Chapter 109 Min Shuangshuang
◎Auntie, I will be obedient◎
The hostess Luo Xiaoju was obsessed with money, so why would she care about the fact that kidnapping a child was illegal?
[I can earn 5,000 yuan just by making an introduction. I didn't kidnap the person, nor did I sell him. What does it have to do with me? There are more than a hundred houses in Sancunwan. I don't know how many dirty and smelly ones are hidden. I just introduced Gong Changshui's family. What does it have to do with me? ]
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoju changed her arms and held the child, and said to Zhao Xiangwan: "Then, shall I introduce one to you?"
Zhao Xiangwan, who had heard the news, leaned back in the bamboo chair, looking lazy: "She has to be pretty. If I don't like her, I definitely won't want her."
Luo Xiaoju was a little hesitant before whether to make this dishonest money, but now seeing Zhao Xiangwan's picky look, she suddenly became anxious: "It must be beautiful, I'll take you to see it."
Zhao Xiangwan stood up slowly and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look first."
Thinking that she could make money right away, Luo Xiaoju was excited. She quickly handed the child to the old man and put on rubber shoes: "Come on, I'll take you there."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Zhu Kang, who was playing with the children with great interest, and called out, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang gradually became familiar with each other.
During the winter vacation of 1991, Zhu Kang joined the serious crime squad for an internship and was involved in the murder case of Weng Pingfang. Zhu Kang had just graduated from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Security University and was assigned to the squad. Zhu Kang was from the class of 1991, exactly four years older than Zhao Xiangwan from the class of 1995.
Zhu Kang is a farm boy, thin and introverted. Unlike Zhu Feipeng, he does not love to steal the limelight. He silently takes notes and carefully completes the on-site investigation. Zhao Xiangwan has always positioned him as a criminal policeman who performs his duties conscientiously and assists in solving cases.
There were two occasions that really left a deep impression on Zhao Xiangwan.
Once, he met Fan Hongwei in a hot pot restaurant. After a group of hot-blooded young people came out, Zhao Xiangwan sighed: How come Fan Hongwei, a gangster who was favored by Tsai Chang, is living a comfortable life ten years later, while Tsai Chang, who helped them, died young, leaving only a lonely grave, a file, and a sigh. Is it fair? It's not fair!
This was the first time Zhao Xiangwan heard Zhu Kang swear: Damn, that’s not fair!
At that time, Zhao Xiangwan thought that although this short criminal policeman looked introverted, he was actually quite brave.
Another time, during the robbery of the Fei family, Zhu Kang checked every corner of the Fei family, sometimes crawling on the ground, sometimes climbing up the window frame to take samples, and even the bedroom curtains, the wash cups in the bathroom, and the dishes in the kitchen were not spared. In total, he took several sets of shoe prints and fingerprints, and analyzed three sets of footprints at the scene. Zhu Kang showed his excellent criminal investigation ability, and it can be seen that he is very knowledgeable about foot studies.
Later, Zhao Xiangwan came into more and more contact with the people in the Serious Crime Unit. Although Zhu Kang was a man of few words, he was meticulous in his work. He took notes more carefully than other boys and his handwriting was not big. From these details, Zhao Xiangwan judged that he was a colleague who was not very confident but had strict self-discipline.
This time when he went on the mission with him and saw him silently enduring the severe headache and digesting the unknown psychological trauma by himself, Zhao Xiangwan realized that Zhu Kang was also a man with a story.
When Zhu Kang heard what Zhao Xiangwan said, he ran over and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Luo Xiaoju.
Luo Xiaoju said, "I'll take your boyfriend around the bay. You're a grown man, so don't run around."
Zhu Kang said "Oh", but still a little worriedly, "I, I'd better follow you. We are not familiar with this place, and we don't want to be tricked by her and kidnapped."
Luo Xiaoju rolled her eyes, thinking that this guy was really stupid. Zhao Xiangwan was such a smart woman, and she was the one who wanted to kidnap someone, but this guy was still worried that she would be kidnapped by someone else.
Zhao Xiangwan pursed his lips and gave Zhu Kangchun an approving look: Well, the image of a stupid person with a lot of money is expressed very vividly and naturally. Continue.
