"Dingle bell!" Qin Nan was lying on the bed at this time. He couldn't help but sigh and stretched out his right hand from the bed.
He fumbled around and finally found the cell phone that was the source of all evil. He put the cell phone under the quilt, slowly opened his eyes, and found that it turned out to be a caller ID.
When he saw the caller clearly, he trembled all over and quickly sat up and answered the phone.
"Hey, Zeng Li, how are you doing now? Where are you?" Qin Nan asked anxiously.
"Uh...Brother Nan, I'm Mo Dan. We are at the door of the house now. Um..." Mo Dan hesitated, and she felt that Qin Nan might get angry.
Then there was a beep from Mo Dan's cell phone to hang up the phone. She sighed and looked at Zeng Li, who was standing at the top of the stairs not far away.
After Zeng Lijian hung up the phone, she quickly stepped forward and asked:
"What's wrong? You're sighing." Zeng Li asked with a slight frown, feeling that something was wrong.
"Brother Nan, he hung up the phone..." Before Mo Dan could finish his words, he heard the running sound of "dong dong dong" coming from inside the door. The two sisters Zeng Li had just reacted.
The door was opened instantly by Qin Nan, who was looking at the two sisters with wide eyes.
The two sisters also silently moved their eyes to the ground, because they saw that Qin Nan was not angry at this time, but more worried.
"Where have you been? Do you know that we have called the police? I am worried to death. What will grandma think if she finds out?" Qin Nan walked up to them and said.
"I..." The two of them lowered their heads and looked at each other, then began to hesitate.
"Oh, forget it, it'll be great if you can come back. Let's talk after we come in." Qin Nan took two steps back and motioned for the two of them to go in first.
Mo Dan slowly walked into the house, and Zeng Li hurriedly ran to her other side to avoid direct contact with Qin Nan. She always felt that he seemed to have a stick or broom hidden behind him.
I plan to lock them both at home and beat them.
Zeng Li kept staring in the direction of Qin Nan, and the two of them slowly walked into the house.
At this time, the door closed with a "snap".
The two bodies were startled by the sound. Qin Nan sighed, took out his mobile phone and sent Song Yi a WeChat message, indicating that Zeng Li and the others had returned home, and then sat at the dining table over there to watch.
With today's news.
The two sisters were sitting on the sofa over there. Looking at Qin Nan at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. It seemed that she felt uncomfortable if she didn't hit them.
At this time, Wu Haotian brought out three bowls of noodles, looked at the two sisters over there and said, "Cousin, come over for dinner with your bestie."
Wu Haotian calmly placed the two bowls of noodles on the empty table opposite Qin Nan, as if they had never left.
Seeing that Wu Haotian was so calm, the two sisters felt more and more strange, but what they were thinking now was that Qin Nan would not be too likely to cause trouble to them.
The two of them sat on the chair opposite Qin Nan. They looked at Qin Nan and then at each other. They sighed. Zeng Li picked up a handful of noodles and was about to put it into her mouth.
At this time, Qin Nan slowly said: "Where have you been these past two days, and why are you back now?"
"Um, cousin, I said we were kidnapped, do you believe it?" Zeng Li said with her cheeks twitching and the corners of her mouth showing a very ugly smile.
"Well, tell me what happened." Qin Nan took a sip of noodles and said expressionlessly.
The more calm he was, the more unnatural the two sisters became.
Zeng Li touched Mo Dan's elbow and winked at her. Then Mo Dan put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a deep breath and said:
"Brother Nannan, it's like this. I don't know when I was kidnapped. We drank on the roadside that night..."
"Drink?!" Qin Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zeng Li, who was lowering her head opposite her. Her big face and plate seemed to be integrated into the bowl.
Zeng Li pretended not to hear and still sucked the noodles in the bowl.
"Uh... yes, Lili drank a bottle and a half of Erguotou and Jiang Xiaobai, and I drank two and a half bottles. Originally, I can drink well, but the alcohol in this city seems to be quite high..."
Modan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and continued.
"Later, the two of us somehow got into a car and fell asleep in a daze when we got to the car. I seemed to see some children."
"Child? What kid?" Qin Nan frowned, as if he thought of something.
"It just seems like, I don't know very well. I drank a lot of wine at that time and my head was dizzy. When I woke up later, I found that we were locked in a cage.
At that time, Zeng Li was still in a coma, and she must have drank too much. When she woke up, we came to a space where time could not be seen," Modan said.
"What? What do you mean you can't see time?!" Qin Nan asked.
"There was no sunlight there, and there were incandescent lights and torches all around. There were many corpses hanging at the top, all of them adults, and all the children were locked in iron cages above the beams.
It looks particularly dangerous. We are guarded by four clowns. These four clowns don’t know what to say. They haven’t hurt us so far and have given us food and water.
We didn't hurt those children. Later, after we watched a performance, we didn't know what happened, so we fainted, and when we woke up, it was the same time as this morning."
After Modan finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and checked the time. Today happened to be Christmas. In total, they had been locked up for a day and a night.
Qin Nan frowned at this time, because a recent case he encountered was also related to clowns. In a van, there was a dead body painted with clown paint.
The dead body was a human trafficker wanted by the police for a long time. Qin Nan felt that Zeng Li and the others had a high possibility of entering a human trafficking stronghold.
However, he also felt strange as to why those people sent Mo Dan and the others back. At this moment, Qin Nan's cell phone rang. It was Song Yi calling.
"Hey, Lao Qin, have the two sisters gone home?" Song Yi asked.
"Yes, Lao Qin, what's wrong with you? I feel like something is wrong with you." Qin Nan said.
"The five parents who reported missing children before said that their children had returned home safely," Song Yi said.
"What...what." Qin Nan didn't know what to say. It was good that the children had returned home safely, but for what reason did those people send these children back...
At the same time, in the cave in the playground.
The Clown King was in one of the rooms, looking at the four people lying on the steel bed. He saw with his own eyes that the "doctor" took out the kidneys and livers of those people.
After the Clown King saw the blood splashing everywhere, he couldn't help but started to giggle, which seemed to stimulate a certain excitement point in him. At this time, a clown walked in from outside the door and whispered something in his ear.
sentence,
Then he suppressed his sickly smile and slowly walked out of the room...
At this time, the number of children hanging in the iron cage in the venue seemed to have decreased by more than half, leaving only about seven or eight children. Xu Minghua, who was hanging in the air, was also missing.
At this time, the iron fence slowly opened, and the children looked towards the source of the sound. At this time, walking in the front was the clown wearing a crown.
Since these children watched the Clown King's performance, they are no longer afraid of him.
At this time, there were three couples following behind him. Each of them was wearing a uniform clown suit and a uniform mask on their face. One of the couples was supporting each other and seemed a little scared.
The woman from the other couple put her right hand on her chest and seemed a little uneasy. But the couple walking next to the Clown Queen held hands and did not panic at all.
However, it seems from their temperament that they are not like ordinary people.
At this time, the iron cage holding the children began to gradually lower. The clowns and the couples surrounded the iron cage. At this time, the children in the iron cage gathered in a corner.
Looking helplessly at everything outside the cage...
