"The deceased, Hu Xiaodie, was twenty-four years old and a native of the provincial capital. Her parents said she didn't come home on June 24, but she usually did it occasionally, and they didn't rush to look for her that night. The next day, they called the daughter and the phone couldn't get through, they called the people in their daughter's company, saying that she didn't go to work, and the second elder asked all the daughter's friends, and they were really worried, so they went to the police station on the evening of the 25th to report the case. ”

Du Meili took a sip of water when she said this, and Da Zhuang took over.

Hu Xiaodie came out to work after finishing secondary school, sold clothes, worked as a cosmetics teller, because she was beautiful, and also worked as a model for a period of time, and made a wide range of friends, mostly men. The most recent job was as a secretary in a company, and she had only been doing it for less than three months, and before the probationary period had expired, she suddenly didn't go to the company, and the people in the company thought she didn't do it, and they didn't care. ”

As soon as Bao Zhan heard the words "making a wide range of friends", his head was big.

"The police have visited her before, and her friends said that they had not seen her that night, but provided some places where she would go, including many bars. The company's police also went to ask, and the various places where the bar KTV played were simple visits, and nothing was found for the time being. ”

Everyone understands what Meili said, the disappearance case is different from the criminal case, the police visit has no direction, and you can't suspect people casually, just looking for whereabouts.

"In this kind of missing case, sometimes there is no news, but it is ......good news," Ding Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Now they have reported the news to Hu Xiaodie's parents, but it is the news that their daughter was killed, and it may not be possible to find it in the parents' hearts.

Ying Mingyu remembered that Lu Qianqian said that her mother disappeared when she was a child, and there has been no news for so many years.

"Without further ado, find out the entire whereabouts of the deceased from the 24th to the 25th, and determine as soon as possible the exact time of her disappearance, as well as the last person I met. The line of bars and entertainment venues went to follow alone, and when it was found that there was indeed alcohol in the body, this may be the last place where the deceased appeared. ”

After finishing speaking, Ying Mingyu assigned manpower, he and Ding Yuan's group went to follow the clues of the bar, and Bao Zhan and Da Zhuang's group went to find out their whereabouts, including parents, friends, and companies.

Ying Mingyu and Ding Yuan are not easy to do, there are many names of shops on the list, they are widely distributed, and most of these places now have their own monitoring, so it is difficult to distinguish if something happens. They ran and looked at the surveillance, holding the photos and asking the clerk if they had seen it.

This Hu Xiaodie is good-looking, and may have suffered because of this, and now his face has been ruined and his life has been sent. Ding Yuan couldn't help but sigh every time he looked at the photo.

They were busy until after dinner, and many people were busy in this kind of place, and no one had time to pay attention to them if they wanted to ask, and the answer was even more perfunctory.

The two went back to rest after dinner, Ying Mingyu entered the house, almost thought that he was in the wrong place, and then saw Lu Qianqian, who was still coloring behind the painting case, and knew that he had really arrived home.

Ying Mingyu didn't bother her, she took her clothes and took a shower first, and when she came out with a towel to wipe her hair, she leaned over to take a look.

Lu Qianqian's drawing is quite large, there are three pieces of A4 paper put together as big, he looks at the lotus leaf lotus pond, she is coloring a full lotus flower, and it is also the largest one in the painting.

"What's the latest job?" Seeing that she put the pen to adjust the color, Ying Mingyu asked.

Lu Qianqian turned her head and saw that he was wearing short pajama pants and his shirt was not draped over his shoulders, and she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

"You're back? This was drawn for someone else, and it was used as the original picture for the cover of the novel. ”

"Do you have to draw this big for the cover?" Although Ying Mingyu didn't understand, he felt a little wasteful.

"This is the original picture, and the designer will extract the material from it at that time, and it is better to draw the whole picture, so as not to have to make up and change it when you get it." Lu Qianqian stretched her waist, she didn't feel that she had been painting for too long, and she found that she was tired when she moved.

Ying Mingyu looked at the lotus flower seriously, and couldn't help but bow down and sniff the drawing paper, "It's so fragrant." ”

"This ink with incense, do you like the taste?"

"How much is this painting worth if you're done?" Ying Mingyu didn't explain, he wasn't talking about ink incense.

Lu Qianqian smiled, looked at the first draft and said, "I haven't finished painting yet, let's go to one place first, and I'll show others the first sample tomorrow, but ...... How much do you think it's worth? ”

"Me?" Ying Mingyu opened his mouth and said, "If you sell it to me, I am willing to pay 20,000 yuan." ”

Lu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at him.

"You won't sell it to me anyway." After Ying Mingyu finished speaking, he walked to his room, went in and fell asleep on the bed.

Bao Zhan and Da Zhuang comforted Hu Xiaodie's parents for a long time, but Hu's mother was still crying and couldn't speak, Hu's father wiped his tears and reluctantly said: "My family is usually at home, and she said that Xiaodie got up to work as usual on the morning of the 24th, and there was nothing abnormal. She has not been in a good mood in the last few days, and when she was very happy at the beginning of this job, she is about to turn positive, but her mood fluctuates a lot. ”

"Did she say what happened in the company?"

