Chapter 22 Nightingale

Wang Lin didn't know how much time had passed. Her eyes were blindfolded and her hands were tied behind her back.The man would feed her food and water regularly, and the wound on her head had also been treated. Although it still hurt a little, the bleeding had stopped for a long time.

The uneven ground and harsh stones under her body let Wang Lin know that she might be in a cave.She tried to shout for help, but all she could hear was her own echo.

Although her feet are free, Wang Lin dare not leave by herself.One was because he was afraid that the person would find her running away and chasing her. If she was caught then she might not be treated so well—even though she was tied up, she would at least have food and drink.

Secondly, she didn't know where she was in the mountain, and she couldn't get out of this deep mountain and old forest by herself with injuries on her body.

The person who caught her also warned her that it was dangerous outside and told her not to run around.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far to near, Wang Lin, who was grinding the rope on the stone wall, immediately sat down and turned her head to the direction of the sound.

"Nannan, go play by yourself for a while, brother go see that aunt." The voice was very young, and the voice was unexpectedly gentle and pleasant.Wang Lin has already been shocked, but every time she hears it, she still has a strong sense of disobedience—as if the other party is having a warm family outing, while she is playing an escape room, and finally learns to escape.

——As for the title, Wang Lin, who just graduated from university, said that after listening to it, she got used to it.

The sound of footsteps approached, and one hand gently lifted the gauze on her head.

"Are you feeling better today? I only have these medicines. If my head is still dizzy, I can only rest more."

Wang Lin couldn't see the man's face, but only heard the voice and felt that the man was a very gentle person - she could also tell from the subtle care he took for her sister.

But, what kind of situation would make a young man live in the mountains with his young sister?And he obviously saved himself, but he wanted to cover his eyes and tie his hands.In addition, from time to time, she would say something that she couldn't understand.

Like now.

"I don't know if there is a doctor among your friends. It would be best if you have a doctor and medicine yourself, otherwise you can only rely on your body's healing power."

Wang Lin didn't understand, it's fine to go to the hospital for injuries, why do you need to treat yourself?

She didn't dare to ask, because so far, although the man hadn't shown any intention of hurting her, he killed his friend after all.And now it can be regarded as imprisoning himself.

"I'm much better now, you, when will you let me go?" Wang Lin licked her slightly dry lips, and asked cautiously—although there was food and drink, this person seemed to be very stingy, and he only gave me food every time. She is a little bit, so Wang Lin often feels thirsty and hungry.

In the dark world, Wang Lin heard the man get up and leave, and came back soon, putting a bottle mouth by her mouth.

"Drink some water."

Wang Lin said thank you gratefully, and drank water from the man's hand, before taking a few sips, the water bottle was taken back.A young man's regretful voice sounded next to his ear, "Drink so much."

It really is stingy.

"Will you really let me go?" Wang Lin asked again after drinking the water, her throat feeling much better.

"Don't worry, I will send you away when your injury is better. However, after you leave, I hope you will not reveal this place." The man asked gently, and automatically explained, "Nannan is young, I I don't want her to be intimidated, as long as she grows up safely."

Wang Lin was a little speechless, she had already covered her eyes to prevent this, how could she reveal it.Besides, could it be that this is the Peach Blossom Spring, and she strayed into it, so it's not enough for outsiders to understand?

Wang Lin shook her head, intending to tell the other party that she didn't see anything, but she didn't want to use too much force, and her head suddenly became dizzy.

"I, I won't say it, I just want to go home."

"Going home? Do you call that kind of place 'home'?" The young man's tone didn't know whether it was ridicule or disappointment.Perhaps thinking of something bad, his mood fell down, he stopped talking to Wang Lin, got up and walked away.

Wang Lin was baffled, not knowing what she said wrong.

Her eyes were blindfolded so she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't hear any sound. This kind of extreme tranquility made Wang Lin very insecure, and made her very panicky.

