Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Xia Donghai brought his men to the courtyard with a gloomy face.

There was a home invasion yesterday, and today the victim disappeared.

It's hard not to think that someone wants to kill and silence the witness.

But the question is, if the intention was to silence them, why were the two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang, still alive?

Especially Banggeng, who experienced it firsthand, should be the one to be killed.

However, this is just his guess, and there is no evidence to prove that Qin Huairu is dead.

After cordoning off the scene and questioning the people in the yard, Xia Donghai was stunned.

No one had seen Qin Huairu this morning, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

There were no signs of the door being pried open, and the first person who opened the door this morning also said that the door was locked from the inside and no one had gone out.

This was strange. Could Qin Huairu have climbed over it? But after checking the top of the wall, there was no sign of anyone having climbed over it.

In short, all signs point to one thing, that is, Qin Huairu disappeared out of thin air.

However, Xia Donghai did not make a judgment immediately, but first sent people to search the surrounding area for Qin Huairu's whereabouts.

They also took Banggeng and Xiaodang back to the police station for protection.

Qin Huairu's disappearance reminded him that if Scar Brother and others knew that the police were arresting them, they might come to retaliate against Bang Geng and others.

Two children, without adult supervision, would definitely not be a match for someone like Scar Brother.

Inside the police station, Banggeng was lying there, with Xiaodang sitting beside him.

People passing by would look at Banggeng with pity. Poor kid, being...

"Brother, does our mother not want us anymore?" Xiaodang asked with a hint of tears in her voice. Although she was a little precocious, what kind of intelligence could a five-year-old child have?

Seeing that there was no familiar person around and his mother had disappeared, Xiaodang couldn't help but feel panicked.

Banggeng also pretended to be calm. He was ten years old and knew more. He analyzed some things from the words of the police. His mother Qin Huairu suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason and was very likely dead.

As for not wanting him and Xiaodang anymore?

Banggeng didn't have such an idea in his mind. He knew how important he was to Qin Huairu.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could our mother not want us? She was just delayed by something. Don't think too much. Just wait until the police find our mother."

He comforted Xiaodang and also comforted himself.

Time passed little by little, and the people sent out to look for Qin Huairu had no clues, and everyone said that they had not seen Qin Huairu today.

No one had seen Qin Huairu in nearby supply and marketing cooperatives, shops and other crowded places.

It's like he really disappeared from the face of the earth.

In the police station office, Wen Tailai handed Xia Donghai a document.

"This is the Jia family's network of relationships. Speaking of the Jia family alone, only Jia Zhang, Banggeng's grandmother, is still alive.

She is currently serving her sentence in a women's prison outside the city. We have contacted them. Due to some reasons, Jia Zhang had four fingers amputated by her roommates and her left leg was also amputated. Her current condition can only be described as being alive.

There are still people in Qin Huairu's hometown, Qinjia Village. A few days ago, one of her cousins ​​came over to help take care of Banggeng. However, Qin Huairu doesn't have much contact with her family, and their relationship is average.

Listening to Wen Tailai's report, Xia Donghai also pinched his forehead.

Such information would certainly be useful for investigation, and the police station couldn't possibly let Banggeng and Xiaodang stay here forever.

They must be sent to their guardians. This information is for preliminary investigation.

If Qin Huairu is found within a certain period of time, or if Qin Huairu comes back on her own, then nothing will happen.

If they couldn't find her, or if they confirmed that Qin Huairu was dead, they would notify her family and see who was willing to take in the two children.

If no one is willing, then we can only send Banggeng and Xiaodang to an orphanage.

"Are there any suspects in the courtyard?"

Wen Tailai thought about it and shook his head, "Although it's not right to say so, I guess not.

The He family is the only one in conflict with Qin Huairu's family. It's about Bang Geng desecrating the remains of He's daughter-in-law, Yang Shufen. But they've negotiated privately about this. It's over."

"No matter what, the He family is still a suspect. We can't take it lightly. We should question them according to the rules.

Send more personnel to expand the search area and find Qin Huairu and the Scar Gang as soon as possible. Also, notify Qin Huairu's parents to see if she has returned home.

"Yes!"

The kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

The He family father and son were worried and had no concentration on work.

Especially He Daqing, who sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Dad, you said Qin Huairu's matter, the police won't come after us, right?" Sha Zhu asked worriedly. You know, at the moment, his two families are the only ones in the courtyard who have a grudge against each other.

"Probably not, but questioning is inevitable. Just tell the truth when the time comes. What we do is not illegal." He Daqing lit a cigarette, feeling a little regretful.

Qin Huairu is missing, so all the ideas in his mind are doomed to fail.

"Well, let's just take a bath. The new guy in the cafeteria, Liu Lan, seems pretty good. I heard her say her husband is dying, and she'll be a widow by then."

He Daqing is worthy of being He Daqing. Qin Huairu had no hope and immediately turned her attention to Liu Lan.

But Liu Lan is not a widow at the moment, and not his type, so she can only be a backup option.

Time passed little by little, and soon the day was over.

When people came back from get off work in the courtyard, they found that everyone in the family was hiding at home and not going out.

This is a rare thing. Logically speaking, something as big as Qin Huairu's happened.

There should be groups of three or five people in the courtyard, or people gathered together, talking about Qin Huairu's whereabouts.

But today was an exception, there were few people in the yard.

As soon as those who went to work came back, they were immediately pulled back into the house by their families, as if there was some kind of monster outside.

Jiang Daniu returned to the house and asked, "What's going on in the yard? Why is no one talking?"

