Chapter 344 Doorman.

In any dynasty, the status of the doorman is extremely low.

This was especially true in the Song Dynasty, where the Song Dynasty's doormen had to engrave their faces to show their humble status, and it was difficult for them to get promoted, either doing this errand for the rest of their lives, or changing careers halfway.

It is not very difficult to find the doorman ten years ago.

On the night when Hua Lang was looking for Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce found the doorman in Tianchang County ten years ago, so the two of them called Hua Lang and went to visit together, Wen Meng and Yin Wuyi waited at home.

Ten years ago, the doorman was called Chen Lin, at that time he was already in his forties, and he had been waiting for the doorman for more than ten years, and then he worked for a few years, so he quit his job and now does some small business at home.

Hua Lang and others came to visit, which surprised Chen Lin, after all, he was a common man who didn't be a doorman, and he really couldn't imagine why the county magistrate would come to visit.

At this time, Chen Lin was already in his fifties and looked like an old man, and after he saluted Bao Zheng, he asked, "I don't know why Lord Bao came to the small people's residence?" ”

Bao Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "After listening to the fact that you were a doorman in Tianchang County ten years ago, the county order wanted to know about the case of the child's disappearance, you checked the passers-by, have you ever seen a couple who left Tianchang County with a child?" ”

When Chen Lin heard this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, indeed." ”

"Then why did you let those people go?" Hua Lang asked first, because he thought this matter was so strange, since there was a case of missing children, then the doorman must be more careful when he encounters a child, and he must be sure whether the child is the missing child before he can be released.

Chen Lin was a little helpless, and said: "At that time, the case of the disappearance of children was boiling in Tianchang County, and many parents were frightened, and they had to take their children everywhere they went, those who went far away, those who did business, and those who went to relatives, all of them, we could meet more than a dozen such couples a day, and we really couldn't find out, and those children didn't cry or make trouble, we really have no reason to doubt it!" ”

"And what about sleeping children?"

"Of course, there is."

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Hua Lang and the others basically understood that the kidnappers used this to take the child out of the country at that time.

It's just that after taking the child out of the city, they took the child there, what was the purpose of their kidnapping of the child, for money?

If it's for money, wouldn't it be better to kidnap younger children, because the younger the child, the less people know the Tao, and the only way to sell it can be sold for a good price!

If they choose to kidnap a child as young as four or five years old, it means that they are not in it for money, but if it is not for money, then what will it be for?

When they left Chen Lin's house, it was already late, and the spring wind came out very pleasantly, but the three of them had a sad face.

When the three of them separated, Hua Lang said to Bao Zheng: "Now we have only investigated the affairs of Tianchang County, and we have asked Brother Bao to help investigate the other counties." ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "This is natural." ”

The night was deep, Hua Lang sat in the courtyard looking at the stars in the sky, Wen Feng didn't go back to the room to sleep for some reason, he came to Hua Lang's side, snuggled up to Hua Lang's leg in his own unique way, Hua Lang smiled, looked at Wen Feng, and said as if talking to himself: "Where are you from, and how did you get rid of the kidnappers' guards?" ”

Wen Feng didn't understand what Hua Lang said, he just snuggled up, as if he snuggled up to Hua Lang, he could get spiritual security.

For Wen Feng's reaction, Hua Lang could only repay it with a smile.

After two days, the officials sent by Bao Zheng to the counties rushed back, and after Gongsun Ce sorted out their news, he sent someone to call Hualang and others.

In the living room of the county government, Gongsun Ce looked at everyone and said: "The official has brought back the news, in their investigation, half of the children were kidnapped by the thieves because of their parents' negligence, and the other parents were deceived by the thieves' companions and caused negligence to the children, so that it caused a tragedy, in addition, there is a very strange thing, that is, in Liuhe County, a month after the child's disappearance, another child disappeared, that is, among these children, A total of twenty people are missing. ”

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Hua Lang frowned, he felt that things were very strange, why did those thieves deceive their parents, and they also wanted to deceive those children, in every place, there are many children aged four or five, they can find a lot of children who have been neglected by their parents, and they kidnap those children, isn't it safer?

Are the children of those parents special than the other children?

This reminds Hanaro of some things in the story of gods and monsters, such as some monsters want to drink the blood of children born in the yin in order to cross the catastrophe or something, and some want to eat the children born in the yang, could it be that the disappearance of these children has something to do with these?

However, Hua Lang absolutely did not believe that there were ghosts in the world, and he did not believe that anyone wanted to arrest these children to practice, but Hua Lang still asked, "What do those missing children have in common?" ”

They hadn't considered this question before, but now that Hualang asked, Gongsun Ce hurriedly checked the news, and after reading it, he said: "There is nothing in common, their age difference is less than two years, and their birthdays and birth times are also different, but they are all boys." ”

The argument that eating children to practice is really unreliable, so why did the thieves kidnap these children?

"Is there any progress on the doorman?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "We asked the doormen of various counties, and almost all of them said that they had seen couples leaving with their children in their arms, but not in Liuhe County. ”

It's Liuhe County again, Hua Lang frowned, and asked, "Do you know the reason?" ”

Gongsun Ce shook his head: "There are not many children missing in Liuhe County, but the doorman there really didn't see the couple who left with the child, even if the child disappeared a month later, another child disappeared, and the doorman there didn't see the person who left with the child." ”

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, everyone felt strange, if the thieves didn't use this method to transport the child out of the city, then how did they do it?

Could it be that their destination is in Liuhe County, so they don't need to transport it at all?

Hua Lang thought like this, and continued to ask, "But someone entered Liuhe County from outside with a child in his arms?" ”

Gongsun Ce shook his head: "I have already asked those doormen about this, and they also said no." ”

"So who was the county magistrate of Liuhe County at that time, so did you ask the doorman where they noticed something unusual when the child disappeared?"
