Rong Bamei made half-time phone calls, but found nothing.From these calls, she discovered that Rong Xiaodie had no friends at school.

Jiang Yu went to report the case, but the police said that the case would not be filed within 24 hours of leaving home.He also said that many children who run away from home will return by themselves in a short time.Let the parents think about it again, which acquaintances and relatives will take in the children, make a few more phone calls, maybe they will find them, which is faster than calling the police.

Qi Nuliang also asked his group of people to spread the news, but there is no response yet.

"Don't worry so much, Xiaodie is not stupid. If there is no place to stay, she will definitely come back. She hasn't come home now, so she must be staying somewhere we didn't expect for a while."

Calling her classmates one by one, Rong Bamei was already struggling, but at this moment she heard Qi Nuliang's comforting words, and she couldn't hold it any longer.She covered her face, and let out some sobbing sounds from between her fingers: "Where can she go? She has no money, no friends, and a girl who is outside, is really anxious to death."

"Didn't you listen to what Xiao Yu said? The police have said that children who run away from home usually come back within two days. She is just angry. When the anger subsides, or when she is hungry, she knows to go home."

"Will she really come home?"

"Yes. I have sent her photos to my brothers. Hongcheng is my territory, so why can't I find a little girl?" Qi Nuliang stuffed a few tissues into Rong Bamei's hand, " Don't cry, it's almost dawn, you go to sleep for a while."

"How can I sleep."

"Then lie down and rest for a while. If you don't have the strength, how can you continue to look for her tomorrow?"

Bamei Rong wiped her face and calmed down her emotions: "You also ran all night, go home and rest."

"I am fine."

"You listen to me, go back to sleep. I'll think about it again, where she might have gone. "

Qi Nuliang gave some more instructions and went back to his home.

Neither of them could sleep for a while, and Qi Nuliang and Rong Bamei went out to find someone again just after dawn.

As soon as Qi Nuliang stepped out of the house, Jiang Yu followed him out.

He rode his bicycle all the way to Hongcheng, making seven turns and eight turns, and entered the old street behind Yingcai Middle School.He locked the car under the sign of an old hotel, went to a nearby store to buy a large package of snacks and drinks, and bought a fried rice in a nearby small restaurant.Back outside the hotel, while the old man sitting behind the counter buried his head in spitting, he quickly slipped in and went upstairs in a flash.

"Brother Jiang Yu, why are you here now?"

"Hungry?" Jiang Yu looked at the snack bags all over the floor and the unfinished snacks on the bed, "I brought you something to eat."

Rong Xiaodie glanced at the food in his hand, not very interested: "I'm not hungry."

Jiang Yu put the bag aside and gave the rice to Rong Xiaodie.She said she was not hungry, but still took it and started eating.

"When will I be able to go home?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, not today."

Rong Xiaodie twitched her lips, a little disappointed: "But it's really boring here, can I go out and play for a while?"

"No."

"Why, I just went out for a stroll and didn't go back, is that okay?" Rong Xiaodie put down the lunch box, a little angry, she was really panicking.

"If I say no, I won't do it." Jiang Yu didn't take her trick at all, and glanced at her coldly, "Stay here, don't go out, listen to me as you said."

"But……"

Jiang Yu suddenly moved over and touched Rong Xiaodie's head: "Now people are looking for you everywhere outside, and your mother is angry. If you are arrested right now, you are looking for death. So you should hide first, and wait for her in two days. I believe that if you really leave and you go back, she won't care about being angry with you, and she will agree to whatever you want."

"really?"

"real."

"Then I won't go out, can you stay with me here for a while?"

"I have to go back in a while, and come back in the afternoon. What do you want to eat, I will bring it to you."

Rong Xiaodie rolled her eyes and thought for a while: "Can burgers and fried chicken legs be okay?"

"Yes. But you have to be obedient and not go out, can you do it?"

Rong Xiaodie nodded heavily.

At night, Rong Xiaodie had been missing for more than 24 hours, and no one was found yet.Bamei Rong was tired and anxious, on the verge of collapse several times, if Qi Nuliang hadn't been with her all the time, she didn't know if she could hold on at this moment.

The police also immediately sent people to look for it. Through their visits and investigations, some residents of the daily chemical factory said that they met Rong Xiaodie who ran away from home yesterday evening.She was alone, with a schoolbag on her back, and even asked her to ignore her.The man watched her get on the bus to Hongcheng.

It didn't take long for the driver of that bus to be found. Based on his superficial impression, he only knew that Rong Xiaodie got on the bus at the daily chemical factory station, and he didn't know exactly where he got off.As for the camera on the car, it has long been broken beyond repair.

The clues are temporarily broken here, and they can only be sorted out on a larger scale, which will take more time.

