Chapter 398 Sudden Disappearance

Mu Li took a few people around the village for a few laps, but still didn't find anything wrong.

The disguise here is really too good.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the bowl on the table and the clothes in the room.

The clothes were hanging in the room, and they were already peeling and looked tattered.

There were underwear, bellybands for girls, and clothes for children.

The clothes for the children looked good, and they should be made of more comfortable fabrics, and they looked very comfortable.

Mu Li walked over and pinched the child's clothes. After such a long time, the clothes were still soft.

But it was obvious that the color on them had almost faded.

They went to a few houses that were relatively intact, and the inside of the houses were basically in a very strange state.

The things inside were still there, giving the feeling that they were just going out, not moving.

After seeing several houses like this, Lin Zi followed behind and felt more and more frightened.

As an ordinary person moving, it is not necessary to move all the belongings, but the things will basically be packed up, instead of being randomly placed like now.

Mu Li suddenly looked up at the police uncle who came with him to investigate: "Can you please investigate how many people have relocated from this village?"

The police uncle hurriedly called the people over there to find out about the people who had relocated from this village.

Looking at the number of houses in the village, there are at least 1,400 people here.

A rough estimate is that if there are people who are not recorded in the roster, there will probably be even more.

Because many children are not immediately registered when they are born, the population may be much larger than the rough estimate.

Judging from the traces, this village has been out for at least thirty or forty years.

Thirty or forty years ago, it was still very inconvenient to go out, especially for large-scale migration. At least you need a pass, otherwise it is impossible to go too far.

Mu Li has been observing the surrounding situation and the direction of the trees.

Soon there was news from the police station.

According to the information obtained from the household registration at the police station, the number of recorded migrants was only seven.

And these seven people are a family, and they are also very familiar with these seven people.

It is the richest man who cooperated with them to jointly develop this place.

When Lin Zi got this news, it was like a thunderbolt, and the person in charge who was sent over was obviously stunned.

He didn't know that this place was actually their residence, and he had never heard anyone in the family talk about it.

The person sent by the richest man said that he knew nothing, and didn't know that his family was actually from this village.

Soon Lin Zi contacted her younger brother Lin Shu and got the phone number of the person in charge's brother.

He was also one of the people who could be investigated when leaving the village.

The call was quickly connected, and a steady male voice came from the other end: "Ms. Lin, what can I do for you?"

Lin Zi quickly calmed herself down and asked: "The project that our two families jointly developed, the village where my father disappeared, was your former home? Why have you never told us about this?"

There was an obvious pause on the other end, more than ten seconds, as if he was organizing his words.

"Ms. Lin, although we are cooperating on this project, it is related to our family's private affairs, and it seems unnecessary to explain it to you."

Lin Zi heard his cold words, thinking of her parents who had disappeared for such a long time, and she didn't know what they had experienced.

Suddenly, she got a little emotional: "This is your private matter, but my parents are missing in your hometown. There is something obviously wrong with this place. Why have you kept it a secret until now? Is this matter related to you?" There

was still a long silence on the other side. After a long time, an answer was finally given, but this answer was worse than no answer.

"Ms. Lin, please control your emotions. We have been away from our hometown for a long time. What happened there has nothing to do with us. Regarding our living here, this is our private matter. If you have any questions, you can contact my secretary. I have the right to choose to answer or not. If there is nothing else, then I will hang up the phone first."

Before Lin Zi could answer, the other side had hung up the phone.

Only Lin Zi was left helpless and furious. It took her a long time to calm down.

Looking at the people around her, especially the person in charge sent by the richest man, her eyes seemed to be pierced with knives.

"This place is not right, and that family must know the reason, otherwise they would not have that attitude."

Lin Zi seemed to be irrationally angry just now, but in fact she wanted to use her anger to test the thoughts of the person on the other end of the phone.

The richest man was very tight-lipped about this matter, and it was obvious that he knew something.

At the same time, the police received a call, and the Materials Department actually investigated the specific information of the village at that time.

A part of the flower list of this village was also found, but the information in this part was tricky.

This village is called Zhuhua Village. More than 40 years ago, they had several mountains full of bamboo.

Most people in their village can weave, and they sell their weaving frames and some handicrafts.

At that time, handicrafts were not as expensive as they are now. The whole village, both men and women, would weave various handicrafts together and then sell them.

The bamboo they used for weaving would bloom every year, and after blooming, it would produce bamboo fruits, which are a kind of very fragrant rice.

At this time, the people in their village would organize everyone to collect bamboo fruits together, and then send them to the market or supply and marketing cooperatives to sell, and the money from the sales would be distributed to each household.

Although the clothes were not rich, everyone lived a good life.

The original records came to an abrupt end 40 years ago. The records before 40 years ago can still be found, but after that, it was as if the village had completely disappeared. There was no longer any flower list or record.

It was as if the people had disappeared overnight.

Even the village party secretary and the director disappeared. The police were called immediately, but there is still no news after so many years.

The village party secretary and the director were both people in the village. They disappeared with the village, and no one continued to bring the case to light for them.

After several decades, the case was naturally piled up.

After reading all the information, everyone knew in their hearts that the key to breaking the deadlock lies in these seven people.
