Chapter 182: Thousand Miles Home 04 Gang
Chapter 4
Will I also...
Lu Changfeng couldn't help but think so.
He didn't suspect that his grandfather was a bad person, but he was wondering if it was possible that he was also stolen, and for some reason, the human traffickers threw him into the trash can, causing him to be separated from his biological parents for decades?
It was hard for Lu Changfeng not to think in this direction. This had been the biggest secret in his heart for so many years. He didn't dare to ask or seek the truth.
Seeing that Lu Changfeng was distracted, Jing Jue could probably guess the reason, so he took over Lu Changfeng's duties and continued to question Lin Feiying.
"Did Lin Cuiying ever tell you why she went to a place thousands of kilometers away?"
Lin Feiying quickly shook her head: "I really didn't say that."
"Do you know that your sister has been looking for fortune tellers everywhere recently?"
"She also believes in fortune-telling?" Lin Feiying was very surprised, but then she thought it made sense: "In recent years, she has started to believe in Buddhism, and even has a statue of Guanyin enshrined at home. Fortune-telling makes sense, but she never told me that she was looking for someone to tell her fortune."
"Aren't you siblings? As her younger brother, you don't know anything about her affairs?" After Lu Changfeng came to his senses, he listened to the questions and answers between Jing Jue and Lin Feiying for a while, and then took over the conversation and asked questions at the right time.
Lin Feiying groaned, "Look at what you said. We are siblings, but we have each been married for 20 or 30 years. We are no longer together. I may not know everything about her, and she may not know everything about me."
Lu Changfeng thought it was reasonable.
When Lin Feiying couldn't get anything else useful out of her, he turned to Lin Cuiying's other brothers and sisters.
It was similar to Lin Cuiying's sister and brother. They either knew nothing about her affairs, or they only knew about insignificant things.
Even these younger brothers and sisters didn’t know that she had followed others to commit fraud in the early years.
After the interrogation, Jing Jue said to Lu Changfeng: "It's reasonable for them not to know. After all, cheating is not something that can be done in public. If you talk about it everywhere, you will have to take the risk of going to jail."
Lu Changfeng nodded.
The most urgent task is to verify whether the child raised in Lin Feiying's sister-in-law's family is Kong Xiaolian's child.
If it is really Kong Xiaolian's child, at least it can help their family reunite, and it can also be regarded as fulfilling Kong Xiaolian's last wish.
There are too many cases where families are broken up due to child trafficking. It is the social progress and technological development, the improvement of laws, and the unremitting efforts of all sectors of society that have gradually reduced the number of child trafficking in today's society.
Society is constantly progressing, and one day, as the law becomes more sound, more vulnerable groups will be taken into consideration.
Lu Changfeng called Lin Feiying's sister-in-law Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan and his family now live in Vietnam Province.
Their son works in a hospital and they named him Yao Wangsheng.
Forget about life, forget about life, and forget the people who gave birth to and raised him.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and it was Zhang Lan himself who answered the phone.
After Lu Changfeng revealed his identity, Zhang Lan asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Is Yao Wangsheng your biological child?"
"Of course." Zhang Lan said with certainty.
Lu Changfeng: "Your brother-in-law Lin Feiying has already told the truth, Zhang Lan, do you think you can keep it secret any longer?"
Zhang Lan was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, so long that Lu Changfeng thought she would not speak again. Zhang Lan still spoke: "Although not a biological child, it is better than a biological child."
"Over the years, our family has never treated him unfairly and has always treated him as our own son."
"Yao Wangsheng's parents may still be looking for him."
Lu Changfeng asked Zhang Lan: "Do you remember how this child came to your home?"
Zhang Lan said: "Of course I remember. It was my brother-in-law's sister who brought the child to my home. She said the child was abandoned and no one wanted it. Knowing that I was infertile, she gave it to us to raise."
"It is very likely that Yao Wangsheng was abducted by Lin Cuiying, and not abandoned as you said."
Lu Changfeng knew that Zhang Lan was not telling the truth. It was impossible for her not to know how the child came about. She just wanted to shirk responsibility.
More than 20 years ago, the social preference for boys over girls was still very serious, and it was unlikely that boys would be abandoned. Most of the abandoned girls were girls, so it is very likely that this child was abducted by Lin Cuiying.
Zhang Lan asked: "Did you find Wang Sheng?"
Lu Changfeng asked her: "Why did you name him Wangsheng?"
"We just hope he forgets about his biological parents who abandoned him."
"He has lived with us for decades, and we have spent so much effort to raise him up. Why on earth do you want to disturb our lives now?" Zhang Lan was very scared. He was afraid that from now on, Wang Sheng would no longer be close to them.
Lu Changfeng said: "If it is true as you said, Yao Wangsheng is an abandoned child, his parents don't want him anymore, and you are his second parents, why should you be afraid?"
"If you didn't know that Yao Wangsheng was abducted, you would treat him as your own child. His parents should be grateful to you for raising this child well, and there would be no need to be afraid."
"Unless... you knew from the beginning that Yao Wangsheng was abducted by Lin Cuiying."
Zhang Lan hung up the phone directly.
Seeing this reaction, Lu Changfeng knew that he had guessed it right.
Yao Wangsheng was abducted from the very beginning, and Zhang Lan and her husband were fully aware of it.
