In this world of demons and monsters, occasionally looking at green and ignorant young people is also a kind of spiritual cleansing.
But only Xia Jian was brought back. Bai Yue's heart sank, something might have happened to his grandmother.
"Master." Xu Feiyang came over and said, "I brought this child."
Jian Yu glanced down and said, "Where is his grandma?"
Xu Feiyang shook his head: "Not found."
"did not find?"
"Um."
This is very strange. Although the disappearance means that she can't be found, Xia Jian's grandmother is an old woman in her sixties who has leg and foot problems and has difficulty moving. Her usual range of activities does not exceed the shanty town.
It was said yesterday that she was missing, and everyone thought it was because of the cold weather that she suddenly became unwell somewhere and had no one to rescue her, so she passed away. She might have collapsed somewhere, rather than really disappearing.
Bai Yue said: "Are there any large animals in that area?"
"No." Xu Feiyang said: "Although the shantytowns are chaotic, they are densely populated. Several people often live in one house. Not to mention large animals, even wild cats and dogs do not dare to go there. If you are not careful, they will be eaten as game.
."
"How is it possible that he disappeared?" Jian Yu also wondered: "Did you have a conflict with someone and was hidden after being accidentally killed?"
"This subordinate doesn't know, but..." Xu Feiyang also looked strange: "Yesterday, my subordinate took this child and walked through Grandma Liu's usual route, and inquired about the surrounding residents.
Only then did I realize that Mrs. Liu is not the first person to disappear."
A person's disappearance has the right to be treated as an accident. If there is more than one, it is definitely not an accident.
Jian Yu frowned and said, "Who else is missing?"
Xu Feiyang took out a piece of paper: "This was investigated by my subordinates yesterday together with Qi Min. Time was tight and we couldn't conduct a door-to-door investigation, but we had people spread the news and the feedback we got started from two months ago.
Someone is missing, and so far, there are seven people whose names can be matched."
Everyone was shocked at this time. Seven of them, this could never be an accident.
Bai Yue took a deep breath: "Did they disappear together or one by one?"
"They didn't disappear together, but the specific time is difficult to find out." Xu Feiyang said: "Because the people in that area were messy, there were some homeless people, bachelors, and crazy people, so no one knew about them missing for a while. Some people even died at home.
For more than ten days, no one noticed the smell anymore."
The list Xu Feiyang investigated yesterday also included the time of disappearance, but many of them were only approximate ranges.
Bai Yue looked carefully. He could only suspect that the first missing person was two months ago. After that, someone would disappear every six or seven days, or ten or so days. The closest one was only two days, and of course it was possible.
The last one was discovered too late, which resulted in the two missing persons being discovered very close to each other.
"So many people are missing and they haven't reported it to the official?"
"Who will report it to the official?" Xu Feiyang sighed: "The people there have today and no tomorrow. They don't care about others or themselves. What's more, it's just a simple disappearance. There is no evidence. Even the reporter can't explain clearly.
."
Everyone was shocked, Xia Zhi sniffed, his eyes were red.
Although he was young, he must have had some suspicions since he was a poor man's child.
"Let's take the child to a place first." Bai Yue should be more careful. Sometimes the truth of this kind of disappearance case is very cruel, and the child is not suitable to be a witness: "Let's find a place in Dali Temple first. By the way, send Peggy to him."
There, let Peggy take care of you first."
Xia Jian didn't object. When the guards came to lead him, he followed him obediently. He only took two steps and suddenly ran back, knelt down and kowtowed several times to Jian Yu and Bai Yue.
Jian Yu was used to people kowtowing to him, but Bai Yue was startled and immediately pulled him up.
"Sir, eldest lady." Xia Jian didn't know what their status was. He only knew that they were high officials, very big, very big officials: "Please, you must find my grandma. I only have this one relative."
Xia Jian's eyes sparkled with tears, and Bai Yue felt a little sour, but it was not that she had never seen this scene before. On the contrary, in her career, she had seen many families of victims who had lost their parents, children, and friends. This was also
The reason why she is determined to do forensic medicine.
Captain Xing once said that we cannot make the evil in the world disappear, nor can we bring the victims back to life, but he cannot see the criminals being so arrogant and complacent.
Bai Yueshen thought so.
"Your grandma may have encountered an accident." Bai Yue held Xia Jian's hand, not wanting to perfuse the child with false comfort: "But sister promises you, if grandma is hurt, I will try my best to find the murderer. If
Now that grandma is gone, she will also arrange your future life."
Xia Jian was stunned. He didn't know whether it was because of the previous sentence or the latter sentence.
"Go." Bai Yue didn't want to say too much at this time, so he waved his hand to let the child go down first.
Xia Jian left in a daze, and Bai Yue said, "Mo Yi, can we investigate this case?"
"Of course, with so many people missing, we must investigate." Jian Yu said: "Although they are all vagrants, they are also citizens of Da Zhou, and the disappearances are still going on. If the murderer is not arrested, who knows how many more victims there will be.
By."
Xu Feiyang was busy last night, writing down the missing person's name, age, occupation, and approximate range of contacts on the paper.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jian Yu said, "Go and rest for a while. This case needs to be considered in the long run."
Xu Feiyang went down, and Bai Yue had already read each item one by one. After a long while, he shook his head.
"It's very strange." Bai Yue said: "At first glance, these missing people appear to be men, women, old and young. Some have enemies with others, some have no enemies with others, some have three meals a day, and some have some money..."
Of course, this is only relative. Those who live in shantytowns are considered rich if they have a piece of silver on them.
Jian Yu concluded: "So it's not a vendetta, it's not a murder for love, it's not a murder for wealth."
"So it's the murderer who's gone crazy. Does it matter who he sees?" Liang Meng said from the side: "Master, haven't we encountered this before?"
Victims are selected indiscriminately.
"Not really." Bai Yue said: "If we take it seriously, there are some things in common. For example, they are all adults. There are no children here, not even infants. I noticed in the shanty town, let alone someone as big as Xia Xian.
There are a lot of people who run around outside when they are five or six years old, and there is no one to look after them. If the murderer chooses his victims indiscriminately, it will be easier for children to attack."
"Um..." Liang Meng said: "Maybe the person who offended him was an adult, so the murderer specifically picked adults to kill."
