Chapter 251 Confirmed Clues
Although Meng Qiuju saw what happened, her mouth was blocked by a rag. The more she struggled to tell Ai Zhu the truth, the more frightened Ai Zhu became, and the more she thought her face was ruined.
Lin Xiaoxia touched the blade of the scissors and said to Ai Zhu, "This cut is not heavy, but it's just the beginning. If you don't tell me, I will cut your nose off and make you ashamed to face people for the rest of your life." As she spoke, she took the scissors and rubbed them back and forth on Ai Zhu's nose.
Ai Zhu was so scared that he almost wet his pants, and quickly said, "I said, I said, bus station, blue and white bus, to a place I don't know, two characters, the first character has three water drops, and there are a lot of gestures, it should be a long way, because some people's accents are very unfamiliar, that's all I really remember."
Lin Xiaoxia asked again: "Was it Meng Qiuju who guided you at that time?"
Ai Zhu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, otherwise I am only eight years old, what do I know? Please, let me go, it was my mother who made me do it, not what I wanted to do."
Lin Xiaoxia said to Lin Rui, "Brother, there's a tape recorder in the west room. Go get it and record what they say."
Lin Rui went to the west room. Ai Lai Fu and Guan Mingyue had just heard Ai Zhu's screams and were so scared that they jumped out of the window and ran away. When Lin Rui went there, there was no one in the west room. He went to the cabinet to get the tape recorder and returned to the east room.
Then he pressed the record button and said to Lin Xiaoxia, "Okay, ask."
Lin Xiaoxia asked Ai Zhu again: "Repeat everything you just said. If you miss a word, I will cut off your nose."
Ai Zhu was already scared to death. After repeating everything he had just said, he did not forget to point out that he was led by Meng Qiuju.
Meng Qiuju was so angry that she almost died after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do. Her mouth was blocked and she couldn't say anything. Her hands were held down by Lu Jingshen and she was helpless.
After hearing what Ai Zhu said, Lin Xiao went over and slapped Ai Zhu: "I was really deceived by you."
Because after Ai Zhu lost Lin Mei when they were young, he spent a lot of effort to coax her, fearing that Ai Zhu would be affected psychologically. He never thought that it was all Ai Zhu's doing.
After recording everything, Lin Rui listened to it repeatedly, and after confirming it, he took out the tape.
Lin Xiaoxia let go of Ai Zhu and clapped her hands: "Our business is not over yet. You will never have an easy life. I won't break the law for you, but I will torture you to death with my own means. I will make you live alone, without friends and family, without a job, and you will never have a stable life."
Ai Zhu's hands were able to move, and she quickly touched her face and found that she had been deceived by Lin Xiaoxia, but it was useless because she had already told it and the other party had recorded it.
Meng Qiuju was also released by Lu Jingshen, but she didn't say anything because she had been completely sold out by her daughter. She didn't know yet that guiding minors to commit crimes was also illegal, but she knew that the Lin family would not let this matter go. She would be even more miserable, and so would her son.
Lin Xiaoxia said to Lu Jingshen, "Let's go to the township police station and report the case directly. We'll hand it over to the Public Security Bureau, and then we'll go back to the city and go to the bus station."
Lu Jingshen nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The four of them came out with the tapes, walked through the crowd, got in a taxi, and went to the township police station.
Because we chartered a car, we kept waiting for them.
When they arrived at the township police station, they were all familiar with the people there, so they went straight to Chen Lei, the police officer who was in charge of their case before, and told him about the incident. Then they gave the tape evidence to the police and asked Lin Rui to stay and cooperate with the next steps because he was familiar with the place since he had been there before.
Then Lin Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiao rushed back to the city's bus station. The smaller the area, the easier it would be to find clues.
Arriving at the bus station, Director Yuan listened to their latest news and then looked at the bus map on the wall. After a moment's thought, he said, "Two characters. The first character has three water drops, so it should be Bincheng, Haicheng, Yangcheng, and Shencheng. At noon, I talked to an old coworker and recalled it. Back then, cities near the sea were blue and white. Shencheng isn't a coastal city, so it should be ruled out. Yangcheng didn't have a road back then, so it must be Haicheng or Bincheng. If the person has a strong accent from another place, then it's basically Bincheng."
After listening to Director Yuan's analysis, Lin Xiaoxia also remembered something and said, "Ai Zhu should have just been in the second grade at that time. She might know the words "Hai" and "Yang". If there is a word she doesn't know, it is most likely "Bin", which should be Bincheng." Children in the 1970s and 1980s did not know as many words as their modern peers.
After hearing this, everyone thought it was Bincheng.
Lin Xiao quickly thanked Director Yuan: "Uncle Yuan, thank you so much, you've helped us a lot."
Director Yuan said, "This is a family-related matter. I'm also a parent. If my child were lost, I would also be in pain. Your parents are even more distressed than you. Go and find them quickly."
Lin Xiaoxia bowed to Director Yuan and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan. We will definitely come to express our gratitude formally someday."
"No need to thank me. Just tell me when you find your sister so that I can be happy with you." Director Yuan is a very nice person and sincerely hopes that they can find Lin Mei.
Lin Xiaoxia and the others thanked him again, then said goodbye and left. They couldn't delay other people's work for too long.
At the door, a few people discussed it again. Xiao Ya must have been targeted on the bus. Otherwise, after eating the candy prepared by Ai Zhu, she would definitely cry if she couldn't find anyone she knew. The ticket seller and the driver would also notice it and would definitely send the child back to Lingyuan City Bus Station to find her family, or call the police.
But nothing happened afterwards, which proves that Xiao Ya was kidnapped before she finished eating the candy in the car.
After the discussion, they also had to go to Shiqiao Township again to see how the situation was being handled there. Now they basically had their goal. After bringing Lin Rui back, they would discuss the next step together. Now it was time to see how Shiqiao Township would deal with Meng Qiuju.
They had booked the taxi for a day, so they got in the taxi directly and went to Shiqiao Township.
On the way, Lin Xiaoxia had already started thinking about what to do next. Now that she was not short of money, she would post a missing person notice and offer a reward. She would pay for important clues. At any time, money could solve many problems.
However, finding someone is not that easy, especially since Bincheng is not close to Lingyuan. The bus ride takes five hours and the train takes four hours. In this era without high-speed rail, it is quite far.
And I don’t have a mobile phone, so any information I have can only be confirmed by phone. I can’t see photos directly, and I can’t send red envelopes for rewards. These are quite troublesome.
Their family doesn't have many relatives in Bincheng. If they go there, they will have to find out everything, which will take a lot more time and energy. But there is no other way. These are necessary. As long as they can find Lin Mei, it will be fine.
Lu Jingshen looked at Lin Xiaoxia's expression and knew what she was thinking. He held Lin Xiaoxia's hand and squeezed it: "No, I'll take a few days off. Let's go to Bincheng together for a few days to understand the situation."
Lin Xiaoxia shook her head and said, "Neither of us has been there before. In fact, there is no difference between me going alone and us going together. Why should I delay your work? I'd better go by myself."
Lin Xiao thought of something and said, "If we go to Bincheng to find someone, the best candidate is Lin Rui. He studied in Bincheng and is very familiar with the place. He can save time, and he has friends there, especially friends in the hospital, so he has more information."
