After Ding Jiamin called her colleague to request for information, less than five minutes later, the other party called back and told her that Chen Ning did have a daughter named Chen Sisi, who was four years old this year.

Ding Jiamin perked up, and she just said, she had the impression that she saw this name written on the file.

Chen Ning is an addict who was sent to a drug rehabilitation center a few days ago. Ding Jiamin went to visit her and communicated with her.

Ding Jiamin quickly asked: "Chen Ning is in a drug rehabilitation center now, where is her daughter?"

A colleague said he didn't know about this. The file just said that the mother and daughter lived together.

After Ding Jiamin hung up the phone, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She immediately called the colleague who went to the police a few days ago and asked him where Chen Ning's daughter, Chen Sisi, was.

The other party was very surprised when she received Ding Jiamin's call, and even more confused as to why she was asking this.

However, he still told Ding Jiamin, saying that the little girl should have been taken away by her father or other relatives.

"Has Chen Ning told anything about her daughter?" Ding Jiamin asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Ding, what do you mean? Are you here to investigate?" The colleague on the other end of the phone sounded obviously unhappy.

Ding Jiamin said: "Captain Wu, you misunderstood. I'm not here to prosecute. I'm just concerned about the safety of Chen Ning's daughter. If she is dependent on Chen Ning, then now that Chen Ning has entered a drug rehabilitation center, where will Chen Sisi's child be? What the hell?

If you don't do it right, big trouble will happen."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Ding Jiamin continued: "Team Wu, has Chen Ning told you about her daughter? It may still be too late!"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he finally spoke, but his tone was a little frightened.

"When she first entered the drug rehabilitation center, she mentioned that her daughter was alone at home and wanted us to go and see her."

Ding Jiamin's heart sank and asked, "Have you guys gone to see it?"

"Have seen it! No one! No! The door is locked. We looked in the window and saw no one at home! Chen Sisi should have been taken away by her relatives a long time ago."

Ding Jiamin said: "I'm not worried. I want to go take a look. Please tell me the address of Chen Ning's home."

The colleague quickly gave an address there, and then said: "Xiao Ding, where are you now? Wait for me, I'll go too."

He was still worried, and Ding Jiamin's phone call made him panic to death.

Ding Jiamin said: "I'm at home and I'm going to Huangjia Village now."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately went out and went straight to Huangjia Village.

The car was temporarily parked at the entrance of Little Red Horse Academy. Seeing this, Lao Li came out and asked to stop. However, he saw Ding Jiamin getting out of the car in a hurry and asked: "What's wrong? You're nervous."

Ding Jiamin said: "Master Li, let me park the car here for a while. I go to the village to do something urgent."

Lao Li waved his hand: "Go quickly."

At this time, in front of the iron gate in the yard, Xiaobai's shout rang out: "Sister Xiaomin - sister Xiaomin! Take us with you. Are you looking for Chen Sisi? Take us with you!"

Ding Jiamin looked closely and saw Xiaobai and Xiaomi.

"Go back quickly." Ding Jiamin said.

Xiaobai quickly jumped up and said: "Sister Xiaomin - take us with you! We know which alley Chen Sisi's family lives in! It's so hard to find you!"

These words made Ding Jiamin's heart move. She hesitated for a moment and returned to take Xiaobai and Xiaomi with her.

The two of them ran forward excitedly, heading straight to the entrance of the alley where they met Chen Sisi before.

Ding Jiamin looked up and saw the number at the entrance of the alley. It was indeed the address of Chen Ning's home.

"Inside--" Xiaobai pointed to the depths of the alley, and the group walked quickly inside.

While they were looking for Chen Sisi, Ding Jiamin's colleague also drove to Huangjiacun. He also stopped the car at the entrance of Little Red Horse Academy, and then hurried to Chen Ning's house with another colleague.

The alley where Chen Sisi's home is located is deep and dark. Although there are street lights, they are not bright enough and can only illuminate one-third of an acre around the telephone poles.

Fortunately, Ding Jiamin was prepared. She walked in front with a flashlight in her hand, taking Xiaobai and Xiaomi to search for the house number while walking.

"Here -" Xiaomi pointed to a self-built house in front of him and said, "This is No. 54."

Ding Jiamin used a flashlight to shine upstairs. It was a three-story self-built house, and Chen Sisi's home was on the third floor.

