Lin Yating thought for a while and realized that Zhang Rui's disappearance was not a normal event, and it was not something that they, as ordinary high school students, could solve. This involved mysterious adventures, strange phenomena, and a missing friend. They needed greater support and professional help.
Lin Yating frowned, knowing that this decision was not easy. She had read countless stories about mysterious events and missing persons in novels, and now she found herself in the midst of it, feeling the anxiety and helplessness of the real world. Her worry and guilt about Zhang Rui grew stronger, feeling that she was responsible and should do everything possible to find him.
Li Minghan and Yang Dawei looked at Lin Yating, and the worry and tension on their faces gradually turned into determination. Although they had hesitated and been afraid before, at this moment, they understood that they had to face this problem together, because they were friends and also members of the Mystery Research Club.
In the end, Lin Yating emphasized their decision once again: "We must go to the police station immediately to report the case and tell them everything we know. Only then can we have a better chance of finding Zhang Rui. We need the help of the adults."
So, the three of them hurriedly left the classroom, with a mix of anxiety and hope in their hearts, and headed to the police station, hoping to use official search efforts to find their missing friend. The mysterious events they had experienced before had become an unsolvable puzzle, but they were ready to face this challenge.
Arriving at the police station, Lin Yating, Li Minghan, and Yang Dawei worked together to provide detailed information to the police. They described Zhang Rui's disappearance, mentioned their previous adventure to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the strange events that occurred there. However, when the police heard that this was a missing person case, they couldn't help but furrow their brows.
The police glanced at the high school uniforms worn by the three individuals, their expression turning cold. In a stern voice, they said, "You high school students, always disappearing for no reason or attempting suicide. None of you actually dare to do it. It's all just for attention, to make the adults see how hard and pitiful your lives are, how much pressure there is for further education! Let me tell you, real societal pressure is something that even complaining feels exhausting about."
Continuing to scold them severely, the police said, "So I beg of you high school students, if a classmate goes missing, first post a story on Instagram to see if they've read it. If they have, then don't bother us anymore. We have many cases to handle. Thank you!"
The police's words were filled with impatience and sarcasm, and they seemed to hold a skeptical attitude towards this type of report. Lin Yating and Li Minghan exchanged a helpless look with Yang Dawei, and their worries and anxieties were further intensified by each other's attitudes. However, they knew they couldn't give up at this point; Zhang Rui's safety was their top concern.
In the face of the unfriendly attitude of the police, Lin Yating decided to seek help more firmly. She was dissatisfied with the police's response, but also understood the need to handle the situation calmly. She planned to discuss with Li Minghan and Yang Dawei about the next steps, but in any case, they would not easily give up hope of finding Zhang Rui.
Three people persistently continued to communicate with the police, trying to explain the seriousness of the disappearance. However, as the police's attitude became increasingly dissatisfied, he continued to mock and use harsh words. The police's mockery gradually angered the three people.
The police looked at Lin Yating and mockingly said, "Little girl, are you playing a disappearing game? Do you think you're the main character in a detective movie?"
Lin Yating frowned, feeling her patience being pushed to the limit. She responded solemnly, "This is not a game. Our friend is really missing, and we are worried about his safety."
Li Minghan also said angrily, "Mr. Policeman, this is not a time for jokes. We have done our best to describe the situation. Please help us find our friend."
However, the police seemed unmoved, and he sneered, "Oh, have you tried your best? That's really touching. Let me tell you, this scenario of a child lost in the adult world is just a ploy for attention. You don't need to waste our time."
Yang Dawei couldn't tolerate the police officer's sarcasm and angrily retorted, "Mr. Police Officer, your attitude is truly unprofessional! We are genuinely worried about our friend. This is not for attention, but to find a missing person."
The police raised his hand to signal the end of the argument and said coldly, "Alright, that's enough. You don't understand adult matters. Our police station is not a place to deal with children's games. Please go home and do your homework."
Lin Yating's patience was gradually wearing thin, and she finally couldn't help but retort, "Sir, we are genuinely worried about our friend. We are not here to joke around. If you don't want to help, can you tell us who we should seek assistance from?"
Li Minghan and Yang Dawei have also expressed their worries and dissatisfaction. They understand that the police may often deal with false alarms, but this situation is clearly different from common missing person cases. The impatience and ridicule from the police only make them more determined, and they will not easily back down.
As the commotion grows, the entire police station begins to pay attention to the argument. The police's dissatisfaction seems to have reached its peak, and he suddenly slams the table and loudly rebukes, "You troublemakers, don't continue causing trouble in the police station!"
The three of them were startled by this slap, and their previously unwavering attitude was also shaken. They felt despair and were about to leave the police station, giving up hope of finding Zhang Rui. However, at that moment, footsteps were heard from upstairs, and a middle-aged man slowly walked down.
The middle-aged man looked very calm and composed. He said to the police, "Officers, aren't we supposed to serve the people? Even if the subject is a high school student, we should still show professionalism and empathy."
His voice was full of authority and calm, which made the police officers slightly contain their emotions. Other people from the police station also started to gather around, waiting to see how this middle-aged man would handle the situation. The three of them felt a glimmer of hope, hoping that this middle-aged man could help them find their missing friend.
