Chapter 147

Old Yin asked, "What was put in the box?" He was very curious about what kind of thing could attract Luo Fei to be so surprised!

"A photo." Ceng Xiaohui replied.

"A photo? What photo?"

"A photo of an old man. It was given to me by Manager Hu in the garden. I don't know who that person is, but that person's appearance is quite strange."

"Oh? How is it strange?" Old Yin asked curiously.

"That old man seems to have a look of intoxication, but looking at his eyes, they are straight, as if there is something wrong with his brain."

Old Yin wondered in his heart: It seems this person has some relationship with Luo Fei and the others, perhaps someone they are familiar with, otherwise he wouldn't be like that!

Luo Fei must know who is in the photo, but at this moment, Luo Fei and the others are nowhere to be found! After clarifying these situations, Old Yin wanted to return to the station immediately to report the situation, but he couldn't let go of his worry. He was worried that if Luo Fei and his companion were really saved by Jiao Jiao Laohan Jiao's wife, they shouldn't have gone far. If a few more people from the Supreme God came, then they would be in danger. This mountain village has no mobile phone signal, it is completely a place isolated from the outside world!

After thinking about it, he decided to search here first, hoping to find out that Luo Fei and the others were taken away safely.

Having made up his mind, he carefully surveyed this somewhat dilapidated house. Those drag marks led to the inner room. Old Yin was not at ease with Ceng Xiaohui. He patrolled the house and found that a wooden chair in the house was relatively sturdy and looked relatively heavy, so he handcuffed him back to the back of the chair and went out to carry little Zhang Qizhi in.

Seeing that there was no suitable place in this house to settle the little guy, he found a cotton cloth garment from Jiao Jiao Laohan Jiao's house, tore it into strips, and tied the child to his back. After everything was settled, he warned Ceng Xiaohui a few more words, and then carried the little guy into the inner room.

The inside was also very simple. After entering the door, a large wooden bed was placed horizontally against the wall. At the foot of the bed was an old-fashioned wooden wardrobe with three doors. The ground was neatly paved with gray bricks. Old Yin saw that the drag marks disappeared in front of the bed. Obviously, there should be a basement under this bed, otherwise it couldn't be explained why the drag marks disappeared here.

Old Yin patted the edge of the bed and shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law Jiao! I am a policeman, are you below? Make a sound! There is no danger outside!"

But after he shouted, there was no echo. Old Yin thought that maybe the basement was too soundproof, so he gave up the idea of letting Jiao Jiao Laohan Jiao's wife come out by herself, walked forward, and slowly groped on the large wooden bed with his hands.

Old Yin groped for a long time and finally touched a slightly loose wooden board. With a hard press, the bed board slowly moved away, revealing a dark hole. A damp and decaying breath rushed toward his face.

Old Yin shouted a few more times, but there was still no response from below! Old Yin became vigilant, lifted little Zhang Qizhi on his back, and cautiously walked down the stairs.

The basement light was dim, with only a few oil lamps about to go out emitting a faint light. By the light of the lamps, Old Yin saw two figures curled up in the corner of the wall. Walking closer, it was indeed Luo Fei and Gao Ye, and the two seemed to be unconscious.

Old Yin didn't know what their condition was now. Just as he was about to walk over to take a closer look, his feet were tripped by something! He looked down and found that it was actually a person lying on the ground. Looking at the figure and clothing, it seemed to be Jiao Jiao Laohan Jiao's wife.

He squatted down and reached out to pat the woman on the ground, while whispering, "Sister-in-law Jiao!"

After a while, the woman's body moved, and then a low groan came out: "Ouch!"

Old Yin said happily, "Sister-in-law Jiao! You're awake! What's wrong with you?"

The woman on the ground let out a long breath, opened her eyes, and seeing it was Old Yin, couldn't help but say excitedly, "Officer! Officer! Quick! Quick, leave here! They! They are coming!"

Old Yin frowned and leaned over to help her up: "What's going on, Sister-in-law Jiao, tell me, are the people from the Supreme God coming?"

Seeing him say the name of the Supreme God, Sister-in-law Jiao stared with terrified eyes and said, "You! You know the Supreme God?" Then she said with incomparable vigilance, "How do you know?"

Old Yin said, "Sister-in-law Jiao, don't be afraid, it was confessed by that bald man Ceng Xiaohui! He has already been caught by me! Now he is locked on that old elm chair in your house!"

The woman then let out a long sigh of relief and said, "They are very evil! We didn't want to buy this little doll! It was them who forced us to raise it!"

Once these words came out, Old Yin was even more surprised! "What? This child wasn't bought by you?"

"Sigh! Where would we have spare money to buy a doll! This was all forced upon us by that wicked Ceng Xiaohui. Our village is remote, and there are several other families who are also raising these children of unknown origin for them."

Old Yin gasped. Could it be that the Supreme God distributes the children abducted from various places to these remote mountain villages to be raised? What is their purpose in doing this? And how do they control these villagers? Old Yin was full of questions. He looked at the woman and continued to ask, "Are you willing to help them?"

"Sigh! We don't want to do this kind of wicked thing either, but their so-called God Lord has some evil arts, very powerful! At first, our old man didn't want to help them, but they didn't know what evil arts they used, and the old man suddenly became dull and silly, as if he had gone crazy. I was so scared that I had to agree. Who knew that as soon as I agreed, the old man was fine! Then they demanded that we must look after this child, and when the time came, they would come to take it away themselves!"

"Oh!" Old Yin seemed to slowly see the essence of the Supreme God: it was a human trafficking group wearing a religious coat! Their method of distributing abducted children among villagers' homes was novel! But can they fool all the villagers just by relying on some so-called "evil arts"?

"How many people in your village are the same as you?" Old Yin asked. Sister-in-law Jiao said, "I don't know about this. They have their people in every village, so even if some families are helping them raise dolls, they don't dare to talk nonsense outside! But I also don't know how you knew about the doll in our house! Those people thought it was the news we leaked, and they forced our old man to death!"

"Oh?" Old Yin was stunned for a moment: "How did Brother Jiao die?"

"He! He, sigh!" When asked about this, Sister-in-law Jiao looked terrified and sad. She said with a trembling voice, "After you knew about the doll in our house, the day you came to ask and took photos of the doll, that very night, that damned Ceng Xiaohui brought three big men to our house. They forced us to confess, asking if we had called the police. We wanted to call the police, but we never dared! Naturally, we didn't admit it!"

"They separated the two of us, and then I heard the sound of beating coming from the next room. I knew they were beating the old man. I cried and begged them, but my old man had a stubborn temper. When he was beaten, he used brute force to push down one of the people who beat him, and then rushed out of the house, took a firewood chopper from the pigsty, and wanted to fight them to the death! Who knew, that damned person didn't know where he got a crossbow, and suddenly, suddenly shot it at the old man's face!"

"That shot didn't kill the old man. At that time, I rushed out like crazy, knelt on the ground, and begged them to spare us, but, but I didn't expect that the beast would strike again!" Sister-in-law Jiao said this, her eyes revealing a look of despair, as if she had returned to that terrible night!
