The woman suddenly stopped where she was. She stood there for two or three seconds, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Shen Qiao's arm. "How do you know all this? You know where she is, right?"

The noise here made the entire marching team come to a complete stop. The three people in the front scratched the back of their heads as if they had a headache, and Shen Qiao caught an extremely impatient exhalation.

"Say it!" The woman seemed to be completely crazy, and her grip on Shen Qiao's arm became tighter and tighter.

She wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly she felt her wrist being grabbed with such force that it almost broke it.

"If you have something to say, don't do anything."

This voice brought the woman back to her senses. She looked at the gloomy face, loosened her hands, and then let go of Shen Qiao, "I'm sorry... I was too excited..."

"I can help you figure out where she is." Shen Qiao rubbed his arm and looked at her.

"Really?!" The woman was easily aroused once again.

"Her daughter is disabled and crazy. Even if she was kidnapped, she would have died long ago."

The leader, who was the least talkative among the four, suddenly spoke.

The man's voice didn't sound loud, and although he was a little thin, he was definitely not weak.

"You're talking nonsense! My daughter won't die!" the woman retorted angrily.

"Oh, you whimsical woman. You know how to protect the child now? Why didn't you stop your husband when he sent the child away?"

The leader sneered, every word filled with sarcasm. "I think you're worried because you know you can't have children. What? Are you worried that no one will take care of you in your old age, so you think of not caring about whether it's crazy or stupid?"

The woman's sore spot was touched, and a flash of grievance and hatred flashed across her eyes.

Shen Qiao could see that she wanted to refute, but her hands were clenched until they turned white, and finally she loosened them.

"Haha..." She sneered and glared at the man leading the group. "How much better do you think you are than me when you say that to me?"

The leading man didn't stop, but responded to her, "I don't care anyway."

After this sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Shen Qiao also asked what he wanted to ask, so he was not in a hurry to speak again.

These people took the two people around, turning left and right, and walked through the streets and alleys for at least two incense sticks of time.

When the sun was about to rise, the group finally walked into a small alley. The leader knocked on the door and opened the bolt.

"This is it."

As he spoke, he walked in first. The remaining three left the woman and another person outside to guard the door, and one stood behind Shen Qiao and Wang You.

Shen Qiao looked at the obvious trap set for them but did not refuse. He just followed them into the house with confidence.

Just as he reached the middle of the yard, the gate behind him was suddenly closed by the two people guarding outside.

At the same time, five or six tall and strong men with weapons came out of the house and surrounded the two men.

"I told you, the whole town knows about this, and you still don't know how to run." The man who was in the lead took off his mask and revealed a face full of scars.

It was as if his face was branded, and one of his eyes was blind.

"Are these the two 'top guys' that Zhang Yi mentioned?" An older voice came from inside the room, seemingly a man in his sixties or seventies.

In fact, there is no need to guess. After this question, an old man wearing a thick cloak came out, supported by two women.

He looked at the two of them wantonly, and touched his chin with satisfaction, "It's really good."

"Are you the mayor?" Shen Qiao asked.

"Hmm? You're quite calm." The old man jokingly said, his head tilted back, full of pride. "How about this, if you two behave, I might consider mercifully letting you stay and letting you suffer less."

"Oh, that's him." Shen Qiao nodded and looked at Wang You, "Then should I take action?"

Wang You didn't say anything, just glanced at her and said, "Dirty."

The old man knew the words were directed at him, so he angrily said, "How dare you talk like that! Believe it or not... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the old man suddenly widened his eyes, bent down and vomited a mouthful of black water.

The women who were supporting him on both sides wanted to help him when they saw this, but when they saw the pile of vomit, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and turn their heads away.

"What have you done! Ugh!" He pointed at Shen Qiao and didn't let him finish his sentence. The black water kept coming out.

Shen Qiao shrugged innocently.

This really wasn't her doing.

The others were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events and didn't react for a moment, until the disfigured man spoke first and ordered, "Catch them first!!"

The men holding iron tools reacted immediately, and they approached aggressively to grab the two men.

But soon, the one closest to him also began to kneel down, holding his stomach. Soon after, everyone in the yard began to hold their stomachs and vomit. Of course, the one who vomited the most was the mayor who couldn't even straighten his back.

"The more evil you do, the more black muddy water you will spit out. If you don't spit it all out, you will never be released into reincarnation." Chi Musheng in the sea of ​​consciousness appeared at the right time to explain.

"But I can't take their lives. But I can't say for sure about that old man. He has done too many evil things. If he is put in the underworld, he will vomit for a hundred years at most."

Although Shen Qiao would be happy to see this bastard die, he seemed to know a lot about what was happening in the mountains, so...

She looked at Wang You, who obviously knew what she meant, so after a few seconds, the old man stopped.

"Ouch..." After this wailing cry, he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath and rummaging through his pockets for something to wipe his mouth.

"Don't rush to wipe it. If you can't answer well later, you will have to continue vomiting." Shen Qiao said with a smile.

"Tell me, what exactly happened on the mountain? Why did you start sending women and children there?"

The mayor hadn't recovered his breath yet, and after hearing this, he didn't forget to glare at the disfigured man.

"Our patience is limited. Or are you not going to cooperate?" Shen Qiao urged calmly.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you..." The old man rubbed his waist which was almost broken from vomiting and sighed.

"About half a year ago, we started hearing strange noises at night in our town."

"At first, no one took it seriously. After all, it was night time. Some things that were inconvenient to do during the day... weren't they supposed to be done at night?"

This is the first time I've heard "tolerance of crime" used in such a euphemistic way.

Shen Qiao continued to listen patiently, "And then?"

"We originally didn't intend to intervene, but then the town started to be haunted. People said they could see shadows in the windows every night. Tell me, can I just ignore something like this?"
