Director Xu presided over the situation here, and after verifying the identities of these reported missing deceased, naturally notified their families.
Facing the families’ furious and desperate emotions, the police could understand.
It was just that the crowd was too large and somewhat out of control at the moment.
Xun Tianhai looked at the chaotic scene before him, and spoke in a low voice to Jiangli and Fu Shiyan, "Abbot, Director Fu, please wait here for a moment."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he struggled to squeeze through the crowd.
"Make way, police investigation, make way— "
Before Xun Tianhai could finish, hearing that it was a police investigation, a relative immediately grabbed him, not letting him go.
Seeing Xun Tianhai surrounded, Jiangli grinned, pulling Fu Shiyan and Xia Xin quietly away to the side.
Xun Tianhai hadn’t expected to end up , and before he could react, he was overwhelmed by the crowd’s clamor.
"You’re a cop? Then tell me, how did my daughter die?"
"Yes, tell me, how did my daughter die, who killed her?"
Xun Tianhai was a bit stunned.
"Well, everyone calm down, let’s cool down first! We will arrange for you to identify the bodies soon; is it alright to first confirm them? Besides, we police have procedures to follow in our investigations. Don’t worry, we’ll take it one at a time and will try to answer your questions!"
Director Xu, seeing Xun Tianhai heavily surrounded, squeezed over and rescued him from the crowd.
Before the crowd could ask further questions, Director Xu preempted them, "Right, is there any family member of Liao Qianqian here? Liao Qianqian’s family, come over!"
With those words, the others quieted down.
A couple squeezed out from the crowd.
"We, we are Liao Qianqian’s parents!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Liao Qianqian is my daughter!"
The two people didn’t look young, appearing to be around fifty or so, but their hair had already turned somewhat white.
The woman’s face was haggard, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and she could only walk forward with people’s support.
Jiangli glanced at them, and Liao Qianqian, who was kept in the Soul Nurturing Talisman, became agitated.
Feeling Liao Qianqian’s reaction, Jiangli understood that these two people were indeed her parents.
She stretched out her hand, took out the Soul Nurturing Talisman, and Liao Qianqian’s figure appeared beside Jiangli.
She instinctively wanted to rush towards her parents.
Jiangli grabbed her and said in a low voice, "There are too many people now, and they can’t see you; it’s not appropriate for you to rush over now. Once the police take them away separately, I’ll find a way to arrange a meeting for you."
Liao Qianqian looked at Jiangli urgently.
Jiangli said solemnly, "You know, I never deceive."
Liao Qianqian choked, turned her head to look in the direction of her parents.
They were so close at hand.
Yet, eternally separated by heaven and earth, they were as far away as the distant horizon.
She stifled a sob and nodded slowly, "I understand..."
Jiangli patted her shoulder comfortingly, and asked her to wait by her side.
At this moment, apart from listening to Jiangli, Liao Qianqian had no other choice.
Just as Jiangli had said, even if she threw herself at them now, it would be useless; her parents simply couldn’t see her.
She wanted to see her parents again, and only Jiangli could arrange for that.
Director Xu and Xun Tianhai were negotiating with Liao Qianqian’s parents to take them to identify the body first.
After all, Liao Qianqian’s body was the first one they had discovered.
Upon hearing that they were going to identify the body, Liao Qianqian’s parents nearly fainted and were almost carried to the morgue by the police.
Jiangli, seeing this, waved at Xun Tianhai.
Xun Tianhai paused, said something softly to the police beside him.
The junior officer immediately pushed through the crowd and came in front of Jiangli and Fu Shiyan, saying, "Chief Xun asked me to take you upstairs first."
Jiangli smiled amiably, "Thank you for the trouble."
