Chapter 557: 405, This time, we are desperate together (first update)

If a humanoid figure in one camera can be identified, then the blurry images that originally were not easily recognizable in other footage can also be referenced against the first camera. Consequently, everyone reports that more images of George appear in several cameras, and in some shots, he is personally carrying something on his back, appearing distinctly like a humanoid figure!

However, due to the limited budget of the police station, the cameras are somewhat outdated, and the surveillance footage is not clear. Tang Yanqing orders Guan Liang to do his best to restore them, to which Guan Liang can only shrug helplessly: "This is another professional field. My help is limited. Unless we hire a more authoritative professional company."

Jia Tianzi suddenly recalls something, glancing over at Tang Yanqing but not daring to speak directly.

Tang Yanqing naturally thinks of it as well and squints his eyes.

In the field of image restoration, the globally most authoritative is the "Bright Mirror" company. Coincidentally, it was also the company that helped Huangfu Huazhang restore the video footage in the Kangchuan University serial case.

As if their minds were connected, just as their thoughts turn to Huangfu Huazhang, an officer outside approaches Tang Yanqing and reports in a low voice: "Huangfu Huazhang has arrived, claiming to report a case."

"Report a case?" Tang Yanqing squints his eyes: "What case?"

The young officer looks up, slightly panicked, at him: "Missing persons case."

.

Tang Yanqing turns and walks out of the computer room, heading down the corridor to the office. Through the glass window that opens to the corridor, he gazes from afar at Huangfu Huazhang sitting by his desk.

In a black suit, elegant and noble, yet even from a distance, his face looks starkly pale.

Above that pallor, his blue eyes appear exceedingly cold. Like the skies over the polar snowfields at the junction of day and night, eerie and forbidding.

Tang Yanqing walks in, expressionless: "She is missing, I already personally discovered it, there’s no need for Cousin to make a redundant move, reporting the case a second time!"

Why does Huangfu Huazhang come to report a missing persons case? He’s simply here to witness a joke!

Facing his gaze, Huangfu Huazhang’s face, beyond its chilliness, holds no trace of expression.

Under usual circumstances, at least a hint of disdain would surface on Huangfu Huazhang’s face.

Tang Yanqing becomes vigilant, restraining his emotions: "Could it be that someone really has disappeared from Cousin’s side?"

Xia Zuo stands by, glaring fiercely at Tang Yanqing: "Mr. Tang, you still have time to joke at a moment like this. Our Miss is missing, the little Miss is also gone."

Tang Yanqing hears a buzz in his ears: "Who did you say? Who are Miss and little Miss?"

Xia Zuo is also highly agitated, thinking Tang Yanqing is intentionally being difficult, stepping forward to take action. It is Huangfu Huazhang who extends a cane, personally stopping Xia Zuo.

He raises his eyes directly at Tang Yanqing: "That’s right, it’s Jieyou. My Nian Nian is missing, my Jieyou is also missing."

"What did you say?" After handling so many suspicious and difficult cases over the years, even Tang Yanqing cannot help the violent throb of his heart, almost losing his composure.

How can even Jieyou be missing?

If Shi Nian returns, how will he explain it to her?

Compared to Shi Nian’s disappearance, Jieyou is still so young, her disappearance makes every visceral part cry out in pain!

Tang Yanqing presses his hand against his chest, raising his eyes fixedly on Huangfu Huazhang.

Huangfu Huazhang’s pallor and despair, at this moment, is no less than Tang Yanqing himself. But he has always been restrained, enduring, not wanting to reveal his feelings in public.

Tang Yanqing struggles to breathe: "When did this happen?"

Huangfu Huazhang’s lips are bereft of color, just a pallid white. He lifts his blue eyes: "This morning. Today, I originally promised to take Jieyou to meet Mama, to have lunch or dinner together, I promised her. But you suddenly came to find me this morning, telling me Nian Nian was missing, and I was completely thrown into chaos."

"After you left, I immediately contacted everyone I know." He mirrors Tang Yanqing, his eyes unblinking: "You understand, I don’t trust your police, nor do I trust you, so I wanted to investigate myself, I wanted to find her myself."

"I was completely scrambled at that point, unable to pay attention to anything, or manage anything, and went straight out with people to meet and arrange matters, neglecting Jieyou."

He pauses here, takes a deep breath, then raises his head, his blue eyes faintly shimmering with moisture.

This startles Tang Yanqing and the people around. This kind of Huangfu Huazhang, they have never seen before.

"It was at this moment that I received a call from my servant saying Jieyou was missing. Only then did I realize that I had been so focused on Nian Nian’s issue that I had neglected Jieyou, not even noticing if she had heard about Nian Nian’s disappearance. I hurried back home, rushed into Jieyou’s room, and indeed saw a line written on the small blackboard where Jieyou usually draws."

