It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Xiao Niao looked the man up and down with a suspicious expression.

The porter's hands and feet were tied to the chair and he couldn't move at all, but his expression was extremely calm.

I don't know why, but after staring at her for a long time, the corners of her eyes began to turn red and her eyes became misty.

Ha... I was so tough just now that I could say calmly, "The law will judge me." Why is it that now?

Are you going to cry again?

Xiao Niao frowned and came behind the porter, rechecking the condition of the knot to ensure that the rope was so firm that it could not be broken free.

She hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on the porter's shoulder: "...You've been very cooperative. As I said before, I won't do anything to you."

The other party nodded slightly.

"I called the police before I came in. They'll be here in about ten minutes."

"Don't even think about running away," Xiao Niao tightened his fingers in a warning tone, "Just stay here."

The porter did not answer. She sat quietly in the chair, and at first glance she would have looked as docile as a sheep - if she had not been tied up with ropes.

...This is really the strangest criminal I have ever seen.

His index finger twitched involuntarily. Xiao Niao glanced at the porter's well-defined neck and slowly withdrew his hand.

She took some time to clean up the traces she had left here and put away all the miscellaneous items.

Because I was wearing gloves from the beginning, I didn't have to spend extra time wiping off fingerprints, which saved me a lot of effort.

It was not until Xiao Niao had packed up and was ready to leave that the porter, who had been silent all the time, spoke again.

"...Where are you going?" Those dark eyes were tinged with panic. "Aren't you going to stay and watch over me?"

Xiao Niao said, "The police will be here soon."

She thought to herself, why should I stay? Should I stay and get arrested with you?

I still had a stack of stolen money in my shoulder bag, and it would be difficult to explain if I was caught on the spot.

Are you suddenly feeling scared again?

Xiao Niao looked at the other party's increasingly helpless expression and confirmed his guess in his heart.

But I don't have much to say about this person.

Shrike's sympathy and patience for criminals are always very limited.

“…Goodbye then.”

She said this as a farewell to this strange guy.

The other party did not answer, nor did he suddenly start struggling violently, but just lowered his head deeply.

Xiao Niao continued to walk out, and when she was about to leave, she looked back again as if possessed by a ghost.

The other party still maintained the same posture as before, lowered his head deeply, and stayed there motionless.

How long did it take after that? Three minutes? Five?

A little blood dripped from the 'porter's' wrist, and a streak of silver fell from her wrist, along with the cut rope.

She broke free from the knots that bound her and staggered back to her feet.

After a while, she bent down and picked up the scalpel blade on the ground.

The blade was put into her pocket. She took off the mask that had become wet and breathed rapidly.

The police will be here soon, right?

Thinking of this, she squatted down and moved an inconspicuous wooden board on the ground, revealing the hidden cellar entrance underneath.

The cellar door was not locked and could be opened by simply pulling it.

She took off her hat and coat, then opened the cellar door and threw everything down.

The living creatures below the cellar let out a groaning sound of extreme fear, and it was obvious that the sound came from more than one person.

She obviously heard it, but still closed the cellar door with a blank expression.

While Xiao Niao was interrogating the 'porters' on the ground, the real porters were trapped in the cellar beneath her feet, huddling in fear in the darkness.

"...What a shame," the 'Porter' muttered to himself, "You could have been of some use."

The sound of sirens could be faintly heard outside the abandoned factory. Many people were approaching in this direction. The police would soon find this place.

She knew she had to leave quickly.

It doesn't matter if the traces are not erased. She used to pay attention to these details, but she soon realized that it was actually meaningless.

She will not leave any trace of herself in this world in any form.

Bloodstains, fingerprints, handwritten notes, and even the impressions left in other people's minds - everything will disappear quickly, as if the whole world is resisting her existence.

But, she actually doesn't care that much.

She walked out of the house clutching the wet mask and wiped her eyes indifferently. The place where she was pricked by the anesthetic needle was still uncomfortable and painful.

It hurts.

He placed his hands on his shoulder blades and wrinkled the small piece of fabric.

It really hurts. This can’t be a dream, right?

"what……"

She had to exert great effort to suppress the intense excitement in her brain. Her chest was heaving violently, and the large amount of adrenaline and dopamine secreted made it almost impossible for her to control the trembling of her hands.

"So that's how it is," she murmured to herself, "No wonder I'm in Taoyuan at this time..."

"So that's it."

She whimpered, burying her face in her hands.

"……finally found you."

"teacher."

Chapter 47 Officer Lando: I don’t agree!

[…It’s Chen Xiaoya.]

"What?" Xiao Niao was stunned for a moment, unable to react to what the system said.

【I mean, Chen Xiaoya is following you now,】

Tong sighed, "This kid just sneaked out of the hotel."

