Chapter 670: Missing Child Case 1

In the director's office on the third floor of the Red Star Steel Mill Security Office Building, Qin Ming rubbed his sore eyes, looked up at the deputy directors sitting on the sofa opposite, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lao Xiong, Lao Zhang, please tell me about the current investigation situation first."

Xiong Qingshan and Zhang Shangwu looked at each other and spoke first: "Director, our public security department has been mobilized to visit and investigate the various courtyards and slums where the workers of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill live. According to the data currently summarized, from late July this year to yesterday, nine children of steel rolling mill employees have disappeared, including six boys and three girls, aged between six and ten years old. It is understood that after the family members found out that the children were missing, the manager of the courtyard and slum, that is, the liaison arranged by the street office and the neighborhood committee, organized the people in the courtyard to look for them everywhere. Only when they failed to find them did they report the case to the nearby police station. We also inquired about the various police stations. According to the comrades in the police station, after receiving the report, they immediately organized capable personnel to conduct an investigation, but did not find the missing children."

Zhang Shangwu continued, "Director Qin, we have sent half of our security department personnel to participate in the search for missing children, but we have not found a single child to date. We have also discovered a serious situation. According to comrades from various street offices, neighborhood committees, and police stations, it is not just our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill that has a problem with missing children. Preliminary estimates show that more than 30 children are missing. I suspect this is an organized action. If it was just an ordinary gang of beggars, it would not be so large-scale."

Qin Ming subconsciously took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff before slamming his desk. "Damn it, if the workers at our steel mill hadn't reported this to the security department, we wouldn't have known that so many children were missing in our area. What Lao Zhang said makes sense. This is unlikely to be the work of an ordinary gang of beggars. It looks like we have to report this to the secretary right away."

The four deputy directors all showed a trace of bitterness. After receiving the report from the workers, several directors and deputy directors did not pay enough attention at that time. After all, children in almost all families now are in a free-range state. The adults in the family have to work every day. Children who are not yet of school age, due to the lack of infrastructure such as kindergartens and education classes, also follow other older children to play wildly in courtyards, slums and nearby streets. Only when it is time to eat and they are hungry will they remember to go home.

In fact, although these directors and deputy directors did not say it explicitly, they all had a strong desire in their hearts. The Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has achieved some impressive achievements, all of which are the results of the action team at the training base. They also want to perform well to prove their abilities.

So under Qin Ming's arrangement, almost all the staff of the Security Department and the Public Security Section of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill were mobilized. In order to be on the safe side, half of the personnel from the Security Section were also transferred to participate in the operation. However, not a single missing child has been found yet. This made everyone feel ashamed. However, now is not the time to worry about their own face. They still have to find the missing child as soon as possible.

So Qin Ming led the four deputy directors and quickly came to the secretary's office of the training base.

After listening to Qin Ming's report, Lin Yu couldn't help but frowned. From the report just now, more than thirty children were missing. As for the number that has not been counted, it is estimated that there are also many missing children. You know, every missing child is related to one or even several families. It is conceivable what kind of situation these families are in now.

What Qin Ming and the others had not expected in particular was that such a large-scale case of missing children would definitely cause considerable unrest in society. Lin Yu had already vaguely felt that there was a dark hand behind the scenes manipulating it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu reached out and picked up the phone on the desk. After shaking the handle, he said to the switchboard in a deep voice: "Connect me to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau."

The call was quickly connected, and the voice of Director Bai Wu of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau came from the receiver: "Hello, this is the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, I am Bai Wu."

Lin Yu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and said directly: "Director Bai, I'm Lin Yu."

Bai Wu on the other side immediately said solemnly: "Director Lin, do you have any instructions?"

Lin Yu directly recounted the contents of Qin Ming's report, and then continued: "Director Bai, so far, the number of missing children obtained by the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill alone has exceeded 30. It is estimated that there will be missing children in other places. I am worried that it will cause great panic in society and even cause social unrest. Now the country is carrying out the Great Steelmaking Movement. Once this panic spreads, it will inevitably have a serious impact on many work."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, not only Director Bai Wu on the other end of the phone, but also Qin Ming and others couldn't help but change their expressions. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.

Bai Wu said solemnly: "Director Lin, please give the order. Our city bureau's criminal investigation department must concentrate all its efforts to solve this case as soon as possible, find the missing child, and severely crack down on the saboteurs behind it."

Lin Yu hummed, "Director Bai, have someone call all the police stations and public security sub-bureaus in the city right now to count the exact number of missing children. At the same time, order all sub-bureaus and police stations to go all out to track down any clues. I remind you that once you find any clues, you are not allowed to act on your own. The enemy behind so many cases in the city at the same time should not be underestimated. I will have the action team be on high alert. Tell the comrades below that as long as they find any clues, it will be a great achievement. Don't act on your own to avoid alerting the enemy."

Director Bai Wu certainly understood what Lin Yu meant, and immediately agreed solemnly. At present, a considerable number of police officers in various police stations and public security bureaus are retired soldiers. If these comrades were allowed to engage in frontal combat, they would definitely be brave and skilled fighters. However, they are now facing an extremely cunning opponent. These soldiers basically have no experience in dealing with such situations. Once the enemy is alerted, not only will the public security officers themselves be in danger, but the lives of the missing children will also be affected.
