Chapter 1: Lost contact
() More than 20 days, fleeting.
Nearly a month of "self-isolation" and closure have made some people feel pushed to the limit. And all kinds of bombing in all directions without dead ends also made a small number of people fatigued, and then relaxed.
But the main thing is still anxiety.
The orders of the superiors will always change their flavor when they come down, and the localities always like to choose one size fits all in the context of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, so a large number of problems have arisen.
For example, the roadbed is directly dug up to close the road, such as forcibly closing public places including supermarkets and vegetable markets, such as the community is not allowed to enter, such as indiscriminate regional discrimination, etc.
This also includes "fines".
Take masks as an example, labor costs and raw material costs are all rising, and costs are rising, but local governments are resolutely not allowed to increase prices, and producers can only rely on love to generate electricity.
and the masks that came in for six cents, and when they were sold for one dollar, they were severely fined.
In order to avoid risks, many supermarkets simply transfer all the sources of goods to micro-businesses, and a large number of people can no longer buy masks for one dollar.
Coupled with the rise in the prices of various materials, the cost of living has risen sharply, but the income has been cut off, and the pressure of debt repayment is not small - only a few can enjoy the benefits of deferred repayment.
What's more, the extension will only be combined with the next month's bill. Even if we resume work next month, it will not be easy to repay two months' debts from one month's salary, plus the high cost of living.
It is the anxiety that is quietly spreading, and then increasing the pressure on the work of the police - although there are fewer people on the streets, the crime rate is much lower overall, but under the anxiety, it has also caused many people to be explosive and irritable, and the proportion of violent cases and vicious cases in all cases has increased.
The criminal investigation detachment and the major teams below can be described as busy.
At noon on the 17th, Qi Yuan was patrolling the street with Fang Chang.
Fang Chang's mobile phone rang suddenly, he took it out and saw that it was Su Ping calling, so he immediately connected it, and then turned on the amplification.
I heard Su Ping ask, "Fang Chang, are you with Xiao Qi?" ”
"Yes, what's the matter, Team Su." Fang Chang immediately asked.
"Have you two seen Cao Mingyang? Just the auxiliary police brother who was arranged to join your group a few days ago and patrol with your partner, the buddy from the Wang Hua Community Police Office. ”
"Nope." Fang Chang shook his head, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
"Their police office, as well as the higher police station of the office, can't contact him." Su Ping frowned and said: "The phone can't get through, and then it was turned off directly, I asked my family, but there was no news,"
"Can't get in touch?" Fang Chang asked in surprise, "How could it be?" When did you start to lose contact? ”
"It's hard to say," Su Ping's voice came out of the speaker: "I found it this morning, but I asked his colleagues, and they all said that they hadn't seen him recently, and some said that they hadn't seen him yesterday, and there was no shadow for several days." When was the last time you saw him? ”
"Impossible." Fang Chang said: "I was still there when I gathered this morning, I arranged for him to go to Dongxing Street to have a look, there are a few small supermarkets over there that have resumed work, and someone has to keep an eye on them."
Those guys are mistaken, right? But then again, he's been with us these days, and it's normal that they haven't seen each other for a few days. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Su Ping said: "The family also said that I hadn't seen him for a few days, but I still passed the video last night." ”
"He said that he wouldn't go home for fear of bringing the virus back, so he slept in the car these days."
"I know that." Su Ping said: "But ...... Let me tell you this, today is that buddy's birthday, and his wife specially made him a birthday cake, and sent the takeaway brother to deliver it to his unit.
But later, whether it was his wife or his unit, he wanted to call him and ask him to get off work and rush back to the unit early for his birthday, but he found that the mobile phone could not be connected, and he turned it off directly, which was a little worried.
Since his work was arranged by you, then you should hurry up to Dongxing Street to see if you can find someone, and if you find it, let him talk to the unit and family, and if you can't find it, notify me immediately. ”
"Okay, I see." Fang Changying said, "Don't worry too much, maybe the phone was dropped or stolen or something." ”
"It's best if it's okay, it's okay to give an explanation to the family, go quickly, I'll hang up first."
"Okay." Fang often hung up the phone.
Qi Yuan said, "Brother Fang, you continue to patrol, I'll go." ”
"Don't do it, let's do it." Fang Chang said: "In extraordinary times, people suddenly can't get in touch, in fact, no matter who is definitely in a hurry, it is also human nature." Let's split up and find people as soon as possible, so that they can be reassured. ”
"Okay." Qi Yuan bowed his head, got on a small motorcycle, and walked away in a hurry.
Fang Chang blinked, looked left and right, and could only walk towards Dongxing Street against the wind.
After walking a few steps, he thought of something again, immediately took out the walkie-talkie, and said, "Call Cao Mingyang, call Cao Mingyang." Brother, received an answer. ”
After a while, there was no response, he frowned slightly, and shouted again: "Call ......"
Still no response, his brow furrowed even tighter.
The walkie-talkie in their hands has a long effective paging distance, so although Su Ping didn't say it, he thought that Cao Mingyang's unit had also called him.
If it is excusable if the mobile phone is lost or broken, and even the walkie-talkie with a solid and durable size is also lost and broken, the possibility is very low.
Moreover, Cao Mingyang also has a partner, even if his mobile phone walkie-talkie is broken, his partner should respond.
Thinking about it, he was not so down-to-earth in his heart, and he had a bad premonition, so he subconsciously accelerated his pace.
After a while, the rest of their group responded, asking him what was going on, he hesitated for a moment and told them that Cao Mingyang couldn't be contacted. Of course, the wording is quite cautious, and I didn't say anything about missing contact, only that I couldn't get in touch.
But at this time, the mobile phone and the walkie-talkie could not be contacted, and the big guys were quite worried, so they applied to Fang Chang to go to Dongxing Street to find it, and Fang Chang agreed.
Colleagues who were also patrolling Dongxing Street quickly went around and then quickly reported that they did not see Cao Mingyang, not even his partner Chu Xunliang, but only saw their motorcycles parked on the side of the road.
Moreover, Chu Xunliang's mobile phone is also turned off.
"Something bad!" Fang Chang ran directly, and quickly took out his mobile phone and called Su Ping.
As soon as the phone was connected, he gasped and said quickly: "Team Su, I didn't find Cao Mingyang, and my partner Chu Xunliang who I arranged for him couldn't be contacted. ”
"What?"
