The welfare home is the key area of this work, and it is also a place that Gu Chen, the Furong branch where he works at, often visits.
Every once in a while, the Furong Branch will send a lot of daily necessities to the elderly and disabled people here, so that they can feel the care from the police station.
Therefore, the arrival of colleagues from Hong Kong City can do these things right at once.
Returning to the assault vehicle, everyone took vegetables, fruits, and many daily necessities and drove directly to Xiahe Welfare Institute.
This area is on the outskirts of the city. As the roads are in the repair and reconstruction stage, the surrounding buildings are also being renovated in dilapidated condition.
Therefore, many indigenous residents choose to relocate temporarily.
Xiahe Welfare Institute is located in the center of these areas.
Since the new welfare home has not yet been built, many elderly people have to live here temporarily.
Everyone sits in the yard every day, and when they look up, they can see the ruins outside and various construction vehicles passing by.
Of course, the community is also urging the construction of the new site to be completed so that these elderly people can move out of this bad area as soon as possible.
The assault vehicle parked steadily at the entrance of the welfare home. A staff member immediately walked out of the door and smiled at Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, I haven't seen you for several days."
"Sister Zhao, are you all okay?" After Gu Chen got off the car, he shook hands with the staff here, Sister Zhao, and exchanged a few words.
Sister Zhao smiled lightly and said: "Look at the surrounding environment, how much better can it be?"
"This place is buzzing during the day and banging at night. The old people are so noisy that they can't sleep. I negotiate with these people on the construction site every day, but it's useless. They say they have to hurry up. After all, the infrastructure construction maniacs are working hard.
All it takes is time.”
"That's quite troublesome." Gu Chen also knew that Xiahe Orphanage was in an awkward position.
The main reason is that there was no coordination between various departments before, and the construction of the new location of the welfare home was delayed, which delayed the time.
This led to the start of housing reforms and road repairs, and the orphanage, which was supposed to be demolished, was temporarily preserved.
Glancing at Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei behind Gu Chen, Sister Zhao was stunned and weakly asked Gu Chen: "By the way, Gu Chen, who are these two?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Gu Chen was just busy communicating with Sister Zhao and forgot to introduce his two Hong Kong colleagues.
So he quickly said: "This is Hong Kong City EU Stormtrooper Trainee Inspector Liu Jiaju."
"Hello, please give me your advice." Liu Jiaju shook hands with Sister Zhao politely.
"Hello, hello, it turns out we are the police from Hong Kong City. We are really a rare visitor."
Seeing this, Gu Chen introduced Chen Huimei again: "This is also Chen Huimei, a senior police officer of the EU Stormtroopers in Hong Kong City."
"Hello, Sister Zhao." Chen Huimei said in less than standard Mandarin.
Sister Zhao was stunned, but she was telling lies without conscience. She couldn't help but joked: "Oh, this female police officer speaks Mandarin really well."
"Pfft, haha." Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted directly: "Sister Zhao, if you don't praise people like this, they will be shy if you talk like this."
"My Mandarin is not very good, but I am still studying hard." Chen Huimei knew how much she weighed and smiled awkwardly.
Sister Zhao waved her hand: "What you said is very good. At least I can understand it."
"Sister Zhao, don't let everyone stand at the door." During the conversation, Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun also came over.
The two of them are also old acquaintances with Xiahe Welfare Home.
When Gu Chen came here to offer condolences, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also came here frequently, so they were also very familiar with Sister Zhao.
When talking to acquaintances, there is no need to be too polite.
Sister Zhao said: "I was busy chatting with you just now, and I didn't even know to invite you in. Hurry up, go in and sit down, and I'll pour you a few cups of tea first."
"No, let's move things first. This time I brought a lot of vegetables and daily necessities to your welfare home. Let's unload the truck first," said Officer Wang.
Sister Zhao thought: "That's okay."
Everyone immediately became busy and unloaded the items on the car one by one.
In particular, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also took the initiative to join the group of moving goods.
Photographer Wu Jun captured all this.
