The welfare home is the key area of this work, and it is also the place where Gu Chen's Furong branch is located, and he often comes to visit.

Every once in a while, the Seremban substation will send a lot of daily necessities to the elderly and disabled here, so that they can feel the care from the police station.

Therefore, the arrival of colleagues in Hong Kong City can do these things well at one time.

Returning to the assault car, everyone took vegetables and fruits, as well as a lot of daily necessities, and drove directly to the Xiahe Welfare Institute.

This area is on the edge of the city, and as the road is in the process of being restored, the surrounding buildings are also being renovated.

As a result, many indigenous people choose to relocate temporarily.

The Xiahe Welfare Institute is located in the center of these areas.

Since the new welfare home has not yet been built, many elderly people have to live here temporarily.

Everyone sits in the yard every day, and when they look up, they can see the ruins outside and all kinds of construction vehicles passing by.

Of course, the community is also rushing to work on the new site so that the elderly can move out of this terrible area as soon as possible.

The assault car stopped steadily at the gate of the welfare home, and a staff member immediately walked out of the gate and smiled at Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"Sister Zhao, are you okay?" After Gu Chen got out of the car, he also shook hands with Sister Zhao, the staff here, and exchanged a few words.

Sister Zhao smiled lightly and said, "Look at the surrounding environment, how good can it be?"

"This place, knock knock during the day, bang at night, the old people are so noisy that they can't sleep, I negotiate with these people on the construction site every day, but it's useless, they say to catch up with the schedule, after all, the infrastructure madness is time. ”

"That's a lot of trouble. Gu Chen also knew that the position of the Xiahe Welfare Institute was quite awkward.

The main reason is that there was no good coordination between various departments before, and the construction of the new site of the welfare institute started late, which delayed the time.

This led to the start of housing reform and road repair, and the welfare home, which should have been demolished, was temporarily preserved.

Glancing at Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei behind Gu Chen, Sister Zhao was stunned and asked Gu Chen weakly: "By the way, Gu Chen, who are these two?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Gu Chen was patronizing to communicate with Sister Zhao just now, and forgot to introduce the two colleagues from Hong Kong City.

So he hurriedly said: "This is Liu Jiaju, a senior police officer of the EU stormtrooper in Hong Kong City." ”

"Hello, please advise. Liu Jiaju politely shook hands with Sister Zhao.

"Hello, hello, it turned out to be a police officer from Port City, what a rare guest. ”

Seeing this, Gu Chen introduced Chen Huimei again: "This is also Chen Huimei, a senior police officer of the EU Emergency Unit in Hong Kong City. ”

"Hello Sister Zhao. Chen Huimei said in non-standard Mandarin.

Sister Zhao was stunned, but she was talking nonsense with a clear conscience, and couldn't help but joke: "Oh, this female police officer speaks Mandarin really well." ”

"Poof, haha. Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore, and directly interrupted: "Sister Zhao, don't boast like this, if you talk like this, people will be shy." ”

"I don't speak Mandarin very well, but I'm still trying to learn. Chen Huimei knew how many pounds and taels she had, and she also smiled awkwardly.

Sister Zhao waved her hand: "What you said is already very good, at least I can understand it." ”

"Sister Zhao, don't let everyone stand at the door. During the conversation, Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun also walked over.

The two are also old acquaintances with the Xiahe Welfare Institute.

Gu Chen came here to offer condolences at the beginning, and Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun have also been here, so they are also very familiar with Sister Zhao.

Acquaintances naturally don't need to be too polite when they speak.

Sister Zhao said: "I was chatting with you just now, but I didn't know to invite you in, hurry up, go in and sit, I'll pour you a few cups of tea first." ”

"No need, let's move things first, this time I brought a lot of vegetables and daily necessities to your welfare home, unload the car first. Officer Wang said.

Sister Zhao thought for a while: "It's okay." ”

Everyone got busy in an instant, unloading the items on the car one by one.

In particular, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also took the initiative to join the Dao moving family.

Photographer Wu Jun captured it all.

After completing a series of operations, many old people who were originally playing chess, watching TV and chatting in the house also went out one after another to greet Gu Chen and the others.

