Chapter 147 Small Square
After getting in the car, Gong Weiguo finally had time to ask, "Team Leader, you are so anxious, is the child in danger?"
Xia Mushige frowned: "I hope my guess is wrong."
Sun Xianbin was anxious: "Please explain clearly, what are you guessing?"
Feng Xiaoyu pulled Sun Xianbing's arm and whispered, "Could it be that when the child's grandmother took the baby out, she met someone and did something bad to the child?"
Xia Mufan did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at the trees on the roadside that were moving backwards outside the window.
The process of growing up for girls is really difficult. Because of their weakness, they may be bullied; because of their delicateness, they may be subjected to perverted and indecent assault. If she happens to be bullied, others may even say sarcastically: Who told her to wear such revealing clothes? Who asked her to come so close to me in such a coquettish way? You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person, otherwise why would he bully you instead of others?
Like Lin Ruxue's baby, she is still an innocent girl who has no ability to protect herself and can only cry when she is hurt. If it weren't for Meihui and Facai watching over the child, it would probably take a very long time, until the child's psychological trauma was extremely severe, before the fact that the baby had been molested would be discovered.
Molesting a six-month-old baby is the worst kind of evil in human nature! This pervert must be found and severely punished by legal means.
The sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees and shone on her face, flickering. Everyone could see that Xia Mufan was not in a good mood.
Xia Mufan's silence gave other people in the car very bad associations.
Is it child molestation? But the baby is only six months old. She is so pink, tender, cute and soft. How could there be such a pervert?
Children are the buds of the motherland, but what should we do if the buds are hit by storms before they bloom?
For a moment, all five members of Serious Crime Unit 7 fell silent.
Teacher Qiao was relatively innocent. Seeing that everyone had serious faces, she looked at Gong Weiguo in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad all of a sudden? Is the baby in danger? The baby is with grandma, so nothing should happen to him, right?"
Gong Weiguo didn't want to pollute his newlywed wife's ears, so he put his arm around Teacher Qiao's shoulders and said softly, "It shouldn't be anything wrong. We're just worried, so we'll go check it out."
Teacher Qiao was well protected by his parents. After graduating from the normal school, he was assigned to teach English at Hui City No. 7 Middle School. From school to school, he almost always lived in an ivory tower and had few opportunities to come into contact with the evil of human nature.
After hearing what Gong Weiguo said, Teacher Qiao felt relieved: "Maybe the child met a stranger when he was out and got scared. It would be good to go and take a look, and then remind Teacher Lin."
Yu Jing drove very fast and drove into the gate of Huishi No. 7 Middle School in less than fifteen minutes.
Huishi No. 7 Middle School is a junior high school. The white administrative building faces the main gate. There is a spacious playground on the east side and a three-story teaching building on the west side. There are six classes in each grade, with one grade on each floor.
As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the children reading aloud and the sounds of them running and laughing in the playground. The long-lost school environment made everyone feel a little more relaxed.
Feng Xiaoyu looked at Qiao Zhimin with envy: "It's great to be a teacher. Every day I see the smiling faces of children. Unlike us, we face all kinds of cases and crimes every day. It's easy to get depressed after a long time."
Gong Weiguo added: "So our bureau will conduct psychological assessments on us every year. If any abnormalities are found, professionals will provide psychological counseling."
Xia Mufan did not join in their conversation, but instead thought about how to solve the problem quietly and minimize the harm to the child.
When passing by the teaching building, Xia Mufan asked Yu Jing to stop the car and said to Qiao Zhimin, "Teacher Qiao, please go find Teacher Lin. If she is not in class, ask her to come to the small square. She may need to handle some things."
Out of trust and respect for the police, Qiao Zhimin did not ask any further questions and just nodded in agreement.
As soon as Qiao Zhimin left, Gong Weiguo couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! What a pervert."
Sun Xianbing followed suit and spat, "I was holding it in because Teacher Qiao was here. Although we can't be sure that Teacher Zhang is the pervert who molests children, since the team leader has suspected it, then it must be him! Otherwise, why would the baby cry all night when the grandmother took him out to play and meet a few strangers? He must have been deeply hurt."
As a woman, Feng Xiaoyu naturally hated such perverts even more. She gritted her teeth, looked at Xia Mufan and said, "Team Leader, please give us an order."
Xia Mufan said, "After we get to the small square, Yu Jing will wait in the car, and Gong Weiguo will be in charge of finding the person. After you find the baby, wait for my command. If you find that Teacher Zhang is doing something unruly, arrest him immediately."
"yes!"
Everyone spoke in unison and immediately got to work.
Glancing at his teammates, Xia Mufan warned them, "Once the news of child molestation spreads, it will be detrimental to the baby's growth. Therefore, we must arrest the person quickly and secretly."
"good."
Everyone had experience and understood what Xia Mufan meant as soon as they heard it. Isn’t it just arresting people quietly? Everyone is familiar with this.
Gong Weiguo came to the family quarters of No. 7 Middle School and directed Yu Jing to park the car next to the family building. Then, he led everyone out through the side door, passed through a small woods, and saw a small square in front of them.
The small square is bustling with people.
It was working hours, and most of the people in the square were old people and children.
In one corner of the square, a group of elderly people were dancing to the music, and some elderly people were sitting on small stools, playing chess or cards in groups of three or four. The children were jumping and playing, looking very harmonious.
Gong Weiguo quickly found Sun Hanxiang among the square dancing aunties, pointed at a woman wearing a floral shirt and black trousers and said to Xia Mufan, "That person is Sun Hanxiang."
