Di Ying stopped asking, turned around and walked out, saying to Qiao Xiong: "You are the head catcher yourself. Go and find a witness for your daughter."
After that, he left.
Qiao Xiong: "..."
He glared at his daughter hatefully. He was about to send Master Di away, but was stopped by Master Di's guards.
Qiao Xiong understood that the most important thing now was to find time witnesses for his daughter, so he stopped and asked about the route his daughter took and who she might meet.
After Di Ying walked out of Qiao's Mansion, he said to Xie Jing, "Blow the whistle and pass on the news. Search all the main streets and narrow alleys in Xicheng District carefully."
At first, Di Ying believed Zhuang Kaiji's words and She's father and She's mother's words. He believed that they had carefully searched all eight streets in Liangfang City in Xicheng District before reporting the case.
But now, whether it was Zhuang Kaiji, Shefu, Shemu, or even Qiao Xiong and Qiao Xiuyuan, Di Ying didn't believe it.
Hearing Xie Jing's whistle, Di Yingcai said to Zhuang Kaiji, who had been following him silently, "Go to Shen Xiaoyu's house."
When reporting the crime, Zhuang Kaiji said: She Xiaoyu had no friends in private school.
But according to common sense: no matter what kind of person, there will always be attraction.
She Xiaoyu was bullied in private school and had no friends, so there must be a friend near her living environment who can let her express her concerns.
Sure enough there is.
She's mother, who had not yet fallen asleep and was still worried about her daughter, answered: "It's Qiu Zhichen, the youngest son of the Qiu family who sells noodle soup next door.
He is only one year older than my daughter, and they have grown up together.
When they got older, although they didn't interact so frequently, the housewives noticed that the two of them still found places to talk secretly in private. "
That’s it.
Such friends are the ones who understand She Xiaoyu best.
Especially those who understand where She Xiaoyu will hide after being wronged.
Because she didn't believe what those people said, Di Ying decided to walk in person in the direction where She Xiaoyu disappeared.
The private school is in Jingmenfang, and the homes of Shen Xiaocun and Qiao Xiuyuan are both in Jingyifang.
Going further west from Jingyifang is the West City Wall.
Luozhou is a battleground for military strategists, and twenty-three years ago it experienced repeated wars. Therefore, like those cities that are mainly used to prevent foreign enemies from attacking the city, there is a military channel about fifty meters wide inside the city wall.
This is convenient for soldiers to run around or carry things when war breaks out. It is also a safe isolation zone to prevent the enemy from using trebuchets to throw stones, or fire rockets, hit or burn down residential buildings.
There is also a relatively low square wall in the square market next to the battle passage. Only two meters high.
After twenty-three years of peace and war in Luozhou, the walls of these buildings had holes or collapsed. Therefore, the city is not as strict as the closing curfew.
Now, along the dilapidated walls, there are garbage sites in every narrow street.
Di Ying returned to the private school and walked again from the private school along the route that She Xiaoyu used to take home.
Walk back to Shouquan Street and the main entrance of Shenjia Steamed Bun Shop.
Looking at the shop with the door panel closed, Di Ying thought for a while, then walked through the nearby alley and went to the back door of She's house.
Most shops have backyard patios, so they all have a back door.
Di Ying remembered: She's father said that She Xiaoyu's favorite place was the back door of his house.
This is just in line with someone like She Xiaoyu who has a somewhat autistic personality.
Because when she goes to school and when she comes back, the main entrance of the shop is always the busiest time.
Di Ying, standing outside the backyard door of She's house, tried to put herself into She Xiaoyu's emotions at that time.
The little doormat who always swallowed his anger suddenly burst out with courage after being frightened by the mouse and ran to find Qiao Xiuyuan.
Say that the other person is not any more noble than you. She has a father, but Qiao Xiuyuan is just an abandoned baby found by the trash can.
Then she watched Qiao Xiuyuan collapse.
I wiped away the grievances, the grievances that were forced to burst out, and the fear of being frightened, and ran away.
I ran home in one breath and stood outside the backyard door panting. Suddenly I had the thought of not going home.
Because my tears will not be noticed by my family.
At the same time, I feel a little secretly happy because of my courage.
So, where will it go?
Thinking about it, Di Ying walked towards the west.
At the end are the dilapidated walls of Fangshi and a garbage dump at the end of a narrow street between back-to-back residential houses.
It's quite a large rubbish site made of large rocks.
The garbage inside, every day when it is dark, there will be oxcarts specially used to transport garbage, and they will be taken away and piled in the big pit at the garbage main point outside the city.
Waiting to be turned into fertilizer and then irrigated into farmland.
There are ceramic shards that cannot be covered up, etc., and the man who scoops the fertilizer will pick them out when he is watering the ground.
Not talking about that, Di Ying felt that her thoughts were running too far.
It's not yet dawn time for garbage delivery. The garbage has been piled up here all day long. It's a lot and very smelly.
But before Di Ying could cover her sensitive nose, she discovered a girl's embroidered shoe under the outer wall of the last house, three meters away from the garbage pit.
It was very dark, and Zhou Lin held a torch.
But just by the light of this torch, people can clearly see at a glance: it is a girl's shoe.
Di Ying walked over quickly, took out her gloves and put them on as she walked, and then picked up the shoe.
After looking at everything carefully, he asserted: "This is the shoe of She Xiaoyu's left foot. The thread on the outside of the shoe is cracked, so it fell off.
And she took it off herself.
Look at the soles of these shoes, there is still a little bit of dough on them. Come on, let's walk along this wall to the south. "
Because the toe of this shoe faces south.
Moreover, the number of lanterns and torches on the gate tower of the city wall in the south is more than that in the west. It looks brighter.
It's dark, and a little girl is walking outside by herself. No matter what her personality is, she will always go to a place where there is light, or where the light is brighter.
Even after walking close to there, where did he hide? At least there is light shining on it, which makes it feel a little more secure, right?
Furthermore, She Xiaoyu took off this shoe by himself, so, according to common sense, walking in one shoe would not be very comfortable, and he would have to take off the other shoe before long.
Children of the common people are actually more accustomed to walking barefoot. One is to save shoes, and the other is convenience.
