under the spotlight

Chapter 274
Although he had made the decision to resign, he was still full of reluctance. After a whole morning of suffering, Lu Beicen finally typed out the resignation letter. It was a simple one-page paper, but he wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote again, as if Thousands of words, in the end, only the simplest language, the simplest reason, and personal reasons were used. These four words buried all the inner turmoil and reluctance.

Today, Lu Beicen was going to write the last article in his career as a reporter, and it was also a case that left a deep impression on her.

When Zhang Ying was 15 years old, her life changed drastically.

First, her father, who loved her the most, was taken away by the torrent because of flood fighting, and was buried in an empty urn as if she had never been in this world.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ying's mother, Han Li, remarried within a few years, and brought her to Huxia from a small county.Zhang Ying also transferred schools accordingly, and came to a school in an urban-rural fringe area that was incomparable to before.

This year, Zhang Ying was in the third grade of junior high school. A girl with excellent academic performance, she was uncomfortable in various ways in an unfamiliar environment.The family where the mother remarried had a boy who was one year older than her. The boy almost hated their mother and daughter, and told her nakedly that her mother had had an affair with his father a long time ago, and even his parents divorced because of her mother. Caused.

The letters she exchanged, and the photos of her mother and his father when they were young, were directly placed in front of Zhang Ying by that boy. A girl of this age is extremely sensitive. Looking back on the past, all the disharmony between her parents, and the mother's indifference towards herself and her father , are fully explained.

Zhang Ying is a very smart girl, who inherited her father's gene of being able to study, and had good grades, but such cruel things made her also full of hatred for her mother and this new family.

In the girl's sensitive heart, she thought about these things thousands of times. After a long time, she would even blame her father's untimely death on her mother's infidelity to her father.

She didn't want to go home. To be precise, she didn't think it was her home. Of course, her situation was also very bad. At such a time, a boy named Ah Jun gave her a lot of warmth.

Ah Jun is a child from a nearby village in the city. He is three or four years older than Zhang Ying. He stopped studying a long time ago and has no job. He used his house to open a video studio.There are several schools nearby, including colleges and technical secondary schools, and the business of the video hall is not bad.

Ah Jun's social relationship is actually quite complicated, but no matter what, he is really kind to Zhang Ying. After the two of them knew each other for about a year or two, at that time, the relationship between Zhang Ying and Han Li was already at the same level. Ah Jun He simply rented a house for Zhang Ying and asked her to move out to live, and the school has long since become a thing of the past.

After Zhang Ying and Ah Jun got acquainted, they helped him with ideas, rented some vacant houses, and opened several Internet cafes and game halls around them, making the business booming.The city of Huxia is very large, and there are many colleges and universities. Under Zhang Ying’s suggestion, Ah Jun relied on these colleges to copy the experience of opening Internet cafes. There are many kinds of Internet cafes. At most, he opened thirty or forty Internet cafes for games. Hall, and fed a large group of brothers with him.

In the mixed environment, Ah Jun and his gang also offended many people.When Zhang Ying was 20 years old, Ah Jun had a serious car accident while riding a motorcycle, and was hit and killed by a large truck on the spot.

Ah Jun's brothers are still very kind to Zhang Ying, and they don't know what kind of crisis they smelled, which made her leave Huxia urgently.

It took five or six years for Zhang Ying to leave like this, and when she returned to Huxia, everything was calm, and the party that was against Ah Jun back then was all arrested.Of course, the brilliance that Ajun once created no longer exists.

Ah Jun's former brothers also have their own families and lives. Although they take care of Zhang Ying a lot, they are only help among friends.

Zhang Ying has some savings, and opened a beauty shop on the street, living alone, neither good nor bad.

Until one day, Zhang Ying met a man at the breakfast shop next door to her beauty store, and she was almost petrified. In her eyes, he was a 30-year-old version of Ah Jun.

Zhang Ying worked hard to get to know this 30-year-old version of Ah Jun. His name is Lei Hang, he lives in a unit dormitory behind this row of facades, and works in a public institution.

