Chapter 333 Chinese Valentine's Day (4)
The place where he was kidnapped was only two houses away from the village committee and Cainiao Guoguo, so it was considered a close neighbor.
The house had been uninhabited for years, with weeds growing in the yard and the exterior walls falling apart. The house was dark and damp, with spider webs everywhere.
Normally, few people come here. Villagers occasionally pass by but never go in.
Because - bad luck!
A few years ago, someone in this family was jailed for a crime, which caused quite a stir in the village. Later, the family moved away, and no one knew where they went to live, leaving this house empty.
Zhang Shuai had a gloomy face all the way. Tian Xin dragged him out of the yard by the arm and walked towards the village committee.
"Okay, you're still angry?"
"Don't you think that's excessive?" Zhang Shuai stopped, looked at Tian Xin's back, and asked, "Why are you running around so late at night?"
“…”
Tian Xin was stunned. She slowly turned around and pointed at herself: "So, you just said that I was going too far?"
"You called me in the middle of the night, but I didn't answer. I finally found you, and you were beaten like that! Do you know that I just..."
Zhang Shuai was overcome with emotion, his words half accusatory, half distressed. He couldn't finish the sentence, squatting on the ground, scratching his head repeatedly, and his tone changed.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, aren't I?" She walked over, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him up while saying, "Grown man, don't be so emotional all the time. If others see it, they'll think I did something to you."
"Bullshit!" Zhang Shuai got angry when he heard this.
He didn't know where the nameless anger came from, but he stood up suddenly, clasped Tian Xin's shoulders with both hands, shook her hard twice, and said angrily: "They indulged that idiot, and you want to let her go too, right? I tell you, this matter is not so easy."
"What are you going to do?" Tian Xin was shocked.
Before she could recover from the shock, she was frightened again by Zhang Shuai's words: "I'm telling you, don't be impulsive. She doesn't realize this."
"Unconscious? You didn't realize she could tie you up here? And beat you like this?"
Zhang Shuai refused to give in, his eyes burning red with anger. However, when he looked at Tian Xin, he suddenly calmed down.
This made Tian Xin feel helpless. In the middle of the night, the two of them were arguing on the road. If you didn't know better, you would think they were arguing.
But in the end, Zhang Shuai was also confused by her concern and lost control of his anger. No matter what, she couldn't let him do anything irreparable again.
Thinking of this, she suddenly changed the subject: "I haven't asked you yet, how did you know I was here?"
“…”
"Speak!"
“…”
Zhang Shuai didn't want to say anything and turned away angrily!
She hurried after him.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question!"
“…”
"Speak up!"
Seeing that he was silent and walking faster and faster, she couldn't keep up with him and wanted to call him.
I searched every pocket on my body...but the phone was gone...
"Where's my cell phone?" she muttered, reaching into her pocket again.
"Could it have fallen to the ground just now?" She stopped and carefully recalled what happened just now. Finally, she came to the conclusion: it must have fallen to the ground!
Without hesitation, she immediately shouted to Zhang Shuai's back: "You go back first, I'll go find my phone!" Then she turned around and walked towards the desolate courtyard.
Zhang Shuai was still sulking and didn't notice her actions for a long time.
This shout called him back: "Where are you going?"
"I'll go back and look for my phone. I might have dropped it there!"
"You just realized your phone is gone now?"
"ah??"
"How were you kidnapped? Your phone was thrown into the field below the slope where the meter box is. Didn't you know that?"
"ah???"
"You called me, but you didn't say anything after the call went through. I heard the voice wasn't yours, so I rushed over to look for you, but in the end, I only found this!"
Zhang Shuai took out the necklace from his pocket, shone it with a flashlight, and handed it to her: "This is yours!"
!!!
Tian Xin was startled and immediately reached out to touch her neck.
It’s true!
"Why is it with you?" She took the necklace and put it on again. Her heart sank suddenly and she felt a little scared.
"I found it right there, on the ground!" Zhang Shuai glanced at her neck, feeling somewhat disappointed. "And the phone. I gave it to Zhang Ying. Go ask her for it later."
"oh!"
"So what happened just now? That idiot..."
As he was asking, his voice was suddenly interrupted.
The sound of sirens approached from the bottom of the slope. The two were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, the police car had already stopped in front of the online store.
"Who called the police?" Tian Xin looked panicked. "Why did the police come suddenly?"
"I!"
"Why are you calling the police so late at night? Don't you know what everyone is busy with today?"
"Then you couldn't find anyone in the middle of the night, and your phone and necklace were all thrown on the ground. I was so scared that I almost died. How could I care about so many things?"
"So you called the police?"
"ah!"
“I’m really impressed!”
Tian Xin muttered something and quickly ran back to the online store. Only then did she notice that all the lights in the houses along the way were on.
The electricity is coming!
I suddenly felt relieved.
Upon entering the online store, the owners were already busy. Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan were reporting the situation to two police officers.
When they saw her come in, they were stunned at first, then they were obviously relieved and turned to introduce her to the police: "This is Tian Xin, she's back!"
Tian Xin had met these two officers several times when handling the case of Zhang Shuai's father, so they were already familiar with each other. The officers weren't surprised to see her back. After greeting her, they asked her to take a statement with Zhang Shuai.
"Sorry to bother you with this trip so late!"
After seeing the person off, Tian Xin couldn't help but apologize.
"I'm glad he's okay," the police officer said. "I heard this kind of thing happens a lot in your village. Is that true?"
"Well, not often. That kid is a poor fellow, and he doesn't mean any harm."
She pointed to a house with lights on not far away and introduced: "That's her house.
Today, everyone in our village was busy with the shopping festival, and no one paid attention to her. Maybe she was too lonely! Let's not pursue this matter!"
"For safety's sake, you should take us there." The police officer looked at the lights in the distance and said, "After all, this isn't just a joke. If she accidentally strangled you to death, it would be a criminal offense. We can't tolerate such incidents again! To prevent further harm, we should tell her family."
Okay!
She thought about it and then led the police towards the house.
The girl named "Le Le" was wearing a red dress and had her hair loose. She was standing at the gate of her yard.
The chandelier under the gatehouse illuminated her face, and Tian Xin saw that the reason she fainted just now was because Lele picked up a child's mask from somewhere and put it on her face.
The mask had green face and fangs, and Lele's empty eyes. Even now, when she saw it again, she still felt a lingering fear!
