Chapter 137: flyer

Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu with an umbrella in his hand, looked at him slightly strangely, and said, "What are you doing with the umbrella?"
"it works."
Gu Xizhou turned around the corner and saw a row of bungalows next to it. There were about ten rows in a row. On the other side of the street was a four-story building built by a peasant. It was also built into a small single room for rent.
However, at this time, there seemed to be no one at all. Gu Xizhou looked at it in the past, and the door was closed. Gu Xizhou still wanted to knock on the door. At this time, Si Yu stopped him and said, "It ’s useless to knock, sure no one."
Gu Xizhou said: "Why?"
"All the people who live near here are working from other places. Ningqing is in the rainy season in summer and cannot go to work in rainy days, but today is a sunny day. The residents are busy on the construction site, and of course nobody is home." Si Yu explained.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the time on his watch as he walked. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon. He couldn't go to the construction site or factory to find someone to understand the situation, right?
"I'll go, how long does this have to wait."
"Don't worry, those people will come back for an hour at most." Si Yu said casually.
Gu Xizhou turned to look at him, just then, a drop of water hit his cheek suddenly.
Tick ​​ticking, the road was dusty and the air was full of the smell of dust. Gu Xizhou was about to go to the parking place, and an umbrella appeared over his head. "Did you know it was going to rain?"
Si Yu held his umbrella with one hand and whispered softly: "When I drove you in the morning, the radio broadcast said that there was a heavy rain."
"Why didn't I hear?" Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow.
"You fell asleep."
The two were close together, and Si Yu's low, husky voice seemed to rub against the eardrum, making people feel a bit itchy. Gu Xizhou looked at him helplessly, and the two walked back with umbrellas.
The heavy rain pours on people's body and it hurts. There are puddles on the ground, water drops splash, and a water splash bursts instantly, which makes people covered with muddy water.
Several criminal policemen hurried into the police car and wiped off the water with paper, complaining:
"What kind of ghost weather is it? If it rains, it rains, isn't it?"
"Unfortunately, today is simply a bad start. I didn't go far enough to encounter this heavy rain."
"Well, Gu is not in the car!"
I don't know who mumbled, everyone found that their co-pilot was missing one person, subconsciously looking for the trace of Gu Xizhou, looked at the Bentley luxury car next door, and there was no one in the car. Lao Guo took it out His mobile phone sent Gu Xizhou a WeChat message—
"Gu team, where are you? It rained, we all got back on the train!"
Gu Xizhou glanced out at the rainwater flowing down the shed like a tap water outside the window, and replied, "I'm at a resident's home. I'll continue the investigation after the rain stops."
Everyone heard Gu Xizhou's voice coming from his mobile phone. It was you who looked at me and I looked at you. Why didn't they meet such a good tenant? Have to run back in the rain!
At the door of a private house, the sophisticated Qingjun man folded his umbrella and erected it at the corner of the door. Then he turned to thank the owner of the house.
"Thank you for letting us come in to shelter from the rain." Si Yu's voice was very loud, because the old man's ears were not very good. Only by increasing his voice, the white-haired old man could barely listen to Si Yu's words.
The old man sat on the old chair, shook the chair slightly, shook it, and waved at Si Yu, "You're welcome."
Gu Xizhou got up and walked over. The old man was a local farmer. They were about to leave just now. The enthusiastic old man opened the door and invited them to come in to shelter from the rain. Even with such a big fish outside, even if they had an umbrella waiting for them to go back, their trousers were all wet.
"Uncle, thank you."
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be polite to the old man!" The old man grinned and said, "After my wife left, my sons and daughters were all in the city. I was bored by myself. Seeing you young people, I feel happy in my heart. "
Gu Xizhou smiled, and while looking out, he asked the grandfather, "Uncle, ask you something. Is there a child lost around here?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know this, I don't go out very much, young man, what do you ask this for?"
Gu Xizhou took the police card from his bag and explained: "My police came to investigate."
"Oh," the old man and the old nodded and said, "In fact, I can't see clearly. There are migrant workers who come to work in the city nearby, otherwise they are local farmers. I haven't heard of any traffickers. "
"It's not that someone is a trafficker, but we suspected that there might be a child missing here, but we didn't receive a report, so come and see."
The old man's murky eyes opened, and it seemed strange, "How could a child be lost, and the parents didn't report the case? I think the child is not ours."
"We also feel strange."
The old man said: "But there are farmers who work in cities nearby, and there are not many children. If they are really our children, they should be easy to find.
