[35] A large number of missing persons

"It's useless, there are so many missing people here, how can you not call the police, but after you call the police, the police give you an excuse that these missing people must have gone out to work. ”

Following the young man back to his lodgings, he sat down and told us about it.

This is a staff dormitory on the construction site, and the employees living in this dormitory are all building roads nearby.

The young man's name is Liu Fei, and he took out a photo, the boy in the photo is sunny and handsome, holding a guitar, and he looks a little literary and fresh.

Liu Fei pointed to the photo and said to us: "This is Qi Wei, my classmate, tell me, he is a college student, maybe he secretly went to work outside? ”

According to Liu Fei, Qi Wei was a college classmate with him.

Liu Fei came to the construction site for an internship, and Qi Wei took advantage of his lack of schoolwork to come here to play with Liu Fei.

Last night, the two of them went to the village for supper late at night, and after eating about one o'clock in the night, Qi Wei went to the forest to go to the toilet.

After not finding Qi Wei back for a long time, Liu Fei dialed Qi Wei's phone and found that Qi Wei had turned off the phone, Liu Fei felt bad in his heart and hurriedly ran back to the construction site.

More than a dozen workers were summoned from the construction site, and the grove was turned up to the sky overnight, and even Zhaoxi Village and mango groves were searched, but no trace of Qi Wei was found.

Liu Fei contacted the school and Qi Wei's home, and the feedback from both sides was the same: Qi Wei did not go back to school, did not go home, and did not even contact anyone.

It was as if he had disappeared from the world, without a sound or without a trace.

After searching for no results, Liu Fei chose to report the case, and after making a record, the police asked him to go home and wait for news, but he waited without any feedback.

Liu Fei couldn't sit still and decided to look for clues by himself, and only then did he meet us in the process of looking for clues.

I patted Liu Fei on the shoulder and said to him: "You don't have to be too anxious, for the missing case, the police will file a case within forty-eight hours, if there is no news from Qi Wei after forty-eight hours, the police will definitely send people to look for it." ”

After listening to my comfort, Liu Fei was still worried: "There are too many missing cases here, and I am worried that the police are used to it and will not pay attention to Qi Wei's disappearance." ”

"Don't worry, this bag is on me, and someone will definitely pay attention to it. ”

I patted my chest and assured Liu Fei.

Liu Fei looked at me with a sworn look, looked me up and down a few times, and asked me a little suspiciously: "What guarantee do you have? You are not a big person, how can you guarantee that my case will be taken seriously?"

He probably saw the two of us in civilian clothes, but in his eyes, they were just two ordinary passers-by, right?

It seemed that it was time to reveal my identity, so I said, "Actually, we are ......"

A reporter from the Xichuan Metropolis Daily. ”

Lin Yan'er suddenly answered and interrupted my words, I looked at her in surprise, I don't know why she interrupted me, and I don't know why she wants to pretend to be a reporter, what kind of medicine is this little girl selling in her gourd?

"You're journalists, what are you doing here? It's a place with poor mountains and bad waters, and there's no good news material, so what are you here to cover?"

Liu Fei frowned, skeptical of Lin Yan'er's words.

I glanced at Lin Yan'er, and saw that she was making eye contact with me, meaning that she wanted me to cooperate with her in acting?

After my head spun around quickly, I mustered up the courage and began to make it up: "Because someone broke the news that there is a Devil Forest in Zhaoxi Village that eats people, so we came here to decipher the cannibalism legend of the Devil's Forest." ”

My posture of telling lies without blushing frightened Liu Fei for a moment.

What's even more awesome is Lin Yan'er, I saw her take out a card from her bag and say to Liu Fei: "Don't you believe it? This is our press card, why don't I show you." ”

Liu Fei looked at the cards in Lin Yan'er's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Since you are reporters, then I will give you a big news." ”

Lin Yan'er and I glanced at each other, and it seemed that Liu Fei had already believed that we were reporters.

After Liu Fei poured a glass of water for each of us, he said to us, "Wait a while, I'll go and invite a few people for you." ”

With that, he went out.

Seeing Liu Fei walk out, I lowered my voice and asked Lin Yan'er: "Sister, is it really good for you to pretend to be a reporter like this? We are policemen, what's wrong with telling him directly that we are policemen?"

"Are you stupid? Don't you see that they have a problem with the police, and if you say who you are, you can't investigate anything. ”

Lin Yan'er whispered.

What she said seems to make sense, Liu Fei did have an opinion about the police just now, if he knew that we were also police, he would definitely not be so active in talking to us.

