Chapter 198: Things are far from being as simple as they seem
"What do you mean by that?"
Bai Jingge read the message sent by the other party carefully, "He said he wanted to talk to me face-to-face!"
Yan Jiu: "......"
Seeing his hesitation, Bai Jingge hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I only love you alone in my life, whether he is Xia Mu or Dong Mu, for me, he is just an ordinary friend, not even a friend, just a passerby." ”
Hearing this, Yan Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly apologized: "I'm sorry!"
"Huh?"
Bai Jingge was stunned for a moment and then laughed, she pinched the other party's face and muttered: "You, you just underestimate my love for you, then let's go, I will go!"
The place where Xia Mu asked her to meet was by the lake of their school, and it was also the scene of Ye Xiao's crime.
When he was about to reach his destination, Yan Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Does every school have a lake?"
"Of course, there will be almost. Jiujiu, guess what hidden information there will be, this matter is already clear, the murderer is Han Zhi, if nothing else, she should have killed Ye Xiao by mistake. ”
"I don't know, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until Natsuki arrives to find out!"
The cordon by the school lake has not been removed, and Natsuki is standing in the distance and watching from a distance, his eyes are slightly red, and his whole face is as pale as a blank piece of paper.
"Natsuki!"
Bai Jingge shouted at him, and then walked over, and when he came to the front, when he saw the other party's face, he was so frightened that he took a step back.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Natsuki shook his head, "It's because of my physique!"
"I already know that Ye Xiao was killed by Han Zhi, but she said that there was a misunderstanding in the middle, and Han Zhi ...... her"
She was about to say that Han Zhi was currently at the Nightingale Bar when Yan Jiu quickly pulled her arm, "Don't say it!"
Bai Jingge immediately stopped, she scratched her head, pretended to be careless and continued: "Find her, and the case will be closed!"
After listening to this, Xia Mu pondered for a while, and added: "While Han Zhi was dating Ye Xiao, he was also with a person who was nicknamed "Brother Dong" by the leader of the gangsters. Two years ago, there was a case of missing children on the outskirts of the city, when three children were abducted, the eldest was 11 years old, the youngest was 5 years old, and one was 8 years old. Two boys and a girl, the body of an eleven-year-old boy was found, and a five-year-old girl was rescued, but the remaining eight-year-old boy has not been heard from. ”
Bai Jingge: "Huh?"
She didn't know what this child disappearance case had to do with Ye Xiao's death, she only felt that what the other party said was in her fog.
Natsuki motioned for her not to worry, waiting for him to explain.
It turned out that Ye Xiao had participated in the kidnapping case as an intern at that time, and suspected that Dongge's group had done it, because on the day the three children disappeared, some villagers saw that group of people appeared around the children's house.
Dong Ge was summoned as a suspect and eventually released because there was no evidence.
Ye Xiao suddenly learned about the relationship between Han Zhi and Dong Ge during the summer vacation, he originally thought that the child disappearance case two years ago was related to Dong Ge, and Han Zhi was his girlfriend, this thunderbolt news almost made him faint to death on the spot.
Xia Mu was worried that Ye Xiao might have known some clues about the child's disappearance case through Han Zhi, and his death was by no means as simple as an ordinary accident, nor was it just a love killing.
"So what are you looking for me for?"
Xia Mu turned his head and looked at her in a daze, and said, "Ask Ye Xiao!"
"Huh?"
Bai Jingge opened his mouth in surprise, "No, it's not!"
"You can see that he's right, the eight-year-old boy has never been found, if he is sold by Dongge, he should at least find out where he was sold, so that there is still hope of getting it back. ”
"Are you worried about Ye Xiao, what might he know?"
Xia Mu nodded and pointed to the scene of the crime, "Han Zhi is definitely not the only one here, the autopsy found that Ye Xiao did not die immediately after being stabbed with a knife, but was thrown into the lake and drowned." If there was only Han Zhi alone, with Ye Xiao's skills, it would not be so easy to be dragged into the lake by her. Moreover, we also found that Ye Xiao had bruises on his neck, that is, after Ye Xiao was stabbed at that time, the murderer grabbed his neck from behind and dragged him to the lake. Do you think Han Zhi can do that?"
In this way, Bai Jingge felt that it was reasonable, so it couldn't be more obvious, there were other people at the scene of the incident.
But......
Although she had not been in contact with Ye Xiao, Yan Jiu had chatted with the other party for a few words, and he seemed unwilling to say anything about this matter.
Bai Jingge sighed and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help, he won't say anything." ”
Xia Mu hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Can I take you to the family where the child is missing?"
Bai Jingge: "Huh?"
Natsuki: "The youngest girl often said that she saw her eldest brother, but everyone thought that she was stimulated two years ago and had some mental problems. ”
Bai Jingge: "You mean that the soul of the older child who died hasn't left yet, right?"
"Hmm. Natsuki nodded, "It's very likely, if you can see him, maybe you can ask him, maybe he knows where his brother is!"
