Chapter 1: The Disappearance of the Brunette Girl
"The movie just now was really funny, but I didn't expect him to act in a funny movie with super feeling." Walking out of the cinema, Li Jing and I were discussing the plot. Because of the shadow left by the movie theater last time, I didn't dare to go into the movie theater for half a year, because there was an actor I liked very much in the film that would be released.
"The special effects are also well done." It was rare that Li Jing and I had the same opinion, and we were about to continue the discussion, when suddenly a man in a pullover, 1.75 meters tall, combed a small village head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, long eyelashes, and the NJ10 on his feet was very conspicuous. "Are you Li Jing?" He grabbed Li Jing's arm.
Li Jing looked at him for a moment, then nodded. My eyes widened, and I looked at the panicked man in front of me, bewildered.
"Great, you must help me." The man grabbed Li Jing's arm and didn't let go.
Li Jing pulled out his arm without a trace: "Don't worry, tell me what happened to you first?" ”
The man anxiously took out a photo from his pocket, pointed to the girl with a bright smile on the face and said, "She is my sister, she left home to go to work three days ago and has not come back." ”
"She's been to all the places she's been to?" Li Jing asked the man.
The man nodded, and then said anxiously: "I have found everything I can find." I even asked about her company, and their colleagues said that she hadn't been to work for three days. Three days ago, she had disappeared from the world after leaving home. ”
"Did you call the police?" Li Jing asked him.
The man frowned: "It's been reported, but the police still have no clues." Until I got a phone call just now. ”
"Phone." Li Jing's eyes widened, "Is it a ransom call?" ”
The man shook his head: "No, just sue me, my sister is in his hands." Then he hung up the phone. ”
Li Jing thought for a while, stopped the car, said the address of the police station, and let us get into the car, on the way to the police station, Li Jing asked the man sitting in the back seat with him: "Have you contacted the police station that reported this matter?" ”
The man looked a little cramped, but he still told us the truth: "I told the police station who reported the phone before, but because the call time was too short, they couldn't determine the location of the call. I only have such a sister, please help me. ”
I saw in the rearview mirror that Li Jing had closed his eyes, he put his hand on his forehead, and gently rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger: "If the bureau agrees with me to meddle in this matter, I will try my best." ”
Walking into the police station, I just saw Shi Hao coming out of the innermost office. Shi Hao saw Oh, Li Jing and a strange man walking towards him together, and an expression of 'bad food' immediately appeared on his face, wanting to ignore us and turn to another office. How could Li Jing give him such an opportunity, only to hear Li Jing shouting: "Shi Hao, go to Team Xiao's office with me, there is a gentleman who needs help." ”
It's a good look at me, I spread my hand at him, and Shi Hao came over to go up to the second floor with us.
"I don't have the authority to meddle in other cases." After listening to the descriptions of several of us, the team said helplessly.
"Please help me." The man pleaded, and Team Xiao showed an embarrassed expression.
Li Jing stopped the man's arm and said calmly: "I just need to check some information." ”
Team Xiao and Li Jing looked at each other for a while, and finally lost the battle, he waved at Brother Shi Hao: "Shi Hao, please leave the matter of checking the information to you." However, if you really find a related case that has not been closed, notify me as soon as possible. ”
Li Jing's eyebrows bent slightly: "Thank you." ”
Team Xiao didn't speak, and waved at us helplessly.
Sitting in a 24-hour café on the street in front of the police station, Li Jing and the man talked about the case. The man's name is Du Tao, 32 years old this year, and the missing girl is his half-sister, Du Ting, 21 years old this year, Du Tao's stepmother is French, so Du Ting's appearance does not look very similar to Du Tao.
"Mr. Du, did your sister Du Ting change when she left home that day?" Li Jing asked Du Tao.
Du Tao recalled for a while, shook his head and said, "No, she left with makeup as usual." She got up late that day, and she was afraid of being late, so she went to catch the subway without even eating breakfast. ”
"Has anyone called you other than that phone call just now?"
"Nope." Du Tao denied, "I only received this one call in the past three days. ”
"Give me the phone." Shi Hao stretched out his hand to Du Tao, Du Tao was stunned for a moment, and after knowing what Shi Hao meant, he hurriedly jumped out of the call record and gave it to Shi Hao.
Li Jing was silent for a while before pointing to Du Ting in the photo and asking, "Mr. Du, your sister's hair has always been this color, or was it dyed later?" "Du Ting in the photo has beautiful brown hair.
"She followed her mother, and her hair was naturally tan. But does this have anything to do with my sister's disappearance? Du Tao looked at Li Jing with a little incomprehension.
Li Jing ignored him, but fell into her own contemplation again.
