    "Okay." Cheng Zaimin didn't ask why it was a Taoist priest who helped find the child, he just raised his head and took a deep look at Xie Jin. This young man helped him so many times unconditionally, so his friend himself would believe unconditionally.

    "That day I went to install the air conditioner for the customer as usual, because it is not good to bring children to the door, so Xin Xin sat on my electric tricycle, and it took less than half an hour. I found that Xin Xin was missing."

    Wen Liang nodded, there was no wave in his eyes, and he didn't accuse the man in front of him of his negligence, "Where did you install the air conditioner at that time?"

    "In Xiangheli near Hibiscus Street, this Xie Jin asked me, and he also told me that the little daughter who sold tofu on Hibiscus Street was also missing."

    Cheng Zaimin pinched his eyebrows, he seemed a little out of strength, he took a few steps back and leaned against the peeling wall behind him.

    Xie Jin patted the man's shoulder to express his comfort. He knew that he had no position to criticize. Besides, the child's disappearance had become a fact. The only thing he could do now was to ask about the situation and find the missing Cheng Xin and Zhang Xingying as soon as possible.

    "Brother Cheng, think about it carefully. After you found out that Xin Xin was missing, did you find something... how should I put it, something unusual?"

    Probably Xie Jin's expression was too cryptic. Cheng Zaimin couldn't understand what he was talking about for a while. The man shook his head slowly: "What does unusual mean? I don't quite understand."

    "For example, have you found any strange people, or smelled a pungent smell that you can't usually smell?" Wen Liang gave a few directions for thinking, "If you think about it carefully, the details are very important for finding a child. "

    Cheng Zaimin stopped talking, and his brows gradually frowned, as if he was trying to think about some things that he ignored on the day when the incident happened. At that time, he was only focused on looking for his son, and those details that were covered up by anxiety...

    "Speaking of the smell, it seems to be real." After a while, Cheng Zaimin's face suddenly changed, and he remembered the faint stench that wafted through his nose when he ran on Hibiscus Street after finding nothing.

    After he told this detail, the faces of the two people in front of him became more and more strange. Cheng Zaimin wanted to ask the reason, but Xie Jin, a friend dressed as a Taoist priest, skipped the topic and avoided it.

    "Could you tell me your son Cheng Xin's birth date? I'll see if he's safe first." Wen Liang spoke sincerely, and since he didn't look like those charlatans who shook their heads, Cheng Zaimin just hesitated After a while, he reported Cheng Xin's information to him.

    Wen Liang just closed his eyes at the corner of the stairs and used the fastest divination. After the end, he looked at Cheng Zaimin, who was full of distrust and worry: "It's dark, your son should be in a very dark place, but we must hurry up." To find a way to save him, we need to find him as soon as possible.”

    "A very dark place? Where could it be?" Cheng Zaimin opened his mouth. Although he doubted the authenticity of Wen Liang's words, he still couldn't help worrying.

    "Darkroom, box, anywhere is possible." Wen Liang didn't explain too much, he took out his business card from his arms and handed it to Cheng Zaimin, "Trust us for once, we will help you find the child, and when the time comes, call Xie Jinhe I also can."

    Cheng Zaimin nodded, and he listened to Wen Liang again, "Then you take care of your mother, and leave your son to us, and we will do our best to bring him back."

    Obsessed with the promise, Cheng Zaimin watched the three of them leave. It was already dusk when the afterglow was about to set, and the golden sunlight slanted on the corridor. In a daze, Cheng Zaimin vaguely saw that there was another person beside Wen Liang and Xie Jin.

    Is it vertigo? He rubbed his eyes, looked up again, and the figure disappeared again.

    "Cheng Xin's situation is not optimistic."

    Wen Liang blurted out after walking out of the hospital. He threw the long braid hanging from his shoulders behind his back, exposing his sweaty neck, "Let's hurry up, we will act tonight."

    "What's wrong with Cheng Xin? Why are you going to act tonight?" Xie Jin didn't expect Wen Liang to be so anxious, which means that Cheng Yu's condition is not very good.

    "The situation is not good, the prisoner may be going to attack Cheng Xin." Wen Liang wiped off his thin sweat, and the scene he saw just now appeared in his mind, "I saw Cheng Xin staying in a windowless space with blood on her body .”

    "Blood?!" Xie Jin almost cried out, "How did you see blood? Is it Cheng Xin's?"

    Ji Duan grabbed Xie Jin, who was emotional for a while, and called him softly: "Uncle Xie, calm down, Wen Liang is also for the good of that uncle."

    "That man is already like that. He has seniors and juniors. If I tell him the truth about this matter, what will happen to him?"

    Wen Liang sighed, and he pointed to Xie Jin, "I know you sympathize with what happened to him, but his spirit has become so tense now, and I can no longer be the last straw that crushes him."

    "My divination has always been accurate, but the facts that have not happened in the future can be changed. This is the only thing we can do now."

