Chapter 10 Raising a Cat
After coming out of Hu Xiaoxiao's house, the policemen who brought them here went back to the office, leaving Qin Ming and a few people, still in the community and leaving in a hurry.
Because there were police officers just now, neither Xue Kai nor Fu Guangliang dared to interject or say anything. Although the police have completely believed in the identities they disguised with their student IDs, compared to Qin Ming and Yi Shaodong, two people who have been tempered by practice, Xue Kai and Fu Guangliang are ruthless in their hearts when facing the police.
It wasn't until the police had just walked away that Xue Kai couldn't wait to ask:
"What's going on with this missing schoolgirl? Was it killed by a ghost? ”
"If her disappearance has nothing to do with sneakiness, how could the academy possibly choose the exam room here?"
Without Qin Ming answering, Yi Shaodong had already answered them, but in his heart, he felt that this question was really a bit low-level.
However, Qin Ming didn't think anything, although it seemed that they had only experienced one more class task than Xue Kai and Fu Guangliang, but in fact, in terms of experience gain, the two of them were more than a little bit inferior to them.
Because as early as the first monthly exam, Xue Kai and Fu Guangliang did not go through the "investigation" link for the supernatural events faced by their group. So in the face of this kind of incident that needs to be investigated, he is still a rookie with zero experience.
After Yi Shaodong finished speaking, Qin Ming roughly explained two more sentences to them, and Xue Kai and Fu Guangliang somewhat understood what was going on. In my heart, I also regard the two of them as the key to whether I can pass the exam alive.
"If that Hu Xiaoxiao was really killed by sneak, why didn't she find her body?
Do you think that the sneaky man chopped Hu Xiaoxiao into minced meat after killing someone, and then put it in a bag and took it out of the community? If ......"
"You're the logic of how humans dispose of corpses after they kill someone."
Qin Ming shook his head, and at this time interrupted Fu Guangliang's blind analysis:
"We don't need to think about where the bodies go now, because even if we find them, they won't do anything to solve the incident.
What we need to know now is what Hu Xiaoxiao experienced before she disappeared.
What are her anomalous behaviors?
and whether any of her relatives and friends are still facing a similar experience to her before her disappearance.
To put it simply, we need to find the sneaky next target, because only then can we find the sneaky. ”
After hearing Qin Ming's words with a serious expression, Xue Kai and Fu Guangliang immediately stopped expressing any opinions, and then nodded with a little dazed head, and asked Qin Ming:
"That'...... So what do we do next? ”
"The police said that Hu Xiaoxiao has only one relative here, that is, her aunt, and we will go to her aunt's house now."
Qin Ming already had a plan for the investigation in his heart.
That is to start with Hu Xiaoxiao's aunt and her good friends.
Come to think of it, there should be people who know about Hu Xiaoxiao's recent "changes".
Hu Xiaoxiao's aunt is called Chen Meiyan, and she is a self-employed small boss. There are two fast food restaurants that are doing very well.
When Qin Ming and the others found Chen Meiyan, she was busy preparing for the upcoming noon rush hour in the store.
The name of the shop is delicious fish, and the main fish dishes are boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, etc.
After learning that they were here for Hu Xiaoxiao's matter, Chen Meiyan immediately put down the work she was doing and beckoned them to sit down.
"Comrade policeman, you must find Xiaoxiao, I really beg you."
Chen Meiyan was very anxious to find Hu Xiaoxiao, Qin Ming could see and feel that Chen Meiyan was not acting, but was really worried about Hu Xiaoxiao's safety.
"Ms. Chen, it is our duty to find Hu Xiaoxiao, and we will definitely find a way to find her as soon as possible.
We came here today to learn something about Hu Xiaoxiao from you.
Because we suspect that Hu Xiaoxiao's disappearance is not simple, so before her disappearance, something should have happened.
So before she disappeared, was there anything out of the ordinary?
For example, what are some unusual words?
Or have you behaved in a more unusual way? ”
As soon as Qin Ming came up, he went straight to the point, and there was not much nonsense.
Chen Meiyan thought about it after hearing this, then sighed and said:
"Hey, I already said it the last time you sent someone.
Xiaoxiao, this kid is good at everything, but she is too rebellious, and I usually like to nag, so she doesn't like me very much.
His parents are not here, and I am the only one here, but I don't see her a few times a year. ”
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"It's almost half a month now, and it's eleven or twelve days."
Chen Meiyan thought about it, and she wasn't very sure, but she just gave a range.
"Where did you meet? Did she come to you, or did you find her? ”
"She came looking for me."
"What are you looking for?"
"Come to me and get fish."
"Take the fish?"
"Well, it's just some leftover braised fish, because Xiaoxiao has a cat, so she will come to me every few days to get fish."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't see her a few times a year?"
"It used to be like this, but since she got a cat, she's come to me a little more often."
"And the last time you saw her, how did she look?"
"His face was a little pale, and he looked listless. I asked her if she was too tired from studying lately, and she didn't say. ”
"Did she tell you anything about her lately? For example, some of the more weird, like hearing some strange noises, seeing strange people, etc.? ”
"No, this kid doesn't communicate much with me. She came from school that day, took her things and left, I left her here to eat, and she didn't eat......"
Qin Ming and Chen Meiyan talked a lot, and they asked everything they should ask, but they didn't gain anything.
Chen Meiyan hasn't encountered anything strange recently, except for worrying about Hu Xiaoxiao, everything else is no different from usual.
According to Chen Meiyan, as early as when Hu Xiaoxiao proposed to move out of the dormitory and go home to live alone, she lived with Hu Xiaoxiao for a period of time.
But because the two people have different living habits, there will always be some contradictions, and later Hu Xiaoxiao had a trouble, and in the end she stopped accompanying her in a fit of anger.
Since then, Hu Xiaoxiao has rarely come to her, until she has a cat, and only occasionally comes.
At almost 11 o'clock in the morning, after Qin Ming and a few people left Chen Meiyan's store, they took a taxi non-stop and went to Tenghai No. 1 Experimental Middle School.
On the way there, Yi Shaodong asked Qin Ming with some uncertainty:
According to Hu Xiaoxiao's aunt, the last time she saw Hu Xiaoxiao should have been a few days before Hu Xiaoxiao's disappearance.
At that time, Hu Xiaoxiao should have been targeted by sneaky and entered the sneaky game period, right?
No matter how bold she is, she lives alone and hits ghosts, even if she is not sure if she is a ghost or not, and there is a slight disturbance at home, she should at least think about it suspiciously, whether she has been targeted by bad people, it is impossible not to tell her parents and her aunt. ”
