....

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, the sky was gray, and a restless rain swept away the deserted street.

Chen Zhao leaned against the old-fashioned street lamp, he had already thrown the umbrella in his hand aside when he was already soaked, and the street lamp emitted a dim yellow glow, barely illuminating his panicked and restless face clearly.

It had been more than an hour since Chen Zhao came out to look for Xia Qing, and after searching back and forth several times, he never found Xia Qing's figure.

Because the weather was so bad, and the rain world, which was cut off along with the shouts, was constantly catalyzing his emotions, Chen Zhao began to be afraid.

"She's not going to have an accident, right?" was the thought that was about to crush Chen Zhao's emotions.

This premonition is getting stronger and stronger, with what he knows about Xia Qing so far, it is impossible for her to turn off her mobile phone, not come home so late, and even ignore her daughter who has not eaten...

He's really afraid...

And now the 26-year-old Chen Zhao is actually just an 18-year-old child... His vulnerability is exposed at this moment. In this strange world, Xia Qing is his only spiritual sustenance.

....

In the end, the cold rain woke Chen Zhao up, and he remembered that his daughter had not eaten, and it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and Chen Zhao hurriedly ran home.

"Where's Dad, Mommy?" Xiao Le saw Chen Zhao coming back wet and asked in a low voice.

"Mom... Mom? Chen Zhao smiled reluctantly, he knew that although his daughter was young, she was unexpectedly sensible and mature, he didn't want his daughter to think too much, he was deceiving, "Mom will come back later, is Xiaole hungry?" ”

"Well, I'm hungry!"

"Then Daddy will get you food." Chen Zhao threw the wet clothes into the bathroom, shivered, changed his clothes, and made dinner for his daughter.

He doesn't know how to cook, but he can barely cook fried rice. After taking an egg from the refrigerator and stir-frying it with the hot rice in the pot, and then frying a loose egg as a side dish for his well-behaved daughter, he sat aside and was stunned.

Chen Zhao had no appetite, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth, grabbed his umbrella, and continued to brave the rain to go to the nearby police station.

Now Chen Zhao only has this idea, there is something, and there is the police.

When I arrived at the police station and explained the problem, the police officer asked, "How long has your wife been missing?" ”

"More than two hours." Chen Zhaodao.

"It's... I'm sorry, but I can't file a case until I have been missing for 24 hours. After listening to Chen Zhao's words, the male policeman was apologetic, "You might as well wait and see?" Maybe I'll be back later. ”

Chen Zhao was a little desperate.

How can this policeman do this? 24 hours to call the police? So what if something happens to someone?

"Comrade policeman, please help. Now you see the weather outside, I've been looking for more than 2 hours not long ago, and I really can't find anyone to call the police... Please. ”

“...”

The male policeman was in a dilemma.

It's not that he doesn't know how bad the weather is now, if it weren't for this weather, he wouldn't have talked so much to Chen Zhao. After all, he is indeed a little worried, under this kind of heavy rain, it is easy to have some accidents.

However, it is a very complicated matter to file a case, and once it is filed, it cannot be withdrawn, and a large number of police forces must be deployed. In case it may be because of heavy rain, it is possible to run to a place to hide from the rain, and the mobile phone is out of battery and cannot contact the family.

After thinking about it, the police were silent for a while, "That's it, it's not okay to file a case." Tell me your phone or phone, as well as your wife's photo and your whereabouts when you went missing. Someone will take over from me soon, and I'll help you find it after work. ”

"Ah, really? Thank you, comrade police. Thank you! Chen Zhao was stunned, turned to ecstasy, and was grateful.

"No thanks, this is also my duty, and the salary is not taken for nothing."

"Why don't I go with you and look for it? There are many people who are easy to do. Chen Zhao asked.

"No, it's raining so hard, what if something happens to you? Don't worry, I'll call a few police friends for help, you can rest assured, find me and call you. The policeman smiled.

Unable to express his gratitude, Chen Zhao could only keep saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you really much." ”

...

The rainstorm finally stopped.

It was two o'clock in the morning.

