After arriving at the police station, both parties signed the necessary documents and completed the procedures. Zheng Guangping and Lei Liangpeng then took the child and prepared to leave.
Song Anmin held the baby for a while, and finally handed the baby over under the subtle urging gazes of Zheng Guangping and the other man.
Song Anmin joked, "Anyway, I know your hometown address, and I have friends there too, so I can go visit Guoguo sometime."
Zheng Guangping replied without changing her expression, "Sure, the Zheng family will host the event, you're welcome to come."
Song Anmin's words were half true and half false, but seeing that the two people's expressions didn't seem to be faking it, he was half relieved.
"Alright then, take care on your journey."
Song Anmin patted Guoguo's head again.
Goodbye, Guoguo.
Guoguo immediately burst into tears, waaaaaah...
Perhaps sensing something, he reached out his hand to Song Anmin.
Song Anmin snatched the baby from Zheng Guangping's arms, hugged it again, and comforted it, "It's alright, it's alright, don't cry. Uncle will come to see you in the future..."
Zheng Guangping was extremely impatient, but she wiped her eyes and said, "It seems this child is destined for you."
Song Anmin sighed inwardly and gave the child to Zheng Guangping.
Lei Liangpeng glanced at the time. "They should be arriving at Aiguo Street soon. Let's go over there first."
"Comrade Song, we'll be going now."
"become."
Zheng Guangping, holding the baby, and Lei Liangpeng, carrying two bags of luggage, left the police station and quickly disappeared around the corner.
Song Anmin stood there for a while, then returned to the police station, exhausted.
"Song Anmin, are you reluctant to go home?"
Song Anmin sighed again, "Let's sit down and talk. I don't have the strength to move."
The fifth brother was the first to be kicked out of the house, but he returned home not long after. Then Song Anmin was kicked out as well. He lived alone in his dormitory for several months, feeling utterly alone. Later, the fifth brother went to his uncle's house with him.
It wasn't until he adopted Guoguo that Song Anmin felt like he had found something to rely on. Now that Guoguo has gone to where she was meant to be, Song Anmin is feeling listless again.
The police officer didn't urge him, but called out into the police station corridor, "Xiao Wang, bring out the banner!"
A young policewoman came running down the corridor. "Coming!"
This banner was made a couple of days ago and is presented to Song Anmin on behalf of the public security authorities to thank him for his helpfulness in taking care of the victim Zhu Hongyu's daughter.
Song Anmin took the banner from Wang Ya, glanced at the words on it, looked at Wang Ya, and casually said, "Are you new here?"
Wang Ya smiled and said, "Yes, I was assigned here from the police academy."
Song Anmin carefully put away the banner and headed home.
When I returned to Heping Lane, I ran into my second brother and sister-in-law who were coming back.
Song Anmin: "Where did you go? Did you buy a new bicycle?"
"We've gone back to Biandan Village." Seeing that Song Anmin's back was empty, Song Yangmin asked, "Where's Guoguo?"
Qian Yu'an: "They've already been picked up?"
Song Anmin nodded, "I ran into her after get off work, and I've already registered it at the police station."
Song Yangmin: "No wonder you look listless. Have you eaten?"
Song Anmin shook his head and muttered, "You're not going to take me home to eat anyway."
Qian Yu'an burst out laughing.
Just as the three were talking, Zhuo Huai hurriedly rode his bicycle out from the depths of the alley.
"Sister Zhuo Huai, what's wrong with you?" Song Yangmin asked quickly.
Zhuo Huai was extremely anxious: "Chengcheng hasn't come back yet, I'll go go look for her."
Chengcheng usually gets out of school at 4:30, and even if she plays on the way, she can get home by 5:30 at the latest. It's already 7 o'clock now.
"Could she have gone to her classmate's house to play?"
Zhuo Huai: "This has never happened before. I'll go look for it first."
Zhuo Huai didn't say much and rode away on his bike.
Song Anmin scratched the back of his head, and the others exchanged glances.
Song Yangmin told Qian Yu'an to get out of the car first, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Zhuo Huai is a single mother, so she must be very worried about her child going missing.
Qian Yu'an: "Okay, be careful when you ride your bike."
Song Yangmin quickly turned his car around and followed.
Qian Yu'an and Song Anmin walked in the direction of home.
Aunt Wang and Xu Guiying were standing at the gate when they saw the two of them returning together. They couldn't help but ask, "Where's the second son?"
Qian Yu'an: "Yang Min went with her to find Chengcheng."
Xu Guiying nodded, then asked the third son, "Song Anmin, where's Guoguo?"
Song Anmin swallowed hard. "They were picked up by Zheng Guangping and the others."
Xu Guiying raised her voice: "Taken directly?"
Song Anmin nodded: "They're in a hurry. They said they want to ride back in a fellow villager's car. They've already registered at the police station."
Xu Guiying frowned.
"mom?"
Xu Guiying pursed her lips. "Let's go find Chengcheng together."
"Mom, something doesn't seem right?"
Xu Guiying: "Let's go look for it first."
Song Xinfu hadn't returned yet; the bicycle was with him, so Xu Guiying went to borrow Lao Sun's bicycle.
Seeing that things were not going well, Song Anmin quickly went home, got his uncle's bicycle, and went with him.
The search continued until 9 p.m. When they asked the school gatekeeper, there were no more elementary school students at the school. Zhuo Huai then went to the homes of several of Chengcheng's close friends.
One of them was named Tongtong. She walked home from school with Chengcheng every day. They would separate when they got near the night market.
Tongtong said they parted ways near the night market.
"Auntie, hasn't Chengcheng come home yet?"
Zhuo Huai was almost in tears, "No."
Song Yangmin first comforted her, "Sister Zhuo Huai, let's look around the park again. If we don't find anyone, we'll call the police."
All the way from Heping Lane to the primary school and then to Tongtong's home, Zhuo Huai kept calling Zhuo Chengcheng's name, but there was no response.
When Xu Guiying and the others arrived, they met at the park.
"Is no one here yet?"
Zhuo Huai cried anxiously, "Nobody's here! When I find her, I'll beat her to a pulp!"
Xu Guiying quickly said, "Let's go call the police first."
Zhuo Huai: "Yes, yes, call the police."
Zhuo Huai rode his bicycle forward.
Xu Guiying frowned and asked the third brother, "Song Anmin, when you went to the police station with Zheng Guangping and the others today, did the police say anything?"
"No, it's just normal paperwork," Song Anmin said suspiciously. "Mom, you don't suspect them, do you? If there were really something wrong, the police would have found out, right..."
Found nothing!
Song Yangmin frowned. "If they have no criminal record or have never been suspected, the police will of course not find anything suspicious."
They will only treat them as ordinary people.
