Chapter 166: Phone Call
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Unfortunately, they came at the wrong time. The room was silent.
Ji Jing looked around. The first floor of the iron house was as simple as the houses of all the forest rangers.
However, there was only one window in the room, and the Metasequoia outside blocked some of the light, so the room was abnormally dark.
An ordinary sofa, bed, dining table…There was nothing unusual on the first floor, and the island in the park did not have the conditions to build a basement. Ming Ze winked at her, hinting at her. Ji Jing quickly nodded and quietly walked to the second floor.
After taking a few steps up the stairs, Ji Jing saw from afar that the second floor was locked.
The second floor of the house was tightly locked. This kind of security referred to the fact that apart from a physical lock, there were also many talismans used to prevent people from entering. Clearly, the owner of the house had come prepared.
The concealment array at the door was easy to deal with, but the talisman on this door was not simple. Even Ming Ze had to spend a lot of effort to open the door.
“Squeak-‘
Ming Ze pushed the door open forcefully, and the dim light immediately penetrated into the space on the second floor.
He vaguely saw a figure in the corner and subconsciously wanted to block in front of Ji Jing. However, when he saw the figure clearly, he retracted his actions.
Ji Jing was a step slower when she entered the room. In an instant, she felt that she was locked onto by a gaze.
She looked over warily and saw a small figure. It was one of the missing children. The child seemed to be holding something sharp in his hand, reflecting a vague light. There was another black shadow behind her.
For a moment, both sides held their breaths.
“Don’t be afraid. Were you brought here from C City? We are here to save you.”
Ji Jing asked tentatively. Her voice was very soft, but the figure in the darkness did not move.
Was this child the missing one? Was she holding a knife?
Ming Ze tentatively took a step forward. The figure obviously shrank back and became nervous.
Ji Jing frowned and exchanged glances with Ming Ze. What sharp weapon did this child have in her hands? She wasn’t sure if it would hurt her, so she shouldn’t act rashly.
The few of them fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Ji Jing’s phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Tsk. Who was it?
If it was the Ji family, she would definitely settle the score with them later!
Ji Jing was secretly annoyed. She opened the caller ID and was stunned for a moment. It was Lin Han?
With Lin Han’s personality, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to call unless there was something special. As if she had a premonition guiding her, she still answered the call.
“Daoist Priest Zizhu…” Lin Han’s voice was heard.
After hearing Lin Han’s words, Ji Jing was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Lin Han to be involved in this matter.
Could his sister be that figure in the corner?
No, that was not right. The journey from C City to D City was not short. They had to rely on Bai Wang’s helicopter to arrive at such a fast speed. Even if the suspect who abducted the child used metaphysics, he could not have reached such a fast speed.
Ji Jing was still looking at the figure in the dark. She thought of something. Even if that child wasn’t Lin Han’s sister, this might be an opportunity.
In a flash, Ji Jing decisively turned on the speaker.
Lin Han’s anxiety and worry came through the phone.
“Mr. Lin, did your sister attend a summer camp?”Ji Jing asked in a low voice.
“Yes, I did. It just ended last week. Does this summer camp have anything to do with her leaving school?”Lin Han immediately realized the crux of the problem and was ready to get someone to investigate.
“Someone used this summer camp to find children with similar birth characters and abducted them to D City. We have now found their location.”Ji Jing explained briefly,” If there are any clues about your sister, I’ll call you back immediately.”
“Alright.” Ji Jing’s tone was unusual. Lin Han realized that she might be dealing with some special situation. Although he had too many questions in his heart, he restrained himself and hung up the phone.
” You heard it.” Ji Jing put away her phone and took a harmless step forward.” It was a call from the parent of another missing child. We’re really here to save you. Put down the knife first, okay?’”‘
“Really?” The figure in the darkness replied for the first time..
