"What happened?"

"Miss, she-she...is gone..."

The delicate woman paused for a few seconds before reacting: "Gone?"

"Well, the young lady may have run away from home. I called her several times just now, but no one answered..."

"She's rebelling!" The delicate woman's face was instantly filled with anger. She slapped the mahjong in her hand on the table and said in a shrill voice, "She dared to run away from home?!"

"Madam, the most important thing now is to find the young lady back..."

"Where could she go if she ran away from home? It's out in the middle of nowhere, where could she go? Ah? She must be hiding at home!"

Exquisite woman, she is really angry.

As a representative of other people's children, Ai Liyu has always been surrounded by envious looks.

But now when she looked back at the other ladies, she seemed to read in their eyes subtexts such as 'you have come to this day', 'you are so shameful', 'you have always lied to everyone', it was like someone was stabbing her with needles.

Young Master Jing looked at her coldly and then looked at his watch.

There were hurried footsteps downstairs, and the driver Xiao Chen, who was a little embarrassed by the rain, rushed back: "Based on the time when the young lady received the call, I checked the surveillance footage of the cars that left. There were three in total. Two private cars were unlikely to take people out. The last car was a truck transporting furniture. The surveillance footage from other angles is still being checked..."

If they walk, the villa area is located on the outskirts of the city and it is difficult to walk far without a private car. They can now ask someone to come and find it.

But if he followed the car out, walked far away or even entered the city, then I'm afraid I would have to call the police...

Young Master Jing was more inclined to the latter possibility. After all, his sister had gone to see that yellow-haired guy with the express intention of asking him to prepare a place to stay.

Maybe she had already reached the urban area by then. A person who was determined to hide in the steel jungle was like a fish entering the ocean.

Young Master Jing collected his thoughts, raised his hand and used the umbrella in his hand to gently push away Aunt Wang, who was being accused by the sharp voice, and took a step forward to stand in front of the exquisite woman.

“Ah, Ah Jing…” The delicate woman’s tone seemed to be stuck, and her eyes were a little vague: “You also know about this…”

"Got it. My eldest sister is out looking for A-Yu. Please inform Uncle San. Also, hurry up and contact A-Yu. If you can get through on the phone, persuade her to come back first. Everything else will be easy."

"Your Third Uncle - Ah Jing, could you please not tell your Third Uncle?"

The exquisite woman seemed to have grasped something: "He still doesn't know, right? Then let's find Xiaoyu first! I know where she is, she must be in the pet shop at the door!"

"I've been to the pet shop, and the owner didn't see A-Yu." Young Master Jing sighed and tried to keep his tone calm: "Aunt, the child is immature, but safety is important. She is only 12 years old. The most important thing is that it's raining so hard now. It's not like she can go out and play with her classmates like she usually does..."

The country is very safe, but no matter how safe it is, a child without an ID and no means of contacting the outside world, running around at night during an orange rainstorm warning should be classified as dangerous - fortunately it happened in the country. If this happened abroad, they should have been at the police station instead of here.

"But, but..."

"No buts!" Young Master Jing interrupted her and pointed at the purple lightning flashing outside the window: "Is this kind of weather suitable?"

"..."

"Now! Immediately! Contact my Third Uncle - and then call the police! If you can't explain the situation clearly, I will help you! I will talk until you all understand it!"

The delicate woman's expression showed some struggle, and then, as if she saw that Young Master Jing was particularly tough, she began to speak in a pleading tone.

She lowered her voice and said, "Ah Jing, if everyone knows about this, it will make our Ai family look like we have no manners. Ah Yu will not be able to get far. She may just be hanging around..."

Young Master Jing looked at her, his eyes changed from surprise to realization, and finally to coldness: "Then give me the SIM card, and you wait for news at home."

"I...I'm not, you—"

"Brother Chen--" Young Master Jing was too lazy to waste time with him, so he turned around and called out while taking out his cell phone.

The driver, Xiao Chen, walked forward indifferently, glanced at the mahjong table, reached out and took the mobile phone on the side, without giving the delicate woman a chance to react.

"What are you doing! Put it down!!"

The exquisite woman was gentle and even a little flattering when facing Mr. Jing, but when facing the driver Xiao Chen, she showed a bit of superiority.

The Second Young Master Jing waved his hand and gestured to go out, not wanting to bother with her at all - she was no longer useful, and the main reason why A Yu ran away from home today was because of this mother.

The eldest sister was right. We should have paid attention to Ayu's mental state a long time ago. Unfortunately, it was a little late.

Behind the Second Young Master Jing, the delicate woman clenched her fists, her face pale with anger: "Ah Jing! Don't you regard me as your elder at all? I am your Third Aunt!"

