Disappear? Disappear again?

This seems to confirm what Liu Quan said before, and it is no accident that her daughter Liu Wenjing disappeared out of thin air.

For a young woman who likes to post news frequently on social media, not updating the news for half a month indicates that there is a big problem.

What's more, the mobile phone can stay on for half a month, which is almost impossible to do in this era when social networking is king.

Unless, Liu Wenjing doesn't need to socialize, but deliberately closes herself?

But Gu Chen quickly dispelled these thoughts again.

Before coming to Xiping City, Gu Chen also did his homework, and he specially looked at all the dynamics of Liu Wenjing.

It can be said that Liu Wenjing, who is a sports track and field specialty, belongs to the kind of social expert.

On social software, it is also a very sunny existence.

Especially with a lot of photos with friends, it is difficult for Gu Chen to imagine that such a communicator would choose to let himself take the initiative to cut off social interactions?

But now Gu Chen still has a doubt in his heart, that is, what is Liu Wenjing renting a car for? Where is she going?

Thinking of this, after listening to the complaints of the owner of the car dealership, Gu Chen continued to ask him: "Then did this woman tell you where she wants to rent a car?"

"This ...... Not really, anyway, it was said to rent for three days, probably a self-driving tour or something. The owner of the car dealership said.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and continued to ask him, "You said she broke your car, and you asked the tow truck to tow it back?"

"That's right. The owner of the car dealership said.

Gu Chen asked again: "Where is the location of the car accident?"

"Location?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, the owner of the car dealership hesitated for a moment and said, "It's in the area of Gaoqiao Forest Park, and the police station over there called me to tell me to move the car." ”

"Can you be specific? I mean the specific section. Gu Chen continued to ask him while recording.

"Specific?" The owner of the car dealership hesitated again, and then said, "Oh yes, there is a village nearby, I don't know what the name of the village is, but I only know that there is a mountain temple in that village." ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he then opened the map on his mobile phone, found the area around Gaoqiao Forest Park, and then searched for the mountain temple.

On the mobile phone map, it is shown that there is really a mountain temple, which is located on the roadside of Hejiang Village.

Gu Chen took the map of his mobile phone to the boss of the car dealership for reference: "Do you see if this is the place?"

"Yes, that's it. The owner of the car dealership nodded in acknowledgement.

According to the geographical location, Gu Chen recorded this information, and casually asked the owner of the car dealership: "Then what kind of accident is your car?"

"Hit the tree, anyway, I called the tow truck to go over, the front of the car was concave, I don't know how much it cost to repair the car, and because the woman who rented the car didn't show up, I'm very troublesome to take insurance now. ”

"Okay, I see, that is, this car was pulled away by a tow truck after the police informed you, right?"

"Yes. ”

"But there's no one in the car? The rental woman is gone?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay. ”

After completing these records, Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it is clear that Liu Wenjing once rented a car from this car dealer half a month ago and drove it to the area of Gaoqiao National Forest Park.

This site belongs to the remote area of Xiping City, and the population of Hejiang Village is relatively sparse.

It's hard to imagine, why would Liu Wenjing go to such a place alone?

But fortunately, I now have an entry point for investigation, as long as I follow the license plate.

Looking up at the owner of the car dealership, Gu Chen asked again: "When you found out that when you went to pick up the car, did you find any other items in the car?"

"Other items?" the owner of the car dealership thought for a few seconds and quickly said, "On the driver's seat and the roof of the car, we found some red liquid stains, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol, probably red wine. ”

"Also, near the crash site, I also found a Coke bottle containing a red liquid with the smell of alcohol. ”

"And the door was locked, I opened it with a spare key, and when I got the door, I found a box of red wine, an empty beer bottle, and a book on hiking in the back seat. ”

Gu Chen recorded these in the case and continued to ask him: "Is there anything else, such as mobile phones, bank cards, wallets and the like?"

"Nope. The owner shook his head.

Gu Chen put away the transcript and said, "Where is that car now?" can you take me to see it?"

"Absolutely. Seeing that the police were going to inspect the vehicle, the owner of the car dealership didn't mind, and immediately stood up and said, "Just stop at the modification and maintenance workshop at the back, and I'll take you over to have a look." ”

"I'm tired. Gu Chen said.

Then everyone was led by the owner of the car dealership, and the group soon came to the modification workshop behind the car dealership.

At this moment, the car, whose nose was badly damaged, was parked in the maintenance room.

The owner of the car dealership said: "Anyway, when I arrived at the scene, the car was a little messy, because the left headlight of the car was damaged, the windshield in front of the driver's seat was cracked, and both airbags popped out. ”

"I even suspect that the woman was drunk driving, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much red liquid in the car, and all that red wine. ”

"Hmm. Gu Chen nodded in agreement, and then carefully inspected the inside and outside around the vehicle.

Since the car has been overhauled and the interior of the car has been wiped with a rag, it is obviously unrealistic to look for clues from that time.

Gu Chen can only assess the specific situation of the vehicle.

However, judging from the appearance of the vehicle, it was indeed hit by a tree as the owner of the car dealership said.

