Chapter 33 investigation
North City, Vicas Hotel.
Shen Nanxiao sat alone in the living room with his usual black coffee without sugar in his hand.
At this moment, a message came from his phone.
Wu Feng: “President, Mr. Li has invited you to Qingya Villa for a cocktail party the day after tomorrow.”
Shen Nanxiao only picked it up to take a look and didn’t have any intention of rejecting it.
The Li family was a business magnate in North City. The Shen and Li families had never interacted before, but this was also a good opportunity to get to know each other. Seeing that it was almost time, he had to rush to the next meeting. He wondered what his little girl was doing.
One o’clock in the afternoon.
Baishun Town.
Liu Qi came to Zhao Ling’s shop again. She entered the shop under the pretense of buying something
Madam Zhao naturally didn’t suspect anything. The little chubby boy was sitting at the counter playing with his phone, but the phone wasn’t the Xiaomi Mixas from the morning.
This wasn’t a big deal, but when she saw Mr. Zhao holding the phone, Liu Qi suddenly remembered something.
She remembered that a corner of Madam Zhao’s phone had been revealed from the pocket of her jeans. The phone was black, just like the phone the child was holding.
This was what she saw when she was talking to Madam Zhao in the morning.
If the child had his own phone, he wouldn’t play with his parents’ phone.
Seeing Liu Qi stop at the walnut section and look as if she was thinking about something, Madam Zhao introduced, “This is our town’s specialty. It’s nutritious.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll take a bag.” Liu Qi smiled as she took out a bag, then glanced at the little chubby kid and said to Madam Zhao, “Madam Zhao, the child is still young. It’s best not to buy a phone for the child to play with. Children don’t have strong self-control, and it’s easy for them to get addicted.”
Hearing what Liu Qi said, Madam Zhao hurriedly said, “I didn’t buy him a phone. It’s mine.”
After saying that, Madam Zhao snatched the phone from the little chubby kid who was playing games and said, “You only know how to play with your phone all day, and you don’t even read the picture book I bought for you! Go read your picture book.”
After paying the bill, Liu Qi also realized that there was a middle-aged woman among the poker players. The one she was holding in her hand was a Xiaomi Mix2s!
What did this mean?
Liu Qi didn’t know either. She quickly returned to the rental apartment, but Yue had already left. Liu Qi didn’t know where she had
gone.
She had no choice but to call Yue and tell her about this.
On the other end of the phone, Yue only said perfunctorily, “Okay, I got it.”
At 6 pm, Yue still didn’t come back. Liu Qi wondered where Yue had gone either. As time went on, she felt more and more uneasy.
Knock knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw that Yue was back.
Looking at the dirt under Yue’s feet and the strange smell, Liu Qi asked curiously, “Where did you go?”
Yue didn’t reply. She just walked to the sofa and sat down.
“I went to do something else. Also, the woman you mentioned lives next door to Zhao Ling’s apartment.”
After hearing Yue say this, Liu Qi thought for a while and asked in surprise, “Zhao Ling’s neighbor kidnapped Zhao Ling?”
“Where did you get this idea?” Yue asked instead of answering.
Liu Qi said, “Didn’t you say that the phone Zhao Ling used was…”
Without waiting for Liu Qi to finish, Yue interrupted, “There are a lot of people who use this phone model.”
“Alright, I’m going to take a shower.”
Liu Qi said, “This place… doesn’t seem to have a water heater.”
Yue said, “Then let’s go out and ask around.”
The two of them had just left the apartment and went down to the first floor from the side of the apartment.
Not long after, the two of them drove to the entrance of the town. At this time, there were already a lot of old ladies sitting there.
They were talking at the same time in a lively manner.
There was also an extremely small shop here. It was full of small snacks. Some of them were probably expired.
At this time, Yue dragged Liu Qi and ran over to the counter of the small shop.

The small shop looked a little dirty, but at this time, one of the old ladies stood up. She hunched her back and walked over while asking, “What do you want to buy?”
“Grandma, I want this bucket of lollipops. Can you count it for me?”.
Yue acted like a country bumpkin, but in the end, Liu Qi still paid. Fortunately, she didn’t just pay with her phone. She also had a few hundred dollars on her.
After paying the bill, Yue began to ask, “Grandma, I want to ask you something. Do you know why Zhao Ling dropped out of school?”
Hearing this question, the old grandma became spirited, but she also asked curiously, “Why are you asking? What is your relationship to her?”.
“It’s like this. I’m a classmate of Zhao Ling’s. I felt baffled when she suddenly dropped out of school,” Yue explained.
“Then you’re asking the right person!” The old lady showed a look of disdain and said, “How else could she drop out of school? She got pregnant.”
“Huh?”
Seeing that Liu Qi didn’t believe her, the old lady continued, “That girl looks very promiscuous. During the New Year, I saw her getting out of a small car with two men. I greeted her at that time, but she didn’t say anything and just left. She didn’t even walk properly. After a few months, her mother and father let her drop out of school. If it wasn’t because she got pregnant, what could it be?” The old lady said it as if it was a matter of fact, so when Yue heard it, she left with Liu
Qi.
Liu Qi, who was sitting in the car, felt a little helpless. Sometimes, she felt that Zhao Ling was fine at home.
If she was really pregnant, perhaps Zhao Ling had an abortion and was recuperating at home. Then, was Zhao Ling’s plea for help a prank or was it real? Soon, Yue stopped the car at an intersection. “Get out.” “Where are we going?”
“Behind Zhao Ling’s apartment.”
It was getting dark. They turned into an alley. Behind the alley, there was an empty space with a few old-fashioned apartments.
Liu Qi followed Yue to the back of Zhao Ling’s apartment. As expected, there was a back door.
“If Zhao Ling left from here, it’s somewhat believable,” Liu Qi said.
“That’s not right!” Yue narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch the rusty iron door. She walked to the window and tiptoed. She took out her phone flashlight and shone it in.
“Hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Liu Qi, afraid that she would be seen as a thief, quickly went to pull
Yue.
However, Yue didn’t listen to Liu Qi and gently pushed the window.
The creaking sound made Liu Qi’s hair stand on end. She looked left and right because she was afraid that she would be discovered.
Yue suddenly said, “Come and help me.”
“Take off your shoes before stepping on my shoulder.”
“Gee, you’re so heavy. Can you hurry up?!”
Suddenly, Liu Qi felt her shoulder become lighter. Huh?
She looked up and saw that Yue had already disappeared!
Where was she?
Had she gone in?
Before Liu Qi could react, the iron door was opened a crack. With a slight sound, the door opened.
Liu Qi was speechless.
Yue said, “Come in.”
“No!” Liu Qi shook her head and tried to persuade Yue to leave.
If this kind of behavior was discovered by others, they would be sent to the police station!
“Shh! Listen.” Yue made a silent gesture to signal for her to be quiet.
Sob…
Sob…
It seemed that there was someone crying!
Yue had already walked inside. Liu Qi’s heart beat faster. She looked around and saw that no one had noticed her, so she could only brace herself and go inside.

“Yue – Yue ~”
“Shh! Follow me.”
Yue held her hand and walked inside carefully. This didn’t seem to be the first floor. At least, Liu Qi didn’t see any shelves.
However, here, the sobbing sounds seemed to be even more obvious. When Yue felt safe, she turned on the flashlight. Instantly, the light filled the entire
room.