Zhang Ying herself is very beautiful, she can dress well, and she is also smart. Although she doesn't have a stable job, her shop is doing well, she is generous and enthusiastic, and she is very kind to Lei Hang.

The two quickly fell in love, and Zhang Ying would show them Lei Hang's photos whenever she met A Jun's former brothers, and said happily that she had found A Jun back.

Those people were actually very moved by Zhang Ying's nostalgia. Although they wanted to persuade her to forget the past and start a new life, seeing how devoted she was, she seemed to be quite happy, so they didn't persuade her much.

Then, a year or two later, the street where Zhang Ying opened her shop was widened and rebuilt, and her shop never opened again.

At the beginning of this year, several uninvited guests came to Han Li's house suddenly and came to beg for their son. There was a lot of trouble at Han Li's house, saying that Zhang Ying had taken the child away secretly.

Han Li is really baffled, she doesn't know how these people came to the door, because in the years when Zhang Ying disappeared, they bought Han Li's unit and moved. Zhang Ying must not know the address of this new home. Because she didn't even know about Han Li's new unit, it was Han Li's later husband, Pan Weiqiang, who spent a lot of energy to help her solve the work problem.

After all, Pan Weiqiang calmed down and suppressed those people before he asked the reason.

It turned out that in the years when Zhang Ying disappeared suddenly, he went around in circles. He met Qian Jiping from a factory in Guangnan, and Qian Jiping started a crazy pursuit of Zhang Ying. Probably because it was too lonely to be alone in a foreign land, so she fell in love with Qian Jiping.

Later, the two returned to Beijiang Province, Qian Jiping's hometown, and started a clothing business. Zhang Ying also gave birth to a son for Qian Jiping, because they were too busy to do business and take care of the child. He bought a house and brought the Qian family's parents to take care of the children.

According to Qian Jiping, because of Zhang Ying's willfulness, the family doesn't know how to do housework, doesn't breastfeed the child, and is picky about his parents in every possible way, and often stumbles, but that's the way of life in any family, it's no big deal.

But suddenly one day, Zhang Ying disappeared. Taking advantage of no one at home, she took away most of her belongings and half of the joint savings of the two, and left a letter saying that she could not bear this kind of life, expressing that she I will not come back again, and tell Qian Jiping not to look for her again.

For the sake of the child who just turned one year old, Qian Jiping still wanted to find Zhang Ying, but Qian's mother was not surprised by this kind of thing, saying that there were many such things in their town, all of which were women who married people to cheat money. It is impossible to find it back. Qian Jiping thought about it and found that he really didn't know where to find Zhang Ying. He only heard her say that his parents were dead and he had no relatives...

Of course, these are all what Qian Jiping said. Only his family knows what the truth is, because if he really has no choice, it is impossible for him to come to the door because the child disappeared.

Han Li sneered angrily: "What's the use of you looking for us? In Zhang Ying's heart, my mother is already a dead person. You said that even if she took your child away, she would send it to a dead person to hide? What's more, I don't know how many years I haven't seen her. Who knows if your family killed her, and now the thieves are running here calling for a thief. If you don't get out, I will go to the police and ask the police to help us find our daughter. Then you will be the biggest suspects..."

The two made a lot of hype, and in the end Pan Weiqiang had no choice but to call the police.

After the police arrived, the Qian family explained why they suspected that Zhang Ying had taken the child away. They said that the owner of a canteen on the street in front of their community had seen the child before he disappeared. With a woman, I vaguely heard him calling that woman mother.

Han Li thought that Zhang Ying was dead, but she didn't know that she would get into such trouble for herself. When she was about to get angry, Pan Weiqiang always felt that something was wrong, so he stood up and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you, our daughter is My stepdaughter, she didn't want her mother to marry me back then, and she had a hard time with the family, so she found a boyfriend and moved out a long time ago."

"It's not that we don't want to take care of it. It's just that we can't take care of her affairs. Later, we heard that she went to another place. We don't know the specific situation. It was about five or six years ago. I heard that she came back, but she didn't Come to us, we dare not go to her, it is equivalent to completely losing contact."

