Chapter 260: Adoptive Parent's Information
Lin Xiaoxia thanked the son of the Xin family repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Xin, these clues have helped me a lot, they are very useful."
The Xin family's son nodded with a smile and said, "That's good. I hope you didn't abandon your daughter when she was young, and then regret it and want to find her back when she grows up."
Lin Xiaoxia took out a lot of missing person notices and newspaper photos from when her family was looking for Lin Mei: "Look, we put ads in the newspapers looking for her back then. Oh, and look, is the child they brought back the one in the photo?"
After seeing it, everyone was not sure. It had been more than ten years, and the child was rarely taken out at that time. When he was taken out, he wore a hat, and he moved away within a few days, so everyone did not have a deep impression of him.
But everyone believed what Lin Xiaoxia said, because at that time, spending so much money to find someone proved that the person was good to the little girl and would not abandon her.
So Xin's wife thought about the details of the past again: "What should the Qin family's daughter-in-law be called? Lan. I heard Carpenter Qin often call her Da Lanzi. I really can't remember anything else."
Lin Xiaoxia took out a hundred yuan, wrote her home phone number on a piece of scrap paper, and handed it to Xin's wife: "Aunt Xin, if you remember anything in the future, please call me. This money is your reward."
Xin's wife quickly declined, saying, "You can't accept this. We're just doing a small favor, so we don't need this."
Lin Xiaoxia stuffed the money into the Xin family's wife's pocket and said, "Aunt Xin, our family is now collecting clues in the newspaper for a fee. The clues you gave are really important. Please keep this money. If you can remember anything else, please call me."
The Xin family's wife was delighted when she received the money. This was almost half a month's salary for an average person. She said happily, "Don't worry, young lady. I'll ask everyone I know in the area. If I have any new leads, I'll call you."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Aunt Xin. This is my home phone number. If you call after 6pm, my husband will be able to answer it at home. I still need to look for clues here. I'm from out of town."
Xin's wife said, "This is not easy. Don't worry, I've made a note of it."
Lin Xiaoxia said goodbye to Xin's wife, and then went downstairs with Bai Chongli.
When she got downstairs, she gave Bai Chongli a hundred yuan. He also gave her very important clues. Since clues were paid for, it was what she deserved.
Bai Chongli was also a very particular person. He took Lin Xiaoxia to visit many families. The money was indeed not taken in vain. He helped a lot. If Lin Xiaoxia were to go by herself, she would knock on every door. The more reluctant people were to talk to her, the better. This saved her a lot of time.
It's a pity that we didn't get much from the families we asked later. Because so many years have passed, they all remember Carpenter Qin, but they really can't remember his real name. There was only one person who was about the same age as Carpenter Qin, and I remember his name might be Qin Gang. This was the most clue we had.
Lin Xiaoxia wrote all of these down, fearing that she had missed any of them. Then she said goodbye to Bai Chongli and hurriedly took a bus back to Binhai City, because now she had to go to Qin Carpenter's hometown to look for clues. As long as she found his family, they would definitely be connected, and by following the clues, she would be able to find her sister.
Lin Xiaoxia was familiar with the general environment here. Among the several provinces nearby, there was only one place that produced jade, and that was the place where Lu Jingshen and others jointly opened a mine. This made things easy, after all, it was easier to get things done with acquaintances.
She returned to the city and called Ma Tianming and the other two. She invited them to dinner in the evening and told them about her trip to Puwan County today.
The three of them didn't receive any calls with valuable clues today, so they also thought that Carpenter Qin's family took the children back to their hometown or went to other places, and did not stay in Bincheng for long.
Lin Xiaoxia agreed with them that she would contact them by phone if she had any information, and that she would also send out the missing person notices and photos. She would go home tomorrow.
Because I have to go back and discuss with Lu Jingshen and my family, and then go to Qingyan County, which is where Lu Jingshen and his friend Zhou Yunchao opened a jade mine.
There are a lot of clues now. The Qin family's hometown is Qingyan County. Carpenter Qin's name is Qin Gang and the woman's name is Da Lanzi. Carpenter Qin is missing a finger and is about forty-four or forty-five years old.
The three of them sent Lin Xiaoxia back to the hotel before leaving, saying that if they found Xiaoya in the future, they would tell them as soon as possible.
Lin Xiaoxia said goodbye to a few people and said that she would come again in the future, and asked them to go and have a look when Lin Rui's store opened.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoxia returned to the hotel and called Lu Jingshen to tell him about what happened today.
Lu Jingshen said, "Then I'll tell Yun Chao about the situation and ask him to find out first. We'll go there this weekend. What time do you come back tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I'm going to buy some seafood tomorrow. It's so hard for me to come here, so I want to bring some local specialties back to my parents. You don't have to pick me up. I'm not sure of the time."
Lu Jingshen said, "Don't buy anything for yourself. It's so heavy."
"I won't buy much either. Don't worry, you don't have to tell my dad about this first. I'll go back tomorrow and we'll talk about it in detail."
"Well, you've been exhausted these past few days, haven't you?"
"I'm not tired. Don't you know me? I'm full of energy."
"Silly girl, go to bed early today and come back tomorrow. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
"Let's talk about it after we get home. I don't know what time I'll be home yet, but I need to have a good rest when I get home tomorrow. No matter how nice the hotel is, it's not as comfortable as home."
"Without you by my side, the house feels lonely and deserted."
"I'm going back tomorrow."
"Well, wife, I miss you."
"I miss you as well."
"I want to hold you while I sleep. It's really lonely to sleep alone."
"Silly boy, wait for me to come back, be good."
The two of them stayed like this for quite a while before hanging up the phone.
Lin Xiaoxia felt more at ease after looking at the clues obtained today.
The next morning, she went to the seafood market and bought some crabs, shrimps, conchs and other things. There were no foam boxes at that time, but there were ice packs. The weather was cold and the green train was not warm, so it was no problem to take them back in five hours.
She hurried to the train station with the seafood, bought a ticket for the nearest bus, and hurried back.
The journey was smooth. After getting off the train, she went directly to the bus station and took the seafood she brought for Lu Guojiu back on the bus. After putting it on the bus, she quickly went to the public phone nearby and called Lu Guojiu, asking him to go out and pick her up later. Then she could cook and eat the seafood while it was fresh. Just steam it and don't keep it. It can't be eaten if it's not fresh.
Then she went home with the rest.
She got home quite early, just two o'clock in the afternoon. She put down her things and called Lin Jianye, telling him that she had found new clues about Lin Mei. She asked Lin Jianye to contact Lin Xiao and Lin Rui and have them come over for dinner in the evening to discuss what to do next.
