Chapter 13 Doudou

The time came to October.

The weather is cool and the locust leaves are turning yellow.

At 8 a.m. on Monday, the Anning Road Police Station held a regular meeting.

In the conference room, the police officers all wore long-sleeved uniforms.

They all looked heroic, wearing beige tops, army green trousers and dark green ties around their necks.

Wei Yong told everyone something: the verdicts of Huang Zhiqiang, Jia Huhua and Qiu Tianqin have come out.

Huang Zhiqiang was convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to death, with deprivation of political rights for life;

Jia Huhua and Qiu Tianqin trafficked in children and abused them to death. Their behavior was extremely heinous and they were sentenced to death and deprived of their political rights for life.

These two cases are two serious criminal cases handled by Anning Road Police Station this year. Naturally, they have attracted widespread attention. The motive and process of the murder are clear, but no one knows how the court will ultimately rule. Now that they knew that killing someone means paying with one’s life and that evil will be punished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“You deserve it!”

"Being abandoned is pitiful, but is that a reason to kill? No!"

"Huang Zhiqiang usually looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. The dismemberment case, wow..."

"That evil couple died a good death. They deserved to be killed."

"Oh, your own son died young, so you steal someone else's son and kill that little baby? Ugh!"

"Jia Huhua claimed that she had a mental illness and could not control her behavior. Fortunately, the serious case team was very observant and found an expert to conduct an appraisal, exposing Jia Huhua's lies."

"Yes, Qiu Tianqin argued that he was only an accomplice and that the murderer was Jia Huhua. However, the forensic examination results showed that many of the injuries on the deceased's body were caused by him. He has no way to escape!"

At this point in the discussion, Sun Xianbing, Yu Jing, and Xia Mufan exchanged glances, and a thought popped up in their minds at the same time: Criminal police, so awesome!

Wei Yong coughed, took out a medal and a certificate, and announced with a smile: "Comrade Xia Mufan from our police station has performed outstandingly in this missing child case and has made new contributions. The Municipal Public Security Bureau has awarded him a third-class individual merit. Here are the medal and certificate."

Xia Mufan didn't expect the Municipal Bureau to reward people so quickly, and he stood up quickly.

Colleagues in the police station are familiar with each other, so there are not so many rules to restrict them. Sun Xianbing took the medal, looked at it left and right, and couldn't see enough of it.

Yu Jing was also very curious. He took the certificate from Wei Yong and read it aloud.

Other colleagues in the police station all sent their congratulations and praises.

"Xiao Xia is really amazing. He has only been working for a few months and has already won the third-class individual merit."

"This year, the police station that the people are most satisfied with has to be our Anning Road!"

"Last time, Xiaobao's parents sent three silk banners, one of which read "Women are as good as men", which was specifically for praising our Xiaoxia."

Xia Mufan pursed his lips and said, "It's all thanks to everyone."

Everyone laughed when they heard Xia Mufan being so humble.

Sun Xianbing was so idle before that his bones were rusted, but now he can participate in two major cases, which makes him very satisfied. Even though he didn't get the medal this time, he was proud of it: "With Xiao Xia here, our case team will have something to do, which is great."

Yu Jing added a joke: "If there is a case in the future, call everyone and our police station will strive to win another collective merit!"

Suddenly, the police station meeting room was filled with laughter.

Wei Yong glanced at Xia Mufan and felt a little surprised.

I still remember that when Xiao Xia first came to the police station, he had a rather cold personality, spoke little and was not expressive. Unexpectedly, after following Yue Yuan to handle two cases, the thorny nature of his personality seemed to have subsided a lot, and he got along well with his colleagues.

Sure enough, only by constantly participating in actual combat can one grow rapidly.

Wei Yong took out a big award certificate and said: "Comrades, we assisted the serious crime team in solving the missing children case. Although the municipal bureau did not award us a collective merit, it issued a certificate. Our Anning Road Police Station was awarded the title of an outstanding collective for the National Day."

This is a rare collective honor, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.

When things were getting busy, there was a burst of dog barking at the door of the police station.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The screams were sharp and rapid, suppressing the laughter in the police hall.

Sun Xianbing walked out of the gate and let out a "Yoho".

Yu Jing followed and looked at the teddy bear with brown curly hair and a small tuft on its head. He sighed, "Doudou? Why did it run away again?"

Old Qian joked, "It's over. Wang Lixia will probably call the police again soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mufan came over like a gust of wind, squatted in front of Doudou, who was still barking, and said sternly, "Don't panic, take your time."

[Help, help——]

Doudou stared at Xia Mufan with her big wet eyes, tears filling her eyes.

When the police officers at the police station saw this scene, they were stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Dogs can shed tears? That's really strange!"

"Did Wang Lixia abuse it?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't Wang Lixia treat it like a girl and treasure it very much?"

Xia Mushi looked at the trembling, uneasy Teddy dog, reached out his hand and stroked its head, saying softly, "Don't be afraid."

Strangely enough, with just this one action and two words from Xia Mufan, Doudou gradually calmed down, began to wag its tail desperately, and let out a low whimper in its throat. It was only one year old, equivalent to an eight or nine-year-old human child. It suddenly encountered an emergency and followed its past memories to find the police station and ask Xia Mufan for help, because it knew that only she could understand what it was saying.

[Mom fell to the ground.] 】

[There's no one at home.] 】

【Help--】

To others, Doudou's sobs sounded like a series of meaningless sounds, but Xia Mufan understood them. She stood up suddenly and looked at her teammates: "Wang Lixia is in danger, go and take a look."

After spending a few months together, Sun Xianbing was very convinced of Xia Mufan. Hearing what she said, he immediately became nervous: "Ah? Then go quickly."

