Cheng Jiawen led everyone to search for the target location step by step. They searched carefully one after another, not missing any clues.
However, disappointingly, after searching these three places repeatedly, there was still no trace of explosives and food.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a whole morning had passed, but everyone had worked in vain and gained nothing. When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
They had thought they could make some breakthroughs and progress by following the clues this time, but now it seems that all their efforts seem to be in vain, and they seem to have been pushed back to their original state and are stuck in a deadlock.
They don't have much time left now.
'White Bird' had said that the explosives would explode in three days. Now it had been two days and they still had found nothing. Tomorrow was the last day. What should they do?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces. The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere became solemn, as if a heavy burden was pressing on everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.
After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but speak to break the deadlock, but the voice sounded low and weak, as if it had lost its former vitality and liveliness. "What should we do..."
After hearing this whisper, the others did not respond much, but just lowered their heads silently without saying a word.
The entire scene was unusually quiet, with a depressing atmosphere enveloping everyone present.
"Everyone is tired. Why don't you go to my house for a meal, rest for a while, and then look for it in the afternoon?" Cheng Jiawen couldn't help but say as he looked at the dejected crowd.
Officer Liu took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and encouraged everyone. "It's okay, everyone's worked hard. Let's go to Jiawen's house to rest for a while and continue this afternoon." Then he turned to look at Cheng Jiawen, "Jiawen, thank you for your help. Don't worry, I'll reimburse you for the food when I get back to the bureau."
"It's no trouble, it's my duty." Cheng Jiawen said with a smile.
He was somewhat surprised. He had already prepared the food, but he didn't expect to be reimbursed. It was a pleasant surprise.

Xu family
When Cheng Jiawen brought a group of people home, only Xu's father and mother were at home, and Xu Qianjiao was still at work.
He walked in, "Dad, Mom."
"Jiawen is back." Mother Xu came out of the kitchen after hearing the voice. She saw a large group of people following Cheng Jiawen. Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask much. She just looked at them with a smile and nodded.
Cheng Jiawen pointed at Officer Liu and introduced them, "Dad, Mom, this is my colleague from the police station, and this is my leader, Officer Liu."
Xu's father and mother smiled and said, "Hey, hello, leader, hello everyone."
Officer Liu stepped forward and said with a polite smile, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit today."
Xu's mother waved her hand cheerfully. "Well, what's the matter with bothering me? I also want to thank you for taking such good care of Jiawen at the bureau. Jiawen has already told us that his colleagues are very kind and often take care of him. His leaders are also very helpful to him."
"Hahaha, Jiawen is too polite. It's only natural for colleagues to help each other." Jiang Ziwen smiled and was very touched. He didn't expect Cheng Jiawen to say this about them at home.
When he first came, they isolated him and provoked him. Now that I think about it, they really shouldn't have done that.
Not only Jiang Ziwen had this expression, but other colleagues also had the same expression, with red faces, and were very moved and regretful in their hearts. Some even felt that they must be nicer to Cheng Jiawen in the future so that they could withstand his praise in front of his family.
Seeing their deeply moved faces, Officer Liu shook his head helplessly. "These guys are still young, and they believe such words. However, these words are indeed comforting. Sure enough, how can someone who can teach people as smart as Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao have low emotional intelligence?"
Cheng Jiawen was delighted to see that Xu's mother had won over his colleagues and leaders with just a few words, and even won him a wave of favor. He looked at Xu's mother and said, "Mom, my colleagues will be having dinner at home later. Please cook more rice."
Mother Xu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, that's perfect. I braised some pig intestines and pig's feet today, so I'll give you a dish."
When everyone heard that there were meat dishes, they quickly waved their hands and refused: "No, no, no, Auntie, you can keep it for yourself, we can just have a simple meal, no need to bother."
In today's environment, food prices have risen, and meat has gone up even more, by who knows how much.
Now that there are such a large group of people, if I serve them meat and vegetables, they will eat them all at once. That won't do. They don't know how long they have to save money to buy meat and vegetables.
If I let them eat them all at once, I would feel bad about it.
Mother Xu smiled but said nothing. She just pointed to the living room and said, "Jia Wen, take them to the inner room to sit and rest for a while. The meal will be ready soon."
After that, Xu's mother went back into the kitchen to continue working. After Cheng Jiawen sent them to the kang bed, he prepared to go to the kitchen to see if Xu's mother needed any help. He walked to the kitchen door and said, "Mom."
"Jiawen, why are you here? Aren't you staying in the living room with your friend?" Xu's mother asked while cutting vegetables.
"Let me help you. How can you and dad be the only ones cooking for so many people? I'm just waiting to eat." Cheng Jiawen said as he picked up the radish next to him and put it on the chopping board to cut it.
Xu's mother took the kitchen knife from his hand and pushed him out of the kitchen. "Go away, go and talk to your boss and colleagues. Your father and I are here."
