Chapter 61
The two of them walked into the theater carrying their suitcases, and as expected, they were stopped by someone as soon as they entered the door.
Xu Guannan led his men to surround the temporary theater and appeared in front of the two.
The woman's face showed a horrified expression, her eyes were full of panic, and she asked in a trembling voice,
"Officer, what does this mean?"
"We recently received a report of a missing child and suspect it's related to your troupe. Please cooperate with the investigation. What's in the box?"
"Isn't it written here? The tools needed for the performance. Any questions?"
The woman had an innocent look in her eyes, and her answer was obviously lacking in confidence. She glanced tentatively at Xu Guannan.
"Open it and take a look."
"Officer, this is nothing fancy, just some props."
As she spoke, the woman stood in front of the box, with a hint of pleading in her tone, and carefully reached out to pull up the corner of Xu Guannan's clothes.
"Open."
Xu Guannan threw out two words expressionlessly, his words were cold and harsh, without any mercy at all.
The woman's face was stunned, her hands froze, and she silently loosened her hands. She unconsciously glared at Xu Guannan and opened the box resignedly.
Seeing what was in the wooden box, Xu Guannan frowned.
"Officer, now you can see clearly, these are all magic props. If I were a human trafficker, I wouldn't use boxes to carry people. This is too obvious."
The woman's frivolous tone was implicitly criticizing Xu Guannan for being simple-minded.
one.
Xu Guannan took people to search the van again, but still did not find the "goods", so they had to return empty-handed. However, this trip had already alerted the enemy, and it would be difficult to obtain evidence next time.
After making sure the police had left, the two returned to the car. The woman opened the third row of seats, lifted the car board under the seats, pulled the girl out, and patted the girl's face.
"Thanks to my vigilance, you almost got caught. I have to let you stay in the cage for two more days."
In the dark night, a few white clouds vaguely appeared in the sky. Under the moonlight, they quietly dispersed with the evening breeze and turned into a piece of scattered clouds and smoke.
Lin Sheng temporarily took Cai Qianxun back to the villa and took him to buy some suitable clothes. After the people fell asleep, he started a live broadcast in his room.
At this time, the mobile phone displayed the time as eight o'clock in the evening, which was the time when fans were extremely active and was a great time to get news.
[It's on air today too. Didn't they say they'll stop after one day of broadcasting? ]
[Master, you've been broadcasting so diligently these past two days, are you out of money?]
【Hahahaha, what the above person said makes sense, I second it.】
Under the mask, Lin Sheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and directly stated his purpose.
"I'm not going to tell fortunes today. I'm curious about the magic troupe and want to chat with everyone."
[Master, have you visited today?]
[I was there today too! And I saw the Master! Just to digress, I was fortunate enough to witness the Master's true appearance. The Master is truly stunningly beautiful, a goddess of beauty descended to earth!!]
[I can tell at a glance that the person above must be a new fan. Unlike us old fans, the master was online during his first live broadcast. What a beauty attack! ]
[Is the Great God really this beautiful? ? Hiss, hiss, I want to see the Great God's true appearance.]
Seeing that the topic in the barrage was getting more and more off-topic, Lin Sheng's eyes were full of speechlessness, and the corners of his lips slightly curled down, and he complained lightly,
"Hey, is there anyone who can pay attention to me? We've gone off topic!"
[Hahaha, the master was ignored in his own live broadcast room. ]
[Master: Magic Troupe Balabala....
Barrage: No one cares....】
[I know about the magic troupe. My brother once participated in the troupe's "Reborn."]
Suddenly, a comment popped up, and among all the off-topic topics, it stood out. Lin Sheng immediately noticed it.
"This ID 'Yan Chu', can you tell me in detail? How has your brother been since he left the troupe? Did you feel anything was wrong with him?"
The host on the screen suddenly said this, which touched Cheng Yanchu's heart. She had accidentally seen this live broadcast and was attracted by the title. She clicked on the host's homepage out of curiosity and found that the other party was actually a fortune teller, and he charged 10,000 yuan for one divination!
She was a little suspicious of the other party's intentions. What if the other party asked her for consulting fees after the conversation?
Cheng Yanchu was a little hesitant, and at this time, the anchor spoke again,
"Looking at your profile, you're only 16, so it's normal for you not to believe me. There are so many people in the live broadcast room today, I definitely can't lie to you. I said I won't tell you fortunes, so tell me everything you know. Maybe I can help you. After all, you don't want last night's dream to become a reality, right?"
