She opened her mouth to say something, but Luo Zizhou stopped her first: "Some things are inconvenient to ask here, we have to go back to the Public Security Bureau, thank you Teacher Xu for accompanying us."

"It's not hard, it should be." Teacher Xu looked sincere.

Not long after the police received the news from Luo Zizhou, they dispatched a police car and waited outside the school gate.Luo Zizhou took Mr. Xu and Mu Jiahuan into the car, asking questions along the way.

"Does Teacher Xu know about Mu Jiahuan's parents?"

Teacher Xu pushed down his glasses: "Of course, Mu Jiahuan's father is a construction engineer, and his mother is an attending physician at the city hospital. Both of them are usually busy. Mu Jiahuan usually lives with his grandma."

Luo Zizhou glanced at Mu Jiahuan with his head bowed: "I heard from Shao Junjun that Mu Jiahuan's studies are average, and you teachers don't pay much attention to his studies?"

Teacher Xu blushed: "It's like this. As teachers, of course we hope that every student is well, but it also depends on the wishes of the students themselves and their parents. Mu Jiahuan's parents have greeted every teacher. They As long as Mu Jiahuan is happy and doesn’t make mistakes, it’s fine, and you don’t have to push him too hard in studies. This kid has a bad temper. I was criticized by me once before, and he even skipped class and jumped out of school..."

"That's because you wronged me!" Mu Jiahuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke out, and the vicious look in her eyes scared even Teacher Xu.

Children have a natural awe of their teachers, and Mu Jiahuan's performance just now shows that his awe is still there.The sudden confrontation was unbearable, and the anger and grievance broke through this awe.

Luo Zizhou turned to look at Mu Jiahuan: "Then tell me why she wronged you?"

Mu Jiahuan sniffed, then turned her head away: "You won't believe me anyway, why are you so hypocritical?"

"You still know how to 'pretend'. You are no longer a kid who can talk nonsense. Uncle is a policeman. As long as you are willing to be responsible for your every word, I will believe you."

Teacher Xu panicked: "Officer Luo, this kid..."

Luo Zizhou looked at her indifferently, and when his eyes met, Teacher Xu closed his mouth consciously, feeling a burst of fear in his heart.

Mu Jiahuan clenched his fist with his left hand, and pointed to the sky with his right hand like in the TV series: "I swear, I'm not lying."

"Then you can speak now."

In the teacher's eyes, it was probably just a trivial matter - Mu Jiahuan was reported by her classmates for cheating in an exam.

From the previous conversation, it is not difficult to know that Mu Jiahuan's academic performance is not very good, otherwise she would not sit with Shao Junjun at the back of the classroom, with the trash can as a companion.

In the first monthly exam of this semester, Mu Jiahuan's English scores improved by leaps and bounds, and she rushed to the forefront of the class, while other subjects were still at the bottom.Two students with good grades in the class approached Teacher Xu and said that during the exam, they saw Mu Jiahuan peeking at other people's test papers and writing cheat sheets on their arms.

Teacher Xu called Mu Jiahuan to the office, rolled up his sleeves, saw that there were traces of pen oil on his right wrist, and decided that he was cheating.Not only canceled his grades as zero points, but also asked him to do a self-criticism in front of the whole class, otherwise the parents would be invited.

However, in Mu Jiahuan's narration, he did not cheat at all.

The improvement in English performance is the result of his supplementary lessons during the winter vacation. Throughout the winter vacation, he taught the first two units of the English textbook with his family, which happened to be within the scope of the monthly exam.He learned these two units four or five times in 20 days, and he learned them again when he came to school. He knew which position was which word in the textbook with his eyes closed.

The content of the exam was small, and he finished it in half the time. When he was bored, he rolled up his sleeves and drew a watch on his arm. After he wiped it off, it was taken as evidence of his cheating.

"Teachers are like this. They only like students with good grades and only believe what they say. Poor students like me have long been given up!" At the end, Mu Jiahuan couldn't hide her sobs.

A child of this age has a strong self-esteem beyond the imagination of adults.

The word "respect" means respect before and fear behind.

