Another two hours had passed since the search began.
Still nothing was found.
Everyone thought there was no hope for Gu Yusheng, but Qin Zhi 'ai didn't want to face it. She stubbornly stayed by the river and refused to leave.
Seeing that she didn't leave, the people from the public security department were too embarrassed to leave, so they could only accompany her.
The middle-aged police officer, who had been following Qin Zhi 'ai, saw her bare feet and bruises. It was cold by the river at night, and her lips had turned purple from the cold. He couldn't bear to see her like this, so he arranged for an intern to go to the supermarket not far away.
The intern bought a pair of shoes, a big bag of bread, and water.
The middle-aged policeman handed the shoes to Qin Zhi 'ai. After walking for most of the night, Qin Zhi' ai was exhausted. She sat by the river and stared blankly at the river in front of her. Seeing the shoes, she softly said, "Thank you." After putting the shoes on, she didn't move again.
After working overtime for so long, everyone was starving, so they wolfed down the food to fill their stomachs.
Seeing that Qin Zhi 'ai didn't respond, the middle-aged policeman walked to her with a bottle of water and a piece of bread. After sitting down, he handed them to her. "Eat something."
Qin Zhi 'ai shook her head and didn't speak, as if she was mute.
She stared at the river and listened to the sound of the flowing water. Suddenly, she thought of the scene when he called her in the afternoon.
"I just booked a plane ticket to Shanghai."
"Are you coming to see me?"
"Yes, I'm going to see you."
"When will you arrive? I'll pick you up."
"Little troublemaker, are you feeling better?"
"Little troublemaker, I'm sorry."
"Little troublemaker, be careful."
"Little troublemaker …"
"See you later."
He said he would see me later. Why hasn't he come to see me yet?
Tears welled up in Qin Zhi 'ai's eyes once again. Like pearls from a broken necklace, big drops rolled down her cheeks.
The middle-aged police officer wanted to persuade Qin Zhi 'ai to eat more, but when he saw her suddenly crying, he couldn't say anything.
It was very quiet on the bank. After the group of people had eaten and drank, no one left. They just helplessly looked at Qin Zhi 'ai, who was silently crying.
The wind was getting stronger, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Qin Zhi 'ai was shivering all over, and even the group of men who were searching for Qin Zhi' ai felt their teeth chattering.
Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, and after spending the entire night by the river, someone finally couldn't help but say, "We've already searched dozens of miles downstream, but we haven't seen anyone. There's a 90% chance that it's hopeless."
As soon as he spoke, the others followed suit.
"That small waterfall has quite a big whirlpool. Even boats can't sail steadily, let alone people falling in."
"That's the most dangerous part of the river. A few people die every year."
"Looking for a needle in a haystack? It's too difficult to find it. We can only wait. Wait for the corpse to float up. Maybe someone will find it somewhere."
"Boss, let's retreat. We've been searching for twelve hours."
The middle-aged policeman sitting next to Qin Zhi 'ai cleared his throat, turned to look at Qin Zhi' ai, and said, "It's not that we're heartless. We've tried our best to find him, but we still haven't found him. We can't keep wasting time like this."
After a pause, the middle-aged policeman continued, "As you can see, we've spent the whole night with you. Some things have to be faced with reality."
