It turned out that these four women were classmates from the girls' middle school, and the family background who could study in the Shanghai City Girls' High School was generally good, Wen Qian was born wealthy, her father was a lawyer, and her brother worked in Wuhan, because of the tense relationship with her stepmother, she lived alone in an apartment, and usually hired a little sister who cleaned up. When the little eldest sister went to work, she happened to see her going out, and she said to the little eldest sister that she was going to Dahua Foreign Bank to find Miss Hong, so she left, and asked the little eldest sister to wait for her to come back, because she was going to pay the little eldest sister a salary that day.

That night, Miss Wen didn't come back, the little sister waited in the house and waited for her to fall asleep on the sofa all night, and woke up in the morning without leaving, because this is a high-end apartment, very comfortable, and even a refrigerator. It's a rarity in those days, and there's milk, butter, and bread in the fridge. The neat apartment and the high-end things that foreigners eat are the life that the little sister has dreamed of for a long time. The little sister thought that Miss Wen told me to wait for her here anyway, and I would wait if she didn't come back, so she used this as an excuse to wait in the apartment, so a week later, a man in military uniform opened the door with a key, and saw the little sister sitting on the sofa holding bread and nibbling on it, and immediately pulled her to send her to the police station, and the little sister was frightened and hurriedly explained: "It was Miss Wen who told me to wait for her to come back, what is it for me to eat some bread?" This month's salary has been delayed for seven days, and this bread is not enough to count the interest on my salary. ”

It turned out that the man in military uniform was Wen Qian's eldest brother, named Wen Hui, who served at the Central Military Academy in Wuhan, and this time he was back in Shanghai for a meeting to come to see his sister. Because when he returned to Shanghai before, he stayed with his sister, Wen Qian gave him a key, but he didn't expect to see such a scene when he opened the door.

Wen Hui dragged the little eldest sister straight to the police station, the little eldest sister cried a handful of snot and tears, and told the matter as it was, Wen Hui angrily stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the little eldest sister's clothes and shook his fist to beat: "It's been a week, you can live in her house with peace of mind and don't come to the police?" I think you killed my sister and wanted to occupy the magpie's nest! ”

The little eldest sister's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, I really don't, it was Miss Wen who asked me to wait for her at home, I am obedient." ”

Wen Hui insisted that the little eldest sister had murdered her sister, and the little eldest sister rolled on the ground and cried, swearing that what she said was true.

Xiao Wu saw that the little eldest sister was fifteen or sixteen years old, with two braids, and she didn't look like a big traitor, so he called the policewoman to come over and pull the little eldest sister up to make a record, and persuaded Wenhui to calm down.

Now Xiao Wu has run to a few more places, proving that the other three young ladies are also missing.

Miss Li, who teaches at the girls' middle school, disappeared because she was a music teacher, and there was no class and no activity this week, and the school thought she was preparing for classes in the dormitory, and her colleague Miss Li proved that she had been away from the dormitory for about a week, thinking that she was going home, so she quietly concealed it for her and did not tell the school.

Another Miss Chen is married, the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, the husband has a small mansion outside, and rarely goes home, because she doesn't know that she is missing, or Xiao Wu went to Miss Chen's house and knocked on the door and couldn't knock on it, and then found her husband to open the door only to find that the house was empty, and the vegetables and fruits in the kitchen were rotten and unpresentable.

A Miss Zhang lived with her brother and sister-in-law, and when she left, she said that she was looking for Miss Wen. This Miss Zhang's family was originally very wealthy, and then her father's yarn factory closed down and committed suicide, and the family fell into decline all of a sudden, her brother and sister-in-law were very dissatisfied with this sister who had a little dowry, thinking that she was going to live in Wen Qian's house, so she didn't ask much, Xiao Wu came to the door, and the sister-in-law hurriedly ran to the sister-in-law's room after hearing what happened, and after a while, she ran out and slapped her thigh and scolded: "Kill a thousand knives, the valuable things are gone, this little biaozi won't elope with someone, right?" ”

Miss Zhang's brother saw that the police were still sitting and hurriedly glared at her: "What nonsense, that's my sister." ”

"Sister? Hmph, our baby can't continue to read, she is an aunt with a dowry money in her hand and is reluctant to take it out, I told her to wait for the money to pay her back, first call the baby to read, your baby sister is silent. Eat me and live mine, and pretend to ......be dead when you encounter a big event" The sister-in-law of the Zhang family suddenly thought of Xiao Wu's words, and looked at Xiao Wu anxiously, "Mr. Policeman, what did you say?" My sister-in-law once invested 50,000 yuan in Dahua Foreign Bank? ”

Xiao Wu saw that the woman's eyes were glowing, and he couldn't help but take a step back and nodded lightly.

"Fifty thousand yuan! She has fifty thousand dollars! I don't have so much money to read to my baby, is this still a human being? ”

As he spoke, he turned to the Zhang family's brother again, stretching out his hand to fight.

The elder brother of the Zhang family glanced at Xiao Wu, and hid behind Xiao Wu and shouted, "The police are still here, do you dare to do it?" ”

"It's also illegal to beat your own man?"

The woman was about to swing her fist as she spoke. Xiao Wu shouted: "I'm here to understand the situation, be honest with me." ”

Brother Zhang took the opportunity to say: "That's right, that's right, Mr. Policeman, I'll tell you, find my sister early, and we can get back the 50,000 yuan." Sister-in-law Zhang nodded immediately when she heard this, and talked about the events before Miss Zhang left home in detail, and finally pointed to Brother Zhang and said, "Yes, you remember it very late that day, right?" I also told you that your sister went to find Miss Wen, and I don't know if I can borrow money. ”

Brother Zhang nodded: "Oh, yes, it's that day." ”

"I want to know that she is going to get back 50,000 yuan, I must follow her, so that 50,000 yuan will not disappear inexplicably."

"What did she take with her when she left?"

"A small box, I thought I was going to Miss Wen's house with a change of clothes, you must know that it is all valuable, how can you ask her to take it away."

"What are the valuable things you said?"

"Well, a string of pearl necklaces, such big South Sea pearls! It was left to her by my mother-in-law. Sister-in-law Zhang glared at Brother Zhang when she said this, "Hmph, eccentric." ”

Brother Zhang smiled wryly and spread his hands: "My sister used to be very favored. ”

"I see her jewelry box is missing, there should still be some silver bracelets, gold earrings or something."

Xiao Wu sorted out today's visit records, recalled the experience of Zhang's chickens flying and dogs jumping, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He can understand why these four young ladies have been friends since middle school, although they have different family backgrounds, they are all women who lack love and care.

He got up, opened the curtains and looked at the street lamps outside the window, thinking to himself where are these four young ladies in such a big Shanghai?

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be something on the windowsill, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a lizard.

The lizard's head was raised high, staring at him motionlessly.

Is it the lizard I saw at the gate of Dahua today? Xiao Wu couldn't be sure, this kind of lizard looked colorful, Xiao Wu wasn't sure if it was poisonous, thought about it, took out a cotton handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped it in his hand, grabbed the lizard and put it on the desk, the lizard was very well-behaved, lying on the desk, looking at Xiao Wu blankly. Its eyes are golden, with long, slender pupils in the middle. Xiao Wu said in a low voice: "Lizards, snakes, and cats all have such eyes. The light cold must be dazzling. ”
