In the Public Security Bureau, Wang Jing was discussing Shi Ke's case with his colleague Zhang Min. He took the information in his hand and looked over it with frowning eyes. There was very little information, only two thin pages with photos provided by Wang Ying posted on them.

.

The photo is one inch in size and is in black and white. This photo was specially taken for the purpose of applying for medical certificates for family members. Because it is a ID photo, it is a bit dull. The little girl in the photo looks like three or four years old, with short hair that reaches her ears and thin bangs.

Between the eyebrows, the eyes became increasingly dark and round, and the small mouth was slightly opened with a faint smile, revealing a row of small pearl-like baby teeth.

"This child is really good-looking." Wang Jing handed the file to Zhang Min next to him: "Xiao Zhang, do you think he was abducted by a trafficker?"

Zhang Min took the information and looked at it carefully: "It's hard to say, but there has never been a case of human traffickers abducting children here. The folk customs in our place are relatively simple, and most of the people are honest. Of course, there are also criminals."

Zhang Min looked at the information, and the content was clear at a glance. It simply stated when the child was found missing. He interviewed several witnesses who participated in the search for the child, but they could not explain the reason. There was very little information that could be used for reference.

, the most useful thing was that she found the child's broken basket under the wild apricot tree. She frowned: "The content is too little, and I don't know what the results of Captain Li's investigation will be."

While they were talking, Shi Dayong and Li Weiguo pushed in the door. Wang Jing looked up and recognized each other, and stood up quickly: "What? We found the child!"

Li Weiguo shook his head: "No." Then he pointed at Shi Dayong: "This is the child's father. He just came back from a business trip. Master Shi, this is Captain Wang."

Shi Dayong took a few steps and held Wang Jing's right hand with both hands: "Comrade Captain, my name is Shi Dayong. You have been troubled by the child."

Wang Jing waved his hand: "It's nothing to worry about. This is your job. The most important thing is that the child can be found home safely. There were too few clues before. Do you have any new progress now?"

Seeing what Wang Jing said, Shi Dayong understood that Shi Ke was still not found, his eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and he shook his head in disappointment: "No, everything is still the same as before, and there is no new content in what the child's mother and the neighbors said."

Wang Jing paused and comforted: "Don't worry, you will definitely find it. The child may have gone to play somewhere and lost his way. My colleagues are searching in all aspects."

"I hope so." Shi Dayong thought silently in his heart: God bless me, I hope I just lost my way.

"Come, sit down and say, Xiao Zhang, please help me pour two glasses of water." Wang Jing pulled up two chairs and invited the two of them to sit down.

"No need to pour it, I'm not even thirsty." Shi Dayong was so anxious that he couldn't think of drinking water. He took out Shi Ke's photo from his pocket and handed it to Wang Jing: "This is the photo of my daughter."

This photo is different from the previous ID photo. It is a three-inch full-body photo. This photo is more lively and agile, with the same short hair, wearing a green military uniform, holding a red tassel gun in his hand, pursed his mouth, and looked visually.

ahead.

Speaking of this photo, it really has some origins. Once Shi Dayong took his wife and children to watch the movie "Sparkling Red Star". As soon as Pan Dongzi appeared on the stage, his son Shi Dayong suddenly became a fan of Pan Dongzi. He

Thinking how great it would be for Pan Dongzi to be my son, and seeing that my daughter also has big eyes, she said to Wang Ying, "Look, our Keke looks so much like Pan Dongzi."

Wang Ying curled her lips after hearing this: "It doesn't look like her at all, Pan Dongzi has a round face, and your daughter is as skinny as a monkey."

Shi Dayong was dissatisfied and said: "Look again, our daughter's eyes are the same as Pan Dongzi's."

Wang Ying: "Yes, they both have big eyes. Your daughter's eyes are much prettier than Pan Dongzi's."

The two argued for a long time, but Shi Dayong couldn't compete with Wang Ying. Finally, Shi Dayong said that my daughter must look like Pan Dongzi when she puts on a military uniform. For this reason, Shi Dayong also bought a piece of military green cloth and asked Wang Ying to give it to Shi Dayong.

It can be made into clothes. This portrait was taken on Shi Ke's fourth birthday. Even the pose for the photo was specially made by Shi Dayong according to Pan Dongzi's pose.

Wang Jing took the photo and handed the file to Shi Dayong: "Comrade, see if there is anything else that needs to be added?"

Shi Dayong carefully read the file over and over again, and finally fixed his eyes on Shi Ke's photo.

Shi Dayong was afraid. All kinds of bad thoughts flashed through his mind, and each one made him miserable. His child was so cute. Every time he came home from a business trip, when Ke Ke saw him from afar, he looked like a pony.

He ran over with a "da da da" sound, hugged his legs happily, raised his little face and shouted "Daddy, daddy!" The sound was like a ripe crisp pear, juicy and sweet.

What should he do if Coco can't be found again? What should he do?

Shi Dayong's eyes were moist. A man in his thirties was embarrassed to shed tears in front of outsiders. He lowered his head, endured it again and again, and finally held back his tears.

He wanted a son, but that didn't mean he didn't like a daughter. When Shi Ke was born, he was participating in aiding Zambia to build the railway from Tanzania to Zambia. He had been there for three years. Wang Ying was only two months pregnant when he left. Later, he received a letter from his hometown.

He was also very happy when he said that he had given birth to a girl. They said that the big one was rare and the small one was delicate. Shi was his first child, so he couldn't be more rare. How could he dislike it because it was a girl? In the past three years, nothing happened.

I took out the photos of Wang Ying and the child, and imagined in my mind: It’s time for the child to grow teeth, can he crawl? Can he walk? It’s time for the child to call daddy.

