Chapter 196: Serial Disappearances
Qianzhi stayed in the world for about half a month and left, there was no special reason, it was Qianzhi herself who proposed to leave.
After Qianzhi left, her life during the day and at night was much more casual, but within two days, the two of them finally had something to do.
Someone came early in the morning, looking like a middle-aged man dressed very plainly, carrying an old black leather bag in his hand, his skin was a little rough, and his facial features were rough and his eyebrows were full of sorrow.
The man looked dusty, and when he saw the day, he cried bitterly and whimpered, "Help, help......"
Bai Bai was taken aback, "What's the matter, big brother, don't cry, what do you have to say." ”
During the day, I couldn't see others like this, so I hurriedly invited the man into the studio, handed over a cup of hot tea, and said, "Big brother, don't cry, you can say something." ”
The man wiped the tears from his eyes, and there was a desperate sadness in his still clear eyes, which looked like he had experienced some heavy blow.
"Master, save us, I'm afraid that our whole village will be lost if we wait any longer."
The man's words made the day and night very confused, what does it mean to lose the light?
"Big brother, is someone in your village losing it? However, if someone is lost, shouldn't you report it to the police for help, how did you find it here? "Strange during the day.
The sorrow on the man's face deepened when he heard this, and he sighed and sighed: "I found it, but it's useless to find the police, people should be lost or lost." ”
Day and night glanced at each other, "Big brother, tell me what the situation is." ”
The man nodded, and then told intermittently, it turned out that this man's name was Zhu Yumin, he was forty-six years old this year, and he was the head of their village.
About half a month ago, a young man in their village was found missing in the morning, and according to the young man's family, he had slept in his room at night, but the next morning his bed was empty.
The man's family called him and found that he didn't even have a mobile phone, and the family searched for him in the village and nearby for a long time without finding any trace of him.
Because there was nothing missing in the young man's room, and there was no trace of being turned over in the room, but the young man himself was gone, and the family thought that he might have gone out to play with friends, so they waited until the evening of the same day.
But in the evening, when the young man was still nowhere to be seen, his family became anxious, and the young man's father went to the town police station to report the case.
However, the case could not be opened until 24 hours later, and the police only made a record and asked the young man's father to go back and look for it, and if there was no news the next day, he would come back to the police station.
The family waited anxiously, but the young man did not return that night, and when the young man's father hurried to the police station the next morning, he met another family in the village who was also looking for their daughter.
It turned out that their daughter was also found missing in the morning, and if the boy was playful and didn't know where to go, this girl would not disappear for no reason.
The police station accepted the case of the young man's disappearance, and two policemen were sent into the village to investigate the situation and look around to find the young man's whereabouts.
No clues were found in the surrounding villages, so the police called up surveillance in various parts of the town and checked online to see if there were any things like tickets purchased by the young man's ID card.
The information on the Internet was quickly found and no purchase records of the young man's ID card were found, and the surveillance at various intersections in the town did not find any trace of the young man leaving the town after several hours of investigation.
Before the young man's affairs could be clarified, the girl's family also found the police station that night.
Although the girl was missing for less than 24 hours, combined with the disappearance of the young man, the police still attached great importance to this matter and immediately included the disappearance of the little girl in the scope of investigation.
But on the morning of the third day, someone disappeared in the village again, this time a strong man in his thirties, according to his wife, the two of them slept in the same bed at night, but when they woke up in the morning, they found that there was no one left.
The strong man's family was also looking for it, and after looking for a long time to no avail, thinking of the two people who had disappeared in the past two days, the strong man's family also went directly to the police station to report the case.
This was the case for three days in a row, and the police station could no longer care about the 24-hour rule that no one should file a case without a trace, and immediately dispatched most of the police force to investigate the case of three people in their village who had disappeared in a row.
But no matter what methods the police used to find out, there were always no clues.
On the fourth day of anxiety, the head of the police station stood at the door of the police station smoking a cigarette in the morning, and it didn't take long for another villager to come to report the case, and the same population was lost, and there was more than one.
This time, three people disappeared directly, and in just four days, six people had disappeared, and they were all things that happened in one village.
It was strange and weird, and none of them could figure out what would happen to these people who would disappear without a sound in the night.
