Zhou Yuanyuan stood in the corridor, holding Zhao Xia, but her ears were busy. With her hearing, she could clearly hear what people nearby were saying without using her spiritual sense.
"Xiaoyu is such a good child! How come she disappeared after playing at the door for just a while?" An old lady at the door muttered.
"I haven't heard of any beggars in our area recently!" A fat aunt asked in confusion.
"Could it be kidnapping and extortion?" an old man guessed.
······
Just two minutes after Zhou Yuanyuan entered, Zhao Qingshan and the public security officer's conversation had concluded. The two officers finally had time to glance at Zhou Yuanyuan, standing in the hallway. They saw that Zhou Yuanyuan and the Zhao family's granddaughter, Zhao Xia, looked familiar, clearly relatives. The public security officer had already learned from Zhao Qingshan that the only other female members of the family, besides Yu Meiru, were the little Zhao Xia.
"Comrade, that's my granddaughter." Zhao Qingshan saw the police's eyes fixed on Zhou Yuanyuan and hurriedly explained.
Zhou Yuanyuan's long-sleeved georgette shirt had regained its shine. After exiting the guard regiment's family compound, while waiting for a bus on the side of the road and without anyone else around, she secretly cast a "Dust Removal Technique" on herself. Her shirt, now stained with patches of yellow and green, looked nothing like the mess it had been just an hour ago.
Oh! It turned out to be Mr. Zhao's granddaughter! The two police officers suddenly realized what was going on. Zhao Qingshan was a doctor at Renhe Hospital. Although he hadn't seen patients at the hospital in two years, Hongqi sedans often came to the Zhao family's house to ask him to see patients. Long-time residents of Kyoto knew what the license plate on the Hongqi sedan represented. In the eyes of nearby residents, the Zhao family suddenly became more prominent, and Zhao Qingshan's image also became mysterious and aloof.
However, the Zhao family, both adults and children, were very polite, greeting their neighbors in Zhangmu Hutong warmly whenever they passed them on the street. Therefore, Zhao Qingshan's family, including the children, left a good impression on their neighbors. This was also the reason so many neighbors gathered to watch after hearing about Zhao Yu's accident. You have to remember that Jingdu is not like Sanhe Town, and its residents don't enjoy watching the excitement like the villagers of Sanhe Town do. After the turmoil of the past few years, the most comfortable thing for Jingdu residents is to mind their own business.
Zhangmu Hutong falls under the jurisdiction of the Gongqiao Public Security Bureau, and the two officers are both criminal police officers from the Gongqiao Public Security Bureau. When Zhou Yuanyuan arrived, the two officers had already completed the on-site investigation and gave Yu Meiru a stuffed tiger toy that Zhao Yu usually liked to play with.
Based on the clues they found, the police initially judged that Zhao Yu must have taken advantage of the time when Zhao Qingshan was answering the phone and the nanny Liu was in the bathroom to sneak out of the door to play alone and was taken away.
Yu Meiru collapsed when she heard this. Kyoto is such a big city, and her son is only two years old. If someone took him away, she didn't know if she would ever find him back!
Yu Meiru was emotionally unstable, so Zhao Guohui had to take care of her, and the task of dealing with the police fell on Zhao Qingshan.
Police officer Xu Yuanzhi, 35, is a veteran. As a veteran, he's not only familiar with every household in his jurisdiction, but he's also meticulously collected extensive information on their relatives.
The fact that General Zhou and Zhao Qingshan were in-laws was well known to the local police, who had barely spoken publicly about it. Therefore, Xu Zhiyuan took Zhao Yu's case very seriously. Otherwise, Xu Zhiyuan and his police station wouldn't have responded so quickly after receiving Zhao Qingshan's report today.
You should know that child missing cases usually take twenty-four hours to be filed, and it has not been more than two hours since Zhao Yu disappeared.
Geng Xiaoliang had just graduated from the police academy this year and was assigned to the Gongqiao Public Security Bureau as a criminal police officer. As a newcomer, the bureau chief asked him to learn from Xu Zhiyuan for a period of time.
When he saw Zhou Yuanyuan, Geng Xiaoliang was listening to the conversation between Xu Zhiyuan and Zhao Qingshan, but he was shocked by Zhou Yuanyuan's beauty out of the corner of his eye.
Zhou Yuanyuan was half a head taller than other girls her age. Thanks to her cultivation, every part of her body was perfectly proportioned: long legs, a slender waist, and even a hint of plumpness in her breasts. Even more remarkable was Zhou Yuanyuan's long association with spiritual energy, giving her a certain "celestial" aura. Geng Xiaoliang had lived for twenty-one years, but this was the first time he had ever seen a girl as beautiful as Zhou Yuanyuan.
Because of his amazement at Zhou Yuanyuan, Geng Xiaoliang took advantage of the time between Xu Zhiyuan and Zhao Qingshan's conversation to frequently glance at Zhou Yuanyuan, who was standing in the corridor. He watched her interact with Zhao Xia, and watched Zhou Yuanyuan gently coaxing Zhao Xia with a smile on her face. Unconsciously, Geng Xiaoliang had been staring at Zhou Yuanyuan for quite a while.
For some reason, beads of sweat never dried on Sister Liu's forehead. Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Sister Liu curiously and asked, "Sister Liu, are you hot?" It was already autumn, and the temperature in Kyoto was only around 20 degrees Celsius. Zhou Yuanyuan wore a shirt because she wasn't afraid of the cold. On the streets of Kyoto, many people had already started putting on thin coats.
Sister Liu is wearing a blue cotton long-sleeved T-shirt today. The material is plain and relatively thin.
"Ah? Oh, a little." Sister Liu forced an ugly smile and said embarrassedly: "Miss, I... I am a little urgent to pee. Can you help me look after Xiaoxia while I go to the toilet?"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Sister Liu expressionlessly, causing Sister Liu's body to tremble slightly.
"Cousin...cousin, if that doesn't work, then forget it." Sister Liu lowered her head and took a step forward, wanting to take Zhao Xia from Zhou Yuanyuan. Sister Liu was hired by Yu Meiru to take care of Zhao Yu and Zhao Xia. Perhaps because she felt that it was a bit ridiculous for her to ask Zhou Yuanyuan to cover for her, Sister Liu's face was a little pale.
"You go! Xiaoxia is with me." Zhou Yuanyuan moved sideways, moving away from Sister Liu's hand that was about to hug Zhao Xia.
"Okay, then... then I'll trouble you, Miss." Sister Liu covered her stomach and ran towards the bathroom in small steps.
"Sister, Mom." Zhao Xia's chubby hand pointed at Yu Meiru, indicating Zhou Yuanyuan to carry her to Yu Meiru.
"Wait a moment, Mom has something to do." Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to go over. She didn't like the way the policeman looked at her, so she didn't want to go over on her own initiative. Besides, she, Zhou Yuanyuan, could hear what she wanted to know without going over.
"Mom, cry, Xia, huhu." When Zhao Xia heard Zhou Yuanyuan's refusal, she quickly turned her head, looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's face, and said seriously.
Yo~! The little one is so distressed seeing her mother crying!