After completing a series of operations, many old people who were playing chess, watching TV and chatting in the house also went out one after another to greet Gu Chen and others.
Gu Chen is very popular in Xiahe Welfare Institution and is a favorite of many elderly people.
Therefore, when they saw Gu Chen's arrival, the old people who had looked depressed before would immediately gather around and chat with Gu Chen as if they were relatives who came to visit them.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were responsible for putting the dishes into the kitchen, preparing to cook a delicious meal for the elderly here with Sister Zhao in the evening.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, along with Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei, chatted with the elderly and introduced these two Hong Kong colleagues to everyone.
Everything is getting along well.
Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun are also enjoying shooting materials and interviews.
But after Gu Chen glanced around, he found that his old friend Uncle He was not there, which made Gu Chen a little confused.
So Gu Chen directly asked Uncle Zhang in front of him: "Uncle Zhang, where is Uncle He? I remember that every time I come to Xiahe Orphanage, Uncle He has the loudest voice, but why haven't I seen anyone today?"
"Damn it, my son is missing." Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said, showing his dentures.
"My son is missing?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, a little confused.
Although Uncle He was sent to the orphanage, he was usually warm-hearted and often helped Sister Zhao manage the daily work of the orphanage.
Therefore, others made fun of Uncle He. They came to the orphanage to enjoy being served by others, but he, Uncle He, came to the orphanage purely to serve others.
It is precisely because of the presence of Mr. He that Xiahe Welfare Home becomes very lively.
But with Uncle He away, it's no wonder that Xiahe Welfare Home has lost its former vitality.
Hearing what Uncle Zhang said, Liu Jiaju was also curious and asked: "How did Uncle He's son disappear?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "I don't know. His son works in the development zone and returns home every three days. He wants to come here to see his old man."
"But the strange thing is that just some time ago, his son disappeared quietly and never came to the orphanage to see him again."
"And when Old Man He called his son, he turned off his phone and couldn't get through. Do you think this is strange?"
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Weiwei also felt a little strange.
She knew something about Uncle He and his son.
Uncle He has two sons. The eldest son is married and lives out of town, and the younger son works in a local development zone.
His lover died of illness two years ago, and in the past six months, his legs and feet have begun to suffer.
In order not to hinder his younger son's work, he took the initiative to live in an orphanage.
The younger son is also conscientious and has to drive home every three days to visit his father in the orphanage.
This matter has always been something that Uncle He is proud of, and he often shows it off to his old friends in the welfare home.
But his son suddenly disappeared like this, which inevitably made Uncle He a little anxious.
After understanding the general situation, Gu Chen asked again: "So Uncle He went out to look for his son?"
"Yes, I've been gone for several days. Everyone misses him so much. They all say that without him, Xiahe Orphanage would have no soul."
Uncle Zhang also felt a little sorry when he mentioned Uncle He.
Chen Huimei was a little puzzled, so she asked Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, you said that Uncle He's youngest son is missing and the phone cannot be reached. Could it be that his phone was stolen and the company worked overtime? Is this possible?
?”
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, in the past, his youngest son would work overtime at the company, but he would always say hello to Mr. He on the phone in advance."
"After all, there is a tacit understanding between the two of them when his son will come to Xiahe Orphanage. If he doesn't come, his son will tell him in advance."
"But the strange thing this time is that there is neither a phone call nor a message."
"I was really in a hurry a few days ago, so I asked a driver who went to his younger son's company to bring goods to ask about his son's situation."
"But the news that the driver brought made Mr. He completely confused."
"What's going on?" After hearing what Uncle Zhang said, Liu Jiaju became a little uneasy.
Uncle Zhang said: "The driver called the welfare home and said that Old Man He's son had lost contact with him since he left the company."
"Not only is Old Man He looking for him, but also people from his company are looking for him. And that day happened to be the day when his son came to the orphanage to see him. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"Did something happen?" Bai Xiaolan heard this and felt that new interview materials were available again.
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "We can't say for sure, but everyone was discussing it privately in those days."
