Mystery Tracker 2

Saturday, June 6, weather: sunny.

On the third floor of a shopping mall in S city, in the children's playground.

"Xiaojie, uncle told you, this is called 'whack-a-mole'." Cheng Jinsong held the inflatable hammer and explained to the little boy in front of him, "These little mice will come out of the hole in a while, you see Whoever gets out, hit it with this hammer, the more you hit, the more points you get, you know?"

"En." The little boy took the inflatable hammer and nodded vigorously. His eyes were fixed on the large game console in front of him, and his bright little eyes were shining with eagerness.

"Okay," Cheng Jinsong said, put two game coins into the machine, pressed the button, and then stood back behind the little boy: "Get ready, start!"

Dingdong music sounded, and the gophers hiding in the burrows began to stick their heads out one by one. Xiao Yujie held the small hammer tightly in both hands, and looked at the 7 burrows in front of him intently. Whenever a hamster came out, The little guy hit it with a hammer, and every time the gopher was hit, the machine would make an encouraging sound, and the little Yujie hit it harder and harder, and his little face turned red with excitement.Cheng Jinsong squatted aside to remind Xiao Yujie from time to time, occasionally raised his head to look at Shen Yan, and then they exchanged a warm smile.

Cheng Jinsong once said jokingly that Shen Yan is a 70-year-old old woman and a 7-year-old child, and everyone loves flowers.In this regard, Shen Yan's evaluation is "false evidence, lack of factual basis, and should not be accepted."Of course, Cheng Jinsong's words definitely contain the element of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".Frankly speaking, Shen Yan is indeed not the type of heartthrob. He has a serious personality and a stern face. Coupled with the momentum accumulated in his work, I am afraid that there are far more people who fear him than those who like him. .But that's just the impression of those who don't know him well. Those who are familiar with Shen Yan know that he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although he never speaks much, he never does much in action.When dealing with colleagues in the serious crime team, he never puts on leadership airs, and never criticizes him outside of investigating cases; he treats his younger brother with care and love, and is often called "a good brother with 24 filial piety" by Cheng Jinsong; the mother of his late colleague Zhao Gang, he is like He takes care of her like a real mother, and does not lose money or visits; even some victims or even criminals encountered in the investigation, if he can, he will help.No, they rescued a little friend Sun Yujie in the fire scene by chance before, and later the child's mother was killed and died. When Cheng and Chen went to the police station to investigate, Xiao Yujie held Shen Yan and cried loudly, and even begged Shen Yan not to Go, obviously quite dependent on him.However, the investigation work was heavy at the time, and Shen Yan really had no time to spare, so he made an agreement with Xiao Yujie that he would definitely come to see him as soon as the case was over.So, once the case was solved, Shen Yan dragged Cheng Jinsong to fulfill the oath.The two contacted the police station where Sun Yujie was located, and learned that the police station had transferred the child to the Municipal Children's Welfare Institute.So early in the morning on the weekend, Cheng and Chen drove to the orphanage with gifts.

Speaking of which, the two of them really had a relationship with the Municipal Children's Welfare Institute recently.The previous baby theft case at the Maternity and Infant Hospital was finally found to be a farce directed and acted by the child's parents. The two harboring ulterior motives tried to sell their own flesh and blood. When the crime team recovered the child, the baby was already a child. His life was dying, and he recovered after some treatment.When the child was discharged from the hospital, his parents had already been detained for trial, so the baby was temporarily entrusted to the Municipal Children's Welfare Institute to take care of it.Later, when the court tried the case, considering that the child was too young and his mother Hao Jie was still breastfeeding, and the fault was relatively minor, he was only sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment with a suspended execution.After the verdict was pronounced, Hao Jie took the child back to City C, where he was originally from, and the child was picked up from the orphanage.These are the things that happened last month. Unexpectedly, in less than a month, another child related to their case was sent to the Municipal Children's Welfare Institute.

It was 09:30 in the morning when the two arrived at the children's welfare home.The person who received them was still Director Zhao whom he had known in the baby case.Seeing the two of them, Director Zhao also smiled: "When the police station told me that the child's mother was killed, I wondered if you were responsible for this case, but I didn't expect it to be my guess. gone."

The two also smiled, and Shen Yan stretched out his hand: "Director Zhao, I have caused you trouble again."

"It should be done," Director Zhao reached out to shake hands with the two, and then said, "It's just a pity that there is another motherless child."

Thinking of Xiao Yujie, the two felt a little heavy.Cheng Jinsong asked: "Director Zhao, how is Sun Yujie doing now?"

"Sun Yujie has been here for three days." Director Zhao said, "He was a little timid at first, and he didn't talk to anyone, but now he has improved a bit. The little guy is very sensible. From being sent to now, he only asks I once told us where his mother is. We told him that his mother had gone away and would not come back for a long time. The little guy didn’t cry or make a fuss. He just nodded and didn’t ask again. Now we have entered welfare for him The collective account of the hospital, so that the child can go to kindergarten normally. However, we still hope that a family can adopt him and let him return to a normal family life. This may be the best for the child.”

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yan's eyes became a little concerned, and he asked: "How likely is it to adopt? What kind of people usually come to adopt?"

"I think he is quite likely to be adopted," Director Zhao said, "Generally, children with physical disabilities or mental disabilities are not easy to be adopted. A child with a healthy body and normal intelligence like him , it is relatively easy to be adopted. As for the adopters, they are mainly those families who are infertile or whose children die young. They have no children of their own and love their children very much. Generally, they will love the adopted children very much. We will You can rest assured that the adopter will conduct a careful inspection."

