When the plane arrived in Los Angeles at 16:44 local time, when Ye Wei drove his Ferrari sports car out of the airport and returned to Brentwood's home, it was almost 17:30, and Duoduo had been missing for nearly 12 hours and had not been found.

He didn't dare to think about what that meant, but he understood how bad it was.

He knew all the current situation, his parents and a lot of people were looking all day long, looking for it in Brentwood, and also looking for possible places around Santa Monica and Westwood.

The news of Duoduo's disappearance and her photos, he immediately posted it on his blog, hoping that after attracting media attention, more people would join the search team. As long as Duoduo is safe and sound, whether it is a fan or a paparazzi to find her, it will be a great blessing.

The second is to warn the bad guys not to beat her idea, she is not an ordinary child, and the power to find her will only grow, and it will not stop until you find her.

But in the recovery of the golden 24 hours, the most important thing is the good mechanism of the two alarm systems of the Adam system and the Amber system.

The rate of missing children in the United States is now 95 per cent, but 5 per cent is still unfound, a staggering 40,000 based on the 800,000 missing children a year.

40,000 children are gone, I don't know where they went, what happened to them, and what happened to them.

From the police investigation after receiving the report of the child's disappearance, to the two major alarm systems, behind the tragedy after tragedy, the missing and murdered 6-year-old boy Adam, and the 9-year-old girl Amber who was kidnapped while riding a bicycle and had her throat cut.

And "Susie", no, no, if this is a movie, it's also "The Wizard of Oz", where Duoduo and Toto go to a magical world and return safely after an adventure.

"Toto. Ye Wei walked into the house, Toto greeted him, he hadn't seen him for half a month but he didn't have any enthusiasm, he licked him a few times and lay on the side of the door, listless and self-blaming. He patted it and walked quickly to the living room, only to see his parents sitting on the sofa, both looking sluggish.

Mom's eyes were red, there were only tears in her eyes, and she couldn't see her usual look, as if she had lost her soul.

Dad's face was low, and the fortitude of the fight was also covered with visible cracks, which would break at any time, and he looked at it, "Only." ”

The words were not far away, and the silent air seemed to be condensing.

"Mom, Dad, everything will be fine. Ye Wei walked away, but the comforting voice did not get a response from the two, and her mother choked up and said, "It's almost dark." ”

The sun sets at eight o'clock in Los Angeles in June, and the sky is completely dark at half past eight, and there are about 3 hours left before night comes. If Duoduo can't be found, no one dares to think about how dangerous she will be outside, how scared she will be, and no one dares to imagine her current situation.

Ye Wei saw the message paper placed on the coffee table, picked it up and looked at it, five big simplified Chinese characters "I am looking for my brother" were written on the white drawing paper with colored pens of different colors, blue, yellow, red, brown, "brother" is red, in her heart, he is red, like a flame.

Next to the text is a tall man with black hair, a smiling face, and a soccer ball...... No, that's her brother in her heart.

"It's going to be fine. Ye Wei said again, holding the message tightly with both hands.

"Do you have any ideas, where will Duoduo be?" Mom's sand voice was somewhat hopeful.

"I ...... I do not know. Ye Wei didn't want to say that, he was thinking about it all the way back from Philadelphia, but he couldn't think of it.

I searched all the neighborhoods of Barrington Dog Park, the parks and possibilitys of Brentwood, the Getty Center, the Country Club, his residence in Santa Monica, his father's clinic, the beach, Berkeley Hall, and even the Harvard-Westlake campus.

In fact, Duoduo is so small, it is impossible for her to know the way to these places, and the most likely thing is that she will get lost soon after leaving the dog park. It's just that she pedaled her bike, and even if she didn't pedal fast, she could go far in an hour, and now in 12 hours, she could have stepped on downtown, Burbank, Malibu, and Long Beach......

But that is unlikely to go unnoticed by passers-by and call the police. Unless she didn't wander much, hiding, or running into the mountains to the north, or.

She was abducted by bad guys in a dog park or somewhere.

"We keep looking. Dad stood up, and Mom also stood up, "Let's go to your room first and see if Duoduo has taken anything with her." ”

Duo Duo had been to his bedroom and had an alarm clock to use, and she probably took something else, maybe it would be a clue.

Ye Wei nodded, put down the message paper in his hand, looked at it again, took his parents upstairs to his bedroom, and began to look at it.

The room had been rummaged through and put back in place, and he looked at the many things around him, but he was at a loss. After moving out at the beginning of the year, he rarely went home, and he could count dozens of fingers for the time he stayed overnight, and this room made him feel rusty, rummaging around, and I didn't know if there was anything missing.