"As for the things you said about the owner of the canteen, they are all vague things. I think you must not go in the wrong direction, delay the time, and then you will not be able to find the child. As for our daughter, there is indeed no one. If you don’t believe me, the police comrades can take them to the yard and ask the neighbors and guards to see if any strange women and children have appeared in our house.”

"Of course, if you really think that Zhang Ying took the child away, you can also go to the police..."

The Qian family immediately started bluffing again, which probably meant that they called the police. The police meant that if the mother took the child away, it was a civil dispute and they couldn't handle it. They had to go to the court to sue.

Under such circumstances, Qian Jiping asked someone to find out the address of Zhang Ying's household registration and her parents, and came to the door.

Seeing that the two families quarreled again, the police could only take them to the police station.Pan Weiqiang was still relatively clear-headed, always felt that this incident was a bit weird, so he simply brought out the household registration book at home, Zhang Ying was still on their household registration, and on the way, Pan Weiqiang persuaded Han Li to call the police.

After this alarm, Qian Jiping gave another piece of information, that is, he had actually found Zhang Ying through the alarm procedure in Beijiang Province, and asked someone to check it carefully, and submitted his son's DNA test materials, and contacted Beijiang Province The unidentified dead people in the database have been compared, and there is no real feedback.

At this time, Zhang Ying was completely invisible to life and death, as if he had evaporated from the world.

After the mediation, the Qian family probably also believed that Zhang Ying hadn't come back through the police investigation, and drove back to Beijiang Province overnight. After all, finding the child is the top priority.

The Qian family left, and Han Li was relieved. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't show it too much. However, Pan Weiqiang still felt that something was wrong, so he asked a friend from the criminal police team in the jurisdiction to explain the situation in detail.

The case of disappearance has been filed, and the criminal police team also paid more attention to this situation, so they did a DNA collection for Han Li and compared it with the database of unidentified dead persons in the city. The comparison came out.

This is at the beginning of this year, when a unit was relocated and remodeled, a bone was found in the semi-closed septic tank of the dry toilet that had been abandoned for many years in the yard of the unit. The woman was about 30 years old at the time of death, 165 cm tall, fertile, Three to four years after his death, basically all the information matched Zhang Ying.

The police immediately launched an investigation, and first ruled out the suspicion of Qian Jiping's family, and obtained Zhang Ying's adult photos from Qian Jiping. According to the direction of the investigation, it is speculated that there is a high probability that he was abducted by human traffickers.

After confirming Zhang Ying's death, according to more information provided by Pan Weiqiang and his wife, although the information was only hearsay, they followed the vines and found the home of A Jun's parents. As well as people Zhang Ying is familiar with, most of these people know that Zhang Ying came back to Huxia to open a shop, and fell in love with a man named Lei Hang.

Among them was a neighbor who Jun grew up with, named Heizi, who provided an important clue.He said that Zhang Ying once asked her for help and troubled Lei Hang, which probably meant that Lei Hang wanted to break up with her.Zhang Ying said that she had no choice but to die several times before, and now it was because Lei Hang really looked like A Jun that she felt able to live. If there was no him, she would simply go find A Jun.

Heizi saw that Zhang Ying was pitiful, and thought of his former brother, and Zhang Ying was really good to them in terms of money, so he really went to Lei Hang with two friends to talk about it.Lei Hang was a bit cowardly. Although he hesitated to speak, he still didn't reveal why he broke up with Zhang Ying in the end, but he felt that it should be some problems that men can't tolerate, but he didn't bother to ask about the young couple. .

Under such circumstances, Lei Hang has certain suspicions.Following the clues provided by Heizi, the police began to look for Lei Hang again, and at the same time found some friends of Heizi, Ajun and Zhang Ying to continue to understand the situation.After repeated investigations and inquiries, two of them provided information about helping Zhang Ying find Lei Hang, both about four years ago.

That is to say, together, around that year, Zhang Yinglu found at least four groups of people to scare Lei Hang, and even one person actually did something to him.

But where Lei Hang went and where he works now, none of them knew.
