Su Qingqing: "It's the story that the director's mother told me about the famine years, when some people ate Guanyin soil and human flesh."
Su Mianmian remembered this and nodded, "Well, what's wrong?"
Su Qingqing glanced at Su Mianmian and said, "You are so stupid! Why did that man only put his two arms in the package and give it to that old woman?"
Su Mianmian's eyes widened. "You mean..."
Su nodded gently, "I'm just guessing based on the story the dean's mother told me. We don't know if there was such a thing as cannibalism."
Su Mianmian was frightened by her idea. "Impossible! Even though the villagers still don't have enough to eat, it's not as serious as during the famine."
Su Qingqing suddenly thought of what the dean's mother had said. After hearing what Su Mianmian said, she nodded and said, "That's right."
Little Ayan stayed in bed and listened to the two people talking, and he was no longer sleepy.
"Sister, does anyone really eat children?"
His sudden voice startled Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing.
Su Mianmian looked at him, "Aren't you asleep?"
Little Ayan nodded and said, "Yes, I fell asleep, but I heard you two talking in a daze, and I couldn't fall asleep anymore."
Su Qingqing tucked the corner of the quilt for him and said, "Then you can't sleep on the table during class this afternoon!"
Little Ayan's eyes widened. "No, Ayan, that's not the case. Only Naitangtang is naughty. He always sleeps in class and doesn't listen at all."
Su Mianmian patted Xiao Ayan gently, "Okay, okay, go to sleep quickly. Your sister Qingqing and I will stop talking. Let's sleep together."
The little guy closed his eyes obediently.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes again, "Sister, is there really someone who eats children? I'm a little scared."
Su Qingqing was a little confused. "Huh? What do you mean by eating children?"
Xiao Ayan took their hands and said, "That's what you just said."
Su Mianmian understood that he had connected the two things they had just said together, and it ended up being about someone eating children.
Su Mianmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No one would eat a child. Our Ah Yan is such a cute baby. I don't even know how to cherish him. How could I eat him?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Xiao Ayan closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.
After waking up from their afternoon nap, the three siblings went to work or class.
The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the three siblings returned home to cook.
After cooking, I waited for a long time. It was almost eight o'clock, but Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan had not returned yet.
Little Ayan looked around, then looked at the dining table, and asked in confusion, "Sister, aren't Brother Yuan and Brother Qin coming back today?"
Su Mianmian nodded. "Probably. Let's not wait any longer. Let's eat."
Little Ayan nodded and concentrated on eating.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing were both feeling uneasy and had no appetite.
Little Ayan was eating happily, but he became even more confused when he saw the two of them acting like this. "Sister, Sister Qingqing, why aren't you eating?"
After hearing this, the two nodded and started eating with Xiao Ayan.
After dinner, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing washed the dishes and went back to the room to sleep.
…
Several days passed like this, and it was not until mid-April that Shen Yuandao and his team made some progress.
"Captain Song, we found it, we found it!" A subordinate ran into Song Qingshan's office rashly.
Song Qingshan glanced at him and asked, "Have you found Fan Wei?"
The subordinates nodded repeatedly, “Yes, that’s Fan Wei, the owner of the courtyard that Comrade Shen mentioned.”
Song Qingshan sat up with a smile on his face. "Quick, take him to the interrogation room. Oh, and bring Xie Wenjun here as well."
After Song Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan, "You two come with me, let's go and try this Fan Wei."
Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan nodded and followed Song Qingshan to the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room
Fan Que was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, looking leisurely. When he saw Shen Yuandao and the others coming in, he smiled kindly at them.
Shen Yuandao frowned as he watched this scene. The last time he stared at him and Old Lady Ma, he found that this man was quite simple and honest. Now it seems that this man is probably pretending.
Song Qingshan ignored him, pulled out a chair and sat down, then said calmly, "Fan Wei, right? Do Xie Wenjun and Xie Wenshu know each other?"
Fan Wei nodded, "Yes, I know them! They are my adopted sons and daughters."
Song Qingshan frowned, "Did you know that the package you gave to Old Lady Ma contained a pair of children's arms?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Wei paused slightly, but soon resumed his carefree demeanor, shook his legs lightly, and said innocently:
"I don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen a toddler's arm before."
The three of them looked at each other and thought that Fan Wei was a cunning guy.
Shen Yuandao looked at him and said word by word: "We found the body of your adopted daughter in the cellar of your yard. Why did you tell your adopted son that your adopted daughter was abducted by human traffickers?"
Although Fan Wei's face seemed calm, a barely perceptible panic flashed in the depths of his brown-black pupils. He responded with forced composure.
"My daughter was abducted. I don't know why she ended up in my cellar."
Just then, the door was pushed open and Xie Wenjun rushed in with a heart full of anger and grief, his voice trembling slightly with emotional excitement.
"You're talking nonsense! I saw you take the package out of the house with my own eyes. How could you not know that my sister's arm was in the package?
How could you not know that your sister's body was in the cellar?
Why did you lie to me and say that my sister was abducted by human traffickers?"
Xie Wenjun's eyes were burning with rage. He couldn't believe that the man who had once given him a little warmth was such a cruel person.
He approached Fan Wei step by step, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:
"You've always hated your sister and even wanted to sell her, right? Now, you've finally succeeded and killed her! She was just a tiny little thing, how could you have the heart to do that!"
Facing his adopted son's accusations, Fan Wei maintained a cold and calm expression on his face, but a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.
He said calmly, "Why would I kill your sister? She was also the child I raised."
Qin Huaichuan interrupted the conversation at the right time. His voice was cold and pointed. "Don't try to argue. Old Ma has confessed everything."
Hearing this, Fan Wei panicked and his eyes flashed, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Song Qingshan stood aside, his face filled with anger. He sneered, "Old Lady Ma has confessed everything. She admitted that she and you have known each other for a long time, and that you two have been partners in the buying and selling of children for a long time.
Do you think you can conceal all these things?"
