Chapter 152 Flaw
“Okay,” Chen Xiaomeng said with a smile, “Leave your address and I’ll become a member to try it out and see if it’s as good as you said.”
"No problem," Jiang Cheng said very readily, "Tell me your mobile phone number first," he explained confidently: "After all, I belong to The status of the high-end group is different from that of ordinary people. You have to make an appointment in advance."
Chen Xiaomeng shrugged and said regretfully: "Forget it, I hate trouble the most."
The two of them walked and chatted together. There were many people on the street, but because they changed their clothes and styles, no one noticed them.
Walking along the street, turning a few corners, I saw a two-story building.
The location of the building is relatively remote, and the surrounding area is compacted with soil. A wooden board is hung vertically on a pillar next to the gate, with the words "Zhen Zhi Guan" written on it.
“We’re here,” Chen Xiaomeng raised her head and said.
The door was not closed. The two stood outside the door and looked at it for a while, then walked in.
The space inside is relatively large, but the layout is very simple. Several long wooden tables are placed at the entrance, and then there is a place similar to a lending desk.
Surrounded by large wooden shelves that are as tall as a person, there are compartments on the wooden shelves, and books of information are placed in the compartments.
A man who looked like a clerk was sleeping on a dark table, with several thread-bound books scattered around the edge of the table.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward, patted him and said, "Brother, wake up."
The guy was a man in his early 20s. He didn't know what he did last night. His face was confused and his eyes seemed to be unable to open, "You guys."
As soon as the guy opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng with a very stern look. His voice was flat and cold, "Work." Time to sleep, is this your work attitude? ”
The boy's sleepiness disappeared immediately. Jiang Cheng gave him the feeling that a leader came to check the work, especially the two people who looked strange and didn't look like people from the town.
Although the man in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, there was an aura of superiority surrounding him, especially the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
He has seen the big leaders from the county, but none of them are as imposing as the man in front of him.
It was not easy for him to get this job. He had to ask someone to give him a lot of gifts, so he immediately stood up straight with a respectful expression.
"No, what do you need?" The waiter tried carefully, pretending that he didn't recognize the leader who came for a private visit in private. He also had the same good attitude when receiving ordinary people.
"Does Xiaoshijian Village know?" Jiang Cheng sat carelessly in the seat before the clerk, the seat was still warm.
The guy looked stunned for a moment, and then it took him a long time to come back to his senses and nodded slowly: "I know."
"Young man, you have a good eye," Jiang Cheng looked the guy up and down, his eyes Narrowed slightly, "It seems you have guessed our identities."
"You are the leaders of the county who have come to inspect," the clerk said respectfully, but due to the fact that the other party's identity may need to be kept secret, he spoke in a very loud voice. Low.
He licked his lips: "We received the notice some time ago, but we just don't know if you are here so quickly, or if you are here with a smile, or in this form."
Jiang Cheng did not explain. He leaned back comfortably on the chair and raised his neck. "A vicious case happened in Xiaoshijian Village 20 years ago. Is there an archive here?"
"Yes," the clerk immediately transferred He turned around and ran towards the darkness of the room, then moved out a ladder, placed it on a very inconspicuous shelf in the corner, and took down a book from the top.
Then he trotted back, carefully handed the book over, and said breathlessly: "The reports to the leaders are all here, but they may not be very detailed. The detailed information is only available in the bureau."
After seeing this, Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaomeng frowned.
Oops
Jiang Cheng still had a smile on his face. He took the book handed by the clerk with one hand, and with the other hand he quietly reached into his pocket, took out a piece of polished iron and hid it in his palm.
And Chen Xiaomeng flicked her wrist, and something like a hairpin slipped from her palm, and she held it tightly.
She pretended to look around casually, observing her surroundings secretly.
The abduction case in Xiaoshijian Village occurred 20 years ago. It is an old case. To exaggerate, the age of the case is even older than the age of the clerk.
The case information is stored on the top of a very remote shelf, requiring a ladder to get to it, which shows that very few people check it.
But this dull-looking guy actually locked the location of the data from 20 years ago without consulting the table showing the data storage location, and got it accurately.
Jiang Cheng’s first reaction was that he had fallen into a trap. Well, the village chief of Xiaoshijian Village also arranged for his people to keep an eye on this town chronicle.
The enemy is open and we are secret. Since the enemy has not yet broken up, Jiang Cheng is happy to delay it. Chen Xiaomeng is only prepared and does not take action immediately.
Jiang Cheng smiled and slowly opened the information.
What is recorded here is indeed the case from 20 years ago. After briefly browsing the overview, Jiang Cheng flipped back and found that the facts of the case were almost consistent with what they knew.
The names and places of origin of the 29 women who were abducted were recorded at the back, as well as the places and methods of abduction.
Of course, what’s more important is where they will go after that.
As Jiang Cheng flipped through page after page, Chen Xiaomeng stood by his side, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The man stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
When he turned to the last page, Jiang Cheng's fingers stopped.
This page records a woman named Su Ying.
21 years old, he is a college student from a big city, majoring in fine arts.
More importantly, according to the above records, after she was rescued, her appearance was ruined and her throat was unable to make a sound.
Because her family was a prominent local family, after this incident, the pedantic family members felt deeply ashamed and simply refused to accept her home.
Only a sum of money was brought to her, allowing her to make a living on her own.
What happened next was unclear. It was only mentioned that she lived nearby, but her specific address and occupation were not mentioned.
This is probably because the recorder was protecting this poor woman and could not bear her being harmed twice.
After closing the book, Jiang Cheng looked at the man in front of him again.
Although he was young, he disguised himself very well, and even Jiang Cheng didn't see any flaws immediately.
“What do you think I’m doing?” Jiang Cheng stared at the waiter and asked suddenly.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, not sure why the tone of the man in front of him suddenly changed. "It's nothing, it's just." He hesitated and didn't dare to speak, but his eyes glanced at the information from time to time.
"Are you interested in this case?" Jiang Cheng picked up the book and shook it.
"No, no," the clerk waved his hand quickly, "I'm not interested. I'm just curious about why so many people have come to ask about this case recently?" he said in a confused tone.
A light flashed in Chen Xiaomeng's eyes, "Has anyone seen this information recently?"
