Grocery Store No.514 - Chapter 181
Niuniu put the chocolate in her mouth and let it melt slowly, she was reluctant to chew.
Ling Huaan patted the heads of the three of them in pain, looked at Xiaohu and Xiaolang, and said, “You eat too, don’t take it, neither you Uncle Jiang nor you like sweets, that The chocolate in the glass is yours.”
“Thank you uncle.”
The little tiger and the little wolf looked at each other and began to move the chocolate in their hands. Niu Niu said with satisfaction: “Brother, this chocolate is delicious, much better than the one we stole.”
The little tiger and the little wolf nibbled at the chocolate, with pure love shining in their eyes. Ling Huaan couldn’t help sighing in his heart, this is the look that children should have.
Hua Ting came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, looked at Ling Huaan in the living room, and said, “Huaan, the noodles are ready, come and eat.”
Ma Liangchen came out of the kitchen with a tray, walked straight to the restaurant, and said with a smile, “Come here for dinner, the fried noodles made by Grandpa Hua is really fragrant.”
Ling Huaan stood up, pointed in the direction of the bathroom, and said, “Go, uncle will take you to wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
The four of them washed their hands carefully, Ling Huaan walked to the restaurant surrounded by three little animals, smiled and said, “Niuniu, this is my grandfather, that is Uncle Ma, the three of you will look like each other again. Grandpa and Uncle Ma introduce themselves.”
The three little ones huddled beside Ling Huaan in fear, and said their names one by one.
Hua Ting smiled gently and said, “Okay, let’s all sit down, it won’t taste good if the noodles are too much.”
Ling Huaan took the lead in pulling out the chair and sat down, saying, “This is the first time I have eaten my grandfather’s cooking, but thanks to the three of you, sit down, I’m getting hungry. died.”
The three little ones sat down next to Ling Huaan, and the little tiger, as the eldest brother, took the initiative to sit at the farthest position.
Ling Huaan picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, “Eat it, if it’s not enough, let Grandpa do it.”
Hua Ting just felt amused for a while after hearing this, but didn’t say anything, turned around and went to the kitchen, took a plate and vinegar, and said, “If you like vinegar, pour it yourself.”
The three little ones saw Ling Huaan eating, and they also picked up chopsticks and ate. At first, they ate in small mouthfuls, and then they ate them in big mouthfuls. In the end, there was no soup left. , the whole bowl was licked clean by them, Ling Huaan and the three of them felt unhappy when they saw it.
Ma Liangchen said, “Are you full? If not, uncle still has it here.”
Xiaohu glanced at Ling Huaan and whispered, “I’m full, thank you uncle.”
Ma Liangchen could see that his mouth was not right, he pulled his bowl over and said, “Uncle is not hungry, you can help uncle to eat to save food waste.”
Xiaohu lowered his head and looked at the bowl in front of him, feeling aggrieved, tears falling down his cheeks into the bowl, he picked up the bowl, picked up chopsticks, and devoured it.
Seeing this, Ma Liangchen patted him on the back and said, “Eat slowly, if it’s not enough, my uncle will go out and buy it for you.”
Ling Huaan looked at Niuniu beside her and asked, “Is Niuniu full? Be honest.”
Niuniu shook her head shyly and said, “Uncle, I’m not full.”
“Liangchen, go down and get two packs of instant noodles back, it will take too long to make again.”
Ma Liangchen responded, stood up and went downstairs.
Hua Ting sat in Ma Liangchen’s seat and asked, “What do you usually eat?”
“Meat, raw meat, grandma said you can only eat that, otherwise you will be hungry.” Niuniu seemed to think of something, her face turned pale.
Ling Huaan was no exception at all, the old woman obviously wanted to treat them as animals, let them eat raw food, and slowly dehumanize them and turn them into the monsters she wanted.
Hua Ting frowned upon hearing this, looked at Ling Huaan, and said, “Huaan, what’s going on with them?”
Ling Huaan explained the scene of the fight between Xiao Huzhuang and the old woman in detail, and concealed what happened in the woods, not because he was worried about Huating, mainly he felt that this matter should be dealt with alone Hua Ting said it was better.
“You mean that the Hao family uses them to lure/abduct children everywhere for experiments, turning them into monsters for their own use?”
“So far it seems so. Niuniu said just now that they have ten friends, and only three of them survived. I guess the other children were tortured because they couldn’t stand the evil spirits. died.”
“The Hao family is really unconscionable, and everyone deserves it!” Huating paused, then asked: “That old woman, how did you deal with it?”
“She devoured her two souls and seven souls, leaving only a remnant of her soul to maintain her life. From now on, she will no longer have a soul.”
“Okay, well done.” Huating naturally understands why Ling Huaan did this. Although they are members of the Xuanmen, what they do is to eliminate harm for the people, but now is a civilized society. They also have to follow the social order, which is the best result so far.
“When the Jiang team returns, I will let him find their biological parents according to their characteristics, and find the bones of those children who died tragically and properly bury them.”
“Okay, just let it go, grandpa will always support you.”