Xiao Niao subconsciously looked back and saw an empty street behind her. It was still early in the morning and there was hardly anyone on the road.

She glanced around briefly: "Don't you see anyone?"

"Look at the sign on the left," the system prompted. "Chen Xiaoya is hiding behind it."

Xiao Niao looked in the direction Tongzi said and found that two pieces of jeans legs were abruptly exposed under a standing light sign that read "Beer, Stir-fry, and BBQ".

Looking more closely, the shoes on his feet also looked familiar.

Xiao Niao's face immediately turned dark.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly took a few steps forward, stopped after turning a corner, and waited there with a sullen expression.

A few seconds later, Chen Xiaoya came running over in a hurry and was caught red-handed by Xiaoniao.

This kid is quite aware of anti-reconnaissance. When he comes to a corner, he knows to stop and take a look at the situation first, and use the reflection of the road signs to observe whether there is anyone on the opposite side.

But before she could see clearly, a bird suddenly appeared and grabbed Destiny by the scruff of the neck.

This is actually cheating - to the system, Chen Xiaoya, who is full of luck, is like an LED headlight with a built-in flashing effect. It is hard not to notice it.

Xiao Niao brought the kid in front of him.

"Why did you run out?"

She looked at the boy expressionlessly, with no emotion visible on her face, which was a bit scary anyway.

Chen Xiaoya's pursuit, which had not yet begun, suffered setbacks one after another within a few days. He was now doubting his life, lowering his head and refusing to speak like a saw-mouthed gourd.

"...Go back to the hotel," Xiao Niao touched the child's smooth neck, "I will definitely come back tonight."

She had been delayed by various things (such as the kidnapping) and had spent two consecutive nights out.

Chen Xiaoya is only a teenager and is in a completely unfamiliar place, so it is normal for him to feel scared.

Xiao Niao said to her soothingly, "I promise you, okay? I will definitely come back tonight."

"……don't want."

Chen Xiaoya, who had been quietly lowering his head, suddenly raised his voice.

"I don't want to," she repeated stubbornly, "I want to go with you."

Xiao Niao looked at the little boy in front of him with a headache, unable to understand what this child was so stubborn about.

At this point, three days had passed since she interrogated the 'porter'.

When there was insufficient intelligence before, Xiao Niao could only use a very clumsy method to explore within the Taoyuan area.

The numbers Lu Zhiqing gave her helped a lot.

After visiting countless places and inquiring with countless suspected candidates, she finally locked onto an abandoned factory where the other party was transporting the "goods".

Everyone knows what happened next. Xiao Niao kidnapped and interrogated the "porter", got the seller's phone number... and took the black mobile phone with him before leaving.

This is a very important breakthrough.

After getting the number and mobile phone, Xiao Niao quickly found a way to contact the real seller, and then specifically asked to buy a batch of goods. The quantity was not small and the deadline was set very tight.

Human traffickers are usually very vigilant and have accumulated a lot of experience in human smuggling during their long criminal careers.

Some of the experienced sellers can even spot the disguised police officers through the most inconspicuous details.

They asked for a partial deposit first, and all the money in cash - Xiao Niao paid it very readily with the stolen money.

After two such brief encounters, these people concluded that the bird was probably not a cop.

If they are not cops, then they are valuable customers.

They therefore relaxed their vigilance and prepared to go to the place where the abducted people were hiding to replenish the limited "supply" they had.

What these people didn't know was that from the moment they received the first call, their whereabouts were no longer a secret.

"...Little boy, don't mess around."

Xiao Niao squatted down, turned Chen Xiaoya's shoulders, and looked straight into the child's eyes.

Xiao Niao said: "This is a very dangerous thing. You don't need to get involved. Just leave it to the police and adults."

Chen Xiaoya just repeated: "I want to go with you."

She was not tall enough, and Xiao Niao had to have one of his knees touch the ground before they could look at each other at the same level.

My vision became blurry without me noticing.

Chen Xiaoya felt flustered because she couldn't see the other person's expression. She stretched out her hand to touch the person in front of her, but her wrist was grabbed instead.

The pulse spread powerfully in the palm of my hand.

"You're already very brave," Xiao Niao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb, "I will bring Zheng Qiong back, I won't lie to you."

But Chen Xiaoya just shook his head.

Her mind was completely taken over by some incomprehensible panic.

Through the fragmentary phone conversations he heard over the past few days, Chen Xiaoya pieced together the fact that Xiao Niao was about to get into danger.

She vaguely realized that this man was going to come into contact with the most dangerous desperadoes.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. Xiao Niao might die because of himself.

Because I...ran away from home...

In the final analysis, the bird has nothing to do with this matter.

It is necessary to run to Taoyuan.

This person followed her out to protect her.

Now, this person is putting herself in life-or-death danger in order to fulfill her selfish and willful wishes.
