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."

The young man said this, Lin Yaner and I looked at each other and asked in unison: "Why are no one reporting the case after losing so many people? Are you kidding?"

"Call the police? It's useless. There are so many people missing here, so how can I not call the police? But after you call the police, the police will give you a remark, that these missing people must have gone out to work."

Following the young man back to his residence, he talked to us after sitting down.

This is a staff dormitory at a construction site. The employees living in this dormitory are built nearby and told the road.

The young man named Liu Fei. He took out a photo. The boy in the photo was sunny and handsome, holding a guitar, looking a little literary and fresh.

Liu Fei pointed to the photo and said to us: "This is Qi Wei, my classmates, two of you, he, a college student, may he go out to work secretly? Moreover, his family is well off, so he came here to play with me."

According to Liu Fei, Qi Wei and him were college classmates.

Liu Fei came to the construction site for an internship. Qi Wei also came here to find Liu Fei to play while he didn't have much schoolwork.

Last night, the two of them went to the village for midnight snack late at night. They had lunch for about one o'clock, and Qi Wei went to the woods to use the toilet.

It took a long time to find Qi Wei back. Liu Fei called Qi Wei and found that Qi Wei had turned off. Liu Fei felt something was wrong and hurried back to the construction site.

More than a dozen workers were called from the construction site and turned the woods upside down overnight. Even Zhaoxi Village and Mango Forest were searched, but no trace of Qi Wei was found.

Liu Fei contacted the school and Qi Wei's home, and the feedback on both sides was consistent: Qi Wei did not go back to school, nor did he go home, nor did he even contact anyone.

He disappeared from the world, silent and silent.

After searching for it in vain, Liu Fei chose to report the case. After finishing the record, the police asked him to go home and wait for the news, but he did not wait for any feedback.

Liu Fei couldn't sit still and decided to look for clues by himself. Then he met us while looking for clues.

I patted Liu Fei on the shoulder and said to him: "You don't have to be too anxious. For the missing case, the police will file a case for 48 hours. If Qi Wei has no news after 48 hours, the police will definitely send people to find it."

After hearing my comfort, Liu Fei was still worried: "There are too many missing cases here. I am worried that the police will be accustomed to it and will not pay attention to Qi Wei's disappearance."

"Don't worry, this is something that I have to pay attention to."

I patted my chest and promised Liu Fei that he would arrive.

Seeing my swearing look, Liu Fei looked me up and down a few times, and asked me with some suspicion: "Why do you guarantee that you are not a big shot? How do you guarantee that my case will be taken seriously?"

He might have seen us two wearing casual clothes, and in his eyes, they were just two ordinary passers-by, right? That's why he doubted my words?

It seems that it is time to show your identity, so I said, "Actually, we are..."

"A reporter from Xichuan Metropolis Daily."

Lin Yan'er suddenly answered and interrupted my words. I looked at her in surprise. I didn't know why she interrupted me, and I didn't know why she wanted to pretend to be a reporter. What is the medicine this little girl is selling?

"Are you reporters? Why are you here? This is a poor place with bad waters and no good news materials. What are you here to interview?"

Liu Fei frowned and expressed doubts about Lin Yan'er's words.

I glanced at Lin Yan'er and saw her winking at me, meaning that I wanted me to cooperate with her to act?

After a quick turn in my head, I plucked up the courage and started making up: "Because someone broke the news, there was a devil forest in Xi Village who could eat people, so we came and wanted to decipher the legend of the devil forest.

My attitude of telling lies without blushing makes Liu Fei stunned.

What's even more awesome is Lin Yan'er. She took out a card from her bag and said to Liu Fei: "Don't you believe it? This is our reporter's certificate, why don't you show it to you."

Liu Fei looked at the card in Lin Yan'er's hand and his eyes suddenly glowed: "Since you are reporters, I'll give you some big information."

Lin Yan'er and I looked at each other, and it seemed that Liu Fei had believed that we were reporters.

After pouring each of us a glass of water, Liu Fei said to us: "You two, wait a moment, I'll invite you a few people."

After saying that, he went out.

Seeing Liu Fei walk out, I lowered my voice and asked Lin Yaner: "Sister, is it really good for you to pretend to be a reporter like this? We are policemen. What's wrong with telling him directly that we are policemen?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that they have any objections to the police? If you tell me the identity, you can't investigate anything."

Lin Yan'er whispered.

What she said seemed to make sense. Liu Fei did have any objections to the police just now. If he knew that we were also policemen, he would definitely not have been so proactive and active in talking to us.

Although the idea is good, it is always wrong to impersonate a reporter. I asked Lin Yaner: "If he discovered that we were impersonating, I see how you can smooth things over?"

"Don't worry, I'll have a perfect solution!"

Lin Yan'er said with confidence that Liu Fei brought four or five middle-aged people in at this time. After the middle-aged people walked into the house, Liu Fei warmly greeted them to sit down.

We looked at the expressions of these middle-aged people and found that their faces were covered with clouds and their heads were dejected, as if they had some sad thoughts.

After everyone sat down, Liu Fei began to introduce us: "Uncles and aunts, these two are reporters from Xichuan Metropolis Daily. They came to understand the children's situation this time. Let's tell them if you have any grievances..."

Before Liu Fei could finish his words, the middle-aged men and women suddenly went crazy and knelt down from the chair, pulled our trouser legs and cried out. The room was in chaos in an instant. The middle-aged men and women were crying and talking, expressing that they wanted us to speak for them and find their sons for them. They were desperate and no one helped them.

We spent all our efforts to persuade these middle-aged men and women, and probably learned about the situation.

It turns out that these middle-aged men and women are all here to find their children. Almost all their sons are missing near the grove. Some parents have been looking for them for several years. In order to find their sons, the former millionaire is now making people neither human nor ghost nor ghost, and even mentally ill problems.

These parents lost all their money because they had no place to live and could only board the construction site. From their eyes, we saw gray despair, lifelessness, and no trace of vitality.

The parents took out photos of their sons missing, and the missing information was recorded on it, which made people unbearable to look at it:

"Qin Guanguan, born in 2002, was lost near the small forest of Zhaoxi Village late at night on May 13, 2014. He has not returned yet and is wearing a Nanxiang Middle School uniform."

"Mao Song, born in 1995, disappeared near Zhaoxi Village in mid-December 2015. He is now missing. He was covered with thousands of yuan in cash at that time and was suspected of being robbed and killed."

"Fu Qingbing, born in 1999, disappeared near the grove of Zhaoxi Village on February 14, 2017. He celebrated Valentine's Day with his girlfriend on the day of his disappearance. His girlfriend is a native of Zhaoxi Village and is now married."

"Wang Zihan was born in 2007 and was lost in Zhaoxi Village during the Spring Festival in 2018. He has reported his disappearance. He thought that his grandfather was a villager in Zhaoxi Village. Wang Zihan was lost when he returned to his grandfather's house to visit relatives and suspected that he was abducted and trafficked."
