Chapter 68: Disappearance (Part 2)

“Officer, what about that little girl? Can you tell me where she went?” Finn Lewis seemed to recall something. The old man was dead, but now there wasn’t anyone looking after the little girl, and so he hurriedly asked.

“We’re currently investigating the child’s case. According to what we’ve been told, the little girl would get up at around 7 in the morning to buy a bag of milk for her grandmother. She would get up at 6 to open her shop, which she did today as well. From her shop, one can clearly see the little girl’s home, but today, since the morning she hasn’t made an appearance, so, we’re sure she left her home last night.” the police officer immediately replied.

Last night? Lewis frowned, then raised his head to look at the policeman and asked, “Officer, where could a little girl possibly go late at night? Have you asked the nearby hospitals? Could it be that she went to find a doctor for her grandmother?”

“That’s unlikely, though she’s not very young, she’s only 6 years old today.

Besides, if she was really looking for a doctor, she should have come to me.” The middle-aged woman in the small shop spoke, “Last time, she came to me in the middle of the night because her grandmother had a stomach ache. She borrowed my phone to call the hospital and has done so a few times since. I told her if her grandmother ever falls ill, she should come over and use my phone to call the hospital.”

“Officer, could it be that she was abducted by traffickers?” A voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Everyone’s gaze immediately followed the voice. Lewis looked over too, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, “Comrade, what do you mean by that?” the officer inquired, looking serious.

“This is it, about a week ago, I bumped into the little girl on my way home. There were two young men in their thirties following her, and they didn’t seem to be good people. But at that time, her grandmother was with her. After a bit of a tangle, the two men left. I later asked Auntie King about it, who told me those men had suggested they could have the little girl beg for alms in the bustling areas of the city, where she could make lots of money every day. However, Auntie King didn’t agree and warned me that those were bad people, and that we needed to keep an eye on the little girl.”

“Oh, I didn’t think much of it at that time, who knew, who knew Auntie King’s health was already in this state.” The middle-aged man spoke regretfully.

“Brother, is what you said true?” After he finished speaking, Lewis’s face instantly turned ugly. He asked loudly.

“It’s true, I wouldn’t dare lie.” The middle-aged man quickly replied.

At this moment, the woman from the small shop immediately said, “Oh, now that you’ve said so, it seems I remember too. Indeed, there were two men appearing in this area several times. But, with people coming and going, I didn’t think much about it. Officer, you must find the little girl. If she falls into their hands, who knows what will happen!”

The expressions on the police officers’ faces changed to grave seriousness, and the onlookers around them echoed the concern. The police gave a bitter smile and then replied, “Everyone please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to find the girl.”

“But how do we find her? If she falls into their hands, this child…” A young officer murmured, when an older officer next to him, his face instantly changed, pulled his arm immediately shutting him up.

Finn was instantly furious. These officers definitely knew something, otherwise, the young officer would not have reacted in such a way. Finn then walked up to the middle-aged officer in charge, lowered his voice to say, “Officer, do you know who it might be?”

“How could we possibly know, but we will do our best to find her. Prepare to withdraw!” The middle-aged officer glanced at Finn, then shook his head.

Finn gritted his teeth, blocking the middle-aged officer, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Nothing, I’m just asking, officer, can you mobilize all city police to help find her? If such a little girl is stolen by traffickers, you would know what the consequences would be! Consider it as me asking on behalf of the recently deceased old man,” Lewis said loudly.

“It’s not that we don’t want to search, but she has not been missing for 24 hours yet. Moreover, she’s a little girl who frequently goes out on her own. Who knows if she just ran off? We can’t formally set up a case now, how can we possibly mobilize all the city’s police force.” The middle-aged officer responded bitterly and helplessly, “Besides, young man, this incident has nothing to do with you, right?”

“Who said there’s no relation, she picked up the money I lost, so she’s my benefactor, right? How could there be no relation? If we wait 24 hours, it will be too late,” Lewis retorted.

“I’m powerless here. If she doesn’t return after 24 hours, we can file the case,” the middle-aged officer replied, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

For heck’s sake! Finn was instantly furious. Waiting for 24 hours was nonsense! If they started searching now, they might be able to find her. He glanced at the hundreds of onlookers and gritted his teeth. If you guys won’t help search, then we’ll have to do it ourselves. With that thought, Finn immediately said loudly, “Ladies and Gentlemen, uncles and aunts, I believe all of you live around here, and also know Auntie King and the little girl. Now that Auntie King is dead, and the little girl is missing, shouldn’t we try to find the girl?”

“Yes!” “The young man is right!” Echoes came from the crowd.

The officer’s face instantly turned grim. If he let this escalate into a mass event, he would be in trouble. The officer swiftly came over and asked Finn, “What are you doing!”

“Nothing, since you can’t set up the case, you can’t stop me from looking for her myself, right? Everyone here has been great. My name is Finn Lewis. I’m now offering a personal reward for helping find the little girl. I’m putting up a reward of two million yuan! Whoever has information about Auntie King’s girl, and can bring her back, I’ll give them two million. With so many witnesses here and the police present, I’ll definitely keep my word!” Lewis shouted.

Finn’s words left everyone around stunned. They had heard of rewards, like when the police station puts out a reward for capturing fugitives, but even the police rewards were only around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan at most. But Finn just increased the amount of money by a full 10 times!

What does two million yuan mean to these locals? It means they might not be able to earn so much money in more than a decade. The policemen were stunned too. From the moment Finn tried to give this family 50,000 yuan, they knew he might be a wealthy person. But they hadn’t expected Finn to be this generous.. For a stranger he barely knew, he is willing to offer two million yuan!
