Chapter 3 - Signed Ransom Note : Part 1

"Huh? What did you see?" Wang Meng was stunned.

Huang Ji didn't say anything directly ,he paused, pointed to the old tree on the roadside and said, "I walked this way in the morning, and I saw Li Fan playing behind this tree from afar".

"If Dr. Liang went out, he should have seen it."

Wang Meng said in surprise: "Why didn't you talk about such an important thing earlier?"

Huang Ji said in a daze: "Sorry I just remembered".

"Uh..." Wang Meng had nothing to say about it ,he just remembered that Huang ji is a mentally retarded child.

He was just about to ask who Li Fan was, but the village head suddenly walked out. The village head also heard Huang Ji's words and said strangely: "You mean the son of Li's family?"

Huang Ji nodded.

The village chief sighed: "I have asked their house, but he said that he hadn't seen her today".

Huang Ji looked at the village chief who seemed like he didn't want to ask Li's family again. And upon hearing this, Wang Meng also stopped.

"..." Huang Ji stared at the old tree on the roadside again. He was very sure in his heart that Dr. Liang was taken away by four men.

And at the same time as they took her away, Li Fan was beside the old tree, and he should have seen the whole process.

"Didn't see it? No... he definitely saw it." Huang Ji thought secretly.

Huang Ji looked at the village chief, and said in a simple way: "I saw Li Fan at seven o'clock so did Doctor Liang disappear earlier than 7 am?"

The head of the village nodded, if Li Fan hadn't seen her then Doctor Liang had disappeared before he played with the tree. That is before 7 am.

Thinking of this, Wang Meng was taken aback, it was too early. The door of the clinic opened at around seven. Dr. Liang disappear only after he opened the door of the clinic. Li Fan was playing here at seven, but he didn't see it?

Wang Meng couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what did Li Fan say?"

The village chief said: "We didn't go much into details , I asked if he had seen her today, and he said he had not seen her."

"Forget it, I will ask again. Xiao Li! Where's he? Call your son over!"

They were reminded by Huang Ji's words so they wanted to ask them again in detail.

Soon, Xiao Li brought his son Li Fan over. Li Fan was only twelve years old. Seeing so many people surrounding him, he was definitely nervous.

"Did you see Doctor Liang this morning?" Wang Meng asked.

Li Fan shook his head quickly: "I didn't see her."

Wang Meng asked: "Did you play at the entrance of the health station in the morning? Did you open the door then? What time?"

Li Fan was taken aback, and said, "How did you know?"

"Huang Ji has seen it all. Isn't it seven o'clock?" Wang Meng asked. He didn't suspect that Li Fan was lying. He just wanted to determine when Dr. Liang was missing.

Unexpectedly, Li Fan shouted, "What does he know he is just a fool! It was already half past seven when I came."

"Huh?" Wang Meng raised his brows.

Huang Ji calmly said: "Seven o'clock."

Li Fan shouted: "It was half past seven! You have a wrong memory."

Huang Ji stared into Li Fan's eyes and said calmly: "Seven o'clock."

Li Fan pointed to Huang Ji and said, "You know he will keep repeating the same sentence again and again, this fool , he remembered it wrong!"

Wang Meng asked: "Huang Ji, how can you be sure that it is seven?"

"My grandfather asked me to go out at seven o'clock to see Dr. Liang. I went out early, but didn't want to see the doctor, so I went home soon after arriving here. At that time, I had seen Li Fan at seven." Huang Ji lied without a heartbeat.

Yes, he was lying. He went out at seven in the morning, but didn't go to the clinic. Instead, he walked around the fields and went back.

Huang ji did not see Li Fan but he believed in his guts more .Li Fan was definitely behind the tree at the time Doctor Liang was taken away ,so he lied that he saw him at that time as no other person here knew where he was this morning.

He had to say that after lying once he became familiar with it, as long as it cannot be proved wrong it will become the truth.

Wang Meng patted Huang ji and said to Li Fan: " He is just slightly mentally affected he is not a fool, he still remembers clearly .You are the one who knows lying at a young age, tell the truth now!"

He is a policeman after all. Facing Huang Ji's 'sluggish' statements, Li Fan was very flustered, and Wang Meng could see it.

Li Fan was only twelve years old and couldn't really hide things in his heart. Wang Meng glared at him and forced him to go into panic immediately, his eyes started to avoid Wang Meng.

When his father saw this, he knew that he was lying, and said, "You are wanting to get beaten?! You would lie for this kind of thing? Where have you seen Doctor Liang!"

After getting kicked, Li Fan immediately shed tears and started to spill the truth.

" I saw that... She was dragged away by a group which looked fierce, and there had knives. They said that if I said anything, they would kill me. I was afraid... …"

"What!" Wang Meng was shocked, now everyone realized that Doctor Liang might have been kidnapped.

Only Huang Ji was calm at the scene. He was not surprised at all, he had known this.

Fortunately, everyone was not surprised by Huang Ji's "sluggishness", they are all used to Huang Ji's daze, they thought he hasn't understood what Li Fan's words meant.

"Trash! He frightened you, so you didn't say it out? Useless!" Li Fan's father was very angry and kicked again.

Li Fan cowered and said: "It's true! He didn't lie to me, I told you now...Father! He will definitely kill me and you will also..."

"Who is a fool now !" Li Fan's father cursed again.

Wang Meng's face was solemn. If he wasnt sure if Doctor Liang was missing before, now he is sure that this is a criminal case .

They were able to scare Li Fan like this. He looked so scared that he didn't dare to say anything before, and from his tone, eyes movements, and actions the people at the time were definitely not a joke.

Li Fan can only be deterred from telling the truth if there was real danger. Li Fan is just twelve years old, therefore he is unable to do these kind of jokes.

Wang Meng called the office quickly to report the situation.

Now that there are witnesses, it can be identified as a kidnapping case.
