Chapter 053 (Update 1)
Lin Shuyue's words were like a bolt of thunder that shocked Lou Fengqin. "Ah Yue, who is that person? Where did you see him?"
Lou Fengqin held Lin Shuyue's hand tightly.
Bai Pingping was two years old when she was lost. Now fifteen years have passed and she is seventeen years old. From the day she was lost, Bai Wenhua embarked on a journey to find his daughter. Over the past fifteen years, he has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The more remote and backward the mountains were, the more often he went there.
He has rescued countless abducted women and helped countless families find their relatives, but for many years, he had no news of Bai Pingping.
Hope is so slim that every time a family looking for their child finds their child, Bai Wenhua feels happy but also sad for a long time.
If Bai Pingping was in Pengcheng, then what would all the suffering he had endured over the years mean?
"Last night, at Wangjiang Villa." Lin Shuyue had a complicated expression. When the Mucang shooting happened last night, many people were frightened and stood there in a daze. Lin Shuyue, Ye Xueyu, Wu Dongyan, and He Yuling had hidden in the billiard room while trying to get these people to hide. Bai Xuanting was squatting in the corner of the billiard room at that time. With a quick glance, Lin Shuyue saw the teardrop-shaped black birthmark on the inside of her thigh.
In Wangjiang Villa, it was not uncommon for men to abuse and beat older women. Lin Shuyue did not take it seriously at the time and just thought it was a bruise caused by being pinched.
Now that I think about it, it's not right. Bai Xuanting was wearing a suspender skirt yesterday, and her body was clean and white. Apart from the thumb-sized teardrop-shaped mark, there were no other scars on her body.
"It's the inner side of the right thigh, Ayue, this is not a joke, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Lou Fengqin confirmed again.
Lin Shuyue thought carefully and nodded: "Yes, it's on the right leg."
Lou Fengqin's face turned pale in an instant. Since Lin Shuyue became a reporter, she has paid much more attention to newspapers than before. She buys all the reports written by Lin Shuyue, cuts them out and puts them in an album as a collection.
Although Lin Shuyue didn't say it, she also knew where Lin Shuyue went during the time when she disappeared from time to time. Especially this time's incident at Wangjiang Villa!
The events of Wangjiang Villa were widely reported in the newspapers, and her daughter, who had been away on a business trip for more than ten days and had not been seen for more than ten days, came back! ! She didn't dare to think about it.
She took out her cell phone and called Bai Wenhua with trembling hands.
Bai Wenhua was counting inventory in the store. When he heard what Lou Fengqin said on the phone, his head buzzed and he ran out before he could react.
When he hurried to Lin Shuyue's house, he had calmed down.
"Ayue, what's the name of the girl you saw, and where is she from?" He spoke anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Her name is Bai Xuanting, and she was the Hong Kong beauty pageant champion two years ago. She is a native of Pengcheng, and I saw her at Wangjiang Villa last night. I have just called my friend at the Public Security Bureau, and she now lives in the Dongfang Community." Bai Xuanting also went to the physical examination last night because she was Qin Da's female companion. After the examination, she was called in for questioning by the criminal police. After the questioning, she was taken back to her residence by her parents.
Bai Wenhua did not drive over. His car was parked in front of the supermarket. He was in no condition to drive, so Lin Shuyue was the one driving.
Pingsha Village is not far from Dongfang Community. This community was newly built in the past two years. It has a good location, good facilities and good greening. There are not only commercial buildings in the community, but also independent
Small villa.
Bai Xuanting's home is in the back row of villas in the Dongfang community.
According to Ye Xueyu's address, Lin Shuyue knocked on the door of room number three in the row.
Soon footsteps were heard from inside, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties. The moment Bai Wenhua saw him, his face changed drastically.
The middle-aged man also saw Bai Wenhua, and he subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Lin Shuyue quickly stopped him.
The middle-aged man tried hard to close the door, but he couldn't do anything. He could only look at Bai Wenhua with a wry smile: "It's Ah Hua, why are you here?"
