"My son is gone." An old man with a wrinkled face was crying and mourning, standing in the police station and complaining to the people around him and the police.

I had just bought some eggs and passed through the police station when I heard the poor old man's cry, so I was curious and walked in.

I saw that the old man was about 60 years old, his gray hair had been shaved flat, his face was dark and wrinkled, he was wearing a very simple blue short-sleeved shirt, and a pair of blue trousers with dirt marks. A pair of leather shoes that I don't know how many years I have been wearing, there are already some gaps on the side.

The old man was in tears at this time, and muttered: "My son has not come home since he went out yesterday morning, I want to call the police, comrade police, you must help me find my son." ”

A person watching the excitement next to him said: "Seeing that you are so old, your son must also be an adult, maybe there is something going out, you wait, maybe you will come back." ”

The old man said, "No way, my son will come home every day." ”

Another middle-aged woman with a vegetable basket said, "Then you can call your son." ”

The old man said: "I have been unable to get through since yesterday morning, and now it has been different, and I am in a hurry." ”

The police officer at the police station said: "Old man, don't worry, tell me the situation slowly." ”

The old man said: "My son is a waste collector, and he drove his tricycle yesterday morning and went out. He was accompanied by one of his brothers, but the man came home in the afternoon. I went to ask him and he said he and my son were separated during breakfast. He called my son afterwards, but the phone was turned off. ”

The police asked, "Do you know your son's route to collect waste?" ”

The old man said, "Then who knows, it's all over the city anyway." ”

The police asked a lot of questions after that, and I didn't listen carefully because I was in a hurry to go home, but I took this case to heart, because according to the old man's description, his son didn't look like he was going somewhere by himself, and it was indeed like a missing case. As for the reason for his disappearance, then I don't know.

"It took you two hours to buy a egg, do you know?" Tang Zhenguo looked at his phone and said.

I smiled and said, "I went to the farmer's market to buy fresh eggs, this kind of eggs are rich in protein and high in nutritional value, and it is worth spending two hours." ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "You just blow it, look at it, who are you with this back?" ”

"Huh? What the? I looked at Tang Zhenguo's phone in confusion.

On the screen of the mobile phone is a just-posted forum message, with the headline "Sixty-year-old man police station avenges grievances, cries and no one listens, and the masses besiege the police station to seek justice."

"Fuck off. What kind of mess is this, what kind of false information do you see released by bad netizens, it's just afraid that the world will not be chaotic. I said angrily.

Tang Zhenguo smiled and said: "Many people on the forum like to beep blindly, so you should be calm and calm." ”

I pointed to my phone and said, "It's not just a matter of blind beeping, it's a rumor-mongering and it's illegal." Let me tell you, in the future, you should watch less of these things, watch more news channels, and care about national affairs. "My anger seems to have been committed.

Tang Zhenguo still smiled, and said inquiringly: "You say, is the back you, you still have to explain first." By the way, what the hell is going on in the police station? ”

I took a few heavy breaths and said, "An old man's son is missing, his son is a waste collector, and he has been out for a day and a night, and he can't be contacted. ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "The waste collector is missing? He didn't have to go far away to collect scrap. ”

I shook my head and said, "No." Look at the old man, the conditions at home should not be too good, if you go to a distant place to collect waste, then you have to stay overnight, and it costs more fuel money. The average scrap worker would not make such a choice. ”

Tang Zhenguo asked, "Then why did this waste collector disappear?" ”

I glanced at Tang Zhenguo, in fact, I want to say, the ghost knows, there are thousands of reasons for disappearance, who knows which one?

But I didn't say this, but said patiently: "Don't underestimate the waste collectors, they carry a lot of cash, as far as I know, some big waste owners carry hundreds of thousands of cash." Because they're just using cash to return the recyclables, so it's better to bring more cash. ”

Tang Zhenguo nodded, seemed to understand something, and said: "I know, this little brother who collects waste may have encountered robbers and killed him for money, so he disappeared." ”

I looked at Tang Zhenguo with wide eyes and said, "Be careful. ”

"What's in one word?" Tang Zhenguo looked at me in confusion.

I ignored him and put all the eggs on the table in the fridge.

