Director Tian found an unused office for An Zixi at the police station. There were tables, chairs, and some sundries in it. Although there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the room, the desktop and floor were very clean.

It was obvious that someone had cleaned it.

All the information An Zixi asked for was placed on the table, stacked up to a foot high.

"These are all the cases on the day Chai disappeared. There are more than ten cases, large and small, as well as all the case information from a few days before the incident and about half a month after the incident." Director Tian looked at the time seriously, "

Start timing now, I hope you can find something."

"Thank you Tiansuo." An Zixi didn't say anything nonsense, just pulled out his chair, sat at the table and started reading the information.

Director Tian walked out silently and closed the door.

"Director, do you really want her to watch inside?"

"Nonsense." The files have been sent in, why don't they let others see them?

There is still a meeting to be held in Tiansuo, so he takes the first step. However, he is still a person in the office. He must pay attention to the movements over Anzixi. If she needs anything, he must fully cooperate.

"Yes!" the young police officer responded, then moved a chair and sat at the door. His task today is to serve the aunt inside, regardless of whether she is thirsty, hungry, or wants to ask

Whatever problems you have, you have to take care of them yourself.

The young police officer shook his head, feeling more and more that Tadokoro's actions... He couldn't quite understand. Do they really expect a high school student to help them solve the case?

An Zixi looked at the information in her hand carefully. She first found the original file of Chai Liting and planned to read it first. Although she had seen the copy that Mr. Qu gave her before, the original was more accurate and more intuitive.

After reading for about half an hour, An Zixi found nothing suspicious, so he put the original file of Chai Liting aside and picked up other materials to read.

For three whole hours, An Zixi sat on a chair, flipping through information, without even taking a sip of water.

The young police officer who has been waiting in the corridor for dispatch thinks she is very powerful. There are so many files and files, and he usually feels dizzy after reading a few pages!

But An Zixi actually watched it for three whole hours without even raising her head. Wouldn't she be tired?

An Zixi took notes while reading. He wrote down any questions he had in his notebook.

In fact, she doesn't have to write it down. She has a strong memory and a very reliable brain, but in order to make it easier for others to grasp her doubts, she still chooses to write them down.

Soon, five hours passed and it was almost dark. An Zixi stood up and started moving around in the room. She was very pressed for time and had to make the most of every minute and every second.

The young police officer who had been sitting in the corridor finally heard the sound of moving inside the house. He stood at the door and took a look and saw An Zixi stretching his muscles.

The young police officer knocked politely.

An Zixi turned his head and said, "Please come in."

The young police officer opened the door and came in and asked, "Um, are you hungry? Our unit has a canteen. I can help you bring some food."

An Zixi was flattered, "This... is too troublesome!" People who work hard mentally consume energy quickly, and she was indeed a little hungry.

"It's okay. I told you when I left. Let me wait for you here. If you need anything, just ask."

"Well, thank you!" An Zixi smiled, "I'm not picky about food, I'll eat anything. Oh, yes, I'll give you the money."

The young police officer was dazzled by her smile, his face turned red, and he waved his hand quickly, "Um, no need, I'll go get some food first..." After saying that, he turned around and ran away, as if he was running away.

An Zixi shook his head and laughed, stood at the window and looked outside, then sat back at the table and continued to read the information.

Soon, the young police officer came back. He put the aluminum lunch box on the table and poured An Zixi a glass of water.

An Zixi thanked him, but still stared at the file.

She discovered the problem.

Before Chai Liting's accident, a forced crime occurred in Houyuxiang. The victim was a 20-year-old newlywed girl. She and her fellow villagers went to the county to visit her husband, who worked at a hydraulic parts factory. When they returned, they were a little late and took the last train.

Arriving at Houyu Township, the arrival time is about 6:40 pm.

The two people parted ways and went home.

On the way home, the victim had to pass through a cornfield. After being knocked unconscious, the victim was dragged directly into the cornfield by the murderer...

