The sun sets in the west, the dusk falls, the clouds in the sky fade, and the sky gradually changes from gorgeous crimson to a dark purple.
Zhang Moyan was driving, and Xiao Xingyu was leaning comfortably against the co-pilot as he checked his phone. From time to time, the navigation would prompt a left turn ahead or a speed check. Most of the time, the car was very quiet.
Driving a manual transmission car is a big challenge for Zhang Moyan. Constantly shifting gears is a joy for men, but for women it is a troublesome task that requires more energy. Fortunately, Xiao Xing
Yu seemed to know that she needed to concentrate on driving, so he didn't interfere with her much, which was a tacit understanding.
The distant horizon gradually blends into the night, the lights of thousands of cities pass by on both sides of the road, and the vehicles merge into the traffic returning home, making people feel inexplicably warm and at ease.
A ringtone broke the silence. Xiao Xingyu answered the phone and sat up straight from his lazy state without saying a few words.
"Have you called the police?"
"What? You have to be missing for 24 hours before you can accept it!"
"Okay, we will be there soon, you look for it first!"
After hanging up the phone, before Zhang Moyan could ask, Xiao Xingyu said: "My little aunt is missing!"
Zhang Moyan was so shocked that her heart twitched: "Missing?"
"Well, Lin Yin picked her up after school and asked her to do her homework. An hour ago, Wang Ma discovered that she was missing."
Zhang Moyan didn't say much and quickly changed gears and stepped on the accelerator: "Then I'll drive faster!"
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Xiao's house. When the two got out of the car, Uncle Chai and Xiao Mumu walked out of it.
"Have you found the person?" Xiao Xingyu greeted him.
Xiao Mumu: "Not yet! I just contacted the school. Now the school guard is patrolling the teaching building. We are worried that the child went back to school to get something and was locked in. We are preparing to go there!"
Xiao Xingyu said: "Okay, are there any places where she might go that I haven't looked for yet?"
"Everyone is looking for the place we should be looking for. Oh, right, right!" Uncle Chai tapped his temple, "I haven't found the park where she likes to catch fish. Why don't you go to that park now and look for the security guard?
You can go in!"
"Okay! I'll go check it out and keep in touch at any time!" Xiao Xingyu patted Xiao Mumu, turned around and walked towards the car.
Zhang Moyan followed him, but Xiao Xingyu paused and took the car key from her hand: "Moyan, if you are not familiar with this place, you should stay at home and see if there is anything you can help with at home." p>
Zhang Moyan still wanted to hold on, but Xiao Xingyu said: "I understand. Be obedient. If you get lost, everyone will have to look for you."
Zhang Moyan thought so and stayed at home.
Everyone in the Xiao family has basically gone out to find the little aunt and grandma, and there are not many people left.
In the living room, Sun Li grabbed her cell phone and called the little aunt's grandma's classmates one by one. Xiao Guotao, Xiao Huai's grandma Yan Mei, and Lin Yin, who was holding a potato, were listening, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
.
"Where has this child gone? It's really worrying!" Yan Mei hit her thigh with her fist, "How could he be lost at home?"
At this time, Sun Li hung up the phone again and shook her head in disappointment: "I didn't find this classmate."
Xiao Guotao walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "You guys are just too spoiled to her. You all tolerate her just because you think she's fun, and you raise her to the limit! Now it's good, you ran away from home when things didn't go your way!"
”
The Xiao family's courtyard wall is ridiculously high, and the door is always closed. It can only be opened from the inside out, so the possibility of bad guys coming in and abducting the little great-aunt is basically ruled out. Her disappearance can only be caused by walking out on her own. p>
Sun Li sighed: "I asked, no one went against her will and made her unhappy today. The teacher also said that everything was normal in school today and she was praised in Chinese class. I don't know what happened to this child.
...Lin Yin, if you think about it again, when you brought your little great-aunt back, was there anything unusual about her along the way?"
Lin Yin pondered slightly and shook her head: "No."
Everyone turned back in frustration. Zhang Moyan did not move and caught Lin Yin glancing at her.
"What can we do about this?" Yan Mei sighed: "This child's parents are abroad and he was handed over to us. We are responsible!"
The air pressure in the living room was extremely low. Zhang Moyan deliberately sat next to Lin Yin because of that look, but Lin Yin did not find a chance to say anything to her as she expected.
Could it be that I have made a mistake?
After a few minutes, Little Tudou suddenly started crying. Sun Li asked Lin Yin to help prepare milk powder. Zhang Moyan quickly helped her hold the baby and followed her to the kitchen.