    Although Wen Liang's voice was not loud, every word seemed to stir up ripples on the surface of calm water, so much so that Xie Jin fell into silence for a while.

    Red blood... It may not be a long time later, maybe an hour later, or maybe a few minutes later, Cheng Xin will encounter evil hands and make the future a reality.

    Thinking of Cheng Zaimin who was taking care of his mother in the hospital, Xie Jin gritted his teeth, and a voice that didn't resemble his own burst out between his teeth: "You can do what you say, what is it?"

    "It's very simple." Wen Liang's gray-blue eyes reflected Xie Jin's firm and trembling face, "If that guy doesn't show up on his own initiative, we can only find a way to lure him out of the cave, but besides the three of us, we still need someone's help .”

    "Who?" Ji Duan frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.

    Wen Liang suddenly showed a harmless smile, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts: "That's right, that's what you think, we need the help of Boss Zhang's son."

    "Why do you need Zhang Chi?" Xie Jin's tense face froze for a moment, he stared blankly at Wen Liang's smiling face, not knowing what he wanted to do.

    "You think, what is the murderer's target? Is it a young child? I know that Zhang Chi is already half a teenager, so he is not so attractive to that guy."

    Wen Liang snapped his fingers, and the appearance of Tongtong Yuyu appeared vaguely beside him, "Visually, it can be handed over to Tongtong Yuyu. They still look like five or six-year-old children, but they don't have the breath of life on them. The murderer is Not going to take the bait."

    "You mean, let the three of them form a team as a bait? Tong Tong Yuyu pretends to be a child, borrowing Zhang Chi's innate energy?" Ji Duan frowned, and followed Wen Liang's train of thought, "Would this happen?"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

    "You should have heard that if you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. If you want to find the children, you must have the awareness of self-sacrifice." Wen Liang recalled Tongtong Yuyu, who was dissatisfied and clamoring in the sun, and explained.

    "Tongtong Yuyu can be attached to Zhang Chi's body, and temporarily change Zhang Chi's appearance through blindfolding. The method you said is too risky to be seen through. It's not like I haven't thought about it."

    "Isn't your risk high? Is it really okay to have a ghost possessing a living person?" Ji Duan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Liang, confirming again and again that he was serious.

    "Okay, after all, there is his sister among the victims, let's talk to Zhang Chi."

    "That's right, sister Zhang Chi is one of the missing children, and my knowledge of Tong Tong Yuyu will minimize the risk factor to a certain extent. I think this method should be feasible."

    Wen Liang rubbed his chin, "The problem now is how to convince Boss Zhang to agree with his son to take this risk. I don't think any parents would agree?"

    It is not difficult to say that Zhang Chi is not difficult. This half-grown boy wants to save his sister and make up for his father's mistakes. I am afraid that even if it is desperate, he will rush up without hesitation, but Zhang Boss who lost his daughter will let his son take the risk of uncertainty. And danger to save his own daughter?

    The three of them returned to Zhang Chi's house again. Boss Zhang seemed to have gone out and was not there. When Zhang Chi heard that there was a way to save his sister, he dubiously took them to his secret base.

    "I'm going." After hearing the whole plan, Zhang Chi yelled resolutely, as if a flame was burning in his eyes, "I'm not afraid of anything, what if I don't go to my sister!"

    Wen Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, he saw it well, this half-grown boy was really straightforward. "Aren't you afraid?"

    Bending down, Wen Liang gently scratched Zhang Chi's nose with his left index finger, "Let my little ghost attach to you? Aren't you afraid of bad luck for the rest of your life?" As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and made a hanged ghost The grimace, I'm afraid it won't scare the half-grown boy.

    But Zhang Chi was not intimidated by Wen Liang, he raised his hand and touched the bottom of his nose, the hotness in his eyes seemed to be a flame that would never go out: "What's so terrible about that, in my opinion, there is no old man who cries at night Dad is 'scary', and my mother who is in a trance all day is not as 'scary'."

    The young man spat on the ground disdainfully, "Bah, I don't care who he is, I won't let anyone in my family become like this, so don't worry too much, if I can be useful, I will I listen to you!"

    Wen Liang pursed his lips, as if he was frightened by Zhang Chi's bold words. After a few seconds, he suddenly burst into laughter: "You kid, have you read too many middle school novels? Not as much as you think Seriously, I won't sacrifice you in exchange for your sister."

    Seeing that Zhang Chi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xie Jin hurriedly dragged Wen Liang to stop him.

    Kneeling down, Xie Jin looked at the young man looking straight at him: "Zhang Chi, do you really want to help us save your sister?"

    Zhang Chi's face was still flushed, and he bulged his cheeks into balls, looking naive and funny, but he still nodded without hesitation.

    "Okay, let's get back to business." Wen Liang rubbed his chin and wiped away a few traces of his smile, "It's good that you are determined, but how are you going to meet us without telling your father?"

    and also! tonight……