Gu Chen is in the Xiahe Welfare Institute, which is super popular, and is a descendant liked by many old people.

Therefore, when they saw Gu Chen coming, the old people who were still depressed before would suddenly take the initiative to gather around and chat with Gu Chen as if they had seen relatives who came to visit them.

Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were responsible for putting the dishes into the kitchen and preparing to cook a delicious meal for the old man here with Sister Zhao in the evening.

And Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei took Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei to start a family routine with the old people, and introduced these two Hong Kong colleagues to everyone by the way.

Everything gets along very well.

Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun are also enjoying shooting materials and interviews.

But after Gu Chen glanced around, he found that his old friend Uncle He was not there, which made Gu Chen a little puzzled.

So Gu Chen asked Uncle Zhang directly in front of him: "Uncle Zhang, where is Uncle He?" I remember that every time I came to the Xiahe Welfare Institute, Uncle He's voice was the loudest, but why didn't I see anyone today?"

"Sorry, my son is missing. Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said with his dentures exposed.

"My son is missing?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, a little unclear.

Although Uncle He was sent to the welfare home, he is usually a warm-hearted person and often helps Sister Zhao manage the daily work of the welfare home.

Therefore, everyone else ridiculed Uncle He, people came to the welfare home to enjoy the service of others, but he Uncle He came to the welfare home purely to serve people.

It is precisely because of the existence of Uncle He in the Xiahe Welfare Institute that it will become very lively.

But Uncle He is not here, so it's no wonder that the Xiahe Welfare Institute has lost its former vitality.

Hearing Uncle Zhang's words, Liu Jiaju was also curious and said, "How did Uncle He's son disappear?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "I don't know, his son works in the development zone, and he goes home every three days, and he wants to come here to see him and Old Man He." ”

But the strange thing is that just some time ago, his son disappeared silently, and he did not come to see him in the welfare home again. ”

"And Old Man He called his son, but it turned off the phone and couldn't get through, don't you think it's strange?"

"And this kind of thing?" Lu Weiwei also felt a little strange.

She knows something about Uncle He and his son.

Uncle He has two sons, the eldest son is married and lives in other places, and the younger son works in the local development zone.

And his lover died of illness two years ago, and he has begun to suffer from problems in the last six months because of his legs.

In order not to hinder his youngest son's work, he took the initiative to live in a welfare home.

And the youngest son is also conscientious, driving home every three days to visit his father in the welfare home.

This matter has always been Uncle He's proud capital, and he often uses it to show off to his old friends in the welfare home.

But his son disappeared suddenly, which inevitably made Uncle He a little anxious.

After understanding the general situation, Gu Chen asked again: "So Uncle He went out to find his son?"

"Yes, after walking for a few days, everyone blames him, and they all say that the Xiahe Welfare House has no soul without him. ”

When Uncle Zhang mentioned Uncle He, he also felt a little regretful.

Chen Huimei was a little puzzled, so she also asked Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, you said that Uncle He's youngest son is missing and the phone can't get through, will his mobile phone be stolen, and then the company will work overtime?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, in the past, his youngest son would also encounter overtime in the company, but he would say hello to Old Man He on the phone in advance." ”

After all, when his son will come to Xiahe Welfare Institute, there is a tacit understanding between the two, and if he doesn't come, his son will say it in advance. ”

But this time the strangeness was that there was no phone call, and there was no talk message. ”

"A few days ago, I was in too much of a hurry, so I dragged a driver who went to his youngest son's company to carry goods and asked about his son's situation. ”

But as a result, the news brought by the driver made Old Man He stunned. ”

"What's the situation?" Hearing Uncle Zhang's words, Liu Jiaju was a little uneasy.

Uncle Zhang said: "The driver called the welfare institute and said that Old Man He's son had cut off contact since he left the company. ”

"Not only is Old Man He looking for him, but even the people in his company are looking for him, and that day happened to be the day when his son came to the welfare home to see him, do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Something can't be wrong, right?" Bai Xiaolan heard this, feeling that the new interview material had been settled again.

