Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Half an hour later, Li Qingfeng was almost falling asleep.

The police officers who were out on duty have all returned.

After a few minutes, someone walked into the conference room every ten seconds or so.

Liu Chuanzhi finally walked into the conference room, looked at everyone in the room, and asked, "Tell us about your own situation!"

Li Qingfeng saw that no one stood up to speak, so he took the lead and said, "Director, we have checked all the abandoned houses and places in our jurisdiction, and we didn't find anything suspicious."

Liu Meng looked at Li Qingfeng and said, "Director, I led the team and the street office staff to visit every household in the jurisdiction, and did not find any suspicious people or places."

Deputy Director Zhao Benquan said, "Old Liu, there is nothing else going on in the institute, but a lot of petty thieves have been sent here in just one day. What do you think we should do about them?"

Liu Chuanzhi thought for a moment and said with a straight face, "Transfer him to the detention center. We can't waste time on these people anymore. Our most important task now is to catch this gang of human traffickers."

"Yeah, I got it."

Zhao Benquan nodded and recorded the results of the petty theft in the notebook.

Liu Chuanzhi lit a cigarette and continued, "Neither I nor the instructor found any news."

"We'll stop here for today. Tomorrow, Team One will go to the suburbs for investigation, and Team Two will continue to visit the people."

"Meeting dismissed."

After Liu Chuanzhi finished speaking, he took the notebook and walked out of the meeting room first.

Li Qingfeng and Liu Meng walked out of the meeting room while whispering about today's investigation process.

After returning to Team 1, Li Qingfeng explained tomorrow's mission, kept the police officers on duty, and let the other police officers in Team 1 go home.

Li Qingfeng walked out of the police station, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly towards home. As he walked, he paid attention to the expressions of passers-by.

When I got home, I didn't find anything suspicious.

After taking a breath, Li Qingfeng pushed open the door and walked into the yard. At a glance, he saw Wu Lirong washing clothes in the yard.

Wu Lirong heard the noise behind her and turned around to see that it was Brother Qingfeng who had returned. She stood up and wiped the water stains on her hands with her apron, then asked with a smile, "Brother Qingfeng, you're back! What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Please serve some noodles!"

Li Qingfeng followed Wu Lirong into the kitchen, lit a cigarette, and then asked, "Lirong, where are the children?"

Wu Lirong lowered her head to cut tomatoes and replied without even looking up, "I went straight back to my room to read after dinner."

After saying that, he took two eggs, beat them in a bowl and mixed them well, preparing to make tomato and egg stew.

Before she finished smoking a cigarette, Wu Lirong had already prepared the noodles and served Li Qingfeng a big bowl full of them.

Li Qingfeng put out the cigarette, picked up the tomato and egg sauce, poured it into the noodles, stirred it twice, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Wu Lirong watched this scene, poured a bowl of water for Li Qingfeng, and said softly: "Brother Qingfeng, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll make you some noodles."

Li Qingfeng, with noodles in his mouth, replied incoherently: "Enough...enough, don't worry about me, Lirong, just do your own thing!"

"Row."

Wu Lirong walked out of the kitchen and went back to the yard to continue washing clothes.

Just as she sat down to wash clothes, Wu Lirong heard someone knocking on the door and wondered who would come here so late at night?

He stood up and walked to the gate, and asked softly, "Who is outside?"

He Daqing went out to the outskirts of the city today to attend a wedding banquet. He noticed that something was wrong with the neighbor near his employer. His employer's son was getting married, but instead of coming to congratulate him, the neighbor was beating and scolding the child in the yard.

I asked the older sister who came to the kitchen to help wash and serve the vegetables, and what she meant was that a few relatives from other places had come to the house at some point, carrying a few children with them, and the family was at home entertaining the relatives and had no time to come over for the banquet.

He came out early and didn't know that the city police had come to inquire about the lost child, so He Daqing didn't think much about it.

After He Daqing finished preparing the wedding banquet and eating, he took the kitchen utensils home. It was almost three or four in the afternoon. By this time, the police and street office who had come to the courtyard to investigate had all left.

After returning home and having dinner, I heard about this from Zhang Lan (He Yuzhu's mother). Suddenly, I remembered what the sister who worked in the kitchen said in the afternoon: Could outsiders with several children be human traffickers?

He Daqing told Zhang Lan his guess.

After listening to He Daqing's words, Zhang Lan was still unsure whether he was a human trafficker or not, so she asked him to tell Li Qingfeng. She would feel at ease whether he told her or not.

He Daqing put on his shoes and strode all the way to Li Qingfeng's house, then he knocked on Li Qingfeng's door.

After knocking on the door, I stood outside the door hesitantly when I heard a voice coming from the courtyard, and replied softly: "I am He Daqing from Courtyard 95, and I have something to talk to Qingfeng about."

After hearing this, Wu Lirong opened the door and said with a smile, "Master He! Come in first! Brother Qingfeng is eating in the kitchen!"

"Okay, excuse me." He Daqing walked into the yard and went straight to the kitchen without waiting for Wu Lirong to greet him. Seeing Li Qingfeng eating noodles, he greeted him awkwardly, "Qingfeng, you're eating!"

Li Qingfeng heard the noise, looked up, and saw that it was He Daqing. He put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile: "It's Master He! Come and sit down."

Then he said to Wu Lirong who followed in: "Lirong, pour Master He a cup of tea."

"Yes." Wu Lirong took the cup and added some tea leaves, then came to the stove, picked up the kettle and poured hot water into it, then placed it on the table in front of He Daqing, and said with a smile, "Master He, have some tea."

"Thank you." He Daqing thanked him.

"It's okay." Wu Lirong replied with a smile, and then went to the yard to continue washing clothes.

Li Qingfeng handed He Daqing a cigarette and asked, "Master He, have you eaten?"

"I came here after eating." He Daqing took the cigarette and used a match to light cigarettes for Li Qingfeng and himself. After hesitating for a while, he continued, "Qingfeng, I came to you to tell you something."

"Master He, you go ahead." Li Qingfeng smoked a cigarette and waited for what He Daqing would say next.

He Daqing organized his words in his mind and replied, "Qingfeng, aren't your police and street office here to investigate the human traffickers today?"

"I just heard from my wife, and she feels a bit like the neighbor I went out to the wedding banquet with today."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng frowned and said, "Master He, tell me the details of that family."

He Daqing took a puff of cigarette, and then repeated to Li Qingfeng what the helper said at noon, and also told him the address: "Qingfeng, this is the situation."

Li Qingfeng was smoking a cigarette. After listening to He Daqing's story, he was a little unsure whether the people described by He Daqing were human traffickers. It seemed that he could only wait until He Daqing left and then go and confirm it himself regardless of whether they were human traffickers or not.

It would be best if they are not a human trafficking gang. If they are, that would be even better. With a target direction, they won’t have to wander around like a headless fly.
