Chapter 42 Looking for the Child



"How can I help?"

"Please help us find the child, time is running out.

Even though you only saw the back, it's better than us running around randomly. If we look together, our hope will be greater."

Qin Anning was a little embarrassed, "Comrade Public Security, it's no problem for me to help find the child.

But I only saw that person's back from a distance. Even if you asked me to recognize him, I wouldn't be able to recognize him.

You might as well find Old Lady Zhang and ask her to describe what that person looks like."

“We also asked over there, maybe you don’t understand the situation of the Zhang family.

Old Mrs. Zhang is Zhang Dashan's stepmother. The reason she sold her child was that she wanted Zhang Dashan to adopt his younger brother's son.

What Old Mrs. Zhang said was ambiguous. Sometimes she said it looked like this, and sometimes she said she couldn't remember clearly. It is impossible to judge whether her description is accurate or not, and questioning her will take time.

Now the only people who have directly or indirectly come into contact with the purchase of children are you and her.

That’s why we’d like to ask you for this favor.”

Qin An Ning nodded, "I have no problem, but I can't guarantee that I can recognize the person."

The child was innocent, and she couldn't bear to see his family separated.

Help as much as you can and do your best.

"It's autumn harvest time now, and the team is..."

The police understood immediately, "Don't worry, we will make arrangements."

When I opened the door, Lu Cheng was standing not far away, with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant.

"Why aren't you at work?" Isn't it time to rest for two days after a long trip?

"My vacation this time is long, so I can stay a few more days."

The two of them had only spoken a few words when the police came over.

"Let's go, Comrade Qin. We've already made arrangements with the team."

Lu Cheng pulled Qin Anning's wrist and said, "I'll go with you. Wait until I get home to get my bike."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

In the police station, Zhao Chunxing sat there blankly, as if she was dazed, with her eyes out of focus.

The longer you look for your child, the less hope there is of finding him.

Now there is not even any surveillance, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Qin An Ning and Lu Cheng looked at each other, neither of them knowing how to comfort each other.

If the child cannot be found, all the words they say are empty talk. They cannot understand the feelings of a mother at this moment.

"There's news." The police officer who went out for a visit came back sweating profusely.

He first picked up the teacup and gulped down half a cup of water, then wiped his mouth and mumbled everything without being asked.

"Yesterday afternoon, a man who looked like the suspect took a car to the county with a child in his arms."

Zhao Chunxing asked nervously, "What should we do then? Go to the county?"

We do need to investigate, but there are only four people in their office and it is impossible to send all of them out.

The county town is larger than the commune and has more convenient transportation, so the hope of finding it is even slimmer.

There was no way to tell Zhao Chunxing these words.

Director Yao Yongchun made a prompt decision, "Xiao Lin, come with me to the county to investigate. We are going to ask for help from the county public security bureau.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Qian stayed behind to be on duty, and continued to visit to see if they could find out if the man knew anyone in the commune, what he was doing there, and where he was from.

If you have any new clues, please call the county public security bureau."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Anning apologetically, "I'm sorry, Comrade Qin, I wanted you to help find someone.

Now that the situation has changed, I'm afraid your trip was in vain."

Lu Cheng spoke first, "Director Yao, since you are here, we would like to help as well.

I work in the county transportation team and can also help find out some information.

We can take care of our own food and lodging. I'd appreciate a letter of introduction."

Yao Yongchun agreed without even thinking about it.

Zhao Chunxing knelt down with a thud and said, "Comrade, please find my child back." As he spoke, he was about to kowtow.

Xiao Lin, who was standing by, hurriedly stopped him, "Comrade, this is our duty. This kind of thing doesn't work in our new society."

She looked at Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning with tears in her eyes again, bent down and bowed, "Thank you."

Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "We are all from the same village. There is no need to say that. We will do our best."

Several people hurried to the county, and Zhao Chunxing watched eagerly.

She also wanted to go, but she had no money and food and accommodation were problems.

Zhang Dashan asked everyone but couldn't find any useful information. He arrived at the police station in a daze and saw Zhao Chunxing walking out.

"Chun Xing, is there any news? Where are you going?"

Zhao Chunxing looked at Zhang Dashan sadly, ignored him, and continued walking towards the production team.

She had to go to the team leader to get a letter of introduction and borrow money from the team. She had to find her son. Only with a son could she stand up straight.

On this side, Lu Cheng rode a bicycle with Qin An Ning to the county.

Qin Anning sat in the back seat and poked Lu Cheng with his finger. "Looking for the child, do you have any plans?"

The steering wheel of the car shook uncontrollably, and Lu Cheng felt a tingling sensation on his waist where Qin An Ning had poked him, and a current ran through his body.

Lu Cheng spoke in a low and sexy voice, "Ningning, you can't touch a man's waist casually."

"So what if I touched it?" Qin An Ning poked it again in disbelief.

Lu Cheng hissed and spoke meaningfully, "You'll know later."

Qin Anning curled her lips, "Don't change the subject, do you have any plans?"

When it comes to business, Lu Cheng is no longer a scoundrel.

"Don't underestimate the power of the masses. Our transport team has connections with all the factories in the county.

Family members ask family members, family members ask relatives, and relatives ask relatives. When connected together, they form a huge network of relationships.

Most people would sympathize with this kind of situation and inquire more carefully, and maybe even be able to help."

The most important thing is that Ningning doesn’t have to work when she comes out to find someone.

Qin An Ning didn't know Lu Cheng's little thoughts and thought what he said made sense.

"We can also go to the bus station or the train station and ask. Oh, and you know the stationmaster, right? You could ask him for help."

“The police will definitely go to those two places. We can just wander around the county and see if we can find any useful information.

Anyway, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack now, just trying your luck.”

It was already noon when Lu Cheng arrived at the county, and he went directly to the state-owned restaurant.

"Eat first."

Qin An Ning nodded. She didn't want to go hungry either.

There were quite a few people in the state-owned restaurant, and today's offerings were written on the small blackboard.

Braised fish, stewed potatoes with green beans, dried tofu with chili peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Lu Cheng turned to Qin An Ning and asked, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No."

"Then find a seat and wait."

"Let me do it. I have the ticket." Qin An Ning thought that Lu Cheng had given her so many gifts before, so she should be the one to treat him to this meal.

Lu Cheng smiled at her, his eyes full of doting and tenderness, "Why, you don't want me to spend money?"

Qin An Ning's cheeks flushed lightly, like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

She snorted proudly, "Whatever you want!"
