Bamboo Horse Office

Qian Qiushi's home is in the county town of the next province. His father owns a hardware grocery store, and his mother is a factory worker. Judging from the living standard here, it is not considered rich, but it has surpassed a large number of people.

Yu An didn't know the exact address of Qian Qiushi's hometown, but she only heard her mention that the grocery store at home was very easy to find on XX Street.At that time, she hadn't broken up with her family yet, so she originally wanted to invite Yu An over to have fun, but after considering the situation of her own family, she was afraid that her parents might misunderstand what would cause Yu An trouble, so she gave up on the plan.

This time, Yu An was driving, and Jiang Nian was resting in the co-pilot.

With permission, Jiang Nian read the original chat records between Yu An and Qian Qiushi, and found that Qian Qiushi's dislike for the family was gradually deepening. At first, she tried to communicate with her parents, but the communication failed. Then, under the various coquettish operations of her parents, her emotions slowly reached a critical value, until she broke out completely after being stalked.

Qian Qiushi also jokingly said to Yu An that if she died outside one day, her parents might find someone to kill her.After all, they think she is ashamed. In their eyes, if the child can't be an obedient puppet, then her existence is meaningless.

This message caught Jiang Nian's attention.

For such parents who have a strong desire to control and have no way to communicate, can they really do nothing and let their daughter run away from home?

Qian Qiushi's disappearance is too strange, the other party has not been in touch with relatives, obviously not asking for a ransom.Could it be that the enemy is seeking revenge?However, this idea was rejected by Jiang Nian as soon as it appeared.

According to what he knows now, Qianqiushi hardly ever goes out, spends a lot of time on code words every day, and rarely even plays social software. It is very difficult for such a person to have enemies, especially Not to mention this kind of deep hatred involving reality kidnapping.

The remaining situation is the direction of the police's previous deduction, forcibly kidnapping and trafficking people.

But this inference also has a big problem, that is, there is no need for the other party to continue to choose the same target at the risk of revealing their identity if they are discovered, or even come to kidnap them.

Except for mental illness, human behavior has a purpose, but Jiang Nian has never guessed the purpose of this group of kidnappers. If he can find out their purpose, maybe he can find out Qian Qiushi's whereabouts.

While thinking about it, they had arrived at Qianqiushi's hometown.

Yu An re-adjusted the navigation, followed the above route to her family's hardware grocery store.

This shop has a small front, and the inside of the house is like a long and thin corridor. There are shelves on the walls on both sides, filled with all kinds of hardware and hardware. The counter is at the innermost part of the room. There is no one at this time. The person looking at the counter The little brother was playing games with his mobile phone there.

"Hello, what do you want to buy?" The guy at the counter mistook them for customers, so he quickly put down his phone and greeted them.

"We don't buy anything, we want to ask you about someone." Yu An claimed to be a friend of the boss's daughter and wanted to meet the boss.

The guy at the counter knew something about the boss's house, so he called Qiu's father to confirm. The other party immediately yelled and scolded him when he heard someone came, thinking it was the police who came over a while ago.But the younger brother helped to explain, and Qiu's father suppressed his anger, hesitated for a moment, didn't know the reason, and finally just said to let them wait here, and come over by himself later.

After hanging up the phone, the guy at the counter took out two plastic stools and told them to sit and wait.

"How is Xiaoqiu?" He asked, "The police came to find the boss a few days ago. They were chatting upstairs, and I didn't hear it clearly. It's just an investigation, kidnapping, etc., she can't be in an accident. right?"

Yu An was also not sure what this person should be. He didn't know whether to say something, so he looked at Jiang Nian for help.

"Yes, I was kidnapped." Jiang Nian answered his question very calmly.

After all, the police had already been here, and they might come again in the future. This person also had a certain understanding of this, and there was no need to hide the fact that he was kidnapped.

Hearing the other party's answer, the boy at the counter turned off the game casually, sighed and leaned back on the chair.

"Are you familiar with her?" Jiang Nian asked.

"I'm not too familiar, is my boss's daughter? I've met him a few times." The guy at the counter didn't think about it. He just thought that these two friends could still run away if she was kidnapped. After a trip, it was considered intentional, and gradually opened up the chatterbox.

"Honestly, I've never seen someone with such a strong desire to control as my boss. What age do you say it is now? The Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than 100 years, and the couple still live like the old society."

Yu An laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will find out if you complain about the boss behind your back?"

"Not afraid." The younger brother replied calmly, "Anyway, I will resign at the end of this month, I am afraid of him."

