night traveler

Driven from the bottom of his heart, he is a policeman, and he has an obligation to let the dead in the underground rest in peace.

"Ah, you are the uncle who asked me last time, right? So you are the policeman, I almost guessed it. You should come in and tell me, no one will notice you." The female clerk of the pearl milk tea shop smiled and said He led it in.

"The original store manager said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, so I put down the store. But now there are fewer and fewer customers. I entrust everyone to take care of the business. After the demolition and get the compensation from the government, I plan to reopen the store in a good location. "

"I want to ask about the child named Achu you mentioned. I didn't know much about it last time. I hope you can explain it. There is also good news. The child named Achu's full name is Qi Chu , most likely still alive."

"Still alive? That's great. I thought he had been killed. He disappeared suddenly, which made me very worried. In fact, he is a good boy. He is not greedy when he comes to me to eat. He is brought back to his companions." Well, let me think about his matter."

When the child came to the store to beg for food for the first time, the clothes on his body were still very clean. At first, she thought it was a child's prank, but seeing the child curled up and clutching his stomach, she gave him a piece of cake .

Then the kid came two more times.She asked his name, and the little boy said that his name was Ah Chu, and he was with a group of friends, so she gave him more food.The child said thank you to her.

Then that happened.The child hardly comes, probably because of fear.Because she didn't dare to leave work too late at that time, for fear of being attacked.

"So when was the last time you saw him?"

"Well... It seems like a month or so before the murderer was caught. I'm not sure. I saw a homeless man running away holding a little boy's hand when I was off work. I didn't pay attention. The child may It's him."

"Okay, I see, thank you for your cooperation."

"Well, and, uncle, if you see him, tell him that I've been worried about him,"

"I will. This is my phone number. If you remember anything, please call me." Hu Yafeng grabbed his coat and walked out.Although the sky outside is still very gloomy, there are always good-hearted people and light in this world.

A guest came in through the door. "Hey, Xiao Yu, bring me a cup of taro-flavored hot milk tea, and pack a portion of the coconut snack you made last time." The visitor lay down on the counter. "I just saw someone who seemed to be the police went out, did you get into any trouble?"

"Ah, no. He came to ask about some past events. Oh, by the way, do you remember that there used to be a small child, about this height, about five or six years old. He often came to our store to beg for food. Then there was a murder, and I never saw the child again, I thought he was killed. Only after hearing from the policeman did I find out that the child was still alive."

"Huh? Are you talking about a thin, but rather delicate one?"

"Yeah."

"When you said that, I remembered. I saw that child once, and it seemed that he was taken away by a man."

"Was it taken away by tramps?"

"No, it looks like he's wearing a suit. He's in his thirties like me. Maybe he's his father."

"Who knows." Yu Xiang put the packaged food bag on the counter, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a note with a number on it.She thought she should call Hu Yafeng.

"Who is it? Girlfriend?"

"No." Hu Yafeng hung up the phone. "It's the owner of the milk tea shop. She has clues for me."

"Then the boy you mentioned named Qi Chu is still alive?"

"I think the chances are very high. The boss just said that someone she knew saw the child for the last time, and it was taken away by a man."

"A man?" An idea suddenly popped up in Chang Hao's mind.

The two looked at each other.Will it...

Hu Yafeng took the lead and said, "Could it be that man is the murderer?"

"Very likely." Chang Hao looked serious. "I'm not sure, but this man is suspicious."

Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration if there were people with a lot of love, but the problem was that murders had already occurred by then, and corpses were discovered one after another.Who takes in street children?

"According to this result..." Hu Yafeng didn't dare to continue thinking. "Qi Chu was probably killed." If Qi Chu was really killed, then the clues would indeed be cut off, and their investigation would turn into a dead end.But the murderer did it on purpose to expose the fresh body of the deceased to the public. Perhaps Qi Chu's body has not been found because he is still alive?

And who is that man?

No... There is a lot of information in the recordings of the interview, but which ones are important that he has ignored?Now his mind is flooded with a lot of information, and his head is shaking.

"Hu Yafeng, Hu Yafeng? Are you okay, should you take a rest?" Chang Hao patted him on the shoulder.

