Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

Although the temperature is a bit cool today, since it is the end of the year, there are still many pedestrians on the streets.

Cao Haotian rode a bicycle and took Yu Li for a walk around the nearby streets for more than an hour.

Still haven't found Yu Haitang...

Although he knew it was futile, Cao Haotian had to accompany Yu Li to continue searching.

Afterwards, Cao Haotian rode his bicycle and took Yu Li to the state-owned shopping mall.

The two of them went through all the clothing areas on the second floor three times, but still found nothing...

In this way, Cao Haotian accompanied Yu Li from the afternoon to the evening.

Although the two were so tired that they didn't even have a sip of water, they didn't even find a hair of Yu Haitang...

"Yu Li, I think we can't find it. How about we call the police?"

Cao Haotian made another suggestion.

Yu Li said with a worried look on her face: "How about I go back to my parents' house first? Maybe Haitang has already bought clothes and gone back..."

"If we can't find her at home by then, we'll go ask Haitang's classmates. If we still can't find her, we'll call the police..."

Cao Haotian nodded in agreement.

So, he rode his bicycle and took Yu Li to her parents' home.

Half an hour later, Cao Haotian rode his bicycle to the courtyard where Yu Li's parents lived.

He was waiting outside, and Yu Li ran into the courtyard alone.

Five minutes later, Yu Li walked out of the courtyard.

She shook her head at Cao Haotian: "Haitang has never come back. I really don't know where she went..."

As she spoke, Yu Li began to cry.

Earlier, the scream outside the yard kept echoing in her mind.

Now, the harder it is to find her, the more Yu Li suspects that something has happened to her sister...

Cao Haotian comforted her: "Don't worry too much, Haitang is an adult, nothing will happen to her, maybe she went to her classmate's house to play..."

"Haotian, how about you accompany me to look for Haitang's classmate's house?"

Yu Li felt very sorry for wasting Cao Haotian's time.

Cao Haotian nodded in agreement.

He rode his bike again and took Yu Li to Yu Haitang's classmate's house.

Yu Li also knew some of Yu Haitang's classmates and their home addresses, so she was responsible for giving directions and Cao Haotian was responsible for riding the bike...

The two of them were busy for more than two hours and visited six classmates' homes in total, including He Yushui's home at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

But still nothing...

There was really no other way, so Cao Haotian had to take Yu Li to the police station near Ximajia Hutong to report the case...

"Comrade Public Security, my sister is missing..."

Yu Li cried and told the police the details of what happened before and after Yu Haitang disappeared.

After filling out the police report, Cao Haotian and Yu Li, accompanied by two public security comrades, returned to the courtyard of No. 6 Ximajia Hutong.

The two public security comrades carefully questioned every household in the alley.

Some residents in the courtyards No. 5 and No. 7 told the police that they did hear the woman's screams at the time.

But when I walked out of the courtyard, I didn't see any girls aged 18 or 19, nor any other strangers in the alley...

We worked until late at night but still found no clues.

However, after investigation by two police officers, they found a clue that was of little use.

That is, in the entire area, there is no classmate of Yu Haitang.

This proves that Yu Haitang lied...

When I returned home late at night, Lou Xiao'e had already prepared dinner.

But Yu Li didn't eat a single bite. All she could think about was where her sister Yu Haitang had gone.

Cao Haotian and Lou Xiao'e continued to comfort her, and Yu Li finally ate half of the steamed bun.

Seeing that Yu Li was in a bad mood, Lou Xiao'e generously asked Cao Haotian to go to the backyard in the evening to accompany Yu Li.

In this way, Lou Xiao'e slept alone in the main room in the front yard.

Cao Haotian and Yu Li slept in the backyard.

"Even though we haven't found it after searching for such a long time, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. Maybe Haitang secretly took the money and went out to play alone..."

Cao Haotian continued to comfort Yu Li.

Soon, the two fell asleep...

……

The next morning, Yu Li got up very early.

She expanded the scope of her search, and asked every household in the area...

Similarly, Cao Haotian accompanied her in searching and asking questions.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Cao Haotian took time out to go to the steel rolling mill.

He gave Chief Zhao of the Security Department a piece of meat and two bottles of wine.

Afterwards, Cao Haotian found Guan Jun who was at work and told him that he had placed some festival goods in the yard and asked him to take them back to the village after the holiday.

After giving the instructions, Cao Haotian left the steel mill.

He did not return to Ximajia Hutong, but went directly to the courtyard where Guan Jun lived.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he quietly took some pork, white wine, cakes and fruits from the space and placed them in the house.

Then, he opened his mind to the extreme and observed the bed in the room.

To prevent Yu Haitang from leaving personal belongings on the bed yesterday afternoon...
