After noticing Cao Ding's abnormality, Yi Jie did not wait for the results of the inquiry at the Public Security Bureau. Instead, she greeted the police on duty and went straight to Cao Ding's home address recorded in the employee file.

Heike Village is located around the county seat.

Three or four old men and women were sitting under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, chatting animatedly.

Yi Jie walked over and greeted politely: "Grandpa, grandma, I want to ask how to get to Uncle Cao Ding's house. My dad is his colleague. He came to my house as a guest and left something behind. I'll just deliver it to him when I'm free."

"Oh, little girl, you can't go to Cao Ding's house. His wife is crazy and has bitten someone before! The door of the house is usually locked. Your father is so careless that he lets a cute little girl like you do such a dangerous thing. Doesn't he know about this?" A thin lady with prominent cheekbones kindly advised Yi Jie.

"That's right, that's right, little girl, ask your father to bring it to Cao Ding when he goes to work." The kind-looking old man responded.

"Grandpa and grandma, you just said that Aunt Cao was crazy. What's going on?" Yi Jie naturally moved a small stool and sat next to them.

"That's it..."

……

These uncles and aunts have nothing to do every day, so they like to get together and gossip about other people. They are especially eager to talk to a polite and pretty girl like Yi Jie. Their grandchildren don't like to listen to these things.

After a long while, with the help of her uncle and aunt, Yi Jie figured out everything and successfully found out the location of Cao Ding's home.

Cao Ding was not originally from Wen County. He moved here with his parents from He County when he was ten years old and settled in Pingjia Village. His parents died of gas poisoning when he was twelve years old, leaving him as the only child.

The village cadres felt sorry for him because he was so young and helpless, so they asked the villagers to raise money for his education. Cao Ding was not a smart person, and his parents died early, so he was very introverted. He couldn't continue his studies after graduating from junior high school, and ran away to work without informing the villagers. Everyone thought he was heartless.

It was not until the year before last that he returned to Pingjia Village with his young and beautiful wife. Cao Ding seemed to have suffered a lot, looked very old, and probably didn't make much money. Everyone wondered why Jin Xier liked him, but Cao Ding became more capable than before, and his introverted personality remained the same. His wife Jin Xier rarely showed up in the village. Once she came out of the house alone and bit everyone she saw. Since then, she was locked up at home by Cao Ding and was not allowed to go out. This is where the title of crazy woman came from.

Cao Ding had a rough life, and now he was lame, his wife was crazy, and they had no children. The villagers sympathized with his situation, so they would think of him as a share of the subsidy policy, but he was very honest and always refused it, saying that he had been loved by the villagers since he was a child, and he dared not covet more, and he had to support his family and pay for his wife's medical treatment.

After listening to the villagers' words, Yi Jie found an excuse to leave. Thinking that Cao Ding had been gone for more than ten years, his appearance had changed a lot from youth to middle age, who knew if this Cao Ding was the same Cao Ding.

With doubts, Yi Jie took a long way to avoid people and entered the village. The villagers said that Cao Ding's house was southeast of the village entrance, close to a small earthen slope. They were afraid that Jin Xier would run out and cause harm to others, so they built a high wall around his house last year.

They hid all the way and walked around to Cao Ding's house. This place was far away from the nearest houses, and if someone died, no one outside would hear the sound.

There was a heavy iron lock on the gate, and Yi Jie couldn't pry it open. It seemed that she could only think of a way to get out from the two-person-high wall. She walked around Cao Ding's house, but there was no tree around that could be used for climbing.

"Host, I have a set of discarded rock climbing equipment here, which contains the Flying Tiger Claw. I need to deduct 5000 energy points."

"Eat, eat, this is just the right time to take the blame. Go ahead and knock!"

He took out the Flying Tiger Claw from the system backpack. It was heavy, and the claw glowed silver, looking very sturdy.

"Host, if you hold down the red button on the handle while swinging the rope, you can hit the target every time."

I didn't expect that the obsolete products in the future will be much better than the excellent products now, such as the Flying Tiger Claw which comes with built-in GPS tracking function!

Yi Jie stood a little further away and threw the Flying Tiger Claw towards the top of the wall with all her strength. The claw flew out in a parabola and firmly grasped the edge of the wall.

Become!

Yi Jie grabbed the rope and climbed up. She had no experience in rock climbing and could only rely on brute force. It took her several minutes to reach the top.

"Hiss" Yi Jie cried out in pain, blood oozing from her hands. Her vision was blocked from below, and when she climbed up she discovered that the top of the wall was inlaid with dense glass fragments.

"If I don't put you in jail, I'll be sorry for the injury I suffered today!" Yi Jie gritted her teeth.

I jumped off the wall on the part with less glass. Fortunately, my shoes had thick soles so my feet were not pierced.

He tore two pieces of his shirt off his body and bandaged his hands before he had time to look around the inner courtyard of Cao Ding's house.

It was a very ordinary self-built house by a farmer. There was a small vegetable plot in front of the house, where some common vegetables were planted. There was a chicken coop not far away, and a path in the middle led to the house.

