Chapter 24 The Forgotten Girl

Qiao turned around, walked out of the grimace shopkeeper's medicine shop, crossed the road, and came to the door of the dentist's shop opposite.

In the past, with Qiao's playboy nature, not to mention haunted, even if there are evil ghosts who kill people in person, his first reaction is probably to turn around and leave.

‘It’s not your own business, just hold it high’, for a long time, these were Qiao’s motto in life.

But after the night of mid-autumn, in just two days, Qiao's personality changed rapidly.

Not only is it not negative, it becomes a bit radical.

The muttering sounds in the dentist's shop quickly aroused Qiao's vigilance. Now that Tulun Port is undercurrent, all inconspicuous clues may point to some huge vortexes.

Inexplicably, Qiao had such intuition, and he had made great improvements in some aspects than he had been willing to be a salted fish before.

He bent his fingers and knocked heavily at the dentist's half-open door, and Joe raised his voice: "Doctor Jack, Doctor Jack, what happened to your home? In the name of the law, is there anything you need to help?"

When Qiao knocked on the door, on Yaolu Street, the guards of the Weitu family spit out cigarette butts from their mouths and pressed down the weapons on their waists.

During extraordinary times, these guards also raised their vigilance. Whether Qiao took the initiative to cause trouble or came to Qiao on his own initiative, they were ready to conflict with others at any time.

The door was opened, and the tall, blond and handsome Doctor Jack poked out half of his body from the door. Seeing Joe standing at the door in uniform, Doctor Jack walked across the street and walked out of the drug shops, and the grimace shopkeeper standing on the sidewalk waved.

As neighbors, Dr. Jack and the Grim Face Storekeeper are naturally acquaintances.

Dr. Jack is naturally more familiar with Joe.

The sailors of the Vitu House Chamber of Commerce fight with people after drinking all year round, and each sailor has dentures. More than 10% of the Vitu House sailors are Dr. Jack's long-term high-quality customers.

"Mary is a little suspicious. Of course, I have also felt that it is a bit strange in the past two days." Doctor Jack grabbed Qiao's sleeve and his eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Mr. Qiao, are you surprised? I actually have girls' clothes at home..."

Qiao blinked desperately: "Doctor Jack, do you have girls' clothes at home? So what?"

Doctor Jack looked at Joe with a sad face: "Mary said, this is my lover's clothes and I took them home. But the great Mu Zai Shang, Master Qiao, you know mine, I have always followed the rules, how could I do such a thing?"

While saying this, Dr. Jack blinked at Joe desperately.

A middle-aged woman with a red face and a round body, and a kind and kind body rushed to the door like the wind. She shouted: "Ah, Mr. Qiao, did I wrong him? The clothes of these girls, look, outer skirts, petticoats, underwear... and these small boots, these socks..."

Slapping her belly hard, the middle-aged woman Mary, Dr. Jack's wife shouted: "Do you think these clothes are mine?"

Mary shook her hand vigorously and snorted coldly: "Either Jack betrayed me, or was haunted, and those hateful guys hid these clothes in our house?"

Qiao felt a chill from the bottom of his feet soaring into the sky spirit cover. He looked at Jack with a grievance and Mary with anger, and subconsciously took a step back.

Discovering that Joe's expression was wrong, several guards of the Vitu family stepped forward two steps and stood behind Joe. They were like veteran old hounds, and their keen eyes kept sweeping around Jack and Mary, and even crossed their bodies and looked into their room.

Joe blinked, he stroked the baton hanging around his waist with his right hand, and asked Dr. Jack loudly: "When did you discover this?"

Doctor Jack and Mary looked at each other a little confusedly.

He patted his head vigorously, and Mary murmured, "On the night of the fifteenth, we were frightened, we ran back, and then, on the sixteenth, we slept all day. Today, we were in a bad mood, and we rested at home for a day, went anywhere, and did nothing."

"It's a curfew. If there is no business to come, I just think about it and clean up the house. Anyway, I'm idle. Business is good at night. We have all developed the habit of not sleeping at night."

"So, I found these girls' clothes in a room."

Mary's tone became very serious, and anger gradually emerged from her face: "It's not one set or two sets, but many sets. Not only skirts, but all kinds of private things for girls, filled a room, and the second floor faced the sea. The big room with the best view was full of girls' things."

Mary shook her head and said, "It's true, I've seen the ghost. Jack, of course he is not such a person, but there are so many clothes in this room..."

Dr. Jack muttered, "Of course I'm not such a person, huh, right, Mr. Qiao?"

Joe took two steps back again, he squinted at Doctor Jack and Mary, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Little Jack?"

Mary pointed upwards: "Poor little Jack, he's still a little dizzy, poor little guy, he's been frightened these two days, he's resting in his room."

Qiao took a deep breath and slowly pulled out his baton: "So, where is Little Mary?"

