Summary: The Elves' Daily Love
Chapter 473 Shen Qingzhu (16)
The bar owner was nervous and, accompanied by official personnel, went to the office to get a remote control key.
"This is the key to the cellar." The bar owner handed the key to Zhang Zhengting.
This key is about the same size as a car key, and the buttons on it are also very simple, on and off.
Zhang Zhengting pressed the "Open" button, and the floor suddenly shrank downwards, revealing a dark hole, and the aroma of wine gradually spread outwards.
The bar owner smiled and said, "Well, the light switch is downstairs. How about I turn it on for you guys first?"
"That's not necessary." Zhang Zhengting said, "Just point out the location to me."
The bar owner nodded repeatedly and walked cautiously to Zhang Zhengting. When he saw that he didn't respond, he raised his arm and pointed to the dark underground wine cellar.
“The light switch is right there.”
Zhang Zhengting stood next to the bar owner and followed his gaze: "Where?"
"Right here, right here—!"
The bar owner ducked down and let himself fall into the cellar.
Zhang Zhengting reacted quickly and jumped down quickly, but there was no sound in the cellar.
"That man ran away!"
Zhang Zhengting shouted with some anger, and then the light below suddenly lit up.
"This wine cellar is quite large. Send some people to search it. Be careful."
Several figures went down into the wine cellar one after another.
Yunci also fell down, and the smell in the air became stronger, and it was a very familiar smell.
She had a rough guess in her mind.
"Brother Zhang." Yun Ci walked to Zhang Zhengting and said in a low voice, "I smell the stench of a corpse."
Zhang Zhengting frowned slightly: "Can you find the source?"
Yun Ci nodded and took Zhang Zhengting to the wall where the smell was the strongest: "There should be more space behind this."
Zhang Zhengting put his ear to the wall, clenched his right hand into a fist, and knocked on the wall.
"Knock knock—"
Zhang Zhengting stood up straight abruptly: "There's someone inside!"
He turned around and wanted to pull Yun Ci back a little to check the situation, but he saw that Yun Ci had already walked to the wine barrel rack next to him and was groping on the wooden shelf.
'Click——'
The wall that had been well integrated suddenly opened a door, and a small figure whose clothes looked valuable but tattered and dirty fell directly to the ground.
The figure looked less than one meter tall. After falling to the ground, he let out a muffled groan, but his hands were habitually patting the ground.
Zhang Zhengting quickly approached and picked up the child.
The child's face was quite clean, as if it had been wiped intentionally.
Zhang Zhengting recognized at a glance that this was a child from an ordinary family who had disappeared a month ago.
As for why he remembered it so clearly, it was because the child had accidentally activated the Forbidden Ruins before he disappeared.
Although the level of the Forbidden Ruins Sequence is not high, if it is trained well, it will become a pillar of Daxia in the future.
Yun Ci, who had learned some medical skills on purpose, quickly approached, not caring about the dirt on the child's body, and raised her hand to press on his wrist.
"There's nothing wrong with his body, no obvious injuries. The biggest problem is malnutrition. He probably hasn't eaten for a long time."
Yun Ci's gaze shifted to the wall, where several figures were lying crowded together.
They were motionless, as if unconscious.
On the other side, there were several bodies of children with dried blood on them and some insects crawling around them. It was obvious that they had been abandoned here for quite some time.
Zhang Zhengting frowned and asked the cooperating official to take the child away for a more detailed examination, and then he walked into the dark room where the child was imprisoned.
“These are the children who have been missing in the past six months.”
Yun Ci was surprised and asked, "Are they all from the capital?"
Zhang Zhengting shook his head: "Only the child we just sent away is from Beijing. The rest are from other cities. I saw this information through the shared channel."
The youngest of these children is five years old and the oldest is only eight years old.
But their lives will always be frozen at this age and they will no longer grow.
The official cooperation personnel moved back and forth, but such a big commotion could not be concealed from the people nearby. Soon, a piece of news about "a large-scale child trafficking case was cracked" appeared on the TV news in Shangjing City.
As for the bar owner who tried to escape, he hid among the pile of corpses in the dark room and was captured directly by Zhang Zhengting.
When returning to the team courtyard, Zhang Zhengting said with great emotion: "I had long guessed that he would not be honest, but I didn't expect him to be so useless. I thought I could follow him to find out some traces of the Ancient God Church."
Yun Ci, who had already seen the clues, was surprised: "So, Brother Zhang, you deliberately let that person jump into the wine cellar?"
"Of course. I'm an old night watchman. I won't make the mistake of letting a suspect escape!"
"Brother Zhang's acting skills are really amazing. Even if he doesn't work as a night watchman in the future, he might be able to join the entertainment industry."
Not a night watchman?
Zhang Zhengting had never thought of such a possibility.
In today's world, how can it be solved so quickly?
There are the Ancient God Church and mysterious chaos inside, and there is fog outside, as well as foreign gods watching covetously.
Until these problems are resolved, they will not withdraw from the Night Watch, even if they die in battle.
But Zhang Zhengting did not transmit his slightly pessimistic thoughts to Yun Ci. He just asked: "If you don't work as a night watchman in the future, what do you want to do?"
Yun Ci thought about it seriously, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't have any big ambitions. Maybe I will go back to the orphanage and help the director take care of the children, or maybe I will continue to farm and expand the scale of my planting..."
The two chatted about the careers they could pursue after leaving the Night Watch and returned to the 006 team base.
Today they did not find any information related to the Ancient God Church.
After interrogation, it was found that the bar owner was not an important figure in the Ancient God Church. He was just helping the Ancient God Church to recruit some talented children.
"——If they are favored by the adults of the Ancient God Church, those children will be taken away and trained, and the seeds of loyalty to the Ancient God Church will be planted from a young age."
Following the clue of the bar owner, they found several subordinates, and joined forces with local night watchmen and official organizations to carry out a siege. After a week, they finally solved the problem.
As for the bar owner's online——
"——I don't know who that gentleman is. He has never revealed his true appearance to me, but he is very generous. Every time I am chosen, I get a generous reward."
Can't find the online.
Those children who were taken away could not be rescued.
In Shangjing City, all traces of the Ancient God Church disappeared completely.
Afterwards, when it came to matters related to human trafficking, the night watchman withdrew and no longer participated.
However, on the same night that the Night Watch team left completely, the bar owner was found dead in the interrogation room.
His death was very tragic, with blood splattered almost all over the wall.
But his remains were smiling...
