Mystery Hunter - Chapter 123

[Chapter 123]

Jiang He heard someone sobbing in a low voice. When Jiang He looked back, he realized that the crying person was a female ghost who had just washed her face. Xiangmei has washed off the white powder on her face at this moment, revealing her original bloody skin care.

Xiangmei finally regained her blood. Judging from her appearance, Xiangmei should be around 30 years old this year. According to the current public aesthetics, Jiang He believes that Xiangmei should be regarded as a beautiful woman.

Big eyes, long eyelashes, and a small face.

Xiangmei covered her mouth with one hand, trying her best not to make a sound. Tears fell one after another, flowing quietly on Xiangmei’s face.

It was Xiangmei who was crying, after listening to the story of the Taoist priest.

Jiang He suddenly understood. She looked at Xiangmei and asked, “Are you one of the girls?”

Xiangmei was sobbing, but nodded.

Taoist priest Gao walked to Xiangmei’s side, hugged Xiangmei gently, and said to Jiang He, “That was a story from ten years ago, that girl’s name is He Caiwei, and my surname is not Gao, my name is He Caijie. The two girls who were kidnapped ten years ago, one is my sister He Caiwei, and the other is my sister’s best friend, Song Xiangmei.”

“It’s her.” Jiang He looked at Song Xiangmei who was beside him.

He Caijie patted Song Xiangmei’s shoulder with his hand, and at the same time he said to Jiang He, “That’s right, it’s her. It used to be a good summer vacation, it used to be a good day. But that day, my sister never came home again. Our family searched for a full day, but there was no sign of the two of them.”

“The next day, the family called the police, but there was no clue. The police found a few onlookers at the time, and those people didn’t know it at all. It was human trafficking in broad daylight, and they even insulted my sister, calling her an unfilial granddaughter.”

“Actually? When my grandfather found out about this, he was so angry that he was hospitalized, and he passed away within a few days. My sister has been the jewel of the family since she was a child. My mother couldn’t accept the fact that her sister was abducted and sold, and she became mentally ill. , and is still being treated in a mental hospital.”

“My father and I went out to search, and we never gave up looking for my sister’s whereabouts. We went to every corner of the neighborhood, and we went to village after village to find the whereabouts of my sister. Year after year, but there is no clue at all. We have spent all our savings, and in just five years, we have been to more places than I have been to in more than 20 years combined.”

Jiang He listened to He Caijie. The narration, followed by He Caijie’s words: “Until five years ago, you came to the barren village and found Song Xiangmei?”

He Caijie’s eyes were red when he heard Jiang He’s words, and he tried hard not to let his tears flow from his eyes: “That’s right. , This is a very accidental opportunity. Five years ago, my father gave up looking for my sister. The family’s savings were exhausted, and my mother also needed someone to take care of it. Do you know what a helpless move it was, Have you ever seen a big man with a hunched back and gray hair in just five years?”

“But I can’t forgive those traffickers, and I can’t forgive either. Those who buy wives from human traffickers.” He Caijie’s eyes were full of ferocity: “In the past five years, I have traveled to too many villages like barren villages. It is impossible for an outsider to know that the daughter-in-law in the village was bought.”

“We have no clue at all.” He Caijie said with a wry smile: “But later, I finally understood that sometimes it is necessary to treat ignorant people. Use a little feudal superstition. If you talk about science, those people will look at you like a fool, but if you lower your IQ to their level, then everything will be easy.”

Jiang He has already I understand what He Caijie means: “I understand, so you pretend to be a Taoist monk who travels everywhere. Every time you go to a village, you use this method to cover your identity, but in fact, you are looking for yourself. sister, right?”

“That’s right!” He Caijie carried his Qiankun bag on his back at this time, he patted the Qiankun bag, it was bulging, and he didn’t know what was inside.

He Caijie helped Song Xiangmei to sit on the bed, and said, “With such an identity, I will soon be able to know what happened in the village, and I will be able to mingle with those ignorant villagers. I never knew it before, the original A person can be so stupid or so hateful. Every time I go to a village, I will use puppets to pretend to be female ghosts, and lied that I came after the female ghosts, and no villager doubted me.”

