"Oh? Since she's gone, why didn't you report it to the police? Aren't you afraid something might happen to her?"
Hong's mother shook her head again, "No, this has happened before. She's probably either at a friend's or a relative's house. Nothing will happen!"
Su He frowned when she heard how certain she sounded. "Do you know where she went this time? And why didn't she even go to work after running away from home? Do you know anything about that?"
Hong's parents stiffened upon hearing this, but ultimately shook their heads, saying, "I'm not quite sure."
Su He was a little angry that they seemed to be hiding something, but she still patiently asked, "Since you don't know where she is or what her situation is, have you ever thought that something might happen to her?"
Hong's mother frowned upon hearing this. "What does this policeman mean?"
"It's nothing, we just recently discovered a deceased person, and someone reported that she looks somewhat like your daughter. We wanted to confirm with you."
The two were stunned upon hearing this. "How could this be? It couldn't be Xiaoling's, Xiaoling, she..."
At this point, Hong's mother suddenly stopped.
It was Hong's father, who had been silent until now, who spoke up: "Can we see the deceased's photo?"
Without hesitation, Su He took out the photos. Hong's father glanced at them and breathed a sigh of relief. Hong's mother quickly came over, and after looking at them, the worry on her face disappeared, and she even smiled.
Upon seeing this, Su He understood, "Isn't this your daughter?"
"Of course not, our Xiaoling is perfectly fine, how could it be her?"
"Oh? Where is your daughter now?"
"She is here..."
Hong's mother replied subconsciously, but stopped halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
But Su He wasn't going to be fooled by them anymore. "Why did you stop talking? Where is she?"
Hong's mother turned her face away, not daring to look at her.
Seeing this, Qi Yang said coldly, "What's going on? What are you hiding? Tell us now, or we'll take you away as suspects!"
These words startled Hong's mother, who immediately looked at Hong's father.
Mr. Hong sighed, "Fine, since the police want to know, we'll tell you. But it really has nothing to do with your case."
Seeing that Su He and the others didn't seem to believe him, Mr. Hong sighed and continued, "That wretched girl, she's a good-for-nothing. She started dating someone a while ago without telling the family, and who knew she'd end up with a child..."
She was afraid we would be angry, and she was also ashamed, so she had an abortion without telling us. As a result, she was too afraid to go to the hospital and bought abortion pills from somewhere that were too strong!
She suffered a severe hemorrhage after taking the medication, but fortunately her mother discovered it in time and rushed her to the hospital, where she was saved.
However, because the incident was too embarrassing, she didn't dare ask for leave from work. After being rescued, she went back to her hometown, planning to return after recovering.
Su He and the others fell silent upon hearing this, finally understanding why Hong's parents had that expression.
This is indeed a very embarrassing thing to talk about in this day and age.
However, Su He now understood why they confirmed it was not Hong Xiaoling after just one glance at the photo. The photo was blurry, and it was impossible to see her face, so how could they confirm it wasn't Hong Xiaoling so quickly?
So they knew where their daughter was all along!
However, Su He and the others didn't say much. They would have to go to the hospital to investigate further. If what they said was true, they would have no more doubts.
