Chapter 349: The Missing Child
The next day, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun told Su Wuming what they had heard and seen in the Shuchuan Palace.
After listening to this, Su Wuming pondered slightly, and said, "Didn't you go to the backyard of the palace to have a look?" ”
Jiang Ying and Lin Yun were stunned for a moment, there was really nothing to say about the so-called wind and snow moon they saw last night.
The two looked a little nervous, and Jiang Ying immediately stood up and said, "My lord, why don't we go again?" ”
Su Wuming nodded, now that's all there is to it.
And Su Wuming faintly felt that there must be a secret in the backyard of the palace, and this secret was very likely to be related to the disappearance of Du Ru, the envoy of Jiedu.
Jiang Ying and Lin Yun didn't rest, so they hurried to the Shuchuan Palace, they felt a little wronged, they knew that this was the case, they should have stayed in the Shuchuan Palace.
And not long after Jiang Ying and Lin Yun left, a guard hurriedly came to report, saying that Huangshi had an urgent matter to meet Su Wuming, Su Wuming didn't understand why Huangshi wanted to see him, but he still let him in.
After Huang Shi came in, he looked a little nervous, and said, "Master Su, there is something I am afraid will trouble you." ”
Su Wuming glanced at Huang Shi and said, "If there is anything, Lord Huang said that it doesn't matter, if he can help, this official will not ignore it." ”
"Master Su will definitely be able to help with this matter, and it is what Master Su is best at."
"What the hell is going on?" Su Wuming glanced at Huang Shi, a little unable to bear his secrecy, since there is an urgent matter, why not hurry up?
Being drunk by Su Wuming, Huang Shi hurriedly said: "Master Su, it's like this, we ...... We have a family here where a child is missing. ”
"The child is missing?" Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "When did it happen?" ”
"What happened yesterday evening, the family of the missing child searched for a night and did not find it, and came to the government early this morning to report the case, and after listening to it, the lower officials hurriedly came to find Lord Su, thinking that Lord Su would be able to solve the case like a god, and he would definitely be able to find the missing child in the shortest possible time."
Su Wuming frowned slightly, he didn't like Huang Shi's attitude very much, Huang Shi was the governor of Chengdu, and there was a disappearance case, he should have the most basic countermeasures, instead of coming here to ask for help.
Su Wuming wanted to reprimand Huangshi, but after thinking about it, forget it, let's find someone first, the child's family, I don't know what the rush is like at this time.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Back to Lord Su, it's like this, that child's name is Xiao An, he has been playing at the door of the house yesterday evening, and his parents didn't care, but after a long time, the family didn't see Xiao An come home, so he was a little worried, so he ran out to see, but there was no trace at the door."
Su Wuming was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How old is that Xiao An?" ”
"Three or four years old!"
Su Wuming's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Three or four-year-old kids, just let him stay outside?" ”
Seeing Su Wuming suddenly like this, Huang Shi couldn't help but shrink in fright.
"This Xiao An's parents are too careless, and the official has to punish them."
Huang Shi was also a little nervous, but he still hurriedly said: "The child is missing, they searched all the places they can find, but they haven't found any clues, adults, now...... What do we do now? ”
"Send someone to find it, you accompany the official to Xiao An's house."
Huang Shi received orders again and again, and then ordered to go down, and then followed Su Wuming to Xiao An's house.
It was a relatively remote place, a small courtyard, a mottled door, pushing the door to enter, you could see some simple furniture, an old woman sat on the stone steps in front of the door with her eyes distracted, and there was no reaction to the entry of Su Wuming and Huang Shi and others.
At this time, Huang Shi explained: "My lord, this is the nurse of the small case, since Xiao An disappeared, she has become like this, very pitiful." ”
"What about Ann's parents?"
"I should have gone out to look for Xiao An."
Su Wuming looked around and found that although the place where this family lived was remote, it could be regarded as a street, if a child was lost like this, someone should see it, and there were several families nearby, didn't they find it at all?
After Su Wuming left Xiao'an's house, he went to a nearby neighbor's house to inquire.
The man in that family was a carpenter, and when Su Wuming and the others went, he was connecting at home, and when he saw someone coming, he thought it was a guest, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?" Chair or table? ”
Huang Shi revealed his identity, and then said, "I asked you a few things." ”
The man looked frightened and nodded in response.
