Chapter 31 - Baishun Town

Chapter 31 Baishun Town

After returning to the hotel, Liu Qi couldn’t wait to run back to the master bedroom. Her phone was still charging at the head of the bed.

As expected, Yue had already sent her a message.

Detective Yue: “It’s too far away. Not much has been found out. I plan to make a trip to Baishun Town. If you’re interested, I can bring you along to take a look.”

Personally?

Liu Qi had never thought about it, but she really wanted to know how Zhao Ling was doing. Asking for help meant that she was being treated badly.

Cat Cat: “Okay.”

She was a person who kept her promises. No matter what, as long as she decided on it, she would definitely do it.

However, Shen Nanxiao was a little sad about this.

“Lan Lan, I’m going to stay at Liu Feng’s house for two days. Her cat has given birth, so I want to go and take a look.”

She told Lan Lan that she happened to know that Liu Feng had rented a house in North City. It was said that she moved out of the Liu family’s old house to program in peace. “Huh? Miss Liu, do you want to tell the Young Master?” Lan Lan couldn’t make the decision, nor could she stop Liu Qi from seeing her family, so she could only ask this question.

She smiled. “You tell him, and I’ll leave first.”

Run, run, run! Liu Qi ran straight to the door.

“Hey! Miss Liu! Bring the medicine!”

“Oh, okay.” Liu Qi picked up the medicine on the table and left in a hurry.

Looking at the closed door, Lan Lan didn’t know what to do, so she had to call Wu Feng.

“Hello, is it Assistant Wu…”

North City, Yunqi Corporation’s branch office.

Shen Nanxiao was in a meeting at the moment, so after receiving Lan Lan’s call, Wu Feng could only knock on the door of the meeting room.

“Come in.”

The people in the meeting saw Wu Feng come in, but no one said anything.

Wu Feng walked to Shen Nanxiao’s side, lowered his head, and whispered in Shen Nanxiao’s ear.

Shen Nanxiao was gradually frowning. “Go check.”

He wouldn’t stop Liu Qi from doing what she liked, but he was afraid of this little liar.

“Yes.” Wu Feng left the meeting room and quickly went to look for Liu Feng’s phone number.

At the same time, Liu Feng, who was programming in front of her computer, received a strange phone call.

She didn’t hesitate and directly picked up the phone to answer the call.

“Hello.”

A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone. Liu Feng was obviously suspicious after learning the identity of the person on the other end.

However, the more she heard, the more confused she became.

The cat she had had a few babies last month, but she had never told Liu Qi about it. However, Liu Qi didn’t tell her that she was coming to see the cat.

After thinking for a while, she said, “Yes, Ah Qi said she was coming.”

After hanging up, Liu Feng hurriedly called Liu Qi, and the call was quickly picked up.

Without waiting for the other end to speak, Liu Feng said impatiently, “Ah Qi, I don’t know what you’re doing. Shen Nanxiao’s assistant just asked me, and I covered for you. I hope that you’re not going to look for Nangong Shu. You and Shen Nanxiao are engaged. I hope that you can respect yourself.”

Liu Qi was speechless.

She had wanted to call Liu Feng to tell her… but she didn’t expect Shen Nanxiao to do it so quickly! Fortunately, Liu Feng helped cover for her.

“No, Ah Feng, I’m not looking for Nangong Shu,” Liu Qi quickly explained.

When she heard Liu Qi’s words, Liu Feng’s tone became much better, and she said, “Well, that’s good then. Come to me when you’re done. My address is in North City’s Taodong New District, Star River Garden District. Call me when you’re done, and I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay, thank you, Ah Feng.” After saying that, she heard a beep and hung up.

“Are you done? Get in the car.” Yue, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was obviously a little impatient.

This car was rented by Yue. After thinking for a while, Liu Qi decided to get in.

The car started and Yue suddenly said, “Zhao Ling is a first grade student. She was tricked by Jiang Feng and Yang Fan in February this year, and then she stopped attending school in April.”

Liu Qi thought for a while and asked, “Do you know why she stopped attending school?”

“It’s hard to say. There are many things in this small place that are difficult to investigate. We’ll only know when we get there,” Yue said.

Da’an District, Baishun Town, Xin Street.

