Aunt Feng shook her head, picked up the broom next to her and started sweeping the floor. Dust rose up everywhere, and Xie Zhiyan coughed from the fumes.
"If you want to find these people, you'll have to find their relatives. How would ordinary people like us know the whereabouts of these rich people? You'd better leave and not interfere with my work."
Xie Zhiyan looked at the old house, where he could still see Shu Ying's shadow, but things had changed.
He glanced at the time; it was almost 11 o'clock. Since the Shu family's property had been raided, the police station must have a record of it.
If you want to understand the situation clearly, going to the police station is the most convenient and quickest way.
Xie Zhiyan didn't delay any longer and quickly went to the nearby police station.
Xie Zhiyan presented his identification and explained his purpose.
The person who received Xie Zhiyan was Wang Hongfu, the director of the police station.
He poured himself a cup of hot tea and sat down next to Xie Zhiyan: "The Shu family's situation is somewhat special. Currently, Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie have been taken into custody by us."
"The couple embezzled the Shu family's property and originally planned to flee to Hong Kong with their son. When we went to the Shu family, the two of them were barely clothed and looked like they had just woken up. Their belongings had already been packed."
Xie Zhiyan frowned deeply: "Didn't the Shu couple have two children? I remember it was a son and a daughter. They ran away with their son, but what about their daughter?"
Shu Yan is Shu Ying's cousin. If she didn't come with them, would Shu Ying stay with her?
Wang Hongfu waved his hand, his face showing a complicated expression.
“Even wealthy families favor sons over daughters. They want to protect their only son. When we caught up with them, Shu Jie had already fled with a boatload of valuables and his whereabouts are still unknown.”
Xie Zhiyan tapped the table lightly with one hand: "Ran away? Do you have any solid evidence?"
Wang Hongfu waved to Xie Zhiyan, took a deep breath and said, "The Shu family has accumulated a lot of property over the years. It took a whole morning to move all the big and small items. There were dozens of workers who did the moving, and they can all be witnesses. Our police station has also questioned them. It is a fact that Shu Jie ran away with a boatload of valuables. It's just that his whereabouts are now unknown, and your wife Shu Ying is also missing."
Xie Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently. He hadn't expected that these things had only happened recently.
If he had come back a little earlier, even just two or three days earlier, he could have found Shuying.
"Don't Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie know where Shu Jie went either?"
They've prepared so much; Shu Ying certainly won't stand idly by. If they're in the same boat, he can follow the clues and look for leads.
Wang Hongfu shook his head: "According to Shu Xuecheng's confession, they went to the dock in two batches. Shu Jie went half a day earlier than them. They were originally going to the port city. When we caught up with them, we blocked all the shipping routes out of the city, but we still haven't heard anything from them."
Xie Zhiyan's last glimmer of hope vanished at this moment.
Wang Hongfu brought up the subject again: "However, both Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie believe that Shu Ying was responsible for Shu Jie's disappearance. They said that the last person they saw before we went to the Shu family was Shu Ying, and they even gave some false testimony."
"perjury?"
Xie Zhiyan's words carried a hint of disbelief.
He knew a bit about the character of Shu Xuecheng and his wife. At that time, he felt that although they were both members of the Shu family, their character was on different levels.
They had assumed that since Shu Ying was in trouble, and they were family, they would at least help each other out.
Unexpectedly, it was these very people who brought about all the great storms.
"Yes, the evidence they provided was meant to prove that the Shu family's fortune was all taken away by this frail woman, Shu Ying. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"But out of caution, our comrades at the police station have already verified it, and they found nothing, nor are there any relevant people who can testify. Comrade Shuying is still not known where she is, but it is certain that there is an element of wrongdoing on her part."
As Wang Hongfu spoke, he thought of what Shu Xuecheng and his wife had said, and he couldn't help but laugh at their silly appearance.
"The two of them insisted that Shu Ying had taken everything from the Shu family, and that she had stripped them of their clothes and stolen a lot of their valuables. Putting aside the fact that we were there and didn't find any trace of Shu Ying, how could a weak girl like her possibly take everything from the whole house?"
Wang Hongfu found their words utterly absurd.
"Oh, by the way, we found their daughter, Shu Yan, yesterday. She doesn't know the ins and outs of this. According to what she said, the night before Shu Xuecheng and his wife were about to leave, they found an excuse to send her away. When she returned the next day, the Shu family's house had already been sealed off."
"It's strange, these are all their own children, but rich people treat them differently."
Xie Zhiyan didn't have much of an impression of Shu Yan, only remembering that she seemed to be following Shu Ying around, and that he had only seen her twice.
He had already forgotten what it looked like.
"Does Shu Yan have any news about Shu Ying?"
Wang Hongfu paused, thinking of the testimony Shu Yan had given him the night before.
“Officer, I really had no idea about my parents’ actions. They weren’t very nice to me when I was a child. I stayed at my classmate’s house last night, and my parents told me not to rush back. I never imagined they were planning to leave.”
