Mr. Zhao leaned in, counting on his fingers.
"We left the city bureau, and I took note that within the old city district of Dayao City, we passed a street where they sell electric scooters. There’s also a comrcial street for pipe fittings—these places all make use of tricycles.
Even at various markets, many people use these vehicles for their stalls. Frankly, it’s all about business needs, or transportation in the areas where the city and countryside et. There are quite a few applications."
Mr. Huang sighed.
"So, you’re saying the scope is still quite broad?"
Zhou Ning glanced over. He knew Mr. Huang was under a lot of pressure at the mont and felt restless and anxious, finding it hard to concentrate on any analysis.
Zhou Ning took Mr. Qu’s notebook, which had a map on it. The position where they stood was about ten kiloters away from the Renhe Industrial Park they had checked earlier.
"Actually, the scope isn’t wide. If we combine the known conditions, the potential locations and populations in Dayao City can already be delineated. The culprit, or rather the primary cri scene, is in the area where the city and the countryside converge.
I think the Renhe Industrial Park that we had previously circumscribed—which includes Qitai Village One, Two, and Three—ets many of the conditions we’re looking for. Those two households need to be investigated quickly."
Huang Youdao nodded and hurriedly took out his phone. After all, his people were already spread out, and he had no knowledge of the specifics, nor had anyone reported back to him yet.
As soon as he dialed Wu Chunming’s number and it connected, Wu Chunming’s panting voice could be heard, seemingly just after a run.
"Hello, are you leaders anxious?"
"How’s the investigation on your end? Have you found the pregnant won in both Qitai villages?"
"Don’t even ntion it. I couldn’t reach either of the two reserved contact numbers, so I went directly to village officials and inquired about the two families. I was just about to report back to you when you called.
Here’s the situation: the pregnant woman from Qitai Village Three, Guan Hengxi, isn’t at ho. Her father passed away, and her mother went to the city to take care of her. The village officials said that Guan Hengxi has already given birth, nearly two weeks early. Her son-in-law went around the village handing out so eggs. I managed to get through on the phone just now. We didn’t dare say anything else.
As for the pregnant woman from Qitai Village One, Fu Chunyu, the situation is a bit peculiar. Her partner, Yang Guochang, died in a car accident in April. They had been married for less than two years. Afterwards, Fu Chunyu was found to be pregnant. Her father-in-law, Yang Liang, believes the child isn’t his son’s and made a fuss about it.
The village officials reported that soone saw Fu Chunyu with a new boyfriend since May, accompanying her to prenatal checkups and so on. In July, Fu Chunyu, along with her new boyfriend and a lawyer, ca to Qitai Village One and got in touch with Yang Liang through the village officials, intending to have him join in a heritage notarization.
Their new house in the city was purchased after Yang Guochang’s marriage. Both contributed to the purchase, but Yang Guochang had been without steady work for a year before his death, had just found a job, then died, and Fu Chunyu has been paying the mortgage. Given current property values, that house is worth 200,000 yuan.
Fu Chunyu, still pregnant, could own 84% of the property rights to the house according to inheritance laws once the child is born. Thus, Fu Chunyu proposed to give Yang Liang so compensation, considering that the child isn’t solely hers.
She suggested not giving the money from the sale of the house to Yang Liang, turning it into 32,000 yuan—a sum ant to be the child’s milk powder money. Regarding the house in their hotown, Fu Chunyu was willing to give it up, only asking to go along with the notarization. When Yang Liang heard this, he blew up, implying he isn’t even sure whose child it is.
He’s just an old man, without his son and wife, over fifty, making a living by selling things from his greenhouse. He hadn’t received a cent of his son’s compensation and was being asked to pay, which was impossible. He demanded that Fu Chunyu vacate the house, insisting that he paid for it."
At this point, Mr. Wu paused and Huang Youdao beca anxious.
