Chapter 227 – Shock At The Police Station
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the interrogation room of the police station, Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao were cooperating with the police officers and making their statements. Qiu Xingyu was sitting on a bench outside, chewing on a lollipop.
Jin Yang and Qiu Tong rushed to the police station as quickly as they could. They were stunned to see the little girl leisurely swinging her legs.
They had thought that the children had been in danger and were injured. Qiu Tong’s lips had already turned pale from anxiety, but the situation was completely different from what they had heard from their neighbor. Qiu Xingyu saw them standing at the door. She immediately jumped off the bench and threw herself into Qiu Tong’s arms.
“Mommy, why are you here?”
Qiu Tong bent over and picked her up, carefully checking for any injuries.
“What happened? Auntie Zhang saw you guys being taken away in a police car!”
When the police officer heard the commotion and saw Qiu Tong and Jin Yang, he was shocked. He hurriedly brought Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao out.
“Miss Qiu, your children are very vigilant. If it were any other children, they might be in danger.”
Qiu Tong’s heart skipped a beat. She frowned nervously at Qiu Xingyuan.
Qiu Xingqiao lifted his chin proudly. “We almost helped the police catch a bunch of baddies who specialize in child trafficking!”
Qiu Xingyuan calmly explained the situation. “The kindergarten was holding an outdoor hiking activity. When we were playing football in the nearby park, an old granny suddenly walked over in crutches. Little Yu saw that she was a little pitiful and took the initiative to run over to help.”
“That old lady said that she forgot her way home. She wanted Little Yu to send her back.”
Qiu Xingyu nodded vigorously. With the lollipop still in her mouth, she mumbled in a daze, “She looked really pitiful!”
Qiu Xingqiao shook his hands helplessly. “Initially, Eldest Brother and I wanted to seek the teacher’s help, but Little Yu had already promised the old granny. She was in a bad state too. We had no choice but to follow her instructions and accompany her home. However, Eldest Brother soon realized that something was amiss. We are very familiar with the area around the kindergarten, but she kept leading us to a remote forest…”
Little Yu widened her dark eyes and hooked Qiu Tong’s little finger. “There were no residential buildings there at all!”
“Eldest Brother guessed that she must be planning to trick us and sell us!”
“We pretended not to notice and accompanied the old granny to the alley in front of the small forest. We remember Mommy said that if we meet bad people, we must think of a way to escape. Second Brother pretended to have his shoelaces undone and kept a distance from her…”
Qiu Xingqiao spread out his hands, white powder still lingering on his fingertips.
“Fortunately, we had the powder that Eldest Brother developed. When the granny was momentarily distracted, we threw it all over her.”
“She was temporarily blinded and we took the opportunity to run here and find the police!”
Qiu Tong was shocked as she listened to the children’s narration.
Jin Yang accompanied the children to the evidence room. Qiu Tong looked at the surveillance footage. “Have you found those people?”
The police officer pointed at two magnified screenshots from the surveillance cameras. “They should be from an organization and the action was premeditated. This is the elderly woman whom the children mentioned! But after discovering that the children had run away, two vans appeared at the intersection and drove her away…”
“They were aware of the surveillance cameras and we didn’t manage to capture a clear picture of their faces, so it’s a little difficult to track them down.”
Qiu Tong asked for a copy of the video. She had a feeling that these people were not ordinary human traffickers. Perhaps they were linked to those people in the capital!
Qiu Tong brought the children home. Jin Yang shot Shao An a look from the door.
“Arrange for men to investigate the surrounding districts discreetly. We have to find those people!”
“The van they are in should have been rented locally or pieced together from a scrapyard. Qiu Xingyuan’s powder will cause temporary blindness. Go to a nearby clinic and see if there are any records of such a patient. Follow the clues and investigate!”
Shao An did not dare to delay and ordered his men to strengthen the security around the villa.
“If you see anyone suspicious, report it immediately!”
Shao An said with a cold voice. He suddenly remembered the suspicious figure that someone had reported that morning. He could not help frowning. “Could they be in cahoots?”
In the living room, Qiu Tong gathered the children together.
“You guys didn’t panic when faced with danger. You know how to work together. Mommy is happy.”
“However, Mommy told you before not to trust strangers, much less leave with them. If Little Yu can’t remember this, you will be scolded! Something similar might happen again soon. Mommy has already applied for leave from the kindergarten. You guys can rest at home for the next few days.”
“If anyone thinks of any details that you’ve missed, you must tell Mommy! Got it?”
Qiu Tong looked at Little Yu’s dejected expression and pinched her chubby cheeks. “Mommy will cook crabs for you guys tonight.”
“Okay?”
It was relatively easy to cheer up little kids. Qiu Xingyu’s face instantly lit up. On the other hand, Qiu Tong’s heart felt incomparably heavy..