But at this moment, the entire small building was dark, the windows were closed, and there was no sign of anyone living there.

"Follow me, don't run."

After Ding Jiamin finished speaking to Xiaobai and Xiaomi, she immediately went upstairs.

The corridor was dark and had a musty smell. There was a light bulb above the head, but it didn't light up. It must have been broken.

A cat screeched suddenly, startling the three of them.

Ding Jiamin's flashlight quickly captured a black cat flashing past the corridor.

Xiaobai and Xiaomi held hands tightly, giving each other strength. It was dark here and a bit scary, but if they were not allowed to follow, they would not come even if they gritted their teeth.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a cat." Ding Jiamin comforted them.

The two of them laughed awkwardly to relieve their tension.

Ding Jiamin walked in front and took the lead on the third floor. She looked around and saw that there were two suites on the third floor. She chose the one on the left. She shined the flashlight on the edge of the door and saw the house number. It was indeed the residence of Chen Ning's family.

There were many cardboard boxes and empty bottles piled up in the corridor. Xiaobai accidentally kicked the can, which made a loud clatter.

Ding Jiamin knocked on the door and asked aloud: "Is there anyone inside?"

No one answered.

She continued to knock on the door and ask, but there was still no answer.

Xiaobai and Xiaomi came over and said, "Chen Sisi - are you in there? Just scream when you are in there! We are Xiaobai and Xiaomi, and we came to play with you! Are you in there?"

Ding Jiamin was standing in front of the window at the moment, shining a flashlight into the room. The room was pitch black, and with the hazy light, she could barely distinguish the objects inside.

There was really no one in the living room.

Xiaobai and Xiaomi never responded to their questions.

Ding Jiamin was thinking that maybe Chen Sisi had really been picked up by relatives, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Chen Sisi is really not at home." Ding Jiamin said.

Xiaobai said: "Don't you have a key to open the door? Let's go in and take a look."

Ding Jiamin hesitated. She didn't know who the landlord was, and there was no one in the whole building, so she couldn't find anyone to ask.

Xiaobai kicked the door angrily and muttered, "I feel like Chen Sisi is inside."

Xiaomi asked: "Then why didn't she reply to our message?"

Xiaobai said: "If you fall asleep or faint from hunger, you may suffer from cholestasis."

Hearing this, Ding Jiamin felt that Xiaobai's words were reasonable. She looked through the window again, her eyes almost touching the glass.

If she still couldn't see anything, she went to the landlord to get the key, opened the door and went in to take a look.

There are many objects in the house and they are messy, indicating that someone lives here regularly.

Ding Jiamin's eyes followed the beam of the flashlight and scanned the living room carefully. Just when she found nothing again, suddenly, her eyes froze and her mood suddenly became heavy.

Because she saw a pot lid falling there where the living room connected with another room.

Although most of it was blocked by the wall, Ding Jiamin still saw clearly that it was a rice cooker with her keen judgment.

And that room should be the bedroom, not the kitchen. The kitchen is on the other side. She just saw the kitchen door.

This discovery made Ding Jiamin feel nervous.

She left the window, asked Xiaobai and Xiaomi to go away, and then tried to open the door.

Can't wait to find the landlord to get the keys, time is tight.

However, she knocked twice, but the door was not opened. Just as she was about to continue, footsteps and lights came from the corridor.

Two figures appeared in their field of vision.

"Xiao Ding! How's it going?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was a little overweight. This was Team Wu who had been on the phone with Ding Jiamin before.

There is also a young man who is also a colleague in the institute.

Ding Jiamin told the two of them what he had discovered, and their expressions changed drastically.

The young man who was left behind strode to the door and said, "I'll knock on the door. You guys go away."

With a bang, the door was knocked open, and the young man stumbled into the room. Ding Jiamin quickly pulled him up, while Captain Wu touched the light switch, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Don't go."

Seeing Xiaobai and Xiaomi running to the bedroom to check, Ding Jiamin quickly stopped the two of them and told them to stay here and not run around.

Then she and Captain Wu walked to the bedroom, and Ding Jiamin finally saw clearly that the lid of the pot that fell on the ground was the rice cooker.

The bedroom door was ajar, and Captain Wu pushed it open gently, making a creaking sound.

Ding Jiamin cooperated tacitly and quickly touched the light and turned it on. With a click, the entire scene in the bedroom came into view.

I saw a little girl curled up on the bed, with her back to them, motionless.