Finally, the project was over, and the desire to return home was like an arrow leaving the string. He wished he could reach home in one step and see his baby. On the first day back home, he looked at the soft and waxy little one, who smelled like milk and was beautiful.

, the soft heart will melt away, and I won’t let go when I hold her in my arms.

Shi Dayong raised his head. Although he had held back his tears, his eyes were still red. Wang Jing could tell at a glance that they were both fathers. He could understand Shi Dayong's mood. No one could bear this matter.

"Don't be too anxious. We will do our best to find the child. We will notify you as soon as we have the result." Wang Jingyan pushed the tea cup to Shi Dayong's hand with sympathy: "Drink first.

saliva."

Not in a hurry? Can you not be in a hurry? Shi Dayong said to himself: No one will feel the pain if the coals of fire fall on them. I am so anxious that my eyebrows are burning.

Although he said this in his heart, Shi Dayong also understood that Captain Wang said this to ease his heart.

After Shi Dayong learned about the progress of the case, he couldn't sit still anymore. He couldn't do it and just wait for the result. It would be burning on fire. He couldn't stand it. He desperately wanted to do something.

Seeing that Captain Wang already had a photo of Ke Ke, Shi Dayong took back a full-length photo of Shi Ke and pulled Li Weiguo to say goodbye.

People were coming and going on the bustling street. Shi Dayong looked at the pedestrians while walking, hoping to see familiar figures. Halfway through, Shi Dayong jumped off his bicycle and said to Li Weiguo: "Xiao Li, you go back first, and I'll go back."

looking around."

Li Weiguo was puzzled, stopped the car, and looked at him doubtfully.

Shi Dayong grinned and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I won't worry if you don't look for it yourself."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, I can do it myself. You go back first and help tell Sister-in-law Zhang that when the child's mother wakes up, ask her to help cook some food for Coco's mother." After Shi Dayong finished speaking, he waved to Li Weiguo and took out Shi Ke's photo.

Walk towards the roadside.

There was a small market on the roadside. There were not many people but there was an endless stream of people. Shi Dayong first asked an old lady who was selling eggs: "Auntie, have you seen the little girl in the photo? She is so tall and has a prick on her head."

Two little ones."

The aunt took the photo and looked at it with squinted eyes: "I haven't seen it before, what's wrong?"

"Oh." Shi Dayong didn't answer, but took the photo and asked the next one.

Li Weiguo stood on the side of the road and watched for a while, and saw Shi Dayong asking everyone he met. After a while, sweat began to flow down Shi Dayong's anxious face.

"Alas!" Li Weiguo sighed and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard to find Sister-in-law Zhang.

Time slipped away unknowingly, and dusk came unexpectedly. The sun withdrew its blazing and dazzling light, and a large golden disk leaned against the thick layers of clouds.

Shi Dayong's voice has long been hoarse, and his lips have lost their moisture and become dry and flaky. He left early in the morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. He originally thought he would have a meal when he got home at noon, but he didn't expect such a big change at home and he didn't eat.

After a while, I felt that my eyes were going dark and I felt light-headed and light-headed.

He hurriedly found a stone on the side of the road and sat down, leaning against a big poplar tree, closing his eyes and concentrating. He leaned less, felt more comfortable, opened his eyes, and watched the people coming and going unwillingly.

.He knew in his heart that searching for a solution like this was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, and the hope was slim. But what could he do if he didn't search like this? He couldn't wait.

The light was getting darker and darker. He raised his right hand, using the weak light, he tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at the small appearance of Shi Ke in the photo. He had never believed in Buddhism and prayed devoutly in his heart: Please bless the Buddha, please

Gods and gods from all walks of life wish my child to return home safely. As long as my child is safe, I can do whatever the Buddha wants me to do.

It was finally dark. A tired Shi Dayong returned home, scooped out a ladle of water, drank it in one gulp, and raised his head to meet Wang Ying's expectant eyes.

Shi Dayong flinched under Wang Ying's gaze. He lowered his eyes and looked away. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you up? Are you feeling better?"

"Dayong, what's going on? What do the comrades from the Public Security Bureau say?" Wang Ying took two steps forward, grabbed Shi Dayong's sleeves, and looked up at Shi Dayong's face.

"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau are looking for us. Captain Wang said that he will notify us as soon as there is a letter." Shi Dayong put his arms around Wang Ying's shoulders and sent her to the bed: "Don't be impatient, take care of your body, An'an

I'm still waiting for you to take care of me, but you haven't noticed that An An has lost weight."

"I'm not impatient! I'm her mother. How can I not be impatient if my child is gone!" Wang Ying suddenly cried: "That's the flesh that fell off my body. What you said is easy. Don't be impatient. If the child is

How should I live if there are any shortcomings?" At this point, Wang Ying suddenly raised her right hand and slapped her mouth a few times: "Bah, bah, bah, the bad ones don't work, the good ones work." She muttered.

After reciting it three times, I felt that all the unlucky words I had just blurted out had been wiped out, and I felt a little relieved.

Facing the semi-crazy Wang Ying, Shi Dayong didn't know what to do. He just hugged Wang Ying tightly in his arms: "It will be okay. It will be okay. The fortune tellers have said it. Our family will be safe."

If you have a lucky face, you will definitely turn danger into safety. Don’t worry, it will definitely, definitely..."

The tears finally couldn't be held back anymore and burst out of his eyes. He put his head on Wang Ying's shoulder and held back the sobs that were about to burst out of his mouth. Only the tears fell silently. In a moment, Wang Ying's shoulders were already wet.
Chapter completed!
