Chapter 56 Chapter 56 1st update
As the hostess sobbed, everyone was silent.
But everyone's attention was on her.
The Queen Mother looked embarrassed and tears rolled down her cheeks.
But she didn't care at all and looked at Yu Jiajia with light in her eyes.
Even though they have been disappointed countless times, as mothers and fathers, when faced with news about their own flesh and blood, they have to seize any chance that there is.
This is what the Queen Mother was thinking now, and she held her hand tightly.
"Little girl, just tell me, whether he is dead or alive, just give me a definite answer."
Yu Jiajia looked confused and looked to the side.
I saw several people opposite me, all with different expressions.
Old Wang had a sad look on his face. He went over to pull her and tried to persuade her. "Calm down and don't scare them."
Yu Jiajia was so close that she could almost see the red bloodshot in his eyes.
“Wuwuwu.” The woman sobbed again, but the strength of the pinch on her arm did not lessen at all.
At this point, she finally understood the whole story and why Director Chen was able to do this.
Although she didn't understand what happened, for some reason she felt a chill in her spine when she saw the old couple.
"Old lady, don't get excited or anxious. I will do my best to help you."
After she finished speaking, she nodded towards Director Chen.
Indicated that he accepted it.
So, the story officially began.
A gloomy male voice spoke, and Mr. Wang half sat and half leaned on his wife, his eyes and tone calm.
"It was September 27, 1974. My wife and I learned that our son had boarded a train and would be back in two days. We were so happy that we almost didn't sleep that night."
At this point, I could actually hear some joy in the voice.
"From the second day on, we started to stockpile meat and delicious food for him, and cleaned his room several times a day. But from the 28th to the 29th, from September to early October, there was no news of Yiran."
"Yiran, Yiran, my child!"
The Queen Mother's emotions, which had finally calmed down, surged up again.
Old Wang beside her patted her on the back in a normal manner, and Wang's mother's voice gradually became quieter.
"On the 31st, my wife and I realized something was wrong, so we went to the train station and waited for a long time. We asked people and they said the train had already arrived, but my son was gone."
"Gone?"
Yu Jiajia was surprised.
Mr. Wang remained silent when he said this.
Director Chen took over and added: "Let me tell you, the Public Security Bureau received the report that night and started working quickly, but we didn't find any clues for several months."
For nine whole years, he had to watch the old couple Wang become what they are now.
And he has also passed the age of knowing the destiny.
Chen Mo's eyes flashed and he explained the situation.
As soon as Director Chen opened his mouth, Lu Junhua had already started thinking at high speed, distinguishing the information quickly and accurately. As a working habit, behavioral analysis is done almost subconsciously.
But the next moment, he was interrupted by his wife.
“Are there any old photos of him?”
Yu Jiajia said solemnly with a serious expression.
"Yes, I have it here." The Queen Mother groped her chest deftly.
But I don’t know if it’s because of my poor health or because I’m too emotional, but my hands are shaking all the time.
She also murmured, "Here, child, child, come back, come back!"
That day, the young couple stayed in the courtyard for a long time, and when they left, the sunset had already appeared in the sky.
After leaving Wang's house, they went their separate ways.
The young couple were silent along the way, with complex and changing emotions, a mixture of pity and helplessness towards them.
The saying "nothing in this world is impermanent" is not enough to replace it!
What I got from the Queen Mother was a small photo.
Yes, not only is the photo small, but the child was only two or three years old when it was taken.
As for photos from other times, their family originally had a few, but due to some accidents in the past few years, they were accidentally burned.
Therefore, she had no choice but to give it a try in this situation.
......
Ji Zhong came out and sat directly in the corner.
Looking back at the case, they have invested huge police forces from the time the incident occurred to today, but the results are not ideal.
And from Shanghai to the inland, only a few were caught.
But there was no good news from that.
