Chapter 335: Kidnapped
After the search, no one found any trace of He Nanxi and his companions.
No one said they had seen them, and they all acted as if they didn't know them.
There were no women in the pigsty either.
Everyone lives their life as usual.
Those who are busy with farm work are busy with farm work, those who are making fire and cooking are making fire and cooking, and those who are taking care of children are taking care of children.
Only there are fewer women.
Many families do not have daughters-in-law.
He Chao remembered Mr. Feng, the rural teacher that He Nanxi had mentioned, and went to the school to check. Sure enough, there was no sign of Mr. Feng, and there was no one in the school.
Seeing that the search was over, the village chief asked fearfully:
"Comrade police officer, is this over? We really didn't do anything illegal or criminal. You have to believe me."
"Where are the teachers at your village school?"
The village chief shook his head. "I don't know either. Teacher Feng is from out of town, and he often disappears. But most of the children in the village go to the primary school in the next village, and there are more teachers there, so I don't often ask about his whereabouts."
"oh."
He Chao didn't say anything. The village chief stood aside, feeling a little uneasy.
"I see there are a lot of men in your village. Why do so many families have children but no wives?"
The village chief showed a bitter expression on his face:
"Our village is so poor. I don't agree with what you said. When the harvest is bad, many families can't even afford meat. Even if we marry a wife, it's hard to support her. Often, she leaves home and never comes back. Alas, there's nothing we can do."
He Chao's eyes were deep, he said nothing, and left the village with his men.
There's no other way. They are police officers and we can't force them. It seems we have to take other measures.
He Chao assigned a group of people to search secretly, and then went to Qingxi Town to investigate by himself. He still had some doubts in his mind.
But what shocked He Chao was that all traces of He Nanxi and the others seemed to have been erased.
The hotel owner said that no one was staying there.
The vendors around said they had never seen these people.
Does the head of Shuiwan Village have such great ability to bribe so many people?
With a gloomy face, he went to the tricycle driver who had taken He Nanxi three times.
He is washing the car.
He Chao, dressed in plain clothes, handed over a cigarette and asked indirectly:
"Uncle, the scenery here in Qingxi Town is pretty good. There should be a lot of tourists."
The uncle responded cheerfully:
"Oh, this is a godforsaken place with underdeveloped development. Even if the scenery is beautiful, how many people would come here?"
He Chao dusted off his cigarette ash:
"I heard from my neighbors that you took people to Shuiwan Village these past two days. You can make a lot of money by bringing tourists with you normally."
"Who?"
The uncle was puzzled: "I went to Shuiwan Village. I am originally from Shuiwan Village and my family's land is over there. It's the autumn harvest season, so I went there to do farm work these past two days."
Looking at the alertness in the uncle's eyes, He Chao knew that he couldn't get anything out of him.
It seems that Qingxi Town and Shuiwan Village have colluded long ago. What should we do next...
…
When He Nanxi woke up, he felt no pain on his body. His hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes, and his mouth was taped shut, so he couldn't make any sound.
When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. This made her panic and fear lingered in her heart.
This group of villagers actually dared to kidnap people in front of the police!
Who gave them the courage?
She had just contacted He Chao yesterday, so why did the village chief know about it so quickly?
There is a traitor!
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on her back.
Who was it? Could it be Teacher Feng? But Teacher Feng didn't know he was going to call the police. The village chief was clearly not surprised when he saw Lu Fan showing his ID.
Could it be Bai Fang or Lu Fan?
“Woo woo—”
Two whimpers came from He Nanxi's side, and only then did she realize that there was someone tied up next to her.
She whimpered twice in response, then heard a friction sound and a warm body leaned over.
"Teacher He, are you okay?"
He Nanxi recognized that it was Lin Ruoyi's voice and hurriedly shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Suddenly, he remembered that it was so dark here that she definitely couldn't see him, so he whimpered.
Um?
Why wasn’t Lin Ruoyi gagged?
"Don't be afraid, our people are here. Wait, I'll help you untie. Be quiet, there are guards outside."
Lin Ruoyi untied the ropes on He Nanxi's hands and feet, and then made a fake buckle so that he could break free with a little effort.
He Nanxi didn't have time to think about why Lin Ruoyi would do this, and asked impatiently:
"Everyone else is okay."
After all, these people were brought here by herself. If something happened to them because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Vivian's voice came from the darkness:
"Don't be afraid, we are all fine. You are the last one to wake up. We have been awake for a while."
He Nanxi was stunned: "Why aren't you tied up? Only me?"
"What are you thinking? Of course he was tied up, but Sister Fang and Brother Lu are police officers."
Lu Fang was just in front of He Nanxi. She spoke softly:
"Those villagers don't know how to tie people up. They can be untied with a little skill."
He Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone was fine, all he had to do was find a way to escape.
"Why were you also arrested? Are Yin Shan and the other two here?"
"Yin Shan escaped. He was the only one among us who ran away."
Leng Feng said in a deep voice: "There were so many people around at the time, and we were afraid of being too harsh and causing casualties, so we got stuck. Brother Lu and I stopped some villagers and asked them to run away to report the news. Now those villagers should be searching the mountain."
Hearing that someone had run away, He Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good.
In fact, it would be best if Lu Fan or Bai Fang ran away to make the most difference, but it is better for one person to run away than for the whole army to be wiped out. However, Yin Shan is also a retired soldier, and those villagers can basically be killed by one punch in front of him. As long as they can run away and contact He Chao, they will be saved.
"How long have we been captured?"
"About two hours, not too long."
He Nanxi pursed her lips and asked hesitantly:
"Sister Fang, Brother Lu, how did you two get caught?"
It should be easy for them to run away with their skills.
Could it be that...
"Nanxi, we are not traitors."
Bai Fang heard the hidden meaning in He Nanxi's words and whispered:
"Those villagers have guns, two at that."
"gun?"
He Nanxi's pupils suddenly shrank. "How could they have such things? Could it be that someone is buying or selling arms? What a lawless lunatic!"
Bai Fang explained, "It's the oldest hunting rifle, probably homemade, not military-grade. But even the most common hunting rifle would have a huge killing power against us. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we can only pretend to be captured."
He Nanxi suddenly thought of the loud noise before she fainted, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
These villagers are really crazy!
"Are any of us injured?"
"Yin Shan was injured while fleeing, and we don't know how serious it is yet."
He Nanxi's heart tightened again.
