"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."
In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncl...
Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Gu Changzong called: "...
Three children were missing from the government kindergarten at once, one of whom was Xu Zhixiao, who was a special focus. The case was referred to the Special Case Handling Section.
What Lao Wei meant was that no matter which child it was, all of them had to be rescued.
The clue was found. According to the confession of Xu Zhixiao's mother, after checking with the old lady who spoke to her, there were no matching residents nearby. She must have come to scout the area and was the most likely suspect.
Jiang Hongguo saw the conversation between the old woman and the children on the ruby left at the scene. She felt that Chen Zhiyu seemed to be using the ruby to lure the greedy human traffickers. What was his purpose? To change his identity and abandon his biological mother who had a criminal record?
Now we need to share information. After communicating with Director Wei, we decided to let Guan Cheng join in. He is in charge of the missing children's cases and he cannot be ignorant of the situation.
Before the conference call, Jiang Hongguo and Guan Cheng said, "Just listen in first. No matter how unbelievable it is, don't interrupt by asking questions."
Guan Cheng thought, what did Jiang Hongguo use the ruby to predict?
The matter of divination was a tacit one. After an investigation at the ancestral hall in Aunt Yao's hometown, Hong Guo knew that Director Wei already knew everything.
In the small conference room, the phone was on speakerphone, and Hongguo told the details and his own guesses.
"During the kindergarten's lunch break, Chen Zhiyu didn't sleep. She took Xiangxiang, who also didn't sleep, to play marbles by the wall. It has been confirmed that the red and blue marbles were taken by Xiaoyu from Wen Qing's jewelry box. She never took them before, but when her mother was detained and she encountered human traffickers scouting the area, she took them. The teacher emphasized almost every day that we shouldn't talk to strangers, but Xiaoyu took the initiative to say that there was a room full of such gems in her hometown. Her purpose was too clear. It seemed that she wanted human traffickers to take her away."
Guan Cheng was horrified when he heard this. How could such a scheming child come from such a young age?
He looked at Jiang Hongguo and Yu Shan, both of whom had nonchalant expressions, as if they had gotten used to it. He had been told in advance that he could just listen but not interrupt to ask questions, so he held back.
But Lao Wei on the other end of the phone asked him: "Guancheng, what Hongguo said is true. This is the truth. What do you think?"
Guan Cheng is in charge of special cases and has a certain level of acceptance. He analyzed rationally: "Unless Chen Zhiyu is no longer a child, I don't believe a four-year-old can plan such a thorough plan."
If little Chen Zhiyu is not Chen Zhiyu, then the question would be very mysterious. Even Guan Cheng, who is unaware of the inside story, has such an intuition, which is almost certain to be correct.
Jiang Hongguo, Lao Wei, Gu Changzong and Yu Shan also felt that something had entered the child's body.
The most important issue now is to find it first.
Hong Guo said: "If our speculation is correct, Chen Zhiyu can find an opportunity to get rid of the traffickers on the way, and she doesn't need to bring the traffickers back to Huizhou City."
"We are indeed afraid of this, but we still have to arrange to stake out in advance. The human traffickers are carrying three children and cannot walk fast. Guan Cheng, you and Yu Shan should take people to stake out in advance and set off now." Lao Wei made arrangements directly.
Time is running out. After hanging up the phone, Guan Cheng didn't ask any extra questions. He got in the car with Yu Shan and took turns resting on the road. They should be able to arrive before the traffickers. With the local police arranged, they would never let the traffickers get away as long as they arrived.
Hongguo came out of the Public Security Bureau and Xu Zhixiao's mother was still waiting at the door. She wanted to sneak around but was seen.
"Dian Dian's mother." Xu Zhixiao's mother ran over and grabbed him, repeating herself many times, "It's all my fault. Why did I have to go back to the kindergarten? If I hadn't gone, Zhixiao wouldn't have been lost. It's all my fault."
Jiang Hongguo looked around and didn't see her husband, so she asked the police: "Is there no one coming to her house?"
Xu Zhixiao's mother hurriedly said, "Everyone in the family has gone to look for him, leaving me here to wait for news. Zhixiao's father didn't blame me, it was me who couldn't stand it."
Alas, it was such a coincidence. Hongguo knew that Xu Zhixiao was implicated this time.
