Chapter 117 He was the one who killed Jingjing in the show!
When Shen Qingye and others hurried over, they saw Song's mother's eyes were red. She was holding the hand of the person in charge of the scenic area and saying something in tears.
They came closer and heard her say:
"I woke up and found that the child was gone. At first I thought her father had taken her away, but when her father came back, I realized that he had never seen the child at all!"
"We panicked and searched everywhere nearby, but we still couldn't find the child! The child's mother was busy working outside, and we didn't see her either. This place is so small, where could she go?"
Song's mother kept crying. Shen Qingye and others understood the basic situation and were also shocked and suspicious.
Fell asleep and woke up to find that the child was missing?
The person in charge of the scenic spot is also very worried at the moment. The child is missing. This matter can be a big deal or a small matter. If the child ran away by himself, it would be fine. What if...
He hurriedly asked, "When did you fall asleep? Are you sure the child was asleep at that time?"
Song's mother wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sure, I fell asleep because I saw her fall asleep!"
Qu Peiyun, who looked haggard in an instant, also said: "It was around three o'clock. My mother and I coaxed the child to sleep before we left."
Boss Li asked, "You went out? Where did you go?"
Qu Peiyun said: "I have been fishing at the pond not far behind. I just came back and found that the child is missing."
Boss Li frowned, "Are you sure the child was asleep at the time? Didn't she run away on her own?"
Song's mother shook her head desperately: "No, no! Jingjing is timid and she is not familiar with this place. She doesn't dare to go out casually!"
Boss Li asked again: "Do you know when the child died?"
Song's mother said in panic: "I, I don't know. It was almost five o'clock when I woke up. The child was not with me at that time. I really don't know exactly when she died..."
Boss Li asked, "You didn't hear any noise in the room after you fell asleep?"
Mother Song cried and shook her head: "No, no, if there was any movement, I would definitely wake up!"
A tourist who lived in the same building as the Song family also said, "We didn't notice any noise. The first floor seemed to be quite quiet this afternoon."
They specifically asked for the first floor because it was convenient for their children to play in the yard.
Song's mother became more anxious when she heard this: "Boss Li, you have to help us find her. My child is gone. Where could she have gone? She is only five years old. Where could she have gone?"
Boss Li felt bitter, but he still comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, I've asked the security guards and staff of the scenic area to help you look for him, and we've called the police. Don't worry, the child may have just run out to play by himself, and he doesn't know the way, so he may be back soon!"
Song's mother cried and complained: "But she is usually very well behaved and not very timid. How could she go out alone......"
But if she didn't go out alone, how come that person didn't show up?
Song's mother didn't dare to think too much, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
Boss Li looked around and called out, "If you have nothing to do, come and help look for her. Maybe the little girl is trapped somewhere and can't come back. We can see her now while it's still light!"
The onlookers were all warm-hearted and agreed one after another. Song's mother wiped her tears and pulled her daughter and son-in-law to look for him again, but when she exerted force on their hands, Song Runing stopped where he was and did not move.
"Ru Ning?" Song's mother looked back at her with a puzzled look.
Song Runing finally made a move. She raised her eyes and looked at Qu Peiyun quietly: "Have you really been fishing all afternoon?"
Qu Peiyun was so anxious that he was busy looking for the child. Hearing this, he blurted out: "Of course, I went out after Jingjing fell asleep, and I didn't come back until just now--"
Song Runing interrupted him and asked, "Can anyone prove it?"
"There are so many people fishing by the lake..." Qu Peiyun's voice stopped abruptly. He seemed to realize something, turned around, and looked at her in a daze: "Song Runing, what do you mean?"
Shen Qingye and others originally wanted to help find someone, but when they heard the noise, they stopped and looked over.
The people around him also behaved in the same way.
Song Runing looked indifferent: "The lock of Mom's room has not been pried open, and Jingjing never goes out to play alone, so how did she disappear?"
Qu Peiyun looked puzzled: "So you are doubting me?"
"Do you suspect that I took Jingjing away?"
Song Runing said: "Otherwise, how can I explain what I just said?"
"Song Runing, are you crazy?" The usually good-tempered man finally showed anger on his face: "What's wrong with you?"
"I know you're worried because Jingjing is missing, but can you please be reasonable and conscientious when you speak?"
"Let's not talk about the fact that I was fishing by the pond after Jingjing fell asleep, with so many people watching. Let's just say that I'm Jingjing's father, why would I hide her? What's my purpose?"
Song Runing said calmly: "You have always wanted a son, but Jingjing is a girl."
Hearing this, Qu Peiyun laughed in anger: "Just because I once mentioned that I wanted a son, do you think I would do this to my daughter?"
He looked incredulous, with a hint of irony and self-mockery: "Song Runing, is this how you think of me all these years?"
Song Runing's face turned pale: "I don't want to doubt you, but you accompanied Mom and Jingjing back, and you also have the key to their room--"
Qu Peiyun was furious and said, "If that's the case, don't you have plenty of time? Mom was asleep and I was outside. Who knows if you took the child away without anyone noticing?"
Song Runing was shocked and said, "Jingjing is my daughter. I gave birth to her after carrying her for ten months. Why would I do such a thing?!"
"Then what reason do I have to direct and perform this drama myself?" Qu Peiyun's eyes were red, and he raised his voice: "It's true that you gave birth to Jingjing after ten months of pregnancy, but did you take care of her after giving birth to her? Since she was born, I have been responsible for feeding her milk, changing her diapers, and feeding her complementary food. Which of them was not done by me?"
