Although Mantelanca is the earliest industrial city in the UK, it has now developed a slow life that pays great attention to pleasure.

Gu Tingbei and Luo Qingchen got off the plane, and before they even had time to take a look at the beautiful scenery in front of them, they rushed to the suburbs in a hurry.

That's right, that family is not in Mantelanca now, but on the edge of a remote city.

There is always an ominous premonition in my heart, thinking that if I go late, I will miss something?
The two arrived at their destination in the arranged car.

In front of me was a very dilapidated log cabin, the outer wall of the log cabin was mottled and mottled, it didn't look like someone wanted to live in it, but the smoke from the chimney showed that there were people living here.

Luo Qingchen stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Hello, is anyone there?"

There was no response inside, Luo Qingchen asked again: Hello, is anyone there? "

At this time, the door opened with a creak, and a pair of timid eyes looked at Luo Qingchen, asking questions in English with a very strong accent.

But the boy's dialect even made Luo Qingchen a little unclear what he was talking about?
"You, who are you?"

Luo Qingchen kindly explained his reason for coming, but the boy shook his head: "No, it can't be done."

"why not?"

"That person said, as long as we dare to say a word, we will all die without a place to die." The child stammered.

"Don't worry, he won't let you die without a burial, I will protect you."

"It was also said last time that someone was protecting us, but in the end we still came to Manteranka."

"Don't worry, I really will."

Seeing that Luo Qingchen couldn't explain it.Gu Tingbei came forward in person: "Don't worry, we won't deceive you. If you don't believe us, you can report to that person. We have been here."

"Wait a while." The child said, the door of the wooden house was closed again, and after waiting for about 5 minutes, the door opened again: "Come in."

As he spoke, the little boy stretched out his head to see if anyone was watching him outside the house.

The inside of this house is the same as the outside, and the dilapidation makes people feel distressed.

The light in the room was dim, and a tattered blanket of invisible color was spread on the floor, with a pile of books as tall as a person on it.

Lying on the bed was a frail woman with a "ho ho" sound coming from her throat.

"This is my mother." The child introduced, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"What about your eldest sister?"

The word "big sister" made the child's face change, and he swallowed: "big sister passed away three years ago, so."

"But I checked, and there is no certificate of cancellation of his death." Luo Qingchen raised his eyebrows and said.

"How dare we go to the city now, as soon as we enter the city, that person will come and catch us, so now we can only hide."

But this reason did not convince Luo Qingchen, she glanced at Gu Tingbei: "During the census, you should also apply for a death certificate, tell me, where did you hide your eldest daughter?"

At this time, the woman on the bed spoke, her voice was very weak, and she stammered: "Little, little Jack, tell them!"

It turned out that the child was called Little Jack, and Luo Qingchen couldn't help but look at Little Jack again.

It was very dark in the house, only Little Jack's eyes were shining, so Luo Qingchen didn't care about his appearance, now looking closely, he is also a very good-looking boy.

Seeing that his mother had spoken, Little Jack nodded: "Since my mother has said it, let me tell you the truth, the eldest sister is not here, we are here."

"What? Your eldest sister isn't here?" Gu Tingbei looked at the boy, a little disappointed.

"Yes, my eldest sister went to another county, because that person has been chasing and killing our family. In order not to implicate us, she separated from us." Little Jack didn't look like he was lying.

"Then now?"

"Now I live with my mother, and I usually rely on handyman to make ends meet. My mother has been sick for the past two days, so I haven't gone out."

"Then do you know where your sister is now?"

"I don't know. My sister has been missing since then. We have never seen her again, and she has never contacted her family. If you see my sister, please send us a word."

Little Jack said and looked at his mother.

The woman on the bed reluctantly got up and leaned against the bed: "Sir, miss, if you see Tina, please tell her, the family misses her very much, let her come back quickly! We won't blame her, this It's not her fault."

Luo Qingchen nodded: "Okay, I will bring them."

The two were about to leave, Luo Qingchen frowned tightly, if this happened, the clues would be cut off, so where can I find this missing victim?

Gu Tingbei opened the door: "Then we won't bother you, if there is any news, I will send it."

The two of them hadn't taken two steps when they went out, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, followed by hurried steps.

This time Gu Tingbei didn't care about being polite, he kicked open the door of the cabin and hid in.

Little Jack was very surprised to see the two of them back again: "What are you doing back?"

"Come back and take refuge." Before Little Jack could react, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Quick, they have found this house, we must catch them."

"Yes."

The footsteps outside the door sounded like there were quite a few people.

Luo Qingchen glanced at Little Jack: "Would you like us to hide here for a while? We will find your sister soon."

Little Jack nodded: "You guys hide here." He lifted a floor and said, "You can go in, I won't betray you."

Luo Qingchen got in without saying a word, and then Gu Tingbei followed.

The small wooden door was knocked open again, and several tall and strong men in suits said fiercely: "Stinky boy, have you seen a man and a woman?"

Little Jack shook his head: "I didn't see it, I was taking care of my mother just now."

"Nonsense! I saw them come in!" The big man frowned and shouted.

"It's really not there. If you don't believe me, you can search." Jack timidly leaned over to Mother Wang.

Suddenly, the woman sitting on the bed coughed violently, and Little Jack screamed and rushed forward: "Mom, are you okay?"

The woman shook her head and gave him a comforting smile: "I'm fine."

She glanced at the big men in front of her: "Sirs, what's going on with Little Jack?"

"Mom, don't worry about it, I'm here to ask for directions." As he spoke, Little Jack looked at these vicious men who barged in: "Please get out, it's very impolite for you to barge in like this, be careful, I'll call the police .”
