Because there was no evidence, and the injuries on Xiao Zhenran's body were inexplicably healed, they had no way to continue the investigation, so they could only close the case quickly.

This concludes the first report.

The little policeman who was in charge of investigating the case lowered his head with some guilt.

If they hadn't easily believed the inspection report that Zhang Xianyi took out, would things have been diametrically opposite to what they are now?

The details of the surrender case had already been heard by them when they interviewed Teacher Qin from the kindergarten.

So they didn't plan to waste time on the first report this time, but to keep looking.

The second report was a month after the first report, and the informant's name was written with two names they had not seen.

It's right to leave this matter to Gao Hai, Gao Hai is in charge of the investigation of this case, and he knows very well who these two people are.

"The boy is Zhang Xianyi's good friend, the girl is Zhang Peining's good friend, and the boy and the girl know each other."

The reason these two people reported the crime was because they had seen the child locked in the car many times, and suspected that Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining were suspected of abusing the child.

When Gao Hai investigated, Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining denied it in unison.

"We wouldn't make such a careless mistake, the person who reported the crime should have read it wrong, right?" As soon as Zhang Peining finished speaking, Zhang Xianyi added a sentence and looked at Gao Hai with curiosity, "Comrade policeman, do you know who the person who reported the case is?" We would like to clarify with him. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Peining also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, comrade policeman, we have to make it clear to the other party, but don't let them talk nonsense in the future, how much it will damage our reputation?"

This time, Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining were not so lucky, they met not a small police officer, but Gao Hai, who has rich experience and understands human feelings.

Gao Hai saw Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining's intentions at a glance, and knew that they wanted to extract the information of the informant from their mouths, so they simply kept their mouths shut and did not reveal a word to them.

There was no evidence, no dash cam, just two witnesses. The evidence was insufficient, and the police gave up again and left from the homes of Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining.

And the next last report was on April 17, 2023.

This time they reported the case, and they had already heard from Teacher Qin in the kindergarten.

Zhen Ran, who has not been to kindergarten for more than two months for no reason, came to the kindergarten on this day.

Teacher Qin and the other teachers were very concerned about Zhen Ran, and when they heard that Zhen Ran was coming to school, they waited at the gate of the kindergarten early.

They didn't wait for Zhang Peining or Zhang Xianyi to send Zhen Ran to school.

Zhen Ran walked slowly by herself, and it was very difficult to walk.

Teacher Qin saw that Zhen Ran was about to fall, so he hurriedly ran over and hugged little Zhen Ran into his arms.

The moment he hugged the child, Teacher Qin's heart was sour.

There is no meat left on this child.

The thin Zhen Ran frightened all the teachers, and the teachers were not relieved, so they took Zhen Ran directly to the children's hospital for examination.

After diagnosis, the doctor determined that Xiao Zhenran was severely malnourished, and could not even support his body to walk independently, with a large area of bruises on his thighs and torso, and deep and shallow marks on his face and arms.

The doctor and the teachers were very angry, the doctor didn't say a word and directly picked up the mobile phone and called the police, but he didn't know who the child's parents were, fortunately, the teachers were next to him, after the phone was connected, the doctor first explained the child's situation, and some teachers reported Zhang Xianyi and Zhang Peining, suspecting that they were abusing the child.

This time, the case was accepted again, and Gao Hai and other police officers co-organized.

They immediately summoned Zhen Ran's adoptive father Zhang Xianyi and Zhen Ran's adoptive mother Zhang Peining, but they got the reply that Zhang Peining had just undergone breast augmentation surgery, so there was no way to be investigated.

In the end, Zhang Xianyi was the only one who came to the police station.

Gao Hai didn't expect that he would handle the same person's case twice.

"Why did the child lose weight like that, and where did the bruises and pinching marks on her body come from?"

Facing Gao Hai's interrogation, Zhang Xianyi still did not panic.

"I don't know what's wrong with this child recently, she suffers from oral diseases, and she is already a picky eater, so she will become thinner."

Oral disease?

They hadn't heard that Zhen Ran had an oral disease.

When Gao Hai asked Zhang Xianyi for a certificate of Zhen Ran's oral disease, Zhang Xianyi was a little hesitant and was still forcibly quibbling: "This child has a mouth sore, do I still have to give her a certificate?" ”

I just talked about oral diseases, and now I talk about mouth sores.

"And she had bruises on her body before, we don't know how she got it, she must have bumped it when she was playing with the child in kindergarten, right?" Zhang Xianyi looked really puzzled, but unfortunately Gao Hai didn't eat his set and never believed it.

"We were merciful enough that we didn't hold the kindergarten accountable, so why would we be named as suspects?"

Seeing that the explanation could not be answered, Zhang Xianyi began to ask the policemen in front of him.

"Because we have checked the monitoring of the kindergarten, the children will not fight with other children in the kindergarten."

Zhen Ran behaved very withdrawn in the kindergarten, and after being carried into the kindergarten by the teacher, she either sat in place by herself, or pinched a few blocks and played all day.

Usually children who are more than a year old can already call their parents, but Zhen Ran can't say a word.

Hearing such an answer, Zhang Xianyi choked for a while, and it took a while before she squeezed out a sentence.

A phrase he would say every time after an interrogation.

"Is it because we're adoptive that we're so suspicious?"

This time it was the same again, the police could not get evidence, only confessions were useless, and the scars on the child's body did not leave the DNA of the abuser.

They had no way of telling who had done it.

reported the case three times, but ended up without a problem.

They also missed three chances to save Zhen Ran.

May 26, 2023, the day Mr. Qin said.

Zhen Ran came to the kindergarten early and was carried into the playhouse by Teacher Qin. The playroom was full of colorful toys, but after Xiao Zhenran came to the house, she just silently crawled to the corner and sat there against the wall, with no expression on her face, not even the small cake prepared for her by the teacher.

After taking care of the other children, Teacher Qin quickly noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Zhen Ran, and when he got closer and saw that the cake was not moving, the teacher smiled and picked up the small cake and prepared to coax Zhen Ran to eat it.

But Zhen Ran couldn't open his mouth.

When he saw Teacher Qin, Zhen Ran didn't have any expression.

Seeing this, Teacher Qin put down the cake and left.

After a while, Mr. Qin, who was holding a bottle of milk, appeared in the surveillance screen again. She returned to Xiao Zhen Ran, tested the temperature, and put the bottle in Zhen Ran's hand.

Zhen Ran only took one sip and suddenly began to gasp for air.

Teacher Qin was taken aback, and hurriedly threw away the milk, carefully helping Zhen Ran to calm down.

Zhen Ran seems to be sick.

Teacher Qin carefully took Zhen Ran into his arms, hugged her and talked to Zhen Ran all the time.

Zhen Ran, who was in the teacher's arms, still had no expression except for weakness.

She doesn't seem to feel the last warmth of her life anymore.