Zhu Kang laughed and pointed at Luo Xiaoju and said, "Don't roll your eyes at me. I'm not stupid. I'm telling you, I'll be waiting at your house. If my target doesn't come back in half an hour, I'll burn your house down!"
As the saying goes, the monk may escape, but the temple cannot. This threat was indeed effective, so Luo Xiaoju had to soften her attitude: "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll take your target out for half an hour at most and bring her back later, okay?"
Zhu Kang looked down at his watch and said, "Well, it's 12:20 now. If you don't come back before 12:50, I'll burn the house down."
Seeing Zhu Kang's shameless side, Luo Xiaoju could no longer slack off and pulled Zhao Xiangwan, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up. The Gong family lives in the bay, and it will take seven or eight minutes to walk there."
Zhao Xiangwan shook her hand off and said with a hint of disgust, "Don't rush me. I know the seriousness of this matter."
Luo Xiaoju was married from another village. She had lived in Sancunwan for a long time. She knew a lot of people around the bus station. She was a bit wild and wanted to make a lot of money. Zhao Xiangwan's words about the agency fee of 5,000 yuan excited her mind. The first thing she thought of was the mother and daughter abducted by Gong Changshui. Without thinking, she took Zhao Xiangwan to see them. On the way, she remembered one thing: Are Gong Changshui and his family planning to sell the child?
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. Luo Xiaoju didn't look at it carefully. She didn't care. She would take one step at a time. When Zhao Xiangwan took a fancy to the child, she would ask Gong Changshui about his thoughts. We all lived in the same bay. Everyone knew each other. Gong Changshui had never learned well since he went to work in Zhu City. He cheated and deceived people all day long. If he had money, he would be a fool not to make money!
Zhao Xiangwan listened quietly to what Luo Xiaoju was thinking and gained a clearer understanding of Gong Changshui.
He should be one of "them". He is from Luo County like Qiu Sanyong and lives in Sancun Bay. Therefore, it is natural for him to kidnap Min Jiahuai and Min Shuangshuang and bring them home.
Luo Xiaoju took Zhao Xiangwan to Gong's house and shouted at the top of her voice: "Auntie Gui, are you home?"
Gong Changshui's mother, whom Luo Xiaoju called Auntie Gui, walked out cautiously. When she saw that it was Luo Xiaoju, she let her and Xiang Wan into the house.
Luo Xiaoju introduced Zhao Xiangwan as her cousin, named Xiaowan. People in Wanzi were not particular about food. Small or big bowls did not matter. As long as they were relatives, they were considered family and there was no need to be on guard.
It was also a two-story house, but the conditions of the Gong family were much worse. Only the first floor was simply renovated, and the stairs and the second floor were completely unfinished. The stairs didn't even have a handrail, only a prefabricated staircase with one section pressed into the wall and the other hanging out. There was only an old table and five or six bamboo chairs in the living room, not even a kettle or teacups, which didn't look like a place where guests often visited.
Luo Xiaoju rolled her eyes and asked, "Brother Changshui is not at home?"
Gong Changshui was married before, but because he was in debt from gambling, his wife took the children back to her parents' home in anger and the two divorced. Now he is alone at home with his old mother, and the house is very deserted.
Aunt Gui sighed, "He's out with his brother, and I don't know what he's busy with. Alas! I'm old and can't help anymore. I just hope he gets married and has kids so that the house can be more lively."
Luo Xiaoju chuckled: "Didn't I see Changshui bringing back a wife from out of town a while ago? And a little girl too. Two more people, isn't it quite lively?"
Aunt Gui hesitated to speak, and pointed to the locked room at the west end: "It's not yet tamed, and it's not obedient."
Luo Xiaoju said, "Women are reluctant to leave their children. If you lock her up separately from the child, she might become obedient after a moment of panic."
Aunt Gui nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah."
Luo Xiaoju was very active and volunteered to stand up: "I'll help you, auntie. Otherwise she will run away."
Aunt Gui was about sixty years old, with gray hair, but still strong. Seeing Luo Xiaoju being so active, she was somewhat tempted.
[Changshui brought the girl back and locked her in the house all day long. I don’t know if they are married or not. The girl was obedient and didn’t cry or make a fuss. She even called me grandma when she saw me. She was so polite that it made people feel distressed. It’s a sin. Why did you kidnap her? My daughters are all married, and I only have this son to support me in my old age. Although kidnapping women is unscrupulous, I have no choice...]
