Chapter 21 Visits

Yu Niang was the first vendor Lin He met on this snack street. She is not very old, her appearance is still outstanding, and she comes out every day to set up a stall of osmanthus brewing, and she is kind to everyone, and she is very popular with small vendors.

It is also popular with customers.

Whether it is eating meatballs or quails, drinking porridge or soup, everyone is willing to go to Yu Niang's stall, play a bowl of osmanthus stuffing, and drink the sweet silk in one gulp, and the heat will disappear.

Yu Niang's life is not easy, her husband died early, and she took a five-year-old boy to live by pointing to this osmanthus brewing stall every day. Her son's name is Tiger Head, he looks like a tiger head, he is very lovely, and occasionally helps Yu Niang look at the stall, and Lin You often teases him to talk.

Yu Niangzi, who was loved by everyone, disappeared like this, no one knew where she went, and no one knew what happened. Xu En originally avoided a step, and he felt that he couldn't listen much to Lin He's conversation with others, but he felt that the two of them said a few words, and the air around Lin and others was a little colder.

"When?"

"We didn't see anyone this morning, we thought she was resting, who knows, her mother-in-law came to the night market during the evening market, saying that her daughter-in-law has not returned to the stall, and we found out that something is wrong."

That was an accident on the way out of the stall.

"Where's the tiger's head?"

"I said I was out of the stall with my mother, but I didn't see it anymore."

"Little brother thinks, should I report to the official first and let the inspection department investigate?"

Xu En heard the content of their conversation clearly, and said firmly: "This is a mother with a child, and it is a stall, there will inevitably be passers-by to see it, just search carefully, it should not be difficult to find traces." ”

Zhu Da had a bitter face: "I reported it, the inspection has already started to look for it, and there is no one in the entire Jiangling City, and the notice has been posted throughout the city, alas, ......"

Seeing his sad expression, Lin You also sighed secretly. This Zhu Da has taken a fancy to Yu Niang. He could see it before that these two people had already had a relationship, and he knew that the two had partnered with Lin He to do business before.

However, maybe it was because of the tiger's head, or it was estimated that Yu Niang still had a mother-in-law, and the two of them have never been able to take that last step. Now......

"It's useless to just post a notice, let's go, let's go to Yu's mother's house and see if there are any clues."

"Thank you, Master Lin!"

Zhu Da was grateful, because in his opinion, this son who could throw out thirty new dishes casually was different from them, he was a talented person!

Lin He couldn't bear to look at his hopeful eyes anymore, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This kind of case of missing persons, even in modern times, may not be able to solve every case, and more often than not, there is no such person, and it will not be solved.

In case of encountering human traffickers and throwing them in the car, everyone will have already left Jinghu Road. It's not bad, but if you save your life, you really ran into an outlaw who robbed money, and the corpse didn't know where to rot.

Both of them were in a heavy mood, and only Xu En was still asking carefully

"What did the lady wear in the morning? What color? ”

"What kind of hairpin do you use to comb your hair?"

"How tall is his son? What are the features on the face? ”

……

After asking for a long time, he shook his head at Lin He, this Zhu Da completely lost his soul, he didn't know if he asked three questions, it seemed that he had to go to her house to find her mother-in-law, so that he could ask one, two, three.

But this Xu En is a little interesting, he is well-behaved all day long, and he can say that he is polite and honest if he eats a noodle nest, and now he is interrogating Zhu Da is the first way, do you want to be a fast catcher in the future? Seeing the eagerness on his face, Lin You couldn't help but ask, "What are you...... Fascinated by solving cases? ”

"Yes! Cousin! ”

At the mention of judging the case, Xu En's eyes lit up, and his voice became a little louder, but he lost a bit of his literati demeanor.

"I want to solve the case in my dreams, listening to those storytellers tell those iron-mouthed divine decisions, and the criminals will be pulled out by dividing five by two, I really like it!"

Speaking of this, Xu En, who has always been calm, rarely showed the jubilation of a young man.

Seeing Lin He looking at him with a strange expression, Xu En realized something, and quickly turned on a straight face:

"Little brother Meng Lang, cousin, please forgive me."

"It's nothing, but you have to think clearly, as long as you need to solve the case, it means that something terrible has happened. That's not a good thing. ”

Lin He reminded inadvertently. Xu En glanced at the depressed Zhu Da beside him and covered his mouth. Are you rubbing salt in people's wounds?

Seeing his reaction, Lin He couldn't help but nod secretly, this guy is a good person. The Xu family has a big business, and Xu En is an only son, so it is really not easy to maintain such a pure conscience.

