The sound of wind and rain at night

46

Wan Qili didn't have time to hang up the phone, opened the door and ran out. When Wan Qichengzhi and Dong Wan heard the quarrel outside, there was only the wide open door left.

Chen Xiucheng heard the sound of 'dong dong' going downstairs through the receiver. Did this guy run down from more than ten floors like this without even using the elevator?He got out of the car and greeted him. As soon as he got to the fifth floor, he saw Wan Tili holding his hands on the railing and holding his chest, panting, "Does it hurt?"

Wan Tili shook his head and fell into Chen Xiucheng's arms, "Chest tightness, let me rest for a while."

When Shen Cong got down from the elevator and ran outside, he saw a strange tall man walking towards a car by the side of the road with Wan Qili on his back. Wan Qili tightly wrapped his arms around the man's neck, as if they were one. , the man opened the car door and carefully put Wan Qili on the co-pilot, and when he walked around the car and opened the driver's door, he suddenly glanced in his direction, even through the night, he couldn't stop the extreme indifference in the man's eyes.

The sound of the car faded away, and Shen Cong stood there blankly for an unknown amount of time. He thought he would lose this childhood friend forever.

Leaning on the car door, Wan Qili lightly talked to Chen Xiucheng about his father's anger at him at home, about the misplaced friendship between him and Shen Cong when they were young, and the panic and despair in their hearts after their ignorant kiss was smashed by Yuan Mengcan. ..

These are all pimples in his heart, but now he talks about it lightly. He didn't know when he had let go of it, but he didn't have the right opportunity to say it. Chen Xiucheng held the steering wheel and drove very steadily. He didn't have any problems. When asking questions, he quietly listened to Wan Tili's muttering. When the car drove into the urban area of ​​Penghai, the side became quiet, and Wan Tili had already fallen asleep.

...

Teacher Zhao checked the dormitory again and re-covered the children who had stepped on the quilt. Finally, she took a flashlight around the room before gently closing the door.

This is a school for the deaf with average facilities on the outskirts of the city. It manages more than 200 deaf-mute children aged 5-15 full-time and lives here. Teacher Zhao is the head teacher of the second grade and it is her turn to be on duty this evening.

After checking the room, Teacher Zhao went back to the duty room to rest. Before going to bed, she set the alarm clock to two o'clock in the morning, and went to the dormitory area when it was o'clock. After reading the book for a while, the hand holding the book hangs down after 10 minutes, and only the occasional 'hissing' sound of the light bulb is left in the room.

"what."

"Shh," the visitor made a silence gesture to the boy who woke up, followed by a series of gestures under the boy's still not awake and puzzled eyes, and the boy entered the dormitory through the moonlight outside The light saw clearly and the visitor also understood what he meant, "Mom gave you something, but the teacher forgot to give it to you. The teacher will go out tomorrow morning and wants to give it to you now. Get up and come with me to the teacher's office to get it." '.

The boy's eyes lit up, he smiled happily and got up and put on his clothes. Someone came to help him get out of bed and put on his shoes. "Let's go." He took the boy's soft and warm hands out of the dormitory and closed it gently. door.

...

In the past two days, Wan Tili's physical condition has improved significantly. It may be because there is no depression in his heart and Chen Xiucheng's "moisturizing" from time to time. The whole person looks very good.Chen Xiucheng took away his troublesome hand, put it to his lips, kissed it and continued to make breakfast, Wan Tili put his arms around his waist and walked east and west like a big koala, and rested for more than a week, he was so idle Chen Xiucheng is trying to bring him to work together, of course Chen Xiucheng is not happy, it is already the 27th today, and it is almost the New Year's Day. The bureau is very tight and everyone is going to patrol the streets. Walking on the street for a whole day is unbearable, "You are obedient and don't make trouble, I will let you go to work after the festival."

If the goal is not achieved, Wan Qili lets go and sits back at the dining table, what about the love and dedication that he promised?It's clearly an abuse of privacy.

Chen Xiucheng put fried eggs, meat buns and porridge in front of him and rubbed his resentful head, "Do I have a pet cat now, huh? I'm getting angry too."

"Bah", Wan Qili bared his teeth like a cat, "I'll bite you to death."

Chen Xiucheng bent down and pointed to his neck, "Come on, bite here."

Finally, the two of them knew that the time tension in the morning was not as out of control as in the evening, they scratched each other twice and then had breakfast peacefully. Chen Xiucheng had never been so sticky with another person as long as they were together, they just wanted to cling to each other There are always many inconveniences in the unit, so it is not completely unreasonable for Wan Qi to slander him for "abuse of private rights".

Sending Chen Xiucheng away Wan Qili simply cleaned up the kitchen, turned on the TV and watched the news for a while, then planned to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some ingredients for dinner. Chen Xiucheng has already made it difficult for him to eat green vegetables and noodles like a thing in his previous life. Wan Qili pouted and took out his coat from the closet. Just as he was thinking about where to put his mobile phone, he heard a familiar bell ringing from the gap in the sofa cushion in the living room.