I looked out the window and said, "What the hell, I don't know when it will rain?" ”

Tang Zhenguo still looked at his mobile phone and said: "It was said on the news that there have been cumulonimbus clouds in recent days, and if it does not rain, it will rain artificially." Hit that dry ice cannonball. ”

I nodded and said, "I hope it works." ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "What hope is effective, you have to have confidence in modern science and technology, do you understand science? ”

As soon as I heard it, I was so excited that a guy who didn't even know a word about 'a prophecy' would talk to me about science. So he coughed and said:

"Artificial precipitation, also known as artificial rain, refers to the principle of precipitation formation in nature, artificially supplementing certain necessary conditions for the formation of precipitation, and promoting the rapid condensation or collision of cloud droplets into raindrops and falling to the ground. According to the physical characteristics of different clouds, the method is to choose the right time to use airplanes and rockets to sow dry ice, silver iodide, salt powder and other catalysts into the clouds, so as to make the clouds precipitation or increase the amount of precipitation, so as to relieve or alleviate the drought of farmland, increase the irrigation water or water supply capacity of reservoirs, or increase the amount of power generation. ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "Oh, it's quite scientific. ”

I did not give up, and continued: "According to the physical characteristics of different clouds, choose the right time to use airplanes, * and other catalysts to disperse dry ice, silver iodide, salt powder and other catalysts into the clouds, so as to promote precipitation or increase precipitation in the clouds. Artificial precipitation enhancement is divided into ambiguous cloud precipitation enhancement and cold cloud precipitation. In order to cause precipitation or increase rain in clouds (clouds with temperatures higher than 0°C), hygroscopic particles such as salt powder and urea should be sprinkled in the clouds to promote the formation of large cloud droplets and lead to the formation or increase of precipitation. If cold clouds (clouds with a temperature below 0°C) are to be used to sow catalysts such as dry ice and silver iodide with airplanes, etc., to produce a large number of ice crystals, so that the density of ice crystals in the upper part of the cold cloud increases, and precipitation is promoted or increased. ”

Tang Zhenguo slowly stood up, looked around and said, "Hey, where is the remote control board?" Oh, the clothes are dry, I have to put them away. ”

I sneered: "Tell me about science, you read the 100,000 whys first." ”

Of course, this kind of daily mutual hatred, Tang Zhenguo is a often defeated general.

The weather was hot and I had nothing to do, so I dragged Tang Zhenguo to the criminal investigation team. However, every time I go to the criminal investigation team, Tang Zhenguo says that I am going to rub the air conditioner, and I don't bother to reason with him, he can think whatever he likes, because I am indeed suspected of rubbing the air conditioner.

"Old Lu, there is an old man's son who disappeared this morning, and he is a waste collector, do you know about this?" As soon as I arrived at Lao Lu's office, I asked this question.

Lao Lu said: "I heard that it is said that the police station in the jurisdiction has posted a missing person notice. Scrap collectors have been robbed, which has happened in previous years, but not in recent years. However, this is the first time I have encountered this disappearance of scrap collection. However, this case was handed over to the film police for handling, and did not come to the criminal investigation team. ”

I said, "I was at the scene when the old man reported the crime, and I think this case is not simple, so you have to be careful." ”

Lao Lu lit a cigarette, looked sideways at me and said, "I read the old man's report record, which is not much different from ordinary disappearance cases, why do you think this case is not simple?" ”

When Lao Lu asked me like this, I really didn't know how to answer, so I said perfunctorily: "Intuition, intuition." ”

Lao Lu sneered: "Intuition? It's not scientific. ”

Tang Zhenguo found an opportunity to fight back against me, and said seriously: "Well, it's not scientific, it's not scientific." ”

I'm speechless.

The hot days are finally over, and the hot nights are coming again.

However, the air conditioning in the red bar is still good, it is quite cool, and the beautiful girls are also dressed coolly.

Of course, I am a single-minded person, and I only look at Mu Qiushui in front of me.

