Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Su Xuan arrived in the room, he had already thoroughly examined the surroundings. Simultaneously, his radar quickly covered the entire villa. Under his detection, the villa displayed a clean and transparent blue system, with one exception—the children’s room.
Su Xuan wasn’t one to hide or withhold information. If he sensed sothing was amiss, he wouldn’t hesitate to investigate. He promptly approached the children’s room and swung the door open with a brisk motion.
Inside, he was t with a pair of startled eyes. Su Xuan was taken aback. Wait, there’s soone here?
Maintaining his posture with the door ajar, Su Xuan stared inside for a while, his eyes filled with surprise. The children’s room was beautifully decorated, complete with a half-ter-tall Iron Man model in the corner, indicating how much the couple had adored their child.
However, the Iron Man model in the children’s room had been opened, and the little guy, sweating profusely, had just removed the helt to reveal a fluffy head. He certainly hadn’t expected soone to suddenly open his bedroom door.
Staring with wide eyes, he looked at Su Xuan. When he saw the police uniform, he gradually cald down. Instead of causing a fuss, he cautiously asked, “Are you a policeman, mister? Can you tell where my mommy and daddy went? They seem to be missing.”
The child’s eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, mixed with a glimr of hope. As Su Xuan maintained his door-opening posture, every muscle in his body tensed upon seeing the child.
Hearing the child’s words, Su Xuan softened his approach. He walked cautiously towards the child and spoke gently, “Don’t be afraid, little one. Uncle is a police officer. Your mom and dad aren’t here right now.”
He paused for a mont, estimating that the child was around four or five years old. Su Xuan didn’t want to speak too directly, at least not yet. With a reassuring tone, he continued, “Tell Uncle, how did you end up here? Can you co out? Do you need Uncle’s help?”
As he spoke, Su Xuan extended his hand slowly towards the child. He approached delicately, making only a small step. After all, the child was very young.
However, even though the child saw Su Xuan in a police uniform, he couldn’t forget the screams of his parents from that night. He didn’t know what had happened to them. His mother had told him that if anything happened at ho, he should hide inside the doll and not co out until she ca to get him.
Little Zhouzhou didn’t understand why his mother had said that, but he believed her. So, that night when his parents scread downstairs and strange sounds echoed, he stayed hidden inside the doll for a long ti.
But, he got too hungry. Zhouzhou wasn’t obedient; he crawled out of the doll, took a tiny bit of food, and then went back inside. Why wasn’t his mother coming? Zhouzhou thought and thought, and he got hungry again. He crawled out of the doll once more, wanting more to eat.
It seed like many people had co into the house, walking around. Zhouzhou didn’t dare say a word while inside the doll, but he was eventually discovered. What should he do? Where was his mother?
Zhou Qiang and his team had been investigating the surroundings for quite so ti when they suddenly realized that Su Xuan had been missing for a good part of the day. They quickly began searching for him. Downstairs, Officer Yu and his team heard the commotion from upstairs and rolled their eyes in exasperation.
Officer Yu couldn’t help but think that those officers from the local police station were unreliable. If they had taken charge of the case, it would have been solved by now. Yet, these guys were feeling self-assured, thinking they could handle it, and now it had been nearly half a day with no leads. Didn’t they understand that ti was money?
However, Officer Yu took a deep breath when he found a lead in his investigation. If those officers from the local police station didn’t co to him asking for information, he’d be surprised. On one side, Officer Yu found a lead and discreetly reported back to the Criminal Investigation Division. On the other side, Zhou Qiang and his team finally found Su Xuan.
Then, they were left dumbfounded as they saw Su Xuan holding a child of about four or five years old.
“Su Xuan… Where did you get this child?” Zhou Qiang, who had worked with Su Xuan for a longer ti, was bolder in his thinking.
“I rember this… I rember that the deceased couple seed to have a child,” he said, stopping himself from saying ‘the dead.’ He had noticed the glare Su Xuan gave him when he was about to ntion the deceased. Zhou Qiang looked at the child in Su Xuan’s arms and quickly corrected himself. “Yes, it’s him. This child has been hiding inside a half-ter-tall Iron Man model. We didn’t notice him before.”
Su Xuan nodded in agreent. On the day of the incident, they received an ergency call and rushed to the scene along with the ambulance service. Upon arrival, they realized that sothing unusual was going on. The male and female hoowners were almost dead at the scene, and the police didn’t waste any ti; they imdiately had the ambulance take them away. However, not all the officers went to the hospital; so stayed behind to investigate.
Back then, they hadn’t noticed this little guy. It seed he was hidden quite well. Thinking about this, Zhou Qiang glanced at Su Xuan. After all these years working together, he had a good understanding of Su Xuan’s thought process. Could it be that Su Xuan hoped the child might know sothing?
Feeling Zhou Qiang’s gaze, Su Xuan had no intention of arguing. He brought the child out precisely for this reason. Whether he was heartless or not, he needed to record a statent from this child, who had lost both parents. The care and concern now would save him from future suffering. The primary focus now was finding the killer of this child’s parents. The child’s emotional well-being ca second.
The team exchanged glances and agreed with Su Xuan’s approach.
“Let’s head downstairs,” Su Xuan finally said. “Have you found any clues?”
While walking downstairs, he asked about the progress. After all, Zhou Qiang and the others were experienced police officers, and they had indeed found sothing in the study.
“We discovered surveillance footage on the study computer,” Zhou Qiang explained. “The surveillance cara was cleverly disguised as a pinhole cara attached to a lamp. It was well-hidden and difficult to notice, especially with the lamp blocking it. Normal people wouldn’t think to look at the lamp, but when it shone down, the image beca clear.”
It seed like one of the hoowners had installed it. Unfortunately, the footage from that night showed the suspect wearing a mask and a black overcoat, with their body wrapped up tightly, making it impossible to identify their face or body shape..
