sleepless tonight

Chapter 381 Missing

"Do you suspect that Xiaowan has abducted your daughter?" Tang Xin asked me.

"Is there any doubt about it? There are only three of us in the family, and now that both of them are gone, it is impossible for Xiao Le to run away alone. If Tang Wan didn't take my daughter away, who else could it be?" I said, "Do you know where Logan is now?"

"I don't know where she is, and I think you must have misunderstood. How could Xiaowan do this? She can't abduct your daughter. She can't do such a thing." Tang Xin said.

"Stop making excuses for her. She even got me into the police station and sent me to jail. There is nothing she can't do." I don't believe what Tang Xin said, Tang Wan is her sister , she defended Logan like this.

"Xiaowan has liked you for so many years, yet you don't even know what she is like. You suspect that she has kidnapped your daughter. How could you think so?" Tang Xin seemed to be in disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me where Logan is right now." I got a little impatient.

"You're with her. I didn't come back from outside. You don't even know where she is. How can I know where she is?" Tang Xin said, "Did you call?"

"I called, but the phone was turned off and no one answered." I said, "Call her."

"If you call her to turn off the phone, can she turn it on when I call? Have you checked the villa and the surrounding area, are you sure they are both gone?" Tang Xin said.

"I've searched everywhere I could. I've looked in every room in the villa, under the bed, in the cupboard, including the kitchen, bathroom, and even the roof, but there's no one there." I searched all over, but I didn't see Xiao Le."

Tang Xin took out her mobile phone, and made a call to Tang Wan under my gaze: "It's useless, turn off the phone."

"You send her a message and call again later." I said, "If you say you're with me, just ask where she is."

Tang Xin sent a message to Tang Wan according to my instructions, waited for four or five minutes, and called Tang Wan again under my urging: "It's still off."

Tang Xin was also a little nervous: "Could it be that the two of them went out, could it be that Xiao Wan took Xiao Le to a nearby shopping mall, or somewhere?"

"Impossible. I found one of Xiao Le's shoes behind the villa. If I really want to take Xiao Le out to play, I have no other intentions. It is impossible to let Xiao Le go out with only one shoe." I shook my head, " Didn't she tell you something before? Did she mention to you how she wanted to get back at me? "

"Are you suffering from persecution delusions? Why would Xiao Wan tell me these things?" Tang Xin looked at me strangely, "Don't worry, call the places Xiao Wan might go and the people she might meet first. Make a phone call to see if it's with them."

"You call Zhou Kai." I assigned Tang Xin, and I picked up my phone and called Wu Dong.

Zhou Kai, Wu Dong, Yu Lu, even Su Ran, and some other classmates, as long as possible, I called all of them one by one to inquire. Tang Xin also called people I knew to see if there was any news about Tang Wan. .

Been on the phone for almost an hour and ended up getting nothing.

"Call the police." I couldn't wait any longer.

"For missing persons, it takes more than 24 hours to report to the police, right? What's the use of calling the police now, and there is no one at the police station right now, so you might as well look around." Tang Xin said, "And if you wait a little longer, maybe the two of them He came back by himself."

"It's already eleven o'clock now, and the sky is so dark. If Tang Wan really took Xiao Le out to play, how could she not come back by this time? It's impossible for her to take Xiao Le out without telling me, for sure It was on purpose," I said.

"I'm too lazy to tell you, but you have too much prejudice against Xiao Wan," Tang Xin said.

Tang Xin turned to leave, but I held her back, "Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Look nearby." Tang Xin said.

Tang Xin and I went out together, first went to Wuhan University to search around, and then we split up to search in various places nearby. I walked to the East Lake and looked at the lake as black as ink. I was really worried and wanted to see I dare not look at the surface of the lake, for fear that I will suddenly see a person floating on the surface of the lake.

I slammed my fist hard on the tree trunk by the lake, hating myself for being so careless, I can make mistakes with a child.

After searching for most of the night, my legs were numb and my eyes were sore, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I kept walking. I didn't know where to find Chen Le, but I didn't dare to stop.

I kept thinking, maybe Chen Le is in the bushes in front, or in the old house in front, as long as I walk a few steps, maybe I can see her, or hear her cry, can Rescue her, if I just turn around and leave like this, I may miss the chance to save him.

Tang Xin called me: "Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Found it? Did you find it?" I asked immediately.

"No, I've searched many places, but my legs are sore and I still can't find it. Don't look for it. It's so late and there are no clues. Where can you look for it?" Tang Xin advised me, "Go to the police station tomorrow morning. Let the police check the surveillance, maybe they can find some clues."

I slapped my thigh hard, why didn't I think of this, there is surveillance nearby, as long as you find the surveillance, you can find clues, why didn't I think of it before?
I smashed the tree trunk next to me again, the time I wasted might be Chen Le's vitality, I actually missed it.

I hung up the phone and took a taxi to the police station.

But the door of the police station was closed, and they were already off work. I checked the time, and it was already four o'clock in the morning. The police station should go to work around eight o'clock, and there were still nearly four hours left.

I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to wait here, waiting for someone to come to work, and ask them to help adjust the surveillance immediately.

Tang Xin called me again: "Why haven't you come back yet, where are you now?"

"I'm at the police station." I was a little tired, so I found a place to sit and lean against the wall.

"It's only past four o'clock, and the police station doesn't work that early. Come back quickly and rest for a while. We will go there together when they go to work in the morning." Tang Xin said.

"You go to sleep, don't worry about me, I will wait here." I don't want to go anywhere, and I will definitely not be able to sleep when I go back. The child is not found, and I feel uneasy. How can I be able to sleep? That's what Chen Le looks like.

After hanging up the phone, I leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, feeling very confused.

I lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and didn't feel like smoking any more. I just held it in my mouth like that, and the smoke wafted slowly.

I have some tingling in my head, I am very tired, but I can't sleep, this has happened before, and now it is happening again.

At eight o'clock, someone finally went to work.

After I explained the situation, I made some records. Someone took me around the villa and retrieved the nearby surveillance video, and I followed along to watch it.

No obvious clues were found, but the case was filed immediately. The policeman who handled the case told me: "If a child under the age of ten is missing, the case can be filed immediately without waiting for 24 hours. We will check the nearby suspicious vehicles one by one. Suspicious person, if you have a clue, I will call you, and if you have a clue, you can contact us immediately."

After the police officer who handled the case told me this, he let me go.

I was a little annoyed, why did I listen to Tang Xin's words, I really have to wait 24 hours to report the crime, and I don't know what accidents will happen.

Thanks for being here this morning.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Tang Xin appeared at the gate of the police station as soon as I left.

I shook my head: "You give Logan a call."

"I called. I called when I was looking for someone last night. I also called when I woke up this morning. The phone was turned off." Tang Xin said, "Can I file a case? Do I have to wait 24 hours?"

"Adults are missing for 24 hours, but children don't need that long. The case can be filed immediately." I said, "Investigation is already underway."

I don't know what to do next. Although the case has been filed, I don't think I can wait like this. I can't wait for a moment. Chen Le is gone, and I have no intention of doing anything.

Every moment of waiting is suffering, I can't wait, I have to do something.