Criminal Investigation Team Office, Jiang Chengyan was sorting documents in the office, the door was pushed open, Liu Ran came in from outside and said, “Captain, we checked around, the neighbors said that Yang Xiaolan is from The quality is good, the neighbors get along very well, except for her husband, she has never been seen with the opposite sex.”
Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly and said, “Have you checked her recent communication records?”
“I checked. Except for a few regular poker friends, Yang Xiaolan seldom contacted others. On the day Liu Xiaohan disappeared, several poker friends she often contacted were playing games. Mahjong, I didn’t leave at all, I really can’t think of a way for a person with such a simple relationship to communicate with others.” Liu Ran paused and said, “Captain, I don’t think this murderer is an acquaintance of Yang Xiaolan. Otherwise, how could she not hear that person’s voice?”
“Voice changer, this is the usual method of kidnappers. Liu Ran, I understand your feelings, but the most taboo thing for us to investigate cases is to carry personal feelings. I hope you can keep this in mind.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Have you asked Yang Xiaolan about this situation?”
“Ask her? Isn’t this a slap in the face?”
shelter.”
Liu Ran’s eyes lit up and said, “I’m confused, I’ll go find Yang Xiaolan.”
“Tomorrow, it’s too late now, sort out the information on hand and get off work in a while.”
Liu Ran looked up at the clock on the wall and said, “Oh, it’s so late, then captain, I’ll go out first.”
“Okay, you go out.”
Not long after Liu Ran went out, Yao Min came in again and said, “Captain, there is a new discovery.”
Jiang Chengyan was shocked, and quickly asked: “What did you find?”
“I went to the kindergarten again today and asked Liu Xiaohan’s teacher to confirm the situation. The teacher recalled that on the day Liu Xiaohan disappeared, when the murderer picked her up, there was a little girl next to her, about 5 , 6 years old.”
“Little girl? What does she look like?”
Yao Min handed the portrait in his hand to Jiang Chengyan and said, “This is a sketch I drew according to the teacher’s description. She said that it was seven or eight similar. She also said that it was because of this little girl. She is very familiar with Liu Xiaohan, and because Liu Xiaohan is called a man’s father, she lowered her vigilance and didn’t ask any more questions.”
Jiang Chengyan took the portrait and looked at it, and said, “Tell the technical investigation department, let them synthesize photos, compare them in the database, and find out the whereabouts of this little girl as soon as possible.”
Yao Min hesitated and said, “Captain, what do you think this little girl has to do with the murderer? She is about the same age as Liu Xiaohan. Could it be that the murderer also caught her?”
“No matter what relationship she has with the murderer, we must find out her identity. No one can guarantee her safety around such a psychopath.”
“Yes, Captain, I’ll go right away.”
Jiang Chengyan frowned in thought at the desk, and after a while, he suddenly stood up, walked out of the office, and happened to meet Su Ke who came to look for him.
“Su Ke, you are looking for me, is there a new discovery on the body?”
Su Ke handed a document to Jiang Chengyan and said: “I found some wood chips in the nails of the deceased, it should be the wood chips of locust. That is where she was trapped, it was locust Made of wood.”
“Acacia wood? You mean that the place where Liu Xiaohan was imprisoned has furniture made of locust wood.”
“To be exact, the place where he was imprisoned should be a cage made of locust wood, which is the simplest kind, because I didn’t find paint or other ingredients in the sawdust.”
“According to you, there should be locust trees near the murderer’s house, locust trees…” Jiang Chengyan whispered softly, and then said: “If I remember correctly, there is a locust outside the yard where Lu Hao was imprisoned. a locust tree.”
Su Ke’s eyes lit up and said excitedly: “Yes, I was there when the scene was searched. There is indeed a locust tree outside the yard, and the tree is not short.”
“It seems that Lu Hao was kidnapped and Liu Xiaohan was killed by the same person.” Jiang Chengyan thought about it and said, “No, Hua An said that the two are not the same person.”
“No one said there was only one person living in that yard!” Su Ke couldn’t help reminding: “The Hao family has been passed down for hundreds of years, how could there be only a few people.”
“That’s right, I’m the one who got it right.”
“Chengyan, let’s go take a look now, so as not to have too many dreams at night.”
Jiang Chengyan said with a serious look: “No, it’s night, and the yin and grievances are heavy. The two of us don’t know anything about magic. Now we can only die. Su Ke, don’t be in a hurry. , I’ll go back to find Hua An now.”
Su Ke had a complicated look on her face, and said with a wry smile: “Chengyan, why do you think I’m so useless? I couldn’t save Jingjing back then, and now I can’t take revenge for her with my own hands.”
“Su Ke, I just said that I was a bullshit, why is it your turn now? Although there are many things we can’t do, it’s not useless. Everyone has their own existence. The meaning and function of the world. Just like you are a forensic doctor, and dissecting corpses is your specialty, Hua An must be incompetent. Just like he is a ghost man, he is best at dealing with grievances and ghosts, but we are powerless. “
Su Ke took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, patted Jiang Chengyan on the shoulder, and said, “You are right, I have my expertise, he has his strengths, As long as I try my best to make use of my expertise, I will always help him. Chengyan, please help me with a word for Hua An, and say that the affairs of the Hao family will trouble him more.”