"...You should be thankful that I still consider you your Third Aunt." The Second Young Master Jing turned around as he reached the stairs and said, "If my eldest sister were here, you would know what regret is."

If Alia was here, not to mention she was the third aunt, even if he was the third uncle, Alia would not tolerate them and would probably slap them in the face.

Having such a grumpy sister is quite a headache.

But when such a hot-tempered sister is particularly protective of her children, it is lucky for the younger brothers and sisters.

The driver, Xiao Chen, looked at the delicate woman who seemed to be about to bite someone, raised his hand, picked up a stainless steel fruit plate next to him, and twisted it with his bare hands.

By the time he put the twisted fruit plate on the coffee table, everyone's emotions had visibly calmed down, with innocence in their eyes.

Young Master Jing came back and said, "Big sister means you guys come over here too - Brother Chen, drive over here and ask about the situation over there."

"it is good."

……

……

"Yes, okay, okay, I got it... Dongfeng Road... turn to Jianshe Road... OK - I'll check it out right now! Wait for my news!"

At Xiaojie's home, An Lele was restless and paced back and forth beside Xiaojie's bed.

"How's it going? Did you find out? Is it OK?"

"Sister Lele, please be quiet for a moment. I'm already checking it out, okay..."

Xiaojie's desk is very large. On the three screens connected together is a map of Tianhai City, and he is outlining a route.

"Brother Jing said that the surveillance over there has produced results. They captured footage of Sister Xiaoyu climbing onto someone's car. That car was a delivery truck from Mingzhu Furniture. The starting point was the home furnishing mall next to the Affiliated No. 2 Middle School. There is a furniture logistics warehouse here, but you can't go back and forth that way. There is a section that is restricted when you leave at night. In addition, I just checked the traffic information. About an hour ago, this section was congested and there were two car accidents, so there is a high probability that you will have to detour via the West City Interchange..."

Xiaojie was typing away on the keyboard, but An Lele couldn't understand anything and could only worry.

But she couldn't leave Xiaojie and act alone - Xiaojie was too young, and if he wanted to go out later, she had to accompany him.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door opened and Xiaojie's mother came in with some fruit: "Are you busy?"

"Yeah, I'm busy." Xiao Jie said without turning his head: "Mom, a child from Sister Ai's family is missing, and they are looking for her now. I may have to go out to help later, is that okay?"

"It's raining so heavily!" Xiaojie's mother was shocked.

An Lele also felt that it was indeed inappropriate. Xiaojie was only 8 years old. Why would he do something chivalrous in the middle of the night? He should stay at -

"If the child is lost, won't he get sick?" Xiaojie's mother put down the fruit plate and said worriedly, "Have you called the police? This kind of thing needs the help of the police!"

"The police have been called. My family is also looking for him. I just checked the surveillance and found something. I'm helping him figure out the route."

"Can you do it?"

"Sure, of course I can. I asked my friends in the group for help. My friends are all very capable."

"It's good that you can help others..." Xiaojie's mother seemed to know about Xiaojie's IQ. She didn't dwell on her child's ability. "Then you calculate the route and talk to your father. We have friends here and see if there are any living nearby. You can look for them near home."

"Yes, that's what I planned. I have already contacted those player friends in Grandpa's store, and they agreed to go out and help look for it."

"Did they all agree?" Xiaojie's mother warned, "Be careful, it's raining too hard, and you should be careful about whether you will get sick or something."

"This is an act of justice! What's a mere rain?" Xiao Jie said as he opened the drawer, took out something that looked like an album and slapped it on the table.

"What's this?"

"One book of white broken cards for 100! Plus one Ultimate Gem God Rainbow Dragon UTR Public Bo 9, two fourth-period Black Flame Dragon UTR Extremely Beautiful Pin Bo 10 naked cards. I'll give them away for free if I find someone - Sister Ai will reimburse me!"

"…These are just some small pieces of paper. Anyone want them?" An Lele flipped through the book, confused: "Your playmates of the same age?"

Xiao Jie looked at An Lele as if she was a fool. Did she know how offensive her words were? The card guy had already blocked her.

Xiaojie's mother also tried to smooth things over: "Children's hobbies are also liked by many adults. Although I don't understand, these things are very precious in front of the people they like. Money can't buy what you like. Who doesn't have a childhood?"

An Lele thought that was right. If we calculated it this way, these small pieces of paper could probably be sold for a hundred or eighty yuan, right? Quite valuable...

