Chapter 220: Wooden Pegs on the Ground
Da Leizi drove to No. 8 Middle School and was driving towards the compound, Leng Tong said, "Wait a minute, let's get out of the car and take a look." β
Da Leizi and I didn't know why Leng Tong stopped at the door, but this big beauty was very smart, maybe she found something, and got out of the car with her.
Leng Tong came directly to the side of the road not far from the gate and stood down, staring at a wooden peg nailed into the ground with big eyes, turned around and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what do you say this is?" β
"A piece of wood nailed into!" Da Leizi pouted and said, "Why haven't you seen anything, and you think it's also used to block rats here?" β
"Shut up, don't mess with it!" Leng Tong wrinkled his little nose and glared at Da Leizi, turned his head to look at me and said, "Xiaoxiao, what do you say?" β
"It's probably for a prop car, the kind of car that is used to set up a stall." I said casually, and suddenly thought of what Leng Tong meant, and hurriedly said: "Tongtong, are you saying that there were a lot of stalls here, and they didn't come because the school was closed, so these people don't know what the old lady's surname is, so they can't provide us with valuable clues?" β
"Is this possible?" Leng Tong stared at the door of some schools in our state and city, and there are also such stalls, most of them are old ladies, selling some candy, leather ropes and other things. β
"It's too likely!" I was also interested, and hurriedly analyzed: "This old lady surnamed Lu is still in good health, and she is setting up a stall here, otherwise it would be impossible to say that it is related to students, the old lady Ji Xiuying has a withdrawn personality, and she shouldn't know the teacher, maybe it's the old lady who sells sugar here?" β
Leng Tong was happy, grinned and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the store, you go and ask again, is there an old lady selling candy here, if so, then it is very promising." β
"Hmm!" I nodded and then analyzed: "Ji Xiuying is called eldest sister, this person must be not young, at such an age, pushing the car, it should not be too far away, in this way, we should be easy to find this old lady, so as long as it is an old lady, we have hope!" β
As soon as I finished speaking, my face was wiped from my forehead to my chin, which startled me, but I soon realized that it was Leng Tong's wipe, and this beautiful woman must be happy in her heart to have this kind of action.
Sure enough, Leng Tong grinned and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are getting more and more powerful, and you are becoming more and more good at analysis!" β
"Humph!" Da Leizi snorted coldly in the back: "Of course you think it's good!" β
"Shut up!" Leng Tongqiao blushed: "What I'm saying is the truth, Xiaoxiao is indeed getting more and more powerful, and she is so smart, are you not convinced?" β
Da Leizi ignored Leng Tong, suddenly put his arm around my shoulder, and said as he walked: "Xiaoxiao, you are really amazing recently, you are getting smarter and more cute, how do you think and how do you like it!" β
I couldn't help laughing when I was amused, and the cold beauty couldn't say anything in the back, so she followed with a blushing face and went all the way back to the store.
I came in and asked, "Big brother, could you please ask again, is there a very old lady selling candy at the school gate?" β
"Yes!" The eldest brother of the store immediately said: "If you want to say that you are very old, there is only one person, and she pushes a cart to set up a stall, but the old lady is not surnamed Lu, her name is Aunt Wang." β
"Yes, it's Aunt Wang." I looked at Leng Tong and knew that this might be the result of our analysis, so I nodded and asked, "How old is Aunt Wang?" Isn't there an old lady who usually comes to accompany her? β
The eldest brother of the shop thought for a moment and said, "Then the old lady is seventy or eighty years old, right?" I can't say exactly, anyway, I'm not young, but in summer, there is often an old lady who comes to accompany her, and she rarely comes in winter. β
The three of us were even more right when we heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where does this Aunt Wang live?" What kind of person is the old lady who accompanies her? I mean, height, isn't it? β
"Aunt Wang lives in an alley in front of me, I have seen it coming out of there, I don't know the specifics, you go and ask." The eldest brother of the store quickly said: "As for the old lady who came to accompany her, she is not tall and very thin, and the old lady is basically like this. β
We felt that it was getting more and more right, so we hurriedly said goodbye to this big brother and went directly to an alley not far away to make a sound.
This time it was Leng Tong who inquired, and it was the old lady who sold sugar in a cart that she asked, and it didn't take long for her to find out, and the old lady's house was really not far away.
When we came over, we saw a two-wheeled cart parked in the yard through the cane, and there were some candies that were not afraid of freezing on it.
Da Leizi knocked on the door twice, and soon an old lady came out inside, looking more than seventy years old, probably selling sugar outside, looking very vicissitudes, looking older.
Leng Tong hurriedly said: "Aunt Lu, we are from the police station, and we have something to ask you." β
"Oh!" The old lady agreed, and soon opened the door for us: "You want to ask about the eighth middle school, right?" I haven't seen it! β
In fact, Leng Tong asked, the old lady was not too surprised, we were just happy in our hearts, knowing that this old lady must be Sister Lu that Ji Xiuying said.