It should be possible to find it. Changzong has a way, and so does Diandian. But now is not the time to use their methods.
Hongguo comforted him confidently, saying, "Zhixiao is a lucky child, he will definitely come back."
Xu Zhixiao's mother was very sad: "If I can't find him, I really can't live. As long as Zhixiao can come back, I will definitely change my bad habits of vanity and comparison."
…
After waiting for two or three days, the human traffickers were caught in Huizhou City. However, of the three children who were abducted, only Xu Zhixiao and Xiangxiang were rescued, while Chen Zhiyu's whereabouts were unknown.
After interrogation, the human trafficker confessed that he only entered the ancestral hall and failed to enter the basement. There was no key to the door of the mechanism, and it could not be opened unless it was blown up. Otherwise, such an important place would not have remained safe and sound for hundreds of years.
Jiang Hongguo touched the traffickers' gold jewelry and watches and held another conference call.
"I saw it. The human traffickers were greedy and left the gang to look for gems. Along the way, an old woman, a man dressed as a woman, and three children were in the car. It was hard not to attract attention, but Chen Zhiyu always protected them from suspicion at the right time, and comforted Xiangxiang and Zhixiao not to make a noise, so they arrived at their destination safely."
Now it is certain that Chen Zhiyu's situation is the same as Yao Xiangling's, except that this time the thing completely controlled the child, and with the help of human traffickers, the child became a missing child.
The details Jiang Hongguo mentioned were completely consistent with Guan Cheng's perspective when he interrogated the human traffickers.
After being caught, the trafficker said belatedly: "That child named Chen Zhiyu does have some problems. He is too well-behaved in front of strangers."
…
Xiangxiang and Xu Zhixiao were found, and the parents of both families were recovered. They excitedly knelt down to thank the police who rescued them. Hongguo watched for a while, and since there was nothing for her to do, she went home first. Unexpectedly, Wen Qing was waiting at the door.
Wen Qing went to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the news, but they only said that little Chen Zhiyu was still missing and asked her to go back and wait.
She couldn't wait any longer and felt restless. After thinking it over, she ran to Jiang Hongguo to ask.
"How can I explain to Chen Qingzhi that Xiaoyu has not been found? My brother was planning to divorce her, but now Xiaoyu is gone. My brother and I owe her our whole lives."
Jiang Hongguo had no way of telling her the inside story, so she could only say, "It's just that we can't find her yet, and we're still investigating. The child was abducted from the kindergarten, and the kindergarten should bear most of the responsibility. Don't feel too guilty."
Wen Qing had no sense of guilt and would never waste time on internal issues. She just felt that this incident was too troublesome.
"If there is any fault, it's Chen Qingzhi's fault. Who told her to make such a fuss that she ended up in jail and made me bear such a heavy crime? When she gets out, she'll cause trouble for me and my brother, and she'll probably cause trouble for you too."
Jiang Hongguo was puzzled. What did it have to do with her? She even helped to find it.
"Why are you bothering me?"
"You donated money to prevent her child from transferring to the kindergarten at the mine." Wen Qing affirmed: "Wait until she comes out and take a look. I will never be wrong about her."
Hongguo thought about it and realized that this was possible. Chen Qingzhi had been in prison, and when she came out her child was missing. Even the grass on the roadside would be stepped on by her, let alone her.
Hongguo was not afraid of her, but the thought of Chen Qingzhi blocking the door and scolding her was still a bit annoying.
The time for Chen Qingzhi to be released is getting closer and closer. It is said that he has become mentally extreme in the detention center and wants to settle accounts with the kindergarten, the police who handled the case, and Wen Qing who was looking after the child.
Although Jiang Hongguo was not mentioned, Hongguo felt that this was a problem. She would definitely put herself last in the list.
…
Chen Qingzhi was released before the summer vacation. As expected, she made such a fuss that the kindergarten could not attend classes normally. Because the summer vacation was about to start, the kindergarten simply closed the school a few days in advance.
Afterwards, Chen Qingzhi went to Xiangxiang's house and Xu Zhixiao's house and questioned them, "Three children were lost together. Why did your two families' children come back, but my Xiaoyu didn't come back? Did you bribe the police and deliberately not save Xiaoyu?"
"Xiaoyu's mother, we understand your feelings, but we can't slander you. We have no grudges against you, why would you do that? Besides, it's the police investigating a case, not something else, don't talk nonsense."
