River scratched the back of his head. "I'm too busy, too tired, or sometimes I just don't want to come. I can't tell you the specific reason."
Jos's family There were several parasols and tables and chairs in the open space in front of the door.
But there was no one at these tables and chairs.
There were no lights even in the mobile home.
Su Xiao looked at the River and said, "Is there no one there?"
"No, since Randy disappeared, she didn't even go to work. She stayed at home every day waiting for news."
Su Xiao followed River into the house. When they were approaching the kitchen, they both heard a tired and anxious female voice calling.
"Yes, yes, I know I just went to the police station in the morning, but I wonder if it's already night now. You may have found clues about my child."
"Not yet? Well, if there is any news about him, please inform me as soon as possible, okay? I'm at home and will answer the phone anytime, anywhere. Thank you."
In the kitchen, a woman with a face that couldn't hide her fatigue put down the phone in her hand. She glanced at the River and Su Xiao who came in from the outside. She was startled for a moment, and then said.
"River, you either have something serious to do, or my Randy has news, otherwise you wouldn't come to my place."
River introduced his sister, "Joss, this is Su."
Joss turned to look at Su Xiao.
"Su,
Did something happen to my Randy?"
While in the car, River had asked not to tell Joss about Randy's kidnapping, so Su Xiao shook his head without saying a word.
"You don't know, or you can't tell?"
River found a chair and sat down. For some reason, he had obviously said not to tell Joss the truth before.
As a result, at this moment, he was acting strangely, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and began to tell the truth.
"Joss, I... I don't know what to say, but Randy... he was kidnapped."
Sure enough, Joss seemed to be frightened and immediately panicked.
"Kidnapping? He is still alive, right?" Seeing River remain silent, Joss couldn't help but become anxious, "River! You are talking!"
Seeing River being scolded by his own sister and having nothing to say, Su Xiao had no choice but to come to his rescue.
"The person who kidnapped Randy has been caught by the NCPD. He was shot once and is now lying in a coma in the hospital."
Seeing Su Xiao speak, Joss turned around and asked, "Where is Randy?"
When my sister makes things difficult for me, River can remain silent.
But when his boss was making things difficult for his sister, River had to speak up.
As Randy's uncle, River has always felt guilty for Randy's disappearance.
Just like he said when they were outside.
He used to come every week, but then he stopped coming.
Ever since Randy disappeared, River has been blaming herself.
If he could often take time out to see Randy and them, maybe Randy wouldn't be like that.
Therefore, when Joss questioned himself, River was willing to let Joss vent his emotions.
But now, River saw that Joss had a vague desire to transfer his emotions to Su Xiao.
Then he had to speak.
Not only because Su Xiao is now his boss, but also because Su Xiao was called by him to help.
I have already troubled others enough, and it is really a bit ignorant to complain in front of others.
"Joss, we are still looking for him..."
"Come to my house?"
Joss didn't understand what River meant at all.
Or maybe, she heard it, but now she just wants to find someone to quarrel with.
Otherwise, facing this empty house, she would go crazy sooner or later.
Although Su Xiao could understand Joss's feelings, he still said, "Stop making things difficult for the River. Arguing can't solve any problems."
Joss immediately said loudly, "He is my son! It is not your turn to tell me what my attitude is!"
Su Xiao sneered.
"You still know it's your son?! River is Randy's uncle, not Randy's father. He dropped everything to help you find your son, and you treat him like this?!"
Joss was choked up when he heard this.
Su Xiao's words were very reasonable and she couldn't refute them.
"You..."
But Su Xiao is not ready to let her go.
If Joss was willing to have a good talk at the beginning, then Su Xiao would naturally not say anything.
But it was clearly her fault for not taking good care of her son (although there were objective reasons), but she put the blame on others, especially the family members who helped her...
Then Su Xiao is not used to it.
"What are you! Let me tell you, Joss, I can't understand your mood at this moment. I have not only seen the pain of a mother who lost her child, but I can also feel it."
"But! Just because I'm willing to help a mother find her child doesn't mean I can tolerate a bitch using me as a punching bag!"
Joss was refuted and speechless.
"I..."
Su Xiao snorted and continued.
"What am I? If you think what I said is wrong, you can go to any police station in the city and tell the police officers about your attitude towards the River just now. See if they ignore you."
