The old Taoist hugged the little girl tightly. Even though he had been traveling around since he was young and was used to seeing life and death, his mental endurance was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
But the little girl in his arms still couldn't help but have red eyes.
Children are pure and clean, so their joys, anger and sorrows are also the easiest for people to empathize with.
When a child full of innocence cries so sadly in front of you, no one can remain indifferent.
The girl was still sobbing, and the old man hugged her tightly and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Cry, cry. When you are tired of crying, just sleep and you will be fine. You can see your mother in your dreams." The old Taoist said in a hoarse voice.
I know that the usually eloquent Taoist has no words to comfort this child now. He can only let her fall asleep when she is tired from crying.
I never expected to see this scene. I stood at the window and took a deep breath, then turned around and walked to the door and squatted down.
The little girl's crying continued, and the sobs made me feel very uncomfortable and awkward.
I took out the cigarette, lit it, and then took a long puff. I felt a slight sting in my chest and let out a long breath.
The girl's cry didn't last long. Before I finished smoking a cigarette, the little girl's voice stopped.
The poor child cried for too long today, and now he has no strength and falls asleep.
"Boss, are you here?" At this time, the old man walked out of the room and sat next to me.
The big black dog walked up to him and gently rubbed his leg with its head.
The old Taoist smiled bitterly, raised his hand and patted the big black dog's head gently.
I took out a cigarette and threw it to Lao Dao, and said to him, "Tell me what's going on."
The old man reached out to take the cigarette, then lit it for himself, exhaled a puff of thick smoke and said, "Her name is Shanshan, and she has known me for several years.
In the beginning, our relationship was just a flesh-and-blood transaction, but as time went by and I got in contact with her, I gradually got to know her. She is not a bad girl. Although she is in this kind of business, she is really a good woman.
, I was forced to take this path."
I listened quietly without speaking.
Women who work in this industry are certainly not considered good women in the eyes of outsiders, but nothing can be generalized.
There are many women who are really forced.
"She is thirty-six years old this year. When she was young, she met a scumbag. She married to Jishui despite her family's objections. They got married and had children. However, the man was a scumbag and did not do his job every day. He often beat and scolded her, and he had no money.
Just force her to come out and do this business,
In order to earn money to raise her children, she could only accept it silently. After all, this was the man she chose, and she could only knock out her teeth and swallow him.
But that man was really a scumbag. He took all the money he earned from selling his woman and squandered it. He even left no money to buy milk powder for his daughter.
Fortunately, that scumbag got his comeuppance and was killed in a car accident five years ago.
His death was a good thing for Shanshan, because it finally freed her from the sea of suffering.
In order to marry that scumbag, she ignored the opposition of her family and even made her father so angry that she became seriously ill and died. Her mother severed ties with her, so she couldn't go back to her hometown.
She is a weak woman with little education and little strength. In order to raise her daughter, she has been doing this kind of business ever since. She was really forced."
As the old man spoke, he took a heavy drag on his cigarette and shook his head gently.
I nodded. The old man has known this woman for several years and should know her well, so what he said should be true.
That woman is really a pitiful person.
The saying that a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man is really right.
"How did she die?" I asked the old man with some doubts.
Although a woman who makes a living in this kind of business lives in a dark corner, she probably won't have any deep grudge against anyone.
Just now the little girl said that her mother was stabbed to death. Who has such a hatred for her?
Love killing?
It's somewhat impossible. After all, a woman was so badly hurt in her last marriage that she shouldn't have any expectations for love anymore. Her only thought now is to raise her own woman.
For money?
She is a woman of nearly forty years old, and has a child. She has probably spent almost all the money she earns, so the possibility is not high.
"Well, it's two of her fellow villagers, a couple, who came to Jishui a few days ago and were kindly taken in by her to stay here for a few days.
Who knew that the couple was a pair of beasts who specialized in kidnapping and selling children. When they saw her daughter, they had a twisted idea and planned to snatch her away and sell her.
This scene happened to be seen by Shanshan who was returning home, and then the man killed her.
But even if she died, she would hold her daughter tightly.
