As soon as dinner was over, everyone went about their own business, going home and working overtime. He didn't drive in the summer, and he wanted to walk around the street alone, soak through the night air, and sort out his mood by the way.

Thinking about the recent cremation case, Xia Shi unconsciously walked to the nearest subway station square from home. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already past nine o'clock, and there were half as many pedestrians in the square as during the day, but it was not deserted. Some people walk in the square, some come here to take a ride, some set up stalls to sell things, and some ......

Summer noticed that there was a little girl at Exit B who seemed to be begging, and it didn't look like she was more than fifteen years old. Confused, he walked briskly towards Exit B to see what was going on with the girl.

When I came to the girl, Xia Shi saw a white paper on the ground, which was written in a very delicate font: I came to R City to look for relatives, I lost my wallet on the way, I hope that a kind person will lend me some change, and I will return it in the future, thank you!

Xia Shi had seen too many beggars in similar situations, and knew that nine out of ten of these people were liars, but when he saw this little girl who looked like a junior high school student, he suddenly couldn't control his sympathy, and even if he was deceived, he wanted to help the other party.

He fumbled into the pocket of his trench coat and found that it contained just the change he had left over from buying cigarettes. He didn't count the money, but took it out and put it all in front of the girl.

The girl looked up at Xia Shi and smiled gratefully. Xia Shi nodded slightly, turned around and walked in the direction of home. He hadn't gone far before he noticed someone following him, and when he looked back, it was the begging girl.

"What are you doing with me?" Xia Shi asked puzzled.

The girl looked at Xia Shi, biting her lip tightly and not speaking.

Xia Shi was a little helpless, turned around and walked a few more steps, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that the girl was still following him not far away. "Little girl, is there anything else you need?"

"Big brother, I'm not a liar." The girl finally spoke, "I'm really in trouble, can you help me?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you're a liar or not, aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Xia Shi asked rhetorically.

"You're not." The girl shook her head, her eyes affirmative.

"There are a lot of bad people these days, and you can't see them by looking at the appearance. How can you be so sure I'm not a bad person? ”

"Because you're a police officer."

"Oh?" Xia Shi raised his eyebrows, and became more curious about the girl in front of him. "How do you know?"

The girl pointed to her collar, "When you bent down to give me the money just now, I saw that you were wearing a police shirt under your trench coat. ”

"I see...... "Xia Shi has to admire the girl's carefulness. He wanted to say that wearing a police uniform might not be a real policeman, but seeing the girl's persistent look, he felt that he should stop teasing the other party. "Okay." Xia Shi compromised and asked kindly, "What exactly do you need my help with?" ”

When the girl saw that Xia Shi was finally willing to help her, she let out a long sigh of relief. "Big brother, I'm not lying, I did come from out of town to look for relatives. I don't know anyone in the city, and I don't have any money on me, so I don't know what to do. ”

"Then why don't you call the police? It's not a good idea to come here and beg. ”

The girl looked down, knowing that she had done something stupid.

"If you have trouble finding the police, if what happened to you is true, the police will definitely help you."

"I'm sorry ......"

"Well, forget it." Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Xia Shi couldn't bear to continue preaching. Since he is a policeman, he has been involved in this matter, and it is impossible for him to sit idly by. "Well, I'll take you to dinner first, and I'll talk about it after I have something to fill my stomach."

A few minutes later, the two sat down at a fast-food restaurant near the subway station. Xia Shi was afraid that the girl would be polite to him, so he didn't ask the girl's opinion, and directly ordered a pork rib rice, plus a few side dishes.

The girl was so hungry that she didn't care about her image at all, and devoured the food as soon as it was served. Xia Shi didn't disturb her, and sat quietly opposite her until she was almost finished eating, and then asked, "What's your name?" How old is this year? Where did it come from? ”

The girl wiped her mouth and said to Xia Shi with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a day." My name is Jiang Xinyue, I am 14 years old this year, and I came from Shiyan, Hubei. ”

"Who are you looking for in R City?"

"Look for my sister, I haven't been in touch with her for a month." The girl then recounted her situation to Xia Shi.

Jiang Xinyue has an older sister named Jiang Peiyao, who is twenty-one years old this year. Their family conditions are not good, and their father died of illness many years ago. My mother's health has not been good in recent years, and she can't go out to make money, so all the family responsibilities of their family fall on Jiang Peiyao.

Two years ago, Jiang Peiyao came to R City to work with friends from the same village, and only returned to her hometown for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Although the age difference between the two sisters is quite large, their relationship has always been very good. Jiang Peiyao loves her sister very much, and often sends her some beautiful clothes and delicious snacks back. The two of them will use mobile phone videos every once in a while to chat about each other's recent situation.

However, recently, Jiang Xinyue has not been able to contact her sister. When she called her phone to turn it off, she didn't know where her sister worked, where she lived, and whether she had other ways to contact her.

Because Jiang Xinyue studied in the middle school in the town and usually lived in the school, her mother didn't know that she had come to R City alone to find her sister this time, and she didn't even know that her sister might have disappeared.

"You just said that your sister came to R City to work with a friend from the same village, so didn't you ask that person about your sister's whereabouts?" After listening to Jiang Xinyue's narration, Xia Shi asked suspiciously.

Jiang Xinyue replied: "The girl who came to work with my sister went back to her hometown half a year ago to get married. She didn't know what was going on with my sister. ”

"She always knew something about it before, right? That will also help us find someone. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xinyue nodded, took out a sticky note paper from her schoolbag and handed it to Xia Shi, "She only gave me this address, saying that my sister lived in this place when she first arrived in R City, and she didn't know anything else." The two of them haven't been in touch since they got married. ”

Xia Shi carefully put the sticky note paper into his pocket, comforted Jiang Xinyue and said, "Don't think about it first, leave the matter of finding someone to our police." ”
