sunk in yesterday

Chapter 67: A Gift to the Master

When a few people arrived at the mayor's house by car, there was a couple sitting in the room besides the mayor himself. Xia Zhuo guessed that this might be the Yu family couple that the driver mentioned just now.

Old Yu was holding a pipe in his mouth, his face was haggard with unshaven stubble, and when he saw someone entering the door without lifting his head, he just puffed out smoke rings one after another, but Madam Yu grabbed Guan Yuzhou's clothes and screamed as soon as he came up Let them find their daughter back.

"My daughter is only in her teens this year! She's only in junior high school!" Madam Yu cried until tears flowed down her cheeks. "With so many of you, you still can't protect a single child? A living person disappeared right in front of your eyes. None of you Can't you see it!"

Xia Zhuo was shocked by her unreasonable troubles: "Why is it under your nose, we were not here yesterday, you have to find fault with those people you saw yesterday, don't you beeping with us?"

Guan Yuzhou took a few steps back, pulled Xia Zhuo behind him, and said in a low voice, "There's no need to reason with them."

It doesn't make sense, these aborigines just act according to the progress of the plot, and they don't remember who is to whom at all.

The more Mrs. Yu talked, the more excited she was, she took out the photos from her pocket with trembling hands, and showed them her daughter one by one, saying that her academic performance has always been very good, and she will go to the city to take the exam and do important things in the future. These outsiders lost her daughter, if they can't find it, how can they compensate her.

She chased after her like crazy, "Did you take her away? You are actually the traffickers!"

"That's enough! Stop arguing!" Lao Yu interrupted her loudly, took another sip of his cigarette butt, turned his face and took a deep look at several people, "I'll take you to the house to have a look."

It is best to go to the scene to see the situation, and they will naturally follow.

Xia Zhuo just turned his heels, but was caught off guard by Guan Yuzhou who grabbed his arm and pulled it to the side. The cold blue light of the sharp knife brushed against the hem of his clothes, and the hand holding the knife handle trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the knife was kicked out by Guan Yuzhou, hit the door and fell to the ground, making a series of not small movements.

"What are you doing!" Lao Yu was also startled, and quickly clamped his wife, "Calm down! They are here to help!"

It was also the first time for Mrs. Yu to do this kind of thing. The anger that climbed to the top for a moment gradually turned into helplessness after losing. I only have her as a child, she is the only one... She is also your child, why don't you worry..."

The mayor waved tiredly at Lao Yu, "Take them there, I'm here to comfort her."

Xia Zhuo was speechless. If Guan Yuzhou hadn't reacted quickly, the knife might have been inserted into his body by this time.

He always thought that the favorability of the aborigines would only affect the difficulty of obtaining clues, but only now did he realize that it was also life-threatening.

Lao Yu walked in front of them and led the way, with his hands behind his back and heaved a long sigh, "Everyone is in a hurry now, I thought that there would be no more accidents when the road was closed, but it turned out that the road was closed, but it seemed to lock us up It's..."

Guan Yuzhou frowned, and asked Xia Zhuo if he was injured anywhere.

Xia Zhuo shook his head first, and said that his foot seemed to be sprained at that moment, so if he didn't delay walking, maybe he would sprain back after walking more.

Guan Yuzhou took out the painkiller silently and handed it over.

Xia Zhuo felt that this was too much of a fuss, why did he give him medicine for everything?

When he complained in his heart, he stretched out his hand consciously, instead of taking the medicine, he hooked Guan Yuzhou's fingertips, and hopped up and down on his back, without the consciousness that he was almost stabbed.

The aborigine Lao Yu in front was still shaking his head: "When you came here yesterday, you said that you should stay behind closed doors and come out for activities after this matter is over. I don't know what everyone thinks, but our family discussed it last night. After that, I thought this method was very good, so I pretended that I didn't show up for a day, but I didn't expect that the child was still lost overnight."

"Found it this morning?"

"Yes, we have to urge her to read at home after the school is closed. We will wake her up at [-] o'clock in the morning. The child's mother knocked on the door twice this morning, but no one answered for a long time. The door was locked. Isn't this the door? After the collision, it was discovered that the person did not know where to go.”

Lao Yu took out the key from his pocket, and Xia Zhuo noticed that there were three anti-theft doors in total. The entrance was facing the small altar with the Bodhisattva statue, and the incense in the stove had been extinguished. Xiang continued to worship.

The house has three floors. Although it occupies a small area, the total square footage is quite considerable.There was nothing to see in the rest of the house, so Guan Yuzhou hit the point straight and asked Lao Yu to take them directly to the children's room.

It was introduced that his child’s name is Yu Yajing, who is the Disciplinary Committee of Class 1 ([-]) of No. [-] Middle School. She is very good at school and at home. Her test scores are the first and second in class. When the supporting teacher came, she said that she was the most promising Students who go to the city for the test.

The room is in the attic at the top, with good lighting, and it is quiet for reading. There is also a big balcony outside the attic. Yu Yajing likes to stay in the room very much, but as she grows older, she has developed the habit of locking door habit.

