Falling back to gl

The problem is more complicated and cannot be clarified in a few words.

It was Jiang Tian who first discovered that the child was missing, and the root cause must be told from him.

There was basically no work in the school's laboratory that day. Jiang Tian wandered around Beichuan Street in the evening when he was free, and made a special trip to help out, and stayed in the rented house for a few hours.

There were only distant relatives in the house, and A Chong's mother who was sick in bed had to be taken care of and the children were taken care of. One person was not energetic enough and was too tired, so everyone needed to help each other in many cases.

Originally, before this, the relatives put Xiaoyu in the mother's house to take care of them together, and they couldn't take care of them when they were separated, and they always locked the child under their noses.But today there is an extra adult, and Jiang Tian took the initiative to share, so the relatives relieved Xiaoyu to play in the yard for a while, and ran outside twice to relieve boredom.

Children are lively and active by nature, and it is not good to be locked in the room all day long, which is harmful to physical and mental growth in the long run.

Out of good intentions, the relatives didn't worry too much, and they didn't let it go completely. They would come out from time to time to have a look to prevent Xiaoyu from running too far, and didn't even give the gate to the yard.

Jiang Tian is also like this, watching every few minutes to help.

It stands to reason that the two adults are so responsible that nothing will go wrong, but the bad thing is the grocery shopping and cooking later, and no one expected this to happen.

Jiang Tian had a big heart, thinking that the vegetable market was nearby, and half an hour back and forth was more than enough, and he felt that he would be back soon, so he didn't inform his relatives before leaving, and went out with a pat on the head and melon seeds.

By coincidence, my relative had just boiled a bucket of hot water and was scrubbing my mother's body with the door closed.

Both adults were negligent, thinking that the other would take care of Xiaoyu.

... When Jiang Tian came back with a bag of vegetables, there was no sign of the child in the courtyard.

Standing in front of the closed door of the room, Jiang Tian panicked and was dumbfounded.

The relatives were even more frightened, and a bucket of hot water was knocked over immediately, making it all over the floor.

At first they didn't dare to teach A Chong's mother that Xiaoyu might still be somewhere around if he was just naughty and disobedient. However, after hastily searching the surrounding areas, they still couldn't find the child.

There is no one in the house, and there is no figure nearby.

It's like it just disappeared out of nowhere and can't be found anywhere.

Only then did the relatives call A Chong anxiously, telling the whole story in a crying voice, and told him to come back quickly.

A Chong was still on the bus when he received the call, and the road was congested during the rush hour. When he heard that his son had disappeared, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Fortunately, the bus was only two stops away from Beichuan Street. A Chong barely held on, got off the bus with a pale face, and ran back to the rented house in one breath.

Chen Qirui also rushed there immediately. He didn't go to work, and he didn't have time to apply to the store manager for leave. He put aside his work and rode here desperately.

But either way, it's too late.

Two more adults can't change the status quo. The child is really lost, and it's useless to search for it again. No one can be found after three feet of digging.

Beichuan Street became a mess, and everyone turned around, anxious.

The police comrades also came and sent a small team out.Arriving 2 minutes earlier than A Chong and Chen Qirui, the police were dispatched extremely quickly.

Jiang Tian reported to the police, and called 110 the first time he failed to find Xiaoyu. His reaction was quite rational, and he did not forget to ask the police station for help when his mind went blank.

Ji Cen'an was the last one to find out about it. Chen Qirui asked her to go there immediately, mobilize all available connections, no matter if they were friends or just acquaintances on a general level, and asked everyone to find Xiaoyu together.

Ji Cen'an was not in the store at night, and just changed shifts. According to the store manager's arrangement, he made up for the time off before. He worked in the beverage store during the day and didn't get off work until six in the afternoon. He just missed these.

When she received the news, she hadn't rested yet, and was waiting for Nanjia to go back to discuss the matter. After learning about the general process, her heart skipped a beat, and she sensed something inexplicably.

Intuitively, it has something to do with me, and I can't get rid of it.

But after all, it is just a momentary thought, the real situation needs to be verified, and the case cannot be handled with the sixth sense, and it will be troublesome to draw a conclusion without evidence, and will confuse the situation even more.

