Xu Zheng did not discuss the case with Yan Lao first, because he had not read the specific file.

After sending Li Mingsheng away, he took Zhu Qing and Pei Tianshi to watch the file of the "2026.7.12" case together.

At 9:10 p.m. on July 12, 2026, at the place where the capital and Jin city meet, the local police station received a call from the 110 command center.

In Gaozhuang Village, they have a district, and someone called the police to say that their child was lost.

Because it was pouring rain at that time, four police officers on duty were dispatched at that time.

It took more than ten minutes to arrive at Gaoshan Village.

Although Gaoshan Village belongs to the city of Beijing, it is similar to the countryside in other parts of the country, and the whole village is not large.

The cameras installed by the villagers themselves in front of the door did not capture any effective clues in the heavy rain and dark night.

The police rushed to the scene and saw the informant in the rainstorm, Gao Yuhang, who had just returned from driving his two-year-old son today.

The car stopped in front of his house, because there was no umbrella in the car, he was afraid of drenching his son, and he didn't let his daughter-in-law come out to pick it up, thinking that he would go home in the rain to get an umbrella.

As a result, he went in and out, and the whole process took less than three minutes, and when he came back, his son who was sitting in the back seat was gone.

According to his own account, even if his son could unlock the safety seat, he could not open the car door, but when he returned, the car door was locked, but the child was not found.

Gao Yuhang mobilized his family and the whole village to search for the entire village, but to no avail, so he called 110.

After the local police station arrived at the scene, they attached great importance to it and reported it level by level, and immediately contacted the police at all levels within a radius of 100 miles from Gaoshan Village.

Including the police in the Tsushibao area.

Set up a card to intercept all passing pedestrians and vehicles, but Gao Yuhang's child seemed to evaporate from the world, and the police ended the large-scale investigation after searching for a period of time.

And this case became an unsolved case.

Gao Yuhang has also become a new family searcher...

After reading this case, Xu Zheng flipped through another case that was being handled together, and found that the two children were lost in a similar situation.

Rainy night, the location of the crime is between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, there is no camera nearby or not photographed, the children are only more than two years old, and no fingerprints have been left...

The only thing that helped the case was that in the second case, a passer-by saw a person wearing a raincoat and carrying a bag that seemed to be fertilizer more than ten kilometers away from the crime site after the crime.

Other than that, there is no clue at all.

Ten years of abduction operations have not found the suspicious person and the two children.

Xu Zheng turned to the last page, and there were many conjectures written down by the investigators who handled the case.

Unfortunately, it all proved to be useless.

However, Xu Zheng has the same point of view as them, that is, eighty percent of the two children are gone.

Therefore, the police crackdown on abduction and Gao Yuhang's search for relatives seem to be doing useless work.

But the reality is that they know that it is impossible, and they are also holding on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to find the lost child.

Xu Zheng put down the file, took a deep breath, put away his sympathy, and looked at Yan Lao, who was sitting on the side and drinking a cup of tea.

This old man's retirement life is obviously very good, but what people didn't expect is that he is willing to hide in this remote archive.

It's ten years.

Even if you are approaching your old age, you still don't change your original intention.

Xu Zheng admired the old man very much in his heart, and if it were him, he really didn't dare to say that after retirement, he would choose to enter the archives.

"Elder Yan, you just said that you have a new idea about this case, can you talk about it?"

Hearing this, the white-haired Old Man Yan immediately came to his senses, and his slightly cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, "Then my old man will throw bricks and jade to see if he can give you some inspiration."

In this case, we have already started with the whereabouts of human traffickers, that is, suspected suspects, and children.

After so many years, everything that can be checked has been checked, and I thought that your mine-sweeping operations were carried out

There will be a reward.

But looking at it now, the comprehensive upgrade of the Tianyan system in China may not be able to find the suspect and the child.

So I was like, please come over and help make a mock portrait of the two children and the suspect.

Maybe it's a clue."

As soon as Xu Zheng heard this, he realized that the old man was poor in donkey skills, and there were not many experts and professors who could do simulated portraits.

I've definitely done this before.

However, he did not refuse, "These are not problems, but Elder Yan should also know that this investigation route may not be effective."

Xu Zheng thought that he would be angry when he said this, but he didn't expect Old Man Yan to sigh and spread his hands in frustration, "When the manpower is finally exhausted, look at this iron box full of archives.

Even if there are ten mes, a hundred mes, they can't be broken."

Xu Zheng couldn't imagine that the old man was more fragile than his appearance, and explained: "Look at what you said, where is this, you have been a policeman all your life, can you not know that some cases do not require effort at all, luck comes, and the kung fu of drinking saliva will be solved."

