Ding Dong nodded with a "hmm", the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Zhang Ruida looked at her, sighed with some emotion, and his tone was a little solemn: "I remember you." ”

Ding Dong was stunned for a moment.

"That year, I personally sent you to the Fu'an Orphanage. ”

After saying this, Zhang Ruida pursed his lips and looked at her, with a little more deep meaning in his eyes, as if he was sighing and pity.

Shao Jiamin heard him say this, and his face showed a little surprise.

Ding Dong actually expected a little bit in his heart, and he was not much surprised, but laughed lightly: "There must be a lot of cases in your hands, and you can still remember me, I'm quite surprised." ”

"Not unexpected, not at all. Who knew that Zhang Ruida shook his head, looked at Ding Dong seriously and said, "I will remember that you are not accidental, because I took care of you for a while." ”

Ding Dong was finally aroused by his curiosity, looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Can you elaborate?"

Twenty-one years ago, the police in City A brought up a gang of child traffickers.

As many as 23 children were victimized, the oldest being seven or eight years old, and the youngest girl was not even a full moon.

This girl who is less than a full moon is Ding Dong.

After the dens were eliminated, most of the children were found by their parents within two or three days, and they were all local missing children in City A.

But only the newborn baby girl was never claimed by her family.

There are a group of big men in the department, and none of them know how to take care of children.

Zhang Ruida was only in her early thirties at that time, and his wife had just given birth to a daughter a year ago.

He took on the responsibility of taking care of the baby girl, and he took the child home and gave it to his wife to feed.

Although the wife had a lot of complaints, she was really pitiful when she saw that the child was fatherless and motherless, and finally agreed.

After about two or three days, one day when he was at work, his wife suddenly called him, and her tone was very anxious, saying that the child was sick.

He immediately put down his work and rushed home, taking the baby girl to the hospital.

Large areas of the skin are yellowed, milk refusal, limb twitching, and the result of the doctor's diagnosis is that the newborn is jaundice, which requires light therapy.

In the end, Zhang Ruida asked his wife to go home to take care of his children, and he took care of the baby girl in the hospital for three days and three nights.

Through the light treatment box, he suddenly felt that if his own child was lying inside, how heartbroken he would be.

This little orphan with no father and no mother was born with such ups and downs, how should he go in the future? How ruthless must his parents be to drop a piece of flesh from his body like this?

He didn't think about taking care of the baby girl for the rest of his life, after all, he had his own family. Light therapy cost him a lot of money, the family was not rich, and his wife had a big fight with him about it.

So when the baby girl recovered, he took care of the child for almost a month, until she no longer had any sequelae and did not cry at will, he sent her away on a snowy day.

He didn't go to see the child again for years to come.

But sometimes when he sees a baby who is about one or two months old in his life, he still thinks of this child who has been with him for a while.

Ding Dong listened quietly and did not say a word from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Zhang Ruida finished speaking that she smiled at him and said softly: "Thank you for what happened back then." ”

Although this story has nothing to do with her life experience, Ding Dong felt relieved to learn that she had met such a noble person when she was just born.

Zhang Ruida smiled, "If you want to thank you, thank my wife, she was feeding you during that time, and I can't do anything as a man, my only correct decision is to bring you home." ”

Otherwise, she would have starved to death in such a cold winter.

"Then your lady ......," Ding Dong hesitated.

"She went out to buy groceries and will be back in a moment. Zhang Ruida poured tea for the two of them with a smile, and continued: "As soon as I heard Xiao Shao talk about your case, I immediately became energetic, because your life experience was quite incomprehensible to me back then, I checked the entire A city, and none of the parents matched yours." After all, you were so young back then, and it was probably too hard for traffickers to carry it. Among all the abducted children, you are the youngest, and the older ones are two or three years old. From this point of view, your situation is really quite unexpected. ”

After all, it was a case from 20 years ago, and if the search scope is to be extended to the whole country, it is far from enough to rely on the police force and the speed of information dissemination at that time. ”

Shao Jiamin frowned and said a key point.

Zhang Ruida looked at him approvingly and nodded, "I also considered this possibility at the beginning, but there are so many provinces and cities across the country, it is impossible for us to investigate one by one for a child who is less than a month old, right? Moreover, at that time, all the abducted and trafficked children were local to City A, so there was no reason to spend a lot of effort to abduct and sell such a baby less than a month old. ”

Originally, hearing Shao Jiamin's words, Ding Dong already had some eyebrows in her heart, but when she saw Zhang Ruida come again, she suddenly felt that the truth had become confusing.

After a long time, she knew that she was almost two months old when she was sent to the orphanage, and she didn't even know if she was a native of City A.

Maybe this is a fan of the authorities, Ding Dong, who has always been sober-minded, became sluggish again when he encountered something closely related to his life experience, and he didn't have an eyebrow no matter how he thought about it.

Seeing a look of loss on Ding Dong's face, Zhang Ruida smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be disappointed, this matter can't be completely said to be without signs." ”

Ding Dong raised his eyes and looked at him, "What do you mean ......?"

"It was probably a few months ago when I was having dinner with the former section chief, and he told me something. Zhang Ruida's expression suddenly became profound, and he looked at Ding Dong's gaze with a little deep meaning, "He said that someone called him and asked him if there had been any foreign young female population in City A in the past 20 years, or in the past 20 years, had he handled any cases involving unidentified baby girls, whether they were dead or alive normally." ”

Ding Dong looked at his expression, and his heart tightened.

It was as if something had been lurking beneath the surface of the water was ready to move, ready to come out at any moment.
