Chapter 367: Chapter 367: The Child is Missing
Qin Yi was in a daze of sleep when he heard someone push the door open and come in.
It should be the young couple from across the way who returned.
"Young lady, did you see our child?"
The woman’s eyes were red and swollen from crying as she asked Liu Yiren.
Liu Yiren hadn’t been asleep, she turned over and sat up, her face full of surprise, "Didn’t you take the child to the dining car for a meal?"
"What happened to the child?"
The woman, sobbing, said that she and her husband were eating in the dining car, with the two babies placed in the stroller. As they were eating, they somehow fell asleep, and when they woke up, the child was gone.
"Could it be that the train staff saw you sleeping and took the child to look after them?" Liu Yiren suggested a rather naive possibility.
Thinking about it, it was clearly impossible. If the child were to cry, the staff could have just woken the two of them up.
The woman cried as she said, "We’ve looked everywhere. No one saw the child."
At this moment, the man brought in two train police, pointing at Liu Yiren and shouting, "It must be her. She definitely took our child."
"When they first boarded the train, she wanted to hold my child. I said a few words to her fearing germs might spread; she must be a trafficker."
The man then pointed at Qin Yi on the upper berth and shouted, "And him, the two of them are in it together."
The two train police looked at Liu Yiren with suspicion, it didn’t seem like these two could be kidnappers.
"Bullshit! Don’t go around biting people like a mad dog! I just thought the babies were cute. But don’t wrongly accuse me, we’ve never left this compartment since boarding." Liu Yiren was furious.
This man is shameless!
"It’s you, it must be you, otherwise where would our child go?" The man clamored.
Liu Yiren’s delicate face was full of anger, "You say I stole your child, well, there’s only so much room in here, just search."
"But if you find nothing, don’t blame me for being rude."
The two train police glanced around, the space was so small, it was impossible to hide a child, let alone two.
"You must have accomplices; the kid is with your accomplice." The man firmly accused Qin Yi and Liu Yiren of stealing the child.
Liu Yiren’s delicate face turned cold, "You’re crazy! A child having a father like you is the worst luck."
The two train police exchanged glances, and one of them said to Liu Yiren, "You both, please come with us for further investigation."
"Are you crazy? Investigate what? Why would we steal a child? Has a door pinched your brains? It’s insane enough this idiot is biting accusations here, and you actually believe him."
Liu Yiren’s temper flared, her face icy, if the man kept babbling, she might have started hitting him.
Qin Yi frowned in annoyance, couldn’t even sleep peacefully. But the child was innocent after all. He sat up and said, "We are getting off at Qianxing City, you have plenty of time to investigate us along the way."
"Instead of wasting time here, why don’t you check what you ate and drank in the dining car, see if there’s any issue?"
The man, like a mad dog, started shouting again, "See, it’s definitely him; otherwise, how would he know there’s an issue with what we ate and drank?"
Qin Yi’s face turned stern immediately, "Two people eating, with a child beside, inexplicably fell asleep at the same time, even a fool would know something is wrong here."
"And when I find the child, I’ll make sure you remember this."
The woman, still crying, said, "Husband, what this gentleman says makes sense..."
Qin Yi interrupted her, "Did the train stop in between?"
One of the police officers said, "We stopped once."
Qin Yi’s expression changed slightly, if they stopped once, perhaps the kidnapper already got off.
"Call the police! Search the entire train, hopefully, the child is still on board."
The man stared at Qin Yi, wanting to shout.
"Get lost, if you don’t hurry up, you might never find your child again." Qin Yi roared angrily, making the whole carriage tremble.
The man shuddered, looked at Qin Yi in fear, then turned and ran out.
"How long until the next stop?"
Qin Yi asked while feeling his way down from the upper bunk.
One of the train police was startled and asked surprised, "Your eyes?"
"Blind!" Qin Yi replied nonchalantly, then continued, "Answer my question."
"About another hour!"
"Inform the local police! Hopefully, the child wasn’t taken off at the last stop and we can find them before the next stop."
The train police nodded; Qin Yi’s blindness meant he couldn’t have stolen the child.
The entire train staff began an emergency search. Moreover, the broadcast repeated pleas for whoever took the child to return them.
Everyone on the train was aware of this incident.
Some kind-hearted passengers began to help voluntarily.
There was zero tolerance among people for child traffickers.
Kidnapping a child not only destroys the child’s life but also ruins a family.
"Qin Yi, let’s help search too."
Qin Yi was surprised, "You hate that man so much, and you still want to help them find their child?"
"That man is indeed hateful, but the child is innocent. Those two babies are very cute; I don’t want them harmed."
Qin Yi nodded slightly. Liu Yiren had a bit of a spoiled temperament, but her heart was kind.
"Let’s go, we’ll help search too!"
Since Xia Yanbing’s miscarriage, Qin Yi was very sensitive about the word "child."
To him, the person who took that couple’s child deserved the same fate as the one who caused Xia Yanbing’s miscarriage.
"Qin Yi, where do we start?"
"The dining car!"
When the two arrived at the dining car, they happened to run into one of the two train police from earlier.
"Sir, your eyes are inconvenient..."
Qin Yi waved his hand to interrupt him, "Did you check what those two ate?"
"We did! You were right; someone drugged the water they drank."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, his mind racing, "It was mealtime then, there should have been many people dining here. Not to mention staff; stealing a child under everyone’s nose suggests an experienced criminal with strong nerves."
"Check who was sitting at the table next to that couple back then."
"Why the table next to them? Why not front or back?" the police officer asked.
Qin Yi explained, "The couple was sitting face-to-face, so front or back meant they could only drug one of them, the other was too far to reach. But someone at the next table was separated by only an aisle, which is for people to walk, they could rise and find a chance to drug them without drawing attention."
The officer nodded, "I’ll go find witnesses right away to see if anyone noticed who their neighboring diner was."
"No need, just ask the couple, they should have an impression of the people next to them."
After the police officer left, Liu Yiren asked, "Qin Yi, what do we do now?"
"The previous stop was made. I’m worried the children are no longer on the train."
Qin Yi sighed, "Now we can only search from carriage to carriage, hoping that heaven will show mercy on these little lives, and they’re still on the train."
