love story

Time passed quickly, and a week of mobile medical treatment in Li Village was successfully concluded.During this time, the medical staff mingled with the people in the village.Although the time was not too long, in just one week, they seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time.

So at this moment, when everyone was about to leave, they all felt a little bit reluctant to leave.

Before they got on the bus, Cheng Yan stood beside Tang Jianhui, looking at the sky, and said, "After today, I don't know when I will be able to come back. Not working in the city, maybe I will come back here and continue to serve the people in the village."

Tang Jianhui said: "Although there are memories of our childhood here, I still like the city in comparison."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Cheng Yan, and then said: "Okay, let's go, we will go back now."

Seeing his tall back disappearing into the bus, Cheng Yan also walked over.He glanced back at the group of children who came to see them off again, and shouted to them: "I will come back to see you again! Goodbye!"

the other side. .

After Lin Xin got the clue of the jigsaw picture, she searched for the receipt and found a few shops selling jigsaw puzzles produced by "Cheng Song". trace.

As the days passed, the chances of finding the murderer seemed less and less.As time goes by, the clues and traces left behind will become more and more blurred, or even disappear.

So, she couldn't delay any longer.

She called Meihua and Yangcong to her side, and said, "Meihua, these receipts are stores selling 'Chengsong' jigsaw puzzles. We will go back and check later. Onion, there are still some shops in Yangshi that we have no time to go to." , please discuss it with Xiaojie and Sakura, and check again. However, this time we narrowed down the scope, because the murderer seems to like the puzzles produced by 'Masomatsu'. So as long as there is a store that sells this puzzle , you should check carefully."

After receiving the order, Yang Cong went to make arrangements.

Lin Xin and Meihua went through the stores in Yangshi according to the documents. They asked the store one by one and even asked the store to check the latest CCTV records to see if there was anything suspicious, but they often returned disappointed.

According to the closed-circuit television of the searched merchants, in the last month, the people who came to the store to buy puzzles were all families. Sometimes parents brought their children to buy, and sometimes it was a couple of a man and a woman who came to buy. This homicide has nothing to do with it.

As for the picture of only one child buying the puzzle alone, it was not shown in the recent CCTV records.

Lin Xin had the last receipt left in her hand, she said to Mei Hua, "Let's take a gamble, maybe this last family can find something."

Mei Hua nodded, and the two went to the designated store according to the address on the receipt.

Compared with others, this store is relatively simple in construction, and the jigsaw puzzle is sold by an old man in his 60s.Lin Xin walked up to the old man, revealed her police identity, and asked, "Hello, old man, we are from the Federal Police Station in Yangshi. We would like to ask if there is a policeman between the ages of six and nine here recently?" What about the children who come to buy puzzles alone?"

The old uncle looked at the two of them and said, "A police officer also came to our place to inquire about that day. However, there are many customers here every day. There are some children who come here, but I haven't seen them alone. Even if Seeing it, how do I know which one you are talking about?"

Lin Xin continued to ask: "Old man, do you have CCTV here?"

The old man said: "There are no closed-circuit TVs or anything. Our store is considered an old one. My wife and I are just running a small business here, and we don't install closed-circuit TVs or anything."

When Lin Xin heard what he said, she showed disappointment on her face, and she said, "Okay, that's all right, I wasted your time, thank you."

Just as Lin Xin stepped out of the store, an old woman in the store shouted loudly: "Old man! What are you talking about! When you were away that day, a child came to buy it!"

The old man's voice also shouted: "Ouch! How would I know if you didn't tell me?!"

Lin Xin stopped immediately. She rushed into the store and asked the old man and his wife, "Are there any children here?"

The old woman said: "Of course I did. It was so late that day, the old man went out to play mahjong with others, and when I was about to close, a little boy happened to come over."

Hearing what she said, Lin Xin immediately took out a photo from her pocket, which was the photo she printed out after going through the mosaic, and she asked, "Auntie, did the child you mentioned wear this dress that day?" ?”

When Lin Xin asked this sentence, her voice trembled a little.

Although she had used a computer to create a mosaic beforehand, the old woman was still taken aback when she saw this photo.

The old woman patted her chest. She carefully looked at the clothes of the child's corpse in the photo, and said, "That's right, the child was wearing these clothes at that time."

After hearing this, Lin Xin took out the photo of the second child corpse from her pocket and asked, "So, what about this one? Have you seen this one?"

The old woman tilted her head and glanced, and said: "I haven't seen this before, I don't know if the old man has seen it."

As she spoke, she opened her throat and shouted, "Old man, come here!"

The old uncle answered from a distance, walked up to them, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The old woman patted him and said, "Come and see, have you seen this child?"

When the old uncle looked at the photo, he said, "Is this kid? I haven't seen it before, and I can't remember the clothes..."

Before he finished speaking, the old woman pushed him and said, "You don't know anything."

