Chapter 1 Disappearance

Next Chapter

In M City in May, the breeze was slightly cool, the sun was not warm, at the door of the police station, Lin Ling shook her head hard, trying to concentrate, it was useless, and her thoughts were still coerced by memories:

Briefcases, high heels, black silk, blazers, and ties that were ripped off indiscriminately were scattered all over the place......

A stumble, she almost fell, and hurriedly held on to the doorpost of the police station.

Damn it, the moans and pants of love between men and women, the humid air mixed with the smell of sweat and perfume, like some kind of dark and vicious Gu that attacked her unexpectedly.

The cold light of the fruit blade shaking in front of him, the red blood, the ambulance, a plain white, the smell of disinfectant water......

Lin Ling calmed down, opened the door of the police station forcefully, strode into the police office hall, and said to the police officer who received her: "I haven't been able to contact my husband all day." ”

"More than 24 hours?" The police raised their eyes and looked inquiringly at the woman who came to report the case.

"Well, I think about it, the last time I saw him was yesterday morning, he went to work at eight or nine o'clock as usual, and it has been 24 hours this morning" Lin Ling chatted with the police, raised her hand and pulled the collar, shrunk her neck in, and just caught a glimpse of her left wrist out of the corner of her eye, the delicate diamond-encrusted bracelet was embellished on her left wrist, Lin Ling quickly put down her left hand and put it in her coat pocket.

"It's so cold," Lin Ling said thoughtlessly.

"You haven't been in touch since your husband went to work?" The police officer asked

"I messaged and he didn't reply. I called him in the evening and no one answered. ”

"Oh?" The policeman moved the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

Seeing the uncertain expression of the policeman, Lin Ling lowered her head, and the left index finger in her coat pocket gently stroked the pendant hanging down from the bracelet, which was a habit developed in the past two years, whenever she felt cramped, she would subconsciously shake her wrist to let the pendant touch the palm of her hand, and her index finger and middle finger rubbed the pendant repeatedly.

"Here, fill out the form and register," the policeman said, handing over a form.

Seeing that Lin Ling was standing still, he raised his voice and shouted, "Hey? Say what about you, come and fill out the form."

was cold, which startled Lin Ling.

……

Three days later, a police officer contacted Lin Ling and said he had come home at 10 a.m. to learn about Zheng Jun's disappearance. Lin Ling took advantage of the fact that it was not ten o'clock and began to tidy up the room, until she stood in the room and looked around repeatedly, and felt that the room had been cleaned up, so she breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

Lin Ling took a look at the home clothes she was wearing again, made her hair fluffy and messy, and looked at the mirror intently.

The girl in the mirror is still fresh and literary, and her watery eyes are crystal clear. At the beginning of his acquaintance with Zheng Jun, he was already a well-known lecturer in the up-and-coming training industry, and he trained countless trainees.

And Lin Ling, with her simple and youthful image and cold temperament, made him fall in love at first sight.

fell in love, got married, and became a veritable Mrs. Zheng.

Lin Ling showed a signature sweet smile to herself in the mirror, she hadn't seen herself smile like this for a long time.

Walk to the front of the sofa, sit down to rest, and take out your phone to check the time. At this time, a WeChat friend addition application came in from the mobile phone, Lin Ling didn't want to pay attention to it, but she didn't expect to apply for it again after a while, the reason for adding: Do you think God doesn't know it?

Lin Ling's hand trembled, her heart pounded, and she pondered for a moment, could it be ......? I clicked Agree.

At this time, remembering the knock on the door, Lin Ling closed the WeChat dialog box, locked the screen of the mobile phone, got up and walked quickly to the door, opened the door and welcomed the police officer in.

"Hello, Mrs. Zheng, my surname is Cao, you went to the police station a few days ago to report that your lover is missing, right!" After Officer Cao reported his home, he showed his police ID card, and then looked around the room.

This visiting police officer Cao, with a Chinese face, dark skin, is thin and tall, with sharp eyes, and looks shrewd and capable.

"Officer Cao, please come in" Lin Ling enthusiastically let Officer Cao into the living room, raised her hand and asked the officer to sit on the sofa.

Officer Cao raised his eyes and looked Lin Ling up and down, glanced towards the bedroom, sat on the sofa, took off the officer's hat, arranged his hairstyle, and put the officer's hat on his arm. A kind of police officer's majesty that is intimidating.

Lin Ling moved a chair and sat opposite Officer Cao.

"Hasn't Zheng Jun contacted you so far?" Officer Cao asked

"No, the night I came back from the police station, I called my relatives and friends again, and they all said that I hadn't seen him" said Lin Ling picked up her mobile phone and rummaged through the phone records of the outbound call last night.

Officer Cao waved his hand and motioned for her to stop.

He and Zheng Jun came to M City a few years ago to work hard, and there are only a few relatives and friends who have met here, and they are usually busy with their respective work and life, and they are often contacted for a few months, and there will be no gain at all in them. Clearly, Officer Cao understands this.

"Do you try to recall that before Zheng Jun disappeared, there were any unusual behaviors?" Officer Cao looked at Lin Ling and asked.

"Unusual behavior? No" Lin Ling sat upright, her eyes did not dodge, and met Officer Cao's gaze. The right hand is placed between the knees, and the left hand is naturally bent and drooping, Lin Ling likes this sitting position, so that the pendant of the left hand bracelet can be held in the palm of her hand, which makes her feel stable.

"Your bracelet is quite chic" Officer Cao also seemed to notice this, and couldn't help asking, "Did Zheng Jun send it?" ”

"No, I bought it myself," Lin Ling replied

Officer Cao raised his head, looked at Lin Ling with interest, seemed to be considering the words, and then said slowly: "You are such a literary girl, you may not have the habit of wearing jewelry, you look at the enlarged wedding photo on your bedroom wall facing the bedroom door, the necklace is not worn, far away, I really can't see whether you have a bracelet or not." Officer Cao said, got up, and walked towards the bedroom.

"No, Officer Cao." Lin Ling said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The photographer said that the wedding dress I chose is not suitable for wearing jewelry" Lin Ling shrugged her shoulders.

"That's good, my husband didn't give me any jewelry after that" Lin Ling made a helpless expression.

"Can I take a look at your bracelet?" Officer Cao stopped, turned around and asked.

"Uh, yes" Lin Ling glanced at Officer Cao slightly, "This is a custom bracelet, the pendant is engraved with two lls, that is the initials of my name Lin Ling" said as he got up and took off the bracelet, walked over and handed it to Officer Cao.

Officer Cao was startled, raised his eyebrows, and didn't reach out to take the bracelet for a long time, he looked at the bracelet, then at Lin Ling, and said, "The bracelet is indeed very chic, you can bring it."

Lin Ling kept smiling and put the bracelet on in front of Officer Cao.

For a minute or two, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Ahem" Officer Cao cleared his throat, "Do you think of any clues to contact me, by the way, I can use the bathroom" Officer Cao asked.

"Please, the bathroom is over there," Lin Ling said, gesturing to the side of the bedroom.

Officer Cao came out of the bathroom and said as he walked to the door: "It's not too early, I still have to go to Zheng Jun's company and say goodbye."

"Goodbye, I'll contact you if you think of anything" The moment the door was closed, Lin Ling restrained the smile on her face, pulled off the bracelet she had just buckled, and an ugly scar was revealed on her left wrist, Lin Ling squatted on the ground and held the scar tightly with her right hand, as if she would die if she let go.

Officer Cao left Lin Ling's house, he remembered the male corpse found in the suburbs this morning, and a wallet not far from the place where the body was dumped, and there was an ID card in the wallet, name: Zheng Jun!