"Haha..." Elder Yan lifted his spirits, pointed at Xu Zheng and laughed, "What you said is also true, it seems that the luck of this case depends on you."

Zhu Qing helped his team leader on the side, "What your old man said will definitely come true, and our team leader Xu has come all the way."

Skill goes hand in hand."

Xu Zheng waved his hand and said honestly, "What ability? I was just lucky."

Seeing that Xu Zheng was very modest, and he was not a dull face-loving person, Yan Lao already recognized this young man in his heart at this time.

But recognition is recognition, and over the years, there have been many young people he has taken a fancy to, but in the end, this case has not been solved.

Therefore, he changed his words, put away the smile on his face, stared at Xu Zheng's eyes, and asked seriously, "Xiao Xu, if this case is according to your ideas, what should you do in the first step?"

Xu Zheng knew that Yan Lao was testing his ability, and he was also thinking about this question when he was looking at the file just now.

At this time, he did not sort out all the details of this case, and he did not hide it, "I think so, if I am the person in charge of this case, the first step is to go to the scene of the child's disappearance.

If there are no clues, we will investigate the suspect, the interpersonal relationship of the human trafficker Liang Huan."

Yan Lao frowned, Xu Zheng's arrangement was not surprising, it could be regarded as steady, "It's right for you to go and see the situation on the scene, it's just that ten years have passed, and many places have changed.

However, in the dossier, there is a video taken back then, which you can use as a reference.

As for Liang Huan, a trafficker, his interpersonal relationships, what we can contact for so many years is either in prison, or marrying a wife and having children in his hometown, or marrying...

It's not easy to look up!"

Xu Zheng naturally knew that it was not easy to investigate, if this case was easy, why bother looking for him, "Old Yan, don't think too highly of me.

I just said that I used to solve cases by luck, but it's not a lie."

It is great luck to have a system, and it is not by luck to solve the case with the help of the system.

It's just that he told the truth, Yan Lao, they only treated him as humble.

"Xiao Xu, without further ado, let's leave now, go early and return early, how about it?" Yan Lao looked at his watch, ten o'clock in the morning.

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows, he only had three days off this time, and today he wanted to go home early to accompany Sister Xiaorui to the capital.

But seeing Yan Lao's truth-seeking gaze, he didn't dare to drag it back any longer, "Then let's leave now?"

Soon the group drove all the way to the east, walked for more than an hour, and arrived at the destination.

Fortunately, Gao Yuhang, the father of the missing child, happened to be at home today.

Seeing Yan Lao coming to the door, he and his wife immediately warmly invited Xu Zheng and his party into the house.

On the way here, Xu Zheng also heard Yan Lao tell the story of Gao Yuhang in the past ten years.

Thanks to the very high popularity of Douyin ten years ago, Gao Yuhang quit his job and donated as a volunteer to find relatives

, officially joined the family search team.

After ten years of traveling, his own children were not found, but he also helped many relatives find their biological flesh and blood.

is also a well-known figure in the family search world, and Douyin fans are not less than 2 million.

A live broadcast can earn more than 100,000 yuan.

Looking at it this way, he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise and has found the cause he has fought for all his life.

It's just that Xu Zheng is a little worried, if the country really achieves no crutches in the world, where should they, the Internet celebrities looking for relatives, go?

Speaking of his family, the child disappeared, his wife suffered from depression, and after so many years, relying on his parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law, the small family barely survived.

Three years ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter, which was a bond for the family that was about to be broken up.

In fact, Gao Yuhang and his family were persuaded by the investigators who handled the case more than once that it was unnecessary to go out to find relatives.

In other words, even if his child was abducted and trafficked, looking at it now, there is more than one luck.

But looking for children is Gao Yuhang's belief, maybe you have to see people in life and corpses in death, so that this iron-clad man can accept the facts.

Walking into Gao Yuhang's home, a three-story rural villa, just the decoration and furnishings in it have been on the years.

The owner's house is not much maintained, and the corners of the walls are peeled, and the cracks in the walls are not repaired.

Gao Yuhang's wife heard the movement and walked out with her daughter in her arms, maybe she gave birth to a new child, and her depression was almost good.

Very warmly invited Xu Zheng and his party to sit on the sofa.

As soon as he sat down, before he could drink his saliva, Gao Yuhang couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Yan, do you have good news for this time?"

Yan Lao smiled, shook his head slightly, and pointed at Xu Zheng, "I'm ashamed, it's not that I'm here this time because the case has made great progress.

But...

Let me introduce you to it.

This young policeman's name is Xu, don't look at him young, he is a rare talent in criminal investigation.

No, he's starting to take on the case now, so I'm bringing him to meet you."