[As for women, as long as they become husband and wife and have sex, they will have feelings for each other. When the time comes, just coax him and he will be fine, right? Her children are here, where else can she go? ]
Aunt Gui got up as she thought about it, and pulled a key from her belt. She said to Luo Xiaoju, "I'll open the door, and you take the little girl out. I have to lock the door again quickly, or else the sickly girl will run away and my son will scold me."
Luo Xiaoju readily agreed: "Okay, I'm very nimble, don't worry, auntie. Besides, everyone in our bay is related to each other, how can she run away? If she leaves the house, we have to catch her back!"
She turned her head and glanced at Zhao Xiangwan: "Come over and help too."
Aunt Gui took the key and opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, a foul smell of feces and urine hit her face.
Aunt Gui cursed while picking up the urine bucket. Luo Xiaoju walked in and picked up Min Shuangshuang who was sitting on the bed. Min Jiahuai begged bitterly: "Please, don't take my child away."
Zhao Xiangwan was standing at the door and saw Luo Xiaoju holding Min Shuangshuang and walking out quickly. Aunt Gui pushed the thin Min Jiahuai onto the bed, and the two of them joined forces to quickly separate the mother and daughter.
Min Shuangshuang is eight and a half years old this year. She is pretty and behaves very well-behaved and sensible. She obediently followed Luo Xiaoju out of the house, watched Aunt Gui lock the door, and stared at the key hanging on Aunt Gui's waist.
