I don't want to solve the case when I'm a little policeman.

Xu Zheng did not discuss the case with Mr. Yan first because he had not read the specific files.

After sending Li Mingsheng away, he took Zhuqing and Pei Tianshi to watch the "2026.7.12" case files together.

2026年7月12日晚9点10分，在京城与津市交接的地方，当地派出所接到110指挥中心的电话。

In Gaozhuang Village, their jurisdiction, someone called the police and reported that their child was missing.

Because it was raining heavily at that time, four police officers were dispatched on duty.

We arrived at Gaoshan Village in ten minutes.

Although Gaoshan Village belongs to the capital city, it is similar to rural areas in other parts of the country. The whole village is not big.

The camera installed by the villagers in front of their door failed to capture any effective clues in the heavy rain and darkness.

The police rushed to the scene and met the reporter in the heavy rain, Gao Yuhang, who had just returned from driving today with his two-year-old son.

The car stopped in front of his house. Because there was no umbrella in the car, he was afraid of getting his son wet, so he didn't let his wife come out to pick him up. He thought of going home in the rain to get an umbrella.

As a result, he came in and out, and the whole process took less than three minutes. When he came back, his son who was sitting in the rear safety seat was missing.

According to his own statement, even if his son could unlock the safety seat, he could not open the car door. However, when he came back, the car door was clearly locked, but the child was not found.

Gao Yuhang mobilized his family and the entire village to search the entire village but still found no results, so he called 110.

After the local police station arrived at the scene, they took it very seriously and reported it to each level, who immediately contacted the police at all levels within a hundred miles of Gaoshan Village.

Including the police in Jin Shibao area.

Cards were set up to intercept all passing pedestrians and vehicles, but Gao Yuhang's child disappeared. The police ended the large-scale investigation after searching for a period of time.

And this case became unsolved.

Gao Yuhang has also become a new family seeker...

After Xu Zheng read this case, he looked through another concurrent case and found that the two missing children were in similar situations.

It was a rainy night, the crime took place between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, there were no cameras nearby or it was not captured, the children were only over two years old, and no fingerprints were left...

The only thing that helped the case was that in the second case, a passerby saw a man wearing a raincoat and carrying what looked like a fertilizer bag more than ten kilometers away from the crime scene.

Other than that, there are no clues at all.

Ten years of anti-trafficking operations have failed to find this suspicious person and the two children.

Xu Zheng turned to the last page. There were many conjectures written by the investigators who handled the case.

Unfortunately, they all proved to be useless.

However, Xu Zheng shared one point of view with them, that is, the two children were probably gone.

Therefore, the police's efforts to combat trafficking and Gao Yuhang's search for relatives seem to be in vain.

But the reality is that they know it is impossible, but they are still holding on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to find the lost child.

Xu Zheng put down the file, took a deep breath, put away his sympathy, and looked at Mr. Yan who was sitting aside with a cup of tea.

This old man's retirement life can obviously be very good, but what people didn't expect is that he is willing to stay in this remote archives.

It lasted ten years.

Even though he is approaching the age of 10, he still does not change his original intention.

Xu Zheng admired the old man very much in his heart. If it were him, he really wouldn't dare say that he would choose to go into the archives after retirement.

"Mr. Yan, you just said that you have new ideas about this case, can you tell me about it?"

The white-haired Mr. Yan immediately became energetic when he heard the words, and a hint of wisdom flashed through his slightly cloudy eyes, "Then I, old man, will throw some light on the matter and see if I can give you some inspiration.

In this case, we have already obtained the whereabouts of the human trafficker, the suspected suspect, and the child.

Over the years, everything that can be checked has been checked. I thought your mine clearance operations would be fruitful.

But looking at it now, even if the domestic Sky Eye system is fully upgraded, it may not be possible to find suspects and children.

So I was thinking, please come over and help make mock portraits of the two children and the suspect.

Maybe this is a clue. "

When Xu Zheng heard this, he realized that the old man was at the end of his rope. There were many experts and professors who could do simulation portraits.

There must have been experiments in this area before.

However, he did not refuse, "These are not problems, but Mr. Yan, you should also know that this investigation route may not be effective."

Xu Zheng originally thought that the old man would be angry when he said this, but he didn't expect Mr. Yan to sigh and spread his hands in frustration, "When manpower is finally exhausted, look at the iron boxes filling the archives room.

Even if there are ten me or a hundred me, it still can’t be broken. "

Xu Zheng didn't expect that the old man was more fragile than he looked, so he explained: "Look at what you said, where are you now? You have been a policeman all your life. Do you know that some cases don't require any effort at all? It's just luck and it takes just a sip of water." It’s broken.”

