Chapter 210 The Lying Child
Chapter 210 The Lying Child
Song Qiao saw that Zhao Xiaoya didn't say anything, but she knew better than anyone what Lu Mingxuan was doing outside.
After a moment, Lu Mingxuan returned, holding a dashcam: "Officer Liu, this is my dashcam. It shows the whole process of Song Qiao and me taking Jiang Xiaoran to the hospital. From it, you can see whether we sold her to human traffickers or sent her to an orphanage."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoran ran over and snatched Lu Mingxuan's phone.
When Lu Mingxuan realized what she was trying to do, he held the dashcam high in the air, and Jiang Xiaoran failed because of the height difference.
Officer Liu looked at Jiang Xiaoran with surprise, then, as if realizing something, took the dashcam from Lu Mingxuan and turned it on.
The scene above appeared clearly in front of him, along with Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan's conversation.
Song Qiao also explained to Jiang Xiaoran, "Ranran, since your mother doesn't have time to take care of you, I think you should go to the orphanage for a while. The food there is suitable for your recovery. You can no longer drink carbonated drinks and eat snacks at home. The doctor just said that you are not even six years old and you already have high blood pressure."
After watching the dashcam video, Officer Liu looked down at Jiang Xiaoran and said, "You're not even six years old yet, and you've already learned to lie? You don't know, do you? Today, your adoptive mother had important business to attend to, but because you came to the hospital to take care of you first, she postponed her own business. Is what you did right?"
Upon hearing Officer Liu's words, Zhao Xiaoya angrily retorted, "How can you talk about my daughter like that? Maybe this was a setup by Song Qiao and this man in the car, intended to sell my daughter so you wouldn't be able to find any evidence."
Zhao Xiaoya meant that Song Qiao was a repeat offender.
When Officer Liu heard Zhao Xiaoya's words, he got angry and said, "What do you think we police are? Your daughter is like this, and you still don't take it seriously. She's not even six years old and she's already learned to lie. Don't you think that if Song Qiao wanted to sell her, when we called her, she would make up an excuse not to come?"
Officer Liu's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Zhao Xiaoya remained silent.
After reprimanding Zhao Xiaoya, Officer Liu looked at Jiang Xiaoran and asked, "Tell your uncle, why did you lie?"
Jiang Xiaoran could throw a tantrum elsewhere, but she didn't dare at the police station. She opened her eyes, which were barely open, and looked at Zhao Xiaoya. She lowered her head and told the truth: "I want to go back to Song Qiao. I don't want to stay with my mother anymore, but they have Tong Yao now and don't want me anymore. I was very angry, so I lied."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaoran looked at Song Qiao with a pitiful expression and asked, "Mom, now that you have Tong Yao, do you not want Ranran anymore?"
In an instant, Jiang Xiaoran's appearance moved even the police.
If it weren't for everything she experienced in her past life, Song Qiao would have really been fooled by Jiang Xiaoran's pitiful appearance, and might even have forgiven her. But this time, she just refreshed her understanding of her, and she could no longer be so saintly.
"Ranran, I am only your adoptive mother. Zhao Xiaoya is your real mother. Go back to her."
Song Qiao knew that if she agreed to Jiang Xiaoran's request, she would be bringing a time bomb home that could explode at any moment. She and Tong Yao might die before they reached the same age as in her previous life.
"Officer Liu, now that things have been explained clearly and we've brought Jiang Xiaoran along, shouldn't we be leaving?"
Tao Meiling is still waiting at Huaxia Hospital. Song Qiao will pick her up from the hospital, which she has already told Officer Liu.
"Things are alright for now, you can go!"
Seeing Song Qiao about to leave, Zhao Xiaoya became anxious: "Officer, even if she didn't sell my daughter this time, I have witnesses who proved that Song Qiao abducted Jiang Xiaoran last time."
Hearing Zhao Xiaoya's words, Song Qiao remained calm: "Zhao Xiaoya, Jiang Xiaoran was secretly taken away from the correctional facility by you and Jiang Ming. I want to see what kind of witness you can find to prove that I sold Jiang Xiaoran?"
"The witness will be here soon, Song Qiao, just wait."
Upon hearing Zhao Xiaoya's words, Officer Liu looked at her with a questioning gaze: "Have you met with Wang Biao?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya quickly waved her hand: "No, I've never seen him."
A sharp glint appeared in Da Liu's eyes: "Zhao Xiaoya, tell the truth, did you see Wang Biao or not?"
In her confusion, Zhao Xiaoya hurriedly explained, "I have seen him, but it was when I was looking for my daughter and chased him to Cheng County. I saw him once, but I haven't seen him since."
Zhao Xiaoya's answer was barely passable. Da Liu stared at her for a full two minutes before shifting his gaze to Jiang Xiaoran: "Little girl, Uncle has a question for you. You can't lie anymore. Tell Uncle, did your mother pick you up from the correctional facility or from somewhere else?"
"I……"
"Ranran, you have to tell the truth. Don't be afraid of anything with your mother here."
Before Jiang Xiaoran could answer, Zhao Xiaoya interrupted her.
Hearing Zhao Xiaoya's words, Jiang Xiaoran remembered what Jiang Ming and Zhao Xiaoya had taught her in Wenzhen. She looked up at Da Liu and said, "Uncle Policeman, someone put me in a car and gagged me so I wouldn't have to speak. They said they were taking me to see Song Qiao's mother."
Officer Liu had witnessed the scene clearly. He looked at Jiang Xiaoran for a moment, then nodded: "I understand!"
Xing Rui sat to one side and whispered a few words in Da Liu's ear. The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Ms. Song, you can leave with your child now. Your phone is available 24/7. You cannot leave Jiangcheng until the case is closed."
After hearing Officer Liu's words, Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan nodded and left Liu's office with Tong Yao in their hands.
Seeing Song Qiao leave, Zhao Xiaoya knew that the police did not believe her and Jiang Xiaoran's words at all. She got up to leave, but Officer Xing stopped her: "You can't leave. You have to stay here and cooperate with us in investigating Jiang Ming's kidnapping of Tao Meiling."
Upon hearing the police officer's words, Zhao Xiaoya panicked immediately. However, remembering that Jiang Ming was hiding in a well-hidden place, she quickly said, "Officer, I really don't know where Jiang Ming went. I haven't been in contact with him for several months."
“We found an account in your transfer records. We verified that you transferred 10 million yuan from the sale of the house to an account named Zhang Dalan. Zhang Dalan is Jiang Ming’s mother. Later, this money was withdrawn. Was it given to Jiang Ming? You need to tell us the facts.”
Zhao Xiaoya was surprised that the police checked her bank statements. After thinking for a moment, she said, "My ten million was transferred to Zhang Dalan. Later, I withdrew it and gave it to the investors, but I didn't expect that person to be a swindler who ran away with my money. It has nothing to do with Jiang Ming."
Officer Liu, seeing that Zhao Xiaoya was stubborn and wouldn't confess, nodded: "Zhao Xiaoya, we're giving you a chance. You need to seize it. If we find Jiang Ming and prove that you're involved, you'll go to jail too."