After the victim woke up, she took a shower immediately because she didn't understand the law. As a result, when she reported the crime later, no useful evidence was found.

What's even more frightening is that the murderer obviously did something wrong, but the victim finally committed suicide because he couldn't bear the rumors outside.

The murderer has not been caught yet...

About a week after the disappearance of Chai Liting, there was another case of a missing woman. The missing person was Lu Yumei, a resident of the town. She was about forty years old. She ran away from home because of a conflict with her husband, and there was no news for a year.

The family searched for it for more than half a year, and then slowly gave up.

These three cases may seem unrelated on the surface, but they are actually related.

First of all, the missing persons or victims are all women. Although the age range is quite large, there is really one thing in common between them.

It was raining lightly when the incident occurred!

Not heavy rain, not thunderstorm, just light rain.

It is very likely that the specific weather like light rain will stimulate a certain nerve in the criminal's heart, causing him to be stimulated and commit crimes.

When An Zixi thought of this, he drew a big question mark on his notebook!

Assuming that Chai Liting was not abducted by traffickers but was murdered, is it possible that the person who murdered her was the same person as the Hou Yuxiang forced case and Lu Yumei's disappearance case?

Secondly, Chai Liting and Hou Yuxiang’s victim both have a relatively prominent facial feature - dimples.

Chai Liting's dimples are shallow and long, while the other victim's dimples are larger.

Is this also a coincidence?

Unfortunately, there is no photo of another missing person, Lu Yumei, in the police station file. She needs to confirm whether Lu Yumei also has a pair of dimples.

If there is, then the scope of the suspect's murder can be locked.

She can even use these two characteristics to lure the snake out of its hole.

but……

She still needs to make sure of two things!

An Zixi packed up all the information on the table, stood up and walked towards the door.

The young police officer was returning from lunch. When he opened the door, he almost ran into An Zixi.

"Where are you going! I just brought back the food!"

"I'm not going to eat..." An Zixi was about to leave and asked him to thank Director Tian on his behalf. Suddenly he remembered that he still had two doubts, so he changed his words and said, "I have something to ask you."

"You tell me." The young police officer pointed to the house, "Or let's talk in the house!"

That’s okay too!

The two people entered the house.

"Well, I see you are quite young. I wonder when you came to our institute?"

The young man blushed, "Well, why do you ask this?"

"No, I mainly want to ask, do you know about Lu Yumei's case?" An Zixi pulled out the file and handed it to him.

"I know, I know." The young man nodded, knowing that he had misunderstood, and quickly corrected his attitude. He put the lunch box on the table, took the file and said: "This case also happened last year, and it happened before and after Chai Liting's case.

, I’m impressed.”

As soon as An Zixi heard that he knew about it, he immediately became interested, "Well, I saw it said that the person disappeared for half a year before reporting the case. Why!"

"Hey, when I talk about this, I'm really angry! This Lu Yumei usually gets angry at her husband's house. Her lover beats her after drinking. As time goes by, no matter how good the relationship is, it can't withstand such hardships! Every time

After she was beaten, she would run away and come back after two or three days! She would run again next time after being beaten! The neighbors near her home were already used to the sounds of howling wolves and ghosts being beaten and scolded in their homes! It was only last year that something happened to her.

At that time, everyone thought that she had gone away for a few days as before and would come back in a few days. As a result, she never came back and her family could not contact her, so they said that Lu Yumei was murdered by her husband and his family.

, that’s why I came to report the crime.”

That’s what happened.

"Why are there no photos in the archives?"

"Lu Yumei's life is miserable. Her parents' family values ​​boys over girls and hasn't taken any photos of her. It seems that she had a few group photos when she was a child, but they were unwilling to take them. Her husband's family doesn't pay much attention to her, saying they don't have any photos.

.No one inquired about what happened next, and it seemed like they didn’t care about her life or death.”

have to……

An Zixi pointed to the address on the file and asked, "Does their family still live here?"

