166 Disappearances (6)
The grocery store proprietress was puzzled: "Can ...... Why does an old woman want a little girl? "I can't support myself, can I steal it and sell it?
Yeats looked at the proprietress and said, "You're her neighbor, what do you think?" ”
She ...... She ...... "The proprietress thought and thought, "I don't know when she goes to the vegetable market every morning, who knows when she steals the child and sells it!" ”
As soon as Hua Ding heard the words of the proprietress, he rushed to the old woman's door as if he was crazy, but was stopped by Teng Chong and others.
Yeats whispered, "Quiet." ”
Sell it?
She looked coldly at the dark hellish courtyard, and took a deep breath, "Teng catches the head, call the door." ”
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the moment of seriousness came, Teng Chong immediately straightened up, brought the catchers to knock on the door, "Open the door...... Open the door...... Dali Temple Case ......"
After calling, waiting for the people inside to respond, in the cold wind and night, it suddenly calmed down, only the north wind passed through the alley, and the sound of whistling came into the ears, unconsciously making people's hair stand firm.
Pei Jingning looked at Yeats, who had been staring at the courtyard gate, and saw that her face was tense and ready to go, as if she could catch the evil devil with her bare hands at any time.
For a while, there was no movement at all in the courtyard gate, and Teng Chong turned his head.
Yeats nodded.
Teng Chong responded, stretching out his hand and waving, "Climb in." ”
"Yes." The yacha who was in charge of climbing in Kuaili immediately climbed over the dilapidated wall, pulled the bolt from the inside, and opened the courtyard gate.
Zhang Jin stood on both sides of the door with two special lanterns, and the lanterns of the four offices were suddenly bright, illuminating the inside and outside of the courtyard.
I don't know when, the people in the alley have gathered in front of the grocery store, all silently looking at this stinky courtyard with the door closed all the year round, even in the cold winter, the smell inside with the door open to the people.
"Ah......" The people at the front couldn't help but cover their mouths and take a step back.
Inside the courtyard gate, in front of the dilapidated wall photos, there are piles of broken mats, weeds, bamboo poles, and food scraps, which is simply a garbage dump.
Yeats turned his head, "Wait a minute, my lord! "Meaning, you don't go in.
I don't know why, the scene of the crime that is obviously very serious and may even have a murder, Pei Jingning wants to laugh a little, his little lady thinks he will dislike it?
No, he didn't go in, it had nothing to do with this at all, but now it was her main battlefield, and he was just waiting for her to go down.
Zhang Jin saw that Yeats was about to enter, and waved his hand to let the little man holding the lantern open the way with him, and Yeats, Teng Chong and others quickly followed.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, the Hua family and his wife wanted to follow up, but they were blocked by the catcher who stayed at the door, "Lord Ye didn't order, so you can't enter for the time being." ”
Inside the courtyard, there was a lot of movement at the door, and it was impossible not to get up unless the really deaf couldn't hear it.
Zhang Jin took a knife and bent down to step on the garbage all over the floor to find the room where the old woman slept, and when the lantern was held high to illuminate the room, she was sitting on the edge of the shop, looking at the visitor indifferently with a pair of cloudy old eyes.
As a criminal investigator, I have seen not a thousand murderers in the case I have taken, but there are also eight hundred, but the eyes of the old woman still shocked Yeats.
When he first entered the house, when the lantern was not yet raised, the light was dim, as if he saw a pair of eyes without eyeballs, Yeats couldn't help but tremble, and when he quickly held the lantern high to welcome the light, Yeats realized that the old woman seemed to be suffering from cataracts, the lesion covered the pupils, and the whites of the eyes and the kernels of the eyes became one, like a little ghost without eyeballs.
Such a situation should have seriously affected her life, and it is not easy to boil eggs and sell them.
But this thought passed, and Yeats immediately asked Teng Chong to search for the little girl, and she herself followed.
This is a courtyard with one entry and one exit, and it is not a problem to live in five or six people, but now there is a woman and a child, and it seems very empty.
Just when Teng Chong assigned people to go separately to investigate, Yeats came to the next door where the old woman lived, and there was a casserole on a shabby small square table in the middle of the room, and there was leftover soup in it, and the soup sweat was dripping inside and out.
At some point, the yellow dog that had stared at Yeats in the garbage dump came in, wagging his tail and gnawing on the bones scattered everywhere on the ground.
Seeing this, the blood on Yeats's body instantly seemed to freeze.
Didn't the proprietress of the grocery store say that she occasionally buys some pigs to go into the water?
Do pigs have bones in the water?
She held back her trembling hands and picked up a piece, even if it wasn't in the light, she could see that it was a human toe bone, and her tears flowed instantly.
In fact, at the moment when she looked at the dog, she had a guess, so she was sure that the little girl had been killed, but when it was confirmed, she still couldn't bear it.
"Teng Catcher ......"
Teng Chong was searching other places, and just found the children's clothes scattered on the ground, and was thinking about whether the clothes were picked up by the old woman, when he heard Yeats's trembling cry, he was startled and hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong?"
Yeats took a deep breath, "Here! She pointed to the bones scattered here and there on the ground.
At this moment, the dog was arrested and almost restrained, not allowing it to gnaw on the bones, and it barked urgently: "Wangwang......"
Teng Chong was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyes in disbelief, "What do you mean, Xiao ...... She...... Eaten by this old godly woman making soup? ”
It's terrifying, it's terrifying.
Yeats took a deep breath again, "I guess it's not a first offense, hurry up and ask how many children have gone missing in recent years." ”
"Yes." Teng Chong glanced at the old woman next door who was still sitting calmly on the edge of the bed, God, why don't you accept this old immortal who killed a thousand knives.
Yeats exhaled, wiped away his tears, came out directly, and quickly walked to Pei Jingning's side.
Pei Jingning bent down and lowered his head as if he had been working together for a long time, listening to her whisper.
"My lord, hurry up and call Yan Yanzuo, and tonight may be busy until dawn, or you can go back first."
Pei Jingning waved his hand, "Did you hear that?" ”
Bai Lang immediately nodded, "Understood." "Immediately turn around and make arrangements.
The onlookers in the alley were so frightened by the seriousness of the government that they didn't even dare to breathe, could it really be that the old woman who sold braised eggs every afternoon killed the smart and lovely Miao'er?
But why? The Hua Ding clan has occasionally rescued her, can she still take revenge?
Yeats didn't know what the people thought, and she didn't care if Pei Shaoqing went back or not, she turned into the courtyard again, let people light a lot of lanterns, and conducted a carpet search with the catchers, and after a while, she found Miao'er's head under the grass pile in the utility room, and the little girl's frightened eyes were not closed.
Yeats covered her eyes with one hand and closed her eyes with the other, rest in peace, little Miao'er, I hope that I will never meet a wicked person again in my next reincarnation.
