Chapter 100

When the little boy cried out the name "Yu Guang," Tan Yunlong's ears immediately pricked up.

He had just mentioned this "Yu Guang" to his son in the early morning, and in the morning his son called to say that he had found the corpse of the missing person Tang Qiuying.

At the same time, he also asked him to bring the files about "Yu Guang" by the way, saying that he had just gone to the dormitory on the same floor to visit, and heard a classmate sleeping in late shouting "Yu Guang" in his sleep.

So he suspected that this classmate of his might have been abducted to Fujian by human traffickers. This classmate's name was Lin Shu You.

Tan Yunlong definitely didn't believe this kind of nonsense, but he knew that his son dared to talk nonsense so confidently in front of him, he must be borrowing power to intimidate.

Since it was Xiao Yuan who wanted this file, he definitely gave it.

Isn't this, sure enough, the clues matched up.

To this, Tan Yunlong was already a bit used to it.

However, after hearing this little boy named Yongyong change his self-reference to "Beibei" in excitement, Tan Yunlong also felt relieved in his heart.

Under the current conditions, it is not only difficult to search for abducted children, but it is also not very easy to find biological parents for abducted children who have been rescued.

Human traffickers often abduct very young children, and then immediately take long-distance buses or trains to transfer them.

Experienced human trafficker groups often do not use cities or provinces as their scope of activity, but use "East, South, West, North" as the areas for abduction and sale.

Children are young and can't remember things, and will soon forget their past; the records of parents regarding the child's appearance, habits, and other characteristics may lose their validity in half a year or a year.

What is even more hateful is that even after some human traffickers are caught, they will deliberately conceal criminal facts.

Tan Yunlong had also seen many haggard parents who held photos and toys of their children when they were infants and searched for their children bitterly for many years.

He is also a father, and can understand that kind of sour sadness.

If this Yongyong, oh no, if Beibei can recall some details and can locate which province or city, that will be a huge help in finding his biological parents.

Tan Yunlong kept looking at the boy through the rearview mirror. He hoped the boy would have a method.

"Uncle Tan, Beibei is hungry, stop in front and buy some snacks."

"Xiao Yuan, how long will it take to buy."

"Wait until I call you to get on the car."

Tan Yunlong stopped the car at the intersection in front. After getting off the car, other police cars and motorcycles that came back passed by. Tan Yunlong waved to them to signal them to go first, and then he pointed to the small shop beside him.

The colleagues went back to the bureau first.

Tan Yunlong was a bit further away from the police car, standing under a utility pole and lighting a cigarette. Although his eyes were looking around, his attention never left the police car range.

As the captor of the suspect, there was also an abducted child in the car. Logically, he should return to the bureau to go through the procedures as early as possible and couldn't delay too much time, but he didn't urge Li Zhuiyuan when he got off the car, and didn't even remind him to hurry up.

Because he knew that the environment in the police station was noisy, and it was difficult to arrange a space for Xiao Yuan to be alone with Beibei without being disturbed.

Very good, it seems Xiao Yuan has a way.

Tan Yunlong bit the cigarette and looked into the police car again. Through the car window, he saw Li Zhuiyuan sitting in the back seat take a talisman and stick it on Beibei's forehead.

The cigarette butt in his mouth shook, and the ash fell on his body.

Tan Yunlong hurriedly patted it, and then moved his gaze away.

Inside the police car, Beibei, who was stuck with the clear-heart talisman, stopped crying.

The clear-heart talisman is originally for living people to stick. Its function is to drive away the influence of evil spirits on them. Even if there are no evil spirits on them, sticking it can also have a calming effect.

Beibei really stopped crying. He wiped his tears and looked at the brother in front of him quietly.

Li Zhuiyuan placed the pen in front of him, signaled him to stare at the pen in his hand, and then guided Beibei into his own hypnotic rhythm step by step.

Li Zhuiyuan hadn't systematically learned knowledge in psychology, nor had he learned hypnosis, but he had been studied for psychological problems and had been hypnotized many times.

Although it didn't cure his illness, it did indeed achieve "long-term illness makes a doctor."

