It's getting late.
Sun's came by rickshaw, but Ling Shu couldn't have been in the same car with her, so he could only speed up his pace beside her and listen to her quick explanation of the ins and outs.
Widow Sun's child, surnamed Lu, is called Lu Zude. Today, he goes to school as usual. He was supposed to come home in the evening. He goes to a church school. It's in the concession, not far from home. Playful, so she didn't show up at dinner time. Mrs. Sun went out to look for it. The teacher at the school said that he had left long ago. Mrs. Sun went home again, and she didn't wait for the child to come back, so she was in a hurry. She was sure that the child was He disappeared on the way to school.
Ling Shu said: "Will you go to the puppy to play? I heard from my brother-in-law that he knew your child because of a little yellow dog."
Sun said: "He is always playful, but he has never come back so late. Before I left today, I told him that he made his favorite shrimp for dinner, and he definitely couldn't forget to go home for dinner. "
Ling Shu recalled the children he saw during the day. They were about eight or nine years old. They were smart and quick-witted. They didn't look like children with slow minds. .
Anything can happen these days. Don't look at the bright and beautiful city, but the dark tide is raging inside. There are chaotic heroes like Mr. Lu and Jiang He, and there are speculators like Shen Shiqi and Mr. Cheng who fish in troubled waters. Paihuazi is even more so. It can be seen everywhere, especially those little boys and girls with thin skin and tender meat, who are the first choice of human traffickers.
Lu Zude didn't go home for a long time, so it's no wonder that the Sun family is worried that if something goes wrong with this child, for a widow, it's like the sky is falling.
Sun's words are very much.
First, he blamed himself for not letting the child go to school alone, and should have the maid pick him up, and then began to ask Ling Shu.
"Sir Ling, I heard from Mr. Zhou that you have solved many cases, including the sensational murder case at the Yuan Mansion a while ago. Is it true?"
Elsewhere, when a beautiful woman like Ya Qi asked, he was very interested in telling her a long story.
But Ling Shu didn't have the heart to show off at the moment, he just said, "That's all written in the newspapers."
"How can it be! I also read the newspaper at that time, and said that you were commended for it, and known as the No. 1 detective in the East."
Sun shi did not stop praising him.
Ling Shu also knew that the name of the so-called No. 1 detective in the East was a gimmick made by some tabloids deliberately exaggerating the case in order to gain attention.
"Does Mrs. Sun also have the habit of reading newspapers?"
Mrs. Sun: "I don't know a few words, but I learned it while listening to people read the newspaper."
The two chatted up each other, but Ling Shu was mostly perfunctory, but Sun didn't seem to notice, and kept trying to find something to communicate with Ling Shu.
Maybe it's too nervous and worried and needs to be distracted. Ling Shu knows that the more nervous some people are, the more they talk.
But he and the Sun family had just known each other for a long time, and they really couldn't talk about friendship, which was too simple and profound.
Lingshu, the patrolman in the concession, was speechless, but Yue Dingtang could.
After Ling Shu accompanied Sun to arrive, he asked someone for a phone number, called Yue Mansion, and asked Yue Dingtang to come forward to find Smith, and through Smith's relationship, he finally got the foreign patrol to face up to this matter and began to record a statement. Send someone out to find the child.
Sun insisted not to go back to rest, and insisted on waiting for news in the patrol room. For Smith's sake, they didn't chase her away, so they let Sun sit on the stool near the door of the patrol room.
Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes and her arms were shaking, Ling Shu advised her to go back to rest.
Suddenly, Sun shi stood up again and knelt down towards Ling Shu.
"Sir Ling, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the patrol room today!"
Ling Shu had a terrible headache at her kneeling and crying at every turn. Seeing that she couldn't get up, she couldn't help but reach out to help her.
At this time, Yue Dingtang came.
A woman followed behind him, holding a child in her hand.
Ling Shu recognized them.
The woman is the maid of the Sun family, and I met him when she opened the door for him during the day.
The child is Lu Zude, the main lord that everyone could not find in the middle of the night.
"Mrs!"
The maid called out as soon as she saw Mrs Sun.
"Why did you come here! The young master has found it, let's go back!"
Lu Zude looked terrified, afraid that he was frightened by the reaction of the adults.
When Sun turned around and saw his son, he rushed over without saying a word, and hugged him tightly.
"Brother De, you are back!"
She cried and laughed.
"Where have you been, do you know Wei Niang is worried about you?!"
"I-I went chasing the puppy and got lost."
Lu Zude raised his head and looked around at everyone, hesitating, afraid to bow his head, as if afraid that his mother would blame him.
Ling Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Where did you find them?" he asked Yue Dingtang.
Yue Dingtang said: "After I received your call, I went to Sun's house to see. I happened to bump into the maid at his door and brought Lu Zude back. He heard that Mrs. Sun was looking for her everywhere, and she went to the patrol room to report the crime. Let me bring him here."
Mrs Sun hugged Lu Zude tightly, as if she was telling her son about her nervousness, but she turned her back to the person, and Ling Shu couldn't hear it clearly, only to see Lu Zude timidly glance at them, and stretched out his hand to pat his mother 's back.
"Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you, but I'll never dare again."
