Chapter 283

"I have seen this necklace." Zhong Kui said, took out the old phone given by Wu Shanqiu, clicked on Zhang Yingdi's short-video account, flipped forward according to the date, and then opened one of them.

This was a video filmed at the end of last year. At that time, Zhang Yingdi's account was still ignored, with only dozens of views. This was a video celebrating the birth of the child. The lens focused entirely on the newborn child throughout. Zhang Yingdi rambled about how the Sheng family had a successor and how happy she was. The lens flashed by, and in the background was Huang Ruifen, the lying-in woman lying on the bed. There was no joy on her face, only embarrassment. Having just given birth to the child, she was disheveled, haggard, and didn't like being filmed into a video and put online.

Qi Fei stared at the video and soon noticed Zhong Kui's intention in opening this video. He saw that Huang Ruifen was wearing a shiny necklace around her neck. Although the luster was different, judging from the shape of the pendant, it could be seen that it was the same necklace.

Huang Xuewen was called to the police station, looking at this mottled necklace, listening to Qi Fei describe Sheng Tianbao's violent tendencies and the fact that Huang Ruifen might have been imprisoned in a dark basement.

"We searched Sheng Tianbao's bedroom and found Huang Ruifen's phone. The person who replied to your messages during this time was Sheng Tianbao, not Huang Ruifen." Qi Fei said.

Huang Xuewen opposite him was silent, always looking wooden, as if he had lost the imagination of pain, just like his rough hands from years of labor couldn't feel the delicate temperature. Only his cowardly son, Huang Ruixiang, behind him began to whimper, but it was just whimpering, without anger or knowing what to do.

Qi Fei's tone couldn't hide his disappointment: "We saw Huang Ruifen wearing the necklace in Zhang Yingdi's video. You confirm it's this one, right?"

However, Huang Xuewen seemed to have amnesia: "When did Afen have a necklace?"

"It was a gift from her classmate." Huang Ruixiang sobbed, "When she dropped out of school, I saw Afen often holding the necklace and crying."

Zhong Kui was thoughtful when she heard this. She picked up the necklace and observed the pendant carefully. She found the right angle and squeezed it gently with her fingers. Only a "click" was heard, and the pendant was opened, with two girls' headshots stuffed inside.

"This necklace was a distress signal that Huang Ruifen asked Luo Yongmei to take." Zhong Kui said.

"Brother Fei, the other girl in the photo has been found!" Wu Shanqiu soon had good news here, "I asked Huang Ruifen's middle school. The girl in the photo with Huang Ruifen is named Ge Sisi, her classmate. The two had a very good relationship when they were in school. Moreover, Ge Sisi has been working in Nancheng since graduating from university."

"We have already contacted Ge Sisi. When she heard we were the Nancheng police, she admitted without hesitation that Huang Ruifen was with her. However..."

"However what?" Qi Fei asked hurriedly.

"Huang Ruifen said she didn't want to see her family, only us."

In an inconspicuous hotel-style apartment more than twenty kilometers away from the Nancheng police station, a woman opened the door with vigilance.

"We are police from Nancheng and have contacted you before." Qi Fei showed his credentials, "Are you Huang Ruifen's classmate Ge Sisi?"

The woman carefully confirmed the credentials before relaxing: "Yes, I am Ge Sisi. Xiaofen is waiting for you."

Ge Sisi entered the bedroom and vaguely heard soft voices for a long time before a thin girl walked out of the room tremblingly.

Although she had already given birth to a child, because she was really too young, she still looked childish.

It's just that suffering made her eyes have more sadness than her peers.

"We found the necklace you left for Luo Yongmei. There are photos of you and Ge Sisi inside. We guess you wanted to let Ge Sisi save you." Qi Fei handed the mottled old necklace to Huang Ruifen.

When the pendant fell into her palm, Huang Ruifen, who had no expression, suddenly began to wail. Ge Sisi hugged her with heartache and said to Qi Fei: "I swiped the video and saw that Sheng Tianbao is already dead?"

"Yes, no one will hit you again." Qi Fei said to Huang Ruifen.

"Both the child and the grandmother are dead..." Huang Ruifen muttered, tears streaming down her face.

Qi Fei waited patiently for Huang Ruifen's emotions to calm down slightly and asked patiently: "You asked Ge Sisi to tell us you didn't want your family to pick you up, only to see the police. I think you just want to tell us your experience, right?"

Huang Ruifen was very nervous, always grabbing Ge Sisi's hand. She brewed for a long time before opening her mouth: "They won't believe me. I told them many times that that person hit me to death. They said it was all my fault and that I must have done something wrong to provoke that person."

"That person is Sheng Tianbao?"

Huang Ruifen nodded, but she didn't want to read out this name no matter what: "That person said I was bought by their family with money. As long as he drank, he hit me, and it was more severe each time. His parents pretended not to see it every time until I gave birth to the child, and they brought the grandmother from the countryside to help take care of the baby."

"Only the grandmother saw that person hit me and would try to stop it, but it was exchanged for fists and kicks for both of us. This person... is just a beast."

"Grandmother went to complain to my parents-in-law, but they said the old lady was confused. In their eyes, that person was the only seedling of the Sheng family, a big treasure."

"That day, my parents-in-law went out. The weather was hot, and the child was uncomfortable and kept crying. No matter how we coaxed, it wouldn't stop."

"That person was drunk and sleeping on the side. He was woken up by the child's crying and suddenly sat up to lose his temper at me and the grandmother, saying we didn't know how to take care of the child."

"I couldn't take it anymore and said the child was also his. Why didn't he take care of it?"

"Just that one sentence made his temper flare up."

"He said no matter who it was, if they made him unhappy, they would have to die. As he spoke, he raised the child to throw it."

"I was so scared that I knelt down and begged him to let the child go. The child struggled violently in his hands. I can't remember what happened in between. By the time I came to my senses, the child was already lying on the ground motionless..." Speaking of this, Huang Ruifen didn't cry, just a bit distracted, as if this wasn't a real thing, "I knew he was already crazy. If I stimulated him again, both I and the grandmother would have to die that day."

"Seeing the child had no breath, he also panicked. His drunkenness woke up more than half, and he viciously blamed me for provoking him."

"I didn't know what to do, just holding the dead child, letting him grab my hair and drag me to the corner of the wall."

"There was a basement in that place, which they discovered when the ground collapsed before."

"He threw both me and the child into that basement."

"Soon he regretted it and wanted to snatch the child away. I couldn't let him succeed. Seeing a pipe there, I stuffed it in with force. That person was big, and I knew he couldn't reach my child no matter what..."
