Chapter 26: Tan Jiao 05 (2)
After ending the call, I felt like a rather clear train of thought had appeared in my mind. First, I searched online about the abduction cases, but it was of little avail. For one, there were very few news articles about it. Even if there were, their descriptions were brief. Meanwhile, the online blogs were flushed with comments. Even though they contained some information, their validity was uncertain. After some thinking, I decided I would give Shen Shiyan a call.
Unfortunately, I found out that I had deleted his phone number already. Luckily, I was smart and searched, through my old messages to find his number in a message that the matchmaker sent me.
Knowing now that we had not seen each other for a year, I suddenly realized how similar he looked compared to before. He seems to be the type of person to keep his number.
It connected after three rings, but Shen Shiyan only spoke after a few seconds of silence, “Tan Jiao, what’s up?”
I felt somewhat moved, realizing that he still had my number saved.
“Detective Shen, I have something to discuss with you.”
With a calm voice, he asked, “What is it?”
“It’s like this, let me explain. Since the events last night occurred so abruptly, I felt that I haven’t provided valuable information in the statement I gave, and I may have left out some things from my short-term memory. After all, I was frightened out of my wits and may have overlooked some details. After some thinking, I felt that my contribution could be greater if I had some related information to help with my memory.”
He fell silent briefly before saying, “I’m not following.”