[Yan Chu: How do you know what I dreamed about yesterday? ]
[The little sister knows very little about the great god. ]
[Little sister, listen to the great god. She doesn't have many opportunities to do charity. Next time we see each other, we'll have to spend money. Hurry and tell me in detail!]
Cheng Yanchu looked at the comments floating by, and couldn't help but let down his guard amid the teasing of everyone.
[Yan Chu: Okay, I’d like to share it with you.]
As soon as the message was sent, Lin Sheng immediately invited the other party to connect via microphone, and Cheng Yanchu's face appeared on the screen.
"After returning from the troupe, my brother has become incredibly sensible, with a lively eye. He takes the initiative to do housework, is sweet-tongued and can coax people. He has a friendly smile all day long, and his grades have improved by leaps and bounds. He's just like the publicity, but I always find his smile creepy."
"Yesterday, he brought me a plate of fruit covered in mango juice. Luckily, I accidentally knocked over the fruit and didn't get to eat it. I'm severely allergic to mangoes, and my family knows this. It doesn't sound strange. Maybe, like my mom said, my brother just forgot about my allergy."
"But something happened last night that convinced me that the brother in front of me was not my real brother at all. Last night, I got up in the middle of the night to drink some water, and I saw him standing in the kitchen with a knife. He accidentally discovered me and quickly hid in my room. He was knocking hard on my door from outside."
"And I clearly remember that I inserted the key into the keyhole, but the key slowly retreated from the keyhole by itself and fell to the ground. He rushed in with a knife and stabbed it directly into my body, but this morning, I didn't have any wounds on my body."
"I thought it was a dream, but the key did fall to the floor, and I slept on the floor. And there was such a big noise last night, but my parents who live across the street from me were not woken up."
Only after Cheng Yanchu finished telling the whole story did the barrage of comments start rolling again.
[Supernatural Events!!! Are you sure your brother is still a "human"?]
[This is so scary! I can't even imagine how horrible it would be if I lived with your brother!]
[Big Socks, is this still Chinese? You were killed by your brother in a dream, but when you woke up you realized it wasn't a dream, your brother really wanted to kill you!]
[Wait a minute! I suddenly realized something. The troupe has already held several performances so far, and the highest rate of performances is for those who have undergone a complete transformation. This means that many families are currently experiencing this situation!]
[Oh my god, they exchanged their own children for a murderer! Is he going to kill the whole family?!]
Lin Sheng also understood this at this time. His face darkened and he felt something was wrong. This was no longer a simple task of capturing the magic troupe. The situation was urgent. Lin Sheng frowned and suddenly asked,
"Where is your brother now?"
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar male voice came from the other side, and a face appeared in front of the camera, directly touching the face, and the entire face suddenly occupied Cheng Yanchu's screen.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yanchu's terrified scream came from the opposite side.
"ah!"
Ahh ...
Ahh ...
Ahhhhhhh, someone suddenly appeared in my face. This is terrifying. I feel like I'm actually there now.
[Wow, we're just netizens. Why are you playing such a joke on me? Netizen, I think you've crossed the line.]
At the same moment, the cell phone flew out, and fortunately, it hit the bed accurately, covering the camera. The sound of the conversation between the sister and brother could be heard outside the screen.
Cheng Yanchu's throat tightened, and he looked at "Cheng Xi" with a defensive look, questioning him unhappily.
"Why did you suddenly come into my room? Don't you know to knock on the door?"
"Sister, I'm sorry. I saw your door was not closed, so I came in directly. Next time I will remember to knock on the door. Don't be angry."
"Why are you looking for me? If you have something to say, tell me now and leave as soon as possible."
"I want to read a book, but it's on the bookshelf and I can't reach it. My parents just left. Sister, can you help me get it?"
Cheng Yanchu picked up his cell phone and walked behind "Cheng Xi" with a defensive look on his face, and the two of them walked into the study.
But the book was placed a little high, and Cheng Yanchu needed to use a chair to barely reach it.
Seeing Cheng Yanchu standing on the chair with his feet raised, moving with some difficulty, "Cheng Xi" approached silently, stood behind Cheng Yanchu, and suddenly shouted loudly,
"Let me help you."
