leaving marks

The next morning, when Song Wenran sent Wen Qian to the kindergarten, he asked the teacher for a few days off for her.After dinner that night, Song Wenran carried a backpack containing Wen Qian's change of clothes for the past few days, and sent her to the hotel her grandmother and the others had booked near the train station.

Originally, Song Wenran wanted to send Wen Qian over on the day of departure, but they booked the train tickets too early, so they simply booked the hotel near the station and had to go out early in the morning, so it would be more convenient to live here.

Song Wenran hung a children's mobile phone around Wen Qian's neck and said, "Call my brother if you have something to do."

Wen Qian wanted to make herself look more sensible, she said, "I'm not afraid." But when Song Wenran was about to leave, she took Song Wenran's hand and said, "Second brother, you must come and pick me up."

Song Wenran said: "Okay, the second brother will definitely come to pick you up. I will call you every night, okay?"

Wen Qian grabbed the phone and nodded.

Song Wenran said to her, "Listen to grandma and aunt."

Wen Qian nodded.

Then Song Wenran said to Aunt Wenqian: "Please take care of her more these days."

Aunt Wen Qian said: "Don't worry about that, we are all Wen Qian's family members, and we will definitely take good care of her."

Song Wenran looked at Wen Qian again uneasy, then turned and left the hotel.

They booked a standard room in the hotel with two single beds.

When Song Wenran left, Wen Qian sat on the bed in the back, holding her backpack uneasily, her hair lowered slightly in a daze.

The aunt washed the fruit for her and brought it to her, saying, "How about an apple?"

Wen Qian didn't speak, just shook her head.

Grandma was sitting on the next bed watching TV, and said at this time: "This child is like her mother, and she has never been likable since she was a child."

The aunt stood up straight and said, "Mom, don't say that, Wen Qian is still very good, be careful not to scare her."

Not long after the time passed, my aunt took Wenqian to the bathroom to wash up, then let her sit on the bed, helped her take off the mobile phone hanging around her neck and put it on the bedside table between the two beds, and took off her clothes Throw it on the chair next to her and let her go to bed early.

Wen Qian lay down and closed her eyes. She felt that her aunt helped her cover the quilt, turned down the volume of the TV, and turned off the light above her head.

It seems that her aunt is also very kind to her, Wen Qian thought to herself, but in fact, she has never seen her aunt before, only her grandmother and uncle, and never her grandfather.She didn't know what her grandfather looked like lying on the hospital bed, she just heard that he was going to die, and felt that he was very pitiful.Because she has just experienced the death of her parents, she already understands what it means to die, and she is very afraid of parting and never seeing each other again.

"Wen Qian?" Aunt called her in a low voice.

She heard it but didn't respond, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

My aunt just came out of the bathroom and was packing her things. Grandma came to the bedside to look at Wen Qian and said, "Fell asleep."

"Are you asleep?" said my aunt, "Then I will take it easy."

Grandma also lowered her voice, "If you go back this time, why don't you let them pick her up?"

Wen Qian suddenly opened her eyes and silently tensed up.

"What are you talking about," said my aunt, "you see how nervous he is, why won't he come and make a mess?"

Grandma said: "Didn't you tell your cousin before you came here to take Wenqian back and give them a couple to adopt. Your cousin can't have children, so it's good for them to adopt a girl."

Aunt Wenqian folded the clothes and put them in the box, "Then you want Wenqian to agree, and the brothers of the Wen family agree, how do I know that these men are willing to raise their half-sister? I thought They are all eager to get rid of it, no one wants this child!"

Grandma sighed, "Why don't you say that the boss of the Wen family is still in his 30s and still not married? Isn't there something wrong?"

"How would I know?" My aunt saw that the box was almost packed, closed the lid, and zipped it up. "Anyway, I took Wen Qian home first, and let my cousin and his wife take a look. If we really like it, we can help them think of something." There is a way."