The daughter was asleep, and Chen Zhao was standing at the cold door, grabbing his mobile phone and pacing back and forth.

"Haven't you called yet?"

"Did he really look for it? You won't lie to me, will you? ”

Chen Zhao bit his lip and began to be suspicious of the police.

The world is calm and beautiful after the rain, the heavy rain washes away the accumulated dust and filth, the air is fresh and fragrant, if you can calm down, maybe it will be a good night.

The clock clock on the wall ticked and ticked, and the minute hand seemed to be accelerated in Chen Zhao's eyes.

3 o'clock...

4 o'clock...

It's half past four in the morning...

"I'm so stupid. I believed the policeman. On this big night, who would be stupid to help find someone? ”

Chen Zhao was sure that he had been deceived.

But he didn't know what to do.

And what can be done now? At night, he went to look for it alone? But is it really okay to go alone? Can you find it alone?

He felt helpless, and he was alone in the whole world.

It's just that when he came up with the idea that no one could help him, he suddenly thought of Zhang Jun, was silent, looked at the time, gritted his teeth, and dialed Zhang Jun's phone.

It took a while for the phone to be connected, and Zhang Jun's lazy voice came: "Chen Zhao, why are you sick in the brain?" Lao Tzu still has to go to work at 8 o'clock? What's the on the big night? ”

"Zhang Jun... Something happened to my wife. Chen Zhao's helpless voice came out.

"What?"

With drowsiness and annoyance, Zhang Jun jumped up from the bed violently, "What did you say? What happened to Xia Qing? ”

Chen Zhao honestly told the story.

Zhang Jun knew Xia Qing, after all, he was the wife of a good buddy, and he had met him several times. And he has a very good impression of Xia Qing because he has not given up on Chen Zhao for so many years. It is impossible for such a good woman not to answer the phone and not go home.

"You wait, I'll go to your house right away." Zhang Jun said, immediately crawled out of the bed, and added, "Don't worry, wait for me to come." ”

Hanging up the phone, he felt the cold temperature, quickly got dressed, put on a coat and went out.

He was also in a hurry, if something happened to Xia Qing, what should Chen Zhao do? Isn't that bastard going to work? Decadent again?

Stepping on the wet muddy floor, he came to the parking garage, and just opened the car to turn it on, the phone rang again.

"What's wrong again?" Zhang Jun asked.

Chen Zhao on the other side of the phone cried, "Zhang Jun, Xia Qing was in a car accident." ”

With a buzz in his brain, Zhang Jun's breath stagnated, and he was dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You wait for me at home, I'll be there in 5 minutes." ”

....

Cold and dark.

Chen Zhao felt that he was very spineless, not like a man, and cried, shouldn't he be strong at this time?

After just calling Zhang Jun, Chen Zhao didn't expect that the male policeman from the police station came to call and told Chen Zhao the result.

The police didn't perfunctory Chen Zhao, but really pulled a few friends to search together for a night, but in the end they didn't expect that this was a case that the police station had just dealt with not long ago.

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, there was a car accident, the perpetrator slipped the tires of his car and hit someone, because the perpetrator immediately drove the person to the hospital and turned himself in, so it did not cause a commotion among passers-by.

The woman's mobile phone was shattered, and her family has not been found.

He just relied on his sixth sense to ask his colleague if there was a car accident, and he never thought that he had really found the right one...

At 4:40 a.m., Zhang Jun rushed to Chen Zhao's house.

"What happened to the car accident? It's not life-threatening, right? Zhang Jun asked Chen Zhao to close the door and pulled him downstairs.

"I don't know. The police only told me that I had been in a car accident and was taken to the fifth hospital. Chen Zhao was in a very uncomfortable mood and lowered his head.

Zhang Jun frowned, he didn't know what to comfort, he originally wanted to reprimand Chen Zhao for not being so low, but he felt that it was not good for him to say this at this time, so he thought about it and said, "Let's go to the hospital first." ”

The car shuttled in the dark night, because the speed was too fast, driving through one puddle after another, the tires and the car were covered with mud, Chen Zhao on the car looked ahead blankly, not knowing what the result was.
