Two days later, Cai Yun Province, Minh Moon City Airport.

The airport terminal, which looks like a wild goose spreading its wings, shines golden in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At sunset, a flight from Zhongzhou landed.

Cao Mingliang wore sunglasses and a duffel bag and went straight to the parking lot.

Zhang Donglei, who was dressed in civilian clothes, had been waiting for him here for more than an hour.

As soon as the two met, Zhang Donglei took the initiative to take over the luggage in Cao Mingming's hand, "Team Cao, if there is anything you can tell directly, what are you doing here?" ”

Cao Mingliang opened the car door, got into the car, and said, "I'm going to the scene to see what kind of environment has cultivated such a No. 1 person." ”

When he said this, all that came to Cao Mingliang's mind was Yang Ning's appearance.

There is also the scene of the evil ghosts driving people crawling in broad daylight on Qingyu Mountain that day.

Zhang Donglei sat in the driver's seat, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Cao Mingming, "I'll drive, you take your time, I'll probably give you a brief description of what we found." ”

"Okay."

When the car left the airport, Zhang Donglei said while driving: "That's right, through the diary found in Zhang Hui's villa, we found out that the person who bought Yang Ning in the first place, surnamed Zhou, is called Zhou Ye." ”

"This Zhou Ye seems to be a little abnormal in his brain, and we have compiled all the information of Zhang Hui's criminal group."

"Zhang Hui and his subordinates called this Zhou Ye 'Zhou Maniac' and 'Old Maniac'."

"Among the records that can be found, Zhou Maniac has bought a total of no less than 100 children from Zhang Hui, all of whom are between the ages of five and seven."

"It can be said that Zhou Maniac is not a big customer of Zhang Hui Group, but he is definitely the most stable customer of Zhang Hui Group!"

At this time, Cao Mingliang, who looked down at the documents in his hand, picked up a black and white photo and asked, "What does this madman do this week?" Where did he get the money? ”

Zhang Donglei was speechless for a while, "We don't know much about this." ”

"The people we asked said he was rich, but no one could explain where he got his money."

The photo shows an old man with a strained face and a somewhat fierce look, standing in front of a stone tablet, staring viciously at the camera.

There are two words written on the stele: Qingqiao.

This is the second time Cao Mingliang has heard this place name.

For the first time, he had just been resurrected from the dead, and he had heard it from the mouth of the scarred male colleague in his special management bureau.

"Qingqiao, where is this place?"

Zhang Donglei sighed: "This place is very remote, there is no traffic, you have to ride a horse over, the Lei team just fell off the horse, and now they are still lying in the hospital." ”

"And I have a high fever that doesn't go away."

Cao Mingliang frowned and said, "Fell off the horse and had a fever?" ”

Zhang Donglei nodded and said, "Yes, it's a bit of an evil ......."

Saying that, Zhang Donglei was a little inclined to say something.

Cao Mingming, who has a keen sense of the five senses, captured this, "If you want to say it, you can say it." ”

Zhang Donglei hesitated and said, "Team Cao...... Don't you know this place in Qingqiao? ”

Cao Mingliang heard the meaning of Zhang Donglei's words, and he asked rhetorically, "Why do I want to know about this place?" ”

Zhang Donglei hesitated: "Team Lei heard a message from an old lady, about ten years ago, your unit once carried out a mission in Qingqiao. ”

Cao Mingming's eyelids jumped suddenly, "And then?!" ”

He had wanted to check the information of the Special Administration's previous missions, but his authority was insufficient.

Zhang Donglei's tone suddenly became a little low, "Then, the task was not very smooth. ”

Cao Mingliang was silent for a moment, and he understood what this sentence "not very smooth" meant.

It means bloodshed and sacrifice that has not been exchanged for value.

Zhang Donglei continued: "That is, since that year, Madman Zhou has never been out of Qingqiao. ”

"Ten years ago? At that time, how old was Yang Ning? Cao Mingliang picked up Yang Ning's information in his hand and looked at it, and Zhang Donglei in front said: "Seven years old, Yang Ning was abducted at the age of five, and he was bought by Zhou Maniac when he was abducted." ”

Cao Mingliang closed his eyes and was silent.

He seems to have captured a bit of useful information.

......

Central Plains Province, the provincial capital of Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou is west of Los Angeles, east of Liangcheng.

Liangcheng is a tourist city, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, the former imperial city, and the distance from Zhongzhou is very close, half an hour's drive away.

At this time, it was the last moment before dark, inside and outside the ancient city wall of Liangcheng, those who got off work got off work, those who enjoyed the coolness, and those who walked the bends.

There used to be a lake in the center of the city of Liangcheng, but recently, for some reason, the city has let people drain the lake, and the lake has become a big mud pit.

It is said that on the first day the lake was drained, four ancient coffins were found at the bottom of the lake.

But at dawn the next day, the four coffins disappeared.

At this time, the night has not yet fallen, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians who have just gotten off work by the lake.

An aunt of about fifty years old, carrying a bag of celery, looked panicked and walked on the edge of a mud puddle where there was no lake water.

She had been circling the puddle since the afternoon, first three times on time and then three times against the clock.

After a total of six laps, the aunt carried celery to the southwest corner of the mud pit and bowed three times to a stone statue of an ancient person only about half a meter high.

Then she placed the celery in front of the stone statue and walked to the ancient city wall behind the stone statue herself.

Click-

There was a soft sound, and a crack suddenly opened in the city wall in front of the aunt.

Seeing this, the aunt seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, and quickly walked into it.

Inside the city wall was a staircase that went down, and there were torches lit on the walls, and the aunt walked carefully inside, following the direction of the torches to a dark room.

In the shadow of the underground staircase, a dwarf less than half a meter tall and extremely ugly in appearance stepped out.

He opened his mouth to show a mouthful of yellow-brown teeth, and said, "When you go inside, just say your request, just keep your head down, don't look around, if you see something, don't panic, don't shout, otherwise, the adults will be unhappy." ”

Auntie said a little stunned: "Last time, last time Sister Qi brought me here, you, didn't you say that?" The time you said that, the adults liked to hear us scream......"

A hint of anger appeared on the dwarf's face: "This time, that time!" The lake on the ground hasn't dried up yet! ”

"The adults weren't sent last time—"

Halfway through the dwarf's words, he glared at the aunt in front of him and said, "Anyway, the adults have been in a bad mood lately!" You remember what I'm saying! It's time to go in! ”

There was a sound of moving masonry and stone, and the stone door of the dark room in front of the aunt opened.

The smell of dampness, rancidity, and musty hits the face.

There are four quaint coffins in the stone room, and in front of the coffin, a futon is placed.

The aunt took several deep breaths, cheered herself up, and said, "Don't be afraid, I can, I can!" ”

As she spoke, she shuddered and walked into the dark room.

As she entered, the sound of masonry moving sounded again, and the stone door of the dark room closed.

......

Zhongzhou, on Zhongliang Avenue leading to Liangcheng.

Chen Tao drove the car and looked at Yang Ning, who was sleeping in the back row, with an unhappy face.

Didn't you say that from today onwards, you won't let yourself have a headache because of him?

Why was he just transferred to Liangcheng, and he came up to take a ride?

He's also a master, the kind that can control people's life and death!

How do you talk like a fart?

Poof-

Suddenly, Chen Tao heard a sound of farting from the passenger seat, but there was no one in that seat at all.

......