He looked at the two of them again, "Since you are her friends, I'll tell you something again." Then, he leaned forward slowly, and his voice lowered a lot, as if he wanted to tell a secret Like, "Xiaoqiu didn't want to find a partner, so her parents forced her to look for one. One day I was working downstairs, but the boss lady came over, and they whispered for a while upstairs. Guess what they want what?"

The boy at the counter lowered his voice a little more, and without waiting for the other party's reaction, he continued: "The two of them wanted to find someone suitable to do something to Xiao Qiu, and they felt that after that, Xiao Qiu would have to follow him if he didn't. Are you saying that this is something that humans can do?!"

Even he felt sick while talking, let alone Yu An and the others.

"I wanted to remind Xiaoqiu, but I don't know where her home is or how to contact her, so I can't help it. Later, my boss was in a bad mood every time he came over, and he was cursing, so I asked around. Ask, and then I realized that it was screwed up, and I was kind of happy."

"But later, Xiaoqiu ran away from home. It was good at first, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again. Alas..."

"You said it couldn't be the two of them who kidnapped Xiaoqiu." After finishing speaking, the boy at the counter seemed to think that his idea was too nonsense, so he smiled and skipped the topic.

Half an hour later, Father Qiu came to the grocery store.

He was wearing a blue overalls, as if he had just returned from work somewhere, and his triangular eyes looked gloomy, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"It's you two?"

This person doesn't look very easy to provoke, or maybe he is used to domineering at home, and his tone of voice is very arrogant, but Jiang Nian has never been afraid of this kind of thing.To deal with this kind of person, he pretends to be ruthless with you, and it's over if you are more ruthless than him.

"Go upstairs and talk." Jiang Nian took Yu An up to the attic on the second floor after saying this.

Qiu's father was speechless for a moment, but this was his territory after all, and he didn't believe that these two tall, thin young men could make any trouble.

The layout on the second floor is very simple. It seems that it is only a resting place for shopkeepers. The trash can was filled with all kinds of leaflets.

"Are you her friends?" After following up to the second floor, Qiu's father looked at them inquiringly, "Which one is her boyfriend?"

"Not at all!" Yu An was so angry that his stomach hurt, he knew he shouldn't be so emotional, but facing this kind of person, he really couldn't adjust his mentality in a short time.

He was afraid that he would scold people directly in the next sentence. Jiang Nian had a better mentality than him. Originally, he wanted Jiang Nian to ask about the situation, but when he looked at the other party, he received a hint in his eyes.

This was an agreement the two of them made a long time ago, and what Jiang Nian meant was for him to continue dealing with Qiu's father.

It was impossible for Jiang Nian not to see how much his mood fluctuated. If he was allowed to take the lead in this way, it was likely that Jiang Nian had discovered something.Thinking of this, Yu An took a deep breath. Although he looked angry at first glance, he was not as irritable as before.

"We are just her ordinary friends, she disappeared, we just..."

"Get lost!" Upon hearing that they were just ordinary friends, Qiu's father immediately began to chase him away, "Fucking waste of my time!"

"Don't you care if your daughter is missing?!"

"Care about me! I raised that little bastard for so many years for nothing, fed her and clothed her, and dared to play with me and run away from home? Heh, let her go as far as I want! I just pretended she was dead and never gave birth to her!"

"Just because she doesn't want a boyfriend and doesn't want to get married?"

"How dare you say that? Damn! Did I raise her so big that she would embarrass me?! Raising her is worse than raising a dog. Anyway, a dog can be slaughtered and eaten, what about her?! Do you know?" What the neighbors say, that she is sick and that she does a shameful job, I have lost all my face!"

At this time, Yu An's weakness was completely displayed. He really wanted to swear, but he could only swear, no matter how dirty he was, he couldn't say it.

Father Qiu came here today because when he heard the boy at the counter say that two men came to look for Qian Qiu, he thought she had a boyfriend. If he knew that they had nothing to do with her, he wouldn't have come here at all.

Yu An was so angry that he and Jiang Nian returned to the car for a long time before recovering.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Nian didn't dare to let him drive, Yu An consciously sat in the co-pilot, and after waiting for a while, he found that Jiang Nian was driving on the expressway, "Shouldn't we check?"

"Check, but you don't need to stay here anymore."

"Then what clue did you find just now?"

"It's in my right pocket, take it out and have a look."

Yu An went to take out his pocket according to his words, but took out a neatly stacked small piece of paper from it, unfolded it, and it turned out to be a colorful leaflet.

"Cultural Education and Chinese Studies Hall?" Yu An fell into deep thought.
