Chapter 490 The police told her that her biological son was from the Jiangjiang Public Security Bureau.
Xie Mingzhu went straight inside and found the police officer in charge of the case.
Before the other party could speak, Xie Mingzhu asked urgently, panting heavily.
"Is there any news about my child?"
As they had guessed, the police responded affirmatively.
"After our investigation over this period of time, we have found the leader of that human trafficking gang from back then."
"After interrogation, the leader confessed that they originally sold your child to Liujia Village, to a couple surnamed Yin."
"Unexpectedly, when the couple took their child to the market, they lost the child..."
Xie Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and her previously high expectations plummeted. Her lips trembled slightly.
"Wh...what?"
"They lost my child? How could they lose my child?!"
The police officers quickly comforted her.
"Don't rush, let me explain slowly."
“We also brought the couple surnamed Yin over for a thorough interrogation. They said that when the child passed away, he was carrying a good luck charm and had a birthmark on his body.”
“They originally wanted to report the case to the police, but when they thought about the child’s unknown origins, they didn’t dare to report it. After searching around for a while without finding anything, they gave up.”
"All these years, they still haven't found the child's whereabouts..."
After listening to the story, the police officers inquired in detail about the approximate location where the child went missing, and then carefully searched and contacted many residents who lived nearby at the time.
The child had been missing for so long, and the information was so vague, that they hadn't had much hope. But just when they thought all hope was lost and were about to give up, they actually managed to find an eyewitness.
"That witness was the owner of a century-old iron shop."
"According to him, he was forging iron under the small shed outside the shop that day when it suddenly started raining heavily. He didn't have time to do his work and hurriedly went to pack up his things."
"While I was packing up the things, I saw a child whose clothes and age were very similar to what the couple surnamed Yin had described."
Hearing this, Xie Mingzhu's previously dead heart was rekindled.
She looked at Lu Qunli with longing.
"Did he see where my child went? Was he taken away by someone?"
"You were right about that."
The old blacksmith said that the rain came suddenly and was particularly heavy, with lightning and thunder in the sky, which was very frightening.
The child walked aimlessly and alone in the rain, his cries half-hidden by the sound of the rain and thunder.
The old blacksmith felt sorry for the child, who seemed lost and had no parents looking for him. His heart softened, and he wanted to help him.
In the short time he went back inside to get an umbrella, the child suddenly disappeared.
Xie Mingzhu suddenly stood up from her seat, her eyes wide.
She was so excited that the chair was knocked to the side by her movements, making a loud, jarring sound.
People around him couldn't help but cast puzzled and curious glances at him.
Xie Mingzhu couldn't care less about anything else; her eyes were red with nervousness, and she choked up a little.
"How could he disappear? Where could such a small child go? Did he fall down? Didn't the old blacksmith look for him more carefully?"
In her moment of panic, Xie Mingzhu startled Lu Qunli, a police officer.
He didn't dare delay and quickly nodded.