The home was inspected this morning and there were no signs of intrusion.In addition, the door was locked from the inside, so he and his wife finally deduced that someone had slipped into the room through the window at night.

Xia Zhuo leaned on the window and looked down. No matter how you go down from here, you have to be more than five meters high. "No way, you can go to the third floor by turning the window? This must have a leg length of [-] meters."

Guan Yuzhou asked: "The balcony door is also locked?"

Lao Yu said, "It's also locked, only the window is open."

"Old man, you have to change your mind. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone else came to your house to steal your child. I think your child is more likely to jump out of the window in the middle of the night." Xia Zhuo pointed at the ground under the window , "The obvious series of footprints are still there, and there are handprints next to the nearest landing point. Isn't it because I fell down after going down?"

Lao Yu shook his head as soon as he heard it: "Impossible, impossible, impossible."

That's right, no matter how courageous a child is, it's impossible for such a small child to jump off the third floor. There are so many ways to sneak out of the house, and he can go through the front door, and every household is advertising safety matters, and someone deliberately tricks him into going to the house. The possibility of jumping down is also greatly reduced.

A few people walked around the house and checked the footprints again. Unfortunately, the footprints disappeared before going far, so they had to go back to the room after going around.

When they said they wanted to investigate in detail, Lao Yu was still a little hesitant, and the naked "unreliable" in his eyes was on the table, and he hesitated for a few minutes before he compromised.

"Usually, does she have any good friends?"

"She gets along well with everyone in the class."

"Before she entered the room yesterday, did she have any abnormalities?"

Lao Yu pondered for a long time: "It's nothing unusual, it's the same as usual."

Guan Yuzhou couldn't ask anything, so he squatted down and swept under the bed with a flashlight.

At first glance, there was nothing under the bed, but there was a small group of red and white shadows in the corner of the wall behind the bedpost. He found a clothes rail and picked it out, and found that it was a tattered fox puppet, like After being gnawed by mice, many cotton wools came out along the cracks, and one eye was missing from the black button on the face, and it was so dirty that I didn't know how long it had been lying under the bed.

Lao Yu's eyes changed: "This... I have never seen this toy before, and I have never bought this thing for Ya Jing."

Guan Yuzhou frowned looking at the puppet, "Does she usually have the habit of writing a diary?"

"Yes, but she didn't show it to us, and she didn't know where to put it..." Lao Yu hesitated for a while, "You can look for it, as long as you can find Yajing, even if you search my house."

The places where children hide things are actually easy to find. They think they are perfect, but in fact it is not difficult.

If she is not in the room, then the balcony she usually touches the most is the best hiding place. It just so happens that there is a flower stand against the wall on the balcony, and Guan Yuzhou took out a small book from between two stacked flower pots without turning over out.

Xia Zhuo was still fiddling with the puppet in his hand, no matter how you looked at it, it looked so awkward. When Guan Yuzhou was reading the diary, he found needles and threads from the children's handmade box in the drawer, and sewed up its stomach crookedly.

It's a pity that he really didn't know where to find the button that fell off the eye. He searched around the ground and couldn't find it, so he had to wrap a ball of thread and put it on.

He held up the puppet's arm, and said to Tan Nian, "Look, isn't it much better?"

Tan Nian was very kind and acted as a professional supporter for him, "Mr. Xia is really skillful."

Xia Zhuo was even more proud, and held it in front of Guan Yuzhou and dangled it around again, "Look at Guan Yuzhou!"

The little fox landed on the paper, covering up the handwriting that was obviously a child.Guan Yuzhou paused with his fingertips and raised his head.He looked at the smiling person in front of him against the light, and seemed to be in a trance for a moment, with a little nostalgia in his eyes, and soon he lowered his eyelashes and laughed, "Well, it's amazing."

"That's it~" Xia Zhuo sat down beside him, "Did you find anything?"

Guan Yuzhou gently moved the puppet away, and stretched out his finger to show him, "These two pages."

[01/09/03? Monday

Before class, many people surrounded sister Qiu and asked him what he brought to school today.

Sister Qiu said there were two kinds, a mechanical mouse and a plastic pistol.

That's something boys like, I don't like it, and I don't want to play with him today.

I told him after school, if you want to be friends with me, bring me cute ones. 】

Xia Zhuo turned a page backwards.

[01/09/04? Tuesday

After sister Qiu arrived at school, I asked him if he remembered what I said yesterday.

He said remember, gave me a little fox, and gave Feng Wenyao a basketball.

But I want his white rabbit.

The little fox was given to me, but I still don't want to play with him.

I told him, take the white rabbit for me, and I will be his friend. 】

Xia Zhuo turned back again.

【01/09/05? Wednesday

He really let me down, he still won't give me the white rabbit.

But the fox has already been brought home, and even though it is not cute at all, I will not return it to him.

So stingy, no wonder no one wants to be friends with him.

I will never talk to him again! 】

Seeing this, Xia Zhuo couldn't help applauding: "White prostitutes are not enough, and people who are more than me have finally appeared!"