[I have to be good and not make a fuss. I will steal the key after I please her.]
嗯，不愧是闵成航的女兒。
不到九歲的年齡，就知道先裝乖麻痹大人。
闵雙雙上小學三年級，八、九歲的年紀，體重也有四十幾斤，抱在手上沉甸甸的。羅小菊抱了一下就受不住，彎腰把她放在地上，雙手放在她肩膀上，推到趙向晚面前，示意趙向晚好好相看一下，滿意不滿意。
趙向晚蹲下來，仔細打量着眼前的孩子。
杏眼、秀鼻、櫻花粉的小嘴，漂亮精致的瓜子臉，活脫脫一個美人胚子。趙向晚擡起手，撫了撫她臉龐，又拉了拉她胳膊和腿，一臉的挑剔。
闵雙雙圓睜雙眼，任由趙向晚擺布，但那微微顫抖的身體卻将她的內心的恐懼表達出來。
【她們是不是要賣掉我？】
【賣掉我了，媽媽怎麽辦？媽媽還要吃藥，不能難過不能累。】
【媽媽說，壞人要威脅爸爸做壞事呢，爸爸做壞事的話，警察會不會把他抓起來？】
趙向晚站起身，沖羅小菊點了點頭，意思是這個小姑娘還不錯。
羅小菊眼睛一亮，湊近她耳邊：“真給我五千？”
趙向晚點頭：“真的。”
羅小菊再一次确認：“真願意出兩萬買？”
趙向晚猶豫着點了點頭，又搖了搖頭。
羅小菊生怕到手的鴨子飛了，急得一把将趙向晚拖到一邊：“怎麽了？哪裏不滿意？”
趙向晚做出一副肉痛的模樣，撇了撇嘴，對羅小菊說：“還是太小，得養十年才能接客，啧啧啧，不劃算，我得想想。”
深谙人性的趙向晚知道，如果她表現得太過急切，羅小菊反而會警惕。趙向晚越是不情不願，羅小菊越當真。
羅小菊努力擠出一個笑容：“喂，你莫嫌她小啊，這麽漂亮，你買回去先讓她學點表演，上臺演出嘛。這孩子長這麽漂亮，幹點什麽不賺錢？你在外面有門路，肯定有辦法的嘛。放在我們這裏，只曉得吃飯、拉屎，什麽用都沒有。”
桂嬸聽着不對勁，走過來問：“小菊，你這是想幹嘛？”
羅小菊說話也不避着孩子，開門見山：“我這表妹在南方大城市裏，是做那種生意的，你懂不？很賺錢的咧。她現在年紀大了，想買兩個漂亮小姑娘養在身邊好好培養，将來接她的班。我這不想着長水拐來兩個，大的可以當老婆，小的留在家裏也沒用，不如把這小姑娘賣給她。”
桂嬸一聽，立刻來了興趣：“你肯出多少錢？”
趙向晚沒有說話。
羅小菊幫腔：“我表妹還在猶豫咧，她願意出兩萬買，就是嫌孩子太小。”
門外隐約有腳步聲傳來，趙向晚低下頭看看手表：“喂，半個小時快到了。”
羅小菊一聽，吓得趕緊把闵雙雙往桂嬸那裏一推：“嬸兒，這孩子你帶着啊，你問問長水的意見，要是想賣呢，就過來找我。我先回去了，家裏還有個二傻子，我怕他燒了屋子。”
桂嬸還以為羅小菊在說她那個賭鬼丈夫，忙催促道：“好好好，你快去吧，從後門走。”
羅小菊與趙向晚一起從堂屋後門離開。
桂嬸做慣農活平時根本閑不住，屋後種了不少菜。趙向晚從堂屋後門出來，穿過一大片菜地，抄近路回了羅家。
祝康站在羅家地坪前，一邊看手表一邊朝着路那頭張望。
看到趙向晚的身影出現，這才松了一口氣。等到羅小菊走近，他沒好氣地說：“只剩下兩分鐘了，我跟你講，我打火機都準備好了……”
羅小菊錢還沒到手，心煩氣躁地回了一句：“好了好了，我知道了，你別催了，真煩人！”
等到三人都回了屋，羅小菊繼續游說趙向晚：“別嫌孩子小，我敢說，你到哪裏都找不到這麽漂亮的小姑娘。”
趙向晚嘆了一口氣，看了看窗外：“表姐，既然你說我是你表妹，那就是自己人，我跟你說實話實說。兩萬塊是多少錢，你知道不？在我們村，一萬塊可以買一個漂亮的黃花大閨女，八千塊可以買一個兩歲不到的男娃。你以為我這兩萬塊錢掙得容易？就算是皮.肉生意，那也是血汗錢吶，我還是覺得孩子小了點。不過……你看看那邊的想法吧，如果真心實意賣，一萬吧，一萬我就買了。”
買貨的才會嫌貨，付錢的才會壓價。
表現得太痛快，絕對不是做生意，對方肯定要懷疑。
