All this time, Zai Xi didn't know the fact that he didn't have a father. Qiao Xinwei made him up with a father who was busy working to support his family.
In order to give Zai Xi a better life, Dad has been traveling on business. He is very busy every day. Dad works alone in other places. When he is sick, there is no one to take care of him. When he is sad, there is no one to comfort him. When he is happy, there is no one to share with him. Dad has to bear all this.
All for Zai Xi.
"I have a father, and my father is very powerful. He went to other people's homes to check the electric meters. In fact, he went to catch the bad guys. My father said to check the electric meters, and the bad guys opened the door. As soon as the door opened, my father rushed in and caught the bad guys.
." Zai Xi said while gesturing with his hands, his eyes shining, and his face full of pride.
Jiang Hao knew that Qiao Xinwei taught him these things, and he looked at Qiao Xinwei with emotion.
And Qiao Xinwei felt so embarrassed. I didn't teach my children this to please you. I just didn't want my children to feel that they were different from other children.
"Oh? Your father is so powerful?!"
"Yes, yes."
"Have Xi Bao met his father?"
Zai Xi suddenly stopped smiling and became a little sad. The child's expression was not fake at all. He felt sad, couldn't smile on his face, and his tone became lower, "No, I haven't seen Dad."
Zai Xi played with the windmill leaves melancholy and said, "Dad is too busy and has no time to come home and let me see it."
Qiao Xinwei stopped her and said, "Don't ask anymore."
Jiang Hao knew it well, and he said to Zai Xi: "Your father must miss you and your mother very much."
"Really?"
"Of course, dad always dreams about hearing Xi Bao call daddy."
"Then why doesn't he come back? Can't he just work here?"
Jiang Hao said sincerely: "Because dad also has his own difficulties, he feels very sorry that he can't grow up with Xi Bao, but dad loves Xi Bao very much, and Xi Bao will wait for his father to come back."
"Well, when will dad come back?"
Jiang Hao pointed at Qiao Xinwei, "It depends on when mom allows dad to come back."
Qiao Xinwei paused, okay, are you pointing the finger at me? She said angrily: "Jiang Hao, what are you talking about? You don't want to teach your children this, you..." However, she saw what Xi Bao was looking forward to.
She couldn't get angry in front of her child, "Xi Bao, mom, hold me."
Qiao Xinwei held Zai Xi, and no scenery nearby could divert the child's attention. Zai Xi kept staring at her with expectant eyes, "Mom, mom, when will you let dad come back?"
"??" Qiao Xinwei was speechless. Who said children are ignorant? In fact, children understand and are very sensitive. She glared at Jiang Hao resentfully, feeling extremely uncomfortable, "When Xi Bao grows up,
, daddy is back."
Zai Xi blinked his eyes and became even more confused. He turned to blow the windmill and muttered, "The windmill spins quickly. I want to grow up quickly. Dad will come home early."
This is the child's biggest and simplest wish.
Under the street lights, Qiao Xinwei walked in front with her child in her arms, while Jiang Hao followed silently. He reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to stop the overflowing tears from flowing out.
He felt sorry for the child and even more for the child's mother.
——
Hong Chunyan and his group were detained for three days and were not allowed to visit or be released on bail.
Jiang Hao contacted Officer Ma. Officer Ma was responsible for combating pornography in the capital, and Officer Ma was very familiar with Shen Dahai's nightclub.
After receiving the news, Officer Ma didn't waste a moment and came down quickly.
At the police station, Jiang Hao handed over the cellphone recording of that night to Officer Ma. It was obvious that Sister Pan should be the manager of this gang, and from their words, it can be guessed that the reason why they were able to survive the anti-pornography operation was
The reason for quitting was mainly because Sister Pan had a reliable source of information.
"Who is Mr. Jin she is talking about?" Jiang Hao asked, "Are there any comrades named Jin in your anti-pornography team?"
Officer Ma said solemnly: "Yes, there are, but they are not old."
"Maybe it's just a code name. There is a traitor in your police force."
Officer Ma felt a panic. He said truthfully: "Chief Jiang, to tell you the truth, I have long thought that there is a traitor in our police force. This recording only proves this once again, but this traitor is hidden so well. I
I can’t find it.”
Jiang Hao thought about it again and again and said: "Catching the traitor is the most difficult thing. If you don't do it well, it will disturb the morale of the army. Don't be anxious."
Now Jiang Hao is already a well-known hero in their system, and everyone knows that he is on holiday at the moment. Officer Ma said sheepishly: "Chief Jiang, you still ask you to investigate the case while you are on holiday. I can't explain it."
"I just happened to meet them. I was looking for a hotel to stay that night. Who knew I met them? Since you saw them, you can't pretend you didn't see them. But you still have to investigate this case yourself. I want to protect my family now.
Great effort.”
Officer Ma nodded, "Why, you haven't coaxed your wife yet? The case has been solved and the misunderstanding has been resolved. She should understand you."
