Chapter 712: The Abandoned Little Girl
Zhuo Ya didn't spend any more time alone with Duan Zechen, and followed Ouyang Xuan downstairs to the room.
After Duan Zechen stood alone in front of the study window for a while, he quickly dialed the phone number of the private detective, Jason, who was still looking for Duan Ying'er's whereabouts.
Jason is still no progress in his search for Duan Ying'er, but he already has some eyebrows about Mo Jianyu's identity confirmation.
Moreover, to Duan Zechen's surprise, Jason had returned to Nangang from other places, but it was inconvenient to meet him at present.
Jason revealed in the introduction that after his many searches and investigations, he finally got a very important piece of information from a man who was in the casino.
The man himself admitted that he had abandoned a little girl about two years old more than ten years ago.
According to his recollection, there was a very obvious birthmark on the little girl's chest.
The little girl's mother, a divorced single woman, was living with him at the time.
The relationship between the two was very good at first, but later because he made friends carelessly, he was brought into the casino and contracted a bad habit, and gradually did not do his job properly and often quarreled.
In order to take care of the little girl, the woman even gave up her job as a stable person and lived on her previous savings.
Financial problems inevitably arise between the two, and as the man becomes more and more unrepentant and addicted to the casino, the conflict between the two grows more and more intense.
The woman couldn't stand it, and she had a big fight with the man, vowing to break it off with him.
In a fit of rage, the man swept away all the woman's money and went out to visit the mountains and rivers.
Out of revenge, he quietly stole her child and dumped it somewhere in the western suburbs of Nangang City before leaving.
At that time, the western suburbs were still remote rural fields, far less prosperous and convenient than they are now, and he was bent on revenge, and he didn't care about the life or death of his children.
Based on his description of the birthmark on the child's body and the approximate time of discarding the child, Jason traveled around and gathered other important information.
After a comprehensive analysis of all the information, he quickly deduced that the little girl should have been picked up by nearby villagers first, but because the child was weak and sick, it was difficult to support her, so the family that took her in had to secretly send her to a welfare home.
After confirming the identity of the child, Jason gave the man a large amount of honorarium in exchange for information about the child's mother.
When the man saw the money, he confessed everything.
However, because the two have broken up for many years, and he has been drinking and gambling all year round, and there are all kinds of women around him, he also has a confused memory of the specific situation of that year, and he can't say it very clearly.
The only thing that is certain is that this woman is not from Nangang, and when he spent all his money and returned to Nangang, she also lost her whereabouts.
He had searched for the woman carefully, but there had been no news, and as for the little girl he had abandoned, he had not seen her since.
He had provided several locations about the woman's hometown, and Jason was currently sorting through the vague information he had provided, going one by one to find out exactly what to confirm.
After listening to his report, Duan Zechen briefly introduced the situation he was currently encountering.
Jason offered to free up his hand to assist him, but Duan Zechen did not agree, and only ordered him to continue to find Duan Ying'er's whereabouts and seize the time to investigate Mo Jianyu's situation.
After hanging up the phone, Duan Zechen lit a cigarette, then leaned back on the sofa with gloomy eyes.
