Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 672
Seeing my dad's self-reproaching eyes, I realized that I just said too much, and immediately explained: "Dad, I didn't mean that! Let's find someone quickly!"

The family went door to door to inquire about the news, then went to the security guard and asked the old man which direction he was going?

The security guard asked me three questions, and I scolded them again, saying that they were too irresponsible and didn't know anything!
The security guard is not as good-tempered as my father, and he confronted me and said, "I have no obligation to help you look after your elderly. We are only responsible for the security work in the community!"

I was in a hurry and wanted to hit someone, but Yaoyang dragged me back and taught me a lesson: "You have a lot of time, don't you? Hurry up and find someone!"

My parents were looking for it nearby, Yaoyang and I drove to look for it, and Xiaoxue and my aunt went to the police station to report the crime.

As soon as I drove out of the community, Xiaohao's phone rang. I was a little angry because of Xiaoxue and his matter, and now I was anxious, so I said impatiently: "What's the matter, I'm busy. !"

Xiaohao heard my unfriendly tone and explained: "Uncle Fei, listen to me, I really don't blame me for the matter between me and Xiaoxue!"

I said angrily: "The heart of a wolf is like a dog's lungs! I'm not in the mood to meddle in your business right now!"

Xiaohao was not angry, and continued to explain: "I didn't force Xiaoxue to do these things for me, she did it voluntarily!"

I was really not interested in listening to him, so I shouted: "You're not finished, are you? I'm not interested in listening to your crap right now!"

Xiaohao thought I was really angry, so he continued to talk.

I groaned and said, "Your grandpa grandpa is lost, and I'm looking for him, so don't make trouble for me!"

Xiaohao let out a cry, and immediately asked me, "Where are you, I'll look for it with you!"

I froze for a moment and asked, "Have you returned to Zhuhai?"

Xiaohao hummed and said: "I just came back yesterday, I think I should tell you clearly about Xiaoxue!"

Xiaohao was at his home, and I happened to pass by, so I dragged him along to find him.

I searched for nearby parks and shopping malls, but couldn't find them.

Everyone got nothing, it was already late at night, and I thought to myself, if Katsuo came back tomorrow morning and knew that his father was gone, how would I face her! ?
It was almost dawn before everyone returned home.

Yaoyang arranged and said: "There is no way to find this way. I will check the surveillance video of the bus station on the street early in the morning to see if the old man is taking the bus. I will go to the bus terminal and ask around to see if anyone has seen the old man. In addition, Ah Fei, you can find the photo of the old man, copy it out and pay people who have news, and post it everywhere! Also go to the radio station, you are familiar with it, let them help find someone! Parents, go to the street and start Your people, get the news. Xiaoxue and Xiaohao, go to the police station and continue to wait. Auntie, you stay at home and wait for Shengnan to come back. Tell her, don’t leave, just wait at home, in case the old man comes back , let us know as soon as possible!"

We all squinted for a while, and went to the old man's room to find his photo.

Since he moved in, I seldom enter the old man's room.

It was clean and tidy, and the whole room had the same superfluous things, but there were small notes everywhere, because I was afraid that I would forget things, so I recorded everything in small notes.

Opening the drawer of his desk, there were only a few medals and a yellowed photo inside.

This photo was taken of him and Yuan Lihong in Tiananmen Square. At that time, the old man was in high spirits, and Yuan Lihong was still so young and beautiful.

Picking up the photo and preparing to go out, Xiaoxue pulled me and said, "Uncle, let me go with you!"

I looked at Xiaohao beside me, and said, "Don't make trouble at this time! Find the old man and talk about it!"

Then he left them and went out alone.

After copying the missing person notice, I discussed with the boss of the printing agency and asked him to find someone to paste it. I will pay one yuan for each piece.

The owner of the printing agency readily agreed and promised to print 100 more copies for me.

Afterwards, I went to find Qin Ge from the radio station. Qin Ge knew that it was rare for me to ask for help, and besides, it was such a big matter, so he quickly asked the radio station leader to apply. 24 hours non-stop loop playback.

