Chapter 69 There is such a person

The grandmother looked at the two of them with a smile, "These days, who doesn't have a few poor relatives?"

Xiao Jing and Lin Zhixian looked at each other and were secretly delighted. Could it be that they were so lucky that they found the person so quickly?

Lin Zhixian asked hurriedly, "Does your family have relatives in the countryside? Do you have any contact with them?"

"Of course we do, and we do have some interactions." The aunt looked at them in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"

"Investigating the case." Xiao Jing said calmly, "I wonder if any of your rural relatives have been married for many years before having a child?"

"Did you get married many years before having a child?" The grandmother thought for a moment and said, "It seems not."

"Auntie, think about it carefully. Is there really no such person?" Lin Zhixian said, "It's the kind of country relative who didn't have a child for many years and only had one in the last few years, and it was a son in the first pregnancy."

"Why are you asking this?" The aunt asked in confusion and alertness.

"Of course it's related to the case." Xiao Jing said calmly, "Auntie, think carefully, do you really not have such a relative?"

Lin Zhixian thought: "Or maybe it's a relative of your daughter-in-law."

Xiao finally nodded; "Yes."

I almost forgot about this too.

"No." The grandmother shook her head firmly: "We don't have such country relatives in our family."

"In July five years ago, did any relatives from the countryside come to visit you?" Lin Zhixian asked again.

"Five years ago? It's been so long that I can't remember clearly, but I don't think so." The grandmother said, "After all, July is the busy farming season. There's nothing big going on. Why would a country person come to the city to visit relatives?"

Lin Zhixian was stunned when the nanny said this. She really hadn't thought about this problem.

She couldn't help but recall what she saw in the video, the woman holding the fair and tender Mingzi back to her country home, and said to the man on the bed: "Boss, we have a son now."

The man jumped up in surprise, "What?"

Then he looked at Mingzai with joy: "Is this my son? Great, I have a son now."

Lin Zhixian didn't look carefully at the time. After being reminded by her aunt, she thought back to the scene and found that the man lying on the bed did not look like he was sleeping or resting, but rather looked like he was sick.

If this is the case, does it mean that the man was sick at the time and the family was too poor to pay for his treatment, so the woman went to the city to borrow money from relatives, and then on her way back she saw the lonely Mingzai, and took Mingzai away as her son. In the end, because he had money and a son, the man naturally recovered, and a year later he and the woman had their own biological son?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhixian asked his grandmother, "Grandma, think back again, five years ago, your family really didn't have any relatives from the countryside who came to you to borrow money?"

“No.” Auntie shook her head.

"Could he be a relative of your daughter-in-law?" Lin Zhixian asked.

"No." The nanny said confidently, "Five years ago, my daughter-in-law hadn't even married into our family yet. How could her poor relatives come to borrow money from us?"

Xiao Jing and Lin Zhixian looked at each other and it seemed that they were not relatives from the countryside of the nanny's family.

"Does the lady know which resident in this building has such a country relative?" Xiao Jing asked.

The reason why they followed the aunt into the house was because she was older. If she had always lived in this building, she must be very familiar with the residents of the entire building, and perhaps they could get the information they wanted from her.

The grandmother suddenly realized: "So you want to find the country relative who came to the city to borrow money in July five years ago?"

"You can say that." Xiao Jing nodded: "I wonder if Auntie has remembered any clues?"

The aunt slapped her thigh and said, "If you ask other people, they may not know, but you asked me, so you really asked the right person."

Lin Zhixian was overjoyed: "Does Auntie know something?"

The nanny said, "I actually know of a family that had a poor relative from the countryside come to borrow money in July five years ago."

"Which family?" Xiao Jing asked hurriedly.

"It's the Wu family on the third floor. I remember five years ago in July, a 30-year-old country woman came to her house and asked Mrs. Wu to borrow money. Mrs. Wu didn't have any money. Her family's money was managed by her old man. At that time, old man Wu scolded Mrs. Wu. I remember it very clearly."

The nanny said, "In fact, if you hadn't mentioned it, I might not have remembered it, because not long after that country relative left, the grandson of the old Liu family, Mingzai, disappeared. At that time, all of us were busy helping the Liu family look for the child——"

When the grandmother said this, she suddenly thought of something and clapped her hands and jumped up. "Oh, why didn't I think of that? Sir, when you investigated that country relative, did you suspect that Mingzai was taken away by her?"

Xiao Jing and Lin Zhixian looked at each other, and Xiao Jing nodded: "We do have such a suspicion."

"Are you really here to investigate this?" The grandmother was very excited: "But this happened five years ago, why are you suddenly investigating it again? How did you get this clue?"

"This is Miss Lin, the fortune teller who was recently in the newspaper. Mingzai's grandmother approached Miss Lin to help with fortune-telling and finding someone. Miss Lin predicted that Mingzai was taken away from here by a neighbor's country relative." Xiao decided not to hide the secret anymore because this housewife might be able to provide useful clues.

"Are you a fortune teller? Did you really predict that Mingzai would be taken away by his country relatives?" The grandmother looked at Lin Zhixian in surprise.

"Yes." Lin Zhixian nodded. "That woman had been married for more than ten years and had no children. So when she saw Mingzai standing alone on the street, she took him home and treated him as her own son. But she didn't treat Mingzai well. She raised Mingzai for a year, and then gave birth to her own son. Then she sold Mingzai to someone else, and Mingzai was abandoned again. Now Mingzai has been adopted by an elderly widower, but the elderly widower is approaching the end of his life. If Mingzai can't be found soon, I'm afraid he will meet with an accident."

Lin Zhixian deliberately revealed Mingzai's tragic experience because the neighbors have feelings for each other. If the aunt heard that the country relative was related to Mingzai's disappearance, it would be very disadvantageous for them to hide the clues in order to protect the neighbors.

"What?" The grandmother was shocked when she heard this: "Poor Mingzai. He was taken away by someone, and in the end he didn't treat him well. This person is really heartless."

As the grandmother recalled those years, she became more certain: "It must be her! Sir, you must investigate her thoroughly and rescue Mingzai."

Xiao Jing nodded: "We will investigate this matter thoroughly and rescue Mingzai as soon as possible."

The housewife patted her chest and cursed again: "Poor Liu family, the son and daughter-in-law went out to look for someone and got into a car accident, and old man Liu died of illness without being able to take a breath, leaving old lady Liu alone, and she dared not even live at home, for fear of being emotionally moved by the scene, so she locked the door and rented a house outside, picking up garbage every day, eating poorly and living poorly, and she was full of guilt, punishing herself like this. Who of our neighbors on the whole street would not sigh when they saw this?"
