To be honest, if I say that I don't want to know the whereabouts of Zhang Qishan, I would be lying. Although I have never mentioned this matter in front of anyone for such a long time, it does not mean that I have forgotten it. After all, I still remember vividly everything that happened at that time, and those painful memories are also an irreparable scar in my life.
During this time in the special case team, I came into contact with many things or people and forces that I had never come into contact with before. At the same time, I also had many speculations about Zhang Qishan's departure. But no matter how I speculated, Zhang Qishan's identity was on the dark side, and speculation could never compare to facts. So now that I suddenly saw this passage on the note, I felt like my whole body was boiling! Because if the person wearing the evil ghost mask was really the person I guessed, he might really know the whereabouts of Zhang Qishan!
I stood there in a daze for a long time, then took out my phone to check the time, turned around and asked Lin Yingxue, "How long has Brother Long been out? Why didn't he come back?"
Lin Yingxue was also in a daze. I called her several times before she responded. She calmed down a little and said, "It should have been about ten minutes. Did something happen?"
"Impossible. Brother Long's skills are definitely not enough to let him fall into the hands of the masked man. He must have caught up with the target, or found a way to capture the target. I'll call him later to see how he's doing."
I'm a little depressed now. Every time we encounter trouble, Bai Longfei always disappears at the first opportunity. You know, we feel insecure when he is not here.
Lin Yingxue nodded, then handed me the paper, looked at me with an indescribable look and said, "Do you think the person wearing the evil ghost mask is Zhang Qishan himself?"
Not only Lin Yingxue had this idea, but I also had the same idea when I saw the note. But although this possibility exists, it is not absolute. I didn't know how to answer Lin Yingxue for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
"If it's really Zhang Qishan, will you arrest her?"
I really didn't know how to answer this question for a while. If the person wearing the evil ghost mask was really Zhang Qishan, should I arrest her? At present, it seems that she has always been targeting me, but Lin Yingxue's teacher also died because of this incident. If Lin Yingxue and I don't identify her crime, we have no right to arrest her. I might even persuade her to turn back, stay away from the organization behind her, and then give up everything and take Diandian to a place where no one knows us and live a happy life as before.
But is it really like this? Not to mention whether she can come back, can I really go back to the carefree days with her
When I thought of this question, I couldn't help but look up at Lin Yingxue in front of me. Although her expression was still cold, her eyes made me feel an extremely resentful feeling. And the moment I saw her eyes, the days after I found Zhang Qishan that I imagined in my heart were like a shattered lens, completely shattered and finally disappeared.
"It shouldn't be her, and even if it is her, I will take care of everything. Do you believe me?"
As we were talking, I couldn't help but reach out and touch Lin Yingxue's head. She first looked at me blankly for a while, then gradually smiled and reached out to gently grasp my hand. However, at the moment she grasped my hand, I suddenly discovered that there was something extra on her wrist. She also noticed that I was staring at her wrist, and her pretty face immediately blushed. She quickly took her hand back and covered her wrist with her sleeve.
The atmosphere, which had been relaxed, became a little awkward again. I took out my cell phone and called Bai Longfei, wanting to ask him what was going on. After all, he had been out for more than ten minutes. However, Bai Longfei did not answer my call. This situation had happened several times before. It should be that it was not convenient for him to answer the phone at this time.
Since Bai Longfei was not available to answer the phone, I hung up. At the moment of hanging up the phone, I suddenly realized something. I walked out of the room and stood at the door, looking puzzledly at the room where the village chief and his wife lived. Lin Yingxue also noticed this and asked puzzledly: "With such a big commotion just now, why didn't the village chief and his wife react? Could something have happened?"
As Lin Yingxue said this, the two of us hurried to the door of the village chief's room and knocked hard. However, after knocking for a long time, there was still no movement from inside. Just as I was about to break in, the village chief's lazy voice came from inside the room: "Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong?"
Hearing the village chief's voice, Lin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Village chief, someone just broke the glass in our room, didn't you hear it?"
"No, how can I hear those noises when I'm asleep? Go to sleep quickly and don't cause any trouble for me in the middle of the night!"
After he finished speaking, there was no more movement in the village chief's room. Lin Yingxue turned around and said, "It looks like they are fine."
