He seemed to notice the female shopkeeper's behavior. He pressed his hands in the air and said softly: "Wang Yaqing, you don't have to be afraid. I am a reporter, not a policeman. Moreover, I am a freelance reporter. No one knows that I am here."

1. The male reporter recalled the massacre

It was a hot night on an island off the eastern coast.

The female shopkeeper had just delivered a takeaway cup of apricot peel tea when she suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wang Yaqing!"

The female shopkeeper suddenly raised her head and quickly looked away, as if she was afraid of hearing the name.

The other party is a man in his thirties.

There was no one in the store now. Across the counter, the female shopkeeper’s right hand touched the knife next to her, and the tip of the knife was pointed at the man outside the counter.

He seemed to notice the female shopkeeper's behavior, pressed his hands in the air, and said softly: "Wang Yaqing, you don't have to be afraid, I am a reporter, not a policeman, and I am a freelance reporter, no one knows that I am here. "

"You have the wrong person. I am Li Qingqing who runs the store, not Wang Yaqing." The female shop owner pointed to the business license on the wall.

He took two steps forward, keeping a distance of half a meter from the counter, and said: "You are indeed alive. I will not admit the wrong person. You must be Wang Yaqing."

"I am doing business and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. "If you want to buy tea, just order. If you don't want to buy, just leave." The female shopkeeper did not let go of the knife in her right hand.

"Forget it if you don't admit it. As a reporter, I just want to seek the truth of the matter. What is the truth about the murder case in Kontian Village two years ago?"

"What Kontian Village? What murder case? I don't know what you are talking about. "What?"

The male reporter sat down and said slowly: "Let me help you recall. Two years ago, there was a village in Kuntian somewhere in the southwest. One night, a villager's house in the east end of the village suddenly caught fire. , the whole family was burned to death."

The female shopkeeper said coldly.

The reporter continued: "There are a total of five dead people. Four men and one woman. According to the villagers, among them are a family of three from the village, an old man and his two sons, and the other man and woman are from other places."

The female shop owner’s cell phone rang with a takeout order.

The reporter lowered his hat, put on the mask more tightly, and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone see it. I came here alone just to verify my idea." The reporter took out Pulse took a sip and said, "There is a man and a woman from out of town, from a company in the east. The man's name is Zhou Weiqiang, and the woman's name is Wang Yaqing."

The female shop owner raised her eyebrows inadvertently.

"Zhou Weiqiang is the boss of this company, and Wang Yaqing is an employee. The police conducted a visit and investigation in the village. Wang Yaqing and Zhou Weiqiang were traveling from other places. They stayed in this villager's house that night, but a fire suddenly broke out. All of them Dead."

A delivery boy came in and gave the order number.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." The female shopkeeper skillfully prepared the milk tea and handed it to the delivery man.

After the male reporter waited for the delivery man to go out, he showed a smile and said: "The cause of the fire. According to the police analysis, it was probably that after using the stove at night, the fire inside was not completely extinguished. The wind blew it and sparks The child fell on the wood shavings on the ground. The whole house was made of wood. It was autumn again and it was very dry. The fire spread quickly...

But the strange thing was that none of the five people ran away. Logically speaking, even if they were sleeping, He was sleeping deeply, even if the fire was strong, even if the wooden door latch was damaged and couldn't be opened, someone would be able to escape, but unfortunately not! I was involved in this case at the time and contacted the police. Several police officers suspected this. The fire was man-made, but there is no evidence."

"I don't know what this has to do with me?" the female shopkeeper said flatly.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, why are you anxious? Firstly, even if it was man-made, the murderer may be dead and cannot be investigated; secondly, these five people have no criminal motive, because the villagers We have confirmed that the man and the woman were traveling from out of town, and they did not know the family of three before."

The male reporter drank up the pulse in the bottle, stood up, and approached the female shopkeeper: "After the fire was burned, it was completely gone. It took twenty days before someone discovered and reported the crime. Do you know why?”

The female shop owner looked calm: “I’ve seen what you said before, because the family lived a little far away from the village. Many days had passed when the villagers found out. "

" Yes, it is said that the family was very poor and the old man was not mentally normal yet, so he found a remote place to build a house and rarely interacted with other people in the village. , relying on farming and growing vegetables to support themselves. The fire burned so hard that all five people were burned to bones. After so many days, there were wild animals outside the village. In the end, none of the five people’s bones were found, and among them The most important thing is that the woman only found a burnt finger bone. Do you know why?"

The female shop owner smiled calmly: "You have already said that there were wild beasts around, and it must have been taken away by the wild beasts. "

" That's right. Some of the bones of the other four men were more or less taken away by the beast. However, the beast was not so lucky and just left a finger for this woman. You say, what if. Without this finger, the police are not sure whether the woman is dead. They might count her as a suspect and leave only one finger. This woman might be alive now. "

After the male reporter finished speaking somewhat eccentrically, he lowered his head and stared at the female shopkeeper's hand like an arrow.

2. The woman locked in the cellar

My thoughts suddenly returned to two years ago.

I opened my eyes.

There was darkness all around, it was so complete black that I couldn't see anything clearly, not even my own body.

I had a headache that was going to explode. I tried to stretch my arms, and there was a metallic collision sound in the darkness.

My poor hands and feet, they are all locked in shackles.

