Chapter 982: Chapter 485: Heightened Vigilance? Deep Within Enemy Lines
Luo Fei certainly knew how difficult investigating this case would be.
But from his perspective.
Of course, he also hoped to solve the case more quickly.
"Let’s go, we’ll first find that little girl."
Because this time the situation was special, the little girl took over two thousand yuan for living expenses when her mother left.
But it was her first time staying home alone, and she didn’t know how to budget, spending nearly all of it at once.
Then she discovered there was something wrong with her mother.
She also obtained a lot of visual material locally abroad, including asking locals to run errands for her.
So she was nearly out of money.
"Miss, are you at home?"
A moment later.
As Luo Fei and Li Yu arrived at the destination.
They knocked on the girl’s house door.
Upon hearing voices outside.
The girl was initially quite alert.
"Are you really police officers, are you not here to arrest me?"
As she peered out.
Her expression was noticeably extremely vigilant.
But seeing the caution on the faces of the others.
As if worried they might call someone to arrest her.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but shake his head with amusement.
"Miss, we are police officers. We’re not here to arrest you."
Then Luo Fei showed his ID.
After confirming her identity.
The little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I’ve seen reports about you on TV before."
"But I worry, what if someone was disguised as you just to catch me? That would be very troublesome, so I had to ask more questions."
Hearing the girl’s words.
Luo Fei was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Little girl, what are you thinking?"
"This is reality, not a martial arts film, there’s no way there’s disguises or anything like that."
At this moment.
Luo Fei genuinely found it somewhat amusing.
And seeing that he was a bit at a loss.
The little girl also felt slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mr. Luo."
"I was just being cautious, after all, I’m only in high school, home alone, being careful can’t be wrong."
"Well, your awareness of precautions is quite good."
Just looking around.
Seeing the two-bedroom, one-living room home in a complete mess.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but shake his head.
"But if your sense of hygiene could improve a bit, that would be good."
Seeing Luo Fei and Li Yu trying to sidestep into her home.
With almost no place to step.
Song Qingyu felt a bit embarrassed.
"I’m really sorry, Mr. Luo, it’s summer vacation, I just threw a party a couple of days ago."
"But just as I called a cleaner to tidy up, I got a call from my stepfather saying my mom had been kidnapped. So I’ve been quite worried, and haven’t had a break the past few days."
Song Qingyu spoke, awkwardly sticking out her tongue.
Luo Fei wasn’t too concerned.
"Miss Song, tell me, what exactly happened, how did you find out your mom was missing?"
Listening to Luo Fei.
Song Qingyu smiled.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, my mom always disciplined me strictly."
"So she secretly installed many cameras in the house, except for the bathroom and my bedroom. She was worried I’d do something outrageous or pick up bad habits."
Hearing the girl’s hesitant tone.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but admire.
"It proves that your mom is quite good, she’s also an extremely competent parent."
This evaluation was obviously about Luo Fei being speechless at the girl freely throwing parties at home, making the place a complete mess.
This immediately made the girl feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, getting back to the topic."
"Just the day before yesterday morning, as I finished the party and got up, I received a call from the police."
"They said my father was knocked out and sent to the hospital, and my mother, who was on a five-day vacation with my father, suddenly disappeared."
Song Qingyu said this.
It was only then that Luo Fei understood.
Originally, Song Qingyu’s stepfather and mother had planned to spend about seven days outside, enjoying a nice little vacation.
But unexpectedly, on the sixth day, Song Qingyu’s mother had an accident.
This made Song Qingyu extremely worried.
"Mr. Luo, initially I thought it was a simple kidnapper’s ransom case. But later I realized that this matter wasn’t that simple. It could be said it was planned from start to finish."
"Including my stepfather, Luo Qingping, he was involved."
Listening to Song Qingyu.
Luo Fei’s expression also became a bit serious.
"Miss Song, are you sure you know what you’re saying?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s slight hesitation.
Surprised she said something so unexpected.
Song Qingyu spoke seriously.
"Mr. Luo, I’m telling the truth, absolutely beyond any doubt."
"Because my adoptive father said my mom had an accident on the fifth night of their trip. But after obtaining local satellite surveillance and contacting a local uncle to run errands, I found out."
"Actually, my mom disappeared from the fourth day of the trip and was replaced by someone else."
Song Qingyu spoke earnestly.
With a tone full of seriousness.
Luo Fei even thought he misheard.
"Hold on, little girl, what’s the evidence for what you’re saying?"
"Mr. Luo, it’s this photo."
The girl spoke, operating the computer.
Obviously, she was quite familiar with all the computer functions.