When a teacher cannot distinguish right from wrong fairly and impartially, and only distinguishes students based on grades, he has given up the respect of the students.

The only sound left in the police car was Mu Jiahuan's sniffling. Teacher Xu sat beside him awkwardly, wanting to speak but didn't know what to say.

In front of students, she can use her prestige to suppress protests, and even get most of them to her side.Now facing the police, her defense will only appear pale.

When the car drove into the Public Security Bureau, Teacher Xu had goosebumps all over her body for no reason, and was startled by Luo Zizhou's voice reminding her to get off the car.

There is a feeling that the suspect has been tricked into the police base camp.

Mu Jiahuan's hair was messed up by Zhao Sisi as soon as he entered the door: "Poor child, you must be terrified, right? Eat a piece of chocolate and be happy."

Haihong, who had recovered her original appearance, stopped her: "Mu Jiahuan may not like the grilled octopus-flavored sea salt chocolate you made."

Hearing this name, everyone imitated what it would taste like in their minds, and then showed indescribable expressions.

Mu Jiahuan stared blankly at Zhao Sisi's outstretched palm for a while, and even after hearing Haihong's description, she accepted the chocolate obediently and politely: "Thank you, auntie, I will taste it well."

His family is not short of money, and he is not short of snacks, but few people will comfort him in this way.In his memory, his parents are always very busy and tired, and the instructions to him are always "Mom and Dad are already very tired, you have to be good, you have to be obedient, and you have to be sensible."

They treat Mu Jiahuan as an individual equal to them, tacitly he understands their busyness and exhaustion.

Mu Jiahuan sat in the bare conference room, facing the camera and recording pen, holding the roasted octopus-flavored sea salt chocolate in his hand, thinking that this place is quite good.

After gaining Mu Jiahuan's favor, other things will be much more convenient.

As the first and only "survivor" who almost disappeared and was brought back, Mu Jiahuan's cooperation is crucial.

"I just went to the toilet. Before I could take off my pants, I heard someone ask me if I wanted to play hide-and-seek together, and said that there were many children who were about my age, and we would become good friends. I When I looked up, oh, the wall inside the toilet is gone, there are a lot of people playing together, I thought I accidentally found the entrance to Happy Planet!"

Mu Jiahuan squeezed a bit, "Actually, I want to go, they look so happy. But I am in a hurry, I have to go to the toilet first! I just want to change the pit, and then I feel something pushing me Pulling it inside, they insisted that I play hide-and-seek with them... I just remember that I was struggling, and was later rescued by the police uncle and Shao Junjun."

It seems that the murderer did not choose the wrong target, but the wrong timing.

"Uncle policeman, what is that? Is it the painted wall in the story of Liao Zhai? Is there a goblin hiding inside, trying to suck my soul?" With a sense of security, Mu Jiahuan no longer feared in retrospect, and asked again and again.

Luo Zizhou didn't answer his question directly: "You are so young, can you understand Liaozhai?"

Mu Jiahuan wrinkled her nose, feeling that she was being underestimated: "I can understand it, and when I encounter a word I don't know, I will look it up in the electronic dictionary. I know a lot of words."

"It seems that we can't underestimate you," Luo Zizhou leaned forward, "Then you should recall carefully now, did you encounter any strange things before today?"

Mu Jiahuan pinched the chocolate and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

Instead, Haihong, who was lying outside the door and eavesdropping, poked his head in: "I know, I know, he recently made a pen pal, but it's a mystery, and the letters he writes are not allowed to be read by others!"

He said this in Shao Junjun's tone against Haihong's face, Mu Jiahuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Haihong intently.Haihong didn't care, he grinned at Mu Jiahuan and waved vigorously.

After being reminded by Haihong, Mu Jiahuan talked about his mysterious pen pal.

In order to exercise students' expressive and social skills, the school encourages everyone to write letters and make pen pals with each other. There are mailboxes downstairs in each teaching building, and each class leader is responsible for delivering and collecting them every day.

Mu Jiahuan had never had a pen pal before, but unexpectedly received a letter.

