Cry? Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's avoidance, maybe it's to cover up your true emotions.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes flashed, and he pointed to a little girl in a flower skirt standing by the flower bed in the unit building and asked, "That's Meimei?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Qiaoxiu to answer, the little girl flew like a butterfly, plunged into Zhou Qiaoxiu's arms, choked and said, "Mom, where have you been?" I'm so scared! ”

Chapter 2: Mind Reading

◎ Zhao Xiangwan, please help me! ◎

Zhou Qiaoxiu's body was a little stiff, her hands were at her sides, and she stood in a daze, not hugging Meimei back as usual.

Feeling her mother's strangeness, Mei Mei panicked, hugged Zhou Qiaoxiu and raised her little face, with crystal tears hanging on her round face: "Mom, where have you been?" I was so scared that when I closed my eyes, I saw my sister crying and looking for me. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu looked down at Mei Mei, the child she brought up, even if she was not her own, she still gave her love and care from the bottom of her heart. Although the baby was a little negligent to Meimei after birth, Zhou Qiaoxiu felt that she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

Now that the baby is gone, as long as she sees Meimei, Zhou Qiaoxiu will feel a sense of indignation.

[The child with my blood and bones is lost, and Mei Mei, who is not related to me, is still there, we are haggard in order to find the baby, but she is still crying and wants to ask for my sympathy and attention! 】

Mei Mei's big eyes were soaked with tears, shining brightly under the reflection of the street lamp, and her wet innocent eyes made people involuntarily feel pity. But when her heart voice sounded in Zhao Xiangwan's mind, it was chilling.

[Rob my parents with me? Don't! It is because of you that my mother refuses to hug me and kiss me, she hugs you every day when she opens her eyes, and kisses you from head to toe when she sleeps at night. You're just a nasty little piece of waste, as long as I throw you away, my parents will be my own. 】

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Mei Mei seriously, trying to recall the professional books she was reading in the library.

- Human activities are composed of many subtle, habitual movements, and facial expressions can reflect emotions such as anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. Zhao Xiangwan has the aid of mind reading, first having the correct conclusion and then reversing the micro-expression reaction, which is really the most hidden and effective means of cheating.

Zhou Qiaoxiu suppressed her inner emotions and asked softly: "I can't sleep, go out to find the baby." ”

Mei Mei was keen-minded, seeing Zhou Qiaoxiu's cold attitude, she flattened her mouth and continued to be coquettish: "Mom, I can't sleep either, let's go find my sister together." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu ignored her coquettishness and turned her head to look at Zhao Xiangwan.

Zhao Xiangwan walked over, squatted down and looked at Mei Mei at eye level: "Mei Mei, where did you lose your sister?" Let's go find it together. ”

Mei Mei stepped back, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes: "Who are you?" I don't know you. ”

The light of the street lamp was projected on Zhao Xiangwan's body, and the amber eyes shone brightly, deep and quiet, and all impetuousness and hypocrisy were not hidden.

Mei Mei hid behind Zhou Qiaoxiu with a weak heart, and asked timidly: "Mom, who is this sister?" Is she here to help us find our sister? ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu held Meimei's shoulder with her right hand and didn't let her continue to retreat: "My sister is my mother's student, what she asks you, you can answer well." ”

Zhao Xiangwan still maintained a squatting posture and began to ask: "Meimei really wants to help her mother find her sister, right?" ”

Mei Mei puffed up her chest and tried to show her loyalty: "Definitely." ”

Zhao Xiangwan: "When did you find out that your sister was missing?" ”

Mei Mei hesitated, tears fell down like pearls with broken threads: "I don't know, I really forgot, I only remember looking at the spinning plane, and I didn't notice that my sister let go of my hand." ”

[My sister is domineering and crying, and she is not as good as me at all, but my mother and father only love her, isn't it because she is biological? If it weren't for this little thing, they would love me and care about me as much as they used to. There were so many people in Benlong Park, so I took my sister to the back door and shook off my hand, and I was really happy to see her crying and crying for her mother.

Go out through the back door of the park and walk through a neighborhood where there is an alley. There is a couple selling fried melon seeds in the alley, and after giving birth to three sons, they want a daughter, and if they throw their sister to his door, they will definitely take it away. In this way, my sister has new parents and a new brother, and I can have my parents alone. 】

Zhao Xiangwan heard the words in her heart, squinted slightly, and sped up the speed of questioning.

"You've been watching the spinning plane, and you haven't even noticed that the baby has let go of his hand?"

"Yes, I didn't find out."

The eyes unconsciously look to the lower right, lie.

"There are a lot of snack stalls in the park, isn't it my sister clamoring to eat? Candy Man...... Candy floss...... Little Twist ...... Stir-fried melon seeds ......"

When it comes to fried melon seeds, Meimei's pupils unconsciously dilate and her breathing becomes short, which represents fear.

