Fang Chuyang went home for a while and then hurried to the criminal police team. It's not working time yet, the door is locked, and there are several people standing in front of the city bureau.
"This comrade, are you a policeman? Can you let us in? We want to ask the criminal police team if the child has been found."
It was the parent of the child. The whole country knew what happened yesterday, and of course these parents who are always concerned about the news know better. And the place where the accident happened was the shopping mall where the first child Xiao Yao was lost. Thinking about it, they had gone to the police station in the area yesterday to ask, but the police station could only say that the case had been handed over to the city bureau, so the parents came here.
"No." Fang Chuyang replied indifferently, went around the small door on the side, swiped his card directly in, and closed the door with a bang.
"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have, obviously you can go in!" Several people shouted.
Fang Chuyang ignored it, went straight to the police office, and patted Chen Zhaohui, who was eating biscuits: "Chen Xiaohei, go and explain to those parents."
"Oh." The honest little Chen immediately put down the biscuits and ran out.
"Little comrade, did the trafficker catch him?"
"Any news about our children?"
"Where did he hide the child?"
With the mentality of "in case it is a criminal group", in addition to the parents who lost their children in the two shopping malls, there are also parents who lost their children in other places to ask.
All kinds of questions confused Xiao Chen: "Well, be quiet and listen to me."
"How quiet, we are dying of anxiety." A mother cried.
"Shh, listen to what the police have to say first, don't know the news if you make a fuss." It was an elderly sensible man who kept everyone quiet.
"The person in the mall yesterday has been arrested. The case is under investigation, and we cannot disclose any information at the moment." Chen Zhaohui answered seriously according to the usual routine of captains dealing with the media and the families of victims.
"Why can't you reveal it, tell me where the child is hidden, let's find it!" The parents quarreled again.
"Little comrade, I'm the mother of Xiao Yao, the child who was lost in Wanming shopping mall. You asked me to meet that trafficker, and I just wanted to know where he sold my daughter?" Yaoyao's mother held on to the iron railing and spoke. with trembling.
"Sorry." Chen Zhaohui couldn't handle it, but he still tried to explain to them.
The pony looked uncomfortable in the room: "Hey, it sounds really heartbreaking."
"There's nothing you can do if you're worried. You can't tell them the progress of the case just because you're pitiful. Those parents will definitely say it out, and maybe it will reach the ears of the traffickers." Xiao Zhang sighed.
"That's right, and we can't tell who are the victim's family members and who are the criminals pretending to be." Captain Fan stood at the door and glanced at the group of noisy parents with experienced eyes.
After finally dismissing the parents, Chen Zhaohui came back in dismay, and the biscuits were cold. Picking it up and preparing to continue eating, Fang Chuyang threw a paper bag over, and Xiao Chen caught it subconsciously.
Seeing Xiao Chen eating deliciously, Xiao Ma was very jealous: "The deputy team is too partial, so let Xiao Chen eat it alone."
"If you go to deal with those parents, I'll give you food." Fang Chuyang glanced at him.
"Ahaha, Xiao Chen worked hard, it's time to eat well." Xiao Ma immediately changed his tune.
After laughing and talking, Fang Chuyang discussed with Team Fan and began to assign tasks. At present, there is not much information available for Li Chao's confession, and it is impossible to directly find the online trafficking transaction. It needs to be spread out for investigation.
"Xiao Ma and Xiao Chen went to Jinxin Trade City to find out all the dolls on the day of the incident." Jinxin Trade City is another shopping mall where children have been lost. The management there is not as good as Wanming's, it is more chaotic, and there is no The monitoring can be checked, you can only ask one by one.
"Yes!"
"Little Zhang Chaxia's two phone calls are specific to where they belong. I'll go to inquire when I find out. I'll be with you." Fang Chuyang is young and energetic. He is usually the one who takes the team members out of the field, and Captain Fan is in charge of the job. .
"Okay." Xiao Zhang had already found out the specific registered addresses of the two landlines last night, and immediately took them out to Fang Chuyang to see.
"I'm going to invite my colleagues who simulate portraits to come and let Li Chao put together a picture of Sister Xia." Captain Fan assigned himself a task.
Fang Chuyang looked at the address given by Xiao Zhang and found the approximate location on the map. Two landlines, both near a large urban village in the south of the city. The two set off immediately and drove to this place called "Zhou Zhai".
In recent years, the city has developed rapidly, and most urban villages have disappeared like Caizhuang. Only Nancheng, which was developed relatively late, and several urban villages have not been demolished. Zhouzhai is the largest of them, and it is home to tens of thousands of wage earners who come to big cities to seek a living.
When the car reaches the entrance of the village, it cannot enter. The road inside is narrow and can accommodate tricycles at most. Fang Chuyang got out of the car and walked in with Xiao Zhang. They were wearing plain clothes and did not attract the attention of the people inside.
In the morning, Zhouzhai was already very lively. There were a lot of people living here, which formed a corresponding ecological circle. The criss-cross alleys are full of various small shops.
"I heard that this place is quite famous in other places." Xiao Zhang chatted with a smile.
"Well, the night market in Zhouzhai is very famous. Zhai Chen dragged me to eat snacks before." Fang Chuyang is not unfamiliar with this place. After all, there is a greedy and blind guy like Zhai Chen. All have to go with him.
"The deputy team has a really good relationship with Brother Chen, and I really want to have a brother." Xiao Zhang sighed and found the location of the first phone, which was an old-fashioned public phone hanging on the wall.
The two circled around the house address provided by the phone company before they found it on the west wall. Sandwiched between two vegetable stalls, there is a simple roof above to keep out the rain, and the metal buttons are rusted.
