sneak peek

Huanhuan's mother, Bai Yue'er, has a slightly chubby body and instant noodle hair, which reminds Gu Yexi of the charter woman in Hong Kong movies.As soon as the two entered, Bai Yue'er asked with concern: "Did Xiao Fang find it?"

Gu Yexi shook her head, "I'm still looking. By the way, where is Huanhuan?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, the child said that he was sweating in the park and needs to take a bath. He is in the bathroom now. You have to wait."

"It's ok."

Bai Yue'er poured tea for them, and said worriedly: "I thought they went to the park often and it was safe, but I didn't expect... Hey, the person who took Xiao Fang is really wicked. It seems that the law and order here It got worse."

"Did you notice anything when you went to help find someone?"

"The park is very big. We didn't search all of them. We only searched in the places where the children said they were playing. We didn't find anything."

"And before that? Before Lu Fang disappeared, did you notice anything strange?"

Bai Yue'er thought about it seriously, then shook her head, "No."

"By the way, did anyone leave when you were chatting?"

Bai Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "You suspect that the kidnapper is one of us? Impossible."

"I didn't mean that, but...why isn't it possible?"

Bai Yue'er hesitated for a moment, and said: "He Xiuli went to the toilet once, and pregnant women are like this, always going to the toilet. It can't be her, she has a very good personality, and she is still pregnant, how can I catch Xiao Fang? And her family has a lot of money, how could she kidnap the child for that little money."

Gu Yexi frowned slightly, "She went by herself?"

"No," Bai Yue'er shook her head, "Li Lan accompanied her. He Xiuli has a big belly, so we can't rest assured that she will go by herself."

"Mom." A childish voice sounded.

Gu Yexi turned around and saw a cute little boy in dinosaur pajamas with neat bangs.

"Huanhuan, come here quickly." Bai Yueer waved to Huanhuan, "Come on, tell the police uncle what happened this afternoon."

Huanhuan seemed to be a little shy of strangers, and sat far away from the two of them, pulling the little fur ball on his clothes with both hands uneasily, "Let's go to the park after school to play, Xiaoqing suggested playing hide-and-seek, and Xiaodie was in charge of catching. After the game started, I would hide Woke up and haven't seen anyone else."

"Where are you hiding?"

"Hide, hide in the flowers."

"Did Xiaodie find you?"

"No."

"Where did you meet at the end of the game?"

Huanhuan paused for a while, then said, "I don't remember."

"Can not remember?"

Bai Yue'er pulled her son to sit closer, lowered her head and asked, "Why don't you remember? Isn't it just a matter of a while?"

"It seems, it seems to be near the toilet." Wu Huanhuan hesitated.

"Huanhuan," Gu Yexi asked softly, "When the game started, did you notice which direction Xiao Fang was going?"

"I do not know."

"You are at the same table, you have such a good relationship, you must know where he usually likes to hide?"

"I, I don't know."

Bai Yue'er encouraged the child, "Huanhuan, don't be nervous, just say what you know, think about how sad Xiaofang is in the hands of the bad guys, we have to help him, right?"

Huanhuan seemed to be about to cry, and stared at her mother with wide eyes, "I really don't know."

Gu Yexi scratched her head helplessly, "Okay, let's stop here first. By the way, can I borrow your bathroom?"

"Oh, it's just around the corner."

"Thank you."

Gu Yexi slipped into the bathroom and looked through the laundry basket, which was empty.Not long after the washing machine next to it started to wash clothes, the clothes inside were tumbling, and the machine made a low sound.

"It's laundry time." Gu Yexi whispered.

"Gu," Mo Wang suddenly appeared by the door, "Jade is calling."

"how?"

Mo Wang lowered his voice, "There are discoveries in the park."

Not long ago, human blood was found in the back hill of the park, and a Xiaofang school badge was found nearby, which also contained blood. After preliminary inspection, there was a high probability that it belonged to Xiaofang.

"It's quite a distance from the place where you play hide-and-seek with the children, right?" Gu Yexi asked.

A Lai nodded, "They said that they played in the place between the fish pond and the flower bed. However, it is not ruled out that Xiao Fang deliberately hid here so as not to be found; or was brought here by the prisoner of."

Mo Wang circled around the bloodstain, "The bloodstain was intentionally covered by dead leaves before, but the cover was very rough. I didn't find that the school card fell off during the process of taking Xiao Fang away. It seems that the prisoner was in a hurry. It is likely that only A prisoner."

