Zhou Zhen and Huo Xiaofang looked at the old lady in front of them. About sixty years old, with gray hair and deep lines on his forehead.
"Your granddaughter's name, how old is it, and when did you leave home and haven't returned?" Zhou Zhen asked.
"My name is He Cui, and my granddaughter is Tan Yaoyao. I am nine years old. I went to school on Monday morning and never came back in the afternoon. I stayed with my wife for a day and two nights, and there was no news at all. The police officer helped me find the child. She has a hard life, only mother and no father. My daughter has been working outside. If she knows that the child has been lost, she may not be able to live! Police officer!" The tears of the old man began to drop as soon as he opened his mouth.
Huo Xiaofang: "Does Tan Yaoyao have classmates and friends who have a good time?"
He Cui shook his head: "Children never tell us about school things..." The old man opened his mouth, and the tears he was holding back fell again.
Huo Xiaofang: "Is she usually introverted? Has she mentioned something in this period of time, or said something that hasn't been said before, or has done something that hasn't been done before?"
He Cui wiped her tears with her sleeves, and thought for a while: "She is more reserved and doesn't talk much. I haven't seen anything wrong recently."
Huo Xiaofang: "How is her relationship with her mother?"
He Cui's muddy tears fell again: "Her parents divorced when she was five years old. Originally, the court sentenced her to her father to raise her. My father didn't want her. Later, my daughter went out to work. The child gave me and My wife took it. Since then, the smile on Yaoyao's face has become less and less. Her mother called back, and she didn't say much. Just a few simple greetings.
When the two talked on the phone last week, Yaoyao rarely talked to her mother for a few more minutes. "
Zhou Zhen's pen has been walking.
"What did you say?" Huo Xiaofang asked.
He Cui shook his head: "She didn't let me listen, saying she wanted to say a few words to her mother alone."
"Didn't you ask your daughter later?" Zhou Chen added.
He Cui: "After the two of them had finished talking, the phone was hung up. My daughter hasn't called back these days. She doesn't have a mobile phone, and she calls back from a public phone every time. My wife and I called After a few calls, no one answered."
Huo Xiaofang: "Which elementary school is Tan Yaoyao in and what grade is she in?"
"In the third elementary school, class 303," the old lady replied.
Huo Xiaofang: "Don't worry, we will check it immediately. Your daughter will call back, leave her contact information, and ask clearly what did she and Tan Yaoyao say during the call that day?"
He Cui nodded: "Police officer, Yaoyao will be fine, right?"
Huo Xiaofang: "Now maybe, think about it with your wife, if there is anything unusual about Tan Yaoyao. Tell us in time so that you can find her faster."
He Cui: "Yes, it's a police officer!"
Zhou Zhen and Huo Xiaofang showed their credentials to the guard and entered the third small school in Shicheng.
A 28-year-old woman with glasses knocked on the door and walked into the reception room. Huo Xiaofang: "Are you the head teacher of Class 303?"
The woman nodded: "My name is Liu Hui, the head teacher of Class 303."
"You can talk about Tan Yaoyao's usual situation in class."
Liu Hui: "She speaks less often, and the grades are good, basically in the top ten in the class. When Monday was over, she came to me and seemed to want to say something, but then left without saying anything. No. Early the next morning, her grandfather came to the school and said that she had not gone home. I followed the two old people for two days but couldn’t find it. Then the old man went to the police. But the surveillance at the school’s gate showed that she was indeed carrying her back that day. The schoolbag is out of the school gate."