Huangfu Huazhang was already speechless at this point.

Xia Zuo handed over a photo from the phone, and when Tang Yanqing looked at it, his eyes turned red too.

On the small blackboard, written in red chalk: "Jieyou went to save Mommy!"

.

The office plunged into deathly silence, with both Huangfu Huazhang and Tang Yanqing, the two leading men, having rare red eyes, while the crowd of police officers felt a heavy heart.

Yes, for them, even though Shi Nian’s disappearance pained them, how could this pain compare to Jieyou’s? The missing person is her mother, the most irreplaceable person to her in this world.

Huangfu Huazhang turned his face, gazing out the window, his fingers tightly clutching the crystal skull atop his palm.

"It’s my fault; I actually overlooked Jieyou, actually let her hear it. I, Huangfu Huazhang, who have always prided myself on remaining calm in crises over the years, am surprisingly all over the place this time, utterly bewildered. So, Jieyou’s disappearance is all my fault."

He slowly turned back to stare at Tang Yanqing: "I suddenly can empathize with Shi Haoran’s feelings back then. When he unexpectedly heard about Nian Nian’s kidnapping, he must have been entirely as chaotic as I am, right? That’s why there were fumbling moves, that’s why no trace of the detective’s flair could be found."

Tang Yanqing couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Huangfu Huazhang murmured, "Back then, Shi Haoran’s wife and daughter were simultaneously harmed, the daughter snatched away, and the wife, watching helplessly as the daughter was taken away, was traumatized. Isn’t it exactly like our current situation, yours and mine? Our combined predicament right now just happens to be the complete feeling Shi Haoran had back then."

Tang Yanqing took a deep breath: "You mean, someone deliberately targets both of us at once, just to have us experience my father-in-law’s feelings from back then."

Huangfu Huazhang neither nodded nor denied: "Although I don’t trust the police, nor trust you, I trust myself even less this time. I don’t want to admit it in front of you, yet I have no choice but to admit it: I’m now utterly bewildered, I fear this time I won’t be able to rescue Jieyou on my own."

"So, I still came. I came to bow and concede to you police; I came to ask you police: help me safely find Nian Nian, and even more safely bring back my Jieyou, I beg you."

At this moment, although Huangfu Huazhang remained elegant and noble, his attitude had become just like any father in this world who has lost a child, bewildered and helpless, on the verge of tears as he spoke.

He stared tightly at Tang Yanqing: "If that person’s aim is to force me to concede, fine, I concede. Now I can set aside all my pride, I can give up everything I have, just to ensure they safely return to my side."

Tang Yanqing raised his eyes to meet Huangfu Huazhang’s gaze, his heart a mix of emotions.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Huazhang was actually willing to concede.

But at this moment, how could Tang Yanqing feel even a bit of victory? He stepped aside slightly, avoiding Huangfu Huazhang’s concession, and said indifferently, "Even without your concession and request, I, Tang Yanqing, would lay down my life to find them, both publicly and privately. No matter who it is, I will definitely bring that person to justice."

Just then, Gao Cheng hurriedly walked over, pressing urgently beside Tang Yanqing’s ear: "We’ve also found footage of Jieyou."

"Where? Take me to see it!"

Tang Yanqing instructed Jia Tianzi to temporarily accompany Huangfu Huazhang and the others in making a record while he swiftly returned to Guan Liang’s computer room.

Opening the surveillance footage, this time during daylight, the images were clearer.

The footage was captured by the surveillance equipment near the intersection adjacent to Huangfu Huazhang’s castle. The rear window of a vehicle reflected the visage of a little girl. After enhancing and refining the image, Tang Yanqing closed his eyes.

It was indeed Jieyou.

"Mr. Tang, look," Guan Liang enlarged the image of the person next to Jieyou, though it was just a silhouette, strictly speaking merely a nape, but after comparing the anatomical proportions and data of George himself, it matched perfectly!

Tang Yanqing felt countless trains racing across his mind, their whistles screaming, wheels clashing against the tracks, rumbling incessantly.

It was George who took Jieyou; there was no doubt about it.

As a desperate, utterly bewildered father, Huangfu Huazhang barely managed to calmly finish the record and insisted on staying. He said he would sit in the police station, waiting for any tidbit of news about Nian Nian and his daughter.

Jia Tianzi could only advise that news would naturally be provided upon discovery.

Huangfu Huazhang gave a bitter smile, his blue eyes filled with blood: "If I’m not here, if I go back home and face that empty room without Jieyou, I might end up killing myself."