Beibei's eyelids gradually closed, entering the "you ask me to answer" session led by Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't ask about "Yu Guang" first, because this memory would cause strong stimulation to the little boy, leading to the failure of hypnosis, so Li Zhuiyuan first asked about the life of the "young father and mother" in the little boy's deep memory.

The little boy's various aspects were not yet mature, including language and concepts. You have to disrupt your established thinking and cognition, accept the "description" he provided, and then integrate and translate these descriptions.

Fortunately, these were not difficult for Li Zhuiyuan. It wasn't because he was also young, but because the feng shui books he read were often countless times more abstract and obscure than the descriptions of the child's world.

Tan Yunlong's cigarette was gone. He walked into the small shop to buy some drinks, snacks, and two packs of cigarettes. With a big and a small child staying in the police car, he really didn't worry about any safety problems.

When he came out after buying things, he saw Beibei crying bitterly in the car. After Li Zhuiyuan met his gaze, he waved at him.

Tan Yunlong opened the car door and returned to the car. While handing the snacks and drinks to the back, he asked:

"How is it, Xiao Yuan?"

Li Zhuiyuan showed the paper in his hand to him, on which many strange descriptions and some phonetic symbols were recorded.

By intuition, Tan Yunlong judged that it should be the residual memory of Beibei about his real hometown.

"Xiao Yuan, can you..."

"Uncle Tan, I'll organize it and give it to you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yuan. Are those phonetic symbols dialect words?"

"Hmm, but I don't know where they are from."

"It's okay, this can be asked.

Hehe, if this dialect is from our Jiangsu or our Nantong, it will be even better to determine the location.

Many places have one dialect for half a province or even the whole province, even if there are some detailed differences, it's about the same. Our Nantong city has four or five dialects, and they can't understand each other."

"Hmm, when I participated in the city math competition, when the accompanying teachers from various schools were chatting together, they used Mandarin."

It wasn't that the teachers were civilized and established a new style, it was purely that chatting in their respective dialects was like a chicken talking to a duck.

Li Zhuiyuan opened a can of drink and handed it to Beibei.

Beibei was sobbing while holding the drink. After drinking two sips, he cried and laughed.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh: Children are still easy to coax.

Similar expressions and actions, he would also do when he was young, and he paid more attention to details and rhythm.

Other parents would think it was normal and cute, only Li Lan would keep dragging him to the psychiatric hospital.

Tan Yunlong drove seriously.

Li Zhuiyuan silently turned the paper over. On the back was Beibei's memory about Yu Guang.

"Someone is flying in the sky, many people are flying."

"Fire man, fire man, fire man."

"Disappeared, gone."

"Seven little dwarfs."

"Plasticine."

These descriptions were a bit too unbelievable.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that he shouldn't use too complex and meticulous puzzle-solving methods to analyze, but should find a feeling.

But this feeling wasn't too easy to find.

Let's put it aside first. Li Zhuiyuan turned the paper back to the other side to organize Beibei's memory about his old home first.

After organizing, Li Zhuiyuan transcribed the information onto another piece of paper and handed it to Tan Yunlong who was driving.

"So fast?"

"Hmm."

Tan Yunlong scanned the information above: "Hiss... looks like somewhere in Shanxi? I'm not sure, wait until we get to the bureau and let them verify it."

The car drove into the bureau, and a police officer came over to ask: "Tan Ge, why did you just come back? People over there are waiting for you."

"Fixed a tire on the way."

Tan Yunlong led Li Zhuiyuan and Beibei to get off the car.

Beibei was taken over by a female police officer. While following the female police officer, he kept looking back at his brother while holding the drink, but that brother turned around and didn't even look at him.

"Xiao Yuan, you wait for me here for a while. After I finish handling the matter, I will go back to school with you to find Binbin for a late-night snack. I will hurry up."

"Okay, Uncle Tan."

Tan Yunlong was worried, and signaled a young police officer in front: "Little Zhou, this is my nephew, take care of him."

"Okay, Tan Ge." Little Zhou walked to Li Zhuiyuan, "Come, little brother, follow me to the lounge."