My hair is messy, my skirt is still there, the pendant around my neck is gone, and my underwear is gone. My body is in pain, and a pungent fishy smell floats into my nose from time to time. You don’t need to think about it to know that when I was in a coma, ,what happened!

I know that at this moment, I must be like a toad with its limbs stretched out, trapped here.

Based on my feeling, I can roughly tell that I am sitting on the ground covered with hay, with my back against a brick wall. I try to push my back, but the uneven bricks hurt me, and the wall is obviously It's impossible for me to break through.

I tried to think back: The company held a cocktail party. I drank too much and ran out alone to get some air. Someone suddenly attacked me from behind and covered me with a towel. I fell unconscious. They had obviously prepared it in advance. Medicine...

This was a premeditated incident, I was kidnapped!

My blood suddenly surged, I became violent, my limbs shook desperately, I couldn't break free at all, and I couldn't even stand up.

The air was stale, filled with a rotten smell, humid and stuffy. I tried shouting twice, but the sound was very thin and had no echo. This was probably a small and cramped basement.

I don’t have a mobile phone, I can’t move, and I don’t even know where I am being held. I can’t even be sure if I’m still in the country. What should I do?

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound, and a bright light appeared above the head in the upper right corner.

Accompanied by heavy and slow footsteps, a black figure walked down the wooden stairs and stopped in front of me.

He held a flashlight in his hand, and the bright light hit my face, making me instantly blind.

A hand suddenly pinched the right side of my face.

There was a gurgling sound coming from his mouth. The sound was very loud and he sounded very happy. I knew that this must be their dialect.

The only good thing is that this is definitely not a foreign language and I am still in China.

This man’s hands were like leather. He kneaded my face and thighs arbitrarily, and he didn’t let go of any fleshy areas.

I shouted hoarsely a few times, but he kneaded more vigorously, gasping for air.

I have no way to stop him, I can only let him control me like an animal.

"Brother, come up quickly." Half Mandarin half dialect shouts sounded outside.

The man retracted his hand and turned away. The flashlight flashed across his eyes, and I seemed to see my own weak shadow in them.

No, no matter where this is, no matter what they do to me, as long as I don’t die, I must escape!

No one can stop me from what I want to do. That was the case before and it is the same now!

With a bang, a face plate was placed in front of me, and I smelled a hint of vegetables.

The sound of keys sounded, and my handcuffs were released. Once my hands were free, I pounced forward and grabbed them without thinking.

In the darkness, I grabbed a hand, and it quickly retracted. I instinctively held on to it, but my foot was tripped by the iron chain, and I fell down like a dog. It's pickles.

I coughed violently.

"If you move again, I will tie you up. If you don't move, my hands will not be tied up." The other party spoke in very non-standard Mandarin. It sounded like the person who called "Brother".

It seems that it was two brothers who kidnapped and imprisoned me.

"Where is this? What do you want to do?" I asked in a low voice without shouting.

"This is our home."

"Where is this?"

He said the name of a prefecture-level city.

I guessed it right. This is a province in the west. It seems that I was transported thousands of kilometers in a coma. With an unconscious person, it was impossible for them to take transportation and could only drive by themselves. I must have encountered a professional trafficker.

That’s not right. Let’s not talk about whether there are human traffickers in my city. Even if there are, how could they prepare drugs and vehicles in advance and wait at the place where we hold the reception? As soon as I went out in the middle of the journey, I happened to be tricked?

is too coincidental, there must be something wrong.

"Every day I will bring you something to eat. If your hands are not tied, you can poop in this bucket and the water is over here."

From the moonlight that came through, I saw the wooden bucket on the left and the wooden bucket on the right. of water.

"Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Do you know what the crime of abducting a woman is? It's a death sentence. It's a death! You and your brother are going to be shot. Shot, do you understand?" I deliberately put "death" "The word is very strong.

"No, no," he waved his hands one after another, "You can't get out, you are here, no one knows, and even if the people in the village know, they won't tell it. You will be our wife and give birth to our son."

I don't have it. You heard me wrong, he didn't say "I", but "us". In all likelihood, I was sold here to be the wife of the two brothers.

I twisted my body, feeling uncomfortable again.

The smell of pickles wafted into my nose again. My stomach was churning and my head was dizzy. I rubbed and scratched my body desperately with my hands, trying to peel off this layer of skin and replace it with a new one.

This man was sitting across from me and looking at me, like a cat looking at a mouse.

does not work! I can't let him see my cowardice, no matter what, I will show it to him!

I bit my lip hard, grabbed two black chopsticks in the basin, and picked up the food.

I'm really hungry. I don't care about anything, as long as I can fill my stomach and prevent myself from dying.

I finished eating quickly and noticed that the man opposite me stood up.

"You have read and gone to school, right?" I thought that this brother could speak Mandarin after all. As long as he was willing to chat a few words, it should be a breakthrough.

He didn’t answer me, silently walked up to me and roughly held my hands.

I have to stop him!

At the moment when I pushed hard with both hands, he spoke: "Don't move, tie it up if you move, don't tie it up if you don't move."

If you resist at this time, your hands will eventually be locked by them, and you will be powerless in the end. I was at my mercy, and had I kept my hands free, I would have had a chance of escape.

So, I immediately stopped all resistance actions.

It was just my teeth that bit my lower lip until it bled, and I swallowed the blood.

It's salty and smells like rust.

I must take revenge and make their lives worse than death!

No, let them die!

