Chapter 78 The child is gone
Chu Qing's eyes fell on the rag doll, and he frowned, then he heard the person who brought them come forward and tell Zhong Xuan: "Master Baihu, according to the peddler at the place where the accident happened, the cause of the incident is the two The refugees rushed into the street because of the rag doll, disturbing the carriage, which caused the horses to panic! The yamen heard about this and sent people to drive here, and they will deal with it later."

"Rag dolls?" Zhong Xuan wondered that these two refugees were two lunatics, and without saying much, he waved his hand and asked them to press the two lunatics down first, so as not to hurt anyone.But before he could push her down, suddenly the female refugee turned her head and saw the child being held by the woman. The child had been crying because of the shock earlier, and the female refugee suddenly screamed and rushed towards the child. In the past, she screamed in a hissing voice: "My child—my child—" Her voice was too shrill, and the child who had just been comforted was scared to cry again, and her mother quickly hugged her up.The Jin Yiwei brought by Zhong Xuan came to his senses and quickly held down the female refugee. She struggled to snatch the child. The male refugee also rioted and went to grab it too. Jin Yiwei pressed him to the ground. For a while, the whole street It was the crying of a child, and the screaming and roaring of the two of them.But no matter which sentence it was, they didn't let go of the child and wanted to grab it.

Chu Qing's eyes fell from the child to the rag doll tightly held by the female refugee: "Brother Zhong, after asking, how about taking these two people back to Beizhen Fusi?"

"Why?" Zhong Xuan didn't understand why she insisted on taking two lunatics back. Normally, the Kyoto Yamen was in charge of this kind of situation.

"Didn't you say that many children were missing in the counties below the capital? I suspect that this pair of refugees is a couple, but because the missing children couldn't bear it, it led to madness." Chu Qing found that they would only treat some special children. It's the point where they go crazy, first the rag doll, then the child, so it is the child that is most likely to cause them to go crazy.Other people's children will naturally not cause them to be like this, unless something happens to their own children.It's no wonder that Chu Qing thinks of the missing child before. After all, if the child is sick and has an accident, it will indeed make the parents sad, but they will not go crazy one-on-one, unless it is caused by external causes. Under the unbearable heart, both went crazy.

Chu Qing told Zhong Xuan about her doubts, and Zhong Xuan felt that it was very reasonable, so she let the two guards stay and let them deal with the matter. The two refugees were taken back to Beizhen Fusi.

Chu Qing first followed Zhong Xuan back to the Department of Refuge, and the two refugees were quickly brought over. After Chu Qing asked them to clean them up, they changed into clean clothes and found that they were a very young couple. The couple, but their minds are still not very light, the woman has been holding the previous rag doll tightly in her hands, her eyes are blurred, her body is trembling slightly, and she will scream loudly from time to time, which is extremely piercing.Compared with the woman, the man is slightly better, but he just ignores the person, tightly holding the woman's hand, his expression is also chaotic, and he keeps muttering: "Look...find...find..." It's just that he Because of madness, he stuttered and was confused, so he couldn't hear clearly.

Chu Qing's heart was slightly touched, and she became more and more sympathetic to the refugees. Wen Sheng softened her voice and began to ask the man. The man who cleaned up looked about 27 or [-] years old. Chu Qing guessed that children of this age were about seven or eight years old. How impatient it must be to suddenly disappear.

Chu Qing asked the refugee patiently: "You see, she likes this doll very much. She must have liked your child very much before, right? The child is very cute, right?"

The man's expression was in a trance, when he heard the child, his eyes lit up suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, and he stared at Chu Qing.Zhong Xuan stood behind her, afraid that he would suddenly hurt Chu Qing.Chu Qing asked softly again: "Is your child cute?"

The man seemed to be caught in some kind of fantasy, and he laughed: "...but, cute... Azai is very cute, a soft and small ball, very cute..." He gestured carelessly, but only the little The little one was hugged in his arms, with his hands hanging in the air, dangling with a fascinated expression, and lowered his head from time to time, sticking it to his arms, as if the little child was in his arms at the moment.

Chu slightly narrowed his eyes: Did she guess wrong, their child is not seven or eight years old, but just born?
She has stayed in Qingshui Town for so many years, and knows that there are babies who are just born and have not yet been named. When they are a little older, they will find a husband to give them a suitable name.It's just that they don't know where they came from, but they are also called Ah Zai.

Chu Qing sank her thoughts, and then said persuasively: "Azai is very cute at first glance, can I hug him?" After she finished speaking, she looked at the man's hand sincerely.