Shen Yue told them that everything was fine this morning, and as usual, everyone was discussing Qin Huairu's affairs.

But who knew that after noon, someone spread the news that Qin Huairu was taken to the underworld by a wronged spirit.

As soon as this topic came up, it instantly added a bit of weirdness to the disappearance of Qin Huairu.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, and one creative idea after another popped up.

The main topic of discussion is, who is the wronged ghost who is seeking revenge?

Some people said it was Old Jia. Jia Zhang’s soul-summoning technique was delayed, so Old Jia was summoned up now. As a result, Old Jia recognized the wrong person and took Qin Huairu away.

Some people also said that Jia Dongxu missed Qin Huairu so much that he came up and took her away.

Chapter 591: Scar Grabbing

Some people also said that Yi Zhonghai came back for revenge because Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu refused to help him pay off his debts.

Until someone said that the baby that Qin Huairu aborted and the baby that Jia Zhang was forced to abort came back together for revenge.

This is the beginning of a somewhat credible supernatural event.

Then someone else said that children like to have playmates and are likely to attack other people in the yard, especially children.

This scared everyone and no one let their children go out today.

"What you said makes sense. It's normal for everyone to be scared." Shen Yue said.

Jiang Daniu nodded. "Although we don't really believe this, Qin Huairu's sudden disappearance is indeed a problem. Maybe someone is causing trouble, so it's better to be cautious."

There is no shortage of human traffickers in any era. According to Jiang Daniu, it is unlikely that ghosts are at work.

It is very likely that a human trafficking gang took a fancy to Qin Huairu and kidnapped her in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing is not groundless. In the past, some families did not have wives but wanted to continue the family line.

They would pay human traffickers to find someone who looked fertile or had given birth to several children, and then knock them out and take them away.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Even decades later, the practice of buying a wife still exists.

"You have to keep an eye on the child from now on. He can't run around."

"I see. The second brother and his wife were lucky. They were out on a business trip and didn't encounter this incident."

No one doubted that Jiang Fan was responsible for Qin Huairu's disappearance. He was still dozens of kilometers away.

No one would believe that a man could travel a hundred kilometers overnight and kidnap a woman in her prime without alerting anyone.

No one would believe such a thing unless you add a touch of superstition to it. But the police wouldn't dare do that either.

Therefore, Jiang Fan and his wife, who always have an alibi, and Xu Damao and his wife were the first to be excluded.

Another three days passed, and Banggeng and Xiaodang also stayed in the police station for three days.

During these three days, the two children cried countless times and called for their mother countless times.

The comrades at the police station tried to coax them countless times, but they couldn't just let these two children go home.

Then maybe not even a bone would be left.

But now three days have passed, and not only has Qin Huairu not been found, there is no news about Scar Brother and Brother Long either.

This made Xia Donghai, the person in charge, very upset. He decided that if there was still no clue by tomorrow, he would discuss with Banggeng whether to find a guardian for them among their relatives or send them to an orphanage.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Qin Huairu could basically be considered missing. The police station couldn't keep two children.

Just when he was suffering, his general Wen Tailai brought good news.

"Report, we have captured the remaining three members of Scar's gang."

"Hurry up and arrange the interrogation. I want to do it myself!"

Xia Donghai was overjoyed. He put on his hat and went into the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, the three teenage hooligans deeply understood their mistakes under the friendly education of the public security comrades, and readily confessed all the affairs of the gang.

After Xia Donghai learned that it was Banggeng who first approached them and paid them to destroy one of Yang Ergou's eyes, he frowned.

He had originally thought Bang Geng was just a dishonest person. He hadn't expected him to be so cruel. This had significantly lowered his impression of Bang Geng.

He looked at Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermaizi and said sternly, "Do you know where Scar and Xiaolong are now? If you confess now, it will be considered a meritorious service and your punishment will be lighter."

Li Si and Wang Ermaizi shook their heads. They hadn't seen Scar Brother and Dragon Brother since their actions. Besides the fifty yuan Bang Geng had given them, they hadn't seen a cent of the rest of the money.

Zhang San, on the other hand, seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something.

After Xia Donghai realized it, he had Li Si and Wang Ermaizi taken away.

"Zhang San, do you have any clues? If so, tell me now. You should know that because of your mistake, Bang Geng's mother has disappeared. If someone dies, your guilt will only deepen."

Zhang San couldn't stand the pressure anymore and spoke.

"After dinner the night before, I went to find a hidden door and played with it for a while. Then I went to a black market in the west of the city, where I saw a man who looked like Scar."

"Black market? Where is it? What is Scar doing there? Buying and selling things?" Xia Donghai frowned. If it was just buying and selling things, this clue would be of some use and would narrow the scope of the search.

"No." Zhang San shook his head. "He should be a manager there, maintaining order."

Xia Donghai immediately opened his eyes wide. The murderer was about to be caught.

After finding out the location of the black market, Xia Donghai returned to the office and made a few phone calls.

Then ask people to prepare for the evening's inspection operation.

The black market that Scar and his companions joined was a small one, but it was backed by a larger black market, so it didn't matter.

It just so happens that this time the gang was busted and the seized supplies can also relieve the pressure on the police station.

Late at night, at a black market in the west of the city.

Scar Brother and Long Brother were smoking and guarding the road, with quite comfortable looks on their faces.

They had been living quite well these past two days, and each of them had about 180 yuan in their pocket, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the two of them.

Especially since both of them were carefree guys. Except for being a little worried on the first day, they let themselves go on the second day.
