Lin Xi was stunned, and Chu Muqing also paused slightly.

Facing a boy who was frantically kowtowing to them, Lin Xi immediately bent down and raised his hand to stop his movements.

Lin Xi helped him up and looked at the boy's face.

He looked really young, the greenness on his face hadn't faded, his face was completely pale, tears welled up from his eyes, and slid down his unclean cheeks.

He gives people the feeling that this child is beautiful even when he is crying.

He is such a handsome boy that even crying makes people feel unbearable.

However, such a boy was abducted to this village called Tongshao Village.

Lin Xi looked at him in silence and didn't speak. The narrow room was extremely stuffy, and the radiator was hot on the person's body, making people's minds messy.

"Who kidnapped you here?" Chu Muqing looked at the boy and asked, "Where are you from?"

"You... Are you asking about my hometown or..." The boy looked at her with pleading eyes, his voice was already dry and hoarse, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Can you take me out of here?"

"Of course." Chu Muqing looked into his eyes reassuringly, and at the same time said decisively, "We can also send you to the county police station to report the case."

On the other side, Lin Xi had already found him a bottle of mineral water.

"Drink some water first, and speak slowly." Lin Xi said to him, "You are safe here."

There was a two-dollar label on the mineral water bottle. The boy took it and said thank you gratefully. Then he unscrewed the bottle cap forcefully, raised his head and began to pour down his throat frantically.

His lips were dry and chapped, and he hadn't drunk water for many days.

Lin Xi guessed that he hadn't eaten for a long time, but she only saw a few bottles of mineral water in the small room of this hotel, and she didn't see bread that could satisfy his hunger at all.

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other. The room was completely quiet, except for the sound of the boy drinking water.

He drank the whole bottle of water in the fastest time, then held the empty water bottle in his hand, squeezed it nervously, and looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing.

The boy lowered his voice and said slowly: "My name is Han Qi. I am a freshman studying at the branch campus of Shanhe University of Finance and Economics in Qimao County."

Lin Xi had looked at the map before coming here. On the map, Qimao County was next to Dongguan County, both of which belonged to Shanhe Province. Qimao County was better developed than Dongguan County.

"Then how did you get kidnapped into this village?" Lin Xi asked, "Shouldn't the university be on vacation at this time? Who tricked you into coming here—"

Before she finished asking, Han Qi said: "My family's conditions are not good. If I don't want to go home for the New Year, I can go to a milk tea shop in Qimao County to work part-time. I can earn a lot of money next year by working a few more winter vacation jobs." A week ago, on the weekend, I left the dormitory and went to work in a milk tea shop. I got off work at [-] pm. When I left the milk tea shop, a man was handing out leaflets."

"He took the initiative to talk to me. He was a very young man with a hunchbacked back, talkative, and loved to laugh. He told me that he was from Dongguan County next door. He usually distributes leaflets here. He can earn 160 yuan a day. not together."

Lin Xi frowned and asked, "And then?"

"The salary of the milk tea shop is 15 yuan per hour, and there are restrictions on part-time jobs. You can only work for four hours a day. Considering this..."

Having said that, Han Qi lowered his head remorsefully, biting his lower lip tightly.

Lin Xi immediately understood that he believed in that man.

"I promised him, and he asked me to go to a construction site to find him tomorrow. He said he was temporarily living there, and the group leader would distribute leaflets to everyone there."

"But... when I arrived at the construction site at eight o'clock the next morning, as promised, he was the only one. And there were no workers on the construction site. It was an unfinished building. When I saw him looking at me, I saw When Li laughed, I knew I was being lied to."

Han Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xi: "He wouldn't let me leave, he said he would take me back and be his brother's wife."

"Did you not run away?"

"Run?" Han Qi smiled bitterly: "How can I have the ability to run?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Han Qi had already reached the age of university, and should have completed his differentiation. He is an Omega, and the physique of an Omega is generally very fragile.

"I was bound hand and foot by him like a fool, thrown into the trunk by him like a pig, and then dragged back to Dongguan Village, that place that eats people!"

Speaking of this, Han Qi's body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly, fearing and hating at the same time.

