Chapter 76: The Mystery in the Stove

"Do you remember something?" Sheng Siyan looked at Xiao Lu's performance and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Lu pondered for a moment before speaking again: "I don't know if it counts." ”

As Liu Neng's neighbor, Xiaolu doesn't know much. The other party lives in a simple place, if it wasn't for stealing his wife, even if they met, they wouldn't talk.

But if you talk about anomalies, there really are. On several occasions, he saw the other party sneaking through the door, carrying a large basket that was tightly covered behind him, as if it was very heavy.

"Tell me about it!" The colleague who came with Sheng Siyan looked at Xiaolu with encouraging eyes, and said gently, "Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. ”

Xiao Lu glanced at Sheng Siyan, and then said: "That's the case, I came home late several times and saw the man entering the door with a basket on his back. ”

"How big is the basket?"

"The basket is huge, a bit like the basket that people from the countryside use to go up the hill to chop wood."

After speaking, Xiaolu said again: "By the way, once, I vaguely heard the cry of a child next door. However, the sound was a little small, and I couldn't really hear it. And after only crying twice, it was gone, I thought it was the sound of a cat. ”

Sheng Siyan and his companion glanced at each other, their faces a little solemn. This scorpion is involved in a case of abduction. If you hear a child crying in the rat's house, it is probably a child they have abducted.

"Anything else?" Sheng Siyan asked again.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lu shook his head and said, "That's all I know. ”

"Okay, we got it. Thank you for giving us the news. Sheng Siyan's companion thanked Xiaolu, stood up and walked outside.

Not wanting to do this, Xiao Lu suddenly shouted: "Comrade, can the information I provide be meritorious?" Will I be given a reduced sentence? ”

To be honest, he was hot-headed and impulsive before he did the thing of cutting people. Officer Nama was right, he shouldn't have hitched himself a ride for those two things. Unfortunately, he woke up too late.

"We'll try to get you there!" Sheng Siyan replied. This path is just a momentary mistake, not a heinous bad guy. Moreover, it is understandable to act aggressively in the face of betrayal.

In addition, he gave them clues, which can be regarded as a great favor for them, and he will help Xiaolu to fight for leniency.

"Thank you!"

Leaving the police station, Sheng Siyan and his companions rushed to the place where the rats lived again. They had searched before, but they didn't find anything.

The rat's house is so clean that there isn't even a single bed bug, let alone the basket mentioned by the trail.

So, there must be something they left out. Sheng Siyan suspected that there was a cellar under the rat's house.

When the two went back, the colleague in charge had not yet left and was questioning nearby neighbors for evidence. Seeing the two coming back, the colleague immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it, have you gained anything?" ”

"There are some clues, we have to look into them again." After Sheng Siyan replied, he went into the rat's house again and searched carefully.

"Looking for what?" A colleague asked.

"Basement!" Sheng Siyan replied as he observed the structure of the room. Since it's underground, there will definitely be an exit. But where will this exit be placed?

Sheng Siyan searched around the house and found nothing. Frustrated, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Before I could go inside, I heard a shout: "Found it!" ”

Sheng Siyan quickened his pace, and after a few steps into the kitchen, he saw his colleague holding a large pot in his hand, with an excited face.

Seeing the pot in the other party's hand, Sheng Siyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood in his heart. No wonder he searched all over the house and didn't find the entrance, it turned out to be here.

It's also a shame that the other party can figure it out, and he actually uses the stove as the entrance. The probe looked into the belly of the stove, where a large plate was covered. And you can see at a glance that it is a moving plank.

Sheng Siyan stretched out his hand and pulled on the board, and a boxy entrance was revealed. The plank opened, and a sound came out of it.

The voice is small, similar to the whimper of a child crying tiredly. Sheng Siyan was startled and stepped into the belly of the stove. The entrance is not too wide, barely enough for two people.

Seeing Sheng Siyan entering, the comrade who found the entrance to the cave put the pot aside and followed in, and ordered the colleague who came in again: "Captain Sheng and I will go down and have a look, you are guarding outside." ”

"Team Luo, you have to be careful!"

"Don't worry!" Captain Luo nodded, and followed the ladder into the cellar.

Sheng Siyan had already gone down to the cellar, and after sweeping around, he found that this cellar was really not small, with more than 30 square meters, and it was a little dark inside. He got used to it, only to find a few children lying in it.

Seeing the Sheng Si Banquet, those children were a little scared, and their bodies kept shrinking down the wall.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." After Sheng Siyan didn't find anything other than the child, he looked at the scared child and calmed down.

I don't know if his words worked, or because the children found that he was different from the person before, a few of them were a little bolder, not only did they not shrink into the wall, but they looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "Uncle, are you really here to save us?" ”

"Uncle doesn't lie to you." Sheng Siyan replied as he approached the children. As he approached, the children became scared again.

At this time, my colleague also came down and asked, "Team Sheng, how is it?" ”

"It's all kids." After saying that, he asked again, "Did you bring the fire?" It's a little dark here. ”

"Bring it!" Team Luo replied as he took out a match and lit it. As soon as the match was lit, the cellar lit up. Only then did he realize that there were a few children in the corner.

"So many kids?" Team Luo's face changed and said, "Let's get them out first." ”

Sheng Siyan nodded and bent down to pick up the child.

At this time, Team Luo shouted towards the entrance: "Come and two people to the entrance of the cave and pick up the child!" ”

When Sheng Si feasted them to save the child, Chu Anran had already prepared lunch. She was afraid that she would forget to eat when she was busy with the banquet, so she deliberately made some more and put them in the pot to heat up.

As for herself, after picking up a bowl of rice at random, she went back to her room to rest.

Two days ago, when the factory had not yet started, she and her brother came to the county seat, brought food and quilts, and cleaned up the house.

Lying on the bed, Chu Anran didn't feel sleepy. So, after thinking about it, I sat up, took out the textbook I had just handed out, and flipped through it.

The school, the new headmaster, Jing Che, held a list in his hand. When he saw Chu Anran's name, his finger lightly clicked on the word 'Anran'.