"Uncle Ouyang, your eyeballs are about to fall out." Chi Xue said with a pout.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, at most it's just a drop in a wine glass to disinfect it." ”

Mu Qiushui sneered, bright and moving

Chi Xue said disdainfully: "Uncle, since you and Sister Qiushui got along, you have become flamboyant, and my family is still stable." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Tang Zhenguo began to cough violently, and he didn't know whether he was choked by the wine or Chi Xue's words.

Chi Xue patted Tang Zhenguo's back vigorously, and said with concern in anger: "No one is robbing you, what are you doing in such a hurry, it's really unbelievable." ”

Tang Zhenguo didn't say anything and continued to drink.

At this time, Chi Xue raised her glass and said, "I'll rest tomorrow, why don't you go out for a barbecue?" ”

I poured cold water and said, "It's such a hot day, you want to be barbecued!" ”

When Chi Xue heard this, she puffed out her cheeks.

Tang Zhenguo was still drinking, disagreeing and disagreeing.

Mu Qiushui looked at his phone and looked at me with big eyes like autumn water, full of anticipation.

I know that Mu Qiushui just looked at the weather forecast on his phone, in fact, I know that tomorrow will be cloudy, but I have never been interested in this kind of activity. But looking at Mu Qiushui's eyes, she seemed to be looking forward to it.

Mu Qiushui is an incognito killer, she must have never experienced the life of ordinary people, and she has such a yearning, and it is natural that she has such a yearning.

I took a sip of wine and said, "Yes...... Zhenguo, tomorrow seems to be a cloudy day, you haven't taken Xiao Tangtang out to play for a long time, stay at home and blow the air conditioner this summer vacation, it's always bad for the child's health, it's better to take her out for a walk tomorrow. ”

Tang Zhenguo smiled, looked at Chi Xue, looked at me again, and said, "Science! ”

"Yay!"

Chi Xue was like a three-year-old child, happily hugged Tang Zhenguo and kissed her, and then took Mu Qiushui's hand and stood up, the two danced to the rhythm of the music, which was very tempting.

Mu Qiushui jumped and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”

"Long live Sister Qiushui!" Chi Xue was even more excited, shaking her head constantly, immersed in her joy.

The next day, Mu Qiushui drove a Mercedes-Benz G500 to pick us up, and it was also a local tyrant who arrived home.

Chi Xue brought a lot of food and barbecue tools, which she went to buy early in the morning. However, she said with some disappointment: "It's a pity that I didn't buy a barbecue grill." ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "It's okay, I'll build one for you with a stone." "I know Tang Zhenguo's experience of living on the border again, and some skills of survival in the wild, he knows it well, and building a stone rack for barbecue is easy and pleasant.

Little Sugar Candy is very excited from the beginning of getting in the car, children, going out to play must be happy.

Today's weather is good, the weather forecast does not lie to us, it is indeed cloudy. But I saw the news that there was going to be anti-aircraft artillery artificial rain at 3 p.m., so we had to return by 3 p.m.

After about an hour and a half of driving, we came to the barbecue location that Chi Xue had shown me. It's a nice place, with wild lawns and small ravines, but it's not just us who come here to play, there are other people. As a result, it seems a little crowded.

But that doesn't affect the mood of the fun.

Tang Zhenguo quickly assumed that the stone barbecue grill was indeed of professional standard, which attracted the applause and envy of others.

The women all started fiddling with the food, and I was in charge of lighting the fire. After a while, the smell of meat gradually wafted into the countryside.

At this moment, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and it turned out that a family with a wife was passing by us.

We all stopped to watch the welcoming procession carrying a sedan chair, wearing ancient costumes, and blowing suona, and sent silent blessings in our hearts.

Today, indeed, was a cheerful day, and in the midst of laughter, we were all full of food and drink, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the clouds in the sky were getting denser and denser, and it seemed that it would rain without dry ice shells.

"Let's go back, it's said that the time of artificial rain has been advanced to two o'clock." Mu Qiushui looked at his phone and said.

All agreed.

When we were cleaning up the barbecue site, suddenly an earth-shattering thunder sounded, which scared everyone into trembling.

Chi Xue hurriedly patted her chest, stomped her feet and said, "Mom, Mom, I'm scared to death." ”

The thunder was indeed earth-shattering, and it sounded even more terrifying in the wilderness of the mountains.

"Hurry up, it's going to rain." I said.

