After getting Gu Baisheng asleep, Song Shuang left the bedroom.

His phone buzzed and rang in the living room.

It was Hu Hui calling him.

She sounded tired and worried, "Is she awake?"

"She woke up just now, but she went back to sleep again."

Hu Hui sighed, "How can she meet with such a mishap for no reason?"

Song Shuang looked at the news on TV indifferently.

A piece of news saying that Gu Baisheng was almost abducted yesterday was on the screen.

But her face didn't appear. The news just showed the criminals' photos.

The news also warned that people should be more vigilant to avoid being abducted by traffickers.

The police in Beicheng attached great importance to this case. They were working hard to trace the criminals' accomplices and rescue other victims.

"I failed to protect her." Song Shuang said.

He blamed himself.

Hu Hui sighed, "You can't stay with her all the time. It's more important to make her stay alert. She trusts others too easily."

"She isn't aware that there are many bad guys in the world."

"You should warn her."

"I will."

Hu Hui hung up after asking him something about the criminals.

Then Song Shuang called Zhang Kai for something about the case.

Zhang Kai was distressed and said, "According to the public, there is an illegal industry chain. But in fact, the old couple is different from other traffickers."

"Why are they different?"

Song Shuang asked.

Zhang Kai looked around to make sure that nobody heard him and then said in a low voice, "They are recidivists, but we tracked down a trafficker who worked with them. According to him, they have stopped committing crimes 3 years ago."

"So why did they do it again?"

Song Shuang asked Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai moved his mouth and said, "I don't know. They refuse to say anything."

"Can I meet them?"

Song Shuang wanted to have a look at them.

Zhang Kai agreed immediately, "No problem."

The old couple had not confessed all their crimes yet.

As the victim's family, Song Shuang had a right to meet and talk with the criminals.

Moreover, Zhang Kai was in charge of this case.

Song Shuang looked at the time and thought that he could go there now, so he said, "I'll be there soon."

Zhang Kai nodded, "I'll be waiting for you at the police station."

Song Shuang thought that Gu Baisheng wouldn't wake up in a while and then drove to the police station.

Zhang Kai was waiting in the hall. He guided Song Shuang to move forward as soon as he saw him.

When they arrived at the detention room, Zhang Kai said, "You should meet the old woman first. The old man is extremely stubborn."

"Then I'll meet him after I come out."

Song Shuang walked into the room after Zhang Kai opened the door.

The old woman was sitting on the bed in the detention room.

In order to interrogate the criminal more conveniently, the detention room was separated by railings.

There were railings in the room.

The criminal was in the space with a bed and other people would stay outside.

Zhang Kai didn't enter the room.

Song Shuang moved the chair and sat opposite the old woman.

The old woman raised her eyes to look at Song Shuang and then looked down again.

"Do you know who I am?"

Song Shuang asked her.

Her hair was grey and she was thin.

She looked like an old monkey when she sat on the bed.

She just ignored Song Shuang.

Song Shuang looked at her coldly, "If you know who I am, you should know that you may die here."

Hearing that, she immediately looked fierce. She raised her head and said angrily, "You're the son of the richest Song Family. So what? There is a law. Do you want to control everything and kill me at the police station of Beicheng?"

When listening to her arguing like a shrew, Song Shuang frowned slightly, "You have abducted 56 women and 17 children younger than 12 years old over the past decade. Two children and three women were killed before they could be sold because they disobeyed you. Don't you think the law will punish you first as you've killed 5 people?"

The old woman's shoulder trembled.

But she still argued, "I didn't do it. Watch your tongue."

"Your husband has confessed everything." Song Shuang said.

"You're lying." she was fully alert since she had killed people. She didn't quite believe what Song Shuang said.

Song Shuang raised his eyes and said coldly with his hands in his lap, "Three women were buried in a mountain on the way to Yi County, Gui Town. One of the two children was buried beside the Benshiqiao River and the other was thrown into a reservoir in Xu County."

The old woman's eyes widened as she heard Song Shuang's words.

She said, "No way! He wouldn't confess!"

They had been traffickers for over ten years.

They had killed 5 people.

But only they knew where the 5 people were buried.

Nobody else knew it.

Why would Song Shuang know?

The old woman thought, "Did my husband really confess?"

