half thorns, half joy

At this time, No. 11 Linlan Road.

Xiao Zihan stopped the car, Cai Jinyu opened the car door and jumped out, walking quickly to the empty parking space.

"That's right here. Lin Qiaoer's car was parked here." Cai Jinyu gestured for the police who also came, "We got on the car from the door here, and the woman with the knife opened the door from the other side."

While recording, the police looked up at the surrounding surveillance cameras, and asked the people next to them to adjust these surveillance cameras.

After Cai Jinyu finished describing the situation at that time, he looked up and saw Xiao Zihan lighting a cigarette and standing against the wall. His heart sank, and he walked to Xiao Zihan's side and apologized, "Zihan, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Zihan glanced at Cai Jinyu, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"I'm sorry, I was too negligent, I didn't expect Lin Qiaoer to have a helper, I didn't expect her to be so mad, I..."

Xiao Zihan made a stop gesture, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Cai Jinyu, "Jinyu, why did you help Lin Qiaoer get Tang Xuan into the car?"

Cai Jinyu: "..." He vaguely brushed off the policeman's question, but he didn't expect to be able to fool Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan stared into Cai Jinyu's eyes, with a serious and serious expression, "You don't have a good impression of Lin Qiaoer, let alone listen to her arrangements, even if she really wants to tell Tang Xuan, just go and tell Tang Xuan yourself. Xuan called to get in the car, I don't believe you didn't feel something was wrong at that time."

"..." Cai Jinyu looked back at the police, seeing that the police were all questioning passers-by and nearby shops, and didn't look at this side, so he gritted his teeth in embarrassment and explained, "Lin Qiaoer, she... she used Linlin's bad …bad photos threatened me."

Xiao Zihan frowned, "What photo?"

Cai Jinyu looked away, "The photos with the man, she pretended to be friends with Linlin, framed Linlin, and threatened me with those photos, so I..."

"So you ignored Tang Xuan's danger and listened to her?" Xiao Zihan's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I'm sorry..." Cai Jinyu felt very guilty and regretful when things became so serious, "I can't risk Linlin's reputation, Zihan, I don't care about Tang Xuan, I think there is only Lin Qiaoer, no matter what happens, I will protect her Yes, I didn't expect... I didn't expect that there were others..."

Speaking of this, it is superfluous to say more.

Xiao Zihan heaved a long sigh, threw away the end of his cigarette, and heaved a long sigh.

Cai Jinyu was flustered by the sigh, and he quickly said, "Zihan, this is my fault, but don't be angry, when we find Tang Xuan and bring Tang Xuan back safely, why are you scolding me and beating me up?" Everything is fine, okay?"

"Forget it, it's not your fault alone, I'm also at fault." Xiao Zihan thought of what Lin Qiaoer said in the office, wanting to see how he would react after losing Tang Xuan.

If he had been more careful, Tang Xuan would not have been kidnapped so easily.

Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan stood silently, a moment later, the police came over and told Cai Jinyu and Xiao Zihan that Lin Qiaoer's car was found.

"Where is it?" Xiao Zihan stood up straight in an instant.

"Ganshan Road." The policeman looked solemn, "There are still some things to check the driving route of this car, let's go to the car first and have a look."

When Cai Jinyu heard that there was a clue, she immediately became nervous again.

"go!"

A group of people rushed to Ganshan Road, and Cai Jinyu saw Lin Qiaoer's car at a glance.

"This is the car!" Cai Jinyu walked over quickly, "That woman came from this side..." Before Cai Jinyu finished speaking, he saw the blood on the back seat of the car under the light of street lamps and police flashlights.

Suddenly, he became dumb.

Xiao Zihan, who was following Cai Jinyu, also saw it.

Xiao Zihan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist.

"Back up." The policeman pushed Cai Jinyu away and began to collect blood. "There is a mask here, and it still smells like ether."

Cai Jinyu didn't dare to look at Xiao Zihan, his teeth were trembling, the spot of blood was exactly where Tang Xuan was sitting before.

At that time, the woman's knife rested on Tang Xuan's neck, and he didn't dare to think whose blood it was.

Xiao Zihan stared at the bloodstain for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked away a few steps, and dialed the phone.

"Zihan..." Cai Jinyu was taken aback by Xiao Zihan's reaction, followed and heard Xiao Zihan ordering people to go to Lin's house on the phone, and turned her head in panic to look at the police who were looking for clues.

Fortunately, those people didn't notice this...

……

Lin Qiaoer turned off her mobile phone and lay on the bed reclined. The child was tired from crying and fell asleep. She finally found a moment of peace.

She didn't know what was going on with Qian Susu's side now, she wanted to call home to ask if the family matter was resolved, but she was afraid of exposing herself, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

The men downstairs who were drinking beer and eating barbecue were talking loudly, and the noise crept in through the window. Lin Qiaoer listened, but her heart was silent.

She belatedly realized that her decision to kidnap Tang Xuan was really hasty.

Moreover, as time passed, she became more and more flustered and hopeless.

Lin Qiaoer closed her eyes and rested for a while, but she still couldn't calm down. She turned over and got up, took the room card and went downstairs.

Next to the barbecue stall downstairs is the canteen, there is a public landline at the entrance of the canteen, Lin Qiaoer picked up the phone and dialed the home phone.

The first time, the phone didn't get through.

The second time, still didn't get through.

The proprietress of the canteen looked at Lin Qiaoer suspiciously. Lin Qiaoer took out a red bill from her wallet, put it on the counter, and continued to make calls.

At the fifth time, the phone finally got through.

