“Really? Didn’t Erya’s mother say before that her nephew was missing? It seems like he hasn’t been found yet.” After hearing this, Wang Hongjie’s expression became serious.

"Haven't you found anyone yet?" Su Miaomiao frowned.

"Yes, I heard that everyone in the village helped to look for it for three days, but no one was found, and neither was the body." Wang Hongjie sighed.

"Uncle Wang, I think this incident may not be accidental. The disappearance of one or two children may be due to some accident. So many children are missing, and there is a high probability that some kidnappers have come to our county." Su Miaomiao expressed her concerns.

"I thought so too." Wang Hongjie responded.

"We should arrange more people to patrol during this period to prevent those kidnappers from entering our village." Su Miaomiao said.

"Okay, I'll do it later... Forget it, I'd better do it now." Wang Hongjie became nervous because of what Su Miaomiao said.

"Sure. We can also remind other villages to be more careful during this period." Su Miaomiao nodded.

"Okay!" Wang Hongjie agreed immediately. After dealing with the problems in his own village, he immediately convened a brigade meeting and conveyed the matter to every village in Anyang Brigade.

In the following days, patrols in Shimatou Village became much more frequent, with people guarding the major entrances and exits of the village even during the day.

Mrs. Huo would also take some time every day to promote safety education to the children.

Shimatou Village had been peaceful until that day, when Su Miaomiao and Wang Hongjie were discussing something in the joint office of a pharmaceutical company and Yun Feichen knocked on the door anxiously.

"Captain Wang, someone is looking for you."

"What's wrong?" Wang Hongjie guessed that something was wrong when he saw Yun Feichen like this.

"It seems like someone's life was revealed." Yun Feichen frowned.

"Someone died? How could someone die out of nowhere?" Wang Hongjie couldn't sit still anymore and immediately got up and went downstairs.

Su Miaomiao also quickly followed.

Downstairs was the village chief of a village under Anyang Brigade. When he saw Wang Hongjie, he immediately came up to greet him.

"Captain, something happened in our village!" The man was sweating and panting, and it seemed that he had run all the way here.

"Don't be anxious, explain things clearly." Wang Hongjie comforted.

"Last time you held a meeting for all of us, you said that some kidnappers had come from the county. After returning to the village, I told the villagers about this matter and strengthened the daily patrols. Just this morning, the village patrol team caught a kidnapper." The village chief said anxiously.

"Did they catch the kidnapper? Isn't this a good thing? How come someone died again?" Wang Hongjie asked.

"When the villagers caught the kidnapper, he was coaxing a child from our village to leave. After the patrol team found out, they shouted, and all the villagers surrounded him. I don't know who started it first, but everyone rushed over with carrying poles and hoes. By the time I got past him, he was already dead." The village chief's voice was trembling when he spoke about the kidnapper.

Although everyone was very angry and wanted to beat him to death when they first caught the kidnapper, when someone really died, the anger was followed by overwhelming fear.

In this day and age, if someone killed someone, the penalty would be execution. The village chief immediately came to find Wang Hongjie.

"You said you just wanted to vent your anger, but why did you beat someone to death?" Wang Hongjie immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"Everyone was so angry at the time that they didn't think too much. By the time they regained consciousness, they were already dead. Captain, what should we do now?" The village chief was extremely anxious.

"Where is the person now?" Wang Hongjie asked.

"It's still in our village."

"Take me to have a look." Wang Hongjie said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" The village chief responded and hurriedly led the way.

"Uncle Wang, let me go with you." Su Miaomiao spoke at the right time.
