Hongjiang District, Criminal Investigation Unit.

Bai Muchuans appearance surprised the detectives at the office.

Boss, are you reluctant to leave us? Were so moved!

Scram, dont talk nonsense! Bai Muchuan glared at Detective Tang. Youre in-charge of this case?

Yes! Heheh, Captain Bai has a good eye. You even know this without asking.

Detective Tang was a rookie detective. To put it nicely, letting him take this case might be good experience for him. However, it also showed that the police did not pay much attention to this case.

The fog this morning was rather thick. When the kidnapping took place, it was rather deep in the alley, and the sky was still dim. We visited a lot of people, but basically, most of them did not see the incident clearly and not sure if it was really a kidnapping case. There are even people who say that it could be an acquaintance whove come to fetch the girl.

Bai Muchuan listened to him as he flipped through the statements.

Detective Tang took a deep breath, his attitude was even more proper.

Captain Bai, currently, the one who insisted that its a kidnapping case is actually a Primary Three boy. The one who reported the case is the boys mother. The boys mother said she only heard a girls scream, and when she turned to look, the car doors were already closed. She called the police as her child insisted her to do so, and that she didnt know anything else.

Bai Muchuan frowned. Wheres the statement of the child?

Detective Tang was in a quandary. The childs mother refused to let him tell us anything. Were still communicating with her

It was common thinking of people to not want to cause trouble. So the only witness who dare to speak the truth was a child?

The child saw what happened, but the adults didnt. Is this the story about the Emperors New Clothes?

Detective Tang saw Bai Muchuans gloomy face and quickly poured him a cup of water.

Heh, Captain Bai, dont worry, were still making our rounds to visit the residents. Therell be news soon!

Hm.

Detective Tang actually did not know why Bai Muchuan was particularly concerned about this case.

Even more so than any other previous cases.

His facial expression, his appearance, and his action from hurrying back from the airport had revealed his emotions.

Listen to me, Little Tang! Bai Muchuan spoke suddenly, his slender fingers tapping on the table lightly, The person who got kidnapped is most probably Xiang Wan. We can start with her social connections and contact the negotiating team to get ready. Once the kidnappers show up

Suddenly, he stopped talking.

Fang Yuanyuan was right about somethingXiang Wan had no money.

What exactly did the kidnappers want from her?

Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes as he contemplated over something.

After a while, he opened the latest chapter of Murder The Dream Guy with his phone.

Xiang Wan had not updated her book for several days.

The last chapter still ended with that paragraph:

Flowers really do not grow from the dust. She would rather keep her lonely heart till old age than insist on a hopeless love.

Bai Muchuan propped up his forehead.

A few seconds later, he turned around to look at Detective Tang.

Little Tang, give me the information of the one who reported the case!

Xiang Wan had a really simple social circle.

There were only a handful of people that she would come in contact with. She stayed home most of the time and hardly contacted her friends as well as her relatives.

It was now 7:00 p.m. Twelve hours have passed since Xiang Wan went missing. Besides Fang Yuanyuan, no one else knew that she had gone missing.

The sky started to get darker.

There was no news from the kidnappers.

The police visited countless residents who might have witnessed the incident.

However, the police did not get any valuable clues from them.

A persons memory could be a weird thing. Even if it was the same incident, each of them told a different story.

The only one who could offer valuable leads should be the mother and son who was closest to the spot where Xiang Wan was taken awaythe ones who reported the case.

However, the mother refused to cooperate with the police. She insisted that the childs current state of mind was not suitable to offer a statement. There was nothing the police could do about her at the moment.

The time was now 7:30 p.m. in the evening.

Bai Muchuan and Detective Huang finally caught the mother and child outside their house as they were trying to sneak back home.

Green Garden Estate.

The mother and son lived in the lower floor of the same building as Xiang Wan; they were neighbors.

The young mother was a little alarmed at the sight of the detectives outside her home.

I really didnt see the incident clearly. As for my son Detective, my son is only eight years old this year. His dads no longer, no longer around. I really dont want him to be involved in these matters.

A widow living with her child would naturally choose not to get involved when it came to such matters.

Bai Muchuan nodded his head and walked closer to the mother and son. He patted the head of the boy who tried to hide under his mothers axilla and showed him a smile.

Your child is very brave. If your husband knew about this, he would be proud of his son.

His smile incited emotions.

The womans eyes went red, but her attitude was still very adamant.

Detective, Ive told you three times about what I saw, theres really nothing else I can say

Bai Muchuan creased his eyebrows and looked directly at her eyes.

How does the girl look like? What did she wear?

The woman shook her head. I didnt see her.

Bai Muchuan asked, What car is that?

The woman was startled for a while. Ive said it earlier that its a white car. As to the fact whether its a kidnap, Im really not sure

Which brand?

I dont know about cars. I cant tell.

Bai Muchuan showed her the pictures of various cars on his mobile phone.

Tell us the type of car. A sedan, SUV or off-road vehicle?

They all look similar, I cant really tell

Once driven out of the alley, it would be the main road. There were countless white cars that flowed into the main traffic, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack without the car model and a car plate number

Suddenly, Bai Muchuan let out a peal of laughter.

Even if it was just a glimpse, the brain would have formed an image. Try describing it in detail

Detective, Ive already described three times. Can you let us go already?

Youve said it three times, but its not quite the same?

I I really cant remember clearly as I didnt pay attention I called the police and told them all that I know. Ive fulfilled the duty of a citizen. The rest of the matter will be up to the police. Please dont give us unnecessary trouble. My child is still young, I dont want our lives to be affected

Bai Muchuan lowered his head as his gaze landed on the little boy who was biting his lips.

Children do not lie, especially the clever and brave little ones.

The woman panicked slightly, but she was unable to hold her sons tongue.

Uncle Detective, I saw everything.

Dont talk nonsense! The woman tried to stop her son.

But I really saw everything. That two bad eggs covered that sisters mouth and made this gesture at us

The woman was horrified and wanted to stop her son but was halted by Bai Muchuans icy and stern gaze.

Hence, the little boy timidly lifted his hand to make a gunshot gesture.

Bai Muchuan smiled and bent down to pat the boys head.

Youre really brave, little one!

He pulled out the police officer badge from his pocket.

Do you know what is this?

Yes, my teacher has taught me about this. This is the national emblem, replied the child with a crisp voice.

That means you dont have to be afraid. Uncle Detective is here.

The woman stayed quiet. She gulped as she looked at the national emblem.

The police could not protect the common people

The police can do it!

If were remembered by criminals, then

Then well destroy them first!

The woman looked at his handsome face blankly.

Ive seen that girl before. She lived upstairs. Sometimes, well see each other in the corridor and greet each other at most. I dont know what she does for a living and dont know why these people wanted to take her away

Its a white Mercedes, I cant remember the car number plate, but it starts with the A number plate, a Jin City car number plate.
