I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

"Officer, I beg you, my daughter really did marry Xu Jiagen, I'm not lying."

Liu Xiaotao helplessly pulled his arm away from the woman's. "Comrade Zhou Dajuan, we've investigated this matter several times already. Comrade Xu Jiagen and your daughter don't know each other at all!"

"How can you not recognize him? My daughter is pregnant with his child!"

Zhou Dajuan cried until her voice was hoarse, "Police officer, I beg you, please help me again."

"Comrade Zhou Dajuan, if you continue to harass people like this, we will arrest you."

Zhou Dajuan blushed and suddenly attacked Liu Xiaotao as if she had lost control.

"Arrest them! Arrest them! I can't find my daughter! You might as well kill me! Arrest them! You police officers are just protecting each other..."

"Zhou Dajuan!"

Just as Liu Xiaotao grabbed her hands...

"Aunt Zhou!"

In the dim light, Zhou Dajuan finally saw a baby walking over.

"Aunt Zhou, can't you find your daughter?"

Stunned, Zhou Dajuan burst into tears, crying, "Xiaochun, my Meimei is gone!"

Xiaochun reached out and patted the distraught woman repeatedly.

She only noticed the policeman when she got closer. Wasn't that the plainclothes policeman from the train?

What a coincidence!

Liu Xiaotao looked at Xiaochun and immediately burst out laughing.

"Young comrade, it's you! I didn't expect to see you again."

Xiaochun asked obediently.

"Uncle, my aunt's daughter is missing. Why aren't you helping her look for her?"

Liu Xiaotao was speechless, scratching his head. "It's not what she said. This aunt said her daughter Chen Meimei married Xu Jiagen. We investigated and asked their leaders, but no one has ever seen her. Besides, Xu Jiagen has been married for several years. How could he possibly go on a blind date?"

The police did their job, but they really couldn't find anything suspicious at all.

"We called her hometown to ask, and Chen Meimei said she got married, but no one had ever met the man back then. We also checked the phone number, and it was just a village number. The person there said that a girl instructed them to say that. We suspect that Chen Meimei lied to her parents."

"Bullshit! My Meimei is so well-behaved and sensible, she would never do such a thing!"

Zhou Dajuan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Meimei's boyfriend was introduced by a matchmaker from the next village. They said he was in the army and didn't have time, so they sent Meimei over. Meimei called us and said she was married, but she was lying..."

"Auntie, there's no record of the military region ever calling you. They have records in their communications room; you can't lie about that."

Liu Xiaotao's story was logical and well-founded; he couldn't possibly be lying. But his aunt's daughter was indeed gone.

Looking at Zhou Dajuan's desperate expression, Ruan Xiaochun knew she wasn't lying.

Where did Zhou Dajuan's daughter, Chen Meimei, go?

Whenever she's thinking, she subconsciously puts her index finger in her mouth and bites it.

Ruan Jianhua quickly grabbed her little hand with a serious expression, "Xiaochun is a good girl, she doesn't bite her nails."

Xiaochun stuck out her tongue. "Okay."

Turning to Liu Xiaotao, she said, "Uncle Policeman, could you please take care of my aunt for the night? I can take her to the city's Public Security Bureau tomorrow to ask Captain Xing."

"Captain Xing? Xing Yong? You know him?" Liu Xiaotao's eyes lit up with surprise. "Can I come with you tomorrow?"

Xing Yong is a god in their public security field.

Xiao Chun nodded obediently and sincerely, "Today is also Xiao Chun's first time with Captain Xing. He's a good person and promised to help Xiao Chun."

After being robbed of his pocket by a thief, Liu Xiaotao worked hard to learn how to avoid being pickpocketed.

His master felt that he was going astray, so he assigned him this task to help him clear his head.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaotao had the opportunity to meet Xing Yong, and he immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the guesthouse next to the train station tomorrow."

Zhou Dajuan grasped at a straw, "Xiaochun, thank you, Auntie."

Xiaochun sensed her aunt's extreme worry and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Xiaochun believes we can find it."

