Brocade clothing

Chapter 203
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes: "You mean, Zhao Dabao went in by himself, not the old man Tao brought him in?"

The neighbor man nodded: "It should be. At that time, Zhao Dabao looked around and rushed in quickly. He didn't see old man Tao at that time."

Chu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and then looked at Aunt Zhang: "When did you find out that Zhao Dabao was missing? When was the last time you saw Zhao Dabao?"

Aunt Zhang thought about it carefully, "It was around noon, when Dabao's mother came to bring him lunch, and after a while, the food at home was ready, so I came and dragged my granddaughter back, my granddaughter I usually play with Zhao Dabao. At that time, I didn’t see Zhao Dabao. I wondered if Dabao’s mother took him to the stall. This happened before, so I didn’t think much about it...but no Thinking of... how this poor child was killed like this."

When the Zhao couple heard the sad part, they stared at old man Tao. If it wasn't for the lobby, they would have rushed over.

Chu Qing's gaze fell on Aunt Zhang again: "Ma'am, is your granddaughter outside?"

Aunt Zhang nodded, but her eyes flickered when she glanced at the back, a little nervous: "Yes, the old woman and daughter-in-law are watching." Ever since Zhao Dabao had an accident, no one dared to let his family The child ran away.

Chu Qing narrowed her eyes, looked away from the strange look on Aunt Zhang's face, and glanced at the yamen servant: "Go and bring that little girl here."

When the little girl was brought over tremblingly, Chu Qing didn't let the little girl kneel down, squatted in front of her, and coaxed her: "Are you called Xiaodie?"

The little girl was very cute, probably because she was not so scared when she saw Chu Qingxiao's amiable appearance, Tiandian nodded: "My name is Xiaodie."

Chu Qing first asked a few random questions, and after seeing that the little girl answered obediently, she suddenly asked inadvertently: "Then Xiaodie, come and tell sister, when was the last time you saw Zhao Dabao the day before yesterday?"

The little girl tilted her head, seeing that Chu was smiling lightly, without being nervous, she immediately said, "He's gone peek-a-boo!"

"Huh?" Chu Qing narrowed her eyes, "Hide and seek?"

Aunt Zhang's complexion changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Then she was about to pull the little girl over, and her face was a little ugly, but she was stopped by Chu Qing. Seeing that the little girl was frightened, she comforted her. After a few words, seeing the little girl with red eye circles, she touched her head and said, "Why did Peekaboo disappear?"

The little girl's eyes were red, "It's just...it's gone... We played hide and seek, it's his turn to hide, we didn't find it..."

Chu Qing picked up the little girl: "How many other people are there besides you?"

The little girl nodded, and Chu looked at Aunt Zhang lightly: "Aunt Zhang, you will be guilty of concealing the truth if you are found out."

Aunt Zhang seemed to be frightened: "Forgive me, my lord. The old woman is... just because she was afraid of being implicated... so she didn't say... But it was indeed the old man Tao who was the victim. The old woman only found out yesterday that her granddaughter was with her at first. Zhao Dabao was playing peek-a-boo, and it happened to be Zhao Dabao's turn to hide-and-seek at that time, but the old woman didn't know it, and just when it was time to eat, she called her granddaughter away, who knew... this child was too playful, so she forgot about it The incident, we cried and said it out after something happened, we were afraid...we were afraid of being misunderstood...that's why..."

The Zhao couple were stunned by crying: "Ms. Zhao, you..."

Chu Qing's brows frowned even tighter, feeling that something was wrong, she walked towards the corpse, and untied the white cloth, Zhao Dabao's corpse was too horrible to look at.Chu Qing thought, at that time Zhao Dabao should be playing peek-a-boo with Xiaodie, just when he saw Tao Laohan's door was open, he hid in, but Zhao Dabao disappeared later, but Tao Laohan said he didn't kill anyone, the next day, Zhao Dabao Dabao's body appeared in the well at the end of the street.

If Zhao Dabao was really killed by old man Tao, why did he take off the child's clothes?Is it to prevent people from knowing the identity of the child?But that being the case, why didn't he just throw the corpse farther away?Instead, he threw it in the nearest well and scratched his face. It turned out that a child had just disappeared here. It was useless for him to do so.

These are all suspicious points in this case, but when Zhao Dabao entered Old Man Tao's house, it didn't necessarily prove that Old Man Tao killed him. Could it be that something else happened during this period?
Chu Qing carefully looked at Zhao Dabao's body again, just looking at it, but her brows were wrinkled. She glanced at the child's hand, it was covered with tiny wounds, and there were even some thin wounds on the fingertips. Yuzi, turn the child over again and find that there are some marks on the child's back, which look like they were scratched by stones in the well, but Chu Qing's eyes are poisonous, and he can tell at a glance that he was beaten with a whip before he died.

She stood up suddenly, squinted her eyes and looked at the Zhao couple: "How do you treat your children?"