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "She understands me, but it also takes time. After all, I hurt her too deeply."
Officer Ma patted him on the shoulder and said: "Chief Jiang, I, Ma, have been working as a police officer for most of my life. There are only a few people I can truly admire, and you are one of them. If I were you, I would sacrifice my family."
, I definitely can’t hurt my lover. So I admire you, many of us admire you, you are the one who truly sacrifices your family for everyone.”
Jiang Hao was quite relieved to get the affirmation, but today we were here to talk about business matters, so we won’t talk about private matters. He brought the topic back up and said, "Officer Ma, their hideout is now this hotel.
People are released after being locked up for three days, what do you think?"
Officer Ma solemnly said: "If I guessed correctly, this prostitution den was a missed opportunity in the anti-pornography operation in the capital city. As soon as we entered the Mingdu nightclub, the place was empty. I was puzzled. All plans were deployed.
We were waiting for them to open for business after dark and we went to catch the scene, but unexpectedly we came up empty."
Officer Ma opened the prepared notebook and found a photo in it. He pointed at the photo and asked, "Do you think it's this person?"
Jiang Hao took one look and said with certainty: "It's her, Sister Pan." Although there was insufficient light that night, you can be sure with great confidence based on his years of insight into solving crimes.
"This Sister Pan, whose full name is Sophie Pan, is a well-known madam in this industry. She is also a prostitute who specializes in introducing sex services to high-ranking officials and bosses. The important chess piece in her hand is not the ladies, but entertainment.
The stars in the film industry range from the most popular to the unknown and unknown, and even worse, some college students are involved."
Jiang Hao frowned. He originally thought he had just bumped into an ordinary prostitution spot, but he didn't expect it to be a big tiger hiding well.
Jiang Hao sighed, "Then she has a lot of connections."
"No, she has a roster in her hand. Isn't the government currently engaged in anti-corruption? In fact, anti-corruption and anti-pornography are closely linked in many places. To trip up big corruption, we have to start with women."
"So, the roster in Sister Pan's hands is an important clue."
"Yes, now I finally found their hiding place. I don't want to alert them, so I can only keep an eye on them first and do whatever else I need to do."
When Jiang Hao saw that the time was almost up, he said, "Okay, let's hold off for now. I'll be in Linzhou these days. Call me if you need anything."
"Well, thank you very much, Chief Jiang."
——
Jiang Hao came to the nursery and heard from Aunt Qin that Qiao Xinwei worked in the library and Zai Xi was in this nursery.
He walked in. The nursery was two stores together, separated by glass. One side was the children's activity area, and the other side was a store selling baby products.
Rather than saying it is a nursery, it is more appropriate to call it a nursery store.
Jiang Hao took a look, and there was a middle-aged woman and a little girl here. The little girl looked at the store, and the middle-aged woman looked at the children.
The children were playing in a small place. Some of them looked very young. They were sitting in strollers and were given toys to play with. No one cared about them when they cried or peed.
Jiang Hao was very worried. There was nothing here, just two women, and their safety was not guaranteed. Is the child okay here?
When the little girl saw someone coming, a handsome and upright man, she immediately stood up to receive him, "What do you want to buy, sir?"
Jiang Hao pointed to the side, "I'm here to pick up the child."
"Oh," the little girl felt inexplicably disappointed, "whose parent are you?"
"Xi Bao."
"Is this Qiao Zaixi?"
"yes."
The little girl shouted inside: "Mom, someone is picking up Qiao Zaixi."
At the same time, Zai Xi had already seen Jiang Hao running out by himself, "Uncle, uncle."
Although the nursery is not formal enough, it is still not allowed to pick up children casually. The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Hello, sir, we must obtain the consent of the parents of the children when we pick up children here."
Jiang Hao nodded, "Well, it should be like this. I have Qiao Xinwei's phone number. I'll call her."
The little girl kept looking at Jiang Hao. When his eyes came over, she turned away. She had never seen such a handsome and temperamental man in real life. She was instantly attracted to him.
The middle-aged woman also noticed her daughter's strangeness, and quickly waved her hand in front of her eyes and whispered: "Sit over there. If you can't sit still, just wipe the counter."
The call was quickly connected. Qiao Xinwei was quite angry, but finally allowed him to answer the call, "Jiang Hao, how did you find it there? I warned you not to mess around, so I brought you to the library.
Don’t go anywhere.”
"Okay, let's take it to the library."
Jiang Hao's tone of voice was kind and patient, and his voice was pleasant. The little girl was stunned and couldn't move her feet or move her eyes.
Jiang Hao also felt the strange look in the little girl's eyes, and quickly picked up Zai Xi and said, "Then I will take the child away, Xi Bao, let's go find mom."
This is the first time Jiang Hao has come to pick up his children, and it is also the first time he has come to where Qiao Xinwei works.
