Chapter 44: Exhaustion
The two of them rushed to the police station in charge of the jurisdiction as quickly as possible, whether it was Zhan Xingchuan or Ran Xixi, they were all a little panicked at the moment. They invariably think of all kinds of horrific consequences: being trafficked into the mountains, forced to beg, and harvested human organs
As soon as they heard that a three-year-old child was lost, and he also suffered from autism and could not communicate with people normally, the police on duty attached great importance to it and immediately began to call for public surveillance near the restaurant.
Through the monitoring, everyone saw that Zhan Ruijue did walk out of the restaurant alone, and the time and the monitoring they saw before were also consistent.
Sure that he was not taken away by a stranger, Zhan Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but what the police said next made him and Ran Xixi's hearts hang again.
"There are several surveillance blind spots on this road, you see, the child walks here, and as soon as he walks past this position, he can't shine it. So, that's all we can see at the moment."
The policeman on duty pointed to the screen with the pen in his hand, and after speaking, he began to look for other surveillance cameras, hoping to make new discoveries.
Ran Xixi's legs were weak, and he couldn't stand anymore, and slowly slid down against the wall.
If Zhan Ruijue really lost it like this, she thought that she would live in guilt for the rest of her life.
If she had controlled her emotions in time and didn't use Coke to splash the war, he wouldn't have dragged himself to the bathroom angrily and left Rui Rui alone in his seat, which eventually led to the child sneaking out and missing his whereabouts.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left him alone. I reminded myself to keep my child in sight no matter what happened, but I didn't."
Zhan Xingchuan was also deeply blaming himself, at this moment, he didn't care about arguing with Ran Xixi again, and he didn't have the heart to shirk his responsibility, the only thing he could do was to find a way to find the child as soon as possible.
The police asked for a few photos of Zhan Ruijue, and through the internal work system, let the colleagues in the jurisdiction pay attention, especially the police officers patrolling at night, pay special attention to whether they encounter lost children, and compare and verify them according to the photos.
"You parents can also print a photo of your child, write down the contact information, mobilize relatives and friends, and look around the restaurant, especially the shops on both sides, maybe someone sees it. Wait a minute, I'll try to contact the traffic radio station and let the drivers who are still on the road pay attention. In short, in this golden 24-hour hour, the more you hurry, the more likely it is to find the child. ”
Probably because of Zhan Xingchuan's special identity, the deputy director who happened to be on duty heard the news and quickly made a unified deployment.
"Lend me a computer, and I'll do a missing person notice right away. Soon, give me five minutes, five minutes"
Ran Xixi didn't know where the strength came from, so he grabbed the policeman on duty and borrowed a computer from him.
She sat down and typed quickly on the keyboard, desperately recalling Zhan Ruijue's height, body shape, physical features, and the style and color of the clothes and shoes she was wearing.
The police helped her print it out, and first printed a hundred copies.
After doing this, Ran Xixi held a stack of missing person notices and was about to return to the previous restaurant.
Zhan Xingchuan and the deputy director studied the current situation, and decided to go back to the nearby store to inquire first. He kept praying in his heart, maybe Zhan Ruijue didn't go far before he was discovered by well-wishers, just like the last time he met Ran Xixi in the hospital, he could continue this luck.
The two of them returned along the same road, Zhan Xingchuan drove, while Ran Xixi lowered the window and kept looking at both sides of the road.
Along the way, Zhan Xingchuan called Kong Miaomiao and asked her to go to the Zhan family's mansion immediately and wait with Sister Li to prevent Zhan Ruijue from being sent back home. Although this possibility is very low, it is not completely impossible.
As soon as she heard that Rui Rui was missing again, Kong Miaomiao was suddenly frightened that the six gods were gone, and the only thing she could do was to go back to his house first and wait for news according to what Zhan Xingchuan said.
Zhan Xingchuan hesitated, but still called Yu Youwei.
Her phone was turned off, the phone in the office was not answered, and the phone in the apartment was not answered.
He called several times in a row, but he couldn't find her, and he couldn't help but be even more angry. In the end, Zhan Xingchuan had to try to call Pei Zixuan and ask her if she knew where Yu Youwei was.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhan, I don't know where Miss Yu is. Are you in a hurry?"
Pei Zixuan was also confused, she was only Yu Youwei's employee now, a senior account manager of Xinhong, but she did not continue to be responsible for taking care of her life, and after work, she did not know Yu Youwei's private arrangements.
"It's fine. ”
Zhan Xingchuan cut off the phone, and his face was already difficult to see.
