Chapter 279 Mysterious Old Man(1/2)
Bronze Village.
Located in the urban-rural fringe of suburbs.
The environment is harsh.
The staff is a mixed bag.
It was still early when Qin Yao drove over.
Just the beginning of a busy day.
"I've sent the photo to your phone, let's go separate ways!" The road was too narrow and was surrounded by crowds of people going to work. The car couldn't get in, so Qin Yao had no choice but to abandon the car and walk.
As for how to find Lin Chili, Qin Yao used a relatively stupid method, which is also the most effective at the moment.
It is true that the last place Lin Chili disappeared was in Bronze Village.
But the time span is too long.
A full week's time.
It’s another time to find someone in such an environment.
One can imagine the difficulty in this.
Qin Yao tried his best.
At the same time, there was no hope.
Just making a last ditch effort.
"Hello, sister, do you have any impressions of the girl on the phone? One clue costs one thousand yuan, and if we can find the person, I will reward you with an additional ten thousand yuan!" Qin Yao came to a vegetable stall on the roadside and started directly.
Offer a high reward.
"Really? Young man, are you sure you're not joking?" The vegetable seller's eyes lit up.
Provide clues and there will be a reward of one thousand yuan.
Finding the girl on the phone will give you an additional reward of 10,000 yuan.
The eldest sister might not be able to earn so much by selling vegetables in a month, so she immediately became interested.
The eldest sister took Qin Yao's cell phone and looked at it from side to side.
In the end, I could only shake my head with regret, as I really didn't see Duolin Chili.
The urban-rural fringe environment has always been responsible.
There are so many people coming and going every day.
Of course, no one would pay special attention to a girl.
Besides, the time span is so long.
Although the eldest sister wanted to make a quick buck, she had never met Lin Chili, so she just missed the quick buck.
"Everyone is spreading the word and taking a look. If anyone knows the details, please tell me as much as possible. I don't think this young man is a bad person!" The scene that happened here attracted many people to watch.
Cell phones were passed among the masses one by one.
The result was naturally unsatisfactory.
Many people shook their heads with regret and made it clear that they had never met Lin Chili, so naturally they couldn't make such quick money.
The situation is the same with Xu Zhengyang.
Most people watch the fun.
But I have never seen Lin Chili.
Although Qin Yao had been mentally prepared for it, he was still a little disappointed and became increasingly anxious.
No effective clues were found at the entrance of the village. Qin Yao thanked him and decided to go into the village. He was ready to ask everyone. Although there was little hope, there was nothing he could do.
"Young man, is the reward you mentioned true? You didn't fool the old man, did you?" Qin Yao greeted Xu Zhengyang and was about to go deeper. As soon as he turned around, he was suddenly blocked by a dirty old man.
The old man is very sloppy.
The clothes are not covering the body, and large areas of skin are exposed to the air.
He was leaning on a shiny crutch.
The smell on his body is even more indescribable.
He looks like a refugee, or rather a refugee.
When the old man said this, he looked around from time to time, his face was full of vigilance, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of something.
"Of course!" Qin Yao nodded.
He always felt that the old man was weird.
But what was so strange about it, Qin Yao couldn't tell for a while.
After all, someone was willing to provide clues, and Qin Yao's sinking heart suddenly became filled with hope.
"Young man, come with me, I'll take you somewhere!" The old man took a deep look at Qin Yao, thought for a long time, and finally made such a decision, then turned and left.
Qin Yao raised his eyebrows and winked at Xu Zhengyang, and the two of them chased after him.
With Qin Yao's strength.
Plus Xu Zhengyang.
It's easy to deal with a hundred and eighty gangsters.
Therefore, Qin Yao is not worried about the old man ambushing him.
He even hoped that an ambush would be the best option.
Because there is an ambush, it proves that the people behind the scenes are still paying attention to this place.
When the time comes for him to take action again, he will naturally get closer and closer to the person behind the scenes.
Let’s talk less.
An old man in ragged clothes led the way.
Walking along a long field path, it didn't take long before we arrived at a secluded farmyard.
The farmhouse is in a remote location.
And it is surrounded by large areas of farmland.
It is far away from the prosperity.
If there is no one who knows the way to lead you.
It is still difficult for ordinary people to find this place.
Completely off the beaten track.
Except for the occasional chirping of birds, there is no smell of human life.
"Be prepared, you may see blood later!" Qin Yao warned Xu Zhengyang emphatically, with a solemn expression and a bad premonition.
Although Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything, his body was tense and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Young man, here we are!" The old man stopped and looked at the courtyard not far away. His meaning was self-evident.
"Are you sure the person is here?" Qin Yao frowned, feeling more and more that things were unusual.
Qin Yao couldn't guess the identity of this old man.
I don't know what role he played in this matter.
Is it a coincidence?
Or has it been arranged in advance?
If it is the latter, one can imagine the danger involved.
"The person left two days ago. This is the place where the girl was once imprisoned. Old man, I didn't say that the person was inside. It was you who misunderstood!" The old man was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and turned over.
He rolled his eyes and was quite speechless about this.
He is just a wanderer in this village.
Without a place to live, they had no choice but to end up in the wilderness.
A few days ago, the old man did see someone bringing a girl over.
That girl is also the person on Qin Yao's cell phone.
It happened that Qin Yao was looking for Lin Chili, and he also offered a high reward. The old man became interested in making money, and that's how he came up with the idea.
After hearing this, Qin Yao not only did not relax his vigilance, but became more cautious.
Is the reality really as shown by the old man?
I'm afraid not entirely.
Although the old man in front of him looked like a beggar, Qin Yao actually did not feel any shabbyness in him. Whether it was his temperament or the state of his speech, all proved that this old man was not simple.
