Abyss Express

The reception room was smoky, and the security guard specially gave way to Mr. Ye Bei, and brought fruit plate snacks and tea soup.

Ye Bei immediately waved his hand and took out two cans of Wangyou tea from his bag.

"I have I have."

As soon as Su Xingchen sat down, he took out his mobile phone and questioned the uncle who was looking for the child like a prisoner.

"Name."

Uncle replied nervously: "Jiang Zhengchu."

Su Xingchen: "Age."

Uncle Zhengchu: "Fifty Nine"

Su Xingchen: "Native place."

Uncle Zhengchu: "Shandong ZB, I'm from Zhoucun."

Su Xingchen: "Do you have brothers and sisters?"

Uncle Zhengchu: "I am of the Zhengzi generation. My two elder brothers are Zhengguo and Zhengwei, and my three younger sisters are Zhenghua, Zhengmei, and Zhengfang. I am the third among the six sisters."

Ye Bei couldn't listen anymore.

"Brother! You've got the taste! They're here to find the child, not the father."

Su Xingchen shrugged his shoulders, with a look of "you do what you want".

Xueming pushed the snack box in front of Uncle Zhengchu, and then asked.

"Uncle, can you tell me in detail what the child looks like, how old he was lost, where the baby was lost, where he has been to these years, can anyone help you?"

At the beginning, Uncle dug out a thick leather book from the bag. The outer skin had been curled up, and many pieces of leather had fallen off.

He licked his thumb, opened the book, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Take out a missing person notice from the pages of the book, with a photo of the little boy, his name, height, and the clothes he was wearing when he got lost.

"This is my son. He got lost when he was four years old. He was wearing a blue, red and white striped wool sweater with a Transformers jacket on it. I don't remember the brand of children's shoes. They were red. Denim Overalls."

Xue Ming: "Is there anything else? Try to be as detailed as possible. On what occasion did you get lost?"

Uncle Zhengchu: "After I was laid off from the steel factory, I quarreled with my wife. The mother of the child wanted to divorce me. She secretly took the child back to Pingxiang, Jiangxi. She slept on the train and the child disappeared."

Xueming: "Do you remember which station it is?"

"I don't remember." Uncle Zhengchu shook his head, his mood was very stable, "She just slept, and when she woke up, she had already reached the terminal, and it would be too late to look for it."

Except for Uncle Zhengchu, the other three were silent.

Like this kind of unresolved case, it may be difficult to find people. There are so many people and so many families in Greater China. The child that Uncle Zhengchu is looking for should be 22 years old this year. If he can be healthy When Kang grew up, he might have become someone else's son long ago, and had feelings for someone else.

"I have been running around on this railway. I begged many, many traffickers in the early years, and spent a lot of money. I gave them gifts and red envelopes. I wanted to know the whereabouts of the baby, but..."

Ye Bei interrupted: "You expect criminals to find out with conscience? Impossible."

Xueming added: "Only the law, handcuffs and bullets can make them obedient, serve their sentences and confess."

Su Xingchen sighed: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Uncle Zhengchu smiled, with a guilty conscience and embarrassment in his smile. These three young people were like three different flames. Their expressions were different, but their words were all aggressive. .

At the beginning, Uncle was just an ordinary person, without such a powerful voice and prestige, and without such a brave soul and mind.

He went on to explain: "I always have to try, the local police are very good, the people are very good, but they can't help me, I go to the human traffickers - I am very clever, these people take my money He Li, I must think that I am easy to deceive and bully. There will always be recordings left in my mobile phone. I have cooperated with the police many times, and every time I can catch a few people. It is a pity that it is very difficult to find these people , I have only done it a dozen times, and when the special campaign to eradicate gangsters and evil comes, it becomes more and more difficult to find them."

Ye Bei compared his thumbs: "Awesome."

Xueming didn't dare to think about it—this kind of experience of going to Longtan alone may not be encountered once in a lifetime for ordinary citizens, but Uncle Zhengchu has been running around for eighteen years, and these dozens of times of wits and courage with criminals seem to be the same. It's just a small thing not worth mentioning on the way to find relatives.

After a long time, Su Xingchen said: "Have you been looking for your son? Have you ever thought of giving up?"

When Uncle Zhengchu heard this discouraging question, he just smoked and didn't speak for a long time.

Su Xingchen immediately explained: "I don't want you to give up, Uncle, I didn't mean that—it's just that I think you should have a better life. I saw you alone, and I'm afraid that my aunt really left you later. You said that you have so many brothers and sisters, but they are not by your side. This road has paid too much and gained too little. I infer from your own experience, even if you are laid off, you go back to your hometown Find a job and continue to live with your wife, it should be much easier than it is now."