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "We can't say for sure, but everyone has been talking privately for the past few days." ”

"After all, he is the son of an old man, he just disappeared out of thin air, and the phone couldn't get through, isn't there an accident?"

"But even if something happens, at least where is the person? But the key is that the person can't be found, and Old Man He is in a hurry. ”

"You know, in the Xiahe Welfare Institute, his youngest son is his only sustenance, and we all say that things are weird, maybe his youngest son is no longer alive. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang said this.

Liu Jiaju, Chen Huimei, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan were stunned at the same time.

Feel like there's something so mysterious?

Gu Chen said, "Then why don't you call the police?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "It seems that the police have already been called, and there are people from the police station, but it seems that there are no clues to be found, let Old Man He wait and see, if no one is found in a few days, then they will come and have a look." ”

"But Old Man He, as you know, is an anxious man, so he took his baggage alone that day and went out directly to look for his son, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

"How many days have you been there?" Gu Chen asked.

Uncle Zhang wrenched his fingers and calculated, "Okay...... I think it's been 3 days. ”

"Then do you know where Uncle He's house is?" Gu Chen asked again.

Uncle Zhang shook his head, pointed to Sister Zhao who was helping in the kitchen, and said, "Xiao Zhao knows, she has an address." ”

"Thank you. Gu Chen hurriedly got up and walked to the kitchen to find Sister Zhao.

At this moment, Sister Zhao is sorting these purchased vegetables and fruits with Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

Seeing Gu Chen coming, Sister Zhao also smiled and said, "Gu Chen, you have bought so many things this time, what a waste, this thing is easy to spoil after a long time, and you can't eat it all." ”

"It's okay, keep it and eat slowly. Gu Chen casually echoed, and said, "By the way, Sister Zhao, there is something I want to ask you." ”

"You say. Sister Zhao was busy in her hands, turned her head and asked.

Gu Chen got straight to the point, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle He's youngest son is missing, do you know about this?"

As soon as the words fell, Sister Zhao's hands suddenly paused, and she was also stunned, and then she said, "That's right...... yes, I know, just the other day. ”

"What about Uncle He, where is he now?" Lu Weiwei also asked.

Sister Zhao sighed, and said helplessly: "Originally, his son disappeared suddenly, and we were quite worried about him, so let him wait for news in the welfare home, but he couldn't wait, so he had to go out to find it." ”

"I said if you are a detective, don't be reckless, but Uncle He doesn't stop, a stubborn person, nine cows can't pull it back, so it should be going home, right?"

"Do you know his address? I want to look for him, and if it's home alone, I'll take him back to live. ”

"Okay, too. Hearing Gu Chen say this, Sister Zhao hurriedly flushed her hand on the faucet, wiped it on her apron twice at will, and then walked to the office.

Everyone was not idle, and they followed behind.

Subsequently, Sister Zhao took out a thick record book in the drawer of her desk, found the address of Uncle He's house, and showed it to Gu Chen: "This is his address, you can record it." ”

Gu Chen didn't say a word, he directly took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the message, and then said, "Then I'll go find Uncle He." ”

"I'll go too. Lu Weiwei said.

Seeing this, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also followed closely behind.

Sister Zhao reminded: "Then no matter if you find him or not, remember to come here for dinner." ”

"Got it. Gu Chen waved his hand and sat directly on the assault car.

Lu Weiwei, Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei also followed closely to get into the car.

Everyone started the vehicle and drove directly to Uncle He's house.

Uncle He, Gu Chen, knew that he was stubborn, and if he didn't find his missing son, it was estimated that he would not come back.

But Uncle He's legs and feet are not good, if he is left alone at home for several days without anyone to take care of him, Gu Chen is afraid that something will happen to him.

But it's strange to say, how could the youngest son, who originally came to Xiahe Welfare Home every three days to see Uncle He, suddenly disappear silently?

Gu Chen had a sense of foreboding.

......

......

The vehicle drove on the suburban road for 20 minutes, and it was about to drive to Uncle He's house.

Uncle He's family lived in a three-story building near the highway, but just as the vehicle drove to the gate, Gu Chen found that the gate was closed, and it seemed that no one was at home.

