Chapter 73 Abuse
"Liao Fei and Zhou Yanan live in 9, Building 1801, Tianchen Community."

Lin Jue parked the shared bicycle and looked at the navigation on his phone. The map showed that there was still thirty meters to go.

Tianchen Community is located in the high-tech construction zone. Everything here is new. The community is decorated in a high-end and luxurious style, and the housing prices are among the most expensive in the entire Sanjiang area.

It can be seen that Liao Fei's family background is not bad.

The young security guard standing at the door reached out and stopped Lin Jue who was about to follow the owner in: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jue took out the moving company's business card and handed it over with a wry smile: "I'm from the moving company. The owner of Building 9, 1801, asked me to help with the move."

"Moving?" The security guard glanced at the business card and then looked behind Lin Jue: "Why are you moving alone?"

This security guard was obviously more cautious than the previous front desk receptionist and did not easily believe what Lin Jue said.

"Let me first take a look at what needs to be moved, so that I can estimate the price and see how many people I need to call." Lin Jue said casually without changing his expression.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the owner." The security guard took the business card, turned around and walked into the security booth. Lin Jue followed him in shamelessly.

The young security guard picked up the landline phone on the table and looked at Lin Jue: "What building and number did you say just now?"

"Building 9, Building 1801."

Lin Jue watched the other person's fingers press the numbers 91801 on the keyboard, which should be able to directly dial the doorbell of the owner's house.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

"What's wrong?" An older security guard walked in at this time and looked at Lin Jue.

The young security guard walked over and handed over his business card: "Captain, this person said he was from a moving company. I just called the owner of Building 9, Room 1801 to confirm."

The security captain paused as he was about to take the business card, as if he had been electrocuted. "What's the number?"

"Building 9, 1801." Lin Jue replied. He could probably guess something from the other party's reaction.

Something must have happened to the person he was looking for.

"The owner of that house disappeared three months ago. Why would he move?"

Listening to the security captain's questioning, Lin Jue's face showed a shocked expression, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible, he called our company a week ago and said he was moving. He left this address and also said his name, what is it..."

At this point, he pretended to be thinking hard: "It seems to be called Liao Fei!"

"I'm telling you, the person is missing." The security captain wanted to chase Lin Jue away. He must know something, but he didn't want to say more.

"Hey, brother, don't push me. You're making me panic. Could it be that Guiyi is calling me?"

Lin Jue leaned his elbow against the door frame, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave one to the security captain: "Brother, please finish what you are saying, otherwise I won't be able to sleep when I go home tonight!"

I don’t know if it was Lin Jue’s words that worked, or Hua Zi’s work, but the security captain’s strength in his hands eased a little. Lin Jue took the opportunity to squeeze back into the room, gave a cigarette to the young security guard, and at the same time, considerately lit cigarettes for the two of them.

"Brother, you just said that the owner of 1801 is missing. What exactly happened?" The security captain took a puff of his cigarette, and in the smoke, his expression was lost in memories.

"The owner of 1801 is called Liao Fei. He's the owner of an auto repair shop. He comes from a well-off family. The three of them moved in when the complex was first renovated."

a family of three?
There are only two names in the diary, so where did the other child go?
Lin Jue was not polite at all, he brought a stool for himself and sat down.
"What a pity! They were once a happy family of three, but the child's mother fell seriously ill a year ago. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars but couldn't save her, leaving the child and his father to depend on each other."

"At first, it was fine. I often saw the father and son walking around the neighborhood, chatting and laughing. But then, six months later, his father started dating a new girlfriend, and found a stepmother for the child."

"Ever since that woman came, the child has been abused. They say if you have a stepmother, your biological father will become your stepfather. It's absolutely true."

The security captain puffed on his cigarette, a look of regret on his face: "At first, they just didn't give the child food. Later, if they were not satisfied with something, they would beat the child. Sometimes when I patrol the community at night, I often hear the child's miserable cries coming from their house."

"I even saw him beating a child at the gate of the community once. Not only did the stepmother not stop him, she even fanned the flames. If I hadn't stopped him in time, the child might have been beaten to death."

The security captain was a very empathetic person, and tears welled up in his eyes when he spoke of this: "That child was only 6 years old, he just lost his biological mother, and after a stepmother came, his biological father started abusing him. It's really a sin!"

"Within two months, the child was covered in wounds and was as thin as a bag of bones. He used to be very lively and cheerful, but now he hides when he sees people and starts shaking all over when he hears his father's voice."

He wiped away a tear, his face filled with resentment. "Just three months ago, I realized I hadn't seen the child in a long time. I went to room 1801 and knocked on the door, but all I heard was weak crying."

"The sound was intermittent, like a kitten about to die. I realized something was wrong and quickly called the police."

"When the police arrived, Liao Fei and his girlfriend from Room 1801 had disappeared. There was a cage on the balcony of the room..."

The security captain couldn't continue, his shoulders shrugged, and he suppressed his tears: "The child is lying in the cage."

"There was a basin in the cage with only a few noodles in it. I couldn't believe how he managed to hold on."

Lin Jue was silent, finding it hard to imagine that there could be such a father in the world.

"So where is the child now?" He lit a cigarette for himself, and the smoke entered his lungs, making his chest feel a little stuffy.

"The police searched for Liao Fei for a long time but couldn't find him. He must have been afraid that his child abuse would be exposed and he would be arrested, so he ran away with the stepmother."

"The child has no other relatives, so we can only wait for the child's injuries to heal and then temporarily send him to an orphanage."

The security captain wiped the tears from his eyes and said in a depressed mood: "It's a good thing that the beastly father disappeared. Although the conditions in the welfare home are so-so, at least the child will not be abused anymore."

Orphanage?
Sanjiang Little Red Flower Welfare Home, Liao Fan?
Lin Jue remembered the note that fell out of his diary at that time.

At that time, he did not connect the note with the name Liao Fei, but now after listening to the security captain, he realized that Liao Fan must be the abused child.

"If I had called the police sooner, the child's face wouldn't have looked like that." The security captain's face was filled with remorse and grief. "That's a scar that will stay with him for life. How could that beast have the heart to do that to him!"

Lin Jue patted the other's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother, you have done enough. If you hadn't discovered it in time, the child might have died in the cage."

Even without the influence of the fog, some things can no longer be called human.

For example, Mr. Zhu in the script under the bed, and now Liao Fei