只有這樣一邊嫌棄，一邊壓價，才是真正做生意的态度。
羅小菊緊張地看着趙向晚：“那，我五千塊錢的中介費呢？”
趙向晚看着她，表情很平靜：“中介費給你20%，兩千吧。表姐你出去打聽一下，我在南方做生意，中介費都是10%，我給你20%。”
先用大錢把羅小菊砸暈，等她上了鈎之後再來砍價，這就是趙向晚的套路。
一下子從五千降到兩千，羅小菊很煩惱。她看着趙向晚，又轉頭看一眼站在一旁一聲不吭的祝康，很不高興地說：“你這是什麽意思？剛才不是說五千，現在怎麽就掉到了兩千？太少了！”
趙向晚微微一笑，作勢要走：“你租房子，一個晚上五塊，兩千塊得租上四百天，一年多呢。上下嘴皮子一動，賺兩千塊，還不多？你要是嫌少，那就算了，我到其他地方去看看吧。本來呢，那個孩子看着只有七、八歲，太小了，我并不滿意。”
羅小菊慌忙攔住她：“好好好，兩千就兩千，你坐着，我去幫你跑一趟。”說完，似乎是害怕趙向晚反悔，她飛快起身，往龔長水家跑去。
看着羅小菊狂奔的背影，祝康對趙向晚的敬佩之心猶如滔滔江水、連綿不絕：“向晚，你，你怎麽想出這一招的？”
趙向晚沖他使了個眼色，兩人上了樓。
關上門，再拉上窗簾，确保沒有人偷聽之後，趙向晚這才坐在床邊，悠哉哉地和祝康聊起天來。
“你還記不記得，劉商軍給闵成航傳了一個紙條，說他妻子打電話說下周回來？”
祝康點頭：“記得。”
“那你覺得，三天後闵成槐會不會出現在星市？”
祝康搖頭：“不是被綁架了嗎？怎麽可能回去。”
趙向晚看了他一眼：“那你小看了闵成航的決心。從他拿刀砍向小學生的那一天開始，他的目的只有一樣：護妻女周全。如果他沒有親眼見到妻子，絕對不會承認自己的罪行。他既然有能力安排證據，那同樣也有辦法推翻。”
祝康似乎有點明白了：“哦，我明白了。這是闵成航與綁匪之間的約定，除非綁匪放出他妻女，他才會乖乖自首。”
雖然想通了這一點，但祝康心思缜密，立刻找到漏洞所在：“可是，綁匪怎麽可能乖乖放人？要是放了人，闵成航反手把他們舉報了怎麽辦？”
趙向晚轉頭看着那廉價布料做成的窗簾，硬而厚的布料，俗氣的花紋，卻是這個縣城最常見、最華麗的裝飾。
“所以，你覺得我為什麽一定要買雙雙那個小姑娘？”
趙向晚的聲音淡淡的，落在祝康耳朵裏卻很有力量感。他大為震撼，呆站在窗邊：“你的意思是，他們會扣着孩子？”
祝康想通了這些關鍵，看向趙向晚的眼神裏帶着崇拜：“你說你，你怎麽就這麽聰明呢？綁匪要幹一票大的，所以綁了闵成航的老婆孩子。闵成航為了保護妻女，只得不斷與他們周旋，不僅讓我們警方開始懷疑他、不斷尋找證據，還逼得對方不得不安排他妻子主動聯系他。這一回綁匪同意放回他妻子，但是一定要捏着一樣東西，保證闵成航不會反水。還有什麽，比孩子更有效？”
可是轉念一想，祝康又覺得不對：“如果綁匪要拿孩子來鉗制闵成航，那怎麽可能把她賣給你呢？”
趙向晚瞟了他一眼：“綁匪是什麽人？他們哪裏有耐心帶孩子？多半是把孩子丢在三村灣這裏，或者直接撕票。反正只要闵成航認了罪，邱三勇放出來，幹完一票大的，他們拿着錢遠走高飛，還管什麽闵成航，管什麽闵雙雙？”
祝康眉頭緊皺：“那……闵成航根本就沒有達到目的。”
趙向晚思索片刻：“或許，闵成航已經預料到了這個結果。在他心目中，妻子是第一位的，而且妻子身體病弱，必須第一個救出來。至于女兒，一來女兒乖巧聰明，懂得審時度勢，二來畢竟她只是個孩子能降低綁匪戒心，他相信女兒能夠活下來。只要綁匪開始動手，我想他立刻就會舉報，與我們取得聯系，争取解救女兒。”
不知道為什麽，祝康的心髒被揪成一個團，又酸又澀：“可是，雙雙只有八歲半，她只是個孩子。再聰明、再乖巧，面對兇殘的歹徒，誰能知道保不保不住命？這個闵成航，心可真大！”
趙向晚看了他一眼：“所以，我們要先下手為強，把小姑娘買下來。在不驚動綁匪的同時保證孩子的安全，只有這一個辦法。”