We sped up and cleaned up the scene of the game.

As I walked to the car with the leftover food from the barbecue, I saw a few villagers walking towards me, shaking their heads and sighing as they walked: "Hey! I really don't know what kind of iniquity was created, but on the big day, the bridegroom was killed by thunder. ”

Tang Zhenguo and I both heard it, and when we looked at each other, we were both incredible.

I hurriedly walked over to the villagers and asked, "This fellow, what is the matter with you saying that the groom was killed by Lei?" ”

The old man in the red wedding dress said: "It was the huge thunder just now, a lightning bolt split the house, and the groom was killed on the spot, and the house was full of flesh and blood, which scared people to death." I don't know what kind of sin has been created, but the good joy has become a white thing. ”

I listened to the description of my fellow countryman, and I was sure at the first time that this could not have been killed by lightning, how could it be hacked to death by lightning, how could it be chopped to flesh and blood? It can only be scorched.

So I hurriedly asked everyone to pack up their things and get into the car, and I went to the scene to see.

We drove and soon found the scene of this so-called lightning strike. Originally, this was a place to marry, there were many people and cars, but now there are more people, and there are more people who come to see the excitement.

When we arrived at the scene, the police car also came, it was from the local police station.

I also hurriedly got out of the car, Tang Zhenguo followed me, Chi Xue, Xiao Tangtang and Mu Qiushui stayed in the car and waited for us.

Tang Zhenguo and I squeezed through the crowd, only to see that the ground was full of broken plates and night, it seems that when the groom was killed just now, it caused a lot of commotion, making the dam mat at the scene also messy.

"Comrade policeman, I am an adviser to the criminal investigation team, and I want to go to the scene of the murder." I walked over to the police and said.

The police recognized me at a glance and said: "You are Ouyang Jie, it's great to have you, just now the resident reported that the groom was struck by lightning, which is a bit too coincidental." ”

While we were discussing, there were a few thunders in the sky, and already raindrops were already falling.

The crowd of onlookers and the crowd attending the banquet saw that the sky began to rain, and they all slowly dispersed.

Tang Zhenguo and I, as well as two policemen, entered the scene of the crime.

Sure enough, the scene of the crime was terrible, with blood stains everywhere on the ground and walls. And there is a big hole in the roof.

I checked the scene first, it was a bungalow with a black roof covered with black tiles, and the living room was about 30 square meters, with three bedrooms and a kitchen on either side. The toilet is outside next to the pigsty.

The house was clearly old, but because he was going to marry a daughter-in-law, the walls of the house were painted and new appliances were bought.

That's what the site looks like.

Look at the deceased again, the deceased was lying on his side on the ground, there was a hole in the top of his head,* and blood was splattered everywhere, and the scene was terrifying.

I glanced at the bride, who seemed to be frightened and dumbfounded, staring at the groom's corpse without even blinking.

The groom, who was about 20 to 22 years old, was a very young man, and his face was a little distorted, as if he had been frightened.

But how is it possible to make a frightened expression when you kill them with such force?

So I deduced that he died a moment after the loud thunder. At this time, the expression of thunder on his face was still on his face.

Everyone knows that there is lightning and then thunder, so this young man could not have been struck by lightning. Moreover, there were no traces of scorching on the limbs of the deceased, and it is completely nonsense to say that he was struck by lightning.

Let's take a look at this hole in the roof, and the old people around say that the hole was struck by lightning. Of course, this statement is very unreliable, why do you say that? Because lightning does not have the ability to pierce through this house, and if lightning strikes this house, then I think everyone in this house must fall, so why should only the bridegroom fall?

Based on the openings in the roof and the tragic death of the groom, I felt that he had been hit by a high-altitude projectile.

But this is an empty countryside, there are no high-rise buildings, so where does this high-altitude projectile come from? The first thing I deduced was what fell on the plane. However, I had not heard the sound of a plane passing by just now, and this was not a flight voyage, so this judgment was overturned.

Meteorite meteorite?

This is even more unreliable, if it is really a meteorite, the people who were hit are estimated to have turned into powder.

The speculation was useless, and after looking around, I didn't find anything unusual in the room, so I guessed that the murder weapon should be in the body of the deceased.

