Ming Jing nodded: “I understand, you go back and rest with your wife.”
Qin Xu thought to himself that Ms. Zhu was quite impressive for her young age, then left with Han Suwen.
Han Suwen took a few steps and looked back at Ming Jing.
Qin Xu pulled her impatiently and yelled, “Are you coming or not?” Han Suwen silently followed Qin Xu and left.
Ming Jing thought for a moment and returned to the police station.
Officer Zhao Ke saw Ming Jing return and came over to ask, “Is there anything else you need, Miss?”
He had been the one to take her statement earlier.
Ming Jing asked, “There should be a record of the case file of Qin Xu’s and Han
Suwen’s daughter, who was stolen five years ago in your police station, right?” Zhao Ke thought for a moment and said,
“Could you bring out the record for me to take a look?”
This request made Zhao Ke somewhat uncomfortable, as not just anyone could look at the police station’s archives. He asked, “Ms. Zhu, do you think there’s something questionable about this case?”
“I sympathize with Ms. Han’s situation, and I happen to have a friend who has experience in this area. I was wondering if I could find some clues to help Ms.
Han.”
Zhao Ke thought for a moment and said, “How about this, I’ll ask our director for permission. I can only show you the records if our director approves.”
After all, they were gathering clues to solve the case, and considering the girl’s background, the director didn’t want to offend anyone, so he agreed.
Zhao Ke pulled up the electronic records, which were more convenient than physical ones. However, his workstation was a mess, with documents scattered everywhere and a leftover cup of instant noodles from the night before, emitting a nauseating smell.
Zhao Ke glanced at Ming Jing. The clean and beautiful girl looked like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ming Jing didn’t mind, walked over and sat at his workstation, carefully browsing through the case file.
Zhao Ke accompanied her, getting familiar with the case file again.
In the evening of April 1st, five years ago, at 5:50 pm, Han Suwen’s mother-in-law, Cai Ping, was cooking at home. She took her just over one-month-old granddaughter for a walk in a baby stroller in the small garden of the community. She greeted some acquaintances along the way and exchanged parenting experiences with a few other mothers in the garden. At 6:15 pm, the other moms went home for dinner. Han Suwen received a phone call from her company concerning work matters, so she spoke for a bit longer than usual, about three or four minutes. At the time, there was no one else in the gazebo, so she didn’t think too much of it and occasionally looked back at her daughter. In the middle of the conversation, she got into a heated argument and moved a bit further away from her daughter, who was sleeping. This took about half a minute. When she came back after hanging up, her daughter had disappeared from the stroller.
Han Suwen went crazy at the time, running around looking for help. The security room received the news and immediately called the police. When the police arrived, they accessed the CCTV footage, but it was very coincidental that the cameras in the garden were broken for two days, and no one entering or leaving the community looked suspicious. In short, a baby simply vanished. The case had no leads, so after a while, the investigation eventually stalled.
After reading through the file, Ming Jing frowned and asked, “What about Cai
Ping? Why isn’t there a record of her statement in the file?”
“Because she sprained her ankle two days before the incident, she had trouble moving around. The Qins lived in an old residential building at the time, which made it difficult for her to go up and down the stairs. She never left the apartment before or after the incident.”
Ming Jing looked at the young policeman who spoke, no more than twenty-something years old, looking shy as he lowered his head under her gaze.
Zhao Ke said, “This is my colleague Xu Huan. He was an intern at the police station when the case happened and did a lot of the legwork, making him one of the most familiar with the case.”
Xu Huan said, “When I went to the Qin residence with Officer Tian to get information for the first time, Cai Ping, the mother-in-law, was so terrifying. She scolded Han Suwen viciously right in front of us. I couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up for Han Suwen, and she scolded me as well.” It seemed that he remembered the terrible scene that day and quickly patted his chest.
Ming Jing knitted her brow and asked, “Does Cai Ping favor boys over girls?”
“She certainly does. The reason she dislikes Han Suwen is because she gave birth to a girl for the Qins. Qin Xu is a civil servant and can only have one child. According to the neighbors, she scolded Han Suwen every day, saying that she
caused the end of the Qin family.”
“What was her attitude when the child went missing?
