But when the ticket seller pushed little Cheng Li and the little boy in front of them, several people looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation about such a little thief.
"Comrade, this child has been separated from his mother. This child was sent here."
So that's how it is. Fortunately, I didn't show a fierce expression, otherwise I would scare the child. I reached out to hold Cheng Li's hand, but he dodged it flexibly:
"Auntie, is this really the Public Security Bureau?"
"Yes, there was a thief in our car, and he was sent directly here, so don't worry."
Little Chengli looked up at the plaque and saw the words "Jin County Public Security Bureau" written on it. He immediately felt relieved and bowed to the ticket seller to express his gratitude.
"This child is so polite. Comrade, I leave the child to you. Find his mother as soon as possible. We are leaving now."
Little Chengli watched the bus slowly drive away, the windows slowly rolled down one by one, and the passengers inside waved goodbye to him. In an instant, Little Chengli's eyes blurred.
"It's cold outside, come in with me."
Two comrades from the Public Security Bureau took Cheng Li and the little boy into a warm office. Without saying anything, they made two cups of brown sugar water for the two children:
"Tell me where you got separated from your mother."
"Uncle, I was caught by human traffickers and I escaped."
"What!"
The comrades from the Public Security Bureau stood up suddenly. They had received intelligence a long time ago that there was a den of child trafficking here, but they didn't know where they were. They searched several dens but couldn't find anyone.
"Little boy, tell me the situation."
Little Cheng Li took out six cents and handed it to the little boy: "Here you go. Go back quickly."
The comrades from the Public Security Bureau were confused, and the little boy looked at Cheng Li in a daze. It turned out that he was not separated from his mother, but escaped from the hands of human traffickers. He was so brave.
"Uncle, I live in Caojiawan. There won't be any human traffickers there."
When the Public Security Bureau heard about Caojiawan, they frowned. That was the place with the worst security and the most complicated population in their area. Even if they had real evidence, it would be difficult to catch anyone there.
The terrain there is really too complicated. If you are not careful, you will get lost and then be blocked by others. It is too dangerous.
"Give me your name, age, parents' names and work address."
"My name is Cao Jun. My mother is dead. My father, Cao Qun, was captured by you. I live with my grandmother. I don't know her name. People call her Cao Qun's mother."
The comrades from the Public Security Bureau looked at the child with pity, and then sent someone to send him back, of course, to the gate of Caojiawan.
"What's your name? Where do you live? Do you know your parents' names?"
Seeing Cao Jun leave, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau lowered their voices as much as possible, looked at little Cheng Li gently, and patiently asked basic questions.
Cheng Li looked at the police officers wearing big hats and white uniforms, and his heart finally calmed down:
"Uncle, my name is Cheng Li, I live in Beijing, my mother is Cheng Qiao, my father is Li Huan, and by the way, I also have a grandfather named Ye Jun."
Little Cheng Li suddenly remembered that Ye Jun was a very famous doctor in Beijing. If they mentioned Grandpa Ye's name, perhaps they could find their parents faster.
"What? You are Ye Jun's grandson, but why is your last name Cheng?"
When the comrades from the Public Security Bureau heard Ye Jun's name, they immediately stood up. You know, their old leader was tortured by illness and was living a life worse than death. It was Ye Jun's silver needles and pills that saved him.
"I took my mother's last name because my mother is the only daughter in the Cheng family. Ye Jun is my mother's master. My mother's name is Cheng Qiao."
It matches, it matches everything. The Beijing Public Security Bureau issued an emergency notice yesterday, saying that Ye Jun’s grandson is missing and can’t be found anywhere, and asked all major cities nearby to pay close attention.
Their chief took the notice very seriously and had already made arrangements. They also had several target addresses in mind, but the human traffickers were too cunning and had many burrows, so for a moment they really didn't know where to start.
The truth is that they have limited manpower and equipment, and basically rely on walking to travel. Apart from a few bicycles, the only thing they have is a three-wheeled motorcycle owned by the director.
"Child, tell your uncle how you escaped."
This comrade from the Public Security Bureau never expected that the person they were racking their brains to find was actually caught here by human traffickers and managed to escape. You know, these human traffickers are notoriously vicious and cunning.
"Uncle, I was suddenly knocked unconscious on New Year's Eve, and then locked up in a guesthouse. I took advantage of the fact that no one was in the room and escaped. I saw a woman eating sesame cakes, and I thought she should be reliable, so..."
Little Cheng Li recounted his adventures in great detail. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau were so surprised when they heard about his adventures, especially about Caojia Bay. He actually managed to escape from there, thinking that this kid was so clever.
"I'll call your grandfather right away."
The comrade from the Public Security Bureau picked up the phone, but then put it down again. He had to ask the director first, otherwise...
When the director heard that little Cheng Li had been found, he rushed over immediately. As soon as he saw little Cheng Li, he knew it was this child. She was so beautiful, there was no way she could escape.
"Good boy, I already know your situation. You are so smart. You are worthy of being a member of the Ye family. I will call your grandfather right away and tell him the good news."
Cheng Li was very happy. He could finally contact his family. He nervously watched the director pick up the phone and start dialing.
"Clara, Clara..."
When you dial a number, the dial will return. The sound of the return makes Cheng Li extremely excited. Finally, he hears the phone ringing, but no one answers.
"Uncle, are you calling my grandfather's hospital number?"
"Well, why didn't you answer the phone?"
"Uncle, please call this number. This is the number at my grandfather's home."
Xiao Chengli told the director the phone number of the courtyard house, and the director quickly dialed it. The phone rang once and was answered: "Hello, who is this?"
"Are you here at the home of Dr. Ye Jun in Beijing?"
"Yes, Dr. Ye is not at home, you can call him at the hospital."
"May I ask who you are?"
"I... I am the mother-in-law of Dr. Ye's apprentice."
Mother Li was a little embarrassed. This was not her home, but the home of her daughter-in-law's master. If she hadn't come to find little Cheng Li, she would have helped cook and take care of her grandson here, and would have returned to Chuncheng long ago.
"You must be Cheng Li's grandmother, right?"
The director immediately knew the other person's identity. Ye Jun only had one female apprentice in his life. This female apprentice went to the countryside as an educated youth and married a local village chief.
