The Plow

It's getting late.

Mrs. Sun came in a rickshaw, but it was impossible for Ling Shu to ride in the same car with her, so he could only speed up and listen to her quickly explain the ins and outs.

Widow Sun’s child’s surname is Lu, Lu Zude. He went to school as usual today. He was supposed to be back home in the evening. Playful, so as not to show up at dinner time, Mrs. Sun went out to look for him. The teacher at the school said he had left long ago. Mrs. Sun went home again, but she didn't wait for the child to come back. Missed during this section of the road on the way to school.

Ling Shu said: "Will you go to play with the puppy? I heard from my brother-in-law that he knew your child because of a little yellow dog."

Sun said: "He is usually playful, but he has never been home so late. Before going out today, I told him that I made his favorite shrimp for dinner. He must not forget to go home for dinner. "

Ling Shu recalled that the child he saw during the day was about eight or nine years old, smart, quick-witted, quick-responsive, and not like a slow-witted child. If the situation is as Sun said, the child probably encountered some accident up.

Anything can happen these days. Regardless of the glamor and beauty of this city, there are turbulent tides inside. There are troubled heroes like Mr. Lu and Jiang He, as well as opportunists like Shen Shiqi and Mr. Cheng who fish in troubled waters. It can be seen everywhere, especially those little boys and girls with delicate skin and tender flesh, who are the first choice for human traffickers.

Lu Zude didn't come home for a long time, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Sun was worried that if something went wrong with this child, for a widow, it would be tantamount to the sky falling.

Mrs. Sun talked a lot.

First, he blamed himself for not letting the child leave school alone, and should have asked the maid to pick him up, and then started asking Ling Shu.

"Mr. Ling, I heard from Mr. Zhou that you have cracked many cases. Among them is the Yuan Mansion murder that was very sensational a while ago. Is it true?"

In other places, when asked by a beautiful woman like Yaqi, he would be very interested in telling her a long story.

But Ling Shu has no intention of showing off at the moment, and just casually said: "That's all written in the newspapers."

"How can it be! I also read the newspapers at that time, saying that you were commended for this, and you were hailed as the number one detective in the East."

Sun did not stop praising him.

Ling Shu also knew that the so-called number one detective in the East was a gimmick created by some tabloids to deliberately exaggerate the case in order to gain attention.

"Does Mrs. Sun also have the habit of reading newspapers?"

Sun: "I don't know a few words. I learned it when I listened to newspapers being read."

The two talked to each other, Ling Shu was mostly perfunctory, but Sun didn't seem to notice it, and kept trying to find something to talk to Ling Shu.

Maybe it's because he's too nervous and worried, and needs to be distracted. Ling Shu knows that the more nervous some people are, the more they talk.

But he and Sun have just known each other for a short time, so there is really no friendship, and this is too shallow.

Fang Lingshu, the patrolman in the concession, can't speak, but Yue Dingtang can.

After Ling Shu accompanied Mrs. Sun to arrive, he asked someone for a phone number and called the Yue mansion, asking Yue Dingtang to come forward to find Smith, and through Smith's relationship, he finally got the foreign patrol to face up to the matter and began to record a statement. Send someone out to find the child.

Mrs. Sun insisted on not going back to rest, and insisted on waiting for news in the patrol room. For Smith's sake, she was not driven away, so Sun was allowed to sit on the stool near the door of the patrol room.

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes and her arms were shaking, Ling Shu advised her to go back and rest.

Sun suddenly got up again and knelt down towards Ling Shu.

"Officer Ling, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I might not even be able to enter the door of the patrol room today!"

Ling Shu had a terrible headache for her habit of kneeling down and crying and complaining at every turn. Seeing that she couldn't help her, he had to reach out to help her.

At this time Yue Dingtang came.

Behind him was a woman who was holding a child in her hand.

Ling Shu recognized them.

The woman is the maid of the Sun family, and she met him when she opened the door for him during the day.

The child is the rightful master Lu Zude that everyone has been looking for most of the night.

"Mrs!"

The maid screamed when she saw Mrs. Sun.

"Why did you come here! The young master has been found, let's go back!"

Lu Zude looked panic-stricken, probably frightened by the adults' reactions.

Turning around and seeing her son, Sun rushed over without saying a word, and hugged him tightly in her arms.

"Brother De, you are back!"

She cried and laughed.

"Where did you go, do you know that my mother is very worried about you?!"

"I, I went to chase the puppy and got lost."

Lu Zude raised his head and looked around at the crowd, hesitating, afraid to bow his head, as if he was afraid that his mother would blame him.

Seeing this, Ling Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did you find them?" he asked Yue Dingtang.

Yue Dingtang said: "After I received your call, I went to Sun's house to have a look. Just in front of his house, I ran into a maid bringing Lu Zude back. He heard that Mrs. Sun was looking for him everywhere and even went to the police station to report the crime. Let me bring him here."

Mrs. Sun hugged Lu Zude tightly, as if she was telling her son about her nervousness, but her back was facing the people, Ling Shu couldn't hear clearly, only saw Lu Zude looked at them timidly, stretched out his hand to pat his mother the spine.

"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry. I won't dare again in the future."