"You have to figure it out, Joss! It's your child who is missing. When you ask for help, you have to show an attitude of asking for help instead of acting as if everyone owes you."
Seeing that Joss was like a balloon that was getting more and more inflated and might explode at any time, River said quickly.
"Su, thank you for speaking for me, but let me handle this. Please go out first, okay? Please."
Chapter 280: Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite (3K)
Looking at the River's pleading expression clearly written on his face, Su Xiao nodded, left the kitchen, and walked outside.
When Su Xiao left, only Joss and River were left in the kitchen.
Joss's face was red and he didn't speak, he just stood there.
The air seemed very quiet.
"Joss..."
River spoke with some embarrassment.
"River, you don't need to say anymore, your friend is right, it's me who is wrong, I..."
Joss covered his face, then turned around, his back to the River.
"I'm sorry, because Randy has been missing for a long time. He ran away from home before and has never been away for such a long time. That's why I lost control of my emotions. It's my fault to vent my anger on you. Please forgive me."
Joss's proactive apology made River feel a lot better, who originally blamed himself and felt guilty.
he comforted.
"No, how can I blame you, Joss? The blame should also be on that bastard Anthony Harris. If it weren't for him, Randy would be
His whereabouts will not be unknown."
Joss nodded.
Under Su Xiao's words that were like a wake-up call, Joss suddenly woke up.
Only then did he realize that River is the only person who can help him and is willing to help him.
She really shouldn't treat River with this attitude.
The disappearance of Randy is not the responsibility of the River, and River should not be blamed.
Joss thought clearly and gradually calmed down, she said, "River, tell me the truth, Randy is he already dead?"
"No." River answered quickly.
Joss shook his head. "River, don't lie to me."
Joss Although she can only work at the lowest level, she is not stupid.
The criminal is in a coma now. Neither River nor the NCPD can learn from the criminal the whereabouts of the other missing children.
Moreover, it was said on TV that the child who was with the criminal was injected with so many drugs when he was discovered.
How can Randy, who was kidnapped together with that child, fare better?
The worst outcome may be that he is dead like the child.
Even if he is still alive, they don't know where Randy is being held. How long will it take to find Randy? If it takes too long, Randy will also be dead.
"Joss, I am a police detective. Don't you still believe in my professionalism? Although Randy has not been found yet, my intuition tells me that Randy is still alive."
Joss stared at the River, whose face was full of assurance, and finally nodded.
"I believe you."
River breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to Randy, River is most worried about Joss.
River doesn't know whether Randy is still alive now, but what he knows is that Joss has to hold on.
If she collapses, her other two children will really be doomed.
"Joss, we came here to take a look at Randy's things, and we might find some clues."
"Well, okay, no problem."
"Thank you."
River said some more words of encouragement and comfort, and then he was ready to leave. He could not waste any more time.
If they are lucky and find clues in Randy's room, they may be able to find Randy soon.
When River walked out of the kitchen, Joss's voice suddenly came from behind. "River."
When River looked over with doubtful eyes, Joss lowered his head and whispered, "Apologise to me and Su."
River nodded solemnly and comforted.
"I will, but you don't have to take it too seriously. Su is not the kind of person with a small belly."
"Who said I'm not a small-minded person?"
In the open space outside Randy's house, after listening to the River's apology on behalf of Joss, Su Xiao spread his hands and asked.
"Ah?" River was confused.
Su Xiao said with a smile, "At least after we get Randy back, she will cook a table of delicious food and reward us well, then I can forgive her."
"It turns out it's just this. I thought..." River breathed a sigh of relief, "I can guarantee that it will happen. The food Joss cooks is very delicious. We will definitely invite you over then."
Randy lives in a mobile home not far away.
It can be seen that although Joss does not have so much time to take care of Randy, her love for Randy is no less than that of her other two children.
Joss lives in a mobile home with two children, but Randy has another mobile home to herself.
Although Randy lost his father when he was young, coupled with his poor background and rebellious period, he gradually learned bad things.
There are certain objective factors in this.
But even so, mother Joss did her best and gave Randy everything she could.
But Randy did not understand her mother's good intentions and only cared about her own feelings.
It is indeed too ignorant.