Ji Zhong looked serious as he looked into the distance. He saw a layer of clouds suddenly appearing on the horizon. Gradually, it became like a hurricane, condensing and compressing the air bit by bit.
"Boom boom boom~"
Thunder roared!
Tick-tick, tick-tick, bean-sized raindrops hit the top of my head.
Ji Zhong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and immediately ran outside.
In the lobby of the police station, hurried footsteps poured in from all directions.
He became impatient while walking.
The heavy rain outside adds a bit of urgency to the situation!
The latest news from the front is that another vicious case has occurred at a station only a hundred kilometers away from the crime scene.
Perhaps God was busy with them. Seeing how hard they were working to solve the case, the people who were stranded in Taifu County earlier were the first to learn about the situation, even though the crime had occurred in Yangxi County, in the neighboring province.
After the earlier robbery case, public security officers throughout Taifu County were on high alert.
When Ji Zhong learned about the situation, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.
They already have a general understanding of the situation, and it's actually a simple matter.
The person involved in the accident was an elderly man who worked as a gate keeper at a local county station. He was supposed to come to work after his shift, but no one showed up at the train platform after he waited for a long time, so a colleague went to his home to look for him after he was done with work.
Later, he was found dead at home.
The scene was bloody. The old man was almost unrecognizable and had been stabbed more than 30 times all over his body. Several banknotes were also found at the old man’s trouser legs.
The banknote was almost stained with blood and looked brand new!
According to the investigation, the old man obviously knew something.
Considering the circumstances, he might have been murdered to silence him.
A few days ago, I was very generous and bought some good wine and food, and also exchanged cigarettes and alcohol with friends at high prices. It is said that someone asked him about it at that time, and he just said that they were a few relatives from his hometown.
But because he lived in a remote area and was a bit lonely, no one had ever seen them in person.
The terrain of Yangxi County is quite special. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is almost in the center of the country.
You can reach the north by passing through Yangxi, and the north is more hidden than the south, and transportation from south to north and east to west is very convenient.
Therefore, if they really committed the murder, things would be even more difficult to handle.
However, Team Ji soon made a decision to split the team into two small teams.
He had a hunch that he would find something there if he went to Yangxi County in person.
Soon, they boarded a train heading north.
Although the journey was still long, Ji Zhong did not dare to relax at all and kept drawing and writing on the notebook.
......
The remote and quiet mountain town is very lively.
As the year draws to a close, the hard-working people regain their vitality, work hard and live diligently.
Quickly recovered from the previous blow.
The bloody incident that spread throughout the country and abroad was suppressed and gradually overshadowed by low-priced river food today and low-priced canned food tomorrow.
So, in just two or three months, before the case process was even completed, these sentimental and indifferent people started a new life.
In the 1980s, the mountain city was filled with a more unbridled retro and modern atmosphere.
At the Lu family's house, a small window leaning against a birch tree was slightly open.
I saw someone appearing towards me, and upon closer inspection it was indeed Lu's mother.
Mother Lu opened the door to ventilate the room and washed the bedding.
Cleaned the bedroom thoroughly.
When she finished her work and took a break, she looked down at the photo and couldn't help but chuckle.
Looking at the well-matched young couple in front of her, Mother Lu couldn't help but mutter.
"Hey, I don't know how they are doing. Is Jiajia cold out there? Can your boy take good care of her?"
Although she knew that her son was down-to-earth and steady, she really liked Jia Jia as her daughter-in-law. Then, looking at her poor figure, she couldn't help but wonder.
As she thought about it, Mother Lu's face changed and she looked quite uncomfortable.
During dinner, Mother Lu still talked a few words to Father Lu, but he didn't really explain it clearly.
Father Lu looked normal. He glanced at his wife and then at his little daughter.
Lu Yaoyao didn't notice it, but said to her mother: "I think my brother must have gone to play with my sister-in-law. Who knows how comfortable it must be to be on a business trip."
Her tone was envious and her face showed anticipation!
