Chapter 401: Chapter 401: The Criminal Method of Disguising as a Child
“Big sis, are you scared out of your wits? We’re not adults!”
Qingwu said calmly, “Whether or not you’re adults, a quick examination will tell. Appearances can deceive, but bone age never lies.”
After meeting once before, Qingwu had already noticed something off about those children.
Spending some time with Yan Luan, a truly pure and adorable child, the stark contrast between her and those children was immediately apparent!
Their gazes always carried the weathered weariness of adulthood.
“I’ve studied several cases before. Patients with dwarfism and congenital skeletal underdevelopment, coupled with specific training, can fully disguise themselves as minors through their stature.”
“Domestically and abroad, there have been cases of dwarfism used to exploit sympathy, commit fraud, and even harm others. Physical differences between dwarfism patients and regular children are significant.”
A dwarfism patient’s head is roughly the same size as a typical adult’s, but with underdeveloped bodies, the disparity is hauntingly noticeable!
These children were no exception, all sharing the distinctive disproportionate ’big head, small body’ feature. A closer inspection of their faces reveals they are adults!
A quick medical examination will unravel the truth!
Ji Chunyan and Ji Qiurong were dumbfounded!
“Huh? So, they’re not real kids? They’ve been fooling us? We really thought they were genuine children!”
Ye Zhi pressed his jaw back into place.
He handed his phone to Qingwu, showing the recent investigative findings. “Boss, this guy claims to be Zhang Guoming’s son, but he’s actually his younger brother, Zhang Guoyu. He’s already in his thirties.”
Thirty?!
Zhang Guoyu remained unfazed.
“These are all just your guesses. If you don’t let us go, then forget about getting your hands on these fabrics!”
“These high-end fabrics aren’t meant to come into contact with water, right? If we urinate on them, the entire batch is finished!”
Fabric ruined by moisture would be totally compromised, let alone urine!
This was sheer wickedness!
Several adults with dwarfism, possessing childlike figures, wore expressions of sly malevolence, making one’s skin crawl!
Qingwu maintained her composure.
“These fabrics are extraordinarily costly. If you destroy them, you’ll spend the rest of your lives eating prison meals. Sounds like a fair trade.”
Zhang Guoyu shouted, “Even if we end up in prison, these fabrics will still be useless to you!”
Ji Qiurong interjected, “Oh, these fabrics were developed by us. They’re pricey, but we’ve got plenty in the warehouse—they’re not one-of-a-kind. More importantly, we control the pricing, so how expensive they are is entirely up to us.”
Given the unique batch of high-end fabrics, Ji Chunyan had them stored in an encrypted warehouse straight away!
The fabrics in this warehouse, while still high-end, weren’t one-of-a-kind.
Ji Chunyan nodded, “Go ahead and pee. The more you urinate, the longer your prison sentences will be. Free accommodations, meals included—it’s rather fitting.”
The adults with dwarfism were left utterly speechless!
Qingwu threw a glance at Zhang Guoyu.
“But everything you’ve done will eventually come to light. Thanks for reminding me about Zhang Guoming’s former girlfriends. Thinking you could masquerade as minors and escape murder charges was truly naïve.”
These people merely sought to leverage the identity of minors as a protective shield!
Qingwu’s heart chilled.
“Zhang Guoming used you lot to clean up loose ends—the women he couldn’t shake off and those demanding exorbitant breakup fees were quietly ’handled’ by you.”
“Because of your identity as Zhang Guoming’s ’son,’ those women lowered their guard around you.”
Many even believed that building a good relationship with Zhang Guoyu would make Zhang Guoming change his mind!
This method swindled quite a few!
“You’re slandering me!”
Zhang Guoyu panicked instantly!
How did Qingwu know about these things?!
They had always been so careful about covering their tracks!
“Whether or not it’s slander, there will be professionals to discuss this thoroughly with you.”
Being underage shouldn’t be a free pass!
Especially when they weren’t truly minors!
Zhang Guoyu’s body went limp, though he forced himself to stay calm. “If you knew all of this, why did you let us in here?”
If he couldn’t deduce that Qingwu had purposely brought them in, he’d truly be a fool!
It was clear Qingwu had investigated everything beforehand!
Qingwu said evenly, “To catch fish, it’s best to trap them in the jar first.”
Initially unsure of Zhang Guoyu’s intent, she now realized this wasn’t just one person—it was an experienced crime syndicate. Of course, an opportunity for a complete roundup was ideal.
The police arrived swiftly, saluting Qingwu!
“Thank you. We’ve been tracking this group for quite some time! The leads and evidence chain you provided were crucial!”
Ji Qiurong exclaimed, “Huh? The police already knew about them?”
Qingwu explained, “Beidou Star had collaborated with international police before. We have specialized communication channels. Once I suspected them, I alerted the cops.”
This allowed the authorities to arrive so quickly!
The officer responded solemnly, “This group has been on our radar for a long time. We’ve apprehended members before, but since their IDs claimed they were under 10 years old, we couldn’t convict them.”
Qingwu nodded in agreement.
“To blend in better, they do attend school like regular children, but their mental acuity vastly differs. Previously, these ’kids’ even conspired to kill another child.”
“The method was direct and brutal—beaten to death with shovels. The execution was crude yet ferocious.”
And because they were considered minors, charges couldn’t stick!
The police were profoundly moved!
“Finally, it’s clear they aren’t real minors!”
Stripping away the protective shield, these devils lurking among society would finally face the law’s judgment!
Their cruelty surpassed even the ruthless child operatives found near border zones!
Zhang Guoyu and his cronies were taken away, heads hanging low.
Po Jun sauntered in from outside.
“Boss, that guy just admitted his employer is an overseas businessman who merely covets Ye Yi’s brand value and is looking to acquire it.”
“Acquire? That’s outright robbery! Investigate him thoroughly—I’d like to know which gutsy individual dared pull a stunt like this.”
Scamming at the docks, and when that failed, resorting to brute force! Such audacity could make even King Goujian hesitate.
Po Jun whistled.
“Gotcha! Looks like we’ve got more work, brothers!”
…
In Beijing’s affluent district, Zhongchen Renaissance, Xu Family.
The Xu patriarch, with numerous children and over a dozen grandchildren, was surrounded by his offspring, all fawning and ingratiating themselves.
The butler hurriedly ran in from outside.
“Master, the Third Miss is back, and she’s brought along Shen Clan’s chairman!”
The Xu patriarch, if not paralyzed, nearly leapt from his wheelchair!
“What?! Shen Dongli? How old is he now? Isn’t he married? Could Xiaoxiao have managed to make them divorce?!”