Maybe Xiaoyu got lost by accident, so the most urgent thing to do is to find him as soon as possible, and disperse the police force to confirm the unrelated direction, which will only delay the search process and waste unnecessary effort.

Ji Cen'an didn't guess lightly. He went out overnight without waiting for Nanjia, without saying hello, and without even informing Zhao Qihong or other people in the villa, and drove straight there.

Her face was gloomy, and after hanging up the phone, her face was cold, with a very dignified expression.

At first glance, it looks like something big has happened, it's definitely not simple.

Zhao Qihong was vigilant, knowing that something happened, but he didn't know the cause and effect at this time, and his heart suddenly became tense, so he stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Miss Jiang Can, are you going out?"

Ji Cen'an didn't have time to deal with him, so he strode to the parking lot, without explaining, he just said: "Well, I have something to do, I'll be back later... I'll come back when I'm done."

Zhao Qihong wanted to stop him, fearing that there was something wrong, so he thought about it and said, "What's the matter, it's still late at night, you just answered the phone and you're going to drive out, do you need us to accompany you, or should I go with you?"

Ji Cen'an bent over to open the door and got into the car, stepped on the gas pedal, used the exhaust fumes instead of answering, and slammed him far behind.

Zhao Qihong was at a loss and stood there blankly.

It was almost eleven o'clock at night when we arrived at Beichuan Street, and the police team was not here for a long time. Two policemen transferred the surveillance and went back to the office. matters.

Ji Cen'an's appearance did not attract the policewoman's attention. After all, she was not the first family member or friend to arrive.

Ah Chong left with the surveillance police, and Jiang Tian and his relatives also went there to make notes to see if they could help.

Chen Qirui had just come back from looking outside twice, his head was covered with sweat, and he was still wearing work clothes from the shop. His jacket was soaked and stuck to his skinny back, and his permed hair had long since lost its shape. He looked tired and embarrassed.

Seeing Ji Cen'an, Chen Qirui dragged her without saying a word, and called Ji Cen'an to search for it.

Ji Cen'an followed him and asked him, "What did the police say?"

Chen Qirui's mouth was dry, and his usual image of a naughty handsome guy was gone, and he became a headless fly, flying around and not knowing what to do.

"I don't know, I didn't ask." He shook his head, randomly grabbed a bottle of mineral water that no one knew who had drunk it, and drank more than half of it with his neck raised, his eyeballs were a little bloodshot.

Ji Cen'an was relatively calm.

"Where is the monitoring, which direction is it going?"

Chen Qirui said: "I've looked for it, but I haven't."

There is surveillance at the intersection here, but it is limited to the main road outside. The one in the alley is broken, and it will be scrapped in a year.

The police failed to find Xiaoyu on the monitoring of the main road, and checked all the monitoring available around the same time period, but still did not find where the child was.

The only thing that is certain now is that the child did not run to the main road. The more optimistic ones may be that he went out to drill the trail and got lost, and he couldn't find it by himself. If it was bad, he might have been abducted on purpose.

The probability of the former is not high. No matter how far a three-year-old child can run, he will never be able to find someone.On the other hand, Xiaoyu's character is timid and self-conscious. This child is very clingy to adults. Even if he walks away by himself, if he can't come back, he will probably be afraid to cry. Someone should find out.

The police have gone door-to-door and checked. Residents living nearby have said that they have not seen any strange children, and they have not heard any suspicious noises.

Let alone people, there are no stray dogs, and there is no sound.

As for abduction and trafficking, no one dares to guarantee it.

Although it is a modern society with advanced information, it is not impossible. Losing a child in the city is not a zero-probability event, but it is rare now.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the police have already been investigating based on this, and have already dispatched additional manpower to stations, airports and other places, and the battle has become very large.

But so far, no progress has been made.Searched all over, still nothing.

But what is certain is that the child should still be in Z City.

"Should", not 100%.

The police also gave other possibilities of compromise. Maybe Xiaoyu fell somewhere and got injured, but the child is too young to call for help/couldn’t call for help, or maybe he was taken home by some kid to play without notifying here.

This kind of situation has happened to the police in the past. The adults searched the sky and were so anxious that the child was finally found in someone else's house.

Chen Qirui was looking for these two types of possibilities, and searched with a flashlight, worried that Xiaoyu was ignorant and playful, and also worried that the child would fall into a ditch or a sewage well.

