Chapter 241: Searching for the Missing Person (4)
When Jin Guoping returned to the hotel, he found that the missing person notice he had placed close to him was missing.
He anxiously rummaged through the pockets of his clothes and trousers, and then opened his suitcase and rummaged through it.
You don't have to think about it to know that the missing person notice with her daughter's information can't be in the suitcase. He had traveled all the way to the local hospital and hadn't opened his suitcase today.
Jin Guoping asked the tenant in the same room, went out of the room again, searched all the way down the corridor, and arrived at the lobby of the hotel, and asked the waiter at the front desk of the lobby several times, but still did not find the missing person notice.
It wasn't a missing person notice in his suitcase without backups. It's just that the missing person notice took years. Ever since he set out from his hometown to look for his daughter, the missing person notice has been with him.
Suddenly, the missing person notice was lost, and Jin Guoping only felt a strong sense of unease. It's like some kind of ominous omen, and it makes people panic.
The hotel where Jin Guoping lives is a youth hostel, and the chase shop he chose has two tenants in the room.
A young man who looked to be in his thirties looked at Jin Guoping, who was distracted, and asked a few words kindly.
He knew that Jin Guoping had come from out of town to look for his daughter, and he had just lost the missing person notice printed with his daughter's information, but he didn't know the details.
“…… Uncle, don't you have any other missing person notices? You should have a lot of this kind of paper, right? The young man gave Jin Guoping an idea, "If you don't have it, call home quickly and ask them to send it." If you don't know how to use a computer, I'll help you find a place to print some. I have a computer with me, so I can collect documents. Just find a place to print it. It doesn't cost much either. ”
Jin Guoping looked gloomy, "I have others." He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled at the young man, thanking him for his kindness.
Jin Guoping was a college student on the upper bunk, and at this time, he came down and curiously inquired about Jin Guoping. The young man also sat on the bed and listened patiently to Jin Guoping's story.
When Jin Guoping first spoke, he stumbled, and some couldn't find the logic of the narrative.
He started by saying it, and then he remembered.
This is the fourth year that Jin Guoping has been looking for his daughter. His daughter went missing when she was just over 10 years old. They called the police, and they searched the town for a long time, asking people everywhere. After looking for more than a year, there is still no news of my daughter. At that time, the family was sad and sad, but Jin Guoping and his wife had parents who needed to be supported, and another child, who was young enough. They supported each other through the first difficult days and gradually gave up.
"The second child is also a daughter, and then gave birth to the third child, who is a son. After having the third child, I don't think so much about the boss. It's the truth. At that time, the old and the young, had to be taken care of. When the old man in the family died, the third child worked, and the second child got married and had children, the two of us remembered the eldest again. Jin Guoping lowered his head, "We go to the police station every year to ask what DNA to do for blood drawing, in the city, and in the country's lost children's files, we do it." People just can't find it. No news at all. Seeing that the second and third children are married, thinking that the eldest doesn't know where he is, the two of us are on fire in our hearts. ”
Youth and university students listened in silence, sighing from time to time.
“…… My wife met a fortune teller, and he was not a serious fortune teller, but he had learned both hands when he was young. He's a neighbor near our house, we've known him for many years, and I didn't know he knew this before, and he didn't mention it. Our youngest grandson was born that year, and his eyes looked exactly like the eldest one. We really want to be the boss. The fortune teller listened to my wife a few times before he helped us do the math. Jin Guoping smiled bitterly, "He counted the boss's birthday, and said that the boss died young, and he should have died a long time ago." ”
The college student was stunned, and the young man looked at Jin Guoping in surprise. Neither of them expected Jin Guoping to change his words and talk about fortune-telling.
