriedly stopped her.
Su Yu was about to find that his hand had bled and peeled after using the crowbar vigorously just now, and the bright red was particularly dazzling on the snow.
"I'm fine."
As soon as the words fell, Su Yu walked over and helped Li Zhen move the pile of cardboard boxes together.
When the two of them sweated profusely and cleaned up the clutter in front of them, they came into view of a red paint door embedded in the ground.
Something hit the other side of the door.
"Is there anyone in there?"
Li Zhen asked tentatively.
I heard someone outside, and the movement of the other end of the struggle became louder and louder.
Su Yu squatted down to listen carefully, and the vague whimpering sound inside was a person.
"He seems to be crying out for help!"
She was forced to become more and more anxious by this movement, and before Li Zhen could react, Su Yu picked up the previous crowbar and slammed it into the lock on the ground door.
"Miss Su! We don't know what's in there, it's dangerous for you to do this! ”
Li Zhen was shocked by the power that burst from the smaller woman's body, and at the same time reminded her in a slightly flustered way.
If the boss knew that Miss Su had done such rough work and even injured her hand, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
"I'm fine!"
Just when Li Zhen wanted to go over to stop her, the slightly rusty lock was smashed open by Su Yu.
The room fell silent.
Li Zhen leaned over with a serious expression and opened the red door with extreme vigilance.
"Help, save me......"
A middle-aged woman with her hands and feet bound by chains was lying on the damp staircase in a slightly twisted position, her pale face showing weakness.
"You, you are! Aunt Lee! ”
Despite the fact that the woman was ragged and had messy hair.
But Li Zhen, who had witnessed Lin Jin seeing countless past photos, recognized almost immediately who the dying woman in front of him was.
"Is she the person Uncle Lin is looking for?"
"Yes. Miss Su, let's talk about the specific things when we go back to Lucheng. ”
"Okay."
Everything here was so rusty that Li Zhen found a way to break the chains on Aunt Li's feet and picked her up.
Just as the three of them were about to leave here, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps downstairs.
Su Yu was shocked, and hurriedly glanced out the window without a trace.
And this glance also made her heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
"That's someone from the Lin family."
As for why Su Yu was so sure, because she saw Lin Lin's face in that group of people.
Li Zhen and Aunt Li, who was holding him, also saw it, and the woman's smudged face flashed with horror, and then struggled like crazy.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late to go!"
But in the current situation, Li Zhen can't run fast at all with a person in his arms.
A bold thought swept through Su Yu's mind, and she glanced at the clutter in the room.
"You take Aunt Li to squat in that corner, quick."
Facing Su Yu's words, Li Zhen didn't know why.
When he wanted to ask more, he was slammed into a corner, and then he saw Su Yu constantly covering them with cardboard boxes and garbage.
"Miss Su, what are you going to do!"
Li Zhen was anxious and panicked, and it wasn't until his vision was completely black that he heard a somewhat trembling female voice outside.
"I'm going to lure them away."
Only then did he realize what decision this woman who had always been regarded as weak in his heart had made.
Almost when Li Zhen subconsciously wanted to stand up, Aunt Li, who was leaning on his side, suddenly grabbed his clothes tightly.
"Young Master......"
Aunt Li's gaze was obviously extinguished, but it just hit the depths of Li Zhen's heart.
Su Yu is important, but the boss ......
Just as Li Zhen was struggling with his thoughts, the voice of a woman gradually calming down suddenly came from outside.
"You must not make a noise, wait until the people of the main family are gone, and then find a way to contact Uncle Lin."
Then there was a running sound.
Li Zhen closed his eyes in the dark.
