Zhaoxi Village is a quiet and peaceful small village, at least on the surface.

It is under the jurisdiction of Nanxiang Town. There are about 600 households in the village. The entire village is surrounded by a large area of ​​mango forest. The villagers make a living by growing mangoes. The economic development is considered to be medium to the upper level.

This period of time is considered a slack season in the village. At this time, under the big mango tree in front of the village committee, you can see many leisurely old men gathered together to play chess. The argument kept coming, but it was accompanied by laughter and laughter. This is the fun of chess. Lin Yan'er and I were both wearing casual clothes.

Because I just came to Nanxiang Police Station for a short time, I am a new face here, and the local people will definitely not recognize it.

Lin Yan'er has a new face. Today she is wearing slim jeans, a sweatshirt, a sun hat and sunglasses.

Looking at this fashionable and trendy appearance, no one can imagine that this is an iron-faced policewoman.

After entering the village, we locked the small yellow car aside. I went to the small supermarket to buy mineral water and handed Lin Yan'er a bottle. She took it and said carelessly: "Thank you."

He raised his head and drank.

I looked at her drinking water posture and smiled without saying a word. She took a sip of water and looked down at me looking at her strangely. She was a little confused: "I'm the one in Bai, what are you looking at? What are you thinking about?"

"If you follow the cutting standards of the murderer, with a figure like you, how many knives do you think the murderer needs to cut?"

I asked this question directly. Lin Yan'er was stunned for a moment and twisted the bottle cap hard: "I'm the last name of Bai, you probably don't have a girlfriend, right?"

"No."

I replied, Lin Yan'er shrugged and nodded, "That's right. It would be strange if you are an idiot who is as good at chatting as you are. "

"Don't slander others, okay? I'm chatting with you with professional knowledge and respecting you very much."

I disliked her and had long wanted to find an opportunity to harm her. How could I let her go when I caught her this time?

Lin Yan'er was not angry, but smiled at me: "Talk to me about professional knowledge, okay, I like it, I will accompany you!"

I spread my hands and took a gesture of accompanying me to the end: "I'm not afraid either!"

"Bai Xiaotian, do you know that I cut 385 knives on you, and you can't even die. Do you want to try it?"

Lin Yan'er put her face close and compared me with a throat-cutting action. Her eyes looked like a female killer in the movie.

But she said it right. I once heard a news that a nurse was a doctor who cheated on her boyfriend and then cut dozens of knifes on the man, causing the man torture, but the man was not dead yet.

So don’t offend those who study medicine. They can be angels and devils.

At this time, the old men who played chess started arguing again. The noise this time was quite loud, and it sounded like a dispute that could not be calmed down.

Because I was at a disadvantage with Lin Yan'er, I felt it would be embarrassing to stay with her again, so I decided to calm the chess storm. While alleviating the embarrassment, I did not let the old men cause other things to do for chess.

I ran to the chess game and found that the old men argued over whether they were going to move first or first. It was said that a real gentleman would not speak, and a real man would have no regrets when he made a move.

These old men have been playing chess for decades, but don’t they understand such a simple question?

However, although this problem is simple, it is difficult to solve it.

After all, it is difficult for honest officials to make it difficult for police officers to make the dispute over chess.

Actually, I was just curious and came to see the fun. Their father said that his mother had the right reason, even if Bao Qingtian was reborn, he was afraid that he would not be able to break it.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly saw that one of the two people playing chess was my neighbor.

Not bad, it’s the old farmer who sells ostrich meat.

When I saw him, I felt a little strange. He was a strange old man, but he was very introverted, so why would he come to play chess?

At this time, other old men quarreled in his ears. It can be said that the scene was already in chaos, but he was calm, staring at the chessboard, and looking at the strategist and winning thousands of miles. This is really a mentality of not being confused when Mount Tai collapses before.

Is he the legendary master?

I pushed the crowd away, came to the neighbor, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, old man, it turns out that you like playing chess, and I like it too, why don't..."

He turned his eyes and looked at me hard, his eyes trembling like a knife.

My strange neighbor didn't say a word, picked up a small bag, got up and walked away.

Looking at the neighbor's back as I stayed for more than ten seconds, another old man playing chess said to me: "Young man, do you like playing chess too? Then sit down!"

"Uh, actually I..."

I want to say that my chess skills are really not good. I just wanted to find an excuse to get close to my mysterious neighbor, but my neighbor seemed to not want to know me at all and would not give me any face at all.

The old man opposite said, "Old Aotou plays chess with me, and he is about to lose 100 yuan to me, but you come to disrupt the situation... Let's talk about what to do, do you come to help him with this chess game, or do you help him with this 100 yuan?"