Aunt Zhou sighed, and tears fell again.

"Good child, thank you, thank you."

Watching Zhou Dajuan leave with Liu Xiaotao, Xiaochun felt a pang of sadness.

Why is it so difficult to get anything done in this world?

Aren't she and Aunt Zhou just the same kind of helpless people?

The next day.

Xiaochun got up early in the morning and took the first bus to the city with Ruan Jianhua.

Liu Xiaotao was waiting for her at the door with a steamed bun in his mouth. "Little one, this is for you and your dad."

The little guy in Ruan Jianhua's arms smiled obediently, "Thank you, Uncle."

Liu Xiaotao reached out to touch her little face.

Ruan Jianhua stepped back, his defensive posture making Liu Xiaotao awkwardly touch his nose.

Xiao Chun blinked her round eyes and gave Ruan Jianhua a quick kiss on the cheek.

So that's why Dad was so unhappy about Xiaochun being with other people.

She doesn't dislike this possessiveness.

On the contrary, they were quite pleased with themselves, and would wag their little tails if they had one.

"Uncle, let's go."

The four of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

As soon as Xing Yong came out of the interrogation room, the police officer at the front desk ran over.

"Officer, there's a young girl looking for you at the door. She says her name is Ruan Xiaochun."

Ruan Xiaochun? That little girl from the military region?

"Okay, I understand."

Xing Yong strode forward and looked at the little guy with curious, wide eyes darting around the doorway.

The next second, their eyes met, and Xiaochun's happy little hands twitched like a cat's paws exploding with joy, "Captain Xing!"

Xing Yong walked over, and Xiao Chun looked up at him, her little face upturned, "Captain Xing!"

"Why did you come here?"

Xiao Chun pointed to Liu Xiaotao and Zhou Dajuan behind her, "Captain Xing, I brought them here to find you."

"Officer! I'm Liu Xiaotao, the local police officer from the railway station branch."

Liu Xiaotao's voice trembled with excitement. His idol! His idol!

Xing Yong: "What happened?"

Liu Xiaotao quickly explained the situation, "Captain Criminal Investigation, these are the records of our previous registrations and the case files of our investigation. I specifically requested to bring them over from the bureau."

Xing Yong frowned as he looked at Zhou Dajuan. "When did your daughter stop contacting you?"

"Just over a month ago, officer, I beg you, my husband and I have only had this one daughter in our whole lives. She's very well-behaved and would never disappear just to lie to us."

Xing Yong was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, come inside with me and explain things again."

"Okay, okay."

Xing Yong took Zhou Dajuan to give a statement.

Xiao Chun sat on a bench in the police station, swinging her little feet. A short while later, Xing Yong came out.

Zhou Dajuan, her eyes red and swollen from crying, followed behind.

Xing Yong's expression was serious. "Our municipal bureau will follow up on the investigation, so please don't worry."

"Thank you, comrade."

Xiao Chun jumped off the stool. "Captain Xing!"

"You've come at the right time. I'm going to the military region, and I can take you back with me."

They rode in a car belonging to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Xiao Chun asked curiously, "Captain Xing, why do you believe that Aunt Zhou's daughter is really missing?"

"Then why do you believe her?"

Of course, Xiaochun wouldn't say that she could tell her aunt wasn't lying.

She wiggled her little feet. "Xiaochun thinks Auntie cried like Auntie Gua in the village. She cried like that when her son fell into the water and drowned, didn't she, Daddy?"

"Yes, that's what I saw!"

"My son, my poor son..." Ruan Jianhua wailed while slapping his thigh.

The live performance left both of them completely bewildered.

"Dad, collect it, collect it."

Ruan Jianhua received it instantly.

Xing Yong coughed lightly. No wonder this child is acting strangely. How can he be normal?

"Comrade Zhou did not lie. The two statements are almost identical. If an ordinary person lies, there will be logical loopholes. Both completely identical and completely different statements are problematic."

Xiaochun: I see.
