1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Old Cao's wife, please tell me slowly, what happened?"

The second master shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, auntie, please tell me slowly. Did you really meet someone taking pictures of flowers?" Han Xiuying, who came out to greet her, also hurriedly supported the distraught Cao's auntie.

"Tiezhu, you have to save our family. If the third girl...if we can't save her, we really can't survive. Tiezhu, I can only beg you to come, you have the ability..."

Auntie Cao grabbed Chen Tiezhu's arm.

"Auntie, we must do this. Tell me what happened." Chen Tiezhu comforted her softly.

"Tiezhu, you have to help auntie, auntie can only count on you..." Auntie Cao was still saying what she had just said.

Erye frowned, "This is too exciting, and he's lost his mind. Jianguo, go to their house and see if there are other people."

"I'll go right away."

He Jianguo put on his cotton jacket and ran out.

"Tiezhu, can't there be someone taking pictures of flowers?" Gao Xiaoguang frowned and asked.

"I don't know now, but I feel that something must have happened." Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

He is helpless now. He is a surgeon, not a psychiatrist.

Now Aunt Cao keeps repeating this sentence, and he doesn't know what's going on.

"Tiezhu, I just met Lao Cao, and their third daughter is really missing."

Just as he finished speaking, He Jianguo, who ran out, led Lao Cao in from outside again.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Chen Tiezhu asked hurriedly.

"Hey..., Tiezhu, I was really confused just now. Our third daughter is missing..." Uncle Cao was halfway through his words, and he could only wipe his tears.

"Do you have a photo of the child? I'll go to the brigade and call the bureau now. We'll conduct checks at the train station, bus station, and major intersections." Director Hu asked hurriedly.

"Yes..., but those are all from the past, will they work?" Uncle Cao asked.

"Don't worry about whether they are from the past, just go home and get them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Uncle Jianguo, use the loudspeaker in our village to shout and see whose family is okay now, and follow them to the county to find someone. Leader, can you find a place for everyone to stay tonight?"

"No problem." Gao Xiaoguang frowned and nodded.

Who has the heart to eat now? Finding the child is the most important thing.

He Jianguo shouted in the village with a loudspeaker, and people from every household came out and gathered at the brigade.

Chen Tiezhu and the others also used this time to finally figure out the process of the matter.

The daughter-in-law of the Cao family took the third girl to the county to buy New Year's goods today. Just after buying things, she picked up a gold ingot on the roadside.

Then an old woman came over, and she couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

When she reacted, the third girl had disappeared.

This was a common trick used by the beggars, and they must have used drugs.

"The county bureau has received a report from their family and arranged people in advance. But there is too little information at present, and we don't even know what the other party looks like." Director Hu said with a wry smile.

"Are these beggars so powerful? Can they make people forget what they look like? And it happened in the morning, and it has been four hours now. The hope of finding them back... is not very high."

Hearing his words, everyone's heart "stomped" for a while.

Four hours, even if you walk, you have already walked out of the county. And for such people, they must have their own means of transporting people.

Just as Director Hu said, this time it's really hanging.

"We have to try our best." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

In fact, he also knew that the possibility of finding the child was really too low.

He knew that there were such a group of hateful kidnappers in the world, but he didn't expect that they would be so close to him this time.

Cars, foreign cars, and horse-drawn carriages, all went out. Those who could walk away followed to the county to find the child.

"Master, is this beggar's drug so powerful?"

On the way to the county, Lu Dan asked in confusion.

"What should I say? Just now, I didn't say it directly." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Beggars do have their own drugs. Yingzi and I also encountered people who used drugs on the train. But some people with strong bodies and good foundations are not so easy to be fooled."

"What is the key here? It's because of greed. Didn't you hear that he picked up a gold ingot? Greed was aroused."

"In such a situation, you must find a quiet place. You can't verify it in a crowded place?"

"It is precisely because of this mentality,So it gave criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it. Your greed plus their drugs made it easy to do it. "

"After the incident, some people may have side effects from drugs or stress disorders, so they don't remember what happened so clearly."

"Uncle, do you think the hope of finding the child is really slim?" Qi Cuiwen asked carefully.

"Ah..., it's been too long." Zhou Fengxia, who was driving, took over the conversation.

"But it doesn't mean there is no chance. It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch the criminals in the county. But you can ask around outside, although it is a bit laborious."

"Zhou'er, can you get such news in the provincial capital?" Chen Tiezhu asked hurriedly.

"I haven't known about it before, so I dare not say it. I will try my best to ask." Zhou Fengxia said.

"After all, people who do their jobs are also very hated, and those who are mixed up in the underworld look down on them. So whether we can get news depends on our luck. ”

“That’s because I haven’t met them, otherwise I would have scratched their faces.” Lu Dan said.

“You, don’t think you are smart, you may be kidnapped and sold to the mountains and forests to give birth to children.” Chen Tiezhu said.

“Why do you look down on people so much?” Lu Dan was not happy.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but you people with high education are often kind-hearted.” Chen Tiezhu said.

“Criminals take advantage of your sympathy and ask you to do a small favor. Unknowingly, you will fall into their trap.”

“The beggars don’t just take pictures of children, they also take pictures of young girls and wives. You should be more careful when you are out there in the future and have your own ability to distinguish. "

Lu Dan grinned, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

"But if people dare to buy children because they are young, how can they dare to buy someone as old as me?" Qi Cuiwen said.

"Yes, even if they kidnapped me, I would ask for help." Lu Dan also said.

"Because by then, you won't even have the chance to ask for help." Chen Tiezhu said in a flat tone.

"If you are locked up all the time, can you still abandon the baby after giving birth? Even if you want to run away, everyone in the village is watching you, where can you run to?"

What he said was really flat, but the two girls shuddered when they heard such words.

It turns out that there are still many dark sides of this world that they have never touched...
