When he received this result, Su Jin was at home.
He stood at the door, looking from afar at Tao Tao who was picking flowers with Qin Jingzhu in the yard.
The sunlight fell on Tao Tao's face, and her smile looked so carefree, completely unaware of the storm outside.
Su Jin's smile curled slightly, but he quickly put it away. "Any clues about Tao Tao's biological parents?"
Speaking of this, Zuo Yangxia on the other end of the phone also had a headache.
Suspected of child trafficking and abuse, Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan have been detained by police and will likely remain in custody for the foreseeable future. Their specific punishments will depend on the police's subsequent investigation. Even so, the two remain silent about Tao Tao's background.
As a result, Tao Tao's life experience remains an unsolved case.
How did Tao Tao become the child of Qu Kun and Cui Xiu Lan?
Was she trafficked?
Or was it for some other reason that he went to Qu Kun and Cui Xiu Lan's home?
After explaining the current situation to Su Jin, Zuo Yangxia couldn't help but sigh: "Tao Tao's DNA has been sent to the DNA database for matching, and the results will be out in the next few days. If Tao Tao's biological parents have left DNA samples at the police station, there is a possibility of finding them. However..."
Zuo Yangxia hesitated for a moment before saying the following words.
Although the DNA database has been improved compared to a few years ago, it does not cover everyone, and there is still a possibility that there is no DNA match.
Su Jin also understood what Zuo Yangxia meant and fell silent for a moment.
He stared at Tao Tao playing in the yard with a soft look in his eyes: "No matter what, I won't leave Tao Tao alone."
***
The scene of Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan being taken away by the police was posted online in real time by many self-media outlets, and various marketing accounts also followed this hot event.
But even though the police had sent Tao Tao's DNA data to the database for matching, there was still no result.
In this case, it is very likely that Tao Tao's biological parents have never entered their information into the police database.
Just when things were about to reach a stalemate, the police who went to Qu Kun and Cui Xiu Lan's hometown to investigate found some unexpected clues.
Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan were from the same hometown. Their former neighbors said they never knew what their jobs were, except that they would occasionally go out for a while and then return with bulging sacks.
When the neighbor was told that Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan had a daughter, and Tao Tao's age, she was surprised. However, she assured the investigating police that according to her memory, Cui Xiulan had never been pregnant during that time. As for where Tao Tao came from, the neighbor also had no idea.
The neighbor's answer seemed to solve some mysteries, but it also made Tao Tao's true life experience shrouded in greater mystery.
Although surveillance has become much more advanced, Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan have always been hiding in dilapidated residential buildings with little surveillance. According to investigations, they have changed more than a dozen addresses over the past 20 years, and each time they have been looking for places with little surveillance around.
Although the results of this investigation did not reveal the secret of Tao Tao's life experience, it made the police who went to investigate more vigilant. They vaguely realized that there seemed to be a huge secret hidden behind this seemingly ordinary couple.
Just as the police were about to return, they caught a glimpse of a figure peeking from the corner of the wall. "What's going on?"
The police just asked a question, but found that the other party's eyes immediately showed fear, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
This unusual reaction immediately attracted the attention of the police.
"Stop! Don't run!"
Without thinking too much, the police led the team to chase after him.
After catching this man, although he didn't say a word, the local police who were traveling with him recognized that this figure was a frequent visitor to the local police station, often coming into the police station for petty thefts.
Seeing the other party panicking but not saying a word, the leading police officer suddenly had an idea and said a name to the other party: "Qu Kun."
Hearing this name, the other party trembled almost subconsciously.
The case is solved.
After being taken to the police station, the man initially refused to speak, until the police asked him, "Did you know that Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan have already confessed everything about you?"
The other person's eyes moved slightly.
Seeing that there was a chance, the police continued to lie: "They claimed that you led them to do these things..."
Hearing this, the other party finally couldn't hold back and cursed loudly: "Go to hell!"
After thinking that Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan had betrayed him, the other party finally gave in and revealed what happened that year.
He said he worked as an assistant to Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan, mainly helping them clean up their mess. After Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan left the city, he wanted to stay and separated from them. After that, he could only do some petty theft.
As for Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan's "job", the other party was silent for a long time before speaking. Three words made the police almost lose control of their expression.
"Kidnap a child."
According to the other party's confession, Qu Kun and Cui Xiu Lan particularly liked to kidnap good-looking children and then secretly sell them to wealthy families.
Speaking of Tao Tao, the other party still had some impression of her, but he was not sure where she came from.
"It seemed like one day, I suddenly brought it back..."
Although the other party's account was rather sketchy, the police were able to quickly identify the possible routes based on the information provided, and traced the hospital and medical records to identify the young couple who were likely Tao Tao's parents.

"Hello." Su Jin answered the phone and was stunned after hearing the first half of the sentence. "Did you find it?"
"Yes, but..." Thinking of the news he had heard, Zuo Yangxia couldn't help but sigh with mixed emotions, "Tao Tao's parents have passed away."
According to the police's investigation, after discovering that the child had been stolen, Tao Tao's biological mother was heartbroken and her biological father almost burst into tears on the spot. On the way to the police station to report the case, the couple unfortunately encountered a car accident and died on the spot.
The tragic circumstances of the accident sparked a period of discussion in the local area. It is speculated that this may be the reason why Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan did not sell Tao Tao locally, but hurriedly moved to another city.
After the two died, both parents were devastated to see their children die. Now only Tao Tao's biological grandmother is alive. She was sent to a nursing home due to Alzheimer's disease. DNA testing has confirmed that the two are indeed related.
Tao Tao was playing in the yard when she was suddenly picked up from behind and lifted into the air.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't scare the child!" Qin Jingzhu was startled and spoke hurriedly.
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, but when she smelled the familiar scent, she immediately burst into smiles.
She hugged Su Jin with both hands, and seeing the emotions in Su Jin's eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to smooth Su Jin's brows: "Brother, are you unhappy?"
"A little bit." Su Jin pretended to sigh, "I feel sad when I think Taotao can't stay at my house forever."
"Brother, don't be sad." Tao Tao said immediately, "As long as brother is not sad, Tao Tao can do anything."
Hearing this, Su Jin raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Tao Tao nodded vigorously: "Really."
After getting the answer he wanted, Su Jin finally spoke up and asked his real question: "Then... is it okay for Taotao to stay at her brother's house forever?"
"Ah?" Tao Tao couldn't help but open her mouth slightly when she heard this unexpected question.
In the consciousness space, the system that knew what Su Jin had been doing these days couldn't help but send out an angry signal.
[I was actually beaten to the punch! ]
The next moment, the system became a little confused again.
[Now, how can I complete the mission...]
Although it was entangled, the system did not realize that it had never considered preventing Tao Tao from being adopted by Su Jin.
Tao Tao was unaware of the system's entanglement. Her mind quickly flashed back to the time she spent with Su Jin and her life in her original home. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, but she still pursed her lips: "Is it okay?"
Seeing Tao Tao's reaction, Su Jin couldn't help but smile.
"sure."
Su Jin put his hand on Tao Tao's cheek and said, "From today on, welcome to be my daughter."
"Hey?" Tao Tao's eyes widened. "Isn't she my sister?"
With a hearty laugh, Qin Jingzhu walked to Tao Tao's side. Regardless of Su Jin's dark face, she smiled and said, "Tao Tao, how about calling me mom?"
