8: One hour to solve a kidnapping case

“Officer, thank you for helping me find my son!”

Sun Chaohui’s voice choked up when he heard Gao Ze’s voice.

He had suffered countless deceptions in his search for his son, all of them after his money, but how could the Police deceive him like that?

If the Police said they found his son Sun Shuai’s whereabouts, then they must have found him.

Sun Chaohui hung up the phone, his right hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, his eyes welled up, and he immediately gathered his wife and daughter to tell them the news.

“Xiao Li, Shuai Shuai has been found.”

“Is it fake news? How was Shuai Shuai found?” Sun Chaohui’s wife, Wu Li, and daughter were first startled, then their gazes turned scrutinizing and suspicious.

They had been disappointed too many times.

“The news from the Police cannot be false; Shuai Shuai must have been found.”

“My son!”

At that moment, tears streamed from Wu Li’s eyes. She had been blaming herself and depressed for many years over her son Sun Shuai’s disappearance:

“Let’s quickly go to Pudong Traffic Police Brigade to find Shuai Shuai.”

......

After making the call, Gao Ze went straight to Jiajie Decoration Store in Pudong District.

According to today’s intelligence system, Sun Chaohui’s son, Sun Shuai, who was abducted twenty years ago, was working at Jiajie Decoration Store in Pudong District under the identity of Zhou Peng.

Gao Ze knew where Jiajie Decoration Store was; it was a store he often passed by on his way home from work, and he occasionally bought some hardware tools there to fix problems like leaky rental apartments.

“Hello, do you have an employee named Zhou Peng in your store?”

After arriving at the decoration store, Gao Ze found the front desk cashier.

“Yes, he’s the young man arranging the shelves!” The front desk cashier pointed to a young man in a blue uniform in the store.

Gao Ze looked over and saw a young man about 1.75 meters tall, working very diligently, meticulously wiping the shelves with a towel.

With just that one glance, he was able to determine that this young man was definitely Sun Shuai, and he was Sun Chaohui’s biological son.

Because their facial features were very similar.

“Are you Zhou Peng?” Gao Ze walked up to him and asked.

“Yes, sir, what do you need?”

Sun Shuai nodded, looking a little shy and speaking in a gentle manner.

“I am a Traffic Police, and I want to ask you some questions!” Gao Ze showed his identification. Sun Shuai was a little nervous. Had he committed some traffic violation?

He seemed to have run a red light on his bike today!

“Don’t be nervous, I just want to ask about your family situation. Do you have parents?”

“I’ve had no parents since I was young; my grandparents raised me!”

“You’re twenty years old this year, right?”

“Yes, Officer Gao, how do you know?”

Sun Shuai was a little shocked. He hadn’t revealed his true age to anyone in the store, fearing they might think he was too young to be competent at the job.

“Because when you were just born, you were abducted and sold by human traffickers.”

“Officer Gao, what do you mean? I was an abducted child?” Sun Shuai’s face was full of shock.

“Yes, actually your name should be Sun Shuai, not Zhou Peng. You were abducted twenty years ago.”

“Come back to the Traffic Police team with me, and you’ll understand.”

Sun Shuai looked incredulous and deeply surprised. Gao Ze found it difficult to explain clearly; only by meeting his biological father, Sun Chaohui, would he likely understand.

“Okay, Officer Gao, I’ll go to the Police station with you.”

The situation far exceeded Sun Shuai’s expectations. To clarify his situation, he followed Gao Ze to the Pudong Traffic Police Brigade.

However, what Gao Ze didn’t expect was that just as he and Sun Shuai got into a taxi, the captain of the Traffic Police Brigade, Zhou Weiguo, called.

“Xiao Gao, what is this all about?”

“A couple named Sun Chaohui has come to our Traffic Police Brigade looking for their son. They said they want to find their abducted son Sun Shuai at the Police station, and they said you called to inform them to come.”

Zhou Weiguo questioned, “Where do we have an abducted Sun Shuai in our Police team?”

“We really do!”

Gao Ze looked at Sun Shuai beside him and reassured him:

“Captain Zhou, please wait with the Sun Chaohui couple. When I arrive at the Police team, you will be able to see Sun Shuai.”

He had underestimated the Sun Chaohui couple’s eagerness to see their son; they arrived at the Traffic Police Brigade in less than half an hour.

“There really is a Sun Shuai?”

Listening to Gao Ze’s voice on the phone, a look of surprise flashed across Zhou Weiguo’s face, and he found it hard to believe.

Sun Chaohui was a wealthy man from Donghai City. The case of his missing son had been widely reported by the media. The case was recorded in every Police station in Donghai, and even the Traffic Police department knew about it.

However, Sun Chaohui had used extensive connections and resources from both political and business circles over the years, spending a great deal of money, and the Donghai Police had also put in great effort to find Sun Shuai.

But there had been no results.

Now Gao Ze had actually found Sun Shuai?

Zhou Weiguo’s doubt only lasted for a dozen minutes.

When they saw Gao Ze walk into the Traffic Police Brigade with a young man whose facial features were strikingly similar to Sun Chaohui’s, most of the Traffic Police knew what was going on.

They looked at Gao Ze with envy in their hearts.

Gao Ze had indeed found Sun Chaohui’s son, Sun Shuai. Not only did he solve this abduction case from twenty years ago, but he also put the wealthy Donghai City man, Sun Chaohui, deeply in his debt.

As expected.

When Sun Chaohui saw Sun Shuai’s face, which was carved from the same mold as his own, he and his wife immediately burst into tears and tightly embraced their son, Sun Shuai.

Fearing he would disappear without a trace again.