"After all, his son, Old Man He, just disappeared out of thin air and couldn't get through on the phone. Could it be that something happened?"
"But even if something happens, at least where is the person? But the key is that the person can't be found, why is the old man so anxious."
"You know, in Xiahe Welfare Institution, his youngest son is his only sustenance. We all say that things are strange. Maybe his youngest son is no longer alive."
I heard what Uncle Zhang said.
Liu Jiaju, Chen Huimei, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan were stunned at the same time.
Do you think there is such a mysterious thing?
Gu Chen said: "Then why didn't you call the police?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "It seems that the police have been called, and people have come over from the police station, but they can't seem to find any clues. Let Mr. He wait and see. If they haven't found anyone in a few days, then they can come and take a look.
look."
"But as you all know, Old Man He is very impatient. He packed up his luggage alone that day and went out to look for his son. He hasn't come back yet."
"How many days have you been here?" Gu Chen asked.
Uncle Zhang counted on his fingers: "Okay...it seems to be three days."
"Then do you know where Uncle He's house is?" Gu Chen asked again.
Uncle Zhang shook his head and pointed at Sister Zhao who was helping in the kitchen: "Xiao Zhao knows, she has the address."
"Thank you." Gu Chen quickly stood up and walked to the kitchen to find Sister Zhao.
At this moment, Sister Zhao is sorting the purchased vegetables and fruits with Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
Seeing Gu Chen coming over, Sister Zhao also smiled and said: "Gu Chen, you bought so many things this time. What a waste. These things will easily break if kept for a long time, and you won't be able to finish them all."
"It's okay, keep it and eat it slowly." Gu Chen agreed casually, and then said: "By the way, Sister Zhao, I have something to ask you."
"Say." Sister Zhao turned around and asked while her hands were busy.
Gu Chen got straight to the point and couldn't help but said: "Uncle He's youngest son is missing. Do you know about this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Zhao's hands suddenly paused, and she was stunned, and then she said: "Yes... yes, I know, it's just what happened a few days ago."
"What about Uncle He? Where is he now?" Lu Weiwei also asked.
Sister Zhao said "Oh" and said helplessly: "His son suddenly disappeared, and we were worried about him. We asked him to wait for news in the orphanage, but he couldn't wait any longer and insisted on going out to look for him."
"I said you're not a detective, so don't show off, but Uncle He didn't listen. Even nine oxen can't bring back a stubborn person, so you should go home, right?"
"Then do you know his home address? I want to find him. If he is at home alone, I will take him back to live."
"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Sister Zhao quickly rinsed her hands on the faucet, wiped them on her apron twice, and then walked to the office.
Everyone was not idle either and followed behind them one after another.
Later, Sister Zhao dug out the thick record book in her desk drawer and found the address of Uncle He's home. She gave it to Gu Chen and said, "This is his home address. Please record it."
Without saying a word, Gu Chen took out his cell phone, took a photo of the message, and then said, "Then I'll go find Uncle He."
"I'll go too." Lu Weiwei said.
Seeing this, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei followed closely behind.
Sister Zhao reminded: "Then no matter whether you find him or not, remember to come here for dinner."
"Got it." Gu Chen waved his hand and got directly into the assault vehicle.
Lu Weiwei, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also got on the bus.
Everyone started their vehicles and drove directly towards Uncle He's home.
Gu Chen knew that Uncle He had a stubborn temper. If his missing son was not found, he probably would not come back.
But Uncle He's legs and feet are not very good. If he is left alone at home for several days without anyone to take care of him, Gu Chen is afraid that something will happen to him.
But it's strange to say that the youngest son who used to come to Xiahe Welfare Institution to see Uncle He every three days, why did he suddenly and quietly disappear?
Gu Chen had an ominous premonition.
…
…
The vehicle drove on suburban roads for 20 minutes and was about to arrive at Uncle He's home.
Uncle He's family lived in a three-story building near the highway, but when the car drove to the gate, Gu Chen found that the gate was closed and no one seemed to be home.
Judging from the address information and house number taken by the mobile phone, there is nothing wrong.