With Director Zhao's assurance, the two were relieved a lot.After that, they applied with Director Zhao to take the children out for a day.Director Zhao naturally readily agreed, so there was the scene at the beginning of this chapter.

The two took their children to play in the Children's Paradise for a whole morning - Sun Yulian had been extremely neglectful of her son before, and often locked the children at home alone, so Sun Yujie had never been to a place like a Children's Paradise.It was the first time I saw so many interesting toys today, the little guy was very happy, all of them looked fresh, Cheng and Chen saw this, they led the little guy to try one by one, and if they didn't like it once, they would try it again.So for a whole morning, Xiao Yujie played all the items in the whole park, and finally won a lot of score cards.At the final settlement, the staff counted the number of point cards, and finally told the three people that they could exchange points for a toy.

"Xiaojie, look at those toys on the shelf." Shen Yan hugged the child, pointing to the toys on the shelf and said, "Which one do you like?"

Sun Yujie scanned the toys on the shelf, and finally reached out to a toy pistol: "That!"

Shen Yan was a little surprised, because Sun Yujie usually looked quiet, and he really didn't look like a kid who likes to wield knives and guns, so he asked curiously: "Why does Xiaojie want a gun?"

"Because the gun is used by the police uncle, Grandma Zhao said, Uncle Shen, Uncle Cheng, and the uncles and aunts in the police station are all policemen, and I want to be a policeman when I grow up..."

? !

This answer was really beyond their expectations. Cheng and Chen looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Little Jie, you have ideals!" Cheng Jinsong smiled and patted the child's head, "We want this!"

After exchanging the toys, it was past twelve noon, so the two took the child to KFC for lunch—it wasn’t that they didn’t want to take the child to eat something good, but that the little guy walked outside his house and saw the There is a children's play area where they can't move, but the two have no choice but to "do as the guests please".While eating and playing like this, when the three of them actually came out of KFC, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.Sun Yujie had been excited all morning, and now that he was full and full, he was sleepy and rushed up.When Shen Yan just picked him up, the little guy was still trying to keep his eyes open, but after walking a few steps, Shen Yan felt his shoulders sinking. When he turned around, he saw that the little guy had fallen asleep lying on his shoulder.

Cheng and Chen looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"How about it, is it time to send the child back?" Cheng Jinsong asked softly.

Shen Yan nodded, looked at the child on his shoulder, with a little regret in his soft eyes: "I don't know when will be the next time he will play like this."

"If you like, you can take him out to play next weekend." Cheng Jinsong comforted, "And, after he is adopted, his adoptive parents will love him very much and will often take him out."

Shen Yan nodded, looking at the child's immature face, he secretly hoped that what Cheng Jinsong said would really come true.

The two talked softly like this while walking towards the elevator, but just as they walked to the side of the escalator and were about to go downstairs, they unexpectedly saw two men on the escalator next to them just riding the elevator up.Both of them are in their early forties, about 1.8 meters tall. One of them is wearing a shirt and trousers, with a Chinese character face, with a peaceful and gentle face, and the other is wearing a casual dress with a pair of sunglasses on his face. He blocked his brows and eyes, but he could still feel the fierce aura emanating from this man.The two walked up the elevator chatting and chatting, and they met Cheng and Chen.

The four of them were startled and stopped at the same time.

"Chen Chu?" Shen Yan spoke first, he greeted Chen Dong, then frowned and looked at him——

Beside Chen Dong, the man in casual clothes also took off his sunglasses, and a pair of familiar eyes appeared in front of them.Those eyes glanced between Cheng and Chen, and finally landed on the child on Shen Yan's shoulder.

With a meaningful smile, Li Guangbei said, "Long time no see, Captain Shen." Then, as if he was afraid that he would not offend Shen Yan, he added, "The child is well taken care of."

Shen Yan hugged the child and looked at Li Guangbei with a look of wariness and displeasure.

Cheng Jinsong raised his forehead a little - Shen Yan and Li Guangbei didn't know if it was because of their innate horoscopes, every time they met, they would almost exchange a few words.Ordinarily, the two of Wei Yuan and Gong Zhengrong had cooperated in the case before, but for some reason, Shen Yan still had a bad impression of Li Guangbei.And Li Guangbei didn't know where the bad taste came from. Every time he saw Shen Yan, he had to provoke (flirt?) or say a few words, and then he succeeded in provoking Shen Yan every time.Not wanting to repeat the same mistakes today, Cheng Jinsong decided to change the subject first: "Brother Chen, Boss Li, when did you come to City S? You two came here to buy something?"

"No," Chen Dong said, but he didn't continue after speaking halfway, with a hesitant expression on his expression.It was Li Guangbei who continued, "We are here to coax the children."

As he said that, his slightly teasing eyes glanced at Shen Yan again intentionally or unintentionally.

"Li Guangbei, you..." Shen Yan really exploded again.

Cheng Jinsong quickly grabbed Shen Yan, while Chen Dong also frowned at Li Guangbei, motioning him to stop talking.Li Guangbei smiled, and was about to speak when he heard his cell phone ring.

Li Guangbei took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and said to Chen Dong: "She's here, I'll go downstairs to pick her up, you go and wait for me first."

Chen Dong nodded, and Li Guangbei went downstairs again.

After he walked away, Chen Dong turned around. He looked at Cheng and Chen with a slightly unnatural expression.

Listening to the conversation between the two just now, it is obvious that something is going on.Seeing Chen Dong's expression at this moment, Cheng Jinsong said understandingly: "Brother Chen, if you have something to do, go and do it. Shen Yan and I will go first, and we will meet again at another time."

"It's not official business..." Chen Dong hesitated, and finally said: "If you are not in a hurry, let's find a place to sit down and talk about it."