He walked over and removed the cushions. Last night, as usual, he chatted with Chen Xiucheng while scrolling through Weibo. I don’t know what sentence stimulated the other party, so he was pressed on the sofa for a good meal. The recent life is so ridiculous that I have to go to work immediately, and I made up my mind again. Wan Qili took out his mobile phone to answer the call.

The voice of the person on the phone trembled slightly. It should be that the whistling wind could still be heard when the phone was dialed outside, "Hello, hello! Is it Police Officer Wanqi? I'm Zhao Wenxiu, I have something urgent to ask for your help." busy."

"Sister Zhao? Sister Zhao, don't rush and talk slowly," Wan Qili said as he quickly picked up the clothes at hand and walked out the door, remembering that Chen Xiucheng mentioned that there was a car that hadn't been driven much parked in the garage before returning. Find car keys.

When he was busy, the teacher Zhao over there told him the matter simply and hastily. It turned out that the school had lost a five and a half year old boy. After more than two hours, there was still no sign of the child. Seeing that the leaders were still hesitating, Teacher Zhao secretly called Wan Qili in a hurry.

This Mr. Zhao is a family member of the victim that Wan Qili met when he was involved in a fraud case two years ago. They helped the Zhao family to recover the loss of 10,000+. The other two colleagues transferred away, and only he stayed here. Knowing that he was alone in Penghai for the past two years, the Zhao family would call him and invite him to have dinner at home during the holidays. The relationship has been maintained like this, Zhao Wenxiu was ten years older than him, so he called her 'Sister Zhao'.

"Miss Zhao, please calm down and I will go there right away, but I suggest you call the police immediately. The police will file a case immediately if you lose your child. Delaying the report is not effective for the school. If you try to do some work, I will also contact my colleagues. Also, definitely Protect the scene and if there is surveillance, protect it to prevent insiders from committing crimes and destroying the evidence.” While speaking, he found a key to a Buick in the drawer of the coffee table and ran out before picking up the messed up things.

After Zhao Wenxiu agreed, he hung up the phone and walked towards the school leaders who had gathered to discuss countermeasures. The headmaster was surnamed Wei, and he was short and thin in his early fifties.The five-and-a-half-year-old child is still deaf-mute, unable to even call for help when in danger.

"Call the police," Principal Wei waved at Teacher Zhao when he saw that he was about to speak, "We will continue to search until the police come, and we must find the child no matter what."

"Hey," Zhao Wenxiu saw that the principal agreed and immediately dialed the police number, and the second call was to Wan Qili. At this time, Wan Qili had joined Chen Xiucheng and the others. Knowing that the school had already called the police, he was finally relieved. In a calm tone, "Captain, let's bring the case over. In addition, I'm requesting leave to resume work."

What can Chen Xiucheng say in front of several other colleagues? Everyone can see that Wan Tili is alive and kicking. Liang Zi stands by and waits for orders."

Chen Xiucheng strode away, Wan Tili turned around and smiled ambiguously, and the little demon and Liang Ziwei made faces.

On the way, Chen Xiucheng made several phone calls, and learned that the Puyang police station in the area of ​​Aiyu School for the Deaf and Mute had taken over the case and dispatched the police in time. At this time, it is obviously inappropriate for them to intervene, "Well, let's pay attention to this case. If If there is no progress in two days, I will apply to the higher authorities, or how about we pick it up as soon as the police station reports a request for support? Always give them some time, if you want to help, we can help you privately after work, what do you think?"

Of course Wan Tulli knew these reasons. He called Zhao Wenxiu and learned that he had already begun to actively search for him. "I don't have much time after get off work, why don't I take a few more days off?"

Chen Xiucheng gave him a sideways glance, "You are beautiful, go to the bureau to be on duty."

...

Xiaoshu curled up in the backseat of the van, his eyes widened and his mouth was tightly shut. He couldn't hear or speak, but he was also extremely smart. From the time he was stunned and then woke up in the shaking of the van, he knew instinctively that he He was in danger, and he didn't struggle or cry, and his well-behaved appearance reassured the two tall men beside him. They chatted loudly in a foreign language, and the driver in front also turned around to interject a few words from time to time, and the three He doesn't know anyone.

Xiaoshu turned his head and looked out the window. The car had been out of the urban area for a long time. In order to avoid crowded places, they chose township roads. Penghai in winter is not as dry and cold as in the mainland, it is a kind of bleak coldness. The rapidly receding trees on the side of the road are still covered with yellow-green leaves.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shu fell asleep in a daze, and did not open his eyes until someone pushed him. The sky outside was once again completely dark.

"Get down!" The man sitting next to him got out of the car first and waved at him.

Xiao Shu stared blankly at the simple two-story building behind the man. In the night, the two dark gates were like the mouths of wild beasts baring their fangs, waiting for him to enter before swallowing them.

Seeing that Xiaoshu was not moving, the man impatiently stretched out his hand and pulled him out like a chicken. When Xiaoshu fell to the ground, he staggered a step before he stood still.

It may be that they heard the sound of parking outside. The door opened quickly, and a middle-aged woman in her thirties with flamboyant clothes walked towards them with a smile. She didn't say hello to the three people, but went straight to Xiaoshu Bending down in front of him and looking at it carefully.