Although the idea is good, it is always wrong to pretend to be a reporter, so I asked Jin Hehuan: "If he finds out that we are impersonating, how do I think you can get around?"

"Don't worry, I'll have a solution!"

Lin Yan'er said with confidence that at this time, Liu Fei walked in with four or five middle-aged people, and after those middle-aged people walked into the house, Liu Fei warmly beckoned them to sit.

We looked at the expressions of these middle-aged people, and found that their faces were cloudy and dejected, as if they all had some sad thoughts.

After everyone sat down, Liu Fei began to introduce us: "Uncles and aunts, these two are reporters from Xichuan Metropolis Daily, they came to understand the situation of the children this time, if you have any grievances, just tell them......

Before Liu Fei finished speaking, the middle-aged men and women suddenly went crazy and knelt down from the chairs, pulled our trouser legs and cried, and the room was instantly chaotic, the middle-aged men and women were crying and talking, expressing the meaning that they wanted us to speak for them and find their sons for them, they were desperate, and there was no one to help them.

It took us a lot of effort to finally persuade these middle-aged men and women to get around, and we probably understood the situation.

It turns out that these middle-aged men and women are all looking for their children, and almost all of their sons have disappeared near the grove, and some parents have been looking for them for several years.

These parents are all bankrupt because they are looking for their sons, and they have no place to live and can only live in the construction site, and from their eyes, we see gray despair, lifeless, and without a trace of life.

The parents took out a photo of their sons' disappearance, which registered the missing information, which made people unbearable to look at directly:

"Qin Guanguan, born in 2002, got lost near the grove in Zhaoxi Village late at night on May 13, 2014, and has not returned, wearing a Nanxiang Middle School uniform. ”

Mao Song, born in 1995, disappeared in mid-December 2015 near Zhaoxi Village, and his whereabouts are now unknown, with thousands of yuan in cash on his body, suspected of being robbed and killed. ”

"Fu Qingbing, born in 1999, disappeared on February 14, 2017 near the grove in Zhaoxi Village, and spent Valentine's Day with his girlfriend on the day of his disappearance, who is a native of Zhaoxi Village and is now married. ”

"Wang Zihan, born in 2007, got lost in Zhaoxi Village during the Spring Festival in 2018, and has reported his disappearance, thinking that his maternal grandfather is a villager in Zhaoxi Village, and Wang Zihan was lost when he returned to his grandfather's house to visit relatives, and is suspected of being abducted. ”

This is the child-searching information on their child-seeking photos, the so-called long-term illness becomes a good doctor, they have been looking for so many years and have not found their son, but they have honed themselves into detective-like people.

Seeing this, we have mixed feelings in our hearts, this should be what the police are doing, but where are the police now?

We talked to them about the police, and their eyes became even more desperate: "The threshold of the police station is about to be broken by us, but there is always only one answer: the case is under investigation, your child may have secretly gone out to work, or you should go back and wait by yourself, what if he suddenly comes back one day?"

That Wang Zihan's paternalistic gritted his teeth angrily, and slammed the wall behind him with his fist, and he didn't stop beating the blood with his fists: "My child is only ten years old, and the ten-year-old child secretly goes out to work, is this a joke? Is this a joke?"

It's a joke, but it's not.

It's a tragedy!

With a heavy heart, we said goodbye to the parents of the children, and we decided to rush back to the house as soon as possible, and we wanted to solve this doubt.

Did these parents call the police, and if they did, did they deal with the cases?

If they didn't call the police, then why did they denigrate the police so much?

Not long after we left Zhaoxi Village in a small yellow car, two off-road jeeps blocked us in front and back, and several large young men with baseball bats jumped out of the jeeps and forced them over with murderous vigour.

Two young men stood in front of me, set up my car, stopped me, and I asked, "What are you doing, why are you blocking our way?"

The young man who took the lead took the baseball bat in his hand and hit it gently, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "I heard that you two are reporters from the Metropolis Daily, we people in the poor countryside have never seen the world, let alone a reporter, why don't you two come with us and interview our poor people?"

Oops, these guys are taking us for journalists.

No, we only told Liu Fei and the parents that we were journalists, how would these little gangsters know that we were journalists?

Could it be that our identities were leaked by Liu Fei and them?

At the critical moment, we can no longer show our fake identities, Jin Hehuan and I took out our documents at the same time: "We are policemen, and we came out to investigate the case in casual clothes, I hope you will not affect us to solve the case." ”

"Yo he, pretending to be a reporter for a while and pretending to be a police officer for a while, why don't you act like this, brothers, beat me to death, beat these two fake reporters and fake policemen. ”

The young man who took the lead waved a baseball bat!
