Hit ghost

When the child appeared in front of them, everyone was stunned for a moment, the air froze all of a sudden, only the faint cough echoed among them.

"Ji Duan! Find the door quickly, these children are too weak!" Xie Jin came back to his senses, and hurriedly searched with a flashlight. The door of the dog cage was directly in front, closed by a rusty iron lock.

"It's still locked? It's really not a thing." Ji Duan cursed secretly, and went forward to shake the iron door. The lock was not a decoration. Although there were a lot of rust, it still locked the iron door tightly. .

"Tongtong, go up and ask Wang Zhong for the key, although he may not give it to you." Wen Liang commanded in an orderly manner, and he looked at Ji Duan again, "It's useless to shake the door, go to the side to see if there is any way." Useful stuff."

Ji Duan didn't refute him, and turned around to search for the pile of sundries, trying to find a tool that could pry open the iron lock from this dark underground secret room.

But he couldn't find anything until his body was covered with dust. Except for old clothes and some weird statues in the pile of debris in the basement, after searching for a long time, he only found a small piece of wire.

Holding the wire, Ji Duan stood expressionlessly in front of the dog cage. He had seen scenes in movies where the wire was used to pry open the door, but in real life, could it really be done?

"Give it to me, I'll do it." Wen Liang patted Ji Duan on the shoulder, took the wire from his hand, saw Ji Duan looking at him with distrust, he waved his hand, "Why? People are walking in the rivers and lakes, There is always something to work on.”

He broke the wire into an arc and inserted both ends into the keyhole respectively. Wen Liang squatted down and fiddled with the small hole. His hands were flexible and proficient, it was not like the first time he did this kind of thing.

With a "click", the iron lock bounced open, because the dog cage was not big, Xie Jin, who was the shortest among the three, got in first, followed by Zhang Chi, who was even thinner.

Xie Jin knelt on the ground and checked the children closest to him. They were all in a coma due to dehydration and hunger. He picked up the children and turned around with difficulty from the cage, and handed them to the two people outside the cage.

And Zhang Chi squeezed into this small place with limited capacity, identifying the faces of the children one by one.

No no!No Yingying!

Zhang Chi was extremely anxious, and he didn't dare to use too much force in his hands. He could only patiently pass the identified children to Xie Jin one by one.

While looking at a boy, Zhang Chi heard the sound of weeping. He thought the voice was very familiar. After pushing the boy aside, he found that there was a girl curled up in the corner facing the boy!

"Yingying? Yingying!" Zhang Chi was about to cry, he pulled the girl into his arms, "Brother has been looking for you for a long time! Finally, I finally found you!"

The girl was only five or six years old, and her small face was darkened somewhere, but compared to other children's sunken faces from hunger, her face was still round.

"Brother...Brother, I'm so scared." Zhang Xingying was buried in his brother's weak embrace, trembling uncontrollably, "Little brother, he hasn't talked to me for a long time, his body is turning ice, and I'm the only one left here Man, everyone is asleep..."

Zhang Chi picked up his sister, tears welled up in his eyes, and soon wet most of his face. He didn't speak, his body became cold, and he fell asleep. Yingying still couldn't understand the concept of death, but was trapped in such a basement that never saw the light of day. Zhang Chi felt angry, but also grateful.

Mao Yao crawled out of the cage. He saw Xie Jin kneeling on the ground to feed the newly rescued boy. Zhang Chi was holding Zhang Xingying all the time. He heard Xie Jin call the boy "Cheng Xin".

"You guys, do you know him?" Zhang Chi spent too much energy being chased by monsters before, and now he is hugging his sister again, feeling that his arms are so sore that he can't use his strength, so he can only put Zhang Xingying down first, and hold on tightly that little hand.

"It's a kid who sells second-hand electrical appliances in the flea market." Ji Duan held the phone in his hand and pointed the camera at the children who were crooked on the ground. "I didn't expect him to be here."

Xie Jin untied Cheng Xin's terribly dirty clothes. His skinny body was covered with beating marks. Not only was his body dehydrated but also bruised. It's hard to imagine what this child went through from his disappearance to his discovery.

"Xinxin, Xinxin, can you hear me?" He held the boy on the back of the head and gave him some water. Although Cheng Xin was unconscious, she could still swallow when she came into contact with the water. Logically speaking, it should be It's nothing serious, it should be the sequelae of long-term nervous tension.

"No, I can't wake up." Xie Jin had no choice but to lay the boy down and get up to see the other children. They only brought a small amount of food and two bottles of water when they came out this time, so they had to follow the dehydrated child first.

When they took turns transporting the children from the underground secret room to the ground, Tong Tong poked out half of his head from the room of the veteran Wang Zhong: "Wen Liang, that guy passed out, don't worry about him?"

"No need, what kind of inside-biting pill, I was fooled by him." Wen Liang didn't have the time to care about Guan Wang Zhong, he just glanced at Tongtong lightly, his eyes were full of cunning, "You are responsible for keeping an eye on him, Tie it tight and don't let him get away."

Tongtong seemed to be a little speechless, he shrank back to the room and waited for orders.

In front of the sinful alchemy furnace, Yu Yu thoughtfully laid a few old sheets that he found somewhere, and the children who were rescued lay on it, and some of them began to wake up gradually after being exposed to fresh air. Zhang Xingying is one of them.

