Chapter 309 Chasing 1
It was already afternoon, and Feng Qingqing was worried about the difficulty of walking after dark, so she moved very fast, especially after leaving Nanjiang County.
Walking on the road to Fufeng Commune, he ran as fast as he could.
Although she didn't know the hunter couple's route, she observed that there was only one road from Nanjiang County to Fufeng Commune.
It should be noted that in those days, apart from the two daily bus services from Nanjiang County to Fufeng Commune, there were very few vehicles on the road.
Therefore, even if the couple were carrying two trafficked children, the probability of them being discovered was not high if they were careful.
She figured that if the couple wanted to take their two children home as soon as possible, this road would be the fastest route.
In other places, the only road from Nanjiang County to Fufeng Commune is the continuous mountain range.
If the couple were carrying their two children over mountains and valleys, it would not only be extremely difficult for them to walk, but it would also take them a lot of time.
Moreover, the mountains and forests are extremely dangerous, so it's unlikely that the couple with two children would make that choice.
Therefore, after leaving Nanjiang County, Feng Qingqing sped along at breakneck speed.
I hope to shorten the distance between myself and that couple as soon as possible.
She guessed that since the two people were carrying a child, they probably weren't moving very fast.
After running at high speed for about half an hour, even with Feng Qingqing's physique, she was starting to feel slightly heavy-hearted.
She slowed her pace slightly, but as soon as she turned a corner, her eyes lit up.
They spotted a figure ahead carrying a shoulder pole with two baskets hanging from it, walking forward.
Feng Qingqing had good eyesight and guessed from the figure that it was an older woman.
A joy in my heart.
He quickly walked forward, calling out as he went:
"Auntie, Auntie."
Those walking ahead, hearing someone shouting, immediately stopped and looked back.
It should be noted that this is the only road from Nanjiang County to Fufeng Commune. Although it is not exactly a desolate wilderness, this woman carrying an empty basket on her shoulder must have taken quite a while and she rarely encountered anyone.
She was a little curious when someone suddenly greeted her.
After she stopped, she saw a young woman walking quickly from behind her.
The girl must have run very fast; she was breathing heavily, and her cheeks were flushed.
However, judging from the girl's rosy lips and white teeth, she must be a city dweller from a wealthy family with a good quality of life.
When Feng Qingqing saw the old woman stop, she quickly took two steps and soon arrived in front of her.
She noticed that the woman looked to be in her forties.
Her round face makes her look very approachable.
He quickly stepped forward to greet them:
"Excuse me, ma'am, is this the direction to Fufeng Commune?"
Although the old woman seemed to have no ill intentions towards the girl, she was, after all, old and worldly-wise. She knew that in this desolate place, if a young girl suddenly struck up a conversation with her, she would instinctively feel a sense of wariness.
Therefore, when the girl came in front of him, he cautiously looked her up and down. When the girl asked him a question, he simply nodded slightly and did not take the initiative to speak.
Seeing this, Feng Qingqing understood the old woman's thoughts and quickly introduced herself to her:
"Hello, ma'am. My name is Feng Qingqing. My husband's name is He Yong'an. He is a criminal police officer in the Nanjiang County Public Security Bureau, and I am an internal medicine doctor in the Nanjiang County People's Hospital."
After saying that, she even took out her work ID from the county hospital from her pocket, or rather, from her storage space, to show the old woman.
The old woman's face finally broke into a smile when she saw the young woman take out her work ID card, which was stamped with a big red seal.
He quickly lowered his guard and greeted her warmly.
"Hey, hello, girl."
These days, whether you're a doctor or a police officer, it's considered a very prestigious position.
Especially this girl, who turns out to be a capable doctor herself.
She knew that even in the county town, whether it was a hospital or a public security bureau, these were not places that just anyone could get into.
Her daughter married and moved to the county town, so she knew a thing or two about these situations.
When Feng Qingqing saw that the old woman immediately changed her attitude and became much more enthusiastic after hearing her and He Yong'an's identities, she understood.
If the old woman hadn't been so wary of her beforehand, and if she hadn't been worried about wasting time, she would have had no choice but to tell the old woman their positions.
Hopefully, the old lady can cooperate with her as soon as possible.
Seeing the old woman's attitude change, he quickly asked:
"Auntie, the police are currently investigating a case."
I'd like to know, on your way from Nanjiang County to here, did you see any suspicious people?
Or could you just tell me directly, who have you met along the way, or what suspicious things have happened?
When the old woman heard Feng Qingqing ask such a question, especially mentioning the police station, she quickly composed herself and frowned.
She recalled her journey from Nanjiang County to this place.
It was actually a coincidence that Feng Qingqing was able to meet this old lady at this time.
Originally, the old woman's daughter gave her money and tickets so she could take a bus back to Fufeng Commune.
But this old lady was always frugal, and since she felt there was still plenty of time, she thought it would be better to use the money for the bus fare to buy some candy at the supply and marketing cooperative to sweeten her little grandson's mouth.
They then abandoned the bus and walked all the way back to Fufeng Commune.
The old woman pondered and recalled, and at the same time spoke:
"After leaving Nanjiang County, I met an old man driving an oxcart."
I also encountered a couple riding a bicycle with two children.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingqing quickly interjected and asked:
How old are those two children?
Seeing the girl's reaction, the old woman quickly replied:
"The older one sat on the front bar, about eight or nine years old, while the younger one sat in the back and looked three or four years old."
Hearing her say that, Feng Qingqing was slightly disappointed, and then urged:
"Auntie, is there any more?"
Then the old woman continued to reminisce.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"I also met a couple with a child who were walking like me, but they were walking very fast and I couldn't catch up with them at all."
At this point, the old woman still had some complaints.
After all, she was walking alone on the street. Although she wasn't afraid, she was a little lonely, especially since she was someone who liked to joke around.
Therefore, when I encountered that couple on the road earlier, I was thinking that we would be walking towards Fufeng Commune together, and having each other for company would allow us to chat for a while.
This is also a better way to pass the time.
Unexpectedly, despite her repeated attempts to speak to the couple, they ignored her. Eventually, the couple even started running, and the old woman couldn't catch up with them.