Gao Yuhang has traveled north and south in the past ten years, and has seen all kinds of people, etc., and has already learned not to judge heroes by age, he looked at Xu Zheng seriously this time, and the more he looked, the more he was surprised.

grabbed Xu Zheng's hands and said in surprise, "Are you the officer Xu who Changming?

The one who is very good at making mock portraits?"

Xu Zheng didn't expect his reputation to be so loud in the abduction circle, he personally came forward to help several Internet celebrities who were looking for relatives to find their children.

But then he hid behind the scenes, and the news on the Internet that he would simulate the portrait was also deleted at the behest of the leaders of the provincial department.

Since he was recognized, Xu Zheng didn't pretend to be a hidden boss, and confessed: "I am Xu Zheng, and I do know some skills in simulating portraits..."

"Xu... Officer!"

Suddenly, a surprise sounded in everyone's ears.

Xu Zheng looked back, it turned out to be Gao Yuhang's wife, and she was looking at him expectantly.

"Officer Xu, I often hear my head of the family talk about you, saying that you have helped many people find their relatives and find their children.

You can do well, show mercy, and help us find the great treasure, okay?"

Xu Zheng saw that she was too excited, and the daughter in her arms shrank into her arms in fear, and hurriedly comforted, "Don't be so excited, don't scare the child.

Listen to me...

Yan Lao and I came to your house to investigate clues.

Now that this case is in my hands, I will definitely do my best."

It is not a simple matter to persuade a pair of parents who have lost their sons, and in the end, Xu Zheng and Yan Lao took turns to fight, so that the two of them were able to calmly talk about what happened back then.

Under Gao Yuhang's narration, everyone followed him to the door, "Look at my BYD seal, which has been parked here for ten years...

I...

As soon as we saw it, we thought of my stolen son..."

Xu Zheng saw a seven-foot man with his own eyes and tears flowing down his heart when he talked about his sadness, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

But he still abandoned sympathy and empathy, and asked, "Mr. Gao, I remember you told the police back then.

It was pouring rain that night, and you ran into the house to get an umbrella because you were worried about your child getting wet.

It's not more than three minutes in between, isn't it?"

"That's right!" Gao Yuhang insisted and explained, "I just had my first child, and I was so pampered that I knew that he would definitely be afraid to cry when I left the car for a long time.

So I'm going to go and come back quickly.

I didn't expect that after I was delayed for more than two minutes, my son was stolen by that crazy trafficker."

Xu Zheng ignored the indignation behind Gao Yuhang, but looked at the road in front of Gao's house, "There were no cameras in front of your house at that time.

But the front and rear dash cams in the car did not find the figure coming.

So, the person who stole your son at that time should be familiar with the environment in your neighborhood.

Also know the camera location of your seal van.

Then let me ask you again, are you sure you don't know that Liang Huan at all?"

As soon as Liang Huan was mentioned, the ruthlessness on Gao Yuhang's body was exposed, his summer clothes couldn't cover his whole body, and he could see the scars left by some farm tools on his waist.

It seems that his journey to find his child is also very bumpy.

"Officer Xu, I really don't know that miscellaneous person, including my friends and people I don't deal with, I inquired, no one knows him..."

This was expected by Xu Zheng, according to Liang Huan's archives, he was still an addict.

The general opinion of the investigators who handled the case before was that Liang Huan should have been addicted to hair at the time and had no money on him, so he happened to be passing by here, and when he heard the child's crying, he abducted the child away.

It was also a heavy rain at that time, which covered the camera and also covered up a lot of traces.

"In which direction were you chasing this road in front of your door?"

Gao Yuhang pointed to the east, "I came back from the west, and I didn't see anyone on the road at that time, so I searched my house and car that day, but there was no one.

And he immediately went to the east.

Unfortunately, I ran five miles east, and I didn't see a single figure or a passing car."

Xu Zheng looked east in the direction he pointed, and ten miles to the east was the Bao area of Jinshi, generally speaking, the police from the police station would not go out of the province or city to handle the case.

However, units at all levels attached great importance to the loss of the child, so the police in the Bao area were notified at that time.

Yan Lao looked at Xu Zheng and looked at the east with a deep expression, and he added, "Ten years ago, at the junction of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, compared with the city, there was a huge economic gap.

So the cameras here aren't too dense.

Including the cameras installed on provincial and municipal highways, there are fewer cameras than those in the city."

Xu Zheng understood what he meant, that ten years ago, cameras near the crime scene did not provide clues.

But if he escaped Gaozhuang Village with his children in a short time, the trafficker Liang Huan had to drive.

Then the question arises.

In which direction was he going?
