Chapter 1211: Flaw
"Okay," Chen Xiaomeng said with a smile, "Just leave your address and I'll try it out as a member to see if it's as good as you said.
"No problem," Jiang Cheng said cheerfully, "Tell me your mobile phone number first," he explained confidently: "After all, I belong to the high-end group, and my status is different from ordinary people. You have to make an appointment in advance."
Chen Xiaomeng shrugged and said with regret, "Forget it, I hate trouble the most."
The two of them walked and chatted all the way. There were many people on the street, but because the two changed their clothes and styles, no one noticed them.
Walking along the street, turning a few corners, I saw a two-story building.
The location of the building is relatively remote, and the surrounding area is compacted with earth. A wooden board is hung vertically on a pillar next to the gate, with the words "Zhenzhiguan" written on it.
"We're here," Chen Xiaomeng raised her head and said.
The door was not closed, and after the two stood outside and looked at it for a while, they walked in.
The space inside is relatively large, but the layout is very simple. Several long wooden tables are placed at the entrance, and then there is a place similar to a lending desk.
Surrounded by large wooden shelves that are as tall as a person, there are compartments on the wooden shelves, and books of information are placed in the compartments.
A man who looked like a clerk was sleeping on a dark table, with several thread-bound books scattered around the edge of the table.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward, patted him and said, "Brother, wake up."
The guy was a man in his early 20s. He didn't know what he did last night. He looked confused and couldn't open his eyes. "You guys"
As soon as the clerk opened his mouth, Jiang Cheng interrupted him with a very stern look. His voice was flat and cold, "Sleeping during working hours, is this your work attitude?"
The boy's sleepiness disappeared immediately. Jiang Cheng gave him the feeling that the leader came to check the work, especially the two people who looked strange and didn't look like people from the town.
Although the man in front of him was dressed in an ordinary way, there was an aura of superiority surrounding him, especially the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
He had seen big leaders from the county, but none of them were as imposing as the man in front of him.
It was not easy for him to get this job. He had to ask someone to give him a lot of gifts, so he immediately stood up straight with a respectful expression.
"No, what do you need?" The waiter tried carefully, pretending that he didn't recognize the leader who came for a private visit incognito. He also had the same good attitude when receiving ordinary people.
"Does Xiaoshijian Village know?" Jiang Cheng sat carelessly in the seat before the clerk, the seat was still warm.
The guy looked stunned for a moment, and then it took him a long time to come back to his senses and nodded slowly: "I know."
"Young man, you are very discerning," Jiang Cheng looked the guy up and down, his eyes slightly narrowed, "It seems you have guessed our identities."
"You are the leaders of the county who have come to inspect," the clerk said respectfully, but because the other party's identity may need to be kept confidential, he spoke in a very low voice.
He licked his lips: "We were notified some time ago, but we just didn't know if you were here so quickly or in this form," the man said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng didn't explain. He leaned back comfortably on his chair and raised his neck. "A vicious case happened in Xiaoshijian Village 20 years ago. Is there any archive here?"
"Yes," the man immediately turned around and ran towards the darkness of the room, then moved out a ladder, placed it on a very inconspicuous shelf in the corner, and took down a book from the top.
Then he ran back, carefully handed the book over, and said breathlessly: "The reports to the leaders are all here, but they may not be very detailed. Only the bureau has detailed information."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaomeng frowned.
Too bad
Jiang Cheng still had a smile on his face. He took the book handed by the clerk with one hand, and quietly reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out a piece of polished iron and hid it in his palm.
Chen Xiaomeng flicked her wrist, and something like a hairpin slipped from her palm, and she held it tightly.
She pretended to look around casually, observing her surroundings secretly.
The abduction case in Xiaoshijian Village occurred 20 years ago. It is an old case. To exaggerate, the age of the case is even older than the age of the clerk.
The case information was stored on the top of a very remote shelf, requiring a ladder to get to it, which also shows that very few people looked at it.
But this dull-looking guy actually locked the location of the data from 20 years ago without consulting the table showing the data storage location, and got it accurately.
Jiang Cheng's first reaction was that he had fallen into a trap, and the village chief of Xiaoshijian Village had arranged for his people to keep an eye on the town chronicle.
The enemy is overt and we are covert. Since they have not yet broken up, Jiang Cheng is happy to delay. Chen Xiaomeng is only prepared and does not take action immediately.
Jiang Cheng smiled and slowly opened the information.
What was recorded here was indeed the case 20 years ago. After a brief glance at the overview, Jiang Cheng flipped back and found that the facts of the case were almost consistent with what they knew.
The names and place of origin of the 29 women who were abducted were recorded at the back, as well as the place and method of abduction.
Of course, what's more important is where they go after that.
As Jiang Cheng flipped through the pages, Chen Xiaomeng stood by his side, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The man stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
When he turned to the last page, Jiang Cheng's fingers stopped.
This page records a woman named Su Ying.
21 years old, he is a college student from a big city, majoring in fine arts.
More importantly, according to the above records, after she was rescued, her appearance was ruined and her voice was unable to speak.
Because her family was a prominent family in the local area, after this incident, the pedantic family felt ashamed and simply refused to accept her home.
They only asked someone to bring her a sum of money and let her make a living on her own.
And the following things were vague, only mentioning that she lived nearby, without mentioning the specific address and occupation.
This should also be the recorder's protection for this poor woman, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer a second injury.
After closing the book, Jiang Cheng looked at the guy in front of him again.
Although he was young, he disguised himself very well, and even Jiang Cheng didn't see any flaws at the first time.
"What are you looking at me for?" Jiang Cheng stared at the guy and asked suddenly.
The guy was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the tone of the man in front of him changed instantly, "Nothing, it's just" He hesitated and didn't dare to speak, but his eyes glanced at the information from time to time.
"Are you interested in this case?" Jiang Cheng picked up the book and shook it.
"No, no," the guy waved his hand quickly, "I'm not interested, I'm just curious why so many people have come to ask about this case recently?" He asked in a puzzled tone.
Chen Xiaomeng's eyes flashed, "Has anyone else looked at this information recently?"
