Chapter 2: The Disappearance of My Daughter

The grieving father tearfully told Yang Zi about the events before and after his daughter's disappearance. There is a folk custom here, and every time there is a god birthday, spontaneous theatrical performances are held in front of the big and small temples in the town to show respect to the gods. This kind of drama varies in scale, sometimes it is a live performance, sometimes a puppet show. The day before yesterday coincided with the 13th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the legend is that it is the birthday of Emperor Guan, and the small temple in the town is lively early in front of the door, and the gongs and drums are noisy for puppet performances. On that day, the streets were bustling with people and the lights were bright, and almost every household had people walking outside, or watching a show or playing in the street. Xiaoyudian's mother has to work the night shift and gets off work at half past one in the morning, and my father has to go to stock the next morning because of business, so he goes to bed very early. She is a very well-behaved and good child, and after she finished her homework seriously, she couldn't help the attraction of the gongs and drums of the puppet show, and asked her father if she could go and see it, and come back after watching it. Xiaoyudian's father fell asleep on the bed, thinking that it was not far anyway, and the street was very lively and there would be nothing to do, so he agreed with her to go and see, and also instructed her not to run around, and came back directly after reading, Xiaoyudian agreed and left happily. However, who would have thought that the child would never come back...... Xiaoyudian's father clenched his fists tightly and said to himself: "It's all my fault, I thought it was not far from the door of the house, and I was afraid that I wouldn't accompany her because I was tired, so she ......" After speaking, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and cried again.

"Oh? Disappeared the night before yesterday? Did you report the crime? Yang Zi asked, frowning and thinking, watching the puppet show, the small temple, right at the door of the house, well, this information is worth noting.

"My wife came back from work and didn't see the children and asked me, and I said she went to see a puppet show. Only then did we realize that something was wrong, and it was too late for her to come back, so we came out to look for it. After looking for it all night and not finding it, we went to work at the police station at dawn, so we went to report the case. Little Raindrop's father sobbed and recalled. The news of Xiaoyudian's disappearance attracted the attention of the police station, and they organized several search teams to search for the poor little girl everywhere, and the enthusiastic residents of the town also spontaneously organized themselves to help find her. This simple town has never happened like this, so everyone is in a hurry. In the process of searching, there are also some discussions, some people think that Xiaoyudi was taken away by the puppet class; Some people think that the little girl is very cute, but she was abducted and sold. There are all kinds of sayings, and when Xiaoyudian's parents heard these words, their already frightened hearts became more and more panicked. Seeing that forty or fifty hours had passed, but there was no news of the child, everyone thought that the child had already been abducted and left the town, but no one thought that while everyone was searching for her, this poor child was lying silently in this gloomy banana plantation, with a pair of eyes that could no longer have innocence and loveliness, and asked the gods in the sky why he had such an encounter!

At this time, Lin Shanshan walked over to this side, her expression was solemn, and her beautiful eyes revealed a kind of anger that Yang Zi had never seen. Yang Zi knew that she must have discovered something, so he greeted her. The two men stood at a distance from everyone, and they were close to each other. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, I saw Yang Zi's hand clenched into a fist, the tighter he squeezed, and the expression on his face became more and more serious, after listening to what Lin Shanshan said, Yang Zi's teeth were clenched tightly, the green tendons on his face and neck were exposed, and his whole body was in anger, and his whole body seemed to be burned by an invisible flame. After talking to Yang Zi, Lin Shanshan's expression turned from anger to sadness, a tear quietly slipped down from her eyes, she desperately adjusted her emotions and endured the pain in her heart. Yang Zi turned his head to look for the figure of Director Liu of the police station, and found that he was hoarsely trying to calm the emotions of the villagers on the edge of the cordon, so he strode towards him.

Director Liu frowned, and after listening to Yang Zi's introduction to him, this strong man's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked Yang Zi in a low voice with resentment: "Are you sure?" After receiving Yang Zi's affirmative reply, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I'll arrange someone to investigate." ”

Xiaoyudian's body was sent to a room temporarily vacated by the police station for interlocation. When her little body was carried out of the banana orchard in a plastic bag specially designed for the corpse, her parents, her neighbors, and all the villagers in her town could no longer hold back and let out a cry of grief when they saw her miserable appearance through the plastic bag. For the sake of this poor child, for the sake of her age, she was brutally murdered like this, for the sake of her premature disappearance. The atmosphere of the scene suddenly reached a boiling point, and everyone desperately crowded around her, all wanting to see her again and see her well-behaved appearance that disappeared forever. The policemen present all raised their right hands solemnly, and each of them used their most standard military salute to bid farewell to this ten-year-old girl who would never laugh again. Her parents stumbled after her in the crowd, all the while spreading their hands in vain to her body, as if to say, Come back, my daughter, let Mom and Dad look at you again; Come back, my daughter, and let us love you well one more time.

In the conference room with the door closed, Director Liu presided over a press conference on the case, and he suppressed his anger and informed the police officers sitting in the conference room of the results of Lin Shanshan's examination of the body. After the briefing, he asked Yang Zi to make arrangements for the next step. Yang Zi did not refuse, and directly issued orders to everyone: the first group, led by Director Liu, set up whistles around the town to prevent criminal suspects from escaping; The second group, led by the crows, visited and investigated the neighbors of Xiaoyudian's house; The third group, led by Yang Zi, investigated the people who had watched the puppet show that day, Xiaoyudian disappeared in the process of watching the puppet show, and someone must have seen her last sight. Lin Shanshan took Qiqi to continue to conduct further examinations on Xiaoyudian's body, striving for more evidence. After arranging, he waved his hand and set off in each group. As soon as his words fell, the policemen who had been indignant by the investigation of Xiaoyudian's corpse introduced by Director Liu had already clenched their fists one by one and replied loudly: "Yes!" Under the leadership of the team leader, they acted according to the assigned tasks.
