Chapter 337: The Whereabouts of the Missing Child
After nightfall, the little prince slept in his clothes.
Before going to bed, he told himself that he would wake up earlier tomorrow than the sun.
This clear-hearted child had no dreams all night.
The next day, before the rooster began to crow, the little prince of peace got up and quietly crawled out of the dog hole out of the Beilu Academy.
As soon as he left the academy, he walked along Kyoto Avenue towards Waikoku.
After the morning, the students read loudly. Li Jirou suddenly woke up when she heard the sound, she rubbed her eyes, and her heart was stunned.
She didn't dare to go to the residence of the little prince of peace to see that he was still there, because she didn't want to face an empty house to prove that her disappointment was so real.
She didn't tell anyone the news, because she felt that she had to be righteous and not betray her friends.
The little prince of peace learned from the map that to go to Lingquan Mountain, he had to pass through the Acropolis.
He also inquired with the students of the academy and learned that it only took half a day to travel from the Beilu Academy to the Acropolis.
But he ignored that he was just a child, and that he was not fit for long journeys.
It took him half a day before he came to the Acropolis with difficulty.
Watching the midday sun shine on the gate tower of the Acropolis, the disappointment in his heart made him feel more uncomfortable than the exhaustion of his body.
The current supreme commander of the Acropolis garrison is Sunset Cangshan, who is known as the Flying Tiger General.
The military aircraft department of Cangshan at dusk was called the Flying Tiger Hall.
Since the murder of Sunset Rose five years ago, Sunset Mountain has become much duller. Over the years, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the culprit Mu Bai.
Bounty orders with Mu Bai's portrait were posted everywhere in the Acropolis.
Although they used to be Mu Bai heroic and graceful, now he has been tortured by illness and is not human, even if he stands in front of his portrait, others can't recognize him.
In the past five years, Mu Bai has gone through hardships in order to avoid the pursuit of the Flying Tiger Hall. He was reduced to a beggar, no longer in his former glory.
"Ahem!" Mu Bai clutched his chest and coughed non-stop, foaming at the stars.
The three bounty hunters, who were watching the bounty at the city gate, saw an unkempt sick beggar, and they all felt bad luck and could not avoid it.
They never thought that the beggar in front of them was the key criminal of the Flying Tiger Hall's heavy reward.
After the little prince of peace left for a long time, Beilu Academy found that he was missing.
The little prince of Ping An has a special identity, and he runs around the academy on weekdays, and no one thinks he is very important. Some even resented him.
But as soon as he disappeared, it became a big deal.
First of all, Li Zhien was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and under her questioning, Li Jirou finally said where he went to the little prince of Ping'an.
The matter was reported to the Master, and the Master, who had always been calm, was in a hurry. He speculated that a child who left the academy on foot without the help of an adult should not be able to cross the Acropolis in half a day.
He immediately ordered men to ride fast horses to the Acropolis to find them.
Because the disappearance of the little prince of Ping'an was of great importance, the master did not want to make a noise, so the academy did not report it to the government and the palace for the time being.
Li Zhien was still a little relieved, and after the master, he also took a carriage to the Acropolis to find the little prince of peace.
Considering that the little prince of peace might deliberately avoid those looking for him, she brought Li Jirou with her, hoping that Li Jirou could summon the little prince of peace back.
A group of college teachers and students rode fast horses to the streets of the Acropolis.
As soon as they entered the city, they began to inquire about the whereabouts of a five-year-old child.
Their actions quickly attracted the attention of the Acropolis Guards. After verifying the identities of the academy and the others, the commander of the city guard heard that they were looking for a lost child and ignored them.
A few days ago, there was a case of three children missing in the Acropolis.
These three children are the children of the Acropolis and the Yang Boss of the Sheng Dyeing Cloth Factory.
The three children, two boys and one girl, the elder sister is 11 years old, and the two younger brothers are 9 years old and the other is only 5 years old.
The three children were seen playing together by a small lotus pond before they disappeared. At first, everyone thought that the three siblings might have fallen into the water and died.
The small lotus pond was just an artificial lake in front of a large family. This man-made lake is just a small diving pond that brings a depression into the river with a canal.
In the summer, the pond is overgrown with lotus flowers. In winter, the residual lotus leaves are cleaned up by the farmers who dig the lotus roots, and the water surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the water is crystal clear, and the water is clear at a glance.
Aiko, the boss of the dyeing workshop, spent money to hire more than a dozen lotus diggers who were familiar with the potholes under the pond, and asked them to turn the small pond upside down, but they did not find the bodies of the three children.
The case was reported to the Acropolis government as a missing case.
After Fushengye became the king of Wei, he governed the country in an orderly manner. King Wei is sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and the Acropolis Government is honest and efficient.
The case of the disappearance of children is not big or small, it is related to people's livelihood, and King Wei has always attached great importance to it.
A catcher named Shen Hai from the Acropolis was ordered to investigate the case.
Capture Kuai Shenhai is the son of Shen Tu, a former Shence army general. During the rebellion of Emperor Xuan in Apocalypse City, Shen Tu sacrificed himself to protect the Lord with a fearless spirit.
Although he died, the slogan he shouted before his death, "The knife of Shentu, only attack but not defend" has been remembered by later generations.
Shen Hai was influenced by his father and was inspired to make a difference.
During his tenure as a catcher, he investigated cases that were big and small, and he did his best to achieve a perfect result.
Just when the lotus diggers found nothing after digging through the small lotus pond, Shenhai went deep into the streets and alleys around the dyeing workshop to find witnesses and find out the news.
He found a child's embroidered shoes near a coffin shop two blocks away from the dyeing mill.
The embroidered shoes looked like they were worn by a teenage girl. Because it was near the coffin shop, passers-by were afraid that the dead man would be contaminated, so no one picked up the beautiful shoe.
