"On that day, the shop owner happened to have something to do at home and was not open for business."

"So no one saw what happened in the alley at that time."

"And there were no other surveillance cameras installed in the alley."

"There are several other narrow alleys connecting to that alley, and there were no security cameras there at the time."

"Those mascot costumes were everywhere back then; a lot of people bought them."

"There are even some that are resold secondhand, or many that were thrown away, and we don't know who picked them up."

"Anyway, when we got to this point, we couldn't investigate any further; the trail went completely cold."

"Without conclusive evidence, the police could only suspect that the person in the mascot costume had abducted you, who had followed them into the alley."

"The police saw that we suspected this matter and wanted to investigate it, so they talked to us about it."

"The reason your grandfather was able to find you is because technology has advanced significantly now."

"DNA databases and cross-age facial recognition played a crucial role in your grandfather being able to find you."

"Of course, there's also the arrest of the person who abducted you and sold you to the countryside of Jiangcheng."

"That person said she had trafficked many people, and you were abducted by her in the capital."

"In addition, your grandfather has been looking for you. He not only looks for you himself, but also keeps asking the police if they have found you."

"Those who fight human trafficking will then compare your DNA with your grandfather's to confirm the diagnosis."

Gu Zhi knew that the person who sold her to the countryside in Jiangcheng had been caught.

She found out when her grandfather found her.

When her grandfather found her, he told her all of this.

However, her grandfather also told her at the time:

"That kidnapper is eighty years old and her memory isn't good. She only remembers that she kidnapped you in the capital, but she doesn't remember exactly where in the capital she kidnapped you."

"Because she was so old and had no children, when the police traced her back to another person she had trafficked, she confessed everything she could remember."

As soon as Gu Zhi thought of these words, she immediately told Lu Yanshen what they had said.

The call was still in progress, so Qin Yang heard everything.

Gu Zhi ignored whether Qin Yang had heard her and continued speaking slowly:

"Logically speaking, if Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin conspired to make me get lost and be abducted, it would be a different story."

"Even if the kidnapper has a bad memory now, it's impossible for her not to remember that she was bribed to kidnap me."

"On the contrary, I remember that I was abducted in Beijing."

"But she never mentioned this at all. Either she completely forgot, which is ridiculous."

"Either she wasn't bribed at all, or the person dressed as a mascot wasn't her at all."

"I just happened to be tricked by her at the end; there were other things going on in between."

"If she remembers that she abducted me in that alley, there might not have been anything else in between."

"But she only remembers that I was abducted in the capital, but she doesn't remember exactly where in the capital she was abducted."

"Isn't that possible?"

"Right?"

Lu Yanshen nodded.

After a long pause, Lu Yanshen suddenly frowned deeply and said:

"Since they conspired to make you get lost, wouldn't the person dressed as a mascot possibly be Shen Lifeng?"

"Qin Yang just said that you were very happy to follow that person in the mascot costume."

"It's clear you weren't forced at all."

"Is it possible that you recognized Shen Lifeng back then?"

Gu Zhi was suddenly taken aback.

Yes.

She was so young then; in her eyes, Shen Lifeng was still her father.

She recognized her father.

Happily following her father.

She thought her dad was playing with her.

Of course it's possible.

Qin Yang was also taken aback, realizing it was quite possible.

Lu Yanshen's eyes turned cold after he finished speaking.

That person in the mascot costume really is Shen Lifeng.

Shen Lifeng is being far too blatant!

As Qin Yang just mentioned, the person in the mascot costume walked right past Gu Zhi's mother.

Just then, Qin Yang remembered something and quickly added:

"We also got a copy of all the surveillance footage from that case from the police, and I'll send it to you right now!"

Qin Yang hurriedly used the computer in front of him to send the copied surveillance videos to their president and his wife.

He was still holding the phone to his ear when he spoke:

"Madam, I heard that your grandfather and your mother also made a copy of this video."

I've heard my grandfather mention Gu Zhi before.

Grandpa said that her mother always watched the mall's surveillance footage from that time and always cried, saying that it was her fault.

Gu Zhi and Lu Yanshen watched the surveillance video together after receiving it.

First, let's look at the mall's surveillance footage from that time.

In the video, the person in the mascot costume certainly doesn't look like the kidnapper who has already been caught.

The trafficker who has been caught is already eighty years old; he was sixty at the time.

At sixty years old, wearing a heavy mascot costume, it's impossible for her to walk so lightly.

Judging from the height of the mascot costume, the person inside must be quite tall.

It really does look like Shen Lifeng is inside.

People dressed as mascots did not look straight ahead when passing through the children's area; they walked straight past.

He turned his head to look at the children's area and even touched the head of a doll for several seconds.

Because the person was facing away from the surveillance camera, this was the only way to see them.

But the mascot costume has a big mouth on its head, which is where the person inside breathes and can see everything outside.

When supporting the doll's head, you can open its big mouth even wider so that people can see the face inside.

At the time, in the children's area, there was a tiny Gu Zhi who was only two years old.

He was clearly very interested when the doll appeared.

They have stopped playing with the toys at hand.

Round eyes, sparkling as they gazed at the doll.

It was when the doll turned its head and touched its big head that little Gu Zhi seemed even happier.

Their eyes are brighter now.

The little body, which was squatting, was already starting to look like it was about to stand up.

She only stood up and ran after the person in the mascot costume after seeing them walk past.

I was especially happy to pursue it.

follow behind.

Gu Zhi and Lu Yanshen were even more convinced that the person in the mascot costume was Shen Lifeng.

Let's look at the next surveillance video, which is the one outside the shopping mall.

The footage clearly shows little Gu Zhi happily swaying and chasing after the person in the mascot costume.

I crossed the road and then went into that alley.

Throughout the entire video, the person dressed as a mascot never turned their head and went straight into the alley.

After watching all the videos, Gu Zhi said:

"Regardless of whether the doll is actually Shen Lifeng or not, we can be completely certain that my disappearance back then was not as simple as it seems."

"The security cameras in that alley were smashed that day, and the owner happened to have something to do at home and wasn't open for business, so there's a high chance something's wrong."
