Lying and silence can be said to be the two major evils that are spreading in human society today. In fact, we often lie and are silent at every turn - Haruki Murakami

Colleagues from various police stations quickly sent these related case files over, the files are not thick, and some even have only one or two thin pages, and every police officer who came to deliver materials was very puzzled, why did CSY suddenly pay so much attention to the case of the disappearance of the underage girl? Are they investigating cases related to missing persons?

Xu Lang didn't give them an answer, and when they handed the materials to Xu Lang, Xu Lang didn't even say thank you, took the materials from them, and even grabbed the materials, and looked at them directly.

Xu Lang's desk was piled up one after another, and there were dozens of materials sent by colleagues from various police stations, among these dozens of materials, all of which were the case files of the disappearance of those children.

On Saturday, February 18, light rain, the informant Chen Guihong, her twelve-year-old daughter who is in the sixth grade at the No. 7 Primary School in Chengxi District, Yuan Fangfang disappeared, and only went home alone the next day, her whole body was dirty, with multiple injuries, her lower body was red and swollen, accompanied by bleeding, there were many traces of pinching and biting on her body, and there were signs of being slapped on her face, suspected of being sexually assaulted, and the little girl was very frightened, and refused to cooperate in the face of the physical examination proposed by the police.

February 28th, Tuesday, sunny, the informant Li Xiaorui, her eleven-year-old daughter who is in the fifth grade at the No. 8 Experimental Primary School in Chengdong District, Tang Qianqian disappeared at noon on the 27th, and returned home in the evening of the next day.

On Tuesday, March 7, Xiaoyu, the informant Li Jun, his twelve-year-old daughter who was in the sixth grade at the No. 5 Experimental Primary School in Chengnan District, Li Xiaoman disappeared on the afternoon of the 5th, and on the morning of the third day, his parents frantically searched for a day and two nights, and when they returned home tired, they found a naked little girl at the corner of the stairs of the community where they lived, and Li Xiaoman was also suspected of being sexually assaulted.

April 20th, Thursday, yin, the informant Xu Zhibin, his thirteen-year-old daughter who studied in the first year of junior high school in the tenth junior primary school in Chengzhong District, Xu Fanfan disappeared on the night of the 17th, the school thought that the child had run home secretly and did not go to class, so it notified his family, and his family did not find that Xu Fanfan had gone home, and after some searching, he learned that Xu Fanfan was missing, and on the afternoon of the 20th, Xu Fanfan appeared, suspected of being sexually assaulted.

On Wednesday, April 26, heavy rain, the informant Du Jianbin, his twelve-year-old daughter who studied in the sixth grade of the Second Experimental Primary School in Chengbei District, Du Yu disappeared on the 24th, and was found naked from the garbage heap the next day, suspected of being sexually assaulted.

On Sunday, May 7, Xiaoyu, the informant Li Mei, her 14-year-old daughter in the second year of junior high school in Chengxi District's No. 12 Junior Primary School, Zhou Xiaomei disappeared on the 5th, and returned home the next day, naked, suspected of being sexually assaulted.

On Wednesday, June 14, the informant Wang Xinhu, his 12-year-old daughter who is in the sixth grade at the 13th Primary School in Chengzhong District, Wang Yuyan, disappeared on the 11th, and returned home the next day, suspected of being sexually assaulted.

Xu Lang looked at the seven case files, his face was unusually gloomy, this is from February to June this year, the case that has been filed and investigated, and it is also the victim's family who took the initiative to report to the police station Seven cases, however, there is no progress in the results of the investigation, whether the seven victimized little girls were really sexually assaulted, because of the victim's own resistance, and the obstruction of his parents, it is impossible to identify, and the seven victims are too frightened, one of them is crazy, and can not accurately describe the appearance and physical characteristics of the murderer.

From these seven case files, Xu Lang found that the murderers described by the seven victims were different.

For example, the murderer described by Yuan Fangfang is a man who looks like two meters, with a vicious appearance, a bandit face, and strong muscles, while the murderer described by Li Xiaoman is not as terrifying as Yuan Fangfang described, the man is one meter seven or eight, obscene, small eyes, very tall, but very thin, and she can't remember exactly what the man looks like.

Even, some victims described the murderer as a monster, not only unusually tall and powerful, but also deformed, a bit like those mutants in today's science fiction movies.

It is impossible for a normal person to look like this, obviously, after the victim was greatly frightened, the impression of the perpetrator was already very vague, and their description was likely to be imagined by them, and the police could not lock up the suspect according to these descriptions, not to mention, from the seven cases that have been discovered, no, plus Zhou Jiamei, a total of eight cases, the murderer committed a wide range of crimes, covering the entire urban area of S City, a total of five districts of S City, all have traces of their crimes, so, The problem arises.