3. The female shopkeeper’s suspicion

The male reporter looked at the female shopkeeper’s left hand, with five slender fingers intact.

The female shop owner’s right hand has been placed under the counter. She just made milk tea with one hand.

The male reporter suddenly approached the counter, stretched his head and saw the female shop owner's right hand holding the knife tightly.

The five fingers are well on it!

The female shopkeeper let go of the knife, glanced at the stunned male reporter, and said: "Why, are you disappointed? I have already said that I am not Wang Yaqing. Wang Yaqing has been burned to death, with only one finger left. Head."

"No, no, it won't be wrong, my reasoning will definitely not be wrong..." the male reporter smiled confidently.

The female shop owner did not issue an eviction order. She picked up her mobile phone and responded to customers' reviews on the takeout platform.

"Do you know how I found you?" the male reporter asked.

He did not wait for the female shopkeeper to answer. He took out a small book in his backpack, opened the record on it, and said:

"At that time, I followed the whole thing and found a problem. Four days before the incident, Zhou Weiqiang - that is The foreign man, the owner of a start-up company, received a phone call. Of course, the content of the phone call cannot be found, but two things can be determined.

First, the call was made from a landline more than 20 kilometers away from the village. In this town, there was a small shop. The owner of the small shop said that he didn't know anything. He was looking at the shop alone, and he went to the toilet to take a shit. Secondly, Zhou Weiqiang received a call. After that, he immediately set off from his city and drove here. "

"Oh? Zhou Weiqiang came alone. Didn't he come with Wang Yaqing?" the female shop owner asked curiously.

"It is actually conjecture that the two of them traveled together. According to Wang Yaqing's colleagues, she disappeared many days before the incident. She disappeared from the world and completely lost contact. The finger was not completely burned. , after verification by DNA, they are related to Wang Yaqing’s mother. "

" Well, what else? "The female shop owner also seems to be interested.

"In Zhou Weiqiang's car there were Wang Yaqing's fingerprints, Wang Yaqing's lipstick, and a pair of underwear with Zhou Weiqiang's human tissue on them. Therefore, the police concluded that Wang Yaqing was probably in love with Zhou Weiqiang, who was the boss. Therefore, it was not convenient to stay in the same company, so I resigned and did not contact my colleagues again. They drove to this place together, and then a fire broke out and they died. "

"Well, it makes sense," the female shop owner said.

"No! Unreasonable!" the reporter shouted, "First, who made the call in that town? Zhou Weiqiang obviously drove more than 2,000 kilometers to come here after receiving the call! Why did he come? Come here? Thousands of miles to die?

Secondly, although Zhou Weiqiang is the boss, he and Wang Yaqing are both single. What is the secret of their love? Is it necessary to disappear from the world? According to Wang Yaqing's colleagues, Yaqing held it in the company. "She suddenly disappeared during a celebration party. It seems to me," the reporter reached out and slid his hand on the small book, "It seems to me that she was kidnapped!"

"You are very imaginative, what next?"

"My theory is that Wang Yaqing's sudden disappearance may have been abducted. For example, she was kidnapped by Zhou Weiqiang. After the abduction, she might have been sold to Gangtian Village, and then Wang Yaqing was kept here. But Suddenly one day, she escaped, so she planned to take revenge, so she made a phone call and invited Zhou Weiqiang to kill him together. "

" Haha, are today's reporters so ridiculous? "

"No, no, I may have imagined some of the details, or even added jealousy, but I have a key piece of evidence in my hand that can prove my conjecture and your identity!"

The female shop owner once again Hold the knife.

4. A high-spirited returnee girl

I can’t just waste my life here!

In the darkness, I remembered the past.

html In 2014, I was in the third year of junior high school and my grades were very good.

won the national first prize in the Chinese newspaper cup for composition, and won the second place in the provincial oral competition in English. As a girl, it is not unusual for me to be good at liberal arts. What others don’t understand the most is that my math and science have always been the best. First in grade.

During the parent-teacher meeting, the head teacher said: "I know that many students in our class are attending cram school, but Wang Yaqing has never been to a cram school for a day. Facts have proved that the most important thing for learning is to rely on oneself.

You guys Look at Yaqing, in terms of time management alone, she is better than us teachers. She listens carefully to classes every day, completes homework efficiently, finds questions to do on her own, and ensures half an hour of extracurricular reading and half an hour of physical exercise. Finally, she I am the only one in our class who sleeps more than eight hours..."

I was established as a model in the class and even the school.

Seeing that I looked a little arrogant, my mother said: "Yaqing, don't be proud. These are all external things. Good grades, high scores, and going to a good university. The most important purpose is to give you the ability to realize your dreams." The most important thing in this life is to realize yourself. You still have a long way to go in the future. You are the only daughter of your parents. We have laid the foundation for you. Even if you don’t work hard and don’t go to college, you can still be prosperous in this city. However, we still hope that you work harder than others, so that your life will be more exciting. "

At that time, of course, I couldn't fully understand my mother's meaning. All I could do was follow the current plan. Go down.

A few months later, I was admitted in advance to the third-ranked high school in the province based on my ability.

Three years later, I successfully applied to an established foreign university.

Some people suggested that I study popular majors such as "computer science, finance, biomedicine ". After consideration, I followed my inner thoughts: I chose to study art and study my favorite arts such as music, sculpture, painting, and architecture.

I stayed abroad for six full years and decided to return to China.

