Chapter 221 Big Sister
Su Ziyu didn't notice anything wrong with Wang Xi, but Qian Feng did see some clues.
However, he did not have the consideration for other people's mentality, so he did not say anything.
On the way, Wang Xi bought another hand-pulled pancake and ate it slowly while walking, his eyes constantly looking at the surrounding environment.
Su Ziyu looked at him strangely, "How did you find yourself here?"
Wang Xi swallowed the food in his mouth, sorted out his thoughts and said,
"You know I used to write mystery novels, and one of my novels involved a plot about human traffickers."
"I also looked up a lot of information at the time and found that the places where the traffickers hid people also had their own characteristics."
"Either a remote and backward mountain village, or a long-abandoned building, preferably one with a secret room or cellar."
"If you're in a city, then places with a large flow of people and a complex environment are the best choice. As long as you can firmly control the abducted victims and prevent them from calling for help, it generally won't attract attention."
"Urban villages with a large number of self-built houses not only have complex terrain but also lack comprehensive surveillance, making them the most likely places to have cellars."
"I went to the south of the city and wandered around all day today. I asked a lot of people, but I didn't find any clues. So I came here to take a look tonight."
Wang Xi's eyes were dim. After all, twenty-four hours had passed since Xiaoya disappeared, and he didn't know what had happened to her.
He just wanted to find Xiaoya as soon as possible and prevent her from getting hurt as little as possible.
But his power is limited after all, and his physical strength is also limited.
What's more, Wang Xi is a stay-at-home guy who stays at home all year round and lacks exercise. He can persist until now thanks to his perseverance.
Su Ziyu nodded in understanding. Speaking of which, Su Ziyu had read the mystery novels written by Wang Xi when he was in his third year of high school.
Although it seemed like a long time ago to Su Ziyu, she still remembered a little bit of the content.
At that time, she was overwhelmed by the pressure of studying in her senior year of high school, so she wanted to find some other entertainment to relax herself, and then Wang Xi recommended his masterpiece to her.
Wang Xi's mystery novels have compact plots and are particularly brain-burning. Su Ziyu's mind never really relaxes when he reads.
However, as she watched, she was attracted by the plot, and even though it was brain-burning, she couldn't help but keep watching.
After reading a novel for a while every night and brainstorming, Su Ziyu would quickly fall into a deep sleep and wake up the next morning full of energy again.
Two weeks passed before Su Ziyu finished reading the book. He then found that the pressure that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time seemed to have been released, and he no longer felt anxious.
While Su Ziyu was still reminiscing about the past, Qian Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
At this time, Wang Xi had finished eating the hand-pulled pancake in his hand and went to buy a bottle of mineral water.
Su Ziyu followed Qian Feng's gaze and saw an old lady with a hunched back and gray hair setting up a stall at the entrance of an alley to sell mutton soup.
The old lady's hair was combed meticulously, and her wrinkled face was filled with a kind and gentle smile. Under the warm yellow light, her figure was particularly eye-catching.
The three small tables set up next to the stall were all full of people. In this cold winter, they all smiled with satisfaction when they could drink a sip of hot mutton offal soup after a busy day.
Very simple and ordinary.
Su Ziyu didn't notice anything wrong, so he asked quietly, "Did you find anything?"
Wang Xi also set his sights on the stall, looking at everyone from the old lady to the diners, one by one, very carefully.
Because the temperature outside was very low, even though it wasn't snowing, everyone wrapped themselves up tightly.
Only when drinking soup will the covered face be completely exposed, so the only difference you can see is from the body shape.
After looking at the people, Wang Xi slowly scanned the surrounding environment, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide.
They were now at the upper part of a slope and could already see the other side of the slope.
The mutton offal stall was located on the flat section at the top of the slope.
Occupying that position, you have a high view and can overlook the entire street, and you can also see all the entrances and exits. It is a good place to keep watch.
Wang Xi suddenly turned his back and squatted down.
Wang Xi suddenly thought of a question. After Su Ziyu's reminder, he realized that he and Xiaoya might have been targeted by human traffickers as early as when they were in Province G.
That means that group of people must know him.
The geographical location of this place is so good that if there really is someone keeping watch here and then recognizes him, it will definitely alert the enemy.
By then, who knows what crazy things that group of people will do.
Whenever he thought about it, Wang Xi felt like trembling all over.
He was not afraid of encountering any danger, but he was worried about Xiaoya who was still in the hands of human traffickers.
No, he couldn't show his face so openly.
Su Ziyu was stunned, thinking that Wang Xi was feeling unwell, so he quickly squatted down to ask,
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Wang Xi didn't look up, and lowered his voice, "I can't expose my face to the public."
He was secretly worried that someone might have seen his face when he was completely off guard.
Su Ziyu immediately understood what Wang Xi meant. He fished out a pink disposable mask with small flowers on it from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Xi's hand. His voice also rose slightly.
"Let's go have a bowl of mutton soup. He must have eaten too hastily and swallowed some cold air, so he's feeling sick."
"Hurry up and drink a bowl of hot soup, it should make you feel better."
As he said this, Su Ziyu turned around and pulled Qian Feng's sleeve, indicating that he should help Wang Xi, just for show.
Qian Feng had a cold face that looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away, and he helped Wang Xi up from the ground very obediently.
At this time, Wang Xi was wearing a mask on his face, and he took off the black-framed glasses he was originally wearing and put them in his coat pocket.
Su Ziyu walked to the mutton soup stall with a worried look on his face, and gave the old lady a sweet smile.
"Grandma, give us three bowls of mutton soup."
After saying that, she looked at the table with an embarrassed expression, "There's no room left here!"
Before the old lady could say anything, a tall and strong man sitting at one of the tables stood up with a smile.
"Big sister, we've finished drinking, so we'll make room for you."
"Come sit here!"
