Chapter 497: Rose - Report Lost (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Eleven reported lost (Part 1)

Before the taxi drove smoothly away from the side door of the backyard of the Municipal Bureau, Feng Yao took great effort to stand up from the back seat and lean forward, looking past Sister Liao who had rolled down the window to greet him politely, and glanced at Jiang Mo who had come to see him off in a somewhat inexplicable manner.

Jiang Mo just glanced at him distractedly, and for a moment she was stunned by the deep gaze from the three-year-old child. She looked back calmly, then looked at Feng Yao's innocent smile, waved her hand and watched the yellow-green painted privately modified black car hurriedly stepping on the accelerator and driving away. She was silent for two seconds and turned around, looking at Xiao Luo, a forensic doctor, who was holding a folder and wandering to the backyard, waiting to chat with her for a few words, and frowned in annoyance.

"I need to talk to the director about Feng Yao's injury. The first version of the basic report will probably be ready before the end of the shift at the earliest."

Medical examiner Xiao Luo raised the clip and waved it twice. He tilted his body slightly and looked out the gate of the rear of the car where no one had been seen for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Mo's face which was wrinkled into a ball. "I just informed Captain Gu... I see that you two, master and disciple, are so preoccupied with the lawsuit against this little Feng Yao that you didn't think of keeping him for a while?"

"He's only three and a half years old. Even if we keep him in the trial, his testimony won't be enough to be submitted to the court. Besides..."

Jiang Mo frowned and shrugged. "It's one thing to have a feeling that something is not right. Feng Yao keeps talking all day. Even if it is clear that there is a blood-stained shirt as a prerequisite, but now Tang Jia is missing, the most we can do is to file a missing person case - it's really a bit troublesome."

"Let's not talk about the diagnosis for now. Just from the injuries I examined, Feng Yao is so young, but he has so many ideas that he doesn't look like a three-and-a-half-year-old... If he hadn't grown so small, I would have suspected that Tang Jia had registered the child a few years late."

Doctor Xiao Luo curled his lips, sneered, and handed the handwritten record to Jiang Mo, tapping it with his finger: "... Look here. If we refer to Feng Yao's testimony during the interrogation, Feng Yao claimed that he was locked in a cage, but there are no obvious signs of being tied up or restrained, even the palm position - except for the scrapes from the car accident, there are no other wounds similar to scratching and struggling. This situation is not reasonable for such a young child."

"If what Feng Yao said about Tang Jia's situation is true, it means that Feng Yao did not struggle or engage in any self-destructive behavior during the period when Tang Jia was tortured to death..." Jiang Mo shook his head slowly, hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed and muttered: "And I always feel that his attitude towards Tang Jia finding a lover outside after being abused by Feng Dong at home is a little bit wrong."

Hearing this, Xiao Luo, a forensic doctor, raised his eyes and lightly hit Jiang Mo's left shoulder with his fist. "I just said that I always feel something is wrong - Feng Yao has been beaten since he came out of his mother's womb... maybe even when he was in Tang Jia's belly. It's understandable that he is afraid of men, but he only avoids handsome men in their thirties and forties. I don't think he has much reaction to other age groups. But you say he is not afraid of women. If I extend my hand to check, he doesn't hide, but the expression on his face is so disgusting... He can't hide his disgust no matter how hard he tries. This is not the behavior of a little boy who is close to his mother."

Xiao Luo, the forensic doctor, took a deep breath and didn't say too much. He looked up and saw Zhu Silai standing in front of the office window on the second floor of the backyard, waving at her and urging her to "return to her position" and leave work early. He raised his head and saluted, patted Jiang Mo's arm, and turned away. Jiang Mo nodded in agreement, turned around and waved in the direction that Xiao Luo was looking at, then slowly stepped back to the small meeting room from the stairwell, pushed open the door panel, and bumped into Gu Xing, who was looking at the mirror at the door and talking in the middle of his words, causing him to stumble.

"...Ask Feng Yao's guardian when he plans to come over..." Gu Xing just shook off the collar of his new clothes and showed off twice. He hadn't finished instructing Xiao Letian when he was knocked sideways by the sound of Jiang Mo pushing the door. He smacked his tongue and squinted at her: "...I don't know who you took all this arrogance from..." "A toad has no hair but its roots, so who else can it take from? It's up to you." Jiang Mo moved sideways to avoid the punishment that Gu Xing swung at him. Then he looked at Gu Xing and raised his finger to shush him, lowering his voice a little: "Did Old Zhu buy it for you again?"

"You can do whatever I want, you—" Gu Xing sneered at her, turned around and straightened his collar towards Jiang Mo, "Come and pick it out. He said the two sets of clothes I bought a few days ago looked like an old man, so he confiscated the money I paid for the return and picked this one for me."

Xiao Letian, who was almost exhausted from making a phone call, finally put his phone in his pocket and turned around. He approached Jiang Mo with a grim face, looked at his master from top to bottom, and just as he opened his mouth to say "Master, you need to wash your hair and face", he was kicked in the calf.

Xiao Letian half-hidden, grinned and said "Hehe", then became serious again: "Oh yeah, the phone——"

"The Second Detention Center said that Feng Dong's case was quite serious when he went in. If we are just going to investigate it as missing for the time being, it would be better to go to the detention center for interrogation. That big brother is quite a troublemaker, with a criminal record of fighting and assaulting, and he has just been in solitary confinement for two days."

Xiao Letian pouted bitterly: "Tang Jia's parents do have time, but... on the phone... they don't seem to be willing to come over. They said they are old and in poor health, so we can only wait for my brother to take leave to come and see us. I guess we have to take another day off on the weekend."

"It's fine that this daughter didn't listen to advice and married Sheng An who didn't care about her... but she doesn't even mention that she cares about her grandson." Gu Xing hissed and tilted his head in a speechless manner: "Why are all the old and young in this family so weird?"

"Of course I won't tell you." Xiao Letian raised his hand and tapped on the computer that was sorting out the interrogation video. "Besides, how old is this kid? Isn't his explanation a bit too fluent? When I was three and a half years old, I didn't even know how to play with mud. He is considered a child prodigy."

"It's hard to say whether he is a prodigy or not, but it's more likely that someone taught him how to handle police questioning."

Gu Xing snorted, turned around and hung his untagged jacket on the back of the chair, raised his chin and nodded at Jiang Mo, who had peeled a banana and swallowed it in three bites in the middle of the conference table: "What do you think, Sister Liao? Do you know the name of Tang Jia's lover named Hong?"

Jiang Mo picked up the banana peel and swung it twice before throwing it into the trash can, shaking his head vaguely. "The grandpas and grandmas in the community chat about their daily lives and at most they know that the man's surname is Hong. If they really see him, they might be able to recognize him, but it might be a bit difficult for her to take the initiative to provide any clues... But Sister Liao did mention that the man surnamed Hong seemed to have opened a pharmacy. I don't remember when it was, but I heard about it when I passed by. After Tang Jia was beaten, the man came to deliver medicine. Tang Jia insisted on paying, and the man surnamed Hong didn't stop her, so he said - let her pay according to the purchase price."