I told the police: "The body has to be transported to a forensic center to find out the real cause of death." But don't worry, this is not a murder, but an accident, which you can understand as a tragedy caused by a falling object. ”

Tang Zhenguo and I returned to the car, and we didn't talk about the case, because the scene was so tragic that there were children present, so it was better for us to be cautious.

I asked Mu Qiushui to send me to the forensic identification center, and everyone knew that I could forget to sleep and eat when I encountered a case, and I was not to blame for serious cases, so everyone didn't blame me.

When they parted, Mu Qiushui said to me: "Thank you for accompanying me today. ”

I smiled slightly, glanced at the little sugar candy who was staring at the cute big eyes on the side, and said, "Uncle has something to do, go first." ”

If Xiao Tangtang wasn't here, I might have kissed Mu Qiushui goodbye. As for Tang Zhenguo and Chi Xue, when they are air, it's fine.

I came to the autopsy room, and Liu Lili was already making preparations. When she saw me, she pushed the frame of her black-rimmed glasses and said, "I heard that someone was struck by lightning, and to be honest, I haven't done an autopsy on someone who has been struck by lightning." ”

I said, "It looks like you're going to be disappointed, the dead were not struck by lightning, but fell from a height. It's just that when he died, there was a lightning strike, and people mistakenly thought that he was killed by a lightning strike. ”

Liu Lili nodded.

After waiting for about half an hour, the body suspected of being killed by a falling object was finally delivered. I didn't expect the results of the autopsy to surprise me.

Liu Lili found an item similar to * in the chest cavity of the deceased.

When the blood stains were cleaned up, I saw clearly that it was a dry ice cannonball from artificial rain.

Then all this came to light, the time was the time of artificial rain, and the location of the cannon was not far from the orientation area. By chance, after a thunderclap, a dud that did not explode in the air fell to the place where the marriage was held. Smashed through the roof and smashed into the groom's body, killing the groom.

This case really shocked everyone, I don't know whether to say that the groom's life is not good? Or is it a problem with the quality of this dry ice shell?

In the public office area of the criminal investigation team, Liu Sanxun came to me and said: "Brother Ouyang, the dry ice shell murder case you solved yesterday is really mysterious, among so many cases you have solved, is there such a similar strange case?" ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Don't say it, there is really such a strange case, this case Lao Lu also knows, and I still remember it vividly." If I had to define this case, it would really be pure coincidence. ”

Liu Sanxun and several young criminal policemen immediately became interested, and surrounded me and said, "Brother Ouyang, let's talk about it, just like sharing your experience in handling cases with us." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about this case that subverts the three views." ”

It was many years ago, when there was not much monitoring equipment in the community, and only the particularly luxurious community set up monitoring probes.

I remember that that morning, Lao Lu called me. Yes, it was a phone, it was a landline phone, I didn't have a mobile phone at that time, and everyone who had a mobile phone was big.

When I arrived at the scene of the crime, I found the body of a woman about 25 years old lying in a pool of blood, her skin open and her head blooming. Not far away, about five meters away, a man about 30 years old also threw himself on the concrete floor, already dead.

However, the scene is very strange, the woman is wearing pink silk skirt pajamas, but she is not wearing leggings. The man wore black sweatpants and a dark blue short-sleeved shirt.

The woman had obviously fallen to her death, and the blood stains on the ground were flowing from her. The man did not shed a lot of blood, but there was a drag mark on the blood on the ground, which extended from the female deceased to the male deceased, and the drag mark became deeper and lighter. It can be seen that the man crawled out from under the female corpse and died.

Seeing this, I immediately had a bold inference. After the woman fell from the building, she crushed the man who was walking below.

I first examined the female corpse, in fact, there is nothing to examine, there are different degrees of damage to the head, chest and limbs, typical of a high-altitude fall.

The male corpse was different, I found that he had a clear fracture in his right shoulder, which indicates that the woman hit his right shoulder in the first place. The surface of the man's corpse showed no obvious scars, but judging by his body spots and skin color, he should have had extensive internal bleeding. I guess it was the female corpse who broke her ribs and pierced her internal organs and died.

