Crew-cut nodded in agreement, but then something seemed to occur to him. “Do you think that Director Li bringing people from the county central hospital over might have discovered something?”
“I originally planned to let that foolish woman Xia Ru die here. It would serve as a deterrent to the clerk and make him cooperate willingly, revealing the truth,” Jiang Lu pondered, stroking his chin.
“But the hospital staff didn’t take Xia Ru away, and then the police showed up… ”
Jiang Lu then turned to Crew-cut and asked, “Are you sure the information that came out is that Xia Ru is not dead?”
Crew-cut hesitated, “The sanatorium is under strict scrutiny now. I only received a message that Xia Ru wasn’t dead, and then the sender turned off their phone.”
“Could it be that Xia Ru died after that?” Crew-cut speculated.
“It’s not impossible,” Jiang Lu’s eyes flickered with a hint of brightness.
“Let’s go back!” Jiang Lu said, his tone revealing a bit of excitement.
Crew-cut didn’t hesitate and immediately turned the car around.
“Brother Song, there was a suspicious car parked outside the sanatorium just now,” a young police officer reported to Officer Song.
“Did you get the license plate number?” Officer Song was flipping through the various reports provided by Director Li, his brows tightly furrowed.
“I didn’t see it clearly,” the young officer hesitated.
Officer Song glanced at him sideways and huffed, “Then why are you reporting this to me?”
The young officer looked a bit aggrieved, “But I recognize that car. There are only two of those in our county!”
Officer Song gave him another look, “Couldn’t it have come from another city?”
“Oh, right…” the young officer mumbled, but then he remembered something, “Brother Song, no! Although I didn’t remember the license plate, it’s definitely a vehicle registered in our county! I remember the first three digits!”
Officer Song slapped the thick pile of reports on the table with a “bang.” “You have a lead and you don’t investigate?! Are you waiting for me to do it for you?”
“Or do you want to read these reports?” Already frustrated with the reports, Officer Song was looking for an outlet for his irritation.
Seeing Officer Song’s reaction, the young officer shrank back and hurriedly said, “I’m going to check it out right now!”
The young officer turned and ran, leaving Officer Song to watch his retreating figure with a sigh, “When will these kids ever give me a break?”
With the series of cases triggered by the psychiatric hospital, several special task forces had been established.
Police departments at the provincial and municipal levels were taking it very seriously, almost demanding that all suspects be apprehended within two days.
But with the county’s limited police force and these youngsters lacking sense and observation skills, it was frustrating.
When will they finally solve the case and get a break?
Officer Song was screaming inside.
After a while, he sighed and went back to reviewing the reports.
When Xia Wan and Chen MO returned to the Xia family’s home, Xia Chen had already arrived.
“Brother, you’re back. Did everything go smoothly?” Xia Wan asked, seeing Xia Chen’s gloomy face.
“Tomorrow, I want to help out at home, ” Xia Chen requested again.
Xia Wan smiled and walked over to him, linking her arm with his, “Brother, don’t worry, Xia Feng and I can handle it!”
But Xia Chen turned to face her, his expression serious, “Did something happen to Xia Ru?”
“How did you know?” Xia Wan was curious about how Xia Chen knew these things but didn’t intend to hide it.
“I met Xia Ye today,” Xia Chen’s face looked troubled, “She said…”
“What did she say?” Xia Wan immediately became alert.
Since Xia Ye was set up for an arranged marriage, she had rarely attended school.
Xia Wan thought Xia Ye had been forced into marriage, but Liu Hua mentioned that the Hua family wasn’t interested in her, so the marriage didn’t happen.
With so many other issues lately, Xia Wan had almost forgotten about Xia Ye.
If she remembered correctly, the last time she saw Xia Ye, Jiang Lu was nearby!
“She said that Xia Ru was sent to the sanatorium and is now completely insane,” Xia Chen reported truthfully, “She also mentioned that when our uncle visited Xia Ru, she was unconscious and couldn’t be woken up.”
“It’s said that she doesn’t have long to live.”
“If our uncle’s and our Darents’ disaDDearance is related. could it also be
connected to Xia Ru’s situation?”
