Zheng Yuan, 26 years old, height 175, weight 70 kg, left-handed, 400 degrees of myopia, night blindness, no bad habits, poor physique.

If you want to know where such a big living person can hide, you must first figure out why he is hiding.

Disappearance, divided into active and passive. They have seen a lot of policemen who take the initiative, hiding debts, hiding wanted, hiding lovers and hiding in the main room, changing their names, changing their places of origin, changing their heads, and even big men wearing skirts and pretending to be women, Wang Shiqi is very sure that Zheng Yuan does not belong to any of the above. As for the passive -

Passive, Wang Shiqi didn't dare to think about it.

Zheng Yuan has been kidnapped once, the kidnappers are at large, and the motive is still unknown. The most critical thing in finding people is the golden seventy-two hours, which is now less than one-third, and he doesn't know if he will be so lucky to take Zheng Yuan out with his whole body this time.

Wang Shiqi's speed soared to 150 yards, and he arrived at Zheng Yuan's newly rented house in the bright sky. According to the address given by Zhuo Yibo, it was not far from the newspaper office where he worked, but when he stood in the courtyard, he found that it was obviously an old-style resettlement house, with no heating and no natural gas, and the wall panels were estimated to be less thick than the floor of his house. Wang Shiqi stared at the corridor where the lights were not even lit: I will let you go, and you will give me such a dog life?

The situation in the house is not much better, the wooden door lock breaks when it is kicked, the living room has very few things, a few clothes are scattered on the sofa, the cups are one east and one west, and the simple dining table is the unfinished KFC packing bags and cartons. - Buy something to eat at home? Wang Shiqi raised his eyebrows, the place here is a bit biased, and the business districts that have the conditions to open KFC should be three kilometers away, so it is better to take the children directly with them if they have this kung fu to go back and forth. He put on his gloves and carefully opened the bag, which contained a shopping receipt, in addition to chicken wings and drumsticks, and a glass of hot milk. But he searched around the table, kitchen, and trash can, but he didn't see any paper cups to take.

It seems that it is clear where the known tranquilizer is placed. Wang Shiqi straightened up and called Zheng Yuan's newspaper: "Hey, hello, the police are handling the case, please provide photos and information of all employees of your company, we suspect that someone is related to a missing case." ”

Jinju Business Daily is a small newspaper, plus sweeping aunts and temporary janitors there are only thirty or forty people, and the director in charge of the literary edition is a in her forties, whose face is red and white, and it is frightening to be abrupt under the bright fluorescent lamp. She pushed the door in and threw the key, and was not angry with Wang Shiqi on the sofa: "Today's weekend, officer, do you know about legal holidays, how can we rest if you make such a fuss." ”

"I'm a very reasonable person, don't worry." Wang Shiqi raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, if you cooperate with the investigation, maybe you can go back to sleep." But what if you don't cooperate," he rolled his eyelids, and the snow knife shot straight through, and the director suddenly found himself sweating in his head. "That's a bit troublesome, let's suspend our work first, I'll send an investigation team to station, and we'll talk about when the case is solved."

At this moment, the director also panicked, and his tone immediately softened: "Brother, little brother, let's not be so angry first, let's drink saliva first." She handed over a disposable paper cup, and hesitated when she spoke: "But don't blame me for being ugly, this teacher Zheng has been here for less than a month, and his personality is usually more introverted, and he is alone every day, not to mention colleagues with good relationships, and there are not many people who can be named." I still want to carry forward the spirit of leadership and go to his house to care, but no one knows where he lives. ”

"And who does he usually associate with? Have you ever made a phone call, or chatted online or something? ”

"Didn't pay attention...... He generally doesn't call in the office. Ah, by the way, there have been a few times to stay and leave late, saying that the family has not bought a computer for the time being, and needs to check some information, after all, it is also a newcomer, who is not a little difficult, right? I'll go with him. ”

Wang Shiqi's heart moved. "Which computer is his?"

On the table in the far corner, the old-fashioned monitor shell is a little yellow, and it starts up like an old cow pulling a broken car. Wang Shiqi took advantage of the buffer to go back and forth around, except for a few issues of the old issue and a stack of spare manuscripts, there was nothing.

