Chapter 23: Serial disappearances
"The missing person's name is Ye Xiaoling," in the conference room, Zhao Canliang, the captain of the second team, was using the big screen to explain the case to the detectives, "21 years old this year, a student of Whale City Maritime University.
She goes to school during the day and goes to a spiritual training class on Luzhu Road at night to train, and then returns to school after training.
The school is less than two kilometres away from the course, so she walks back after each day of training.
"We've seen all the surveillance videos," Zhao said, pointing to screenshots on the big screen, "and now it's confirmed that Ye Xiaoling left the training class at 9 p.m., and then disappeared from the surveillance and didn't return to school."
"The roommate in the same dormitory called her last night, but found that Ye Xiaoling's mobile phone had been turned off. This morning, I didn't see Ye Xiaoling coming to school, so I notified the school and called the police!"
When introducing this, Zhao Canliang paused and glanced at Fang Qi, what it meant was to ask Fang Qi, it was time for him, the detective, to speak.
However, Fang Qi seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't take a stubble.
There was no way, Zhao Canliang had to continue to introduce: "Before this, there have been 3 similar cases of missing girls in the MD district and the orchid district!"
"If it is really a serial disappearance, Ye Xiaoling should be the fourth missing person.
"We have checked the information before," Zhao Canliang switched the screen on the big screen, showing the information of the first 3 missing people, "It was found that these 4 missing people have 3 common characteristics:
"First, they are all girls of the Holy Light Clan in their 20s;
"Second, they are all very beautiful and have outstanding figures;
"Third, all of them have been trained in spiritual power training classes......
Speaking of this, Zhao Canliang paused again and turned his gaze to Fang Qi again.
However, Fang Qi was still in a state of steady.
"Well...... Zhao Canliang had no choice but to continue again, pointing to the information of the missing person and said, "We have checked, and the family conditions of these four missing girls are average, or even very poor.
"Moreover, no one has made a ransom call to the family so far, so the possibility of kidnapping for ransom has been ruled out......
After speaking, he looked at Fang Qi for the third time.
However, Fang Qi remained unresponsive.
At this time, Long Xiaoyang next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Hey, Inspector, Inspector Fang!"
"Huh?" Fang Qi struck a spirit, as if waking up from a dream.
Seeing Fang Qi's state, the agents present frowned, in everyone's opinion, Fang Qi was obviously distracted, and as usual, he didn't take this case to heart at all.
"Detective, ...... you look," Zhao Canliang hurriedly said, "Now is the critical moment to investigate the treasure ship case, and our team still has a task!
"Yes," said one of the agents of the second group, "the disappearance of such a thing, in fact, the public security bureau can handle it, the girls can't think about it, and it's normal to run away from home!"
"You can't trouble our detective bureau for everything, can you?"
"What did you say?" Suddenly, Fang Qi actually stood up from his seat and shouted at the people just now, "You guys are shirking their responsibilities, right?"
Fang Qi's heavy drinking caught the detectives off guard, and the scene was silent.
"There are already 4 girls missing, is this your attitude?" Fang Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Since this case is not a kidnapping...... Don't you think it's possible that this is a serial murder case?
"These 4 girls may have been brutally murdered by the murderer!?"
"This ......"
When Fang Qi said this, the detectives were ashamed.
"Put yourself in your shoes, if that missing girl is your own daughter, or your own sister, what will you be in a hurry?" Fang Qi said again, "What is the responsibility of our detective bureau?"
"If we can't even protect a missing girl, then what face do we have?
"In my opinion, investigating this serial disappearance case is more important than the treasure ship case, you know!?"
As Fang Qi's tone intensified, the detectives hurriedly saluted with their hands on their chests.
"Captain Zhao," Fang Qi asked Zhao Canliang, "What level are these four missing girls, are they all spirit masters?"
"No, um......" Zhao Canliang hurriedly replied, "We asked the training class, and their cultivation time is still short, and they are far from reaching the level of a spirit master. ”
"They are all training in the spiritual power training class,......" Fang Qi asked again, "Is it the same training class?"
"No!" Zhao Canliang shook his head, "It's far away......"
"So......" Fang Qi asked again, "Do the four missing girls know each other, and are there any connections between their families?"
"This ......" Zhao Canliang's head was sweating, "I'm sorry, Detective, the time is too tight, and I haven't had time to check yet." ”
"Also," Fang Qi said again, "find out the address books of these four people, check the phone numbers, and see if they had any unusual calls before they disappeared!"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Canliang didn't dare to look up.
"Also," Fang Qi ordered again, "Have you ever heard of the golden 24 hours? 24 hours is the golden time to find the missing, so we must make good use of every minute to get the missing back as soon as possible!"
Fang Qi is best at detective scripts, and he often worked with the police force before, so he is familiar with the police force's business.
However, in the detective bureau of this world, there are obvious differences in the way of handling cases, so the detectives feel refreshed by Fang Qi's thinking, and they all listen to it.
"So," Fang Qi said, "we have to focus on Ye Xiaoling, who has just disappeared, expand the scope of the search, and investigate all the information related to Ye Xiaoling!"
"Do everything you can to find the child!
"If it's too late, a flower-like life may wither, and our conscience will be disturbed!"
"Yes...... But......" Zhao Canliang said in embarrassment, "What about the treasure ship case?" Captain Cui Yao also sent a mission to our second team. Also, I don't have enough people!
"You also know that although there are many detectives, there are only a few who can really go to the front line!"
"It's okay!" Fang Qi said solemnly, "I'll inform Cui Yao and ask him to call you some more people!"
"And ......" Fang Qi looked at the agents present, and said, "I am also with you, this operation is under my personal command!"
"Ah, won't it?" Long Xiaoyang was startled, it stands to reason that it was just an ordinary disappearance case, and it was impossible for the detective to come out in person.
However, seeing Fang Qi's resolute attitude, Long Xiaoyang still didn't dare to dissuade him, and hurriedly said like a sycophant: "It seems that my temporary secretary has to continue to be a temporary secretary!
"No need!" Fang Qi waved his hand and said, "The four disappearances are all related to the spiritual power training class, so I'm going to go to Ye Xiaoling's training class now—take a !! trip."
