Unaware of the Cheng siblings' thoughts, Su He and her companion began preparing dinner after the two left.
That evening, the Lin family cooked dumplings and prepared a sumptuous meal, which the whole family enjoyed very much.
This is Su He's first New Year since marrying into the Su family, and Lin's mother wants her to have a better life.
After dinner, the family sat together and chatted for a while, but since everyone had to go to work the next day, they didn't stay up all night and went to bed early.
The next morning, after breakfast, the family members went to work separately.
Although there was no holiday, the atmosphere on the streets was clearly festive for the Chinese New Year.
When I arrived at work, my colleagues were all very happy. After exchanging New Year's greetings, we continued working.
This year, Su He won't be able to visit each other's homes for the New Year as usual, so she's thinking of going back to her family home during the holiday.
However, they thought the police station would be quiet during the Lunar New Year holiday, but unexpectedly, a report came to the station at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It's a missing person case; a child is missing. According to the person who reported the case, who is also the child's father, their child went out to play yesterday and never came back.
He had already searched and asked everyone he knew, but they all said they hadn't seen the child, so he came to report the case.
When his colleagues heard about this, they took it seriously and quickly learned more about the situation from him. Then they took the initiative to go out and help him find the person.
Of course, Su He was kept on duty at the police station because of her pregnancy.
However, these people didn't return until just before the end of the workday in the afternoon.
"So? Did you find it?"
Team Leader Yu shook his head. "No, we've been to almost every place he could go today, but we haven't seen him."
Su He frowned upon hearing this. "Could it be human trafficking?"
Team Leader Yu sighed as well, "It's very likely!"
"But we were cracking down so hard before the New Year, how could anyone still dare to do this!"
At this moment, Wang Fugui, no longer with his usual joking demeanor, said seriously, "Human traffickers don't care about these things. When I was helping out in Dongcheng, the head of the human traffickers I met was actually a seventy-year-old woman. That old lady had no children and probably wouldn't live much longer. I really don't know what she was after. She's heartless. Now she's all alone, which is probably her retribution."
"Why."
Su He sighed upon hearing this, "So it's really possible that Zhu Peng was abducted by human traffickers?"
Zhu Peng is the boy who got lost.
Team Leader Yu nodded. "Very likely. According to the children who played with him, they parted ways around 4 p.m., and Zhu Peng went home by himself. He has been missing ever since. He was probably taken away by human traffickers, or something bad happened to him."
However, they still hoped it was the former, since at least then the person would still be alive.
Su He frowned even more upon hearing this. "I didn't expect there to actually be human traffickers in our district?"
"It might not be from our district; it could be from another district that has moved here. In any case, we must not let our guard down and continue to investigate."
“Okay,” the others agreed.
But since this matter is so vague and unresolved, it's still difficult to investigate.
After getting off work, Su He was still thinking about this matter when Lin Jingyan, who came to pick her up, saw her like this and became a little worried.
"What's wrong?"
Su He shook her head. "It's nothing, I just encountered a rather difficult case."
Lin Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "It's alright. Every case is solved little by little. Take it slow."
"Okay!" Su He stopped thinking about it. "Should we go back to the tenement or to Mom and Dad's today?"
"My sister and brother-in-law should be coming back to see Su's parents today."
"good!"
