Chapter 398 Old Friend

Translator: Lonelytree

Back at Taoyuan Village, the Xiao Family waited for 20 minutes, and the police arrived. The team was still led by the familiar face.

“Officer Li, it’s you!” Mother Xiao was happy when she saw Officer Li. “Come in quickly, have some water.”

As she spoke, Mother Xiao turned around to grab some water. But Xiao Lingyun and Eldest Auntie Xiao had already prepared the cups. Three officers came.

They sat in the courtyard, which was cooler.

Father Xiao said, “Officer Li, we’ll have to trouble you again this time.”

“Serving the people is our duty,” Officer Li said with a smile. “Brother Xiao, you’re too polite.”

Officer Li skipped the water and asked directly, “I heard from the police that your cattle are lost, right?”

Father Xiao nodded and said, “That’s right. A calf and his mother are missing. They have been missing for more than ten hours already.”

When Officer Li heard that he asked with a puzzled expression, “Did that mean they disappeared during the day?” This was somewhat illogical. If someone wanted to steal

cows, wouldn’t it be easier to do so in the dead of night? Why would they come to steal cows in broad daylight? Weren’t they afraid of being caught?

It was really unbelievable.

Father Xiao nodded and said, “That’s right. Our cattle disappeared in broad daylight. However, when we learned that fact, it had been more than ten hours after that.

“All the villagers mobilized to help search for them, but we couldn’t find anything. We suspect they have been stolen, so we chose to call the police. Sorry, officers. This

must be a huge trouble for you.”

Officer Li smiled. “Brother Li, like I said, this is our duty.” Then, he asked seriously, “Do you have any clues as to where they are?”

Father Xiao shook his head and said, “We don’t have any clues. The only thing we know is that two of our cows may have been stolen.”

Officer Li suddenly thought of something and asked, “I remember that your village has a lot of surveillance cameras. Have you looked through them?”

Father Xiao nodded. “My daughter looked through them already. There were no suspicious people recorded on camera.”

The three officers looked at each other in shock.

Officer Li frowned slightly and said with confusion, “This is very strange. If they are really stolen in the day, then the thieves are very bold. Also, how did they avoid the

surveillance cameras in your village? Could it be that after they stole the cattle, they didn’t pass through Taoyuan Village?”

Hearing this, Father Xiao and the others narrowed their eyes. Then, they thought of something.

“I remember now. The place where the children usually keep the cattle is close to Back Mountain Village.” Mother Xiao said, “Is it possible that the thieves moved through

that path instead?”

“But isn’t that road closed?” Liu Chunhua said. “The blockage is two meters high, and they are stuffed with thorns. A dog will have a hard time passing through it, much less

two cows. How did the thieves move the cows through it?

“Plus, Little Light and Big Light are very smart. They are very wary of strangers. It’s impossible for them to leave with strangers.”

At this moment, Xiao Lingyun added, “Little Light will definitely resist. Little Light might be young but he has an earth-shattering cry. It would have alarmed us. But we

didn’t hear anything.”

Officer Li and the other two were speechless. Was this really a cow or a person. Would a normal cow be so smart and sensible?

A young officer beside Officer Li couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Are they talking about a cow or a child?”

The Xiao family members were slightly stunned, then they all smiled.

Mother Xiao explained, “Officer, Little Light is indeed our family’s calf. This calf is more intelligent than the average cow. I think he has the IQ of a three-or four-year-old

child.”

Officer Li was slightly surprised. “Is there actually such a smart cow? This is the first time we’ve heard of it.”

“That’s right. Little Light and his mother are very smart and hygienic. We treat them like family.” Grandma Xiao said, “You can understand how worried we are that they are

missing. Officers, please help us find them.”

“Elder, please don’t worry.” Officer Li comforted her. “We’ll definitely do our best.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you very much.” Grandma Xiao said.

At this time, Officer Li frowned and said, “We need to go to the crime scene. We can often find clues there. We need to go to the place where the cows went missing.”

The Xiao family, “…”

Father Xiao said, “Officers, it’s dark. The place is in the mountains. It won’t be easy to find anything there in the dark.”

Officer Li frowned. “But if we go tomorrow, the clues might be lost already.”

When the Xiao family heard this, they immediately became conflicted.

“Officer Li, there’s no need to go. We have brought the clues back.”.