Judging from the address information and house number taken by the mobile phone, there is nothing wrong with it.

Gu Chen simply pulled up the handbrake, got out of the car and walked forward with everyone to knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Gu Chen knocked three times in a row and shouted, "Is Uncle He at home?"

There was no response from the house......

Then Gu Chen knocked three times in a row, and reported to his door: "Uncle He, I'm Gu Chen." ”

This time, Gu Chen used his master-level observation power to clearly hear a movement in the room to get up from the seat.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Is it Uncle He?" I'm Gu Chen, if you are at home, please open the door, okay?"

This time, there was a faint sound of footsteps evidently in the room.

It seems to be wearing slippers, dragging a movement on the ground.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and Gu Chen simply took a step back.

At this moment, only the door lock "clicked", and a haggard old man poked his head out to take a look.

Only then did Gu Chen realize that this person was the Uncle He he was looking for.

But Uncle He, who is so thin now, is completely different from the positive and eloquent Uncle He he he knew at the beginning.

Uncle He, who I met at the beginning, is healthy and full of vitality.

can look at the current Uncle He, thin, depressed, and even his beard has not been shaved for several days.

The whole person looks like a depressed person, and his eyes are godless and terrifying.

"Gu Chen?" Uncle He finally spoke, and couldn't help wiping his bloodshot eyes.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and asked Uncle He, "Uncle He, what's wrong with you, why are you at home alone?"

Uncle He blinked his somewhat dry eyes, and also pretended to be calm: "The youngest son hasn't been home for a few days, I don't worry, I don't know where he went?" ”

"Then you've been home alone these days?" Hearing Uncle He's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but get nervous.

Uncle He nodded slightly, and said with some difficulty: "That's right, I've been home alone these days." ”

Gu Chen looked Uncle He, who was a little emaciated, up and down, and asked him with concern: "Then what have you eaten in the past few days?

Seeing that Uncle He was a little struggling to stand, Gu Chen hurriedly helped him and went to sit in the house.

Then I went to the kitchen and checked the stove and found that it had not been used at all.

When I returned to the living room, I only found some bread packaging in the garbage basket.

Gu Chen immediately hurriedly asked him: "Uncle He, don't tell me, you just eat bread to spend the next few days?"

Uncle He didn't deny it, and nodded directly: "My son is gone, I can't eat, I can't wait for him to come home, I can't sleep well." ”

"Aren't you messing around?" I feel that Uncle He is purely masochistic.

Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, this old man's age is there, and his legs and feet are not good, and no one has made food for him.

Just staying at home alone, stupidly waiting for my son who doesn't know when he will be able to come home.

If Gu Chen hadn't brought everyone to knock on the door, it is estimated that this Uncle He would have starved to death at home, and no one would necessarily know.

It's scary to think about.

Gu Chen didn't care too much, so he hurriedly returned to the car, took the police kettle he was carrying, and gave Uncle He some water to drink first.

Later, he gave Uncle He a brief physical examination, and found that it was only malnutrition, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Uncle He, you should go back to the welfare home with us, you will starve to death at home." ”

Uncle He shook his head blankly: "My son hasn't come home, I'm going to wait for him here." ”

"Then if your son doesn't come back, won't you have to sit here all the time?"

As soon as Lu Weiwei's words fell, Gu Chen hurriedly made a silent sign language, signaling not to stimulate Uncle He.

Gu Chen could see that Uncle He had obviously had some problems with his spirit, and he relied on bread to satisfy his hunger for a few days, so it could be seen that there was also a problem with his physical condition.

If you don't have a good rest, eat some nutritious food to supplement, and it is estimated that you will have to be sent to the hospital.

Thinking that Uncle He was a little reluctant to leave, Gu Chen said again: "Uncle He, do you think this will be done? You go back to the welfare home with us first, eat and drink well, and settle down." ”

"We'll help you deal with your son's disappearance, can you do it?"

As soon as he heard that Gu Chen was going to help him find his son, Uncle He, who was still staring blankly just now, suddenly stared: "What you say counts?"

......
