Chapter 222 Footprints in the Middle of the Night,

Dugu Cai felt that what Ye Xing said was very reasonable, so he asked Battle to send someone to find Wang and Chen's children, and he went with Ye Xing and them to find Chen and Wang.

East Street is a relatively lively street, and the people here are quite rich, the Wang family, who sells tofu, is sitting with the Chen family and complaining to each other, they don't know what to do, the child is their life, if the child is lost, how should they live,

The two of them cried to death, many villagers in the street were persuading them, and those who had children were secretly frightened and wanted to protect their children.

After Dugucai and they came to East Street, the people in the street got out of the way, and when Chen and Wang saw that the prefect was coming, they ignored the snow on the ground, knelt down on the ground with both hands, and shouted while kneeling: "Lord Prefect, please save our children, please ......."

The crying is unconscious, and this kind of scene makes people's hearts sour,

Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng hurriedly helped Chen and Wang up and said, "Don't worry, we will help you find the child as soon as possible, but there are some things we need to understand first." ”

Wang nodded, and Dugu led everyone to Wang's small mill at this time, the beans in it were still in the basin, and the water in the stones for grinding the beans had frozen.

Dugu asked people to bring a bowl of hot soup to Wang and Chen for them to drink, and then began to ask, and the inquirer was naturally Ye Xing,

"When did you find out that the child was missing?"

Wang put down the bowl in his hand, crying and said: "I got up this morning to grind beans and found that my little treasure was missing, I have always given my son a bowl of soy milk to drink, but today when I came to my son with soy milk, I found that his bed was empty, and the bed was already very cold, I was very scared, so I went to look for my son, but I didn't find it for a long time, so I went to the yamen to report." ”

Wang's son's room can be seen standing at the mill, the room is very small, and in that small room there is a very small bed, the quilt has been lifted, there is a bowl on the ground in front of the bed has been broken, and the soy milk in it has frozen.

What the Wang family said was the truth, and Ye Xing then looked at the Chen family and asked, "Tell me about your affairs." ”

Chen nodded: "I also found out that my son was missing this morning, I thought he was playful and went out to play, but I searched for a long time but didn't find him." After Chen finished speaking, he wanted to cry again, and Ye Xing hurriedly asked, "You heard the sound of the flute in the middle of the night. ”

Chen shook suddenly, as if she had heard the flute again in the middle of the night,

"Yes, it was about the middle of the night, my son suddenly shouted to relieve himself, I was too cold, so I let him get up and solve it by himself, about a while later, I had already fallen asleep, at that time I heard the sound of the flute, the sound of the flute was melodious, and it sounded like it made people want to sleep even more."

After Chen finished speaking, Ye Xing's heart tightened, so to speak, Chen's son Xiao Xie did not fall asleep, he heard the sound of the flute, and then pushed open the door and ran out by himself,

But who played the flute, and what was his purpose?

The snow was still falling outside, Ye Xing glanced at the snow on the ground outside and asked, "Have you noticed the footprints in your home?" ”

Chen and Wang didn't understand what Ye Xing meant, but they still nodded and said, "I once saw that near my house, there were only my son's footprints, but after the footprints were about ten meters away from my house, my son's footprints suddenly disappeared. ”

"Gone." Ye Xing asked with some surprise,

Chen and Wang nodded: "That's true, the footprints have really disappeared." ”

Ye Xing was silent after hearing this, this matter is indeed very difficult to do, as if it is not artificial,

Dugucai comforted Chen and Wang, and then left Wang's small mill with Ye Xing, and after they left, Dugucai asked Ye Xing: "What does Lord Ye think about this matter?" ”

Ye Xing's brows kept locking, and he didn't know what to think about this matter, but since Dugu had just asked, what did he have to say?

"It's hard to say what happened now, from the accounts of Chen and Wang, it can be seen that their sons quietly left the room and came to the street after hearing the flute in the middle of the night, but after they walked more than ten meters, someone robbed them, and from the footprints on the snow, it can be seen that the person who robbed the child was very light, and he was able to leave no footprints on the snow, or the footprints left were very shallow, and when others found out, the footprints were already covered by the new snow."

"In this way, someone deliberately used the sound of a flute to attract children who woke up in the middle of the night, and then abducted them." Dugu Cai asked with some concern,

Ye Xing nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case, but this also makes us feel more at ease, the person who robbed the child didn't intend to kill anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have to rob the child." ”

Everyone understands this, but even if the man doesn't kill the child, and they don't get the child back, I'm afraid this is a very serious matter for them.

When they returned to Dugu's house, Battle had not come back, everyone was walking back and forth in the living room, very anxious, at this time, Battle hurried back, when he came back, his face was hot, as if he had been running for a long time,

"But there are clues about those two children." Dugucai hurriedly asked,

Battle drank all the tea on the table first, and then said: "Back to my lord, I sent someone to search the entire streets and alleys of Yanjing, but there was no clue, I asked many people, and they all said that they had never seen those children. ”

Now that Battle has no clues, Dugu sighed, did these two children disappear out of thin air?

Ye Xing thought for a long time, got up and said, "Can Brother Battle go to the suburbs to inspect." ”

Battle shook his head: "This is not the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for those children to go to the suburbs." ”

"It's really difficult for children to go to the suburbs, but the person who robbed the child is different, when the child can't see his mother, he will definitely cry and make a fuss, even if the robbers intimidate those children, they will be distressed, because they don't know what the robbers are going to do, so if the child is placed in Yanjing City, it is a very unsafe thing, but the suburbs are different."

Now hearing Ye Xing say this, everyone suddenly understood a little in their hearts, and Battle immediately said: "In this case, I will go to the suburbs to find it again, and I can't let those children suffer anymore." ”
