Chương 184: Rope Swing.

Master Zhu, or Lan Shi, as she presented herself to the woman whose child had been kidnapped, sat at the dining table of the small townhouse. The woman rushed back and forth as she frantically tried to prepare tea for the two of them.

"It's alright. You don't need to prepare tea. We can just talk." Lan Shi said, pulling out a notebook and writing utensils so she could make notes of the conversation.

"Nonsense. It's only right that I make us some tea, Madam Lan." The woman said as she brought two cups and a teapot after a bit more fumbling. 

The woman fell into a chair opposite Master Zhu and folded her arms nervously as she saw the notebook. 

"I'm just going to make some notes for my investigation." Lan Shi said as she got right into it. "Can you first tell me when your son was kidnapped?" 

"Three Thursdays ago." The woman said.