"What about after that?" Lin Xi asked.

"Afterwards, I was taken by that man to his house. There are four people in their family. Do you know Miss, when their parents saw me, what was the first thing his mother said to me?"

Lin Xi looked at him: "Huh?"

Han Qi's tears fell again, and he cried, "His mother said that this pig looks better than the one last time."

Lin Xi frowned more and more tightly: "So, when we were in the village today, the pig they pointed at meant that they ran away..."

"Yeah, they're talking about me." Han Qi opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face: "The people in their village, the pig they're talking about is me."

"They prepared the wedding in a very short time. I don't know if I was lucky. They starved me for four days and took away everything from me. I had no strength at all. If today Without that reporter coming to do the interview, I probably wouldn't have found the opportunity to escape."

Chu Muqing paused, then glanced at Lin Xi, and said, "I'm going out to do some shopping."

Lin Xi nodded: "Alright, remember to call Brother Guan to go with you."

Before Chu Muqing replied, Han Qi's eyes widened suddenly: "Are you also surnamed Guan?"

He looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing with vigilance and fear, not knowing whether to stay or run away again.

He's so tired, he's been starving for too long, and his brain is not working.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Xi immediately explained: "My name is Lin Xi, I am from the capital, and so is she. We are all from the capital, and you should be able to tell by the accent. My wife heard that you have been hungry for too long. , going out to buy you something to eat."

Han Qi's terrified eyes finally eased, he reacted for a while, and then said to Chu Muqing: "I'm sorry miss, I'm too scared, I shouldn't doubt you."

Chu Muqing's voice was very soft, and she shook her head: "It's okay."

She said, opened the door of the room and went out.

Seeing Han Qi opening the door, Lin Xi shrank her eyes. She walked to the door and locked it from the inside.

Lin Xi was telling him with practical actions that he could really rest assured of them.

She pointed to the plastic bench in the room: "Sit down first, don't stand up."

"Thank you."

Han Qi sat down.

Lin Xi thought of something, and asked him, "Are people in this village doing this kind of thing?"

"What?" Han Qi asked, "What are you referring to?"

"Cheat people into their village, and then get married." Lin Xi asked: "Is it like this in the whole village?"

When Lin Xi and his group left the village, all the people in the village were looking for someone with hoes on their shoulders. It seemed that there were no fewer than 50 people.

Apparently they were all in the know.

"I don't know." Han Qi shook his head, "I have been treated very strictly since I came here. They just persuaded me at the beginning, saying that as long as I stay, they will demolish the house in the future, and I can enjoy the blessings. The attitude was pretty good, but then I always looked for opportunities to escape, so they didn't say anything to me."

Lin Xi let out a breath, and asked him again: "Why didn't you go to the police directly? Instead, you found us?"

"I didn't know the way, they took my phone away, I didn't know how to get to the city, and I really didn't know who to trust."

"Well, I see." Lin Xi paused, and then said: "You will be full later, we will send you to the county police station to report the case, and how to arrange it later depends on what the police say."

"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Lin." Han Qi was grateful and wanted to stand up and bow again, but Lin Xi raised his hand to stop him.

He immediately sat back down.

At this moment, Lin Xi finally understood the strange feeling of disobedience in her heart when she heard people in the village mention "pig".

Not only at that time, in fact, from the moment she entered the village, she felt that the village was very problematic. Those people, whether they were adults or children, looked dull, but in fact they were full of indifference and rejection of outsiders in their eyes. It was revealed in a disguised way.

It turned out to be so.

I see……

Moreover, she didn't believe that Han Qi's incident was just an example. The whole village was very repulsive to outsiders, and after Han Qi escaped, so many people from the village came out to find someone together. They absolutely could not be innocent, obviously. Accessory!

"That...Miss Lin." Han Qi suddenly said, "Can you send me to report the crime now?"

When he was talking, he purposely made a calm expression and just looked at Lin Xi like that.

"But you haven't eaten for many days, do you still have the strength now? Are you afraid of fainting?" Lin Xi looked at his pale face, and suddenly understood, and said with a faint smile: "You still doubt us and the people in the village? Do people belong together?"

