Early in the morning, when Qin Man woke up, her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all exploding. The whole room was filled with the smell of hormones that had been fermented all night. When she turned over, there was an opened small raincoat bag stuck next to her head.
In the hair.
She had no idea how she fell asleep. She only vaguely remembered that it rained heavily in the middle of the night, as heavy as the rain in the house.
Now that the rain has stopped, the birds outside the window are chirping and flying by, and the sun is shining through the gaps in the curtains.
There was still nothing around him, and Jiang Lian seemed to have endless energy. For him, sleeping was just a matter of time.
Qin Man knew that he had the habit of doing morning exercises, so he turned over and stayed in bed for a while.
"ah……"
A heart-wrenching cry filled her ears, and the sound of footsteps running in the corridor made her completely lose her temper.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning. After washing and going out, she felt acutely that the atmosphere was not right.
Everyone gathered in the hall, nodding and hugging their chests. No one interrupted at will to make fun of her.
Yang Yuhe was interrogating the boss couple. Jiang Lian, who had not had time to change into his sweaty sportswear, sat aside with a bottle of water and listened, with a serious look on his face.
The little boy was held in his mother's arms, holding a tissue to wipe his mother's tears.
She walked over and overheard a few conversations.
"Leilei has been very obedient since he was a child. He seldom worries us as a couple. He doesn't need to pay too close attention to his studies. He is a very conscious child. Sometimes when his father and I are too busy, he will help.
"
"After he reached the third year of high school, we didn't let him do anything and focused on his studies. Their teachers were also very serious and responsible. They gave the children free tutoring no matter if it was holidays or weekends, so we let him go.
"The teacher said that with his grades, there is no problem in taking two books. He can also try to get one. Now it seems that the college entrance examination is about to take place. Why did something happen..."
Jiang Lian saw Qin Man coming and greeted everyone present, "Excuse me."
Then he took her back to the room to change clothes.
Qin Man: "What happened?"
Jiang Lian: "Xiao Yunlei, their eldest son, is missing. He didn't come home last night. His cell phone was turned off and he has been out of contact to this day."
Qin Man: "Did you report the crime?"
Jiang Lian nodded.
"I reported it. Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't sleep a wink all night. They originally planned to wait until dawn to go to the teacher's house to check on me. I asked them to report the case first. However, missing persons are special. Generally, a case will only be considered after 48 hours of disappearance.
At this point in time, the police will only understand the situation and will not intervene in the investigation."
He closed the door and said while changing clothes.
"According to the description of the proprietress, Xiao Yunlei left the resort at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went to the teacher's house with his classmates to take tutoring classes. At 8 o'clock in the evening, he took the initiative to make a phone call and told him to have dinner at the teacher's house and go home later. As a result,
, Xiao Yunlei did not show up the next night."
"Last night at 12:40, it started to rain in the mountains. Xiao's mother couldn't help but call Xiao Yunlei. By that time, her phone had been turned off and she lost contact. She went to ask the teacher again, and the teacher said that classes would end at 9:30 p.m. and all students would
Go home."
Qin Man: "A senior high school student is in adolescence and is under great pressure to study. Will he have conflicts with his parents or get angry with his classmates and teachers? If he does something special to gain attention, he may not necessarily go there.
Think bad things.”
Jiang Lian changed his clothes.
"The speculations of us outsiders are groundless. No one knows the child better than the mother. Xiao's mother said that Xiao Yunlei is a very sensible child. He also has a good relationship with his parents and will not always have conflicts like those rebellious children.
. He never had any quarrel with his parents before going out, and his teachers and classmates also denied it. In short, he will not not go home without any reason. Even if something really happens, he will definitely call home as soon as possible. "
"Just think about it, he would call home to report something as trivial as eating at the teacher's house. There is no reason why he would suddenly change his attitude and become so rebellious that he would not go home all night."
Jiang Lian's face had not relaxed since just now. Although he didn't say it, he had already concluded in his heart that something had probably happened to Xiao Yunlei.
It would be fine if it was just a random guess on his part, but as a criminal investigation captain, his intuition is usually very accurate.
He grabbed some necessary items for mountaineering and packed them into his bag, then put the pistol and handcuffs on his waist and covered them with a loose casual sports coat.
"Through the Xiao family, we have initially learned about some of the places where Xiao Yunlei often goes, so our plan today is to walk around and see if we can find anyone."
Qin Man didn't expose him, it was just an excuse to leave, and his purpose was to find talents.
As soon as the door opened, the little boy who was only in second grade, Xiao Yunlei's younger brother, squatted at the door of their room with a drawing book. He did not interrupt rashly and waited patiently for them to come out.
Qin Man stepped forward and touched the child's head, "Kid, what's your name?"
"Xiao Yunyang."
The innocent voice of the little boy didn't seem to understand what was happening.
"Mom said, my brother is missing, can you help us find him?"
Qin Man smiled.
"Yes, we will find your brother. Little Yunyang can't run around, you know, your parents will be worried."
Xiao Yunyang: "I know, I won't run around. I came here to tell you that they came last night."
Qin Man was confused, "Them?"
Xiao Yunyang opened the drawing book in his hand and pointed at the simple drawing.
"That's them."
It's still the same group of pretenders dancing around the campfire.
"They lit a fire again, the same fire as in this book, I saw it."
Qin Man took the little book, stood up and looked at Jiang Lian. She didn't take it seriously yesterday, but now it seems that everything this kid said is true.
Could it be related to Xiao Yunlei's disappearance?
Jiang Lian stepped forward and took a rough look at the picture book.
It mainly tells the story of a mysterious organization that disguises itself as ghosts and gods to kill people.
The bonfire ceremony is a way of preaching. On the one hand, it attracts more theists, and on the other hand, it is the so-called cleansing of dirty souls, controlling the believers, and stabilizing the status.
After reading, he returned the picture book to the little boy, "Can you tell me where you saw them?"
The little boy turned towards the window, holding on to the window frame to point him in the direction. However, he was not tall enough, so he had to climb up on tiptoes.
Jiang Lian picked him up, and the boy in his arms pointed toward the ravine in the southwest.
"There, there's a little speck of fire there, I've seen it several times."
Because it is far away, separated by two small hills, and covered with vegetation, it is impossible to see anything from here. Only a smattering of firelight can be seen in the dark night.
Qin Man and Jiang Lian looked at each other in tacit understanding. This is the place for today's outdoor activities. This chapter has been completed!
