The visit was carried out until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the police finally obtained a valuable clue: some witnesses claimed that at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, they accidentally saw a little girl suspected to be Zhang Guoer being picked up by a man into a silver-gray pickup truck. I didn't notice the license plate number, and I couldn't confirm the make and model of the truck, but I knew that it was a single-row pickup truck, which looked dirty and old, and looked like it had been used for many years.

With this clue in hand, the police set out to find the owner of the silver-gray pickup truck.

Yuanfeng Town is a very small town, with a sparse population and backward economic development, there should not be too many owners of eligible pickup trucks in the whole town, the problem is how to lock the one involved in the case as quickly as possible, so as to buy more time for rescuing the victims.

Of course, the police also had to consider the possibility that the vehicles involved were foreign vehicles (such as surrounding counties and towns), but in this way, the investigation became cumbersome and complicated. Pavement monitoring can be used as a reference, but backward towns are not as good as big cities after all, the monitoring coverage is not high, and there are many loopholes. If the killer is familiar with the local environment, avoiding surveillance is a breeze.

From the information we have learned so far, it can be inferred that there are at least two suspects who took Zhang Guoer away. At the time of the crime, one suspect was walking on the road and was responsible for tracking and controlling Zhang Guoer's movements, while the other suspect was responsible for driving to pick up and transfer accomplices and victims.

With regard to the crime of missing children, the motives for the crime can be summarized as follows:

1. Kidnapping for ransom; 2. Retaliate against parents; 3. Human trafficking; 4. Perverted crimes.

Zhang Guoer's family conditions are very ordinary. Her mother, Tian Yufen, was in poor physical condition, so she quit her hard job a few years ago and concentrated on taking care of her children at home, with no financial resources. Zhang Guo'er's father, Zhang Anjian, works as a teacher in a middle school in the county, and his income is just enough to support the daily life of a family of three, so there is no possibility of kidnapping for ransom. Considering that Zhang Guoer's family members are honest people who keep to themselves, the possibility of revenge can basically be ruled out.

The rest is child trafficking and perverted crimes. Combined with the analysis of previous cases, child abduction and trafficking are mostly gang matching cases, while perverted crimes are mostly committed by single people, so the police's initial speculation is that Zhang Guoer was abducted by a gang of human traffickers.

Time passed minute by minute, and the investigation work on all sides was still in full swing.

While checking the information of the owner of the pickup truck, the police noticed a person. This person's name is Li Baoyuan, male, 34 years old, divorced, with a 7-year-old son and a son under 2 years old. The reason why he paid special attention to this person was because he knew Zhang Guoer, his eldest son was in the same class as Zhang Guoer, and his ex-wife was Sun Xiaoxiao, the proprietress of the "Xiaoxiao Grocery Store". The second is because this person has some bad records.

In 2008, when Sun Xiaoxiao was pregnant and gave birth to a second child, Li Baoyuan was dealt with twice by the police for soliciting prostitution. Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't stand his bad behavior, and went through the divorce procedures with him with a tough attitude after the confinement. The two sons are now taken care of by Sun Xiaoxiao's parents, and Li Baoyuan will give their mother and son 2,000 yuan for living expenses every month, and will also visit his son at home every other day.

Mr. Li's silver-gray Chang'an single-row pickup truck was purchased in the spring of 2004 and registered in his name to initially buy goods for his family's grocery store. After the divorce, Li Baoyuan stopped working in the grocery store business and changed jobs, so he gave up the pickup truck to his younger brother to drive.

Speaking of Li Baoyuan's younger brother Li Baofang, this person's bad record is much worse than his brother's.

In 2005, 27-year-old Li Baofang spent three years in prison for child molestation. After being released from prison, because he couldn't find a satisfactory job, he had to borrow his brother's small truck and go around helping people pull goods and do some odd jobs. Although Li Baofang's performance in the past two years has been quite honest, it cannot be ruled out that he may have "itchy hands" again.

It's just that two brothers conspired to abduct a six-year-old girl, such a perverted case is rare in China, but it is not impossible. At this point, the Li brothers have become the primary targets of suspicion by the police, and it is necessary to confirm as soon as possible whether Zhang Guoer's disappearance is related to them.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Sun Xiaoxiao sat listlessly at the door of the grocery store, and the TV hanging on the wall turned on loudly, but she had no idea what was going on in the TV. Zhang Guoer's disappearance made her feel extremely sad, although it was not as good as the child's biological parents, but it also brought a great touch to her heart.

As soon as she returned from the police station in the afternoon, the first thing she did was rush to her parents' house to visit her two sons. As usual, the two troublemakers are still so naughty and naughty, but in Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes, they are unprecedentedly smart, lively, cute, and perfect, just like two angels sent by God.

It wasn't until that moment that she realized how ordinary and precious a happy life was. It is always with people, but few people can see it. But once it is gone, far away, people will immediately realize that the most precious happiness is actually in front of them, but people have not cherished it in the past.

Why envy other people's families, other people's lives, and other people's children, Sun Xiaoxiao no longer wants to complain that she failed to give birth to a sensible and well-behaved daughter. As long as her two children are safe and healthy and will not be harmed by bad people, she should be satisfied.

However, the arrival of the two policemen shattered the ordinary dream in her heart.

Sun smiled. A policeman with a serious expression showed her police officer card, "We suspect that your ex-husband Li Baoyuan is suspected of abducting Tian Yufen's daughter Zhang Guoer, please go back to the police station with us to assist in the investigation." ”

"You, what did you say?" Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned, as if she didn't understand what the other party said, "Are you mistaken?" Lao Li likes Guo'er very much, why should he ......"

"We also want to know why." Another policeman said coldly. Although he knew that Zhang Guo'er's disappearance should have nothing to do with Sun Xiaoxiao, he really couldn't face this woman with a good face at this time. "What kind of person is your ex-husband's younger brother Li Baofang, you should know very well in your heart, right?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoxiao's heart sank. Of course, she knew what crimes her brother-in-law had committed, and she never liked her child to come into contact with the so-called uncle. But if her ex-husband and his younger brother colluded to abduct the beloved Zhang Guoer, she still can't believe such a ridiculous thing after all.