It’s not that it’s not good to go abroad, it may be that I miss the old country in my heart and always feel that if I can come back and do something, life will be more exciting.

However, if I could have predicted what would happen next, I might not necessarily come back.

Generally speaking, people who have returned from studying abroad do not have a wide range of choices. Most people give priority to these options: go to a multinational company, go to an entrepreneurial company, or start their own business.

Instead of returning to my hometown, I went to a big city in the south, observed it for two months, and chose an entrepreneurial company.

Their main business direction is to develop artistic software. To put it simply, it is to restore some works of art, including but not limited to paintings, sculptures, folk art, etc., in 3D form, and then put them into this Software, users can experience these works of art in an all-round and real way.

We mainly start with domestic artworks. There are two difficulties. The first is to discuss cooperation. These artworks are copyrighted, so how to negotiate copyright is a problem. The second is how to get users to pay. After all, we are a business. As a company, only with profits can we ensure our healthy development.

The second item is the responsibility of the sales and operations department. The business development department where I work is responsible for external negotiations. We definitely cannot talk about national-level artworks. We are currently targeting some prefecture-level cities and strive to receive some provincial-level artworks.

This job sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do. The copyright holders of many artworks are local museums, libraries, and art galleries. In the first month, I visited seven museums and art galleries in China. Our requirements They were all rejected for many reasons. In fact, I know that there is only one reason: they are afraid of losing the traffic of offline visitors.

I was a little frustrated. The founder of the company, Zhou Weiqiang, said: "You are a top student in the art industry in China and even the world. What are you afraid of? You will definitely win. I am optimistic about you."

Zhou Weiqiang should be in his forties, very tall and He is very handsome and has the charm of a middle-aged man when he smiles. It is said that he is very popular among young girls.

However, I have no feelings for him at all, I just regard him as a colleague in the workplace.

Until one day, he stretched out his hands to my pink skirt.

There is a reason for this - whether in the company or out for negotiation, I maintain the habit I have had in the West for many years: dress freely.

As a cultural and artistic startup company, there are mostly young people, with an average age of less than 27. Of course, there are no rules and regulations, but I can still feel that in the eyes of everyone, I may be a little different.

One morning, I entered the door of the office building and turned to wait for the elevator. I vaguely heard two male property security guards saying: "Who is this?" "It seems to be on the seventh floor." "The one who is engaged in art?" "What? Art, wearing so little, I guess it's probably..." followed by a burst of malicious laughter.

There was a meeting. Seven people were sitting in a circle. The director of the operations department who was about to summarize and review forgot to speak until the person next to him poked him with a stylus. I found that his eyes also stayed on mine. on the back.

Zhou Weiqiang called me into the office and said: "I think your habit of wearing clothes should..."

"What should it be? Isn't it everyone's freedom to wear clothes? Does it violate the law or morality if I dress like this?"

"Well, that's not true, but look," Zhou Weiqiang slowly approached me, "your skirt is already here, it's easy to be exposed..."

said, his right hand reached over and touched the skirt on the outside of my thigh. I touched it.

"pop"! I slapped the back of his hand: "What are you doing?!"

"I, I'm just reminding..."

"You don't need to remind me, I don't wear clothes to seduce anyone. I am single now and have no interest in men. , I’m even less interested in you. What’s wrong with you being the CEO? It’s not a big deal to start a company. My ex-boyfriend is a doctor, taller and more handsome than you. My family’s money can buy your company..."

He He stood there with his mouth wide open. It was probably the first time he heard a woman speak to him like this.

But he doesn’t know that this is the real me. When I live, I don’t need to please anyone or look at anyone’s face. I just want to make myself better.

Someone dares to touch me. As long as he dares to stretch out his hand, I will dare to fight back. If he dares to stretch out his hand, I will hit him!

That night, I received a message from Zhou Weiqiang: "Yaqing, I want to apologize for my behavior this afternoon. Please forgive me for my impulsiveness. Please believe that I will never do it again. I will seriously work with everyone to treat... The company will do better and the art industry will do better. "

"Okay, I can also promise you that we will win an art museum this month. "

I did not break my promise. On the last day of this month, a certain person in the central part of the country will do so. An art gallery in a prefecture-level city signed a contract with us and was willing to sell us the copyright of fifteen paintings at a reasonable price.

That night, Zhou Weiqiang invited me to dinner alone, and I agreed without thinking.

We had Western food, with candlelight and red wine. We sat in the middle, surrounded by couples.

"Congratulations, you have won the largest order since the company was founded. These works are all portraits of the human body, which are very avant-garde. Their listing will definitely attract more users. Come on, cheers!"

We drank a lot and walked out When we were in the restaurant, our steps were a little sloppy.

"Let's take a walk by the river." Zhou Weiqiang said. There is a small river opposite the

restaurant. It is a May night, the temperature is charming, the spring breeze is blowing, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Walking by the river, there are still couples around.

We talked a lot about the domestic entrepreneurial environment, domestic art, the future of the company...

When talking about the rise, he said: "I came from a small village in the west, and I went through all kinds of hardships to get a master's degree in art, haha After so many years, my dream of becoming a painter has long been shattered. If I can make some contribution to art through this company, it will be worthwhile. Yaqing, can I invite you to be a partner of the company?"

I shook my head with a smile. .

"Do you think our company has no future?"