First, were these eight cases of rape of young and female children committed by the same murderer?

Second, if the murderer is the same person, then, did he commit the crime alone, or did he have accomplices and commit the crime together?

Third, what are the specific physical characteristics of the murderer?

Fourth, are there really only eight victims?

In addition to these doubts in his heart, more is Xu Lang's anger, when he saw these files, he really wanted to go to these police stations, the working police to beat up, in just four months, there were eight cases of rape of young women, an average of two per month, and this is the victim reported the case, the police filed a case, so, the victim did not report the case, the police do not know more? What are these police officers doing? Why hasn't it been solved for a long time?

Anger is anger, Xu Lang also quickly calmed down, these eight cases occurred in five districts, except for three in the urban district, the other five cases occurred in the other four districts, and each police station has its own jurisdiction, generally they only deal with cases within their own jurisdiction, not cases within their own jurisdiction, they basically will not deal with them, or they will be handed over to the police station or public security bureau under the jurisdiction of the case to deal with, four districts, except for two cases in Chengxi District, There was no second case in other districts, and it was indeed very difficult for them to solve the case without having enough information, and it was understandable that each police station had a heavy task every day, and there were many things to deal with, and the manpower was not very sufficient.

However, understanding is understanding, looking at these seven files, Xu Lang seemed to see seven children who were still flowers and bones, crying in front of him, which made Xu Lang's heart twitch violently.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Haoqiong and the others came back.

After Luo Jiayan and Lai Pi visited the shops and small vendors at the entrance of the 13th Primary School, they determined that at about half past six in the afternoon of June 22, the students of the school had already gone home from school, Zhou Jiamei came out of the school alone and was picked up by a man pushing a new bicycle, the two stood at the door of the school, chatting and laughing for a while, no one knew what they talked about, it seemed that the two knew each other.

After chatting for a while, the man took Zhou Jiamei to the front of a sugar gourd stall and bought a string of sugar gourds for the little girl, and then, the two of them walked in the direction of the demolition area, along the way, the men were pushing bicycles, and Zhou Jiamei talked and laughed, it seems that they are father and daughter, because there are many students in the school, and there are many children, they are not known to every student and their parents, everyone who saw this scene thought that the man was Zhou Jiamei's father, so they didn't care.

According to the description of those vendors, this man is about thirty years old, with a small flat head, about 1.76 meters tall, medium stature, not fat or thin, and he dresses very casually, because it is summer, the man is wearing a white T-shirt on the upper body, a pair of blue jeans on the lower body, and a pair of white sneakers on his feet.

According to the recollection of the small vendor selling sugar gourds, when the man spoke to him, his tone was not hurried, not arrogant or impatient, and he was very decent.

However, according to the results of these visits and investigations, I can only make a simple simulated portrait of this murderer, who is 1.76 meters tall, medium in size, a little handsome in appearance, with a small flat head, between 25 and 35 years old, when committing the crime, he was wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and pushing a new bicycle, and the bicycle is no different from the general bicycle on the street according to the investigation, it is a bicycle for a few hundred yuan, there is nothing special. The man is very methodical in his speech, calm when committing crimes, and should have a criminal record, or be engaged in some well-connected profession.

However, this portrait is still too vague, in the populous city of S, such a person, walking around the street, can find a large number of out, before the surveillance video does not capture his image, it is difficult to lock the suspect through these.

In addition to visiting shops and small vendors near the school, Luo Jiayan and Lai Pi also found the school's leaders and Zhou Jiamei's homeroom teacher, Cheng Shaohua,

According to Cheng Shaohua's recollection, on the afternoon of the 22nd, after he finished teaching the students and assigning homework, he returned to the teacher's office, cleaned up, and left the school with his things, because it was his mother-in-law's birthday, and he needed to rush over to celebrate his mother-in-law's birthday, and when he left the school, most of the students in the school had already left, and he met Zhou Jiamei at the school gate.

At that time, he saw Zhou Jiamei alone, Chen Xiaohong did not come to pick her up, Cheng Shaohua felt a little uneasy, so he planned to send Zhou Jiamei home first, and then rushed to his mother-in-law's side, but just when he was about to send Zhou Jiamei home, he received a call urging his wife, and when he answered the phone, Zhou Jiamei disappeared, he thought that Zhou Jiamei was afraid of troublesome himself, so he left alone, and after not seeing Zhou Jiamei, he left the school.

At this time, Zhou Jiamei did not leave the school, but returned to the class again and took the textbooks she left in school.

