Upon hearing that the child outside was one of the missing children, Lord Lin immediately brought the person in for a thorough interrogation.
The limping old woman recounted the events with a face full of worry.
It turned out she was trying to leave the city to visit relatives when she coincidentally came across a freight carriage that had fallen off a cliff, with the child and a woman among those involved.
"Sir, when I found this boy, he had already stopped breathing. His body was covered with injuries from the fall. There was also a woman with him, who is now recuperating at my resting place. I came out from Jinsha Village, so I recognized this boy as the son of Mrs. Wang from Jinsha Village, and came here to report to the government."
After speaking, she also provided the location where the carriage fell off the cliff in detail: "If my memory serves me right, that carriage belongs to Miss Ruan's shipping line."
