"If I had known that someone was harming her, I would have risked my life to bring her home. Why do I care so much?"
Old Fangtou's sigh brought an end to this interrogation.
That's all he knew.
In fact, in Huang Juhua's life, Old Fangtou was not an important figure. He could only be the flower outside the wall, carefully spying on the woman and guarding the little secrets in his heart.
Based on the information about Huang Juhua's missing child provided by the village chief, Zhou Zhimo posted a message in the group of former classmates, asking everyone to help find it.
The development of the Internet has made many things more efficient.
Zhou Zhimo soon received messages from all over the country, and there were many people who wanted to help provide clues.
The personnel in the information department worked overtime to screen the information. After all, the characteristics were so obvious, and the child was already five years old when he was lost, so he could remember some things.
Li Laosan, who went out to work, was also found. When he was brought back for interrogation, he looked at Zhou Zhimo and others with wide eyes: "Police, did you arrest the wrong person?"
"I just went out to work to earn some money for the New Year, and I didn't steal or rob. Is it against the law?"
Zhou Zhimo told him: "Huang Juhua is missing. We are investigating. She may have been killed."
Li Laosan was about to stand up in panic, but was stopped again. He craned his neck to look at Zhou Zhimo and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Huang Juhua, disappeared? Was she harmed?"
He shook his head: "It's impossible. You must have made a mistake. It can't be possible."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Why do you think it's impossible?"
Li Laosan slowly calmed down: "Huang Juhua doesn't quarrel with others, and she has no money. Who would harm her?"
At the end of the sentence, he slowly lowered his head and his voice became lower and lower.
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "When was the last time you saw Huang Juhua?"
Li Laosan told them: "The day before I went out, I stood on the road opposite her house and told her that I was going to work."
"However, she didn't pay attention to me, maybe she was still angry."
"Before that, Zhao Hongsheng and I had a fight in her courtyard, which made a lot of noise."
"The village chief came, and she was laughed at."
"I want to go out and earn some money and come back to buy her some new clothes and some New Year's goods."
Li Laosan choked up: "I knew earlier, I should have gone to her home that day and told her face to face..."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "What did you do in the days before leaving?"
Li Laosan thought for a while: "It will only take about four days, I will be at home."
"At this time, there is no work left in the fields."
"I played cards with the villagers, and some of them can testify for me."
Li Laosan's interrogation here went smoothly and was very short. There was still no breakthrough in the case.
What he said was quickly confirmed.
After the fight, he went to the village health department to simply bandage his wounds. He met a few people in the village who had nothing to do, and they started playing cards together.
At that time, we also bought some beer and food in the store, and a few people played for three days.
The day before he left, he went looking for yellow chrysanthemums, and the trip only took ten minutes.
Someone said: "A few of us laughed at him at the time, but it was over so soon. Are we willing to leave?"
"Li Laosan said so loudly that he didn't see anyone."
"We all know what happened between him and Huang Juhua, and it's not a secret."
"He is quite interested, but Huang Juhua is not the only man."
"He got into a jealous fight over a woman. It ended in blood. The village chief even got into a scolding. He also felt embarrassed."
"As soon as we join together, we will play with him and have fun."
The several people who were together all said the same thing, and there was no difference.
The time when Li Laosan committed the crime has been ruled out.
After investigation, it was found that Zhao Hongsheng, who was said to be working outside, had no driving record of leaving.
At this time, there was news about Huang Juhua's child.
The little boy back then, now named Feng Chengyu, had just retired from the army and returned home.
He saw family-searching information in a group, which had exactly the same characteristics as his own.
He called again and contacted someone from the Information Department. He said that he vaguely remembered what the village looked like in his memory.
The way he described it was exactly the location of Huang Juhua's house.
Feng Chengyu's current home is not far from this county.
He couldn't wait for someone to pick him up, so he came by car as soon as possible.
When Zhou Zhimo saw him, he was a vigorous young man, tall and bright, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes.
Wearing casual clothes and carrying a gray backpack, he stood in front of Zhou Zhimo.
Zhou Zhimo hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello."
At that moment, Zhou Zhimo didn't know how to tell him that Huang Juhua might be gone.
Feng Chengyu seemed to see his hesitation, and he said, "I was a soldier and participated in many rescues."
"No matter what the result is, I can accept it."
"I want to go home and see."
Zhou Zhimo patted his shoulder gently: "You first draw blood for identification."
Feng Chengyu nodded cooperatively: "Okay."
Xiaofeng went to draw his blood for testing. While waiting, he asked, "Is there anyone else in my family?"
Faced with this question, Zhou Zhimo didn't know how to answer.
Feng Chengyu looked at his avoidant eyes and already had the answer in his heart: "It doesn't matter."
"In my vague memory, my parents love me very much."
"My mother will cook me all kinds of delicious food, and my father will put me on his shoulders and ride the big horse."
"When I grew up, my current parents also helped me find them."
"But when I was taken away by human traffickers, I went through many twists and turns, was frightened and beaten, and became ill again."
"Slowly, my memory of my family has become blurry."
"So, after all these years, nothing has been discovered."
He said slowly: "Since you are looking for someone, it must be that my parents are no longer here, right?"
Zhou Zhimo told him in a low voice: "We received a call from the masses and found a skeleton."
"Preliminary investigation shows that it is suspected to be a woman named Huang Juhua."
Zhou Zhimo looked at him and whispered: "The village chief told us that her only immediate family members are the children who disappeared that year."
"In order to determine the identity of the deceased, the child also has special characteristics, so we want to try to look for it."
Zhou Zhimo paused for a moment and told Feng Chengyu: "The village chief said that Huang Juhua's husband had an accident in the coal mine and was dead."
"She went to the mine to pick up her husband. When she came back, she found that the child who was left with her mother was missing."
"She spent all the compensation she had and searched many places, but there was no news."
Xiaofeng knocked on the door and came in: "Zhou Suo, the results are out."
