Although Yue Chen and the others were closer, there was still a lot of traffic near Wanda on Friday night. As soon as Yue Chen and others found the parking lot, Bai Mengge's group called.
"Sister Yingying, we have arrived at the bus company and found that Huo Ruiyan got on the bus at the bus stop in front of the school at 17:34 and got off at the previous stop at Wanda Plaza at 17:58," Bai Mengge said.
"Why did you get off the bus one stop early?" Liu Yingying asked.
"Her father can't tell clearly." Bai Mengge.
"You got off the bus one stop earlier?" Huo's mother heard and answered.
"Yes, why, do you know the reason?" Liu Yingying's attention was attracted by Huo's mother. Bai Mengge also stopped when he heard the movement here.
"Actually, the previous stop is closer to our home. It's less than a kilometer walk home. But her father asked her to go to Wanda Plaza and then walk back." Huo's mother said in a low voice.
"Just to prove that the geographical location of your home is good?" Yue Chen couldn't help but muttered.
Mother Huo looked at Yue Chen and said nothing, acquiescing.
"Xiao Bai, you now go to the traffic police brigade to collect surveillance along the road and determine the route the child will take after getting off the car as soon as possible." Liu Yingying really looks like a senior sister.
"Take us to your home." After hanging up the phone, Liu Yingying said helplessly.
The group of four walked for nearly twenty minutes before arriving at Huo Ruiyan's home.
This is a relatively old community. Although it is in the urban area, it is different from those old houses. This community should be the earliest planned residence in this area. It has only six floors and is one of the few stair houses in the neighborhood. It is surrounded by high-rise buildings.
Surrounded by buildings, not even the shadow of Wanda Plaza can be seen.
It can be said that apart from its superior geographical location, this community really has no advantages.
"How many routes are there from here to the station where your daughter gets off?" Liu Yingying asked.
"There are two main roads, one is to take the main road, go straight along Wannan Road to the entrance of the community and turn into Dabei Road; the other is closer and comes from the previous alleys," Huo's mother pointed out.
He pointed to the entrance of an alley across the road.
"Take us there." Liu Yingying lowered her head and looked at the map on her phone.
A group of people, led by Huo's mother, entered the alley.
"Why do I feel like I've been here before?" Yue Chen looked around.
"Have you been here?" Liu Yingying asked.
"Probably not. You won't visit a place like this when you come near Wanda." Yue Chen looked around and shook his head.
"The alley culture of Jinhai City is indeed a cultural treasure of Jinhai City. They are document buildings that have been preserved for decades or hundreds of years. Maybe Teacher Yue has seen them a lot since she was a child, so there are some similarities." The head teacher, Mr. Lu Kehan, is a Chinese language major.
Teacher, I am very familiar with these cultures.
As Mother Huo led the way, Yue Chen felt more and more familiar. Finally, after passing another fork in the road, Yue Chen finally remembered.
This was last year, when Qian Qian took her to the same alley where her teahouse had been. Although she hadn't seen the teahouse yet, Yue Chen was sure that the teahouse was nearby, and she seemed to have faintly smelled the fragrance of tea.
"This is the nearest route." After walking out of the alley, Huo's mother pointed to the station not far away.
"There are many small roads in this alley, and many routes should be similar." Lu Kehan recalled the route just now.
Liu Yingying's phone rang again. Liu Yingying answered the call and heard Bai Mengge's voice: "Sister Yingying, we have confirmed through surveillance along the way that Huo Ruiyan walked into an alley called Zhou Hang Lane.
, and I haven’t seen her come out of the alley until now.”
"How many holes did Zhou Hang make?"
"There should be three, one at Wannan Road station, one at Dabei Road, and a small gate at the far west that can only be passed by pedestrians. However, there is no surveillance near the west gate." Bai Mengge replied.
"In this case, you go to China Unicom's mainland outside the west gate to search for surveillance, and we'll go to the shops on the west gate to see if we can get anything." Liu Yingying immediately made a decision.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yingying took Huo's mother, and Yue Chen took Lu Kehan and walked out of the west gate, looking for clues in two directions.
The reason for grouping like this is because Liu Yingying still believes more in Yue Chen's ability to handle cases. At the same time, Huo's mother and Lu Kehan are two people who are more familiar with Huo Ruiyan.
Outside the west gate of Zhouhang Lane is an unknown alley, and opposite Xiaolu is the jurisdiction of another alley. This alley is in a state of neglect.
It is precisely because of this, and because this place is in a prosperous state, that a night market street has sprung up, with a rare fireworks atmosphere in the city. At this time, around ten o'clock, it is Friday, and the entire night market street is very lively.
lively.
"Does Lu Kehan like to eat these?" Yue Chen pointed at these stir-fried, grilled skewers and crayfish.
"I'm not sure about this. Huo Ruiyan still maintains a good figure, but she often eats snacks during class." Lu Kehan was not sure either.
"What will she eat during recess? Cake? Puffed food?" Yue Chen asked.
"How can I make such specific observations? I guess the little girl must like to eat cakes and the like." Lu Kehan guessed.
"Okay, let's give it a try." Yue Chen said and walked towards the fried yogurt and fruit stall.
"Boss, is your fruit fresh?" Yue Chen opened the price list and asked again and again.
"Don't worry, they are all fresh fruits today." The boss replied enthusiastically.
"Bring me some fried yogurt with strawberries, what do you want to eat?" Yue Chen turned around and asked Lu Kehan.
"Let me take a look." Lu Kehan was just instructed by Yue Chen to delay for a while.
"Boss, your stall is very different from the barbecue crayfish in the surrounding area." Yue Chen started chatting about home affairs.
"Don't you know this? Just because my family has the only one here, these girls who come for late night snacks usually come to me to buy one." The boss said proudly.
"Well, then I'll have a piece of An Muxi's fruit, just a medium portion." Lu Kehan said.
"You see, beauties still have good taste. This Anmuxi is my most popular product. Please wait a moment." The boss smiled with a smile on his face.
"Boss, it seems like you are familiar with the girls who come here often." Yue Chen joked.
"You're right, I can get an impression of any girl who has been here two or three times." The boss smiled sarcastically.
"Boss, have you seen this girl?" Yue Chen took out Huo Ruiyan's photo.
"Who are you two?" The boss glanced at the photo and looked at the two of them with some caution.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, we are her teachers. Her parents said she didn't come home after school today. So I came to the neighborhood to ask around." Yue Chen and Lu Kehan revealed their identities.
"Are you teachers from No. 3 Middle School?" the boss asked.
"What No. 3 Middle School? We are teachers from the Foreign Language School?" Lu Kehan replied subconsciously.
"That's right. I know that the little girl is from a foreign language school. I just tried to deceive you because I was afraid that you were bad people." The boss smiled slyly.