It’s not far from Huaijiang to where Zhang Lan and his family live now.
After some thought, Lu Changfeng directly contacted the local police station and asked them to help collect Yao Wangsheng's DNA and compare it in the database to see if it could match Kong Xiaolian's DNA.
Jing Jue said: "If Yao Wangsheng is really Kong Xiaolian's lost son, then it means that Lin Cuiying is the real murderer who abducted Kong Xiaolian's son, and the hatred between her and Kong Xiaolian is clear. But how did the judge know that Lin Cuiying abducted Kong Xiaolian's son?"
Lu Changfeng was also very confused. How did the murderer know where Kong Xiaolian’s grave was?
Lu Changfeng sent a message to Zhou Yu, asking him to help check whether Kong Xiaolian's family affairs had been reported in the newspaper.
Kong Xiaolian's youngest daughter is a social reporter. It is possible that she has searched for her brother through the Internet and may have exposed her address as a result.
After Zhou Yu helped them search online, they actually found out that Kong Xiaolian's youngest daughter had indeed posted a missing relatives notice online, and described in detail the clothes her brother was wearing and his appearance when he was missing, and also posted a video of them returning home to worship their ancestors.
The video clearly shows Kong Xiaolian's grave and the surrounding terrain.
There is a centralized cemetery in the village, so tombstones are not particularly difficult to find.
Jing Jue thought about it and felt that the only reasonable explanation was that Lin Cuiying herself knew very well that the person she had abducted was Kong Xiaolian's son.
Only in this way can we reasonably explain why Lin Cuiying died in front of Kong Xiaolian's tomb.
Based on the existing clues, Lu Changfeng made a bold deduction, "The story might be like this: Lin Cuiying's son had a car accident and didn't wake up for a long time. She went to find a fortune teller, who asked her if she had done anything wrong. She thought of the bad things she had done, so she traveled thousands of kilometers to seek forgiveness from Kong Xiaolian."
Jing Jue thought about it and felt that Lu Changfeng's inference was reasonable. "Then there is a very critical question now. How did the murderer, that is, the judge, know that Lin Cuiying had wronged Kong Xiaolian?"
"There is only one possibility. Whoever Lin Cuiying asks to have her fortune told is the judge." Lu Changfeng answered him.
Jing Jue couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation than this.
Lu Changfeng: "Now we have to see whether the DNA test of Yao Wangsheng and Kong Xiaolian can prove their parent-child relationship. Once it is established, everything will make sense."
Jing Jue thought of what Kong Xiaolian's daughter had said, "Didn't Lin Feiying say that Lin Cuiying followed a group of people to cheat people for money under the guise of performing? Kong Xiaolian's eldest daughter said that Lin Cuiying seemed to have stayed at their house for one night. This also makes sense. If Lin Cuiying really stayed at Kong Xiaolian's house back then, it makes sense that Kong Xiaolian's eldest daughter would have some impression of her."
"Can one person really have such a profound impact on someone who stayed at his home for one night 20 years ago?" Jing Jue found this a little unbelievable.
Lu Changfeng didn't know either, he didn't have that ability.
Unless something particularly important happens.
Jing Jue: "If Kong Xiaolian's eldest daughter remembers correctly, combined with the phone call Lin Cuiying made from Chongyang back home, it is enough to prove that she was in Yuexi Province during that period. It is possible that Lin Cuiying really knew whose child she stole."
"Kong Xiaolian lost her son when she was taking him to the market in town. At that time, criminal investigation technology was not well developed, so it was not difficult for Lin Cuiying to bring the child home." The more Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue analyzed it, the more reasonable it seemed.
In the evening, Zhou Yu and Yue Fanglin came back, and Captain Wang also came back. The several parties gathered together to exchange information.
Yue Fanglin said: "Xiao Zhou and I visited the neighbors near Kong Xiaolian's home today and got a clue that a lot of things were lost in their village that year. It was said that a troupe of actors who were performing in the countryside passed by and stayed overnight in their local area. Many people lost money in their homes. After counting every household, it turned out that about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan was lost."
"We called the police, but this kind of thing happened frequently in rural areas at the time, and the transportation network was not well developed, so we couldn't track down the thieves. We also couldn't find the thieves by reconstructing the portraits of the troupe members based on the villagers' descriptions."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Is the picture of your appearance still there?"
"The picture is gone, but the case file was found in the police station."
Zhou Yu projected the file onto the big screen.
Lu Changfeng found a photo of Lin Cuiying when she was young and compared it with one of the suspects. "The one with the mole in the eyebrow should be Lin Cuiying."
Yue Fanglin said: "I also showed them Lin Cuiying's photo. After so many years, many people said they couldn't remember clearly and couldn't be sure."
Jing Jue: "If it really was Lin Cuiying, and Lin Cuiying didn't live in their house, it's normal that she can't remember it."
Lu Changfeng shared some of the information they found with others.
After listening to this, everyone felt that Lin Cuiying was in the same group with them back then.
Zhou Yu said: "The current situation shows that none of the thieves in this group were caught, otherwise they would have been investigated long ago."
"That doesn't mean there haven't been any who have been caught." Lu Changfeng said, "Once thieves become addicted to stealing, they won't stop and work hard. I guess some of them may have been caught, but no one mentioned these past events."