Han Qi didn't speak.

"Actually, my wife's sister died in this village that year, and the police are now re-investigating." Lin Xi said to him: "My wife and I came here for this case. won't set foot here."

Han Qi was stunned.

"Did she also be tricked?"

Lin Xi shook his head, eyes slightly closed: "I don't know."

"I'm really sorry, Miss Lin, I didn't fully trust you." Han Qi stood up and bowed to Lin Xi: "I'm really sorry."

Lin Xi pressed her lips: "It's okay, if I were you, I wouldn't even ask for help, and I wouldn't trust anyone who appeared from here."

At this moment, there were three knocks on the door.

It was Chu Muqing who came back. When Lin Xi opened the door, Guan Hanchuan was still standing behind Chu Muqing.

Guan Hanchuan had already heard what Chu Muqing said on the way. As soon as he entered the door, he looked at the only boy in the room and said angrily, "Damn it, there is such a thing in this village! Son, Don't be afraid, if those villagers dare to provoke you again, I will kill them!"

Han Qi said "Thank you" in a low voice, and Chu Muqing handed him a bag of food that he bought.

Han Qi thanked again, took it over and opened the packaging bag, and started to gnaw on the bread and gobble it up.

After the child finished eating, Guan Hanchuan called a few brothers and drove him to the county together.

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing also checked out of the room. Although it was snowing heavily and the ground was thick with snow, the road was slippery and the car drove slowly, but they still arrived at the county police station safely.

A female police officer received them. After listening to Lin Xi's brief introduction, her expression suddenly became serious, and she immediately said to Han Qi, "Student, follow me first."

This case has exceeded her habitual cognition. For so many years, such a thing has not happened in Dongguan County.

She was about to report when two people walked in from outside the door.

The one walking in front was Luo Yanyu, and following behind him was Professor Luo.

"What's going on?" Luo Yanyu couldn't help being stunned seeing Lin Xi and the others here.

"It's like this. This classmate's name is Han Qi, a first-year student at the University of Finance and Economics. He came to the security guard and said that people from Jiashao Village tricked him into the village and forced him to marry."

Luo Yanyu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious: "Did you get tricked into the village?"

"Yes... I'll report to the chief first." She said, beckoning a male police officer over, and ordered: "Xiao Liu, go and prepare food and hot water for this classmate first."

Han Qi quickly shook his head and explained: "Those two young ladies have already treated me to dinner."

Luo Yanyu and Professor Luo looked at each other, and Professor Luo's expression also became serious.

If it is a case of abduction, then the nature of this case is obviously not an ordinary case.

This kind of outrageous matter must be thoroughly investigated and dealt with seriously!

On the other side, Han Qi had already left with the young police officer, and Luo Yanyu's eyes fell on Lin Xi.

Professor Luo took the initiative to walk over and asked Lin Xi, "Why are you here?"

Lin Xi replied: "Student Han Qi found us, please let us take him away."

Professor Luo nodded lightly, said nothing, and returned to Luo Yanyu's side again.

Lin Xi and the others left the police station after explaining the situation to the police officer in charge. Guan Hanchuan was very familiar with the county, so he made a fuss at the gate of the police station, took them to the best hotel to stay, and said that it was him Friends open, do not need to pay money.

Lin Xi had no choice but to agree to the hospitality.

After arriving at the hotel, after the room was opened, Lin Xi and Chu Muqing took the elevator to the third floor.

The room is very spacious and bright, even though it was cold when you first entered, but after the air conditioner was turned on, listening to the sound of the air conditioner blowing out hot air, you felt warmer.

Lin Xi seldom spoke along the way, and she was always thinking about one thing in her mind.

People in this village are very repulsive to outsiders. Regardless of their age, even children, once they see outsiders, they will always pay attention to their every move.

This village is not clean, they are afraid that outsiders will know the dirty things they have done.

Therefore, when Chu Muyun came to this village suddenly, it was impossible for the people in the village to be unaware.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Muqing asked.

Lin Xi was silent for a while.

"I was thinking that Chu Muyun's death must have something to do with this village."
