Temporary partner

Ji Yan stood aside, silently in a daze, when a crutch fell to his feet.He leaned over to pick it up and handed it to the little girl who came timidly.

The little girl looked at him, pursed her lips and said, "Thank you uncle."

It can be seen that Zhao Guitian taught the children well, which is very rare in such a family with a strong cursing mother-in-law and a mentally handicapped husband.Ji Yan smiled at her: "You are really sensible."

The little girl put her hands behind her back and asked shyly, "Are you the police uncle?"

Ji Yan nodded.

The little girl suddenly opened her hand: "You are not allowed to take my mother away!"

Zhao Guitian called out from the side: "Big girl!" She picked up the child and explained embarrassingly: "This child listened to her grandma's nonsense, I'm really sorry."

Zu Tianyang smiled: "Little girl, we won't arrest your mother. The police uncle only arrests bad people, not good people."

The little girl nodded with a vague understanding.

Zhao Guitian handed the child to her husband: "Go, take the big girl in and see if the preserved egg is asleep."

Li Dagui took the child and said foolishly, "I won't go."

Zhao Guitian said, "Go quickly."

Li Dagui said: "Don't go! My mother said she won't keep an eye on you, and you ran away with someone in a while! You stinky bitch who ran away with that old bachelor!"

Zhao Guitian's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang didn't make a sound, Village Chief Ma stood up and hit Li Dagui with a cigarette bag and pot: "I told you to talk nonsense! Your mother is not a thing, and you It's not a thing! That's what Bao Lizhu forced your daughter-in-law to do!"

Zhao Guitian had already wiped away her tears. She covered her face and ran into the house crying. Li Dagui foolishly wanted to follow, but was stopped and beaten by Village Chief Ma. Mrs. Li saw her son being beaten in the house, so she hurried out to stop her: "Hey, what are you doing, village chief! He's a fool, what do you care about with him!"

Village head Ma slammed the pipe on the stone table a few times: "Grandma Li! What did Zhao Guitian do to you when he married into your family? She is a hardworking and good girl, and she gave birth to children for your family." It's not easy, no one is allowed to mention that matter at the beginning! Besides, Bao Lizhu didn't succeed, isn't she still a big and innocent girl! You say you!"

Mrs. Li stomped her feet: "Why are you relying on me again? I don't care about her now, she can do whatever she likes, and I don't care if she goes back to her mother's house. I have a grandson, so what else do I care about?" Are you dating her? It’s done, it’s done, the village chief, you’ve read and asked all the questions, can you go? My daughter-in-law here is going to catch a big fair and she’s got trouble? That’s why I have to go out, if To be honest, stay at home, how can there be so many gossip!"

Zu Tianyang nodded: "Let's go now, excuse me."

After going out, Zu Tianyang asked the village chief: "I think Zhao Guitian looks fair and clean, why did he find Li Dagui?"

The village chief sighed: "It's not because of poverty. Zhao Guitian's family is so poor that they can't get rid of it. This girl is also stubborn and strong, but she has been stimulated and her brain is not working well. Alas, it was a scandal a few years ago, no Say it, don't say it."

Zu Tianyang said: "She has a bad reputation?"

The village chief said: "Li Dagui is a fool, can he take his words seriously? It's not that she has a bad reputation. When she first got married, an old bachelor looked at her handsome and wanted to take advantage of her, but he was arrested later. This new wife Encountering such a thing, it always makes people chew their tongues."

Zu Tianyang said: "This is wrong, Zhao Guitian is also a victim."

The village chief said: "Who says it's not? But this is how rural people are. Hey, expert, tell the truth, can I still find my girl? Every day I close my eyes, my mind is full of thoughts. She, what did I do? I heard that the melon seed fryer in the town ran away? Did he do it? "

Zu Tianyang comforted him: "It's not him, but we have a new situation, don't worry, we will do our best to find them back."

After going back at night, Zu Tianyang got up and tore off the first piece of paper from the wall. Ji Yan leaned over to look at it, and Zu Tianyang pointed to him one by one the branches on it: "Since these two girls didn't take the bus back to the village , then there are two possibilities: whether to return to the village or to use other methods to return to the village. We need to investigate the people in this village who used other means of transportation to go to the market that day, and it is possible that the two of them walked back along the crop field. I plan to walk the fields from the county town to the village to see if I find anything."

Ji Yan shook his head: "This possibility is too small. I have studied the way back before. It takes more than an hour to walk out of the town along the road, and to enter the village has to hike over the mountains. Adding it all together requires little talk. It took more than half a day, and the physical strength was also exhausted. It is not safe for the two girls to walk like this."

Zu Tianyang said: "It is reasonable to say so, but they lived in the mountains since they were young. Didn't they always walk out of the village before the road was repaired? Let's take a walk tomorrow and try, maybe we can find something new."

Ji Yan said: "Why are you so obsessed with this problem? Every time you put forward a hypothesis, I will try it with you. What is the result? The bus is wrong, the bus stop is not right, and now you suspect that you are walking, you use your brain Think about it, will they walk back for most of the day? It’s not that there is no car!”

Zu Tianyang was scolded bloody by Team Ji: "Don't be angry, don't be angry." He pointed to the spider web on the paper and said, "Look, it's impossible for such two living people to disappear out of thin air. Since they didn't If you take the bus home, you will either be driven away in the market, or you will choose to walk back. If you are taken away in the market, the possibility of committing the crime is the greatest, but the acquaintance should know that Mr. Ma The status in the town, if a stranger commits a crime, it must be a relatively remote place, because two girls of this age, especially Ma Yufen is still a college student, their quality should be relatively high, and they will not easily go with strangers. If there is a dispute and the forced bazaar is so lively, it is impossible for no one to see it. Maybe they are walking along the road, intending to stop a car from a fellow on the way, but in a sparsely populated place on the way, they may be caught by a stranger in the car."

Ji Yan looked at the possible descriptions on the paper, "That's how you solved the case? Try one by one? If not, we'll just waste another day."

Zu Tianyang patted him on the shoulder: "The reason is this, but we have too few clues, it's better to try one by one than nothing. Besides, we haven't gained nothing these few days, and you Look at this Village Chief Ma, his speech is vague, his behavior is secretive, he is in a meeting in the county town, and he can grasp the big and small things happening in the town at the first time. Such a capable person, his daughter is lost, will it be possible? Isn't it just a case of abduction?"

Ji Yan kept his face cold for a few minutes, then sighed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."

Zu Tianyang chuckled: "Like a primary school student, you still say I'm sorry? A partner who can't stand the explosion of a gas tank is not a good partner. Tsk tsk looks at the awkward face. Proper venting helps the body to function normally. Don't Take it to heart."

Ji Yan slapped Zu Tianyang's hand away: "Get out!"
