I am a super cop

Chapter 1058 Missing Persons
The orphanage is the key area of ​​this work, and it is also the place where Gu Chen's Furong branch often visits.

Every once in a while, the Furong branch will send a lot of daily necessities to the elderly and disabled here, so that they can feel the care from the police station.

Therefore, the arrival of the colleagues from Hong Kong City happened to be able to do these things well at once.

Returning to the assault vehicle, everyone took vegetables, fruits, and a lot of daily necessities and drove directly to Xiahe Welfare Institute.

This area is on the edge of the city. As the roads are being repaired and rebuilt, the surrounding buildings are also being rebuilt as dilapidated buildings.

Therefore, many aborigines choose to relocate temporarily.

The Xiahe Welfare Institute is located in the center of these areas.

Since the new orphanage 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 progress of the new site, so that these elderly people can move out of this terrible area as soon as possible.

The assault vehicle parked steadily at the entrance of the orphanage, and a staff member walked out of the gate immediately, smiling at Gu Chen and saying, "Gu Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Sister Zhao, how are you all?" After Gu Chen got out of the car, he also shook hands with the staff member here, Sister Zhao, and exchanged greetings.

Sister Zhao smiled lightly and said, "Look at the surrounding environment, how can it be better?"

"This place is buzzing during the day and banging at night. The old people can't sleep because of the noise. I negotiate with these people on the construction site every day, but it's useless. They say they need to hurry up. It's time."

"That's quite troublesome." Gu Chen also knew that the Xiahe Welfare Institute was in an awkward position.

The main reason is that there was no coordination among various departments before, and the construction of the new site of the orphanage started late, which delayed the time.

This led to the start of housing reform and road repairs, temporarily retaining the orphanage that was supposed to be demolished.

Glancing at Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei behind Gu Chen, Sister Zhao was stunned, and asked Gu Chen weakly: "By the way, Gu Chen, who are these two?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Gu Chen was busy communicating with Sister Zhao just now, but forgot to introduce the two Hong Kong colleagues.

So he hurriedly said: "This is Liu Jiaju, the trainee inspector of the Hong Kong City EU Stormtrooper."

"Hello, please give me your advice." Liu Jiaju shook hands with Sister Zhao politely.

"Hello, hello, so it's the police from Hong Kong City, what a rare visitor."

Seeing this, Gu Chen introduced Chen Huimei again: "This is also Chen Huimei, a senior police officer of the Hong Kong City EU Stormtrooper."

"Hello, Sister Zhao." Chen Huimei said in substandard Mandarin.

Sister Zhao was stunned, but she was talking nonsense out of conscience, and she couldn't help joking: "Oh, this female police officer speaks Mandarin really well."

"Pfft, haha." Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted directly: "Sister Zhao, don't bring such boastful people. If you talk like that, people will be shy."

"My Mandarin is not very good, but I'm still studying hard." Chen Huimei smiled awkwardly knowing how much she weighed.

Sister Zhao waved her hand: "What you said is already 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 were old acquaintances with the Xiahe Welfare Institute.

When Gu Chen came here to condolences, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also came here, so she is also very familiar with Sister Zhao.

There is no need to be too polite when talking to acquaintances.

Sister Zhao said: "Just now I was busy chatting with you, but I didn't know to invite you in. Hurry up, go in and sit down. 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 orphanage. Unload the car first." Officer Wang said.

Sister Zhao thought for a moment, "That's fine."

Everyone got busy in an instant and unloaded the items on the car one by one.

Especially Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also took the initiative to join the moving group.

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 say hello to Gu Chen and the others.

Gu Chen is very popular in Xiahe Welfare Institute, and he is the favorite of many old people.

Therefore, seeing Gu Chen coming, the old people who were still depressed before would immediately crowd around and chat with Gu Chen as if they were seeing their relatives who came to visit.

Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha are responsible for putting the dishes into the kitchen, and they are going to cook a delicious meal for the elderly here with Sister Zhao at night.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, together with Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei, started a routine with the old people, and introduced these two Hong Kong colleagues to everyone.

Everything gets along very well.

Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun are also enjoying shooting materials and interviewing.

But after Gu Chen glanced around, he found that his old friend Uncle He was not there, which made Gu Chen a little puzzled.

So Gu Chen directly asked Uncle Zhang in front of him: "Uncle Zhang, where did Uncle He go? I remember that Uncle He had the loudest voice every time I came to Xiahe Welfare Institute, but why didn't I see anyone today?"

"Oh, my son is missing." Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, revealing his dentures.

"My son is missing?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, a little confused.

Although Uncle He was sent to the orphanage, he is usually warm-hearted and often helps Sister Zhao manage the daily work of the orphanage.

So other people ridiculed Uncle He, people came to the orphanage to enjoy being served by others, but Uncle He came to the orphanage purely to serve others.