The old man was about to speak, but the old woman ignored him, and said to Lin Xin and Mei Hua, "He won't remember these clothes, he's not as careful as us women."

Lin Xin smiled and said, "Okay, then we know. However, we would like to ask if the child did anything suspicious when he came to buy the puzzle?"

The old woman thought for a while, and said: "That's not true. However, this child is a little thin, and he can't speak very well. When I asked about his parents, he just shook his head and didn't say anything. But, The child is amazing, and he gave the correct amount when paying."

Lin Xin said: "Maybe someone instigated the kid behind him. By the way, is he the only one here?"

The old woman said: "It looks like a person came here. I asked him later if he wanted to sit in the room, and he shook his head. Moreover, he didn't say much throughout the whole process, just shaking his head or nodding. Then, I remember I looked around, but I didn't see any adults nearby. It seems that he really came here alone."

Lin Xin asked again: "When did he come to buy puzzles?"

The old woman thought for a while and said, "The first three days or the first four days of National Day should be the same."

Lin Xin said: "Okay, then we understand, thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, she and Mei Hua returned to the car.

Lin Xin buckled up her seat belt and said, "The first child who was discovered did come to this store to buy a puzzle. However, according to the local police, they didn't see any puzzles in the Wangcun Riverside." , the murderer must have hidden the whole picture."

Plum Blossom said: "Sister Lin, this is rewarding. But, just now they said they had never seen No.2 child, so did the murderer go to another house?"

Lin Xin let out a "huh" and said, "The murderer most likely went to another store to buy the puzzles. Moreover, if they all bought them at the same store, it would be easy to expose his whereabouts. The murderer is very delicate and smart. , would never send a child to the same store to buy a puzzle."

Lin Xin turned on the engine. It was almost dusk at this time. She looked around and saw that this place was also some distance away from the urban area.She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Plum Blossom, can you check on your mobile phone for me, how far is it from here to the riverside of Wangcun?"

After hearing what she said, Mei Hua immediately took out her mobile phone from her pocket to check it. She said, "It's only fifteen kilometers away from here."

Lin Xin said: "It's very close. That is to say, after the murderer asked the child to buy a puzzle, he took it directly to the Wangcun River, and then killed him in a very short period of time. It means that he only gave a child three to four Jigsaw puzzle in a day's time, and then kill it. Huh, this guy is like a devil, deliberately embarrassing a child. If the child can't complete it in a short time, maybe he will be abused."

Mei Hua said angrily: "If the murderer is really caught, I really want to cut him into pieces!"

Lin Xin said: "Let's talk about it after we catch the murderer. We'll go back right away. I don't know if there is any news from Onion... By the way, since the child really appeared in the store, I think we must let the merchants in Yangshi pay attention. For a moment, if any children appear alone, let them notify the police, and I will also inform the police officer Chen of the local police station later, and ask him to send more police officers to guard."

Plum Blossom said, "Well, what Sister Lin said is true."

After discussing for a while, the two drove away.

The wind was blowing slowly at night, and a seven or eight-year-old child was walking on the quiet street. He happily bought a puzzle.He remembered that the man said to him not long ago: "Come on, let's play a jigsaw puzzle. If you win, I will take you to the playground to play, and I will take you to eat ice cream. Anything you want, I will do it." Here you go. But if you lose, then... I have no choice but to bring you back to your parents and never come to the city again, okay?"

The child thought that no matter whether he wins or loses, he doesn't seem to suffer, so he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, okay!"

Then, the man gave him money, and took out a picture of a jigsaw puzzle, reminded himself of the pattern in the picture, and told himself to go to a nearby store to buy a jigsaw puzzle of this pattern.He just thought it would be great fun to go out to the city this time, and if he went back to the place where he lived before, he could still show it off to his friends there.

When the child thought of this, a black figure came out from the darkness. The child saw the black figure, ran over immediately, and asked, "Does what you just said still count?"

The man touched the child's head and said with a smile: "Of course it counts. But, have you remembered what I taught you just now?"

The child proudly said: "Of course I remember! The uncles and aunts in the store are very kind to me. They kept asking where my parents are, but I just shook my head and didn't speak! Then, they asked me if I was accompanied by adults. I won't say anything."

The man took the child to a dark corner, knelt down and asked, "Do you want me to be your father?"

The child looked at his gentle face and said, "I think... But, I already have a father."

The man smiled and said, "Then I'll be your godfather. You have a father here, and you also have a father where you originally lived, isn't it good?"

The child thought for a while, and said: "It seems to be good. But... the person who brought me here yesterday and left me in the restaurant was very bad to me. That person kept beating me, scolding me, and biting me, and I also bit that person. Then the person said he was going to the bathroom, but he didn't come back, and then I met you."

"Then we won't see that person again in the future, okay?"

The child smiled and said, "Okay! Okay!"

The man raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Good boy."
