Finally, the dragon boat race ended, and Shen Hua felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach.
Immediately adjust your breathing, then peel a piece of candy and put it in your mouth.
Hmm, that feels much better.
After playing for a while, she got hungry again, and there were many food options around, making it difficult for her to choose.
"Oh no! My child is missing!"
"My child is gone too, my child, my child."
"My granddaughter is missing. She was just here a moment ago, and now she's gone. Please help me find her."
Shen Hua looked towards the source of the sound and saw that among those who had lost their children was the old man who sold sachets.
The little girl who sold her the sachets has disappeared?
She was so focused on the boat that she didn't notice anything unusual on the shore, and now she feels nothing at all.
If it weren't for the crimes committed by ordinary people, those children would probably not be here anymore.
"Wah wah wah~"
A short while later, the sound of police sirens was heard, indicating that someone had reported the incident.
Everyone stood still and didn't move, knowing that the police were coming to investigate and they couldn't disturb the scene.
Soon, the police surrounded the area and began patrolling.
Some people saw the children catching fish at a corner of the river and then never returning, while others went to watch a performance, where the children were gathered around a statue.
The old man's granddaughter was named Xiaoxiao. She was always selling sachets in the crowd. One time, the old man noticed that she hadn't returned for a long time, so he looked around but couldn't find her, and that's when he panicked.
After reviewing the locations, the police concluded that it was a gang operation and they needed to immediately access all available surveillance footage.
The longer it drags on, the more threatening those children become.
Shen Hua saw Officer Liu among them; he was also investigating.
Shen Hua was worried about the fox. She sensed it and found that it was heading in her direction, so she stood still and waited for it.
A few minutes later, the fox hugged her leg.
Chen Hua squatted down and asked it, "Fox, what happened?"
The fox nodded and said, "My dear niece, let me tell you, just now there was an ugly thing that tried to grab me, but I burned it to ashes with a single burst of fire."
Chen Hua: ...
It seems it encountered something just like those kids, but this little brat was supposed to be low-key, so why is it being so reckless?
"Has anyone seen you breathe fire?"
"No, it was just me and that ugly thing at the time. It wasn't just ugly, it also smelled bad."
At that moment, Officer Liu saw the two of them and walked over.
"Is Lu Qi alright? This place isn't safe."
"Uncle Liu, Lu Qi just encountered the same thing. It wasn't that it was clever and escaped."
They didn't mention at all that the thing had been burned to ashes by the brat.
When Lu Qi saw that his eldest niece didn't say anything, he understood the reason behind it and omitted this part when he spoke.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, let me tell you, that thing is ugly and smelly. It's like a fish that's been dead for several days, and it's extremely fishy."
Officer Liu frowned. "Looking at the surveillance footage again, if there are no clues, this is no ordinary matter and needs to be handled by special personnel."
Having learned of these circumstances, he needed to verify them quickly and then contact the relevant person immediately.
"You two should leave quickly. Don't be outside alone before dark. Uncle has things to take care of, so I won't be going with you."
"Yes, Uncle, go ahead and do your work. We'll take care of it."
After Officer Liu left, Shen Hua stood there with Lu Qi, unsure whether she should get involved in the matter.
