"Is your father's name Hu Dacheng?"
There was a table made of plywood on the construction site, with several bricks pressing down the legs. At this time, Lao Hu was eating with several other workers. Because the weather was too hot, Lao Hu was shirtless, and his bronze skin looked shiny in the sun. He had just picked up a piece of dried radish with chopsticks and was about to put it in his mouth when he was stunned when he heard Song Xijiao's question.
"Yes, yes, my father's name is Hu Dacheng. How did you know?"
Song Xijiao's eyes flashed, "Is he... still alive?"
When Lao Hu heard this, his face suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and knocked over the stool because he was too anxious.
"Who are you? Do you know anything? My father died twelve years ago. No, he, he disappeared. He has not been seen since then, and his body has not been found."
Song Xijiao felt sad. As expected, Hu Dacheng was really dead.
"Girl, do you know where my father is?"
Old Hu wanted to grab Song Xijiao's hand eagerly, but when he saw that there were still rice grains on his hand, he retracted his hand. After staying on the construction site for a long time, he had long been accustomed to this kind of life and felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I was too impatient and scared you."
"Your father and I used to be neighbors. I heard him talk about you. You were a good student, so why did you come to the construction site?"
Old Hu's face grew even darker. "The year I took the college entrance exam, my father disappeared. My mother cried every day and had to deal with debt collectors. I was afraid she couldn't handle it alone, so I dropped out of school and started working. Coincidentally, a fellow villager had a project contract here, so he brought me here. I've been working here for a few years now."
Song Xijiao smiled. She and Hu Dacheng were neighbors, and she was afraid no one knew about it.
No one will know anymore.
On the way back, the bare road was lined with construction sites on both sides, and there were children running out from the construction sites everywhere. They were all dirty. When they saw Song Xijiao's car, they all stopped and saluted. Some naughty boys even ran after the car, looking at Song Xijiao in the car with envy.
A boy was running too fast and fell down, so Song Xijiao asked the driver to stop the car.
"Go back and drive carefully."
The children burst into laughter and gathered around the car, their eyes wide open with curiosity. Perhaps they had never ridden in a car in their entire lives.
"Miss, you have a really kind heart."
"These children are really pitiful. They are the children of migrant workers on the nearby construction site. To save money, those migrant workers live in their own sheds and are reluctant to leave their children in their hometowns, so they bring them here. But there is no school here, and the children have nothing to do all day, so they just play on the construction site. If something happens, it will be all over."
"Yeah?"
Is she kind-hearted?
Maybe!
She couldn't bear to see her children suffer.
She must have grown up in hardship too!
If you upload more than 40 pornographic videos without the purpose of making a profit, you will be convicted and punished for the crime of disseminating obscene materials.
"Special Assistant Yang, call the police and tell them someone is spreading obscene and pornographic materials in the company group. Ask the police to investigate."
"Okay, Mr. Song."
Yang Peifeng adjusted his glasses, a cold light flashed on the lenses, he pushed his glasses forward, bent his knuckles, and knocked on the table.
“Knock knock knock!”
Three times.
The group became lively again.
"Everyone, I have just called the police. The police will come to the company to investigate immediately. I hope everyone will cooperate with the police investigation."
"Don't panic, we are just cooperating with the investigation. The ones who should be worried are those who spread obscene and pornographic materials."
"If I knew who it was, I would not let him go easily."
Subtext: You are finished, you actually dare to tamper with the Tai Sui.
…
Zhang Yan was very troubled. He was the one who called the police last time Song Xijiao was arrested, and he was the one who called the police again this time. Why did Song Xijiao always cause trouble for him?
"Okay, we'll look into it."
The two came to the secretariat to retrieve the chat history and copied the group member list.
After returning to the police station, we asked the technical department to investigate. For such a small matter, they didn't need to get involved. They could find out who posted the photos in the group and when.
Old Sun, the manager of the archives room, was also a technical backbone of the bureau more than 20 years ago. At this time, he was wearing reading glasses, blew away the tea leaves and took a sip of tea.
"Your photo looks familiar to me!"
With a sip of hot tea in his mouth, Lao Sun's hand suddenly trembled, and the tea flowed down the corners of his mouth without him noticing.
"Photo, this photo, back then..."
…
The top layer of the archive room was covered with a thick layer of dust, which showed that it had not been touched for a long time. Old Sun turned it over with trembling hands and shook off the dust.
“Cough cough cough!”
Zhang Yan was choked by the dust and coughed, "Uncle Sun, what are you looking for? Let me do it."
"No, I...ahem...I can do it myself."
Old Sun pulled out a file from the innermost part. The cover was torn and the corners were curled up. When he opened it, he saw a photo inside.
Twenty-three years ago, on a rainy night, Sun Pengfei received a call from the police. The woman on the other end was sobbing.
"My daughter is missing, she's gone..."
Sun Pengfei has been a criminal policeman for eight years, but this is the first time he has encountered such heavy rain. The wipers can't even clear it up, and the rain is pouring down. Everything in the rain is blurry and unclear. The person who reported the case was a middle-aged woman who was well-dressed and didn't look like the people they usually come into contact with.
In that era, surveillance was not common.
Many cases are solved thanks to the criminal police's keen observation and strong logical reasoning ability.
Two legs, a pair of eyes.
Investigate one case after another.
Sun Pengfei worked as a criminal policeman for eight years and developed a lot of illnesses. When it rained, all the joints in his body ached.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that the child's father slowly returned. The detective's intuition told him that the man must have cheated last night. He had a scent of perfume on him, which was very rare in that era.
"I can't find my daughter. Where did you go last night? I called you and you didn't answer."
"He must have gone out to fool around with some vixen. Your daughter is missing. Did you know?"
"Stop crying, are you annoying?"
The entire corridor was filled with the suppressed crying of women and the impatient roars of men.
The shop owner said that the child was very polite. Every time he passed by this intersection, he would greet her and often come to buy ham sausage, braised eggs, instant noodles...
…
"The snacks were gone when she came back."
This reveals several things.
First, the child often buys food outside.
Second, she definitely couldn't finish it all by herself, but she came back empty-handed. She met an acquaintance and shared the snacks with him. She knew that person very well.
Third, she was out for no more than half an hour. She went out before the shop owner picked up her son and came back after picking up her son. The time interval was very short.
But where did she go in such a short time?
