Closing the documents in her hand, Hu Yue couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Song Mengmeng sitting next to her: "Mengmeng, what do you think we should do now?!"
Clearly, simply looking at the information at hand is not enough to determine many valuable clues.
If you really want to resolve this matter, the most straightforward approach is to personally visit the Saint John's Sanatorium in Gaul (France) and see for yourself.
But are they really going?!
"If you want to go, I'll contact the Lin family."
After all, if we want to investigate this matter thoroughly, we definitely need to have a legitimate reason for our investigation!
Therefore, we can use the investigation into Lin Ruolin's disappearance to apply to the Vatican and the nursing home for investigation qualifications!
Only in this way will we avoid encountering man-made obstacles and troubles in certain matters after we leave.
Hu Yue paused for a moment, and before Song Mengmeng could answer, she spoke first about her next plan.
If they rashly travel to Gaul and then go to the gates of St. John's Sanatorium to demand an investigation, the sanatorium will most likely fire them.
But if we get permission from the Lin family, things will be completely different.
Lin Ruolin went missing, and they were commissioned by the Lin family to investigate her whereabouts. With this identity, even if the sanatorium was unwilling, it had to agree to let them in.
Hearing Hu Yue's arrangement, Song Mengmeng did not object. She said in a low voice, "From the day I saw Lin Ruolin, I had an inexplicable feeling. I always felt that this matter was not so simple!"
Moreover, I always felt that this matter was somewhat related to me!
So I think I should go and take a look!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what secrets and conspiracies lie hidden in this sanatorium.
Song Mengmeng only considered it briefly before giving her decision.
She's going to Gaul to visit that sanatorium!
Seeing Song Mengmeng's decision, Yao Anna naturally didn't object. She nodded along with Song Mengmeng, saying, "Anyway, no matter what you think, I'm going to stick with Mengmeng on this matter!"
Anyway, I'm not too busy these days, so it's a good opportunity to go out for some fresh air with Mengmeng.
Since Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna had both made this decision, Hu Yue didn't linger any longer. She still had many things to do. For example, she needed to retrieve the commission from the Lin family, make a backup for the special case team, and then obtain support from her superiors.
These are all necessary!
In comparison, Song Mengmeng and the others seemed to have it much easier.
After a few days of simple preparations, the group of girls, with everything arranged, boarded a plane to Gaul under the pretext of going to see a fashion show.
Yan Di and Song Mengmeng had agreed that he would meet her in two days. But now, they needed to take that first step themselves.
Lin Jiacheng originally planned to come with Hu Yue and the others, but Hu Yue dissuaded him.
Hu Yue stated bluntly that Lin Ruolin's disappearance was no longer a simple, ordinary incident; it involved matters of the underworld. The best help they, as ordinary people, could offer was to stay out of it and cause trouble.
Although Du Ruiyu strongly opposed Hu Yue's statement, Lin Jiacheng expressed his approval and intervened to stop Du Ruiyu from crying and insisting on going to Gaul to find her daughter.
Faced with Du Ruiyu's distress, Lin Jiacheng could no longer bear it, but he could only patiently persuade her: "We can't help much if we go there. Finding Ruolin is the most important thing now!"
Mom, I understand how you feel.
It is precisely because of this anxiety that I am more inclined to stay in China for the time being and wait for news!
After all, even if we went there now, we'd just be a burden and a hindrance to Inspector Hu and her team. The fact that they're going to the trouble of looking for us and then bothering to look after us is a complete waste of resources and their energy searching for Ruolin.
Although Du Ruiyu was still in tears, she listened to Lin Jiacheng's words and stopped her aimless efforts, beginning a period of agonizing waiting.
On the afternoon of the day Song Mengmeng and her group arrived in Gaul, they went to St. John's Sanatorium.
Because they had informed the hospital in advance, the hospital arranged for a person in charge to receive them when they arrived.
Unlike what I had imagined a mental hospital to be, the environment here was surprisingly good.
Hidden among the towering trees is the magnificent tower of the church. As they stroll along the tree-lined path, Rosane, the person in charge of their group, explains the whole story.
"Because Miss Ruolin is currently undergoing the first phase of treatment, we are paying close attention to her."
That morning, the nurse took her to have a check-up, and when she came back, she watched her take her medicine and waited until she went to bed to rest before leaving.
Around noon, a nurse went to deliver lunch, but when she opened the door, she found that Ms. Ruolin was no longer in the ward.
We immediately checked the security camera footage outside her room, but we didn't see Ms. Ruolin come out of the ward at all.
As you know, Miss Ruolin just arrived at the sanatorium, and receiving treatment wasn't something she wanted. We've encountered many patients like her, so initially our thought was that Miss Ruolin might be dissatisfied and had temporarily left the ward through other means, hiding elsewhere in the sanatorium.
"What do you mean by 'other ways'?!"
