I started walking along the main road in the village. Whenever I met someone familiar on the road, I would immediately go over and communicate with them.
Without exception, as soon as these people saw me, they seemed to be seeing the god of plague and couldn't wait to get away.
And when I wanted to talk to them, they kept silent, even though some of them may have felt guilty and did not respond to my questions.
They also denied that they had seen any corpses at all, and denied what happened in the back mountain that night.
It was as if the events of that day disappeared from their minds overnight. No one here remembered what happened in the back mountain, and no one remembered the female body dug out of the ground.
Finally, I even found the village chief. Although his behavior was not as extreme as other villagers, he also deliberately avoided me.
"I said, young man, you should go back quickly. We have never heard of this matter, and we don't know what the body is."
"There are only two of us here. Let me give you a piece of advice. Just forget about those things. This is not something we can get involved in."
"Okay, you should leave quickly. It won't be good if you stay here for too long."
The village chief only said a few words to me before starting to see off the guests, but the village chief's words also served as a reminder to me.
The village chief was still thinking about me, and he also felt guilty about the current situation, so he hinted at me.
I immediately realized that there must be a mastermind behind the sudden change in this simple and helpful mountain village.
Then this person is most likely Li Sheng. He should have come to this mountain village and used some method to lure these villagers, or threaten them to shut up.
In this way, as long as no one speaks and everyone selectively loses their memory and denies what happened that night, the evidence can disappear.
Li Sheng's speed was still beyond my expectation. I didn't expect him to know what was going on in the village so quickly and take action.
Since I had no way to get more information from the villagers, naturally I could only leave disappointed.
…
I had just returned to the city when I suddenly received a call from a stranger.
I didn't want to answer it at first, but for some reason, there seemed to be a voice in my heart urging me to answer it quickly.
Finally, I pressed the answer button, and a man's voice immediately came from inside.
The other party spoke to me in a very calm tone, almost commandingly.
"You are Lin Qiao, right?"
"Yes, I am Lin Qiao. Who are you and why do you still call me when you know my name?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, I know you are very anxious now and there are some things that are troubling you."
"If you don't know what to do, come to the Haoting Hotel. I will wait for you in the landscape box here."
"Of course you don't have to come, but in that case, some things that happen in the future may be very regrettable."
The last sentence was full of threats, and the other person didn't tell me his identity.
He didn't tell me what would happen. It was obvious that the other party was very deep in the city and was a master at playing with people's hearts.
In doing so, he maximizes his mystery and makes it impossible for me to predict what he will do.
At this time, I had no choice. Wang Lulu and her daughter were missing, and everyone in the small mountain village had selective amnesia.
There is also Wang Daoxuan, who seems to have compromised with Zhou Bangcheng and obeyed him.
I seemed to suddenly become a loner, with no one to rely on except a few friends around me, and no one could help me.
So I followed the other party's request and went to the Haoting Hotel. The waiter quickly took me to a private room with the brand name Shanshui.
This private room is the top private room in the hotel, and the decoration inside is extremely luxurious and luxurious.
As soon as I entered, I saw a young man wearing a gorgeous white suit sitting in the box.
His face is very handsome and handsome, and his face is as sharp as a knife. Even a man like me has to praise him in my heart when I see him.
At the same time, two men in black suits suddenly appeared behind me. They exuded a dangerous and serious aura and looked like they should be professional bodyguards.
One of them also had a scar on his face, and it was obvious that many stories had happened to him.
In addition, behind the man in the white suit, there were more than a dozen burly bodyguards also wearing suits standing against the wall.
The other party was obviously well prepared and had a very huge power in their hands.
But I still don’t know who this person is and why he came to me.
I had never met him and had no idea who he might be associated with.
At this moment, the man finally spoke. His voice was very magnetic, and he spoke slowly and well-educated. He obviously came from a wealthy family.
He said calmly.
"Hello Lin Qiao, although this is our first meeting, I already know you very well."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Yimu."
When I heard this, I immediately thought of a person who was very surprised and said.
"What is your relationship with Li Jiaxin?"
Li Yimu smiled softly and continued.
"I am Jiaxin's brother. I came here to see you this time just for the sake of you and my sister."
"Okay, you don't need to be so serious or nervous. We are not enemies, and there is nothing between you and me. Just find a seat and sit down."
"Let's have a nice chat."
At this time, I had probably guessed what Li Yimu was looking for me for, but I still felt that he was a little unnecessary.
Because he obviously misunderstood something.
After I sat down, Li Yimu started talking to me in a serious voice.
"Lin Qiao, I already know what happened between you and my sister, and I think you and I both know that Jiaxin likes you."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have left the executive job assigned to her by her family and traveled thousands of miles to this small sea city to live with an ordinary man like you."
"If the information I got is correct, she should be living together with you now, right?"
Upon hearing this, I quickly shook my head and explained.
"That's not the case, Brother Li. You misunderstood. Although Jiaxin does live at my place, nothing happened between us. We are just ordinary friends."
"This shouldn't be considered cohabitation. I think it's at best shared living."
