Chapter Thirty-two Picked Up A Little Girl

  It turned out that when Liu Li was looking for a house agent on the commercial street, he saw a little girl about four or five years old standing alone by the road. The girl's eyes were confused and she looked around with a puzzled face, seemingly unable to find an adult.

  At this time, several people stood in front of the little girl, and everyone was asking about her residence. However, the little girl looked at the crowd with a timid expression, holding a doll in her arms, but she didn't say a word to everyone's inquiry.

  When Liu Li walked up to the girl, he saw that she was very cute, with a round face like a small apple, bright eyes shining with innocence, and her hair tied back in a ponytail, making her look lively and pretty.

  "Little girl, what's your name? Tell Uncle your name, and Uncle will take you to find your dad and mom, okay?" Liu Li squatted down, looking at the girl with a gentle face.

  "No, my mom said I'm not allowed to tell strangers my name." Liu Li's expression must have been quite sincere, or perhaps the girl had a good impression of him. The girl who hadn't spoken up until now hesitantly replied to Liu Li.

  "Huh……this little girl has finally spoken up, it's really strange. Previously, so many of us asked her questions, but she didn't say a word. I didn't expect her to actually respond to you, young man. It seems like this girl is quite fond of you. Quickly ask her, where is her family from? What are her parents' names? How did she end up here?" Seeing the girl speak, the people around them all clicked their tongues in surprise.

  At the urging of the crowd, Liu Li patiently asked about the girl's residence. However, although the girl had a simple conversation with Liu Li, she refused to say her name and address no matter how Liu Li asked in a roundabout way.

  He couldn't ask any more questions, so Liu Li suggested calling the police. He took out his phone and contacted the command center. Before long, a policeman from the nearby police station arrived at the scene. After understanding the situation, the policeman asked Liu Li to take the girl with him to the police station for a while. He wanted to check if anyone in the vicinity had reported a missing person.

  Back in the police station, the community police officer checked through the intranet platform and told Liu Li that two more people had been reported missing today. One was a girl and the other was a boy. The girl's name was Xiangxiang, she was five years old and went missing at noon today. Her parents reported her missing at the Chengguan Town Police Station.

  The community police originally wanted to personally send the girl to the Chengguan Town Police Station, but because of temporary work, he couldn't leave. When he learned that Liu Li was also a policeman, he visibly relaxed and asked Liu Li to take the girl there for verification with an apologetic expression.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Li bid farewell to the community police officer and left with the girl in his arms: "Girl, you didn't tell me your name, so what should I call you? Alright, from now on, I'll just call you 'girl'."

  "The name Ya Tou doesn't sound good, I don't like this name." The girl pouted her small mouth in protest at the name given by Liu Li.

  But Liu Li didn't care about this, still calling the girl "Niang Tou". On the way to the police station, Liu Li, who was not reliable, took Niang Tou to a supermarket and bought some snacks for her. He then put the bag of snacks around Niang Tou's neck and held her hand while looking for rental houses.

  Liu Li had looked for three housing agents in a row, but still hadn't found a suitable house. After dragging on for over an hour, the two finally returned to their car. Liu Li put Ya Tou in the back seat of the van, helped her fasten her seatbelt, and only then did he get into the driver's seat, start the engine, and drive towards the Chengguan Town Police Station.

  "Uncle, are you a police officer too?" A voice of inquiry came from beside Liu Li's ear.

  "Really, how did you know? Oh, I remember now. Just now when I was talking to that police uncle in the duty room, you heard our conversation, right?" Liu Li asked with a smile.

  After hearing Liu Li's words, Ya Tou replied crisply: "No, because I saw a police uniform hanging on Uncle's car seat."

  "You're really clever, you'll definitely get into university in the future." After praising her, Liu Li continued driving forward.

  After arriving at the Chengguan Town Police Station, Liu Li made it clear that he was the one who had taken the girl, and then told the police about what had happened to the girl. After listening to Liu's words, the police in Chengguan Town contacted the couple who reported their daughter missing according to the phone number recorded on the report.

  Liu Li thought that once the couple took their daughter away, everything would be fine. However, when the couple arrived at the police station, they told the police that the girl was not their missing daughter.

  When he heard the result, Liu Li was stunned. He looked at Ya Tou who was sitting quietly beside him and didn't know how to deal with it. According to procedure, he should send Ya Tou to a rescue station for temporary care, but after looking at Ya Tou, he felt reluctant to part with her. However, if Ya Tou were to live with him, it wouldn't be realistic either, because he himself hadn't found a place to live yet.

  After a moment's thought, Liu Li decided to take the girl back to the police station in Dizhang and let Du Zhiging's wife or Feng Yong's wife take care of her temporarily until they found her parents and took her away. After all, the conditions at home were better than those at the relief station.

  Thinking of this, Liu Li gave Du Zhiging a call and told him about Ya Tou's situation, then shared his own thoughts with Du. After listening to Liu Li's words, Du didn't hesitate at all and agreed.

  Du Zhicheng told Liu Li over the phone that there was no need to send Yaotou back to the police station, as his home was not far from the Chengguan Town Police Station. He would have his wife go to the Chengguan Town Police Station to pick up the child and promised to take good care of Yaotou until she was white and chubby.

  Liu Li thanked Du Zhiqing and then hung up the phone. More than ten minutes later, a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance, gentle features, and an age of around forty or so came to the Chengguan Town Police Station. After seeing this woman, several police officers in the station went to greet her: "Sister, you're here, the child is in the duty room."

  After exchanging a few pleasantries with the police, the middle-aged woman came to the duty room. Seeing Liu Li, she took the initiative to greet him: "Little Liu, right? I'm Old Du's lover, he asked me to come and pick up his daughter."

  The woman saw the little girl sitting on a chair eating snacks: "Oh my... this little girl is so cute, how can such a beautiful girl be called a servant? Her parents are really something, they actually gave their child such an unpleasant name, how can you say it out loud?"

  "Cough, cough... This name is indeed a bit plain." Liu Li's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and after scratching his head, he said to the woman: "Uh... sister-in-law... I'll leave the girl to you, I'll hurry up and find her parents, these few days you can take care of her, wash her clothes and cook for her."

  "Alright, I know, don't worry, I'll buy her a few new sets of clothes later. A child must have spare clothes. Also, this snack can't be eaten too much, we need to put it away and let the child eat more fruit instead. Eating too many snacks will make the child prone to getting a fever." The woman's love was now overflowing.

  Seeing Du Zhiging's wife liked Yaotou so much, Liu Li also felt relieved. Since it was getting late, he planned to finish the registration and send Yaotou to Du Zhiging's home. Just as he carried Yaotou out of the duty room...

  Liu Li saw a white Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in front of the police station, and then, from the car came down a woman about twenty-five or six years old, with a cold face, beautiful appearance, fair skin, tall figure, and looked somewhat like "Zhao Yizhi".

  The woman was wearing a white windbreaker, paired with white skinny pants and a pair of white high heels, giving off an ethereal, refreshing, and stunning impression. After getting out of the car, she hastily ran towards the police station.

  Seeing the policeman at the door, the woman said anxiously: "Officer, I want to report a case. My daughter got lost on Commercial Street this afternoon. Can you please help me find her?"

  The woman had just said this when she suddenly looked at Liu Li and his party with an incredulous expression.