The sudden explosion of sound in his ears made Cheng Yanchu's body tremble, and he lost his balance for a moment and fell straight backwards.
"ah!"
There was a "bang" sound in the live broadcast room, followed by a scream. The camera was no longer dim, the phone was picked up, and the boy's voice was heard on the screen.
"Sorry, I accidentally fell down. I'm going to end the broadcast today. Bye."
As soon as the words fell, the person on the other side left the live broadcast room.
[Scheming green tea boy! He's young, but he's so scheming. Will anything happen to that little girl across from him?]
[This is terrifying! Are you sure the person on the other end is actually human? Is this the perfect child the troupe was talking about?]
[Could this brother be trying to get rid of his sister? He's already started!]
"Don't worry, it's not time yet. If he wanted to get rid of her, then my little sister would have died last night. He has other intentions."
Lin Sheng looked at the scrolling barrage and made a reasonable guess.
Soon, Lin Sheng received a private message from "Yan Chu" inviting Lin Sheng to visit her home tomorrow morning.
Cheng Yanchu secretly sent the message out, sat on the bench in the hospital, and looked at the busy "Cheng Xi" with displeasure.
Shen Qingru and the others rushed over immediately after receiving the news. They saw Cheng Yanchu's right hand was in a cast and his face was worried.
"What happened? Your hand is broken?"
Cheng Yanchu looked unhappy, but he suppressed his temper. Just as he was about to speak, "Cheng Xi" who had just paid the fee came back and got the upper hand.
"I asked my sister to help me get the books from the shelf, and that's why she fell off the chair. It's all my fault."
His tone was sincere, his posture was humble, and he looked so pitiful, how could I bear to blame him?
The worry on her face disappeared, Shen Qingru breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly,
"Xiao Xi, I don't blame you. Loving to read is a good thing. Remember to wait for us to come back next time."
Turning to Cheng Yanchu, he spoke,
"You don't know how to be more careful. Luckily, you only broke your hand. If your head was hurt, it would be a big problem."
Cheng Yanchu had expected Shen Qingru to react like this, so he ignored her and said,
"Tomorrow is Saturday, and I have invited a friend to come over to my house."
The moonlit night is silent, and the white clouds and smoke are nowhere to be seen.
Lin Sheng brought Wangcai to the door on time.
When Cheng Yanchu opened the door for the first time, he was stunned on the spot, with surprise and confusion in his eyes.
Before she could speak, Lin Sheng introduced himself first.
"You and I were connected on the microphone last night, don't you remember?"
He understood it instantly and quickly invited Lin Sheng and Wangcai in. He couldn't stop smiling.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. If you show your face on the live broadcast, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Your dog is also cute."
The first moment "Cheng Xi" appeared, a dark light flashed in Wangcai's eyes. He stared at "Cheng Xi" with full vigilance and kept shouting at him.
Lin Sheng had a plan in his mind. He stroked Wangcai's fur with one hand and quietly untied the dog leash with the other hand. He apologized on the surface,
"I'm sorry, Wangcai is usually very well behaved and won't yell at anyone. I don't know what happened today."
Shen Qingru was still smiling at this time and responded politely.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's the first time you come to our house. It's normal for a puppy to bark a few times when seeing a stranger. Just don't bite."
This sentence seemed to have triggered some mechanism. Wangcai suddenly lost his mind and Lin Sheng couldn't control him at all. In the living room, the eyes of several people instantly became terrified.
Wangcai leaped up and pounced on "Cheng Xi". Under the horrified gaze of everyone, he bit "Cheng Xi's" arm, shook it hard and tore it, as if he wanted to tear the arm off.
Although his arm was bitten tightly and the sharp teeth were embedded in his skin, there was no expression of pain on "Cheng Xi"'s face. His brows were furrowed and he looked panicked. There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes. He fought against Wangcai with his bare hands.
Shen Qingru was anxious and didn't pay attention to the expression on Cheng Xi's face. She was spinning around in panic.
"What should I do? Let it let go!"
Lin Sheng received Shen Qingru's helpless look and immediately shouted Wangcai's name.
"Wangcai! Let go quickly! Don't bite his arm off!"
Wangcai received the instruction accurately, turned over flexibly, exerted force with his mouth, and twisted his entire arm.
