"Could you show me a picture of your daughter?" Su Zhou looked at the woman. Her smile was very comforting, and her soft voice calmed Chen Yuyu's anxious mood. She took out a picture of her daughter from her phone. The little girl in the picture was pretty, but she was sullen and rarely smiled.
Su Zhou glanced at the girl, memorized her appearance and height, and then went out.
"Wipe your tears and drink some water. Crying won't help. Trust the headmistress; she'll definitely find a way." Song Xinran patted her shoulder; everyone felt sorry for her.
Chen Yuyu held the water glass, a layer of water droplets clinging to the outside of the milk tea cup, the ice completely melted. "I only have this one daughter. I don't want to live without her."
Although she hasn't spent much time with her daughter due to her busy work schedule, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her. She carried her for ten months and gave birth to her after making a firm decision, so how could she not love her?
"Wait for good news from the zoo director, and don't think about anything else." Song Xinran has been at the zoo for so long that everyone knows how lucky the director is, regardless of how the storm came about.
The zoo has faced numerous misfortunes and disasters, but each time it has managed to escape danger and even acquire more spoils.
Several times, the new animals that arrived at the zoo were acquired unexpectedly, so who knows what else might happen this time. Although everyone was anxious, they thought that if Su Zhou personally took charge, nothing serious would happen.
Only Chen Yuyu felt her heart racing, enveloped in intense unease.
Su Zhou came out of the security office and immediately started asking questions along the way.
Based on the fact that it had already been lost near the milk tea shop, she went along the street asking the animals one by one.
"Have you seen a little girl in a princess dress? She's very cute and about 1.2 meters tall. Do you remember her picture?" Su Zhou asked Chen Yuyu to send her the picture. She showed the picture to the monkeys in the monkey mountain. There were many monkeys there, and they were all very well-behaved.
There is a complete order within the monkeys. The monkey king walked over, glanced at the photo, and shook his head in a very human way.
There are just too many people coming here every day; if someone does come, they might not even get noticed.
The zoo is very popular because it offers a lot of activities and allows visitors to get up close to the animals. Many of the enclosures are indoors, so there's no unpleasant odor. If you get tired, you can rest in the enclosures; there are seats specifically provided for them.
Besides, princess dresses aren't exactly a special element. The dress Yao Yao is wearing is a popular style this year, and many parents buy pretty princess dresses for their daughters. Now that it's the season, many parents with little girls who bring their daughters to the zoo are wearing similar styles of clothing. To the animals, these dresses all look pretty much the same and have little distinctiveness.
Su Zhou didn't get any useful clues, so she had to go find other animals, asking each one, whether they were passing birds or other animals.
“You mean this little girl? I think I vaguely remember her. Kids all look pretty much the same, but this little girl was quiet and didn't talk.” A tourist glanced at Su Zhou's phone screen, which was originally meant for Kong Que. The tourist recalled, “I was eating at Grandma's Little Restaurant when a man brought this little girl over to eat. He bought a meal and ate it himself, without paying any attention to the little girl. I thought, how could there be such an irresponsible father? Why are you looking for this little girl?”
The tourist sensed something was wrong and quickly pressed for details.
“Your intuition is right, this person is a human trafficker, of course not her father.” Su Zhou turned off her phone screen, and the enthusiastic tourist’s expression immediately changed. “There are still human traffickers these days, I have to keep a close eye on my child.”
Perhaps because Yao Yao was too well-behaved, and because Chen Yuyu was the only woman taking care of her, she was targeted.
"It's alright, it's alright, the child will definitely be found, don't worry." Su Zhou was really troubled, not because she was afraid of trouble. It was fortunate that the traffickers weren't at the zoo. So far, it was known that only one girl had been taken away, and there were no more victims. This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Seeing that she hadn't gotten any clues from the other animals, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. But soon, the brown bear cubs came over.
"I'm not here to play with you guys. Let's wait until this is resolved, okay?" Su Zhou thought these bear cubs wanted to play with her, but she was really not in the mood right now, so she didn't pay much attention to them.
Is Xiaozhou unhappy because a little girl got lost?
Actually, I'll only tell Xiaozhou about the man I saw if she asks.
However, you need to exchange it for a hug.
Otherwise, I won't compromise. A bear should have a bear's dignity; it can't be so casual.
These bear cubs are all brown bears, small, fluffy balls of fur, and they have a warm, sun-kissed scent.
Su Zhou picked up one of the teddy bears: "Can you tell me now?"
The bear's paws were pressed against her chest, and the bear seemed to melt away. It didn't fuss at all in Su Zhou's arms, looking very well-behaved, even more obedient than some human children.
[Okay, okay, okay! I'm the only teddy bear to be hugged! I'm so happy!]
I should buy a lottery ticket today; I might win a whole case of milk. Maybe it's because today is my lucky day, and everything I do will come true.
[Actually... I heard his voice. He was holding that little girl's hand and talking on the phone, saying he was going to sell her to Meteor Village. There was a family there who were infertile and needed a daughter; he was offering 50,000 yuan. He also said that girls were a money-losing proposition, and if it were a son, the price would definitely double.]
[I remember now, we were talking about meeting up with someone named Ahui at the mala tang restaurant at the North Shore intersection.]
"How are you so smart? You even remembered the place names." Su Zhou really underestimated these little bear cubs, thinking they were only good for being cute. She didn't expect them to provide the most crucial clue. "Great job, great job! You are all good babies. I'll come and keep you company in a bit."
The little bear has truly made a great contribution.
Overjoyed, Su Zhou hugged the bear's head and kissed it several times, making the bear cubs extremely happy.
Not daring to waste any time, she immediately rushed to find the person after letting go of the teddy bear.
The police station was still on its way. At the same time, several other children went missing, and their parents reported them missing to the police.