Bai Jingge didn't think about it, and immediately agreed to the other party.
Xia Mu asked her to wait for him at the school gate, he had to go to the parking lot to drive the car first, after all, the suburbs are quite far from here, and it takes two hours to drive, and it is too inconvenient to take the car by himself.
Standing at the school gate, Yan Jiu hesitated: "Do you really want to go there with him?"
"Hmm!"
"Can we trust him?"
Bai Jingge put his hands in his pockets, rubbed the soles of his feet on the ground a few times, and sighed, "But you can find a missing child, isn't it, Yan Jiu you know me, I can't refuse this kind of help!"
Yan Jiu was speechless when he said this, he thought about it, Xia Mu is a graduate student studying criminal investigation and Zhu Ziyi's junior brother, so he shouldn't be a bad person.
At this point, he can only comfort himself like this.
After a while, Xia Mu drove here, shouted Bai Jingge, and on the way there, he couldn't help but say, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Bai Jingge was sitting in the co-pilot, she glanced at Yan Jiu, who was sitting behind her at this time, and nodded, "Yes!"
"Oh?"
Natsuki had a disappointed look on his face, and after a moment, he knocked off the steering wheel and asked, "What kind of person is he?"
"My boyfriend? His name is Yan Jiu, and he is a very good person!" Bai Jingge said with a smug face.
Hearing this, Yan Jiu in the back row suddenly grinned. At the same time, he also felt sorry for his careful eyes not long ago, and thought about it, although he was a ghost, Bai Jingge had never hidden him in front of others.
Every time someone asked, he generously admitted that he didn't understand what else he had to worry about such a good girl.
After figuring it out, my mood suddenly brightened, and I unconsciously looked out the window, feeling that the trees on the side of the road were cute to death.
Xia Mu said "Okay" lonely, and at the end, he suddenly added, "If you break up one day, can I be the first person in line?"
Yan Jiu: "Huh?"
He stood up and slapped Natsuki on the back of the head, "Stinky boy, what are you doing with your bad idea?"
Natsuki's head "buzzed", and he shook his head, "Strange, how do you feel like someone hit me on the head!"
Bai Jingge covered his mouth and snickered, and said perfunctorily: "What, how can it be, how can there be such a thing?"
The suburbs are relatively desolate, and many buildings still retain the appearance of more than ten years ago, Bai Jingge got out of the car and looked around, "Are the three children you said belong to the family?"
"Well, it's Sister Zhang's family, let's go, her house is in front. ”
As he spoke, the two walked along the road in front of them for about a few dozen meters, and then turned into a courtyard.
The little girl was playing with the puppy in the yard, and when she saw the stranger, she quickly ran back to the house and called "Mom" a few times.
Not long after the words fell, a thin middle-aged woman came out, she looked Xia Mu and Bai Jingge up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"Hello Sister Zhang! My name is Xia Mu, her name is Bai Jingge, I came to you today because I want to discuss this matter with you!" he glanced at the little girl.
Sister Zhang quickly sent away after understanding: "Girl, you go to the house to watch TV." ”
"Oh, good!"
Saying that, the girl jumped into the house, and Sister Zhang hurriedly brought out two stools.
"Say it!"
Xia Mu and Bai Jingge sat down and looked at each other, smacking their lips, not knowing how to speak.
"Sister Zhang, you know Ye Xiao, two years ago, I'm sorry, I may have to talk about that sad incident. Ye Xiao was an intern police officer at the time, the one in charge of your child's disappearance. ”
"I remember him, he was a very young lad. People are very warm-hearted, what's wrong with him?" Sister Zhang asked in a hoarse voice.
It's been two years since that incident, two years, it's not long, it's not short, she's already survived the pain. Glancing up at the house, fortunately my daughter was found. I felt a little comfort.
"He's dead!"
"Dead?" Sister Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, "No, it's not, how can such a good young man ......"
"Murder! I suspect it was done by the same people who robbed your child at the time. Natsuki stared into the other's eyes and said bluntly.
After hearing this, Sister Zhang trembled obviously, she grabbed her knees, nervously not knowing where to put her hands.
Natsuki asked, "Does your daughter still say those things about meeting her eldest brother recently?"
"Huh?"
Sister Zhang was a little distracted just now, she didn't hear what the other party said very clearly, Xia Mu repeated it before she waved her hand and said, "That kid is talking nonsense, you don't care about her, but how did you know about this?"
"I was here some time ago and listened to what other people here have to say. To tell you the truth, I have been investigating the case of the disappearance of children some time ago, because in the past two years, in the city, including the surrounding counties, there are not one or two children missing, if I can, I want to find out the group of people behind the scenes. Also, the second child of your family is still missing, and we have reason to believe that he is still alive!"
"What you said is true?" Sister Zhang suddenly stood up with an excited face, and with a "bang", the stool she was sitting on turned to the ground, and the little girl playing in the house hurriedly ran out after hearing it, hiding at the door and looking at Xia Mu and them timidly......
