Fan Ren turned around, saw Xiao Lin, and said very embarrassedly: "Oh, Miss Xiao Lin, I want to ask Boss Bai for some information about Miss Xue. I just found a major clue. It's not that I don't know Bai Bai."
Which room does the boss live in, so I have to..."
"What major clues? Ask me anything..." When Bai Shuo heard that there was a major clue, he immediately interrupted Fan Ren and asked.
Fan Ren stopped nagging, invited Bai Shuo into the room, and then asked: "Boss Bai, I would like to ask you if you know which friends, colleagues or classmates Miss Xue usually interacts with more often?"
Bai Shuo thought for a while: "I don't know much about this. I have been to Nanshui twice in total, and the time spent each time was not long. Man Lin was also alone with us, and did not bring any friends with us.
touch."
"Well, they are not necessarily friends, or do you know who she usually has close contact with around Nanshui Town?" Fan Ren added.
Bai Shuo shook his head, indicating that he was indeed not sure.
Fan Ren sighed and said: "There was nothing unusual about Miss Xue's whereabouts before she disappeared, and the last time she left the hotel she left on her own and was not coerced. I suspect that Miss Xue was not kidnapped but went somewhere by herself."
"Since she wasn't kidnapped, why can't she get through on the phone after so long? Could it be that Man Lin is playing hide and seek with us?" Cao An said with great disgust.
"I just said that Miss Xue went somewhere by herself, but it is also possible that something unexpected happened after she went there, which caused her current movements to be restricted." Fan Ren explained. "I investigated this incident.
Before, many people from Nanshui and surrounding towns came to the county, and Miss Xue had contact with these people before she disappeared. By the way, through the investigation of Miss Xue’s call records, it was found that in addition to the communication with you and her family,
In addition to the phone calls, I also contacted a few people, and most of these people were from villages and towns around Nanshui..."
"You mean it was probably done by an acquaintance?" Bai Shuo asked.
"Well, there is a possibility..." Fan Ren thought for a while and continued: "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, I have nothing more to ask."
"Officer Fan, um..." Bai Shuo was about to ask Fan Ren something, but Fan Ren picked up his cell phone and made a call.
Presuming that the other party was a woman, Fan Ren said in a teasing tone: "...Oh, good sister, how could I not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? I just called you because I missed you...ah!
Really? Oh, and by the way, I just wanted to ask how it went when I asked you this afternoon?... There is really no ulterior motive. You misunderstood. Of course I miss you the most... Haha..."
I don't know whether it was the cold night or Fan Ren's conversation, but everyone felt like goosebumps. As he said that, Fan Ren stopped paying attention to everyone, and didn't even intend to respond to the question Bai Shuo was about to ask him, and gradually moved toward
Walk outside the hotel.
Looking at Fan Ren's leaving figure, Cao An jumped and said: "Who the hell is this person? He woke us all up in the middle of the night and asked two irrelevant questions..."
"I'm not good at handling cases, but I'm pretty good at doing dirty things all day long..."
"This guy is really hateful. He blames us for complaining to our superiors, and he must be deliberately trying to disgust us."
After everyone denounced Fan Ren for a while, Bai Shuo shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back and have a rest. We will continue to think of a solution tomorrow morning."
Just as everyone was preparing to go back to their rooms, a dark, thin and timid boy ran in from outside the hotel. As soon as he entered the hotel, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. When he saw Bai Shuo and the others, the boy instinctively avoided it.
, then stuck out his head and secretly looked at the crowd, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then cautiously leaned against the wall and walked to a place about two or three meters away from the crowd and stopped.
"Excuse me, who is Brother Bai Shuo?" the little boy asked while looking at everyone suspiciously.
Bai Shuo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized something. He walked up to the little boy in two steps and said, "I am."
The little boy shrank back two steps smartly, and stopped again when he heard the person saying that he was Bai Shuo.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. I am Bai Shuo. Do you have anything to do with me?" Bai Shuo asked eagerly while signaling the little boy not to be afraid.
The little boy took two steps forward and came to Bai Shuo. He looked back, as if he was afraid of being discovered. Then he said, "Sister Manlin asked me to come to you."
Bai Shuo was not surprised. When the little boy appeared, he felt that it was related to Man Lin, so he quickly asked: "Where is Man Lin now? Is she in danger?"
