Why did it take five days to call the police? He Li was also full of doubts about this issue.

If the child runs away from home, the child's parents will often first contact the child's classmates and teachers, or search for the child in places where he often hangs out.

If there is no result on the day, the parents' first choice must be to seek help from the police.

But if you call the police, it usually takes no more than two days at the latest. But why did Qu Yanan and the man named Zhang Lei choose to call the police after five days?

Qu Yanan's hands were entangled, and she sighed and replied: "Li Lianbo and Zhang Yunhao have always had poor academic performance in school. Although Li Lianbo is very obedient, I learned from Lao Zhang that Zhang Yunhao is a very independent child.

He has run away from home more than once or twice. Moreover, Lao Zhang said that Zhang Yunhao has a credit card with an overdraft of 50,000 yuan, which is enough for the two of them to spend half a month..."

"If they have money, why don't you look for it? Aren't you afraid of something happening?" Xu Zhenguo asked.

"It's called "Better to break than to bend," and it's a strategy." He Li suddenly explained, "The more you look for it, the less they want to go back; if you don't look for it, they will find it boring to play for a few days, and then come back on their own. These two ran away from home.

My children are about the same age as me, and I quite understand them."

Xu Zhenguo didn't expect that this young man with a bigger butt would actually side with the person who reported the crime, so he glared and shouted: "You don't understand! Did I ask her or you?"

He Li's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he knew he was in the wrong, Xu Zhenguo's lecturing way of speaking made him quite uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Qu Yanan hurriedly persuaded: "What Lao Zhang means is similar to Officer He. They are not children, and the two men will not suffer any loss no matter what they do outside, right?"

Xu Zhenguo also realized that his attitude just now was a bit tough. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since this is Zhang Lei's intention, then you insist not to call the police. Why do you want to come to us again today?"

Qu Yanan replied worriedly: "Because Zhang Yunhao's credit card has not been used for a penny in the past five days, and they don't have much cash on hand, that's why we chose to call the police today."

Xu Zhenguo put his hands back into his trouser pockets: "Well, it's not too early now. Let Officer He Li make a record for you. After finishing it, you can go home and rest. But we are not trying to push the envelope and wait until dawn.

We will try our best to help you find it.”

He Li glanced at Xu Zhenguo: "I'm taking notes, what are you doing?"

"I will contact the command center to send notifications to other counties, district bureaus and police stations!" Xu Zhenguo replied impatiently.

If the caller hadn't been present, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to the young boy in front of him.

As soon as Xu Zhenguo walked out of the interrogation room, he came back and asked Qu Yanan: "By the way, do you have any photos of the two of them?"

Qu Yanan nodded.

"Then let's add WeChat. You send me the photos of the two children, and I will contact the city bureau to send you a missing person notice in the circle of friends."

He Li thought to himself that this old fox's tail was finally exposed.

"It's not good." Qu Yanan hesitated, "They are both minors after all. If I post the photo to Moments and forward it, I'm afraid that people will make irresponsible remarks in the future, which will have an impact on the child's growth."

Xu Zhenguo echoed regretfully: "That's right."

"However," Qu Yanan added, "is it okay to describe their physical features and the way they were dressed on the day they left home, and then post it to WeChat Moments?"

Xu Zhenguo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, it's a very good suggestion. Then please edit it, Ms. Qu, and send it to me via WeChat."

He Li watched with cold eyes and said nothing.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when he finished writing the transcript. Qu Yanan thanked him at the door of the police station and slowly turned around and left.

Watching the rolling shutter door slowly lowering, Xu Zhenguo finally stretched out his waist. He asked He Li to close the door. He returned to the duty room but lay on the bed without saying a word.

After returning to the duty room, He Li repeatedly talked about the matters recorded in the transcript. If he had any doubts, he asked Xu Zhenguo for his opinion, but Xu Zhenguo just rolled his eyes and did not answer any questions.

"Old Xu, how do you plan to handle this matter?" He Li asked after finishing the transcript.

Xu Zhenguo didn't even look at He Li: "Why are you asking me? As a peer, don't you know them best? Just leave it all to you."

He Li turned around and teased: "Hey, Old Xu, how old are you this year? Why are you still so petty?"

Xu Zhenguo glanced sideways at He Li: "I'm called knowing people and making good use of them."

When He Li heard that Xu Zhenguo really had a bad temper, he said, "I shouldn't talk too much today, and I apologize to you. But you don't have to go against me everywhere, and you have to refute me every word, right?"

"Okay, I don't share your knowledge, so let's talk about it. Anyway, I think this matter... is a bit strange." Xu Zhenguo turned to He Li and explained, "Look, even if Qu Yanan had good reasons to leave the child,

I will come back five days later to report the crime, but why didn’t I come during the day and had to wait until midnight?”

"Could it be that she thought about it for a long time at home, tossed and turned all night long, and finally decided to go to the police station to report the crime? Her eyes are so swollen, it's obvious that she cried, right?" He Li analyzed.

Xu Zhenguo took out a cigarette and threw it on He Li's stomach: "Stop being a policeman."

"Why?" He Li asked puzzled.

"You can already see through people's minds, and you still act like a policeman. Hurry up and tell people's fortunes. In a few years, you will be the richest man in our city."

"It's time, let's talk about some serious business!"

Xu Zhenguo took out another cigarette and fiddled with it in his hand: "Anyway, my intuition tells me that this woman is not here to report the crime, she is just here to inform us that the child is missing."

"What's the difference between what you said?" He Li scratched his head.

"If a child goes missing, parents will usually be very anxious. It is an emotion that cannot be expressed in words. This emotion has been integrated into the genes of motherhood. Some mothers will cry so hard at the police station because their children are missing.

I even fainted. But look at this woman, she is very calm."

He Li sat on the bed blankly: "Qu Yanan's eyes are a little red and swollen. Did you cry at home?"

Xu Zhenguo put down the cigarette in his hand: "Calling the police should not be like this. After she came, she had enough patience to talk to us. She didn't ask too many questions about how we found the child, and she was able to make reasonable suggestions for me.

Corrections, these are not the actions a normal mother who has lost her child should have. He made me feel like..."

"Is she abnormal? Is she mentally ill?" He Li scratched his head again.

"No, I think many of her actions are unreasonable, but they don't seem to be completely beyond common understanding."

"Also, you see it was raining heavily this night, but there was not a trace of mud on her trouser legs, which shows that she paid great attention to her pace and pace during the walk, and obviously lacked a sense of urgency. In addition, when she was talking

Her movements are also worth pondering. During the questioning process, she repeatedly made the same movements with her hands, which shows that her heart is very delicate. What she said was not blurted out, but after repeated reflection. This is not what should be done when losing a child.

Her reaction gave me the most intuitive feeling that this woman is very rational, but when faced with the issue of missing children, she is too calm and objective."

"Oh! So you are Xuermos!" He Li teased.

"Okay, okay, I'm just messing around."

"Then does this matter count as a case?" He Li asked.

Xu Zhenguo covered himself with a blanket and replied: "Go to sleep first and talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Thinking about it now is in vain."

"Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted." He Li picked up the cigarette on his belly and played with it.

Seeing that He Li had no intention of sleeping, Xu Zhenguo became a little impatient: "Hey, hey, I'm going to bed first! Remember to return the cigarette in your hand to me tomorrow morning."
