Chapter Eighty-Four: Missing
After the heavy rain, it was dark in Nuhai City, and Mo Yuanshan returned to the outside of Xu Jiao's hotel in Nanyuan District, where neon was still flashing on the signboard of "Yi Hong, Fast Green", but the door of the hotel was locked.
Mo Yuanshan took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Jiao's phone, but no one answered on the other end of the phone, three times in a row.
In Mo Yuanshan's heart, Xu Jiao has rarely gone out in the middle of the night, and if she wants to leave Nuhai City, Xu Jiao will also inform her in advance.
Mo Yuanshan retreated to the bottom of the building outside the door, looked up, and saw that all the five-story hotels were blackly lit, and the few shops behind him had already closed, only the rows of neon signs on the street were still lit.
A sense of foreboding struck suddenly.
Mo Yuanshan hurriedly untied the key on his waist, opened the door of the hotel and entered, hurriedly went up to the top floor, and came to open the door of his room.
Since Mo Yuanshan bailed Xu Jiao out of the bureau last month, Xu Jiao has been living with Mo Yuanshan.
Seeing that everything in the room was neatly placed, the bits and pieces with Xu Jiao appeared in front of Mo Yuanshan's eyes.
But at this moment, Mo Yuanshan suddenly felt that this room was so deserted.
Without the hug and whisper that Xu Jiao rushed up to, without the temperature given by Xu Jiao, Mo Yuanshan immediately shuddered.
Countless questions surfaced in Mo Yuanshan's mind.
In the middle of the night, where did Xu Jiao go? Why didn't she leave a message for herself before leaving? Could it be that something happened to her?
Thinking of this, Mo Yuanshan's heart suddenly became nervous, and he couldn't help blurting out, "Jiaojiao!"
In the dead of night, there was not a single guest in the entire hotel, and Mo Yuanshan's shouts actually echoed in the corridor.
Mo Yuanshan hurriedly turned around, went to the door of the room where Xu Jiao used to live, and pressed the thumb of his right hand on the infrared scanner.
Xu Jiao's room door was installed with a fingerprint password lock, and with a tick sound, the room door opened, and the voice-activated light also lit up.
Mo Yuanshan hurriedly walked into the room, but there was no Xu Jiao in the room.
The room has been converted into a living room, with a large sofa leaning against the east side and a classically elegant coffee table with a teapot and a cup and a book in the center, bookshelves against the wall on the south side, and a smart TV hanging on the west wall, and a vase and water dispenser in the corner.
Mo Yuanshan quickly glanced at the room, his heartbeat had already accelerated, he turned around sharply and walked out of the door of the room, and came towards the small garden on the north side of the roof.
But the small garden on the top of the building is deserted, where is Xu Jiao's shadow, as far as the eye can see, only the lights of Nuhai City are dim.
The night breeze blew slowly, Mo Yuanshan sneezed a few times in a row, so he had to go back to his room, open the wardrobe at the head of the bed, take out the set of jeans that Xu Jiao bought for him, and change the wet clothes on his body.
Looking at the neatly folded quilt and double pillows on the big bed, it was obvious that Xu Jiao was not in this room before leaving.
Mo Yuanshan suddenly remembered the book on the coffee table in the living room, so he hurried into the living room again, and picked up the book on the coffee table, but it was a fat review of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Mo Yuanshan opened the book carefully, flipped through it, and saw that a page was folded in the middle of the book, and a few crooked words were scribbled on the footer - "Deshan Cemetery".
Mo Yuanshan was shocked, and immediately found that these words were not Xu Jiao's handwriting.
Several thoughts flashed through Mo Yuanshan's mind.
"What kind of person actually came to Xu Jiao's house, and left such a message in this book that Xu Jiao often reads? Since the death of Ergouzi, Xu Jiao will never allow any stranger to enter this room except herself. Could it be that Xu Jiao was kidnapped!"
When Mo Yuanshan thought of this, his heart became irritable, and he couldn't help but feel hot and sweaty.
Looking at the words "Deshan Cemetery" at the foot of the page in this book, Mo Yuanshan forced his composure, trying to calm his restless mood.
Mo Yuanshan opened the drawer of the coffee table, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, took out a cigarette and lit it, sat on the sofa and took two puffs, and roughly flipped through the book in his hand, but he found nothing in the book except for a few handwritten "Deshan Cemetery" at the foot of the folded page.
Mo Yuanshan stood up irritably, extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the garbage basket, pacing back and forth in the room, checking everything in the house.
Mo Yuanshan put the book back on the coffee table, touched the teacup and teapot on the coffee table, it was cold, there was no temperature, so he picked up the teacup again and smelled the residual tea in the teacup.
Although the tea in the teacup has long been out of temperature, there is no smell of tea that has been left for a long time.
Mo Yuanshan took a slight sip of the tea in the teacup, with a heavy bitterness.
It was originally a very light cup of green tea, with only a few tea leaves in the cup.
Mo Yuan's expression was solemn suddenly, and he deduced that the brewing time of this cup of tea should be yesterday at noon, and more than ten hours should have passed from this time.
Time began to flow back in Mo Yuanshan's mind.
More than ten hours ago, it should have been when Mo Yuanshan and Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Nuhai City University from Kyoto County, happened to see Kong De's memorial service, and followed the hearse all the way to Deshan Cemetery.
The strange mother and son at the memorial service, as well as the car accident on the way, a series of bizarre things came to Mo Yuanshan's mind.
Thinking of this, Mo Yuanshan made a bold assumption.
He and Lin Xiaoxiao's investigation of Kong De has touched the bottom line of some people behind the scenes.
If all this is because he and Lin Xiaoxiao went to Lei Yingshan to investigate Kong De's affair, Kong De's secret has been discovered by the two, he is Yang Guodong who mysteriously disappeared back then, and this Kong De is really like his own speculation, in fact, he is not dead, it is really terrible! He is very likely to be the mastermind behind the secret group who has been controlling the secret group behind the scenes for many years and monitoring the "Providence Project". And the message left at the foot of this book, as well as Xu Jiao's sudden disappearance, is a threat or hint to himself.
Mo Yuanshan hurriedly returned to his bedroom, pushed open the bedside table against the wall, and there was a small safe embedded in the wall behind the cabinet.
The safe is an old-fashioned mechanical combination lock, and to open this combination lock, in addition to knowing the password, the unlocking technique is also very important.
Mo Yuanshan lowered his body, calmed down, and opened the safe very skillfully.
In addition to a few hundred-dollar bills, there were several valuable gold and silver jewelry and a small iron box.
Mo Yuanshan looked at the things inside, and it was the same, so he took out the iron box and opened it.
Inside the iron box turned out to be a pistol and six lancet throwing knives.
The flying knife was neatly inserted in a palm-sized holster, which was Mo Yuanshan's thing.
And this pistol, Mo Yuanshan clearly remembers, was given to Mo Yuanshan by the second dog before he died.
Mo Yuanshan took out the pistol, withdrew the magazine, took off the bullets in the magazine one by one, and carefully loaded them one by one, a total of six rounds.