Grandma asked her: "You said you won't let anyone go here, what can you do?"

The aunt said: "The half-brother is not yet married, and we have her grandparents here. It may not be impossible to fight for custody right?"

Grandma disagreed, "It costs money to go to court."

The aunt said: "You ask my cousin if he is willing to spend some money, and if he is not willing, let it be. Such a cute girl, who knows everything, where can he find another one? Don't talk about cousin, let me raise such an obedient child. I also think there is no problem."

Grandma sighed again, as if she was not optimistic about the development of this matter.

My aunt said: "Let's talk about it when we go back, and go to bed first."

Grandma turned off the TV and lay down next to Wen Qian beside her.

Wen Qian closed her eyes, but she never fell asleep. She was afraid and tried her best not to let herself tremble.When grandma and aunt had fallen asleep and the whole room was plunged into darkness, she kept her eyes wide open to keep herself from falling asleep.

She waited quietly, and she didn't know how long the time had passed. When she heard the slight snoring of the grandmother beside her, she gently lifted the quilt and sat up.

The room was not completely dark, some light came in through the curtains, Wen Qian turned her head to look at her aunt on the opposite bed, she was still and deeply asleep.

So she quietly picked up the clothes and trousers and put them on for herself, but she didn't notice that she buttoned two buttons wrongly. Then came the shoes. She couldn't remember where she took off the socks, so she could only put on the shoes barefoot.

After getting dressed, Wen Qian gently walked between the two beds, trying to get her mobile phone, but the clothes that grandma took off were also thrown on the bedside table, covering her mobile phone underneath.

Wen Qian wanted to remove her clothes to look for her mobile phone, but she accidentally bumped into the landline on the bedside table, which made a soft ring.

The grandma who was snoring suddenly lost her voice. Wen Qian then heard the aunt next to her turn over. She backed away in fright and leaned against the TV cabinet. She couldn't hear their heavy breathing. After standing for a while, he turned and ran outside.

There was a carpet on the floor of the hotel. She ran very softly. She came to the door and unlocked it, and ran outside.

It was more than twelve o'clock in the morning.

Wen Qian took the elevator down to the hotel lobby and walked towards the front desk. She wanted the sister at the front desk to call Song Wenran for her. She had recited Song Wenran's phone number.

But before she got there, a reception lady on duty had already seen her, stood up and asked, "Little sister, which room are you in?"

Wen Qian raised her head and said, "Sister, can you call my brother for me?"

The front desk lady asked again: "Tell me which room you escaped from first, and let me contact your family for you, okay?"

Wen Qian shook her head.

The two people on duty at the front desk looked at each other.

One person said: "Let the security check the surveillance, which room did this little sister escape from?"

The other person nodded, picked up the receiver and was about to make an intercom call.

Wen Qian felt scared, turned around and ran out of the hotel lobby.

"Oh!" The receptionist tried to stop her, but failed.

Wen Qian ran out of the hotel in one breath, and didn't start to be at a loss until she stood beside the dark and deserted street.She walked forward alone, getting more and more afraid as she walked, and finally stopped at a taxi stand, trying to call a taxi to take herself home.

She thought silently in her heart, after she got in the car, she told the driver to take her to the restaurant next to Chongyi University. His brother opened a restaurant called "Huiwei" and sent her there. She can ask her brother to pay for the car. .

Wen Qian then nervously raised her hand to imitate an adult to hail a car.

After a while, a black car stopped in front of her, but it was not a taxi.

Wen Qian took two steps back.

The car door opened, and a man called her name: "Wen Qian?"

Wen Qian stared at him, eyes widening in surprise.

The man smiled at her: "Why are you out alone so late? May I send you to find your second brother?"

Wen Qian nodded immediately.

The man got out of the car and opened the back seat door for her, "Come on, get in the car."

Wen Qian got into the car and whispered, "Thank you uncle."

-

Wen Qian disappeared.