Li Zhuiyuan followed.

He originally thought the lounge would be a relatively quiet place, just right for him to think carefully.

Who knew that after being pushed open and brought in, he found that there were more than a dozen children here. Some small ones were sitting on the ground playing with toys, and some who were the same age as Li Zhuiyuan and some who were older than him were all finding tables and chairs to do their homework.

So, this is a temporary nursery in the police station for children to wait for their fathers and mothers to get off work?

He was actually arranged here.

At this time, the older children and younger children who were doing homework and playing with toys all raised their heads and looked at this new face curiously.

"Little brother, come, I'll get you something to eat."

"No need, Officer Zhou, I'm not hungry."

"Then what grade are you in? Shall I get you some books to read?"

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and didn't answer.

There was an empty seat on one side of the desk, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was sitting inside. Li Zhuiyuan sat down in the empty seat:

"Officer Zhou, I'm fine, you go get busy."

"Oh, okay. Tiantian, take care of the new little brother."

"Hmm."

The girl responded very perfunctorily, then gathered the hair by her ear with the hand holding the pen, and continued to bury her head in doing homework.

Although there were many children here, they were generally very quiet. Even the few children playing with toys were playing quietly by themselves, and speaking to each other was also very quiet.

Li Zhuiyuan simply continued to study the "Beibei Code" here.

After a while, the girl named Tiantian beside him turned her head and looked at the boy beside her. Once she looked, she couldn't help but continue looking.

Regardless of gender, people have an instinctive good feeling for beautiful things.

Just like when Li Zhuiyuan first saw A Li, in fact, he is now also "A Li" in the eyes of others.

After all, the clothes on his body were custom-made by Liu Yumei, and the hairstyle was also cut by Liu Yi.

Just when she was about to open her mouth to ask whose family this boy was from, she saw the boy turn his head and look at the few children playing with toys on the ground over there.

Immediately after, the boy closed his eyes again, then picked up his pen, and began to write quickly on the paper.

Someone is flying in the sky - tied with ropes or stepping on frames, spinning around on the top.

Fire man - fire breathing.

Disappeared, gone - magic, big change of living person.

Seven little dwarfs - actors suffering from dwarfism.

Plasticine - contortion performance?

This is... an acrobatics troupe!

That is to say, Beibei was abducted when he was watching acrobatics with his family.

And, such descriptions appeared repeatedly and at high frequency in Beibei's memory, which means he didn't just watch it once. He should have stayed in the acrobatics troupe for a period of time.

Therefore, there is reason to suspect that Yu Guang is hiding in some acrobatics troupe.

The characteristic of an acrobatics troupe is touring performances everywhere, performing one or two shows in one place. If there are not many audiences and the income is not high, they will change to the next place immediately.

Yu Guang using this identity as a cover to commit child trafficking is very convenient.

Beibei was beaten and scolded and threatened by Yu Guang in his memory, and he recognized Yu Guang's standard appearance, which means two possibilities:

One is that the Yu Guang worshipped in the acrobatics troupe is her true body. Children are prone to seeing some special things, and he was influenced by Yu Guang.

Two is that there is a person in the acrobatics troupe who is a worshipper of Yu Guang, and while worshipping, she is also imitating her...

No, considering this is pushed to him by the river water, there must be the influence of Yu Guang's true body.

Then the second possibility has to be changed to, that worshipper, maybe not imitating, but possessed or assimilated by her.

However, the problem comes now. There are countless acrobatics troupes running around the country now. How can we determine which one is the one Yu Guang is in?

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Tan Yunlong walked in, looking at so many children here, his face was a bit stunned.

Why was Xiao Yuan arranged into a nest of children?

In his view, his own son Binbin staying here is less out of place than Xiao Yuan.

Li Zhuiyuan left his seat and walked towards Tan Yunlong. The two left here together and walked along the corridor.

"Xiao Yuan, I didn't know Little Zhou would arrange you here."

"It's okay, Uncle Tan, being here helped me figure out some things."