Observing the time of death of the two, it was between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. The man's time of death was slightly delayed by about 10 minutes compared to the woman's time of death.

The female corpse was dressed in a nightdress, and there was nothing else on her.

The man's waist was covered with a silver-gray waist bag, and when I opened it, there were not only cash but also watches, women's gold and silver jewelry, and so on.

And judging from the time of death, as well as the dress of the male corpse, this man should be a thief.

Then it was a coincidence that a thief who committed theft at night was stoned to death by a woman who committed suicide at night. What a coincidence.

At first, I thought that such a coincidence was too big to come, but when the case was further investigated, I realized that there was an even bigger coincidence.

After further autopsy results came out, the male sperm spots were found in the female corpse's body, and the female deceased was alone at home that night, why did there be sperm spots in the body?

Through the investigation of the deceased's home on the 12th floor, it was found that the lock on the door of her house had been picked, which means that the deceased's home was burglarized that night. Moreover, the gold and silver jewelry and 2,000 yuan in cash from the female deceased's home were missing.

Coincidentally, the missing money and jewelry were actually in the pockets of the deceased men, and they were also found in the pockets*.

So I made a bold guess as to whether this daring thief had stolen money and women.

The DNA comparison soon came out, and the sperm spots in the female corpse were indeed those of the male deceased.

So I made another bold assumption.

Women are the victims, and men are the perpetrators. The man stole the money and raped the woman in her sleep, and the woman could not stand the blow and committed suicide by jumping off the building. Coincidentally, it happened to press the man who was about to leave. So they both died.

When the case was investigated here, I thought it was the most reasonable explanation, but the real result was not like this at all.

In the woman's home, I found that the bed that the woman slept in was very tidy, perhaps because she turned on the air conditioner, worried that her back would be cold, and the surface of the mat on the bed was covered with a layer of sheets.

As you can imagine, the surface of the mat is covered with a sheet, and the sheet is easily messy. Especially when there was a rape on it, the sheets must have been a mess and crumpled.

However, the scene showed that the bed sheets were very neat. Could it be that the woman laid the sheets before committing suicide? This is obviously impossible.

And I found a water cup with half a glass of water and sleeping pills at the woman's bedside, apparently the woman took sleeping pills before going to bed.

Then I can conclude that when the man is in the woman, the woman does not wake up at all, and the man does not know that the woman has taken sleeping pills, so the movements are relatively light, and the sheets are not messed up.

So how did the woman fall from the building in the end?

According to the woman's relatives, the woman had a car accident when she was a child, which caused brain damage and often experienced sleepwalking while sleeping. To overcome this symptom, the woman began to take sleeping pills.

Perhaps on the night of the crime, the man * the woman, which caused the woman's cerebral cortex to be more active, so even after taking sleeping pills, she still had sleepwalking symptoms. Sadly, this sleepwalking caused her to fall to her death. At the same time, he also crushed the murderer who had assaulted her.

After I finished talking about this case, the young criminal investigation team members were dumbfounded. Some people didn't believe what I said, so they asked the older generation of investigators for verification, only to know that the case was true.

I smiled and said, "The world is so big. At the same time, this case tells us that many acts of injustice will lead to self-destruction, and who knows how God will punish those who do many evils. ”

After telling the younger generation about the case, I felt a little dry, so I walked to Lao Lu's office and drank a glass of cold water from the water dispenser.

After taking a few big sips, I said to Lao Lu, "Has the old man's son been found?" ”

Lao Lu was reading the dossier, and I suddenly asked him, as if he was stunned, and then said casually: "It's still investigating." ”

I said, "What kind of case are you looking at, watching it with such relish." ”

Lao Lu said: "I'm looking at Nanshan Park, the case of Qu Mo's men being killed. ”

I leaned in and said, "You mean the guy who claimed to be Qu Mo's son who was killed by the robot killer. ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "It's because you said that person claimed to be Qu Mo's son, so I sent a large number of police forces to search for blood stains near Nanshan Park." ”

I said, "It was raining that day, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to find." ”

Lao Lu smiled and said, "Hehe, you are wrong, the hard work pays off, this bloodstain really let me find it." ”

I said, "Even if we find blood, we can't be sure that this person is Qu Mo's son." ”

Lao Lu said: "Sometimes, dead horses are also effective as live horse doctors. Think about it, why did the robot burn the bloodstains and the mobile phone after killing the young man, and the guy who controlled the robot was afraid of revealing the identity of the young man. ”

I said, "I've thought about this too, but maybe the people in the Qumo group don't want their internal people to be exposed to the police?" This alone is too one-sided. ”

Lao Lu said: "No matter what, it is not a bad thing to store the DNA of the members of the Qumo Group. ”

Of course, I agree with Lao Lu's point of view.

