The next morning, Wang Bo made a detailed report to Wu Jianguo, and Wu Jianguo immediately contacted the police in L City, asking for cooperation in investigating Mi Hong's current situation.

Shao Dong came to the No. 1 Squadron to take a roll call, said hello to the master, and went to the bank to retrieve Mi Hong's deposit and withdrawal records in recent years.

What is suspicious is that all the bank accounts of L City Mihong were retrieved from the bank, and it was found that there was no deposit and withdrawal record in the past five years.

For a person living in a city, it is basically impossible to run without a bank flow, because everyone will incur daily consumption. This shows that Liang Wei's confession is very likely to be true.

According to the investigation by the L city police, it was learned that Mi Hong had not contacted her family for five or six years because she had been working outside for a long time.

According to the household registration, Mi Hong's family lived in Dashan Town, P County, L City, and Shao Dong immediately decided to visit Mi Hong's home to learn more about the situation.

P County in L City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from G County, and Shao Dong and Wang Bo arrived three days later by car.

According to the address recorded on the public security household registration network, the two came to Mi Hong's home, and a woman in her 30s received them.

After understanding, it was learned that this person is Mi Hong's sister called Mi Yu, Mi Hong has three brothers and two sisters, and Mi Hong is the eldest in the family, and her parents have died.

Most of Mi Hong's brothers and sisters have already married, only Mi Yu is not married, so she has been living in the old house.

Mi Yu said that Mi Hong dropped out of school at the age of 16 and has been working outside, Mi Hong has been stubborn since she was a child, and her personality is also very strong, and she is very smart, and she has always wanted to get ahead on her own. The last contact with Mi Hong was five years ago, Mi Hong called to ask for money from the family, the family did not give it, and then it was not contacted, Mi Yu thought that Mi Hong was angry with the family, but I didn't expect that until now, there is still no news of Mi Hong, and the family is also very anxious.

At that time, she also said that she was working in City C, and after losing contact, her family also went to City C and several places around her to look for it, but it was too difficult to find someone in the vast sea of people.

The family can only wait for Mi Hong to contact the family, and no one dares to think about the worst.

But Mi Hong also has a little bit that makes her family not very satisfied, that is, she doesn't have a strong family concept, she seems to have opinions about her family, she honestly thinks that she is famous outside, she rarely cares about her family, and she doesn't care too much about whether her family thinks about her.

Mi Yu said and found Mi Hong's photo and showed it to Shao Dong and Wang Bo. The woman in the photo is tall and outstanding.

Shao Dong asked, "Did your sister Mi Hong talk about her boyfriend before she lost contact?"

"I heard her say that she has a boyfriend named Huazi. Mi Yu said.

"What was their relationship like at that time?" asked Shao Dong.

"Very good, I heard my sister say that Huazi has a loyal and honest personality, his home is in City C, and his sister happens to be working over there, so she has a good care. After losing contact with my sister, we also went to City C to find Huazi to ask about my sister's whereabouts, but City C was too big, and we searched for a week, but we didn't find Huazi. Mi Hong said.

After confirming these circumstances, Shao Dong and Mi Yu exchanged contact information and drove back to County G with Wang Bo.

At this point, Shao Dong has confirmed that Mi Hong is indeed a person, and he has indeed not contacted his family for five years, and the world has evaporated, this situation is very abnormal, and the person who is most likely to know is Mi Hong's boyfriend Mao Taihua.

returned to County G, and Shao Dong summoned Mao Taihua in accordance with the law.

Asked about the name, age, and nationality, Mao Taihua just answered mechanically, and his calm mood surprised Shao Dong.

"Do you know Mi Hong?" asked Shao Dong.

"Recognize. It was a few years ago. Mao Taihua was calm.

"What's your relationship?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend, but then broke up. ”

"What caused the breakup?"

"The personalities are incompatible, she has an affair with another man, so they broke up. ”

"When was the last time you saw her?"

Mao Taihua thought for a while and replied: "It's been about five years, probably in March, I can't remember the specific time, we lived together at that time, she and I often quarreled over some trivial things, and even started to do it, knowing that one day I found out that she had an affair with another man, and I couldn't bear it and proposed to break up, and the last time I saw her was the day we broke up, Xiaohong and a man left." ”

"What's this man's name? Have you seen it?"

"I don't know what it's called, I haven't met, I found out from Xiaohong's mobile phone text message. ”

"Did you get in touch later?"

"No, haven't been in touch since the breakup. When we quarreled, Xiaohong said that one day she would go with the man, so I was always angry in my heart and never contacted him again. After we broke up, I moved back home. ”

Shao Dong took out a photo of Mi Hong in P County, L City, printed out from the household registration network, "Look at this photo, is it the girlfriend Mi Hong you talked about?"

Mao Taihua looked at it and said, "Yes." ”

After receiving the results of these inquiries, Shao Dong and Wang Bo analyzed the case.

Shao Dong said: "According to the clues we have, Mi Hong may have been killed, because a person has not had any life trajectory in five years, which is obviously unreasonable." ”

Wang Bo asked: "Brother Dong, but Mao Taihua's calmness towards the police doesn't look like he pretended, Brother Dong, how can you explain this?"

"There is only one possibility, that is, Mao Taihua is very confident in his criminal methods and feels that he will not be caught by the police. Shao Dong analyzed.

