Chapter 953: You’re the Murderer, Aren’t You?
Soon, the princ.i.p.al of the kindergarten also received the notice and immediately called to confirm whether the child of the Lou family was in his cla.s.s.
However, after confirming, the homeroom teacher found that the child was not in his seat.
The princ.i.p.al personally went to verify. He heard from the homeroom teacher that the child had drunk too much water and wanted to go to the bathroom. So, the new teacher had brought him there.
“How long has it been?”
“Twenty minutes.” The homeroom teacher raised his hand to look at his watch and said.
“He hasn’t come back in twenty minutes. Shouldn’t you go and take a look?” The princ.i.p.al panicked immediately and hurriedly brought his a.s.sistant to the bathroom to look for him. However, there was no trace of the child.
Seeing this, the princ.i.p.al immediately got someone to check the surveillance cameras. Other than the school bus going out, nothing was caught on camera, no other suspicious activity.
With this situation, the princ.i.p.al immediately replied to the police. It was possible that the person was on the school bus and had already been abducted.
Tang Yan immediately requested for the school bus the license plate number. He also sent someone to the transportation department to ask them to a.s.sist in the investigation.
As for Xu Che, he went to the school according to the plan. This was to prevent Shen Mei from creating a diversion, because it was very likely that she was still hiding the child in the school.
Xu Che searched all over the school. He went to all the places one could possibly hide people. In the end, he stopped on the fifth floor of the bathroom and asked the security guard, “Can you open the door to the balcony for me to see?”
The security captain thought for a moment and answered him, “Sir, this place has been sealed for years. It’s impossible for anyone to go up.”
“Is it impossible? We’ll know once we go up. If the child is up there and something happens, will you take responsibility?”
The security did not. So, he quickly took out the key and opened the door to the rooftop on the fifth floor.
Other than a locked storage room, there was nothing else.
The security guard heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. “Look, I told you. There won’t be any problems, right?”
Right at that moment, a child’s moan came from the storeroom.
Xu Che immediately stepped forward and kicked open the storeroom door. He saw a child about three or four years of age tied up and hung from a beam.
If he hadn’t come up, no one would know that the child was up here.
Xu Che strode forward and immediately got the child down.
When the security guards saw this, they had nothing to say because they felt very guilty.
“Are these the security guards of your school? Are you all just decorations?” After shouting, Xu Che carried the child and ran down from the balcony.
The Song family’s madness had reached the point where they were shameless enough to not even let a child off.
Xu Che had never seen such a scene. Such a young child hung so high up.
How big of a trauma was this to him? It was possible that he would be affected for the rest of his life.
“Uncle… Am I going to die?” The child asked Xu Che softly in his arms.
Xu Che stopped and squatted. He let the child sit on his legs as he answered, “You won’t die because Uncle has come to save you. Child, remember, the most powerful person in this world is a soldier. If you’re afraid in the future, become a soldier and become a policeman to catch bad people. Do you understand?”
The child seemed to understand what Tang Yan was saying, but he nodded his head heavily.
After he finished speaking, Xu Che carried the child and sent him to the infirmary.
One would think that Xu Che could heave a sigh of relief at this point. However, when he saw the female doctor who was wearing a mask and holding a medical device, things felt very unnatural. What kind of doctor would be so nervous treating a patient that he or she would tremble?
Immediately after, the nurse shut the door.
But, at this critical moment, Xu Che barged in and grabbed the doctor’s hand. “You’re the murderer, aren’t you?”
The female doctor began to dodge, and the nurse took a close look at her face.
“You’re not Doctor Gao?”
The woman struggled to escape, but she fell into Xu Che’s hands. Unless it was a dead person, no one could escape from his shackles.
Soon, Old Cheng and the others caught up to the school bus. They thought that since Shen Mei was caught at school, there wouldn’t be any problems with the school bus. However, Old Cheng recognized the driver of the school bus.
It was Shen Mei’s accomplice.
This time, Old Cheng was not like how he was in J City, with his intestines blown up. He took out his gun and pointed it at the back of the man’s head. After the man surrendered, he pressed him against the steering wheel and handcuffed him.
“You won’t even let a child go. Let’s see where you two thieves run to this time.”
..
During the morning operation, Tang Yan had successfully rescued the child with Xu Che’s help and managed to arrest Shen Mei and her accomplice.
When Mu Qiqi received the call, she couldn’t help but smile as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.
“The child is fine. The doctor has seen him. Captain Tang and the others will bring him to you in a while. In the future, you have to take care of him and don’t let him retain any scars.”
When Mrs. Lou heard this, she immediately squatted and heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank G.o.d.”
Lou Zichen also thanked Mu Qiqi a few times.
“What are you thanking me for? It’s our job…”
After a long hour, the child was brought back to the police station. Following that, two suspects followed suit.
Tang Yan returned the child to the Lou couple and instructed Old Cheng to keep an eye on the two suspects in the interrogation room.
Mrs. Lou saw the child and tears streamed down her cheeks. “Baby, Baby, let Mommy take a good look at you. Are you alright?”
The child leaned into his mother’s embrace. “Uncle is so amazing. Uncle saved me.”
The child pointed at Xu Che who was standing at the door.
“It’s good that you’re alright. It’s good that you’re alright…”
The family of three hugged each other. Mu Qiqi stood at the side and understood the feeling of having regained what she had lost.
She was very pleased to see this scene, but at the same time, she knew that she had to continue investigating Lou Zhao’s case.
So, she walked up to Tang Yan and asked, “Captain Tang, when do you plan to interrogate the two of them?”
“When the results of the hair test are out,” Tang Yan crossed his arms and answered. “Otherwise, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Lou Zhao’s death is also related to her.”
“During the interrogation, can I… also partic.i.p.ate?”
Tang Yan looked at Mu Qiqi and then looked at her bulging abdomen. “Go back and rest. You’ve done everything you can. Leave the rest to us.”
“I’m afraid that these two people won’t admit or reveal who ordered them to do it.”
“Even so, you don’t have to be here. If there’s any news, I’ll inform you. I know that you want to deal with the Song family, and so do I, but we’re law enforcement officers. We’ll talk about the evidence.”
