Chapter 499 Rose-Oil Painting (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Twelve Oil Paintings (Part 1)

The small pharmacy downstairs from the residential building has no fixed closing and locking time.

Hong Xinyu pushed and pulled the glass door which was a little sluggish, and stepped aside to make way for a young man wearing a mask, hunching his shoulders and coughing dryly a few times. He lowered his head and nonchalantly smoothed the wrinkles on his white coat which had accumulated from sitting for a long time. His peripheral vision seemed to unintentionally glance at the figure disappearing into the corner of the building. Then he slightly relaxed the strength that was tightly gripping the door handle, picked up the sign that said "Open" and turned it to the word "Closed", then rubbed his hands vigorously, whose skin was chilled by the night breeze blowing through the building, went back to the cashier counter of the drugstore, and wiped the forehead of his little daughter who was drowsy while holding her IPAD.

"Have you finished watching the latest episode of Mengji? After you finish, help dad bring the lunch box upstairs."

The girl was so sleepy that she drooped in Hong Xinyu's arms, humming and rubbing. She rubbed her eyes for half a minute before biting her nose and letting Hong Xinyu pick up the hat and put it on her head: "What about you?"

"I'm leaving early today. I'll go upstairs after I pack up. Can you and mom wait for me upstairs? Mom has just been discharged from the hospital. Can you help dad take care of her for a while?"

"it is good!"

The girl answered crisply, raised her head, and jumped into the door of the building almost opposite the small drugstore with a small cloth bag carrying a pile of lunch boxes. Hong Xinyu followed her for two steps, bent down to pick up the woolen hat that his little daughter had not put on tightly and slipped off, then slowly straightened his back and looked up, watching the corridor sensor lights light up from the first floor to the fifth floor. Less than half a minute later, the girl threw off her coat and leaned against the kitchen window, stood on a small stool and looked downstairs, and waved excitedly to Hong Xinyu.

Hong Xinyu raised his head and waved his arms in response, shook off the dust on his woolen hat, and stepped back.

The loose contact of the "Medicine" doorplate light was flickering in the wind. Hong Xinyu was thinking about which part of the interface was loose, and was shivered by the night wind between the buildings. He stretched his neck to look around for a while without finding anything, then raised his hand to support his stiff neck. Before turning back to the house, he accidentally glanced at the folding square table that had just been broken down in the fly restaurant next door.

The huge and thick gold chain looks fierce and fierce.

Hong Xinyu glanced at the backs of those fat heads for two seconds and quickly turned his head away. He almost tripped while stepping on the steps in front of his house. He leaned on the door handle in panic and barely managed to steady himself. He tilted his head to glance at the two young men who ran over to help him, and nodded in thanks: "Oh... Thank you - I'm about to close the store, I want to buy -"

Hong Xinyu tilted his head to look at the two people, one in front and one behind. He intuitively felt that they didn't look like a couple. He swallowed the word "contraceptive pills" that was on the corner of his lips and stumbled. "Yes... I have a headache. Do you want to buy some medicine?"

"No need for medicine."

Jiang Mo chuckled lightly and fumbled around for the police ID that she didn't know which pocket it was tucked in, but in vain. However, Xiao Letian behind her looked over her shoulder and thrust the police badge in front of Hong Xinyu. Hong Xinyu's whole body tensed up almost instantly. He turned back abruptly in the direction where the hunched young man had disappeared. He hissed as if something was wrong, and his eyes flickered at the police ID that was almost touching his nose.

"Tang Jia, do you know her?"

Jiang Mo first reached out and leaned forward, grabbing Hong Xinyu's arm, which was subconsciously dodging. He pretended to be ignorant and looked around as Hong Xinyu glanced around: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" "Uh...nothing - it's the guy who just bought cold medicine from me, and he also took two bottles of health drinks from me. I forgot to remind him that health drinks and cold medicine cannot be taken together."

Hong Xinyu swallowed and hesitated, pausing stiffly for a few seconds before awkwardly meeting Jiang Mo's curious gaze. He first broke free from Jiang Mo's unintentional tight control without leaving a trace, raised his head and waved to his wife and children who were still lying on the window sill upstairs, watching the door of the small pharmacy, blinked quickly, propped open the glass door, and led them into the house with his arm as if to signal: "Tang Jia... I have met her a few times, two officers... why don't we go in and talk, go in and talk..."

The cute chicken cartoon on the tablet was still playing automatically at a low volume, chattering about how children should not tell lies casually - Hong Xinyu paused in his action of locking the screen, and in a bit of irritation he deleted all the background playback software and exited. He leaned against the glass medicine cabinet, pulling at the fur ball on his little hat from time to time, and frowned as he looked at the law enforcement device with a flashing light on the front pocket of Xiao Letian.

"There's really nothing going on between Tang Jia and me... She was beaten badly by Feng Dong at that time, and I... did help her a few times... But I was just helping to take care of her - her son... Feng Yao is about the same age as my daughter, and the child has been beaten by his father since he was a child. It's normal that I can't stand it, right?! Tang Jia later came out and wanted me to take her away, but I clearly rejected her. This is simply impossible... After she made it clear, she didn't come to bother me. It just so happened that my wife's second pregnancy was not stable, and I haven't seen her during this period of time-"

"The second pregnancy is not stable..." Jiang Mo walked around the small but complete pharmacy with his hands behind his back. Finally, he stopped by the cashier counter and tilted his head to look at the handwritten receipt book with carbon paper on it. "Did your wife find out about you and Tang Jia?"

"This is my family affair." Hong Xinyu's voice sank, and he suppressed his expression as he watched Jiang Mo flipping through the receipts and deposit slips: "...If you want to check the accounts, please go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. But...what happened to Tang Jia?"

"Missing." Jiang Mo couldn't quite understand the scribbles on the receipt. In order to avoid adding unnecessary burden to Wen Chen's investigation, he glanced at it and threw it away. He turned to look at Hong Xinyu's surprised and stunned expression. "It was almost not long after she asked you for help."

Hong Xinyu choked and was silent for a long time: "Where is the child? Is the child okay?"

"It was little Feng Yao who called the police. After investigation, the disappearance is basically true. Now a case has been filed with our detachment around the corner." Jiang Mo shrugged: "However, it is difficult for a three-and-a-half-year-old child to provide us with any conclusive and effective evidence. After several investigations, we finally found out about Boss Hong's small pharmacy."

"You can investigate and ask about my wife's visit to the hospital to preserve her pregnancy. Ever since Tang Jia came to see me and my wife found out... I have basically been either taking care of my daughter or in the hospital. I really don't know where she went or what happened to her... She didn't contact me again... If I had known, I would... at least help her find a friend to arrange a place for her to stay..."

Hong Xinyu raised his hand and scratched his hair twice. It was hard to tell whether the annoyance on his face was real or fake. He sighed for a moment and then suddenly raised his eyes. He frowned hesitantly, and his voice rolled up and down in his throat: "Uh... there is a situation... I don't know... how to say it... It may be that I... said it one-sidedly... But if this person can't be found... it's not a big deal..."

Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows and looked back at Xiao Letian, who was chewing a box of vitamin gummies that were sticky.

"What about Tang Jia's situation?"

"Hmm..." Hong Xinyu nodded heavily, and shook his head slowly twice: "Besides me, I remember seeing Tang Jia often calling someone... I don't know who it is exactly, but I heard that it was the same man, but it seems that she didn't avoid calling home, and she also said once, 'Feng Dong is still in the hospital'... I guess... they are quite familiar with each other."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