Shen Tu felt that the owner of the embroidered shoes should be the same age as the missing little girl, so he took the embroidered shoes into the cuffs and took them to the dyeing workshop to be identified by Boss Yang.
Boss Yang and his wife cried bitterly when they saw the embroidered shoes brought by Shenhai.
It turned out that although the embroidered shoes were ordinary, they were also made by Mrs. Yang herself. Thousands of stitches passed by, and the appearance of embroidered shoes had long been deeply rooted in her mind, and Mrs. Yang recognized at a glance that they were her eldest daughter's favorite shoes.
Boss Yang also said that the embroidered shoes belonged to their daughter, and they were sure of it. But the coffin shop is still far away from the dyeing workshop, and his children are still young, so it is impossible to run so far to play.
Boss Yang and his wife were crying and red-eyed, and when they were helpless, they regarded Shenhai as a savior bodhisattva, and both knelt down and begged him to find their three children.
Boss Yang said: "Wealth is like floating clouds, children are like flesh and bones, if the officials can find my three children, I, Yang, am willing to give up all my family business to break out of you!" ”
The words of the bitter lord are as heavy as stones.
Shen Hai felt that he had a thousand catties of heavy burdens on him, and he could better understand the spirit advocated by King Wei that "the interests of the masses are no trivial matter".
Originally, in order to deal with such a trivial matter as the disappearance case, the government only sent Shen Hai to go through the motions.
Boss Yang's three children all disappeared in broad daylight, and there was hardly a single witness nearby, so Shen Hai speculated that this was a long-planned kidnapping case.
Now the kidnappers' intentions are unknown. Whether the case was committed by traffickers or kidnapped by thieves also needs to be clarified urgently.
Time was pressing, and after Shenhai returned to the government office and truthfully reported the case, he applied to his superiors to send five more capable arresters to cooperate with him in investigating the case.
They sent one person to investigate whether Boss Yang had any enemies in the Acropolis, and wanted to use this as a clue to find out the kidnapper's intentions.
Under the leadership of Shen Hai, the task force searched a wide area around the dyeing workshop and investigated nearly thousands of residents, but did not find any useful clues.
Five days have passed, and the whereabouts of the three children have touched the hearts of many people in the Acropolis.
Shenhai has a heavy burden and is conscientious.
Whenever he wanted to give up the investigation because of difficulties, he would think of poor Boss Yang and his wife.
Every day, he wrote a report on the details of the investigation of the case and submitted it to the chief book of the government for archiving.
Whenever the master book saw the details of the case carefully presented by Shen Hai, he would praise him for his seriousness.
The reason why the government can be so honest and honest is inseparable from the direct supervision of the Wei Wangfu.
The department responsible for supervising the government of the Weiwang Mansion is called the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The dean's surname is Cheng, and he was born in the Snow Pirate Camp and was one of the first sixteen members of the Floating Samurai Order.
Dean Cheng has to inspect the work of the government every day, and it is one of the necessary steps for him to inspect the various documents of the government office.
On this day, Dean Cheng found the missing children's plan written by Shen Hai.
At first, he was just very impressed by the neat and tidy small letters on the Shenhai document, and after careful reading, Shentu's daily and meticulous work attitude was vividly visible on the paper.
Through Shenhai's report, Dean Cheng also learned about the disappearance of the children of the Yang family.
The Acropolis can be described as a country and a country under the governance of the floating leaves of the Wei King, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed.
However, the case of the disappearance of the children of the Yang family has been fruitless for a long time, and the gossip has put everyone in danger, and the door of the house is closed when it gets dark.
Many adults are too busy to take care of their children, but they are worried about their children's safety and do not let their children go out during the day.
Some people lock their children in their homes all day.
Shen Tu made a heartfelt appeal in the investigation report: the headquarters will increase its efforts to increase the number of people and solve the case as soon as possible.
Shen Hai used the sentence in the case plan: "In case of a case, it is the criminals who should be locked up immediately, not our children!" to end.
Dean Cheng was deeply touched after reading it. He also felt that the case was quite strange and had caused panic among the people.
In order to solve the case and find the whereabouts of the missing child as soon as possible, Dean Cheng activated his authority and secretly contacted Cheng Xue of the Huaxinfang Intelligence Bureau.
Cheng Xue is now in full charge of the intelligence work of the Painting Heart Workshop, and she is the only person other than Mrs. Painting Heart who can mobilize the letter rat to investigate the case.
After Cheng Xue received a request for help from her old comrade-in-arms, Dean Cheng, she immediately used the letter mouse network to review the news of the missing children.
While the Believer was listening to all the people involved in the search for the missing child, she unexpectedly overheard a group of scholars from the North Foot Academy looking for a lost five-year-old child in the Acropolis.
After sorting out the information a little, she came to the conclusion that the child that Beilu Academy was looking for was the little prince of peace.
Cheng Xue, as the intelligence minister of the Painting Heart Workshop, knows a lot of secret things.
Among them, she also knows something about the relationship between the little prince of peace and the floating leaves of King Wei.
Whether it is in Apocalypse City or in the Guardian Country, the Floating Warrior Order regards the Floating Leaf as the person they most admire.
When it comes to floating leaves, it's a big deal.
Cheng Xue immediately told Mrs. Huaxin the news of the departure of the little prince of Ping An from the Beilu Academy. After hearing the news, Mrs. Huaxin didn't care about lifting her shoes, so she rushed to Beihai Tower to report the news to Fushengye in person.
At the same time, Cheng Xue also found important clues about the disappearance of the three sisters and brothers of the Yang family by investigating the many messages sent back by the letter rats.
She was horrified to discover that a terrifying plan was coming towards Apocalypse City.
