Chapter 225 Spend the Night in the Internet Bar

Ling Tianyi found Xiaoluo in the surveillance videos, who was wearing a little red hat. However, he also saw himself in the surveillance videos. Why he didn’t recognize her when he passed by. She was beside him at that moment, and he was unaware of it.

What bothered Ling Tianyi most was that Xia Xiaoluo was obviously avoiding him on purpose. She saw him, but she ignored him.

Ling Tianyi followed the clue, focusing on looking for a girl in a little red hat. He found that Xia Xiaoluo went to the long-distance bus terminal.

Ling Tianyi finally confirmed that Xia Xiaoluo went to D City, so he drove to D City immediately. He knew that Xia Xiaoluo had only one hundred yuan, the ticket was 48 yuan. The rest money was not enough for food and accommodation.

Seeing that it was dark, and that Xia Xiaoluo just had a miscarriage, she was very weak, Ling Tianyi started to drive as fast as he could. So it took him only an hour to drive to D City. When he was on the way, he asked the local public security Bureau and some of his friends to find Xia Xiaoluo.

For a while, all kinds of monitoring probes began to search for Xia Xiaoluo.

However, Xia Xiaoluo was very smart. She was determined to avoid the monitoring probes, so she did not wear the red hat all the time.

When Xia Xiaoluo arrived at D City, she bought the bread and the tickets. She also ate a bowl of fried noodles with sauce, and then she had only 44 yuan. She spent another 20 yuan cutting her hair in the salon. However, the new hairstyle was so ugly that she looked like a village girl with short hair.

“There is 24 yuan only! I must find a job providing both accommodation and food!” Xia Xiaoluo took the changes and encouraged herself.

Xia Xiaoluo wanted to work in restaurants or hotels, but they didn’t want to hire anyone. She didn’t have an ID card, so the regular restaurants and hotels wouldn’t give her the opportunity.

It was getting dark and cold. Xia Xiaoluo wrapped her hands in the red hat, but it was still too cold.

She didn’t know how to spend the night.

“I can go to the Internet Bar!” Although the Internet Bar also needed to check the ID card, people below 18 years old were not allowed to enter. But when she was in middle school, she often went to the Internet Bar with Dou Ya even if they didn’t have licenses, so she was experienced.

As Xia Xiaoluo was walking, she inquired where the Internet Bar was. Finally, she found an Internet Bar in the city though every family had their own computer.

Ten yuan could afford the fare for the worst computer and the worst seat for the whole night. Xia Xiaoluo was very satisfied with the result, which was better than sleeping in the streets in winter.

Xia Xiaoluo login her QQ, thinking that Dou Ya might go home now, so she sent her a message directly.

“Dou Ya, are you there?”

Ling Tianyi has arrived at D City. He was looking for Xia Xiaoluo in the small hotels where people could stay without ID cards, accompanied by the local police.

Ling Tianyi heard the sound of Dou Ya’s mobile phone, so he quickly checked it.

Ling Tianyi was very excited at the time. He opened Dou Ya’s QQ with his trembling hands, speaking to the police, “It’s the message from my wife! She is surfing the Internet. Go to the Internet Bar and find her. Hurry up!”

“Bustard Xiaoluo, where are you now?” Ling Tianyi imitated Dou Ya’s tone and replied a message. He thought that he was a man of foresight, he took Dou Ya’s mobile phone, which was very useful.

“Manager Ling, we will check all the Internet Bars immediately, especially the irregular ones.” The police said.

“Why did you leave without telling me? I’m so anxious!” Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo didn’t answer, Ling Tianyi asked her again immediately.

“I didn’t mean to.”

“I saw my husband at the gate of the community, so I dare not to go back to your house.”

Xia Xiaoluo also sent two messages constantly.

Ling Tianyi was very sad at Xia Xiaoluo’s reply. Xia Xiaoluo actually left Dou Ya’s house because she saw him and she was afraid of him. In other words, if he did not appear in the community, she wouldn’t run so far, at least she could have a rest at Dou Ya’s house.

“Where are you now?” Ling Tianyi continued to ask.

“I went to D City.” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“You have only one hundred yuan! How can you go that far away! Did you have dinner? Where do you live?” Ling Tianyi was concerned about these questions.

“The same as before, I’m staying in the Internet Bar for the night! I want to find a job providing food and accommodation tomorrow!” Xia Xiaoluo also sent him a mischievous smiling face icon.

Ling Tianyi looked at the icon, he couldn’t laugh at all. “Which Internet Bar are you in? I’ll go to find you right away!”

“Let it go, just focus on your job in A City. I’m tired. I’ll go to sleep first. Bye!” Xia Xiaoluo was so tired that she fell asleep on the keyboard after sending this message.

“Xiaoluo, Xiaoluo……” Ling Tianyi continued to send her messages, but Xia Xiaoluo was asleep and she couldn’t see it at all.