Yue Dingtang said: "It's getting late, and it's not safe for you to go back now. It's better to stay in the patrol room for one night, and then go back tomorrow."
Mrs Sun was a little moved, but the maid reminded her: "Madam, the old lady from the country's hometown said that she would come to visit the young master tomorrow, have you forgotten?"
"Yes, look at my memory!" Sun's complexion changed slightly, then he smiled bitterly, and gave a blessing to Yue Dingtang and Ling Shu. "Thank you two sirs, thanks to you tonight, I'm really grateful, please forgive me for saying goodbye first, and I will give you a generous gift in the future!"
Yue Dingtang said: "You orphans and widows are indeed easy to cause trouble. Tonight, my driver will follow you and guard outside Sun's house. If you need help with anything, just call him and wait for you tomorrow. The parents are here, and there are many people in the family, so I will let him come back."
It was rare for Ling Shu to see Yue Dingtang so enthusiastic, it was like seeing the sun and the moon rise at the same time.
Thanks a lot, Mrs Sun took Lu Zude on a rickshaw and left, with the maid following him.
"What do you see me doing like this?"
Yue Dingtang retracted his gaze and found Ling Shu's eyes.
Ling Shu: "I'm looking to see if you're a ghost?"
Yue Dingtang stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
Ling Shu was caught off-guard from being pinched on his cheek, he quickly jumped away and looked left and right.
No one found out, no shame.
"A gentleman speaks and does not move!"
Yue Dingtang: "I take back what I said earlier."
Ling Shu:
Yue Dingtang: "Sun's is a little weird."
"You finally found out, don't you say I'm suspicious?"
After Ling Shu finished speaking proudly, after realizing it, he slowed down for a while, "That's not right, then why did you pinch me just now?"
Itchy hands.
Yue Ding Tang Xin said, but the words were changed to another sentence.
"On the way here, Lu Zude, while the maid was not paying attention, told me that Mrs. Sun is not his biological mother. Mrs. Sun was not good to him and wanted to harm him. I think it is true that you said that Mrs. Sun was weird before. of."
He politely admitted that his previous evaluation of Ling Shu was a bit arbitrary.
Who knew that Ling Shu was not triumphant, but instead let out a snort.
"Coincidentally, I also received a distress message here."
Yue Dingtang: "Lu Zude?"
"No, it's the Sun family."
He took out a note from his pocket, with two words scrawled on it.
help me.
The two looked at each other, realizing that things were not easy.
Originally thought to be a family farce in which brother-in-law Zhou was out with the little widow, it turned into a small case to help find children, and now it has become a drama between mother and son.
Ling Shu: "When Mrs. Sun knelt down for me just now, she took the opportunity to put this thing into my hands. Lu Zude said Mrs. Sun was not her own mother and wanted to harm her. Mrs. Sun asked me to save her. Maybe Mr. Sun had expected it. Will Lu Zude tell you this?"
Yue Dingtang: "It's unlikely."
Ling Shu: "If the Sun family really has any secrets, they should try their best to suppress the matter, and make the big things into small ones, instead of taking the initiative to come to the door and ask us to help find people. It's right that things are going to be a big deal. And this woman is not simple. She could completely refuse my visit at first, but she let me in, which made me suspicious and interested when I found that the furnishings in the home were incompatible with her. On the way to the patrol room tonight , she also mentioned the case of Yuan Mansion, now it seems that it is a bit deliberate."
Yue Dingtang: "Deliberately remind you to ask for help implicitly?"
Ling Shu nodded.
"But Lu Zude asked you for help, I never thought. Whoever said the truth of these two people? Who should we believe?"
Generally speaking, children are weak and harmless, and they will certainly tend to trust children.
If there were no doubts that Sun's deliberately tempted Ling Shu to dig, Ling Shu would also choose to trust Lu Zude.
But now he's not so sure.
"If what Lu Zude said is true, then Mr. Sun may be a Pahuazi who specializes in human trafficking. I asked the driver to watch it outside, just in case. To prevent Mr. Sun from jumping over the wall and doing something to Lu Zude, he was there. , nothing will happen tonight."
Ling Shu shrugged: "I have no problem, but have you ever thought about it, if Sun is the one who needs to be rescued? Women like her are also one of the easy targets. Then who would be persecuted? Her person? That maid? I think it is quite similar, that maid's attitude towards Sun is not very respectful, not like the hostess of the family. "
Yue Dingtang said: "Tomorrow we will visit in the name of visiting and see if we can dig out any clues."
Ling Shu yawned and grumbled.
"That's alright. You didn't see my sister's face after all the tossing this day. My brother-in-law just coaxed back a little bit when Mrs. Sun came to the door, and her face immediately returned to before the storm. I'm going back now, I don't know if I'll be able to. Chiyu will not be affected."
Yue Dingtang saw that his hair was not combed properly, and the two dull hairs fluttered in the wind, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth it out.
"Go to sleep with me."
"No, I have to go back and tell them that the child is okay, otherwise my brother-in-law's good-natured nature will definitely be worried. This is a strange matter, and I just told him to stop interfering."
His eyes were almost unable to open, like a sleepy lazy cat, shaking three steps and walking out.
Yue Dingtang shook his head, for fear that he would fall without looking at the road, so he had to follow behind.
