It's late at night. www.biquge.info It was a cloudy night, and the moon hid behind the clouds and refused to show its face, only occasionally peeking through the cracks in the clouds, and then hiding silently.

The autumn breeze is blowing. The grove opposite the Outer Ring Public Security Bureau has turned from a lush verdant color to a golden yellow. The wind was strong tonight, and the few remaining leaves on the trees were torn off by the strong winds, making the whole forest even more desolate. However, on such a cold night, in this deserted grove, there were two figures active.

"Hmm......" The woman was almost out of breath when she was kissed by the man, and she pushed twice on the man's chest, "I hate ......"

"Hate?" The man smiled narrowly, "Don't you really want it?" ”

The woman pushed the man again, allowing the man to hold herself in her arms, and a pair of big hands roamed around her body.

The man's gasping became heavier, and he pressed the woman against the trunk of the tree, lifted the woman's skirt with his hands, and hurriedly stripped the woman's lower clothes.

The woman struggled weakly, a little reluctantly: "Can't we just go and open a room?" ”

"I just love the thrill." The man's red eyes lifted the woman's last defense, took off his pants, and pounced on them nakedly.

The sound of suppressed joy resounded in the grove.

The man stood on the ground, his lower body and the woman tightly together, and his legs worked desperately to make a shallow pit on the ground. In a few moments, the man let out a muffled roar, and the arm around the woman was released.

The woman pushed the man away, took a tissue from her bag and wiped her lower body, then bent down to pick up the skirt and socks that had fallen on the ground. Just then, just as the moon peeked out of the clouds, and the woods were a little brighter, the woman happened to see something strange in the pit at the man's feet.

"Hey, what's that under your feet?" The woman asked curiously.

"What?" The man had not yet recovered from the weariness and emptiness of the passion, and he had not heard what the woman was saying.

"You stand on the side." The woman squatted on the ground, pushed the man to the side, picked up a dead branch from the ground, and pulled it in the small pit a few times. She had just seen something shiny in the small pit by the moonlight, and this unexpected discovery couldn't help but make her a little tempted.

Sure enough, before she could dig a few times, a small, round, shiny thing was dug up. The woman carefully picked it up, held it in her palm and looked at it, then her eyes widened in surprise.

"What are you doing?" The man noticed the woman's strange behavior and leaned over as well. When he saw the things in the woman's hand, he couldn't help but be full of joy.

"This is a diamond ring?!" The man exclaimed in surprise.

"Shhhh The woman clutched the ring tightly in her hand, as if she was afraid that it would grow wings and fly away. "Others let people hear."

"Who is there anyone else in this wilderness?" The man laughed lewdly. "Let me see."

The woman hesitated, opened her palm, and the man snatched it, looked carefully in the cold moonlight, and then rubbed it in her hand repeatedly.

"Is it true?" The woman was still a little skeptical and couldn't believe that she would run into this kind of good luck.

"It should be true." The man seemed sure. The diamonds in that ring were very large, obviously worth a lot of money, and not even the rich could afford them.

Without even thinking about it, the man put the ring in the inner pocket of his jacket. The woman's lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all.

The man squatted down and dug in the small pit with his bare hands, urging the woman: "Come and help, maybe there are other good things down here!" ”

The two of them are like Ali Baba, who accidentally discovered the treasure, feverishly digging the pit. Soon, the pit was dug very deep. Digging and digging, the man's fingertips suddenly touched a hard object, poking his fingertips painfully. In the moonlight, the thing shone with a cold white light.

The man immediately came to his senses, and dug harder, and in a few clicks, the white thing was about to be dug out. The man gently brushed the dirt off it, but was stunned.

After a few seconds, the frightened screams of men and women rang out in the woods!

It was night, and the lights were still on at the Outer Ring Public Security Bureau, in addition to the police on duty, there was also Xie Rui, who was studying the file.

Since Liu Changfa was classified as missing, there have been a number of missing cases in the city. The director was worried about who to hand over this tricky case to, but he didn't expect Xie Rui to take the initiative to break into the door.

"Bureau Li, I request to take over these disappearance cases!" Xie Rui said firmly.

"Oh? Why? Li Ju raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Xie Rui's eyes dimmed for a second, and then flashed with a sharp light: "I have a very strong relationship with Brother Liu, I must find him!" ”

Li Ju smiled and felt relieved: "Xiao Xie, although you have not been in the industry for a long time, your work performance is very good, and you are worthy of being a high-achieving student who graduated from a famous police academy." Especially in the ring bridge case some time ago, you performed very prominently, and even the leaders above praised you! Since you are so eager to take on this case, then I will leave it to you. You have to work hard and don't let us down! ”

"Don't worry about Bureau Li, I will definitely find Brother Liu and the other missing people!" Xie Rui said with a firm gaze.