The noise was so loud that it alerted the surrounding neighbors, so the pair of bastards did not succeed, but ran away in panic."
I nodded, then looked at the old man with a sad face, and asked him: "You should have a good relationship with her, right?"
The old Taoist smiled bitterly, then nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of me boss. I've known her for a few years and we understand each other. Shanshan is a good woman. People say that actors are ruthless and bitches are ruthless."
, I have seen a lot of experience.
But Shanshan is really different from those women. She is a kind and kind woman. She has been very kind to me over the years. I also think she is very good. In fact, I have thought about letting her quit this profession, and then
Followed me.
Alas, it’s just that before I had time to tell her, she was already like this.”
The old Taoist kept sighing and shaking his head as he spoke.
I stared at Lao Dao, a little surprised.
In my eyes, this guy Lao Dao is just a casual person. He has seen through everything. When he has needs, he comes to the alley to solve them. He will not be tempted by women at all.
Unexpectedly, he was not only tempted, but also thought about marrying this woman.
It seems that this woman is really different in the heart of the old man, but it is a pity that she is dead now.
"Has the murderer been caught?" I asked the old man.
The old Taoist shook his head, and then said: "When I arrived, the police had already left. Those two scum escaped and were not caught at all."
I nodded, then took out my cell phone and called Xu Yang and briefly talked about the case.
Xu Yang told me that his team was not responsible for this case, but he knew that the murderers had absconded in fear of being convicted. The team was now searching for them, but so far no trace of them had been found.
I hung up the phone and asked the old man, "Do you know which room that couple lives in?"
The old Taoist pointed to the west wing and said, "That's the one."
I stood up, walked over, gently opened the door and looked inside.
There was no furniture in the room, just another bed with a very messy quilt, wads of toilet paper on the floor, and even a few used condoms.
The whole room was filled with a disgusting smell.
I frowned and took a step back slightly.
The things inside should have been left behind by the man and woman, so that would be easy to handle.
I waved to the big black dog.
The big black dog quickly walked up to me, wagging its tail.
"Go, smell it, and then help me find out where they are now." I said, pointing to the condoms in the room.
Upon hearing my words, the big black dog was obviously stunned for a moment, and his face was a little distorted.
Although it looks like a dog, it is a ghost king-level existence after all, and is much smarter than ordinary people.
After coming to the earth for so long, the big black dog knows exactly what that thing is and what its use is.
Now he actually wants to smell this thing, which makes the big black dog find it a bit unacceptable.
However, it only hesitated for a moment, then walked into the room and sniffed the cover hard twice.
"Wow!"
After sucking twice, the big black dog couldn't bear it any longer, opened its mouth and immediately vomited.
"Boss, what do you want?" Lao Dao stood behind me and asked with some uncertainty.
"Of course I found that bitchy couple. Anyway, I have nothing to do now." I shrugged.
I'm not a nosy person, especially those who have nothing to do with me.
But this matter is different. The dead woman was Lao Tao's old sweetheart. Lao Tao is mine, so I have to take care of this matter.
Another reason is that the little girl's crying just now really made me feel distressed and made me feel that I should do something for her.
The big black dog shook his head and walked to the door, then vomited all over again.
I looked at it and felt a little sorry for this guy. This time I really wronged it.
It is really outrageous for a majestic ghost king of the underworld to do such a thing.
"Remember the taste?" I lowered my head and said to the big black dog.
The big black dog raised his head, looked at me with a resentful look, and then nodded heavily.
"Okay, then take us to find them." I said to the big black dog.
Hearing my words, the big black dog walked to the door first.
I thought for a moment, walked to another bedroom, and put my hand on the forehead of the sleeping little girl.
The sleeping little girl's face was full of tears. Although she was asleep, she was still sobbing.
I sighed, mobilized the power in my body, and a black yin energy entered the little girl's forehead.
Lao Dao and I were going to find that couple, but we were gone for too long.
The little girl was so frightened today that she must not be able to sleep well, so I did this to help her sleep more soundly, at least to ensure that she would not wake up before dawn.
After doing all this, Lao Dao and I followed the big black dog out.
