Bold words are the clues the game highlights.
Boss Gu's eatery opens daily at 06:00. An hour before opening, the family has breakfast on the first floor.
After breakfast, Boss Gu's son was still very tired, so he went back to the second-floor bedroom to continue sleeping under Mrs. Gu's guidance.
An hour after the eatery opened, Madam Gu discovered her son was missing. She and Mr. Gu searched for an hour in vain and had to seek help from the city guards.
The Gu couple and the city guards searched the area from the city gate to the Dock thoroughly, but still couldn't find their youngest child.
It's only a two-quarter hour walk from the city gate to the dock, and the Gu Family Eatery is conveniently located in the center.
Madam Gu said her youngest son, Dongbao, is well-behaved and won't wander off on his own.
Many regular customers know that Dongbao is very fond of this wooden bowl and spoon set, always using them at every meal.
Niu Banjin was entrusted by Madam Gu to keep an eye on the main gate, but he didn't notice anyone leaving.
This area sees a lot of foot traffic, and with Niu Banjin's thriving business, he didn't spot the suspicious figures.
Constable Sun and the city guards found nothing unusual among the pedestrians passing through the city gate.
To ensure efficient passage, the city guards usually do not conduct particularly thorough inspections.
After Boss Gu sought help from the city guards, Constable Sun promptly issued orders to seal off the city gates and the dock.
Constable Sun had someone investigate the well in the back alley of the eatery and confirmed that Dongbao did not accidentally fall into it.
Some city guards accepted bribes from merchants and did not thoroughly inspect their goods.
Constable Lan and his two subordinates carefully checked every person leaving the city by boat, concluding that Dongbao could not have been smuggled out via the dock.
Fan Sitong was spotted twice in the dock area, once at 05:45, observing from afar, and once near 07:00, inquiring Constable Lan about contraband.
Fan Sitong asserted that Dongbao was abducted by human traffickers, and when mentioning them, he appeared particularly agitated.
Fan Sitong personally witnessed someone entering the city bribing the city guards to avoid being checked. The bamboo basket they carried could easily hide a six-year-old child.
Fan Sitong claims he can't afford the inn fees, so he has to rest in the alley and is stuck here due to the temporary lockdown.
Fan Sitong is a regular at the Gu family Eatery, known for his generous spending.
Fan Sitong dined at the Gu Family Eatery around 06:00. After eating, he claimed to go to the restroom and was absent for 30 minutes to an hour, during which he left his goods at the store.
Fan Sitong claimed to go to the restroom when he temporarily left the eatery, but in fact, he went to the Dock.