After taking pictures of the scene, Gu Chen continued to briefly communicate with the owner of the car dealership about what happened that day, and then took everyone back to the Chengdong Branch.

And when everyone returned to the Xipingcheng East Branch, the takeaway that Gu Chen ordered was already cold.

It was 10:30 p.m. and there was no one else in the office.

While sorting out the materials, everyone ate cold takeaways.

Xu Sitong poured hot water for everyone and asked: "The place to live has been arranged for you, you rest early, and tomorrow morning, I will take you to Hejiang Village in Gaoqiao National Forest Park?"

"Yes. Gu Chen sat in Xu Sitong's seat, and used Xu Sitong's computer to query some important information.

Judging from the surveillance, on the day of the incident, Liu Wenjing did not show too many abnormal behaviors after renting the car.

She bought a lot of things and put them in the car, and she also drove to Gaoqiao National Forest Park alone.

But since the entrance of the forest park has been passed, the number of surveillances has been greatly reduced, so that it is not known what happened to Liu Wenjing in the forest park.

This will require a field survey early tomorrow morning.

And Xu Sitong is also very cooperative.

Because of Gu Chen's team working overtime, Xu Sitong had to work overtime with everyone.

Originally, I thought that the leader had arranged for me to be beautiful, but today I will take everyone to eat or something, and talk about life by the way.

But who knew that Gu Chen was a workaholic, and he had just arrived at the Xiping City East Branch this night, so he gave himself a dismount.

I arrived at the scene at about eight o'clock in the evening and immediately went out to handle the case.

If it weren't for Xu Sitong's vigorous energy, it is estimated that he would be a little unable to keep up with Gu Chen's rhythm after tossing back and forth like this.

But fortunately, Gu Chen is very familiar with the work process, and under Gu Chen's guidance, the information provided by Xu Sitong to Gu Chen is also very accurate.

In general, it was a little tiring to follow Gu Chen to handle the case.

But Xu Sitong also carefully observed Officer Wang beside Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.

They seem to have long been accustomed to it, and some of them are not surprised.

Therefore, Xu Sitong feels that the gap between them seems to be created in this way.

......

......

Early the next morning.

Xu Sitong, who originally wanted to sleep for a few more minutes, was woken up by Gu Chen's phone call at 6:50.

After a simple wash, when he came to the office, Gu Chen's team had been waiting for a long time at this time.

Xu Sitong was a little broken and said, "Officer Gu, do you usually get up so early?"

Gu Chen looked down at his watch and said, "Usually at work, we usually rush to the office around half past seven, but if it is to handle a case, it may be half past six." ”

"Huh?" Xu Sitong said with a bitter face: "Officer Gu, when people come to other places on business trips, where can they be like you, not to mention that there are 24 hours a day, you don't need to care about this sleeping time, right?"

"It's different, Liu Wenjing's father is still waiting for news in his hometown, we find Liu Wenjing one day earlier, Liu Wenjing's father can feel at ease one day earlier, so we don't waste time, we try not to waste it. ”

"Okay. "The villain in Xu Sitong's heart is slapping himself, and he says that he is wrong with which tendon?

Usually docking with other police officers from other places, it is not too easy, I have to hear all kinds of rainbow farts every day, and my ears are almost calloused.

But here in Gu Chen, except for work, he has almost nothing to say to himself, and even eating is a race against time.

It has only been less than a day since he contacted Gu Chen, and Xu Sitong has already felt that the efficiency of this work team from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City is amazing.

Looking at these colleagues in my office, there are not a few people who fish at work.

I suddenly felt a little ashamed.

"Officer Xu. Seeing Xu Sitong's dull gaze, Lu Weiwei shook her hand twice in front of her and said, "Let's go?"

"Ah, now, I haven't eaten breakfast yet?" Xu Sitong thought that according to the procedure, he would take everyone to breakfast first.

But Lu Weiwei took the pastries and milk on the table in her hands, and smiled at Xu Sitong and said, "Officer Xu, we have already eaten breakfast, this is for you, time is pressing, you can eat it directly in the car." ”

"Huh?" Xu Sitong was stunned, but soon Lu Weiwei had already stuffed it into her hand.

Do you feel so urgent?

Xu Sitong smiled bitterly, and could only reluctantly embarrass him: "That...... All right. ”

Surrounded by Gu Chen's team and sitting in the police car, Xu Sitong sat in the co-pilot without love.

Everyone and the group began to drive towards Gaoqiao National Forest Park.

After entering the destination range, the surrounding roads are noticeably narrower.

The entire highway passes through the scenic National Forest Park.

There are mountains and rivers on this road, away from the hustle and bustle, and the scenery is breathtaking.

From time to time, there are small animals on the side of the road, which makes Lu Weiwei shoot excitedly.

And Xu Sitong, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also played a cameo role as a tour guide, constantly introducing the origin of Gaoqiao National Forest Park to everyone.