It is precisely because of the existence of Uncle He in Xiahe Welfare Institute that it becomes very lively.

But with Uncle He not here, it's no wonder that the Xiahe Welfare Institute has lost its former vitality.

Hearing Uncle Zhang's remarks, Liu Jiaju was also very curious: "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 him once."

"The strange thing is that just a while ago, his son disappeared without a sound, and he never came to the orphanage to see him again."

"And the old man called his son, but the phone was turned off and he couldn't get through. Do you think this is strange?"

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Weiwei also felt a little strange.

She knows something about Uncle He and his son.

Uncle He has two sons. The eldest son is married and lives in other places, while the youngest son works in a local development zone.

And his lover died of illness as early as two years ago, and in the past six months, he has started to feel bad because of his legs and feet.

In order not to hinder his younger son's work, he took the initiative to live in an orphanage.

And the youngest son is also conscientious, driving home every three days to visit his father in the orphanage.

This matter has always been the capital that Uncle He is proud of, and he often uses it to show off to his old partners in the orphanage.

But the sudden disappearance of his son made Uncle He a little anxious.

After understanding the general situation, Gu Chen asked again: "So Uncle He went out to find his son?"

"That's right, I've been away for several days. Everyone thinks about him, saying that without him, the Xiahe Orphanage has no soul."

When Uncle Zhang mentioned Uncle He, he also felt a little regretful.

Chen Huimei was a little puzzled, so she also asked Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, you said that Uncle He's youngest son is missing and the phone can't be reached, so will his mobile phone be stolen and the company will work overtime? Will this happen? ?”

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, in the past, his youngest son would also work overtime in the company, but he would always say hello to Old Man He on the phone in advance."

"After all, when his son will come to Xiahe Welfare Institute, there is a tacit understanding between the two. If he doesn't come, his son will tell in advance."

"But the strange thing this time is that there is neither a phone call nor a message from someone."

"A few days ago, I was really in a hurry. I asked a driver who went to his young son's company to pick up the goods, and asked about his son's situation."

"But the news that the driver brought made old man He completely dumbfounded."

"What's the situation?" Hearing Uncle Zhang's remarks, Liu Jiaju became a little uneasy.

Uncle Zhang said: "The driver called the orphanage and said that old man He's son has lost contact since he left the company."

"Not only old man He was looking for him, but even people from his company were 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?"

"Could something have happened?" Bai Xiaolan heard that she felt that new interview materials were available again.

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "We can't say for sure, but everyone was discussing in private these days."

"After all, his old man's son just disappeared out of thin air, and the phone can't be reached. Isn't something wrong?"

"But even if something happens, at least where is the person? But the key is that the person can't be found, so old man He is in a hurry."

"You know, in Xiahe Orphanage, his youngest son is his only sustenance. We all said that things are weird, maybe his youngest son is no longer alive."

I heard that Uncle Zhang said so.

Liu Jiaju, Chen Huimei, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan were taken aback at the same time.

Feeling something so mysterious?
Gu Chen said, "Then why didn't you call the police?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "It seems that the police have been reported, and people from the police station also came, but they can't seem to find any clues. Let Old Man He wait and see. If no one is found in a few days, then they will come and look Look."

"But old man He, as you all know, is a quick-tempered man. He took his burden with him that day and went out to look for his son. He hasn't come back yet."

"How many days have you been there?" Gu Chen asked.

Uncle Zhang counted with 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, pointed to Sister Zhao who was helping in the kitchen, and said, "Xiao Zhao knows, she has the address."

"Thank you." Gu Chen quickly got up and went to the kitchen to find Sister Zhao.

At this moment, Sister Zhao is sorting the purchased vegetables and fruits together with Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

Seeing Gu Chen coming over, Sister Zhao smiled and said, "Gu Chen, you bought so many things again this time, what a waste, this stuff will spoil easily after a long time, and you can't finish it."

"It's okay, save it and eat slowly." Gu Chen echoed casually, and said: "By the way, Sister Zhao, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me." Sister Zhao turned her head and asked while her hands were busy.

Gu Chen got straight to the point, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle He's youngest son is missing, did you know about it?"

As soon as the words were finished, Sister Zhao's hands suddenly stopped, and she was also stunned. Then she said: "Yes... yes, I know, it just happened a few days ago."

"What about Uncle He? Where is he now?" Lu Weiwei also asked.

Sister Zhao let out an "ah" and said helplessly, "At first, his son disappeared suddenly, and we were quite worried for him. We asked him to wait for news in the orphanage, but he couldn't wait and insisted on going out to look for it."

"I said that you are not a detective, so don't be brave, but Mr. He won't listen. A stubborn person can't be pulled back even nine cows, so you should go home, right?"

"Then do you know his home address? I want to find him. If he is alone at home, I will take him back to live in."

