nThis was too strange! It was not a normal kidnapping at all!

nChen Chen’s brows were tightly furrowed. He looked out the window and suddenly realized that this window seemed to be facing the bridge hole. From here, he could clearly see what was inside the bridge hole.

nWhat did this group of people mean? They wanted Bai Ran to monitor that bridge hole?

nWhat was going on?!

nChen Chen scratched his head and sighed deeply. He turned around and continued to check for any clues in the house.

nThe house was very empty. Other than a table, there was nothing else.

nWait, there was a wooden stick at the corner of the table!

nWere these used by those criminals for self-defense?

nChen Chen walked over and squatted down, preparing to pick it up to check. When his hand touched the stick, the messy footprints on the ground attracted Chen Chen’s attention.

nChen Chen observed these footprints carefully. It seemed like at least ten people had appeared in this house.

nMoreover, some of their footprints were very strange. Some of them looked like they were walking normally, and some looked like they were running quickly. Their footsteps were very big and messy, making them look very anxious.

nHowever, the footprints inside were too many and too messy. Chen Chen could not be completely sure.

nFortunately, this place had been abandoned for a long time. The dust on the ground was very thick, and almost all kinds of traces had been preserved.

nHe also saw some scratches on the ground. It seemed like there had been some scuffling here?

nThere were even a few traces of things being dragged on the ground.

nChen Chen was even more puzzled. Bai Ran was just a little girl, and among the bandits, the person who was talking to him on the phone sounded very energetic. He was a tall and burly man. Seeing so many footprints, he clearly had a lot of help.

nTherefore, it couldn’t be them fighting with Bai Ran! Besides, why would something be dragged away? Even if Bai Ran was dragged away by them, it would only be a trace!

nChen Chen pinched the space between his eyebrows. A possibility appeared in his mind, and it was the only possibility!

nThere were more than a few people who had been here before!

nThey had a conflict with the original kidnappers! In the end, one side failed and was dragged out by the victorious side. Furthermore, they brought Bai Ran away!

nBut who had failed?!

nDid this happen before or after these kidnappers called him?!

nIf it was before, it meant that these kidnappers had definitely won. If it was after that, it would be difficult to tell!

nChen Chen sighed deeply and continued to look at the marks on the ground carefully, trying to identify them.

nThese anxious and messy footsteps seemed to extend even further. Almost all around the house were these people’s footprints.

nAs for the other footprints, they looked much more orderly. The range was much smaller, and they seemed to be more concentrated by the window.

nChen Chen felt that the messy footprints belonged to those kidnappers. After all, they had come in first, so the range of activity would be greater.

nFurthermore, if they belonged to the group of people who came in later, it did not make sense at all. How could those kidnappers let these people walk around the house? If they could walk around, it could only mean that the kidnappers had been subdued. However, if they had the ability to subdue the kidnappers, they would not have such anxious and messy steps as if they were escaping.

nTherefore, these footprints would only belong to the kidnappers.

nChen Chen walked to the traces that had been dragged away and looked at them. The footprints beside the traces confirmed his guess. These footprints were the same as the next person’s. In other words, the kidnappers with messy footprints had been dragged away.

nIn other words, Bai Ran was taken away by this group of people?

nWho were these people?!

nWait!

nChen Chen lowered his head. He seemed to have seen a different footprint as if it was made from thin heels.

nAs there were too many footprints in the surroundings and it was too chaotic, this footprint rarely appeared, so he had not noticed it before.

nHe glanced at it and saw that it seemed to be just two rows of footprints.

nThe footprints could not have belonged to Bai Ran. Firstly, the kidnapper could not have let her walk like this. Secondly, other than working, she rarely wore such stilettos..
