Chapter 423: Looking for Mickey (8)
"How about this, let's meet this boy first and see if he is the Mickey we are looking for." Heath said.
"They haven't finished school yet," said Mrs. Hood.
"Then let's wait at the school gate and take a look at this boy first," said Heath.
As they spoke, several policemen stood up and followed Mrs. Hood to the school to pick up the child and identify him.
The distance from Hood's home to the private school in the city is quite far.
"I pick up the children from school every day," Mrs. Hood told the police.
Half an hour later, the car approached the school, and the school bell just rang...
The school gate was bustling with traffic. Heath and Liu Shan got out of the car and walked to the school gate. The children jumped out of the school gate and fell into the arms of their relatives who had been waiting at the gate like birds.
Soon, a little boy and a little girl came out of the school gate hand in hand. When they saw Mrs. Hood, they shouted happily:
“Mom, Mom!”
The girl was tall, clearly half a head taller than the boy. She had black hair, black eyes, and fair skin, like her mother. However, she looked thin, and her complexion was pale, not in good health.
The boy was a chubby, handsome boy, like a doll. However, standing next to the girl, he seemed a little insecure and self-conscious. No matter what he did, his eyes always glanced at the girl first...
"Children, school is over!" Mrs. Hood squatted down and happily hugged the pair of beautiful babies. Her face was full of love and concern. She kept asking them about their lives, showing her motherly gentleness and kindness.
Liu Shan stood aside and observed carefully. The boy looked the same as Mickey in the photo, except that he was a little thinner.
"That's him! This must be the Mickey we are looking for!" Liu Shan thought to himself.
"But how can I bring this child back to my country as I wish?" He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Let's go home." After a while, Mrs. Hood stood up, holding a child's hand, and took them into the police van.
"Mom, why are we riding in a police car today?" the girl asked.
"Oh, Mom is out on business today and isn't driving, so I asked the police officer to help take you home," said Mrs. Hood.
From beginning to end, Mrs. Hood was a quiet woman. She simply went about her business, never interjecting. This embodied the cautiousness of a good wife.
Although they had confirmed that the child was Mickey, the police couldn't just take him away rashly. After all, the boy had lived with Hood for a while. Only by convincing him could they take Mickey away, Liu Shan realized.
"Captain Liu, why don't we first find out what their family's attitude is towards this Mickey?" said Gu Dun.
"What do you mean..." Liu Shan asked in confusion.
"Don't be fooled by their words that they are good to children. We don't actually know how they treat Mickey. Why don't we do a preliminary investigation... Haven't you noticed? Mickey is very unconfident and has to look at girls' expressions for everything." said Gu Dun.
Gu Dun's suggestion reminded Liu Shan.
"You're right! Let's take action tonight." They had dinner early, then borrowed a car from Heath and drove to Hood's house.
The Hu De family's courtyard was large. If one stood at the front door and looked inside, one couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the villa. So, Liu Shan and Gu Dun went to the north side of the courtyard closest to the villa, quietly climbed over the wall, and hid by the window to eavesdrop and watch...
The restaurant on the first floor is brightly lit.
The family seemed to be sitting around a long table having dinner.
However, judging from the seating arrangement, there seems to be something strange——
Dad sat in the main seat—the center at the northernmost end of the long table;
Mom sat at the first guest seat—the western side of the long table;
The girl sat at the second guest seat - the east side of the long table;
But the boy was sitting far away from the three of them.
In front of him, there was only a soup bowl with some soup in it.
In front of the other three people was a sumptuous dinner - roast chicken, black pepper steak, grilled prawns...
