"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Zhao Xiangwan was awakened by a knock on the door.

There was silence and darkness everywhere.

The dormitory management of Xiang Provincial Public Security University is strict. The lights are turned off on time at 10 o'clock. After the lights are turned off, you can go to the girls' dormitory and knock on the door, either the girls in the same building or the school staff.

The knock on the door was soft and slight, with a hint of uneasiness. Although I was looking for someone urgently, I still restrained myself. It was obvious that the person who came was very well-educated.

Zhao Xiangwan, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, got up and got out of bed.

Opening the door, there stood a fat middle-aged woman under the dim light of the corridor, with messy short hair, a haggard expression, and tears on her cheeks.

"Teacher Zhou?"

The visitor is Teacher Zhou Qiaoxiu, the teaching secretary of the Criminal Investigation College and the head teacher of the 91st grade criminal investigation major. What is she doing here so late?

Teacher Zhou's voice alerted the other three girls in the dormitory. The Hunan Provincial Public Security University implements militarized management. The girls who had just entered school and had undergone a month of military training quickly got out of bed and stood neatly at the door, saluting and saying hello.

In October in Xingshi, the capital city of Hunan Province, the weather was still hot. The girls were wearing cotton pajamas with sleepy faces, and they were a little nervous when they saw the teacher.

"Teacher Zhou, what can I do for you?"

"Did something happen in class?"

"Is there an emergency notice?"

The girls asked all kinds of questions. Zhou Qiaoxiu pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she was so anxious that she had no other thoughts. She clenched her hands and said with trembling lips: "Zhao Xiangwan, I...

…I want you to help me!”

[My child, my baby is missing! I can’t sleep. When I close my eyes, the baby is crying. She is crying for her mother. 】

When Zhou Qiaoxiu's inner voice came to his mind, Zhao Xiangwan's expression became solemn.

The head teacher, Zhou Qiaoxiu, is a very gentle woman who cares deeply about the 38 students in the class. She usually speaks softly and softly, and is full of maternal nature. She must be very anxious when her child is lost.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes gradually moved up from Zhou Qiaoxiu's clasped hands and landed on the tears on her cheeks: "Teacher Zhou, what do you need me to do? Please tell me."

Zhao Xiangwan's voice was calm and steady, carrying a trustworthy power.

Zhou Qiaoxiu's trembling hands gradually calmed down. She lowered her head and looked at her watch, then looked left and right. Several incandescent lights were on in the long corridor, and all the dormitory doors were closed except for Dormitory 316 in front of her.

[It’s half past ten. I shouldn’t come to look for students so late. This is against school regulations. Because my own affairs affect students’ rest and disturb the children, what’s wrong with me! Why am I so uncool? Lao Xu is right,

After losing my baby, I lost my whole soul and couldn’t think about things normally at all.]

Zhou Qiaoxiu was constantly conducting self-examination in her heart, and she clearly knew that it was not appropriate to come to the student dormitory so late and wake the students from their sleep.

Zhao Xiangwan did not rush and waited quietly.

Zhou Qiaoxiu explained anxiously: "Zhao Xiangwan, I remember you once said at the orientation meeting that you applied for the Public Security University because you were interested in criminal investigation psychology. You also mentioned that people's facial expressions, gestures and language can betray them.

In your heart, isn’t it?”

Zhao Xiangwan nodded.

Zhou Qiaoxiu looked at her intently: "I would like to ask you to ask someone for me, can you?"

Zhao Xiangwan listened carefully to Zhou Qiaoxiu's inner thoughts.

[The baby was gone. Meimei cried hoarsely. The police questioned her, but she only cried and refused to say anything. Lao Xu said that Meimei was frightened. I shouldn’t force a ten-year-old child again. Lao Xu’s

Colleagues, the public security officers all sympathize with Meimei, but... I don’t believe her! I don’t believe her! What should I do, what should I do?]

Zhao Xiangwan has the ability to read minds. In order to express her special ability openly, she chose to apply for the criminal investigation major of the Public Security University. Under the guidance of a doctorate's book from M country, "Introduction to Human Kinesiology", she figured out how to identify lies and expressions.

