Chapter 69: The Scene of the Crime
Before leaving, the chivalrous warrior promised to invite the master of the martial arts alliance to administer justice for everyone.
Meng Qingyuan, the village chief of Yimeng Village, not only cleaned up his eldest son's room, but also waited at the entrance of the village in person every day, for fear that the leader of the martial arts alliance would come and no one would receive him, so he would be displeased. Other villagers also gathered at the entrance of the village to wait. So Shu Yan and his entourage encountered this scene as soon as they arrived in Yimeng Village.
Although the villagers were anxious to know the truth and catch the thief earlier, they still patiently asked Shu Yan and others to rest, Shu Yan categorically refused, saying that they wanted to check the scene of the child's disappearance first.
Originally, Shu Yan was going to arrange for Lin Yue'er and Tang Rao to rest first, and he and Shangguan Jin and others went to check first, but the two of them categorically refused, saying that they would help solve the case.
So the village chief Meng Qingyuan led everyone to his second son Meng Yong's house, not because the village chief was looking for personal gain, but because his grandson Huzi was the first child to be victimized.
After a knock on the door, a young woman with a sad face and a haggard face came out, and when the lady saw so many strange men, she exclaimed, "Father-in-law, they are ......."
Meng Qingyuan immediately stepped forward and introduced: "This is Shu Yan, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, they are here for the children in our village, quickly take the alliance leader to Huzi's room to have a look." ”
When the lady heard this, her eyes immediately turned red and said, "Little woman Meng Tian, please come to the alliance leader, although the little woman." ”
Shu Yan said that there was a lot of work, and then followed Meng Tian's into the child's room, the child's room is the same as his mother's room, probably to facilitate the care of the child at night, there are only simple furniture wardrobes in the room, and some children's toys are scattered on the bed, although the workmanship is superb, but it is also full of warmth, there are a few small clothes at the head of the bed, the new fabric and the fine stitches are freshly sewn.
Meng Tian endured his grief and led everyone into the house, and when he saw the clothes, he couldn't help but shed tears and said: "That's the new clothes that the little woman sewed for the child, I thought I would wear it on the child's birthday next month, but I didn't expect it to ......"
Meng Tianshi covered his mouth and choked up: "The child has been making trouble several times to wear it, but I didn't agree, but now I can't wear it anymore." Woo woo~~~~~"
For a while, the villagers who followed were all red-eyed, obviously thinking of their own children, and even some people were in tears, Tang Rao couldn't help but hate that person more and more, and actually stretched out his claws to the child, which was simply inferior to a pig and a dog.
Lin Yue'er stepped forward and comforted: "This sister-in-law, please mourn, now that you are so sad, the child will be uneasy when he knows it." ”
"Yes, the top priority now is to catch the murderer and give the child justice." Tang Rao echoed.
Meng Tian wiped away his tears and said, "I'm fine, I just can't see the child's things." ”
Shangguan Jin probed in the room for a moment and said, "Dare to ask Mrs. Meng, do the children sleep alone?" ”
Meng Tian replied: "Don't be a lady, it's good for the son to call the little woman Meng Tian." Xianggong is often not at home, and on weekdays, the little woman sleeps with the child, and only returns to sleep in his own room after the child's accident. ”
Lin Yue'er was puzzled: "By the way, what about your father-in-law?" When something so big happened, why didn't you see others? ”
Meng Tian said bitterly: "Since the child's accident, the in-laws have not thought about tea and dinner, and people have lost weight in their eyes. ”
Tang Rao always felt an indescribable weirdness, and even this room felt cold and creepy.
Shangguan Jin grabbed Tang Rao's hand and gave her some true qi, which instantly dispelled the coolness in Tang Rao's heart.
It turned out that he also found out, Tang Rao said in his heart.
"Mrs. Meng, can you elaborate on what happened that day?" Shu Yan looked at Meng Tian and asked slowly.
"Yes, ...... that night"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Mother, this dress is so beautiful, when will Huzi wear it?" The child put down his favorite Trojan horse and grabbed his new clothes.
"Didn't you say it many times? You won't be able to wear it until next month's birthday. The woman snatched the garment from the child's hand and continued to sew.
"But it's going to be a long time coming." The child tilted his head and bit his fingers in distress.
"Isn't it coming next month?" Looking at her son's funny expression, the woman laughed.
"It's going to be a long time coming." The child stared at the new clothes and said aggrievedly, as if he was wearing them now.
The woman comforted, "The tiger eats one egg a day, and when he has eaten eighteen eggs, he can wear new clothes." ”
The child's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
"Really."
The child's eyes rolled several times, and suddenly as if he had thought of some good idea, he clapped his hands and said, "Then I will eat all the eggs tomorrow." ”
“…… Go to bed! The woman slapped the child on the buttocks.
"Oh!"
The child lay down to rest, and the woman sewed the last stitches of the trouser leg by the faint candlelight. lovingly looked at the child's delicate sleeping face, and then looked at the new clothes in his hand. Just wear it if you want. So he put the new clothes next to the child's pillow, blew out the candle, hugged the child and fell asleep.
Sleeping until midnight and suddenly feeling a little cold, this stinky boy kicked the quilt again.
The woman fumbled in the darkness to cover the child, but she found the empty bed beside her. The woman was startled and immediately lit a candle, but found that the child was missing, and she could not be found anywhere, because it was a thief who stole the child, this hateful thief, the woman did not care that it was dark, and immediately went straight to her in-laws' house.
The woman said that the child was lost, and the in-laws were suddenly stunned, and immediately called people to look for the child when they came back to their senses, but the child disappeared as if it could not be found, and the woman was anxious to shed tears, and the mother-in-law scolded her for being useless, and she couldn't even look at her own child, and actually let people steal it in the middle of the night.
The woman knew that her mother-in-law was in a hurry, so she let her scold. But at this time, there was no clue at all, and the anxious woman just wanted to find a rope to hang on.
Meng Qingyuan, who had been looking for a day and a night but had no clue, saw that her daughter-in-law looked wrong, and was afraid that something would happen to her again, so she asked her wife to send her back. The old lady wanted to scold, but when she saw her daughter-in-law's face, she also stopped talking, she didn't want to scold her like that, but she was panicked.
When the woman returned home, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Huzi lying on the bed sleeping peacefully, and she was immediately surprised, and couldn't help but go up and touch the child's face.
Suddenly, the joyful expression on the woman's face froze, and she touched it again and again in disbelief to confirm that her face was cold; hands, cool; feet, cold; The body is also cold.
The woman shook the child's body like crazy and said, "Huzi, Huzi, wake up, wake up, wake up......"
"The new clothes are ready, you can wear them today, hurry up, aren't you going to wear new clothes?"
"Huzi, Huzi—"
The woman's heart-rending cry was heard from afar, and the old lady, who had just sent her daughter-in-law home and was walking back, was startled and hurried back.
When I entered the door, I found that my daughter-in-law was holding the child in a daze, and when I saw her come in, I said in a daze: "Mother-in-law, Huzi is back." ”
The old lady felt that something was wrong, and when she stepped forward to probe the child's snort, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
And so, by the time the little woman found the child, the child was already ......
The woman turned away, covering her mouth and weeping silently.