Wen Qing hid herself and didn't dare to live in her brother's house. She was afraid that Chen Qingzhi would go to extremes, so she kindly came to inform Jiang Hongguo.
"I think Chen Qingzhi will come after you next. I believe she can't win an argument with you. But if she uses the money from my brother to find someone to harm Diandian and even implicate Diandian's kindergarten classmates, it will be very troublesome."
Hongguo understood what she meant. No one can guard against thieves for a thousand years. Diandian has the ability to protect himself, but the other kids in his kindergarten don’t.
If little Xu Zhixiao had another accident, his mother would probably be devastated.
Jiang Hong did have a headache.
The little guy noticed that his mother was worried again these days. His father had not been back for several months. What could he say to him? But he couldn't do it because his big fish was very powerful.
The little one asked, "Mom, are you afraid that Xiaoyu's mom will come and quarrel with you?"
I guess he heard it from little kid Xu Zhixiao. Chen Qingzhi didn't avoid little kids when he made trouble, even Diandian knew about it.
Jiang Hongguo was in a dilemma and said, "Your father has also tried to find Xiaoyu, but he is in a critical period of the experiment and cannot leave. If Xiaoyu can be found, there will be no trouble."
Little One whispered a little secret to Hong Guo: "Mom, the big fish said it can find it. I will take you to find it tonight."
Can the golden dragon still find someone? Hong Guo wanted to give it a try, so she had dinner early. The tiny big fish floated out, with shallow horns growing on its head. Why did it feel like it was about to leap over the dragon gate and begin to transform?
The big fish wrapped the ginger, red fruits and dots, and then started to swim. It was a wonderful feeling, as light as a dream.
Hongguo felt that her body did not move, but her consciousness moved, and it followed the big fish to an unknown place.
Dayu also gave several options. Qu Lian was beating up Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou, blaming them for arranging a blind date for her without informing her in advance. Lao Jiao and Guizhi were brewing tea around the stove under a tree full of persimmons. Changzong was pondering the last few pieces of the gem puzzle on the roof. He had no idea what to use to replace the moon piece, so he was concentrating on thinking.
Hongguo felt that when her consciousness floated over, Changzong's gaze was looking over at her.
She thought sweetly and proudly in her heart that no one else noticed it, only Changzong felt it, he was so powerful.
It turns out that this golden dragon can quickly locate its extraordinary peers in the world of ordinary people. It is quite amazing.
The little one held Hongguo's hand and shook it: "Look, mom, it's Xiaoyu."
Hongguo saw that Chen Zhiyu was wearing a new dress and pink leather shoes, holding the hands of her professor parents, and happily returned home.
The one who opened the door was the nanny, and there was a timid little boy. The professor's adoptive parents introduced him to the little brother who they just adopted: "This is the little brother that mom and dad just adopted. From now on, you two will be siblings. You must get along well with each other."
Chen Zhiyu nodded obediently, and when the professor's parents were not paying attention, she pushed her newly adopted brother down the stairs from the second floor without any expression.
The little one covered his eyes in fear: "Mom, this is so scary."
Hongguo quickly picked her up, and the big fish's tail turned, and she and Diandian's vision returned to the environment inside the room.
Hongguo's heart was beating fast too. Oh my God, she felt that the things summoned from the Yao family's underground were completely different from Changzong and the others.
Changzong Yushan Qulian and Lao Zheng do not have much empathy, but after getting along for a long time, they have more and more human moral bottom line. However, the one summoned by the Yao family for hundreds of years is a completely cold-blooded creature. No wonder a systematic system is needed to restrain him.
Jiang Hongguo patted his head and nodded: "Don't be afraid, we will ask Yu Shan and Officer Guan to bring Xiaoyu back."
Little Bit was very confused: "But, after bringing her back, Xiaoyu still won't get better."
Hong Guo knew: "Bring her back first. We can't let her stay in a place where we can't control her at all."
Bring Chen Qingzhi back to comfort him first, and then plan the next step.
Hong Guo did not delay and immediately called Guancheng's unit: "I have Chen Zhiyu's address. Let's bring him back to Chen Qingzhi first."
