Hearing this, Rui Xiuying, who was almost unsteady on her feet, suddenly became energetic and looked towards the direction of the trash can.
The dedicated police dog was still barking wildly, and several police officers were surrounding the trash can, rummaging through the remains inside one by one.
"I found the clothes!"
One of them shouted excitedly, holding up a pink children's top full of holes in his hand.
Rui Xiuying recognized it at a glance as the clothes Yijia wore to school today.
Finally, she could no longer control her long-suppressed emotions, and rushed forward regardless of the obstruction of the police around her.
"Yijia!"
she cried desperately.
Fortunately, the officers responded quickly enough and pulled her down.
"Yijia! Yijia..."
The old man who was standing next to her also slowly turned his head away, his eyes fixed on the tattered pink top, and he remained silent for a long time.
............
15 hours after missing.
In Nuoda's living room, many uniformed policemen walked back and forth. Rui Xiuying was sitting on the sofa. She was wearing a light blue top today and no makeup.
It was completely different from her energetic look yesterday. At this moment, her eyes were dull and her expression was stiff, like a living dead.
Seeing her like this, Qian Cheng couldn't say anything more, so he had to get up and leave.
"The guy may call at some time, so you must maintain a high level of tension. Even if you are tired, you must cheer up."
He gave some instructions to the police officer beside him, straightened his clothes, and walked inside.
Not far away stood a tall man, wearing a brown coat, with a few hairs barely visible on his head.
He turned around, and it turned out that this was the old man who stood next to Rui Xiuying yesterday.
"Is she still against it after all?" He looked at Qian Cheng and asked.
"Yes." Qian Cheng nodded and glanced at the sofa again. Rui Xiuying still looked listless, rubbing her hands constantly.
The old man sighed helplessly.
"That's right. Even I have never been able to convince this child of his stubbornness. Alas, I thought that at my age, I could do whatever I wanted with many things."
Qian Cheng looked at the floor, not knowing what to say.
"These idiots! It's been almost a day. It's been such a long time. Even if there are 8 murderers, they should have been caught. Why don't they even have any clues!" He glared at Qian Cheng.
"I'm sorry, but all the police officers responsible for missing cases in the bureau have been transferred here now..."
"Forget it, move them all away."
"Ah? Senior. But..."
An hour later, Yuan Chen and others walked out of the elevator.
"Damn, what does this kind of missing case have to do with us? We were on duty yesterday and there was nothing we could do about it. It's a bit unreasonable to impose such a forced labor today." Hao Weida complained as he walked.
Yuan Chen covered his mouth, and Qian Cheng had already walked towards them.
"Do you know that the team took over this case?"
"I know, let's talk about the situation."
Yuan Chen didn't bother to ask "why". He knew that with Qian Cheng's personality, he must have his own reasons for making such an unreasonable decision. What's more, he actually knew a little bit about the reasons.
"Well, it's been 16 hours now, and the only clue is the clothes the child wore."
"Since it is a disappearance case, why not just open the investigation directly and not disclose the information to the media?"
Yuan Chen's question is reasonable. Generally, when dealing with similar disappearance cases, the identity information of the missing person will be disclosed to the whole society, which is obviously much more efficient.
Qian Cheng shook his head bitterly.
"Because the child's mother objected. She seemed to have heard news that if the kidnapper was provoked, the child would be in more danger."
Yuan Chen snorted coldly.
"However, this statement is not entirely unreasonable. After all, we still don't know what type of criminal the criminal is. That's why I came here specifically to find you now because there is no breakthrough at all."
Yuan Chen nodded and was about to walk into the house, but was held back by Qian Cheng.
"By the way, I need to remind you again who the child's grandfather is. You should have heard about it, right?"
"I heard he was the former deputy director." Yuan Chen answered very calmly.
Although the old man has not been in the world for many years, his influence is still first-class. It is no wonder that even a veteran like Qian Cheng respects him.
"Even if he has become the deputy director, whenever a major case occurs, he will still rush to the scene personally. I can't control him. You know, don't have any conflicts with him. Huh?"
Yuan Chen smiled slightly, turned around and walked in.
In the living room, Qian Sen has sat next to Rui Xiuying. Compared with his haggard appearance, he is quite calm. He is worthy of being someone who has seen big scenes.
"Are these the only people who have conflicts over company matters?" he asked, looking at a form in his hand.
Rui Xiuying still had no intention of speaking, and just nodded mechanically.
"Have you not had a boyfriend recently?" he asked again.
"Do I even have to tell you that kind of thing?" She replied coldly, without even looking at Qian Sen.
"How long has Yijia disappeared? And you went to the police after receiving that horrific video? Do you still think you are qualified to say such nonsense?"
"I will raise the child in my own way. You don't need to worry about it. Besides, you are no longer a policeman."
Qian Sen's lips trembled, and just as he was about to say something, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Yijia's mother is right.
Both of them looked at the man who walked in front of them.
"We understand that you are worried about your child, but as a family member of the victim, it is wrong to participate in the investigation of the case. I think you should understand this." The man smiled.
"Ah, by the way, from now on, I am the person in charge of this case. My name is Yuan Chen."
After Yuan Chen introduced himself, he bowed to Qian Sen politely.
Qian Sen slowly stood up from the sofa and looked directly at Yuan Chen.
"Are you the detective who came back from country M? You are really as courageous as the rumors say!"
Yuan Chen looked into his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
"I won't say much more, but please remember that the core of this case is the safe return of my granddaughter. When there is a conflict between arresting the murderer and the child's life, remember, you must
Put the lives of your children as your top priority.”
"Okay, let me tell you something. From now on until the case is concluded, I am the person in charge in the true sense."
