After talking to himself, he stood up, wiped his tears, and prepared to leave.
When Qin Huaichuan and Song Qingshan heard the little boy say this, they looked at each other, and Qin Huaichuan reached out to stop the little boy.
Song Qingshan said, "Let's take the package back to the Public Security Bureau first. Xiaochuan will take the boy with him."
After saying that, Song Qingshan wrapped up the package on the ground and picked it up in his hand. He held the hunchbacked old woman, turned his head and glanced at Shen Yuan and said, "Let's go back first."
Shen Yuandao nodded. He had good eyesight and he saw the scene just now.
Thinking of the honest middle-aged man in the house, he went to the yard first, ready to take the man away, but found that the yard was empty.
…
The other side
After get off work, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing took little Ayan home.
The two of them cooked the meal, and seeing that Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan had not returned, they left some rice in the pot for them.
After the three siblings finished their meal, they looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. Usually, the two of them would have returned by this time.
"Mianmian, do you think anything will happen to them? It's so late and they haven't come back yet." Su Qingqing said with a worried look on her face.
Su Mianmian was watching little Ayan doing his homework and shook her head when she heard this. "No way? They're both quite skilled in fighting and kicking. Something must have delayed them. Don't worry!"
Su Qingqing nodded after listening, "That's true."
Little Ayan bit his pencil and said in a daze, "Don't worry, Sister Qingqing, Brother Ayuan and Brother Qin are amazing."
After hearing what the two said, Su Qingqing was no longer worried. She touched little Ayan's head, picked up the candy on the table and started to rub it.
At half past eight, the gate suddenly rang.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing looked at each other, and quietly left the house for fear of waking up the sleeping little Ayan.
When I opened the gate, I found it was Xiao Zhang.
"Su Zhiqing, little Su Zhiqing, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." There was a hint of apology in Xiao Zhang's voice.
He continued, "Su Zhiqing, could you please help me pack some clothes for Comrade Shen and Comrade Qin. They may not be back for a few days."
Su Qingqing's face turned pale when she heard this. She suddenly grabbed Xiao Zhang's sleeve, her voice full of worry.
"Are they both... okay? Are they in any danger?"
Su Mianmian also looked at Xiao Zhang with concern.
Xiao Zhang quickly reassured them, "We're not in danger. It's just that there's a big case at the bureau, and we might be a bit busy lately, so we can't get back in time."
Hearing this, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in their hearts fell to the ground temporarily.
Su Mianmian patted Su Qingqing's shoulder, signaling her to calm down, then looked at Xiao Zhang, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, we will clean up immediately. Come in and have a cup of hot water and wait a moment."
Su Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Comrade Xiao Zhang, go inside and have a drink of water. Qingqing and I will go over there to pack up. We'll be there soon."
Xiao Zhang thought about it and nodded, then stayed in the yard without going in. Su Mianmian ran in, poured him a glass of water, and then took Su Qingqing to pack clothes.
Soon the two returned to the Yun family with a suitcase. Xiao Zhang quickly took the suitcase and put it in the trunk, then waved to the two and drove away.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing returned to the house. Knowing that Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan would not come tonight, they went to bed and fell asleep.
…
"I really don't know, old lady. I didn't know this was in the package..."
Song Qingshan looked calmly at the hunchbacked old woman in front of him, oh, should it be the old woman Ma.
"Old Ma, are you sure you're not telling the truth?"
Old Lady Ma stiffened her neck. "I said I didn't know. Can you police officers force me, a woman in her fifties or sixties, to do this?"
Shen Yuandao glanced at Old Lady Ma calmly, "Is Ma Wei your son?"
The old woman's first reaction was to nod, but then she quickly shook her head.
Song Qingshan's face turned cold, "Yes or no?"
This time, Old Lady Ma shook her head.
Shen Yuandao looked up at him and said calmly, "Ma Wei is not your son, why did you come out of his yard? Also, you and the middle-aged man next door seem very familiar with each other, it doesn't seem like the first time you met."
Mrs. Ma's composure instantly vanished. "How did you know I came out of the yard?"
Shen Yuandao smiled slightly, “I’ll lie on the roof of the house opposite you, and I’ll ask my companions to stop you.”
But he didn't hear what the old woman and the middle-aged man said at all.
The old woman's face changed drastically, and upon closer inspection, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
She shook her head desperately to deny it, "No, I don't know. I bought meat from that man before, and I came here to buy meat this time too."
"So, where is your son Ma Weiren now?" Song Qingshan asked again.
Old Ma shook her head again, "Old Ma, I don't know Ma Wei."
Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan nodded, not knowing whether they believed it or not.
Song Qingshan patted Shen Yuandao, then turned and left the interrogation room.
Shen Yuandao followed him out.
"Let's go. We can't get any information from this old woman for now. Let's go and see how Xiaochuan and Xiaojiang are doing." Song Qingshan said to Shen Yuandao who was walking behind.
…
"You said your father has always wanted to sell your sister?"
"Yes. But I kept stopping her. Yesterday, my sister had a stomachache, so my dad and I took her to the doctor. When we weren't paying attention, she disappeared. My dad and I couldn't find her, and he said she was kidnapped by human traffickers."
When they reached the office door, they heard the little boy's sad voice.
When they walked in, they saw the little boy sitting alone on a chair, tears falling like beads from a broken string, dripping onto his clothes, forming dark marks.
Qin Huaichuan couldn't bear it, so he comforted her, "Don't be sad, we will definitely find the murderer and avenge your sister."
When he heard the word "revenge", he didn't feel any comfort. Instead, it was as if the deepest pain in his heart was touched, and he broke down and burst into tears.
"No! That's not my sister! She...she must be alive! She's not dead!"
In fact, the little boy knew in his heart that the two arms in the package belonged to his sister, but he didn't want to believe it.
Qin Huaichuan was about to say something when he was stopped by Shen Yuandao.
Song Qingshan glanced at the female police officer beside him and said, "Xiao Jiang."
Xiao Jiang nodded, walked over, held the little boy in his arms and coaxed him gently.
After a while, the little boy stopped crying. He lowered his head and said nothing. His eyes were empty and confused, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Seeing this, Shen Yuandao changed the subject, "Where is your father?"
The little boy shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know... When I came out to look for my sister, he was still in the yard. Then... then I was brought here."