The two of them stopped at the corner of the intersection. This was a remote town. The street was relatively clean, but there were few people on the street, making it seem a little desolate.

From here, they could see the front of number 29. It was a wine shop called Feng Xiang. A group of people were sitting at the entrance and watching a few people playing cards.

This was probably the most lively place on this street.

Yue Qi first took out her binoculars in the car and observed for a while.

“Do you see that? The one wearing yellow clothes and the one wearing a short-sleeved black silk shirt are Zhao Ling’s parents.”

Following the direction that Yue pointed to, Liu Qi saw two middle-aged couples with smiles on their faces. The husband was playing cards while the wife watched from the side.

She asked curiously, “This doesn’t make sense. If their daughter was persecuted, how could they be so happy?”

Yue didn’t reply to her but continued, “Do you see the little chubby kid playing with his phone in the shop? It’s their youngest son, who just started middle school.”

“Also, Zhao Ling’s QQ is logged in here, and the phone model is Xiaomi Mix2s. Logically speaking, Zhao Ling is here.”

Liu Qi nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we go down and ask?”

“We can’t ask her parents even if we want to. According to the chat records, it’s very likely that the later messages were sent by her parents.” Yue said as she pointed at an old man smoking alone on another street.

Liu Qi immediately understood Yue’s meaning and the two got out of the car.

The old man smoking was quite far away. When the two of them walked over, the old man had already smoked a roll of cigarettes and was rolling the next one.

“Sir, do you know Zhao Ling?” Liu Qi bent down slightly and asked the old man who looked slovenly.

“Zhao Ling?” The old man first looked at Liu Qi and frowned. “Yes, why are you looking for her?”

The old man spoke with a frown. His eyes had a guarded look.

“It’s like this.” Liu Qi tugged at Yue and said with a smile, “Sir, my sister is Zhao Ling’s classmate. She’s here to play with her.”

“Oh ~” the old man nodded, indicating that he understood. He lowered his head and continued to roll the cigarette. Then, he said regretfully, “Then you won’t be able to play with her. That girl is crazy. Her mother and father said that she’s mentally ill.”

As the old man spoke, he pointed behind them. “Their shop is the shop around the corner.”

Mentally ill?

Liu Qi subconsciously turned her head to look at Yue.

She heard the old man continue, “I heard that she went crazy after the Qingming Festival. I’m afraid that she saw something dirty and became haunted.” After saying that, the old man clicked his tongue regretfully.

Half an hour later, the two of them had asked many people nearby. Everyone said the same thing, which was that Zhao Ling had a mental illness.

At this moment, Liu Qi was heading towards Zhao Ling’s house. She was a little nervous and would turn around to look at Yue from time to time.

Yue made an OK sign to her.

Liu Qi thought for a while and began to walk towards the group of people. She planned to pass by the front door.

As she was wearing a silk white dress and her appearance appeared out of place in this small town, the people playing cards naturally noticed her.

A middle-aged man said in a low voice, “These city girls are all pretty. Their clothes are also fashionable.”

“Keep your voice down. Don’t let them hear you.”

At this moment, Liu Qi, who had already passed by the front door, suddenly turned her head and walked back. The group of people playing cards thought that she had heard them and wanted to argue with them.

Seeing Liu Qi getting closer and closer, not only was she nervous, but the middle-aged man who had just spoken was also nervous.

When Liu Qi reached the door, she walked to the chubby kid who was sitting by the door.

When the Zhao family’s couple saw this, they immediately stood up from the small stool.

“Jiacheng, so it really is you. I, your teacher, thought I was mistaken.” Liu Qi squatted down in front of the chubby kid. Her voice and her smile was also gentle.

When the little chubby boy’s mother heard this, she immediately relaxed. It turned out that this person was a kindergarten teacher.

The couple sent their son to a kindergarten in the city. This person who called herself a teacher did indeed look like a city person.

However, the little chubby boy looked at Liu Qi with a dumbfounded look. He didn’t remember that there was such a beautiful girl in the kindergarten.

Seeing the puzzled look on the little child’s face, Liu Qi was embarrassed and nervous. She quickly said, “What? You don’t remember Teacher Liu?”

After a long while, the chubby child didn’t respond. He didn’t remember any Teacher Liu. Instead, he became even more confused.