"Your neighbor's child Xiao An is missing, do you know about this?"
"I know, I was able to help them find them last night in the middle of the night."
"Did you notice anyone near Xiao An's house yesterday?"
"That's not true, I've been doing this all the time, and I rarely care about things outside."
Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao An is only a three- or four-year-old child, and his parents just let it go like this, so it must be the same in normal times, right?" ”
The man thought for a while and said, "It seems that yes, I don't have much contact with them, but it's true that Xiao An's parents dot on Xiao An. ”
"So, Xiao An's kid must be very naughty, right?"
"This is true, a very naughty child."
"What exactly?"
"If the parents can't follow his wishes, they will make a lot of noise, and there will be conflicts with the children on the street, no matter who is right and who is wrong, his parents have to find someone else to settle accounts, alas, this happened, it happened more than once or twice, sometimes for Xiao An and his parents' behavior, we really can't stand it."
When the man said this, a very urgent voice suddenly came from outside.
"Xiao An, where are you ......"
"You're coming back......"
Su Wuming frowned slightly, and Huang Shi explained on the side: "Xiao An's parents are back. ”
The carpenter man shrugged, and then continued to do his work, Su Wuming and Huang Shi walked out, and on the small street, a man and a woman were shouting eagerly, the two of them were very tired, very tired, and very haggard, maybe they had not rested since last night.
When they saw Huang Shi, they suddenly rushed over, the man's love was a little excited, he looked at Huang Shi and said, "My lord, can you find our son?" ”
In a hurry, they seemed to have forgotten their identities, and Huang Shi at this time was inconvenient to care, and said, "Not for the time being." ”
When the man heard this, he suddenly scolded in their unique dialect here, Su Wuming couldn't understand what it meant, thinking that this person was too anxious, but Huang Shi understood, he pointed at the man: "What a bold man, he actually insulted this official, come here, escort this official back, and talk about it after a few boards." ”
Xiao An's father did insult Huang Shi, but if it was before, Huang Shi would definitely be able to understand, after all, the direct son was gone, but when he saw Su Wuming today, he felt that Su Wuming didn't like the parents very much, so he wanted to use this matter to teach these two people a lesson, so as to tie Su Wuming down.
After Huang Shi said this, Su Wuming was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know that it was an insult, but it was undeniable that it was a real insult.
Xiao An's parents were scared, although they were very nervous about their son, but in front of the officials, they were like ants, it was too simple to kill them, the two suddenly knelt down, and kept begging for mercy in front of Huang Shi, and kept begging for mercy, Huang Shi frowned slightly, he didn't want to forgive them, but at this time, Su Wuming spoke: "Forget it, let's spare them." ”
Huang Shi shrugged: "Master Su has an order, I will spare you first this time, and if there is a next time, the punishment will be doubled." ”
The two of them kowtowed to Su Wuming again and again, and Su Wuming asked them to get up and said, "Xiao An is just a three or four-year-old child, how can you let him run around outside alone?" As parents, you are very derelict in your duties, you know? ”
In the face of Su Wuming's accusations, they naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they could only nod their heads again and again, indicating that what they had done before was wrong.
Judging from the attitude of the two, Su Wuming didn't think that what they had done before was wrong, but this kind of thing, bittersweet and bittersweet, Su Wuming didn't want to say anything more, he could only try to do what he should do.
"Can you search all your relatives and friends?"
"I've asked, but they all said they hadn't seen Xiao An."
"You were at home and you didn't hear a sound?"
"No, we were all busy with dinner in the house at the time, but after it was ready, there was no trace of Xiao An."
Su Wuming frowned slightly, Xiao An is already three or four years old, and he should have his own judgment on many things and people, if he was abducted, it must be someone he knows, if it is a stranger, it is impossible not to make a sound at all.
Of course, if the abducted person has unique methods, it is possible to get Xiao An away quietly, but compared to the current situation, Su Wuming is more inclined to get him away from someone Xiao An knows.
Because from Su Wuming's short inquiry just now, he knew that Xiao An was a very naughty child, and if the word naughty was really understood, it would be annoying and annoying.
Such a child, whether it is in front of his peers or in front of adults, is a very annoying child, if Xiao An has been annoyed by this, will that person do anything to Xiao An?
Anything is possible, and many things in the world, most of the time, are caused by a small thing, if such a small thing really happened, it is difficult to say.
