Chapter 696 Maybe I can help
"My wife has become much calmer under the care of medical staff."
"She originally wanted to find her daughter, but I rejected her."
"I told her that one of us must stay with the police to understand the progress of the investigation."
……
"I don't want my daughter to be found and my wife to fall down again."
The uncle driver suddenly smiled, but his face looked very tired.
After the intense emotions, there is an empty feeling of loss.
He was at a loss.
He couldn't help but take out his daughter's photo from his pocket. He only wanted to take a look at it, but he lost his concentration after looking at it for a long time.
The daughter is the most important treasure to him and his mother, and is their pistachio. He still remembers the way the little pink dumpling told them seriously that he would be good to them when they grow up...
If something happens to her...
What should he and the child's mother do?
……
The uncle driver felt so bitter that it almost made him cry.
Did you really drink too much coffee?
Tsk, I don’t know why young people nowadays like to drink this bitter stuff so much?
……
"Papa~"
After only a few breaths of depression, the driver's uncle slapped his cheek hard twice. His dark complexion showed a flush, but his expression returned to his usual cheerful expression, "Classmate, I wasted your time."
"Sure enough, I felt much better after saying this."
He seemed to be full of energy again, and his physical fatigue had faded a lot.
"Thank you for the coffee, classmate."
"I'm leaving."
"My daughter is still waiting for me."
The uncle driver got up and pushed away his chair to leave.
"Uncle driver."
Xiao Xiao, who had been listening quietly to the man's story without saying a word, stopped him, "Wait a minute."
"Classmate, uncle knows your good intentions-"
The uncle driver was stunned for a moment, then understood. He thought the person in front of him wanted to comfort him or encourage him, but he didn't have such time now.
The narration just now has taken a lot of time.
"Uncle driver."
Xiao Xiao interrupted the man, "You can't see the puppy your daughter brought home, can you?"
"...Hmm."
The unexpected question made the man unable to react for a moment, and he paused before giving an affirmative answer.
"But your daughter insists that the puppy is with her."
"Yeah."
The uncle driver nodded confusedly, "What's wrong?"
“That’s why the child’s mother and I took the child to the hospital.”
"But the child will be lost only after going to the hospital."
At this point, the driver's uncle couldn't help but reveal a bit of resentment in his words.
He thought the child was safe in the hospital, but the child was lost in the hospital.
Can such a big hospital not even care for a single child?
Such security measures disappointed him.
He also faintly regretted it.
If I had known better, I would not have sent my daughter to the hospital.
Maybe my daughter will return to normal in a few days?
No matter what, it is better than losing my daughter now.
……
"Can you take me to the ward where the child lives?"
Xiao Xiao looked up at the middle-aged man, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, "Maybe... I can help."
"Really?!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help shouting, which attracted surprised looks from other people in the store.
The uncle driver didn't care about this. He looked at the students in front of him with burning eyes and couldn't believe what he heard.
"Can I?"
Xiao Xiao asked again. He did not answer the driver's previous question.
Although he was 80% sure from what the other party said just now that the driver's uncle's daughter must have encountered a monster, but there are exceptions to everything. Maybe it just sounded like the driver's uncle's daughter had encountered a monster?
However, if you get to the ward, some things will become clear.
……
"Okay, okay!" The driver nodded fiercely.
He was considered to be seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
As long as there is a little hope, he will not let it go.
He didn't think about how a student could help him find his missing daughter.
He just walked around aimlessly on the street for more than ten hours without eating lunch or dinner. His stomach was empty, his head was empty, and the hesitation in his heart made him want to desperately grab any straw offered by others. live.
……
"Then let's go."
Xiao Xiao got up and went to the cashier to pay, then walked out of the store and got into the uncle's car that was parked in front of the coffee shop.
……
The uncle drove wildly all the way, and made several thrilling overtakes that caused a lot of curses.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Children's Hospital.
……
The police cars were still there, and police officers could be seen entering and exiting the inpatient building.
……
Every second counts in the case of missing children. The longer the delay, the lower the chance of the child surviving.
Now that a day has passed, most police officers already have a bad feeling in their hearts.
However, as long as the child is not found, no matter whether the child's body is found in the end, they will not give up.
……
"Hello."
The driver who had just parked the car answered the phone, "I just arrived at the hospital."
"...No."
……
"Now I'm going to have a look at the ward where my daughter lived. Maybe I can find something?"
"What? You want to come too?"
……
"Okay, let's meet in my daughter's ward."
The driver hung up the phone, opened the door and got out of the car, smiling apologetically at Xiao Xiao, "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It was my wife calling."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said it was okay, "Let's go up."
……
There was silence in the elevator.
"By the way, classmate, I don't know your name yet?"
The uncle driver shouted as if he suddenly remembered something, and then seemed to realize that his voice was too loud. He smiled sheepishly and lowered his voice a bit, "Please come to the hospital with me at such a late hour."
"I came here myself."
Xiao Xiao corrected, "My name is Xiao Xiao."
"Oh, classmate Xiao, my surname is Jin, which means "Yong". If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Jin."
"Well, Uncle Jin."
Xiao Xiao's voice sounded at the same time as the elevator's "ding~" sound.
This coincidence made Xiao Xiao raise his eyebrows, and then stepped out of the elevator, "Uncle Jin, we are here."
"Well, follow me."
Uncle Jin led the way.
There was a hint of haste in his steps.
There was an inexplicable expectation in his heart, and he didn't know what he was expecting.
Even though his wife told him on the phone, the police investigation made no progress.
There were many suspects, but in the end everyone was cleared of suspicion.
There was no trace of tampering with the surveillance.
The police found no witnesses around the girl's hospital room.
The girl seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The police were left clueless and helpless.
……
Uncle Jin finally almost ran to the door of his daughter's ward.
There is a familiar figure.
Not his daughter, but his wife.
