Chapter 191 Qiao Mei
The anxiety and worry in the old lady's eyes made Xia Mufan feel a little soft-hearted.

Her granddaughter has been missing for five years and there is still no trace of her. She must be very sad. Now she is pinning her hopes on herself, so she should try her best.

Xia Mushige lowered his head and gave an order to Xue Gao: "Sit!"

Xue Gao immediately squatted down obediently, but still stared vigilantly at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xia Mufan took the stack of information and picked out a few to quickly browse through.

The missing person is named Tao Nianqiao, from Taojiaping, Jiyang Town, Yuntong County, Xing City. She disappeared in July 1992 when she was only 15 years old and had just finished her high school entrance examination. The person who called the police is the old lady in front of you, Tao Nianqiao's grandmother, named Chi Juxiang.

Tao Nianqiao in the missing person notice has short hair, a pair of clear and bright almond eyes on her thin face, and two thick eyebrows that make her look somewhat different from the determination of a girl of the same age.

Seeing that the girl was from Xing City, Xia Mufan put away the information and said to Chi Juxiang gently: "Old man, come with us."

Xia Mufan brought Chi Juxiang to the reception room and called Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing, two bachelors, to come over. Today was the weekend, and Feng Xiaoyu and Gong Weiguo rarely had time to reunite with their loved ones, so they would not disturb them for the time being.

Chi Juxiang sat on the sofa in the reception room and took the hot tea handed over by Xia Mufan. She was a little flattered: "Officer Xia, you will help me, right?"

Xia Mufan did not agree immediately and asked, "Old man, when your granddaughter went missing, which police station reported the incident?"

Chi Juxiang pointed at the pile of information and said, "I reported the case to the police station in our town. Here is the report record at that time. I copied a copy and kept it. And here is the missing person notice I made. Here are the calls I received and the places I visited in the past few years after I posted the missing person notice..."

After making more than a dozen copies of the missing person notice, Xia Mufan asked Chi Juxiang, "Why did you make so many copies?"

Chi Juxiang had tears in her eyes: "I came here to look for you. I posted all the way here. There are still these left. I will post more later. I hope Qiaomei can see it, or... a kind-hearted person who knows Qiaomei's whereabouts can see it."

The old woman in front of me was wearing a blue cotton jacket and a pair of cotton shoes with mud on the edges. Her face was chapped by the cold wind and her outstretched hands were black and rough. It was obvious that she was an old woman who did farm work. It was also obvious that she had walked a lot and suffered a lot.

Xia Mufan couldn't bear to see the elderly and children suffer. Thinking of her coming all the way from the countryside to Xing City alone, posting missing person notices along the way, and pulling everyone she saw to ask: "Have you seen my Qiaomei?" Xia Mufan couldn't help but feel a tightness in her throat, and lowered her head to look at the police record carefully.

At this moment, Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing walked in.

Sun Xianbing asked: "Captain Xia, we are working overtime on the weekend. Is there a case coming up?" As soon as he and Yu Jingyi received a call from Xia Mufan, they realized something had happened and rushed over immediately.

Xia Mufan raised his head and said, "You're just in time. Please contact the archives department. I need to find a file on the missing girl's case. The missing person's name is Tao Nianqiao, and the police were notified in July 1992."
