Upon hearing this, Aunt Lü realized she had gone too far and quickly stood up to apologize: "It's my fault, Officer Su, please don't mind. I was just too worried about my Lili. Although she's disobedient, she's still the one I raised. What would I do if something happened to her?"
"Mom, don't worry, didn't the police say they would try their best to help find her?" Hao Mei, who was standing nearby, reassured her.
But Aunt Lü glared at her after hearing this, "What do you mean don't worry? Of course you're not worried if it's not your child. How can you be so heartless as her sister-in-law? My Lili has suffered so much!"
Hao Mei never expected that she would become her mother-in-law's punching bag just because she said one sentence, and her face turned very ugly.
Seeing this, Su He thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Lü, don't worry. Now that it has happened, there's no use in being anxious. You might as well think about where Lili usually likes to go and see if there are any clues."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lü disregarded everything else and said directly, "We've searched all the places Lili usually goes, and we've also spoken to the police at the local police station, but we haven't found her, and no one has seen her."
Su He frowned upon hearing this. "What did she do yesterday? Did she say anything when she parted ways with the others?"
Aunt Lü's face darkened upon hearing this, but she still spoke up: "Yesterday morning, she and those people went to Teacher Yuan's house in front to ransack it. Before they parted ways in the afternoon, she said she had discovered another bad element and planned to scout ahead first. However, no one else knows exactly whose family it is. The police station suspects it's someone from this area, so they are investigating."
The others understood why Aunt Lü was too embarrassed to speak up.
Niu Lili's actions are outrageous. That Mr. Yuan was her high school teacher, and he was supposedly quite nice to her before. I never expected that she would just copy like that.
Thinking of this, the worry on the other people's faces lessened, and they felt that she had brought it on herself.
Aunt Lü clearly noticed the change in everyone's demeanor, and her expression turned grim, but she still looked at Su He earnestly, hoping she could figure something out.
After listening to this, Su He thought about it carefully and said, "If that's the case, then everything can be traced. After a careful investigation, we should be able to find her route, which will make it easier to find her."
"Really? Is it possible to find Lily?"
Su He shook her head. "We'll have to wait and see what happens next. Don't worry, ma'am. I'll investigate with my colleagues when I get back to the police station tomorrow. I'll let you know when we have any news."
Although Aunt Lü was disappointed, she could only say, "Alright then."
Hao Mei came over in the evening.
Su He was a little surprised to see her. "What's wrong? Is there something else you want to say, Aunt Lü?"
Hao Mei shook her head. "No, I came to tell you that you should do your best with Lili's matter. My mother-in-law is just like that. She was a bit anxious today. I'm afraid she will hate you if you don't find her in the end."
Su He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. As a police officer, even if the person who went missing wasn't Niu Lili, I would still try my best to find her."
"That's good. I was worried about putting pressure on you."
Su He shook her head. "It's alright. With so many police officers working together, we're bound to find some clues."
"Um."
...
After seeing Hao Mei off, Su He carefully considered the information she had learned from Aunt Lü, and felt that there should be a breakthrough in this matter with Niu Lili.