"It's okay." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Sister Zhao quickly ran her hands on the faucet, wiped her apron casually, and then walked to the office.

Everyone was not idle, and followed behind one after another.

Afterwards, Sister Zhao dug out a thick notebook from the drawer of her desk, found the address of Uncle He's home, and showed it to Gu Chen, "This is his home address, please write it down."

Without further ado, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, took a picture 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."

"Understood." Gu Chen waved his hand and got on the assault vehicle.

Lu Weiwei, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also got into the car.

Everyone started the vehicle and drove directly to Uncle He's house.

Gu Chen knew that Uncle He was a stubborn person. If his missing son is not found, he probably won't come back.

But Uncle He has bad legs and feet, if he is left alone at home for several days with no one to take care of him, Gu Chen is afraid that something will happen to him.

But it's strange to say, how could Uncle He's youngest son, who would come to Xiahe Welfare Institute every three days to see him, suddenly disappear without a sound?
Gu Chen had an ominous premonition.

……

……

The vehicle drove on the suburban road for 20 minutes, and it was almost at Uncle He's home.

Uncle He's family lived in a three-story building near the highway, but when the car drove up to the gate, Gu Chen found that the gate was closed, as if no one was at home.

According to the address information and house number taken by the mobile phone, there is nothing wrong.

Gu Chen simply pulled up the handbrake, got out of the car and walked up to the door together with the others.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Gu Chen knocked three times and shouted, "Excuse me, is Uncle He at home?"

No one in the room responded...

Then Gu Chen knocked three times in a row, and said to himself, "Uncle He, I'm Gu Chen."

This time, Gu Chen used his master-level observation skills to clearly hear a movement of getting up from the seat in the room.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Is this Uncle He? I'm Gu Chen, if you are at home, please open the door?"

This time, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the house.

It seems to be wearing slippers, dragging a movement on the ground.

The sound was getting closer and closer, Gu Chen took a step back.

At this moment, there was only a "click" of the door lock, and a haggard old man poked his head out to watch.

Only then did Gu Chen realize that this person was exactly the Uncle He he was looking for.

But Uncle He, who is so thin now, is completely different from the positive and eloquent Uncle He I knew back then.

The uncle He I met at the beginning was healthy and full of vitality.

But look at Uncle He now, thin, melancholy, and he hasn't even shaved his beard for several days.

The whole person looks like a melancholic patient, his eyes are dull and terrifying.

"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, but he also pretended to be calm and said, "The youngest son hasn't come home for several days. I'm worried. I don't know where he went. So, I want to wait for him at home."

"Then you've been home alone these few days?" Hearing Uncle He's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help becoming nervous.

Uncle He nodded slightly, and said with some difficulty: "That's right, I've been at home alone these few days."

Gu Chen looked up and down at the skinny Uncle He, and asked him with concern: "Then what have you eaten these past few days? Look at you, you are so thin, your legs and feet are not good, and you are alone at home, why don't you take care of yourself?" OK?"

Seeing that Uncle He was struggling to stand, Gu Chen hurriedly supported him and sat down inside the room.

Then I went to the kitchen to check the stove and found that it hadn't been used at all.

When I returned to the living room, I only found the outer packaging of some bread in the garbage basket.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "Uncle He, don't tell me that you live on 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 until he comes home."

"Aren't you messing around?" I feel that Uncle He is purely masochistic.

Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it any longer.

After all, the old man's age is so old, his legs and feet are not good, and no one has cooked him food.

Just staying at home alone, foolishly waiting for his son who doesn't know when he will be home.

If Gu Chen hadn't brought everyone to knock on the door, no one would have known that Uncle He died of starvation at home.

Thinking about it is a little frightening.

Gu Chen didn't care too much, and hurried back into the car, fetched the police water bottle he was carrying with him, and gave Uncle He some water first.

After that, he gave Uncle He a brief physical examination and found that he was only malnourished. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle He, you should go back to the orphanage with us. You will starve to death at home."

Uncle He shook his head blankly: "My son hasn't come home, so I'll wait here for him."

"Then if your son doesn't come back, don't you want to sit here all the time?"

As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly made a silent sign language, signaling not to provoke Uncle He.

Gu Chen could see that Uncle He's spirit had some problems obviously, and with the fact that he had to rely on bread for a few days to satisfy his hunger, it could be seen 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 it, you may have to be sent to the hospital.

Thinking of Uncle He's reluctance to leave, Gu Chen said again: "Uncle He, do you think this will work? Come back to the orphanage with us first, eat and drink well, and settle down."

"We will help you deal with your son's disappearance, do you think it's okay?"

When he heard that Gu Chen wanted to help him find a son, Uncle He, who had been staring blankly just now, stared at him immediately: "You mean what you say?"