There are light pink flowers printed on the pure white letter paper, and it smells faintly fragrant. The handwriting is delicate and neat, and it can be seen that it was written by a girl.

Her pen name is Liancheng. There is also a character named Liancheng in Mu Jiahuan's favorite Liaozhai stories, and he immediately attracted attention.

Liancheng said that she and Mu Jiahuan are the same lonely people, hoping to confide in each other's troubles and give warmth.

As Liancheng said, only when you are in the same situation can you empathize with her. Mu Jiahuan feels that every word she says hits her heart, so how do you feel about it?The two kept exchanging letters, and basically received a letter in two or three days.

Since having Liancheng as a pen pal, Mu Jiahuan has been motivated to go to school, and her personality has become much more cheerful.Even if the teachers ignored him as before, he didn't care as much as before.

Soon, Liancheng mentioned in a letter that he had found more like-minded friends, and his daily life was very happy.

Mu Jiahuan was inexplicably unhappy, feeling a little disappointed that Liancheng might be forgotten if she had other friends.

Fortunately, Liancheng's letter arrived as scheduled, and she told Mu Jiahuan that she had found a way to make her parents and teachers value her - playing hide-and-seek.When parents and teachers can't find themselves, they will be anxious.

Mu Jiahuan replied curiously, where can they hide so that they can't find themselves?

Liancheng told him to wait for the opportunity and not to worry, someone will hide it for him.

Now that I think about it, the timing mentioned by Liancheng was probably the whirlpool—that is, when the painted wall that Mu Jiahuan mentioned appeared.At that time, if Mu Jiahuan hadn't happened to be in a hurry to urinate, with Liancheng's foreshadowing in front, he might not have refused.

The children disappeared, and they are now looking for them all over the world, isn't it just hide and seek.

The experience of other missing children may be similar to that of Mu Jiahuan, who played a game of hide and seek for the purpose of attracting attention.

Seeing Luo Zizhou bring Mu Jiahuan out, Haihong danced around them: "Am I awesome, praise me!"

"Yes yes yes, you are very good and powerful. Mom will reward you with a grilled octopus-flavored sea salt chocolate." Zhao Sisi slapped Haihong's head and suppressed it forcefully.

Mu Jiahuan's mother has also arrived and was talking with Teacher Xu, when she heard Haihong's voice, she came here.

Mu Jiahuan, who was smiling innocently and cutely at Zhao Sisi just now, saw her mother no longer smiling, and walked in front of her obediently, holding the chocolate that Zhao Sisi gave him: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. "

Mu Jiahuan's mother just nodded and passed him to thank everyone.

Seeing Mu Jiahuan standing aside aggrievedly, Zhao Sisi couldn't bear it: "Mrs. Mu, it seems that you haven't realized the problem yet."

"you are……"

Su Youfeng, who was always by his side, spoke first: "This is Mrs. Hai. Her son is cooperating with us. It was he who grabbed Mu Jiahuan and sent us a signal in time, so that your son survived."

As an expert in handling cases of missing children, he knows how to organize language to convince parents.

Mrs. Mu nodded and thanked Zhao Sisi again.

Zhao Sisi shook her head and took Haihong's hand: "Mrs. Mu, do you have time for a chat?" There are some things that are hard to say in front of so many people, and it was not her intention to keep Mrs. Mu from coming down.

Two mothers and two children entered the small unused meeting room, and someone brought four glasses of water in, and closed the door consciously when they went out.

Zhao Sisi stroked Mu Jiahuan's hair and asked him to sit between himself and Mrs. Mu.

"Mrs. Mu, do you know about the recent case of a large missing child in the six coastal provinces?"

Facing the question, Mrs. Mu acted as if she was sitting at a negotiating table: "I know, I have asked the nanny at home and the teachers at school to pay more attention."

"However, your son almost disappeared at school today." Zhao Sisi took a sip of water. "You look young, and it's time to start your career. But we parents are always responsible for our children. We give birth to children." We have to take on the responsibility of raising them. If we don’t care about them ourselves, how dare we think that others can take care of them?”

Mrs. Mu pinched the corners of her eyes wearily. It's not that she doesn't want to balance family and work, but she can't balance at all.

