Chapter 104
104 Enlighten
From meeting Qin Meizhen at the clothing store to Qin Meizhen asking them for help at the stall at the back, to those people wanting to occupy Luo Cheng’s house
, Li Xiaoran told them everything she could.
As for her ability to sense other people’s emotions and empathize, Li Xiaoran did not say anything. She only said that she had seen that the maid’s expression was a little off, so she reminded Qin Meizhen.
Luo Han didn’t suspect anything. Instead, he pondered.
Luo Cheng thought of something and added, “That dead Old Madam Cui’s martial arts skills are extraordinary, but it was obvious that she didn’t master every move. Her aura wasn’t very stable. I suspect that her internal strength came from something fishy. You can get the coroner to examine her carefully. You might be able to find some clues!”
“At that time, I asked Ziyang to follow her secretly and think of a way to save Qin Meizhen. Unexpectedly, Ziyang was plotted against by Old Madam Cui and was poisoned. He could only return. Unexpectedly, Ziyang fainted halfway and rolled into a pile of withered grass to hide from that group of people.”
“How is Ziyang now?” Luo Han knew Ziyang, so he asked with concern.
“When I found him, I detoxified him. There’s nothing serious now, but there are some external injuries, so he needs to recuperate for a period of time! It just so happens that I plan to ask Ziyang to follow me in the future! After all, I have a family now and need to protect many people, so it’s more convenient to let Ziyang follow me!” Luo Cheng said his thoughts.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she finally understood why Luo Cheng had brought Luo Ziyang home. She looked at Luo Cheng gratefully.
It turned out that Luo Cheng had done this to protect her family.
Luo Han could understand Luo Cheng’s intentions and nodded. “It’s not bad that Ziyang can follow you in the open in the future! This kid has always been very loyal to you. It’s a good thing to let him live a normal life!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard this, then changed the topic back to the main topic.
“Did you get any information out of them after we left?”
Luo Han shook his head and said, “I don’t know anything, so I naturally won’t interrogate them rashly. However, the coroner is still conducting an autopsy. I believe he’ll send me news soon!”
“Do you think this group is the same as the group we met a year ago?” Luo Cheng asked.
“It’s hard to say. I still don’t know much about the group of people you sent over. Moreover, as you said, Miss Qin suspects that it was her stepmother who did it, so we can’t rule out the possibility that it was the inner residence! However, according to the things you asked, this group of people definitely won’t be simple accomplices.” Luo Han was very careful not to jump to conclusions before investigating.
“I think you can make good use of that mustached man during your interrogation! This man has evil intentions and isn’t on the same side as the others. He’s definitely a good breakthrough point!” Li Xiaoran recalled the emotions of the group of people and made a suggestion.
Luo Cheng also remembered this and nodded. “That’s right. The man with the mustache looks shifty. It’s obvious that he likes to take advantage of others. You can use him!”
Luo Han nodded and made a note of this.
After that, Luo Han and Luo Cheng talked about the unfinished case from a year ago. However, many children had been lost, so there was a lot of public resentment. However, the authorities in several places failed to capture the people who had taken the children. In the end, the group escaped to Anhua County and entered Luo Han’s jurisdiction. This time, they were caught. It took months of tracking to capture the group and bring them to justice.
However, only half of the children were found, and the other half couldn’t be found.
This matter had always been on Luo Han and Luo Cheng’s minds.
“Have you guys investigated what these children have in common? There must be a reason for such a large-scale random kidnapping. Then what about what the other party wants from these children? Perhaps if we find something in common, we can make progress and investigate further!” Li Xiaoran no longer ate, but held a cup of chrysanthemum tea and said thoughtfully.
“We’ve checked before. These children don’t have anything in common. The birthdays, physical characteristics, and so on aren’t exactly the same. Moreover, these children who were abducted were all from different backgrounds. There are children from rich families, children from rural families, and even a few beggars when we rescued them!” Luo Han explained when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“No, you missed something! These children must have some special aspect, and that’s why they were chosen! Think about it carefully. What’s the purpose of kidnapping children? First, sell them to families who can’t give birth and need children. Second, kidnapping these children for a special use. What use can these children be to those people? Their most likely plan was to train them to become useful. Think about it from these aspects and investigate. You’ll definitely find something!” Li Xiaoran said her opinion clearly.
After Luo Han heard Li Xiaoran’s englightening words, his mind cleared.
“That’s right. Those children must have something in common. Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have abducted them! IThere should be a place those children went. It’s just that so many children aren’t a small number. Even if they sell them one by one, we can always find some traces, but from the beginning to the end, the missing children have never been found. Not a single one! What does this mean? It means that these children must have been secretly hidden by those people!”
Luo Cheng also thought about it and recalled a piece of information he had learned when he was investigating this case.
“I remember a child in our town was kidnapped and saved. When I was looking for this child, I accidentally heard the child’s parents say that their son was very smart, had a good memory, and good computing skills. He was very good at arithmetic at a young age. At that time, I didn’t care. Now that I think about it, maybe the other party abducted this child because of his outstanding ability in this aspect?”
Luo Han thought of something after hearing Luo Cheng’s words.
“A total of three children were kidnapped in Anhua County. The other two were a man and a woman. I remember these two children very clearly. That girl is very observant. The reason she could successfully find the location of those evil people back then was because of what this little girl observed. Then, we found them!”
