Sheng An Ning's eyes lit up, and she followed Zhou Luancheng back to the living room.
After Zhou Luancheng entered the house, he said bluntly, "I found a strange footprint by the pool yesterday. Today, I asked the technical department to identify and confirm that it was the footprint of an adult male, about 1.7 meters tall."
Then he looked at Sheng Anning: "Sister-in-law, have you noticed such a man who has appeared near home recently?"
Sheng Anning shook her head. She didn't spend much time outside every day and rarely paid attention to strangers passing by.
Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing both shook their heads: "Luancheng, we have no impression of you at all. We see so many people at the gate every day, many of whom are about 1.7 meters tall, and we don't know any of them."
Zhou Luancheng thought for a moment and said, "He must be very familiar with our family. That means he has observed our family members beforehand and knows their situations. If that's the case, he must have appeared around our home recently."
It's still too general. Zhou Hongyun goes out quite often, and he can't remember anyone behaving abnormally.
Auntie thought for a while and said, "The man who borrowed the air pump this morning looked about 1.8 meters tall. It couldn't be him. But in the past two days when I was in the market, many people asked me about our family situation. They seemed to be curious because I was a stranger."
I can't imagine that someone would steal a child.
Sheng An Ning was panicked: "If this is the case, looking for this person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is impossible to find him. Then Mo Mo..."
I dare not think about it. Once I think about it, I start to tremble uncontrollably. I pinch my palms tightly with my fingernails to calm myself down.
Zhou Luancheng was silent for a moment. "Also, have any neighbors come to visit? When you chat with them, have you ever talked about your family? I know that there are several houses for rent in the neighborhood, and the people living there are quite mixed. I have already arranged for someone to investigate the identities of these people."
"Because Momo is a boy, it is very likely that this was a premeditated child trafficking case."
Zhong Wenqing shook his body: "What should I do? What should I do?"
If a child is abducted, can he be found again?
Speaking of neighbors, Sheng An Ning suddenly thought of the fortune-teller next door, but he didn't seem to be about 1.7 meters tall, and felt like he was about 1.6 meters tall.
"Luancheng, I thought of something. I suspect there is an old fortune teller next door. I feel strange every time I see him. One afternoon, when I came back from school, three children ran to pick me up. Momo suddenly ran over, hugged me and asked me to look at the wall of the neighbor's house, which was the house where the fortune teller rented a house. At that time, I only saw a cat."
The more I think about it now, the more I feel that Mo Mo must have discovered something at that time.
After hearing what Sheng An Ning said, Zhou Luancheng turned around and went to the next room. Regardless of whether it was an old fortune teller or not, this was an important clue.
Sheng An Ning hurriedly followed Zhou Luancheng. When the others saw the two of them go out, they also supported each other and followed them out.
Early in the morning, people going to work or school have not yet left, but there are still people queuing up in the alley to use the toilet.
Or they would carry small basins or pots to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks.
It's a lively time.
When Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Anning went to the next yard, every household in the yard was busy washing and brushing their teeth, and some were even making fires and cooking on the stoves in front of their doors.
When they saw Zhou Luancheng and his group enter the yard, they all stopped what they were doing, stood up and looked.
Mrs. Chen, who had said before that she was a descendant of the Eight Banners, came out of the house. When she saw Sheng Anning and heard that her child was missing, she couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
His child is missing and came to his house so early in the morning, so it must be something bad.
Zhou Luancheng got straight to the point: "Where is the fortune teller who rented your house?"
When Chen's wife heard that they were looking for an old fortune teller, she quickly shouted to the east side of the house: "Blind Li, Blind Li, come out quickly, did you steal someone's child? I tell you, if you do such a heartless thing, you will be punished by God."
Everyone looked towards the east room, and some people couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it really be done by the old fortune teller?
No one came out for a long time, and there was no movement in the house.
Sheng Anning's heart was in her throat. When she was about to take a step forward, she heard a violent cough in the room, followed by some rustling noises, and the door slowly opened.
The fortune-teller squinted his eyes to adjust to the light outside before slowly walking out.
Without waiting for Sheng An Ning and Zhou Luan Cheng to ask, Chen Sao Zi asked first: "Blind Li, the child next door is missing, did you do it?"
The fortune-teller, Blind Li, leaned against the wall and coughed for a while before he walked into the yard with a hunched back and looked at Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, you are such a joke. Why would I steal a child? Do you think I look like someone who steals a child?"
Zhou Luancheng squinted at the old man and his eyes fell on his feet. The old man was wearing a pair of double-toed cloth shoes. The uppers were worn out and his big toes were exposed.
Looking at the sole, it should be a thousand-layer sole, not a rubber tire sole.
Sheng An Ning lost her mind. She couldn't find Mo Mo and had no ability to distinguish right from wrong. She rushed over and grabbed the old man's clothes: "Where is my son? Give me back my son."
The old man stared in fear and took several steps back. He was so nervous that his voice became stammering: "What child are you talking about? I don't know. What do I need a child for? I can't even support myself."
Sheng An Ning, however, was like a madman, shaking the old man frantically: "You know, you must know, give me back Mo Mo."
For some unknown reason, he reached out and grabbed the old man's neck, pressing harder and harder.
The fortune-teller's face instantly turned purple, and he reached out to grab Sheng Anning's arm, shouting with great effort: "Let go, I don't have it."
The people watching the excitement were all startled, looking at Sheng An Ning with messy hair and red eyes, as if she was on fire.
There is cruelty all over his body.
Zhou Luancheng looked at the old man's reaction carefully before he hurried over to grab Sheng Anning's hand: "Sister-in-law, let go first, we have something to talk about slowly."
Sheng An Ning couldn't listen any more. She was obsessed with the idea that it was this weird old man who took her Mo Mo away.
Mrs. Chen also screamed, "Yes, let go quickly, or someone will die if this continues."
She was not speaking for the fortune teller, but she was afraid that Sheng An Ning would really kill someone in her yard, causing a loss of life, and this yard would be unlucky in the future.
Mu Xiaowan and Sun Xuemei also went over to help and pulled Sheng Anning away.
The fortune-teller was freed. He covered his neck and coughed madly. While coughing, he looked at Zhou Luancheng who was in uniform: "You are the police, you can't bully others by taking advantage of your power. I am an old man, and I am about to be buried. Why would I take your child away for no reason? Cough cough cough..."
"I can't even support myself, why would I have a child?"
As he spoke, he stepped back, his body involuntarily straightening up a little, but then he hunched over again, leaning one hand on the wall and coughing violently.
Zhou Luancheng stared at the old man. During the few seconds he stood up straight, he had obviously grown taller...
