July 8, Thursday, one o'clock in the morning.

Continuous rain is falling on the surface of the Rujiang River. The street lamps on the riverside are lifting their heads and emitting a faint light. A few unknown flying insects are entangled around each street lamp, buzzing, and the moist water vapor is lazily flowing.

Covering this river surface, it has no edges.

The Rujiang Police Station is like the only old man fishing at night by the river, and it seems particularly lonely.

"What's your name?" He Li asked the woman who called the police while sitting in the interview room of the police station.

The woman who called the police nodded cautiously: "Qu Yanan."

"Age?" He Li listened and made notes on the alarm register.

"Comrade police, you wrote it wrong." Qu Yanan raised his hand and corrected, "It's Nan from Nanmu, not male from male and female."

"Okay, okay..." He Li rubbed his eyes, frowned, and his tone was quite impatient.

Things like children running away from home are no longer uncommon nowadays.

He Li thought that this was probably because the child took the pocket money from home and ran to an Internet cafe to play games all night long. When all the money was spent, he would run home in a mess and wait to be beaten.

"Thirty-four years old." Qu Yanan continued to nod.

"Thirty-four years old?"

He Li raised his head and looked at the woman sitting opposite. Her skin was fair and tender, and there was no trace of aging on her face. She looked like she was only in her twenties.

My eyes are just slightly red and swollen.

"This is my ID card." Noticing that He Li was hesitant, Qu Yanan took out the ID card from his bag and handed it to him, "Comrade police, if you don't believe it, I can recite the ID number to you."

He Li took the ID card and looked at Qu Yanan again. After confirming that it was correct, he asked: "What is your child's name?"

"Li Lianbo, Muzi Li, connected lian, wavy wave. Male, sixteen years old, studying in Youjiang No. 7 Middle School." Qu Yanan was worried that He Li had made a mistake in registering again, so he explained every word of Li Lianbo.

.

Just when He Li raised his head and was about to continue asking, Xu Zhenguo's voice came from behind: "Trouble Ms. Qu to tell us the story of Li Lianbo's disappearance in detail."

He Li turned around and saw that Xu Zhenguo, who had been sleeping like a pig just now, was actually wearing a police shirt with a tie. He was leaning against the door like a man with his hands in his pockets, looking upright.

Xu Zhenguo and He Li were on the same duty team. Functionally speaking, Xu Zhenguo, as a police officer of the Criminal Investigation and Security Group, should be the one to question Qu Yanan, while He Li only played a foil role.

But it was precisely because this "stupid pig" was pretending to be dead just now that He Li reluctantly sat in the interrogator's seat.

He Li was originally full of resentment, but seeing Xu Zhenguo's attire, he understood the purpose of his visit.

He Li heard other colleagues once say that Xu Zhenguo's marital status was "divorced." It must have been that Xu Zhenguo caught a glimpse of such a beautiful woman in the duty room and dressed up specially before arriving belatedly.

He Li joked: "Old Xu, where is the thermos cup you used to make tea?"

"Shut up." Xu Zhenguo corrected, "First, this is called maturity; second, that is called tea ceremony. Do you understand, kid?"

"He is..." Qu Yanan looked at He Li and pointed at Xu Zhenguo carefully.

He Li intelligently introduced to Qu Yanan that Xu Zhenguo was a policeman with great experience in handling cases in their police station and even in Youjiang City. He had repeatedly solved strange cases and made numerous meritorious deeds. The rewards and banners he had received could no longer be let go at the police station.

Fortunately, Xu Zhenguo himself was upright and indifferent to fame and fortune, and returned all the banners, so that the Rujiang Police Station did not become Xu Zhenguo's personal display room.

After listening to He Li's introduction, Xu Zhenguo and Qu Yanan were both very satisfied.

Qu Yanan then started talking. She told Xu Zhenguo and He Li that Li Lianbo was studying in Class 3, Grade 1, No. 7 Middle School in Youjiang City. Five days ago, on Friday, July 2, after school, Li Lianbo went with his family

Lost contact.

"The last time I saw Li Lianbo was last Friday, right?" Xu Zhenguo confirmed again.

Qu Yanan nodded with some confusion.

Xu Zhenguo's right hand rubbed his chin repeatedly: "How can I confirm that I disappeared on Friday?"

"On Friday morning, Li Lianbo went to school from home. I confirmed with his class teacher, Mr. Dong, that the child was in school on Friday."

While Qu Yanan answered, he took out a piece of printing paper from his handbag: "On Monday morning, Teacher Dong found that Li Lianbo did not come to school. She called me and found this paper from Li Lianbo's desk.

Note."

Xu Zhenguo walked up to Qu Yanan and took over the white paper. On the paper were written unformed connected characters:

Yunhao and I don't want to take the exam anymore. We want to go out for two weeks. The world is so big and we both want to see it.

July 2

Li Lianbo

"Is this a copy? I don't think it looks like the original?" Xu Zhenguo said and took the note.

"This was copied by the school when I went to school."

"Why don't you get the original?"

"The school won't let me, saying they want to keep it." Qu Yanan's tone was quite helpless.

"Oh, some units are not very good at business, but they are very good at avoiding risks and transferring responsibilities."

Xu Zhenguo raised his head and asked again: "This person named Yunhao is Li Lianbo's classmate? Do they have a good relationship?"

Qu Yanan's head paused for a while, and he touched his collar twice with his left hand before nodding: "We are classmates, but whether we have a good relationship at school...I'm not sure."

Xu Zhenguo didn't ask any questions, but his eyes were fixed on Qu Yanan's left hand.

"Then what is this Yun Hao's name? Did he also run away from home?" He Li, who was sitting on the chair, saw that Xu Zhenguo didn't speak and asked quickly.

Qu Yanan continued to grab his collar and replied: "His name is Zhang Yunhao, and his father's name is Zhang Lei."

"Zhang Lei?" He Li tilted his head and looked at Xu Zhenguo, "The name is a bit familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Xu Zhenguo did not respond to He Li. He moved his eyes away from Qu Yanan's left hand and continued to ask: "The child named Zhang Yunhao is also missing?"

Qu Yanan nodded affirmatively.

"It was also Friday? They both disappeared together? Did his father go to the police?"

Qu Yanan nodded four or five times again: "Zhang Yunhao's father also went to Wenhua Police Station to call the police today."

"Then has your son done anything unusual recently?"

"Yes, is there any abnormal behavior?" He Li also asked in agreement.

"No, apart from running away from home, everything else is normal."

"What's going on in the note about not wanting to take the exam?"

Qu Yanan shrugged and replied: "Mid-July is the school's final exam, but my child doesn't study well..."

"So do these two children have mobile phones?" Xu Zhenguo's questioning speed became faster and faster.

Qu Yanan shook his head: "Li Lianbo doesn't have a mobile phone, Zhang Yunhao...should have one."

"Should there be?" Xu Zhenguo stared at Qu Yanan closely.

Qu Yanan lowered his head: "My family's conditions are not good. It's abnormal for children nowadays not to have mobile phones."
