Chapter 65 The Secret Exposed

Officer Xu narrowed his eyes and handed over the cup of water.

"Please tell me the situation carefully."

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, Li Yongqiang told Su Chen that he had spent two thousand yuan to consult a fortune teller.

After hearing this, Officer Xu finally understood.

He sighed and said, when people are at their wits' end, they will believe everything and anyone's words.

Those who go under the name of fortune-telling are actually just making money by scamming people. Their police station can catch more than a dozen of them from under overpasses every year, not counting those who run away.

Officer Xu patted Li Yongqiang on the shoulder.

"Old Li, I understand your desire to find your daughter, but how can you believe in such superstition?"

"Officer Xu, I'm not superstitious. Believe me, this master is really accurate in his calculations. Send someone to Longmen Village to investigate again, okay?"

Li Yongqiang looked at Officer Xu pleadingly.

"Then let me see the master you are talking about."

"Okay, I'll let him tell you."

Li Yongqiang reconnected with Su Chen via video.

See the young Su Chen on the screen.

Officer Xu frowned and said, "Young man, why don't you do anything else? How can you cheat people? Return the money to the person immediately. I won't pursue the matter this time. We should believe in science, and feudal superstition is unacceptable."

[Hahaha~ I laughed so hard that I fainted. Your colleague just posted a message online to thank our Master Su.]

[It’s really funny, family members, who understands! ]

[Anchor: Didn’t I just get praised? How come I became a liar? ]

[Uncle policeman believes the anchor, his calculation is correct, Xiao Cui is still waiting for you to rescue her. ]

"Officer Xu, when you were investigating, was there a man living alone who behaved abnormally?" Su Chen.

He did not explain, but said something under the serious gaze of the police officers.

Officer Xu was also confused. What did this mean?
"how do you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know this. Xiao Cui is in the cellar under his kitchen."

After saying that, Su Chen disconnected the connection. This was not suitable for live broadcast.

But the netizens in the live broadcast room were all concerned.

[Will it be dangerous for uncle and his friends to go to that village? ]

[Why did the anchor go offline? I still want to see the follow-up. ]

[It’s right to hang up. Live broadcast will only affect the police’s rescue efforts. Moreover, it’s not a good idea to broadcast this matter live. After all, it’s someone’s privacy.]

[I don’t even dare to think about what Xiao Cui has been through in the past three years… I hope she is safe.]

Su Chen changed his sitting position and poured another cup of tea. "As long as they do as I say, nothing will go wrong."

Longmen Village.

A van stopped not far away.

Officer Xu and Xiao Lin both changed into plain clothes. Officer Xu looked at Li Yongqiang and said, "Stay in the car and don't move. If someone knocks on the door, don't make any noise. They can't see inside."

"But I..."

Li Yongqiang couldn't stay there any longer. He wanted to rush out of the car and find his daughter right now.

Officer Xu certainly knew that Li Yongqiang was extremely anxious, but countless case experiences told him that the victims' relatives would often become emotionally agitated, which would lead to rescue failures.

Moreover, Li Yongqiang's home is not far from here. If he happens to meet someone he knows, it would alert the enemy.

His face deliberately darkened, "If you really want your daughter to be safe, just stay here."

Li Yongqiang was a little stunned when he saw the police officer, who seemed to be very easy to talk to, suddenly change his attitude. Although he was very anxious inside, he still nodded in agreement.

Officer Xu first took a thorough inspection of Wang's house.

Then, he asked the gentle-looking Kobayashi to knock on the door, while the other two policemen hid in the dark.

Xiao Lin knocked for a long time before he heard some movement inside. He then heard Wang shouting from inside the house: "Who is it?" "Hello, we are from the census team." Xiao Lin.

The person who appeared before him was a bearded man, about thirty years old.

"I am the only one in my family who does not need to be included in the census."

"Can we go in and talk? And tell us about the people's livelihood situation." Kobayashi said with a smile.

"It's not very convenient. I've already told you that I'm the only one at home. You guys can go away." Wang said with a dark face.

"Are you sure you are the only one in your home?" Officer Xu, who was standing behind him, walked forward.

"Yes, the neighbors all know about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Wang said as he prepared to close the door.

"Are you sure there is no girl named Li Cui in your family?" Xiao Lin stretched out his hand to block the door.

Hearing this, Wang's eyes darkened and he said, "What are you talking about? I'm a bachelor and I don't know any Li Cui."

Officer Xu keenly caught this change, and with a wave of his hand, two people nearby immediately rushed up and held Wang down.

"What are you doing? Aren't you public officials?" Wang said with his neck stiff.

Officer Xu didn't waste any more time talking to him and went straight to the kitchen.

Wang was supposed to be alone, but he prepared a lot of noodles and eggs in the kitchen, as well as a lot of vegetables. Could he eat so much by himself? There was no need to store so much food, unless there was a possibility that he had imprisoned Li Cui.

“Why is there so much food in the kitchen?”

"My family is poor and I just love eating instant noodles. Why do you care about this?" Wang's attitude was very arrogant.

"Behave yourself." The two men who held Wang shouted coldly.

Officer Xu and Xiao Lin searched the small kitchen but found nothing.

"Captain Xu, there are no problems. Do you think the anchor may have made a mistake in his calculation?"

"Look again carefully." Officer Xu looked again and found a large kimchi jar in the corner.

"Xiao Lin, move this jar away."

"What are you doing! Don't touch my jar." Wang was very emotional, as if his secret was about to be exposed.

"Stay still, or I'll give you a new one if it breaks," Officer Xu said sternly.

Looking at the ground where the jar was moved, there appeared a square iron plate with a small handle on it.

"Captain, come quickly." Xiao Lin shouted to Officer Xu excitedly.

Officer Xu said to Wang, "Yes, this camouflage is well done."

Xiao Lin shouted to the two people who were holding Wang down: "Come on, Haozi, Xiaopang, I must show you my strength."

The two men walked forward, holding Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, in one hand.

Officer Xu frowned: "Don't show off, Xiao Cui is still waiting for us downstairs."

"Okay, let's save Xiao Cui first." Xiao Lin muttered with some emotion.

One of the policemen walked up to the iron plate and pulled it gently. A one-meter-wide hole appeared in front of them, but there was no movement inside.

He turned and looked at Officer Xu with some concern, "Captain, why didn't you come out? Could you have been killed by that beast?"

"No, don't worry, the noodles and vegetables in the kitchen are all fresh." Officer Xu said easily.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look." After Officer Xu said this, he walked down the stairs.

Xiao Lin then followed him down, while the other two stayed upstairs to guard Wang.

(follow-up)
Xiao Cui was sent to the hospital, but she was afraid to meet strangers and liked to curl up in bed with her head in her hands. When her mother saw her daughter was found, she regained consciousness.

Wang was sentenced to death by firing squad for illegal imprisonment, rape and other crimes!
After treatment, Xiao Cui's mental condition has basically returned to normal and she can communicate normally with her family. However, her personality has become very introverted and she is unwilling to go out.

Although this incident caused a big stir, the news media protected Xiao Cui's personal information very well, and no one on the Internet knew the actual situation.

Xiao Cui's family later moved to another city and started a new life.

ps: I don't like writing about women being victimized. Nowadays, film and television directors don't film the cruelty of the perpetrators, but always film the scenes of women being abused. I personally feel very disgusted. Even in novels, I don't want to show the victims' situation live to the audience because it's impolite.