Xia Mufan took a look at Sun Hanxiang and saw that although she was over fifty years old, she still had a slim figure and charm, and stood out among the group of middle-aged women dancing in the square.
But these are not important. Xia Mufan just took a look and shifted his attention away from the square dance aunties and asked Gong Weiguo: "Where is the baby?"
The children in the small square were ranging from two to three years old to just a few months old. They were lying in strollers or held in adults’ arms. The elderly and nannies who were taking care of the children were gathered together chatting. At a glance, one couldn’t tell which one was Lin Ruxue’s child.
However, most of the people who take care of children are women. There are very few middle-aged men with children. At a glance, there is no old man in his sixties holding a baby in the square. For a moment, Xia Mufan felt a little panicked and looked around, trying to find the baby quickly.
Coal Ash, who was held in Xia Mufan's arms, suddenly moved.
[Xia Xia is on the mountain!] 】
[I'll take you to find him.] 】
Coal ash jumped out of Xia Muchan's arms, turned into a flash of lightning, and quickly ran towards a corner of the square.
In the corner of the square there is a small hill made of miscellaneous earth, and at the top of the hill there is a pavilion.
A group of opera enthusiasts are gathering in a pavilion on the mountain. Some are playing the erhu, some are blowing the suona, some are singing opera, and it is very lively.
However, amidst the loud suona sound, Xia Mufan clearly heard the low cry of a baby, and the cry seemed to be blocked by something, and it sounded muffled.
Xia Mufan's heart tightened, and he gestured to his teammates and ordered hurriedly: "Follow Meihui and go up the mountain!"
Everyone followed behind Coal Ash and quickly climbed up the gravel path.
Although coal ash is small in size, it moves very fast and leaps up quickly.
Xia Mufan was agile and took two steps at a time and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. He walked through the group of opera enthusiasts and accidentally knocked over a music stand.
With a clang, the music stopped abruptly as the music stand fell to the ground.
The old man wearing long sleeves and babbling also stopped and looked at Xia Mufan and his group, frowning: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
As the sounds of opera and music stopped, the sound of a baby crying was also captured.
Feng Xiaoyu felt a pain in her chest and raised her head nervously, searching around for the source of the crying.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
From the hillside facing away from the square came an old man's painful cry: "Where did this wild cat come from? How dare it bite me?!"
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing also reacted, exchanged glances, and ran quickly in that direction.
Xia Mufan was the first to arrive at the scene. He saw Mei Hui jump high and pounce on an old man in his sixties. He stretched out his little claws and scratched the old man's face with a "sizzling" sound, leaving several bloody marks.
[Damn old man!] Damn pervert! I'll catch you to death! 】
Coal Ash was still not satisfied, so he jumped up again, opened his mouth and bit the old man's hand hard.
The old man screamed in agony, not caring about the baby in his arms, and rolled and crawled to avoid the attack. While hiding, he shouted: "Where did this dead cat come from? Get out of here! Get out of here——"
The swaddling clothes in the baby's hand fell to the ground, and the bottle that had been blocking the baby's mouth also fell to the ground. The baby was frightened and opened his mouth to cry miserably: "Wa-wa-wa-"
Xia Mufan rushed forward, quickly picked up the baby that had fallen to the ground, rocked and coaxed the baby, gently patted the swaddling clothes, and whispered softly: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry, don't be afraid, sister is here to help you."
Perhaps sensing the gentle yet firm aura from Xia Mufan, the baby's crying gradually became less shrill, and instead it made a humming and sobbing sound, as if it was telling something in grievance.
After calming the baby down, Xia Mufan finally took the time to look at the old man who was knocked to the ground by the coal dust.
The old man was wearing a brown Tang suit, a pair of cloth shoes, and black-rimmed glasses, and was dressed like a reclusive celebrity. But at this moment he was lying on the ground, his hands constantly raised, avoiding the attack of coal dust, looking very embarrassed.
Xia Mufan looked down at the child, holding the child's butt with one hand and quickly checking the child's body with the other hand. The child's crotchless pants were pulled loose, and his diaper was hanging loosely on the side. His anus was slightly red and swollen. Xia Mufan felt nauseous and wanted to pin this pervert to the ground.
When Feng Xiaoyu and others arrived and saw that more and more people were coming to watch the fun, Coal Ash stopped scratching and biting. He bared his teeth and shouted threateningly at the old man twice, then quickly turned and left.
Fight and then run away, this was what Meihui and Xia Mufan had agreed upon. Otherwise, once that pervert finds out it's a police cat, will he say that the police beat him on purpose?
The group of people who had just been singing came over to watch the fun, and they felt a little puzzled when they saw the scene before them.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhang from No. 7 Middle School?"
"Why doesn't he take care of the children in the square? Why does he have to hide behind this mountain?"
"Did he offend someone? Why was he scratched so badly by the cat?"
Xia Mufan held the child and glanced at Gong Weiguo: "Let's send Teacher Zhang to the hospital quickly."
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing understood what he meant. They carried Teacher Zhang on the left and right, and took him down the mountain without saying a word.
The group had just reached the square when Teacher Qiao arrived with Lin Ruxue.
As soon as she saw the baby in Xia Mufan's arms, Lin Ruxue rushed over, hugged the child, put her hand against his face, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the baby?"
When Qiao Zhimin saw the old man being held between Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing, he widened his eyes and asked, "Hey, isn't this Teacher Zhang? What's wrong with his face?"
Xia Mufan lowered his voice and said to Lin Ruxue, "Bring the child and your mother to the Criminal Investigation Brigade. We need you to take a statement."
Lin Ruxue's expression changed instantly. She hugged the child tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay!"
