"It's all my fault...... It's all my fault! Li Hong sat on the steps in front of the building, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and his knuckles were shaking in the cold wind, "If I hadn't gone to Beijing, Lili wouldn't have happened at all!" ”

"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, it's not your fault." Li Hong's mother was still saying comforting words on the side, "It's natural for you to go to Beijing to receive the award, what a high honor it is, how can you not go!" If you want to blame Lili, this child is too stubborn, she ......"

"Enough!" Li Hong stood up angrily and startled his mother, "What award, what honor, what doctor, I won't read!" Are these diplomas, these awards so important to you? Is it worth more than Lili's life! At least not for me! There is nothing in this world that compares to my sister's life! ”

After Li Hong said these words, he ran into the dark night angrily without looking back.

Coincidentally, Xiaohong's run was bumping into the Yan team who went out to eat. Oh, at that time, the Yan team was not a strict team, it was just an ordinary police officer, a squad leader. But let's Xiaohong, when I saw the police uniform worn by Team Yan, I didn't recognize it, and I grabbed the collar and started scolding. ”

"You're a cop, aren't you?" The drunken Li Hong narrowed his eyes, blushed, and pulled Yan Junli's collar, "Police!" What do you all eat? ”

"What are you doing, let go of your hands!" Yan Junli pondered that he hadn't done anything recently, and he hadn't messed with anyone, so why he was entangled by someone for some reason.

"I won't let it go! Why should I put it! Li Hong's drunken eyes, red like a rabbit that had been forced to hurry, began to spit on Yan Junli's face, "Lili hasn't been found yet, what are you policemen doing!" She's alone, ah, and there's no fruit candy, and there's no little cloth bear, how can you let her hold on! Yes?! When she cried alone, what was I...... What kind of fart award does Beijing receive! ”

"Brother, hey, brother......" Yan Junli heard a little clue from Li Hongxu's babbling words, frowned, and at the same time took a hand to help Li Hong, who looked like mud, up, "What did you say?" Who's alone, to put it bluntly? ”

"Li Lili!" Li Hong shouted as if he was broken, causing everyone around him to look this way, "My four-and-a-half-year-old sister Li Lili!" She's gone! Missing! I haven't seen anyone for almost half a month! We called the police, but the police are! Until now, what are you telling me about the investigation, they didn't investigate at all! ”

"Is it a missing person? A four-and-a-half-year-old girl? Yan Junli patiently analyzed useful information from Li Hong's mouth, and patiently dragged the drunkard away, "I know, I swear to help you investigate, now let's go first-"

"Investigate! The investigation has a hairy use! Tune ......"

"Okay, okay, if it's useless, it's useless. You first- hey, don't spit on me! I'm going to wear this one tomorrow! ”

The next morning, Li Hong woke up dizzy and found himself lying on a simple bed in a hotel. Yan Junli was wearing a shirt and holding a basin to scrub the police uniform he wore last night.

After hearing Li Hong's movement after a while, Yan Junli also turned around and said stupidly, "Just in case, I can tell you first that nothing happened last night." ”

Li Hong sat up from the bed with his headache and his voice hoarse, "Why are you in my room?" ”

"First, this is not your room, this is a standard room in the Star-Spangled Hotel, and the cost is still paid by me, you better remember to pay me back." Yan Junli put down the half-washed clothes and turned around and said, "Second, the reason why you are here is because you don't even have half of the documents on you, and I don't have a place to send you home." ”

"Get out of here." Li Hong said without hesitation.

"What? You're just talking to the cops who dragged you back from the street with a drunken one? ”

"I don't want to see the police show up in my room!"

"First of all, I said this isn't your room." Yan Junli said sharply, "Secondly, I want to help you, I heard you talk about your sister, I want to ask you what's going on." ”

"Get out!"

After the disappearance of his sister Lili, Li Hong seemed to be a different person, burning all his academic books whose names he couldn't understand, quarreling with his family every day, and going out to get drunk if he didn't come. During this time, the little girl still hasn't been found. However, Li Hong didn't expect that Team Yan had been investigating the case privately after meeting him. What kind of character is Team Yan, sharp-eyed and careful. Originally, the missing person was not his business, but he was able to notice that several families had lost their children a few years old in the past month. But just when Team Yan went to Li Hong with the results of his investigation......"

"He refused?"

"Bingo (Bingo)."

"Mr. Li Hong!" Yan Junli knocked on the door, "I'm from the C City Police Department!" ”

After knocking for a while, the door opened, and behind the door was Li Hong's very ugly face. In addition to the unsightly expression, it also includes the obviously unhealthy complexion and dark circles under the eyes.

"I've finally found you, you're hard to find, Mr. Li." Yan Junli breathed a sigh of relief and took out the information in his hand, "I have good news about your four-and-a-half-year-old sister. Your sister isn't the first child to go missing around recently, in fact I've noticed a lot of reports of missing children lately, and I think that's why the Missing Persons Department hasn't heard anything from you, because they can't take care of it...... Are you listening to me? ”

"Nope." Li Hong simply said, and made an obvious gesture of refusal with his arm propped up on the door frame, "You better go back." ”

Yan Junli felt anger rush to his chest on the spot, "If I'm not mistaken, it's your own biological sister who is missing, right?" You don't care about it? Are you still worthy to be an older brother? ”

"It's not that I'm not worthy of being a brother!" Not to be outdone, Li Hong roared back, "Lili has been missing for more than a month and a half, what do you think are the chances that she is still alive!" Does it make any sense for me to do the research again? And these ...... It's all my fault! ”

"Now I'm pretty sure she's dead." Yan Junli sneered, put away the information and turned around and left.