The man suddenly withdrew his hand, sat back tightly, and stared at her vigilantly: "Don't grab it! Don't grab my baby! Bad guy!" Somehow touched the man's nerves, and he screamed, even Kicked over two stools.Chu Qing finally calmed down, his brows were deeply furrowed, he was very concerned about other people getting close to the child, if the child disappeared by himself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the case, it was snatched away in front of them?Who is so bold?
After the man was appeased, he kept his head down and muttered: "Look...find...the capital...the capital...find..."

Chu Qing waited for his mood to stabilize a little, and continued: "Do you know Qingshui Town?" Since he also called the child A Zai, it should not be far from there. If he can tell the name of the place, he can also ask for the other party's identity information .

The man seemed very sensitive when he heard about Qingshui Town!He suddenly raised his head: "Qingshui... the capital... find... find... the capital... Qingshui..."

Zhong Xuan frowned when he heard it behind him: "He's talking so confusingly, can he really ask anything?"

Chu Qing muttered a few words: "Qingshui? Capital?" They are in the capital at the moment, do they come from Qingshui Town?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?Chu shook his head lightly.She asked a few more words, but the man didn't say anything, and the woman only had the word "children" in her mouth when she asked. She thought, since it is next to Qingshui Town, let someone take their portraits to Qingshui Town Just ask, if there is someone you know, the identity of the other party will be confirmed.

Chu Qing told Zhong Xuan about this matter, and because she was also very concerned about solving the child's disappearance case, she quickly asked the painter to come over and paint their portraits, and sent people to rush to Qingshui Town to ask the other party identity, and some detailed information.

Zhong Xuan finished the matter, and because he still had business to do, he asked someone to take the two refugees down, and said a few words to comfort Chu Qing: "You and Miss Miaoyu were shocked today, so let's take a good rest. Go get busy first, and ask the people in the township department to do anything." Zhong Xuan waited for Chu Qing to respond, turned around and was about to leave, and when he reached the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said: "By the way, you mentioned earlier As for Zhao Kuiwu, I inquired about it later. He did come here two months ago. Since then, he hasn’t moved around much, and he is very low-key. .”

"Madam is seriously ill? The child is gone?" Chu Qing suddenly raised her head: "What do you mean the child is gone?"

Zhong Xuandao: "The specifics are not very clear, it seems that Zhao Kuiwu just had a child a few days ago, but he couldn't keep the child, so he was sad and moved his family to the capital, leaving that sad place. "

Chu Qing's mind suddenly exploded. For some reason, she always felt that something wrong with the maid of the Zhao family came back to her. She frowned. What was wrong?

"What's wrong?" Zhong Xuan asked, seeing that her expression was not right.

"I'm fine, please trouble Brother Zhong."

"My brother, you don't have to be polite." Zhong Xuan was also really busy, and left after a few words of comfort.Qiao Yu poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Qing, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with the Zhao family?"

Chu Qing was restless, and always felt that there was a serious point, but she just couldn't think of it, and another thought flashed by, but she just couldn't grasp it, she shook her head: "It's nothing." But when she heard that child died Yes, Chu Qing's heart sank, thinking of Aunt Mei's death, she died indiscriminately, and now even the child died, was it really an accident?Was the child's death really an accident?

She simply stood up: "Come on, go out with me." Chu Qing went out again, but this time, she did not go to Liu's house, but to Zhao's house. Zhao's new mansion is a different place. The courtyard is just facing the street, and opposite the Zhao Mansion is a tea house, which is very lively.When she passed Zhao's house, she turned a corner, entered the tea house with Qiao Yu, went up to the second floor, and found a place near the window, just in time to see the gate of Zhao's house, and everyone who came in and out could see it Clearly.She ordered a pot of tea and a few small dishes. At this time, there were storytellers in the teahouse, and most of them were on the first floor, so there were only one or two tables of guests on the second floor. When Xiaoer came to serve tea, she couldn't help but say something: "Young master, don't you want to listen to the book?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "I like quietness, I want to be quiet here."

Xiao Er has never seen that the teahouses that come to teahouses are intended to be quiet, especially those teahouses that are famous for storytelling, but each has its own preferences. Xiaoer can’t say anything because there are no customers. He has been standing not far away to wait.Chu Qing waited for a while, almost waiting for the remaining guests at the table to leave, and Qiao Yu stood aside in an orderly manner, but with the appearance of Qiao Yu, he made the little girl look over frequently.Chu Qing raised her eyes and looked at the little second, who quickly looked away, Chu Qing smiled: "Little brother, come here, there are no guests around right now, sit down and chat with me."