"I didn't pay attention to this, and I was in a hurry when my sister lost it."

"Did Mei Mei take her sister's hand and find a stall for fried melon seeds? Front door? Or is it a back door? ”

"No, I don't!"

"There's a community at the back door, is there a storefront for fried melon seeds?"

Hearing Zhao Xiangwan repeatedly mention the three words fried melon seeds, getting closer and closer to the truth, Mei Mei's expression became more and more tense, and finally suddenly burst into a violent cry: "I don't know, I don't know anything." I didn't want my sister to be gone, I panicked and called her name everywhere, but I couldn't find it. It's my fault that I lost my sister, so you guys arrest me! ”

The crying was so loud that the lights came on in the first unit.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform rushed down from the staircase, hugged Meimei, and looked at Zhou Qiaoxiu with condemnation in his eyes.

"Zhou Qiaoxiu, what are you doing? I said, leave everything to me, the entire city bureau I can mobilize the forces mobilized, we have been visiting the vicinity of the park, and we will definitely find the baby. The train station and bus station also sent people to keep an eye on him, and if it was a kidnapper, he would not be able to run out of the star market. It is the responsibility of us adults to lose the child, why do you keep asking Meimei? She's frightened today, and she needs us to reassure her, and if you ask again, do you want to make her nervous? ”

Mei Mei hugged her father's waist tightly, her face was full of tears, and she looked pitiful.

This is the family area of the school, Zhou Qiaoxiu opened her mouth, wanted to say something but endured it, not wanting to disturb the neighbors.

Mei Mei choked up and spoke: "Dad, I also want to find my sister, I'm so scared." ”

Xu Songling visited countless tourists in the park today, and a pair of legs were about to break, so he collected the team and went home after dark. A deep sense of helplessness enveloped him, he had been a police officer for so many years, but he didn't expect that his little daughter would be lost and the entire city bureau could not be found!

The eldest daughter's soft little hands hugged him, her body was trembling slightly, obviously frightened, Xu Songling's heart softened, and gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dad doesn't blame you." ”

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head secretly in his heart, who would have thought that an eleven-year-old girl would have such a vicious heart? The little girl hides her jealousy for her sister and does not hesitate to harm the benefactor who raised her, who is the viper in the fable of the farmer and the snake.

Zhou Qiaoxiu watched her husband comfort Meimei, and a sense of grievance came up, she didn't want to suppress her emotions anymore, and raised her hand to Meimei.

"You look at her, you look at her, she only knows how to cry when the baby is lost, and she keeps saying that she is afraid. Can she have a baby to be afraid of no matter how scared she is? The baby is only three years old, and even going to kindergarten will cry, leaving the baby alone to face everything, my heart hurts like a crack, and you still want me to comfort her. Will asking her a few words make her nervous? Xu Songling, do you know who is your biological child! ”

At about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the street lights were dim, and the movement made by Zhou Qiaoxiu's family was too big, and someone in the dormitory building went out in clothes, so he hurriedly came over to persuade him to see that the situation was wrong.

"Teacher Zhou, don't get excited, you must be anxious and understandable if the baby is lost. But I don't think Meimei wants to do this either, don't blame her. ”

"Yes, Mei Mei is a good sister, and she is also a good child at school, this time it was an accident, who knew that there were so many people in the park, and the baby ran away by himself."

"Now the priority is to find the baby, and don't let the crutches take her away. Teacher Zhou, calm down first, and let's figure out a way together. ”

Everyone one-sidedly told Zhou Qiaoxiu to relax and not be anxious, obviously thinking that Zhou Qiaoxiu's rebuke of Mei Mei just now was anger.

Zhou Qiaoxiu was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and her breath became more and more depressed. The exhaustion and tension of the day made her irritable and sensitive, and the maintenance of her adopted daughter by her husband and neighbors made her face a breakdown.

"Ahh

A scream erupted from Zhou Qiaoxiu's throat, and she rushed to Mei Mei like crazy, shaking her shoulders vigorously: "You say, you say!" Where did you leave your baby? You must have lost her, you just weren't greedy enough, you can't see that I love the baby, right? Isn't it?! ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu's hair was messy, and she didn't care if the shoelace and trip buckles were loose, she usually paid the most attention to her image, but at the moment she was emotional, and the surrounding neighbors stepped forward to dissuade her.

Xu Songling was tall, quickly buckled her shoulders, didn't let her continue to shake Meimei, and said sharply: "Zhou Qiaoxiu! What are you doing! ”

Mei Mei was shaken like a rattle, her two pigtails were shaken, tears fell down, and she kept saying in her mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom, it's my fault, it's me who deserves to die, I shouldn't let go of my sister's hand, I'm sorry for my sister." ”

After a series of words, her voice became weaker and weaker, and in the exclamations of everyone, she leaned back and fainted in Xu Songling's arms.

"Alas, the child fainted, hurry up and get to the hospital."

