Dad Academy

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

"Take us there."

"Take us~"

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

Xiaobai and the other two watched them leave eagerly, but they could only be locked in the big iron door. They really wanted to sing a song "Tears Behind the Iron Window".

It was not until Xiaomi and the other two disappeared that the three of them came out of their acting state. Lao Li also retracted his gaze and continued to read his newspaper, pretending that he didn't notice them at all.

But he was still noticed by the three little ones. He heard the three of them approaching him.

Xiaobai leaned over and asked: "Li Baibai, who do you think took Ah Zhong away?"

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

Xiaobai said: "What's wrong with Ah Zhong? Why didn't he go home? Did he have a quarrel with his parents?"

Old Li said: "It's possible, but he can't run away from home even if they quarrel. He's still such a young child."

Xier agreed: "It's not safe. Children are in danger."

Seeing this, Xiao Xiaobai had to say a few words to show his presence, even though he had nothing to say in his stomach, so he said: "Oh, Mi Doufu, I hope Ah Zhong is fine."

Hearing this, Xier hurriedly took out the baby Buddha on his neck and prayed for the baby Buddha to bless Ah Zhong.

The three gathered in the yard to discuss where Ah Zhong went. Suddenly, a voice came from the door of the yard.

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

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

He stood up and walked over, saying, "This is it, are you guys okay?"

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

It turned out that the two were Lu Zhong's parents. They heard that Lu Zhong had come to Xiaohongma Academy last night, so they hurried over to check the situation.

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

Both of them looked bad, especially Lu Zhong's mother, whose eyes were red, and she looked like she had cried, and she didn't sleep well last night.

Old Li told them what Ding Jiamin had just found them, and also told them all the news about Lu Zhong.

After listening to them, the two thanked them again, and then walked towards Huangjia Village, probably to chase Ding Jiamin.

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

Xiao Xiaobai followed suit, also grabbed the iron fence and shook it, shouting to go out.

Old Li said, "Lu Zhong gets lost even in the sixth grade. You are much younger than him. What if he gets lost?"

Xiao Xiaobai didn't care about that. She was just making up the numbers and was still yelling to go out.

Old Li didn't bother to pay attention to them.

On the other side, Ding Jiamin took Xiaomi to Huangjia Village to inquire about Lu Zhong, 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 by them.

"I didn't go home until 9:30 last night, so I definitely didn't see this boy passing by before that." Malanhua said.

After dinner last night, she scolded Bai Jianping, Xiaobai and others, and then came to the shop, and was busy until 9:30 before going home.

Ding Jiamin was asking questions, and Xiaomi was taking notes, with a serious face. After listening to Malanhua's words, she couldn't help asking, "That means you don't know if Lu Zhong came here after 9:30, right?"

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

Xiaomi grinned and tried to smile, and quickly recorded it in her notebook.

Ding Jiamin asked her, "Are there any more questions you want to ask?"

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

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ma, we're leaving." Ding Jiamin thanked Malanhua.

Malanhua sent her out of the store: "You're welcome. This is what we should do. I hope this 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 to discuss the case.

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

Xiaomi thought for a moment and said, "Li Baibai's notebook recorded that Lu Zhong left Xiaohongma at 9:25 and came here, but Aunt Ma closed the store and went home at 9:30. They all said that they didn't see Lu Zhong before this time, so Brother Zhong might be in the area between Xiaohongma 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 shops that we didn't investigate along the way, and then investigate West Chang'an Street."

Xiaomi said, "We can check the surveillance on West Chang'an Street."

"Very good, then which shops did we not investigate just now? Take out the map quickly."

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

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

Ding Jiamin said: "Very good, then we will check again. If it is not open yet, call the boss and ask them to come over."

"Okay!"

Xiaomi was very motivated. The two found the boiled water shop first, but the door was still closed. Ding Jiamin found the shop owner's mobile phone number, dialed it, and asked on the phone, but there was no result.

The second cake shop was the same. The shop owner said that he had not seen Lu Zhong.

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

As soon as the two walked to the door of the shop, 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 child came out, holding a basin of water that had just been wiped with the barber mirror, and poured it at the door. When he looked up, he was startled. Several people were standing on the side of the road looking at him.

"You guys? Eh? Xiaomi?"

"Wan Xiaohu!"

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

Wan Xiaohu was stunned, nodded and said, "At home! I'll go call him."

He felt something was wrong, so he didn't ask too much, but quickly ran back to the shop 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 equivalent to not opening the door. The door was still closed, but it was just a crack open, enough for Wan Xiaohu to go in and out.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the barber shop, and 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, and welcomed them into the shop.

He looked at Lu Zhong's parents in confusion, and didn't know them, but he knew Xiaomi very well.

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

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

He was about to speak, and Wan Xiaohu, who was listening, exclaimed: "Brother Zhong? He is at my house! Brother Zhong——"

He shouted towards the stairs, and soon footsteps came, sounding like he 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 his mother was about to get angry, but she immediately held back and her eyes were red.

Thank you for the 10,000 coins reward from Qiang Ni Lollipop, and thank you for the reward to Xiaomi.