Yaoyang found the public transport group company, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and they didn't check it for him without the proof documents from the police station.Money is useless!
In the end, I had no choice but to call my junior high school classmate, my boss, who is now the vice president of the public transport group. When he learned that my father-in-law was lost, he readily agreed. Docile, let them do whatever they want.

One afternoon, Yaoyang finally found the figure of the old man at a bus stop near my home, got on the bus, and then saw the old man get off at the terminal in Doumen, and disappeared afterwards.

After Yaoyang and I met, I analyzed: "What do you think the old man is doing in Doumen?"

Yaoyang cut his throat and said: "He has dementia, he doesn't even know what he's going to do? How can we guess!"

I curled my lips and said, "He has dementia, and he's not stupid. He just doesn't have a good memory. Think about his purpose? It must have a purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled so far!"

Yaoyang nodded and analyzed: "Well, to go to Doumen, one is to go to the direction of Zhongshan, and the other is to go to the airport! He has never been to Zhongshan, so why go to Zhongshan? Visit the Zhongshan Memorial Hall? Not like that! That is to go to the airport, but What is he doing at the airport?"

I thought for a while and woke up: "Go back to BJ! Didn't I hear people say that he kept muttering that he wanted to talk to the boss. I guess he wanted to go back to BJ and find his eldest son!"

The two suddenly realized, without saying a word, they pulled Xiaoxue and Xiaohao, and went straight to the airport.

Along the way, as I drove, the three of them looked around nervously.

I drove all the way to the airport, but I didn’t see the old man. Yaoyang asked me, “Do you think the old man will buy a plane ticket back to BJ by himself?”

I shook my head and said, "How is that possible? I still have his ID card with me!"

Yaoyang suddenly asked: "Will you be kidnapped?"

I glared at him and said, "What's the use of tying the old man? Don't think about it!"

When we arrived at the airport, the four of us searched everywhere from the waiting room to the parking lot, and then found the radio to find someone. After tossing around, we couldn't find it.

I suddenly felt that Zhuhai is huge and crowded, and it is so hard to find someone!

On the way home, almost desperate, I received a phone call, and asked politely, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Fade Chen?"

I didn't pay much attention, thought it was a salesman, so I said casually, "I am, what's the matter?"

I was taken aback for a moment, I didn't expect that I would be so rude, but I still said politely: "We are the Doumen Police Station. When we were dealing with a traffic accident, we found an old man. We went to call the police with you. The old man you are looking for is very similar, if you have time, can you go to the hospital to have a look?"

I was overjoyed at first, then cold, this was hit by a car, do I have to identify the body?My heart is full of fear.

It took a while to recover, and hurriedly asked: "Which hospital, I'll come right over."

After learning the address, I hurried to the hospital.

Yaoyang anxiously and joyfully asked: "Have you found him?"

I nodded.

Seeing my melancholy eyes, he seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, and asked me again: "What's wrong with you?"

I sighed and said, "I told you about the traffic accident, and I'm in the hospital now!"

The three of them exclaimed at the same time, looking anxiously at the road ahead.

Yaoyang continued to comfort me and said: "It's okay, drive slowly, everything will be fine!"

Xiaoxue and Xiaohao in the back seat seemed to be about to cry.

I was already in an irritable mood, but when I heard their cries, I exploded, "Why are you crying? Isn't this dead yet! Calm down!"

In fact, I said this to myself. My hand holding the steering wheel has already started to tremble non-stop.

When I arrived at the hospital, I asked the two young ones to wait in the car, but they didn't listen to me at all, they just followed me closely.

After entering the hospital, I dialed the policeman's mobile phone again, and then saw a policeman in police uniform coming down from the second floor, and asked me kindly, "Isn't Fade Chen?"

I nodded hastily.

He said in a reproachful tone: "Come with me, why are you so careless? The old man suffers from dementia, so he should find someone to look after him. How can he just let him walk around on the street by himself?"

