The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Wang Tieniu

"Got it, I’ll head over after eating." The man swallowed a mouthful of steamed bread and said.

The old lady looked at her son and sighed, "Alas."

"I wonder if Han Laosan’s granddaughter has been found. I saw the child during New Year’s; she was so adorable. Alas, it’s unexpected she’s gone missing. What has happened to people’s consciences these days!"

Upon hearing his mother mention Han Laosan’s granddaughter, the man’s hand paused while picking up food. His expression remained calm, but his gaze dropped slightly.

He looked at the food in front of him and stopped eating.

Standing up, the man took a new bowl from the cupboard and carefully picked some food into it.

The old lady sat at the doorway, looking outside, still lamenting Han Laosan’s family, oblivious to her son’s actions.

The man filled the bowl with food and took a clean bowl to cover it carefully, then placed it in the cupboard.

After thinking for a moment, he reached into his pocket and took out a handful of money — ten yuan, five yuan, twenty yuan, scattered altogether over sixty yuan.

Having counted the money, the man stood up and walked outside.

"Son, you’ve finished eating?" The old lady saw her son walk out and struggled to stand with a cane.

"Mom, I’m going to the clinic to buy some medicine. We can head to the team afterward."

The man quickly headed toward the door.

The old lady thought her son was buying medicine for her and quickly said, "I haven’t finished my medicine yet!"

"I’m buying my medicine. I’ve got a bit of a cold."

"Oh." The old lady sat back down, waiting for her son to return.

The man quickly walked to the village’s only clinic, "Brother, I’m still having trouble sleeping; can you prescribe me some medicine?"

The village doctor saw the man and smiled, "Why can’t you sleep again? Did you finish the medicine I prescribed last time? Don’t take too much of that; it’s bad for your health..."

The man chuckled awkwardly, "Ah, my days are just like this; one day at a time. Brother, please prescribe some more. I want to sleep well at night. It’s unbearable not to sleep at night!"

Seeing the man’s pitiful look, the village doctor sighed inwardly and relented, "Then wait a moment; I’ll get you some medicine."

"Alright, alright."

Soon, the village doctor came out of the room with a medicine bottle and handed it to the man.

"Take it when you can’t sleep. Remember to only take one pill, don’t overdo it."

"Alright, I know." The man nodded repeatedly, taking money out of his pocket and handing it to the village doctor.

He glanced at the counter, "Brother, could you give me a box of hawthorn balls? They taste good."

After listening, the village doctor went to the counter and took a box of hawthorn balls and handed them to the man, then calculated the money and found some change from the drawer for the man.

"I’m off, brother."

"Alright."

The man hurried home, noticing people heading to the team for physical exams along the way.

He glanced at them, expressionless, and when he returned home, he went into the room, carefully crushed a pill into powder, took some, and sprinkled it on the food he’d prepared...

"Let’s go, I hear the village head calling again..." The old lady stood up, calling her son inside the house.

Hearing his mother’s urging, the man checked his phone; it was past eight. He frowned and walked out.

"Mom, you go ahead; I’ll check on the cattle first and then come out to graze them."

"Alright, hurry up then."

"Okay."

The man walked directly to the barn in the backyard, where there were three cows and two calves.

As soon as he reached the backyard, the pungent smell of manure wafted into his nose, but for the man, who was long accustomed to it, it didn’t bother him at all.

He entered the barn and got the cows lying on the ground to stand up, then stood where the cow had been lying, squatted there quietly listening.

After a moment, he stood up and drove the cows to the other side, took feed from outside, placed it there, and let the cows eat hay.

He checked the time, thinking to get the physical exam done quickly and return...

Before leaving, he looked again at the cows eating grass and quickly walked out.

"Eh? Why is your Tie Niu walking so fast?"

A group of elderly people were slowly heading to the team, and someone joked with the old lady as they saw him scurry past.

The old lady looked at her son ahead and answered with a smile, "He’ll come back afterward and tend to the cows, taking them out to graze."

"Oh, right, your family sold a cow before the New Year; how many do you have now?"

Talking about cows, the topic shifted again.

The man quickly reached the team; the courtyard was already crowded with people lining up for physical exams.

Seeing the queue ahead, the man’s brows furrowed. His gaze scanned the crowd, relaxing a bit when he didn’t see Han Laosan’s family.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, continuously measuring everyone’s blood pressure.

This job was simple and easy, allowing her to touch every person.

But inwardly, she was anxious, as she hadn’t "seen" any visions yet.

"Name?"

"Wang Tieniu"

Nancy found Wang Tieniu’s name, noting Wang Tieniu, male, 43 years old.

She looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who said after measuring Wang Tieniu’s blood pressure, "Blood pressure 95, 112."

Nancy noted this behind Wang Tieniu’s name.

After his blood pressure check, the man quickly stood up and moved to the next table, his quick movement stirring a small breeze.

Lin Xiaoyan caught a whiff of a scent and glanced at the man.

The person who sat down afterward also smelled it and joked, "Wow, Tie Niu, the manure smell on you is strong; wash your clothes a few more times when doing laundry, the smell is intense!"

Wang Tieniu heard this, remained expressionless, and ignored the person.

Lin Xiaoyan, hearing the comment, understood in her heart, but she didn’t show any disdain; every role deserves respect.

No matter noble or humble.

"Son, you finished your physical exam?"

The old lady had just arrived at the team and saw her son finishing the exam and heading back.

The man slowly nodded, "Yeah, I’m going back to graze the cattle."

The old lady waved her hand, "Go on home."

The man left silently, just as he came, not drawing any attention from others.

He Qi’an stood aside, observing everyone. As he saw Wang Tieniu’s leaving silhouette, his gaze lingered on those hurried steps for a few seconds before moving away.

At nine, police from the town arrived, continuing the search around the village with Han Laosan’s family.

Nearly forty-eight hours had passed, and everyone harbored the worst thoughts.

But Han Laosan’s family refused to give up and persistently kept looking.

Those at the physical exams noticed the police arrival and gathered to discuss.

"Alas, traffickers are just too evil! They truly deserve thunder and lightning strikes!"

"Who wouldn’t say so? Poor Tongtong, alas..."