"You kid is here to be a monk." Wang Shiqi slandered. The boot music sounded, inexplicably familiar, Wang Shiqi was confused for a while before reacting, this is the boot sound of the computer in their university computer room, and the current new system is generally not used. With a thought in his mind, he easily clicked into the system folder of the C drive, turned on the hidden visible mode, and found a hidden folder replaced with a disc icon in it - that was Zheng Yuan's trick to steal things on the public computer when he was studying, from banned books to banned films. Flipping down two layers, sure enough, let him find an unnamed folder, Wang Shiqi quickly clicked the mouse, and a password box popped up.

"I know my birthday...... No, Xiaoye's birthday...... No, could it be Kobe's birthday? Wang Shiqi scratched his ears and cheeks and tried to slip enough, but was always stopped by the cold "password error" at the door. He took a deep breath, and his brain raced - if this was something Zheng Yuan had been investigating recently, and it needed password protection, nine times out of ten it was a case, and there were only two cases that could make a smart person like Zheng Yuan worry about it, as far as he knew.

The first is Gu Tianqing's kidnapping and murder case, and the second is the kidnapping and murder case that he personally experienced.

Wang Shiqi suddenly realized that this folder was not placed here casually. Just such a small thing of a few hundred kilobytes, Zheng Yuan can put it in a USB flash drive and take it with him, and there will only be one reason why he left it in this place where only he can find it.

- In case there are three long and two short, he hopes that he can find it, and only he can open it.

"It can't be so evil, right?" Wang Shiqi muttered to himself, he took a deep breath, reached for his keyboard, and typed his siren.

With a click, the folder opened. Screenshots and documents unfold in front of you.

Wang Shiqi slid down the page with a complicated expression.

This is the relevant news report of the New Life Hospital over the years, starting from its predecessor, the New Life Growth Center, spanning ten years, most of them are advertorials touting the concept of running a school and being grateful for the rebirth. There are also some dissonant sounds, which seem to be related to the death dispute of the student, and there is a car accident - a car accident? Wang Shiqi hurriedly opened it and glanced at it, and sure enough, it was the accident that Ge Yumei had mentioned.

In 1992, Ge Yumei and her husband Xie Qin took their only son Xie Li, who was less than seven years old, and drove a black Santana with a license plate of Lake A53239 from Xingsha to her mother's house 200 kilometers away to celebrate her birthday. Xie Qin died on the spot, Ge Yumei suffered multiple fractures all over her body, and Xie Li, who was in the passenger seat, was saved by Xie Qin, but he suffered a heavy head injury and was unconscious in the hospital. Because the driver who caused the accident also died after being sent to the hospital, he was unable to compensate and ended in a hurry as a traffic accident.

Before that, Ge Yumei used to be a gentle and beautiful little nurse, her husband was considerate and stable, and the family was peaceful and happy. After giving birth to her son, Xie Qin was afraid that she would be too tired, so she simply asked her to quit her job and concentrate on raising children. The sudden misfortune of the well-grown flowers and rice in the greenhouse, no wonder she was so hysterical when she brought it up.

Another story was published three years later. Xie Li's follow-up treatment costs stretched her life to the limit, and Ge Yumei, a former nurse, chose to take a desperate gamble and sell her house to start a custodian agency. At first, it was just an hourly care center, which was convenient for her to take care of her son during rehabilitation while working, but it gradually transformed into a full-time boarding center, and the enrollment of students gradually expanded from autism and disability to mental illness, Internet addiction, disobedience, and sexual fetish correction. In the interview, Ge Yumei showed her psychological counselor certificate, constantly emphasizing the educational concept of "shun": "In today's society, many parents have gone astray, they love their children and give them everything they want, but I think that human nature is evil, which only means arrogance and depravity for children who have not yet reached the root nature." What our center teaches children is 'obedience', filial obedience, and exchange obedience for love, so that they can develop a gentle and upright character. ”

Wang Shiqi shook his head, noncommittal to Ge Yumei's theory. As if to confirm his uneasiness, the next news happened to be a dispute a few years later, and it also caused a disturbance in the "Legal Weekly" where Zheng Yuan once worked: Yue, a 16-year-old girl in Xingsha City, was sent to the center by her parents for correction and study because of her early love, and died suddenly three days later. The autopsy results showed that Yue died of electrolyte imbalance caused by high temperature and dehydration, and there were suspicious injuries on her body, but the school insisted that the child had escaped from school by climbing over the wall without permission, resulting in physical injuries, and later suffered heat stroke due to getting lost, and her body was found on a dirt road 5 kilometers away from the school.