"Not this." Uncle Zhengchu frowned, and suddenly started waving his hands: "Not this. No, no, no, I came to ask you where my son is, not to listen to your lectures."

Xueming grabbed Su Xingchen's hand, and said in a cold tone, "He knows what he wants, Brother Xingchen."

Ye Bei grabbed Xingchen's other hand: "He knows, he knows. He knows it very well. He is fifty-nine years old, and the combined ages of both of us can make him call [good brother]—don't say it." These are useless, but useful at all."

Before Su Xingchen could change his words, the awkward atmosphere eased.

At the beginning, uncle talked about the experience along the way, the past along the way.

"Do you have hobbies, right? People have them, like learning music, playing games, playing motorcycles, or watching movies. There is so much time, you can do these things after get off work, right?"

Jiang Xueming: "Yes."

Uncle Zhengchu hurriedly explained: "Looking for a son is my hobby. I can find him while doing odd jobs. I can do it. I've done a good job. I've really done a good job."

When he rolled up his sleeves, his thick knuckles were exposed. His nails were clean and free from oily sludge. He often bathed and rubbed his hair. He took good care of his body, cleaning up all the iron powder and oil stains.

"You see, I used to work in the steel coil workshop in the factory. I would take good care of myself. Later, I made plans to develop diesel engines and help people repair tractors. Many human traffickers said that boys in rural areas like to take care of them. I need a tractor to transport goods, and I need a tractor to build my own building. I thought, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation of people’s livelihood. I start with this transportation, I can travel far and far, and I can take care of my hobbies. It should not be difficult to find my son.”

A bad cat jumped out of Ye Bei's chest, and it just sat by the table, lowered its head and pursed its eyes, listening quietly.

Uncle Zhengchu went on to say, "I met many people, and went to many places, different places."

He flipped through the yellowed paper and pointed to the names.

Starting from Shandong, to the railway station cities along the Jiangxi line.

Turning over page after page is a personal name and account.

There are countless people who have helped him, almost more than 1,300 names.

As small as a steamed bun, as large as a cash loan of several thousand yuan.

"There must be more good people than bad people." Uncle Zhengchu nodded vigorously: "I don't have anything, so I just help people with work in exchange for money, food and drink, and travel expenses. Strength is endless!"

Turning to the next page is the three-guarantee maintenance site for various diesel-powered tractors.

From Wuqiang Power Co., Ltd. in Hengyin City to Jiangxi Huanghe Machinery Manufacturing Factory.

He has worked as a maintenance man in forty-eight different diesel engine factories, and he has driven countless mountain roads and traveled between villages and cities in his reliable tractor.

"Don't worry about me." Uncle Zhengchu said with a smile: "My salary is very high, at most 12,000 yuan a month, and I have also repaired the diesel engine of the sand dredging ship. When I have money, I save it for my son to buy a house and a car - I do these jobs quickly and well. I was thinking, if he can't drive, I will be his driver, whoever can drive a tractor, drive a car They are all very powerful.”

Ye Bei: "Have you ever thought about reorganizing your family?"

"No need." Uncle Zhengchu understood what this kind-hearted man meant, and was just about to decline.

Ye Bei quickly explained: "I mean, there is someone to help you, and there are wives, children, relatives and friends to help you find it. There are many people and strength, and there will always be a way--Hengyin is well-connected, and there used to be a lot of people in Pingyang County. Regarding the abduction case, I have received guests like you, Uncle, who also came to find children. It is better to ask friends or relatives to inquire about it than to find a needle in a haystack alone."

"I've thought about it too." At this point, Uncle Zhengchu began to scratch his head: "After the divorce, there have been several times, and there are suitable partners who want to find me to live together. There are four or five before and after."

Su Xingchen's eyes widened: "Four or five?"

"Hey" Uncle Zhengchu pursed his lips in embarrassment: "They are all chasing after me, I can't stay - they are always running outside, and I don't always go home a few times throughout the year. I can't make them widows."

At this point, the story becomes more complicated and longer.

"The first one is the younger sister in the dry cleaning shop. She has a baby girl. Her husband gambled and ran away. It is very hard to raise the child by herself. I have been with her for half a year. At first, it was just a companionship. Later, she wanted more and more. The more people think that my heart is not at home, not only want money, but also my time, and ask me not to look for my son, so I separated from her."

At the beginning, Uncle finished smoking a cigarette and lit another one.

