While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 284
"Hedgehog?" Song He was stunned: "Is it a reporter or Chen Haoyu's parents?"

Facing Song He's concerned inquiry, Dong Chuan explained: "Team Chen got all the videos captured by the reporter that night, so no matter how much the reporter struggles now, it's nothing to worry about."

"It's Chen Haoyu's father and stepmother who are more difficult to deal with. Whether it's visiting the neighbors or investigating the couple, there is no evidence that can directly convict them."

"Moreover, Chen Haoyu's attitude has also changed now. He seems unwilling to take the legal route, so Lao Chen is relatively passive now."

Song He frowned and said, "It's probably because Chen Haoyu's father said something to him, which made his attitude shake."

Dong Chuan nodded, and said helplessly: "We also analyzed it in this way. Now that the reporter has exposed the matter, many people have begun to pay attention to this matter."

"However, once Chen Haoyu's attitude repeats, it will be difficult to continue the matter. At that time, Lao Chen will be in a dilemma."

Song He calculated: "I have read the news. Chen Haoyu's face is mosaic. This should be Team Chen's request to the news media because he is worried about the impact on Chen Haoyu's life."

"However, in the news, the reporter made a lot of inductive guesses. And judging by the personalities of these two reporters, they should not easily let go of the news about Chen Haoyu."

"So they will definitely wait for the opportunity to keep an eye on their home. I'm afraid those neighbors have been secretly interviewed. This caused Chen Haoyu's parents to be alert and restrained."

Gu Li was a little worried: "No matter what the reason is, if Chen Haoyu's parents escape punishment this time, they will definitely do it again in the future."

"I know." Song He thought for a moment and said, "Can you talk to Captain Chen and let me meet Chen Haoyu?"

Hearing this, Dong Chuan smiled and glanced at Gu Li, who raised an eyebrow at Song He and said, "Team Chen said he also wanted to see you, and asked me to find a way to do your work, but I didn't expect you to come to my door."

As he spoke, Gu Li took out his mobile phone and dialed Team Chen's number, and after a while, he confirmed the time.

In the afternoon, Song He saw Chen Haoyu in Team Chen's office, who was in a much better mental state. At the same time, he also noticed something strange about Chen Haoyu.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Song He understood instantly: "Haoyu, you come here every day, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Haoyu sat facing Song He with a little timidity, and nodded slightly.

Song He smiled and said: "You can think of this idea to warn your father, which is considered smart, but are you going to keep doing this?"

Chen Haoyu thought for a while, and said in a daze, "My dad said he would never beat me again."

Song He asked, "Then why do you still come here every day?"

"I..." Chen Haoyu hesitated.

Song He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, you also know that he is perfunctory with you, right?"

Chen Haoyu lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"I can probably guess what your father said to you." Song He patted Chen Haoyu on the shoulder, met his eyes and said, "Well, you authorize Officer Chen to handle this matter."

"How about we make sure that your father won't beat you again, and we won't take him to jail?"

Chen Haoyu smiled when he heard the words. In fact, he wanted Song He to come up with an idea. Now that Song He had guessed everything and made a promise, he readily agreed.

Seeing this, Song He chatted with him for a while, asked him to go through the relevant procedures, and then let him go.

Team Chen felt relieved: "Now we can continue to investigate the matter, otherwise it will be really difficult."

Song He thought for a moment and said, "Captain Chen, didn't Chen Haoyu's neighbors say anything?"

Team Chen sighed: "No, when we went to visit, they all said they didn't hear anything, but the building where Chen Haoyu lives, the sound insulation between the apartments is not good, if there is any movement, they will definitely hear it."

"Then they can only lie." Song He frowned and asked, "Where are Chen Haoyu's parents?"

Team Chen said: "His father is a worker and often works overtime in the factory. His stepmother is often at home, but she is a bit harsh and mean, and her personality is not particularly good. I guess the neighbors are also concerned about this and don't want to cause trouble."

Song He nodded and said thoughtfully: "Can I go and find out the situation?"

Team Chen nodded: "Of course, but those two reporters are always wandering around from time to time. I think they might want to take a video of Chen Haoyu being beaten."

Song He thought about it: "Captain Chen, please arrange a fake identity for me to go in and look around. It would be best to see his neighbors."

Captain Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask the gas company to cooperate with us tomorrow."

Song He nodded, and left the police station after discussing specific matters.

The next day, Song He came to the community where Chen Haoyu lived, pretending to be an employee of the gas company, and conducted an investigation.

Since Chen Haoyu's neighbors received a call from the gas company in the morning, they were not suspicious of Song He's arrival, and they were very cooperative in assisting Song He to complete the inspection of the gas pipeline.

However, once Song He mentioned Chen Haoyu's family, these neighbors changed the subject with disgust and fear on their faces.

But even though these people were so "uncooperative", Song He still found out from the clues that Chen Haoyu's parents could make all the neighbors hate them, which shows that they usually behave badly.

As a result, Song He made up his mind to get Chen Hongyu out of their influence.

Soon, Song He came to the door of the resident next door to Chen Haoyu's house, and knocked on the door casually, with an authentic Xiucheng accent: "Hello, from the gas company, check the gas pipeline."

As soon as the voice fell, footsteps came from the door, and then the door opened a gap, and an ordinary-looking young man leaned out, frowning and squinting at Song He.

Song He smiled, but was taken aback immediately, because the man was wearing a simple and elegant Hanfu.

The man didn't seem to notice Song He's scrutiny. He opened the door and let Song He in. When he closed the door, he suddenly asked in doubt: "The inspection cycle of the gas pipeline is wrong. Is there any special reason?"

Song He was surprised. After all, he visited so many neighbors, and it was the first time he met someone who could pay attention to such details.

While curious, Song He said apologetically: "I don't know, we were asked to check all of a sudden, and said that we must check carefully door by door. Didn't you ask on the phone?"

The man still frowned, but his voice was lower: "I asked, but they didn't say anything about the reason, they just said it was a random check."

Song He shrugged, and walked towards the kitchen while carefully observing the interior layout: "It's fine to do a spot check, it's safe."

As he spoke, he began to pretend to check the gas pipeline, while the man in Hanfu returned to the bedroom, and reappeared in the kitchen a moment later.

"You're a police officer, right?"

The voice of a man in Hanfu suddenly came from behind Song He, causing him to pause when he was acting, turned around curiously, and looked carefully.

The man in Hanfu was looking at him warily, with a pair of delicate glasses on the bridge of his nose that was empty just now.

And it was this pair of glasses that changed his temperament drastically!

If we say that the frowning and squinting Hanfu man exudes a shy and timid atmosphere, now he has stretched his brows and eyes, his back is straight, and he has changed imperceptibly, and his whole person is taller and calmer.