Rong Bamei followed her for a day, and at this time she stayed in the police station waiting for news, unwilling to leave.

A policeman came to persuade her to go back and rest first.

"We all know you are in a hurry, but you can't do anything here, it will only hinder us. You'd better go back and watch, maybe she comes back by herself. According to our experience, 80.00% of teenagers and children who run away from home are I went home by myself."

"But……"

The policeman called Qi Nuliang: "Take her back first, if there is news, we will notify you immediately."

"Bamei, let's go, go back and have something to eat first."

"I can't eat anything."

"Don't worry so much. You listen to me, go eat some food first, at least you won't collapse."

Qi Nuliang dragged Bamei Rong to the restaurant and continued to analyze.

"Yesterday she left by herself, at least it means that she was not abducted. She left just before you went home last night. You found me and came to me. I immediately had people guard at several intersections and stations in Hongcheng. No one was found, which meant that she must still be in Hongcheng.

"I searched Hongcheng for a whole day today. So many people searched through this big place, but they couldn't find it. Obviously she hid somewhere."

"I'm afraid that she will meet someone and get kidnapped."

"She left by herself. There are people coming and going in Hongcheng. She is not a child of one or two years old, but a girl in her teens. How can she be so easily kidnapped? Besides, Xiaodie's temper can be up to you. She is very fierce. She wants I don't want to, everyone in the city is looking for her, who can take her out of the city without making any noise?"

What he said somewhat comforted Bamei Rong, and she had some food in the evening.

Another night passed, still no news.

Bamei Rong went to various parts of the county early in the morning to distribute her missing person notices that were not finished yesterday.At noon, Qi Nuliang called her back, saying that he had found someone from the county TV station and asked her to record a missing person message.

Note that it was sent by the manager of Xijiao City. Since Qi Nuliang thinks that the little girl has hidden herself, then spread the news that she is looking for her through radio and television.Little child, as long as you coax her, if her wish is fulfilled, she will come back when she sees herself.

Facing the camera, Bamei Rong straightened her hair and adjusted her expression.However, when the recording started, she couldn't help crying as soon as she yelled "Xiaodie".

"Xiaodie, where have you been, come back quickly, we are all looking for you. Mom swears that she will never beat or scold you again, and I will listen to you whatever you say. Well, as long as you come back..."

The cameras moved away, and it took her a long time to stop crying.

In the evening, this text message began to be broadcast in rotation below the county TV station.After the news broadcast ended, the local news also reported on this incident, and Rong Xiaodie's photo was enlarged and pasted on the screen.The mother's mournful call and pleading also sounded on the radio.

Jiang Yu didn't expect that everything would go smoother than expected, so he went to the hotel again while Qi Nuliang was away.

"Rong Xiaodie, pack your things, you can go home now."

The little girl chewed potato chips, sat cross-legged on the bed, and watched "My Fair Princess" without blinking.

"Is it really okay? Can you guarantee that my mother won't beat me when I go back now?"

"Didn't you see the news?"

"What news?"

Jiang Yu took the remote control and tuned the TV to the local station, and Bamei Rong's haggard face appeared on the screen.Rong Xiaodie was stunned by the tearful call.

Jiang Yu turned off the TV.

"Your mother won't beat you anymore, and she won't marry Qi Nuliang, let's go."

Rong Xiaodie suddenly turned her head, looked at Jiang Yu for a while, then shook her head suddenly.

"You don't want to go?"

Rong Xiaodie turned on the TV, tuned to "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", and continued to eat potato chips: "I want to go home tomorrow, can I?"

"Don't you think it's boring here, and you want to go back a long time ago?"

Rong Xiaodie didn't speak, as if she was completely attracted by the TV and was not interested in anything else, she was also indifferent to her mother's begging and crying.

Jiang Yu completely understood her in an instant.

This was probably the first time that Rong Xiaodie felt that Bamei Rong actually cared about her. Those broken emotions, those tears, that urgent calling and pleading were all evidence of her mother's love for her.Now that the evidence has been found, why not strengthen it and make her collapse and feel more uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll extend the room rate for another night, you just stay here and don't go out at night."

"I know, I haven't been out these days."

"Tomorrow at eight or nine o'clock, you will come out when there are more people outside. Is it okay to go home by yourself? Take the No. 302 bus downstairs and go directly to the West Station of the Daily Chemical Factory."

"no problem."

"What should I say when I get home, remember?"

"remember."

According to his understanding of Rong Xiaodie, she must be fine with such a small matter.After giving these instructions, Jiang Yu left some money for her and went home.

As long as Rong Xiaodie returns home tomorrow, all this will be over.Rong Bamei and Qi Nuliang definitely have no way to be together again, and they will only regard Rong Xiaodie's running away from home as a little girl's anger, and he can stay out of it completely.