The Zhao couple were stunned: "Ah? Naturally, we hold it in the palm of our hand. We are such an only son, and we dare not even let him bring water on weekdays, but who knows, he was killed by someone..."

Chu Qing saw that they were not cheating, what's more, Zhao and his wife were not at home during the day, and there was no work to do at home. Mrs. Zhang just took care of them, and she didn't dare to do this. Those thin cocoons could not be formed in a day or two. Yes, this child was obviously abused to death, not like Zhao Dabao who was spoiled and raised, thinking of something, Chu Qing narrowed his eyes, thinking of a weird possibility.

She narrowed her eyes suddenly, turned her gaze, and looked at old man Tao: "Did you hear anything the night before yesterday? Think carefully, this may be evidence that you didn't kill someone."

The Zhao couple were taken aback for a moment, and shouted excitedly: "My lord!"

Chu Qing narrowed her eyes and looked sharply: "Quiet!"

Old man Tao was already determined to die. He didn't kill the person, but someone did see Zhao Dabao enter his room. He thought that he was going to die, but Chu Qing suddenly asked that he was dead. There was a gleam of light in his eyes, and he thought about it carefully: "What is the sound of what the lord said?"

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just a very slight noise, or the sound of struggling."

Old man Tao thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of something and said: "After I came home that night, I seemed to hear some movement, but it was very subtle. First, it was a mouse. The old man even went to the cellar to check, but found nothing. Later, I went to make a shift. Then I came back at dawn and fell asleep, and then I was sued by them, and I was dragged here for a day... Other than that, there is nothing else."

Chu Qing frowned: "The cellar is usually closed?"

Old man Tao didn't know why Chu Qing asked this, and nodded: "It should be, but the old man took something and forgot to turn it off the day before yesterday... Later, the old man was afraid of losing things, so he turned it off."

Chu Qing inexplicably took a breath, and stopped looking at old man Tao, and quickly looked at Ying Zhenxing: "Ying Yatou, go to old man Tao's house as soon as possible, and search the cellar carefully!"

Ying Yatou didn't understand either, so he asked, "My lord?"

Chu Qing rubbed his brows: "This kid is not Zhao Dabao. I suspect that Zhao Dabao accidentally broke into Old Man Tao's cellar while playing hide-and-seek the day before yesterday. He is probably still there now! Get someone to call for a doctor right away, and follow him." Go, I'm afraid it's that child..." It's been three days, I just hope that child is okay.

The whole lobby was dead silent for a while, and the people watching outside were also stunned, and they didn't speak for a long time: Isn't that Zhao Dabao?Zhao Dabao is not dead?
The Zhao couple screamed first, and looked at Chu Qing excitedly: "Really, my lord? This is really not a great treasure?" They wept with joy, but when they saw Chu Qing's dignified face, they suddenly felt a thump in their hearts, thinking of Chu Qing Let the doctor go there together, and then thought that if what the lord said was true, wouldn't Dabao have been locked in the cellar for three days?

Then... isn't it...

Mrs. Zhao just rolled her eyes and fainted.

With great joy and great sorrow, the lobby suddenly became chaotic. Chu Qing waved his hand and asked Ying Zhenxing to take someone to rescue them. Then, among the people who squatted down and pinched Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath and started crying after a while He got up, struggling to get up, and was about to crawl out, but was stopped by Chu Qing: "When you go there, crying and fainting will add to the confusion, don't worry, Ying Yatou is fast, if Dabao is really okay, he I will definitely be able to bring the child back to you."

The Zhao couple hugged their heads and began to cry, crying so that Chu Qing's heart was a little confused, but if she had no backbone at this time, there would be no one to take charge of the overall situation. Besides, besides Zhao Dabao, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, there was also Who is this kid?Why was the corpse thrown here at this time... If you calculate backwards, this child was deliberately thrown here, the purpose is to make the Zhao couple mistakenly think that this is their child, then this child should be the one from earlier. He was tortured to death, just when he heard that the Zhao family had lost a child, Li Daitao was delayed just like that, and the living Zhao Dabao was delayed.

Otherwise, it is impossible to tell why the child threw the corpse here, just as his clothes were gone, and his face was also blurred.

As for why the old man Tao didn't hear Zhao Dabao's voice, it was probably because Zhao Dabao fell asleep after hiding, and then woke up and it was dark, so he started to want to go out. He probably hid because he was afraid that the other party would scold him, but he didn't expect Old Man Tao to lock the door of the cellar.

Later, the child must have been very hungry, and for some reason, he didn’t make a sound. It is estimated that when he wanted to call someone later, Old Man Tao was taken away as a murderer, and no one wanted to go to Old Man Tao’s house to have a look...

This series of coincidences resulted in the current situation.

Chu Qing thought of the thief who threw the corpse and abused him, and his eyes turned cold: "Where is the servant?"

The two yamen servants immediately stepped forward: "My lord!"