It stands to reason that when collecting information, the subjective parts should be removed as much as possible, but Hu Yafeng felt that there was something hidden in the parts he excluded.He sat down quietly. "Brother Chang, let me think for a while."

"A lot of things happened in the neighborhood in those few years! There was a car accident, and I heard that a girl died..." "I saw a group of vagrants snatching a little girl's things before..." "The gang of little girls Babies are not a good thing. At that time, we had a little girl who was chased by them and was killed by a truck..." "As for why I remember... It seems that a man asked me about it before Come on..." Yes, if the car accident had something to do with the homeless children, then the person who shot at the orphans is likely to be the family members of the deceased.

He thinks he's a little bit crazy, just a coincidence, a wild idea that's popping up in his unfounded and overthinking mind.

[Ah, it's like being run over by a truck.The murderer actually destroyed the body like that, which is not something normal people can do. ]

What Chang Hao said before woke him up!

Feng Yulan lost two children, and usually looks normal, but she committed such inhuman things as child abuse.And what madness does a family who has lost a child, or the family of a loved one who died, do?Hu Yafeng felt that it wasn't that he was crazy, it wasn't that he was crazy, but that the world was crazy, and was swayed by an abnormal feeling of hatred.

He swept all the documents into a drawer, grabbed his clothes and rushed out.

"Hey! What are you doing, Hu Yafeng?"

"I'm going to check the car accident records in the city!"

Ding dong—Qi Chu ran to open the door.Zhong Changming should be back, it's rare to get off work so early today.

The door opened, and a man in a police uniform stood outside. He was shocked to see him at first, but his expression quickly eased.

"You are Qi Chu, I have something to talk to your father about."

The author has something to say:

Eighth night

"Chang Ming hasn't gotten off work yet. What can you do with him?" The young man looked vigilant.

"Can I go in?"

"Yes, please sit down."

"Actually, you should also know about this. When you escaped from the orphanage with other children, ten of them died at the hands of a murderer. I suspect that this murderer is..."

"Sorry, I don't know you. Although I was adopted by Chang Ming, I have never heard of any orphanage."

"Qi Chu, don't you doubt it? Why did Zhong Changming take you home? Did he deceive your companions in the same way? Meng Qing, Li Yu, Zhang Wangwang, Zhang Xiaoshan, Tang Yezi, Gao Fei, all It was the child who escaped with you from Feng Yulan, a nurse who abused children, but was brutally murdered. Have you ever thought about knowing who the real murderer is?"

"Mr. Police, I want to reiterate that I don't know anything about the orphanage, and Zhong Changming, who adopted me, is very kind to me. He has no suspicion of murder." Qi Chu's expression was calm.

According to the orphanage's registration information, Qi Chu is only 14 years old now, but his words don't look like a teenager at all, and his firm expression is not the normal behavior of a teenager when the police come to his door.Such behavior made him doubt the child's experience even more.He decided to go straight to the evidence. "Qi Chu, this is your photo on the registration information form of the orphanage. Let me ask again, do you suspect that Zhong Changming is the murderer who killed your partners?"

Qi Chu hesitated, and slowly uttered a word: "No."

"Have you witnessed Zhong Changming's murder?"

"No."

"Qi Chu, I understand your feelings, but you must know that Zhong Changming is indeed very suspicious. When you were wandering, you snatched a girl's things and indirectly killed Zhong Changming's daughter, so the deaths of your friends are very serious. It may be that Zhong Changming did it for revenge. Zhong Changming may be very good to you, but he is either out of compensation, or he treats you as his dead child. Qi Chu, your current thinking is very unwise. You put yourself in a dangerous situation. I know you still don't want to believe it, but if you find something suspicious, please tell me? This is my phone number." Hu Yafeng copied the phone number on a piece of paper , and handed it to Qi Chu.

"Understood." Although Qi Chu's attitude was still vigilant and indifferent.But Hu Yafeng judged based on experience that the child had been shaken.

Hu Yafeng stood up. "I'm sorry to bother you. Goodbye. Qi Chu, remember not to act alone. Call me if you need anything.