"Actually, there was nothing special here before, but since a high bridge was built between the two mountains, it has become an Internet celebrity check-in place. ”

"In previous years, many people will come here for self-driving tours, especially the scenery here is very good, after all, it is a national forest park, and it has not been developed much, so it maintains the original appearance of this big forest. ”

"Many travelers often organize outdoor teams to carry out activities through Gaoqiao National Forest Park, and there have been accidents, anyway, this is a place frequented by the Blue Sky Rescue Team. ”

"This place is nice. Gu Chen can also see that the whole area is beautiful, and he can make wallpaper by taking a photo with his mobile phone.

It's also strange that Liu Wenjing will drive here to climb the mountain.

Of course, this is just Gu Chen's current speculation, maybe Liu Wenjing has another purpose.

The vehicle went around an S-shaped curve, and Xu Sitong suddenly pointed to the position in front and said: "Hejiang Village is there, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a mountain temple by the river." ”

"So this place, in fact, is also very lively on holidays, there are people in it to open a farmhouse, and the business is good on holidays, but it is usually not good, and the business is usually deserted. ”

"Is that there?" Gu Chen pointed to a small temple.

Xu Sitong nodded silently: "Yes, yes, that's the mountain temple, it's very small, right?" ”

Between the conversations, Gu Chen had already parked the vehicle firmly in front of the Mountain Temple.

The surrounding area is sparsely populated, and there is almost no trace of people.

After Xu Sitong got out of the car, he observed left and right.

Then he pointed to a big banyan tree and said, "Judging from the photos taken in the car accident, it should be this tree." ”

Glancing at the traces on the ground, Xu Sitong said again: "Look, there are still some traces of vehicle tires braking sharply on the ground, which are directly towards the big banyan tree, which should be the place where Liu Wenjing had a car accident." ”

According to Xu Sitong's guidance, Gu Chen picked up his mobile phone, filmed the scene, and then walked under the big banyan tree.

At this time, the big banyan tree is close to the side of the road, and there are obvious traces of being hit by vehicles.

Looking around, the nearest house is also a dozen places away from the big banyan tree.

So Gu Chen walked quickly to the door of the house, knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"

"Who?" said an old man in the room.

Gu Chen said: "I'm a policeman, can I open the door conveniently?"

"Wait a minute. Inside the house, not long after the words fell, a seventy-year-old lady pushed the door out, and saw everyone in police uniforms standing at the door, and suddenly had some doubts.

"You ...... this"

"Have you seen this person?" Gu Chen hurriedly took out his mobile phone and showed the photo of Liu Wenjing in the mobile phone album to the old lady.

And casually reminded: "Half a month ago, she drove by here and crashed into the big tree over there, do you still have an impression?"

The old lady was slow to react, and was stunned for half a beat, and then she remembered: "Oh, you are talking about her? Yes, there is such a person, what's wrong?"

Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "She is missing, so we have been looking for her traces now, and we want to know from you what happened here that day, I don't know if it is convenient for you?"

"What's so inconvenient about this?" said the old lady as she walked out of the room and came to the side of the road.

Pointing to the big banyan tree, he said, "That day, I remember that it was at night, I was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks at home, but suddenly I heard a loud noise from outside the house. ”

"It scared the hell out of me, this place has always been quiet, and when there was such a big commotion, I had to go out and see?"

"So what? what do you see?" asked Lou Weiwei.

The old lady said unhurriedly: "I heard the movement, so I went to the window and looked out, and found a small black car, which rushed into the grass on the side of the road, and probably crashed into the banyan tree, and the front of the car broke a lot of parts." ”

"Because it was getting dark, I didn't go out immediately to be on the safe side, but just watched quietly by the window. ”

"When did this accident take place?" Gu Chen adjusted the direction of the law enforcement recorder, and while making a record in the notebook, he asked the old lady seriously.

The old lady thought for a few seconds, and then said: "I remember that I went to wash the dishes every day when I watched the news broadcast, and when there was a car accident, it should have been around 7:30 p.m. ”

"7:30 p.m. Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and said, "You go on." ”

"Hmm. The old lady nodded silently, and then said, "Later, I lay by the window, wanting to see what happened to the people in the car, whether they needed help or something." ”

But at this time, an enthusiastic truck driver happened to pass by, and he also noticed a car accident on the side of the road, so the truck driver parked the car on the side of the road and went over to check the situation. ”

"I pushed open the door and stood in the doorway to watch, and the truck driver found a young woman standing next to the accident vehicle, shivering with cold. ”

Then the driver said that he needed to help call the police or something, but the woman was very strange, and almost in a pleading tone, she said that she should not call the police, saying that she had contacted a friend or something. ”

Later, the driver looked at the woman, who was not bleeding or had obvious wounds, and did not appear to be injured. ”

So he didn't think much about it and drove straight home. ”

"What about later, did you go out to check on the situation?" Gu Chen asked.

The old lady shook her head: "I don't like to care about these troubles, as long as the woman doesn't come to me for help, I don't bother to care about them, so I go back to the house and continue to clean." ”

"But not long after, a police car drove up, I remember very clearly, there were police lights flashing outside, but when the police car stopped on the side of the road to check the situation, there was no trace of the woman. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady also looked puzzled: "Let's say, it's only a few minutes, those policemen only saw an empty car at the scene, and they didn't see the young woman, she seemed to have disappeared out of thin air." ”

......
