New District Branch.
After cooperating with the police to complete the case, Han Shuilan collapsed and sat on the steps outside the main entrance of the police station, unwilling to leave.
She sometimes covered her face and cried, and sometimes looked up at the dark night sky. There was no sadness in her tear-filled eyes, only empty despair, without any trace of life or hope.
It was very windy and cold at night.
Liu Yanbo took off his coat, put it lightly on Han Shuilan's body, and sat beside her quietly, but could not say a word.
He is not good at words, but he is so stupid that he can't even say a word of comfort, but what's the use of saying it
In this world, happiness can be shared by others, but pain can never be shared with verbal comfort.
Han Shuilan didn't speak either, she didn't even look at Liu Yanbo again.
The police station was brightly lit, people came and went, and there were occasional loud noises, but they seemed to be in another world, with only dead silence.
Just like that, I don't know how long I sat there, until the tears in Han Shuilan's eyes had dried up, and for so long that Liu Yanbo's neck felt sore because he kept turning his head to look at her.
Two gray-haired old men supported each other and walked into the compound of the police station.
The age of these two old people does not seem to be very high, and they should not have reached the age of seventy, but at this moment, their staggering steps seem to have reached the end of their lives, as if every step they take, there may be someone like them The last step in your life.
They walked up the steps tremblingly, and walked up to Han Shuilan who was burying her head and hugging her knees. They seemed to have exhausted all their strength, but the voice they made was so weak, they called out tremblingly: "Xiaolan~"
Han Shuilan raised her head slowly and looked at the two old people who appeared in front of her. Color appeared in those empty eyes again, but it was more sad than sad. She opened her mouth wide but wanted to cry without tears, hoarse But there was an excessively sad cry in the voice: "Dad, Mom, I lost Xi'er~"
The two old people had received this news before they came, but when they heard their daughter say it, they were still struck by lightning.
Han Mu finally couldn't hold it anymore, her eyes were darkened, and she fell back straight.
"My wife~"
"Mom~"
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Liu Yanbo hurriedly caught the fallen mother of Han, and then pinched her.
After a while, Mother Han woke up faintly. As soon as she opened her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, and she kept muttering: "My good grandson, my good grandson..."
"Mom~" Han Shuilan cried bitterly, and kept blaming herself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
collapse-
Only crash.
Father Han seemed to be several dozen years older at this time, and he was already in tears, but he did not fall down. Although he was crumbling, he still stood like a pillar in this cold and windy winter night. He looked up at the brightly lit In the police station building, hoping to see the light of hope, he asked, "Xiao Lan, what did the police say?"
"The police have opened a case for investigation and expanded the scope of the search." Liu Yanbo replied instead.
"Then, is there any news?" Father Han asked eagerly.
Liu Yanbo lowered his head, he didn't dare to face Father Han's hopeful eyes, he shook his head and said, "Not yet."
At this time, no news is the worst news.
Father Han's hopeful eyes gradually became gloomy, and his waist slowly bowed down, and finally he slumped on the steps.
As for Han Mu, she almost passed out again.
The cold wind continued, piercing the heart, making the face of the family of three paler and more lifeless.
Seeing it, Liu Yanbo was very distressed, and persuaded: "Mr. Han, it's so cold today. Uncles and aunts are old and easy to catch cold. Why don't you go back first, and I'll wait here. As soon as there is news, I will Just call and tell you, okay?"
"No! I want to wait here." Han Shuilan insisted.
For her, waiting here is waiting for hope. When I got home, I suffered from tossing and turning.
Although Liu Yanbo has never been a father, he also understands this point, but the more he understands, the more his heart hurts.
"Mr. Han, why don't you just listen to Liu Yanbo and go back first." Gao Wan'er, who had been silent all the time, also persuaded, "I know that the child is the hope of your family's life, but you are also the hope that he can come back. If you fall ill here, who can he expect to find him?"
"Go back, you can at least use your computer to post missing person notices on the Internet, or you can ask your relatives and friends around you to help you find them together, and you can calm down and think about whether there are any missing clues. Whether it is useful or not, at least There is something you can do to find the child."
"And here, you can do nothing but wait."
Gao Wan'er's words were obviously more convincing than Liu Yanbo's, at least in exchange for Han Shuilan's attention.
The fact is true, the three members of the Han family really can't do anything here except wait—
In terms of action, it is impossible for them to interfere with the policy of the police;
Physically and mentally, because they are in the police station, they will be completely occupied by the idea of 'calling the police if something happens'.
And when they go back, when there are no outsiders around, they can only rely on themselves to find a way to cheer up, and they will have more strength and hope.
"Yes, we can't just wait here, we are little Chenxi's greatest hope." Father Han stood up again, his old face was filled with the responsibility and determination that a man should have.
He helped up Han Mu, pulled Han Shuilan up, and then bowed slightly to Liu Yanbo and Gao Wan'er—
Thank you and please.
Before leaving, Han Shuilan finally looked at Liu Yanbo, this was the first time she looked at him since she came to the police station, and begged: "Stinky boy, Xi'er is my only hope, help me find him, okay? "
"I know." Liu Yanbo nodded, and said firmly, "I will definitely find him."
Han Shuilan's mind was too disturbed, and she went to the doctor in a hurry. At this time, as long as she knew anyone, she would beg for help like this.
But Liu Yanbo agreed, and made a promise of a man, a promise that even the police dared not make.
"Really?" Han Shuilan was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. For the first time after her son was lost, there was a gleam of hope in her eyes. "Then this time, you must not lie to me again, okay?"
"Okay!" Liu Yanbo nodded again and said, "Mr. Han, this time, no matter what happens, I will never break my promise."
"I trust you."
When Han Shuilan said this, she was as sincere as before. (to be continued)