Yue Dingtang said: "It's getting late, it's not safe for you to go back now, why don't you stay in the patrol room for one night and go back tomorrow."

Sun was a little moved, but the maid reminded her: "Madam, tomorrow the old lady from the countryside said she would come to visit the young master, have you forgotten?"

"That's right, look at my memory!" Sun's face changed slightly, then he smiled wryly, and blessed Yue Dingtang and Lingshu again. "Thank you two officers, thanks to you tonight, I am really grateful, please forgive me for leaving first, and I will give you a big gift in the future to thank you!"

Yue Dingtang said: "You orphans and widowed mothers live, it is easy to cause trouble, my driver will follow you tonight, guarding outside Sun's house, if you need help with anything, just call him, and wait for you tomorrow The elders are here, there are many people in the family, I will let him come back again."

It was rare for Ling Shu to see Yue Dingtang so enthusiastic, it was like seeing the sun and the moon rise at the same time.

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Sun took Lu Zude and left in a rickshaw, while the maid followed.

"What do you see me doing?"

Yue Dingtang looked away and found Ling Shu's eyes.

Ling Shu: "I'm looking to see if you are a ghost?"

Yue Dingtang stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

Ling Shu was caught off guard by a hard pinch on his cheek, he jumped away quickly with two hey sounds, and looked around again.

Nobody noticed, no shame.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

Yue Dingtang: "I take back what I said before."

Ling Shu:?

Yue Dingtang: "The Sun family is a bit weird."

"You finally found out, don't you say I'm suspicious?"

After Ling Shu finished speaking triumphantly, he realized later, "No, then why did you pinch me just now?"

Itchy hands.

Yue Ding Tang thought in his heart, but the exit was changed to another sentence.

"On the way here just now, Lu Zude took advantage of the maid's inattention and told me that Mrs. Sun was not his biological mother. Mrs. Sun treated him badly and wanted to harm him. I think you were right when you said Mrs. Sun was weird. of."

Euphemistically admitted that his previous evaluation of Ling Shu was a bit arbitrary.

Unexpectedly, Ling Shu didn't feel complacent, but let out a surprise instead.

"Coincidentally, I also received a distress message here."

Yue Dingtang: "Lu Zude?"

"No, it's Mrs. Sun."

He took out a note from his pocket, with two words written crookedly on it.

help me.

The two looked at each other, and both realized that the matter was not simple.

Originally thought it was a family farce where brother-in-law Zhou broke up with the little widow outside, but later it became a small case of helping to find the child, and now it has become a drama of mother and son telling each other.

Ling Shu: "When Mrs. Sun knelt down for me just now, she took the opportunity to stuff this thing into my hand. Lu Zude said that Mrs. Sun was not his own mother and wanted to harm her. Mrs. Sun asked me to save her. Maybe Mrs. Sun had expected it a long time ago. Will Lu Zude tell you this?"

Yue Dingtang: "It's unlikely."

Ling Shu: "If Mrs. Sun really has any ulterior secrets, she should try her best to suppress the matter and make it a trivial matter, instead of taking the initiative to come to the door and asking us to help find someone. It’s right that things are getting worse. And this woman is not simple. She could have refused my visit at the beginning, but let me in again. I found that the furnishings in the house were incompatible with her, and I became suspicious and interested. On the way to the patrol room tonight , she also mentioned the case of the Yuan Mansion, now it seems that it is a bit deliberate."

Yue Dingtang: "Deliberately reminding you, secretly asking for help?"

Ling Shu nodded.

"But I didn't expect Lu Zude to ask you for help. Which of these two people is telling the truth? Who should we believe?"

Generally speaking, children are weak and harmless, and they will definitely tend to trust children.

If Sun hadn't deliberately lured Ling Shu to dig out all kinds of doubts, Ling Shu would have chosen to believe in Lu Zude.

But now he's not so sure.

"If what Lu Zude said is true, then Mrs. Sun may be a pedophile who specializes in human trafficking. I asked the driver to watch outside just in case. In case Sun's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and does something to Lu Zude, he is there , nothing will happen tonight."

Ling Shu shrugged: "I have no objection, but have you ever thought about it, if Mrs. Sun is the one who needs to be rescued? Women like her are also one of the easy targets. Then who will be persecuted?" Her person? That maid? I think it looks quite similar, that maid's attitude towards Sun is not very respectful, not like treating the mistress of the family."

Yue Dingtang said: "Tomorrow we will pay a visit to see if we can dig out any clues."

Ling Shu yawned, muttering and complaining.

"It's okay. It's been a rough day. You didn't see my sister's face. My brother-in-law just coaxed me back a little bit, and Mrs. Sun came to the door, and her face immediately returned to before the storm. I don't know if I will go back now." The fish in the pond will not be harmed."

Yue Dingtang saw that his hair was not combed well, and the two dull hairs were fluttering in the wind, so he stretched out his hand to smooth it out.

"Go to sleep with me."

"No, I have to go back and tell them that the child is fine, otherwise my brother-in-law's good-natured nature will definitely be worried. This matter is strange, and I just told him not to interfere."

His eyes could hardly be opened, like a sleepy lazy cat, walking out step by step.

Yue Dingtang shook his head, afraid that he would fall if he didn't look at the road, so he had to follow behind.
