By the time Hongmei discovered that the child was missing, half an hour had passed. Aunt Liu was still muttering to herself, preparing to kill a chicken for Liu Cuixia to drink.
Hongmei felt that drinking raw chicken blood was really disgusting. She stepped back, feeling that something was missing. After looking carefully, she realized that the child was missing.
Fearing that the child was lost, he quickly went to find Old Lady Ge: "Auntie Ge, where is your relative's child? Why is he missing?"
Old Mrs. Ge was also shocked. Although she didn't want to raise a child, she had no way to explain to her son when his child came back after he was lost.
Please ask Hongmei and her husband to go find the child immediately.
Momo ran slowly because of his short legs, and was completely confused when he got out of the door. He also wanted to look for his mother to go home, but he didn't know which direction to go.
Holding his little ears, he looked in a direction and ran happily. He didn't think about whether he could find his home or not. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
After all, he was only two years old.
Hongmei and her husband went out and looked for the child separately, but they searched the entire area but couldn't find the child.
After all, a two-year-old child, no matter how fast he ran, would not disappear in such a short time. The two men did not find the child, but instead met a green jeep on the way.
The car stopped in front of the two men, and two men in police uniforms jumped out. They were Zhou Luancheng and his colleague.
Zhou Luancheng held up a portrait and politely asked Hongmei and her husband, "Hello, could you please take a look at the person pictured here? Do you recognize him?"
Hongmei and Tiejun took a closer look at the portrait and exclaimed, "Isn't this Ge Jun?"
Zhou Luancheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally going to take the portrait to the local public security bureau, but he didn't expect to meet two people on the way. When he asked them casually, he found out that he knew the person in the portrait.
Thinking that he would soon find out where Mo Mo was, he showed a rare anxious expression on his face: "Do you know where his home is? Can you take me there?"
Tiejun nodded cooperatively: "Sure, it's not far over there, I'll take you there."
The couple got into the car. Hongmei was very curious as to why the police came to find Ge Jun with a portrait. She quietly tugged at Tiejun's clothes, wanting him to ask something.
Tiejun was also curious, but he didn't dare to say anything because of the other party's identity. He winked at Hongmei and asked her to be quiet.
In his heart, he was thinking, they were looking for Ge Jun with a portrait, so they must have committed a crime, right? However, seeing the serious expressions of Zhou Luancheng and his companions, he felt that the crime was quite serious.
It only took a few minutes by car to arrive at Ge Jun's house.
Without waiting for Tiejun and his wife to get out of the car, Zhou Luancheng got out first and walked quickly into the yard.
There were a few people standing in the yard, gathered together and discussing something. When they saw the police coming in, they thought they were here to deal with feudal superstition and quickly made way.
Zhou Luancheng felt something was wrong when he saw so many people. He frowned and walked into the house. He saw two or three women in the house. They were holding down a woman and pouring raw blood into her mouth. The blood was flowing down the corners of the woman's mouth. It was still a bit scary.
"What are you doing!?"
Zhou Luancheng shouted at them, and Old Lady Ge and Sixth Aunt stopped what they were doing. When they saw that they were two police officers, they loosened their grip in fear and threw Liu Cuixia to the ground again.
After being freed, Liu Cuixia quickly crawled to the corner of the wall, still saying, "Don't look for me, it's not me, it has nothing to do with me, don't look for me."
Aunt Six was so scared that she threw away the bowl in her hand, and the remaining half bowl of chicken blood splattered everywhere.
Old Lady Ge also felt that Zhou Luancheng and his men came because of their feudal superstitions, and she explained tremblingly: "It's not what you think. My daughter-in-law is sick, and we just used some folk remedies. We don't believe in superstition."
Zhou Luancheng glanced at Liu Cuixia who was huddled in the corner and didn't have time to care about this. Since this was Ge Jun's home, but there was no sign of Mo Mo, could it be that they had found the wrong place?
He hadn't slept a wink these past two days because he was worried about the child. Now, seeing that there was no trace of Mo Mo in the room, he frowned and looked around silently.
Seeing Zhou Luancheng's grim expression, Old Lady Ge and Sixth Aunt were so frightened that they dared not speak and stood by trembling in fear.
Zhou Luancheng retracted his gaze, took out Mo Mo's photo from his pocket, and handed it to Old Lady Ge: "Have you seen this child?"
Old Mrs. Ge squinted her eyes and looked carefully for a long time, her expression changed. Isn’t this child in the photo the one that Ge Jun and Liu Cuixia picked up?
The police even came to her house, which meant her guess was correct. This child definitely did not come from a legitimate family.
Fearing that he might implicate his son, he shook his head repeatedly: "No, I haven't seen it."
Old Lady Ge's expression had betrayed her. Zhou Luancheng's eyes became sharper and his tone became more serious: "You really haven't seen it?"
Old Lady Ge shook her head vigorously: "If you haven't seen it, then you haven't seen it. You can see it too. Our house is so small and my daughter-in-law is still sick. How can we have any children?"
Zhou Luancheng put away the photos and said, "If you confess, you can get leniency. If you conceal it, you will be suspected of child trafficking and you will be sentenced severely."
Because the police were there, several neighbors in the yard also came in to watch the fun. Now they heard Zhou Luancheng talking about looking for a child and that he was suspected of child trafficking.
Suddenly I remembered that when they came just now, it seemed that Old Lady Ge was holding a child in her arms. The child had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was fair and tender. At that time, I was only busy watching the fun and didn't ask where the child came from.
At this moment, someone was curious: "Auntie Ge, weren't you holding a child just now?"
When Mrs. Ge heard this, she quickly shook her head and denied it: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm holding a child there. Don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Luancheng turned around and took out the photo to show them: "Look, is this the child in the photo? The child's family has fallen ill because of the search for the child."
After taking a closer look, several people nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's this child, this child."
Tiejun also squeezed in. He didn't expect the police to come just for the child. He knew the most clearly: "Comrade, we just went out to look for the child. Aunt Ge said that the child is a relative's child and seems to be unable to speak. It's just that there was a commotion here just now, and the child suddenly ran away."
Zhou Luancheng frowned: "The child is missing? How could he be missing?"
Tiejun shook his head: "I don't know. Everyone was looking over here at the time, and no one noticed when the child went out. It was my wife who found out that the child was missing. We just went out to look for him, but we didn't see him."
After hearing this, Zhou Luancheng didn't care about anything else. He asked Cheng Zhigang, who came with them, to stay and look after the old lady. He went to cooperate with the local police to find Mo Mo as soon as possible.
