"Fancheng."

"I'll go over, or you come over."

Tang Yunting's location was more than 1,000 kilometers away from Fancheng, and it was 9:13 in the middle of the night, and he was sitting in his office just after finishing his work.

On the desk was a cup of fragrant coffee, which he had just brewed.

"Come here."

"But I can't leave here." Tang Yunting took a sip of the coffee on the table. He narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes with satisfaction, put the cup down again, and waited for Lu Yuanhao's long-pondered answer.

"How much money you want, you can make a price."

"I'm more curious than the price, what happened to your eldest young master?" Tang Yunting was still slowly grinding Lu Yuanhao's patience like grinding soy milk. His tone was unhurried, so that Lu Yuanhao couldn't guess whether he would help him.

"This matter needs to wait for you."

"You know, you don't have to touch me for everything."

"I'm in Fancheng, with your profession, you should know what's going on."

"You're being targeted?" Tang Yunting half-joked. However, he also opened the webpage on his laptop after Lu Yuanhao mentioned it, and searched for the word Fancheng.

Liang Fang, Zhou Min were killed, and Ding Zhong and Le Yan disappeared, and this series of cases occupied the first page of the search. Just searched for the word Fancheng, and the news of several people having accidents was printed in Tang Yunting's eyes.

His originally breezy expression suddenly became serious, "Liang Fang, Zhou Min, Ding Zhong and Le Yan; Who do you want me to help? ”

"Ding Bell."

"A million."

"Deal."

At the end of the conversation, Tang Yunting hung up the phone and got up and closed the computer. After walking out of the office, he took his mobile phone and dialed another number: "Blue, I'm going to Fancheng to do some errands, and I'll leave it to you here." ”

Lu Yuanhao also transferred a deposit of 100,000 yuan to Tang Yunting's bank card after hanging up the phone.

Tang Yunting is a private investigator, but five years ago, he was the head of the serious crime team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. It's just that a particularly unpleasant thing happened five years ago, which made him leave his police career and start a private detective career.

Unlike other private investigators, he only takes on urgent and serious cases. like catching a junior; He never looks at stalkers.

January 5, 2009, 11 p.m. -

Tang Yunting, who was busy with everything, called Lan. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that such a big case had happened in Fancheng, but it would be a little difficult for him to move forward alone.

Lan is his right-hand man, and he may be able to help when he passes.

So he called Lan Ye to buy a ticket, and the two flew to Fancheng together the next day.

As expected, Lu Yuanhao came to the airport to greet him, followed by a thin woman. This woman...... Tang Yunting thought of the photo of Ding Zhong he saw on the Internet.

"This is Ding Xiao, Ding Zhong's sister." Of course, Lu Yuanhao saw the doubt in Tang Yunting's eyes, so he opened his mouth coldly to explain.

"Tang Yunting." Tang Yunting stretched out his hand to shake Ding Xiao. Ding Xiao was about to respond, but Lu Yuanhao took a step ahead of him to hold Tang Yunting's hand. "I've opened a hotel for you, next to my stay."

"Okay, thanks." Tang Yunting withdrew his hand and walked out of the airport with his luggage in tow.

Lu Yuanhao drove to the hotel, and Ding Xiao sat in the co-pilot, looking back at Tang Yunting through the front mirror.

Lu Yuanhao told her Tang Yunting's identity, and he said that Tang Yunting was a very capable person. When he was a police officer, he also solved an unsolved case more than ten years ago.

The car drove all the way to the underground parking lot of the five-star hotel, and several people got out of the car and took the elevator to the eighth floor. After putting the things away, several people gathered in Tang Yunting's room.

Ding Xiao told Tang Yunting word for word about the matter from beginning to end. After listening to this, Tang Yunting raised his hand and touched his chin, frowning and thinking: "Twenty days have passed since you saw the murderer to when your sister disappeared?" Tut...... It's been twenty days, and there hasn't been any movement from the police? ”

"We don't know if there's any movement, so we can only wait for the result."

Also, the police will not tell outsiders about the progress.

"It stands to reason that the murderer's target should be you, and it's been a long time since your sister disappeared. He can't just think that your sister is you, and he should still do something. ”

"The police sent someone to protect her in secret." Lu Yuanhao said.

"......" Tang Yunting fell silent, he guessed. You haven't seen the murderer's face, and you can only estimate his approximate size. ”

"Before, I could only estimate the size of the murderer, but ......" Ding Xiao bit his lip, thinking of the night of Christmas Eve. She had always trusted her instincts, so she believed that what she saw that night must be the murderer: "But now I know the shape of the murderer." With a height of 185, I estimate his weight to be around 150 due to the thickness of his winter clothes. ”

Tang Yunting nodded thoughtfully and put down the hand that was touching his chin. "I also saw other missing cases before I came, Le Yan, Xia Luoqing and Jiang Ming. The four people disappeared for about the same time, and Ding Deng's disappearance was because Ding Xiao had witnessed the murderer killing. And what about the other three? ”

"Maybe it wasn't the same person?" Lan spoke, who had been silent all the time sitting next to the sofa.