I looked at the dark gate of the courtyard in front of me with a serious face and said, "You are wrong. They are in big trouble!"
There was such a loud noise just now, I don't believe that the village chief who lives in the room next to mine didn't hear it at all! Even if he really didn't hear it, why didn't he say anything when we knocked on the door, but he already knew that it was us who knocked on the door? Obviously, he had heard the noise a long time ago, and had been pretending to sleep and eavesdropping on the noise outside.
Thinking of this, I immediately walked out of the village chief's house and came to the road to the village, then started screaming like crazy. At first, Lin Yingxue didn't know why I did this, but after I screamed several times in a row, she slowly began to get nervous.
Because I stood in the village and shouted like this in the middle of the night, but there was no response at all. Not to mention that someone came out, there was not even a light or a sound of inquiry! It was as if Zhaojia Village had become a ghost village!
Seeing that there was no response despite my shouting, Lin Yingxue took out the pistol I had given her from her pocket and fired a shot into the sky. The sound of the gunshot was deafening in the dark night. The huge gunshots kept echoing back and forth in the village, but there was still no movement in the village. It was as silent as death.
At this point I finally understood everything. I had been thinking in the morning that the masked man gave the village chief money, firstly to give me the key clues to the case arranged by Qiongqi, and secondly to let the village chief find a way to drive us out and let us fall into his trap.
Now it seems that there should be a third reason, which is to shut up the village chief and let him inform the whole village that no matter what happens tonight, they must not come out. It is even very likely that the whole village has become the helper of the masked man and wants to unite to kill us! Moreover, they seemed to have held a separate meeting with the village chief in the afternoon. Although they said at the time that the content of the meeting was mainly to discuss how to deal with the funeral of the two dead, it now seems that the content of their meeting is likely to be how to target the three of us tonight!
If it was just the masked man alone, even if he had weapons or guns in his hands, I wouldn't worry that Bai Longfei would be in danger. But now if the power of the entire village is added, then I have to start to worry!
"Bring out the village chief! Find out what they did!"
After understanding the truth of the matter, Lin Yingxue and I immediately turned around and went to the door of the village chief's room. Lin Yingxue was not so polite this time. She kicked the door of the village chief's room open. Then we both rushed in and turned on the lights in the village chief's house. But at this time, I found that the village chief, who had just been talking to us in the room, had disappeared in the room!
"Where are the people? I didn't hear anyone coming out just now!" Lin Yingxue said anxiously while looking inside the room.
I walked forward and touched the messy quilt on the kang. The temperature inside was still very hot. He must have just left not long ago. However, he did not leave through the main door. So I immediately walked forward and checked all the furniture against the wall in the room. Soon I found a small door on the wall behind the cupboard. At this time, the small door was open. It was obvious that the village chief and his wife must have escaped through this small door just now!
"What should we do? Should we chase after him?"
Lin Yingxue and I came out of the small door and found that we had arrived at a secluded corner behind the village chief's house. However, there was only one road in this corner, and the village chief must have escaped from this road.
"It's useless to catch him. The person who wants to kill us is the masked man. Even if we catch the village chief, he won't be merciful to us because of the village chief! But I don't know whether the village chief is running away from us or preparing to gather everyone to kill us tonight?"
I stood outside the corner with a frown, looking at the sky, and Lin Yingxue said, "Anyway, I think it's very dangerous for us to stay here now. Bai Longfei must have the ability to protect himself, but we are not that strong. I think we should leave Zhaojia Village as soon as possible. After we leave, we can find a way to contact Bai Longfei. Without us as a burden, Bai Longfei should be able to escape smoothly."
I knew that what Lin Yingxue was talking about was our only way out. Although I was a little unwilling, I still agreed with Lin Yingxue. While following Lin Yingxue along the road towards our car in the direction of the exit, I sent a text message to Bai Longfei, explaining our current situation.
Soon, we arrived at our car smoothly. We didn't run into anyone along the way, nor did we encounter any danger. But just as we opened the car door and prepared to drive away, a voice that petrified me suddenly came from the dark village: "Xiao Wenwen, are you really so cruel to leave with this woman? Do you really not want me anymore?"
