Chapter 110: Forbidden Love 31
"Xu Xinghe, do you think this Lu Xiaohe was sold to a human trafficker?" Su Qingyun told Xu Xinghe her thoughts. She said, "In fact, she didn't die in the fire at all. It was just that the store happened to catch fire on the day she was sold. To cover up the truth, Grandma Lu said that Xiaohe was burned to death."
"Are you saying that it was sold by Grandma Lu?"
"Not necessarily. Her parents have never appeared in this instance. Of course, it's not ruled out that they were tricked and abducted by someone else."
Su Qingyun put the report down and continued to search. Xu Xinghe also joined in. Finally, the two of them found a miniskirt in the closet.
Su Qingyun compared it on her body and found that her waist was adult size. She looked at the skirt again and found that it was not only short but also had a rhinestone-studded belt on it, which was very fashionable.
"This skirt shouldn't belong to Grandma Lu and Lu Xiaohe. Grandma Lu is so old. Even if she was born fifteen years ago, she should have been fifty years old. A fifty-year-old woman would not wear this style of miniskirt. It's even more impossible for Lu Xiaohe. A ten-year-old child, no matter how well developed, can't have the height of an adult. Moreover, the physical examination report just now also stated that Lu Xiaohe is 1.42 meters tall and weighs 35 kilograms. So there were other people here when the fire broke out." Su Qingyun said.
Finally, she came to a new conclusion based on her own speculation, "Could it be that the mission we were sent here for is to find out who owns this miniskirt?"
As soon as Su Qingyun finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in her ears.
[Points Reward +1]
Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe strangely and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly give me a reward? Did you give me favorability points?"
"I wanted to give it to you too, but I also awarded points. I guess you guessed the task correctly."
Su Qingyun sighed helplessly and was not at all happy about this reward.
Xu Xinghe bent down and asked her what was wrong, "You seem a little unhappy."
Su Qingyun adjusted the respirator with her hands, thinking that she looked like a prehistoric creature wearing this thing, and Xu Xinghe could actually see that she was unhappy.
He paid too much attention to her.
She could only wave her hands and say she wasn't unhappy. "I just think this mission is difficult. This place is almost burned to ruins. How can I find someone with just a miniskirt?"
"Besides, this is a virtual illusion. There's only this one shop around. We can't find anyone even if we want to ask."
Xu Xinghe was very optimistic. He encouraged Su Qingyun, "Let's search more carefully. Maybe we can find other clues."
This is the only way now.
Su Qingyun composed herself, bent down and searched the closet again, even checking the pockets of every piece of clothing.
Finally, she found a small note in a coat pocket with a landline number written on it.
Su Qingyun dialed Zhu Yali's number using her cell phone, and the call actually went through.
"Hello, Jiahong Gas Company, what can I do for you?"
"This is store No. 15 on Hunze Street. Has anyone here called your company in the past few days?" Su Qingyun asked.
"Let me check," the operator said after a moment, seemingly typing away on a computer. "There's no record of shop number 15 on Hunze Street. Is there anything you'd like to inquire about?"
"No, just ask."
Su Qingyun hung up the phone and told Xu Xinghe, "It's the gas company calling."
The gas company may have had something to do with the store fire, but it probably had nothing to do with the owner of the miniskirt.
A useless clue.
They continued searching, turning over almost every piece of clothing in the closet, but found nothing.
The two of them moved to the desk.
The desk was in a worse condition than the wardrobe because it was right next to the bed. Half of the things on the desk were burnt, and the remaining items were covered in black ashes.
Su Qingyun reached out and dusted off the few remaining items, clearing away the ashes. At this moment, she unexpectedly discovered that one of the items was the porcelain cat that she had broken before.
Although the porcelain cat was dirty at this time, its eyes were surprisingly bright.
Su Qingyun took off her breathing mask and picked up the porcelain cat to face it.
She stared at the porcelain cat's eyes for a long time. Finally, she put the cat down and said to Xu Xinghe, "This porcelain cat was also given to me by someone else."
Just like the inkstone in the tin box.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the porcelain cat was not placed on the counter but in the resting area for the grandparents and grandchildren, I thought it was a fortune cat. But now I look closely, it's not a fortune cat, it's a piggy bank."
As she spoke, Su Qingyun showed the bottom of the porcelain cat to Xu Xinghe.
There is a rubber stopper at the bottom.
Su Qingyun removed the stopper, but no coins fell out.
Su Qingyun also knew that there were no coins inside, and when she picked it up, she didn't hear any sound of coins inside.
But there was definitely something inside. She reached out to explore, but immediately retracted her hand and looked at Xu Xinghe in shock.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a hand inside the porcelain cat's body, and it just touched me." Su Qingyun could even feel the temperature of its fingers.
This is so weird.
She quickly put the porcelain cat down and took a few steps back.
The air in the store slowly settled, and the pungent smell of burning disappeared. Xu Xinghe also took off his breathing mask, and he subconsciously protected Su Qingyun.
"Should we continue searching?" he asked Su Qingyun.
"If we don't search, we can't solve the illusion and return to Hunze." Su Qingyun stared at the porcelain cat. She was thinking about whether to smash it to find out the truth.
Finally, she gave up the idea and instead took the rubber stopper and plugged the bottom of the porcelain cat, then put it back on the table as if nothing had happened.
She opened the drawer.
There are many things in the drawer, including pens, rubber bands for tying hair, hairpins, dolls, and a small notebook with a small lock on it.
Su Qingyun picked up the notebook and tapped it lightly on the table, and the lock fell off.
She opened her notebook, which contained nothing but a postcard.
There was no words on the postcard, and it felt like it was given as a gift from the bookstore when I bought a notebook.
But Su Qingyun still found some information on the postcard.
Because there is a seal on the postcard, which is the seal of a bookstore. After identification, we found out that the bookstore is called Ningcaotang and the address is No. 33 Hunze Street.
Right at the end of the street.
Su Qingyun put down her notebook and picked up the porcelain cat again, this time to wipe it.
After wiping off all the dust on the porcelain cat, Su Qingyun also saw the Ningcaotang seal under the porcelain cat's body.
Su Qingyun boldly guessed, "The owner of the miniskirt has been to Ningcaotang, and she bought these things for Lu Xiaohe."
"She is Lu Xiaohe's mother."
A mother who is not worthy of being a mother.