"The second one is in Guizhou. The eldest sister who works as a back kitchen knife worker is very lively. Her husband had someone outside and she cut off one of his hands. She paid a compensation of more than one hundred thousand. After she came out of prison, she couldn't find it. She said that I was good-looking, and that I had a kind of attachment that other men didn’t have. She wanted to reunite with me and give birth to a baby for me—but then I talked in my sleep at night. Missing my cub. She was so angry that she separated from me."

Ye Bei whispered to Xingchen: "This life experience is too bizarre."

Xing Chen and Ye Bei said indifferently: "It is precisely because of Uncle Zhengchu's persistence that he shaped this journey."

At the beginning, Uncle talked about other women.

"I was in Guangzhou. During my break from work, I traveled from Zengcheng to Pazhou to watch Jacky Cheung's concert. A girl in her twenties grabbed me and said that I was dressed like a model. At that time, I was forty. I'm four years old, I'm an old hat, how can I know what fashion is? I've been entangled with this little girl for half a month. I want her to be a good person. I should find a boy who is similar to her age, healthy and active. Where should I go? She followed, with a headache—she said that the people around her were so childish and not as pragmatic as me. I promised her to have a meal at the Taiping Pavilion on BJ Road, as a date, and tell her about this restaurant, that is The store that the great revolutionary leader visited. I told her that we should study for the rise of China and do things for the happiness of the people. After the date was over, I ran away with my luggage. Later, I thought it must have hurt the girl My heart, my heart has been uncomfortable for a long, long time."

Uncle is a typical northerner, with shoulders so wide that they can almost block the door, and he is about 1.85 meters tall.

Even at the age of fifty-nine, his demeanor is like that of an old bear.

"I followed the Jiangxi railway line to AH and then to Hangzhou. There was a female reporter. She was in her thirties in 2010. She was from Nantong. She was very interested in my story. She interviewed me. She made a lot of money from the stories we wrote together—she told me, how about we get married and find a son together. This way, her news can always make money and do good deeds. I was so happy at the time I found out later that she lied to me. When the newspaper published the December news, I couldn’t see the missing person notice, and she also found other materials. So I lost contact.”

These stories are in the notebook, just a few paragraphs.

"I went back to Hengyin to rent a house, and the landlady negotiated terms with me. She has more than 30 houses and can earn more than 40,000 yuan a month in rent. She wants me to be a second landlord. I’m running around outside, let’s talk about a certificate, I will collect rent in the future, and I will serve the tenant’s water and electricity property during the day to repair furniture and install light bulbs. The son was found. In the beginning, everyone was able to get along well. Later, her two sons graduated and went home to hang out. They didn’t get along well with me. There are fewer and fewer visits, and there is no way to go out. I don't want to have any conflicts with them. My son is back, and I guess there will be conflicts with their family, so I broke up with her."

Su Xingchen: "Bad Woman"

"No, she is a good woman, she knows everything." Uncle Zhengchu explained: "She knows everything, she has helped me many times, and also helped me find a son, and now occasionally sends me emails every month. The red envelope, asking me out for dinner, I dare not accept it, I am afraid that if I accept it, I will not be able to leave."

Ye Bei: "Is there anything else?"

Uncle Zhengchu was puzzled: "I have only experienced these feelings, there is nothing else."

Ye Bei: "No. I mean, are there any other clues?"

"Not only did I lose a son, but my wife probably also lost a daughter." Uncle Zhengchu frowned, and said to the three of them in detail: "When she divorced me, she was already pregnant for a long time. She usually She is very careful, she is a budget-conscious person. Before I was laid off, we agreed to divorce and live our own lives. She found a next family who was in the timber business. When she was 40 years old, she had to give birth to a baby for him. , to marry in with peace of mind. I quarreled with her because of this matter - the child in her belly is not mine. She and my son are two half-siblings."

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhengchu passed cigarettes to the two distinguished guests.

"At that time, she was pregnant and an elderly woman. She traded her life for a smooth life, and she was emotionally unstable. We had no relationship for a long time. We just talked about the separation of the family. She was angry and I was angry, so she ran out with her son. In the end, her son was lost, and she was so angry that she gave birth prematurely, and gave birth to a baby girl at the railway hospital in Pingxiang, but was also taken away, as if being targeted by human traffickers, and followed all the way."

Ye Bei: "What happened next?"

Uncle Zhengchu: "What's the matter? Later, she felt ashamed, and was so angry that she wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, her new husband is a good man, and she lived a good life with her. I have been looking for it and never stopped."

Su Xingchen: "Did you hear that?"

Ye Bei: "I heard it."

The two looked at Xueming together.

"Understand?"
