Shen Yuandao nodded, and he continued to ask: "Is your father familiar with the old woman today?"
The little boy thought about it and nodded: "Well...that old woman often comes to our house to buy meat."
Shen Yuandao and Song Qingshan looked at each other, and what the old woman said matched, but why was the package containing a child's arm?
At this time, someone knocked on the office door, and Song Qingshan opened the door and walked out.
The subordinate looked at Song Qingshan and said, "Captain Song, find Ma Weiwei."
Song Qingshan nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'll personally take Ma Wei to the director later. And have you found the boy's father?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help but show a helpless look on his face, "Not yet, we've been waiting everywhere but haven't seen anyone."
Just as the atmosphere fell into silence, the subordinate's next words exploded like thunder.
"However...we made a new discovery in the courtyard that Public Security Shen mentioned. We discovered a hidden cellar, and inside it was the body of a three-year-old girl without arms."
Song Qingshan's face instantly turned ashen, his pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, "What?"
The subordinate nodded angrily and continued, "What's worse is that after preliminary comparison, we found that the rest of the girl's body matches the two arms in the package. We can confirm that they are the same person."
Song Qingshan clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
He tried to calm his inner turmoil and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I understand. You continue to search for the man who owns that courtyard. Don't miss any clues. Also, I need to see the girl's body myself."
After saying that, Song Qingshan turned around and went back to the office, his eyes sweeping over the people in the office.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "It's getting late now, you guys should take the child to eat something first, the child can't starve.
Remember to come back before 11pm, we have some things to discuss."
After hearing this, several people nodded. Xiao Jiang held the little boy's hand. Just as they were about to go out, they heard Song Qingshan say again.
"Remember to get something to eat for the old woman."
Several people responded and left the office.
After a while, the office door was gently pushed open, and the subordinate walked in with Ma Wei.
Ma Wei was firmly controlled by two police officers. His face was pale and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
Song Qingshan walked forward, looked at Ma Wei with a sharp gaze, then turned and walked towards the director's office.
"Director, the person has been found." Song Qingshan stood in front of the director's desk and saluted respectfully.
The director raised his head, looking away from the documents in his hand, nodded gently, and gestured for Song Qingshan to sit down. "I understand. I'll have someone escort him to the county later."
He paused and asked, "By the way, have you made any progress on the case you discovered today?"
Song Qingshan's expression instantly became solemn. He shook his head slightly, a trace of sadness locked between his brows.
"No. But our people made another discovery. They found the body of a three-year-old girl without an arm.
After preliminary comparison, the body and the two arms in the package are completely consistent, and it can be confirmed that they are the same girl."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the director's office froze instantly.
The director stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger. He slammed the table hard, and the loud noise echoed in the empty office.
"How abhorrent!" the director roared, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger and grief. "Who is so cruel and heartless as to do such a cruel thing to a three-year-old child? It is simply unforgivable!"
"Go find him quickly. Put aside all your recent work and get to the bottom of this case first. Give this innocent child an explanation, and give society an explanation, too!"
"Yes, Chief."
After saying this, Song Qingshan turned and left.
…
The next day, after Su Mianmian sent little Ayan to the classroom, she walked slowly towards the office. As soon as she arrived at the office door, she heard Principal Huang and several others discussing.
"Yeah! Who is so cruel that he didn't even spare a three-year-old child? He chopped off both arms."
"Yes, yes. The main thing is that I heard that the man of the house sold his two arms to an old woman who came to buy meat."
"I think this little girl was probably killed by her father."
Su Miannian was confused and walked in to ask, "Principal, what happened?"
Principal Huang looked at Su Mianmian seriously. "Something happened at the commune. A three-year-old girl was tortured and killed. The police went to the alley to arrest someone yesterday, and Lele's father ran into them on his way home from get off work."
Su Mianmian's face changed. It turned out that this was the case of their Public Security Bureau.
Principal Huang continued, "We heard from people in the alley that someone saw the little girl's father give a package to an old woman. The police saw the package fall to the ground and discovered that it contained two small arms."
Su Mianmian frowned. Even if her father was patriarchal, he wouldn't kill the baby, right?
"Where is the little girl's father?"
Teacher Gao, standing by, was furious. "The girl's father ran away, so I said the girl was probably killed by her own father. The man fled because he feared the crime."
"Hiss, but why?" Su Mianmian was very puzzled.
Teacher Gao snorted coldly and said, "A friend of mine lives in that alley. My friend told me that man is not the little girl's biological father. He brought a boy and a girl, a brother and sister, from somewhere."
Su Mianmian frowned, "That man favors boys over girls?"
Teacher Gao nodded. "That's right! That man looks honest, but in private he beats the little girl whenever he's unhappy. Luckily, the little girl has her brother to protect her. I didn't expect that this time he would directly..."
Principal Huang sighed, "That little girl is cute and well-behaved, fair and clean, and very lovable. I didn't expect..."
Principal Huang's expression grew more serious as he spoke. "You must take good care of the children when you return home. There's a high chance something like this will happen again."
Su Mianmian nodded, "I understand, Principal."
Soon, the bell rang and the first teacher went to class. Su Mianmian was preparing a lesson plan, but she couldn't concentrate because she thought of what happened just now.
She stood up and went to little Ayan's classroom. Seeing little Ayan sitting obediently on the chair and listening to the class, nodding his head from time to time, she smiled knowingly and went back to the office.
…
"Mianmian, do you remember the story that the dean's mother told you?"
Su Mianmian was telling Su Qingqing about what happened in the commune. Even when she heard Su Qingqing ask this question, she was a little confused for a moment.
"What's the story?"