When night fell, Mu Qiushui and I walked among the bustling crowd to feel the life of ordinary people.

Mu Qiushui said to me: "I haven't been shopping for a long time. ”

I smiled and said, "You're definitely not as long apart as I am." ”

Mu Qiushui said: "You are a man, it seems that men don't like shopping very much. ”

I said, "No, there are times when men like to go shopping, such as when they are with the woman they like. ”

"Poor mouth!" Mu Qiushui ran away like a flower butterfly.

Early the next morning, I went to the police station to inquire about the previous uncle, and I didn't know if his son had been found.

The police officer at the police station pointed to the missing person notice on the wall and said: "Three days have passed, but this person has still not been found." I guess he's more than lucky. ”

I asked, "Do you know where this uncle lives?" ”

The police provided me with my uncle's name, address and contact information. Before leaving the police station, I took a closer look at the missing person notice.

The missing man's name is Ma Pingtu, 23 years old, 171 cm tall, with a flat head, small eyes, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body, blue jeans on the bottom, a pair of brown sandals on his feet, and a red and black waist bag around his waist. Driving a red three-wheeled truck with the license plate number XXX.

In fact, the most obvious feature of this missing person notice is not the person, but the tricycle. If the tricycle can be found, it will be much easier to find the missing Ma Pingtu.

According to the address given to me by the police, I quickly found Ma Pingtu's home. Ma Pingtu is single, his mother died very early, and it was his father who brought Ma Pingtu up by picking up rags.

Ma Pingtu's father's name is Ma Youfu, but although this Ma Youfu name means blessed, he was destined to be unblessed since he was born.

It turned out that Ma Youfu had congenital polio, and he couldn't do heavy work with great energy, plus his family conditions were backward, and he didn't go to school, so he has always relied on collecting rags for a living.

Maybe his son Ma Pingtu has been exposed to it since he was a child, so after Ma Pingtu grew up, he opened a waste recycling company, and the conditions at home slowly improved. Ma Pingtu is the pillar of the family, and whether Ma Youfu can enjoy happiness in his later years depends on his son Ma Pingtu.

When I came to Ma Youfu's house, I learned that his house was in a small bungalow, and the outside of the bungalow was the waste recycling company, and inside the bungalow, it was their home.

At this time, I saw Ma Youfu sitting in a demented state under a yellow horn tree outside the house. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and it was already hot at this time of summer, even in the shade of the trees.

But the poor old man was still sitting in the shade of the tree, looking at the intersection with a pair of hazy eyes, and I could feel how much he wished to see his son appear. It's just that this little wish, maybe he won't be able to achieve it in the rest of his life.

I slowly walked to Ma Youfu's side, sat on the stone circle chair on the edge of the yellow horn tree, felt that the stone was still cold, and said softly: "Old man Ma, it's hot outside, let's go inside." ”

Ma Youfu's right hand trembled a little, this may be a symptom of polio, he looked at me stupidly, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then grabbed my hand, and said excitedly: "Young man, you ...... You're a friend of Pingtu, right? ”

I gently patted Ma Youfu's old hand and said, "Sort of." ”

Ma Youfu had a hopeful smile on his face, looked at me and said, "Do you know where Pingtu went?" It's been four days, why hasn't he come home yet? ”

I said, "I'm here for him, too, maybe I can help you find him." ”

Ma Youfu's wrinkled face showed a hint of loss, but this loss was fleeting, he looked at me, and said hopefully, "Can you really help me find him?" ”

I nodded affirmatively and said, "Absolutely." ”

"Great, great, young man, come into the house and say, take a sip of water, it's getting hotter and hotter out here." As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Yo-Fook Ma held on to my hand tightly.