"Little Mary?" Doctor Jack and Mary were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other. Mary looked at Joe in surprise: "Master Qiao, Little Mary? Who is Little Mary?"

Qiao's heart suddenly sank and his face became extremely serious.

The face of the grimace shopkeeper standing on the sidewalk changed slightly on the same side. He subconsciously put his hands into his loose sleeves, waved his body one by one, and walked with strange steps, and came to Qiao lightly.

"Joe, Doctor Jack and Mary, they only have one child... Little Jack..." The grimacing shopkeeper shook his head hard, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's a little wrong, it seems... he's a little dizzy."

Qiao's eyes widened, and a deep crimson light suddenly lit up in his pupils.

"Uncle? Doctor Jack and Mary's eldest daughter, Little Mary, she often gives you cheese and beef pancakes, have you forgotten?"

"Fifteen years old, blonde, blue-eyed, hair color like Dr. Jack, eyes color, small freckles on his face, just graduated from Yingui Church Girls' School, and one more month, I'm going to go to the law school of Justice like Tifa?"

Qiao's voice was slow and his tone was heavy, and every word was very powerful.

Dr. Jack and Mary's expressions were messy. Mary looked at the beautiful long skirt in her hand and murmured: "Little Mary? Daughter? We have a daughter? Little Mary? Ah, these clothes..."

"Dear..." Mary's eyes trembled slightly, and then she fell to the ground.

Dr. Jack was stunned for a while, and then he said to Joe seriously: "Master Qiao, I think you must have made a mistake. We have no daughter, Mary and I have only one son, that is little Jack...daughter, I..."

Dr. Jack's facial muscles were spasming. He stared blankly at Mary who was lying on the ground. His body was trembling slightly, and cold sweat kept oozing out from under his hair, which soon made his hair wet.

Because of Joe's presence, Dr. Jack's neighbors, Dr. Jerry, who is also a dentist, and Dr. Bourne, who specializes in treating fractures, also walked out of his own doctor's shop and leaned over to Joe.

"Mr. Qiao, let's testify that Dr. Jack really doesn't have a daughter named Little Mary."

Dr. Jerry smiled brightly: "It's not just Dr. Jack, but our entire Yaolu Street, hundreds of pharmacies and clinics are all sons, and none of them are daughters."

Dr. Bourne also laughed: "Yes, yes, this is really strange. Could it be that because we have dealt with various drugs all year round, what changes have happened in our bodies? What a pity, I always want a well-behaved and obedient daughter, and maybe she can still marry Mr. Qiao!"

Qiao's heart was chilling a little bit.

Qiao is not familiar with other doctors or pharmacy shop owners on Yaolu Street.

But Jack, Jerry and Bourne, they were opposite the Ghost Face Storekeeper's Pharmacy Store. For several years, Joe often came to find Ghost Face Storekeeper and was still familiar with the family situation of the three of them.

It just so happened that if Qiao hadn't remembered it wrongly, each of the three doctors had a daughter and a son. Moreover, the daughters of the three families were all sisters, and they were even about the same age.

Both dentists and orthopedics have a prosperous business and a rich income in Tulun Port, so the daughters of these three families are studying at the girls' school in Yingui Church.

Even Qiao's sister Weima, who also studied at Yingui Church Girls' School, also met the daughters of these three families because of Qiao. They are even friends with good relationships!

"Then, you're finished!" Joe laughed, pointing at Doctor Jack and laughed, "Doctor Jack, you've brought your lover's clothes home, you're finished!"

Joe pointed to Jerry and Bourne and smiled, "Go home and look for it quickly. Maybe, you have girls' clothes at home? You can't tell it clearly!"

Shaking his head, Qiao Xiao asked, "You guys don't know either. I slept all day on the 16th, and I was exhausted today. I didn't do anything when I rested at home, right?"

Without Jerry and Bourne's answer, just looking at their expressions, Joe knew what was going on.

"You're finished!" Qiao Xiu smiled and pointed to the three doctors with a stiff face, turned around and walked towards the drug shop of the Grief Shopkeeper.

The grimace shopkeeper had a gloomy face, his steps were like flowing water, and he followed Qiao into his own medicine shop. Then he quickly rummaged through the boxes and found more than twenty kinds of strange medicinal materials, and quickly boiled it into a pair of medicine on the small charcoal stove.

The light blue potion that emits a strange color was swallowed by the grimace shopkeeper.

After a few minutes, a cold and sticky sweat oozed out of the shopkeeper's body. He let out a heavy breath, coughed violently, and then two extremely thin blood lines dripped from his nostrils.

"Joe, I remember, Little Mary, Lillia, Little Julie..."

The grimace shopkeeper raised his head, and his already ugly face was even more vicious at this moment: "I accidentally fell into trouble. An extremely straitorous ecstasy potion, and an extraordinary secret technique."
