"Ma'am, can you please provide more details? What is your daughter's name? What are her basic details, and where did she disappear from? How long has she been missing?" the officer asked.
Xia Zhiqiu provided the basic information, then added, "Yesterday she went to some cruise ship party and hasn't come back yet."
The officer suddenly stopped writing and looked up, "Just one night away?"
Clearly, he viewed this as a minor issue, hardly a problem at all.
"Ma'am, it's quite normal nowadays for young people to go out to parties and not return for one night. You should go home and wait. Your daughter might come back on her own soon. Come back if there's no contact for over 24 hours."
Hearing this, Xia Zhiqiu became anxious. "My daughter is not like the youths you mentioned. She hardly goes out at night, let alone stays out overnight without saying a word. I know her."