The bigger the matter became, the more serious it became, and the head of the police station immediately reported the situation to the county police station, which sent two police officers from the criminal investigation team to assist in handling the case.
The criminal police investigated the scene at the missing person's home and collected fingerprints, but except for the fingerprint traces left by the missing person's family, no outsiders appeared.
The arrival of the fifth day was not only anxious for the chief, but also for the chief of police, because he heard the report that five more people in the village were missing.
It is really strange that people in a village have disappeared one after another, and no clues have been found.
However, because the missing people were all from the same village, the director suspected that someone from his own village might have committed the crime, or someone might have committed a crime against someone from this village.
However, after careful investigation and visits, no suspicious people were found in the village, nor did they find that there was any major conflict between this village and other villages or people.
There is no surveillance in the village, but there are surveillance at almost every intersection in the town, but for so many days in a row, all the surveillance has not been seen at all, but not a single missing person has been seen on the surveillance.
All this evidence shows that the missing people did not leave the town, so the scope of their investigation is only to visit the village, but let the police rummag through the surrounding villages, not only did not find a single figure, but the others should be lost or lost.
In the course of a week, more than 20 people in the village had disappeared, and this strange phenomenon made all the villagers panic, fearing that they might not be the next one.
Every day passes, new people in the village disappear, and gradually many people do not dare to live in the village, some go to live with relatives temporarily, some go out of the city to work, but most of them are farmers with roots here, and there is no other place to go except to stay here.
Listening to Zhu Yumin's account of this, he already had a general understanding of the situation during the day and at night, but thinking that these villagers were not seen at night, he couldn't help asking: "Since they all disappeared at night, didn't the police investigate at night?" ”
"Why not, the police have set up cards at several entrances and exits of the village, and have sent a few policemen to take turns to patrol the village, and they will not stop all night, but no one should be seen or not, and there is no sound at all."
"This is really strange, but the nature of the case is very serious because so many people have disappeared, and the government should take relevant countermeasures." This related countermeasure is naturally to assign people like them to specialize in art during the day.
Zhu Yumin understood what he was referring to, shook his head and said: "The county government has indeed reacted to the upper echelons, this is the transmission of this layer by layer, and then the order is issued to send someone over, I don't know how many days later." ”
"Why are the people who lost them all from your village, and there hasn't been a situation like this in other villages?" Doubts during the day.
"Nope." Zhu Yumin was particularly sure.
"How so?" Bai Bai frowned and looked at Ling Ye, but found that Ling Ye also looked puzzled, "Ling Ye, can't you figure it out?" ”
"I really don't have a clue for a while, and I have to go to the village to see the specific situation."
Ling Ye said this, and immediately nodded during the day, looked at Zhu Yumin and said, "Okay, we probably understand the matter, and we will follow you to your village now." ”
"So, you're willing to help me?" Zhu Yumin stood up excitedly, saw Bai Bai nodding, instantly cried with joy and red eyes, reached out and grabbed his old leather bag on the chair, opened it and took out a few stacks of new and old hundred-yuan bills inside, and handed it to Bai Bai, "These 30,000 yuan are made up by every household in our village, as long as the two of you can help us find the lost villagers, we will try our best to give you more money to repay ......"
"Brother Zhu, you're welcome." During the day, he pushed back the money that Zhu Yumin offered with both hands, "We helped with this, but we won't charge you money." ”
"Are you too little, I inquired when I came, and I know that it will take a lot of money to ask you to handle such a big case......" Zhu Yumin said and lowered his head a little ashamedly, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you can help find people, we will find a way to give you as much as you want." ”
"Brother Zhu......" Bai Bai smiled, "I'm not too little, I really don't take your money." We are mages, and it is the duty of mages to cut down evil and eliminate evil, although we do ask for remuneration when we take on cases, but now it is a major matter related to the people, and it doesn't matter whether the money is money or not. ”
"Are you really willing to help us with money?" Zhu Yumin still can't believe that who would do that kind of thankless thing in the current society.
"Really, this matter is urgent, let's go." As he spoke, he asked again during the day, "Brother Zhu, how did you come here?" ”
"I came overnight by train." Zhu Yumin replied.
"Oh, where is the location of your village?"
"City B, Hongdong County, Linxi Village."