When Cheng Shaohua learned that Zhou Jiamei was raped by gangsters, this teacher in his thirties, but just stumbled, almost fell, and his body trembled sharply, he didn't believe that someone would attack Zhou Jiamei who was still a child.

While feeling incredible, he also felt extremely remorseful, and said vigorously that he blamed himself, if he didn't answer the phone at that time, didn't go first, or contacted Zhou Jiamei's mother and asked her family to pick her up, or sent Zhou Jiamei home, then, Zhou Jiamei would not have encountered such a situation?

Luo Jiayan and the others saw Cheng Shaohua's painful and remorseful expression, and they didn't know whether Cheng Shaohua really felt regret and regret, or if he was acting, and after asking him some relevant information, they left.

For Zhou Jiamei, Cheng Shaohua has a high evaluation, he told Luo Jiayan that Zhou Jiamei is one of the most outstanding students among the students he has bred, and one of the students who reassures him the most.

Even, in the end, Cheng Shaohua said that he was going to send Zhou Jiamei to the best fifth middle school in S City when she graduated from primary school and went to junior high school.

The fifth middle school is indeed the best junior high school in S city, the teaching team here is the best, but also the best, many parents want to send their children to school here, however, the admission score here is very high, not ordinary children can come in, it can be said that the children who can enter the fifth middle school have a 90% chance of being admitted to high school in the future, which shows how strong the teaching team of the fifth middle school is.

Luo Jiayan and the others visited some other people, according to the memories of these people, some people did see that afternoon, Zhou Jiamei and a man left, but they didn't care too much about the relationship between the two, and even, some people didn't see the man's face clearly.

After Luo Jiayan and Lai Pi reported the results of the investigation, Ding Haoqiong and they also found some traces at the demolition site.

According to Chen Xiaohong's description, Ding Haoqiong and they quickly found the demolition site, at that time, the demolition site was being demolished, fortunately Ding Haoqiong and they went early, if it was half an hour late, the scene where Zhou Jiamei was raped would have been bulldozed by bulldozers.

After Ding Haoqiong and the others arrived at the scene, they directly found the person in charge of the demolition site, took out their documents, and asked the demolition work to stop temporarily, and they also entered the scene, went in to take pictures to collect evidence and survey the scene.

The scene is very dirty, full of demolition ruins and garbage, and thick dust, when they found the place where Chen Xiaohong found Zhou Jiamei's clothes, they did see footprints, but not two sets of footprints one large and one small as Chen Xiaohong said, but more than a dozen groups of footprints, these footprints are very messy, and many of the original footprints have been trampled, and most of the footprints have no value for extraction, because there are many footprints, and it is no longer clear which group is the footprints left by the suspect, and Zhou Jiamei's footprints are directly gone.

There were not too many things left at the scene, and when the demolition site was demolished, the action was very large, the dust was all over, and many traces were covered by dust, and Fan Yang used technical equipment to carefully investigate the scene, but finally found some bloodstains that had been mixed with dust at the scene, as for whether the bloodstains were Zhou Jiamei's own or left by others, further testing was needed.

At the scene, Fan Yang and they also extracted a lot of fragments of clothes, and as for whether it was the clothes Zhou Jiamei was wearing that day, it also needed to be compared and analyzed.

In addition to more than a dozen sets of footprints and bloodstains found at the scene, not too many useful things were extracted, such as, fingerprints, hair, human samples, the scene was too dirty, and when Chen Xiaohong found this place yesterday, he asked the demolition workers to help find Zhou Jiamei, leaving footprints and fingerprints everywhere at the scene, which has caused secondary damage to the first crime scene, and there are few things that can be extracted. If there are footprints in the human sample, they must have been left by the suspect.

However, through the investigation of the scene, it is basically determined that the demolition site is the first crime scene where Zhou Jiamei was raped by the suspect, but the scene was seriously damaged, and there are few useful clues that can be collected and extracted, and even the bloodstains extracted from the scene, as well as the fragments of clothes, take a long time when they are brought back for laboratory comparison, and there may not be results.

The case seems to be very clear, that is, Zhou Jiamei was deceived by a strange man on the afternoon of the 22nd on the grounds that Liu Boyang, who did not go to school that day, on the grounds of assigning a focus on learning, and took him to the demolition site and carried out bestiality, but problems also appeared.

Who is this man? Aside from the accounts of a few witnesses who saw the man, the police now do not have detailed information about him, not even photographs. With only this few pitiful clues in hand, how can you lock down the suspect? Where should we investigate? Can you catch this beast-like guy? There was a question mark in everyone's hearts.
