Chapter 17: Looking for a child? (1) (Part 2)

After about two minutes of walking, a police car appeared on the camera.

Lu Yunyao opened her mouth and pointed to Han Yue: “Point the camera at them when you go forward.”

From the police car, in addition to the police officers, three other people got out. One was an old lady wearing yellow silk and cotton cloth with a large peony flower, and the other two were young couples.

The young couple had anxious looks on their faces. The man’s eyes were more restrained, while the woman’s eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to collapse. Fortunately, there were people around her to support her.

The old lady also looked very anxious, but through the lens, many people could see that the old lady was not as anxious as the young couple.

The old lady said to the police: “He disappeared here. He was just here, and then he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

The place the old lady pointed to was a basketball court, and someone was playing basketball at that time.

The tall and thin policeman said: “Did you bring your child here to watch people play basketball?”

The old lady nodded: “Yes, yes, that kid usually likes to watch basketball.”

The police came forward to question the people playing basketball, and the news they got was that two hours ago, this place was dominated by square dancing aunts, and the old lady who lost her grandson was one of the old ladies who occupied the basketball court. At that time, she was dancing here and didn’t even look the child next to her.

A high school student nicknamed “Skinny Monkey” said: “Someone reminded her her grandson had disappeared, but she didn’t care, and said that he must be nearby. After the dance song ended, she looked for the child, but couldn’t find him.”

The old lady’s face immediately became confused, and she yelled: “What are you talking about? It’s my grandson who disappeared. Can I not be anxious? You little brat, you’re a living thing with no one to raise you upright. You’re talking nonsense here. If you obstruct the police’s handling of the case, the police will arrest you! You don’t know me, but you are trying to frame me!”

The high school student nicknamed “Skinny Monkey” blushed and said directly: “Aren’t you the one who led the square dance and prevented me from playing ball? And you bring your annoying grandson to the court every time to harass us. Everyone here remembers you. Uncle Police, I am telling the truth. At the time you mentioned, the square dancing was playing full swing here. Someone discovered that a child called Mumu is gone, but the old lady is not worried.”

Other players on the basketball court also echoed: “As long as you ask people in the community, they will know that square dancing is held here sometimes.”

“This old lady and her grandson are very famous. That Mumu is annoying. He always gets into trouble. He spits at people, imitates the walking of disabled people, and so on.”

Others added in a flurry, letting people in the live broadcast room know that this old lady was usually arrogant, and her grandson was also a “naughty child” rumored on the Internet.

The police officer said to the old lady: “Old lady, we are looking for the child. The child has been missing for a short time and it is the golden period. We must not lie to others!”

The old lady muttered a few words and reluctantly admitted that she was indeed dancing in the square at the time the child disappeared.

The child’s mother couldn’t help it, “Mom, why didn’t you tell the truth when we got to the police?”

The old lady jumped up when she heard her daughter-in-law’s tone: “Why don’t I tell the truth? Isn’t it because you nag at me every day? I’m taking care of your children, but you treat me like an enemy. One moment, you will nag at me for feeding inappropriate food to Mumu. The next moment, you will get angry and nag at me for not obeying the traffic rules when I drag the child with me. Or you will nag at me for doting on him too much. Anyway, I have become your enemy after taking care of your child!”

The young woman gritted her teeth and said with a trembling voice: “Mom, the police comrade is trying to help us find Mumu. This is not the time to talk about these things. At this time, if you still don’t tell the truth, how will you expect the police to find Mumu?”

The old lady’s son also said: “Mom, didn’t I say that when you take Mumu outside with you, you must pay attention to where he goes? Can’t you stop dancing in the square first?”

The old lady covered her chest, “What’s wrong with me dancing? What’s the difference between dancing and watching people play basketball? It’s because Mumu is too lively. It means I raised him well. Even if he runs away, there are cameras everywhere. The police comrades are here too, they will find him. Why are you so cruel?”

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion in Lu Yunyao’s live broadcast room:

[Wow, this old lady is so cruel. Although she helps take care of the child, she can’t have this attitude. Now that the child is lost, she still refuses to tell the truth to the police. What the hell is she doing?]

[The child should be raised by oneself. As the old lady said, there are cameras everywhere. It’s just that the police should work harder and search slowly.]

[This is why I didn’t dare to have a child after I got married. When I have a child, I want to take care of my child. After the child is born, it will become the responsibility of the young couple. Now that the mortgage is so heavy, should the wife resign and focus on taking care of the child? If the old lady doesn’t want to help, tell them you have reached the age to enjoy retirement age.]

Lu Yunyao said to Han Yue: “Turn up the volume on your phone and tell the lead police officer, you know where the child is.”

[???]

A question mark slowly appeared on the screen.

Along with this question mark, a lot of content quickly appeared on the barrage:

[I was thinking just now, if Fairy Yueyue is going to the warehouse, why let her live broadcast on the way, but I didn’t expect that she would directly help the police find the child.]

[Thinking of the warehouse, I had a bad feeling. It couldn’t be because someone dumped the child’s body there!]

[To be honest, I also think it’s corpse dumping. There is so much social news about this. Just now, I thought that the old lady who danced in the square without looking at her grandson was disgusting. Now I want her to see her grandson’s corpse, let’s see if she can’t still be arrogant.]

Duan Xu from the Doudou platform watched these barrages intently. He had not missed the first two live broadcasts. At this time, like the netizens, he felt that he would see the child’s corpse.

When Duan Xu was highly concentrated, he would shake his legs unconsciously. At this time, he took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth without lighting it, and then gently began to shake his legs.

When a large group of leaders from the Doudou platform came to the review department, they saw Duan Xu like this.

*

Today was the time when the leaders of the Doudou platform came to inspect. Managers from the Commerce Department, Live Broadcasting Department, Customer Service Department, and Operations Department followed the CEO and inspected the entire building.

The head of the operation department was called Liu Xu. He said with some embarrassment: “It should be a high-risk anchor, so Xiao Duan is keeping an eye on it. This is how we do reviews, and we can’t block them randomly. Some popular live streams need to be watched manually.”

The director of the operation department was called He Yue. The people in the audit department were so restricted that it was difficult for them to find people for operations outside. At this time, he couldn’t help but say: “It’s not necessarily staring at it. It seems to be addicted to it. And watching the live broadcast in enjoyment.”

The live broadcast department and the review department were very close, especially since the current head of the live broadcast department, Song Yusheng, was Liu Xu’s master. He said: “It shows that our Doudou platform is doing well in making talents. Even our people can’t help but want to watch our company’s talents.”

The CEO of the Doudou platform was a middle-aged woman with short hair, her name was Zhang Su. Zhang Su walked behind Duan Xu, while Duan Xu was still looking at the screen intently and happened to hear Lu Yunyao’s voice.

Han Yue had turned the volume on her mobile phone to the maximum level so that Lu Yunyao could talk to the police.
