Chapter 2: The Clues Behind the Disappearance

"Very important clue." Mr. Lu praised, "You can first check the owners of white SUVs registered in the city and check them one by one." ”

Team Xiao took a look at a few of us: "It is preliminarily determined that it is a serial murder case, and I have given instructions to the leaders to set up a special team." Teacher Lu also said just now that the current suspect should be stimulated, and it is very likely that he will speed up his crime, and we will try our best to find the girl Du Ting, who is now missing, within 24 hours of the suspect's call. ”

We all agreed with Team Xiao's opinion, and Team Xiao began to assign tasks when they saw that we had no objections: "Shi Hao still continues to track the information and check the call information as much as possible." The phone calls received by the families of the four victims should also be used as a reference, and the geographical location of the calls should be ascertained as much as possible. This may help us to determine the geographical location of the missing person's detention. ”

Team Xiao looked at me and Li Jing again: "Xiaozhi and Li Jing went to the homes of the previous victims to investigate and try to find relevant clues, and Mr. Lu and I will sift through all the files of the previous cases here." ”

Teacher Lu made tea for himself: "Fortunately, several of the dead were found in the original, which means that we still have a chance to save Du Ting, but from the time Du Tao received the call, we only have 24 hours now." So, guys, please. ”

If we went door-to-door, we might not have enough time, so after summing up, Li Jing and I decided to invite all the families of the previous four victims to the police station to do another investigation, so as to not only save time, but also find other common points in the case through the interaction between the families of Guò. Before waiting for the arrival of the family, Li Jing and I decided to read the dossier with Mr. Lu.

The victim in the first case was a 19-year-old first-year college student who was killed when he was out singing with his new classmates at the beginning of his school year. According to the transcript at the time, the first victim did not arrive at the practice room at the appointed time, that is, the first victim disappeared from the moment he left the house.

The second victim, 25, was a reporter for an entertainment newspaper who disappeared before attending a preview screening of a movie that did not show her up.

The third victim, a 22-year-old fashion designer who was a graduate student in design at a prestigious fashion college, was supposed to participate in a fashion design competition on the day of the murder, but did not attend that day, and also disappeared on the way from the dormitory to the venue.

The fourth victim, 24, was a recent student who had just returned to China, had no job for the time being, and disappeared on his way to a birthday party for his former friend.

According to the recollections of their families, several of the victims had no signs of emotional disorders before their disappearance. After comparing several investigation records, several victims did not know each other, and the fourth victim had just returned to China and had not yet established complex social relationships, so they did not find common ground for the time being. It seems that we can only hope for the next family visits.

The families of several of the victims arrived quickly, arriving at the police station in less than an hour, and their main concern was who was the killer of their loved ones. But when Li Jing told them about the police investigation and told them that they had asked them to come over to help another girl get out of danger, several family members were visibly deflated.

The father of the second victim looked desperate: "Don't get your hopes up, I searched the whole city back then, but I couldn't find my nannan. You guys, alas. The families of several other victims also nodded in agreement.

I had already expected such a scene, Li Jing and I were not too panicked, Li Jing closed the notepad in his hand, and said indifferently: "Now that we have found a girl missing, her brother is anxious to find us, and we can help him find the missing girl, I think everyone here must be able to understand his feelings, right?" To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I'll be able to find that girl right now, but I still want to save this girl's life. According to our profile, the murderer committed the crime again, indicating that this girl has some similarities with your loved ones. This murderer is not killing one person, but a group, and in his eyes, all the victims he kills are the same, so he destroys the lives of others again and again. I also know that you want to bring the murderer to justice, so this may be an opportunity from heaven for us to find him through the clues given by everyone and avenge our loved ones. It is also to stop him from killing more innocent lives. So, I sincerely hope that all of you here can give me clues, this girl, although not related to you by blood, is also a sister, sister, daughter and granddaughter in the family, not to mention that she also has similarities with your lost relatives. So, helping this girl is like making up for the departure that we didn't stop. I sincerely hope for the cooperation of all of you. ”