He also relied on the child's perspective to find that kind of feeling and correspond to the acrobatics troupe.

The two came to the outdoor area at the end of the corridor. Occasionally someone passed by. When they saw this big and small person, they would never have thought that they were discussing the case.

"Wang Chaonan admitted to the criminal fact of killing Tang Qiuying and burying the corpse, but he refused to admit to the child trafficking, and insisted that 'Yongyong' is his biological son.

As for his wife, her spirit should have some problems, and I suspect that buying the child was done by Wang Chaonan himself. She doesn't know who the trafficker is and who she is in contact with."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If I had known, I shouldn't have sent Wang Chaonan to the police station so early."

"Cough cough..." Tan Yunlong couldn't help but cough twice, changing the subject, "Xiao Yuan, I have already asked my colleagues to investigate and verify the information you gave me, and also notified the comrades in those few regions. Later, we will fax Beibei's name, photo, and some details together. Oh, by the way, our colleagues checked the child's back and found a birthmark, which can better help him find his biological parents."

At this moment, a police officer ran over and said: "Tan Ge, someone from the same village as Wang Chaonan came to the bureau to explain the situation voluntarily, saying that Wang Chaonan asked him last night if he wanted a son. If he wanted a son, he should prepare money first and take him to Tong'an Town the day after tomorrow to buy a son."

"Did that person say who the contact person is?" "He doesn't know, he only contacted Wang Chaonan. He learned that Wang Chaonan was caught for murder, so he ran over to explain the situation to clear his relationship."

"Have you notified the comrades of the police station over there?"

"Notified, but Tan Ge, you might not know, there is an industrial park in Tong'an Town, and there are many permanent residents there. Without a definite target, our police force might not be enough even if we scatter it all, and even if the human trafficker is there, seeing our posture, I'm afraid they won't dare to trade."

Tan Yunlong gritted his teeth: "Still have to pry open Wang Chaonan's mouth, this beast."

"Uncle Tan, then you continue the interrogation, I will go back to school first."

"Hmm?" Tan Yunlong looked at the boy, hesitated, but still said, "Okay, I'll send you to the police station entrance to take a taxi first."

"Okay."

"Tan Ge, I'll drive to send the child, which boarding primary school is it?"

"Do you have your own car?"

"I... I can ride a bicycle, hehe."

"No need, go make a statement for that person first."

"Okay, Tan Ge."

Tan Yunlong and Li Zhuiyuan walked to the police station entrance.

"Xiao Yuan, did you discover something?"

"Yes."

Wang Chaonan yesterday, the day after tomorrow took a fellow villager to buy a son, that is to say, the day after tomorrow is the trading time.

No matter how many people there are in Tong'an Town, it is very simple to find an acrobatics troupe that needs to build a shed in an open space, if there really is one.

Calculating the time, Beibei should have been abducted for half a year. This period of time is enough for an acrobatics troupe to go out and return to the Jin Ling area to perform.

"Xiao Yuan, you have no words next?"

"Uncle Tan, I won't hide it from you, I need to investigate and confirm it myself first. After confirming, I will report it to the police."

Tan Yunlong pursed his lips: "Uncle can accompany you to investigate together."

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Then at least let Binbin accompany you."

"That goes without saying."

Tan Yunlong stopped a taxi and said the school name, then paid the taxi fare in advance.

After the car drove away, Tan Yunlong looked at the back of the car and sighed.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting in the car, looked at the street scene outside the car window. He didn't tell Tan Yunlong about the acrobatics troupe directly because he didn't want the police to startle the snake.

Honestly, he believes in the ability of the police uncles, but Yu Guang is not one person.

Now his advantage lies in the fact that he took the initiative to choose the question, and he also "probed" the existence of the other party in advance.

That is to say, he has the opportunity to strike first.

This is a big advantage, and it is also the meaning of self-selected questions.

If Yu Guang is disturbed and runs away, letting her leave the acrobatics troupe is equivalent to him losing the other party's vision.

And since the river water pushed her towards him, she will come to him no matter what, and the two are destined to become each other's disaster.