Yu Jing's personality is relatively calm: "Xiao Xia, what's going on?"

Xia Mufan pointed at Doudou and said, "The dog is intelligent. It is asking us for help. Where does Wang Lixia live? Check it out."

Wang Lixia is a celebrity in the area, and the community police quickly reported her home address.

Wei Yong called the Xueyuan Jiayuan Property Management Center and asked them to send someone to Wang Lixia's home to check whether there was anyone at home and whether they were in danger.

Afterwards, Wei Yong glanced at Xia Mufan and said, "It's better to believe it than not. Although I didn't fill out the police report form, but... your case team should still come and take a look."

Yu Jing stood still: "Yes!"

Sun Xianbing and Xia Mufan followed Team Leader Yu, and the three of them went to Xueyuan Jiayuan together.

The conditions at the police station are average, with no cars, only police motorcycles.

Yu Jing was driving. Xia Mufan bent down to pick up Doudou, sat in the side seat, and placed it on his slightly bent knees.

Doudou was so anxious that he kept wagging his tail.

[Go quickly, go quickly.] 】

[There is danger.] 】

[Mom is in danger.] 】

The motorcycle was going very fast and Xueyuan Garden was right in front of us.

Looking at his watch, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Mufan's mind.

——The time now is 8:48. Doudou has short legs and runs slowly. It takes him about ten minutes to run from Xueyuan Jiayuan to the police station. Adding the time for communication and police dispatch, Wang Lixia should have fallen to the ground at around 8:35.

——Wang Lixia called the police twice and both times she was looking for Doudou. She became familiar with the police officers at the police station. Even Xia Mufan knew that she was a well-known wealthy woman in the area. She was rich, had free time, was lively and cheerful, and loved to joke. How could she be in any danger?

——Is it an accident or a sudden illness? Such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, asthma, allergies...

Doudou is still young, his intelligence is not fully developed, his speech is somewhat incoherent, and he barks for a long time without getting to the point. Even Xia Mushi, who could hear the thoughts of animals, felt that the situation was a little tricky.

"How did you get out?" Xia Mufan looked at the silly puppy in front of him.

[There is a dog hole next to the door on the first floor. 】

I often sneak out of the cave. 】

No wonder Wang Lixia called the police twice to look for her dog. Her villa had prepared an entrance and exit passage for Doudou, so Doudou could run out of the house at any time.

Wang Lixia lost her dog twice but didn’t learn her lesson. Why?

But it doesn't matter. Suppressing this doubt, Xia Mufan looked into Doudou's round eyes and asked patiently: "What did you see before you came out?"

[Mom drank the milk and said she felt discomfort in her chest. 】

[She fell down.] 】

I couldn’t wake her up. 】

"What milk?" Xia Mufan continued to ask.

[Someone delivers it every day.] 】

[Put in a glass bottle, drink with a straw.] 】

[It doesn’t smell good, it has a very unpleasant smell! 】

Xia Mufan frowned.

Problem with milk?

Someone poisoned?

The motorcycle was going very fast, and the whistling wind blew past his ears. Yu Jing couldn't hear what Xia Mufan was saying at all. He saw her talking to Doudou in a serious manner out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. well! Xia Mufan is questioning Doudou as if he was the one who called the police. Dogs can't talk, so what can she get out of them?

Xueyuan Jiayuan is only seven or eight minutes’ drive from the police station and can be reached quickly.

This is the most luxurious villa area within the jurisdiction of Anning Road Police Station.

It is bordered by Chenguang Avenue in the south and Jingui Mountain in the north. The community has green grass, big trees, rockery and flowing water, and the landscape is very beautiful. As soon as you enter the community, you can smell the sweet fragrance of osmanthus in the air.

Neatly arranged single-family villas, with courtyards surrounded by wrought iron railings, cover an area of ​​more than 800 square meters. The villa has three floors in total, with European architectural style, white Roman columns, red sloping roofs, large floor-to-ceiling balconies, and window sill relief designs. It was absolutely unique in Hui City at that time.

Every family spent a lot of money on decoration, especially the yard, where all kinds of precious and rare flowers and trees competed for beauty. Some also hired designers to create landscapes, fountains, gardens, stone slabs, paths...

It was dizzying along the way.

At the door of Building 6 in the West District, two security guards were ringing the doorbell.

Wang Lixia’s husband is named Zhou Yaowen, the president of a pharmaceutical company in Hui City. He is worth tens of millions, and his villa is beautifully decorated, even the gate is luxurious and grand.

The blue brick doorposts and the retro carved aluminum alloy door were locked.

Yu Jing stopped the car and asked, "How is it?"

A security guard spread his hands and said, "I pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door."

Sun Xianbing followed closely and asked: "Did you call?"

The security guard said: "I called home, but no one answered."

As soon as Xia Mufan got out of the car, Doudou rushed in and stood on the porch barking.

[Mom is in there!] 】

[Go in and save her.] 】

Yu Jing was still asking: "Have you contacted Wang Lixia's husband?"

The security guard shook his head: "No, we don't have the phone number of Zhou's head office."

Yu Jing said: "Which company is it? Check it out quickly!"

"Oh, okay." A security guard ran back to the property management center.

Yu Jing was about to contact the community police at the police station, but Xia Mufan made a prompt decision: "I can't wait any longer. I'll crawl in."

It was almost nine o'clock. No matter whether Wang Lixia was poisoned or had a sudden illness, we had to race against time. By the time the security guard found the phone and made the call, and by the time Mr. Zhou rushed back, the golden time for emergency treatment had long passed.

Yu Jing and Sun Xianbing had no time to stop him. Xia Mufan had already climbed over the railing of the courtyard gate and, as agile as a cat, he flipped in in a few moves.