, combined with small reactions of language and actions.

At the welcome party, Zhao Xiangwan stood out in the "I'll draw and you guess" game. He faced the challenge from the sophomores without fear. His eyes swept the audience, as if to say: No need to speak, I know what you are thinking.

.

Although she rarely speaks, her classmates all know that no one can lie in front of Zhao Xiangwan.

Teacher Zhou Qiaoxiu also knows about this outstanding ability, so he came to look for her tonight.

A mother who has lost her child, even if she is almost mentally broken, still maintains love and respect for her students, and carefully seeks her help. Seeing Zhou Qiaoxiu like this, Zhao Xiangwan said in a soft tone: "Teacher Zhou, don't worry, I will

Go there with you."

Zhang Yalan, who was staying in Zhao Xiangwan's bunkhouse, was a little worried and said to Zhao Xiangwan, "I'll go with you."

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Qiaoxiu and saw the embarrassment on her face. Knowing that she didn't want more people to know, he shook his head: "Teacher Zhou lives in the school, not far away. I can go there alone."

Zhou Qiaoxiu sighed in her heart that Zhao Xiangwan had a clear mind and said to the girls: "You all should go to sleep. I will send Zhao Xiangwan back after finishing the work."

[Teacher Zhou came here so late to take Zhao Xiangwan away, I still feel uneasy thinking about it. 】

【What is it that we, freshmen, need help with?】

[I heard that Teacher Zhou’s lover is the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If there is something that cannot be solved, Zhao Xiangwan must go there? 】

Hearing the students' inner murmurs, every word filled with concern and worry, Zhao Xiangwan felt the collective warmth and smiled at everyone: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

The peripheral light from the corridor shone on Zhao Xiangwan's face, and his deep and cold eyebrows were more soft and beautiful than usual.

There are four girls in dormitory 316, all of whom are freshmen majoring in criminal investigation this year. Zhao Xiangwan is the youngest, has a cold face and rarely speaks sarcastically. She usually keeps to herself and is not gregarious. Today, although her smile is shallow, she has drawn her classmates closer

relation.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to come back." As he spoke, Zhang Yalan stretched out his hand to climb onto Zhao Xiangwan's arm.

Zhao Xiangwan reacted quickly and retracted his arm to avoid Zhang Yalan's intimacy. He took a thin sweater from the bedside and put it on his body, followed Teacher Zhou and left the dormitory.

The campus is quiet, and I only hear the footsteps of two people walking on the cement road.

Under the cover of night, Zhou Qiaoxiu took a deep breath and said with a cry in her voice: "Zhao Xiangwan, teacher, I'm really sorry for bothering you today."

Zhao Xiangwan responded warmly: "Teacher Zhou, please tell me first."

Because of the anxiety in her heart, Zhou Qiaoxiu's words were not very logical and were a bit confusing. Zhao Xiangwan listened silently and slowly sorted out what happened.

Zhou Qiaoxiu and her lover Xu Songling have been married for many years and have no children. The two of them went to the hospital for examination and treatment. Seeing that their peers' children were all in high school, they adopted a five-year-old girl from the Xingshi Orphanage and named her Xu Zhenmei, nicknamed Meimei.

.

Meimei was already sensible when she was adopted, she was cute and well-behaved, and her parents called her very close. Zhou Qiaoxiu was full of motherly love and she cared for her to the core. She was well fed and clothed, and she wished she could have the best in the world.

Hold it in front of her to make up for the five years of loneliness when she was abandoned.

Meimei grew taller and shinier, and in a blink of an eye, when she was seven years old and went to elementary school, Zhou Qiaoxiu suddenly found out that she was pregnant, and she was so happy that she didn’t know what to do. Xu Songling hugged Meimei and circled around, saying that she was a lucky star and had brought younger brothers and sisters. Meimei

I also giggled and felt happy for my parents.

