Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World - Chapter 95

Fu Xiangxiang looked at the rope tied to the call through the dim light in the room, and couldn’t help but want to scold his mother.

This is the kind of nylon strap with a buckle. It looks thin, but it is quite strong, and it can’t be pulled away. Besides the stove and a pile of wheat straw, there is a sharp one in this house. There are no objects. If the stove was a square stove made of bricks, it would be nothing more than an adobe stove, round and without edges, and they wouldn’t be able to break the straps.

No wonder the kidnappers simply tied their hands and feet and threw them here. This is for sure that they can’t escape.

Zhang Yifan was flustered and confused: “Reporter Fu, what are you saying about this? Is Master Li a bad guy? But I just want to learn crafts from him. If he is really unhappy, he won’t be able to drive us away. Why tie us up?”

The change came too suddenly, and Fu Xiangxiang’s thoughts were also a little confused at this moment. She twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while: “From Master Li’s previous attitude, he does not have any need to kidnap us. Then there is only one other person left—”

Zhang Yifan opened his mouth: “Li Zhiqiang? That’s even more strange. We only had a face-to-face meeting with him. He is a wealthy boss, what does he tie us to?”

Zhang Yifan looked up and down Fu Xiangxiang: “Could it be that he is a greedy reporter for your beauty?” His face was bitter at the end of the sentence: “That shouldn’t be tied to me!”

Fu Xiangxiang gave him an angry look: “Shut up! I think you look white and gentle, maybe Li Zhiqiang is coveting your beauty!”

“!” Zhang Yifan’s pupils suddenly quaked, and his eyes turned black for a while.

After successfully letting the talkative NPC fall into autism, Fu Xiangxiang thought for a while, moved his body with difficulty, moved closer to Wang Peng, raised his legs and kicked him gently.

Wang Peng opened his eyes in a daze. After seeing the surrounding scene, his eyes widened suddenly and his clarity was restored instantly.

He flicked his hands a few times, and found that after he was firmly tied up, he didn’t show much panic. He only frowned, and looked at Fu Xiangxiang and Zhang Yifan in a deep voice: “What’s the matter?”

Fu Xiangxiang shrugged: “We also want to know.”

Wang Peng silently glanced in the direction of the door and window, his brows furrowed tighter.

Fu Xiangxiang guessed that he was judging the chance of escape, followed his line of sight and frowned.

Although the door of this firewood room is only a wooden door, it looks quite heavy. There is no lock inside the door. Obviously, the lock is installed outside the door. It is most likely a big iron chain or something, so that people in the room can’t start; Moreover, the door opens outwards. As long as someone blocks the door with a heavy object, the people in the house can’t get out at all.

As for the window, it was even more desperate. It was originally not big. Several thick steel bars were welded to the window frame. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to break the window.

Fu Xiangxiang gasped, “How does this look like an ordinary wood house? This is a small black house for imprisoning people.”

Wang Peng glanced at her and said nothing.

Zhang Yifan also fully reacted: “Difficult… Could this be premeditated? Master Li, he…”

Fu Xiangxiang Wang Peng lifted his chin: “Now I have to ask him.”

Zhang Yifan was completely stunned: “Ask Wang Peng? Why? Does he know something?”

Fu Xiangxiang tilted his head to look at Wang Peng: “How much should you know? Officer Wang?”

“Huh?” Zhang Yifan was completely stunned, his mouth opened into a big “o” shape: “You…are you a policeman?”

Wang Peng looked at Fu Xiangxiang in surprise: “Why do you say that?”

He didn’t admit it but didn’t deny it directly, and the meaning in the words was quite obvious.

Fu Xiangxiang shrugged: “You really don’t seem to be looking for Li Yongnian to apprentice. Obviously you have another purpose.”

“Oh? Really?” Zhang Yifan looked at Wang Peng, then at Fu Xiangxiang, with an unbelievable expression on his face: “How come? Someone actually doesn’t want to worship Master Zhang as a teacher!”