"No, on the contrary, I think it is very promising. I have just returned to China not long ago, and I am not very sure about my abilities. It would not be good to become a partner rashly. "

"Okay, but I really thank you. Starting a business is not easy. This company will be more exciting with you." Zhou Weiqiang turned around excitedly and stretched out his hands.

I also stretched out my hands and hugged him.

Suddenly, I felt his breathing become rapid and his body pressed closer. I took a deep breath and pushed him away: "What are you doing?"

"I, I, you, didn't you agree? ? "

" What did I agree to? "

" You hugged me, but you agreed to be my girlfriend? I don't have a family, and I'm single like you. "It's a courtesy for me to hug you!" Your gratitude is not the same thing as being a boyfriend or girlfriend, don’t talk nonsense!”

“You, that’s Western etiquette...”

“So what, it’s not too late for me to tell you now, I’ll say it again, I have nothing to do with you! There is no interest now, and there will be no interest in the future. "

Zhou Weiqiang did not apologize this time, and I did not pursue it. I just regarded it as a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences.

I even blame myself for staying abroad for a long time and getting used to that culture. I need to be more careful in the future.

I just didn't expect that things would develop like that.

In one quarter, I signed six art galleries and one museum, which greatly enriched the content of our art works. With the increase in content, the number of users has tripled, and paying users are also growing.

The company decided to hold a cocktail party to celebrate.

That night, I wore a pure black dress and hung a platinum Bulgari pendant around my neck. Under the light, I could feel many blazing eyes on me, either admiring or scornful.

Zhou Weiqiang smiled brightly, kept toasting, and promised on the spot that he would learn from Ren Zhengfei and allocate the company's shares to everyone present, because everyone is the veteran of the company.

Everyone was very excited. We drank wine back and forth. The more we talked, the more outrageous we talked, and the more we boasted.

I feel very dizzy. If I don't go out to breathe, I may suffocate and die. The moment he went out, he seemed to see Zhou Weiqiang turning around and making a phone call.

I opened the door and walked out alone. The moonlight above my head was very white. I looked up and imagined my future. Suddenly, I felt a heat on my neck, and an arm came up from behind. I was about to shout, but my mouth was hit by something. The ball covered my head. I took a deep breath and prepared to push him away, but I felt dizzy and couldn't exert any strength.

"Oh no, I must be drugged!" Before I could react, my consciousness left me like a burst of smoke.

I seem to have had many dreams. The whole person seems to be floating in the air for a while, floating on the sea for a while, like being blown to pieces by a cannonball, and for a while it seems to be burned to ashes by fire.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally gained some clarity and opened my eyes.

I was kidnapped and imprisoned. It must be Zhou Weiqiang who did it. I don’t know why he did it, but it must be him!

In the next few days - no, to be precise, in this dark cellar, I had no concept of time, and I had no idea what day and night were.

Next, the two brothers took turns bringing me food. The food was all the same, vegetables radish , sweet potatoes and potatoes... They all looked like they were boiled and had no taste at all.

I tolerated it and did not resist, and my hands were never cuffed. According to my observation, the key to the remaining shackle is not on them. It should be in the house. Unless one of them gets it for me or opens it for me, it is unrealistic for me to grab it by myself, because There is no way out of this door.

I endured it for many days, and when I was about to lose hope, something suddenly changed. That day, my brother who spoke Mandarin said in my ear: "Son, I want a son, and the first son must be mine!"

I had an idea instantly.

5. Reporter’s key evidence

“What evidence do you have?” asked the female shopkeeper.

"Don't worry," the male reporter laughed, "Actually, at the crime scene, iron chains and a knife were also found. I feel that the iron chain looks like a lock. The knife was burned It was dark and no fingerprints could be detected, but the police later found out that the knife belonged to Zhou Weiqiang. The police even found the owner of the online store where Zhou Weiqiang bought the knife. So the question is, why did Zhou Weiqiang carry the knife? "

" A man. It is normal for a woman to bring a knife for self-defense when traveling in a remote place. "

" However, I have another theory. If the knife was a murder weapon and was burned by a fire after killing someone, that would be a sure sign. It won't come out. "

" "Forget it, I won't make it up. Do you know what my evidence is?" Panic captured.

"It's very late, I'm closing."

The male reporter took out a piece of paper from his bag and waved it in front of the female shop owner: "Oh, it took me two full months of tracking to find this certificate. How? So, this evidence is strong enough."

The female shop owner's face changed. Seeing this evidence, she could no longer remain calm.

The male reporter laughed heartily: "I like this feeling, hahaha. Let me make a bold guess. After you escaped, you probably avoided surveillance all the way. Maybe you even used your beauty to get a ride. Then, you found I went to a private hospital to bandage my finger.

You never went home, but you explained the situation to your parents. Later, you spent a lot of money to have someone change your name on your ID card. After the case subsided and the police stopped pursuing it, you were alone. Escaped to this island, opened this shop with the funds provided by my family, it is a very exciting crime, and then washed away, am I right?

The female shopkeeper was silent for a long time and said, "How much does it cost for your certificate?" "

" Hahahaha, I knew you would come here with me. As a reporter, I just want the truth, and then... If you want me not to tell it, you can do it. In addition to giving money, you can also... Haha, you It’s all like this, what are you afraid of? Anyone can come..." The male reporter said, walked up and grabbed the female shop owner’s hand.

Unexpectedly, the female shop owner did not resist at all...