[Remote sky star がひどく火いて见えたから~servant shock えながらその光を Chase いかけた——]

The phone rang, and Xiaojie put on his headphones: "Temporary Information Control Center, please speak."

"It's me." Young Master Jing said anxiously, "The call went through. A-Yu's phone was dropped at the Meijia convenience store in Xicheng. Someone saw her with their own eyes!"

"West City..." Xiao Jie slid the mouse: "There are six Meijia convenience stores in West City, which one?"

"Branch number 017."

"Understood. Number 017...Jianjun Road...near the People's Square in Xicheng District. I'll narrow down the search area again. When did you see her?"

"Half an hour ago, a kind person wanted to help her, but she was scared and ran away. The kind person left her phone and her coat at the convenience store for her to pick up. The phone was out of battery and soaked in water. It was temporarily turned on after charging just now."

"Okay, I'll contact Sister Ai and other friends, and I'll see if there's any place to stay over at People's Square - Haili Hot Spring Resort Hotel, is that okay?"

"……OK!"

……

……

"Of course! Don't worry!"

A young man looked out the window at the heavy rain and said, "It's just a little rain, no problem. I can see the road clearly with my eyes closed in my neighborhood!"

After he finished talking, he hung up the phone, turned around to find clothes and an umbrella, and prepared to go out. But his wife stopped him at the last minute: "Where are you going?"

"Didn't I often go to Grandpa's video game store to play before..."

"You went to a video game store in such heavy rain? Is there something wrong with you or me?"

"Listen to me. I met a kid over there. He said his sister got lost and was last seen walking around our area."

“…When did it happen?”

"It was just half an hour ago. He shouldn't have gone far. Our community is semi-enclosed. What if he came in to avoid the rain? I'll just walk around nearby."

"Okay, go ahead." The wife thought about it and realized it wasn't a difficult task: "Bring a flashlight and be careful of the slippery road."

"Don't worry—"

The young man ran downstairs in two or three steps, and his neighbor and childhood friend from the next building came over and asked: "How is it?"

"nailed it!"

"Then go! I heard the child is only 12 years old, why is he running around?"

"I guess he was just being too obsessed with it... Actually, apart from the heavy rain and the heavy traffic, there's nothing too dangerous."

"That's not necessarily true. Were there a few stray dogs in this area before? Do you still remember them?"

"Stray dogs? I haven't seen many..."

"That's because you don't go out. A stray dog ​​may have just given birth and bit several people while protecting its puppies. The property management and urban management have been looking for it recently."

"Isn't that so lucky that we just bump into each other?"

"It's hard to say about stray dogs. They didn't seem dangerous before when I left them alone, but they've been caught and searched for the past few days, and their ferocity has become aroused. They hold grudges. I heard them howling in the park across the street in the middle of the night. If you didn't know, you would have thought they were wolves..."

The two of them held umbrellas and carried flashlights, sweeping the area and chatting as they walked.

Not long after they passed a ground garage with a canopy, a figure curled up beside a car with residual heat from the engine slowly poked his head out, sniffed, and held a cage in his arms, as if he didn't know where to go.

There are thousands of lights in the community, but the bustle belongs to others and has nothing to do with her.

At this moment, there was a faint noise coming from the park opposite the community. It seemed that some event was being held in the gymnasium over there, and even the heavy rain could not dampen the enthusiasm.

Sister Yu thought about it, staggered to her feet, rolled up the plastic sheet she had picked up and put it on her head, then limped towards the park.

It's good to have some fun... maybe...

……

……

"She didn't have her phone, and most likely she didn't have any cash either, because she left home on a whim."

Xiaojie stood in front of a whiteboard attached to the wall and skillfully drew dense street lines with his bare hands as if he had practiced before.

"According to the convenience store staff, when the kindhearted people approached her, her mental state was very bad, and she was obviously resisting contact with people. But this should be temporary, because heavy rain, darkness and low temperatures will prompt people to return to the embrace of society. Temporary mental depression cannot overcome the sense of urgency brought about by hunger and cold..."

"No, is your analysis of this useful?"

"Of course there are - go left, it's towards the suburbs. The further you go, the fewer people there are. That's an industrial area. There's no one there during the day, and it's even darker at night."

So Xiaojie directly put a cross on the left: "No one would jump around in such a dark place after running away from home. If the mental breakdown reaches that level, it is not running away from home, but jumping off the building directly!"

An Lele stroked his chin and thought about it, and felt that it made sense. After all, Sister Yu had asked Huangmao to arrange a place for them to stay.

"At the end of the road to the right is the largest residential area there. It is densely populated with nearly 30,000 people. There are four squares, two parks, two commercial streets, and a riverside road around it."