It turns out that these old men are gambling here!

Gambling for chess, is this gambling or entertainment? When I was struggling with this issue, Lin Yan'er took a hundred-dollar bill in front of the old man playing chess.

He said to the old man: "Uncle, we will lose this plan."

The old man picked up the hundred-dollar bill, smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles, and his dentures were almost falling out. He praised Lin Yan'er with great enthusiasm: "I said, "Young man, it's your wife who is sensible. You can tell at a glance that you can't win this game. Little girl, your husband can't beat me. Do you want to play the game with your uncle?"

Although the old man was praising Lin Yan'er, why did I hear so excitedly?

Lin Yan'er saw through my little thoughts at first sight. She pinched my waist hard, and I almost cried out.

But there are so many elderly people on the scene, and I have to hold it in. Lin Yan'er smiled and said to the old man: "Uncle, I can play this game of chess, but you have to promise me a condition."

"Oh, there are still conditions. What are the conditions you said?"

The old man's dentures shook his mouth again, and Lin Yan'er said: "I'll go with you later. If I lose, I'll go with you for 200 yuan, but if you lose, you have to answer a few simple questions."

The old man's denture fell out directly, and he was already smiling from ear to ear. In his eyes, looking at the entire Zhaoxi Village, who can compete with him in playing chess.

The little girl in front of her must have never seen the world at such a young age. She still doesn’t know what a master of chess is, right? How can I not accept it when I rush to send money to my door?

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle situation broke out, the old man's expression changed.

Without taking four or five steps, he surrendered.

I don’t know chess, and I don’t know what trick Lin Yaner used to defeat the old man. Anyway, the old man was convinced by the loss.

He accepted the failure and Lin Yan'er began to ask questions: "Uncle, has anyone suddenly disappeared recently?"

"Yes, about twelve years ago, Yao Laowai, who was buried in the east, suddenly disappeared..."

The old man came, and Lin Yaner burst into laughter and quickly repeated: "Uncle, uncle, you misunderstood. What I mean is the recent, recent, meaning in recent years or months..."

"Isn't it close to what happened twelve years ago?"

The old man asked back, asking nothing to say. Perhaps for older people like them, what happened twelve years ago was indeed close enough.

Lin Yan'er rolled her eyes at me and shook her head helplessly. After we left, the old men pointed and muttered something behind.

Lin Yan'er complained a little depressedly: "I just said this method doesn't work. Those uncles are obviously trying to get sloppy and pretending to be stupid. Oh, I'm so angry..."

As expected, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. She spent a hundred yuan and hadn't asked any questions. Who wouldn't be angry if she was such a thing?

Looking at me who was silent, Lin Yan'er became even more angry after being angry and pushed me: "Hey, I said Bai Xiaotian, can you say a word? I'm very angry now, don't you know?"

"squeak!"

As she wished, I squeaked.

Then he left, Lin Yan'er shouted and scolded behind him. I couldn't hear what she was saying, because I was thinking about the problem now.

According to my observation, the old men must have deliberately concealed something, so obviously pretending to be stupid, wasn’t it just exposing that there was no silver here?

But why do they hide it? What mysterious force is causing them to do so?

This is worth studying.

I walked while thinking, and suddenly the small woods next to the village surprised me. The woods looked so familiar, just like the woods that appeared in the video when Ou Ye was kidnapped.

I quickly accelerated my pace toward the woods, because I wanted to confirm up close that this woods were the woods that appeared when Ou Ye was tied up.

Lin Yan'er chased me like the wind and kept muttering in my ears: "Bai Xiaotian, Lao Yang has arranged it for me for me. It's definitely a huge mistake. Do you know that you have nothing to do and can't help me at all. It's better to do it alone!"

"casual."

I don’t like following such a chattering guy around me. If you like to do it alone, just go alone, I don’t care.

But she said she wanted to do it alone, but she betrayed her. She ran slower and was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with me: "Wait for me, this wilderness is in this wilderness, people are afraid."

I'm going, you are a policeman, are you still afraid of the wilderness?

After I got into the woods, I found a young man in the woods was hunching his waist as if he was looking for something. I greeted him: "Brother, has the thing gone?"

"My classmate Qi Wei got lost here last night. I'll see if he will leave any clues."

The young man said that Lin Yan'er chased after him. He heard the young man say this, so he said, "A big guy will get lost. He won't go home quietly, right? The woods are not big, how can he get lost?"

"Don't you know? This is a devil's forest. It is said that this forest can eat people. Recently, many children have been lost near this forest."
