Marriage in crisis

I closed my eyes and carefully recalled the scene when I grabbed his little hand and handed him to the teacher.

But I can't remember what kind of shoes he was wearing.

I opened my eyes and shook my head helplessly, "I really don't remember, I didn't pay attention to his feet at all!"

In fact, what I said is absolutely reasonable, and the reasons are very substantial. Who would deliberately look at what kind of shoes their children are wearing if they are fine?

There was disappointment in the eyes of the two police officers.

I kept looking at the shoe in silence.

Although I am not sure whether this shoe belongs to Deng Yaozu, I always feel that this shoe has an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

It is so clear in front of my eyes, but the appearance of it on the child's feet is so blurry.

It was like I saw Deng Yaozu again. He was so close to me, but I couldn't get close.

I suddenly remembered the scene in the sewer pipe.

It's the same way, he was very close to me, literally squatting in front of my eyes, but I couldn't touch him no matter what.

The two police officers looked a little regretful and shook their heads helplessly, as if they wanted to take the shoe away and end our conversation.

At this moment, the scene of Deng Yaozu squatting in front of me appeared in front of me again.

I quickly stretched out my hand and pressed the shoe, "Wait...!"

The two police officers looked at me in unison.

I closed my eyes and recalled the moment in the sewer pipe. He squatted pitifully in front of me, staring at my face tightly, with a look of confusion and helplessness on his face.

I followed my thoughts and looked at him, then moved my gaze to his feet.

At this moment, I could see clearly that he was wearing exactly such shoes on his little feet.

I collapsed all of a sudden and cried out, "...Officer, these are Deng Yaozu's shoes. I'm sure these are Deng Yaozu's shoes, that child's shoes!"

I said eagerly while wiping away my tears.

The two policemen looked at me in surprise, a little questioning, "Are you sure? Didn't you just say you weren't sure?"

I nodded glumly and said with tears, "Sure, I'm sure! That kid is wearing shoes like this."

The female police officer stood up, comforted me and said, "Ms. Lu, please speak slowly, don't get excited, don't put too much pressure on yourself, please answer my questions carefully."

I tried my best to control my emotions and nodded solemnly.

"Are you sure these shoes are those worn by Deng Yaozu?"

I nodded seriously and said with a solemn expression, "I'm sure! They are indeed the shoes worn by Deng Yaozu."

She paused for a moment and asked, "How are you sure?"

I wiped my face and looked at her a little hesitantly, wondering if they would believe me if I said it.

The female police officer looked at me encouragingly, nodded and said, "Just tell the truth, don't have any worries."

I then narrated to the two police officers the scene where I saw the child in a daze when I was kidnapped.

After listening to my story, the two police officers looked a little surprised. They looked at each other in confusion, then looked at me and asked again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" My expression was quite serious.

Chi Xi stood behind me the whole time and nodded to the police to confirm the credibility of my words.

I asked, "Mr. Police Officer, tell me, have you found any trace of the child? You said you found this shoe in the suburbs, but what about the child? Didn't you see the child?"

My questioning was very urgent, and my attitude was inevitably a bit stiff. I really wanted to know what happened to the child now!

Chi Xi's hand on my shoulder pressed down, suggesting that I stabilize my emotions, but I was really restraining myself.

The female police officer's expression was serious and regretful, "Sorry, Ms. Lu! We only found the shoe but not the child! But... we speculate that the child may have been killed!"
