"Director Ma, I'm really embarrassed. It's the New Year, so please work here. This year is not going to be good." I said politely.

"It's okay." Director Ma smiled, "Actually, I really don't need to ask about such a case. It's just that Team Liu is my old leader. He told me that of course I have to do it myself."

No wonder he, the director, was staring here. It turned out that Liu Ziwen's father was his old leader. No wonder he was so dedicated.

"Master Ma, what is the progress we are doing now in our search for a job?" I asked.

Director Ma touched his forehead, sighed, and said, "It's not very smooth."

"Are you supposed to be surveillance everywhere in the streets and alleys now? Can't you find a child?" I wondered.

"The problem is here. If it were in the main urban area, it would have been found in minutes. The problem is that Lin family community is too old. There are very few surveillance areas in that area. In addition, it was midnight that day. People were celebrating the New Year at home. There were no people outside, so there were no witnesses at all, which brought greater difficulties to finding a job." Director Ma said, "Our police officers visited the surrounding areas and did not ask any clues. As a result, early this morning, an old man who went to the lake to practice morning came to report the case. He said that a child's body was found by the lake. We hurried over and felt that he was the same age as the little strawberry, so we asked her to come here. Who knows that it was another case."

"What are you going to do next?" I asked.

"I can only mobilize the masses to find it. I don't think this conventional method is effective," Director Ma sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to find it, but... you must also be mentally prepared and do a good job of psychological work for Chen Meiqi. If you can't find it in two days, everything is hard to say."

I sighed, nodded, and stood up, "Then I'll trouble Director Ma."

"You are polite Xiao Qin, no trouble, you are assigned to work," he also stood up, "You go back first to calm her emotions. Whenever there is news on me, I will notify you immediately."

"OK."

"By the way, when I look back, I don't forget to say hello to me," he reminded.

"Don't worry, I will."

...

After walking out, I saw Aunt Mei sitting on a chair in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau, her eyes blankly.

Seeing me coming out, Aunt Mei stood up quickly, "What did Director Ma tell you?"

"He said they would do their best to find the little strawberries, so let's rest assured," I said.

Aunt Mei's expression was gloomy, "It's been two days now, and there is still no news at all. Do you think she will..."

"No." I held her hand and said, "I believe that Little Strawberry must be alive, and I have a premonition that we will find her soon."

"Really?" Aunt Mei's eyes were shining, looking at me.

"certainly."

Although I was just comforting her for the time being, at this time, I could only give her confidence in this way.

Aunt Mei nodded, "Qin Zheng, what am I doing now? I don't think I can just wait for them to give me news. I have to take the initiative to do something, otherwise I will be in a state of decline."

"Of course I have to do something." I said.

"What are you doing?" Aunt Mei asked hurriedly.

"You eat the meal first." I said.

Aunt Mei shook her head, "I can't eat it. Qin Zheng, let's find a way to find the little strawberry first. I know you have a bright mind, so there must be a way, right?"

"There is a way," I said, "but the premise is that you have to eat first. Aunt Mei, you have fainted from hypoglycemia just now. If you don't eat, you can't hold on."

"I'm fine." Aunt Mei said stubbornly.

"No," I insisted, "must have to eat first."

At my strong request, Aunt Mei finally compromised and I took her to find a restaurant for dinner.

Aunt Mei really couldn't eat it, but she could barely swallow it and ate some.

After dinner, I felt that her mental state was much better.

"That's right." I said, "Aunt Mei, when I saw Superman before, Superman said that no matter when or what happens, you must take good care of yourself first, otherwise you will not be able to save the whole world."

After hearing this, Aunt Mei showed a rare smile, "Qin Zheng, I feel much more at ease with you by my side. You don't know how I came here in the past two days..."

"Aunt Mei, actually, I planned to come to find you that night, but... something suddenly came to a delay." I said.

"You need to say nothing, I know, your parents definitely don't want you to come." Aunt Mei said, "I can understand."

"It's not them, it's Lu Yating who suddenly came back." I said.

Aunt Mei was stunned, "Oh, so that's the case, then you... should really stay with her..."

"It's a bit tricky here, so I want to come and help you first." I said.

"Is she... angry with you?" asked Aunt Mei.

"No." I said, "the airport she sent me to."

Aunt Mei nodded silently and said sadly, "She is pretty good."

"I won't talk about this anymore, Aunt Mei, let's go and find Xiao Strawberry as soon as possible." I said.

"Is there any good way for you?" Aunt Mei asked.

I thought for a while and said, "Aunt Mei, that's what I think. I think Xiao Strawberry is still young after all. She comes out alone and doesn't bring any money. I think she should be in a familiar place."

"You mean, she is near home?" asked Aunt Mei, "But the police have already looked for it near the Lin family, and there is no news."

"Look for it again." I said, "Do you have any photos of the little strawberries on your phone? We print some missing person notices and post them everywhere nearby. By the way, add the reward, Aunt Mei, do you have spare money in your hands?"

"I asked the handsome man to transfer the cafe's turnover this year. It's one million, is it enough?" asked Aunt Mei.

"Enough, half a hundred thousand is enough." I said.

"One million." Aunt Mei sighed and said, "Anyway, without her, it doesn't make sense for me to keep the money."

"Why didn't Chen Meinan come to help you?" I asked.

"He... went on vacation abroad with his girlfriend."

...

We went to print some missing person notices and posted some everywhere in communities and streets near Linjia.

It was already late, and I found that Aunt Mei's walking posture became more and more difficult. After we walked for an afternoon, my feet were sore. You can imagine how Aunt Mei felt with her injured feet.

But Aunt Mei still didn't mean to stop, "Qin Zheng, let's go out for a while and post more."

"Let's do it now." I said to Aunt Mei, "This missing person notice is almost gone. Besides, your feet are...

"I'm fine, just print some missing person notices." Aunt Mei said.

"Let's go to the Lin family to have a look." I said.

"What are you doing at his house?" Aunt Mei said angrily, "They still don't even help me."

"Go and see if Xiao Strawberry has any clues before leaving." I said.

Aunt Mei was stunned, "Is there any clue?"

"Go and have a look." I said.

Actually, I just wanted to give Aunt Mei a rest on an excuse.

"Okay, I just want to take away the little strawberry stuff," said Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei took me to Lin Mubai's house.

It was really a very dilapidated community. There were no lights in the community, and there were no lights in the corridor.

We went into the dark and Aunt Mei knocked on the door. After a while, an old man opened the door. As soon as he saw Aunt Mei, he asked, "Have you found the child?"

"No." Aunt Mei said.

"Then why are you here to come?" the old man said angrily.

"I want to... take away some small strawberry stuff." Aunt Mei said.

"Take a shit!" said the old man, "All the kids are lost, do you still have the face to get things?"

"you……"

"What are you?" the old man said angrily, "Get out!"

After saying that, he pushed Aunt Mei open and slammed the door.

Aunt Mei was pushed and staggered, and she didn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground immediately!