"If Mao Taihua really killed Mi Hong, if he wants the body not to be discovered, where will be the safest place to dump the body? I think it must be a familiar and very hidden place for him, and according to the comrades of the neighborhood committee, Mao Taihua has not been out of Maozhai Village for five years, and the place he is familiar with is within the scope of Maozhai Village, and the most familiar place is his own home. Wang Bo said.

"Hiroko, you've finally learned to use your brain. Shao Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, a little foolishness, not enough to worry about. Brother Dong, let's arrange the next step. Wang Bo put his left hand on his right fist to signify.

Through discussion, the two decided to visit the villagers of Maozhai Village to find out whether Mao Taihua was telling the truth, whether the man in Mao Taihua's mouth existed, whether Mi Hong had gone or not, and the scope of Mi Hong's final life trajectory.

During the visit, the words of an old man who lived near Mao Fenghua's house attracted Shao Dong's attention.

The old man showed Shaodong Wang Bo his military merit medal, saying that he had participated in the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and that he was a combat hero who crawled out of the pile of dead.

Shao Dong and Wang Bo were in awe of the old man, and Shao Dong said politely: "Old hero, we want to find out something about you, your neighbor, Mao Taihua, do you know anything about him?"

"You mean Huazi, I know and understand, they are all neighbors for decades, and I watched him grow up. The old man said.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up and said, "Five years ago, Huazi talked about a person named Xiaohong, do you know?"

"Yes, a girl from out of town, with big eyes and a very smart mind. At that time, when I talked to Huazi, Huazi and the family had a serious quarrel, and everyone in the village knew that Huazi ran away from home. The old man said.

"As far as you know, does this girl have any other male friends besides Huazi?" asked Wang Bo.

"Xiaohong and Huazi rented a house at the entrance of the village at that time, and the two got along day and night, I haven't seen any other men, and I haven't heard of them, they had a good relationship at that time. The old man said.

"Where did Xiaohong go after?" Wang Bo asked.

The two broke up, Huazi went home, and Huazi said that Xiaohong also returned to her hometown. The old man said.

"Did Huazi have anything unusual during the time he went home?" asked Wang Bo.

"I know what you're investigating, I was also a soldier back then, so it stands to reason that I'm still your senior. The old man laughed.

"Of course, old man, do you have clues to provide?" Wang Bo asked, Shao Dong had a spirit as soon as he heard the old man say this.

"Tell you, looking for me is the right person, you have been investigating Mao Taihua for the past few days, let me ask you first, do you suspect that Xiaohong is dead?" The old man asked.

Wang Bo looked at Shao Dong, and Shao Dong hurriedly said: "Yes, old-timer, we suspect that Mao Taihua killed Xiaohong, but we haven't found evidence yet, according to the clues we have, Xiaohong is likely to be dead." ”

"If you hadn't been around to learn about the situation, I wouldn't have thought about those things back then, and now that I think about it, my speculation is possible. "The old man is still selling Guanzi.

"Senior, tell us about it. Shao Dong said and gave Wang Bo a look, "Hurry up and smoke the old-timers." ”

Wang Bo suddenly realized that he hurriedly took out the cigarette in his pocket, saluted the old man, and lit it.

The old man took a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and said: "I participated in the battle of Shangganling, I saw a lot of dead bodies, I was still a platoon commander at that time, because our platoon suffered large casualties, it was merged with other platoons, and I performed outstandingly, and later the firing line was promoted to deputy company commander, that battle was fought, bitter ......"

Shao Dong and Wang Bo listened patiently to the old man's battle story.

The old man continued slowly: "On the battlefield, the dead bodies are the most difficult to deal with, most of our dead and wounded are scattered, and the enemy in front of the position is full of corpses, so many corpses look disgusting, what should I do? At the beginning, I had no experience in handling corpses, so I dug a pit and threw it inside, the weather was hot at that time, and it didn't take long for the corpse pit to be full of flies, and the stench was incomparable. The company commander began to teach us how to dispose of corpses, telling us that if we did not deal with them in time, there would definitely be epidemics such as plagues, and the method that the company commander taught us was to burn them, burn them, and there would be no infectious diseases. ”

The old man changed his words and said: "Corpse smell, I remember it very clearly until now, when Huazi moved home to live, the smell of his well was the smell of corpses, I thought it was a dead cat or a dead dog or something, because Xiao Huazi was honest and honest, I didn't think bad at the time, but now that your police began to investigate, I recall that the smell is the smell of human corpses decomposing." ”

Wang Bo recorded it carefully, and Shao Dong was surprised: "The smell of rotting corpses? Could it be that Mao Taihua killed Xiaohong and threw the corpse into the well?"

"It's very likely, because since the smell wafted from the well in Huazi's house, Huazi sealed the well. Of course, this is just a speculation of an old soldier with a sensitive sense of smell, and it is up to you to investigate and confirm. The old man said.

Shao Dong looked at the old man with some surprise, he didn't expect the old man to have the talent to solve the case, the old man saw the doubt in Shao Dong's eyes, and said with a smile: "After I retired, I worked as a railway policeman for nearly thirty years. ”

Shao Dong suddenly realized and saluted the old man heavily. The old man smiled heartily and sent the two away.