Qu Peiyun's voice trembled, and he gestured with his hands in front of his chest: "She was so tiny when she was born, and now she is taller than other children of the same age. In the past five years, I have spent all my thoughts on her, watching her grow up little by little, worrying about her height and weight - and you? What have you done? What else do you do every day besides working? Do you know that she drinks a glass of milk before going to bed every day? Do you know that she has a doll that she holds every night when she sleeps? Do you know that she likes puppies and has always wanted a pet? You know nothing! With just a few words, you deny all my years of hard work?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and wiped away his tears. The people around him started to discuss louder. Mother Song was panicked and anxious, and quickly pulled her daughter away: "Xiao Ning, what are you talking about? Xiao Qu is almost dying of anxiety, how can you say such a thing?"
She begged, "It's my fault. I was sleeping too deeply and didn't notice it. It's my fault. Please stop arguing. Please stop arguing..."
Boss Li on the side also said: "Alright, alright, don't blame who is right or wrong now, the most important thing is to find the child quickly! Don't delay, go quickly!"
Qu Peiyun looked at Song Runing deeply, said nothing more, turned around and ran away quickly.
Song Runing's face turned pale. He stood there for a long time before he stumbled and walked quickly in another direction:
"Jingjing, Jingjing, where are you? Jingjing, can you please come back soon? Mom is wrong. Mom shouldn't be so busy with work all the time..."
"Jingjing, Jingjing, come out quickly. Grandma promises she won't be angry!"
"Song Jingjing? Song Jingjing?"
"Song Zhiyi, did you hear that? Song Zhiyi..."
......
When people in the scenic area learned that a child was missing, they went out to help look for the child. Shen Qingye and others also spread out and contributed their efforts.
But after ten minutes, twenty minutes... the search team grew larger and larger, the sun was about to set, casting a golden glow on the lake, but there was still no news of the child.
Everyone was not optimistic at the moment. The scenic spot was not small, and it was not big either. So, if a child really ran away by himself, how far could he run? It's not possible that so many people haven't found it for so long.
But what if she didn't run away by herself?
Shen Qingye's brows sank slightly, and he had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
After searching for another half an hour, the local police station arrived and joined the search team, but when it was already getting dark, everyone gathered together to exchange clues, but still no one had found the child.
There was not even a single thing belonging to the children.
Song Runing's face was pale and he was holding onto the wall, almost unable to stand. Qu Peiyun looked even more miserable. It was unclear whether he had tripped or bumped into something. His entire body was dirty, and his usually warm face was now expressionless.
It was the evening, with the temperature only in the early twenties, but Boss Li was sweating all over.
He wiped the sweat off his head and said in a deep voice: "We have searched the area within two or three kilometers around the scenic spot, but there are still no clues. Now we can either look for it further away, or..."
He paused and looked up at the hillside not far away: "Look over there in the back hill."
Shen Qingye looked at it from afar, his expression slightly dazed.
There are many mountains near Shiliang Town, and they are in a continuous trend, but generally they are not very high, with the highest being only about 100 meters. In order to develop tourism, most mountains have been developed. There are a few mountains that have no development value and are just left there.
Shen Qingye looked around, and his gaze finally slowly fell on a small hill behind the tourist accommodation area.
This small hill is just behind the accommodation area. It is estimated to be no more than 50 meters high, and the mountain is gently sloping. There are no obstacles except the woods in the mountains.
The most important thing is that there is a small forest at the foot of the mountain, not far from the accommodation area. If Jingjing was really taken away from the room by someone, then it is very likely that the other party took advantage of the cover of this grove and went straight up the mountain.
Apparently everyone had thought of this, and they scattered and went up the mountain from the foot to continue searching.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky became darker and darker. Just when it was almost too dark to see the road, Shen Qingye was hesitating whether to go down the mountain first, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked down and saw that it was a tourist who had left her contact information before. They agreed to inform each other if they had any clues. She quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"
"What, found it?"
Shen Qingye looked happy, but before he could say anything, his heart suddenly sank when he heard the other party's words: "What did you say?"
......
On the back of the mountain, a group of people gathered together. Some were too timid to look at the scene on the ground not far away, while others could not bear to look directly at it.
Shen Qingye bumped into Yue Lingchuan who was rushing over. They looked at each other, pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.
What comes into view is a glaring red.
"Sister..." Gao Ruiyang's trembling voice sounded in his ears. Even though he had seen corpses countless times in books, documentaries, and movies, the real feeling was completely different from that separated by a layer from the screen.
Especially since the other person was the one who was talking and laughing with me not long ago.
Shen Qingye looked at the small figure lying on the ground and closed his eyes tightly.
Yue Lingchuan put his arm around her shoulders, as if to comfort her.
The three members of the Song family who received the news also rushed over. The moment they saw the body, Mother Song’s eyes went dark and she fainted. Song Runing also felt his hands and feet go weak. If there hadn't been someone to support him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
Qu Peiyun's face was blank: "Jingjing...Jingjing?"
He stumbled towards the corpse, and finally knelt heavily on the ground. With trembling hands, he slowly reached out to the small body, his eyes red: "Jingjing, look at Daddy, look at Daddy!"
The man's tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, his voice was hoarse and sad, and it carried an endless despair that moved everyone who heard it, and his tone was full of sympathy.
Shen Qingye stood aside, listening to the voice beside her, then slowly raised her eyes to look at the grief-stricken man, and felt a chill on her back:
[Ahhh, don’t believe him. Don’t believe him! He is acting! It was he who took Jingjing away, and it was he who threw Jingjing down from the mountain! It was him who killed Jingjing, it was him! ! ! 】
