Daddy Academy

Chapter 2500 Listen to my analysis (for Xiaomi’s birthday)

Ding Jiamin and Xiaomi came to Little Red Horse Academy to understand the situation and then left. They had to go to other places to look for people.

"Take us there."

"Take us with you~"

"Let me out, let me out~~~"

Xiaobai and the other two watched them leave helplessly, but they were locked inside by the big iron gate. They really wanted to sing "Tears Behind Bars".

The three of them didn't come out of their acting state until Xiaomi and the other person disappeared. Lao Li also withdrew his gaze and continued reading his newspaper, pretending that he didn't notice them at all.

But he was still noticed by the three little ones, and he heard them approaching him.

Xiao Bai came over and asked, "Li Baibai, who do you think took Ah Zhong away?"

Lao Li said: "I don't know. I didn't notice it last night, but it shouldn't have been taken away by someone. I hope nothing will happen."

Xiao Bai said, "What's wrong with Ah Zhong? Why doesn't he go home? Did he have a fight with his parents?"

Lao Li said: "It's possible, but you can't run away from home even if there is a quarrel. You are still such a young child."

Xier agreed: "This is not safe. It is very dangerous for children."

Seeing this, Xiao Xiaobai, even though he had nothing to say, still had to say a few words to show his presence, so he said, "Oh, Mi Doufu, I hope Zhong is doing well."

Upon hearing this, Xier hurriedly took out the baby Buddha from her neck and prayed to the baby Buddha to bless Ah Zhong.

The three of them gathered in the yard to discuss where Ah Zhong had gone. Suddenly, a voice came from the gate of the yard.

"Excuse me, is this the Little Red Pony Academy?"

Old Li looked outside the door and saw a man and a woman, probably in their 30s.

He stood up and walked over, saying, "Here, what can I do for you?"

The man said: "Hello, we are Lu Zhong's parents, and we are here to look for him..."

It turned out that these two people were Lu Zhong's parents. They heard that Lu Zhong had been to Little Red Horse Academy last night, so they hurried over to check the situation.

Although they knew the police had found this place, they were still worried and anxiously waiting for news at home, so they rushed over.

Both of them looked bad, especially Lu Zhong's mother, whose eyes were red and looked like she had been crying and did not sleep well last night.

Old Li told them what Ding Jiamin had just done and also informed them of all the news about Lu Zhong.

After hearing this, the two men thanked again and then walked towards Huangjia Village, probably to chase Ding Jiamin.

Xiaobai and the other two stood by the iron gate and watched them go away. Xiaobai suddenly grabbed the iron fence and shook it loudly: "Let me out - let me out! I want to go find Ah Zhong too! Let me go!"

Xiao Xiaobai followed suit, grabbing the iron fence and shaking it, shouting that he wanted to go out.

Old Li said, "Sixth graders in Luzhong will get lost. You are much younger than him. What if you get lost?"

Xiao Xiaobai didn't care about all this, she was just there to make up the numbers and was still clamoring to go out.

Old Li was too lazy to pay attention to them.

On the other side, Ding Jiamin took Xiaomi to Huangjia Village to inquire about Lu Zhong's affairs, and asked the shop owners along the street if they had seen him last night.

They asked all the way to the pancake shop, where Malanhua was being investigated.

"I closed the shop and went home at 9:30 last night, and I definitely didn't see the boy passing by before that," said Malanhua.

After dinner last night, she scolded Bai Jianping, Xiaobai and others, then came to the store and was busy until half past nine before going home.

Ding Jiamin was asking questions, and Xiaomi was taking notes, looking very serious. After hearing what Malanhua said, she couldn't help but ask, "That means you don't know whether Lu Zhong came here after 9:30, right?"

Malanhua nodded: "Yes. Xiaomi, you are amazing."

Xiaomi bared his teeth and tried to smile, then quickly made a note in his notebook.

Ding Jiamin asked her: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Xiaomi put away the notebook, shook his head, and said, "Let's continue looking for someone quickly."

