Chapter 70 Asking for help
When they arrived at Tian Guoqiang's house, a fashionable yet somewhat aloof woman opened the door.
Upon seeing Deng Xiuzhen and her group, the other party remained silent, merely giving them a cold once-over.
"We're here to see Director Tian. Is Director Tian home?" Deng Xiuzhen asked softly, feeling a little awkward from the other party's coldness.
"He's not here. Go to his workplace if you need anything!" the woman said, closing the door.
"Who's here?" came the voice of Tian Guoqiang's mother from inside the door.
"I let the two who wanted to use connections leave directly," the woman replied.
"Oh," Tian Guoqiang's mother responded.
“Anyone who tries to get in through the back door will be kicked out. Old Xiong, you should be more careful in the future and let fewer people into the house so as not to cause trouble for the children!” said Tian Guoqiang’s father.
Upon hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen, who had been thinking of saying hello, shut her mouth and went back with Qin Yanlin.
The next morning, Tian Guoqiang came over and told Deng Xiuzhen: "There really are two human traffickers, a woman and her lover. They not only traffic other people's children, but they even sold their own biological children."
After hearing Deng Xiuzhen talk about the child abduction that day, he sent people to follow the two children.
Yesterday at West Lake Park, the two child traffickers worked together. The woman used popsicles to coax the children, giving them popsicles and then saying she would take them to play.
The man went to talk to Qi Guomin and his wife, distracting them and deliberately blocking their view.
After the woman took the child away, the man pretended to help them search for him. After the man separated from Qi Guomin and the others, the two traffickers immediately met up and ran away with the child.
In order to gather enough evidence, we waited until they were about to board the train before making the arrest.
These two are really stubborn. Even though they were caught red-handed, they still won't admit it...
Deng Xiuzhen said, "You really believe what we say?"
Tian Guoqiang smiled and said, "I trust my own judgment."
"You're a veteran police officer, your judgment is superb!" Deng Xiuzhen teased.
Tian Guoqiang, without showing any anger, hesitated for a moment and said, "There's something else I'd like to ask you for help with, which is about the case of the female corpse in the suitcase."
He initially thought of Deng Xiuzhen and made a special trip to mention it, but found that Deng Xiuzhen did not react. He then decided to investigate on his own.
The reason for not saying much is twofold: first, to avoid revealing details of the case, and second, to avoid frightening Deng Xiuzhen.
After all, if he wanted Deng Xiuzhen's help, he had to show her those terrifying images. Subconsciously, he felt that Deng Xiuzhen was just a woman from the countryside, and her courage and knowledge should be limited.
However, despite conducting extensive investigations over the past few days, including examining the origin of the box, the woman's clothing, her characteristics, and missing persons registrations, they have found nothing. The woman's identity remains unknown, let alone the case.
Yesterday, after catching the human traffickers, he suddenly realized that Deng Xiuzhen not only knew about some cases, but she also seemed to be able to accurately predict some things that were about to happen.
"You mean the person Wenjing and the others found in the box?"
"Yes, that's the person. We've been investigating for several days without any progress, so we thought we'd let you take a look and see if you could help us find a clue."
"Me? Help you?" Deng Xiuzhen pointed to herself and asked incredulously.
“You’ve heard a lot of stories, maybe some of them are related to the case and can broaden our thinking. But I’m telling you, you have to keep it a secret.”
"Okay, I'll take a look first." Deng Xiuzhen couldn't help but marvel at the development of the internet. There's everything online, which is why this experienced, top-notch police officer had to ask her, someone whose brain isn't quite up to par, for help.
Looking at the picture, Deng Xiuzhen felt nauseous; she could even smell the stench of decay.
She recalled a case she'd seen online in her past life, strikingly similar to this one: a man and a woman met online, and the man lied, claiming to be a high-ranking company executive with an annual salary of millions. The woman said she was unwell, and the man said it was alright, he'd pay for her treatment.
So the woman traveled a long distance to see him, and after their passionate encounter, the man couldn't afford to pay for her medical treatment. Only then did the woman learn that the man was actually just an ordinary worker.
The two had a heated argument, and the man accidentally killed the woman. Fearing imprisonment, he bought a suitcase, put the woman inside, and dumped her body in the wilderness.
Apart from a suitcase, a woman's clothes, a bed sheet wrapped around her, and a black plastic bag covering her head, there were no other items at the scene.
Those things are everyday items, and they're everywhere.
The police exhausted all investigative methods but could not obtain any clues and were unable to confirm the woman's identity.
Police officers examined the box repeatedly and found that it was new, but the wheels at the bottom were worn. They deduced that the suspect bought the box to dispose of the body, and that the box was likely dragged there.
So they bought the same box, loaded it with an object of equal weight to the deceased, and dragged the box according to the road conditions at the crime scene. This determined the distance between the perpetrator and the crime scene.
Based on the wear and tear on the box, it was estimated that the distance was about 1.5 kilometers. So, with the crime scene as the center, a radial search was conducted for 2 kilometers, and sure enough, an old man found out that a tenant had mysteriously run away.
Police found bloodstains matching those found at the scene in the rented apartment, along with a plastic bag identical to those used at the scene. This led to the identification of the suspect and his subsequent arrest.
Tian Guoqiang listened calmly on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil: he was absolutely certain that Deng Xiuzhen either had special abilities or came from the future, otherwise it would be impossible to explain how she knew so many things, especially those things that had never happened.
Having either one was beyond his comprehension; it was truly astonishing!
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Deng Xiuzhen looked up and found Tian Guoqiang staring at her quietly.
“You don’t look anything wrong with your face. I’m just amazed at how much you know. Thank you, thank you so much!” Tian Guoqiang said, getting up to leave. Deng Xiuzhen’s story gave him a completely new perspective, and he needed to make arrangements immediately.
Not long after Tian Guoqiang left, Qi Guomin and Fang Mei arrived with their child and carrying large and small bags.
Upon seeing Deng Xiuzhen, Fang Mei's eyes reddened, and she tightly grasped Deng Xiuzhen's hand, repeatedly saying thank you.
Fang Guomin told Deng Xiuzhen that the human trafficker had dealt with them before, saying that he would take care of them if they had business, and they became familiar with each other over time.
Little did he know that the other party was a human trafficker, not in business at all, but trying to abduct his child.
Speaking of the two human traffickers, Fang Guomin and his wife gritted their teeth, wishing they could immediately take a knife and kill them.
Fang Mei said, "Sister, if it weren't for you, our child would have been kidnapped. That would have been our life! You are our savior; you saved our whole family!"
Deng Xiuzhen felt unworthy of such praise and quickly said, "This matter has little to do with me. You should thank Director Tian; he is your great benefactor."