Little boy: "Brother Bai Shuo, don't worry. Sister Manlin is not in danger for the time being. She is just being taken care of by Zhou Qiang's people. Zhou Qiang likes Sister Manlin and will not do anything to Sister Manlin. He just wants to force Sister Manlin to do something.
Something I don’t want to do.”
"Zhou Qiang...?" Bai Shuo thought about the name and felt it was somewhat familiar.
"Isn't Zhou Qiang the playboy we met in Xiatang Town last time?" Zhao Yong said.
Bai Shuo suddenly realized that the last time he met Zhou Qiang was not a good person. Unexpectedly, this time he took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Man Lin. Although the little boy said that Man Lin was not in danger for the time being, Zhou Qiang had always treated Man Lin.
It’s interesting, but I’m not sure if I will have any bad intentions after a long time.
"Oh, little brother, what's your name?" Bai Shuo asked the little boy.
"They all call me Little Heizi."
"Oh, little Heizi, do you know what Zhou Qiang wants Man Lin to do?"
"This...I really don't know this. I only know that Sister Manlin was unwilling and had a fight with Zhou Qiang, and was finally locked up by Zhou Qiang."
Xiao Lin, who was on the side, came forward and gently stroked the little boy, asking him not to worry: "Xiao Heizi, can you tell us what you know? Speak slowly and don't be hasty."
The little boy thought for a while and slowly told everyone: Xiao Heizi is from Nan'an Town. He has been familiar with Xue Manlin, Zhou Qiang and others since he was a child. A few days ago, he originally came to the county town with his family to pay for the death of a child who drowned.
Li asked for an explanation, but the situation became increasingly tense, until incidents of smashing, burning, and looting occurred. In the chaos, Xiao Heizi was separated from his family, and he was alone in hiding from the rioting crowd. Later he met
Zhou Qiang and others were taken by Zhou Qiang to a remote place to settle down.
Last night, Xiao Heizi actually saw Man Lin arriving at the residence of Zhou Qiang and others. It seemed that it was Man Lin who Zhou Qiang had made an appointment with. At the beginning, the two of them had a good chat, and Zhou Qiang even imitated her appearance on TV.
I prepared a bottle of red wine and had a chat with Manlin while tasting the wine. Later, I don’t know what happened. It seemed that Zhou Qiang made some excessive demands, and Manlin became more and more excited. As the dispute became more and more intense, Manlin
She took out her mobile phone and wanted to make a call, but Zhou Qiang repeatedly stopped her, not wanting Man Lin to contact the outside world. Finally, Zhou Qiang grabbed the phone and threw it out, smashing the phone to pieces. In desperation, Man Lin even hit Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang was also a little angry at the slap, and immediately had Man Lin locked up in a small room. She was not allowed to leave or contact anyone.
Tonight, Zhou Qiang and others brought a lot of food and drinks, and asked Xiao Heizi to send some to Man Lin. Everyone was just eating and drinking, and did not pay too much attention to the situation on Man Lin's side. Man Lin took advantage of
With no one paying attention, Xiao Heizi asked Xiao Heizi to find a way to find Bai Shuo in the hotel and inform Bai Shuo of his situation. Xiao Heizi had been close to Man Lin since he was a child, so he naturally listened to Man Lin's words. After nightfall, he took advantage of Zhou Qiang and everyone else to sleep.
He was asleep, drunk and drunk, so he sneaked out.
After listening to Xiao Heizi's introduction, Zhao Yong immediately asked: "Little brother, how many people are Zhou Qiang and the others? Do you know who they are?"
Xiao Heizi replied: "Those of them seem to have something to do outside. They always come and go back and forth every day, and there is no definite number. However, there are usually about eight or nine people staying in the yard, and they usually eat and drink with Zhou Qiang.
The guys having fun."
"I think the people we met last time should be easy to deal with," Cao An said.
Bai Shuo thought for a while and asked: "Xiao Heizi, where is the place you mentioned? Is it far from here? Are you willing to take us to save Sister Manlin?"
Xiao Heizi nodded: "I'm here to ask you to rescue Sister Manlin. That place is a farmhouse near the county town. It's about half an hour away. If you take a car, you can get there in more than ten minutes.
.”
Bai Shuo immediately decided to let Li Fei and Xiao Lin stay at the hotel while he took Zhong Pengcheng, Cao An, Anna, Zhao Yong, and Niu Er to rescue Man Lin.