“Then things are easy to do. More, once I found out that my sister was not in this village, I would leave and continue to look for the next village, until I came to the deserted village five years ago, and things started from that time. The village is very resistant to the arrival of outsiders , as if this village has some big, unspeakable secret. This is something I have never encountered in five years, and this is the most mysterious mountain village I have ever encountered.”

“Five years of searching My experience has taught me a lot about this kind of village, like this one in the deep mountains and old forests, especially in an isolated village with no other villages around, no woman would be willing to marry this place, and even if there were women in the village, they would definitely leave Here, the only way for the bachelors in the village to get their wives is to buy them from human traffickers, but this village is too exclusive, if I want to get along with these villagers, I need to stay here longer.”

He Caijie shook his head . : “I stayed here for four years, even longer than the time I spent in the rest of the villages combined. Sometimes I don’t even know why I stayed here for so long, maybe it’s because It’s because of my dream.”

“Someone told me that if I stay here, I’ll be able to find some clues. Until a year ago, I found Xiangmei. For four years, I occasionally helped the villagers to see the disease, as a For a medical student, this is a very simple matter, but in fact, most illnesses can be cured by themselves. I used superstitious thinking to tell them that this is a Taoist manifestation, and these people are convinced. ”

“In four years, I have traveled all over the village, I have seen deep pits and white bones, I have seen mass graves in corn fields, I have understood everything around the village, and I have known the secrets of most of the villages, but this The village is poorer and more sinful than the rest of the villages, they have always kept women tightly, and I can’t even see it at a glance.”

Jiang He looked at Song Xiangmei, who was leaning on He Caijie’s shoulder at the moment, showing an obvious expression. Peaceful and gentle.

Jiang He asked, “Then how did you meet her? Since they were locked up tightly, how did you rescue her?”

He Caijie shook his head: “To be precise, it wasn’t me who rescued her, It was I who discovered her. It was one night six months ago. I was investigating the mass graves in the cornfields. I knew that the villagers had official cemeteries, and they would not bury their own people in the mass graves. And they will push the tourists into the deep pit and be eaten by the evil dogs, so the corpses of the tourists will not be buried. The question is, who are the bones in the mass graves?”

” That night I suddenly realized that this mass grave is used to bury the dead women and the baby girls born by those women. For the villagers, women are their most valuable property, just like TV sets, they I don’t want the TV series to break down.”

“But there are still some women who may have died in childbirth or by suicide, and the bodies of these people are thrown here. On that day, Song Xiangmei and He Caiwei escaped. But at that time I I don’t know, if I had another chance, when I heard the change, I would choose to rush over instead of hiding in the cornfield.”

“While I was reading the words on the tombstones, I suddenly heard Arriving in the cornfield, there was a loud noise, as if some beast was about to rush out of the cornfield. I didn’t know what it was, so I hid in the cornfield on the other side. Here, under the cover of the night, I want to see what happened.”

“As soon as I hid, I heard footsteps coming from the mass grave, and then the shouting and scolding of the villagers. I vaguely understood what was going on, probably two women were riding the guards. He escaped unprepared, and the villagers came out to arrest these two women.”

Jiang He said, “These two people are He Caiwei and Song Xiangmei.”

At this time, He Caijie was already in tears, and he said, “Yes, that’s right. My sister and Xiangmei, but I was hiding in the cornfield at the time, it was too dark, and I was squatting again, so I couldn’t see what was going on outside, and I didn’t know that it was my sister who I had been looking for for almost ten years. If I can do it again, I will definitely choose to rush out.”

“The footsteps are getting closer and closer, I think for a long time, I understand that these two girls must have been kidnapped, but if they go out, the villagers will definitely not let go. I hesitated for a long time, but I still didn’t go out, I was just hiding in the cornfield, a complete coward.”

“Crescent Moon is He Caiwei, isn’t it?” Jiang He felt that everything was connected: “So when the villagers call out the woman’s name , you didn’t realize that it was actually your own sister!”

He Caijie endured his sadness and nodded: “Yes, Xinyue is the name that the villagers gave my sister, how do they know the story of Caiwei

?” “What happened later?” Jiang He asked again.

“Still, let Xiangmei tell you.” He Caijie couldn’t continue.
