Chapter 26 There is a kidnapper
Everyone heard Diao Yulian's voice, and after listening for a while, they realized that Wu Jiabao was missing.
Losing a child is a big deal. People came out of their homes one after another and gathered in the yard.
"Yulian, have you looked for it at home?" Gao Xiulan came out from the inner room and interrupted.
"I looked for him. I searched all over the house and didn't see him, so I went to the alley where Jiabao usually plays."
Diao Yulian's eyes were wide open with anxiety, she spoke quickly and hurriedly, and her fingers subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Open your mouth wide, have you seen your tiger head today? Call him out and ask."
Jin Qiaofeng saw Zhang Dazui also lifted the curtain and came out and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, Hutou, is Hutou at home? Have you seen my Jiabao?"
Diao Yulian thought of Hu Tou and her eyes lit up. These children always played together, so who knows what they knew.
"My tiger got tired from playing at noon today and is now sleeping in the house. Don't worry, I'll go ask him right away."
"Hutou, Hutou, have you seen Wu Jiabao today?"
Zhang Dazui walked into the room, shook the sleeping Tiger Head and asked in a low voice.
"See you, grandma. I was playing catching devils with Wu Jiabao this morning."
Hu Tou was shaken awake, only one eye was open and his little hand was rubbing the other eye.
Hu Tou looked like he was still sleepy and was carried to the yard by Zhang Dazui in a daze.
"Tiger Head, Grandma Wu is asking you, when did you see my Jiabao?"
When Diao Yulian heard Hu Tou's words, tears fell from her eyes. She squatted down and grabbed Hu Tou's two fat arms with both hands.
"Old Wu, stop being so tight-lipped. Let Hutou talk it out."
Jin Qiaofeng couldn't stand it anymore. She thought, "Don't scare the children with this scene."
"We played catching devils with Wu Jiabao in the morning, and then we went home for lunch at noon."
"We were all about to go into the house, but Wu Jiabao didn't move. I called him a few times, but he didn't respond. He just sat on the doorstep by himself."
When Hu Tou saw so many people in the yard, he woke up completely from his sleepiness. He touched his head and carefully thought about what happened this morning.
"Then where did this child go? My family treasure won't be lost, wuwuwuwuwu."
When Diao Yulian heard this, her tears started to flow one by one.
"Old Wu, calm down for a moment. Tiger Head, think about whether there were any strange people at the entrance of the alley this morning."
Gao Xiulan felt sorry for Diao Yulian when she saw her like this. She thought the child might have been kidnapped by a kidnapper.
"Xiu Lan, you mean there is a kidnapper." Yu Afen figured it out after hearing this.
"Tiger Head, think about it, is there anyone you don't know wandering around the alley entrance?"
Zhang Dazui also hurried to ask Hutou again. If there really was a kidnapper, it would be a big deal. All the children in the big yard liked to play at the entrance of the alley.
"Grandma, I remember now. This morning, a peddler came to the door with a shoulder pole, selling candy next to us."
"The man was shouting, and I didn't have any money in my pocket, so I didn't go over. I saw Wu Jiabao seemed to go to the stall to buy something."
Hu Tou thought of the peddler, a unfamiliar face he had never seen before.
"What does the man with the tiger head look like? Do you remember him?"
"That person had a black towel wrapped around his head, and his face was pitch black, so I couldn't see his face clearly... Now I remember that person's accent was a bit strange, he didn't seem like someone from here."
"Oh my goodness, this guy is most likely a kidnapper."
"Don't tell me, maybe Wu Jiabao has been kidnapped."
"Oh my god, my treasure!"
After hearing this, Diao Yulian's heart sank. She started howling immediately, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground like a piece of soft noodles.
"Yulian, Diao Yulian, please hold on, don't cry."
"Open your mouth and give me a hand. I can't hold you anymore."
Jin Qiaofeng happened to be standing in front of Diao Yulian. With her quick eyes and hands, she caught the upper half of Diao Yulian's body.
However, Diao Yulian's hands were too strong, and she couldn't support him by herself, so she could only seek help from Zhang Dazui.
"Here it comes, let me do it. Hey, Diao Yulian, hold on, don't fall."
Zhang Dazui pushed Hu Tou to Gao Xiulan, and taking advantage of his height, he used his powerful hands to pick up Diao Yulian by the waist like a pair of pliers.
Yu Afen said, "Call the police. They've been missing for hours. We should call the police."
"Such a big thing, but has anyone called Wu Shengli back?"
Seeing Diao Yulian like this, Gao Xiulan found it hard to bear to call the police.
"Yulian, Yulian, is our family treasure really missing?"
Wu Shengli ran in from the gate, stumbling as if he had lost his soul.
He was chatting with some co-workers tonight, enjoying himself with a glass of wine.
Unexpectedly, he heard Ernengzi calling him that Wu Jiabao was missing. He sobered up instantly and ran back from the factory like a madman.
"Wu Shengli, stop shaking and call the police! I just woke Diao Yulian up. Don't make her faint again."
Zhang Dazui looked at Wu Shengli who was still arguing wildly with a look of impatience.
If your child is missing, report it to the police immediately. Why are you still hesitating here? Aren't you just wasting time?
Everyone knows that the longer a child is lost, the harder it is to find them.
"Wu Shengli is such a bad guy. His brain is even worse than mine."
He opened his mouth wide and complained wildly in his mind.
"Yes, yes, yes, call the police. I'll call the police right away."
Wu Shengli didn't tear his mouth wide open. After hearing her reminder, he hurriedly prepared to go to the police station to report the incident.
The nearest police station is not far from the slum, about 3 kilometers away. It takes some time to walk, but it is much faster to ride a bike, just a few minutes.
"Who among you has lost a child?"
There was a commotion in the backyard, and two police officers in uniform came in from the front yard.
"Comrade Public Security, this is the family. The Wu family has lost a baby boy."
Following behind him were Ernengzi and Wu Chunyan, who had not returned to the compound for a long time.
Ernengzi went to the factory and called Wu Shengli home. After the other person rushed home, he turned around and called Wu Chunyan home. The two of them went to the police station together to report the crime.
"Comrade Public Security, this is our child. We are the only boy in the Wu family."
Wu Shengli rushed to the front of the police officer with one step, shook his big hand, and cried.
"Public Security Comrades, please, please find my family treasure."
Diao Yulian stopped pretending to be dead. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she broke free from Zhang Dazui's arm and together with Wu Shengli, she held the police officer's hand.
Xiao Qi, a new employee who just started working in the summer, had never seen such a scene before and was shocked.
The two men had such strong hands that they were like two huge pliers, locking the object tightly so that it could not move.
"You two get up first, Director Li, our director is here."
Xiao Qi's face turned red with anxiety, and he quickly turned around and called Director Li behind him.
"Comrades, please calm down first. We rushed here immediately after receiving the report."
Director Li is a middle-aged man with a righteous face and a strong and powerful voice. He retired from the army and moved to this alley a few years ago.
