"It shouldn't be!"

Mother Zhai's brows were almost twisted into knots: "Yaxin left our house before four o'clock. Even if the car was slow, she should have..."

The words in her mouth suddenly stopped, and Zhai's mother's eyes were full of worry: "Did something happen to Yaxin on the way home?"

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Zhai's mother felt.

"What happened to you two?"

Father Zhai pushed open the door and walked in from outside. Seeing his wife and daughter frowning, he couldn't help but ask.

"Qiuqiu and I were talking about Yaxin!"

Taking the briefcase from Zhai's father, Zhai's mother put it in a safe place, and then turned her gaze back to Zhai's father: "Yaxin came to the county town today, and we happened to meet Qiuqiu, so we invited her to our house for a while. As a result, the child rode away from our house before four o'clock, and now she hasn't even arrived at her own home..."

Mother Zhai told her daughter Zhai Qiu everything she had heard. After hearing what she said, Father Zhai couldn't help but frown: "It's dark now, and it's past six o'clock. Judging from this situation, the child must have met with an accident on the road."

"Dad, what should we do?"

Zhai Qiu's eyes were full of self-blame. She said, "It's all my fault for inviting Sister Yaxin to our house. She and her classmates were going home after shopping in the department store, but I stopped her to chat and invited her to play at our house for a while before going back... Dad, if Sister Yaxin really had an accident, I would definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life and I wouldn't be able to continue to associate with Sister Song Lan!"

"Don't worry, let's call Comrade Song's home to see if he has returned. If...if he is still missing, I will contact the county public security bureau and ask Captain Li of the Criminal Police Brigade to send police officers to help Comrade Song look for him."

The Captain Li of the Criminal Police Brigade mentioned by Zhai's father is actually the father of a child named Li Jinhao, one of the three children Song Lan rescued from the kidnapper.

Captain Li’s full name is Li Xueqin.

"I'm afraid Xiao Li has already finished get off work. Why don't you give his home a call now?"

Zhai's mother suggested.

After the previous abduction incident, not only did the Zhai and Zhao families become closer, but even the families of the three children would visit each other during the holidays.

Of course, the five families also have dealings with Song Lan.

After all, Song Lan rescued Zhai Qiu, Zhao Tiantian, and three other children including Li Jinhao from the kidnappers, which is equivalent to saving five families. This kindness is greater than heaven, and all five families remember it in their hearts!

"it is good."

Father Zhai nodded, then took out the phone book from the drawer under the coffee table.

Zhai's mother and Zhai Qiu watched as Zhai's father found the phone number and dialed it. When they heard the call was successfully transferred, the mother and daughter concentrated and calmed down, fearing that they would make any noise and disturb Zhai's father's call.

I have to say here that Zhai's father is a county leader and a high-ranking official. On the Li family's side, it was Li Xueqin's wife Song Xue who answered the phone. When she heard that the call was for Li Xueqin, she immediately called her husband who had just walked into the house to answer the phone.

"It's a call from Leader Zhai."

Song Xue lowered her voice and said something. Hearing this, Li Xueqin's face turned serious. He put the receiver to his ear and said into the receiver, "I am Li Xueqin..." Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, he heard the voice of Zhai's father.

After a while, the two ended their conversation. Li Xueqin put the phone back on the landline, picked up his police hat and prepared to leave the house.

Seeing this, Song Xue hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Comrade Song's sister-in-law went missing in the county town today, and Leader Zhai asked me to help find her."

Simply put, Li Xueqin's figure was just outside the door.

It was freezing cold, and late at night, so there were far fewer people on the streets of the county town than during the day.

"It's not a good idea to look for it without any reason."

Qin Yanzheng's expression was hard to read. He said something in a low voice. Hearing this, Yang Fan said, "How about we go to the police station to report the case first?"

Seeing that Song Lan hadn't said anything yet, Qin Yanzheng called out softly, "Lanlan..."

"parking!"

Song Lan came back to her senses and did not respond to Qin Yanzheng. She said to Yang Fan, "Pull over."

Qin Yanzheng and Yang Fan were both puzzled, but Yang Fan still did as Song Lan said, steering the car with his hands and slowly parked the car by the side of the street.

"System, are you sure my sister-in-law is in the vacant courtyard in the alley ahead?"

After getting off the car, Song Lan stood on the street and asked the system through his mind.

[Replying to the host, this system will not lie! In addition, the host should be familiar with that courtyard! ]

The mechanical sound of the system now sounds cold.

"I'm sorry, system! I'm not doubting you. I'm just too surprised and a little bit unbelievable."

Song Lan explained, and then said: "Could the courtyard you are talking about be the one I went to before to follow the kidnapper?"

【Yes. 】

The system responds.

"So how is my sister-in-law doing now?"

Song Lan asked.

[Locked in the cellar, in a coma! ]

The system spoke mechanically.

"She met a kidnapper, didn't she?"

Song Lan expressed her guess.

[Host, don't you think your question is a bit redundant? ]

If he hadn't met the kidnapper, how could he have been knocked unconscious and locked up in that empty, deserted and dilapidated yard?

"How many kidnappers are there? How should I tell Qin Yanzheng about the whereabouts of my second sister?"

Song Lan fell into deep thought.

[There is only one person at the moment, but he seems to be waiting for someone, and doesn't look like he will stay in the yard for long! As for how the host should tell his family, it is your own business, and this system cannot help you! ]

The system's mechanical sound was devoid of emotion.

"Lanlan, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Yanzheng also got out of the car. Seeing that Song Lan was obviously distracted, he couldn't help feeling confused.

"I wonder where my second sister could be."

Coming back to his senses, Song Lan responded casually.

At the same time, her inner voice rang out.

[My second sister is in a vacant, dilapidated courtyard in the alley ahead, but how should I tell Qin Yanzheng? Also, if I tell him, how should I explain it to him if he asks me how I know?

And...if that kidnapper takes my second sister away from the county town in the dead of night, wouldn't things be even worse...】

Qin Yanzheng was surprised in his heart, but there was no expression unusual on his handsome face.

[It's strange, how come the kidnapper chose that yard as his lair? I rescued Zhai Qiu and the others before and found them in the cellar of that yard. Now, my second sister is also locked up in the cellar of that yard. Could it be that the kidnapper my second sister encountered this time is the same one that Zhai Qiu and the others encountered before? ]

Song Lan was thinking silently in her heart, but Qin Yanzheng suddenly asked: "Where did you rescue someone in the county before?"

Hearing this, Song Lan was stunned: "Ah?" What does this person mean?

"The kidnappers are a group. You rescued two girls and three children from their lair in the county. Although the police have arrested all the kidnappers and many of their accomplices, there are still some who slipped through the net."