6. The one who destroyed the family. Revenge

Let’s start with this brother who can speak Mandarin.

I don’t know what time it is. I woke up in a daze.

I didn’t wake up by myself. I woke up because of the smell of the toilet. It seemed like it was outside today. The wind was very strong, and the air poured into this semi-basement, causing the smell in the toilet to surge. This was a toilet that had been stored for more than half a month. When the weak light came in, I could see fat maggots crawling inside.

I scratched subconsciously. I wasn't sure if there were maggots on my body, but even if there weren't, I knew it wouldn't be much cleaner than the toilet.

There was a sound of unlocking, and the wooden door opened with a squeak.

My brother walked down. When he saw me, he rushed towards me like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

I had already decided what to do.

I used all my strength to cooperate with him.

He suddenly stopped. Ask: “You, are you willing? "

I kissed him hard on the mouth and said: "Of course I am willing, I have never rejected you, but..."

"But what? "

"But, I just want to be with you, your brother, I don't want to be with him..."

"Why? You belong to both of us brothers! "

" No, I am yours, not his. Don't you want to have a son? "

" Well, you want to give birth to one for me! "

"It's easiest for me to get pregnant these days, but your brother is rushing to come. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will..."

"No! The first baby you give birth to must be mine. "

" I have a way, I don't know if it works? "I leaned into his ear and said, "You put me somewhere else, don't let your brother see me first, and then put me back when I'm pregnant with your child. "

He looked at me doubtfully: "What should I do if my brother asks? "

" Just say that I disappeared or escaped, and then you will say that I was found by you. "

He hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "What if you really escaped? "

" I won't escape. "

" is a lie! Two of them had escaped before. "

I was shocked. It turned out that I was not the only one who was harmed by them. So, it would be right to say that they deserved their death.

I gritted my teeth and asked: "How many days have I been here? "

" what? "

I repeat the question again.

"It's been two months, I can't remember. "

" It's been two months. Do you know why you can't get pregnant? "

" Why? "

"This place is not good, it's too dirty. I don't eat well, and I don't sleep well..."

He waved his hands repeatedly: "You eat well, it couldn't be better..."

"Then If I change places, I will definitely be able to conceive your child. "

He suddenly grabbed my neck and said, "Don't run. If you run, I will kill you.""

I sneered in my heart, hugged him gently with both hands, and licked his lips: "I won't run away, don't worry. "

" Wait until my brother falls asleep. You eat first. "He put down the food.

I picked up a piece of radish and put it to my mouth. I felt nauseated. This happened two weeks ago. I knew I was pregnant, but I didn't know whose child it was.

It must have been late at night. He took the key and ran in, unlocked my shackles, held my hand firmly, and took me out.

The moonlight shone brightly above my head, and I stretched out my hand to remove the handcuffs from my waist. The two bugs were breathing heavily, as if they had just come back from the underworld.

I was very cautious along the way, until he took me to a small room at the back of the wooden house and locked the simple wooden door from the inside.

In the darkness, he walked. He bent down and prepared to cuff me again.

Will I give him this chance?

I aimed my right leg at his chin and pushed it forward, only to hear a "crunch". , he covered his chin and fell to the ground in pain, unable to say a word.

I didn’t dare to be careless at all. I hit his head hard with the elbow of my right hand, then squatted down and pushed my knee into his crotch. .

In the half-darkness, he looked like a mangy dog ​​that had just been castrated. He was half alive and could only breathe.

I took the shackles and shackled one of his feet. I took off my tattered clothes and stuffed his mouth.

I rushed out of the house and went straight to his brother's room - his position was so easy to find because I could hear his snoring.

The door was unlocked, and when I pushed in with a squeak, I was actually touching a face.

The face was thin, dark, and covered with wrinkles. When he saw me, his eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth opened. "Wuwu" shouted.

I didn't understand the dialect he spoke, but I could probably guess what he meant. He probably shouted: "She ran away!" "

I saw it clearly. This was an old man. He should be the father of the two brothers. I have respected my elders since I was a child, but I only regarded the old man in front of me as an animal.

I couldn't help but think too much, and I grabbed him His thin head hit the wall hard, and he fell down like a dull gourd without making any sound.

On a big bed, my brother was lying on his back, his snoring still loud. It seemed that this guy was. He slept deeply, maybe because I spent too much energy on him.

I took a wooden stick, walked to his bed, and hit it on his head.

The snoring stopped suddenly, and the whole room was quiet.

For a moment, I stood there blankly, almost forgetting who I was and where I was.

I tried my best to lock the father and son into that room. Inside, three people were tied together, their mouths were all blocked, and the door was locked. If it was in my hand, I had already observed that no other sound could be heard in this place except the father and son. At night, I climbed up a hill and looked around. I saw some faint lights in the distance. I stretched out my right arm, raised my thumb, and measured it. It seemed that the distance was at least ten kilometers.

It seemed that the father and son were three. People don't interact much with other villagers. Here's my chance!

I walked back to the wooden house. The old man was still unconscious, and the two brothers woke up.

I grabbed my brother's head and pushed it hard against the wall—— Yes, I will treat him the same way he treats me.

then said to his brother: "I will take the thing out of your mouth, don't yell, I will kill you if you yell!" Two questions for you, where is the nearest telephone? Who sold me to you? "

His face turned pale. He didn't know whether it was pain or fear. He said tremblingly: "The nearest phone number is in the town, in the town to the west. Brother Qiang gave it to us."

