In the short time it took Tian Xiaohui to look up, Ye Yun was no longer there at the bottom of the slope; only a wooden bucket lay crookedly and forlornly in the vegetable garden.

She called out curiously, "Sister-in-law?"

No one answered.

Tian Xiaohui panicked, thinking of the recent murderer, and hurriedly ran down the slope to look for Ye Yun's whereabouts. However, when she ran to the vegetable garden, she couldn't find Ye Yun at all.

"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law!!"

Tian Xiaohui called out while anxiously searching, but there was no sign of Ye Yun anywhere.

"broken!"

Tian Xiaohui immediately picked up the wooden bucket and ran into the mountains, following the mountain path in an attempt to find Ye Yun's whereabouts, calling out Ye Yun's name as she ran into the mountains.

Just then, Qin Zheng returned and saw Tian Xiaohui's anxious figure searching from afar.

"Tian Xiaohui!"

Qin Zheng sensed something was wrong from Tian Xiaohui's tone, and seeing her face flushed with anxiety, he quickly pedaled past.

"Brother Qin Zheng! Your wife is missing!"

As soon as Tian Xiaohui saw Qin Zheng, tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Zheng threw down his old bicycle, rushed over, grabbed Tian Xiaohui's shoulder, and shouted sternly, "What's going on! Where's your sister-in-law!"

Tian Xiaohui's face turned red with anxiety, and she trembled with fear as she said, "I...I don't know. She went out to empty the water from washing vegetables and put it at her own doorstep, and suddenly she disappeared..."

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she squatted down and covered her face with her hands, crying.

Qin Zheng looked at her with reddened eyes. Thinking of the serial killer Zheng Song had recently told her about, the veins on his forehead trembled violently. He went home, grabbed his weapon, and went out.

He first checked the situation in the vegetable garden, then followed the trail into the mountains.

"Tian Xiaohui! Go to town and find Zheng Song!"

Qin Zheng gave the order before entering the mountain.

Tian Xiaohui didn't dare to delay and hurriedly rode her old bicycle to find Zheng Song.

Qin Xiang'e rushed back from the fields after hearing the news. When she heard that Ye Yun was missing, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly went to her neighbors to call for help.

The neighbors, who usually got along well with Ye Yun, immediately grabbed their weapons when they heard that Ye Yun was missing.

They had also heard about the murderer, so Ye Yun's sudden disappearance must mean she had been kidnapped by the murderer!

If we find it sooner, maybe we can save it!

Almost the entire West Team set off, for they all remembered Qin Zheng's kindness!

Before long, Lü Guohua also hurriedly led the large group to the mountain. They held a meeting with the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and together they grabbed their tools and rushed up the mountain.

The traces that extended from the vegetable garden disappeared as soon as they entered the mountains.

There were paths everywhere, and everywhere there were traces of people walking on them, making it impossible to tell where Ye Yun had been taken.

"Separate teams to search!"

Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and, relying on his instincts, took the lead, grabbing his weapon and diving into the woods.

Qin Xiang'e also led her people to the other side.

Erdanzi quickly followed Qin Zheng's lead, carrying a hoe that was half his height, and went deeper into the mountains with Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was covered in sweat, but it couldn't mask his immense anxiety.

The thorns in the mountains tore his exposed ankles. He was walking in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the road conditions. Large patches of blood seeped from his wheat-colored calves, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound.

Keep walking, keep walking...

But there are still no clues!

In the chaotic mountains, it was so quiet that it was as if no one had ever been there.

young married woman……

Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and walked forward, his eyes, beneath his thick eyebrows, swirling with intense blood red. The veins on his hand gripping the shovel were bulging, and his fierce gaze made him look like a demon on the verge of despair.

If he couldn't find Ye Yun, he estimated he would become a madman for the rest of his life!

"Brother Zheng, don't you think there's something fishy about what your wife did?"

Erdanzi behind him spoke with a puzzled look. Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's sharp gaze instantly turned towards Erdanzi.

Erdanzi was startled by his gaze. "Brother Zheng, what's wrong with you...?"

Qin Zheng's expression was indescribable. At this moment, he was like a wild beast whose life treasure had been taken away, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was so ferocious that it was terrifying.

"What's so strange about that?"

Qin Zheng had no idea how frightening his expression looked; he was only thinking about Erdanzi's words.

Erdanzi scratched his short hair and asked, puzzled, "Brother Zheng, this is what I'm thinking. If he really is that murderer, why is he so arrogant? Several towns are looking for him now. He's not only not hiding, but he even dares to come to the village to kidnap people?"

Qin Zheng stopped in his tracks.

Erdanzi's statement is somewhat inaccurate. Desperate criminals are often more daring and have no intention of hiding. When they are driven to desperation, they may even commit further acts of violence and defy the law without restraint.

But Erdanzi's words reminded him.

That's right, his wife disappeared right at their doorstep.

Before leaving, he carefully reminded Ye Yun not to go out and to wait for him to come home so he could do it with her.

The fact is that Ye Yun did not go out.

Tian Xiaohui said that Ye Yun was just watering the wild vegetables and herbs she had planted at the bottom of the slope at the gate.

Even if a desperate criminal wants to commit a crime, he will find the right time and place.

Instead of brazenly running to the villager's doorstep to kidnap people.

What's going on...?

What exactly happened...?

Qin Zheng gripped the shovel handle tightly, gritting his teeth. What exactly went wrong?

I was extremely anxious, and the more anxious I became, the more chaotic things got.

He, who was usually calm and collected, was flustered by Ye Yun and lost his usual composure and wisdom, and for a moment he could not figure out what the problem was.

Just then, a blurry black shadow suddenly rushed past in front of us!

Qin Zheng and Erdanzi, both children raised in the mountains, immediately tensed up and cast sharp glances at each other.

"who!"

Qin Zheng rushed over immediately.

Seeing this, Erdanzi hurriedly picked up his hoe and followed Qin Zheng's steps. He tripped and fell flat on his face, but he didn't care. He quickly got up and chased after Qin Zheng.

The dark figure ahead was running very fast.

They ran for their lives.

Judging from his skillful movements, he was actually quite familiar with this terrain.

The movement was quick and agile.

Qin Zheng was no pushover either. Having grown up in these mountains, he knew them intimately and relentlessly pursued them!

Finally, in front of a large, leaning tree, he suddenly leaped over the man.

Bang!

Qin Zheng kicked the man so hard he rolled several times.

The man was covered in fallen leaves and twigs. Qin Zheng nimbly climbed onto him and slammed his fist down hard.

"ah!"

A series of screams rang out, and they sounded somewhat familiar. Qin Zheng's eyes widened in horror, and he stopped his fist from striking again. When he saw the familiar face of the person, his expression suddenly froze.

"Why is it you?"