Song Wenran slept until midnight and was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He answered the phone in a daze, and heard Aunt Wen Qian's nervous voice from over there, saying, "Wen Qian is gone, she ran away by herself."

His pajamas were wiped off in an instant, and he started to get dressed after hanging up the phone.

Bai Chong turned on the lamp on the bedside table and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Song Wenran's voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke, and he said, "Something happened to Wen Qian."

After Wen Qian ran out of the hotel, the security guards in the hotel chased after her and saw her getting into a black car, but the distance was too far and the light was too dim, so the security guards couldn't see the license plate of the car clearly. .

Later, the front desk retrieved the monitoring and found that Wen Qian had escaped from room 503, so she dialed the 503 extension number.

Wen Qian's aunt and grandmother were woken up by the phone, only to find that Wen Qian had disappeared.

They panicked, put on their clothes and went downstairs to look for them. They heard that Wen Qian got into a car and knew that they couldn't get the child back. After discussing it, they called Song Wenran.

In the middle of the night, Bai Chong drove to the hotel near the train station with Song Wenran, and the journey took less than half an hour.

Aunt Wenqian and grandma sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby wrapped in coats, both looking sad.

Song Wenran hurried in from the outside, quickly walked up to them, and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Wenqian stood up and said, "This little girl slept until midnight, we all fell asleep, and she ran away by herself."

Song Wenran didn't have time to pursue responsibility or ask them why Wen Qian ran out by herself. He just asked, "Did anyone see where she went? Did you call the police?"

Aunt Wen Qian pointed to the front desk, where a police officer was asking the hotel security about the situation at that time.

Song Wenran walked over quickly, and when he heard the security guard say that he saw the little girl getting into a black car, he immediately asked the police officer, "Can you adjust the surveillance?"

The police officer was a little annoyed that Song Wenran interrupted his questioning, and said, "We have to wait until tomorrow morning to adjust the monitoring."

At this time, Bai Chong had already parked the car and came in. He walked behind Song Wenran, put his hands on his shoulders, and signaled him to be calm, and went out with his mobile phone to make a call.

A moment later, the police officer who dispatched the police received a call from his superior. He glanced at Song Wenran and the others, and said to the other end of the phone, "Okay, let's contact the traffic police department now."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Song Wenran, "Let's go, go to the traffic police sub-station to adjust the monitoring of this section of the road."

On the way to the traffic police station, Song Wenran remained silent.

While driving, Bai Chong stretched out his right hand to hold his hand.

Song Wenran raised his head and closed his eyes, saying, "I shouldn't trust them."

Bai Chong persuaded him: "These are unexpected things, there must be something wrong with them, Wen Qian is usually so good, how could she run away by herself tonight, you can't predict everything, and you can't follow Wen Qian at every step. Qian, don't blame yourself too much."

Song Wenran shook his head.

Bai Chong said: "You can't be discouraged. Wen Qian may not be very bad now. Maybe she met a kind passerby. She may not say anything. Calm down."

Song Wenran said to Bai Chong: "I am very calm, Wen Qian is still waiting for me."

They followed the police to the traffic police sub-station but failed to obtain the surveillance immediately. After the superiors coordinated with each other, they issued a letter of introduction. It was already late at night when they actually saw the surveillance.

There was no surveillance in front of the taxi stand where Wen Qian got into the car.There is a total distance of 500 meters between the two monitors before and after this section, and there is no fork in the middle.

The police analyzed all the vehicles passing the road during this time period, and finally locked a black car, and checked the license plate and found that it was a set plate.

So I continued to call the high-definition camera of the next section of the road and found the car.Just when the camera was shooting, the vehicle passed under a bright street light, and when the light shone through, it was possible to see a man sitting in the driver's seat, wearing a baseball cap and showing the lower half of his face.

Song Wenran looked at that face, and suddenly said, "Chen Jie."

"You know him?" the officer asked, turning his head.

