Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 828 - 148: End of Volume

On the other end of the phone came a heavy breathing sound, as if lamenting that the phone line wasn't a belt.

"She said I look a lot like an older brother of hers, she's from Zhangjiajie, didn't you go there recently and bring some specialties back for your mom?"

"Ah?"

"Did you buy a lot of cherries from her?"

"I remember now, yes. But I don't know her name."

"She remembers you very clearly, even told me about it."

Chen Xiajuan and her brother sold cherries together at the train station, where the competition was intense, and they often had to sell for a long time. One day, a big brother generously bought all their cherries at once with a lot of money, allowing them to go home early to play.

In Chen Xiajuan's eyes, Tan Wenbin was simply glowing at that time.

Although her brother said they were just doing business, not begging, and returned the extra money and change, it didn't affect Tan Wenbin's image in the little girl's heart at all.

"She was abducted."

"Ah?" Tan Wenbin immediately showed a serious expression.

Next, as Tan Yunlong recounted, the whole incident unfolded.

Chen Xiajuan and Chen Xiaolei's family was in average condition, their father died early from illness, and they depended on their mother working to support the family. The siblings relied on selling cherries at the train station to supplement the household income.

They had a room for rent in their home to a woman who didn't work, rarely went out, but had good food and drink, and often gave the siblings some snacks.

Initially seeing that it was a female tenant, the siblings' mother agreed to rent a room to her, although being a countryside house, it didn't rent for much.

However, that day when brother Chen Xiaolei returned after picking cherries, he didn't see his sister Chen Xiajuan, who was supposed to be at home, and the woman tenant was also missing, as were her belongings.

He knew something bad had happened, immediately informed his mother, and went straight to the police.

The female tenant left without a word, and abducted the family's child.

Cases like this are hard for the police to solve because there's simply no direction.

Meanwhile, to prepare for the peak travel season, Tan Yunlong was conducting joint drills with several systems, leading a team on a train for inspections.

Walking past a seat, a little girl sitting happily drinking soda in her "mom's" arms suddenly looked up at him and said:

"Huh, big brother, why did you get older?"

This simple sentence made Tan Yunlong give the girl a second look, and he also glanced at the mother holding her.

The girl's mother had her head down, hiding her face on the girl's shoulder, a perfectly normal gesture.

But given that the girl was talking to him and the mother wasn't asleep, it was odd she didn't look up at him.

Sometimes, an experienced detective's sixth sense is just this sensitive.

"Little sister, have you seen me before?"

After some chatting, the girl's mother finally looked up, smiled, and signaled the girl not to disturb the uncle's work.

Tan Yunlong immediately recognized her; she was the wanted criminal Tian Meihong!

The one who once organized a robbery gang against taxi drivers in Jinling and who had been on the run ever since, with a murder charge on her back! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Actually, the photo on the wanted poster was not only blurry but also from many years ago; Tian Meihong had disguised herself, and she looked quite different from before.

Under normal circumstances, she could just use a fake ID. The wanted poster would be ineffective for her, given how much time had passed.

But the problem was his own son had recently shown this wanted poster to him, so he was very familiar with the facial features of this face.

Moreover, Tan Yunlong always had a premonition that once his son started to inexplicably pay attention to that wanted poster, he might soon catch her.

In short, due to a series of coincidences, Tian Meihong was thus apprehended.

In all her years on the run, she thought the storm had passed, and most importantly, she ran out of money and wanted to "re-enter the world," choosing the old place, Jinling, where she created her "glory."

As for abducting Chen Xiajuan, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing intended to sell the child for money to fund a new gang.

Tan Wenbin: "This is good news, dad."

Hearing that the girl was rescued, Tan Wenbin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Yunlong: "I just feel it's a bit coincidental."

Tan Wenbin: "That's your sharp eye."

Tan Yunlong: "Heh."

Tan Wenbin: "Ha."

"Her brother left to find her, and he happened to get on a train to Jinling too. He's already at the station's police office, and their mother fainted in worry at home. Fortunately, she's woken up now, and they've notified their mom."

"That's great, everything's resolved."

"Are the cherries from Zhangjiajie delicious?"

"Pretty good."

"Yet I haven't seen you bring any home."

"I bought quite a lot intending to bring them back, but Ah You ate them all."

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm already on my way, stopped specifically to return your call."

"Drive safely."

"Yes, sir!"

...

Li Zhiyuan was completely awake, not through Walking Yin this time, and his vision had returned to normal, though his mind still felt a bit muddled.

The first person he saw upon opening his eyes was Alii.

Alii stood up, walked out of the room, and soon returned with a bowl of very thick medicinal soup.

Li Zhiyuan didn't let the girl feed him and picked up the spoon to obediently start drinking the medicine himself.

The bowl looked a lot like spicy soup.

Except the ingredients in it were much more precious than in spicy soup.

After just a few mouthfuls, he felt a warm sensation inside, this was indeed a tonic.
