Captain Liu examined the clothes piece by piece, not noticing the man beside him paler and paler.
Ye Hao was startled there, the tears lurking in his eyes bursting out. He bit his white lip tightly without saying anything for a long time.
Suddenly, he stepped back a little and fell back down as if his body had lost its center.
The police officer beside him hurried forward to hold him.
“Mr. Ye…” The police officer called nervously, fearing that he might pass out like this.
This was what family members normally reacted after seeing the dead body and remains of the lost or the deceased one.
Ye Hao suddenly closed his eyes, his lips trembling. After quite a while, he then asked in a sorrowful and hoarse voice.
“Tell me the details. Where did you find it? Tell me where she is? Where now?”
He kept asking where she was, fear and horror filling his heart full.
Captain Liu shook his head, appearing somewhat helpless.
“This piece of clothing was found by a fisherman yesterday morning. The place is on the muddy beach at the mouth of the sea in Linhai district, Haichuan county. According to the fisherman, he was then looking for crabs on the beach and then found these clothes. He thought as first that someone had lost it. Wanting to see whether there was any precious jewel in it, he reached into the pocket, where he found this purse. Then, he called the police.”
Captain Liu reported in great detail, which were records from the police of Haichuan county.
He paused for a while and continued.
“As for your question about where your ex-wife is. We are trying our best to look for clues. We are also in cooperation with the police in Yuenan and ask them to do their best to help investigate this case. The last place of her disappearance should be around Linhai district, Haichuan county. We have published reward notice there.”
Captain Liu did not say much for he could feel that this man could no longer bear more pressure now.

Haichuan county was a small coastal county with a population of about several hundred thousand, most of which were minorities. Most of the young people here had gone out to work. Even in the downtown area, there were not many people, only dozens of thousand permanent residents. This county was just like a small town.
In the county, many notices about seeking missing people had been posted on the bulletin boards and even on the wire poles. The headline was very attractive:
Have You Seen Her? —- Tens of million yuan will be awarded to clues provided.
At this time, several local inhabitants were gathering around one bulletin board and looking at the notice, the content of which was:
The woman in the photo was named He Xiyan, who went missing in Ye City at 11:53 p.m. on March 16th. She was then wearing a loose black coat, dark gray jeans, short boots together with a pair of gray leather gloves. She also brought a silver pull-rod suitcase. Now according to police’s preliminary evidence, He Xiyan probably had shown up in Haichuan county in one to two days after she left Ye City.
He Xiyan was 26 years old, 162 centimeters tall, weighing 45 kilograms, thin. She used to be a permanent resident in Ye City, now missing for two months. Her family members were quite worried. If anyone had any clues, please call the police at: XXXX or call her family members at: XXXX. The family members promised that once provided with valuable clues, they would reward ten million yuan.
“Wow…”
Seeing the last sentence, many citizens around for fun bared a look of surprise. Just to find a missing person, they should reward tens of million yuan.