"Anything?" asked Mom anxiously.

"I don't know......" Ye Wei could only say this.

Mom's eyes narrowed in anger, and she ran briskly outside the room, "We don't have time to waste, Duoduo is still wandering outside!" Dad looked at him with complicated eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and walked quickly.

Ye Wei is still looking around the complicated surroundings, beds, computer desks, bookcases, desks, utility cabinets, black stone slabs, R2D2...... Is there something missing?

I don't know, only a burning chaos.

He took a deep breath and ran after him, wondering where Duoduo would be.

The more people who are looking for it, the better, but you also need to stay at home alone, so as not to make a mistake if Duoduo comes back by herself. It was Mrs. Langdon's family who helped, who were equally anxious, and Duoduo was the little angel of the whole community.

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao drove to the National Veterans Park southeast of the dog park to look for it, and also asked many friends to look for it in various places.

Ye Wei too, in the morning, he indiscriminately sent a text message to the group of friends:

"My 5-year-old sister Dorothy, who ran away from home this morning because she was looking for me, drove away a yellow children's bicycle and took a blue children's backpack, the last known sight of which was Barrington Dog Park in Brentwood, Los Angeles. I have a picture of her on my blog. If any of you are free, please help find her, if you see her, if you have any clues, please contact me immediately! No reply, no time to speak, thank you!"

There are still many close friends who replied and comforted, everyone who is free in Los Angeles immediately helps, who are not free to find time, and who are not in Los Angeles also help to inquire and spread news, all doing their best.

"Duoduo is a smart girl, she knows how to ask others for help when she needs to, it's fine. Gia, who had almost broken off her friendship before, didn't say a word, and took a team of friends to look for a day, and now she is looking for it east of Santa Monica.

"She may have passed by the Shooter Girls' School, but we couldn't find a clue. Emma, who said she was a friend but didn't get in touch, was also looking for her, and was now north of Brentwood.

"Brother Wei, Duoduo is just playing tricks on us, it must be fine. "Lev, Chen Nuo, they are all looking for it, as long as it is in Los Angeles.

And many more.

These kindnesses, helping hands, and friendships that have never really left have made Ye Wei more and more frightened as time passes, and so many people can't find them when they're looking for them.

It also made him have a judgment, Duoduo didn't go far, she hid, hiding in a location that no one had ever been found, and there could be hundreds of such locations within a mile. But it shouldn't be in a residential area, and she knows that she can't trespass on people's houses, even if it's an idle house, and she is most likely hiding in a park wooded area.

But most of the people have been looking for those places for a long time.

It was getting closer and closer to sunset, Ye Wei drove an open-top sports car in the streets and alleys around Barrington Dog Park, driving very slowly, paying attention to both sides, and constantly shouting along the way: "Duoduo, my brother is back, come out quickly!"

He knew that he was looking for a needle in a haystack, but he launched, requested, hired, and propagandized...... He can let others do everything for him, what else can he do.

When it was 7 o'clock, Duoduo had been missing for 13 hours, and there was still no news. The longer you are missing, the less likely you are to be safe.

Why? Ye Wei didn't want to think about the reason, but some thoughts couldn't help but come to his mind.

What happened to Duoduo? If it was a traffic accident, there would be news, but what other accidents were there? What bad guy kidnapped her?

She's so cute and pretty......

Ye Wei's heart suddenly hurt unbearably, so he had to stop the car on the side of the road, breathe heavily, look at the front of the street, and silently prayed: God, bless Duoduo! If she is abducted, please don't be a pedophile, just a trafficker for money, it didn't hurt her, she is fine......

A flash of light flashed.

"I know where she is!"

Duoduo is a gifted child, she entered the genius class at school, she has always had a good memory, and she probably remembers a camping trip in the Mandeville Valley last summer, and he and Nina made a secret base with her. He didn't know how she knew her way, but there she was!

Ye Wei hurriedly started the car and immediately rushed to the Mandeville Valley in the north, and after more than twenty minutes, the car drove up to the top of a mountain, and he saw some tourists who were ready to watch the sunset, but he couldn't see any flowers.

"Hey, did you see a little girl on a bicycle?"

The tourists looked at him inexplicably.

"Duoduo!?" he parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and ran out to the secret base in his memory, but it was already overgrown with grass, and the trees of the simple cabin were scattered on the ground, all moldy and rotten, and he couldn't see the slightest appearance in his impression.

He brushed aside the dense weeds and looked around, "Duoduo, my brother is here, are you there?"