Bai Wenhua looked at the middle-aged man and wanted to laugh, but couldn't: "Brother Wu, I moved my job to Pengcheng. I asked Ping for your address and will come to visit you soon."
After hearing what Bai Wenhua said, the middle-aged man pushed the door a little softly: "Is that so? I didn't know you came to Pengcheng to develop. What are you doing now? Are you still opening a supermarket? Where is it?"
Before Bai Wenhua could reply, a middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the house: "Who's here? Why did you stay open for so long and not go back?"
The middle-aged woman's expression didn't change when she saw Bai Wenhua outside the gate.
"Is this Ahua? I haven't seen you for many years. Come in and sit down. Awu, you are so annoying. Why didn't you let Ahua in when he came?" The middle-aged woman greeted Bai Wenhua enthusiastically and winked at Bai Wenwu.
Lin Shuyue and Lou Fengqin followed Bai Wenhua and walked into the house with the middle-aged woman.
The villa is very large. The yard alone is more than 40 square meters. The walls are planted with flowers and plants. As you enter the house from the front door, you will see a bright living room. The living room is beautifully decorated, and there are priceless world-famous paintings hanging on the walls.
Bai Wenhua was led by the middle-aged woman to sit on the sofa. On the coffee table in front of the sofa was a family photo. Bai Wenwu and the middle-aged woman were surrounded by three children, two sons and one daughter. The daughter was not Bai Xuanting, but a little girl of about twenty-one years old. She was wearing a princess dress that was obviously worth a lot of money and a crown inlaid with diamonds on her head.
The middle-aged woman asked Bai Wenwu to make tea while she chatted with Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin.
Her tone was familiar and she knew a lot about Bai Wenhua's affairs. The first thing she said was to ask when Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin's wedding would take place. This sentence made Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua look at each other.
Bai Wenhua is the only son in the family and was raised by his mother. After Bai Pingping was lost, Bai Wenhua's wife died first, and Bai Wenhua's mother also passed away a few years later.
In recent years, Bai Wenhua only goes back to worship his ancestors during Qingming Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and does not have close contacts with the people in the village.
The middle-aged man is named Bai Wenwu. He is Bai Wenhua’s cousin from the same village. Although they have the same surname and are considered older brothers, their relationship is almost five generations beyond the fifth degree of mourning. Unlike Bai Wenhua, Bai Wenwu came to Shenzhen at the beginning of reform and opening up. It can be said that Bai Wenhua has no contact with him.
So the question arises here, why is Bai Wenwu so familiar with the relationship between Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin?
It hasn’t been long since Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin confirmed their marriage! Only Bai Wenhua’s two close cousins know about Baiwu Village, where Bai Wenhua’s hometown is!
Lou Fengqin smiled and said, "I'm not planning to do it now. I'll wait until after the New Year."
Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin are both remarried. There is affection between them, but they are both old and no longer have the impulsiveness of their youth. They were not planning to hold a wedding, but that did not stop Lou Fengqin from using it to trick Bai Wenwu's wife Qian Shouyun.
Qian Shouyun didn't realize that her question had exposed herself. She continued to ask, "Oh, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year. Then you must tell us during the Chinese New Year. We have many relatives in Pengcheng, and they will be able to support you then."
"Of course, of course." Lou Fengqin's smile never changed. "Third sister-in-law, right? Wenhua always mentioned you to us, saying that you have been very successful in recent years. Look at the decoration of this house. It's not cheap, right?"
Speaking of this house, Qian Shouyun's smile widened a little: "Yes, the decoration and furniture alone cost about one million yuan. Many materials were shipped from other places."
Lin Shuyue sat on the single sofa next to her and listened to Qian Shouyun bragging. Although I don't know what Qian Shouyun does, the housing prices in Dongfang Community are at the ceiling level in Pengcheng. The most expensive housing prices in other places are only more than 4,000 yuan per square meter, while the housing prices in Dongfang Community start from 5,500 yuan. This villa covers an area of at least 280 square meters, and the price of the unfinished house alone is over one million.
