"Did the police investigate that possibility?"
Zhao Luzheng asked.
"They did."
Zhang Bo nodded.
"The police investigated that possibility."
After all, the child had suddenly disappeared, and no one had called her parents to demand ransom.
That made being taken by human traffickers the most likely possibility.

"Then finding her..."
Zhang Bo sighed.
