Deep in the mountains late at night, the howling of wolves was somewhat eerie.
Zhang Dazhu abruptly changed the subject, "Brother-in-law, didn't you disagree with me arresting this little bitch a couple of days ago? How come you changed your mind in just one day?"
“Before, we were afraid of alerting the military, but now…” Cang Ri glanced at the unconscious Lin Xiaoxiao, his eyes sinister, “Knowing too many secrets means you must die.”
When Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Your newborn son was used as a blood bag by the Luo family," he knew that Lin Xiaoxiao must know his secret.
Only the dead won't reveal secrets.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao must die.
Zhang Dazhu had no idea what secret Lin Xiaoxiao knew that made Cang Ri so eager to kill her.
But he had his doubts. "Brother, what do you think the base needs so many living people all of a sudden? Aren't they conducting some kind of illegal experiment?"
Cang Ri glanced at him, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Oh, what's our relationship? Let's just chat." Zhang Dazhu said dismissively.
Cang Ri gave him one last reminder, "Da Zhu, the more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. We're almost at the base, so shut your mouth."
Zhang Dazhu didn't take it to heart and continued, "What are you afraid of, brother? This base is too mysterious. Not long ago they needed a lot of rats, and now they need live people. I feel a little uneasy. I won't participate in kidnapping people next time."
Zhang Dazhu was unaware of the base's existence before.
It was Cang Ri who told him that the base would often give him tasks, and he would be rewarded if he completed them well.
Zhang Dazhu knew that it was his brother-in-law who wanted to help him, which was why he brought him into the group.
With just the machete he got from Cang Ri, he could do whatever he wanted in the commune.
The blade is sharp and can sever a person's arm with a single strike.
Such a precious treasure, Cang Ri is thinking of him all the time.
He's truly a good older brother to him.
Zhang Dazhu was very grateful to Cang Ri, so he would agree to any request Cang Ri gave him without hesitation and would do his best to complete it perfectly.
"Big brother, next time..."
Zhang Dazhu stared wide-eyed in horror as Cang Ri tightly covered his mouth, blood foam with a rusty taste oozing from his fingertips.
The excruciating pain caused Zhang Dazhu to convulse, and his body slowly slid down.
Before he lost consciousness, his incredulous gaze remained.
Cang Ri pulled out his sharp machete, and more blood gushed out. He shook his head and sighed, "I told you, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say."
"Come out!" He looked down and wiped the blood off his machete.
The moment the words were spoken, more than a dozen fully armed people dressed in R country combat uniforms sprang out from the dense forest.
They stood behind Cang Ri with their heads bowed, their attitude respectful, "Captain Cang Mu."
Cang Ri calmly ordered, "Clean it up."
Several people stepped forward and dragged Zhang Dazhu away.
Cang Ri looked at Lin Xiaoxiao lying on the ground and said, "Take her to the base and let Dr. Zuo treat her well."
"yes."
"The rest of you come down the mountain with me to capture people alive."
Lin Xiaoxiao's disappearance did not cause any ripples in Peach Blossom Village.
However, in other villages far from Peach Blossom Village, there were rumors of missing persons, but these were not confirmed.
But over the next three days, more and more people went missing from the surrounding villages, and people finally began to realize that something was wrong.
"Are human traffickers really this brazen? Four children have already gone missing in Xiahe Village."
"Not to mention Xiahe Village, Wangzi Village has lost even more children; almost half of the children in the village have disappeared."
"Why are all the missing children children?"
"Of course! Kids can be sold for money, why would someone buy a grown man like you?"
Besides children, women are also a major target for abduction.
Some people noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't shown her face for three days and assumed she had been kidnapped.
"My goodness, Comrade Lin is someone sent by the army. He's been missing for several days and Li Cuilan hasn't said a word about it."
"Maybe they've already left?"
"That's possible too."
During this time, everyone was on edge and kept their children strictly under control, not even allowing them to leave the house.
The commune sent militiamen to investigate and patrol.
Even during the militia's patrol time, children who were supposed to be lost continued to be lost.
The commune director couldn't sit still any longer.
After reporting the situation to the county public security bureau, the police launched an investigation and unanimously concluded that it was a case of human traffickers abducting people.
If someone has been abducted, there's no guarantee they can be found.
At this time, the anti-trafficking operation was ongoing.
But the results were still too poor.
Human traffickers are rampant; as soon as one group is dealt with, another quickly emerges.
Like chives, they can't be harvested all at once.
"My sister has been missing for three days." Luo Qingming was restless, even though Lin Xiaoxiao had told him that she had some things to take care of.
But more and more people are going missing in the surrounding villages, and not a single one has been caught.
He couldn't help but feel worried and anxious.
Huo Jing said, "Don't rush. Your sister is very capable. If we go to her rashly, we might ruin her plans."
Luo Qingming understood perfectly well, but she still couldn't help but worry.
"My sister said she'd be back in three or four days. If she's not back by tomorrow, let's go look for her."
Huo Jing nodded and agreed.
The next day, by the afternoon, there was still no sign of Lin Xiaoxiao returning.
The two of them couldn't sit still any longer.
Just as we reached the entrance of Peach Blossom Village, we saw a military jeep drive in and stop in the open space in front of the brigade headquarters.
The car door opened, and a young man in military uniform stepped out.