…
Chen Qingzhi had done all the things she could, and there was only one person left, Jiang Hongguo. The kindergarten in the mining area had not yet closed for the holiday, so she planned to go over and make a scene, not letting Jiang Hongguo have an easy time.
She had just negotiated with Wen Yongshan and got half of the money. With the money, she could do a lot of things.
Jiang Hongguo used money to prevent Xiaoyu from transferring to another kindergarten, so she would use money to scare all the parents in the mining area kindergarten, making them afraid of being implicated by Jiang Hongguo's family!
Chen Qingzhi spent money to find two people to boost his momentum, ran to the kindergarten at the mine, and waited for school to be over. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Hongguo.
Hong Guo saw Chen Qingzhi again. After just a few months of not seeing her, she had changed a lot, and all the harshness and resentment were revealed on her face. This was the girl that Gu Zhiqing secretly liked when he was young. Now she was like this, both of them must be disappointed.
Jiang Hongguo didn't give her a chance to perform: "Chen Qingzhi, you came here because of Xiaoyu's matter, right? I want to know the reason?"
"Do you need a reason? My Xiaoyu is gone, but your child is still here. That's the reason. Jiang Hongguo, just consider yourself unlucky."
Chen Qingzhi looked at Jiang Hongguo with resentment. She couldn't do anything to her, but she could use money to get the parents of other children in the kindergarten to unite and put pressure on them to drive her little one away.
This was really unreasonable. Jiang Hongguo was too lazy to argue with her. Fortunately, Diandian had an adventure and found the person.
Jiang Hongguo pretended to be surprised: "You are so ungrateful. My cousin and I have done our best to help you find your child. If you hadn't come, you would have received a notice that your Xiaoyu has been found."
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Qingzhi didn't believe it at all.
"The kindergarten won't run away. My home is also there. Can't you go to the Public Security Bureau and check it out?"
Jiang Hongguo laughed at him, "You didn't believe the news. I don't think you really want to find Xiaoyu. If it were someone else, they would have rushed over long ago, right?"
Chen Qingzhi gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Jiang Hongguo, if Xiaoyu doesn't come back, I will still come to settle the score with you."
Jiang Hongguo shook her head. She had already lost Xiaoyu long before she stole the key and let the child into the basement of the ancestral hall.
…
Chen Zhiyu was found, but she had lost her memory. Her adoptive parents, who are professors, said that when they found the child, she was covered in wounds and knew nothing when asked. They had no way of finding her family, so they sent her to an orphanage for a while, but they always had her in their minds, so they adopted her back.
The boy in the family is the child of a good friend. I promised my friend that I would adopt his child and take good care of him after his death. Unexpectedly, on the first day after the adoption, the two children were playing and the younger brother accidentally fell down the stairs. Fortunately, he was rescued, otherwise I would not be able to explain to my dead friend.
Then the couple met a fortune teller, who said that the two children were in conflict and could not be together. In addition, the police came and said that the children had biological mothers and needed to be returned. The professor's adoptive parents actually felt relieved and packed up all the things they had bought for the children and gave them away for free.
Xiaoyu lost her memory, but she is back. Chen Qingzhi doesn't miss Xiaoyu at all. She remembers what happened at the professor's adoptive parents' house and throws all the things she brought from there into the trash can.
Those were all good stuff and they were picked up quickly.
Chen Qingzhi put on Xiaoyu's new clothes and shoes and hugged her lovingly: "Xiaoyu, Mommy will never let you leave me again."
Xiaoyu obediently let her hold her and said something heartwarming: "Mom, although I don't remember you, I will remember you. I love you, Mom."
Chen Qingzhi really couldn't help it and started crying while hugging Xiaoyu. She only had Xiaoyu and money.
…
In fact, Hongguo and everyone had been discussing that after finding Xiaoyu, Chen Qingzhi would take the child away from Yancheng. They were considering how to find out in advance where she would stay and arrange for someone to go there in advance.
However, Chen Qingzhi unexpectedly did not leave Yancheng, but went to find Boss Qiao, who had just divorced and was severely tricked by his ex-wife, to cooperate in opening a mine.
Boss Qiao had a mining license and Chen Qingzhi had money, so they approached Mu Zhenzhen and proposed cooperation.
Mu Zhen really thought that she could get promoted with the help of her child, but she didn't expect that Boss Qiao's wife was the real rich one. Without his wife, Boss Qiao had no connections anymore, and even coal bosses like Wen Yongshan ignored him.