So even though this person kidnapped her, Wang Lin still hoped that she would be with him and not leave her alone in this cave.

Besides the two of them, there was another person in the cave who was the younger man's sister.It's just that the child seemed to be dumb, and Wang Lin didn't hear her speak.

Although the child cannot speak, she has a very patient elder brother who can coax her, accompany her, and tell her stories.

Now, the young man ignored himself, went to his sister, and whispered to her.

"Nannan, my brother can't go out with you these days, so let's just stay here, okay? My brother will read you fairy tales, what would Nannan want to hear?"

Wang Lin heard the sound of paper flipping, probably opened a book of fairy tales.

"Does Nannan want to hear this story? Well, brother, I'll read it to you now."

In the following time, Wang Lin was forced to listen to fairy tales over and over again—yes, the man only read one story, and the name of the story was "Nightingale".

I don't know if the little girl likes to listen to it, or this person only has this book of fairy tales at hand. After reading it over and over again, Wang Lin can almost memorize it.

"...it sings of the quiet churchyard--where the white roses grew, and the elder-trees smelt sweet, and the new grass was stained with widow's tears.

"The Grim Reaper now misses his garden fondly, so he turns into a cold white mist and disappears at the window..."

Before falling asleep in a daze, Wang Lin sighed in her heart:

This little brother's voice is really gentle and hypnotizing.

-

Shi Ke led a team to search the mountain, and it was not in vain at the end of the day—they found two more corpses, and the fatal wounds were all in the ears.According to the degree of decay of the corpse, the time of death is roughly estimated, and the earliest one has been dead for at least two or three years.

The corpses were arranged neatly, as if they had been arranged deliberately.The backpack that should have been carried with him was gone, but valuables such as watches and rings were there.Although the corpse was not buried, it was covered by thick fallen leaves. If it weren't for dogs and detection equipment, it would not be possible to find it even if you approached.

Then these bones will be integrated with this forest and will never be known.

Seeing the three corpses being taken out, packaged and carried away, the solemn expression on Shi Ke's face never went down.He raised his eyes to look at the vast forest, surrounded by tall trees, which seemed to be full of greenery - but in this vibrant forest, he did not know how many bones were still buried.

Shi Ke thought of Zhuang Sheng who was left at the police station by him. He felt that at this time, expert analysis was needed—in fact, he wanted to find another person more, but he understood from the last case that the reason why that person The promise to help was entirely for Zhuang Sheng's sake.Or, he just wanted to keep him by his side to watch by taking the opportunity of helping to solve the case.

Well, like a worried old father who sees his son doing dangerous work.

Shi Ke thought so in his heart.

The boss can't afford to hire him anymore, but the little doctor studying abroad can still be relied on.

After dialing Zhuang Sheng's phone number, Shi Ke told him all of his discoveries.At the end, he said emotionally on the phone: "Xiao Zhuang, I kind of believe what you said now. The murderer has some kind of doomsday fantasy. Not only does he have fantasy, he really wants to occupy the forest as king. I dare not Imagine, if you can search the entire forest, how many corpses can be found."

Zhuang Sheng: "..."

So did you never believe what he said?

"Send me the coordinates where the corpse was found." Zhuang Sheng didn't care about Shi Ke's distrust before, and made a request after listening to his statement.

Although Shi Ke didn't understand what Zhuang Sheng was going to do, but this time he didn't ask too much, and directly sent the coordinates.

Finding a person in such a large forest is like waving a needle in the sea, and Shi Ke has no better way.It's not like in a civilized society, everything a person does can be traced.In this ocean of forests, even if you find the best field survival expert, you may not be able to find that person.

So before hanging up the phone, Shi Ke said something emotionally to Zhuang Sheng.

"Xiao Zhuang, I can rely entirely on you."

Zhuang Sheng: "..."

When I didn't trust him, I ignored his words, but now I have no choice but to rely on him——Zhuang Sheng didn't expect that Vice Captain Shi was really flexible.
