Chapter 172 A two-year-old child mysteriously disappeared
"Another murder?" Lu Tianlang asked with concern.
His brother-in-law is the captain of the criminal police brigade. The cases that come to his brother-in-law's charge are basically major murder cases. He is not responsible for minor cases.
Lu Tianjie frowned and shook her head. "No one has died yet, but the situation is very bad. A two-year-old child has been missing for half a month. We have conducted a thorough investigation at the airport, train station, bus station, and highway checkpoints, but we have not found the child alive or dead. Your brother-in-law received the case a week ago and has been so busy that he has not even had time to eat."
"Is this kid's family of prominent origin?"
Lu Tianlang also frowned. There were cases of missing children in Shanghai every now and then, but there had never been such a big commotion, and it was even more impossible to ask the captain of the criminal police brigade to investigate the case.
Lu Tianjie nodded, "You know Feitian Group, right?"
"Of course I know. Is the missing child Mr. Rong's?"
Lu Tianlang was shocked. Mr. Rong, the boss of Feitian Group, was elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Shanghai last year. He started from scratch, was young and promising, and was also a major taxpayer in Shanghai.
"The missing one is Mr. Rong's youngest daughter?" asked Lu Tianlang.
As far as he knew, Mr. Rong had a son and a daughter. The elder son had some health problems, which not many people knew about. The younger daughter was very smart and very likable.
Lu Tianjie nodded and sighed, "It's the little princess of the Rong family. She's only two years old. Where can she go in the house? We have dug deep into the Rong family's garden and searched the nearby streets, but there is no trace of her."
"Could it be that the human traffickers took him away to another place?"
Lu Tianjie shook her head and said firmly, "Your brother-in-law said it's impossible. The Rong family called the police in time. If it was a human trafficker, there would be no chance for him to escape from Shanghai, unless he is still hiding in the city. Your brother-in-law and his colleagues have been investigating every day and haven't closed their eyes for three days."
She hopes that her husband will quit his job. Not only will he be worried and anxious, but he will also have trouble eating and sleeping, and his health will be ruined. It would be better for him to quit and stay at home so that she can support him.
Although her monthly salary is not much, her brother is good at managing money, and she also invested in a piano training class opened by a friend, from which she can get a lot of money every year, so she and her husband's salary only makes pocket money.
Lu Tianlang was also worried about his brother-in-law. He felt dizzy just hearing about this case. A living person actually disappeared without leaving any trace. Could it be that he was broken into pieces and then flushed down the drain?
Or cooked and eaten?
Thinking of the plots in the horror novels he had read, Lu Tianlang felt a chill on his back and shivered. He involuntarily moved closer to his sister to absorb some warmth.
"What are you afraid of in broad daylight?"
Lu Tianjie had a look of disgust on his face. He was so old, but still so timid. No wonder he couldn't find a partner.
"Sister, did the pervert cook and eat the child?"
Lu Tianlang's voice trembled. He moved a little closer to his sister and looked behind him. He always felt that there was someone behind him, and it was eerie.
"How would I know? Sit further away!"
Lu Tianjie pushed her brother away impatiently. It was so hot that he was dying of heat if they stuck so close to each other in such hot weather.
Jiang Hanyan and Aunt Wang came back together, the old and the young talking and laughing.
"Aunt, I won't go in. I'll take Master's pulse tonight and prescribe some medicine. Don't worry, don't tell Master about his condition, just tell him to take care of himself. I'll also prescribe some nourishing medicine for you so that Master won't be suspicious. Don't worry about the medicine. Wait until Master gets better before paying."
Jiang Hanyan didn't go into the house, but talked to Aunt Wang at the door.
"That won't work. I can't owe you money for the medicine."
Aunt Wang wanted to go into the house to get the money. She had never owed anyone money in her life.
"I'm really not in a hurry. We are neighbors upstairs and downstairs. Your family won't run away. This is my rule when treating patients. If I can't cure you, I won't charge you. If I can cure you, I'll charge you. It's not cheap. I won't pay you a penny less."
Jiang Hanyan stopped Aunt Wang and said a few witty remarks. Aunt Wang was amused and did not insist on taking the money anymore, but she became more convinced of Jiang Hanyan in her heart.
To dare to say this shows that you have real ability. Nowadays, few doctors dare to say this.
Lu Tianjie in the room also felt ashamed of his petty mind.
"Aunt, I still have to go to school to submit some materials. I'll come over in the evening." Jiang Hanyan said.
"Go quickly, don't delay. If you need materials, just come to me." Aunt Wang was very kind-hearted, and the heavy stone in her heart was gone.
When he entered the house, he smiled and said to his children, "It's okay, you all go back to work and don't affect your work."
"Mom, Miss Jiang is still in school?"
Lu Tianjie was unwilling to go back anyway. She had no classes in the afternoon, her husband was working overtime at the company, and her son was living in the school dormitory during high school, so he would be alone if she went back.
"There's a medical school across the street. Xiao Jiang is studying medicine seriously and is very capable." Aunt Wang said proudly. She had already seen through her daughter's disdain.
Humph, you look down on people with your eyes! Lu Tianjie smiled and said nicely, "Mom, I am worried about you. Who made you get cheated before and lost thousands of dollars?"
"I wasn't cheated. You said they were liars, but I thought they were nice people, sweet-talkers and hardworking. They even helped me take out the trash. You two are heartless. I have supported you for decades, and I have never seen you take out the trash once." Aunt Wang snorted and refused to admit that she had been cheated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At most, it's too expensive and not worth the money.
"I'm taking out the trash for you. It costs hundreds of dollars each time. I'd do it too." Lu Tianlang muttered in a low voice.
He didn't help his parents take out the trash, but he gave them money every month. Whenever his parents had any problems, he and his sister would go home to take care of them. Could those scammers be so nice?
Lu Tianjie glared at him fiercely after being poked hard in the lower back. Lu Tianlang didn't dare to mutter any more and turned his head to look at the refrigerator.
"Mom, it was Tianlang and I who were wrong. We should come back every day to take out the trash!" Lu Tianjie said with a smile.
"You don't have to go to work anymore? Your dad and I are not incapable of taking care of ourselves, and we don't have the time to cook for you. Come back when you have time, otherwise don't come back."
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was so annoyed with him coming back every day, so she still welcomed him to come home every few days.
Lu Tianlang twitched his lips, complaining that they were not as filial as the liar, and also complaining that they came back too often. The old lady was really difficult to serve.
Lu Tianjie was very patient and kept smiling, and finally made Aunt Wang happy.
"Mom, your son-in-law has a very difficult case recently. I would like to ask Miss Jiang for help. What do you think?" Lu Tianjie asked.
"Xiao Jiang doesn't know how to investigate a case!"
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes, thinking her daughter was making trouble.
If the son-in-law couldn't solve the case, Xiao Jiang would be even less likely to do so. If the bad guys wanted to find her, and Xiao Jiang was so pretty, it would be a disaster. Lu Tianjie hurriedly explained, "It's not a murder case, it's a missing child case."
She recounted the disappearance of General Rong's youngest daughter. She didn't remember the details, but she knew that she had been missing for half a month and no one knew whether the child was alive or dead. Old Madam Rong couldn't bear it anymore and sent her to the hospital, calling her granddaughter's nickname every day.
Aunt Wang sighed, clasped her hands together, and said, "Amitabha, what a sin!"
He then said, "I'll ask Xiao Jiang for you tonight. It will be a good deed if you can find the child."
Lu Tianjie was overjoyed and decided to stay for dinner. Lu Tianlang didn't leave either. He wanted to know whether Jiang Hanyan would take care of this matter.