"Hello..." On the other side of the phone, Lin Qiaoer's mother's voice was very tired, revealing a little panic.

Lin Qiaoer suddenly became nervous and called out to her mother.

"Qiaoer? Qiaoer is that you?" Lin Qiaoer's mother raised her voice immediately.

"It's me, Mom, how is the situation at home? Is Dad at home?" Lin Qiaoer worried that her mother would not know the situation in the Xiao Group, so she asked tactfully.

Mother Lin was silent.

The silence made people flustered. Lin Qiaoer sensed something was wrong from her mother's breathing on the receiver, and asked nervously, "Mom, what happened?"

Mother Lin remained silent.

"Mom! Did something happen? Talk to me!" Lin Qiaoer was anxious and shouted.

The lady proprietress of the canteen looked sideways, and Lin Qiaoer glared angrily. The lady proprietress quickly turned around and pretended to tidy up the shelves.

"Your dad... just a few people came and took your dad away." After a while, Lin's mother struggled and said, "I haven't figured out what's going on, your dad told me about Xiao Zihan just a second ago. I was very happy to withdraw or something, but someone suddenly came."

Lin Qiaoer hung her heart high, "Who went? The police?"

"No, I don't know who it is." Mother Lin recalled the scene when a group of people broke into the house just now, and she still had lingering fears, "Qiaoer, should I call the police?"

"No, not yet." Lin Qiaoer said hastily.

Mother Lin was on the verge of crying, "Then what if you don't call the police? I think those people are quite fierce. I'm really worried about what they will do to your father."

Lin Qiaoer's mind was spinning fast. At this point in time, the person who went to the house to catch Dad should have something to do with Xiao Zihan no matter what he thought.

From this point of view, Xiao Zihan didn't call the police?But plan to solve it privately?

Lin Qiaoer was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard the siren after another, resounding through the whole block.Lin Qiaoer trembled with fright and almost lost the receiver.

"Qiaoer? Qiaoer?" On the phone, Mother Lin shouted at a loss.

Lin Qiaoer stared at the police car on the street, startled, and quickly said to her mother: "Mom, I'll contact you when I'm done. Don't panic."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

"You don't need to look for the phone bill." Lin Qiaoer pushed the 100 yuan on the counter in the direction of the proprietress, and walked out of the canteen without looking back.

The proprietress of the canteen followed Lin Qiaoer out of the store suspiciously, and watched Lin Qiaoer go to the hotel nearby, thoughtfully.

Lin Qiaoer stumbled all the way back to the hotel room, closed the door with a bang, and slid along the door to sit on the ground.

Those sirens kept echoing in her brain, making her scalp numb.

Lin Qiaoer sat paralyzed on the ground for a few seconds, then crawled up again, picked up the sleeping child on the bed, and left the hotel like a thief.

Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do next, but she knew that she couldn't stay any longer, and couldn't just sit and wait for death.

Just after Lin Qiaoer turned into an alley, she saw several cars parked in front of the hotel. Xiao Zihan, Cai Jinyu, and a group of policemen got off the car and walked into the hotel quickly.

Compared with the time when she just came out, it was only a few minutes before and after.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zihan found this place so quickly... Lin Qiaoer held her breath, and walked carefully along the dark alley with the child in her arms.

……

"Ah, I don't know who she is, and I don't know when she left." The girl at the front desk of the hotel was standing in the room where Lin Qiaoer lived just now, facing the police's interrogation, trembling with fear.

She was enjoying watching the latest TV series, but suddenly a group of police rushed in and said that the suspect was staying in the hotel.

"Turn out the surveillance camera in your store." The policeman pointed to the camera at the door of the store, "Just tune this."

The girl at the front desk shrank her body, scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "That camera...was broken a long time ago...it's just a decoration..."

When Xiao Zihan saw the milk powder and water on the table, doubts flashed in his heart.

Cai Jinyu saw it too, he and Xiao Zihan exchanged glances, stepped forward and asked the girl, "The woman who lives in the store is named Lin Qiaoer on her ID card, right?"

"Ah, yes, there are records." The girl at the front desk nodded, "Didn't you all read the records just now?"

"Well, you said she was holding a baby, right?" Cai Jinyu continued to ask.

"Yes." The girl at the front desk replied.

Cai Jinyu turned her head to look at Xiao Zihan, suppressed her irritated guesses, and asked, "Is it just her and the baby, is there no one else?"

The girl at the front desk nodded repeatedly, "No, there is only one woman with a child in her arms, and there is no one else."

The hotel business is not good, so the girl at the front desk still remembers this very clearly.

"It's probably because they separated. Lin Qiaoer took the baby, and that woman controlled Tang Xuan. They are not together," Cai Jinyu analyzed.

Xiao Zihan didn't say a word, he looked at the milk powder bag, lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "It seems that that woman hates Tang Xuan more than Lin Qiaoer, and she is the key person."

"It must be!" Cai Jinyu suddenly realized, "If Lin Qiaoer is the mastermind and she hates Tang Xuan to kidnap Tang Xuan, then she will definitely stay with Tang Xuan and use Tang Xuan to manipulate you."

This thought made Xiao Zihan even more afraid.

No matter how deep the feud between Lin Qiaoer and Tang Xuan was, it would not be fatal. Even if she got dizzy with anger for a while, she would gradually calm down afterwards.

But it was hard to guess where this strange woman came from, what she wanted to do, and why she attacked Tang Xuan.

Just when Xiao Zihan was burning with anxiety, his cell phone rang again.

Xiao Zihan immediately looked at the phone, and what was displayed on the screen was the phone number that the woman in front called him.
