Ling Shuang raised an eyebrow at Fang Zheng and asked him, "I wonder who this person is—?"
Although Fang Zheng also had a lot of doubts, it must be said that the smooth progress of their mission was largely due to the contribution of old lady Feng Su'e.
The case hadn't even entered the trial stage yet, but Fang Zheng felt a little embarrassed that his own people were already treating this "meritorious official" in an aggressive, interrogating tone.
He quickly laughed and introduced Ling Shuang: "This is, um, Secretary Xu."
Fang Zheng was a little vague. Secretary Xu's identity was a bit special. Strictly speaking, he did not belong to the judicial organs, but in a broad sense, he was indeed a colleague of the government department.
Ling Shuang could tell that this Xu guy had no right to question her. She didn't need to pay any attention to his arrogance and rudeness. She nodded to Fang Zheng.
"Officer Fang, Cheng Tianyi, who came with me, came back to the village yesterday to pick someone up, but he must have gotten lost. I have to go look for him. And my daughter just escaped the quagmire, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her for too long. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."
After saying this, Ling Shuang saw that Fang Zheng and Secretary Xu both looked disapproving, so he stopped them and continued, "Of course, cooperating with the public security organs in handling the case is the obligation of every citizen of China. We will stay in the provincial capital for a while. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."
She said goodbye swiftly, but Fang Zheng and the others would definitely not let her go like that.
Fang Zheng's face instantly lit up with a warm smile. He took Ling Shuang's arm and said, "Comrade Feng, Sister Feng, thank you for your support of our work.
But you really can't leave now. The mountain roads are rugged and I heard that wild boars appear here from time to time. You played a crucial role in this case and are our great hero. How can we let you leave alone? It's too dangerous.
Please wait a little longer. Once we have finished what we have done here for a day or so, we will escort you back. Don't worry, if you are unable to walk, we have so many young and strong men. I will let them take turns carrying you down the mountain."
Ling Shuang was amused by him. After they met last night, they walked for several hours to Yuling Village. Although he didn't walk as fast as flying, he was also more calm and composed than this group of "young and strong" guys who were panting. This police officer named Fang Zheng did have a righteous face, but she didn't expect that there was a mischievous ghost living in his heart.
Seeing Ling Shuang's smile again, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Ling Shuang aside and said, "Sister Feng, please don't mind. I absolutely believe that you are a good comrade with a strong sense of justice. Secretary Xu..."
Fang Zheng pursed his lips in Xu Feng's direction. "He's also desperate to find his relatives. You don't know, he has an older sister and a younger sister. Three years ago, the sisters got up early, saying they were going shopping in Xiushui, and then they never came back. Secretary Xu's father is a veteran soldier, and he was so worried that he had a stroke. Her mother was also traumatized, and her spirits are fluctuating. Alas, he's a pitiful person."
After this conversation, Xu Feng also came over. He probably realized that there was something wrong with his attitude in questioning, and guessed that Officer Fang was whispering in Mrs. Feng's ear about his family affairs. He finally stopped frowning, and his frown relaxed a little.
He wanted to apologize to Ling Shuang: "Feng...Comrade, I was too impatient just now, but I really didn't doubt your intentions. I..."
He didn't know what to say. Because of the disappearance of his elder sister and younger sister, he had published many missing person notices in major newspapers in recent years and had been in contact with the Anti-Human Trafficking Office in Beijing. This time, he heard that someone had revealed the whereabouts of dozens of abducted women in Yuling Village under their real names, including news about a local woman who disappeared at the same time as his sisters.
This was really exciting news. After receiving the news, he actively used his connections to promote the investigation of this case and went to your province in person. Although after reuniting with many family members who had rushed over from all over the country, he learned that there was no news about his sister on the list of missing persons in Yuling Village.
But he still did not lose hope, and he traveled through mountains and rivers to come to Yuling Village, with the purpose of finding someone who knew the situation, and trying to find the human traffickers through the insider, and then find the whereabouts of his sister and younger sister.
Now the human trafficker seems to have been found, but unfortunately he has been drugged and has been in a coma ever since. In addition, there are several unidentified corpses in the cellar in the backyard of the human trafficker's house. Xu Feng felt as if his heart was being roasted on fire. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he "interrogated" Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang looked at his face carefully, asked him to take off his glasses, and brushed away the long hair on his forehead. Then he said to Xu Feng, who dared not breathe, "I see that your brows are thick, your forehead is distinct, and the ends of your eyebrows extend beyond the corners of your eyes. You must have five brothers and sisters in your family."
Xu Feng immediately looked at Fang Zheng and asked with his eyes: Did you tell her?
Fang Zheng was stunned and shook his head slightly. He didn't say that. How could this old lady still be considered dead? Fortunately, the reform and opening up has come. If this had happened a few years earlier...
Xu Feng's eyes suddenly became more eager. He looked at Ling Shuang with a sharp gaze, with a hint of expectation in his heart, hoping that she would say more.
Ling Shuang didn't keep the secret and continued, "Although you have many brothers and sisters, the Brothers Palace is disconnected in the middle. This means that your brothers and sisters have been separated. But don't worry. I have observed it again and again. It is not completely broken. There seems to be a tendency to connect. I believe that your family will be reunited soon. You don't need to worry."
Xu Feng was encouraged by her words, and he was willing to believe that what the old lady said was true. He hoped that he could find his relatives soon.
Xu Feng bowed excitedly to "Master Feng" and left. Fang Zheng followed him secretly and said, "Master, can you tell me something too?" Anything would be fine. He was just curious and half-believing and half-doubting.
Ling Shuang refused bluntly: "Every country has its own laws, every family has its own rules, and the rule of our faction is 'only those with whom we are destined to be are considered'."
Fang Zheng refused to give up, "Why am I not destined to be together? We met here from so far away. This is simply fate."
Seeing that Ling Shuang didn't even look at him, he said again: "Then what is your standard for judging whether someone is destined to be with you? Just look at me again, who knows, maybe fate will come to you?"
What responded to her was Ling Shuang's back as she walked towards the village. She wanted to go to Qiao Sanye's house again to see what was going on with Lin Yi.
Fang Zheng extended his hand behind him: "Comrade Feng, Master Feng, please think about it again..."
