Chapter 74 Another Human Kidnapped
Behind Lin Ting is her grandfather's Lin Group and the red background brought by her parents. People in the circle can find out these things with just a casual check.
Ms. Zhang expressed her gratitude, but as the general manager of an environmental protection company, who knows if she is trying to take advantage of the Lin family by taking advantage of the life-saving favor.
It is not easy to connect with other members of the Lin family. On the contrary, Lin Ting may be the easiest one to connect with.
"Senior, please refuse it for me. I'm just willing to help cats. I did Maomao a favor. If you want to thank me, you can give me double the medical expenses as a way of repaying me." Lin Ting didn't like these useless interactions.
In previous years, she never attended gatherings of wealthy circles because she just didn't like these fake social interactions.
If she didn't ask for some thanks, she was afraid that Ms. Zhang would pester her, so it would be better to just ask for some money.
Si Chen was not surprised by Lin Ting's answer.
He didn't refuse directly because he was afraid that Ms. Zhang would not give up, and he couldn't make the decision for Lin Ting directly.
"Okay, I'll help you reject Ms. Zhang."
"Thank you, senior." Lin Ting lowered his head and continued to eat the pancake in the bowl with chicken soup.
"No need to be so polite with senior." Si Chen said jokingly, and the rising tension in the room gradually eased.
The two of them ate quickly, and after finishing their lunch, they left the iron pot stew shop together. The streets outside were completely bustling with activity because it was lunchtime, and it would be difficult to squeeze out along the way they came.
Fortunately, there is more than one way out of the food street. You can go out through the alleys at the back. If you are not a local, you would not dare to go this way because the alleys are complicated and it is easy to get lost.
As soon as the two turned out of an alley, they saw a little girl with two ponytails, holding a sausage and staring at a cat hiding in a flower bed not far away.
"Suck, suck, suck, Mimi, I have your favorite ham sausage here. After you finish eating, come home with me, okay? My mother promised to let me raise you."
The colorful cat hiding behind the flower bed glanced at the little girl with its pupils lowered, but ignored her. Its pupils were fixed on the corner of the wall not far away, its front paws were stepping on milk, and its tail was swinging back and forth, as if it was in a hunting posture.
"Mimi, come here quickly. I have some sausages here." The little girl took two tentative steps forward.
"Stop meowing! You'll scare the mice away."
"Don't come over here, the mouse hasn't noticed meow yet."
"Humans are so weak, it's better not to adopt a cat. Although ham sausage is delicious, it can't be fed to cats every meal. Maybe the cat will need to hunt for it."
Just as the little girl continued to move forward cautiously, Lin Ting grabbed her wrist.
The little girl, half a man's height, looked at Lin Ting in confusion, "What's wrong, sister?"
"She is catching mice. Don't disturb her yet. Wait until she catches the mouse." Lin Ting said in a low voice, fearing that he would disturb Caili from catching mice.
The little girl was shocked and immediately rushed to grab the kitten, "Sister, I saw this kitten first, and I wanted to adopt it first."
Unexpectedly, the little girl thought she was someone who wanted to snatch the kitten from her.
Lin Ting took the initiative to explain, "Little sister, I don't want to compete with you for the kitten. I have many kittens at home, and I can't keep more. It's just that the cat is catching mice, so you have to wait a while. Even if you want to adopt it, you have to ask the kitten's consent."
After hearing Lin Ting's explanation, the little girl's defensive look gradually disappeared and she nodded obediently.
Before, Lin Ting only heard Caili's inner voice and knew that she was catching a mouse, but he didn't see where the mouse was.
Now the vision is good. Following the direction of the cat, I saw a few fat rats squeaking and screaming next to the sewer at the entrance of the alley, with no attention to the danger coming.
There are a lot of food to eat near the food street, and even the rats here are particularly fat.
"That mutton soup restaurant has kidnapped another human."
'Really? '
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes when the rat was stealing food in their underground tunnel."
"That little girl is so pretty, and she's wearing that pretty little dress."
"Do you think the meat in that mutton soup restaurant is human? Otherwise, why does that guy always catch humans? They disappear after a few days and it won't be long before he's replaced by another human."
'It's possible.'
"What a pity that such a beautiful girl is going to fall into the hands of evil people."
Although he had never eaten the mutton soup at that restaurant, Lin Ting couldn't help but feel like retching when he heard the discussion about rats.
Seeing Lin Ting's condition, Si Chen immediately stepped forward and supported her arm nervously, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lin Ting didn't answer Si Chen. She stood up straight, smoothed her chest with her hand, and looked at Si Chen with a slightly pale face, "Have there been any serial disappearances or serial murders in the city recently?"
"Let me hear if you have any clues?" Si Chen did not answer directly.
Some cases involve a wide range of people, so they are not announced to the public for fear that the public will panic if they know about them.
Seeing Si Chen asking this, Lin Ting knew that the gossip from the rats was true. "Those rats said that there's a mutton soup restaurant owner in the food court who often kidnaps people and hides them in the underground warehouse, but they disappear after a few days."
"Three people have gone missing in our city in the past month, two of them female university students and one a tourist from out of town. Neither of them has been found alive or dead. The police have been searching everywhere, even setting up checkpoints, but have found nothing."
"It's not just in our city, there are also three missing female university students in the neighboring city. According to the information they provided, the girls went out alone at night and then disappeared inexplicably. At first, the teachers didn't pay attention. It was only after they kept skipping classes that they realized something was wrong and reported it to the police."
"Our city and the neighboring city combined information and discovered a commonality: all the missing people were beautiful young women. We suspected a joint crime, but without further leads, we couldn't merge the cases and had to investigate separately."
"It's been a week since the last missing out-of-town tourist was reported missing."
"These missing people haven't left any useful information, and their bodies haven't been found. So, for now, we've ruled out the possibility that they were persecuted. We can only search for them as missing persons."
"If this kind of missing person is not found within three months, the case will become an unsolved case and will most likely go unresolved. After all, all the surveillance footage that can be checked has been checked." Si Chen frowned, and a low aura emanated from his body.
"Could he have been abducted?" Lin Ting whispered his guess.
Rather than human flesh, some unscrupulous merchants prefer to use cat meat or other cheaper dead meat as a substitute, as human bones are more troublesome to handle.
Si Chen nodded in response, "I have the same guess as you."
As the two were talking, a silent hunt had ended.