The family members of several victims looked at each other, and finally the mother of the first victim raised her hand, and I remember that my daughter suddenly decided not to dye her hair before she disappeared, and I asked her why, and she said that the person she liked liked was the one who didn't have natural tan hair. “

Tan hair? Isn't that a sign of a suspect's selection of victims? Li Jing and I glanced at each other, and Li Jing immediately asked, "Auntie, did your daughter tell you who the person she liked?" ”

Auntie shook her head: "I asked her, but she never said, I think she is already 18 years old, I don't want to interfere in many things, he doesn't want to say, I didn't ask, but who would have thought ......" The mother choked up in the middle of speaking, he should blame himself in his heart for his negligence to guide the girl to go missing, I sat next to her and whispered comfort her.

The sister of the third victim told us that his sister had praised the cultivation of a boy she had recently met in front of her family before she was killed, and had hoped that her sister would meet the boy, but because of her sister's murder, she had never seen the boy after all. The father of the second victim had little clue in this regard, but the victim's mother recalled that her daughter appeared to be dating a boy they had not met before she was killed.

"Did your relatives go to a place they didn't know well about a month or two before they were killed?"

The family members of several victims shook their heads, and the first victim was a student, so his social relations were simple, and he would report to his family where he usually went out to play. However, because they usually live in school and only go home on weekends, it is not particularly clear to the family whether they have been to other places during the school period. The second victim is a reporter from the entertainment media, with complex social relationships and a very mixed place, so he can't tell where he met the victim's boyfriend with his career. The third victim had a heart condition, and with the exception of some exhibitions and competitions, she usually did designs at school and at home, and never went to any special places. The fourth victim had just returned to China one month before he was killed, and he had not been to any suspicious places. At first glance, the hobbies and daily lives of the four victims basically do not intersect, and the possibility of meeting the same suspect is also very small, so how did they get selected by the suspect? I drew a big question mark in my mind.

Li Jing called Du Tao, and five minutes later, Du Tao rushed to the small conference room that he had temporarily borrowed to receive the victim's family.

"Did you find a clue?" The first thing Du Tao said when he ran in was to ask Li Jing if he had any news about his sister.

Li Jing first pressed him into a chair to let him breathe, and then asked him: "Not for the time being, but just now we learned some news from the families of the previous victims." You first answer me two questions: first, did your sister say anything about who she was dating before she disappeared? Second, can you help me write out the places you know your sister Du Ting usually goes to? ”

Du Tao finally panted evenly, looked at Li Jing and said: "My sister attaches great importance to her own **, she didn't tell me that she had a relationship with others; The place she frequented, I told the local police station the first time I called the police. ”

The particle size gave me a look, and I hurried to the archives to borrow the records.

Du Tao looked around the reception room and found that several people who were sitting in tears were staring at him intently, and he looked at Li Jing incredulously. Li Jing sighed: "These are the families of some of the previous victims I just mentioned, the reason why I need your sister to go to the place often is that I hope they can find common ground from these addresses, so that we can confirm the suspect and rescue your sister as much as possible." ”

"Other victims?" Du Tao was obviously frightened by Li Jing's words just now, and asked intermittently, "Then, what happened to those victims?" ”

Du Tao turned his gaze to the few people sitting opposite, they all turned their eyes away, Du Tao seemed to understand something, but he still looked at Li Jing without giving up, as if he wanted to hear a different answer.

Li Jing looked at Du Tao, then at several other people present, and beat his eyes: "I was killed by the suspect." ”

"What about my sister?" Du Tao obviously couldn't accept such a result.

"We'll do our best." Li Jing can only comfort him like this now.

Du Tao looked at the few people opposite, and suddenly bowed deeply to them: "My request may be a little difficult for strong people, but my sister's matter, please help me." ”
