The group dispersed and searched for Xiao Tao in various places.

The campsite is only so big, and there aren't many rooms. We've searched everywhere, but we still can't find Xiaotao.

They even searched the beach and shoreline.

Rogers walked up and asked, "Boss, there's nowhere in the camp to hide anyone."

Sun Chengwu countered, "Will Xiao Tao just vanish into thin air?"

Rogers frowned, then his eyes lit up. "There's one place we haven't checked."

He ran to the dormitory and knocked on the foundation beneath it.

He pointed to the foundation and said, "When the dormitory was built, we considered that direct contact with the ground would cause cold air to rise, so it was designed with openwork and an insulation layer."

There's a hidden layer underneath.

When he tapped his fingers on the interlayer, it made a thumping sound.

The next moment, a thumping sound came from inside the mezzanine.

Rogers' eyes lit up. "Found it!"

Rogers commanded the group, "Find the entrance!"

They searched around the dormitory and finally found a hole about half a person's height behind a snowdrift.

Inside the cave entrance, there was some snow that had been brought in. Xiao Tao was tied up tightly, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, and was hidden inside.

Rogers climbed in himself, untied Little Peach, and brought her out.

Xiao Tao's face was streaked with tears, and she was deathly pale from shock.

Rogers helped Xiaotao remove the rags, and instead of immediately asking who had kidnapped her, he was worried about her health and asked, "How are you?"

Xiao Tao shook her head in terror, tears welling up in her eyes, and cried out, "Brother! Dad, where are you?"

Sun Chengwu stepped forward, squatted down in front of Xiao Tao, and asked softly, "Do you recognize me?"

Xiao Tao certainly remembered Sun Chengwu.

Every time Ye Zhi Qiu returned home, she would talk about how good Sun Cheng Wu was and how much kindness he had shown to their family.

Xiao Tao nodded, "Brother Wu."

Sun Chengwu said, "Your brother went to the mountains to look for you. Do you remember who kidnapped you?"

Xiao Tao's answer made Sun Chengwu's heart sink. "I don't know. I wanted to go to the toilet, and then someone covered my mouth and blindfolded me from behind."

Then they tied me up, groped me all over, and kissed me a lot.

Before he could do anything, I heard someone talking, and then he led me away.

Later he stopped and started touching and kissing me.

He left after a while.

Upon hearing Xiao Tao's account, Sun Chengwu's face instantly darkened.

He turned his head sharply, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, and said, suppressing his anger, "Whoever did this, step forward. If I find out, think carefully about the consequences."

No one speaks.

Sun Chengwu stood up and said, word by word, "Fine, I'll investigate myself!"

Sun Chengwu called out, "Old Luo!"

Rogers, standing nearby, was also furious. "Boss, what do you suggest we do?"

Sun Chengwu pointed at the five people, including Chen Han, and said, "Go and bring Lao Cai out. Let the six of them confront each other. They must confess one of them today."

A standoff occurs because people reveal their weaknesses and vulnerabilities when they are angry.

Sun Chengwu didn't believe they could reach a conclusion through their argument.

But you can glean some clues from their arguments.

Soon, Lao Cai was brought out.

When he saw Xiao Tao, his face suddenly froze, and he couldn't take another step.

Big Black dragged him forward, as if he were a zombie.

By this point, the answer is actually quite obvious.

But Sun Chengwu insisted on being realistic and wouldn't do anything without evidence.

He looked at the six men and said coldly, "Come on, tell me. I'll give you two hours. If you can't find out who the murderer is, then you're all the murderers."

Chen Han grew anxious and asked, "Why? I didn't do it!"

Rogers kicked Chen Han in the stomach. "If you didn't do it, go and prove it! Show me the evidence!"

Why are you yelling at the boss?

Chen Han stared at Lao Cai, pointing at him and saying, "It's him, it's him! He was out for so long this morning, only he had the time to commit the crime!"

At that moment, someone nearby said, "Yes, it must be Old Cai!"

It's obvious they want to push Lao Cai out as the murderer.

At this point, five people point the finger at one person, regardless of whether that person is the murderer or not, as long as they can escape punishment.

The five of them unanimously believed that Lao Cai was the murderer.

Old Cai remained silent and offered no explanation, simply staring blankly at Xiao Tao.

Rogers asked, "Do you have anything else to explain?"

Old Cai's lips trembled, and after a long pause, he managed to utter a single word, "No..."

Rogers asked, "What?"

Old Cai cried, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

Chen Han pressed, "If it wasn't you, why were you so flustered when you saw Xiao Tao? What were you doing away for so long this morning?"

Old Cai weakly defended himself, "I have diarrhea, I really have diarrhea. I didn't check the time, and I don't think it's been long."

Another person said, "Someone just said that you harassed Xiaotao last night. I think you were rejected and mocked last night, so you're holding a grudge."

Old Cai said in despair, "How is that possible? I like her, but she doesn't like me. I can't force her to do anything!"

She was so young, and I'm not an animal, how could I do such a thing?

Chen Han cursed directly, "You old beast, you can know a person's face but not their heart."

Sun Chengwu watched coldly from the sidelines.

Rogers guessed Sun Chengwu's thoughts and leaned over to whisper, "Boss, this doesn't seem like Lao Cai. He's practically the perfect victim. I feel like something's off about this Chen Han."

Sun Chengwu nodded, not drawing a conclusion easily, "Let's wait and see."

The five men took turns bombarding Lao Cai, but Lao Cai just cried and didn't say anything.

At this moment, Sun Chengwu noticed Xiao Tao out of the corner of his eye. Xiao Tao was staring straight at Lao Cai, with tears glistening in her eyes.

Sun Chengwu was stunned.

What's going on?

Xiao Tao, you're actually worried about Lao Cai?

Is there some hidden story behind this?

However, he still did not stop it.

Finally, unable to bear the scolding any longer, Lao Cai suddenly confessed, "It was me! I kidnapped her!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiaotao shouted, "No, it can't be him! I believe him!"

Xiao Tao's sudden outburst stunned everyone.

What's going on?

Did the victim speak up for the murderer?

Is it Stockholm syndrome?

Rogers was equally bewildered. "Boss, what's going on? This girl..."

He suddenly realized something, his mouth dropped open in shock, "No, boss, they... could it be...?"

Sun Chengwu breathed a long sigh of relief.

He roughly knows what happened.

Sun Chengwu looked at Chen Han and asked, "Chen Han, do you have anything else to explain?"

Chen Han looked completely bewildered. "Boss, he's already confessed, why do I have to explain?"

Sun Chengwu shook his head. "Are you determined to see results?"