Chen Qingzhi's investment can be said to be a timely relief, but Mu Zhen really couldn't understand why she wanted to stay?
"Everyone in Yancheng knows about your situation. Even if you can tolerate it, how can Xiaoyu be mentally healthy if she grows up in such an environment? Why don't you move to another city?"
Chen Qingzhi refused: "I don't know, I just don't want to leave. What do you want to prove? Jiang Hongguo can run a mine well, so why can't I? I don't believe it. The money will run out. Now that I'm in the coal mining industry, is there anything more profitable than this? While there is still a way, I want to do this business."
The reason was very sufficient. Besides, after the divorce, apart from a mine, Old Joe's cash flow had dried up and he even gave the house he lived in to his ex-wife. He really needed funds, and Mu Zhen had no reason to refuse.
With Chen Qingzhi's money, Lao Qiao's mine started to operate. The miners who were clamoring for wages finally received their wages that had been delayed for several months, and agreed to go down to the mine to start work the next day.
The three of them drank heartily that night, and in their drunken state, they swore with great ambition to do something big and never become a laughing stock in Yancheng.
However, under the surveillance of Yushan and Guancheng, they saw with their own eyes that Chen Zhiyu ran to the mine. Such a young child bypassed the safety guard on duty and went down into the mine.
Yu Shan was puzzled: "Why did she go down into the mine? There is no other formation under the mine.
Guan Cheng had no idea, but he knew it was a serious matter and he had to report it immediately. He told Yu Shan not to run away, "You stay here and watch. I'll make the phone call."
…
At Jiang Hongguo's house, the little one suddenly felt uncomfortable and ran to her to rub his head: "Mom, the big fish is too noisy. It was so irritable tonight and wanted to go out. I couldn't control it."
Hong Guo was wondering what was going on. Just when she didn't know what to do, Gu Changzong called her: "Guo Guo, is the golden dragon making trouble?"
How did Chang Zong know this? Jiang Hongguo became nervous: "There was a commotion. Diandian said that Jin Jiao wanted to go out and he couldn't hold him back."
Gu Changzong said, "Then take Diandian out and let him follow his instincts to lead the way. Guan Cheng said that the child Chen Zhiyu went down into the mine. She has been under the ancestral hall of your Yao family. There is a high probability that she has found a way to open a passage. The Golden Dragon has noticed it and wants to go over and eat the food that comes over. You guys go quickly."
Jiang Hongguo had no time to digest the information, and immediately asked Lao Zheng to drive the family's transport truck to take them to Boss Qiao's mine. The safety officer tried to stop them, but Yu Shan, who came out to pick them up, kicked him out.
Yu Shan's hair stood on end with nervousness: "Something's wrong, Lao Zheng, you feel it too, right?"
Old Zheng nodded, his face solemn, and said to Jiang Hongguo: "Yu Shan and I will take some with us."
"Do you want to go down again?" Jiang Hongguo's voice became louder. She thought that Diandian was there and only Jin Jiao needed to go down.
Lao Zheng doesn't talk much nonsense. Sometimes, they really are not as indecisive as ordinary people here.
He was the one who brought up the little one, so he asked the little one without any hesitation: "Uncle Zheng will go with you, are you afraid?"
The little one said nervously: "I'm not afraid."
In fact, he was a little scared, but he couldn't show it in front of his mother. He comforted Jiang Hongguo: "Mom, I'm not an ordinary child. I'm going to take risks. Mom, wait for me to come back."
At the critical moment, Hong Guo would not hold back. No matter how nervous she was, she could not cause trouble at this time. She nodded quickly: "Be careful."
Guan Cheng wanted to go down: "I'll go with you."
Yu Shan laughed, "I admit that you are good at solving cases, but this is not the time to solve a case. Someone just broke in, and Boss Qiao's people will definitely come soon. You stay up there to protect Hong Guo. Also, no matter how chaotic it is up there, don't send anyone down. Anyway, I've made it clear that whoever goes down will die. I'm not responsible, and I don't have the extra time to care about others."
Guan Cheng nodded solemnly: "I will go call for backup now."
There was no need to close the city and call for support, as Lao Wei had already made arrangements, and soon, Boss Qiao’s mine was sealed off.
