Jiang Yuan arrived at the scene to find a crowd already encircling the police tape.
There were villagers looking for entertainment, passersby who enjoyed drama, and parents crying their hearts out.
"Officer, officer, please help us check if our child is inside?" A tricycle stopped at the intersection, and a couple rushed over, holding a photo of their child.
The officer they grabbed was on the outer perimeter, and this wasn't the first time they had encountered such a situation. With difficulty, he glanced at the photo and murmured something softly.
The couple immediately burst into tears.
Jiang Yuan and the accompanying officers pretended not to see. For an unsolved case, it was against the rules to disclose any information—any public release of information had to be approved by higher-ranking leaders. Thus, for some cases stirring public opinion, the police kept silent.