"Poor Meimei, either she is born or she is not distressed."

"I didn't expect Teacher Zhou to be so ruthless, he accidentally lost the child when he took the child out, but he wanted to put the responsibility on his adopted daughter, it's too unusual!"

Xu Songling glared at Zhou Qiaoxiu with complicated eyes, ran out quickly with Meimei in his arms, started the police three-wheeled motorcycle parked in the family building, and left directly.

Zhou Qiaoxiu's knees were weak and she almost fell.

The neighbor next to her saw that she was pitiful, hugged her, and comforted: "Teacher Zhou, the child is connected, we all know that you are anxious when the baby is missing today." You are also a cultural person, you should know that things are prioritized, and blaming Mei Mei will not help, it will only make things worse. Don't worry about who lost the baby, we have to work together to find the baby. You are arguing with Officer Xu at this time, isn't it delaying the business by dragging him back? ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu held her breath in her heart, and it was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, and turned her head to look at Zhao Xiangwan, who had been standing next to her and didn't speak.

Zhao Xiangwan walked up to Zhou Qiaoxiu, bent down to help her fasten the buckles of her cloth shoes, and her voice was soft and firm: "Teacher Zhou, I believe in you." ”

I trust your judgment, Mei Mei is lying.

When Zhou Qiaoxiu heard Zhao Xiangwan's words, the whole person seemed to be injected with vitality, and there was a light in his eyes, and his figure straightened up: "Zhao Xiangwan, please help me!" ”

Chapter 3: Searching for Others

◎ Where is the child?! ◎

Zhou Qiaoxiu looked at Zhao Xiangwan, who bowed his head to help him tie his shoes, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

The colleagues in the family building all advised her not to force Meimei to ask in order to shirk her responsibility, and even her lover said that she was unfair to Meimei, only Zhao Xiangwan firmly believed in her.

Zhao Xiangwan stood up, her slender and tall figure was like a bamboo branch in the evening breeze, soft and tough. She met Zhou Qiaoxiu's gaze and nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu, who had just been angered by her husband's attitude, gradually regained her senses, the girl in front of her had a small apple face, a full forehead, narrow eyes, deep eye sockets, and light eyes.

Zhou Qiaoxiu muttered, "Mei Mei is lying, isn't she?" She did it on purpose, right? She knows where the baby is, doesn't she? ”

After a series of questions, the neighbor who hadn't left next to him was a little ashamed: "Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about?" Meimei is still a child, how could she deliberately lose her sister? ”

Zhao Xiangwan didn't explain anything, and whispered softly: "Teacher Zhou, do you have a bicycle?" Let's go out and find the baby now. ”

Some neighbors wanted to dissuade them, but seeing Zhou Qiaoxiu's resolute attitude, they could only give up, but they all shook their heads and didn't understand very much, and by the way, they also had some opinions about Zhao Xiangwan, who supported Zhou Qiaoxiu. Until Zhou Qiaoxiu pushed out the bicycle from the corridor, Zhao Xiangwan sat in the back seat and left together, and the people behind them were still talking.

"If my biological daughter is lost, it's no wonder that the adoption is not pleasing to the eye."

"Don't look at the usual teacher Zhou always says that a bowl of water is flat, but at the critical moment, it is immediately apparent."

"This schoolgirl is making a lot of fun! It's too ignorant to ask Mr. Zhou to go out to find someone so late. ”

"I seem to have taught her, she is a freshman majoring in criminal investigation, she should be in Teacher Zhou's class, right? It's just that she doesn't usually talk much, and I don't remember her name. ”

Late at night in October, riding out of the gate of the Public Security University, Zhou Qiaoxiu looked at the road in front of him a little blankly: "Where are you going?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan held on to the bicycle seat and said a target direction: "The back gate of Benlong Park." ”

The baby was lost this morning, and the couple at the roast shop shouldn't have taken the child away from Star City so quickly, after all, they still have to do business.

Recalling the conversation between Zhao Xiangwan and Mei Mei just now, Zhou Qiaoxiu seemed to see a dawn, and she was full of energy, pedaling hard and speeding up the bicycle.

"Zhao Xiangwan, you just asked Mei Mei a few questions just now, how can you tell that she is lying?"

"Eye avoidance, mechanical repetition, crying to cover the truth...... Mei Mei is definitely not a naïve child. ”

"What's going on with the back entrance of the park and the roasted food shop?"

"I deliberately gave multiple choices, and when I encountered an option related to real behavior, Meimei's eyes would subconsciously look to the right, and through this method, I could continue to get closer to the truth."

Zhou Qiaoxiu heard Zhao Xiangwan's calm answer, and didn't know why she was a little distressed: "Zhao Xiangwan, you are only eighteen years old, why are you so thoughtful and delicate?" "A pampered child will be innocent and simple, Zhao Xiangwan is so precocious, she must have experienced a lot of hardships in her childhood.