Apart from the clucking of a few hens scrambling for food, no sound could be heard in the entire house.

The security door of the house was closed, the windows everywhere were shut, there were iron railings on the outside, and the curtains were drawn tightly, so nothing could be seen.

Looking up, farmers always leave an open area on the roof of their self-built houses to dry vegetables and grains. Sure enough, Cao Ding's house also has one.

This is easy. The worst that can happen is that she can climb again. Yi Jie doesn't believe that there is no staircase going down to the roof of his house. If there is really no other way, Yi Jie glanced at the tall chimney. She can only jump down from the chimney.

She used the Flying Tiger Claw again. The friction between the rope and her hands was strong, and her already bruised hands felt even more painful. Yi Jie grimaced the whole time, cursing Cao Ding's ancestors in her heart.

As soon as I reached the top of the building, I saw a completely locked iron door. It was really... so infuriating!

With a sad face, she walked to the chimney and climbed up to the chimney again with the Flying Tiger Claw. Yi Jie didn't even feel like cursing. She felt terrified when she looked down at the dark chimney. If she accidentally fell from this small two-story building, she would be paralyzed from the waist down.

No matter! We have come this far, if we give up, all our efforts will be wasted.

Yi Jie took out the Tiger Claw and hammer, used them to clamp the gaps between the chimney tiles, pinned her feet against the chimney wall, and climbed down step by step in a big letter shape. She used great force with each strike to ensure that she could firmly stick to the chimney wall.

The stuffy environment made Yi Jie, who had been working very hard, sweat profusely. She didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of falling down accidentally.

After more than twenty minutes, Yi Jie finally crawled out from the stove. There was not a clean spot on her body. She was even dirtier than the beggars on the street.

She couldn't care less about all these at the moment. The questioning from Cao Ding Police Station shouldn't last long.

After walking around the house, they found Jin Xier chained up in the utility room. She was like the other women at Shengyang Brick Factory, with not a single piece of good flesh on her body, but no scars on her face.

As Yi Jie stepped into the room, Jin Xier's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Seeing that it was a girl she didn't recognize, she was surprised.

"Who are you?" Jin Xier's tone was full of vigilance, and there was no sign of madness on her face.

"Are you not crazy?" Yi Jie had not expected this situation. Is Jin Xier also a victim?

She immediately explained, "I'm here to find evidence of Cao Ding's crime. I can save you!"

"I have never been crazy. It's all because of him! He is a devil! He is not Cao Ding at all!" Jin Xier was so excited that she swung the chains loudly.

"Don't get excited, tell me everything, I will rescue you! We have rescued many people. Do you know Shengyang Brick Factory? It has been shut down by the police!" Yi Jie controlled Jin Xier.

"I have been trapped for two years. Can I really escape?" Jin Xier looked at Yi Jie with tears in her eyes.

"Well, believe me. Since I can find this place, I am sure I can save you, but you have to tell me everything."

Yi Jie's eyes were shining with the belief that she would win, which made Jin Xier inexplicably develop an immense sense of trust in her.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything." Jin Xier closed her eyes and began to speak.

Jin Xier is an orphan. After graduating from junior high school, she went to work in Guangdong Province, where she met Cao Ding. They knew each other since they were young and got along well. They accompanied each other in the big city and later got married naturally.

Cao Ding was highly valued by the boss in the factory because he was honest and obedient. His position was promoted step by step, and everything was comfortable and happy for more than a year.

Until one day, Cao Ding accompanied his boss to a social event and did not come back for one night. The next day, he dragged his seriously injured leg into the house. Jin Xier was so scared that she wanted to take him to the hospital for treatment, but he refused. He told Jin Xier that he had seen his boss dealing with gangsters and was being chased. He had finally escaped, but was exposed when he went to the hospital. Jin Xier was at a loss after hearing this.

Cao Ding told Jin Xier that he could only go back to his hometown to avoid the disaster and never go to Guang Province again. He asked Jin Xier if she was willing to go with him. If not, they would divorce. He didn't want to drag down the person he loved. If Jin Xier went back with him, he swore to treat her well for the rest of his life and that Jin Xier was always more important than his own life.

Jin Xier was moved by Cao Ding's affectionate confession, and as she had already fallen in love with him, she naturally agreed.

During the days of packing his luggage and equipment, Cao Ding looked much older and his voice became hoarse. Jin Xier thought he was exhausted and accompanied him more attentively.

In this way, the two of them returned to their hometown in Wen County and lived a hard life without any complaints from Jin Xier.

But Cao Ding changed. He became more and more irritable and controlling. Jin Xier couldn't even leave the house. Sometimes when Jin Xier didn't do what he wanted, he would beat her up. Afterwards, he would cry and apologize, saying that he was a useless person and felt bad.

Jin Xier could only swallow her tears and hope that everything would return to the way it was before.

If Jin Xier hadn't gotten up to go to the bathroom that night, she might have been kept in the dark forever.