Zhang Moyan hugged Tudou and walked around her. Seeing that the other party still had no intention of talking, he had to ask her directly: "Lin Yin, just now Sun Li asked you what was wrong with your little aunt and grandma after school. I noticed that you looked at me.
, I want to ask, is there anything related to me?"
Lin Yin stopped spooning milk powder and thought for a moment, her voice always soft: "It's nothing, I think it has nothing to do with you."
"?" Zhang Moyan stared at her blankly, "What has nothing to do with me?"
Lin Yin hesitated and turned her back.
"Lin Yin," Zhang Moyan said, "What did you think of? If you don't tell me, I will always feel uneasy."
Lin Yinning hesitated for a moment, checked the door and window to make sure no one was there, and then said: "When my little auntie was out of school today, I told her that Lang Hong had returned, and she was so happy. But I think, such a happy thing and
It shouldn't matter if she ran away from home..."
Zhang Moyan nodded. From a logical point of view, this is unlikely to be related.
In the blink of an eye, it was past eight-thirty, and the news that came back one after another was that the little great-aunt had not been found yet. More than three hours had passed since they discovered that the little great-aunt was missing. Seeing that it was getting later and later, the anxiety of the Xiao family began to escalate.
.
Xiao Xingyu went to the police station after unsuccessfully searching in the park. Lin Yin and Sun Li actively sought forwarding help in their circle of friends, while the others expanded the search area, no longer limited to the places where the little aunt and grandma usually go.
The people staying at home were so anxious that they began to think wildly. They were worried that she would be abducted after going out, and they were worried that she would accidentally fall into the river after dark. Xiao Guotao called everyone who was looking for them and paid attention to these two directions.
, Sun Li also asked whether this kid was deliberately playing tricks on adults, but was actually hiding somewhere in the house to watch adults’ jokes.
Everyone felt that this was a possibility, so they immediately started a carpet search in the Xiao family compound.
The lights in each yard were turned on, and voices calling for the little aunt and grandma were heard one after another. As time passed, Zhang Moyan felt that the little aunt and grandma would not be at home. In fact, from the moment Lin Yin talked to her just now, she felt a faint feeling in her heart.
I had an indescribable feeling, as if I could guess where my little great-aunt was.
But how could she possibly guess what that kid was planning?
She was confused until she walked into the room where she watched ghost movies with her little aunt, and she suddenly had an electric shock of inspiration!
That day, the little great-aunt threw Lang Hong in Zhenyunxuan and put the blame on her. She didn't expose her and even took the blame for her. The child didn't apologize to her, but she probably always felt guilty in her heart.
Reminiscent of the day they watched the ghost movie, the little great-aunt took her to see the forbidden place. At that time, she was scolded by the little ghost and said that she wanted to know what was in the house in the forbidden place...
Zhang Moyan's heart was pounding in his chest.
Now she can't be found in all the places where the little great-aunt often goes... Then, could she have gone to the forbidden area of the Xiao family?
Zhang Moyan turned around and ran out. She immediately wanted to tell everyone her guess, but when she got out of the door, she suddenly stopped.
The little great-aunt said that it was a forbidden area for the Xiao family. Except for Xiao Guotao, Xiao Weijiang, and Xiao Weiqiu, anyone else who went there would be punished by the ruler!
She didn't believe it at the time, but now that she thought about it, the Xiao family had gone to so many places to look for it, and it seemed that no one had ever mentioned this forbidden place.
No one thought to look for such a close place. Does this mean that the Xiao family believes that this place is a place that no one can go to?
Do you want to tell the Xiao family about this guess?
Who should I tell?
Xiao Guotao? Sun Li? Lin Yin?
Xiao Guotao is already old and cannot climb mountains at night.
I don’t know if Sun Li and Lin Yin are included in the Xiao family, and Sun Li has to take care of the children, and Lin Yin’s body is similar to Lin Daiyu.
If we wait for Xiao Weijiang and Xiao Weicheng to come back, it will take half an hour at the earliest. If the child is really on the mountain, in such a dark night, many sinister things may happen in half an hour.
Also, if they ask why they think the little aunt and grandma are there, will it mean that the little aunt and grandma broke Lang Hong and Xiao Xingyu performed a secret trick for Jiang Dazhu to exchange porcelain for Lang Hong?
The most important thing is that this is just her guess. In a hurry, many people rushed over and the little aunt was not there, so how would it end?
Maybe many people will be punished with the rod.
Zhang Moyan frowned and weighed all the aspects, and finally eliminated the least expensive way, which was to explore it himself.
