I walked over with Shen Shiyan and said, "Wu Yu, about the bird, Ive already told him." Shen Shiyan gave me a silent glance.

  Wu nodded: "Good."

  I stared at the back of his head: "Does it still hurt?"

  The doctor next to him interrupted, "Its not that easy to not hurt, just applied some medicine and it hurts even more. Young man, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, do you know? Hitting your head can be serious."

  Wu Yu said: "Thank you."

  I suddenly felt a little uneasy, and Wu Yu looked at me and said in a low voice, "Really nothing." I muttered, "Only after the examination will we know." A hint of smile flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Shen Shiyan again. And my heart skipped a beat.

  "Ill finish questioning as soon as possible."

  Wu nodded.

  Shen Shiyan asked again about what happened tonight, and Wu Yu told him everything from start to finish. In the end, Shen Shiyan closed his notebook and said, "You all go to the hospital first, if theres a need later, Ill be in touch with you."

  I was just about to say okay when Wu Yu looked at me.

  This glance left me stunned.

  He directly asked: "Officer Shen, whats special about Zhu Zihans family environment or other aspects?"

  I perked up at this. Shen Shiyan, however, was stumped and thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "For the time being, I cant think of anything special. Ill keep an eye on this question." He paused and said, "Theres also a child named Zhao Ruixin, over 5 years old, pale and thin, did the suspect do something to him? Or is there something unusual about the child?"

  I was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Yu, who replied: "No. Zhao Rui Xin and the other two children have been in the corner all along. No special treatment."

  Shen Shiyans expression turned contemplative.

  Wu Yu looked at me at this time, and for a moment, I had a feeling of being on the same wavelength as him - Shen Shiyan has an important clue here, cant let it go easily.

  "I said: Shi Yan, I suggest you thoroughly investigate the lead on Zhu Zihang. There must be a reason for it, and it may have something to do with his motive for committing the crime."

  Shen Shiyans eyes shone warmly as he looked at me, nodded and said: "Alright. Youve all had a hard day today. Ill head back to the office first."

  Hes actually leaving. Just then, Wu Yu spoke up: "With such a big deal tonight, dont we need to go to the police station to make a more detailed statement?"

  Shen Shis eyes moved slightly, looking at him.

  My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Wu Yu. This was the first time I truly felt the dark aura emanating from this man. Ah, I almost forgot, he used to be an engineering student with a strong utilitarian mindset too. This feeling... is quite subtle.

  Two men did not speak. I felt the atmosphere was a bit tense, so I mediated and also followed Wu Yus meaning, making the conversation more explicit: "Yes, last time we encountered that man, you took us back to the police station, interrogated us for the whole night, and asked about every detail. Today, such a big thing happened, not only was the suspect found and all the kidnapped children were found, but even his lair was found. You just ask a few questions and let us go? This makes us feel uneasy instead."

  I stood beside Wu Yu, smiling as I said that. Looking at Shen Shiyans tense face, I suddenly had a feeling that I had become Wu Yus accomplice, ganging up to bully this honest man...

  "Is something more urgent happening, leaving you no energy to deal with us? What exactly happened?"

  My heart also slightly lifted. Shen Shiyan still remained calm and said, "You dont need to know the specific details. Ill leave first."

  I grabbed his arm and said, "Shen Shiyan, Wu Yu and I are already deeply involved in this case. We helped you prevent a crime, and this time Wu Yu even found the culprits lair for you. Moreover, both of us are victims of this case, and we were both hurt because of our children. Now that youre excluding us, do you really think its necessary? Just like I said last time, if you give us some proper leads, maybe we can come up with even more clues. We will only help your investigation, you know that clearly. What happened to that child named Zhao Rui Xin? Wont he encounter any danger? We care about him too, and we want to know!"

  Shen Shiyuan turned his head to look at us. After a few seconds of silence, he said: "Alright, I hope you can keep this confidential. This afternoon, Zhao Ruis family received a call asking them to prepare 3 million yuan and pay the ransom in two days. Thats all I can tell you. The police will handle this matter from start to finish, we have already begun to formulate a detailed action plan, and we will take advantage of this opportunity to rescue the child and catch the criminal! This matter is very dangerous, so dont interfere."

  I was taken aback and looked at Wu Yu.
