After getting an answer similar to the former, Zhou Yan stood still and was silent.

Fortunately, his face, except for the paleness after the serious injury, was not much dignified, and it was somewhat reassuring.

It's just that this peace of mind is far from enough, especially for couples who have lost their children, and the expressions on their faces are even more urgent and uneasy.

All their joys, sorrows, and sorrows now are tied to Zhou Yan.

Finally, the woman who was the first to answer the question dared to speak: "Sir, where is our cow?" ”

Her voice trembled, five parts of fear, five parts of hope.

Niu Niu is the treasure of Wang Gui's family, another nickname for a lost boy.

With her at the head, another couple said eagerly in unison: "Our girl ......"

Niu Niu is naturally the nickname of the missing girl.

"And Bao'er!" Maybe he had already vented it, but Wang Gui's reaction didn't seem to be as good as theirs, but he unexpectedly became the last one.

Not only the three of them, but everyone present looked at Zhou Yan together, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Yan seems to have become the protagonist of tonight, Xiao Yu quickly changed, and the limelight even overshadowed Li County.

According to the normal plot, he should immediately point out the whereabouts of the three missing children, but he shook his head slowly and spit out something that no one expected: "I don't know either." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed: Is this making fun of them?

Look at what he said before, and he asked several questions in a hurry, but he could only squeeze out such five words?

The villagers were disappointed.

There are also some people with active brains, and they are even rejoicing that the disappearance of the three children has become a good thing.

With such a quick catch, how can they believe that the government can protect themselves?

Now it seems that if the children were really taken captive by the evil people who asked for sacrifices, does it mean that they no longer need to perform live sacrifices, and the crisis in Hosoyanagi Village has passed?

And the three couples who lost their children, their expressions changed, from their original expectations to despair, and there was a faint hatred, and their eyes stared at Zhou Yan with resentment.

Of course, there is hate, and if you give hope and beat it back to the bottom with a stick, anyone will hate.

Of course, Zhou Yan was not playing tricks with evil taste, seeing that the hearts of the people were behind his back, he held his hands weakly, and sent a reassuring pill in a warm voice: "You guys get up first, although I don't know, but I can be sure that your children will be safe and sound now, and it won't take two days to return safely." ”

There was unquestionable certainty in his voice.

It's just that the disappointment brought by the previous sentence was too deep, and the three couples all looked at him with suspicious eyes, and then looked at Li Xian, still kneeling motionless.

Li Xian had unconditional trust in Zhou Yan at this time, and immediately stroked his long beard to stand for him: "Zhou Yan naturally has his reason for saying this, you should get up first." ”

Many times, people are more willing to believe in authority, and now that there is a platform for Li County, the three families are a little relieved, and they will stand up with suspicion.

Therefore, in life, it is best to have a backstage, so that the words are more credible.

"It's just that Zhou Yan ......" trust is true, but Li Xian knows that if he wants to convince the public, he has to come up with some real evidence, so he pinched his beard and muttered, "Where does the basis for what you say come from?" ”

Hearing this, the others looked at Zhou Yan together, and at the moment, even the county magistrate seemed to rely on this young little catcher.

The torches were almost burned out, the firelight was gradually dimming, and Zhou Yan's figure appeared and disappeared in the night, and there was an indescribable sense of mystery.

Zhou Yan once again became the focus of the audience, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say." ”

Without waiting for the crowd to be in an uproar, he took the initiative to explain: "I'm afraid that if I say it, Niuniu and they may not be able to come back." ”

As he spoke, he slowly swept over the three couples with extremely serious eyes.

Perhaps infected by his sincere attitude, the faces of these parents who lost their children softened slightly.

Immediately showed a worried look, Niu Niu Niang said worriedly: "My lord, is what you said true?" ”

She was very entangled at the moment, not only wanting to know where Niu Niu was immediately, but also afraid that asking too many questions would harm her son.

At the same time, I can't understand what kind of situation it is, once I say it, it will affect the life of my baby Niuniu.

"Absolutely." Zhou Yan finally understood the truth that it is difficult to do at the grassroots level, especially when trust has not yet been established, it is extremely difficult to win the trust of others.

But he still has a solid backing: Li County.

After his expression was earnest and his words were earnest, Li County came forward to guarantee that the situation was finally stabilized.

"You will go to a relative's house for two days as if you were your own children, and when the time comes, you will surely return to you. If something happens, I'll see you. In the end, Zhou Yan patted his chest and said.

At the cost of gambling on the head, the villagers were finally satisfied and dispersed one after another.

Zhou Yan had an inexplicable illusion: maybe they had taken a fancy to their own head from the beginning.

When the county officials returned to the Longwang Temple where they were encamped, it was already dawn.

"Zhou Yan, can you really be sure that those three children will be safe and sound?" Li County didn't know whether he cared about children, Zhou Yan, or both.

He was actually a little ashamed, and even felt that he had been a county magistrate for so many years in vain.

Otherwise, why is the same clue, the other party, who has not been in the industry for a long time, seems to have deduced more things than himself?

"Hmm." Zhou Yan nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Li County, don't you think this disappearance case is a little weird?" ”

"Spooky? Since it is a demon move, of course it is weird. Zhang Zhong was probably unwilling to be lonely, and jumped out to brush his sense of existence.

"Brother Zhang, we don't know if we can stop talking." Li Xian didn't put up any shelves, and Zhou Yan was naturally not so restrained when he spoke, and joked angrily.

Immediately caused the other colleagues to laugh together.

Zhang Chong couldn't hold his face when he said it, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Do you know what you said?" ”

Zhou Yan chuckled, and Shi Shiran asked, "Didn't you notice that you lost three children?" ”

I don't know if it's because Zhang Zhong is stupid, or if his words don't have the transparency of Daigo's empowerment, the other party's fierce face is still a little confused, "Is there a difference between two and three?" ”

Zhou Yan finally determined that he had been in the Fengyue place all the year round, and Brother Zhang had a little brain.

As a Confucian gentleman, Li Xian is much smarter, and his eyes immediately lit up and said: "It is indeed extremely abnormal." ”

In this world, there are finally many smart people, Zhou Yan is happy.

Previously, he almost felt that he had an aura of reducing intelligence, otherwise no one would have been able to figure out such a simple truth.

"What do you mean......" Li Xian frowned, and it was only then that he understood why the other party dared to speak out.

Zhou Yan made a silent gesture, "The time has not come, you have to wait for the fish to surface by themselves." ”
