Pulling back the time, the bell arrived in the next city near dusk that afternoon.
"Why hasn't the bell come back yet?" Mo Xiao kept muttering as he looked out the window.
Ye Xiaoying walked back and forth in the living room: "That shouldn't be the case. I didn't come back for dinner at noon. It's almost evening..."
She glanced at the dining table. There was still food left for Ling Ding at noon. Normally, the little girl would go home before the food got cold. Even if she still wanted to play wild, she would go back after eating.
"I can't stand it. It's too anxious to wait like this. I'll go out to look for him too." Reyes put on his clothes and was about to go out, but Xue Yue and Patty had already gone out to look for someone.
"Don't worry, you went out alone and we will look for you later." Mo Xiao called Reyes to stop him. With how crazy he was, he would probably lose himself when he was looking for someone.
Mo Xiao said and looked at Ye Xiaoying and ordered: "Let's go out separately. Reyes took the phone and turned on the positioning. If you don't know how to turn it on, I will teach you. Xiaoying and I will go to the place where Ling Dang often goes to take a look.
,contacting via phone."
Mo Xiao looked calm, but in fact he was very panicked now. He thought of the monster hunter he met last night. It was obvious that there were still monster hunter activities in the city where they lived. And with the other party's temperament, if Lingdang met this group of monster hunters,
Monster... Mo Xiao didn't dare to think about it anymore.
At this moment, the sound of Shu Mo's messy footsteps reached everyone's ears. They all looked over and saw him rolling down the stairs.
"Look! I found a piece of letter paper in Ling Dang's room." Shu Mo stood up as if nothing happened, holding up a page of letter paper in his hand, "The little guy ran away from home!"
Several people looked at each other. This answer was so unexpected. Ling Dang was recognized as a good child in the family. He didn't let anyone worry about anything. He not only washed his own clothes, but also took the initiative to help clean the house. He never complained. Such a child would do the same.
runaway?
"Look what's written!"
Mo Xiao and others ignored their surprise and all moved toward Shu Mena and stared at the letter.
She didn’t write much on the letter. To put it simply, Ling Dang wanted to prove that she was not a child, so she ran away from home and lived outside for a period of time so that her family would not have to worry about her. At the end of the letter, the little girl also drew a cute smiling face with a pencil.
.
"Sure enough, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black..." Ye Xiaoying covered her head and was speechless.
"What do you mean?" Shu Mo knew that Cat Lady had something to say. Didn't she mean that she also ran away from home? Ling Dang should follow his example.
"You know it yourself."
Mo Xiao interrupted the quarrel between the two of them: "Okay, you two, stop arguing! I don't care what the situation is now."
Ye Xiaoying and Shu Mo both shut up and looked ugly.
"I called Xue Yue and Patty to come back first. It's useless for them to look outside now." Mo Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number while saying, "Let's think about what to do quickly."
Mo Xiao finished the phone calls, then took out his computer and looked at the mysterious pendant: "Connect to the Internet and see if you can find the bell's movements from the surveillance."
Mo Xiao has already seen the mysterious pendant's network intrusion ability, and now if he wants to find any clues, he may have to rely on him.
It was rare that the mysterious pendant didn't say something bad, but said with relief: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
While the mysterious pendant was being deciphered online, Xue Yue and Patty also came back one after another. They looked solemn and did not say anything after entering the room. They both stood in front of the computer.
"I sorted out the surveillance in the suburbs, and only the bell was photographed at the bus station. Based on this, I discovered this."
The mysterious pendant played the surveillance video on the computer, and everyone stared intently, and soon saw the bell on the screen at the city station.
Mo Xiao bit her finger lightly and said: "The little guy took a black car, but the destination...the picture is a bit blurry and the brand is not clear. Can you find a way to enlarge the words on the brand?"
"Unfortunately, we can't." Mysterious Pendant replied.
"The destination name has two characters, and one of the characters is barely legible, which is the character 'yang'."
Patty knocked on the table lightly and continued: "Considering that this kind of bread does not travel long distances, there are two nearby cities with the word 'Yang' in it."
Mo Xiao then added: "There are no words with the word 'yang' in our cities, counties, districts and towns, but the general range is there."
"Hold on."
The mysterious pendant continued to investigate and monitor, and soon the result came: "I found it, it's in the next city."
Mo Xiao looked at the computer screen, which showed a video of Ling Dang wandering on the street after getting off the car. Then Mo Xiao raised his head and looked at the others.
"Let's go, find the little girl first."
...
Ling Ding, who was sleeping deeply, dreamed that she was falling down. She shuddered, woke up from her sleep, and opened her eyes suddenly.
She found that her nest was gone and was replaced by a locked iron cage.
She raised her head unconsciously, and the person in front of her surprised her slightly. They were the middle-aged couple she had seen in the car before, and she was being carried in their hands. It was already dawn.
"Oh, this puppy is awake."
When the man saw the bell moving, he couldn't help shouting in surprise.
When the woman heard this, she gave him a 'poof' and said, "Ignorant! This is a fox! Judging from the fur color, it's still a snow fox. Do you understand that it's a valuable product? It's just to protect animals, but it's hard to find a buyer."
As she spoke, she covered the cage with the bell with a layer of black cloth.
A man's voice came next: "Then what do you think?"
The woman happily replied: "Some rich people like this rare animal... If we really can't find a buyer, we can kill and skin it and make a scarf. How fashionable."
When Lingdang heard this, she panicked and wanted to break out of the cage. She was a monster. Although she was still underage, her strength was not small. Most adults couldn't match it. Just when she was about to take action, the cage suddenly shook.
Yes, she immediately realized that she was going downstairs.
She remembered what she saw when she opened her eyes just now. It should be in a certain community. The houses were quite old, and even the windows on some floors were broken.
Now go downstairs...are you on the first underground floor?
The tip of Ling Dang's nose slightly shrugged, and she decided to wait. Anyway, she could get out of the wire cage at any time, and she smelled an unusual sour smell.
It's like the smell of many people mixed together. It's not quite appropriate to describe it as sour.
With the irregular footsteps of the two, the stench became stronger and stronger, and she even heard faint crying. Ling Ding was curious, so she slowly lay down.
As the door opened, Bell felt as if the cage in which he was locked was being lowered, and the crying sound coming from outside was even more obvious.
"Go and look at the goods."
A female voice sounded, followed by another sound of opening the door. The crying stopped suddenly, but a small sob could still be heard from the bell.
"There is no problem with the goods. The quantity is right. Have you decided when it will be shipped?"
"It will be shipped tomorrow. After confirming it, leave as soon as possible. It smells really bad after being locked for a long time. By the way, take a photo and tell others that you have caught a snow fox. Let them pay attention and don't let it go."
Then the bell was flashed hard by the flashlight.
"Okay, okay, let me tell the old man outside first, fox... snow fox, right? I will contact the fourth man later and ask the little girl in white clothes if they have found it, call him...
"
There were two more sounds of closing the door in succession, and the voices gradually faded away, and soon the place became quiet.
