After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

 Chapter 411 That Child

This thief said it casually, but Gu Mingda was moved in his heart.

He still remembered the various rumors he heard while staying overnight at Li Yuanwai's house on the way.

Even though he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he never showed it on his face. Instead, he scolded the thief on trial: "It's ridiculous. This person was obviously tricked and sold by you, and he actually dared to talk about the monsters with strange powers and chaos. thing!"

The thief looked aggrieved at this time and said: "Sir, if these children are really sold by us, why are they hiding it from us like this? There is no need to move them away in the dark? They will definitely let them go. If we send them directly out of the city, is it possible that so many people are still being sold in the capital?"

Gu Mingda had actually considered what the thief said. After all, if the children were really kidnapped and sold in other places in the capital, it would not be cost-effective in any way.

First, prices in the capital are relatively high, so most people from outside the city come to the capital to sell, because they can sell them at a higher price in the capital than in other places.

Secondly, this place is at the foot of the emperor and is heavily guarded. It is inconvenient to abduct or sell people.

According to another information revealed by the thief, they also went to other places to abduct and buy people. However, they abducted people in the surrounding areas of the capital. People everywhere were on guard, so it was not easy to abduct people. But what happened behind the scenes? A noble man wants people more urgently, so he can only make dangerous moves.

If they had not trafficked too many people and the frequency of trafficking was too high, they would not have attracted the attention of the higher authorities as they did now by turning a small case into a big one.

After Gu Mingda interrogated him for a whole day, he probably had a clue in his mind that the children in front of him should not have been sent out of the capital, but should be in a corner of the capital. However, he still couldn't figure out what the person behind the scenes was going to do. What is it and why do we need so many children?

These children are relatively young, and there is no gender restriction. It seems that both boys and girls like them, but there is no news after being abducted.

Gu Mingda returned home and when his family was sitting at the dining table, he was still uneasy.

"Waiter, eat some food." Mrs. Gu suddenly said in a hoarse voice.

Ever since Niuniu came home, Old Mrs. Gu has been acting like she's gone. Her health has improved rapidly. She can now get out of bed and walk around. She doesn't want to eat alone in the house. She still prefers the whole family. The feeling of people sitting together and eating together.

She urged Gu Mingda at this time, and the reason was very simple. After Gu Mingda got to the table, he had been eating white rice without a single glance, not even a bite of food.

Gu Mingda lowered his head and glanced at the dish his mother urged him to eat. It happened to be his favorite dish, and his heart felt warm.

Niuniu said next to her: "Daddy is thinking about the case. He wants to take those children home!"

The whole family became interested when they heard this and asked, "Where is the case now?"

This case is different from Zhang Yuniang's previous case, but there is nothing that can't be said.

Hearing what Gu Mingda said, Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Maybe someone is actually offering sacrifices secretly."

Gu Mingda was actually unsure at this time. After all, there were so many people in the capital without any news, and they could only vaguely point to the same result.

When he thought about the possibility of no one surviving, he was so uncomfortable that he almost couldn't eat.

Zhang Yuniang immediately noticed something was wrong with her husband and immediately comforted her: "Husband, maybe it's not what you think. If you can catch the murderer and bring the murderer to justice, you will be worthy of them." Gu Mingda looked at it again. Seeing the worried look in his daughter's eyes, he took a deep breath, nodded, cheered up, and asked his mother: "Mom, have you ever seen anything like this?"

Mrs. Gu had a look of recollection on her face and said: "I have seen this kind of thing twice. The most recent time, about ten years ago, there was a major case in our Guang'an County, an abandoned and dilapidated building. In the temple, the house collapsed due to thunder, and a child’s body was found on the ground.”

"After being discovered by passers-by, officials came to dig up the temple grounds, and then discovered that seven or eight children's bones were buried inside."

Gu Mingda had never heard of such a shocking case during those years when he was devoted to studying.

"Has the government found out the results?" Gu Mingda asked.

Mrs. Gu shook her head, sneered, and said: "Those people with nothing to lose have no clue after searching for a long time, so they can only settle the case with the cold case."

Gu Mingda asked: "Mom, do you have any other opinions?"

Mrs. Gu lowered her voice and said: "The first time I saw this kind of thing, I was not married yet. There was a Taoist priest who used the purest boys and girls in the world as a guide to practice evil and seek The way to immortality, but he did not get immortality, but was taken over by the government, so I say that the relationship between us in Guang'an County is really worse than one appointment. "

When Gu Mingda heard the word "evil method", he suddenly thought of the last words Wu Wulang said before he died.

He suddenly became frightened. Could it be that Wu Wulang was hinting to them that someone was really practicing evil arts in the case of the missing child?

"These people who practice evil are really hateful. Every child is the treasure of the family, and it has become a shortcut for them to seek power!" Zhang Yunniang said viciously.

At this time, she even couldn't help but worry about her second son. If someone really has been practicing evil magic and this person is in the capital, is it possible that her son has not entered the palace?

Zhang Yuniang's heart clenched when she thought of such a possibility. She wished that her husband could immediately catch the real culprit behind the scenes.

Mrs. Gu suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I saw a very strange child when I was watching the excitement outside every day."

The whole family immediately turned their attention to the old lady.

"The kid was crazy. He kept chanting spells and saying things like 'I don't want to die,' 'Let him go,' and 'Don't use him to practice martial arts.'" Mrs. Gu said.

Although Gu Mingda thought this was a bit of a coincidence, now that all the clues were gone, he felt that he had to try every clue.

"Mom, where is the child? Do you remember?" Gu Mingda asked.

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I saw him on Liulang Street. The kid was about eight or nine years old, unkempt, and very fierce. I'm afraid it's hard to recognize him, but he may not be related to this matter." It doesn’t matter, so let’s forget it.”

"No, we must find him!" Gu Mingda said.

Gu Mingda had a hunch that there might be clues to the real murderer behind this child. This child probably even escaped from that place. He must know something.