How could I be in the mood to listen to his teachings, and I didn't answer, just followed him forward.

When I passed the corridor of the emergency room, a stretcher bed covered with a white cloth happened to be rolled out inside. I almost knelt down, and tears welled up in my eyes.About to rush over.

Suddenly he was pulled back by the police comrades and asked, "What are you doing?"

I froze for a moment, then looked at him, and he said to me: "Not here, you are very curious? You want to see this!"

Only then did I realize that I was wrong.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought..."

"What do you think? If that's the case, you won't regret it! Here..." After finishing speaking, he led me to the surgery.

Finally, in the dressing room of the surgery, I saw Mr. Sun who was applying the medicine. I walked over and looked around and asked, "Where is the injury?"

The old man said very soberly: "It's just that my arm is scratched a little, I even said that I don't need to go to the hospital, they insisted on letting me come and have a look!"

At this time, a fat man wearing earth-gray shorts and a shirt with horizontal stripes on his upper body came over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "It was the old man I hit by a motorcycle. I really didn't violate the law." According to the traffic rules, he was the one who walked over and suddenly turned back. I didn't stop the car, so I knocked him down! I am responsible, and I will pay for it all!"

The policeman said seriously: "Whether you violated the traffic rules or not, you should only start the car after the old man has passed!"

The fat man nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have started it so fast!"

The police comrade nodded and asked me: "You see how you plan to deal with it? My personal opinion is that the person is not serious. Let him go after a physical examination! He didn't run away, and he took the initiative to send the old man to the hospital. Well, it’s not all his fault!”

Yaoyang said to the fat man angrily: "We care about your two dollars! It's human, it's okay, if you make a mistake, I'll tell you..."

The police comrade immediately scolded: "What are you going to do? I've said it all, it's not all his responsibility!"

I hastily pulled Yaoyang aside, and said to the fat man, "It's good that you're fine, you're fine, you don't have to be afraid, we won't blackmail you, after the inspection you're fine, you can go!"

The old man also said: "This young man is very nice, don't embarrass him!"

The fat man kept nodding his head in thanks.

After the inspection, the old man was indeed fine, so the fat man left with peace of mind. Before he left, he wanted to leave some money, but I rejected it. He was able to find him, and there was no major accident. It is lucky. I am still a little grateful to him, if it weren't for him , I guess we can't find anyone until now.

When encountering such a thing, everyone panics, and many people have already run away. In fact, this fat man is pretty good!
After further education by the police comrades, we were released.

In the car, I looked at the old man and said: "You can't run around like this anymore. The whole family didn't do anything yesterday and today, so they came looking for you. Tell me where you are going! I will take you there !"

The old man stared numbly at the front and said: "I guess I'm going to see Li Hong soon, I want to go see our boss before I leave! He was given too much expectation by me since he was a child, and he was required to be young when he was in school. The first place in the annual exam, I asked him to strive for excellence every year when he was working. Even when he was looking for a girlfriend, I asked him to find the right one! But the result is that he is still not married! Sometimes, I just think, I Why must he complete a career that cannot be completed? This is his own life, why must he live according to my ideas! I am tolerant to the second and third children, but I am too strict with him In the end, he succeeded, but he didn't appreciate me at all. Instead, he felt that I was inferior to him in many things, and he no longer respected me as a father. It's not his fault!"

I persuaded: "Don't say that, anyone's life is his own, it is the path he chooses. Unlike you, you have given great expectations to Katsuo, but Katsuo chose himself The way he wanted to go, and the eldest brother chose another way he wanted to go, but this road is a bit tortuous, and it will always return to the right track, so you don't have to worry about it!"

The old man sighed and said: "Don't hide it from me, I knew it a long time ago, my memory is not good, but I still know that something will happen to him, and I wanted to help him at first, but I don't have the ability, if you If you can help him, help him, it can be regarded as compensation for me!"

I hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? We are a family, and I should help the elder brother! It's just that the elder brother is in a special situation and is still under investigation, but don't worry, I have met him. He's really good now!"
