Sure enough, in Di Ying's mind: when a group of barefoot children were running past, they saw another embroidered shoe that was also somewhat old and damaged.
It happened to be a pair with what Di Ying was holding.
It was also taken off.
Since She Xiaoyu took off the shoes himself, there was a high chance that nothing would happen to her.
With such expectations, Di Ying quickened his pace and ran almost at a trot until he reached the abandoned area in the south.
During this period, a trace of a slip and fall was also discovered.
It was an extremely obvious slip on a pool of unknown putrid liquid. However, the traces of slipping showed that it was caused by a person wearing shoes who slipped.
Although the traces were relatively fresh, the footprints were definitely not those of She Xiaoyu.
Moreover, on the edge of the liquid trace that was pulled out after being stepped on, there was half another person's footprint.
Proof: The person who slipped and fell passed here slightly later.
The area at the corner between the west city wall and the south city wall has been demolished, and no new buildings have been built. There are only broken stones and wood on the ground, and a few broken houses that have not been completely demolished.
Di Ying shouted: "Xiaoyu, I am Lord Di Yingdi, where are you? Respond to me."
While walking, crawling, or turning over, I searched everywhere in this waste area for places where there might be some light rain.
His voice echoed in this abandoned area, fluttering in the night wind.
However, no matter how much I shouted or searched, I couldn't get any response.
Those dilapidated houses with one or two walls collapsed were the first targets Di Ying wanted to search for, but there were none, none, and still nothing.
However, in one of them, I found fresh traces of footprints left by walking back and forth.
But the footprints were obviously not those of She Xiaoyu.
There are some footprints that have been around for a while, like those left by She Xiaoyu.
There are also marks on a few rocks where someone has sat on them or scratched them with branches as if out of boredom.
This shows that there is a high probability that She Xiaoyu will indeed come here to "sit", and he will not come alone.
There are also fresh footprints walking back and forth, indicating that someone came here between Xu Shi and Hai Shi last night.
The person who came seemed to be waiting for someone, and he was very anxious.
It is now midnight on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
And those old traces can prove that She Xiaoyu was not alone when he came here in the past.
There was another man, a young man.
Judging from the footprints: the person is about 170 centimeters tall and weighs about 60 kilograms. The feet are size 39, so the person's age should be between fourteen and sixteen years old.
She Xiaoyu is 13 years old, about 152 centimeters tall and weighs about 38 kilograms.
It is very possible to find a place to express your feelings with such a man.
So, last night, She Xiaoyu made an appointment with someone to meet here, so that's why she didn't go home and came here instead, right?
But based on the footprints left by the young man, it can be judged that She Xiaoyu did not come last night. The other party did not wait for her.
Why did She Xiaoyu's two shoes prove that she was heading here, but the other party didn't wait for her?
At this time, Nie Bo and Xu Si arrived.
The other brothers have spread out throughout Xicheng District and started searching from house to house and street to street.
Only Nie Bo and Xu Si rushed over after the sound of their adults.
As soon as Di Ying saw the two of them, he said: "You continue to look for any suspicious people or objects in this abandoned area. If you can't find the whereabouts of She Xiaoyu at all, go to the surrounding houses to inquire.
Ask them, even if you go door to door, if they have seen a little girl like She Xiaoyu between Xu and Hai last night, or have you heard of anyone who has seen a little girl like that. "
At that time, there were actually not many people walking around outside. Di Ying just did not let go of any possibility and investigated.
After giving the instructions, Di Ying walked back.
His current guess is that She Xiaoyu turned around because of something or some reason before he reached the abandoned area.
Why turn? This is the most direct and shortest way to reach the abandoned area.
Did you get halfway down the road and find someone following you behind you? Did you get scared and turn around?
Di Ying walked back along the wall.
When I arrived at the corner of the narrow street back-to-back between Shouchang Street and Shouming Street, I found the footprints of She Xiaoyu, who was suspected to be wearing socks.
Because there was a little bit of rubbish left by some unknown rotten thing under the wall, it was discovered by the sharp-eyed Di Ying.
She Xiaoyu did indeed turn around here.
And walking along the wall does seem to be avoiding something.
Obvious: She Xiaoyu was scared when she came here.
So I immediately turned into this narrow street, probably because I wanted to walk to an alley and then walk home.
In Jingyifang, there are four streets running in the same direction. There are three main streets and two narrow streets between the backyard gate and the backyard gate, with alleys connecting them.
Di Ying followed the increasingly unclear footsteps, turned into this narrow street, and pursued further.
In the first alley heading towards Shouyong Street, I found a pile of rotten hay that could not be used again.
Di Ying stood in front of the haystack, looking at the fresh traces of being disturbed on the haystack, and then at the alley wall next to the haystack and the pool of blood close to the ground.
The upper and lower rows of teeth are clenched.
Zhou Lin noticed the adult's gaze and also noticed the pool of blood.
Without thinking, he used the scabbard to clear away the pile of weeds.
Hey Xiaoyu, I found it.
His face was bloodied, frightened, and cold, and he was found.
Di Ying took a deep breath, changed a pair of gloves, and began to conduct a preliminary examination of the body under the light of the torch.
While checking it, a picture appeared in my mind.
She Xiaoyu, who is 152 centimeters tall, felt a little excited in her heart, stimulated by her own courage. When she passed by the house without entering, she wanted to run to the abandoned area.
Run to the place where you often talk to your friends about your concerns.
She excitedly wanted to tell her friends that she had fought back. This was the first time she had fought back against someone who bullied her.
But while I was running, one of my shoes broke.
She simply took off the bad shoe.
After running for another twenty or thirty steps, I felt that wearing a shoe on one foot was awkward and uncomfortable, so I simply took off the other shoe.
Psychological liberation often means that physical constraints will be reduced.
Just like that, she ran towards the waste area wearing only her socks.
Maybe it was because he had run too far, since he had just started running from the private school, or maybe because his thin body was tired from running, so he stopped against the wall and took a few breaths.
At this time, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind.