Therefore, if he loses the other party's existence position, it means that he will deal with the other party's sudden appearance at any time in the next period of time.

Returning to school and walking into the dormitory, Li Zhuiyuan first pushed open the door of Lu Yi's dormitory.

Lu Yi is in the shop, and there are Tan Wenbin and Lin Shu You in the dormitory.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, where did you go?"

"Went out with your dad."

"Oh, no wonder you didn't take me."

"Brother Binbin, is your body recovered now?"

"It was cold all the time at noon, but now there's no problem. Sausages are really good for nourishing qi and blood."

"That's good. Come out with me to discuss. Something heaven-defying and conscience-losing is going to happen the day after tomorrow. We must spare no cost to stop it."

Tan Wenbin was stunned for a moment. After all, when did Brother Xiao Yuan like to add so many adjectives when speaking?

But immediately, Binbin understood, and immediately changed to a compassionate tone and said:

"That's what we should do. For the righteous path, spare no cost."

"Hmm." Li Zhuiyuan turned and left the dormitory.

Lin Shu You reached out and grabbed Tan Wenbin's hand, anxiously saying: "What is going to happen?"

"A You, this has nothing to do with you. It's the responsibility of us corpse-salvagers."

"Then isn't it the responsibility of the official generals?"

"You still have injuries on your body."

"My injuries are almost healed. If it weren't for you, Big Brother, wanting to continue asking for leave slips from the instructor through me, I would have gone back to participate in military training long ago."

"A You..."

"Big Brother, wait until Brother Xiao Yuan tells you, then secretly tell me."

Tan Wenbin pretended to be very embarrassed and nodded: "Okay, alright."

Li Zhuiyuan was waiting for Tan Wenbin to come out in the corridor. The two didn't return to their dormitory, but went downstairs.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, A You is settled."

"Hmm, I might have found Yu Guang. The day after tomorrow, Tong'an Town, acrobatics troupe."

"Then Runsheng and Yin Meng might not be able to catch up. Phew, fortunately, Brother Xiao Yuan, you spared A You's life at the beginning, which gave him the opportunity to defend the righteous path again and be infinitely glorious."

Immediately, Tan Wenbin's voice was a bit lower:

"Otherwise, there would only be me left by your side, and I, am useless."

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly stopped his steps and frowned, his expression a bit painful.

Tan Wenbin was startled, hurriedly asked: "Brother Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Binbin, don't say such things in front of me in the future."

"Yes, I understand. I won't show negativity in front of you, Brother, in the future. I was wrong, I was wrong."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "No."

"Ah?"

"It's that comforting you from the heart makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Tan Wenbin was stunned.

"I don't want to be like I just treated Lin Shu You, lying to you to make you happy and let you go die for me."

"Brother Xiao Yuan... I understand, I really understand."

Li Zhuiyuan continued to take steps.

Behind, Tan Wenbin's whole face blossomed with a smile, then he leaned back, put his hands on his hips, and walked out in an eight-character step, following him.

Li Zhuiyuan originally brought a bit of hope to see Runsheng and Yin Meng.

As a result, once he came, he saw Runsheng lying on the ground with more air going out than coming in, red gullies all over his body. This was the flesh and skin all cracking open.

Qin Shu was there clenching his fists.

Runsheng, who still had sixteen coffin nails on his body, was already inconvenient to move and painful to exert force. In this state, he was beaten up by Qin Shu.

It seems that Qin Shu's teaching intensity is still far from reaching the peak.

He also knew that this was the only teaching opportunity, so he grasped the time extra tightly and would spare no means.

Qin Shu: "Runsheng, eat an extra basin for dinner. Before going to bed tonight, I have to beat your flesh and skin until they crack open again."

Runsheng: "Okay..."

Qin Shu looked at the boy who walked in: "Xiao Yuan, I am loosening Runsheng's flesh and skin."

"I see it, Qin Shu, thank you for your hard work."

It is estimated that during these days of special training, Runsheng will be in a state similar to near death, so even if the special training is called off now, and Runsheng is only given one day to recover, he will still have to be carried on a stretcher to the acrobatics troupe the day after tomorrow.