At this moment, Ran Xixi couldn't take care of Yu Youwei at all, she only knew that tonight, she was originally with Zhan Ruijue, but now, he is gone, she is responsible, and the only thing she can do now is to find him as soon as possible.
Soon, the two were back down the street.
Time passed minute by minute, there were fewer and fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the street, and many shops on the street had begun to close.
Most people are very kind, took the photo of Zhan Ruijue, took a closer look, shook their heads, and said they hadn't seen it. There are also some people who are inevitably a little wary and wave their hands lightly, indicating that they don't know.
By the time he joined Zhan Xingchuan, Ran Xixi's voice was so hoarse that he was almost speechless, his forehead was a little hot again, and his body was cold and hot. She knew very well that her fever had not been completely cured in the first place, and after sweating, she had been blowing all night, which must have worsened at the moment.
"How's it going, did Miao Miao call?"
She gasped for breath and pressed one hand on her waist, a little unable to stand up straight.
Zhan Xingchuan shook his head, also at a loss.
Ran Xixi rested for a while, and immediately rushed to the opposite intersection again, and continued to ask persistently, but unfortunately, as time went by, almost all the shops on the street were closed, and there were only one or two convenience stores and adult products stores that were open 24 hours a day, and they had also asked, that is, they found nothing.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning, and the radio was also broadcasting in turn, but there was no news.
In the end, Zhan Xingchuan glanced at the time and said with a frustrated face: "Get here first, I'll take you back to the hotel, and then I'll look for it again." You go back first. ”
Ran Xixi was exhausted, but instinctively shook his head: "I won't go." ”
His voice was cold: "No, you have to sleep for a few hours, and then come and change me." ”
Of course, Zhan Xingchuan didn't really plan to take turns resting with her, but he knew very well that if he didn't say so, she would definitely not go back to rest.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Ran Xixi immediately moved his legs and walked in the direction of the hotel, saying as he walked: "Okay, after those two hours, we will change shifts." ”
Zhan Xingchuan didn't continue to argue with her, but quickly caught up with her and went back to the hotel with her.
As soon as they walked into the elevator, the two of them were like deflated dolls, leaning weakly on the inner wall of the elevator, with expressionless faces and dull eyes.
They all knew what it would mean if in a few hours there was no place for the child.
Seeing the elevator slowly climbing, Ran Xixi asked hoarsely, "Where are you going to find it next?"
Zhan Xingchuan stared ahead, his bloodshot eyes did not blink, and replied softly, "I don't know"
He really didn't know that he had never been so flustered and helpless in his life.
She was also helpless, and she also sensed his helplessness, the ghost made a difference, Ran Xixi stretched out her hand and held the hand that Zhan Xingchuan was hanging by her side, she actually didn't think about anything, she just wanted to touch him and tell him that she would also look for it with him.
The slight touch made Zhan Xingchuan tremble slightly, and before he could speak, the elevator arrived.
Ran Xixi was pulled back to reality by that "ding", and finally realized what she had just done, she retracted her hand quickly as if she had been burned, and walked out of the elevator quickly, her steps were a little chaotic.
Looking at her back, Zhan Xingchuan also lowered his head and looked at his hand that had just been held by her.
There seemed to be a remnant of her temperature on it.
He was only lost for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and stepped out of the elevator.
It was the second half of the night, and the hotel was unusually quiet, and the thick carpet sucked up the footsteps. Ran Xixi tiredly took out the room card, opened the door, turned his head to look at Zhan Xingchuan beside him, and said softly: "Two hours later, I will replace you, you also need to rest and maintain your strength in order to find Rui Rui."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a television coming from the room, and the voice of a man talking.
Ran Xixi was so shocked that he was so angry that he didn't even change his shoes, and rushed in with his legs.
This hateful man, why did he run to her room while he was away? Although she is just a small assistant and a part-time worker, she also needs ** and a private environment. And he repeatedly ignored her dignity and ran over again, which was really insulting. This time, Ran Xixi said that he had to make this issue clear with him. If it's a big deal, submit your resignation. Roll up and cover away.
Ran Xixi was furious and ran to the living room, and when she saw what she was looking at, she couldn't help but be stunned.
A "panda" is sitting cross-legged in the center of the floor, holding a gamepad in his hand, playing the game intently.
Next to him, a tall man with headphones in his ear, a barrage of French in his mouth, and a gamepad in his hand, apparently playing a two-man doubles with "Panda".
