Chapter 425 The Timid Father, For His Daughter
Reading Settings
Chen Hui drove the children to a hospital in the city. Only the People's Hospital in Beijing has better medical equipment and medicine. Sending the two children there would increase their chances of survival.
Ever since Qiu Jun and Yan Qingyun saw the way the two children had been tortured, they had been holding back their anger. They both looked menacing. If any human traffickers showed up now, they would probably beat them to a pulp. It would be a miracle if they weren't killed.
"This is it. Chen Hui and I originally split up. I guessed that those people were likely hiding in empty houses in the county. Chen Hui searched in the old town area, while I came here. After finding this house, I climbed over and found shoe prints under the weeds in the yard. So I started searching here. Finally, I found that the wooden board under the water tank was hollow, and that's how I discovered the cellar."
Bai Nuo recounted in a logical and well-reasoned manner how she discovered the child, and then led the two people to the cellar where the child was found.
Yan Qingyun glanced at the dilapidated iron cage inside, his face turning ashen with rage, and punched the wall next to him.
Bai Nuo glanced at it indifferently and rolled her eyes: "If you break your own bones again, who will do the work? We're already short-handed."
Yan Qingyun's hand stiffened slightly, and she awkwardly withdrew it: "Sorry, I was too angry and couldn't control myself."
"Save your anger for catching people. When you catch them, I'll cover for you. Doesn't the chief have that thick book? Let's steal it... borrow it, put it on your chest, and even if you hit someone with a hammer, they won't die, and the medical examination won't show any injuries, but... it will hurt a lot!"
Without hesitation, Yan Qingyun nodded quickly: "Okay, it's settled then."
Qiu Jun twitched his lips, speechless as he looked at the two of them. One of them really dared to teach, and the other dared to learn.
As he turned around, he left with the words, "I'll borrow the book from the bureau chief."
The three of them thoroughly inspected the house, inside and out. Given the fact that someone was hiding in the cellar, they moved and checked everything inside the house, leaving no stone unturned.
"Captain Qiu, Bai Ke, I went to inquire around the area, and so far no one has seen anyone enter or leave this place."
Ma Dongliang walked in from outside. He was tall and imposing, like a small mountain. He had a fierce look on his face, and Bai Nuo and Yan Qingyun were afraid that he would scare them away, so they didn't dare to tell the truth.
"The person should still be in the county!" Bai Nuo came out of a storage room in the courtyard, carrying a broken pot in her hand, and showed it to the group of people. "The weather is cold now, so food doesn't spoil as easily, but it will still solidify if left for too long. But look at this pot of stuff..."
Qiu Jun frowned: "They must have left in a hurry, taking everything they could with them, and hiding the rest. Where did this trouble come from?"
"In the storage room over there, there is still very obvious charred wood. This pot and that pile of wood were buried under a pile of broken junk."
Qiu Jun's eyes flashed with malice as he turned to Ma Dongliang: "Quickly, the Tongzhi Armed Forces Department, increase manpower to strictly block off all intersections in Pingchang County. Gather everyone and have them go door-to-door asking questions."
"yes!"
As the four people stepped out of the main gate, a faint voice came from around the corner.
"Excuse me, are you a police officer?"
The four of them looked over at the same time. A short, thin man with his head completely covered up peeked out from around the corner, his eyes filled with apprehension and wariness.
Qiu Jun glanced at Yan Qingyun. Of the four of them, only Yan Qingyun looked relatively gentle. If you didn't look at his height, he would look like a fair-skinned, weak, and pale-faced young man. You couldn't tell that this guy had a strong physique under his clothes.
As for Bai Nuo...
Qiu Jun never even considered having her communicate with the other party. After all, she was a woman, and a technician at that. When the entire criminal investigation team went on a mission, they would instinctively protect her behind them.
"Hello sir, I'm a police officer from the municipal branch. May I ask..."
Yan Qingyun walked over and talked to the other person for a few minutes, then quickly walked back: "Captain, that comrade said that when he came back from his night shift last night, he saw people jumping out of this yard, each of them carrying a large sack on their shoulder. The moon was quite bright last night, and he saw the faces of two of them."
Qiu Jun and Bai Nuo's eyes lit up when they heard this, and an indescribable excitement rose in their hearts.
Finally, we have a clear lead! That's great!
"painting!"
"I'll do it!"
The two men spoke at the same time and quickly walked towards the comrade.
That man was timid; otherwise, he wouldn't have wrapped himself up like that and run to the police station. In fact, he had been agonizing over this all day until his brother-in-law, who worked at the Armed Forces Department, came back and told him to keep a close eye on the children and not let them leave the house. Only then did he realize that the police were looking for human traffickers who had abducted more than a dozen children. Looking at his own little daughter who had just learned to call him "Dad," he impulsively ran out.
He was timid from a young age, so his mother specially found him a wife who was exceptionally brave.
After hearing his brother-in-law's words, he was really scared, but... he was even more afraid of losing the precious daughter that his wife had worked so hard to give birth to for him.
His wife is so brave; she even cried when she gave birth. How could he let his daughter be in danger of being abducted?
Bai Nuo is highly skilled at sketching figures; basically, as soon as someone describes something, she has already drawn it into a picture.
Just as the man finished speaking, Bai Nuo had already completed the two portraits in her hands. After confirming with the other party that they were correct, she quickly lowered her head and drew several more identical portraits.
