It seemed that Xiao Ling had a quarrel with his father and then hung up the phone directly. Xiao Ling really didn't understand why his father didn't let him investigate Qin Village. It seemed that his father became agitated as soon as he heard that he was in Qin Village.

Xiao Ling's chest rose and fell slightly with anger before he took a breath. He forced a smile at Jun Li and Bai Ze: "Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

"It's true that there was a case in Sucun before, but it was a false report. Captain Jiang took the case on his own initiative fifteen years ago, but for some reason he was transferred back the same day... Oh, his mother was in a car accident."

Xiao Ling frowned, obviously realizing that this matter was extremely strange. Normally, even if it was a false report, the higher-ups wouldn't be alerted so quickly and called an emergency halt. Could it be that the higher-ups were hiding something...

I don't think so...

"Do you know the content of the false report?"

Jun Li asked with his hands in his pockets, and Xiao Ling immediately answered: "It was said that the girl was illegally detained by the villagers, but the content of the report was very ambiguous. He just said this sentence and hung up directly, so no one in the bureau took it seriously at the time. But Captain Jiang, you know that he has a strong sense of justice and would rather make mistakes than joke with human lives."

"Well, fifteen years ago, Officer Jiang came here alone to investigate the case of a young girl's detention, but was urgently stopped and returned empty-handed. Fifteen years later, he returned to Sumire Village again because of a phone call."

After Jun Li said this, it was obvious that everyone had discovered the problem. Jun Li pursed his lips and spoke softly, "Officer Jiang must not have returned empty-handed fifteen years ago! He must have discovered something and was urgently stopped by the higher-ups. We don't know the reason yet, but don't you think it's too coincidental?"

"Why was Officer Jiang called off when he came alone to investigate the case, and why did his mother also happen to be in a car accident?"

Of course Xiao Ling knew something was wrong but he had no reason to suspect that there was something wrong with the higher-ups. If it was really the higher-ups who were controlling everything, that would be too unbelievable. What secrets did Qin Village have that would be worth the higher-ups using such despicable means to conceal it?

"And I guess that someone with a strong sense of justice like Officer Jiang must feel very guilty for not being able to rescue the imprisoned girl fifteen years ago. Let me make another bold guess. Is it possible that he has found out where the girl is imprisoned and is about to rescue her? As a result..."

Because Jun Li had to explain the fact that there was a strange creature in the village targeting Jiang Jincheng, the only reasonable explanation was that Jiang Jincheng might have found the location where the girl was imprisoned, and he might even have been on the verge of success, but was urgently called back.

It seems that this undoubtedly directly destroyed the girl's hope, gave her hope and pushed her into despair. No wonder the girl became so cunning and tricked Jiang Jincheng back over the phone.

After all, Jiang Jincheng must have an obsession with Qincun, so he must be extremely sensitive to Qincun. He would definitely go there after receiving the call, and thus fall directly into Li Gui's trap of revenge.

This conjecture can also explain why Jiang Jincheng has a fierce and evil aura, but Li Gui has not harmed him for so many years. It seems that on the one hand, it takes time for Li Gui to form, and on the other hand, he has to find a way to trick Jiang Jincheng back.

Then the only question left is why Sumire's imprisonment of the girl alerted the people above, and what exactly did the people above order the police not to investigate Sumire in order to hide... Could it be that the people above were also related to Sumire's imprisonment of the girl...

"Can you find out which leader issued the ban? And then find out the relationship between that leader and Sumire. Only by finding out these things can we barely figure out what happened in Sumire."

Jun Li glanced at Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ling frowned for a long time before nodding: "Well, I'll try to get my friend to check it for me. It's very difficult to check this, and I can't alarm my dad."

"Why don't we go to the village first to see the situation? Instead of being timid like a thief, we should go directly to the village leader and put the evidence in front of him. However, we must be careful about what we say and do when we get to the village."

Bai Ze pinched his chin and thought for a moment: "We can't trust the villagers or the village chief in this village. First of all, according to what you just said, there was a case of a girl being imprisoned in the village fifteen years ago. Such a big case even alarmed the higher-ups. How could those villagers and the village chief not know about it?"

"They must be hiding something, and they may even be committing a crime together. But as to why they were able to get the people above them to help cover it up, I don't know."

Bai Ze also realized one thing, since Li Gui had already begun to retaliate against Jiang Jincheng, it meant that his revenge plan had just begun. Jiang Jincheng was the first one to suffer because of him because he failed to rescue Li Gui. So since the revenge had already begun, it meant that when they officially set foot on the land of Qin Village, they were destined to be involved in this Li Gui incident.

"Let's not talk about that. Let's go in and take a look at the situation first. Find a villager and ask where the village chief lives. I'm actually wondering if the village party secretary of this village can be trusted."

Jun Li sighed. After all, if such a big incident happened and the village party secretary didn't know about it, that would be a miracle. The people above were covering up for it, so the village party secretary would definitely not be in a good situation.

Several people have already prepared to act, and now they have to rely on their acting skills wherever they go. It is true that life is like a play and it all depends on acting skills.

A few people randomly grabbed a villager who was doing farm work, but the villager was busy and when he looked up and saw that they were a group of outsiders, he immediately became alert.

"You guys are looking for the village chief to mess with Mozi?"

The villager who was hoeing the field thrust the hoe hard into the ground and glanced up and down. Seeing that the men were dressed quite fashionably and obviously came from the city, he became more alert.

"We are a group of travel enthusiasts. We saw on the Internet that our Qin Village has done a good job in greening. The environment with birds singing and flowers blooming and the air are incomparable to those in big cities. So we came here to collect some scenery and so on."

Xiao Ling shook the camera around his neck and seeing that the villagers were still alert, he went straight up and turned on the camera.

"Look... this is a landscape photo I took in Hangzhou... this is a photo of Hongcun in Anhui... this is a photo I took in Jingdezhen..."

The villagers' expressions softened after seeing the photos and selfies. He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "The village chief's house is over there. You outsiders must report to our village when you come here. Then ask the village chief to arrange accommodation for you at night. Don't run around at night. There are wild wolves in our Qin village at night. We are not responsible if you get bitten!"

"Hey, thanks uncle! We came here directly to say hello to the village chief. We mainly want to ask if there are any beautiful or famous scenery in Qin Village. It's not easy to come here, so we must want to take some nice photos to take back, don't you think?"

"That's right. Then go ahead. If you don't know the way, ask someone else. Don't just wander around the village, okay?"

The villager picked up the hoe, but looked at them worriedly before continuing to bend down to hoe the ground.

"Eh! Got it, uncle!"