"Aunt Lu, we're here to ask about Ji Xiuying." Leng Tong came in and said, "Shall we go in and say?" β
"Xiuying?" The old lady said as she walked inside, "Why did you ask about Xiuying, what's wrong with her?" β
The three of us were slightly stunned, it seems that this old lady doesn't know that the cat-faced old lady is Ji Xiuying, and it seems that she hasn't seen Ji Xiuying for some days, Leng Tong just said that she was going to go in, maybe she also wanted to see if the cat-faced old lady Ji Xiuying was not at Aunt Lu'er's house.
This old lady is not a liar at all, Ji Xiuying should not be with her, and there is no hope for this future.
But we came in anyway, and the old lady sat us down, and then asked, "What's wrong with Xiuying?" Why do you ask me? β
"You haven't seen Ji Xiuying for a long time, right?" Leng Tong also asked tentatively: "Then when was the last time you saw her?" β
"It's been more than a month, and it doesn't seem to be so cold!" Aunt Lu still asked curiously, "What's wrong with Xiuying?" β
Leng Tong looked at me, and I nodded, this is not okay, it is impossible to ask, and the old lady may be able to provide some information in surprise.
"Aunt Lu, don't hide it, Ji Xiuying is the legendary cat-faced old lady." Leng Tong glared with big eyes and said, "You don't know, do you?" β
"Huh?" Aunt Lu was taken aback, her face also changed, and she said with a surprised face: "You can't be mistaken, right?" How can Xiuying be a cat-faced old lady, aren't all cat-faced old ladies eating people, I don't believe you when you say that! β
We all know that this case is spread amazingly, and there are still people who follow it, and now that it has reached this point, there are not many people who really know the truth, even Li Yusheng's neighbors don't know, they just follow the rumors.
Leng Tong also squeezed her little face and said helplessly: "Aunt Lu, it is indeed the old lady Ji Xiuying, but it is definitely not the old lady with a cat face, it is all false, in fact, the old man Ji Xiuying is resurrected from fake death, and then mentally stimulated, we came to you today, just to ask, she has never been to you." β
Aunt Lu still didn't believe it, but after hearing Leng Tong say this, she could generally understand it, and quickly said: "She hasn't been here for more than a month, and when the weather is warm, she often comes to accompany me, and she is also a very lonely old lady!" β
Leng Tong looked at me, and then asked: "Now that the whereabouts of the old man Ji Xiuying are unknown, it is rumored to be amazing, and we are also in a hurry, you always think about it, whether she came to look for you, I have never been to your house before, where do you often go, etc., it is very important to us." β
The old lady was much calmer at this time, thought about it and said: "We haven't known each other for two years, I almost go to the stall rain or shine, Xiuying accompanies me at the stall every time I go, we can talk very well, but she doesn't seem to have come to my house, to say where she often goesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Nor did it! β
Now the three of us are a little disappointed, since Ji Xiuying has never been here, she shouldn't stay here, and when she came to the vicinity of No. 8 Middle School, she may have subconsciously come to find Aunt Lu, but it is impossible for Aunt Lu to come out at night.
I looked at Leng Tong and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Ji Xiuying was stimulated that night, and came out a little crazy, and she didn't find Aunt Lu at the school gate. β
"I can't guess that!" When Leng Tong was in a hurry, a small dimple squeezed out of her pretty face, which was very good-looking: "It must not be at the school gate, otherwise there would not have been so many things that happened later, she may also be afraid of people, usually this is also a reaction after being stimulated, and it can also be seen from the later cases." β
I could understand what Leng Tong meant that day, and nodded again and again: "Then where will she go when she comes to the vicinity of No. 8 Middle School?" β
At this time, Aunt Lu suddenly said: "If you say so, I really want to think of a place." β
"Where?" The three of us asked almost at the same time.
"Near our school, in a pipe across the avenue." Aunt Lu continued: "In the past, when it rained suddenly, I simply cleaned up the things I was afraid of watering, and hid in that big pipe with Xiuying, temporarily sheltered from the rain, and when the rain passed, we came out again, Xiuying had nowhere to go, would I go inside?" β
At this time, the three of us hurriedly stood up, and Leng Tong also looked at the old lady and said, "Aunt Lu, can you take us there?" β
"Okay!" When Aunt Lu heard about this, she looked very anxious, and quickly stood up: "Let's go." β
This old lady can usually push the cart out of the stall, naturally her legs and feet are very neat, and she doesn't care about locking the door, so she takes us around the path and walks to the school.
The three of us followed closely, although it wasn't necessarily there, after all, we got some news, and if we found it, the case would be completely closed.
Aunt Lu walked in a hurry, and walked to the left when she got out of the alley, and she could see the school gate in this place.
It's still a long way away, and we see a big pipe, the kind of cement, with a diameter of more than a meter, and there is no problem with people sitting or lying in it.