The little girl has been lying in her brother's arms since she came up from the ground, staring at the fainted friends in front of her with wet eyes, without saying a word.

"Yingying, are you alright?" Zhang Chi squeezed the little girl's fleshy hand and said worriedly, "I was just now... I saw that little boy named Cheng Xin protecting you inside, can you tell brother How did you meet him?"

Cheng Xin was at their feet, with his mouth slightly open, breathing in the fresh air with some difficulty. Zhang Xingying's eyes fell on his face, and he nodded.

"I met my little brother here, because I was always crying, so the bad guy wanted to take me away. It was my little brother who stood in front of me, and he was beaten."

Zhang Xingying spoke intermittently. Although the statement was very simple, the speaker had no intention of listening to it. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of torture Cheng Xin experienced during the process.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." Zhang Chi was already in tears, he sniffled, and hugged his sister tighter, "If it wasn't for him, you might have... don't talk, just live. "

Zhang Chi's tears wet Zhang Xingying's floral dress. He knew he was wrong. Although there was an alchemy furnace with children's corpses behind him, he was not a saint. He could only find his living sister by luck. Just feel lucky for that.

The night of the low-rise buildings in the old city was broken by the sirens of police cars and ambulances. Because too many lives were involved this time, there were more than ten ambulances alone. Xie Jin also voluntarily quit the live broadcast after hearing the sirens. The three of them As an adult present, move the children to the door, and try to prevent them from seeing the purgatory-like scene in the alchemy furnace as much as possible.

Xie Jin also called Cheng Zaimin who was taking care of the old mother in the hospital after all this was done, and told him that the child had been found, and now Cheng Zaimin was probably on his way here.

"Don't move, are you reporting the crime?" The police car braked suddenly in front of the unit building, and a leading policeman jumped out of the car. Because the report call said that there was a serious murder here, he came here in full armor.

The muzzle of the dark gun was aimed at the three of them. Xie Jin stood at the front and could see that the gun was loaded.

The police, the gun, the brightly lit night... Xie Jin felt a sharp pain in his eyes, followed by ringing in his ears. His movement of covering his head with his hands caught the attention of the police, and all the raised guns pointed at him. over him.

"He's not the murderer...Wen Liang, what are you talking about?!" Ji Duan almost subconsciously stood in front of Xie Jin to explain, but he realized that ordinary people couldn't see him, so he turned his head to ask Wen Liang for help, " Say something for him, Xie Jin is sick again!"

"Comrade police, you have misunderstood." Wen Liang gestured OK to him in the dark, and rushed to Xie Jin with a few strides, "We are the informants, as to why we are here, it's a long story , why don't you rush to rescue the children first? Let's go to the bureau to have a chat?"

The captain-looking policeman standing at the front raised his eyebrows. After so many years of reporting, this was the first time he saw someone who asked to go to the police station to talk to him. This person was actually a strangely dressed Taoist priest.

"Taoist?" He put away his gun, and gestured to the other criminal police guards on both sides. These people walked around Xie Jin and Wen Liang and rushed in to the room at the scene of the first crime.

Wen Liang nodded, and shrugged as if raising his hands: "Yes, I am just an ordinary enthusiastic citizen passing by. You can check the Jincheng Academy of Fine Arts incident on the intranet. It was also a huge murder case that we cooperated with the local police to solve. .”

What a caring citizen.

The captain-looking policeman sneered in his heart, and he heard Wen Liang ask again, "By the way, what's your last name, police officer?"

"Lu Xiao, deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Tanjiang City Public Security Bureau." Deputy Lu shook hands with Wen Liang politely, "Now we are going to investigate the scene of the crime, please go ahead."

"Are we going too?" Wen Liang glanced across Xie Jin's face inadvertently, then grinned and smiled at Deputy Captain Lu, "Come on, even your police look like that in there, you think it's inhumane, there's no need to let the two of us Ordinary people read it again?"

The gentle and slick explanation made Vice Captain Lu want to refute. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, there was a burst of electricity from the walkie-talkie strapped to his waist, and then a criminal police voice came from inside: "Vice Captain Lu! Come quickly! ! Here... here is, I can't describe it, so hurry up and come in and have a look!"

Deputy Lu was silent for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at his gentle and respectful face, and replied, "Okay, I got it, I'll be here right away."

He stuffed the walkie-talkie back into his pocket, and waved to a criminal policeman who was on standby in the car. Wen Liang saw the criminal policeman running over, and kept nodding his head frequently following Deputy Commander Lu's instructions.

"Then I'll go in first, you two wait here first, and we'll go to the city bureau to take notes later, thank you for your cooperation." Deputy Lu took another deep look at Wen Liang before turning around and entering the unit, to make sure that he would not mess up After running, this cautiously ran into the house.

"Hey, let me say." Seeing the criminal policeman return to the car, Wen Liang patted Xie Jin on the shoulder, and found that the man was still shaking, "I found out at Jincheng Academy of Fine Arts before, are you very afraid of the police? "

Xie Jin's body froze, the thing that he had feared in his heart for many years was hit by someone's word, and now he doesn't even know what to think about.

But Wen Liang didn't intend to let Xie Jin go this time. He grabbed Xie Jin's thin shoulder with one hand, and his eyes were confusing, as if he wanted to see through everything about Xie Jin.

"Xie Jin, why are you afraid of the police? Have you done anything that deserves the police's special attention?"