Bai Chong said: "This person is the fugitive suspect who tried to kidnap me before."

When the police officer who handled the case heard this, his attitude immediately became dignified. He called the superior on duty to report the situation, and then continued to check, monitor and investigate the route of the vehicle, until the car left the city from the north of the city, and the clues were cut off.

"As soon as we go to work in the morning, we will go to the north of the city to investigate and find him," the police officer said to Bai Chong.

Bai Chong nodded, and he walked up to Song Wenran who was sitting quietly in the corner and said to him, "Go back and have a rest."

Song Wenran raised his head, "How can I sleep?"

Bai Chong said: "Then it won't be of any use if you keep guarding at the police station."

Song Wenran said, "I want to make a call to my elder brother and Wen Hao."

Bai Chong glanced at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, he said: "Wait a little longer, they should get up too."

Song Wenran asked him, "Are you going to the hospital?"

Bai Chong replied: "I have to go there anyway. I'll send you home first, and then go to the hospital."

"No," Song Wenran said, "I'll take you to the hospital first, and then I'll go home."

Bai Chong put his hand on the back of his neck, "No need."

Song Wenran said: "I feel more irritable when I am alone, so I should find something to do."

When we came out of the traffic police station, it was already daylight.

Song Wenran drove Bai Chong to the hospital. On the way, Bai Chong saw a steamed stuffed bun shop with a good business and asked Song Wenran to stop for breakfast first.

They bought a few steamed buns and sat down to eat at a small square table by the side of the road with two bowls of porridge.

Song Wenran said, "It turned out to be my fault. Chen Jie obviously came after me."

Bai Chong put a bun in the bowl for him, "You should think, maybe it's a good thing that Chen Jie came after you, at least he shouldn't hurt Wen Qian casually. If he takes Wen Qian away, if the purpose is to If we make a request, then satisfy his request and let him release him."

Song Wenran didn't want to look too melancholy and depressed, so he picked up a steamed bun and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Bai Chong said: "And the target has been identified, maybe there will be clues soon."

After dinner, Song Wenran drove Bai Chong to the hospital.

It was still early, but the entrance of the hospital was already crowded with pedestrians and vehicles coming to see the doctor.

Song Wenran didn't drive the car in, but Bai Chong got out of the car at the entrance of the hospital, and said to him, "If you don't want to sleep, go sit with Wen Hao for a while."

Song Wenran knew that he was worried about him, so he nodded and said, "It's okay."

Bai Chong said: "As soon as I have news, I will call you."

Song Wenran waited for him to enter the hospital, turned the car around and parked on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone and planned to call Wen Wenyao.When he just dialed and heard the waiting tone, Song Wenran saw a man in a baseball cap standing on the side of the road ahead, looking towards him.

Chen Jie!

Song Wenran glanced at the crowded crowd and traffic in front of him, and immediately opened the door to get out of the car and ran towards Chen Jie. The phone accidentally slipped and fell in the car, and the door didn't even have time to lock.

When Chen Jie saw him get off the car, he turned around and ran, nimbly moving through the crowd, and then rushed into a small alley by the side of the road.

Song Wenran quickly chased him in. He followed the alley all the way to the opposite exit. When he came out, he was on another street, and there were still people coming and going, but there was no sign of Chen Jie.

At this time, he subconsciously wanted to call the police with his mobile phone, but when he found his pocket was empty, he remembered that he had left his mobile phone in the car just now.

Song Wenran turned around and walked towards the parking lot. He wanted to go back and call the police.

The car was parked on the side of the road, and the door was still unlocked. After he sat in, he reached out to touch the phone that had been dropped under the seat. Just as he touched it, he heard a voice from the back seat say, "Don't move, look up."

Song Wenran breathed deeply and slowly. He grabbed the phone and slowly straightened up. From the rearview mirror, he saw Chen Jie sitting in the back row, and the pistol he held in his hand aimed at his head.