"It should still be there!" It's only been half a year, so he probably won't be moving.

An Zixi said quickly: "Thank you, then I'll go over and take a look first."

"Hey, Miss An, do you need me to accompany you there?"

"No. Oh, by the way, you have to keep these documents and hand them over to Tiansuo in person. Also, thank him for me."

The young police officer said quickly: "No problem, but do you want to go over after you finish your meal? I've called you for the meal. And it's already dark outside, so why don't you go at another time? If that doesn't work, I'll call you tomorrow.

Will I go with you?"

"No, I'm familiar with this place! Thank you!" An Zixi was eager to verify his inference, hurriedly left the police station and looked for Lu Yumei's home address.

At 8:30 in the evening, the town is extremely quiet. In an era when televisions were not widely available, people's entertainment life was relatively scarce. Except for those who played poker and chess under the street lights at the door, people who had worked hard for a day had basically entered the city at this time.

into dreamland.

It was really difficult to find it in the dark, but An Zixi successfully found Lu Yumei's home based on the address on the file.

The gate was tightly closed, and there was no sound at all around the yard. It was pitch black all around, not even a street light!

An Zixi thought for a moment, squatted in the corner, carefully scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that it was safe, stepped into the space.

She went straight back to her bedroom, planning to have a good sleep and inquire about Lu Yumei tomorrow morning.

A night without words!

Early the next morning, An Zixi took a lazy nap in the space. It was estimated that it was almost time, so he got up to wash up, ate a box of a certain brand of self-heating pot, and tidied up after himself before leaving the space.

.

Carrying a small satchel, she wandered around Lu Yumei's house and soon attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Everyone is on high alert. If she hadn't been a thin little girl, I'm afraid someone would have reported the crime.

"Little girl, what are you doing? I see you're unfamiliar. You've been hanging around here for a long time. What's the matter with you?" an aunt asked her with a wary look on her face.

An Zixi hurriedly said: "Auntie, I want to rent a house nearby! I haven't found a suitable one, why don't I come over here?"

"Why rent a house?" Although An Zixi spoke with a local accent, the aunt did not relax her vigilance.

"Isn't it time for me to go to junior high school in the town? My mother is worried about me and doesn't want me to live on campus. She wants to rent a house with me here. It just so happens that my sister is not young anymore and wants to learn tailoring in the town.

Craftsmanship, the three of us live together, and we have someone to take care of us in our daily lives!"

Little stars lit up in Auntie's eyes, as if she could smell the gossip.

Why did the three mothers go out to rent a house and abandon the old man at home? Maybe the old man is not serious and is doing poo at home so that his wife and children can catch him!

"Then what kind of rental do you want? You're a half-year-old kid and you don't understand. Why don't you let your mother come?"

An Zixi deliberately pretended to be innocent, "Auntie, I can make the decision on this matter. As long as the house is clean, it's best to have a private courtyard!" As she said this, she turned around to look for the target and pointed at Lu Yumei's house: "

I think the yard is nice and the size is suitable. I don’t know if anyone is living in it now or if it is rented out.”

"Oh, that's He Laoliu's family. They don't rent their house, so I can't live in it! But kid, if you want to go to school with peace of mind, I advise you to look elsewhere, don't stay here.

It’s not good to rent a house in a right place.”

An Zixi blinked his eyes, "What's wrong!? It's so close to the school!" The original owner went to junior high school here, so An Zixi is also very familiar with this place.

"As for He Laoliu's family, their family never rests for a day! Let me tell you, there is no peace!" The aunt was also too busy. She left everyone who worked and went to school in the family. She was so idle that she happened to meet her.

A person like An Zixi should not be nagging.

"What's wrong with you? Is it haunted?"

"Oh!" The aunt looked at her like she was a fool, "What's so haunted? It's in broad daylight. I mean, their family isn't very nice, they make trouble every day!"

The aunt acted like she had a grudge against this He Laoliu, she spoke with gnashing teeth!
Chapter completed!