Ling Tianyi followed the police car, searching for the Internet Bars one by one. Xia Xiaoluo thought that the Internet Bar almost disappeared in this era when she wanted to find one, but Ling Tianyi thought that there were so many Internet Bars. He has checked five Internet Bars, but he could not find Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo stopped answering the QQ messages as well.

After all, Ling Tianyi spent the whole night looking for Xia Xiaoluo in all the Internet Bars, but he failed.

Ling Tianyi planned to call Dou Ya, but the person who answered the phone was his own staff. She replied that Dou Ya didn’t accept the mobile phone as a gift, she run out to find Xia Xiaoluo alone.

“Manager Ling, according to the owner of the Spider Internet Bar next to No.3 Middle School, there was a young girl who went online without a license last night. She was supposed to spend the night in the Internet Bar, but over eleven o’clock at night, a man and a woman came and took her away.” The police reported the situation to Ling Tianyi as they were reporting to their leaders.

“Do they have surveillance videos?” Ling Tianyi asked.

“The Internet Bar doesn’t have surveillance videos, but there are monitoring probes on the roads near the school. Our staff is asking for it. They will send it to my computer through wireless transmission later.” The police said.

“A man and a woman?” Ling Tianyi was thinking about it. He thought that there must be something wrong. Xia Xiaoluo doesn’t have any acquaintance in D City and she might meet the traffickers!

Ling Tianyi was very anxious, he kept walking back and forth in the room.

Ling Tianyi had no choice but to look at the sky. It seemed that it was going to snow. It was already over nine o’clock in the morning. He didn’t know where Xia Xiaoluo was now. Did she feel better? Did she eat something? Did she have enough money?

Finally, ten minutes later, they received the video.

“This girl’s hair was short, but her figure and clothes were the same as the things Manager Ling brought from A City.” A policeman said. Ling Tianyi told some features of Xia Xiaoluo to them.

Ling Tianyi shook his head, he was not sure, because the video was too vague to see people’s faces clearly. Moreover, the girl in the video kept her head down, but her figure and walking style were really similar to Xia Xiaoluo.

And the two people with this girl were wearing thick down jackets and hats, they couldn’t be seen clearly, either.

“Check the taxi, make sure where they get off, and then go on checking the surveillance videos.” Ling Tianyi said. In fact, the police have done this before. After all, Ling Tianyi was a big man, so they must let him act as a commander in chief.

“Go to the Spider Internet Bar now! Go and see if there are any traces left.” Ling Tianyi decided to go to the Internet Bar, maybe he could find some clues.

Ling Tianyi was in the Spider Internet bar. The boss pointed at the seat Xia Xiaoluo sat yesterday. Ling Tianyi saw that it was next to the toilet. It was very smelly, the space was very small and the computer was shabby. It was obvious that Xia Xiaoluo had no money, so she chose the worst and cheapest seat.

“She had no money, so she could only sit here.” The owner of the Internet Bar said.

“Did she bargain with you?” Ling Tianyi asked. He has seen Xia Xiaoluo’s bargaining ability.

“The girl is talkative, so I let her stay here for the whole night with ten yuan. And she looked very pitiful!” The owner of the Internet Bar said.

“What is her accent?” The policeman asked.

“Unlike the people in D City, it’s like people in A City. My uncle lives in A City, so I know it!” The owner of the Internet Bar recalled carefully, because the police have scolded him for hosting the undocumented people to surf the Internet. But in order to find Xia Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi didn’t let the police offend the owner of the Internet Bar, so the owner naturally said everything he knew. Because he wanted to say more clues instead of setting off his crime.

“Who took her away?” Ling Tianyi continued to ask.

“A man and a woman, they looked very decent.” The owner of the Internet Bar said.

“Did the girl know them? Did she follow them voluntarily or she was forced?” Ling Tianyi asked, it was very important.

“I can’t see it, because the girl kept sleeping there all the time, and then she followed them in a daze.” The owner of the Internet Bar said.

“Why didn’t you stop her? What if they were bad guys?” Ling Tianyi was anxious.

“I’m sorry, brother. I’m just a little businessman and I can’t care about other people’s things. There are a lot of people here after all!” The boss of the Internet Bar felt wronged, he was not a policeman, so he couldn’t manage so many things.

Ling Tianyi was anxious at this time. There was no news about Xia Xiaoluo. If Xia Xiaoluo was taken away, she would be in danger.

The police continued to make the statement with the owner of the Internet Bar. Ling Tianyi suddenly got an idea, he asked the owner of the Internet Bar, “Check the QQ chat record of this computer for me.”

“Brother, we have set up the programs in our computers. Once the computer is shut down and restarted, it will automatically recover. This is also a way to prevent viruses on the computer. So, I can’t help you! I’m sorry!” The owner said.

“Manager Ling, we can do it.” The police said that they had a lot of professional staff. Although checking records could not be done immediately, it would certainly be finished in an hour or two.