"Haha..." Mr. Yan cheered up, pointed at Xu Zheng and laughed: "You are right. It seems that the luck of this case depends on you."

Zhu Qing was on the side giving support to his team leader, "What you old man said will definitely come true. Our team leader Xu has come along all the way.

Ability and luck go hand in hand. "

Xu Zheng waved his hand and told the truth, "What ability? I'm just lucky."

Seeing that Xu Zheng was very humble and not a rigid face-saving person, Mr. Yan already recognized this young man in his heart.

But recognition is recognition. Over the years, he has fallen in love with many young people, but in the end, this case has not been solved.

So, he changed the topic, put away the smile on his face, stared into Xu Zheng's eyes, and asked seriously, "Xiao Xu, if this case goes according to your idea, what should be the first step?"

Xu Zheng knew that Mr. Yan was testing his ability. He was thinking about this issue when he was reading the file just now.

At this time, he had not sorted out all the details of the case, and he did not hide it, "I think so. If I were the person in charge of this case, the first step would be to go to the scene where the child disappeared.

If there are no clues, then check the interpersonal relationship of the suspect, the human trafficker Liang Huan. "

Mr. Yan frowned, there was nothing surprising about Xu Zheng’s arrangement, it was considered to be steady and steady, “It’s right for you to go and see the situation on site, but ten years have passed and many places have changed.

However, in the file, there are videos taken that year that you can use as a reference.

As for Liang Huan, the human trafficker, and his interpersonal relationships, over the years we have been able to contact him either when he was in prison, or when he was married and had children in his hometown, or married...

It’s hard to check! "

Xu Zheng naturally knew that it would be difficult to investigate. If this case was easy, why bother looking for him, "Mr. Yan, don't think too highly of me.

I just said that I relied on luck to solve crimes in the past, which was actually not a lie. "

Having a system is a huge blessing. Solving a case with the help of the system does not rely on luck.

But when he told the truth, Mr. Yan and the others only thought he was being modest.

"Xiao Xu, without further ado, let's leave now and come back early. How about it?" Mr. Yan looked at his watch. It read ten minutes past ten in the morning.

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows. He only had three days off this time. Today he wanted to go home early to accompany Sister Xiaorui to the capital.

But seeing Yan Lao's Qiuzhen eyes, he didn't dare to delay any further, "Then let's set off now?"

Soon the group drove all the way east and arrived at their destination after walking for more than an hour.

Fortunately, Gao Yuhang, the father of the missing child, happened to be at home today.

Seeing Mr. Yan coming to the door, he and his wife immediately enthusiastically invited Xu Zheng and his party into their home.

On the way here, Xu Zheng also heard Mr. Yan talk about Gao Yuhang's stories over the past ten years.

Thanks to the popularity of Douyin's family search ten years ago, Gao Yuhang quit his job and officially joined the family search team with donations from family search volunteers. After traveling around for ten years, he could not find his own child, but he also helped many people looking for relatives find their biological children.

Nowadays, he is also a well-known figure in the family search industry, and his Douyin fans are not less than 2 million.

You can earn hundreds of thousands by selling goods through a live broadcast.

Looking at it this way, it can be considered a blessing in disguise for him to have found the career he has been working for his whole life.

It’s just that Xu Zheng is a little worried. If the country really achieves a world free of abductions, what will happen to those Internet celebrities who are looking for relatives?

Let’s talk about his family. After the child disappeared, his wife suffered from depression. For so many years, relying on the help of his parents and father-in-law, the small family was barely able to survive.

Three years ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter, which was a link to reconnect the family that was about to be broken up.

In fact, Gao Yuhang and his family were advised more than once by investigators handling the case that it was unnecessary to go out to look for relatives.

The implication is that even if his child was abducted, it looks like he is in danger.

But finding the child is Gao Yuhang's belief. Maybe he has to see the person alive and the body after death to make this tough man accept the fact.

Walking into Gao Yuhang's home, it is a three-story rural villa, but the decoration and furnishings have already aged at a glance.

The owner's house has not been maintained very well. The corners of the walls are peeling and the cracks in the walls have not been repaired.

Gao Yuhang's wife heard the commotion and came out with her daughter in her arms. Maybe she had given birth to a new child. Her depression was almost healed.

He warmly invited Xu Zheng and his party to sit on the sofa.

As soon as he sat down and before taking a sip of water, Gao Yuhang couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Yan, do you have any good news this time?"

Mr. Yan smiled, shook his head slightly, and pointed at Xu Zheng, "Ashamed, it's not that the case has made any major progress since I came here this time.

But...

Let me introduce it to you.

