Chapter 9: Bone Broth (1)

In the thriving District 6 of K-City, more and more people are mysteriously missing, and the eyes of the local police have been locked on one person.

The boss of the big bone broth, Meng Xiang, 48 years old, male, usually familiar with the neighborhood, honest, enthusiastic to help others, as long as the next door needs help, Lao Meng is always the first to appear, and the sister-in-law Wang in the alley next door has coveted Lao Meng for a long time.

All the neighbors did not understand why the police would lock their eyes on a person who had no motive for committing the crime and was very honest.

In fact, otherwise, the police's actions are grounded, and the neighbors don't understand because they can't judge rationally, and the police need evidence to solve the case, and the police have already mastered the relevant evidence and are preparing to take Meng Xiang to the police station for interrogation.

The blue and red flashing lights of the police car galloped towards the big bone broth restaurant, and the earth-shattering siren attracted the lively neighbors, and the police walked towards Meng Xiang.

"You're Meng Xiang, right?" The police officer asked tentatively, checking the images of the people shown in the documents.

"Yes... I just... Can I help you? I didn't do anything... Don't arrest me..."Meng Xiang hurriedly waved his hand in defense. But the police wouldn't listen to Meng Xiang's words, locked the handcuffs, and took Meng Xiang away in a hurry.

The neighbors are all talking, Sister-in-law Wang is also like an ant on a hot pot, her sweetheart has been taken away, how can she not be in a hurry? almost knelt in front of the police, begging them not to take away her Lao Meng.

When Meng Xiang was taken away, he was extremely flustered, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, of course, this is also the reaction of normal people, if you don't commit anything, you will be wrongly accused of being a criminal, and the expressions of normal and knowledgeable cultural elements will be discolored, not to mention an honest restaurant owner?

In the police station of District 6 of K City

"What are you doing at the grocery store on West Street on August 3rd?" The policeman asked in the tone of interrogating a criminal, patting the case. It seems to be confident about the event.

"Can I go to the grocery store?" Meng Xiangdi's voice trembled, sweating on his back, and the 20-degree air conditioner couldn't suppress the old man's restlessness.

"Of course I'm going to buy some soup base... Like goji berries and red dates like that... You can ask the owner of the grocery store what exactly I bought, I often buy from him... What the hell did I do? Cops... Please let me go..."The old man's innocent look made the sister-in-law Wang, who was observing everything with half her head on the windowsill, heartbroken.

Seeing this, the police changed their words, "Then on September 12th, you went to the Luodong community on East Street to stop and watch for a full 13 minutes?" What is your purpose? ”

"I'm waiting for an old friend! Let's meet to play chess.... Although I set up a bet, 5 yuan a handful, this will not be the reason why I was arrested..."Meng Xiang was so nervous that his breathing became more and more rapid.

The ensuing interrogation caught the police off guard.

Because the police found that there was one person in the location of many missing cases, that is, Meng Xiang, it can be indirectly shown that even if Meng Xiang is not the main culprit, there will be a great connection with these cases.

But unfortunately, in the next interrogation, every time the police fought-for-tat, Meng Xiang would resolve it with legitimate reasons and reasonableness. It's like tai chi, hard punches, fists fall on soft places, and there is no focus point.

The honest and honest Meng Xiang was released, and the police signaled that whenever there was a situation, Meng Xiang would be summoned, hoping to accept and cooperate. Meng Xiang also breathed a long sigh of relief after the rain, and Sister-in-law Wang rushed into Meng Xiang's arms when she saw this, full of joy.

Life went on, and missing persons cases also occurred repeatedly in District 6, and more and more people were ignorant and panicked.

And the key object of the police's surveillance, Meng Xiang, has not given up his big bone broth restaurant these days, and he has been running it conscientiously, and he is usually enthusiastic about helping the neighborhood as usual, without abnormality.

The police guessed that if this was the case, it should be their own intelligence or their own judgment error, because Meng Xiang did not have a clear motive for committing the crime, and the timing. In this way, the police withdrew the surveillance of the Big Bone Broth restaurant.

Binyuan Town, Xiyuan's home

Xiyuan listened to his father talking about the missing person case with his subordinates on the phone, and Xiyuan also listened to it clearly.

"With so many people in District 6 of K City, the missing population rate in District 6 and the average missing population rate in K City should also be a normal level, right?" Xi Yuan said without saltiness.

"What are you talking about? Although there are many evil images in K City, the crime solving rate is low, but there is no way to do it, our police are not doing their best, but the police force is indeed insufficient and there is a problem of people's customs in K City. I can assure my men that they are doing their duty. Xiyuan's father responded to the many cases of missing people in K City.

However, Xiyuan's words made Xiyuan's father thoughtful, and checked the internal data with his mobile phone.

"The proportion of missing people in District 6 of K-City is the highest in K-City, and it has decreased recently. However, it is still 20% higher than the average of other districts, so it must not be simple, and it is not like an ordinary missing person case. Xiyuan's father said slowly.

"Then let my brave and fearless, for the people, and my father, who protects my homeland, go to protect K City!" Xiyuan said with a grin.

Hearing his son praise himself like this, Xiyuan's father also blushed, "Go, go, this child." It's all nonsense. Although he said what he said, his face was full of embarrassment, and his mouth was grinning in a crooked arc.