Fu Xiangxiang & Wang Peng: “…”

Not paying much attention to Zhang Yifan’s silly white sweetness, Fu Xiangxiang said directly: “You have no enthusiasm for making shadow puppets, but you show interest in Zhang Yongnian and his son. For this reason, you don’t hesitate to get in under the name of apprenticeship.”

“You said you are from a neighboring province, but you speak with a Ningcheng accent. But we never know you. Why do you have to hide where you are from from others? I can only guess that you want to be in front of Master Li. Downplay my impression of Ningcheng.”

“You have obvious cocoons on the palm of your right hand, on the mouth of your tiger, and on both sides of your index finger, which look like a gun cocoon caused by holding a gun for a long time. You are sharp-eyed and good at observing, and you are obviously examining and investigating something. Although I am not entirely sure. When these doubts are combined, it is reasonable to speculate that you are a policeman.”

Wang Peng raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at Fu Xiangxiang with a hint of approval: “Miss Fu is worthy of being a reporter, very insightful.”

He said solemnly: “I am a police officer from the Ningcheng City Bureau. The purpose of coming to Lijiacun is to investigate Li Yongnian and his son.”

Fu Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up: “What are they investigating? The disappearance case?”

Wang Peng was really taken aback now. Feng Rui looked at Fu Xiangxiang with a deep gaze, with deep inquiries in his eyes: “How do you know?”

Fu Xiangxiang shrugged: “I didn’t know it at first. But if you look at our current situation, this log house is obviously for people’s use. What else can’t be guessed?”

“Yes.” Wang Peng sighed with a wry smile: “I did come for a missing person case.”

“Two weeks ago, the bureau received a case of missing persons. The informant claimed that his brother had been missing for more than two months, and that his brother was a security guard for Li Zhiqiang’s company.”

“Li Zhiqiang company?” Zhang Yifan’s scalp was numb: “It’s related to him?”

Wang Peng sighed: “The missing security guard was a migrant worker, and he was not a regular employee of his company. Temporary resignations were also common. We didn’t suspect Li Zhiqiang in this case. However, we are investigating this case. It was accidentally discovered that the security guard had taken a long-distance bus to Lijia Village before disappearing.”

“The security guard is neither a local, nor has anything to do with Lijiacun. It is weird to come to Lijiacun. This aroused our suspicion, so we started a more in-depth investigation of Li Zhiqiang and his company.”

“The results of the investigation are even more surprising. It turns out that the brother of the informant was not the first person to disappear without cause from their company. A year ago and three years ago, a cleaner and a temporary worker left the company. According to the investigation, the whereabouts of the two people are still unknown.”

“In addition, Li Zhiqiang’s personal experience is also somewhat unusual.”

“Li Zhiqiang’s company was established five years ago. It is not unusual for Li Zhiqiang to reach its current scale in a short period of time. The reason why Li Zhiqiang made his first pot of gold was because he left the company and took away the company. He also provoked a lawsuit for this, but because of his position in the original company, he did not have access to the core technology. The original company couldn’t find evidence, and the lawsuit ended. What’s more surprising is that Every time he encounters commercial competition, his competitors will lose to him due to various accidents. This is also very suspicious.”

“Accident?” Fu Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows.

“Yes.” Wang Peng nodded: “For example, three years ago, Li Zhiqiang participated in the bidding for a project, and before the results were announced, their company’s most powerful competitor suddenly experienced a crisis of data leakage; for example, four years ago, An angel investor wanted to choose one of him and another entrepreneur to inject capital. Not long after, his competitor was injured in a car accident, and that investment naturally fell into Li Zhiqiang’s hands…”

“There are still a few things like this.”

Wang Peng’s brows were tightly twisted into the word “Chuan”, and his voice was irritable: “But Li Zhiqiang’s company seems to have no problem at all on the surface, and we can’t find any conclusive evidence to prove him. This is what the bureau sent me. Come to Lijiacun to understand the situation and see if you can find a breakthrough in the case. I happened to ran into the two of you in the car, so I said by the way that I also wanted to worship Li Yongnian as a teacher and followed in. Who knows—”

He swept around, feeling very helpless: “Who knows that I have really encountered hard stubble.”