"You see, there are 23 people living in this four-story house I built, only two with young children, and the rest are couples who work in the city, leaving the children in their hometown, alas, I want to say that Reading in town is really too much trouble. "
The old man said a few words, Gu Xizhou can only sigh that the old man is indeed too lonely, very talkative, the rain has not stopped, Gu Xizhou has seen some people come back in the rain, and the workers in twos and threes have returned.
The place where the old man asked Gu Xizhou and Si Yu to take shelter from the rain was the place to go upstairs. Open the door and you can see the people walking upstairs from the side. The old man seems to have a good relationship. There are many men and women passing by the door. People also greeted the old man from time to time.
After about 30 minutes, the heavy rain outside finally stopped. After Gu Xizhou and Si Yu thanked the elderly, they left hurriedly and walked to the next stairs. According to the information just asked, they found the households with children and asked if they were there. The child is missing.
"I haven't heard of any children lost. Comrade police, did you find the wrong place?" The dark-skinned, thick man scratched his head and replied.
"No children are lost around here?" Gu Xizhou asked again.
"No, all the workers living near here are familiar. Although they are unfamiliar, they have also met on the construction site. If anyone's child is gone, it must have been spread on the construction site."
The saucy man added: "My child was delivered to the school in person today, and I certainly did not lose it."
...
After asking a few families, none of the children who rented a house here had heard of any children lost, which made Gu Xizhou a bit difficult.
The suspicious person must be someone nearby, otherwise it would not disappear there, but if no children are lost nearby, then only the parents who have reported the missing can be notified to the police station to identify the body.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou had some headaches.
The visit took a long time, and it was soon at 6 pm. Gu Xizhou saw a large wave of men and women in the same uniform returning home from afar.
Gu Xizhou had to visit again. He walked to the door of the family and knocked on the door. The door opened was a thin, middle-aged man. After years of baptism, his face was covered with deep gullies. All kinds of garbage picked up from the outside, and an indescribable smell.
"Who, who are you looking for?" The thin man's eyes flickered, and he asked quietly, apparently afraid of strangers.
"Hello, I'm a policeman. I want to find out more about you." As Gu Xizhou said this, he noticed that the thin man trembled violently, and couldn't help drawing a question mark in his heart. This person seemed very Are you afraid of the police because you are afraid of this profession or because of something else?
"You, you say." The thin man nodded.
Gu Xizhou Shen said, "I asked your neighbor just now, there are children in your family. How old are your children?"
"One three years old and one eight years old."
Three years old!
This age is in line with the age of the child where they found the body. Gu Xizhou hurriedly asked, "I just looked at it. I didn't see your child. Didn't they return to school?"
The thin man shook his head: "The younger returned to my hometown with my wife, and the older one is still in school today."
Gu Xizhou heard, "Is the young a son?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"So ... have you been in touch with your wife recently? Are they in their hometown now?"
"Of course! Of course I have to contact her. I returned to my hometown a few days ago and called me." The thin man looked at Gu Xizhou vigilantly, and seemed a little confused and doubtful. "What do you ask this to do?" ? "
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to determine if there are any children around here."
Thin man: "No, I haven't heard anyone say it."
"okay, thank you."
After saying goodbye to the skinny man, Gu Xizhou found several other colleagues and asked, "Did you find it?"
"No, no children are lost here."
"If the murderer really lives here, after our toss, we must be alert," Gu Xizhou thought for a while and said, "In this way, you now inform the local police station and let them immediately start a census to bring this neighborhood All the people who live there are entered in the file, and contact the homeowners here to help them notice if anyone has recently cancelled their rent. "
The people took the order and immediately went to execute the order. Gu Xizhou turned around and saw Si Yu looking at him. Gu Xizhou stepped forward and said, "I'm still busy today, you should go home first."
"It's all right." Although it had just rained, but the weather was still very hot, Si Yu didn't know where to find a blank piece of paper to use as a fan.
Gu Xizhou gave him a funny look, and was trying to say why Si Yu didn't get on the car and turn on the air conditioner. His eyes stopped when he saw the white paper, and he grabbed the white paper in Si Yu's hand, and frowned. Into a Sichuan word!
This white paper was printed as a leaflet in black and white fonts. Gu Xizhou glanced at the above propaganda content and saw that it was a cult propaganda. At the same time, a weird symbol was in the middle of the leaflet, and this symbol happened to be dead. Symbol on little boy's arm!
Gu Xizhou stared at Si Yu and asked hurriedly, "Where did it come from?"
Si Yu pointed to a distant house, blinked at Gu Xizhou and said, "It was too hot just now. Take a random one in the waste paper downstairs in that building."
