A boy who looked like he was only four or five years old, dressed in shabby clothes and holding a letter wrapped in a black envelope in his hand, was looking up at me with big eyes in the middle of winter.

I touched his head, wrapped my coat around him, and then took the black letter and opened it.

The letter is wrapped in a stack of IOUs, signed Zhang Sanshun under the IOUs, looking at the neatness of this letter, I believe it should be squeezed in a similar book all year round.

"Little brother, who gave you this letter?" I took the stack of IOUs and looked down at the little boy, but strangely, my coat had been thrown on the ground, and the little boy who had come to deliver the letter to me was nowhere to be seen.

I didn't care so much, picked up the clothes on the ground, and sat down directly on the stone bench next to me to read the IOU in the black letter.

There are a total of fifteen IOUs, I calculated, the total amount of these IOUs is 950,000, this IOU is no problem, the interest on it is also very clear, but I remember that when I was looking at Zhang Sanshun's information, the police checked his capital transaction records within three years, and the largest one was only 300,000, where did this come from 960,000? Is it a face-to-face transaction?

I shook my head, who would trade more than 900,000 yuan in cash in person? Unless it was a shipment, who would carry that much cash with him, and that was twenty years ago.

In the information, there is no mention that Zhang Sanshun has a debt of more than 900,000 yuan, and this sudden IOU instantly confused my thinking.

"Snap"

As I flipped through the IOUs one by one, a card fell to the ground from the compartment of the envelope.

"My little lamb, you can't be impatient, don't worry, the good is still to come, let me, the demon in your head, help you, follow the direction I gave you, and you will be able to find the murderer, but, are you really willing to let the demon help you?"

These words are a paragraph that has been pieced together from the handwriting of a newspaper, and when I saw the word demon, I was stunned, demon, is it ...... The last person I was talking to?

What is he going to do? Induce me to arrest him? How can he be so confident......

But in any case, these IOUs do have Zhang Sanshun's autograph and handprints on them, and I don't think these IOUs will be fake.

Jiang Zhicheng, this is Zhang Sanshun's debtor, and the debtor on every IOU here has his name written on it, from 1988 to 1989, a total of more than 900,000 pieces of scattered total.

Thinking of this, I immediately called Li Yan and asked him to help inquire about a person named Jiang Zhicheng, maybe according to this clue, we can learn the identity of the female deceased.

I didn't hang up the phone, I just listened to the crackling typing sound on the phone, and it didn't take long for Li Yan's voice to ring out of my microphone again, "There are three people called Jiang Zhicheng in this city, one is fifteen years old, one is thirty years old, and one is fifty-eight years old, which one are you looking for?"

I rolled my eyes suddenly, and I didn't have much time to explain, so I immediately said angrily: "Fifty-eight years old." ”

"Let me see, the Jiang Zhicheng you are looking for has been registered as a missing person in 89, and the information says that it was his wife who reported the case at that time, saying that her husband left home at seven o'clock in the morning on December 25, and he has never returned, and the police have contacted his relatives and friends, but there is no news, huh...... The case of this man's disappearance was closed after three years, and the closing words were only four words, suspected death. ”

"Suspected death, why is it suspected death?" I asked, frowning.

"Big brother, in ordinary cases, I don't think you don't know the proportion of missing people who have been missing for three months and can come back alive, for three consecutive years, his family, friends, and even his ID card have not been used, can he still be alive?" Li Yan said impatiently.

Immediately afterwards, I asked Li Yan to find Jiang Zhicheng's address back then, and then took a car and rushed over.

On the past road, there were two more household registration information in my mailbox, one was from Jiang Zhicheng and the other was from Jiang Zhicheng's wife Hu Hailan.

Hu Hailan is two years younger than Jiang Zhicheng, and according to the address indicated on the household registration information, this Hu Hailan seems to have lived in the house where she and her husband lived 20 years ago.

Because my current location is not far from their home, I took a taxi and it took five or six minutes to get to their neighborhood.

Lanxi Villa, the first villa area built in the city, these houses are not only older than me, according to the current housing prices, even if I have been a policeman for three lifetimes, it seems that I can't buy the hall of this villa.

It is no wonder that 20 years ago, Jiang Zhicheng was able to take out more than 900,000 yuan to lend money, and it was not without reason, and it seems that 20 years ago, the matter of usury was also particularly popular.

After I showed my ID at the security booth, the security guard took me directly to the door of Building 12.

Standing outside this villa, I looked up, this Nima, I was wrong, not to mention a hall, even if it was a toilet, I might not be able to afford it.

"Mrs. Jiang has lived here alone for so many years, about fifteen years ago, Mrs. Jiang also bought the villa next to her, saying that it is too small to live in, and it is ironic to think about it, we people can't even buy a balcony, they are rich people, living in such a big villa, and they are still small. ”

Seeing me standing outside the villa and looking up and down, the security guard who originally brought me over was also the same as me, with his waist in his hand, looking at the second and third floors of the villa from afar, and sighed.

"Listen to you, you've been here for years?" I asked softly, not right away, but stood outside the villa, took a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, handed a cigarette over, and whispered.

The security guard was a little embarrassed to accept it at first, but finally reached out and took the cigarette I handed him, and when he smiled, his face was still full of folds.

"Yes, I've been doing it here for twenty-five years, and I thought that the treatment was good, so I kept doing it, and in a blink of an eye, my son was almost as old as you. The security guard said with a smile.

"Does Mrs. Jiang usually live alone, and she hasn't brought anyone back?" I asked slowly, looking at the second floor of the villa.

The security guard nodded, saying that since Jiang Zhicheng's disappearance, Hu Hailan has been like setting up a chaste archway, for the first few years, she ran to the police station every day to ask about her husband's whereabouts, but then she didn't seem to be so sad, maybe she slowly accepted this reality, she sold Mr. Jiang's original debt company and opened a cosmetics store, I heard that it was not bad, but she still didn't like to go out, let alone bring people back.

I sneered and said that I couldn't see that a strong woman like her was still a chaste and fierce woman.

"Yes, think about it, what a pitiful thing it is for a woman to not feel the nourishment of a man for twenty years, but some time ago, Mrs. Jiang kept saying that someone was following her, and she came to our security booth to say it several times, saying, Comrade policeman, did you come to Mrs. Jiang because of this incident?" The security guard took a puff of cigarette, blinked his eyes, and asked sideways.

I smiled, then shook my head and said, "What's the matter? Mrs. Jiang was followed some time ago?"

"Where is it, for this matter, we also set up a camera in the community, but judging from the camera, she is suspicious, and no one follows her at all. ”

"Brother Liu, the captain called you and asked you to hurry over. ”

The security guard said this, and just as he was about to continue, he was called over by another person wearing a security uniform.

"Got it, what is it called, beware of being complained by residents. The security guard waved his hand to the man behind him impatiently, then turned around and said that he was okay, then gave me another cigarette of his, turned around and ran over.

Looking at the back of the security guard, I tilted my head to the second floor of this villa, I don't know why, I always feel that someone is peeping at us on the second floor, is it Hu Hailan?