Following Wang Peng’s narration, Fu Xiangxiang fell into deep thought.

Not to mention the issue of commercial competition, three employees accidentally disappeared within three years, Li Zhiqiang’s company is indeed suspicious.

However, Li Zhiqiang is the boss of the company, and the missing persons are not all bottom-level employees, so they don’t seem to be in conflict with the boss. If it was Li Zhiqiang who committed the crime, what was his motive?

Also, before the security guard went missing, he took a long-distance bus to Lijiacun. Why did he come here?

Compared with those doubts, the more pressing question is, why on earth are the three of them **** here?

Zhang Yifan has already screamed: “Ah, ah, it’s all because of you! It must be your police identity that was discovered by Li Zhiqiang and tied you up! Reporter Fu and I were both exhausted by you!”

Fu Xiangxiang asked: “Officer Wang, what have you found out?”

Wang Peng: “Not yet. I just came in tonight and I don’t want to start an investigation.”

Having said this, he himself was stunned: “When the Ningcheng police investigated Li Zhiqiang, I never appeared in front of him. It is impossible for him to know my identity…”

Fu Xiangxiang also felt that this was only the first night, and Wang Peng had not much exchanges with Li Yongnian and his son. It stands to reason that his identity should not be revealed so quickly.

“But-if it weren’t for this, why would they tie us here?”

Zhang Yifan was also a little confused: “Are these father and son murderous perverts indiscriminately? Our only mistake is to appear here?”

Fu Xiangxiang carefully recalled the attitude of Li’s father and son yesterday: “It’s not like it. They didn’t look like killing in their eyes until they went to bed.”

“Agree.” Wang Peng relied on the intuition of a criminal policeman to agree with this: “If they wanted to harm us yesterday, I couldn’t be unaware.”

“What the **** is going on?” Zhang Yifan was mad.

Wang Peng said coldly: “Since they have locked us here, they will show up sooner or later. You won’t know when the time comes.”

Zhang Yifan is even more depressed: “No, once the villain turns on the multi-talk mode, the next step is to kill people. I am a passerby who has no identity, and it looks like the one who was the first to be cannon fodder!”

Fu Xiangxiang twitched his mouth: “Xiao Zhang, you are still very accurate in positioning yourself!”

Xiao Zhang was already crying.

Fu Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Zhang’s wronged face, and quickly flashed back in his mind what happened after arriving in the yard last night.

According to the urinary nature of the quest dungeon, Zhang Yifan is obviously the kind of Npc who promotes the plot through death, as can be seen from the fact that he invited himself to visit the wood house last night.

If you came to the backyard with him last night, if you see something you shouldn’t see, it will definitely trigger the kidnapping plot.

So now the question is, I didn’t do anything with Zhang Yifan, why did the kidnapping plot still get triggered?

and many more! Didn’t do anything—?

A picture suddenly froze in her mind, Fu Xiangxiang’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhang Yifan scorchingly.

Zhang Yifan was shocked by her sight: “Fu Ji…Sister, what’s wrong with you?”

Fu Xiangxiang narrowed his eyes slightly: “What did you see last night?”

Zhang Yifan’s forehead sweat almost came off: “No…nothing…”

Fu Xiangxiang reminded him: “Last night you said that those shadow puppets on the wall seemed to have been moved?”

“Yeah, I think two of them seem to have been touched by someone. The dancing girl has a different posture to throw the ribbon. And the scholar, the height of his arm has changed…”

“It’s very weird, right, there is no one else in the whole house. Master Li has been on the recliner. Li Zhiqiang has just returned. It is even more impossible for the three of us to touch…”

Zhang Yifan muttered, his eyes widened suddenly: “Isn’t it… Could it be that the shadow puppets move by themselves?

Fu Xiangxiang blinked and glanced at him encouragingly: “Be confident and get rid of the’is it’!”
