The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Cellar Hidden in the Cowshed

"Village chief, please lead the way to Wang Tieniu’s house!"

The village chief snapped out of it and hurriedly agreed.

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi also followed to Wang Tieniu’s house.

A group of people followed the village chief into the village.

Doctor Zhang watched the two girls who had come with them today, as they followed the police into the village. He wondered, who exactly are these people? What are they up to?

The villagers saw the village chief leading a group of police into the village and began discussing what was going on.

Han Laosan ran directly up to the village chief, asking if there was news about his child.

The village chief glanced at Han Laosan, then looked at the police beside him, unsure of what to say. He didn’t know what was happening either!

He Qi’an spoke up from the side, "We will continue searching for your child. Right now, we have another matter to attend to. Please wait at the team headquarters for a bit. Once we’re done, we’ll continue the search. Okay?"

Han Laosan’s face showed disappointment, "Alright, alright..."

The village chief glanced at Han Laosan and continued leading the police to Wang Tieniu’s house.

"The house in front is Wang Tieniu’s," the village chief pointed at the village’s sole courtyard.

He Qi’an looked at the village chief and whispered, "Could you please knock on the door and get Wang Tieniu out?"

The village chief nodded in agreement. He walked up to Wang Tieniu’s front door and heavily knocked on the iron gate.

"Iron Bull! Iron Bull, are you home?"

He Qi’an walked up next to Lin Feng and whispered a few words.

Lin Feng nodded, then led his men to disperse and surround Wang Tieniu’s house, hiding themselves.

He Qi’an then looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Stay safe and stick close to Sister Nan."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Alright."

After speaking, He Qi’an quickly went to the side of Wang Tieniu’s house, moved along the wall, and headed towards the back.

Just then, Wang Tieniu was carefully coming out of the barn with a bowl and chopsticks when he heard the village chief’s voice.

His heart sank. He hurried the cows to the corner, hastily piled hay over the cellar entrance, and let the cows eat the hay.

Quickly, he returned to the house, hid the medicine bottle carefully, and then went to the front yard answering the call.

"Iron Bull, you’re home!" The village chief heard the sound of the door opening and immediately turned to find people.

However, the police were nowhere to be seen, leaving only two girls.

This...

The village chief paused. He had called him out, but now what?

Lin Xiaoyan immediately saw the hesitation in the village chief and bit her lip, quickly stepping forward.

Nan Xi noticed Lin Xiaoyan approaching and quickly pulled her back, "You stay here, I’ll go."

"Sister Nan..." Lin Xiaoyan watched as Nan Xi walked to the door while she stayed a short distance away.

Wang Tieniu opened the door and saw the village chief and two women. He appeared puzzled, "Village chief, is there something you need?"

The village chief smiled awkwardly, looking towards Nan Xi.

Nan Xi calmly looked at the man in front of her and said, "I heard from the village chief that you sell cows. I want to buy one from you."

Upon hearing it was about buying a cow, Wang Tieniu visibly relaxed, showing a simple and honest smile, "Sure, sure, I have three cows and two calves."

"I want a cow. What’s your price?"

...

Meanwhile, He Qi’an quietly climbed into Wang Tieniu’s backyard.

He landed softly, saw the barn, and quickly approached it.

Earlier, he had asked Lin Xiaoyan about the location of the cellar. So when he saw the cows clustered in a spot within the barn, he knew where the cellar entrance was.

He Qi’an quickly entered the barn, gently moved the cows aside.

Then he lightly tapped the ground, listening for sounds.

Finally, he found a spot where it sounded hollow beneath; amidst the noise from the front yard, he felt around the ground was a slight depression...

He lifted the board gently, releasing a musty smell from below, and glanced down before jumping in.

Upon landing, he turned on his phone flashlight to illuminate the inside.

The cellar was very small, approximately three or four square meters, with a complete view at a glance.

At the moment, a small figure was quietly lying on temporarily laid straw.

He Qi’an carefully approached, discovering it was indeed a child, lying there quietly and seemingly asleep.

The child had hands and feet bound by a dog chain.

The child’s clothes were intact, without any scars on their body, just...

He Qi’an gently nudged the child, but the child remained unmoved.

"Would you like to see my cows? You can pick one. My cows are very healthy..."

In the front yard, Wang Tieniu felt uneasy for unknown reasons. He now desperately wanted to check the barn.

Nan Xi: "No need, you can choose one yourself. I’ll give you an address; can you deliver it tomorrow?"

Wang Tieniu just wanted to quickly go to the barn, nodding his head, "Alright, alright, I’ll... You tell the village chief, I need to let the cows out for grazing!"

With that, Wang Tieniu was about to close the door.

Nan Xi jammed her foot against the door, frowning and staring coldly at Wang Tieniu’s distracted face, "We’re not done yet."

"This... I..." Wang Tieniu’s anxiety grew as he kept glancing towards the courtyard.

"Village chief, why are you here?"

At that moment, Wang Tieniu’s elderly mother returned, leaning on her cane.

Lin Xiaoyan turned and saw the old lady, feeling sorry for her.

Raising a child with hardship, only for it to lead to her demise. What’s the point of raising such a child?

Suddenly, a whistle sounded from Wang Tieniu’s backyard.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the police hidden around immediately rushed out.

Wang Tieniu’s expression changed drastically as he tried to run back into the yard.

Nan Xi kicked him down, taking control.

"Click"

Lin Feng cuffed Wang Tieniu.

He Qi’an stepped out, shouting, "Get to the team’s headquarters and call a doctor, the rest head to the backyard!"

Lin Feng immediately ordered someone to call the doctor, then had someone guard Wang Tieniu while the others quickly ran to the backyard.

The village chief hurriedly followed, his heart pounding ferociously. Just what had Wang Tieniu done!

The old lady was stunned, "What’s going on? Why are you arresting my son?!

My son is a good person; he wouldn’t do anything wrong. Don’t take my son..."

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi also hurried into the courtyard, running towards the backyard.

He Qi’an pointed to the barn, "There’s a cellar in the barn. I just went down and saw a child there. I think it’s the missing child from the village."

Lin Feng and the others listened and their faces changed dramatically.

They had been searching for almost two days, looking throughout the village but couldn’t find the child.

They had checked the surveillance, and no strangers were seen entering the village.

Initially, they concluded it was likely someone familiar who committed the crime.

But after searching the village, they had inspected every house, even Wang Tieniu’s house yesterday. They looked everywhere, except the barn... They hadn’t checked inside.

No one expected, the cellar to be in the barn!!!
