Chapter 8 The Neighbor's Old Lady

The Xitian District of City S has been extremely depressed recently. The bodies of three girls have been found one after another. Police officers standing guard can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, going door to door in the bright sun to investigate and inquire. This matter has been reported in the newspaper and is also being broadcast on the news.

People in the entire Xitian District were panicking. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Shen Qingshuang. She didn't watch TV much, so she didn't catch the news at all.

But when I went out that evening, I met an old lady with gray hair. She had a vague impression of this old lady, who lived downstairs. She had a six-year-old granddaughter at home, who was left behind when her son divorced. Later, the son remarried, and the new daughter-in-law was not very good.

She liked this granddaughter so she stayed and was taken care of by the old lady.

The old lady has no job, and her son and daughter-in-law don't care about her. She usually does housework for others to earn some money to support her granddaughter. Shen Qingshuang has seen her granddaughter, a well-behaved and lovely child, but a little thin.

People around her also pitied her, but the old lady was a stubborn person and did not accept charity. Everyone could only let her clean the house from time to time to subsidize her. The original owner was also a child raised by her grandmother, so she felt particularly sorry for her.

She was often asked to come to the house to clean, but later Shen Qingshuang stopped letting her come because she didn't like the smell of other people in the house.

Now when she got downstairs, she saw an old lady squatting beside the flower bed crying with tears in her eyes. Shen Qingshuang frowned and originally wanted to walk over directly.

But there was a hint of sadness in her heart, which was the emotion of the original owner. She had no choice but to go over and help the old lady up: "Grandma, what happened."

When the old lady saw her, she grabbed her hand in panic and burst into tears: "Niuniu, Niuniu is gone."

"Did you go to a classmate's house to play?"

"Niuniu usually goes home directly after school. Something must have happened... I can feel it..." The old lady sounded a little excited.

"But the police won't take care of this missing person for less than 24 hours. Why don't you go home first and I'll look for it for you?" Shen Qingshuang frowned.

"No, no, I can't sit down, so I'll look for it too." The old lady was a little persistent, and her steps were a little unsteady when she let go.

Shen Qingshuang looked at her appearance and was afraid that she would fall to the ground with her head on her head, so she quickly went up to catch her: "Grandma, don't be excited. I have a friend from the police station. I will call you and ask."

After listening to her words, the old lady calmed down a little and looked at her in panic.

Shen Qingshuang had no choice but to take out her cell phone and find Hao Shuo's phone number. The last time the two met was at the police station when he told her that Zhang Tian was someone outside. Hao Shuo also called several times later.

It's just that Shen Qingshuang didn't answer the call because she didn't think there was any need to continue the conversation. She didn't expect to call him suddenly now.

She sighed and dialed the number. The voice on the other end came, sounding a little tired: "Hello?"

"Hey, Officer Hao. It's me. I have a neighbor here. Her granddaughter seems to have been lost and she hasn't come back yet."

"What? How old is the child and how long has it been missing?" The tone was a little excited.

Shen Qingshuang was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I am 6 years old this year. I usually come back after school, but I haven't come back today."

"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Hao Shuo's voice sounded a little anxious, and Shen Qingshuang quickly reported the address to him.

The police station is not too far from here, but it takes more than twenty minutes to drive, but Hao Shuo came here in fifteen minutes.

When I came down, I saw his head covered in sweat under the light of the street lamp. He looked really anxious.

"Ms. Shen, please get in the car first. We'll talk in detail in the car."

Shen Qingshuang nodded and helped the old lady sit in the back.

"Officer, you must help me find my daughter!" The old lady sitting in the back was a little excited and went to pull Hao Shuo who was driving in front.

Hao Shuo didn't check for a moment, but she pulled the steering wheel into a big turn.

Fortunately, Hao Shuo stepped on the brakes in time, and the community where Shen Qingshuang lived was a dilapidated community house with no one around.

The old lady's center of gravity was unstable and she fell on Shen Qingshuang. She helped the old lady up and sat up, and her tone was a little serious: "No matter what, you can't pull the driver away. If Niuniu hasn't been found yet, you are in danger." , what will Niuniu do in the future?"

The old lady seemed to know that she had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, I, I was too anxious."

"Okay, okay, nothing happened." Hao Shuo persuaded him good-temperedly, restarted the car, and drove smoothly to the police station without any accidents this time.

"Grandma, please first introduce Niu Niu's situation, what is her name, where she studies, and what she is wearing." Hao Shuo drove the car to understand the situation with the old lady.

"My granddaughter is 6 years old this year and has just entered elementary school. Her nickname is Niuniu and her elder name is Yang Niu. She studies in an experimental primary school not far from home. Niuniu's father doesn't care about her. I usually take care of her alone. But I usually have to take care of her. I go to other people's homes to clean, and I often don't have time to pick her up." The old lady stopped as she spoke, her voice a little choked with sobs.

After she calmed down, she continued: "Niuniu is a sensible child. She knows that I am busy, so she goes home by herself after school. Normally nothing happens, so I feel relieved, but today she hasn't come back until the time she is supposed to come back. I ran to the school to look for him, but the teacher said school was over early."

"I returned home again, but I still didn't see anyone. I suddenly remembered that there was a TV report recently, saying that there was a pervert... My poor Niuniu, please don't let anything happen." The old lady said with excitement. Got up.

"Grandma, don't get excited. We will definitely increase our manpower to investigate. And Niu Niu may not necessarily have met that person. We have to think in a good direction. And you have to believe us, right?" Hao Shuo quickly comforted her. .

"What are you wearing today?"

"I'm wearing a yellow dress. It was bought by Niu Niu's mother when she was still alive. She likes it very much." The old lady sobbed as she answered his question.

Shen Qingshuang on the side was confused and felt that they were playing riddles, but it seemed inappropriate to ask now.

Hao Shuo drove the car very fast, and after a moment, he parked the car smoothly in front of the police station.

It was almost eight o'clock now, and Shen Qingshuang didn't expect that the place would still be so lively. Everyone inside had sad faces and hurriedly walked back and forth. Zhang Hao saw the three people and hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Mouse, please take grandma to register first and ask for information as quickly as possible." Hao Shuo said quickly as soon as he saw him.

Zhang Hao nodded and took the old lady in.
