Chapter 1614 Abandoned Baby in Front of Car 4
Lu Jiang dispatched Han Ping and Liu Yan to entertain their guests, while keeping Director Liu behind. "You send someone to find out who was wandering around the car with a basket, then look into which family had a child and abandoned the baby here. Under normal circumstances, the home would be nearby, not far away, unless they intentionally came from a distance."
"Yes, I’ll send someone right away."
Director Liu was about to send someone to investigate when Feng Qingxue stopped him. "Check to see if it was intentional to place the baby under the car in hopes of it getting killed! That would be murder!"
Director Liu was taken aback and suddenly asked, "Leader, can you tell if it’s a girl?"
A large part of the town’s residents had come from rural areas, and as the director of the police station, Director Liu often dealt with the situation below, understanding the feudal mindset of valuing sons over daughters that led to many cases. No matter how the walls proclaimed "Women hold up half the sky," "Gender equality," or "Infanticide is murder," many people couldn’t change their preference for sons over daughters.
Han Ping once conducted a survey: One people’s commune had 127 infant deaths in a year, with 108 being female infants. Even though they were born around the same time, could female infants be inherently weaker than male infants? Clearly not.
So, the cause of death for 108 female infants became apparent.
Some parents always believed that since the child was theirs, they had the right to decide her life or death.
Faced with this situation, Director Liu was also powerless.