She looked at Song Shuang with surprise and suspicion.

Song Shuang slightly leaned forward and looked into her eyes, "Perhaps it would take longer to investigate the five murder cases if you didn't commit a crime again. But you did. You're killing yourselves."

The old woman's lips quivered.

Song Shuang sighed, "I don't think you're so stupid and would commit a crime again. Just tell me who asked you to abduct my wife."

Her lips suddenly stopped quivering.

She clutched at the hem of her dirty clothes.

She was obviously at a loss as her weakness was found.

Seeing that, Song Shuang squinted, "You should be happy that I came here first. If the person who asked you to do so came before me, you would probably die before you could be sent to prison."

The old woman's eyes widened as she heard it, "What do you mean?"

Song Shuang smirked, "I can't control everything in Beicheng, but someone can."

"I'm at the police station. How dare they can..."

"They dare not indeed. But you have heart disease and need a doctor, right?"

Song Shuang asked.

She opened her mouth.

Song Shuang looked at her and knew that his guessing was correct.

...

Zhang Kai waited outside the detention room.

He didn't know what was going on in the room.

But he was sure that Song Shuang would get some information when he came out.

As expected, Song Shuang came out of the detention room 15 minutes later and wiped his hands on a white towel.

Then, he threw the towel into a rubbish bin.

"Why are you obsessive about cleanliness again?" Zhang Kai asked.

"The old woman grasped me. It smells. I can't stand with it." Song Shuang said briefly.

Zhang Kai shook his head, "Both of them are stubborn."

"She has confessed," Song Shuang said.

"What?"

Zhang Kai couldn't believe what he heard.

But Song Shuang said clearly, "She has confessed."

Zhang Kai looked at Song Shuang with surprise, "Do you know who asked them to do so?"

"I can guess who did it," he said.

Song Shuang raised his eyes to look ahead coldly. He said, "I'll give you a hint. Please interrogate them again."

"What is the hint?"

Zhang Kai asked.

Song Shuang said, "The northeast."

Zhang Kai couldn't quite understand. He frowned and thought about it, "The northeast?"

He wanted to ask Song Shuang for more hints.

However, Song Shuang looked at the time on his phone and said, "My wife is still sleeping at home. She'll be afraid if she can't see me when she wakes up."

Zhang Kai knew that Gu Baisheng was frightened by this terrible abduction.

So, he didn't ask Song Shuang to stay with him and help him with the case. Instead, he accompanied Song Shuang to the door."

Song Shuang left the police station by car.

Zhang Kai thought about his words and looked at the northeast part of this city thoughtfully.

There were many tall buildings in a first-tier city like Beicheng.

The skyscrapers were taller and taller, towering into the sky.

Zhang Kai saw nothing in the northeast.

He could only see row upon row of buildings in winter.

"What does he mean by the northeast?"

Zhang Kai rubbed his chin and couldn't understand it.

Song Shuang was driving home at that time.

When he arrived home, Gu Baisheng was still asleep.

Song Shuang took a look at the bedroom and then rolled up his sleeves to find some food in the fridge.

Gu Baisheng woke up at ten in the evening.

It was dark outside the window.

A small light was burning in the room.

The room looked warm.

Song Shuang wasn't in the room. She got out of bed and walked out the door.

Then, she heard Song Shuang calling someone on the couch, "Yes. Please find it out for me."

He continued, "As soon as possible."

Gu Baisheng didn't know what he was talking about.

After he hung up the phone, she asked, "Why didn't you go to sleep?"

Song Shuang heard her voice and turned around, "You've woken up."

Gu Baisheng nodded.

"Come here."

Song Shuang reached out his hand.

Gu Baisheng walked towards him on the soft carpet in the living room.

Song Shuang grasped her hand and held her in his arms when she approached.

Gu Baisheng sat on his lap and was embraced by him.

Then, she recalled that she was carried by someone when she was in a coma.

Song Shuang put his arm around her waist and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes."

She touched her stomach and felt that it was empty.

"I've prepared your favorite food."

Song Shuang pulled the tray on the table.

There were a bowl of congee and two dishes.

One was braised chicken with chestnut and the other was stir-fried bamboo shoots.

When Gu Baisheng saw the two dishes, her memories became jumbled again.