Li Fei said with some scruples: "Let's go like this? After all, we are unfamiliar with the place. Should we call the police?"
"Call the police, do you mean to notify Fan Ren? He can rely on the sow to climb the tree." Cao An said calmly.
Zhong Pengcheng thought for a while and said: "The situation here is complicated now. I don't know if Fan Ren is reliable. Even if he has no problem, I don't think he can play any role. We still have to rely on ourselves."
Bai Shuo also said immediately: "Yes, Xiao Heizi has been out for a while. If Zhou Qiang notices it, he might be transferred immediately. It will be even more difficult to find Man Lin. I think it won't be too late."
After hearing what Bai Shuo said, everyone had no objections, but Li Fei and Xiao Lin took the initiative to ask Ying to go together. Bai Shuo told them that they were going to rescue people and there might be danger at any time. Anna, Zhao Yong, and Niu Er didn't have to
Having said that, Zhong Pengcheng, Cao An and I have never lost in fights together since childhood. After all, Li Fei and Xiao Lin were a little inferior in fists and kicks, which only added to the burden.
Li Fei was basically convinced by Bai Shuo, but Xiao Lin was still unconvinced and said: "There are eight or nine people on the other side, maybe more. There are only six of you. Even if you can fight, the number is still one."
Zhi. Although I can't fight, I can drive. I'll stay in the car so I won't cause any trouble to you. Maybe I can take care of you at the critical moment."
Seeing what Xiao Lin said, Li Fei immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will go too. I will stay in the car until you rescue someone who can pick you up."
Bai Shuo thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so the group quickly prepared themselves, found a few handy weapons, and drove two cars toward the farmhouse where Man Lin was imprisoned, led by Xiao Heizi.
.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from the farmhouse, Bai Shuo asked everyone to get out of the car. Based on Xiao Heizi's previous introduction and general observation, he found that this was a very large farmhouse with a large courtyard in the middle.
, there is a small three-story Western-style building, with several flat-storey houses on both sides. Behind the yard is a farmland, and there is a path connecting the farmhouse. There was originally a passage in front of the yard that led to the door of the farmhouse.
, but seeing that it was relatively quiet there, driving there would definitely arouse the other party's vigilance, so Bai Shuo asked Xiao Lin and Li Fei to drive the car far away to wait for orders, while he and the rest of the people walked through the side road.
Head towards the farmhouse.
It was pitch dark on the path at night. If it weren't for the lights in the farmhouse, people would have lost their way. Fortunately, Xiao Heizi was familiar with the road. Under his leadership, everyone groped carefully and gradually got closer.
farmhouse.
When they arrived at the farmhouse, Bai Shuo grabbed Xiao Heizi and did not let him take the lead. Anna, Zhao Yong, and Niu Er rushed forward in a tacit understanding, and quickly ambush on both sides of the gate of the farmhouse yard, observing quietly.
situation.
At this time, it seemed that everyone in the farmhouse was not drunk or asleep as Xiao Heizi said. Instead, it seemed a bit noisy, and it seemed that many people were negotiating about something.
Bai Shuo felt something was wrong and looked at Anna suspiciously. Anna didn't have much expression and was still paying attention to everything in the yard calmly.
At this time, two people suddenly walked out of a farmhouse and walked straight towards the courtyard gate. They were about to run into Zhao Yong and Niu Er who were ambushing at the door.
In an emergency, Zhao Yong and Niu Er looked at Anna in unison. Anna nodded slightly without any hesitation. Zhao Yong and Niu Er stood up at the same time, each targeting one person and preparing to quickly subdue the other. But surprisingly, this
The reaction of the two was very quick, and their skills seemed to be good. Although Zhao Yong and Niu Er made a surprise attack, they failed to achieve the expected effect. They made some noise and knocked the two to the ground.
Seeing that their whereabouts had been exposed, Bai Shuo and others no longer hesitated. They immediately picked up the watermelon knives, sticks and other weapons they had prepared and rushed towards the courtyard, hoping that if they acted quickly, they might still be able to achieve some unexpected effects.
Just as Bai Shuo and others rushed in, several agile figures rushed out of the house. Anna took the lead, flying and kicking, knocking down the two people in front of her in an instant, but when Bai Shuo and others were preparing to
When he took advantage of the momentum and continued to advance, he suddenly found that he was facing a black hole of gun muzzle.