Lin Shuyue had also seen Bai Wenwu just now, and he wasn't someone with great abilities. Then the question arises again, where did Qian Shouyun's family get the money to buy the villa and the one million yuan for decoration?
According to Qian Shouyun, they bought the villa two years ago and just renovated it and moved in last year. Lin Shuyue looked down at her hands, veins popping out on the back of her hands.
Two years ago, Bai Xuanting disappeared after winning the beauty pageant.
Lin Shuyue could figure out with her toes how Qian Shouyun and Bai Wenwu bought the villa.
Lin Shuyue turned on the good and evil radar. Within the 200-meter radar range, there were a total of three people besides her, Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua. The Qian Shouyun in front of her had a sin value of 40%, the other was Bai Wenwu, with a good and evil value of 30%, and there was another one whose good and evil value did not exceed 10%.
She glanced at the direction where Bai Wenwu disappeared, and then stared at the coffee table without Bai Xuanting on it for several times. Then, after Qian Shouyun boasted about how many orders his son's factory had and how much money he made in a month, she suddenly said, "Auntie, I haven't been to such a luxurious villa. Can I take a look around your house?"
Qian Shouyun was a little unhappy when she heard Lin Shuyue interrupt her bragging, but she immediately became happy again when she heard Lin Shuyue praising her luxurious house.
"Okay, then go shopping." Qian Shouyun waved his hand generously. Lin Shuyue stood up and walked slowly from the first floor to the backyard as if she was strolling around. The good and evil radar showed that Bai Wenwu and another person whose good and evil index did not exceed 10% came to the backyard.
Lin Shuyue guessed that it was Bai Xuanting.
Lin Shuyue walked and strolled. The backyard was also full of flowers. Climbing roses covered the entire wall, and the colorful flowers competed for beauty. The only house in the backyard was a tin greenhouse located in the corner.
Lin Shuyue quietly approached the greenhouse. She listened carefully, but there was no sound in the greenhouse. Lin Shuyue raised her head to look at the second floor of the villa, and the curtains on the second floor moved without wind.
Lin Shuyue lowered her head and looked around every corner as if she was really appreciating the flowers. At the same time, he picked up his mobile phone and typed quickly on the keys to send a message to Lou Fengqin.
As if she had admired it enough, Lin Shuyue praised as soon as she entered the door: "Auntie, your backyard is so well decorated. The roses are blooming and climbing up the wall. What kind of flower is planted on the ground? The purple one."
"It's dahlias. I like to grow flowers the most. All the flowers in front of and outside the yard were planted by me. I don't have many hobbies, and this is one of them."
Lou Fengqin had already seen the text message, so she said goodbye at the right time. Qian Shouyun tried to keep her, but in the end he had no choice but to send the three of them away.
After walking out of the door, Bai Wenhua punched the wall next to the villa.
He said: "My Pingping was kidnapped around the Tomb-Sweeping Day." According to the customs in the Guangdong and Guangdong regions, the Tomb-Sweeping Day is a big event and it is very lively. Generally speaking, people who are working or traveling away from home will go back home.
That is why there are so many people in the town near my home around the Qingming Festival. There were also cases of children being abducted at that time. It is precisely for this reason that Bai Wenhua has always focused his search for Bai Pingping on human traffickers.
Lin Shuyue said to Bai Wenhua: "Mom, Uncle Bai, come with me."
Lin Shuyue led the two of them around to the backyard, and then climbed up the banyan tree beside the backyard. She came up just in time. The curtains of the room she had just looked at were drawn open, and a beautiful girl was standing beside the bed. Bai Wenwu had his back to her and was speaking something intensely.
She seemed to notice that Lin Shuyue was looking at her. She looked in Lin Shuyue's direction, and after seeing Lin Shuyue's face clearly, she smiled at her.
