Chapter XVI: Disappearances
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Qin Ming was already carrying his khaki backpack and following the bustling crowd out of the South Railway Station of Heyuan City.
After leaving the train station, he took a taxi and went to a neighborhood near Anyang Road.
The taxi driver, a middle-aged man who looked a little greasy, turned on the radio very loudly as if he had bad ears from the moment he got into the car.
"According to the latest news, another high school sophomore went missing last night, which is the fifth case of missing people in the city in the past week.
The police are working hard to solve the problem.
Of course, we would also like to remind all listeners and friends, especially those who have children at home, that school is quite late now, so it is better to pick up as many children as possible.
Or let your child go home with his classmates after school......"
"Yes, there's another one."
At this time, the driver suddenly turned off the radio, as if looking for some resonance, and said with emotion.
"Are all the students missing?"
What was said on the radio just now, Qin Ming naturally heard it clearly when he sat in the back, and couldn't help but ask the driver in response.
"Not all, there seems to be someone in their thirties, but most of them are students, or young.
I don't know why the law and order are so bad now, how can several big living people say that they are gone. ”
The driver said this to himself, and suddenly glanced at Qin Ming through the reversing mirror, and then asked:
"Young man, don't you have a local accent and go to school here?"
"Don't go to school here, come and meet a friend."
Qin Ming symbolically replied to the driver, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the destination of his trip.
After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Qin Ming looked at the community called Heyuan Flower Garden in front of him.
The community looks like it has been around for some years, because it belongs to the kind of multi-storey residential buildings, compared with the high-rise buildings with more than ten or twenty floors at every turn, there is more or less the atmosphere of the times.
He took a taxi to come here, of course, not to meet a friend, as the driver said.
In fact, this community is the examination room provided by the school for his midterm exam.
Although Xia Jie said that the difference between the midterm exam and the monthly exam is only that it needs to be carried out alone, in Qin Ming's opinion, whether it is the length of the exam or the reward for learning points, it is a little different from the monthly exam.
Because not only the duration of the exam, but also 10 days.
Even the reward for passing the exam is up to 10 points.
"This incident has not even begun, but it is unusual."
Qin Ming looked at the community where people occasionally came and went, and muttered in his heart.
He didn't go into the neighborhood to look around, but opened the map and located the nearest police station, obviously intending to go over to find out the situation first.
After coming to the police station, Qin Ming quickly gained the trust of the police and began to focus on learning about the relevant news about the Heyuan Huayuan Community.
"You mean, someone jumped off the building in the neighborhood a few days ago?"
When he heard the police say that someone committed suicide in the community, Qin Ming was a little surprised, after all, as a victim who may be killed by sneak, it is undoubtedly rare to die in this way like suicide.
"Well, it's just that I can't think of suicide, and it's been ruled out that it's murder."
Seeing that Qin Ming was a little surprised, the police specially added.
"What is the name of the dead man?"
"A man named Zhang Yaolong lives in Unit 601, Unit 2, Building 3."
"What does he do? Why do you commit suicide? Do you know this? ”
"It's by design, and if you commit suicide, it's because of depression.
Oh yes, he's also a writer. ”
"And does he have any family?"
"No, he lives alone in the city, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and his parents are out of town."
"Does he have any friends here?"
"I don't have many friends, but I have a good relationship with him, called Chen Dacheng.
The two were high school classmates. Usually the correspondence is quite close. ”
Qin Ming secretly remembered this Chen Dacheng, and then asked for the mobile phone numbers of Chen Dacheng and the deceased's parents from the police.
After all, judging from past experience, the people around the deceased are likely to become sneaky next targets.
Besides, as a good friend of the deceased, he felt that Chen Dacheng should also be able to understand some things that outsiders did not know.
Coming out of the police station, Qin Ming did not immediately contact Chen Dacheng, but went to the criminal police brigade again.
I want to know what happened to the disappearances that I heard on the radio in the morning.
Although the police at the police station did not say that someone had disappeared in the Heyuan Huayuan community recently, during the exam, many people went missing, and Qin Ming felt that it was still necessary to figure it out.
Compared with the police station, the criminal police brigade is much busier than the latter in terms of perception and perception.
Although it is not as exaggerated as in the TV series, it is still a bit urgent and depressing.
"This is the full profile of the missing people in recent days.
You can take a look at it first. ”
The captain of the criminal police team is a middle-aged man with very sharp eyes, even if he looks at Qin Ming's student ID, he is still a little skeptical.
Qin Ming was not the only captain who doubted his identity, because he had full confidence in the camouflage effect of the student card.
The other party gave him a total of six people's information, and one more person than mentioned on the radio.
I looked at it, and four of the six people were students.
The other two are 35-year-old employees of a state-owned enterprise, and the other is a worker who has just quit his job.
And among those four students, one is a junior high school student, two are high school students, and one is a college student.
According to the information provided by the police, they did not find any connection from several missing persons.
It's almost a few, people who can't be beaten at all.
"The night was still there, but when I got up the next morning, the person was gone......"
Qin Ming looked at some of the things investigated by the police, and summed it up in one sentence, these people seemed to have evaporated from the world, and suddenly disappeared cleanly.
It doesn't look like an ordinary disappearance at all.
Remembering the general information of the above people, Qin Ming didn't ask much, after all, this kind of thing involving supernatural events is very different from the police's way of investigating and collecting evidence.
Clues that are useful for the investigation of paranormal events may only be regarded as gibberish for the police.
Don't even bother to record the estimates.
Therefore, he did not expect to find anything from the clues collected by the police that would be of great help to him to unravel the truth of the incident.
