After Yuan Heng finished talking to Li Yuming and Zhang Yanxia about the matter, the couple quickly set off and went to the buyer of the child, which was a place called Zhengyang County under Jiangjin City.
The couple lived in the county town and were unable to have children, so they decided to buy a child. Now, the child is two years old.
The family was well off and treated the child well. Li Yuming and Zhang Yanxia asked around in the county town and found the residential complex where the buyer lived.
The buyer and his wife both work in a factory in the county town. Their child is usually taken care of by the elderly. Now the buyer has raised the child to be plump and white.
After the couple arrived at their destination, they asked around and actually found out some information.
A resident who knew the situation told them quietly that the couple had been married for several years but had no children, and the woman was not pregnant and had been working in the factory.
Then one day they brought home a newborn baby, saying it was their own.
Everyone is aware of this kind of thing, but since they are all neighbors, no one wants to get involved unless there is a holiday.
Some acquaintances will even take the initiative to help the buyer keep the secret, for fear that the child will be found by the biological parents.
After receiving this news, Li Yuming and Zhang Yanxia could confirm that his child must have come from an unknown background.
The couple arrived in the county town a little late that day. As the next day was Sunday, they didn't have to go to work. Since they didn't see their child leave the house that day, they simply found a hotel in the county town and planned to continue their surveillance of the neighborhood the next day.
People in the community said that the old lady often pushed a stroller and took her child to the community square to bask in the sun.
The next morning, the couple bought a big bag of buns and went to the community again.
At around nine o'clock, I finally saw the old lady from that family pushing her grandson to play in the square.
The square is quite crowded during the day, mostly elderly people and children. An old woman took her grandson out of the stroller and watched him play with the other children. She glanced in the child's direction while chatting with the adults nearby.
Li Yuming and Zhang Yanxia switched seats, moving to a seat a little closer to the child, and stared at the child intently.
The couple looked at each other, then at their child, trying to find some similarities between the child and themselves on his face.
They found that the child had a distinct sharp angle on his hairline, and Zhang Yanxia also had a similar sharp angle.
Both the husband and wife have single eyelids, and the child also has single eyelids, with long and narrow eyes, a bit like Li Yuming.
However, without solid evidence, they dared not rashly take the child away and claim that the child was theirs. If something went wrong and other people mistook them for human traffickers, it would be troublesome.
After much deliberation, the couple came up with a plan. They found a phone booth and called the police, reporting the child's whereabouts and asking them to investigate. However, they have yet to hear back from the police.
They were a little worried, so they went to the community again a week later. The old lady was still taking her children for a walk as usual, as if she was not affected at all.
The couple suspected that either the call to the police was not working, or the matter had not yet been put on the agenda.
After hearing what Li Yuming and his wife said about the situation, Sun Aimin frowned and decided to go with them to take a look.
He remembered the appearance of the couple in the portrait that Yuan Jie had given him as buyers. If he could see the child's "father and mother" with his own eyes and they matched the people in the portrait, he could basically confirm that the child was from Li Yuming's family.
