Chapter 267: The Holy Eucharist of Innate Punishment

Shen Yuan quietly tugged at the corner of her father's clothes under the table. She felt as if she knew something extraordinary...

After returning to the duty room, Shen Yuan said to her father: "Dad, I think we should go back to interrogate Wang Hongyun. It's easier to make a breakthrough there."

Shen Yun looked at his daughter's expression and came up with a plan. "Tell me, what do you know now?"

"Dad, please listen to me and I will tell you slowly." Shen Yuan sorted out his thoughts and tried to make the matter as simple as possible.

"Wang Hongyun 'said': 'Let you all laugh at me for not being able to have children! You should be like me, childless!' But in Da'er's confession, it was actually mentioned that they had a child. Although it was just a brief mention, it was also true. So where did this child come from? When I interrogated Liao Chunfa, I deliberately said that he was infertile to provoke him. Although he held back from saying it, he couldn't hold back in his heart. Liao Chunfa 'said': Xiaorui is my child. Wang Hongyun is a stupid woman who can't even have a child. If she wasn't still useful, I would have divorced her and married Xiaorui's mother long ago."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, she asked her father: "Dad, is this true? Xiao Rui is the child of Liao Chunfa and another woman, but he lied to Wang Hongyun and said that he adopted the child from somewhere else. Wang Hongyun couldn't have children, so she was devoted to Liao Chunfa. But Liao Chunfa actually just wanted to use Wang Hongyun to help him steal the child!"

Shen Yun followed his daughter's line of thought and continued, "If Wang Hongyun knew the child's true origin, would he still be so stubborn and refuse to speak?"

"That's it! Dad, they are both from Yufeng Town, Gyeongheung County, Gyeonggi Province. It will take more than an hour to get there by express horse from the capital. You can have someone bring the child here. When Wang Hongyun sees the child and finds out about this, he will probably be even angrier, right? And who knows, maybe we can find out who the woman is."

"Not bad, you are very knowledgeable when talking about the case, even better than your father was back then." Shen Yun smiled and praised his daughter, then instructed, "I'll ask Si Zhi to go to Yufeng Town."

Shen Yuan thought of something and stood up and said, "Dad, don't rush to ask Si Zhi to leave. I'm going to see Lei Rong."

Although Shen Yun didn't know what his daughter was going to do, he didn't stop her. About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yun had just explained the case to Tao Sizhi and asked him to take people to Yufeng Town. Fearing that Tao Sizhi couldn't handle the child, he specifically asked him to bring two more people. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan knocked on the door.

"I have met Temple Minister Shen, and I have met Lord Sizhi." Shen Yuan came in and saluted solemnly. Everyone in the Dali Temple knew that Shen Yuan was the daughter of the Temple Minister. Seeing her address Lord Shen so solemnly, Tao Si intuitively found it very funny. He held back his laughter before standing up and nodding to Shen Yuan, "Master Shen is polite."

Shen Yun also cooperated: "What's the matter, Painter Shen?"

Shen Yuan said, "I just went to see the prisoner Lei Rong and asked him to describe the child's appearance, so that the Lord Sizhi will have a reference when he is looking for someone."

Tao Sizhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Painter Shen."

Shen Yun saw that she seemed to have another portrait in her hand, so he asked her, "Whose is the other one?"

"This portrait was drawn by me based on the child's appearance. It may be the child's biological mother's appearance. However, this is just a guess and it may not be similar. I asked Lei Rong and he said that there should be no such person in the town. You can just take a look at it casually, sir."

The child's appearance, except for the mouth which is somewhat similar to Liao Chunfa, is not similar to Liao Chunfa in other places. Since he doesn't look like his father, he may look like his mother. Shen Yuan simply tried to draw a picture of a woman, but this is not accurate. Some children may not look like anyone. Shen Yuan himself did not expect the child's mother to look like this.

Tao Sizhi is also quite interesting. People were afraid that Tao Sizhi wouldn't be able to take care of the child so they asked him to bring a few more people with him. He is quite capable. In addition to the constables from the Dali Temple, he turned around and brought Granny Ge, who cooked in the kitchen. Granny Ge never thought that after working in the Dali Temple for half her life, she would have to go on a business trip again.

Tao Sizhi first went to the Qingxing County government office to find the local county magistrate, and asked the magistrate to send someone to take him to Yufeng Town to find Liao Chunfa. The Qingxing County magistrate was almost 50 years old, and every day he did nothing but eat and sleep and wait to retire. When he suddenly heard that there was a group of traffickers in his jurisdiction, the old magistrate was so scared that he fainted on the spot. Tao Sizhi thought he was going to kill someone as soon as he set foot in Qingxing County. Fortunately, after two injections, the old man recovered.

But after all the hassles, it took more than half an hour to leave the county office and head to Yufeng Town. Fortunately, it wasn't too far from Qingxing County to Yufeng Town, and it only took about half an hour.

Yufeng Town is a small town, and you can find out where Liao Chunfa lives with a little inquiry.

Tao Sizhi and Granny Ge, together with two detectives from the Dali Temple and two detectives from the county government, a total of four people went straight to the Liao family. The Liao family lived in a small courtyard with two entrances, which was no different from other people's houses. There were children running around in the alley. Who would have known that a human trafficker had appeared here?

The constable knocked on the door and someone answered it soon. "Brother Chunfa, why are you here so late... Who are you looking for?"

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was wearing a light blue cotton dress. Her looks were just average, but her eyes were extremely outstanding. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as clear as autumn water. In addition, she was fair and tender. At first glance, she looked like a woman with some beauty. Tao Sizhi kept staring at the woman. His eyes made the two constables from the county city misunderstand him. They still despised this adult from the Dali Temple in the capital in their hearts.

Tao Sizhi didn't know what others were thinking. What he was thinking was, why did this woman look so familiar? Where had he seen her before?

Painting!

Tao Sizhi took out two paintings from his sleeve. After looking at one of them, he thought to himself that Painter Shen was truly an amazing artist. Wasn’t the woman in the painting the one in front of him?

"This is Liao Chunfa's family. What is your relationship with Liao Chunfa?"

"I... I am friends with Brother Chunfa." The woman lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Where is Liao Chunfa's son? The Dali Temple is investigating a case and wants to bring him to the capital."

The woman raised her head and said, "Dali Temple? Why are you taking Xiao Rui to the capital? He is still a child. What are you doing? What happened to Chunfa?"

"What's wrong? This is not something you should ask. Bring the child here, otherwise we will have to go in and look for him ourselves." Tao Sizhi took out the sign of Dali Temple from his arms.

At this time, people were gradually gathering in the alley.

"No, Chunfa asked me to take care of Xiaorui, I..."

Tao Sizhi grinned, "That's great, you should go there too, there's time for you to take care of him."

There were four constables standing there, so the woman had no choice but to obey Tao Sizhi's instructions and go back into the house to pick up the child. Tao Sizhi immediately signaled Granny Ge and a female constable from the Dali Temple to follow her.
