"But all of this is predicated on the fact that Tian Jie has indeed 'committed a crime,'" Mr. Chen said with profound meaning.
This implied that if they couldn't find the person, the case could only be defined as a missing person's case, and then Song Yingjie and Xia Mei would be without suspicion.
In the end, they could only be released without charges.
Conversely, if they found Tian Jie and confirmed her criminal suspicion of abducting Wang Xiaofang to be true, Song Yingjie and Xia Mei would also be punished.
Xia Chuyi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Mr. Chen's meaning.
"I will find her," she declared.
After leaving the Police Station, under the guidance of the police, they went straight to Niujing Village.
Pretending to be someone looking for work, Xia Chuyi traded a pack of cigarettes for an address and a phone number from Tian Jie's father.