Gu Yexi: "Are there any witnesses?"

A Lai: "We haven't found it yet. We have spread the news to find people who are nearby this afternoon. But according to the park ranger, very few people will come to the back mountain."

Gu Yexi frowned, "Why do you want to hurt people?"

A Lai: "Xiao Fang resisted, the prisoner tried to subdue him..."

Gu Yexi: "It's just a child with no strength to restrain a chicken. Even if it is to be subdued, it is enough to cover his mouth and tie it up. As for seeing blood? If it is not done well, people will be killed Die. And the child is injured and in pain, maybe he yells even more, and it is even more difficult to take away."

Mo Wang: "Maybe it was an accident. The prisoner was just trying to scare him, but Xiao Fang overreacted and got injured in an accident. That's why the prisoner hastily covered up his traces and took him away."

Gu Yexi: "Well, it's possible. At present, we don't know where Xiaofang is hurt and how he is hurt. We don't know if he has been treated. It seems that he must be found quickly."

A Lai opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, with a look of hesitation.

Gu Yexi glanced at him, "Say."

A Lai: "The prisoner may secretly take Xiao Fang for treatment. Do you want to contact the major hospitals and clinics and pay attention?"

Gu Yexi nodded: "Well, you should find someone to contact you."

A Lai seemed very happy to be recognized, and said with a smile, "I'll go right away!"

Gu Yexi leaned against the tree trunk, felt in his pockets all over, and found that there was no cigarette, so he took out the lighter and started playing.The fire flickered on and off, like a devout mother divination, whether the child will live or die?

Mo Wang turned his body slightly to shield Gu Yexi from the cool night wind, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

"When I was talking to the three children just now, it was obvious that the statements of the three of them changed from inconsistent to highly consistent. When asked to describe what happened in the afternoon, they not only said the same content, but also used words and sentences. The sequence is the same."

"Well, and some questions that were beyond their expectations, they were vaguely confused, or they didn't know. It seems that they should have contacted us before we went, and unified the explanations given to us. But why should Do you want to do this? Could it be that Xiaofang’s kidnapping is really related to the three of them? Children don’t have a clear concept of money, so they only asked for 10 yuan?”

Gu Yexi shook his head, "If the three children had planned to do this in advance, there would not be such obvious contradictions in what they told us at the beginning."

"Perhaps, when the kidnappers arrested Xiao Fang, other children saw him. He couldn't take the four children away alone, so he threatened them not to speak out, or he would hurt them. The children were forced to lie. At first I haven't made up the lie yet, so there is a mess. After going home, everyone discussed it and unified the story."

"Maybe." Gu Yexi put the lighter back into his pocket, "But I still have something to think about."

"What is it?"

"Uniforms."

"School uniform?" Mo Wang was puzzled.

Gu Yexi took a deep breath, "Did you notice that the three of them didn't wear school uniforms. It's reasonable for Huanhuan to take a shower and not wear them, but Xiaoqing and Xiaodie changed into clean clothes, smelling of sweat. Why? It was because the school uniform was stained with something. Judging from the current situation, I guess it was Xiaofang's blood. I asked Alai just now, and he said that when the three children were talking with them, they were all wrapped in tight coats, and they could hardly be seen. The school uniform inside. It’s sunny today and it’s over 20 degrees. If the children go to play, they probably don’t want to wear a coat, so it should be to cover the blood on the school uniform.”

Mo Wang's heart tightened when he heard this, "What kind of injury is it that can stain the clothes of three people with blood? And why didn't they say it? Just because they are afraid of the kidnappers?"

Gu Yexi didn't answer, and looked over Mo Wang's shoulder to the distance.

"Captain Gu! New evidence has been found." Ah Lai shouted from afar and rushed over.He spread out his hand, and in his hand was a small clip that he knew at a glance to be used by a little girl.The clip is in the shape of a bow, with white polka dots on a red background, very cute.But it's broken and can't be opened.

Gu Yexi picked it up carefully, "Where did you find it?"

"About 100 meters away from the bloodstain, it was buried in the soil."

"It looks like it's been buried for a while?"

"Well, no blood was found on it, but I think it might be Xiaodie's. When I saw her today, she wore a similar style."

Gu Yexi stared at the clip for a while, rolled his eyes, and pulled Mo Wang away from the back mountain, "Go, I suddenly have an idea."
