When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 305 Something Happened at My Aunt's House
Lin's father looked at the village in front of him, his eyes fixed on the people at the village entrance, trying to find familiar faces among them.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her father and asked, "Dad, what's Aunt's name? Should I go downstairs and ask?"

Lin's father came to his senses and said, "I got out of the car and asked."

After saying that, Lin's father got out of the car and walked into the crowd at the village entrance.

Soon, Lin's father returned, his face showing disappointment.

Lin's mother looked at her husband and asked, "What's wrong? Did we come to the wrong place?"

Mr. Lin shook his head. “The location is correct, but I just asked around and none of them have heard of my sister’s name. They don’t know she exists.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the village and said, "Dad, why don't you get in the car and we'll go ask the village chief?"

Lin's father: "Okay."

They continued walking towards the village and soon saw the village committee building.

After parking the car in Nanxi, everyone got out and walked towards the village committee building.

Why send it?

As soon as I went up the steps, a woman came out of the house.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly said, "Hello, we're from Haishi, we're looking for someone..."

The woman waved her hand, "Oh, I don't hear much."

The woman led them into the house, where two or three people were sitting. They all looked over when they saw people coming in.

The woman spoke a few words quickly in her dialect. Then, a young woman sitting near the door stood up, smiled, and asked them to sit down first. She then asked them in Mandarin why they had come.

Lin Xiaoyan said, "It's like this, we came from Haishi to look for our relatives."

"Looking for relatives?" Li Fang said to the people in the room.

The others immediately gathered around. It was strange that someone would come looking for relatives in their area!

"Who are you looking for? What's their name?"

Mr. Lin quickly said, "Look for my sister. She's fifty-five years old this year. Her name is Lin Shulan."

"I'm from Henan Province," Lin Xiaoyan added.

Li Fang: "Lin Shulan? Are you sure she's from our village?"

Mr. Lin quickly replied, "I'm sure. My sister sent me a letter back then, and the address on it is this one."

“Lin Shulan?” A middle-aged man thought for a moment, but couldn’t remember anyone in the village. He looked at Li Fang and said, “Xiao Fang, check the village’s list on the computer and see if she is there.”

Li Fang nodded and said to Lin Xiaoyan and the others, "Please sit down for a while, I'll check the computer."

"Okay, please."

Li Fang sat down at the computer and began searching the list…

Five minutes later, Li Fang said with a smile, "Found it, it turns out it belongs to Jin Yi's family."

"Jin Yi?" The others looked at Lin's father and the others with complicated expressions.

Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Lin's father's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "My sister...is she gone?"

Li Fang: "Yes, yes, but they don't live in the village now."

Mr. Lin was initially overjoyed, but his mood soared when he learned that his sister was not in the village.

Lin's mother patted her husband's arm, offering him silent comfort.

Lin Xiaoyan asked, "Do you know where they are now?"

“They…” Li Fang glanced at the others.

Lin Xiaoyan noticed that the people's expressions were off and asked, "Has something happened at my aunt's house?" Hearing Lin Xiaoyan's question, the village officials fell silent. They looked at Lin Xiaoyan and her companions and sized them up.

They noticed that these people were dressed quite well, and hesitated whether they should say anything.

Mr. Lin also sensed that something was amiss. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to the men present, and asked with a smile, "I don't know your names. You all came all this way just to see my sister."

When my sister passed away, I was immature and made her angry. We haven't been in contact for many years.

As people get older, they start to think about their loved ones. I hope that before I die, I can find my sister, see her, and see how she is doing…

Lin's father kept rambling on and on, until finally, a man spoke up.

“Your sister’s family is not in the village now. We don’t know where she went, but we have her husband’s phone number. You can call and ask.”

Mr. Lin was overjoyed. "Thank you so much! It's good to have a phone. I'll call him right now. Thank you!"

As soon as he got his hands on the phone, Mr. Lin couldn't wait to go out and make the call.

Lin Xiaoyan then looked at the other people in the room, whose expressions varied, and asked with a smile, "You've been here for so long, and you still don't know how to address me."

Li Fang smiled and said, "This is our village chief."

Lin Xiaoyan looked over and saw the middle-aged man who had just called her father.

"This is our Party Secretary, our Captain..."

After listening, Lin Xiaoyan realized that everyone present was a leader from the village.

She whispered a few words to Sister Nan, and Nanxi nodded and walked out the door.

Then, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the people in the room and said with a smile, "Hello, leaders, thank you so much for today."

"Thank goodness we had you all, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to find anyone after coming all this way."

"It's alright, it's alright, they're from our village, they'll definitely be able to find it for you."

"If they weren't from our village, we couldn't help them either," the village chief said with a smile.

At that moment, Nancy came in carrying several gifts from the car.

Upon seeing what Nancy was carrying, the people inside the room all turned to look.

Lin Xiaoyan placed the items on the table beside her. "We left in a hurry and didn't take much. This is just a small token of our appreciation. We are very grateful to all the leaders for their help in finding my aunt. We hope you will accept it."

The village chief immediately said sternly, "This is what we should do. You can take the things; we cannot accept them."

Lin's mother smiled and said, "This is our token of appreciation, and we also thank the village chief and others for helping my sister all these years. My sister married so far away, and we don't know how she's been doing all these years..."

At this point, the village chief hesitated again.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her mother, whose eyes darkened. She asked, "Village chief, is something wrong with my sister's family? Please tell me directly."

The village chief thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Please sit down and talk."

"Okay." Lin's mother pulled her daughter down to sit. As for her husband, she glanced at Lin's father, who was still on the phone outside, then looked away. She decided not to invite him, in case her sister-in-law's family…

Li Fang took a few disposable cups and poured tea for the group.

"Thank you."

The village chief slowly said, "This isn't a secret; everyone in our village knows that the Jin family has indeed encountered some trouble..."

"Jin Yijia, oh, that's Lin Shulan's husband. His family is small. Both of his parents passed away ten years ago. It's just the two of them and their two children."

The older one seems to be a girl, she's 29 years old this year, and she's married and living in town.

The younger one is a boy named Jin Le, twenty-five years old this year, and not married yet.