Du Tao looked at us a little embarrassed, Shi Hao lowered his head to check the incoming calls on Du Tao's mobile phone, and I could only explain head-on: "That, it's Li Jing's habit to stop and think halfway, don't mind, he's trying to think about your sister's affairs." ”
Du Tao nodded in understanding, Shi Hao looked away from the laptop screen, and waved at us regretfully: "It's from the call platform, this platform can change the original mobile phone number to any number through the guò platform server, if you want to track this signal, I need to go back to the bureau." ”
Li Jing raised his head when he heard this and said: "I'll go back with Xiaozhi and you, Mr. Du, please don't be impatient, I will do my best to deal with Sister Ling's affairs, and I will inform you if there is any progress." If the other party calls again, try to delay the time, and if the other party has any requests, please come down first, and then contact us as much as possible. ”
"Is my sister dangerous?" Du Tao stopped Li Jing and asked.
Li Jing looked at him: "I don't know, but if she is really in danger, I hope to be able to help her get out of danger." ”
Du Tao put his hand down decadently: "I'll just wait here, if there is a result, please be sure to inform me." ”
On the way back to the police station, Li Jing whispered to Shi Hao: "Shi Hao, help me check the missing cases that have not been closed in recent years, and see if there is a situation similar to what Du Tao said, and if so, sort it out for me." ”
Shi Hao showed a surprised expression, but he still responded.
Li Jing turned to me again: "Xiaozhi, help me check how many nameless corpses have been found in the news on the Internet recently, and if the victim is a woman, focus on helping me mark it." ”
"Okay." I also turned on the mini laptop that I had with me.
Li Jing asked Shi Hao for the contact information that Du Tao gave him just now, and then left us and walked to the technical team.
An hour later, because of the results of my investigation and that of Shi Hao, the case had escalated into a serial murder case. Now in the conference room, there are three people from me, Shi Hao, and Li Jing, who have added Team Xiao and Teacher Lu.
Shi Hao used a projection to show us the results of his investigation: "If you count the current case, a total of 5 similar cases have been found in the system, and the reporter said that his relatives were kidnapped and received a mysterious phone call, without mentioning the amount of extortion, leaving only a sentence 'Your relatives are in my hands', and then hung up the phone." The number is dialed through the guò network platform and cannot be called back. ”
The victims, all females under the age of 25, had thick brown hair.
Li Jing looked at the photo and asked Shi Hao: "How long is the difference between the time when the victim was killed and the time when the family received the call?" ”
Shi Hao scrolled the mouse, pointed to a list and replied, "Within 48 hours." I did a time to die statistic. The first victim was killed 48 hours after her family received a call, with the cause of death being a fatal stab wound to the abdomen; The second victim was also killed 48 hours after the family received the call, and the method of death was the same as the first one, which was also an abdominal assassination, and the third person died about 40 hours after the family received the call, and her cause of death was heart failure, and later the family claimed the body when they said that the third victim had congenital heart disease; The fourth victim died 30 hours after the family received the call, and the cause of death was still an assassination in the abdomen. ”
"The time of the murder is getting shorter and shorter for the family to receive the reminder call." Team Xiao said as he looked at the report.
Mr. Lu agreed with Team Xiao's opinion: "From a simple analysis, it must be the reason why the third deceased died of heart failure broke the suspect's plan and made him feel that things were out of his control." The premature death of the third victim caused a mental irritation to him, so the killing of the fourth victim was accelerated. Shi Hao, did you find any clues on the bodies of these victims? ”
Shi Hao shook his head: "No." There were obvious stab wounds to the knees and arms, indicating that the suspect had been involved in a struggle before he was killed, and there was dirt in his fingernails, presumably the victim was held in a non-urban area before being killed. There were food residues in the abdomen, and these victims were not threatened with starvation before they were killed. When the victims were found, they were all wearing makeup and changing clothes. The family confirmed that the clothes were not the clothes worn by the victims. In addition, no traces of assault were found on the victim's lower body. ”
After listening to Shi Hao's description, Li Jing turned his head and asked me, "Xiaozhi, have you found any clues here?" ”
I jumped to the projection to my findings: "There are no similar cases." But I looked this up. "I pulled down a little bit and a link to a web page appeared.
"What is this?" Teacher Lu asked me.
I open the link: "A link to a forum." Every time there is a nameless victim, someone will send a post soliciting clues, and it just so happened that I also found the posts of the above four victims, I typed a few keywords in the search bar, and the posts popped up one by one. Among the clues of the two deceased, netizens saw a white SUV without a license plate parked on the side of the road for a long time near the place where the body was abandoned late the night before. ”
"Do the other clues overlap?" Li Jing asked.
I took screenshots of the words of several netizens and answered Li Jing's question: "If you count the time of the current white SUV, it is around one o'clock in the middle of the night. According to these netizens themselves, but because they drank too much at the party, they didn't come out of the practice room until more than one o'clock at night, but because they were drunk, they couldn't remember the license plate number. But I think that's a clue. ”