" Brother Qiang, which Brother Qiang? What's his name? "

" Zhou, Zhou Weiqiang. "

My head exploded with a bang. Although I had already suspected it, I never imagined that this Zhou Weiqiang could be a human trafficker?!

Wait, no, he was giving it away, not selling it!

"Do you know each other? Why did he send me to you? "

"I, we are classmates in elementary school..."

"What, you classmates in elementary school? ! "

" Yes, he went to the same elementary school in the town. He was sitting in front of me. I stopped studying after elementary school because I had to take care of my brother and father. He, Brother Qiang, was admitted to junior high school and high school. I heard I got into a very good university and worked as a boss outside. "

"Why did he give me to you? "

" I, we are too poor to afford a wife. I have bought a few before, but they all ran away. Brother Qiang, maybe because he saw how pitiful we were, he said he would give us one who had been abroad. Big, big beauties, play with them as you like. "

" Why didn't the police call the police and arrest you when the woman ran away? "

"I don't know, but maybe I don't dare to report it..."

I instantly understood that for a woman who has been abducted, for the sake of her own reputation, once she escapes, the most likely option is not to call the police, but to choose Silence and conceal this past.

In this case, I have to implement my plan!

"Why did Zhou Weiqiang do this suddenly?" Does he have a good relationship with you brothers? "

" It wasn't very good. I don't know why. Brother Qiang suddenly returned to his hometown in the town one day and told us that there was a beautiful woman. He would send someone to drive to the door. We would just lock her up when we arrived. "

"How many girls have you harmed? "

" What, what a disaster, women are just for giving birth to babies. Brother Qiang understands us so well even after he went to college, and even gives us women... You let us go immediately, otherwise, our whole village will do it. Damn you! "

I remembered a key thing and asked again: "People from your village don't come here often, do they? "

" Someone will come over in one or a month. When was the last time "

" came? "I choked him.

"One, a week ago. "

I knew it well, and I had to take a gamble!

I took off their smelly clothes and put them on myself. Then I locked the door to make sure they couldn't escape. I calculated the direction based on the moonlight and walked to the west.

I didn’t dare to stop for a moment, and I didn’t know how long I had walked. My feet were scratched by thorns, I fell down, I was thirsty, I was hungry, it didn’t matter to me, until daybreak, I finally arrived in the town.

There must be no surveillance here. I covered my face and walked around the town quickly, and I spotted a small shop.

There was only one shop owner, and there was a bright red phone next to him.

I was there. Waiting for him in the corner, I felt the urge to pee. Without thinking, I just pooped on my pants. Compared with the cellar full of feces, urine and bugs, what was this?

The shopkeeper suddenly held his stomach and ran to the toilet.

I rushed to the toilet. Go over and dial the number

"Hello, who is this?" "A familiar voice came.

"Zhou Weiqiang, it's me, Wang Yaqing. "

There is no sound on the phone.

"Zhou Weiqiang, I have arrested two brothers. They said you were the one who sent me here. When you handed me over to them, I was photographed by a person traveling outdoors. Now , the photo is in my hand, if you want me not to call the police, come here alone.

was silent for a long time, and then he said: "What do you want?" "

" I used to lie to you when I said my family was rich. My family is bankrupt. I want five million. You bring five million in cash and I will delete the photos. After that, no one knows anyone else. ."

" You have escaped, why don't you come over? "

" I want to take revenge on the brothers and imprison them for a week, but don't worry, what I want most is your money. I know that you are not short of this money. "

"Okay, but you..." Zhou Weiqiang agreed.

"Just like you kidnapped me, drive directly to the brothers' house. You are familiar with the road. If I don’t see you after three days, I’ll call the police. "

I hung up the phone.

I want to maintain this kind of deterrence. The more this happens, the more he believes.

I returned to the brothers' home and ate all the food I could find, and also fed them some. Make sure they are not dead now.

I have made all preparations, such as washing my body in the stream, just waiting for Zhou Weiqiang to arrive.

Zhou Weiqiang is indeed a top student and very punctual. Three days later, I saw his car. Driving along the narrow village road, the car was covered with mud.

The car stopped and I stepped forward.

"Where are the photos?" "He asked right away.

"What's the rush? "

Under the moonlight, I stood almost without any clothes.

Zhou Weiqiang stared at me, and suddenly, he hugged me into the car.

Haha, I knew he couldn't help it. This is exactly what I want. !

I lay on the spacious back seat extremely obediently...

He growled like a wild dog and said: "Didn't you fucking reject me? Aren't you not interested in me? Why, are you willing to do it after being sold? It doesn't matter if you don't fucking care anymore, then I'll satisfy you! "

I wiped my body with my underwear, put it under the seat, hooked it around his neck, and said, "Come here, I'll put the photo here." "

" The money is here. What I said is true. I took the photo and no one of us knew each other. "

" Haha, this is so easy to say. You have already done this to me. Do you really want to know no one in the future? ! "I brought him to the cabin.

Suddenly, he punched me in the head: "Damn it, you want to plot against me! "

I staggered and fell to the ground, and my eyesight went black.

He came towards me, holding a knife in his hand!

It seemed that he had not believed me, and he came to kill me!

I simply tilted my head and remained motionless, squinting my eyes. When he saw that I didn't move, he also slowed down, leaned down and pointed the knife at me, as if he was considering where to kill me with one blow.