There was no response, no shadow of a cherub rushing out.

Duoduo is not here, she can't know the way here.

Ye Wei fell to the ground weakly, crushed some weeds, looked up at the sunset red sky, and began to fall into the night.

The openness of the valley only increased to a blank slate, and he closed his eyes, and then got up and ran back to the sports car on the other side.

As he drove back to the Getty Center in his sports car, he received a call from his father, whose voice was so heavy that he could barely speak: "However, the police found Duoduo's bicycle and backpack ......"

With a buzz, Ye Wei was a little blindsided, and found her bicycle and backpack, but did not find her.

No!! at least there are clues.

It was found near the Getty Center, and it was clear that Duoduo had left the dog park and headed north. It didn't take a few minutes for Ye Wei to arrive, this area is an undeveloped residential area, with large villas and mansions here and there, and many wilderness-like woods.

Duoduo's bicycle and backpack were found lying on the side of the road, with a little bruised flesh and blood on the mud and sand, and she fell while cycling around the corner, as if she was running away in a hurry, and she couldn't even protect the wheels.

Just in front of the woods, a terrifying black half-length scarecrow hung from a pine tree, perhaps a young man hung on it to scare passers-by, or maybe it was some kind of activity site. Duoduo is most likely to be frightened by this scarecrow and run away, or it could be for other reasons......

Led by several policemen and parents, Ye Wei saw the scarecrow, the familiar black ......

Everything is messed up.

Everything was messed up.

He suddenly rushed over and punched and kicked the pine tree, shouting, "Ah!!hhhh

Messed up, like now, he wanted to hit the scarecrow, but hit the pine tree, the number one fool in the world.

"Only!" Gu Qiao shouted, tears streaming down his eyes.

"His horse's bastard......" Ye Wei gasped and walked back. Ye Haogen handed Duoduo's backpack to him and didn't say anything. Ye Wei was carrying this small blue backpack, but he felt that his heart was pressed by the trillions of catties like the whole sky, and he opened the backpack, only to see that it was full of candy and snacks, as well as ......

He picked up a map of the Dungeons and Dragons inside, and finally knew what was missing in the room, and picked up a children's colored pen drawing, and under the smiling face of the blue sky, white clouds and sun, a room stood there, and a white-haired puppy was playing in the front yard.

Home, a warm home.

"Brother, I've got a new picture! When will I be back? I'm going to give it to you. ”

Duoduo, you draw so well, much better than rice cakes.

Tears welled up in her eyes, Ye Wei retracted, strode towards the loop, and said loudly: "Duoduo is not here! Those blood stains have dried up, she has already left this area, we can't just stay here." ”

It's been 14 and a half hours, how long has Duoduo lost her backpack? 13 hours?12 hours? Has she eaten anything during this time? What about the water? If she hadn't been abducted, if she hadn't had an accident, she would be hiding somewhere starving and scared, and it was already dark, how long could she last? She was only 5 years old.

On the way, Dad and Mom seemed to say something, but he couldn't hear it, so he got into the sports car and drove away, Duoduo went to the north, it was unlikely to go back to the south, the scarecrow blocked the northeast, and she was most likely to flee to the west.

"Duoduo, Duoduo, are you there? I'm my brother, do you hear?"

Ye Wei drove towards the west, shouting while searching.

The passage of time is not affected by anyone's will, Duoduo disappeared for 15 hours, and it was nine o'clock in the evening, and the night sky was pitch black.

After all, people have their own things, and they also have to eat and rest, the 24-hour golden time is getting less and less, the danger of Duoduo is getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer people looking for Duoduo, and there are fewer and fewer places to find them.

"Duoduo......" Ye Wei wandered to a halfway mountainside in the Mandeville Valley, looking at the city at night, every place was hidden dangerous, and it was almost early in the morning.

On June 9, Duoduo disappeared for 18 hours. The night sky was collapsing, and the blackness was drowning everything.

The Ferrari was parked on the side of a quiet street, and the dim streetlights reflected the eerie red of the body, and there was a dead silence inside.

Ye Wei lowered his head and gradually fell on the steering wheel, his shoulders trembled slightly, his red eyes were filled with tears, wetting the steering wheel, and the suppressed cry was very light and light, becoming heavy breathing and intermittent wheezing.

Everything was messed up......

I don't know how long it took, but there was no crying, only tears were falling.

There is only darkness.

Suddenly, the mobile phone placed on the passenger seat rang, Ye Wei took it without looking up, raised it to his ear and connected it, and his voice was hoarse: "Hello?"

"I found her. ”