Lan is an assistant who has been with Tang Yunting for four years, and he is twenty-five this year.

He was rescued by Tang Yunting because of a chase and murder case, and he has been following him ever since. He is very smart, and sometimes he can solve things that Tang Yunting can't figure out.

"The disappearance of the four people caught up with Liang Fang and Zhou Min not long after their deaths, even if someone committed a crime, they would not dare to be on such a peak. So I think it's the same person who kidnapped these four people, and it's also the murderer of Liang Fang. Tang Yunting analyzed based on years of experience in handling cases.

It's just that he couldn't guess what the murderer's motive was, and the specific cause of Liang Fang's death......

Now that he doesn't work in the police department, he doesn't have access to a lot of relevant information. For example, there is an on-site investigation, and an autopsy report......

It's a real headache.

"Take me to the scene of the next incident tomorrow morning." Tang Yunting stood up, feeling like a send-off. "It's the scene of Ding Zhong's disappearance."

……

The exact location of Ding Deng's disappearance is still uncertain, and Lu Yuanhao can only take him to a large area of industrial areas.

Because the vicinity of the industrial zone is too remote, there is no surveillance and no eyewitnesses, and it is a strong winter snowstorm, there is really no clue at the scene.

In the past, the best time to commit crime was on a rainy day, but now it seems that not only rainy nights are the peak time for crime, but also snowy nights in winter.

Tang Yunting squatted under a jujube tree in the innermost part of the industrial zone. He imagined that Ding Zhong was led to the industrial area by the murderer, and then was knocked unconscious and kidnapped by the design. Or was it being attacked from behind by the murderer?

Staring at the thick snow under his feet, Tang Yunting broke a jujube branch and drew a map on the ground.

Although there is no surveillance in the industrial zone, if the murderer wants to tie a person out of the industrial zone, he will definitely enter the surveillance zone. However, the place where there is monitoring may not be fully illuminated, and there are blind spots in monitoring.

If the murderer chooses to kidnap here, it must have taken a long time. At least from the introduction to the perfect escape, it is not only necessary to find the right place to commit the murder, but also to find the perfect escape route.

The murderer is a crime, and he must not dare to stay in the city for too long. The route chosen to escape must also be the shortest, after all, everyone is afraid of emergencies.

"Blue."

"Master, you say."

"Go and help me find the most up-to-date and detailed map of the area around the industrial zone."

"Okay."

Ding Xiao and Lu Yuanhao stood aside and looked at Tang Yunting, and Ding Xiao kept frowning during the whole process. It's not that she doesn't believe that Tang Yunting can find the murderer, it's just that she's starting to be scared again.

Half a month has passed since Ding Deng's disappearance. She has seen the murderer's methods of killing, and she has learned many shocking unsolved cases when she was working. Most murderers have completely perverted their psychology when they commit crimes again and again.

She was afraid, afraid that when she found Ding Deng, she would be holding Ding Deng's cold corpse.

Like a case in South Korea a few years ago, a child died the day after he was kidnapped. But his parents searched for him for three months, and finally found his body by the river......

"Ding Xiao?" Lu Yuanhao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ding Xiao's eyes, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ding Xiao came back to his senses, "No, it's okay." ”

"If it's okay, go back first, I'll finish reading it here." Tang Yunting stood up and patted the snow dust on his hand, and walked towards Lu Yuanhao and Ding Xiao. "I think the police station should remove the people who are secretly protecting you, you better not go out alone in the future, be more careful in everything."

Ding Xiao nodded: "Thank you." That one...... May I ask? ”

"What." Tang Yunting put his hands in his clothes pockets. "Just ask whatever you want."

"My sister, when will I find it?"

"Hmm...... I try to find the killer within a month. I'll have to go to the police station in a while, and I'll have to understand a lot of details. ”

"I'm in trouble." Ding Xiao bent down slightly.

"Taking people's money, of course I have to solve this matter." Tang Yunting looked at Lu Yuanhao after speaking, and then without waiting for Ding Zhong's question, he stretched out his hand and patted Lu Yuanhao's shoulder: "Go first." ”

"Eh......" Ding Xiao turned to look at Tang Yunting's back as he left, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Lu Yuanhao: "What did he mean?" ”

Lu Yuanhao smiled lightly and raised his hand to caress the snowflakes above Ding Xiao's head. "It's not interesting, he's more of a joker. Let's go, I'll send you back. ”

Ding Xiao Nunu mouth. It's not that she can't see Lu Yuanhao's care for her these days, but she just ......

"Thank you."

"......" Lu Yuanhao was stunned.

"Let's go, I want to go to the hospital to see my mother."

"Okay, I'll drive you there." A smile gradually appeared in Lu Yuanhao's eyes. This was not because Ding Xiao said thank you to him, but he felt that Ding Xiao seemed to have figured it out, at least his expression didn't look so gloomy.

drove Ding Xiao to the hospital, and Lu Yuanhao also returned to the hotel. I've been busy with Ding Deng's business for a while, and the task given to him by his father hasn't been done yet.