"I've tried my best to find a way to meet his needs. I really can't get away from work, and I'm also lacking skills."

You have to work hard for your own career, and your children can be entrusted to others temporarily. If you hand over the work, it will be difficult to get it back.

Zhao Sisi sighed: "If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you lose your job, you can find it again. If you are absent from your child's life, you can never get it back. I think you should discuss it with the child's father and spend more time with the child. It can be seen that Mu Jiahuan is a good boy, but he lacks your care and guidance."

Mrs. Mu clasped her hands on the table, her eyes fell on Mu Jiahuan's head, thoughtful.

Zhao Sisi felt that the mother and son should also talk, so she got up and prepared to take Haihong out.

"Don't let the child feel that his parents are the most familiar strangers, and don't put him in danger again. I was absent from the entire growth process of my eldest son. Although it was a last resort, I still regret it now."

With the "click" of the door lock, there are two worlds inside and outside the door.

Haihong took Zhao Sisi's hand and looked up at her: "Brother is not yet an adult, mom, you are not too late."

"You can't let your brother know that you said outside that he is underage and that he will be spanked." Zhao Sisi covered his youngest son's mouth.

These emotional negotiations were handed over to Su Youfeng and others and Zhao Sisi who was idle and idle. Luo Zizhou's sword not only drove back the murderer, but also left the murderer's breath on the sword.

The Donghuang Sword was psychic, shrinking to the size of a palm in Luo Zizhou's hand, and then flew out, followed by Luo Zizhou.

Xin Zhu raised his head inadvertently, and saw two streamers of light flying back and forth above his head.He told the others to continue squatting, and he jumped into the third streamer.

Following the murderer's aura, the Donghuang Sword went straight to the hilly area and pierced into the rocks. The sword energy vibrated, and the whole mountain seemed to tremble.

Luo Zizhou drew his sword on the ground, looked around, and found that he happened to land at the entrance of a canyon.He wasn't sure if those children were inside, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Just as Luo Zizhou stepped into the canyon, Xin Zhu chased after him: "Wait!"

Luo Zizhou withdrew his stepped foot: "Why, is there something different here?"

Xin Zhu covered his mouth and nose: "It stinks, can't you smell it?"

"I can smell it, no matter how stinky it is, I have to go in." Luo Zizhou replied blankly.

"It's stinky and stinky. It's definitely not a little monster who can smell this way. I'll go in with you." He said and took out a red branch.Unlike ordinary branches, it is not only crystal clear, but also exudes a fragrance, dispelling the foul smell around them.

The canyon is invisible, the vegetation is green, and there is no place to walk.

The Donghuang Sword trembled in Luo Zizhou's hand, as if it was about to be released at any moment, leading them to the depths of the canyon.

"Here is a child's hairpin!" Xin Zhu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the pink rhinestone star hairpin hidden under the half-meter-high weeds from a distance.

He trotted two steps forward to pick up the hairpin, stood up and heard a nervous voice.

"The hide-and-seek has begun. The children have already hidden them. Go find them. There will be surprises when you find them."

Just listening to this voice gave people goosebumps, and the maliciousness in the tone was undisguised. The so-called surprise might not be a good thing.

They became more concerned about the safety of the missing children.

There is a large space in the middle of the canyon, and traces of children's activities can be found not far away.Some marks seem to be beyond the reach of ordinary children, such as leaving paw prints on stones.

This reminded them of the reformed man in the Jincheng serial murder case, and of the biological experiment base hidden in the industrial cluster.

Perhaps these children have also encountered similar things. Even if they are rescued alive, can they return to their original life track?

During the search, Luo Zizhou found a hole behind the boulder, which was so dark that no light could be seen.

The palm was pressed against the boulder, and the spiritual power was concentrated in the palm, and the boulder was torn apart under one blow, completely exposing the hole hidden behind.

Xin Zhu rushed over when he heard the movement, and the two stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in.

While the entrance of the cave is extending inward, it is also going downward, with twists and turns, and the line of sight is completely blocked by the stone wall before it can be seen far.To find out what's inside, you can only go in and look.