There was no follow-up on this case, and eighty percent of it was settled privately and then closed unexpectedly. Wang Shiqi remembered Xie Li's confession, Gu Tianyu and Gu Tianqing had both had the experience of being beaten, confined and deprived of water and food in the New Life Growth Center, plus Gu Tianqing insisted that Gu Tianyu's death was not a suicide, combined with the case in front of him, it suddenly became suspicious-

If an accident can be faked, then suicide can certainly be.

Wang Shiqi felt like a piece of iron fell in his stomach, and he wanted to vomit heavily. His eyes fell on the photo accompanying another report, which was the anniversary celebration of the Freshman Growth Center, where once a year, Dean Ge Yumei and the outstanding students would pose for a group photo in front of a lush flower. At that time, she was already a high-spirited strong woman, and the children around her were uniformly shaved with short hair and uniforms, their faces were blurred, and even their smiles were neat and tidy, as if they were poured out of a mold. The picture annotation below mentions that his son Xie Li is also among them, Wang Shiqi squinted his eyes and identified it for a long time, but it is really hard to say which one is him - they are all thirteen or fourteen years old, their bodies are not open, their eyes are wooden, and they can't even distinguish between men and women.

Something flashed in my intuition, but for a moment I couldn't tell what was wrong. He continued to rummage and found a screenshot of an email from "Daystar Art School", which seemed to be a reply to an email from Zheng Yuan.

Hello Reporter Zheng,

Regarding the list of winners of the 1992-1996 Youth Oil Painting Group, the results are as follows: the school awarded a total of 5 first prizes, 10 second prizes, 20 third prizes, and 50 winning awards, the list is as follows: Li Yumin, Chen Qi, Xie Wuyuan, Song Anning, Zhou Weijia, Mi Le, Xu Zhenzhen, Zhang Bowen......

Why do you look this up? Wang Shiqi was puzzled. He vaguely remembered that Xie Li seemed to have painted oil paintings, but after looking through the entire list, his eyes were sour, and his name was not there.

The other documents are similar, and he can't see a way for the time being, so he tried to log in to his QQ, mailbox, and everything that will leave traces of communication, but every place is clean, and all the records are deleted so that there is not even a punctuation mark left.

Now it's a dead end again. Wang Shiqi was a little discouraged and thought: Lao Zheng, what do you want to reveal and what do you want to hide?

The crisp ringing of the phone broke his musings.

"Hello? Team Wang, come back quickly. It was Xu Ye's voice: "Our little ancestor has made a new discovery. ”

***

Facing the two pieces of evidence spread out on the desk, Wang Shiqi felt his throat tightened.

"At first, it was because Brother Xu arranged for me to go to the file, and I couldn't count the evidence when I filled in the evidence, so I went to look at the physical evidence room again, and it didn't matter if I saw it, guess what I found?" Qi Kexiu's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he was unexpectedly interjected by Xu Ye: "He found that the handwriting of the two pieces of evidence was very similar. ”

"Hey! Big brother, don't bring such spoilers! Qi Kexiu looked dissatisfied, but because of Xu Ye's obscenity, it was not easy to attack: "Anyway, didn't you get back a few letters from Xie Li's kidnapping case before?" As one of the early physical evidence, it was filed with Gu Tianyu's notes when the case was finally merged, and it didn't matter if you put it together, as soon as you compare it left and right, the problem will come out. ”

"Eh, I mean, it's very similar, and it doesn't rule out that some people write similar to another person, so it can't be concluded that it was written by one person, right?" Xu Ye smacked his lips on the side: "You have thought clearly, if you really want to think in this direction, this matter will be evil, maybe the whole case will have to be overturned and restarted......"

Wang Shiqi didn't speak, he knew that Xu Ye was right.