I'm sure. Chance, he kicked him in the crotch.

The knife fell to the ground, and he wailed in pain. A low howl came from the wooden house not far away.

Since the four of them echoed each other, they were sent on the road together.

I grabbed the knife and stabbed Zhou Weiqiang several times in the leg. When he completely lost his ability to resist, I dragged him to the wooden house and tied him up with a chain, like a dog.

I looked at it. It was getting dark, and it was almost time.

lit a fire in the stove, returned to the house of the father and son, and dragged them over one by one. While dragging them, they found that the old man was dead, and there was something like pus flowing out of his mouth. It stuck to my feet.

The two brothers and Zhou Weiqiang wailed one after another. I picked up the knife that Zhou Weiqiang brought, recalled the human body structure diagram I studied when I was learning to draw, and touched my ribs with my left hand, holding the tip of the knife against it.

The brother who spoke in dialect opened his mouth wide and died.

The younger brother was frightened and trembling all over. I pulled out the knife and tried to aim it at his heart, but I couldn't get it right. , Forget it, I grabbed his head with my left hand and pulled it to the left. The knife in my right hand slid back and forth on his neck. The artery was broken and blood spattered.

I was not afraid at all.

"Let me go, I have 200,000 yuan in my car!" The thing in Zhou Weiqiang's mouth seemed not to be firmly stuffed, and he actually broke free.

"Only two hundred thousand? Isn't it five million?"

"I, I feel that you may be lying to me, so..."

"Whether I am lying to you or not, you are here to kill me, right?" "

Zhou Weiqiang was silent.

"I'm curious, why are you doing this to me? Can you tell the truth?" I stared at him with wide eyes.

He also looked into my eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "I came from a bad background. My parents forced me to study since I was a child. I have never been happy at all since I was a child. Because I am too introverted, I have always been disliked by girls. After graduating from college, I pursued many girls but were rejected by them. Me, I was a fucking waste in the eyes of girls!

Until you appeared, I thought it was a turning point. You studied abroad and studied art. We should meet. We have a common language, but I didn’t expect that even you rejected me, and you actually said you were not interested in me! Damn it, I am such a fucking failure, such a failure..."

Zhou Weiqiang actually cried.

I leaned into his ear and said: "So, you think you should retaliate against me, right?"

"Yes! I just want revenge! You guys look down on me. You wear so little every day and run to my office every day." , and you said you're not interested in me! Do you think you can do whatever you want because you're good-looking and have been abroad? I'm going to sell you! "I will torture you to death!"

Before he could finish his words, I put the knife into his heart.

"It's you who can do whatever you want, Brother Qiang." I said softly.

I ran to the stove and used a piece of wood to light the fire.

Then, I found a relatively clean knife in their house, put my left hand on the chopping board, bit a piece of firewood in my mouth, and swung the knife with my right hand...

Not only was the hand bleeding, but also the lower part of the leg was bleeding. It was also an abortion. All fees are saved.

I couldn't tell if I had fainted. I just threw my fingers into the fire, checked the vehicles outside again to make sure they wouldn't be burned, then wrapped my fingers, put on my clothes, and left.

7. Killing another

I hugged the male reporter tightly and asked: "I have promised you everything you want. Your proof will not have other backups, right?"

"There is no backup, because I don't want others to People take advantage of this."

I chuckled to myself, no matter how smart a man is, he will really tell the truth when he is lustful.

I remember him saying that no one knew he was here.

My shop is only a few hundred meters away from the sea. He was very thin. I must be able to hold his body...

The decision was made. I took the knife and cut him on the neck.

"You, you..." His throat seemed to be filled with plant ash.

"I am killing bad people like you. You are no different from them."

"You, why don't you kill all the people in Kontian Village? They gave perjury to the police. They all bought wives... "

"I'm sorry, my ability is limited and I can't kill all the bad guys in the world, but if you offend me, you will be punished!"

The male reporter died.

I didn't want to kill him. I don't like killing people and silencing them. It would be best if I could buy the evidence. However, he himself gave me a reason to kill him, because the moment he touched me, I already knew that he Like Zhou Weiqiang and the brothers, they are all the same.

I don’t even know his name. In fact, except for Zhou Weiqiang, I don’t know the names of the father and son either.

Why should I know? They had disappeared, like ashes.

Now that I have the experience last time, the next thing is very simple.

rinse the blood stains, wait for the opportunity to dump the body, and then verify what he said to see if his whereabouts are really unknown. If not, I will find a way to deal with it.

Anyway, my store is not monitored.

I took the piece of evidence from his hand.

Oh, it’s really hard for him. He can find such unorthodox things.

There are two things on the paper. On the left is a copied photo. The photo was taken when I was studying abroad. It is a close-up of my left hand with six fingers on it.

Four men and one woman died in a fire in a village. The reporter accidentally found a photo and found out the truth behind it.

On the right is a hospital record, which records that I bandaged my finger there.

A message popped up on the mobile phone, which was from the takeaway platform.

A female customer commented: "The tea in this shop is really delicious. Also, the paintings in her shop are so beautiful. I heard that the shop owner painted them himself. Let's go drink tea and enjoy the sea breeze when you have time. It's very healing. "

I immediately replied: "Thank you, I wish you will always be beautiful and brilliant." (Original title: "Women's Revenge: Escape from the Devil's Cave")
