Chapter 66 Children

The two first went to the home of their first child, Xiaoqing.

Xiao Qing was wearing pajamas and was devouring McDonald's takeaway.His mother, Li Lan, who looked very capable with her ponytail, was drying clothes.A school uniform was flying on the balcony, and there were two immature words in the blank space of the sleeves: Xiaoqing, and a tiger was drawn beside it.

After Xiaoqing saw the policeman, he looked at his mother with some fear. Li Lan touched his back and said softly: "It's okay, just tell the police uncle about the matter."

Gu Yexi: "Xiaoqing, can you tell me what happened this afternoon?"

Xiaoqing: "We went to the park after school in the afternoon, and then I suggested hide and seek. Xiaodie lost the rock-paper-scissors scissors, and was responsible for finding it, and the others hid. After starting the game, I haven't seen Xiaofang."

Gu Yexi: "Didn't you say before that you were the one responsible for the search?"

Xiaoqing's eyes were a little dodgy, but she answered quickly, "I was nervous and said the wrong thing. What I want to say is that I suggested catching and hiding, and I was not responsible for catching."

Mo Wang: "When you left, didn't you call him?"

Xiao Qing scratched her head, "I don't really remember, maybe someone shouted."

Gu Yexi: "Don't you find it strange that he didn't leave with you?"

Xiaoqing: "He is very good at playing hide and seek. He tried to find him before, and his mother came out after looking for him. We were hungry at the time, and we couldn't find him after searching, so we went to find his mother first. .”

Gu Yexi nodded slightly, and asked again: "After you started the game, have you really never seen him again?"

Xiao Qing shook his head.

Gu Yexi: "During the play, did you hear any strange sounds or see strange people?"

Xiao Qing still shook his head.

Mo Wang: "Where were you hiding then?"

Xiaoqing was obviously taken aback, "Uh, I... I was behind the stone next to the fish pond."

Mo Wang: "Did Xiaodie find you?"

Xiaoqing: "No."

Gu Yexi suddenly came closer and smelled it, "The weather is fine today, did you sweat a lot when you played in the afternoon? Haven't you taken a shower yet?"

Xiaoqing shook her head subconsciously, "Not yet."

Li Lan put her arms around Xiao Qing, "I'm laughing at you, children will sweat all over when they play like crazy."

Gu Yexi smiled and looked at Li Lan, "What about you? Have you noticed anything strange?"

Li Lan shook her head, "I was chatting with a few other mothers, and I didn't notice the children at all. When I was looking for someone... sorry, I didn't notice anything special, so I couldn't help I'm really sorry."

Gu Yexi smiled slightly, "You are already helping us by cooperating with our investigation."

The second child, Xiaodie who lives in the next building, is a very cute little girl with double ball hair, a bit like a New Year's doll.

Xiaodie's mother, He Xiuli, is pregnant with her second child, and her belly looks five or six months old. Her father, Deng Ying, wears glasses, has a bald head, and has a kind face.

Xiaodie's eyes were red and swollen after crying, and she looked very pitiful in a pink dress.

Gu Yexi asked as gently as possible: "Xiaodie, we want to ask you a few questions now, can you answer us?"

He Xiuli touched her daughter's head, "Xiaodie is good, uncle is a good person, they are helping to find Xiao Fang. You also want Xiao Fang to come back soon, right?"

Xiaodie timidly grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, "You, what do you want to ask?"

Gu Yexi: "Tell me first, what happened this afternoon?"

Xiaodie: "We were playing in the park in the afternoon. Xiaoqing suggested hide and seek. I lost the rock-paper-scissors game, so I was in charge of finding someone. I haven't seen Xiaofang since I started the game, and I haven't found him."

Mo Wang: "Didn't you say that when you were hiding, you saw Xiao Fang go to the toilet?"

Xiao Die: "It was when I was looking for them that I saw a person very similar to him, but I was wrong."

Gu Yexi's eyes became sharper, "How do you know you're wrong?"

Xiaodie: "I... that person's hairstyle is different from Xiaofang's."

Gu Yexi: "Then why did you think it was Xiao Fang at first?"

Fluttershy: "Because he is also wearing our school uniform."

Gu Yexi: "Are you all wearing school uniforms?"

Xiaodie nodded, "Well, we have to wear school uniforms every day when we go to school."

Gu Yexi: "Then why aren't you wearing it now?"

He Xiuli also noticed this, "Hey, by the way, Xiaodie, why did you change your clothes?"

Xiaodie's eyes flustered, "Uh, I... the park is too dirty, I got my clothes dirty while playing hide-and-seek, so I changed them out."

Mo Wang: "Did you notice anything strange when you went to find them? Has anyone ever approached you?"

Xiaodie: "No, nothing strange."

Mo Wang: "Then have you found the person who is hiding?"

Xiaodie didn't seem to understand, "What?"

Mo Wang repeated, "Aren't you guys playing hide and seek? Have you found your companion who is hiding?"

Xiaodie paused, then shook her head, "No."

Gu Yexi seemed to be curious and asked: "Then how did you end the game in the end?"

Xiaodie hesitated and said, "They were hungry, so they came out by themselves, and I was also hungry, so we went back together."

Gu Yexi asked: "Where did they come from?"

Xiaodie: "I don't remember."

Gu Yexi turned to ask He Xiuli, "After Lu Fang was found missing, you were responsible for staying and watching the child, and how many others went to look for it?"

He Xiuli nodded, "Well, I'm pregnant with a child, so it's inconvenient."

"Then did you notice anything strange?"

"No, but my attention was on the four children at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to the surroundings."

"Before Lu Fang disappeared, the four of you had been chatting on the bench?"

"Correct."

"Has anyone ever left?"

He Xiuli was startled, then nodded, "Yes."

"Sure?"

"Ah."

"I didn't notice anything strange during the chat? Didn't I hear any strange sounds?"

"No."

"Okay," Gu Yexi stood up, "If you think of anything, please contact us."

He Xiuli nodded, "Okay, definitely."

The home of the last child, Huanhuan, is on the other side of the community, about 5 minutes away.

Under the street lamp, the shadows of Gu Yexi and Mo Wang were stretched very long, Gu Yexi was wrinkled and silent, as if he was not in a good mood.

Mo Wang took Gu Yexi's hand, put it in his coat pocket, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think those two children are lying?"

Gu Yexi said nothing, only nodded slightly.

"Because their statements were inconsistent?"

"It's not just that."

"What else?"

"Let's talk about it after talking with the last child."

"You suspect they were involved in the kidnapping?"

Gu Yexi didn't seem to want to discuss it, "I'll talk about it later."
