Chapter 185

Recalling the past, a gentle smile appeared on Song Hui's lips.

"Is her head wound healed?"

Song Hui nodded: "For the first five or six days, she had constant headaches and could not speak clearly. Later, she seemed to stop crying out in pain. I asked her if she wanted to go to the hospital and I would pay for her medical expenses, but she refused to go."

"Then why is there no record of Liu Tingmei in the Dahai Welfare Home's system?"

Song Hui was silent for a while, then answered, "She just had nowhere else to go and settled in our welfare home. She is so pretty and capable, it is impossible for her to stay in the welfare home forever. You don't know how hard our job is. The income is not high, and we have to take care of those children every day and do repetitive and tiring work. She is still young and should not stay there. So as soon as her injury healed, she said goodbye to me, and I did not try to keep her. Because she only stayed for a short ten days, she was not entered into the system."

"When did she leave the orphanage?"

Song Hui thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I can't remember clearly, maybe around June 6 or 11."

"Besides the fact that her family forced her to get married, has she ever told you anything else? For example, what happened to her before, and where she is going in the future?"

Song Hui shook her head: "I never said that." Her ten fingers were tightly clasped together.

Li Qingyao stared into her eyes and said nothing.

Song Hui kept smiling kindly, but after a moment, her expression became a little stiff, her smile disappeared, and she lowered her head in silence.

In theory, Song Hui and Liu Tingmei didn't know each other and had only been together for a dozen days. She could just answer whatever Li Qingyao asked. But Li Qingyao always had a feeling that Song Hui's words were not entirely true, as if he was on guard against the police.

Li Qingyao thought of the thick stack of petitions submitted by the welfare home staff on behalf of Song Hui. A person might kill someone because of a momentary impulse or because he could no longer bear it. But is she a good person or a bad person? After more than five years of living together day and night, so many people's tearful petitions can't be fake.

Song Hui is a very kind-hearted person who is willing to selflessly give for the weak. Her heart is very soft, but also very tough.

Li Qingyao had an idea and decided to ask in a different way.

"It seems that Liu Tingmei didn't tell you that her real experience before was not just running away from home."

Song Hui looked up, slightly stunned.

"She was controlled by three men and was forced to do some live broadcasts that were extremely harmful to her body. Our colleagues are still investigating and currently suspect that there is a high possibility that there is also a live broadcast of Silver Gray. You can imagine what kind of life she once led. Later, she escaped and came to your welfare home. It was her luck to meet you and Liu Fang from the neighborhood committee, which prevented her from falling into the hands of bad guys again."

Li Qingyao turned on his mobile phone and played a live video of Liu Tingmei from that year.

Song Hui watched and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"Do you know why we want to find her? Because we recently discovered when investigating another case that Liu Tingmei has not been heard from since she left your welfare home seven years ago. There is no record of her ID card being used. No one has ever seen her. There is no mobile phone, bank card, social media account, anything. Do you know what this means?"

Song Hui looked straight at her: "What does it mean...?"

"She has never lived or appeared in society again. What if she falls into the hands of criminals again? You can see that she is so fragile and beautiful. How pitiful it would be if she was always controlled by others and continued to live the kind of life she had in the past. Even, is she no longer in this world?"

"No." Song Hui shook his head. "She won't be that unlucky. She can't let one person suffer all the hardships. Oh, why?"

Seeing that Song Hui's emotions were finally getting worse, Li Qingyao immediately said, "So your help is very important to us. We want to find her and confirm whether she is still safe." Song Hui looked at her for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know where she went. But once, she said a few words to me..." She paused, "She asked me where the Public Security Bureau of the city was. She said she wanted the police to help her find someone."

Li Qingyao's heart trembled.

"I asked her if the police station would be okay, as it was closer. She said no, we must go to the big police station."

"and then?"

"I asked her who she was looking for, and she said she was looking for a great benefactor."

"Did she say what the man's name was?"

"No, and she didn't say where to look. I've told you everything I know."

The meeting room was quiet. Xia Yongze, who had been taking notes seriously, secretly raised his head, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket with his big bear-paw-like hands, took out a piece, and handed it to Li Qingyao.

Song Hui also looked at Li Qingyao and asked gently, "Comrade police officer, why are you crying?"

Li Qingyao took the tissue, wiped it quickly, smiled and said, "Maybe he was worried about Liu Tingmei. I don't know if she found that person later."

"You will find it." Song Hui said word by word, "Life is so long, we will always find the person we want to find. If this window is not open, the other one will open for you. Take your time, child, don't be sad."

Li Qingyao nodded and looked up. The two women smiled at each other.

"One last question. So from what you said, Liu Tingmei was completely conscious at that time, no different from a normal person, right?"

Song Hui was stunned and nodded.

-

Li Qingyao and Xia Yongze walked out of the prison and headed for the police car on the side of the road. At first, they walked side by side, but later Li Qingyao walked faster and faster, her steps impatient and heavy. But when she got in front of the car, she stood still and didn't get on the passenger seat. She lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Before Xia Yongze came to the district police station, he had heard that this woman was a famous iceberg beauty who had killed countless aspiring young men in the criminal police team. Seeing her so depressed at this moment, Xia Yongze had a heart as big as a little bear. He wanted to enlighten her, but was a little afraid of her. He had also heard about her brother's story, which was so pitiful.

Finally, he said dryly, "Hey, Sister Yao, we are partners. If you feel unhappy, you should tell your partner. This way, we can cooperate perfectly. How about I buy you a cup of milk tea?"

Li Qingyao held the door handle, smiled, looked up, and said with a calm expression, "Sister Liu Ting left a big mystery for us."

Xia Yongze's brain immediately short-circuited: "What, a big mystery?"

Li Qingyao sighed deeply, not knowing whether he was sighing at his partner's innocence or at Liu Tingmei.

[Chen Pu, I can't figure it out at all. Liu Tingmei had already regained her consciousness and memory by then. She also said she was going to call the police.

But later, why didn't she go? If it was really my brother who rescued her, why didn't she know his whereabouts? Is there anything more important than revenge for herself and finding my brother? Or, for some reason, she couldn't go later. 】
