Lin Jianguo naturally wouldn't admit it, retorting, "Don't talk nonsense. If that's not my daughter, is she your daughter?" He looked at the man in front of him and didn't recognize him, nor did he owe him any money!
"If she were your own daughter, would you still sell her?"
"Why not?" Lin Jianguo blurted out, completely unaware that this was a cliché.
Even the police officers standing nearby became suspicious of Lin Jianguo's words and intensified their interrogation with threats and inducements. In the end, Lin Jianguo could not withstand the pressure and admitted that Lin Xuan was a girl his father had picked up.
"Officer, although Lin Xuan isn't my biological daughter, I raised her from a young age. I've always treated her like my own daughter, providing her with food and drink since she was little. So why are you locking me up?"
"Now is not the time to dwell on whether you are her biological father or not, but to focus on your suspected human trafficking, a crime that could land you in jail."
"That's not very kind of you to say. I raised my own daughter. It's just that she's disobedient, so I thought of finding her a good family to marry into. Is it illegal to let her get married?" This Lin Jianguo not only doesn't understand the law, but he's also a complete idiot.
The interrogator knew there was nothing to say to someone like him, an unemployed vagrant who also loved gambling. In short, he wouldn't realize his mistakes until he was actually convicted.
Outside the interrogation room, Fu Huai'an was still waiting for the results. Officer Li regretfully informed him, "Mr. Fu, we still cannot confirm Lin Xuan's whereabouts. I think Lin Jianguo may genuinely not know who bought his daughter, but he does know that she was sold for 500,000. Based on our analysis, the highest amount of human trafficking is usually only a few hundred thousand. This is probably not an ordinary human trafficking gang that has sold for 500,000 at once."
"Yes, I request to see your captain."
Officer Li knew this person was someone important, so he could only call his captain, Jiang Yu, who quickly returned.
Fu Huai'an thought for a moment and then called Gu Siye. "Siye, I need your help. It's about my biological daughter."
"Uncle, please speak."
"Could you please have Ms. Li come to the police station? I'm at the police station right now, and I suspect that my biological daughter was sold abroad by her adoptive father."
"Okay, I'll call her and ask her." Gu Siyue couldn't bear to refuse Uncle Fu, but he wasn't really sure if he could get Li Zhiyi to intervene, so he braced himself and made the call.
I took out my phone and realized I didn't have her number at all. Then I remembered that my sister had been getting along well with her lately, so I called my sister. Sure enough, the two of them were together.
When Gu Nianzhi heard that her brother was looking for Li Zhiyi, she immediately laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is looking for you. He doesn't know your phone number, hehe."
Li Zhiyi answered the phone and heard Gu Siye relay Fu Huai'an's words to her, and immediately agreed.
Gu Nianzhi insisted on going to the police station with her, so Li Zhiyi had no choice but to take Gu Nianzhi with her. When she arrived at the police station, Jiang Yu had already returned from handling a case outside and was now in the office discussing with Fu Huai'an how to rescue Lin Xuan.
The officers were a little surprised to see her, as she had been to the police station several times before. The female officer who had taken the files last time was also there, and she looked displeased. They assumed she was there to see the captain. Officer Li asked, "Ms. Li, are you here to report a case as well?"
"No, I'm looking for someone. Where's your captain?" she thought to herself. Where is Uncle Fu? Wasn't he supposed to be waiting for her at the police station? Why isn't he here?
The female police officer's eyesight was really bad this time. She didn't expect that she would actually guess right. It seems that this woman really does have a crush on their captain, Jiang Yu.
Although she knew that her captain was not on the same path as her and would never accept her feelings, she still didn't like anyone competing with her for Jiang Yu's affections.
"Okay, Ms. Li, please follow me." Officer Li led Li Zhiyi directly to the captain's office door, knocked, and said, "Come in."
"Captain, this Miss Li is looking for you," Officer Li said happily.
Jiang Yu stood up, but before he could speak...
"No, she's looking for me." Fu Huai'an stood up happily. He hadn't expected that Gu Si was really something, actually managing to invite Miss Li over.
"Hello, Uncle Fu."
"Come and sit down, Captain Jiang. I invited Miss Li to help us solve the case, and I trust her completely." Fu Huai'an said this deliberately, just to prevent Captain Jiang from refusing or offending Miss Li with his words, because everyone knew that Captain Jiang was very capable, had an eccentric personality, and did not like to cooperate with others in solving cases.
"Okay, let's get started. Next, we'll continue. This human trafficking organization is likely a Chinese gang operating across borders, selling Chinese people abroad. If they're sold to places like Myanmar or Thailand, it'll be a huge problem, because the local government forces and private armies there aren't on good terms. Each side has its own forces and supporters. If we go there and find the local police, their investigative capabilities aren't very high. After all, the private armies there are very powerful, and the local police won't risk offending the entire private army for the sake of one person."
Even without Jiang Yu mentioning it, Fu Huai'an was already aware of the situation there, which was exactly what he was worried about.
"Miss Li, could you tell my fortune and see if Lin Xuan is safe now, or if you could tell her exact location?" Although this Miss Li had saved his son's life and her abilities were beyond doubt, he had never seen her tell fortunes before.
"Okay, tell me her birth date and time."
Now Fu Huai'an was in a dilemma, after all, so many years had passed, and he couldn't remember the exact time.
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Li, while I make a call to inquire."
Soon, Fu Huai'an learned the birth time of his biological daughter from his wife. At this moment, a question arose in his mind: if Lin Xuan was not his biological daughter, then the fortune telling was meaningless.
Jiang Yu saw that the two of them had made a decision so quickly and even wanted to consult the oracle. Although he didn't believe in divination, he didn't disturb them. After all, everyone would be anxious if their child was lost, and it's normal to try anything when you're desperate.
Li Zhiyi took out a tortoise shell from his bundle. The tortoise shell had three sections in the center of the tortoise pattern on its back, representing the three elements of "heaven", "earth" and "humanity".
When Li Zhiyi pulled out this thing that looked like a turtle fossil, the expressions on everyone's faces changed. They thought, "What kind of junk is this? Can this really be used for fortune telling?"