祝康張了張嘴，內心湧動着深深的感動，他想了半天，從口袋裏掏出錢包，拿出裏面所有的錢，一把塞進趙向晚手中：“都給你。”
看着手中有零有整的鈔票，趙向晚笑了，毫不客氣地放進口袋：“行，算你一份了。”
祝康又問：“既然已經知道人質所在，咱們就不能與羅縣警方聯系，直接把他們抓住，解救人質？幹嘛還要花錢買孩子？”
趙向晚搖頭：“對方所圖太大，在沒有明确他們所有布署、揪出所有團夥之前，不能打草驚蛇。你放心，這一萬二千塊錢，肯定得讓許局給我們報銷！到時候追回贓款的時候，直接沖抵。”
祝康一聽還能報銷，立刻伸出手找趙向晚讨要剛才給她的錢：“那你把錢還我。”
趙向晚看他那小氣肉痛的模樣，被他成功逗笑：“你錢都交出來了，還想着拿回去？休想！”
祝康搔了搔腦袋，正要說話，卻聽到門口傳來敲門聲。
祝康立刻閉上嘴，跑去将門開了一條縫，沒好氣地瞪着一臉興奮的羅小菊：“幹嘛？”臉上的表情無一不在暗示羅小菊：正要幹點什麽，卻被你打斷。
羅小菊沒在意祝康的不耐煩，腆着臉笑：“老板，我找小碗。”
祝康故意門在門邊，擋住羅小菊的視線，等了一會聽到趙向晚說一聲：“好了，進來吧。”他才開了門。
被這兩人阻擋了一陣，羅小菊剛才的興奮勁漸漸散淡了一些。
看到倚坐在床頭的趙向晚，羅小菊在心裏罵了一句，臉上卻堆着笑：“那個，我和龔家談好了，就按你的價，把那小姑娘賣給你。”
趙向晚早知道是這個結果，淡淡地“哦”了一聲。
他們馬上就要帶着闵家槐去星市，闵雙雙就成了一個難題。帶着吧，沒了鉗制闵家航的籌碼；放在家裏吧，這小丫頭一張小甜嘴，把龔長水的母親哄得團團轉，萬一跑了呢？殺了吧，還得挖坑埋，累。
現在羅小菊送來一樁現成的買賣，多好。
既賺了一萬塊錢，有了活動經費，又順利處理掉小丫頭這個累贅。到時候闵成航要是問起，就說老家親戚帶着，等他順利入獄換出邱三勇，再把丫頭送回來。至于要不要送回來，嘁！開什麽玩笑。
聽到羅小菊的彙報，趙向晚皺了皺眉，嘆了一口氣：“那，明天我來領孩子吧。我身上沒有那麽多現金，還得去銀行取錢。”
羅小菊生怕到手的鴨子飛了，着急地催促：“那邊說了，一手交錢一手交貨，你要是幹脆呢，他們也幹脆。如果你磨磨唧唧，就怕他們不肯賣了。”
趙向晚這才慢吞吞起床：“那行吧，我去取錢，你等着。”
她左右看看這屋子，皺眉道：“煩死了，多個孩子怎麽睡嘛。算了，我等會叫個車過來，直接把孩子帶回去得了，不然還得安頓她睡覺的地方。”
羅小菊一聽更覺得好：“好，挺好。這房費我也不收你的，你直接把那小姑娘帶走吧，免得被人看到也不好。”
趙向晚與祝康到市裏銀行取了錢，叫了一輛出租車開到灣口等着。祝康拎了行李放上車，趙向晚則與羅小菊一手交錢、一手領人。
龔長水沒有出面，帶孩子過來的人是桂嬸。
桂嬸牽着闵雙雙的手，把她推到趙向晚面前，有些不忍地閉了閉眼：“去吧，跟着這個姨，以後吃香的喝辣的，要聽話。”
闵雙雙很聽話地點頭，仰着頭看着趙向晚，喊了一聲：“姨……”
趙向晚點了一萬塊，拿在手上卻沒有給桂嬸。
桂嬸眼巴巴地看着那錢，卻不敢催。
趙向晚說：“你得給我立個字據，還要簽字畫押，不然将來萬一你後悔要把這孩子要回去，我豈不是虧死？”
桂嬸期期艾艾：“不會的，不會的。”
羅小菊讀過初中，算是灣裏的文化人，她看着趙向晚手中的錢，眼睛裏恨不得生出勾子來，趕緊拿來紙筆，按照趙向晚的要求立了字據，把錢數寫上，又按了手印簽了字，趙向晚這才把錢給了她倆。
趙向晚将字據疊好放進口袋，心裏想着這可是報銷的憑證。她伸出手牽過闵雙雙的手，對桂嬸和羅小菊冷着臉說：“人我可領回去了啊，以後是死是活你們都不要管，也別和人家說，聽到沒？”
桂嬸和羅小菊接過厚厚的一疊子百元大鈔，早就迷了心竅，哪裏還顧得上趙向晚和她們說話，只知道用手指沾着口水，快速地點着錢，嘴裏說着：“好好好，聽到了聽到了。”
