Not only that, but the investigation from the police also provided with so very valuable intel.
First, the police believe that the perpetrator was a habitual thief; this was based on their analysis of the footprints found on the cri scene. While the outer side of his shoe sole seed severely worn, the inner side seed relatively well preserved. Similarly, the sole of the shoe had little wear. I agreed with their analysis because that man did seem exceptionally light-footed. As such, it would seem that this man had received so level of training.
But why would an expert thief all of a sudden turn to abducting children? Did he want to change his vocation?
Previously, I thought the police were unaware of the perpetrators face, but they had actually examined the surveillance caras on the streets. They had already obtained a picture of his face; it was the face I saw that night. The police had even obtained his fingerprints. Yet, the police had no records of the fingerprints or his face, so they could not identify him. As such, they failed to locate any of the children.
The case did not seem complicated from the perspective of purely the case details. However, I felt there were things hidden at every turn that I could not explain currently. I brought the information with , intending to find Wu Yu. For so reason, on my way to the repair shop, I kept having this feeling that I had missed sothing important, sothing I just could not put together.
At the shop, Xiaohua told that Wu Yu had gone out with two of his colleagues to a restaurant on the next street for food. He even kindly gave the restaurant address and Wu Yus phone number.
I parked my car in front of an old and run-down restaurant with an oily damp patch on the street in front of it. The outdoor area was still packed with custors even though it was already two in the afternoon. I saw Wu Yu and his colleagues sitting inside right away and was thinking about whether I should head in. At that mont, he saw and called out, Tan Jiao.
His two colleagues imdiately recognized when I walked over and let out surprised smiles before turning their gaze toward Wu Yu to tease him. Yet, Wu Yu seed unaffected by them and pulled over a chair beside himself, gesturing for to co sit before giving his colleges a shut-it look. Although they let out chuckles, they did not say much.
Naturally, I am casual about it. After all, there was nothing between Wu Yu and I. He had only touched my face and hand, no big deal. But when I sat down beside him, being so close to him in public with his eyes on , I suddenly felt my face burning up and dryness in my throat.
Also hunger.
As I realized the fact that I had not eaten anything since morning, I abruptly felt that the leftover cold food in front of looked tasty.
Wu Yu asked, Is there sothing you want to discuss?
I nodded.
Alright, lets talk later.
Okay.
Had lunch?
No, I answered honestly.
He let out a smile before handing the simple-looking nu. Get a couple of dishes. I took the nu and looked at it with reservation while his two colleagues stood up and said, Brother Yu, well be heading back now.
Sure. You guys head off. Ill pay for this al.
The other guy let out an approving smile when he heard that and said, Of course, youre buying. Wu Yu did not respond.
I pretended I did not hear that and ordered two other dishes while Wu Yu got the waiter to clear the table before pouring us each a cup of water. As we waited for the food, I passed him the information which he read carefully; it seed we were the quietest custors in the restaurant.
After so ti, I asked, Since sothing so big has happened, why are you still working today? Why didnt you look for to discuss the next step?
He raised his face to look at . Didnt you say you need so ti to yourself?
Er I did say that.
He lowered his head again and continued, But if you didnt co to by tonight, Id go to find you.
Oh, I replied while suddenly feeling a sliver of warmth in my heart.
