Chapter 1621 If it’s any later, the daylily will get cold!
Zhima Hutong is not far from Nanluoguxiang, where there are also many courtyard houses.
We arrived at the destination in just a few minutes by motorcycle.
When Li Xiangnan found Zhao Xiaobing's house, he saw that the doors and windows were closed. He knocked for a long time before an old lady poked her head out.
"Who are you looking for?" The old lady's eyes flickered.
"I'm a teacher at school. I came to see if Xiaobing's illness has recovered." Li Xiangnan lied.
The old lady suddenly became nervous: "Okay, okay, go to school tomorrow!"
Saying that, he was about to close the door.
Li Xiangnan blocked the door and said, "Auntie, I just want to take a look at the child so I can explain it when I get back."
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a suppressed cry suddenly came from the room.
The old lady's face changed drastically and she slammed the door shut, refusing to open it no matter how hard Li Xiangnan knocked.
It's the 1980s now, and ordinary people have great respect for intellectuals like school teachers!
But in Zhao Xiaobing's home, he, the "teacher", was not welcomed and was not even greeted with the proper etiquette of being invited in and seated!
Not to mention, I came here on the pretext of visiting my children.
Is this the result?
It was obvious that the old lady was Zhao Xiaobing's grandmother. Her attitude was too abnormal!
This is so strange.
Li Xiangnan waited at the entrance of the alley for a while. When he saw a vendor selling popsicles, he went up to buy one and took the opportunity to talk to him: "Master, I have a question. Has anything happened to Old Zhao's child, Xiaobing, recently?"
The vendor looked around and lowered his voice, "Don't tell anyone. The child was taken away by 'Fourth Master's' men, saying they were going to 'work,' but they were actually begging on the streets. Mr. and Mrs. Zhao disagreed, so they beat the child's mother and she was hospitalized."
"Fourth Master?" Li Xiangnan's heart tightened. "Is he a skinny old man in a Zhongshan suit?"
The vendor was shocked: "How do you know? Don't say it was me who told you!"
After he said that, he glanced at Li Xiangnan and hurriedly pushed the cart away.
The Fourth Master again?
All clues point to that mysterious old man.
How cruel and ruthless is this person!
In order to force a child to make money for himself, he actually attacked ordinary people! He even beat the soldier's mother so badly that she was hospitalized?
How unreasonable!
Li Xiangnan realized that he had to act quickly, otherwise who knows how many more children and families would suffer.
After eating the popsicle, he wandered around for a while and observed Zhao Xiaobing's house for a long time, but the door was never opened again.
Li Xiangnan found Guo Qian overnight and told him the situation.
He became anxious upon hearing this, frowning for a long time, feeling very embarrassed: "There is no evidence. What we have seen is not enough to arrest them. Those people are too cunning. They will run away as soon as the police go."
At this moment, Song Zimo suddenly rushed into the office: "Brother Nan, you are really here! I just came from your house...Oh no! Something happened to the brother and sister!"
"Which brother or sister?" Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat and he stood up immediately.
"It's the one you mentioned. The brother is about ten years old, and the sister is five or six." Song Zimo was panting, with sweat on his face. "I just saw them being stuffed into that 130 truck and heading out of the city!"
Li Xiangnan stood up suddenly: "When did it happen?"
"Just now! Less than an hour!" Song Zimo said, "The car went south, as if it was heading towards Fengtai!"
"Going south?" Li Xiangnan took out a cigarette and lit it, his brows furrowed. "Could it be that the hideout in Mianhua Hutong is just a transit point? Not the final base camp?"
He was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Guo Qian, who was standing by, was also worried about their caution.
If we rashly go to Mianhua Hutong to arrest someone tonight, we will definitely alert the enemy!
Captured the brother and sister and took them to the south?
Could it be that they were destroying the body?
Doing things that are inconvenient to do in the city?
"No time to lose! We have to stop them!"
Li Xiangnan waved his hand without saying anything and shouted, "Zimo, drive!"
Guo Qian also hurriedly followed: "I'll go call someone!"
The night was dark, and the roar of a Shanghai car broke the silence.
Song Zimo gripped the steering wheel, his face tense and solemn, with sweat on his forehead.
He had done so many things with Li Xiangnan, but what happened tonight was the most thrilling.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Xiangnan's heart was beating wildly. He knew that he had to catch up with those people before they moved away.
Once it’s too late, something bad will happen!
The fate of those children rests in his hands.
The lights of the cars pierced the dark night like a sharp sword.
Guo Qian sat in the back row, holding the armrest tightly with one hand and holding the pistol at his waist with the other hand, his face solemn.
"Hurry up!" Guo Qian shouted, "We'll be in trouble once we get out of the city!"
Song Zimo stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car rushed through the empty streets like an angry beast.
The night wind hurt his face, but his heart hurt even more - the frightened eyes of the brother and sister kept flashing before his eyes.
Before they came, they met with Xia Haiyang again. He said that during this period, he had communicated with those elderly beggars, and they always mentioned a brick kiln intentionally or unintentionally!
It was built during the Great Leap Forward in the 1950s, but later became abandoned and no one usually goes there.
"Turn left ahead!" Guo Qian pointed to a dirt road, "We can take a shortcut there!"
The car suddenly turned onto a bumpy dirt road and shook violently.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid dog barking was heard in the distance.
"Stop!" Guo Qian suddenly shouted.
Song Zimo slammed on the brakes.
The three of them held their breath and listened quietly. Besides the sound of the wind and the barking of dogs, there seemed to be faint crying sounds.
"We're here!" Guo Qian's intuition told him that this was the place they were looking for.
After saying this, he took out the intercom from the car and whispered, "Old Wei, when you come here, turn right into the intersection, walk twenty meters and stop! Don't come in!"
"Roger that!"
"The radio is silent!" Guo Qian shouted and turned off the intercom system directly!
"Over there!" Li Xiangnan pointed to a forest not far away.
"It seems we're still too late. We're not familiar with the road conditions! It's unlikely we'll be intercepted! We can only take it one step at a time!"
After Guo Qian finished speaking, he grabbed Li Xiangnan and Song Zimo by the shoulders and gently warned them, "One of you has martial arts experience, and the other has been on the battlefield. You are experienced in fighting enemies, but I still want to remind you to be careful! These are a group of desperate criminals!"
Li Xiangnan and Song Zimo looked at each other and nodded silently.
The three of them got out of the car and walked over quietly. The scene before them made them gasp.
I saw the 130 truck parked in the clearing in the woods with its compartment open.
A dozen children were tied together with ropes and were being forced onto a bus.
The skinny old man stood beside the car, holding a ledger in his hand and counting the number of people.
"One, two, three... all ready." The old man closed the account book. "Hurry up and get on the bus. We have to be in Baoding before daybreak."
Li Xiangnan's heart sank.
Baoding? They want to transfer the children to another place!
Did they discover something?
Do you know that the Yanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau is investigating them?
So smart?
Or is this group of children going to make some kind of transaction?
Li Xiangnan's heart suddenly sank, and he silently looked back at the way he came.
Wei Jingfei and other companions from the first team haven’t arrived yet!
The children were being arranged to get on the bus. There were at least eight or nine burly men, all of them strong and sturdy. It would be impossible for the three of them to rescue the children and capture people at the same time!
As time passed, Li Xiangnan became more and more anxious!
Old Wei, hurry up!
If it’s any later, the daylily will get cold!