"Let's take a look at the park." Chen Qirui fumbled out a flashlight and threw it to Ji Cen'an, panting from exhaustion while walking, "Let's go to Tongding and meet again."

Ji Cen'an picked up the flashlight without any fuss, and just followed the instructions.

However, I searched again and it was still the same. If there is nothing, there is nothing. I turned over the slabs of the drainage ditch and found nothing.

The park was pitch black late at night, and there were a few street lights in the central area, and the lights were so weak that they would go out at any moment.They looked at all the places, and even drilled through the grass. Except for the artificial lake, they didn't miss any corners they were looking for.

And in the artificial lake... Ji Cen'an stared at the dark water with a flashlight, unable to see the bottom.

This lake is so wide, there is an antique-style covered bridge on the bank, and a huge waterwheel stands on the east side.The waterwheel is still working, turning round and round, with the sound of sprinkling water.

Chen Qirui said few words, watched in silence for half a minute, then turned around and turned back.

"Look in the alley again." He said, calling for Ji Cen'an.

Ji Cen'an held the palms of his hands until his joints turned white, and he didn't say a word, not thinking about the consequences that shouldn't happen.

At around 40:[-], Ah Chong and Jiang Tian came back from the police station and were taken home by a police car.

Unable to find the child, Ah Chong looked ashamed and defeated, but he never shed a tear, nor did he break down and vent.She was tense from the beginning to the end, even if her lips trembled occasionally and she couldn't speak a word, she could still carry it.

——Don’t dare to fall until that moment.

Jiang Tian blamed himself for half the night, blaming himself for the matter.After seeing A Chong, he slapped himself hard twice, feeling sorry for A Chong, it was because he didn't take good care of Xiaoyu that made the child lost.

The eyes of the older relatives were swollen into walnuts from crying, as if the sky had fallen, and they couldn't stand upright several times.She shouldn't have closed the door, why did she have to hurry to get those things done? If she waited for Ah Chong to come back, the child would still be at home.

The relatives were so regretful that their intestines were green, and they were so annoyed that they had no face to see Ah Chong and the others.

A Chong didn't blame them, and no one blamed them.

Who can blame this kind of thing? Others came to help. In the final analysis, it was her incompetence as a mother who dragged everyone down.

The scene was dead silent, and as time passed, everyone's hearts sank.

The longer it takes, the more ominous it will be.

Ji Cen'an and Chen Qirui went back to the rented house around halfway in the morning to see Ah Chong and his mother, worried that they would not be able to think about it for a while, and then called Jiang Tian out to continue searching.

If you can't find it, you have to look for it. As long as there is no whereabouts, you can't stop.

Several people, together with the police, searched the surrounding area up and down, and did not dare to slack off for a second all night.

The police station also posted a missing person notice on the Internet, hoping that someone familiar with the matter could provide clues.

I don't know how I got through this night. It was hot and humid in summer, and I was tired from running around, but Ji Cen'an's hands were cold.For no reason, she remembered the night she had a car accident.

The overturned vehicle, the broken glass, the pain, the smell of blood... She was trapped inside, unable to make a sound in her throat, her consciousness was blurred, and she couldn't even make a phone call... The flesh and blood on her back seemed to be forced A hole was torn open, and the seat cushion was stained bright red.

Walking out of Beichuan Street, leaning against the lamppost by the side of the road, Ji Cen'an took out his mobile phone and dialed a number he knew by heart.After being connected, after a long while, she said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Help me."

The other side already knew what happened here, very early on.

Ji Cen'an whispered: "If you still can't find Xiaoyu, take me to see Pei Shaoyang before nine o'clock."

Plans are never more important than people. Ji Cen'an made a choice, even though she was not sure whether it was related to Pei Shaoyang and the others—but as long as there was a slight chance, she would leave one of them without hesitation—the one that belonged to Nanjia. this side.

This is necessary and a reasonable preference.

Any normal person with a conscience should choose this way, and she is no exception.

Understandable and expected.

It is perfectly reasonable and beyond reproach.

The other side listened silently, there was no sound for a while, as if the signal was delayed.

After a long time, as if he had confirmed something, the other party slowly said: "Yes."

Immediately, hung up the phone quickly.

There was not half a second of hesitation.