"Xiao Yuan... you're here..." Liu Yi stood at the door, one hand supporting the door frame and the other hand covering her forehead, "What do you want to eat tonight... I'll make it for you..."

Liu Yi was not only hoarse, but also looked like she was seriously ill with a fever.

There is no need to go to the old building to see Yin Meng's state. Even if she is still alive now, it might not be as good as being dead.

"Liu Yi, no need to cook. Go to the restaurant and pack the dishes back."

"Old lady... doesn't like... food from outside..."

"It's okay, I'll go pack it, the old lady won't blame me."

"Okay... you're right..."

"Liu Yi, go take a rest."

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin, and then walked out with him.

Arriving at Old Sichuan, because it was meal time, the business was very hot.

Tan Wenbin went in and greeted the boss in the back kitchen, signaling to cut the line and make theirs first, and pack it to take away.

While the boss nodded and agreed, he said it was hot on the first floor, and asked them to go upstairs to find an empty private room to blow the electric fan, and then come down to take it away after the dishes were packed.

In the middle of summer, this place is mainly grilled fish and charcoal fire, so it is indeed hot.

Li Zhuiyuan went upstairs with Tan Wenbin, found an empty private room, went in, turned on the ceiling fan, and sat inside blowing the wind.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, do you want to drink something, soy milk?"

"Okay."

"You wait, I'll go get it for you."

After Tan Wenbin took the drink and walked in, when he opened the bottle cap, an old man's angry voice suddenly came from the next private room:

"Shi Yuqing, are you crazy?"

"Shi Yuqing" these three words were roared out, but soon, the old man deliberately lowered his voice for the words that followed.

But the private room was not soundproof to begin with, and Li Zhuiyuan's hearing was extremely sensitive, so it still fell clearly into his ears.

"I see Runsheng needs to be nourished more, should I tell the boss to add..."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand.

Tan Wenbin immediately shut up.

Li Zhuiyuan remembered the name "Shi Yuqing." That day when he was walking the river, it happened to rain heavily with thunder, and the thunder and lightning broke the electrical appliances in the family courtyard area.

After the rain, the old professor's wife next door scolded the sky, saying that God didn't have eyes, breaking their color TV but not striking Shi Yuqing to death.

From the muttering of the neighbor opposite, he learned that Shi Yuqing was a student of the old professor when he was young, and now she is divorced.

It seems that the intuition of the old professor's wife next door was really right. The old man really has a special relationship with this former female student. Otherwise, the two wouldn't be alone in a small private room in a restaurant like this, knowing there was gossip.

In the conversation that followed, both of them lowered their voices, and Li Zhuiyuan had to lean towards the wall to hear clearly.

"I'm not crazy. I've already divorced for you, but why haven't you divorced yet?"

"I have no way either. You don't know how fierce the tigress in my house is."

"You're lying. She's just a village woman. How fierce can she be? I know, you don't want your children not to recognize you, right?"

"No, how could it be."

"Don't forget, I also gave birth to a son for you, although he was judged to my ex-husband after the divorce.

But as long as you marry me, I will file a custody lawsuit with him and take our son back."

"Yuqing..."

"Tell me, when will you divorce? I don't have the patience to wait any longer. If you continue to delay, I will make public the fact that you slept with me when I was in school, and let outsiders see what kind of person you, this respected old professor, former vice principal, really are."

"Yuqing, don't be impulsive. Besides, this kind of thing is voluntary, who can say clearly?"

"Heh, you want to deny it?"

"No, how could it be."

"You can deny me easily, but what about others? This matter, it has been spreading wildly in the school recently, and the police have come one after another."

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You don't understand, it's okay, I can remind you."

"Yuqing, I warn you not to talk nonsense."

"I talk nonsense, what are you afraid of?"

"I... I'm not afraid."

"Afraid that your precious Qiu Minmin will crawl up from the underworld to seek your life?"

Asking for monthly tickets again, dear ones, please work hard again to help our honest man hold the first place on the monthly ticket list for another day.
