strange neighbor

This is a small village where the houses are neatly located, and there are farm houses on both sides of the straight path.

Qingqing leaned against Xiaolu tightly, a little scared: "What time is it, why are these people asleep?"

Xiao Lu turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked at these farm houses. There was no light coming through. It seemed that everyone had already rested. He looked down at his watch, and it was only 08:30: "Maybe because people go to work very early in the daytime, so You also need to go to bed earlier at night."

He Xiaozhou walked beside Luo Tian, ​​holding his arm with both hands: "Xiao Tian, ​​do you feel something is wrong here?"

"What's the matter?" Luo Tian's eyes kept wandering around the yards of these houses, he wanted to see which one had a car, so he could borrow some gas, at least to the nearest gas station.

"I don't know, I can't tell. It's just a feeling. I'm so scared."

"It's okay, I'm here, baby, don't be afraid." Luo Tian said casually.

He Xiaozhou nodded, and grabbed Luo Tian's arm even tighter.

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening in the distance. Several people were overjoyed and ran towards the sound, just in time to see a figure standing at the gate, who seemed to be locking the door.

"Brother—" Luo Tian called out, but the man continued to move his hands as if he didn't hear him.

"Big brother, hello big brother, we are passing through Hangzhou, the car is out of gas, and I want to stay for one night."

Hearing that, the man stopped what he was doing: "You want to borrow?"

His voice was hoarse as if he had swallowed gravel, which was very uncomfortable.

"Yes, I hope it will be convenient for you, we will not live in vain."

The man was silent for a long time, Luo Tian thought he would refuse, so he replied: "Then come with me."

The man opened the door, and several people walked in behind him, seeing the dark outline of the house in front of them by the moonlight.

The man took them to the side room, opened the door and pointed inside: "You guys sleep here tonight, don't go out in the middle of the night."

Without waiting for their response, he walked straight back to his house.

"This person is so strange." Qingqing muttered softly.

Luo Tian walked in the door first, and reached out his hand to touch the light switch on the wall: "Okay, it's good to live in some places, don't care if he's surprised or not."

"Hey, why is there no light?"

He searched for a long time but couldn't find the switch. He took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and searched around the wall with the faint light. Sure enough, there was no light switch, including no light bulbs on the ceiling.

After several people entered the house, they found that there was no bed in the house. Now Qingqing was really upset: "Why are you sleeping here?"

The rest of the people were also in trouble. The weather was already very cold. Not only was there no air conditioner here for heating, but now there was even no place to sleep. Luo Tian sighed, pulled He Xiaozhou over, and then took off his coat and covered it between the two. They leaned against the corner of the wall together: "Let's deal with it for one night first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

He Xiaozhou leaned against Luo Tian and nodded and closed his eyes, Qingqing was still angry, seeing that the two of them had fallen asleep and rolled their eyes, Xiao Lu kept coaxing her in a low voice, but Qingqing didn't appreciate it at all, so it's okay to coax her After a while, little Lu Suo leaned against the corner and closed his eyes.

Qingqing was so angry that she saw that everyone was asleep, but she couldn't move her face and moved closer to Xiao Lu's side, so she sat a little farther away and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Qingqing woke up, because she heard an inexplicable rustling sound, which seemed to be right next to her ears. She didn't know when the moon disappeared, and the surroundings were too quiet, except for the rustling sound Besides, she couldn't even hear her companion's breathing, and felt a little flustered, so she tried to move closer to Xiao Lu.

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums outside, a lively scene, but for some reason, it made her feel eerie. The sound seemed to be at the window, as if a group of people were squatting under the window and beating drums. Really scared, swallowed, and slowly moved to Xiao Lu's side.

She stretched out her hand and shook Xiao Lu twice, but he was completely asleep, showing no sign of waking up at all, and Luo Tian and He Xiaozhou on the other side didn't respond either. How could this be? They listened to such a big movement can't you?

"Xiao Lu—Xiao Lu—" she called softly twice.

"Hush——" Suddenly, someone shushed her from the position of her left ear, and her hairs stood on end immediately, and cold sweat rushed from her spine to her neck. She froze all over and did not dare to move.

Little Lu Mingming is on her right, who is on the left?

A drop of sweat trickled down from his forehead.

It's been half a month, and Ding Shijin's injuries are almost healed, but there are still some scabs on the skin, but they are all on the body, and they can't be exposed.

Jiang Duo seemed to be used to staying at his house, so he ran to his house, Ding Shijin looked at the man who had placed a spell on the coffee table and said, "Your medicine..."

Jiang Duo was practicing a new spell, he was stunned when he heard this: "What medicine?"

It took a while to realize: "Oh...that medicine, what's wrong?"

Ding Shijin touched the tip of his nose: "Bring it here when you have time."

