1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"I'm Chen Tiezhu."

After putting the microphone to his ear, Chen Tiezhu said, his tone was a little nervous.

"Brother Tiezhu, this is Niu Er, we have some clues about the person we are looking for." Niu Er's voice came over.

"But the current situation is not very certain. The situation of one family is a little strange. Occasionally there are children crying, but no one is seen bringing the children out."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll rush over. Keep an eye on them, I'll take responsibility if anything happens." Chen Tiezhu said.

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

"Tiezhu, is there any news about the third girl?" Uncle Jianguo asked eagerly.

"Uncle Jianguo, don't make this public in advance." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Because it's still uncertain. If we tell them in advance, it will be a false alarm, which will make it harder for the Cao family to accept it. I'm going to the county now to check the situation there."

"Zhong, Zhong, Zhong, you go quickly, I'll be waiting by the phone. If you have any news, call me immediately." He Jianguo said hurriedly.

That's the case, after all, the current situation is still uncertain. The gap of shattered hopes is also very hard to bear.

He rushed back home, called Yingzi and Doudou, and rushed directly to the county.

"How high do you think the possibility is?" Han Xiuying asked while holding Doudou.

"It's hard to say now, whether it's a false alarm or not." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Niu Erguang said that he could occasionally hear the child crying inside, but he didn't see anyone outside. This possibility is very high, and I hope it's true."

"Ah..., that's right, I've been thinking about this for the past two days. I'm looking forward to receiving a call one day saying that the child has been found." Han Xiuying also sighed.

"When we get there, we'll know what's going on." Chen Tiezhu comforted.

He was also very anxious and wanted to rush over immediately. But even if you step on the accelerator, you can't give the car wings, right?

In fact, after the ecstasy of receiving the call just now, Chen Tiezhu's heart slowly calmed down.

Just like he said, there are too many possible situations.

But it's useless to think about it now, and we have to wait until we get to the scene.

Arriving at the billiard hall, Chen Tiezhu and the others walked in directly.

"Brother Tiezhu, you're here so fast." Niu Er hurried out to greet him.

"What's the situation?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"There is a little brother of mine who lives on the north side of the railway in our county. There is a family in their village who rented a house to a middle-aged couple with a five or six-year-old boy." Niu Er said.

"I didn't pay much attention to it at ordinary times. I remembered it when this happened. There used to be children crying in their house occasionally."

"People didn't pay attention to it before. It's the same for everyone's children. This time, we noticed that this family has rented this yard for more than two years, and the child's crying doesn't sound like a child."

Hearing his words, Chen Tiezhu's heart jumped suddenly, "Are there any other suspicious situations? What do they do for a living?"

"Collecting junk, there is a donkey riding backwards, and the man goes out early and comes back late every day." Niu Er said.

"They live close to him, because there are too many rags and so on, people don't want to get close to his house. But they say that the couple are quite kind, but we are not sure."

Chen Tiezhu pinched his brows, it was really hard to judge, it was a bit of a figment of the imagination.

"What about their child? Has it always been that child?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"We also thought about this, and later we found out that it has always been that child. It is this child, he is not very smart, he is a stupid son." Niu Er said.

"It is precisely for this reason that the couple left the village and went out to collect rags and pick up rags. But what concerns us is the child's crying."

"That's right, everyone thinks that the crying sound is not like that child now. But it's not certain, anyway, that's the case."

"Tiezhu, do you want to talk to Brother Jiang and the others?" Han Xiuying asked.

"We need to talk about it, and then we'll go together." Chen Tiezhu nodded. He couldn't make a judgment now.

He called the county bureau, but didn't explain the situation in detail. He just called Jiang Chaoyang over alone.

After listening to their description, Jiang Chaoyang was also scratching his head.

"No matter what, I'll arrange for the brothers to change into plain clothes and make arrangements for the intersection over there." After thinking for a while, Jiang Chaoyang spoke.

"Brother Jiang, my personal feeling is,We should be more cautious. "Chen Tiezhu said.

"We can't be sure whether the family is a human trafficker, and the man in the family is a rag collector. We have to think of a way to sneak in without attracting their attention."

"What do you have in mind?" Jiang Chaoyang asked.

"Let Niu Er and I go first, and you stay outside. Just say that we are visiting his little brother, and then we can deal with it according to the actual situation." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Besides, it should be better for me to come forward personally than for you to come forward. If I get into trouble, the worst that can happen is that I will have to pay some money. If you guys fail, it will not end well."

"Hey..., that's fine. "Jiang Chaoyang nodded.

This is the most reliable way to deal with it at present. After all, the case is a little unusual.

Unlike other cases, we can slowly collect information and conduct a detailed investigation on the two suspects.

If they are really human traffickers, then the child is very likely to be in their home. What if they continue to give the drug? Will the child's life be in danger?

"Tiezhu, if this is really accurate, you are doing a good deed."

Jiang Chaoyang said as he rushed to the destination.

"Hey..., you don't know, even now, the atmosphere in our village is very depressing." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

"I have told Uncle Jianguo that no one can set off firecrackers today if the child can't be found. Otherwise, we will have a lively time here, but what will happen to their family?"

"Brother Jiang, can't you do more preventive work in this regard? Anyway, I think it would be too passive to just rely on rescue. "

"How to prevent it? You can't leave the childcare to others, right?" Jiang Chaoyang said with a wry smile.

Chen Tiezhu was stunned and nodded. It was the same thing.

Just like when driving, you can't leave your safety to others. When you drive, you must also pay attention to safety.

After passing the railway switch, there was only a railway. Even in this day and age, you can feel the desertedness of the north of the railway.

After driving for more than two kilometers, they stopped at the door of Niu Er's little brother's house.

"See that side, the yard over there is the target." Niu Er reminded.

"It's not easy to deal with. The yard is very open and there are dogs. You can't get close." Chen Tiezhu frowned.