在這樣的“友好”氛圍中，趙向晚悠然離開了三村灣，根本沒有任何村民阻擋。
上了出租車，坐在副駕駛的祝康說了一聲：“走！去火車站。”
祝康自己都沒有意識到，他的聲音帶着一絲顫抖。
【啊啊啊，快走快走，快點離開這裏。萬一姓龔的冒出來怎麽辦？萬一村民意識到不到沖出來怎麽辦？】
曾經參加過被拐賣婦女解救行動的祝康，見過太多村民合起夥來對抗警察，拿着鋤頭、尖扁擔與警察對峙的場面，趙向晚帶着雙雙一上車，他就開始緊張。
司機的後背一僵。
【這哪裏來的外地人？不會是到我們三村灣搞什麽名堂吧？】
趙向晚聽到司機心中所想，知道他是三村灣的人，便冷聲道：“火車還早呢，你催什麽催。”
司機聽到她這不耐煩的本地口音，臉色果然和緩下來：“你們幾點的火車？”
趙向晚看了看表：“還有一個多小時呢，不急。”
司機哈哈一笑：“我們縣城小，火車站離這裏也就一刻鐘，莫急莫急。”
說罷，司機一腳油門加起，将他們送到火車站。
到了火車站，祝康終于松了一口氣，來到乘警室，亮出工作證，走特殊通道，帶着趙向晚與闵雙雙上了最快到達星市的列車。
直到坐在餐車上，祝康這才有時間關注闵雙雙。
一路走來，這孩子乖得出奇，一個字也沒有說，牽着趙向晚的手，寸步不離。不管大人走得有多快，她都努力跟上。不喊渴、不叫餓，連上廁所都不敢主動提要求。直到憋得受不了了，她才拉了拉趙向晚的胳膊。
趙向晚其實也在精神高度緊張中。
她不知道龔長水在火車站有沒有同夥，也不清楚對方是否會反悔，更怕被他們看出端倪，因此剛才一路行來，一直在全神貫注觀察着四周人群的反應。
被闵雙雙拉了一下，趙向晚這才反應過來，看着她憋得通紅的小臉，聽到她可憐兮兮的低語：“姨……上廁所。”恨不得砸自己腦袋一下，趕緊牽着她的手，送她到廁所門口。
闵雙雙上完廁所出來，洗了手，在衣服上擦幹淨手，這才過來牽住趙向晚的手，仰着臉說了句：“姨，我會聽話的。”
這話一出，趙向晚心中一酸，恨不得抱着這個孩子好好安撫一下。
不過趙向晚并沒有表達出強烈的情感，只是帶她走到餐車角落坐下。
确認過餐車上的服務員都是正常人之後，趙向晚悄悄亮出自己的警官證。
闵雙雙一看到那上面的警徽，大眼睛裏立刻盈滿淚水，安靜地順着臉頰滑落。
【媽媽，你們快去救我媽媽。】
趙向晚壓低聲音道：“你先跟我回家，我們回頭再來救你媽媽。現在我們不确認壞人到底有多少，所以要小心點。”
祝康看到闵雙雙那張默默流淚的臉，不知道為什麽眼前再一次閃過記憶碎片。
紮蝴蝶結的小辮子，被扯脫了。
大大的眼睛，瞪得溜圓。
眼中滿是淚水。
一根手指，豎到唇邊，比了一個“噓——”
劇烈的疼痛再一次襲來。
洶湧的記憶噴湧而出，而大腦仿佛成為一條狹窄的通道，被這大量的記憶擠壓得脹痛無比。
祝康悶哼一聲，擡起雙手，死命按住太陽穴。
深呼吸。
呼——吸！
呼——吸！
不要想起，現在還不是時候！
趙向晚察覺到了祝康的異常，凝神看去，卻再一次聽到了祝康那壓抑在內心的痛苦嚎叫。
【姐姐，姐姐——】
【有壞人，你快跑啊！】
【好多血，姐姐死了，我不敢叫，啊——】
最後那一聲“啊——”撕心裂肺，就像鈍刀子割着趙向晚的耳朵，讓她毛骨悚然。
祝康幼時到底經歷了什麽恐怖的場景，讓他的內心充滿悲痛？
祝康是不是看到過姐姐被人殺害的場面，所以遭受了極為嚴重的心理創傷？
趙向晚伸出手，蓋在祝康眼睛上，輕聲道：“忘記吧，忘記吧。”
趙向晚的手掌柔軟而幹燥，祝康眼前一黑，在她的心理暗示下，所有記憶畫面如退潮一般消失不見。
祝康身體往後一仰，讓開趙向晚的手。
His originally tense body had become relaxed and he no longer needed to draw energy from Zhao Xiangwan.
