On the way to Sunshine Home, Li Dawei said curiously in the car,
"Master, shouldn't it theoretically take 24 hours to file a case? How come we've already gone there after only a few hours?"
Chen Xincheng, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Li Dawei in the back and said impatiently,
"You said it yourself, that's just in theory. If something really happens, it'll be too late for anything after 24 hours."
Moreover, the cooling-off period that Mingcheng proposed finally managed to calm these villagers down.
If this incident causes dissatisfaction among the villagers, it would be a net loss.
Upon hearing this, Li Dawei understood.
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Wu Mingcheng's mind as he sat in the driver's seat.
"Ding! The host has triggered a system mission and successfully located the missing little girl, ensuring her safety."
The task rewards include: Expert-level observation skills (helping the host maximize their observation abilities, making their perception of sound, smell, and temperature more detailed), and basic-level memory skills (helping you memorize quickly, improve your knowledge base, and strengthen your memory function).
"Does the host accept the mission?"
These two skills are like wings to a tiger for Wu Mingcheng.
He certainly couldn't refuse.
"accept,"
Similarly, through the task provided by the system this time, Wu Mingcheng realized that the little girl's situation might not be very optimistic.
When they arrived at Sunshine Garden, they saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the complex.
After Wu Mingcheng and his group got off the bus, the residents of Sunshine Garden pointed at Wu Mingcheng and said...
"Hey, isn't that the armed police officer from the other day?"
"Quick, the police are here!"
"That's good, the child should be found now,"
............................................................
At that moment, a young couple ran towards them, the wife crying as she spoke.
"Officer Tongzhi, my daughter is missing. Please help me look for her."
Wu Mingcheng stepped forward to comfort him,
"Ma'am, please calm down and tell us what happened."
The husband then stepped forward and embraced his heartbroken wife and children. Ultimately, men are generally more resilient.
He said to Wu Mingcheng and the others
"Officer Tongzhi, it's like this, the child has always lived with his grandmother."
After we moved to Sunshine Garden, my child plays with other children in the community.
We all thought she was playing in the neighborhood, but when we came to pick her up, she was gone.
The children in the neighborhood who usually play with her have never seen her before.
After listening to her husband's explanation, Li Dawei then said,
"Sir, have you searched the neighborhood? Maybe the child is being naughty and has hidden himself/herself."
Chapter 284 Community Surveillance System Repair
The husband then spoke as well.
"We thought of that too. We searched everywhere in the neighborhood with the elderly folks, but we still couldn't find it."
Wu Mingcheng noticed that there were still many people helping with the search at the scene, a large portion of whom were from Lijiazhuang.
This indicates that the relationship between the villagers of the two villages in Sunshine Garden has been greatly improved.
At this moment, he asked,
"Sir, Madam, I completely understand how you both feel right now."
But it is precisely at this time that you must not rush, you must keep your emotions under control and not panic.
The worst thing you can do at this point is to panic and become completely lost, not knowing what the final outcome will be.
Clearly, this couple had received a certain level of higher education and were able to listen to Wu Mingcheng's advice.
At this moment, Wu Mingcheng turned to look at Li Dawei and said,
"Dawei, go and contact the property management staff of the community now to see if you can find the surveillance footage in the community,"
Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Li Dawei immediately ran to contact the community property management.
Wu Mingcheng then addressed the couple again,
"The first thing we need to confirm is whether the child has actually left the residential compound. If not, then everyone is happy."
If she left the residential area, then we'll have to see whether she sneaked out on her own or was abducted.
Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's last words, his wife's legs nearly gave way, and she collapsed into her husband's arms.
She said, crying.
“I told you it's not safe for the child to play alone in the neighborhood, but your mother insisted that this was always the case in the village.”
"Now look what's happened! The child's nowhere to be found! If we can't find the child, I'm not finished with you!"
The husband sighed and said,
"What's the point of saying all this now that it's already happened? Let's find the child first."
At this moment, Li Dawei ran over with a property management staff member.
He spoke softly to Wu Mingcheng.
"Mingcheng, I have bad news,"
Wu Mingcheng turned his head, looked at him curiously, and said,
"Dawei, what's wrong?"
A property management staff member then spoke up,
"I'm so sorry, our community's surveillance equipment has been under maintenance for the past two days, so there's no footage from this afternoon,"
Upon hearing what the property management staff said, the wife, who was already emotionally unstable, became even more distraught.
She pointed at the property management staff and said,
"This is a dereliction of duty on your part as property management. How could there be no surveillance footage in the community?"
"You're definitely in cahoots with those human traffickers; you kidnapped my child,"
After saying this, the wife was about to pounce on the property management staff member, but Li Dawei and the others quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Wu Mingcheng said,
"Madam, please don't panic, calm down,"
The property management staff, realizing the seriousness of the situation, quickly apologized to the couple repeatedly.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really embarrassed,"
The wife then cried out loudly,
"My child, where have you gone?"
The husband quickly comforted his wife, while placing his hopes on Wu Mingcheng, Li Dawei, and the others.
Of the three, Wu Mingcheng had the most ideas and the best mind.
Chen Xincheng then stepped forward and asked Wu Mingcheng,
"Mingcheng, what are we going to do now that there are no security cameras recording this?"
Li Dawei, Chen Xincheng, and the crowd all turned their attention to Wu Mingcheng.
Wu Mingcheng remained calm and collected, recalling his journey to Sunshine Home.
At that moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly spoke up.
"I know what to do. Follow me."
He strode towards the entrance of the residential compound. Li Dawei and Chen Xincheng exchanged a glance and followed him curiously.
Seeing this, the couple and the many onlookers quickly followed.
Immediately afterwards, they arrived at the entrance of the Sunshine Garden residential complex.
Wu Mingcheng pointed to a convenience store at the entrance and said,
“Look, the security cameras in this convenience store,”
It turns out that the security camera at the entrance of this convenience store was pointing directly at the main gate of the residential complex.
Li Dawei was quick-witted and immediately saw through it, saying aloud,
"The security camera at this convenience store is right facing the main entrance,"
Hearing Li Dawei's words, everyone's hope was immediately rekindled.
