"The counselor also realized the seriousness of the situation and no longer tried to stop them. He quickly said, 'Okay, I'll call the police.'
Upon receiving the police report, the officers came to the school to gather information. They reviewed the surveillance footage near the school and discovered that two nights ago, Xiao Xiao got into a man's car and was brought back the next day at noon. However, instead of returning to school immediately, she was abducted by two men in a van.
The police immediately began searching for the van and found it at the entrance of a secluded alley. Upon investigation, they discovered that the van was a scrapped vehicle.
The trail went cold.
Xiao Xiao seemed to have vanished into thin air, and there was no trace of her.
The police summoned Huang De Han and asked him, 'Did you have any contact with Xiao Xiao two days ago?'
'Yes, I brought her back to school at noon two days ago, and then I went back to work,' Huang De Han replied calmly.
'What is your relationship with her? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?' the police asked.
'Um... sort of,' Huang De Han replied with a faint smile. 'But she's not my only girlfriend.'
The police gave Huang De Han a stern look and continued, 'After you dropped her off at school, did you contact her again?'
'No, after I dropped her off, I didn't contact her at all,' Huang De Han paused and asked in confusion, 'What happened to Xiao Xiao exactly?'
'We're currently investigating that. Just tell us what you know.'
'You can trust me, I'll tell you everything I know,' Huang De Han said earnestly.
'Who were you with last night?'
'I was with my new girlfriend.'
'What's her name? And where were you yesterday?'
'Her name is Zhou Jia Jia, and we were at...' Huang De Han mentioned the address of a rented room.
As the police recorded his statement, they asked, 'Is this your place?'
'No, it's a house I rented for my girlfriend.'
'What about the night before yesterday? Who were you with?'
Huang De Han's heart skipped a beat. He had been careless. He had been so focused on quickly disposing of Xiao Xiao's body that he had forgotten about this.
However, he hesitated only for a moment, and Huang De Han replied calmly, 'The night before yesterday, I was alone in the newly rented room cleaning. My girlfriend was going to move in the next day, so I went there to tidy up.'
'So, you were alone that night?'
'Yes.'
'Why didn't you let your girlfriend help?'
'Because I wanted to surprise her.'
The police stared at Huang De Han, attempting to intimidate him and break through his psychological defenses.
Huang De Han didn't avoid the police's gaze and met it calmly.
The police withdrew their gaze and continued, 'On the 20th, you picked up Xiao Xiao and then went somewhere. Where did you go?'
A cold sweat broke out on Huang De Han's back, but he maintained a steady voice and replied, 'On the night of the 20th, I picked up Xiao Xiao from school. She asked me to take her to Jiangshan Park, saying she had a friend staying there, so I drove her there.'
The police's eyes locked onto Huang De Han's, and they asked, 'And then what happened?'"
"After I dropped her off at Jiangshan Park, I left."
"Who is Xiao Xiao meeting there? Is it a man or a woman? What's their name?"
"I don't know. After I took her there, she asked me to leave."
"You left her alone there? Didn't you see her friend?"
"Yes, when I dropped her off, I didn't see her friend. She asked me to leave, so I left."