Father Hu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Her mother asked her, she usually doesn't talk to us much, and I don't know if it's the company's business, or the boyfriend's business, I'm sorry, I may have to trouble you to ask her friends." ”

"Although she is single now, she is very beautiful, will she still worry about finding a boyfriend?" Bao Zhan also thought that a beauty like Hu Xiaodie could worry about work and money at most, or it was the relationship between relatives and friends.

Fluttershy had two boyfriends before, and both of them were brought home, and to be honest, neither my mother nor I was very happy...... She hadn't studied much, and most of her classmates and friends who were good with her were married and had children, so she was a little anxious to find someone better than them. ”

Bao Zhan and Da Zhuang glanced at each other, this is easy to understand, beautiful girls are inevitably more ambitious, want to marry better, want to compare with others, human nature.

They didn't bother the Hu family's parents anymore, and after saying goodbye, they went to visit Hu Xiaodie's two best friends according to the list and contact information given by their parents, in fact, the police had already visited before.

"Fluttershy and I are best friends, but a girl's friendship is nothing more than shopping together, eating together and talking about men." Qin Shenhua, a female friend, began, "The meal we had together at noon on the 24th......"

"Why didn't the police say that?" As soon as Da Zhuang heard this, he became angry.

"At the time, I said that Fluttershy was missing, and I thought she was just running out to play, and it was too much trouble for the police to ask about it, so I didn't say anything." Qin Shenhua didn't care.

"It's okay, could you please tell me in detail, how was she doing that day, is there anything abnormal?" Bao Zhan pulled Da Zhuang and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

"She's not been in a good mood lately, and the reason why we're on a good relationship is actually because I'm not married yet. She has been talking about who got married and had children recently, and what is the big deal about marrying her husband who is a civil servant, probably because she is unhappy about this. It was the same at noon that day, she scolded while eating, and I asked her to come, she said before that she would have a new boyfriend soon, I asked her how she was now, and she was even more unhappy, probably blowing. ”

"Oh, did she tell me about this new boyfriend?" When Bao Zhan heard it, he felt that there was a play, so he hurriedly asked.

"I think it's someone she met in her new job, probably a colleague, but that's my guess." Qin Shenhua looked at Bao Zhan and nodded to signal her to continue, and she said, "It was a month or two ago, she changed to a serious job, and it is generally difficult to find that kind of regular company with an education like ours." ”

"In a high-end office building in the center of the city, I saw it once at the door, and the people inside were all dressed in formal clothes and looked amazing." After pouting, Qin Shenhua continued, "After Fluttershy joined the company, she was in a very good mood, telling me that the general manager was a young and promising handsome guy, and the company's colleagues were very good. So I guessed that I must have met a good man in the company. ”

"We'll consider your ideas, thank you very much. There is another thing I want to ask, do you know that Hu Xiaodie has tattoos? ”

"Not only do we know that we got tattooed together, but the tattoo artist had a crush on Fluttershy and didn't take any money from her."

"When?"

"Two or three years ago."

Bao Zhan was disappointed, and after thanking her again, the two went to find Hu Xiaodie's other friend Huang Shizhu, who thought that it would be a spare tire and would not have much information, but the result was unexpected.

"I know that Fluttershy was introduced to the company, a man she met at a bar, a designer." Huang Shizhu knows much better than Qin Shenhua, so that Bao Zhan even wants to believe that there is a pure friendship between men and women in this world, "The surname is Ding, it seems that he is chasing Fluttershy, but Fluttershy has a better crush on a better one, it is the general manager of the company, Mr. Liu, I don't know what it is called." ”

"Then she's been in a bad mood lately because the relationship isn't going well? Did she contact you on the night of the 24th of last month? ”

Huang Shizhu shook his head: "I called the day before and said that I was unhappy, it seems that the work is not going well, or it may be that the progress with Mr. Liu is not going well, but they have known each other for a short time, and they have not yet reached the level of dating." ”

He was routinely asked when he had last seen Hu Xiaodie, and after his whereabouts that night, Bao Zhan and Da Zhuang left.

They went non-stop to the company where Hu Xiaodie last worked: Jincheng Decoration Design Co., Ltd. As Qin Shenhua said, on the thirteenth floor of a high-end office building in the city center, the signboard is very designed, and the company is not big.

I went in and asked the front desk, and the front desk led them to meet the company's administration, and on the way they saw that there were few people in the company, and there were two or three scattered people.

"Mr. Liu hasn't come back from a business trip yet, some employees have gone to see the house, and some have made an appointment with customers to see the picture, so there is no one in the company today, why don't you come back tomorrow?" The executive is a middle-aged woman who politely and thoughtfully pushes them.

As soon as Bao Zhan heard it, he knew that it was estimated that the boss was not there, so the following pigeons were released. He took a look at the staff roster, and there was a designer surnamed Ding, named Ding Zhanpeng, he asked if he was there, and the administration said that he had gone to meet the customer. They asked some more about Hu Xiaodie, and the administrative agent said that not long after Hu Xiaodie joined the company, she didn't know very well, so she pushed it four or five or six cleanly.

They went to ask a few people in the company, as well as the front desk, when did Hu Xiaodie leave the company on the 24th, everyone said that they didn't pay attention, and the front desk said that she clocked in and left as soon as she got off work, and left before everyone else, and didn't know anything.

It seems that the boss is not there, they can't ask anything, no one is there, and the time is almost the point to get off work, so the two have to leave first, preparing to come back the next day.
