Gu Jingmo ordered a meal from the guesthouse. After the two of them finished eating, Gu Jingmo told Xia Jin that the two people on the train might be human traffickers. He had called the police, so that's why he came back so late.
When Xia Jin heard Gu Jingmo say that the two of them were human traffickers, she said angrily, "These people are so evil, stealing other people's children to sell them. If the child is really stolen, how will the family who lost the child live? There are so many things they can do at such a young age, but they do such immoral things."
The next day, after the two of them finished breakfast, Gu Jingmo took Xia Jin to the government compound first. This time, Gu Jingmo did not plan to go to the county below with Xia Jin to look for it. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and it would take a long time to find it if they went around searching in the countryside.
Instead, they used their connections to find a staff member who was familiar with the environment to go with them. After all, Xia Jin and his friends only knew Xia's father's village, but they didn't know his name, so it would be difficult for two people to go down and find him.
There is someone leading the way and they are all government officials working in the same system. In this way, it is easy for Xia Jin and others to retrieve files in the county and town. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome for two people who are unfamiliar with the place to do business in a place by just making a phone call and then notifying the lower levels.
After Gu Jingmo explained the situation to the other side, the mayor sent a secretary to follow them and helped them find someone from the other side to drive and lead the way.
Xia Jin returned to the guesthouse, packed up his things, checked out, and got in the car. It was already past nine when they set out, and it was already three in the afternoon when they arrived in Ping County. No one had eaten lunch yet, so they drove directly to the nearest restaurant when they arrived in Ping County.
There were four of them, three of them grown men, and they had been hungry for so long. Xia Jin and his friends ordered six dishes in total and ate them all. After dinner, Xia Jin and his friends found a guesthouse and booked three rooms.
It's so late now. If we rush to Majiagou from here now, we will arrive there after six o'clock. The staff have already gone off work, so there is no point in going. Besides, Xiao Wu has been driving for nearly five hours and is tired. He will rest here for a night and go to Majiagou tomorrow.
They had lunch late, and went out for dinner to eat something casually. Although the food was similar, it was really amazing that each place had a different taste.
Xia Jin and his friends were sitting in a noodle shop eating noodles when a customer next to them asked, "You guys are from outside the city, right? From a bigger city? What are you doing here? Are you working?"
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Not really. My father and his family should be from this county. I came here to look for him. How did you tell that, uncle?"
The customer smiled and said, "The mental outlook is different."
Xia Jin said, "Uncle, we just arrived here. Do you have any recommendations for good restaurants?"
"Oh, then you've asked the right person. I've lived here for forty years, and I know exactly how good the food is. I can tell you that the restaurants in Dongcheng are cheap, large portions, and delicious. There's also a roast chicken shop on West Street that's incredibly delicious..."
The middle-aged man talked about a lot of shops. Xia Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for the recommendation, uncle. I will go and try it when I finish my work."
After a night's rest, everyone was almost recovered. We started our journey after breakfast early in the morning. It was just after six o'clock when we set off.
Fortunately, the driver, Xiao Wu, was from Niutougou and was very familiar with the road, which saved time for Xia Jin and the others. Otherwise, they would have to stop and ask for directions every time they walked, which was troublesome and a waste of time.
The group arrived at Niutougou Town at around nine o'clock. They did not waste any time and drove directly to the local police station.
After arriving at the police station, Xia Jin explained his purpose. A young police officer said enthusiastically, "It's you. Our director has instructed that when you arrive, you will be taken directly to his office. Please follow me."
The four people were taken to the director's office by the police. The police said at the door: "Liu, the person you mentioned is here."
The man in the office looked up when he heard this and looked at Xia Jin and the other four. The man called Liu Suo stood up enthusiastically and walked towards them. Then he said to Gu Jingmo, "Young Master Gu, you are here. Come in and sit down."
Then, looking at the police officer standing at the door, Chief Liu said, "Xiao Wu, please go out first. I'll call you if there's anything else."
The police officer named Xiao Wu said, "Okay, Chief Liu." Then he walked out and closed the door.
After watching the people leave, Chief Liu said to Gu Jingmo, "Hello, Third Young Master Gu, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Jianping, and I'm the director of Niutougou Police Station."
Gu Jingmo said, "Hello, Chief Liu." After greeting them, he introduced Xia Jin and the others to Chief Liu one by one. After greeting them one by one, Chief Liu said, "Young Master Gu, County Magistrate Zhang only told me that you were coming here to do something and asked me to cooperate with you. I don't know what it is."
Gu Jingmo said, "Liu, we are looking for someone who happens to be from the village below your Niutougou. However, we only know that her last name might be Xia, and we don't know anything else."
Liu said, "This is a bit difficult, but I would like to ask who this is, Young Master Gu, and if you have any other clues."
Gu Jingmo said, "He's my fiancée's father. My fiancée has been separated from her father since she was a child, and now I want to find him."
"Ajin has lived with her mother since she was a child. Besides the village name, she only has her mother's name and her own name. However, since her stepfather's surname is also Xia, I don't know if my fiancée's name has been changed."
Liu Jianping said, "Could you please ask, Miss Xia, if your mother and father have obtained a marriage certificate?"
Xia Jin said, "Yes. They got a marriage certificate." Xia Jin remembered that Old Lady Xia had always been making fun of Liu Xiu, saying how he was a second-married woman and not worthy of her son.
Moreover, Liu Xiu was ridiculed and complained to Xia Jin about Xia Jin's father, saying that if their family had not insisted on forcing him to get a marriage certificate, he would be legally a first marriage. Then he could throw away Xia Jin, the burden, and no one would find out that she had been married and had children in the countryside, and she would not have to marry a second-married man with children.
So Xia Jin remembers this incident very clearly.
Liu Jianping smiled and said, "That's easy. As long as you register your marriage, we have the paper documents on file. I'll have someone go to the marriage office for you and check it out."
Xia Jin said, "Then I'll trouble Chief Liu."
Liu Jianping said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. We are serving the people. But Miss Xia, could you please provide me with your mother's information?"
"Her name is Liu Xiu, which means delicate. They must have been married before 1964. My father must have been a villager in Xiajiadianzi Village."