Zhu Kang put down his hands that were pressing on his temples and looked at Min Shuangshuang with a loving look in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, we are the police and we are here to save you."
Since being abducted, Min Shuangshuang has never had a good sleep.
Although she is only eight and a half years old, because her mother is in poor health, she is the one who usually reminds her mother to take medicine and rest, so she is much more mature than children of the same age.
She knew that she couldn't make a noise, couldn't make excessive demands, and couldn't provoke the kidnappers. She had to conserve her strength so that she could wait for her father to come and rescue her.
Min Shuangshuang believes in her father. She trusts him immensely.
Others say that Min Yuanhang is a useless and honest clerk, but Min Shuangshuang knows that her father is very smart. He can sing many songs, recite many poems, repair small appliances, and even give his mother injections and prescribe medicine for himself.
In Min Shuangshuang's eyes, her father's heart is very small and can only accommodate her and her mother. Otherwise, such a smart father would definitely become a very remarkable person.
Because of this trust, Min Shuangshuang endured all the pain, even if her arm was pulled almost to pieces, even if she was pushed to the ground and her skin was broken, even if she was not allowed to wash her hair or take a bath or change clothes for several days, she did not cry or make a fuss. As long as they let her mother take the medicine as prescribed and as long as her mother was fine, she would be fine with it.
She originally thought that when Zhao Xiangwan came to buy her away and she was forced to separate from her mother, it would be the beginning of a new disaster, but unexpectedly, it was the end of all the misfortunes.
Min Shuangshuang couldn't believe that she was safe. She still stared at Zhu Kang and Zhao Xiangwan with her eyes wide open, crying silently.
Such a sensible child is truly lovable. No wonder Aunt Gui was so reluctant to sell her, and no wonder Min Chenghang had immense confidence in his daughter, knowing that she would be fine.
After arriving in Xing City, Zhao Xiangwan did not dare to be sure that the Municipal Bureau did not have "their" spies, so he simply sent Min Shuangshuang to the Ji family villa.
Min Shuangshuang is beautiful, well-behaved and sensible, and is popular wherever she goes. Ji Zhao's grandmother Zhou Fangxi treats her like a treasure, buying her the most beautiful little skirt, braiding her hair, and even finding a third-grade textbook for Luo Danfeng to tutor her.
After settling Min Shuangshuang, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, so Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang simply stayed in the Ji family villa to rest. The next day, the two returned to the serious crime team to learn about the progress of the interrogation.
Gao Guangqiang was very satisfied with Zhao Xiangwan's efficiency. He went there yesterday morning and returned this morning. He successfully rescued a hostage in 24 hours and found "their" whereabouts in Luo County. Although it cost 12,000 yuan, the money will be recovered after the case is closed.
Compared with Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang, Gao Guangqiang's situation was not so smooth.
Zhu Feipeng gritted his teeth and said, "That Min Chenghang is very stubborn. In the face of the testimonies of Aqiang and Liu Shangjun, he did not comment. He only said that he would explain everything after his wife came. If he didn't see his wife, he wouldn't say a word."
Huang Yuande added: "Yes, we don't have any crucial evidence at the moment. Aqiang's testimony can only prove that Min Chenghang bought a machete two years ago, and Liu Shangjun's testimony can only prove that he was in Zhushi at the time of the crime, but we don't know whether he broke into the house and robbed it, and why he robbed it."
Zhou Rulan said, "After all, that was a case from two years ago, and the key evidence has disappeared. Unless Min Chenghang admits it himself, we can only hand him over to the prosecutors for intentional injury and stabbing people in the street."
Gao Guangqiang concluded: "At present, I have reported to the leaders. They attach great importance to this case and have sent people to monitor the whereabouts of Liu Shangjun and Aqiang. As long as they have any abnormal behavior, someone will report it immediately. In addition, regarding the issue mentioned by Xiangwan that our police force may have their spies, we have also begun to investigate, and no problems have been found so far. If we don't make a move, we can only wait until Min Jiahuai comes to see him and see what Min Chenghang will say."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded and said, "Min Chenghang is a very smart person. If we want to eliminate his vigilance and make him choose to cooperate with us, we can only proceed after Min Jiahuai meets with him."