Yu's mother's house is not far from the snack street, and the three of them turned around twice and came to the door of a small courtyard. Zhu Da knocked on the door and said, "Yu Niang lives in the innermost part of the courtyard, which is a rented wing, and there are two families living in the front yard, let's just go through." ”

When the three of them entered the courtyard, two children were playing under the tree, and when they saw someone coming in, they all stood timidly.

When several adults heard the sound and saw that it was Zhu Da coming, they all greeted one after another: "How is it?" Did Yu Niang find it? ”

"What's the news on the inspection side?"

"Zhu Da, a certain family went to inquire on the street, and they all said that they had never seen Yu Niangzi......"

Zhu Da arched his hand: "Thank you, if you find it, you must tell everyone, let's go see Yu Niang's mother-in-law first." ”

The three of them walked through the courtyard, and the sighs of the neighbors could be heard behind them.

"Yu Niang looks thoughtful, I'm afraid I haven't met a kidnapper."

"The tiger head came to my house yesterday to play with the child, and today ...... What a goddamn crutch. ”

"It's just that...... It's a pity that Yu Niang, such a good lady. ”

Seeing that Zhu Da's eyes were red, Lin You couldn't help but comfort him: "Maybe it's just that something is delayed, and I'll find it in a while." ”

He didn't believe it himself, Zhu Da was just honest, not a fool, just speechless and wiped away tears.

Across the courtyard is a small courtyard, opposite the wing, Yu Niang and her mother-in-law live alone.

Zhu Da calmed down: "I only rented the East Chamber before, but during this time, the business was good, and Yu Niang had extra money in her hand, so she was afraid of wronging her mother-in-law, so she rented an extra room a few days ago." ”

Lin He nodded, looked around, felt that the yard was a little weird, and just wondered, a rickety old woman pushed the door out of the opposite wing, her hair was gray but her body was quite vigorous, holding a big broom in her hand, her body looked handsome, but her spirit was not very good.

"Granny Li, let's take a look here, Yu Niang and Hutou are back?"

Granny Li also showed sadness: "No, the old woman has been waiting, waiting, this daughter-in-law, why is she gone?" ”

Granny Li looked sad, and Zhu Da's tears almost fell.

"Zhu Da, you follow Yu Niang...... Alas, the old woman is not ignorant, but the stupid daughter-in-law can't see the old woman suffer, and I am delaying you. ”

The more Granny Li spoke, the more sad she became, threw the broom away, sat on the threshold and wiped her tears.

"My son is unlucky, he married such a good daughter-in-law, and died of illness within a few years. My daughter-in-law and her wife have suffered in the past two years, and now that life has finally improved, why is it gone? ”

Lin and Xu En had to persuade for a long time, and only after Granny Li's emotions completely calmed down did they start questioning.

Xu En asked Yu Niang's dress when he went out one by one, but Lin He focused on asking Yu Niang's usual interpersonal relationships and whether she had enemies.

Granny Li denied them one by one, and when she thought about it, Yu Niang, a soft, weak and amiable woman, who could she get so angry with?

The three of them asked for half an hour, but found nothing, so they had to comfort Granny Li and retreat from the house. Zhu Da was in a bad mood and took his leave. He's going to try his luck again and see if he can find it.

Xu En's face was solemn: "The younger brother thinks that this matter is strange. Cousin, you see, this back street is only a hundred paces away. ”

Xu En gestured for a while, and then looked at the road: "Even if you go to the snack street, even if you walk slowly, the kung fu of the tea will be there." It was nearly noon when the lady went out, and people were coming and going on the street, how could she disappear out of thin air? ”

Lin He nodded: "I always think it's not a coincidence, you see, the distance of about 100 steps forward from this house is back street, and after turning left in front of you, it is the main street, where there are many people during the day." If you want to do it, this is the only place to go. ”

The younger brother felt that the target was too big, Yu Niangzi had a child and a cart, if the case was to be overturned here, it would definitely leave traces, and how could the two not call for help? Well, if the younger brother's calculation is correct, the people on both sides of this alley are the most suspicious, and the neighbors who are familiar to Yu Niangzi will not be vigilant, and the car can be hidden by dragging it into the gate. ”

Lin He nodded: "It's very likely, go back and tell Ding Inspector." ”

Xu En glanced at Lin He thoughtfully: "Little brother has another theory, what if Yu Niangzi is not abducted by people, but because of other things?" ”

Lin and his eyebrows raised, and the two wanted to go together!