Jiang Duo was stunned for a while and then laughed: "Would Ah Jin fry it for me?"

"For the sake of taking care of me."

Jiang Duo looked at Ding Shijin's indifferent face, rolled his eyes with an imperceptible awkward smile, and nodded, "Thank you, Ajin, for giving me the opportunity to take care of you."

Ding Shijin rolled his eyes at him and said something was wrong.

Jiang Duo was still talking, when suddenly the phone on the coffee table vibrated, it was from Team Liu, Jiang Duo hung up without thinking.

But Liu Dui continued to call without hesitation, and Ding Shijin frowned when he saw this: "Why didn't you answer?"

"It must be nothing good." Jiang Duo said with a headache, but having said that, he finally picked up the phone. Sure enough, nothing good happened. The more Jiang Duo listened, his expression became more serious, and he was about to leave after hanging up the phone.

Ding Shijin has been observing his expression: "Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

Not long after Jiang Duo left, his cell phone rang, new job?

What is more surprising is that this call was made by people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I don't know where they got his contact information. I hope he can cooperate with the investigation of a disappearance case.

If it was a simple disappearance case, he would definitely not be found. After the explanation of the person on the other end of the phone, he knew the seriousness of the matter. Half a month ago, a boy named Luo was in a small town near Hangzhou The town called the police, saying that he and his companions were going on a self-driving tour. At night, because the car ran out of gas, they found a small village to live in. Unexpectedly, when they woke up the next morning, they found that all three of their companions had disappeared. Not only that , Even the host who brought them into the house the night before disappeared. He suspected that his companion had been kidnapped by human traffickers while he was sleeping. After searching around but not finding anyone, he hurried to the town to report to the police.

However, when the policemen in the town heard the location of the village where he was staying, their complexions turned ugly for a moment. They first appeased the boy surnamed Luo, then took notes as usual, and quickly reported the news upwards.

Because that village...has been deserted for three years.

Going with Ding Shijin was a little policeman, surnamed Yu, an intern who had just graduated. After picking up Ding Shijin in a low-key Volkswagen car, the two rushed to the small village.

There was a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village, and there was a man standing under the tree, wearing a coat and crisp suit pants, with a tall and straight figure, looking up at the tree with his back to them.

Ding Shijin squinted at the man's dazzling blond hair, and said two words silently: "Jiang Duo?"

Officer Yu didn't hear it, and had already parked the car and opened the door. It happened that Jiang Duo also turned around, holding a compass in his hand.

"Brother Duo!" Police Officer Yu shouted happily, his eyes were particularly bright.

Jiang Duo smiled, patted Police Officer Yu's arm, then turned his head to the car again, stunned: "In that car..."

Only then did Police Officer Yu remember that there was another person in the car, and he slapped his head: "It's broken, Brother Duo, wait a minute."

As he said that, he ran towards the direction of the co-pilot. Ding Shijin just took his bag and pushed open the car door. He was very surprised at the reaction of the little police officer when he saw Jiang Duo, and jumped out like a rabbit.

Seeing that he had gotten out of the car and came over, Police Officer Yu quickly introduced to the two of them, "Let me introduce to you, this is Jiang Duo, a special operator in our bureau."

Then he turned his hand to Ding Shijin: "This is... um... the specially hired operative this time, Ding Shijin."

Jiang Duo raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Ding, may I call you Ajin?"

Ding Shijin didn't stretch out his hand, but lowered his eyes to look at his hand, then turned to Jiang Duo's smiling face: "No."

Jiang Duo followed behind Ding Shijin: "Why? Does the name Ajin have any special meaning to you?"

Ding Shijin turned a deaf ear and was childish in his heart.

Officer Yu stared blankly at Jiang Duo chasing after Ding Shijin's buttocks like a flower with a smile on his face, and quickly walked a few steps to keep up. The three of them walked while listening to Officer Yu repeating the reporter's transcript And things about this small village.

It turned out that this small village fell down overnight. No one knew what happened that night three years ago. It was only when a married girl returned to her natal home the next day that she found that there was no one in the whole village. The doors of every house are open, and it looks like the owner's house is there, but she just went out temporarily for something, and she will come back soon, but she waited until the evening and didn't see anyone, so she had no choice but to follow. Pick up her husband and go back to her in-law's house.

"Three years ago?" Jiang Duo asked.

"Yes, the comrades at the town's police station said that this was a big deal at the time. They all had files, but they couldn't find any clues, so they had to suppress it first."

Jiang Duo nodded and did not speak. Maybe he is a little sensitive to the word three years. The master disappeared three years ago. The Yin soldiers were first summoned three years ago, and the villagers in this small village were also three years ago. It evaporated overnight, does all this matter...