Jin Guoping didn't look at the looks of the two, "My wife doesn't believe it, and I don't believe it either." That's all about listening. If it's good, you'll probably believe it. But the more time passed, the more sad the two of us became. I took early retirement at that time. I didn't have much to do at home, so I found a few odd jobs and did it for a while. I saw the news at that time that the abducted child had been found decades later. I thought of going to the boss. ”
Jin Guoping thought about it together, and he couldn't hold it back. His wife was worried about him, but she also wanted to find her lost daughter. Jin Guoping's family discussed for a while before agreeing that Jin Guoping would go out to work, doing odd jobs while looking for his daughter everywhere.
They don't really have a lot of rules.
After groping around like a headless fly for a while, Jin Guoping met someone who had a similar experience to himself. He listened to other people's experiences and stared at police stations, funeral homes and hospitals.
This search is four years.
Jin Guoping was originally looking for people while working, but for more than a year, he simply concentrated on finding people. His two children have given him a lot of support, and his wife who stays at home has given him peace of mind to find his daughter.
After walking so much, he gradually felt that the fortune teller was right. His daughter is supposed to be dead. I just don't know where I died, how I died, and whether I had someone with me when I died.
“…… Otherwise, such a big girl, if she can come back, she will definitely get it back. Jin Guoping said.
College students immediately thought of the news about the abduction and trafficking of women and children. If people are abducted to that kind of place, even if they are still alive, I am afraid that they will not be able to return home.
When he thought of this, he opened his mouth and spoke straightforwardly.
Jin Guoping was stunned.
He looked at the college student on the top bunk, and the college student scratched his head blankly.
"That kind of ...... I've looked for it too. I asked someone to inquire. I've never heard of traffickers back home. There are ...... nearby. We looked for it back then. It's better to spend some money and buy the boss back. There is no news. Jin Guoping shook his head.
"Is it the kind of person who runs around and commits crimes?" The college student thought of another possibility. He still felt that Jin Guoping's daughter had been abducted.
Jin Guoping had no way to answer this question.
There was silence in the room.
College students are a little overwhelmed.
The young man coughed dryly, "Uncle, have you asked from the police station here?" ”
"Hmm. Been there. I've also been to the Third Hospital here. Jin Guoping nodded.
"Did that piece of paper end up in the Third Hospital?" The youth brought the conversation back to the source.
Jin Guoping suddenly realized, "Yes." It may have fallen into the hospital. ”
"It could also be on the road." The youth added.
"I'll look for it." Jin Guoping stood up, put on his coat, and walked out.
After he left, the young man looked at the innocent-looking college student.
"If you get abducted, marry some rotten person, and have children...... That's a problem. The young man said.
The college student opened his mouth and frowned, "This...... The most important thing is that people live and find her, right? ”
Young people are noncommittal.
He caught a glimpse of Jin Guoping's open suitcase. A stack of missing person notices is placed on the top layer of the suitcase, so that people can clearly see the information on it.
The girl in the photo looks well-behaved and cute, and her smile is a little shy. She was wearing a padded jacket that was now outdated, and her face was red from the cold. There is also a photo taken in the summer where a circle is drawn on the girl's exposed calf. In addition to the photographs, a lot of text was printed on the paper. The typography is not pretty, and the text content is not clear enough, but such a missing person notice already contains sufficient information.
The young man read the words on it carefully, and also wrote down the name of Jin Guoping's daughter, Jin Wenjing.
He was silently reciting the name in his heart, and his eyes were dazzled, as if he had seen the photo on the missing person notice distorted.
The little girl's shy smile became hideous, and in an instant, it returned to normal.
The young man blinked subconsciously and stepped forward to take a closer look.
"What are you looking at?" The college student asked, leaning on the bed.
The young man stopped talking.
The college student rolled out of bed and looked at the missing person notice, "Have you seen his daughter?" He turned his head in surprise and looked at the young man with a look of admiration and anticipation, and his gaze wandered over the young man and the missing person poster.
"Nope." The young man thought for a moment before replying.
He didn't recall whether he had seen this Jin Wenjing. You don't have to think about it at all. He certainly hadn't seen such a person. He was thinking about the scene just now. The distortion of the photo seemed to be his illusion, but he felt that he really saw the change in that moment.
