HLnovel Chapter 116 Dead Baby
Chapter 116 Dead Baby
Wang Peng was holding a black bag in his arms. No matter how hard he tried to cover it up, one could still tell there was something different at a glance.
Compared to ordinary people, his expression was really too nervous.
Fortunately, at four o'clock in the morning, there was no one in Qiufeng Park, even the cleaners who were sweeping the floor had not gotten up yet.
Walking through the cobblestone road with lush greenery, he looked up at the camera mounted on a big tree.
It was gray and wouldn't move.
The people at the park haven't had time to replace it yet. I heard that all the cameras nearby are broken, and replacing them with new ones requires a lot of money, which cannot be approved in a short time.
Thinking of this, he relaxed a little.
While it was still dark, he hurried home.
But as he walked, he was suddenly attracted by a ball of light.
The light source was an old-fashioned flashlight. Wang Peng vaguely remembered that his family bought him this kind of flashlight when he was in junior high school.
It is very old and has been eliminated by society for a long time. I didn’t expect that some people still use it now.
He squatted behind a landscape tree and looked towards the source of the light.
What came into view was a man in tattered clothes, rummaging through a trash can.
When he saw this, Wang Peng thought it was a beggar who got up early to pick up trash.
He didn't pay much attention, just took a look and prepared to leave.
But what the man found in the trash can next scared him so much that he almost screamed.
With the help of the light from the old-fashioned flashlight, the angle at which he was crouching could be seen clearly.
What the man proposed.
It's clearly a dead baby!
"What nonsense!"
A sharp female voice interrupted his story. Wang Peng was frightened and shuddered all over. He looked up and saw that the woman sitting at the top had a sullen face and was very emotional.
The aura emanating from her frightened him so much that he dared not move and knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.
"I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you..."
Xiao Qingdai's hands were cold, and if you looked closely, you could see they were trembling slightly.
The people below begged desperately for mercy and kept adding details to prove that what they said was true.
"Although it was dark, I can guarantee I saw it clearly. The baby's face was bruised, and there were deep dark red pinch marks on its neck. When it was taken out of the trash can, its head was drooping in a strange position. It looked clearly lifeless!"
After he said this, Xiao Qingdai's face became even more frightening.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her pale lips were stained red, and the smell of blood lingered in her mouth.
Wang Peng was so scared that he lowered his head and therefore did not notice her expression.
He kept talking.
"I saw the man holding the child. He said something and then put something in the child's mouth... I also saw him take off his clothes, wrap the dead baby, put it on the bench, and then he found a necklace in the trash can and put it next to the dead baby."
When he said this, he paused and squeezed out a word through his trembling teeth.
"As for why I know so clearly that she was a stillborn baby, it's because after that man left, I went to see her..."
Although the scene was weird and made people's scalps tingle, Wang Peng's eyes were dazzled by the necklace.
Adhering to the principle of not missing out, he sneaked over to take a look after the man left.
It was indeed a dead baby. The color was abnormal and the neck was tilted to one side. Anyone could see it.
His heart was in his throat, and he mustered up the courage to take the necklace from the baby's cradle.
But at this moment, a bright light shone on his face.
Wang Peng turned his head stiffly, and was directly illuminated by the light. He could not see the man's appearance, but only heard a bone-chilling voice.
"You're taking things from a dead person, aren't you afraid she'll pester you?"
Wang Peng was already feeling guilty, and after hearing this, he ran away crawling.
After returning home, he packed up and prepared to leave, but the family whose belongings were stolen called the police. The police found his home by comparing several fingerprints.
He was caught red-handed and taken to the police station.
And so, he never came out again in the past three years.
This incident gradually faded from his mind, but because it left such a deep impression on him at the time, he could still recall many details whenever he thought about it, as if he had experienced it just yesterday.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Qingdai could no longer bear it. Her throat tightened and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.
The bright red faded against her dark clothing and was barely noticeable.
"Master!" Shuangjiang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly supported her shaky body.
Xiaoxue hurried out to find a doctor.
Xiao Qingdai's bony hand rested on Shuangjiang's wrist, and the life on her face had faded significantly.
Shuangjiang put the medicine into her mouth, and her hand trembled when it touched her bloody lips. After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, there were times when she couldn't hold things steadily.
As soon as the medicine was put into her mouth, it flowed out along with the blood.
Xiao Qingdai held her, her chest rising and falling gently with every breath.
She opened her mouth and wanted to speak.
Frost was close, and when he put his ear close, he could hear her intermittent voice.
"I, I want Qingqing, I want to see her, let me see her..."
Shuangjiang, with red eyes, ordered another person in the basement to find Qingqing, while she bent down, picked up Xiao Qingdai, and walked upstairs.
Everyone left and the heavy, soundproof iron door slammed shut.
Wang Peng stood up from the ground tremblingly, his eyes swept over the surrounding environment, his teeth chattering with fear.
There are cameras on all sides, so even though there is no one around, he doesn't dare move.
On the handle of a dagger on the wall, he saw a word.
Xiao.
I heard a counterfeit seller in prison bragging about the situation in the capital, saying that the Xiao family is a very powerful family.
In addition to gossiping about how powerful the Xiao family was, he also mentioned one thing: the Xiao family's daughter was lost as soon as she was born.
If this is the Xiao family, then the person he just saw is...
and many more!
Wang Peng's pupils constricted, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
The dead baby he just mentioned couldn't be—