"Wait!" Li Hong's heart was cold, and he immediately shouted, "What do you mean by this!" ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Junli turned his head abruptly and glared at Li Hong with burning eyes, "You haven't seen her corpse yet, you still don't know what is going on with this matter, you even gave up trying?" So what's the difference between her now and dead! I only know that I blindly give up on myself, I have seen a lot of people like you, and there is no difference between social dregs! ”

"How dare you say that!" At this moment, Li Hong's eyes were completely red, and he swung his fist up.

In the end, the two of them had a solid fight at the door of the building, and it was obviously Yan Junli who was beaten, but Li Hong finally sat on the ground and cried. The boy's handsome face was a mess wet with tears, and anyone could feel how desperate he was from his heart-rending roar.

However, with this move, both of them calmed down a lot, and Yan Junli and Li Hong sat on the sofa face to face with blue noses and swollen faces.

"So...... You're not going to detain me for assaulting a police officer, are you? ”

"Unless I don't first get dismissed for violence against innocent citizens." Yan Junli smiled bitterly, "It's been a long time since I've seen me up." ”

"You mean...... You didn't do well as a police officer? ”

"yes." Yan Junli smiled and folded his legs, "I'm a pretty bad policeman, I often don't listen to orders and act alone, which is not pleasing to the leader." ”

"For example?"

"For example, the disappearance of a person is not under my control, because it is not a criminal case. But I think there is a connection between these disappearances, and it's not that simple. Yan Junli spread his hands, "So I used my personal time to investigate, and after being found out by the captain, I was reprimanded on the spot." But I've always felt that human life is irreplaceable compared to the 'top priorities' written on the whiteboard in the office, let alone the lives of children. ”

"So what do you think......" Li Hong leaned forward, as if to bury his head in his knees, "do you think Lili has ......?"

"I don't know, no one knows." Yan Junli put his hand on the back of Li Hong's hand and shook it tightly, "If we don't make an effort to investigate, we will never know what happened, so even if she is really, gone, she shouldn't give up on herself like you." Because in this world, there is not only Lili a little girl, nor more than your own brother, if no one comes forward to find the truth of the matter, then there are more children who will be hurt. ”

Li Hong buried his face in his hands and sighed deeply, when he raised his head again, his eyes had changed, and he was no longer as dull as before.

"Lili used to really want to be a police officer." "She thinks the police are very brave when they catch the bad guys, and she says that the police are like tumblers, no matter how many times they knock them down, they will eventually stand up." But now, she can't realize that dream anymore......"

"Then I promise you." Yan Junli said softly, "Even if I am dismissed, I will find out the whereabouts of your sister and those children." ”

"But you all know the rest of the story." Xiao Zhang sighed, "Li Lili was found, but only her little corpse was found. This is the notorious case of child abuse in previous years, in which criminals kidnapped children of several years old and then sexually abused them. Some children survived strongly, while others ...... Like Lili, she didn't escape from the criminals. I heard that judging from the corpse, the little girl was still desperately resisting before she died, like a little hero, just like she had always dreamed of, to be a policeman and fight bad guys. ”

There was silence in the office for a while, and then someone asked softly, "What about Xiaohong?" How is he? ”

"I heard that when the body was found, Xiaohong's whole body almost collapsed, but thanks to the presence of the Yan team, he was able to regain his strength. It's not easy to say, after this case was cracked, Team Yan was not only not dismissed, but was appreciated by the director and directly promoted to his current position. I think Xiaohong decided to become a policeman, and that was when it happened. Xiao Zhang took a sip of the water cup, "He is such a smart person, he learns everything quickly, and it is easy to take the physical test no matter how hard he works, and in the end, he will be a colleague with us." ”

"No wonder Xiaohong and Team Yan are always inseparable." Xiao Wu joked, "Next time, I won't complain about Team Yan's partiality." ”

"Who is complaining about partiality?" As soon as the words fell, Yan Junli's voice came from the gate, and then Li Hong carried a large cardboard box and walked in behind Yan Junli.

"Nobody, nobody." A group of people hurriedly dispersed as birds and beasts, wrote reports, wrote reports, checked information, and made a human-like dog.

"Don't be lazy, I'm going to evaluate my performance at the end of the month." Yan Junli warned, and the office was immediately full of complaints.

Li Hong put the big cardboard box in the corner and blinked suspiciously, "Why do I always think that you are all looking at me." ”

"What's the matter, you're thinking too much." Someone smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down and work, be careful that the strict team knocks your buttocks." ”

Yan Junli immediately said, "Okay, okay, which green onion are you, why don't you knock his ass for me." ”

Everyone immediately laughed, and Li Hong laughed the most. Laughing and shaking his head, he sat down in his seat, turned the tumbler on the table to face him, and whispered:

"Good morning, Lili."
