C38 The Girl's Body

The further she left the convenience store that Yellow Hair mentioned, the heavier Qiao Yumeng's legs became like lead. She was very afraid, afraid that she would not be able to find Qiao Yuxi even if she went there.

In the end, she still arrived. Just as she expected, she had left a long time ago.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the owner of the convenience store." He walked straight to the door of the store and handed Qiao Yuxi's photo to the owner. "Excuse me, have you seen this child before?"

"No." The boss glanced at the photo and looked at the phone again.

"Impossible. I saw the woman bring the child to buy milk with my own eyes. It took less than 20 minutes!" The yellow-haired man sounded very loud, as if he was worried that Lu Chen would suspect him of lying.

"Aunt?" The owner of the convenience store twitched his mouth and said disdainfully, "There are too many aunties around here. Who knows who you are talking about?"

"Is it convenient for us to see the surveillance video?" Qiao Yumeng suddenly went forward and her expression was extremely calm.

The yellow hair looked at Qiao Yumeng in surprise and said to the convenience store owner. "This sister's child was taken away by someone. It was taken away by the aunty I saw. If you don't let me see it, I will sue you for trafficking!"

"Bullsh * t!" The owner of the convenience store suddenly jumped up and started cursing at the blonde.

Since things had developed to this point, there was no room for negotiation. Lu Chen picked up his phone and contacted the police station. Coincidentally, because the surveillance showed that the woman who took Qiao Yuxi had come to the village, the police came here to investigate. In less than five minutes, the convenience store was surrounded.

Seeing that the police were here, The owner of the convenience store was terrified. He raised his hands and surrendered. "Comrade police, I really didn't kidnap anyone. I don't know that woman..."

"We believe you. Can you show us the surveillance camera in the store?"

"Sure, sure." The owner of the convenience store nodded repeatedly and took the initiative to show them the surveillance video.

When the yellow-haired man saw the convenience store owner's reaction, he couldn't help it. He muttered, "You really won't cry until you see a coffin..."

If the convenience store owner had heard what the yellow-haired man said earlier, he would definitely have had a fight with him. But now that there were so many policemen around, he was as obedient as a cat whose nails had been cut off.

A policeman sat in front of the computer. In less than three minutes, he saw what Yellow Hair had said.

On the monitor, the middle-aged woman was still wearing the clothes she wore at noon. Qiao Yuxi was being pushed by the stroller. She looked like she was asleep.

"Can you zoom in?" Qiao Yumeng rushed over. She just wanted to see if Qiao Yuxi was still alive.

"It can't be any bigger." After the monitor was magnified, it was all blurry.

"Cough." The convenience store owner coughed awkwardly and said, "It was installed just to prevent theft, but you guys are looking for this lady?"

"You know her?" Lu Chen raised his head and stared at the convenience store owner.

"I don't think so. She has been living here for two or three years." Everyone heard what the convenience store owner said. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at him. The convenience store owner almost didn't know how to speak. He cleared his throat and continued, "She lives here alone. She has a granddaughter who is four or five years old. She leaves early and goes home late every day. From time to time, she picks up some cardboard plastic bottles and goes home..."

"Let's get to the point." Lu Chen interrupted him.

"Er..." The owner of the convenience store thought for a while and walked out of the convenience store. He pointed to an alley and said, "She lives in this alley, but I don't know which one."

Although there were seven or eight houses in the alley, the search area was immediately reduced.

"At least it's better than not knowing where she is..." Lu Chen looked like he was talking to himself, but in fact he was comforting Qiao Yumeng.

"Yes." Qiao Yumeng nodded subconsciously.

While waiting for the search time, Qiao Yumeng stood straight on the spot. She did not even dare to say anything. She was afraid that when she opened her mouth, the breath she used to support herself would run away.

Time passed little by little. Very quickly, a policeman ran in front of them and said, "We found the suspect's house but there is no one inside."

"How is that possible?" The hope was lost again. Qiao Yumeng ran crazily into the alley.

"Where does the suspect live?" Qiao Yumeng asked. Lu Chen asked the policeman as he ran after Qiao Yumeng.1

"Number 43." replied the policeman.

Although Qiao Yumeng did not even drink a sip of water all day and was almost at the end of her rope, she ran upstairs with all her strength. Even Lu Chen could not catch up to her.

Qiao Yumeng rushed to the rented house and her legs went soft.

The rented house was very small. It was not more than 15 square meters and there were all kinds of junk everywhere. There were a few washed children's clothes hanging on the window.

The police looked at Qiao Yumeng sitting on the ground, paralyzed. They could not bear to comfort her. "Madame Qiao, don't worry. The suspect might have just gone out and will come back later."

"Yes, Yumeng, don't be anxious." Lu Chen went to help Qiao Yumeng on the ground.

"There are also traces of food. They might not have run away."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Chen could only fight with all his might. Even though he still could not understand why that woman wanted to take Qiao Yuxi away.

Qiao Yumeng was silent and her mind was filled with Qiao Yuxi's face. She said that she would protect her and she also said that no matter what, she would not leave her.

But now, she could not find her treasure.

"Yumeng, it's okay. It's okay." Lu Chen gently patted Qiao Yumeng's back, trying to calm her down.

Qiao Yumeng's chest was heaving up and down. She sat on the ground and did not get up. She just looked around the room with a blank face. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was very small. It was an old two-door refrigerator. There was a layer of ice on it and below it was fresh. There seemed to be a piece of plastic exposed at the layer of ice.

Qiao Yumeng's eyes stared straight at the refrigerator. Even the police noticed it.

A police officer walked over and opened it. The expression on his face instantly froze. He turned his head to look at everyone, especially when he saw Qiao Yumeng. He did not even dare to look her in the eye. "It's the body of a girl..."

Qiao Yumeng heard his words and pushed Lu Chen away. She rushed over.

In the freezer, a child was wrapped in layers of plastic paper. It could only be vaguely seen from the clothes that he was wearing that he was a three or four year old child.

"Ah!" Qiao Yumeng finally collapsed and knelt on the ground. Her hands were shaking so hard that she could not undo the layers of plastic paper. The blood on her face also faded in an instant.

Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yumeng's face full of despair. He did not care about the differences between men and women. He rushed up and held her in his arms.

After being hugged by Lu Chen, Qiao Yumeng pushed him with all her might. She cried hysterically.