"Then let Zhai Chen be your brother, and make sure you want to call him three times a day." Fang Chuyang picked up the receiver and tried it. The phone can be used normally, using the kind of PIN phone card that ordinary people think has been eliminated. Just buy a card anonymously, enter the card number and password when you make a call, and you can use it. No way to find users.
"Ah!" Zhai Chen sneezed in the ward.
Gao Yusheng did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital, and told him to stay in the ward today and not go anywhere, and Zhai Chen could only play games on the sofa.
"Uncle, do you have a cold?" Zhai Mengmeng, who was hospitalized with her uncle, asked with concern.
"No, there must be some bastard who spoke ill of me." Zhai Chen rubbed his nose with one finger, and this bastard was probably Fang Chuyang.
Fang Chuyang, who had just found the second phone, sneezed suddenly.
"In the afternoon of August 13th, is there a woman in her thirties or forties calling?" Xiao Zhang was asking the owner of the phone, the owner of the small shop.
The phone was sitting on the glass counter of the commissary and cost fifty cents a minute.
"There are a lot of people calling here every day, I don't remember." The boss is a shirtless middle-aged man, staring at the small TV on the inside wall and watching TV shows.
Fang Chuyang bought a pack of snow beans, and when paying the money, he took a look at the police officer's certificate: "This matter involves a major criminal case, if you don't know who made the call, you will also be included in the investigation. scope."
The boss didn't understand what the "investigation scope" was, and thought he would also become a criminal suspect, so he hurriedly turned off the TV. At this time, a young man happened to come in to make a phone call. He threw a fifty-cent steel peg on the counter, picked it up and called, and hung up after a few words.
From beginning to end, there was no communication with the boss. Miraculously, the young man also had a smartphone in his hand.
"Comrade police, you saw it too, how can I remember this." The boss frowned.
"He has a mobile phone, why should he use yours?" Xiao Zhang was very curious.
"Most of the people living in this village are wage earners who have little money. The rented house has a wireless network, so they use it to access the Internet, and they are reluctant to pay for the phone bill. They don't even have a phone card in their mobile phones, so they use this to make calls to their homes. " said the boss.
There are no less than 20 people who call every day, most of them have no communication, and they just threw the money and left. Bosses who are addicted to TV series sometimes don't pay attention to who is calling. In the entire Zhouzhai, there are eight such small shops with telephones.
Fang Chuyang's side is in a dilemma again, and Zhai Chen's side is not easy.
A large number of reporters surrounded the entrance of Wanhe Hospital, all of whom wanted to interview Zhai Chen, a hero who became popular all over the country overnight. Thanks to Gao Yusheng's thoughtfulness, he was allowed to live in this private hospital with first-class security measures. If this were a public hospital, the wards would be crowded in minutes.
Zhai Chen and Mengmeng both lie at the window to see the situation outside: "Your uncle, I have also become a star."
"Then I'm the star's nephew." Mengmeng was very supportive.
"Ding ding ding-" There was a soft sound of music on the intercom phone at the bedside, Zhai Chen picked it up, it was the call from the nurse at the front desk.
"There is a lady surnamed Xiao who wants to see the patient, and she is the only one." The nurse asked softly, without revealing whether it was Zhai Chen himself or the escort who answered the phone.
"I'm Yaoyao's mother, let me meet Mr. Zhai." Ms. Xiao over there volunteered.
"Let her come in alone." Zhai Chen sighed. Yaoyao's mother sent him several text messages last night, but Gao Yusheng wouldn't let him reply. But looking at her anxious look, she couldn't bear it.
Yaoyao's mother pushed open the door, and saw Zhai Chen lying on the hospital bed weakly, with an oxygen tube stuck in his nose, and the surrounding instruments ticking, looking like he was about to hang up.
"Mr. Zhai, how did you become like this?" Yaoyao's mother burst into tears when she saw his appearance.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhai Mengmeng said hello as she sat on the other bed.
"Mengmeng is here too." Yaoyao's mother wiped her tears, put down the fruits and snacks she brought, and broke a banana and handed it to Mengmeng to eat.
"Mother Yaoyao." Zhai Chen greeted weakly.
"Hey, it's me," Yaoyao's mother sat on the stool beside the bed, "Why don't you have someone to escort me?"
"Just went out," Zhai Chen replied blindly, "what happened again?"
"No, no," originally wanted to ask Zhai Chen if he knew something, but seeing him hurt like this, Yaoyao's mother was too embarrassed to say more, "I came to see you. Thank you Mr. Zhai, really Thank you, you only went to that mall to find Yaoyao?"
Zhai Chen smiled and said nothing.
Yaoyao's mother burst into tears, thanked Zhai Chen again, and blamed herself for not paying attention to the bear at the time: "Yaoyao was in the bear at the time, how desperate and frightened to listen to her mother talking outside."
Looking at the photos taken by the people at the scene, the bear was dark and hot inside. Such a delicate child was crammed into a cramped dark space, and her mother was outside, but she could not hear her voice. Just thinking about it makes me shudder, let alone being carried away in a bear.
Last night, Yaoyao's mother didn't close her eyes all night. When she closed her eyes, it was the picture of the bear. She was suffocated and breathless.
Zhai Chen wanted to comfort the sad mother. After thinking for a long time, he said, "The trafficker should have something like anesthesia. The child will faint soon after entering."
"… "
He wanted to say that fainting would not be so scary, but Yaoyao's mother's face was even more ugly, and she obviously didn't get any comfort.
Zhai Mengmeng looked at her uncle who would not please girls at all, and suddenly felt that she had a long way to go to find her aunt.