"This little guy has nice skin and tender flesh. It's painful to look at." She stretched out her hand and scratched Xiaoshu's chin. Xiaoshu was so frightened that he wanted to stick himself on the car.

"Since Miss Yue is satisfied, look at the price..." the driver said with a smile, "We took a big risk this time, and the asking price over there is not low. If you come out with one, you can add more to it, so that everyone can cooperate in the future, which is much better than the wild children picked up on the street, you see, how long it is."

Xiaoshu only ate a small piece of bread all day. He was very hungry and cold, but he didn't dare to move. He could only stare in fear at their big eyes full of tears, watching them communicate with each other. , He couldn't hear but felt that they were talking about their own things, terrible things.

...

In the evening, Wan Tili went to Zhao Wenxiu's house. Teacher Zhao's eyes were red when he spoke. Xiaoshu's full name is Zhan Jiashu. He is five and a half years old this year. After her mother remarried last year, she was sent to their love language school for the deaf, "This is the child, look how cute he is."

Zhao Wenxiu took out a photo album from the desk drawer, and the photo of Xiaoshu was in the back. The young child stuck out his head holding a cherry tree and looked at the camera with a mischievous smile.

"He is a relatively young child in our school. When he first came, the school didn't want to accept him because of his young age. His mother begged for a long time and said that the remarried family was not willing to accept Xiaoshu. If we don't take him in anymore, we can only let him go. I went to my hometown in the mountains. I remember that Xiaoshu was holding a baby giraffe toy and timidly pulling his mother's clothes. It may have been taught at home. When his mother pushed him in front of us, he smiled and looked at us. I bowed, so small..." When it came to the emotional part, Teacher Zhao couldn't help crying, Wan Qili took a tissue from the table, and Teacher Zhao took it and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Sister Zhao, although Aiyu School is a private school, I heard that the management is good. How could someone secretly take the child out? Do you have any doubts..."

"Is it an insider?" Mr. Zhao nodded, "Now this possibility is indeed the greatest. The police handling the case are also interrogating us one by one, but as far as I know, at least today there is no progress. There are three other people on duty yesterday besides me. The teachers in other classes, I know them, they're not the type to do this."

"What about monitoring?"

Mentioning the monitoring, Mr. Zhao showed anxiety, "Only the school gate and the teaching area are there, and nothing was photographed. Now even I am the object of suspicion, alas~"

"Sister Zhao, don't worry, the police always handle cases like this, Fang Xin, let the clearer clear himself."

"I'm not afraid of this, but I'm afraid that the child will be more dangerous if he is outside for one more day. Don't laugh at me, I went to my aunt's house after work today. She worships Guanyin Bodhisattva all the year round. I used to be dismissive of these things. Yes, but this time I sincerely ask the Bodhisattva to bless that child and let him come back safely."

Wan Tulli handed over the tissue again, "Sister Zhao, I can understand your feelings, don't worry, tomorrow I will ask an acquaintance to see where the case has come, and I will help if I can, you see how old this child is It looks like a lucky man, so don't get too angry," Wan Qili was a little embarrassed after he finished speaking, did this sound like a policeman's words.

...

When Chen Xiucheng came out of the shower, he saw Wan Tili sitting on the couch by the window with the cup of cold water in a daze. He walked over and took him into his arms and kissed him, "Still thinking about that child?"

"Well, in fact, I am most afraid of encountering cases about children. Every policeman is unwilling. I remember that when I first came to work in the bureau, I was an intern under Director Yin. He was the captain of the third team at that time. They were Dealing with a kidnapping case, the hostage was a seven-year-old girl. At that time, the family members heard the child crying on the kidnapper’s phone, and the kidnappers took the opportunity to raise the ransom. We advised them to trust the police and cooperate with the police. The kidnapper was caught, but the family members couldn't hold back and met the kidnapper behind our backs. The huge ransom was paid according to the kidnapper's intention, but the child was not seen for a long time. When we got the news, the kidnapper had already run away, and the case has been dragging on It took half a month to finally catch those kidnappers in other provinces. During the interrogation, it was learned that the child was killed at the beginning. What they played to the family members was a recording they had prepared long ago. Snakeskin bag containing the dead body of the child...very cruel."

"I know, I have encountered such a thing before," Chen Xiucheng ran along Wan Qili's hair, he knew that the person in his arms was very soft and insecure, and in some ways he was not suitable for the police this profession.

"And Dongdong..."

"Shh..." Chen Xiucheng hugged him tightly, "Don't think about those we are not gods, Xiaoli, think more about those people you have helped and saved over the years, otherwise you won't be able to make it through, you know? Be good, go Take a shower and go to bed early, don’t you have to help find Xiaoshu tomorrow? I will help you, and we will find him together.”

Wan Tili turned his head and looked carefully at Chen Xiucheng's eyebrows. They were still neat sword eyebrows, and still those terrifying red phoenix eyes, but these eyes were no longer as indifferent as they were when they first met. It poured out and melted him away, "Chen Xiucheng?"

"kindness?"

"Chen Xiucheng."

"kindness."