Jin Xier heard Cao Ding say to the other end of the phone: "Jin Xier, this little bitch has become suspicious of me. If she continues like this, she will find out that I am not Cao Ding sooner or later. How long should I hide here? When will I be assigned a job? Although Jin Xier is annoying, she has a nice face. When the time comes, I will add her to my cargo. I have long wanted to torture her to my heart's content."

In panic, she stepped on the gravel on the ground, making a noise. The fake Cao Ding discovered her, and her nightmare began from then on.

Jin Xier was fed a drug by the fake Cao Ding that could cause a person to become mentally ill for a short period of time, and then she was placed at the entrance of the village to attack the villagers, making everyone think she was a lunatic and imprisoning her with justification.

After being imprisoned, she no longer knew what was happening in the outside world. She could only learn about what the fake Cao Ding did from the arrogant words he said when he was beating and humiliating her because he was too proud of himself.

Shengyang Brick Factory, imprisoned and beat women, Jin Xier knew who his accomplices were.

"I don't know how he makes money, but I know that he brought home a lot of cash once, so he must have made a lot of money. And when I was awake, I heard him talking on the phone all the time, saying he was talking about Jinfeng Bank. Oh, he has a black notebook, which should be locked in his room. You can go look for it!"

"Okay, I'll go find him right away. He will never escape legal punishment!" Yi Jie gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Jin Xier's eyes.

"Crench!"

Oh no, “Cao Ding” is back!

"Hurry, hide in that broken cupboard in the corner!" Jin Xier urged, "He has a gun. If you are discovered, you are done for!"

Yi Jie quickly ran to hide in the closet. There was a small hole in the door through which she could see everything outside. She took out her cell phone and recorded a video facing the hole.

In order to protect her, Jin Xier cursed at "Cao Ding" who came into the room to divert his attention.

"Cao Ding", who was already in a bad mood due to being interrogated by a group of policemen for several hours, became even more furious.

He picked up the barbed whip in the room and beat and scolded Jin Xier: "Bitch, you are born bastards! You are born disobedient and you have to be beaten to be sensible! The base I prepared with great difficulty was taken down by the police! Everything has to start all over again, and I don't know when the boss will assign me the next task! It's all because of you bitches who are disobedient. Can't you just listen to me? Why are you resisting?"

The blow was too heavy-handed and Jin Xier vomited blood.

Yi Jie witnessed all this, biting her fingers tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to rush out and cut the beast into pieces, but she couldn't! Not to mention that the chances of winning were slim, she couldn't expose herself before getting solid evidence. If she alerted the snake and let the beast run away, all her efforts would be wasted, and Jin Xier would have been beaten for nothing. Calm down, Yi Jie, you have to calm down.

"Kill me! You killed me!" Jin Xier roared at "Cao Ding".

"Cao Ding" squatted down and pinched Jin Xier's chin, and said faintly: "Want to die? No way, my dear wife, I still have to rely on you to make money. When you are really killed by me, you can be of great use. Don't worry now, I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Pfft!" Jin Xier spat a mouthful of blood foam at him.

"Cao Ding" glared at Jin Xier and slapped her in the face. Just as he was about to continue beating her, his cell phone rang.

"Okay, I'll go over right now!"

"Cao Ding" stood up and kicked Jin Xier hard. Jin Xier vomited a large mouthful of blood again. Yi Jie's heart ached.

"Bitch, you're lucky you didn't accept my toast. I have something to deal with today, so I'll deal with you tomorrow!"

"Cao Ding" opened the door and left. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yi Jie rushed out of the closet and helped up Jin Xier, who was breathing weakly.

"Are you okay? I...I'll go get you some medicine!"

Jin Xier forced a smile at Yi Jie: "No... no need, time is running out, go find evidence quickly, if you can put these beasts in jail, the beating I received today will be worth it."

Yi Jie wiped away her tears and leaned Jin Xier against the wall. "I'll go find her right away. You must wait for me to come back and save you! Definitely! They will be punished and will never have a good death!"

Jin Xier wanted to raise her hand to touch Yi Jie's face, but she was caught by the iron chain halfway and had to put it down. Seeing this, Yi Jie put her face close to her hand, and Jin Xier touched her delicate face with emotion.

"Sister, I leave everything to you. I hope one day I can see the sun outside again."

"I will definitely make you wait until this day. I will go find evidence now. You should have a good rest first."

Before leaving, Yi Jie glanced at Jin Xier's smiling face, then quickly ran to "Cao Ding's" bedroom and started searching.

After searching everywhere, she couldn't find the black book. Yi Jie thought of the secret room in the brick factory and started knocking on it. Finally, she knocked on a brick under the bed and heard a different sound. This brick was empty!

After peeling off the tiles, a wooden box was quietly placed inside. Yi Jie was overjoyed. She opened the box and found the black notebook inside, along with a bunch of receipts and two phone cards for a PHS.

I took a quick look at the content and tears welled up in my eyes. That’s great! These scumbags, every one of them, should be dealt with!