Every day after that, Meimei read storybooks to Zhou Qiaoxiu's belly, sang songs, and waited happily with her parents. Her daughter arrived as scheduled and was named Xu Zhenbao.

A daughter was born in middle age, and the couple treasured it like a treasure. Previously, Zhou Qiaoxiu was worried that taking care of her daughter would neglect Meimei. Unexpectedly, Meimei was a very qualified sister, and she accompanied her sister tenderly, without feeling aggrieved at all.

When she said this, Zhou Qiaoxiu became excited and spoke faster and faster: "I thought she was just a child. I thought she really wanted to be a good sister. Who would have thought that she would deliberately lose the baby!

But Lao Xu didn't believe me, he said that Meimei was just a child and she didn't mean it."

Xu Zhenbao is three years old this year and is still not used to it when he first goes to kindergarten. He cries every time he is sent to kindergarten. Today is a rare Sunday. Originally, the family of four planned to go to the nearby Benlong Park to play, but Xu Songling had a temporary police mission, so Zhou Qiaoxiu took him

Going out with two children.

The amusement facilities in Benlong Park are unique in Star City and are especially popular with children. They get crowded on weekends. The baby wants to ride on the rotating plane, so Zhou Qiaoxiu asked Mei Mei to wait aside with the baby while he queued up to buy the tickets.

.Ten minutes later, I bought the tickets, but when I turned around, I found that both children were gone.

Zhou Qiaoxiu was so frightened that she searched everywhere in the noisy crowd. Finally, Meimei found her, but the baby was lost.

The mother's heart seemed to be crushed. Zhou Qiaoxiu shed tears as she spoke: "The baby is only three years old and can't recognize the way home. Where do you think she can go? I told Meimei when I bought the ticket."

I couldn't let go of my sister's hand, so I just stayed where I was and didn't move. Who knew she would be gone in the blink of an eye!

Others said she was abducted by a kidnapper, and I called the police, but I don’t know why I always felt something was wrong with Meimei. She is already eleven years old and goes to school by herself. Why can’t she take her sister with her? The baby is very well-behaved.

She wouldn't have gone away if Meimei hadn't taken her with her."

Zhao Xiangwan interrupted her crying and asked calmly: "Have the police questioned Meimei? What did she say?"

"She said that she was fascinated by the rotating plane and didn't know when the baby let go of her hand. When she found out that the baby was missing, she panicked and forgot to tell me. She kept looking around for it. She kept crying, kept crying.

, there was not a single useful clue. Lao Xu blamed me for not shifting the responsibility to the child. Meimei is usually so kind to her sister, and she is more anxious than anyone else when her sister is lost, but..."

Zhou Qiaoxiu suddenly stopped, her eyes slightly dull.

[Am I crazy! After losing one child, am I going to lose another one? Meimei is lucky that she was not abducted by a kidnapper. Why do I, a mother, suspect that she lost the baby on purpose? She

How good are you to your baby? The first thing that comes to mind when you have delicious food and fun is your sister. She is more patient than me when playing with her. Yes, why would I doubt it? Is it because she is not my biological child?】

Zhao Xiangwan heard her inner struggle and didn't say much. It's too early to judge now. Whether Meimei did it intentionally or unintentionally will be known once he asks.

Zhou Qiaoxiu slowly came back to her senses and said to Zhao Xiangwan: "Today, Lao Xu led the police team to visit the inside and outside of Benlong Park, and also had people guarding the railway station and bus station. My heart

My heart felt like it was boiling in a frying pan, and I begged Meimei to think again, whether she had met any strange people, and whether she had paid attention to where the baby had gone, but she would only cry!"

Crying? Maybe out of guilt, maybe to escape, maybe to cover up the true emotions.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes flashed, and he pointed at a little girl in a floral skirt standing by the flower bed of the unit building and asked: "Is that Meimei?"

Without waiting for Zhou Qiaoxiu's answer, the little girl flew over like a butterfly, threw herself into Zhou Qiaoxiu's arms, and choked with sobs: "Mom, where have you been? I'm so scared!"