Gu Chen simply pulled the handbrake, got out of the car, and walked up to knock on the door with everyone else.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Gu Chen knocked three times and shouted, "Is Uncle He at home?"
No one responded in the room...
Then Gu Chen knocked three times and announced his doorstep: "Uncle He, I am Gu Chen."
This time, Gu Chen used his master's observation skills and clearly heard a movement of people getting up from their seats in the room.
Gu Chen quickly asked: "Is it Uncle He? I'm Gu Chen. If you are at home, can you please open the door?"
This time, there was clearly a faint sound of footsteps coming from inside the house.
It seemed like he was wearing slippers, dragging a trail of movement on the ground.
The sound got closer and closer, and Gu Chen simply took a step back.
At this moment, there was only a "click" of the door lock, and a haggard old man stuck his head out to take a look.
Only then did Gu Chen realize that this person was exactly the Uncle He he was looking for.
But the Uncle He who is so thin now is completely different from the positive and eloquent Uncle He he knew back then.
The Uncle He I first met was healthy and full of energy.
But look at Uncle He now. He is thin, depressed, and has not even shaved his beard for several days.
The whole person looks like a melancholic patient, and his eyes are horribly dull.
"Gu Chen?" Uncle He finally spoke and couldn't help but wipe his bloodshot eyes.
Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked Uncle He: "Uncle He, what's wrong with you? Why are you at home alone?"
Uncle He blinked his dry eyes and pretended to be calm: "My little son hasn't been home for several days. I'm worried. I don't know where he has gone. So, I want to wait for him at home."
"Then you have been at home alone these days?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but become nervous after hearing what Uncle He said.
Uncle He nodded slightly and said with some difficulty: "Yes, I have been at home alone these days."
Gu Chen looked up and down the somewhat thin Uncle He, and asked him with concern: "What have you eaten these past few days? You look so thin, your legs and feet are weak, and you are alone at home with no one to take care of you.
Okay?"
Seeing that Uncle He was struggling to stand, Gu Chen quickly helped him and sat inside the house.
Then he went to the kitchen and checked the stove and found that it had not been used at all.
When I returned to the living room, I only found some bread packaging in the trash can.
Gu Chen immediately asked him: "Uncle He, don't tell me, you just eat bread these days?"
Uncle He didn't deny it, and nodded directly: "My son is gone, I can't eat, and I can't sleep well until he comes home."
"Aren't you kidding?" I feel like Uncle He is just self-abuse.
Lu Weiwei also couldn't stand it anymore.
After all, this old man is old, his legs and feet are weak, and no one has given him food yet.
Just staying at home alone, waiting stupidly for my son who doesn't know when he will come home.
If Gu Chen hadn't led everyone to knock on the door, no one would have known that Uncle He had starved to death at home.
It's a little scary to think about it.
Gu Chen didn't care too much and quickly returned to the car, got the police water bottle he carried with him, and gave Uncle He some water to drink first.
Then he briefly checked Uncle He's physical condition and found that he was just malnourished. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle He, you'd better come back to the orphanage with us. You will starve to death at home."
Uncle He shook his head with a dull look: "My son hasn't come home, so I have to wait here for him."
"Then if your son doesn't come back, won't you have to sit here all the time?"
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly made a silent sign language to indicate not to irritate Uncle He.
Gu Chen could tell that Uncle He was obviously suffering from some mental problems. In addition, he had been relying on bread to satisfy his hunger for several days, which showed that there was also a problem with his physical condition.
If you don't take a good rest and eat some nutritious food to supplement your health, you may have to go to the hospital.
Thinking that Uncle He was a little reluctant to leave, Gu Chen then said: "Uncle He, do you think this is going to work? Come back to the orphanage with us first, eat and drink well, and settle down."
"Do you think it's okay for us to help you handle the matter of your son's disappearance?"
As soon as he heard that Gu Chen wanted to help him find his son, Uncle He, who had been dull-eyed just now, suddenly stared: "Do you mean what you say?"