"Okay, thank you Sister Ma, let's go." Ding Jiamin thanked Malanhua.

Malanhua escorted her out of the store: "You're welcome. This is what we should do. I hope the boy is healthy and safe. It's so heartbreaking."

Ding Jiamin and Xiaomi continued to investigate along the street. Half an hour later, the two stood on the roadside discussing the case.

"The owners of three stores said that they did not see Lu Zhong passing by before 9:30, so we can conclude that Lu Zhong did not actually come here," said Ding Jiamin.

Xiaomi thought for a moment and said, "Li Baibai's notebook says that Lu Zhong left Little Red Horse at 9:25 and came this way, but Aunt Ma closed the store and went home at 9:30. They both said they didn't see Lu Zhong before this time, so Brother Zhong might have been in the area between Little Red Horse Academy and the Jianbing Guozi store, or he quietly left Huangjia Village and went to West Chang'an Street."

Ding Jiamin nodded, agreeing with Xiaomi's analysis, and said, "Then our next investigation direction is to sort out the stores that we have not investigated along the way, and then investigate West Chang'an Street."

Xiaomi said: "We can check the surveillance on West Chang'an Avenue."

"Very good. Then what other stores have we not investigated just now? Quickly take out the map."

Xiaomi found a map of Huangjia Village from her schoolbag. The records on it were very detailed, with all the shops along the street clearly marked.

Xiaomi drew on the map with a red pen and quickly reported: "Sister, there are still three stores we haven't checked. One is a cake shop, which is not open. One is a boiled food shop, which is also not open. The other is Wan Xiaohu's barber shop, which is also not open."

Ding Jiamin said, "Very good, then we will check again. If they are still not open, call the boss and ask them to come over."

"Ok!"

Xiaomi was full of energy, and the two first found the boiled food shop, but the door was still closed. Ding Jiamin found the shop owner's mobile phone number, called it, and asked a few questions on the phone, but got no result.

The same thing happened with the second cake shop; the owner said he had not seen Lu Zhong.

In the end, only Lao Niu Barber Shop was left.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the store, they saw Lu Zhong's parents coming. The two sides met, communicated the situation first, and then went to Lao Niu Barber Shop together.

Just then, the door of the barber shop opened a crack, and a little boy came out, holding a basin of water that had just been used to wipe the barber mirror, and poured it at the door. When he looked up, he was startled to see several people standing on the side of the road looking at him.

"You guys? Huh? Xiaomi?"

"Wan Xiaohu!"

Wan Xiaohu and Xiaomi both recognized each other, and Ding Jiamin stepped forward and said, "Xiaohu, is your grandfather home?"

Wan Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "He's at home! I'll go call him."

He sensed something was wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he quickly ran back to the store and shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa - Sister Xiaomin wants to talk to you - Grandpa -"

Ding Jiamin and his group did not enter the shop, but stood at the door waiting, because the barber shop was not open at all. The door was still closed, with only a crack opened, which was enough for Wan Xiaohu to go in and out.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the barber shop, then the door opened and Lao Niu appeared with an apron tied around his waist.

"Officer Ding, what's wrong? Come in and sit down." Lao Niu said, welcoming them into the store.

He looked at Lu Zhong's parents in confusion. He didn't know them, but he was very familiar with Xiaomi.

Ding Jiamin first apologized for disturbing them so early in the morning, and then explained the purpose of her visit.

"Lu Zhong?" Lao Niu asked in surprise, and looked at the man and woman beside Ding Jiamin again. It turned out that these two people were Lu Zhong's parents.

Just as he was about to speak, Wan Xiaohu, who was listening nearby, exclaimed, "Brother Zhong? He's at my house! Brother Zhong—"

He shouted towards the stairs, and soon footsteps were heard, sounding like someone was going downstairs, and then Lu Zhong appeared in everyone's sight.

Lu Zhong's father was greatly relieved to see that he was safe and sound. His mother was about to get angry, but she held herself back, her eyes red.