When I entered this scrap yard, I found that there was no smell in the house, and these waste materials were sorted and placed in a regular manner.

I asked, "These are all sorted out by Ma Pingtu?" ”

Ma Youfu said proudly: "Yes, yes, he is a careful child. I never thought that I could start a company by picking up waste, don't look at the small here, he still has an income of seven or eight thousand a month! ”

He paused and said: "It's just very hard, getting up early and greedy for darkness, dirty and smelly, and the reputation of this job is not very good, so he hasn't talked about his daughter-in-law yet, hey!" ”

I said, "Don't worry, he's still young, and he'll definitely meet a good girl." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Come on, come on, come in and sit. Ma Youfu had a smile on his face, and it seemed that my appearance had given him a lot of hope.

But I know that sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Ma Youfu let me sit on the sofa, poured me a glass of water, and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't smoke on weekdays, so I didn't prepare at home, so I was lazy." ”

I smiled and said, "Whereever, I don't smoke, I don't smoke." ”

Ma Youfu said: "It's rare, there are very few young people who don't smoke now. ”

I smiled wryly.

I asked Ma Youfu to sit next to me and asked, "Did anything unusual happen on the day of Ma Pingtu's disappearance?" ”

Ma Youfu tilted his head slightly, looked at the ceiling and said, "Unusual things? If anything is unusual, it is that he got up very early that morning, as if he got up before 6 o'clock. He also went out to buy me breakfast, and he ate two steamed buns himself. ”

I asked, "When does he usually get up?" ”

"Half past six, I woke up thirty or forty minutes early that day."

I thought for a moment and said, "Do you know why he wakes up early?" ”

Ma Youfu thought about it again and said, "Oh, by the way, he took 5,000 yuan from me that day. Because I kept the money for collecting scrap, he said that he would collect a few large items that day and bring more money, so I gave him 5,000 yuan. ”

I nodded and said, "Who else knows he has these 5,000 on him." ”

Ma Youfu blurted out: "Da Zhuang, he is Pingtu's best friend, and he also runs a scrap company, he came to my door that day to wait for Pingtu, I heard Pingtu say to him with my own ears, today I brought 5,000 yuan to buy large items." ”

I nodded, named Da Zhuang as a suspect, and said, "Do you know Da Zhuang's contact information and address?" ”

"I don't know the phone number, but I know the address of his scrap company. ”

I wrote down the address of Da Zhuang Scrap Company, and I will definitely visit it in person later.

I said, "Tell me Ma Pingtu's phone number." ”

Ma Youfu took out his mobile phone and said: "His mobile phone has been turned off and can't be reached." As he said this, he dialed Ma Pingtu's phone number again.

"The phone you are calling is turned off."

There is a chime in the earpiece.

Ma Youfu was very disappointed and said, "Listen, it's better to turn off the phone." ”

I took Ma Youfu's mobile phone and wrote down Ma Pingtu's phone number. Because I feel that I should be able to find some clues through the detailed list on the phone.

I asked again: "Is there a place where Ma Pingtu buys waste products more regularly or often?" ”

Ma Youfu thought for a while and said: "This is not true, but he likes to go to the township to collect waste, because it is cheaper to collect waste in the township." Although the fare is a little higher, it is still more cost-effective than collecting waste in the city. Moreover, there are some regular old customers in the township, most of them are small bosses on the construction site, who can receive some scrap copper and rotten iron, and can also make some money. ”

I nodded and said, "Then which towns does he usually like to run to?" ”

Ma Youfu thought for a while and said: "The towns and villages that are closer to the city, such as Xiongjia, Xintian, Changling, and Gaofeng. ”

I nodded, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water and said, "Old man Ma, I will find Ma Pingtu as soon as possible according to these circumstances." ”

Ma Youfu's eyes lit up, and he held my hand tightly, full of excitement.

The most important thing about the information obtained from Mr. Ma is that Ma Pingtu brought a lot of cash, and someone knows about this money, so will this person nicknamed 'Da Zhuang' have anything to do with Ma Pingtu's disappearance? That's where I'm going to investigate next.