This young policeman's surname is Xu. Despite his youth, he is a rare talent in criminal investigation.

No, he is now taking over this case, so I brought him here to get to know you. "

Gao Yuhang has traveled extensively in the past ten years and met all kinds of people. He has long since learned not to judge heroes based on their age. He looked at Xu Zheng seriously this time, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

He grabbed Xu Zheng's hands and said in surprise: "Are you Chang Ming's Officer Xu?

The one who is great at doing simulation portraits? "

Xu Zheng did not expect that his reputation would be so famous in the anti-trafficking circle. He had previously personally helped several Internet celebrities find their children.

But later he disappeared behind the scenes, and the online news about him simulating portraits was deleted at the instruction of the provincial department leaders.

Now that he was recognized, Xu Zheng did not pretend to be a hidden boss, and confessed: "I am Xu Zheng, and I do know some techniques for simulating portraits..."

"Xu... police officer!"

Suddenly a surprise sounded in everyone's ears.

Xu Zheng looked back and saw that it was Gao Yuhang's wife who was looking at him expectantly.

"Officer Xu, I have often heard my boss talk about you, saying that you have helped many people find their relatives and children.

Would you be kind and compassionate and help us find the great treasure? "

Xu Zheng saw that she was too excited, and the daughter in her arms shrank into her arms in fear, and quickly comforted her: "Sister, please don't be so excited, don't scare the child.

You listen to me...

Mr. Yan and I came to your house to investigate for clues.

Now that this case is in my hands, I will definitely do my best. "

It was not an easy task to persuade a pair of parents who had lost their son. In the end, Xu Zheng and Yan Lao took turns, and they were able to calmly talk about what happened that year.

Under Gao Yuhang's narration, everyone followed him to the door, "Look at my BYD Seal, which has been parked here for ten years...

I...when we saw it, we thought of my son who was stolen..."

Xu Zheng saw with his own eyes that a seven-foot-tall man burst into tears when he was sad, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

But he still abandoned his sympathy and empathy, and instead asked: "Mr. Gao, I remember what you told the police handling the case back then.

It rained heavily that night, and you were worried that your child would get wet, so you ran into your house to get an umbrella.

It doesn't take more than three minutes, right? "

"That's right!" Gao Yuhang insisted and explained, "I just had my first child back then, and I was very pampered. I knew that he would be afraid of crying if I left the car for a long time.

So I will go and come back quickly.

Unexpectedly, I was only delayed for more than two minutes before my son was stolen by that crazy trafficker. "

Xu Zheng ignored Gao Yuhang's indignation and looked at the road in front of Gao's house, "There were no cameras in front of your house at that time.

But the front and rear driving recorders in the car did not find anyone coming.

Therefore, the person who stole your son at that time should be familiar with the environment near your home.

I also know the location of your seal car’s camera.

Then let me ask you again, are you sure you don’t know that Liang Huan at all? "

As soon as Liang Huan was mentioned, Gao Yuhang's fierceness was revealed. Xia Tian's clothes could not cover his whole body, and some scars left by farm tools could be seen on his waist.

It seems that his journey to find his son was also very bumpy.

"Officer Xu, I really don't know that bastard, including my friends and people I don't deal with. I've asked around, but no one knows him..."

This was expected by Xu Zheng. According to Liang Huan's file information, he was still an addict.

The general view of the investigators who handled the case before was that Liang Huan was suffering from drug addiction and had no money on him. He happened to be passing by and abducted the child when he heard the child crying.

It was also raining heavily at that time, which covered the camera and many traces.

"This road in front of your door, which direction were you chasing?"

Gao Yuhang pointed to the east, "I came back from the west, and I didn't see anyone along the way, so I searched at home and in the car that day, but there was no one there.

He immediately went east to look for it.

Unfortunately, I ran five miles east and didn't see a single person or passing car. "

Xu Zheng looked east in the direction he pointed. Ten miles further east was the Jinshibao area. Generally speaking, police officers dispatched from the police station would not go out of the province or city to handle cases.

However, units at all levels take the missing child very seriously, so they notified the Bao area police at that time.

Mr. Yan looked at Xu Zheng looking eastward with a thoughtful look on his face, and he added: "Ten years ago, at the junction of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, there was a huge economic gap compared with the city.

So the cameras here are not too dense.

Including the cameras installed on provincial and municipal national highways, there are fewer cameras than in the city. "

Xu Zheng understood the implication. Ten years ago, cameras near the crime scene could not provide clues.

But if he wanted to escape Gaozhuang Village with his children in a short time, the trafficker Liang Huan would have to drive.

Then the problem is coming.

Which direction was he going at that time?