If the two handwriting are really the same, it means that the letter Zheng Yuan received at the beginning and Gu Tianyu's notes came from the same handwriting, but Gu Tianyu died seven years ago, he personally went to the cemetery to investigate when the case was closed, and her notes have been sealed in Sun Zhijun's suitcase, so it is impossible to forge them. So, how could a dead person crawl out of the urn to send a letter to Zheng Yuan's newspaper?

What can't be thought about is that Xie Li once claimed that the letter was written by him and sent by Gu Tianqing.

How could his hand write Gu Tianyu's handwriting?

Xu Ye was still talking: "...... Really, Team Wang, we finally became the culmination of this case, and now we have eaten and received the reward, your ass is not hot yet, turn your face and apply for a re-investigation, this is not easy to explain to the above, in case of another oolong, I don't care, horizontal and vertical mixing, but you ......"

This time, Qi Kexiu's smugness was gone. After following this for a while, he already knew what Wang Shiqi wanted most - losing his job was a small matter, but if the case he had in mind could not be investigated, he suspected that this captain who was full of strength did not plan to live. "Team Wang," he hesitated, "or not...... Maybe I'm wrong......"

"What do you say?" Wang Shiqi raised his head to look at him, and Qi Kexiu noticed for the first time that the captain's eyes were so intimidating that he was almost firmly pinned to the ground and couldn't move. "Have you forgotten what you said to me in the first place?"

"I ......" Qi Kexiu was so nervous that he stumbled: "I, I, my name is Qi Kexiu...... Neat and tidy, you can, fix ......"

"Why are you still so stupid?" Wang Shiqi slapped his head: "It's 'leadership education, don't let go of any doubt'!" ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, I'm a policeman, my duty is to solve the case, if the case is not solved, then it will be solved again, I think your leader has the right education." His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop: "Everyone's handwriting has countless characteristics, which are determined by writing power and writing habits, and behind this reflects a person's physiological structure, education level, temperament and personality, so we have an old saying, called words are like people." ”

"Everyone's handwriting will have some special features that are not affected by camouflage changes, such as the special collocation of a certain character, and only one person in a thousand people will have this specialness, and the characteristic value of the character will be relatively high. There's a living example of this in the sample before us—"

Xu Ye and Qi Kexiu looked at the place he pointed to—it was the word love. Every love word is written in traditional Chinese, probably from the delicate mind of the girl in the flower season: only there is a heart in the middle of the traditional love word, and every time it is written, it is some kind of secret confession.

"Qi Kexiu, go and apply for a handwriting appraisal immediately. Xu Ye, go and make a call to the boss, and say that there are new clues in this case, and we have to apply for restart. ”

"Okay!" Qi Kexiu hurriedly ran out with the physical evidence bag, and leaned back half of his body uncomfortably before going out: "Then, Team Wang, what about your friend Reporter Zheng?" ”

"He has nothing to do with this, I have brought back all the employee information of Jinju Newspaper, and I will arrange testimony immediately."

Xu Ye didn't persuade him again, just patted him on the shoulder silently, and went out with Qi Kexiu. Wang Shiqi slowly slumped in the chair, and realized that his nails had been pinched into his palms, leaving a row of hideous red marks. - Zheng Yuan, only he has access to these two pieces of evidence at the same time, combined with the secret information on Jinju's computer, there is reason to believe that he realized that Xie Li was lying one step ahead of everyone else. But why is it not debunked? Why wasn't it reported? Instead, you chose to walk alone behind the dark scenes? Is it because he is afraid of startling the snake, or because of empathy, he chooses to shield or even assist?

Are you really missing? Or are you on the opposite side of me?

Wang Shiqi tilted his head back in his chair, his temples throbbing from the continuous tension and lack of sleep. His eyes were staring directly at the snow-bright overhead light, and he didn't close it tightly until there was an afterimage in the retina, and the closed eyelids were full of sour bodily fluids, which must not be tears, must not be.

Zheng Yuancai will not betray him. Absolutely not.

"Lao Zheng......" he muttered to himself, "I know you're smarter than me everywhere, but you've got to let me catch up once, right?" I've only shot better than you in my life, and I've said since the day I became a police officer that this gun of mine is to protect thousands of people here, and it's also to protect you, but you can't hide from me, only if it's within my range, I can—I can—"

to protect you, or, snipe you.