Li Ju leaned back in the chair and said with a heavy expression: "Lao Liu is our old police officer here, and everyone is sad about him." In any case, the family should always be given an explanation. ”

The implication of Li Ju's words could not be more obvious: Liu Changfa has been missing for so long, and the hope of survival is almost zero. It's not easy to find his body now, and I'm thankful for any news.

Of course, Xie Rui understood what he meant, but he was not someone who gave up so easily. He didn't say anything, nodded to Bureau Li, turned around and left his office.

From that day on, Xie Rui officially became the police officer in charge of Liu Changfa and other disappearances. As long as he was in his office, he buried himself in the file, studying the scene records of all the cases and the records of witnesses and family members; When he is not in the office, he must visit the families and colleagues of the missing, or go to the places where the missing person was witnessed before his death to look for clues.

However, as he investigated, the more he felt that there was something unusual about these cases: on the surface, the missing persons in these disappearances had no intersection with each other, and the possibility of the same criminal committing the crime could be basically ruled out; However, there is one extremely subtle link between these seemingly isolated cases, and that is that after these disappeared persons were reported missing, they were all witnessed elsewhere. These people, who had been reported missing by their loved ones, mysteriously appeared in other places a few days later, neither going to work nor returning home, but appearing in random places, and then, mysteriously disappearing again, never to be seen again.

Xie Rui's eyes were firmly fixed on the file of the second missing person: Zhao Lei, female, 16 years old, a senior high school student at the city's No. 2 Senior High School. One day a few months ago, her father went to pick her up for the next night of self-study, but he couldn't pick up his daughter. In a panic, he went to the school teacher, only to be told that his daughter had gone out to the toilet during the evening self-study and never returned......

Zhao Lei's parents chose to call the police after searching for no results, but the girl disappeared like the world and disappeared without a trace. Parents on the verge of collapse had no choice but to post missing person notices on the streets and alleys, and spend money to post missing person advertisements on TV, hoping for a miracle.

However, the "miracle" really happened. The day after the TV search for missing persons was broadcast, Zhao Lei's home received a call from a witness claiming to have seen their daughter on the pedestrian street!

Unfortunately, the witness said on the phone that after he saw the advertisement, he saw a girl suspected of Zhao Lei on the pedestrian street not long after. He immediately took a picture of the girl and chased after her. Unfortunately, the girl's pace was so fast and her body was erratic that he lost it.

Zhao Lei's parents experienced a major blow from heaven to hell and almost collapsed. They sent the photo taken by the witness to the police, hoping that they would find some clues from the photo. At first, they made countless phone calls to the police station every day to inquire about the progress of the case, but after a few months, with repeated disappointments and blows, their calls gradually became scarce.

Now the photo is on Xie Rui's desk. The photograph was taken at night, with the back of a girl in a school uniform faintly visible under the bright neon lights of the pedestrian street, and Zhao Lei's parents said they knew it was their daughter.

Xie Rui didn't know how many times he had studied this photo, but he racked his brains, but he didn't find any clues. Xie Rui held the photo in his hand, leaned back in the chair and sighed, a deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body.

He hadn't rested for a moment all day, and he was ready to rest his sour eyes. However, just a few seconds after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a loud noise in the hallway.

Xie Rui opened his eyes, frowned, stood up and went outside to take a look. I saw that in the report room, the pony on duty frowned and kept gesticulating, trying to calm down the man and woman in front of him. And the man and woman in front of him were obviously in extreme panic at the moment, screaming and screaming.

"Pony, what's going on?" Xie Rui stepped forward and asked.

Xiaoma, a college student who had just graduated, saw that it was Xie Rui, and complained distressedly: "Brother Xie, these two people are somehow scared like this, and they can't even speak clearly." ”

"I'll ask." Xie Rui said to the man and woman: "You two calm down, no matter what happens, the police will solve it for you, there is no need to be so alarmed." ”

The woman with curly yellow hair, a red down jacket on her upper body, and a ****** on her lower body, wept bitterly and couldn't say anything. The man next to her had oily messy hair and a fleshy face with a dull expression, but his whole body trembled, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in his mouth.

Xie Rui asked Xiaoma to pour two cups of hot water for the two of them, and the two of them held the hot water, and finally slowly calmed down a little.

"Police, officer." The man was finally able to organize the full language. "I, we saw ......"

Xie Rui and Pony waited patiently for him to continue, but unexpectedly, he was stuck here, looking like he was about to faint.

"What the hell do you see?" Pony asked, breathless, a little impatient.

The woman who had been crying next to her suddenly broke down and shouted, "We saw the dead!" Then he went limp, and he fell.

The pony quickly helped her up and examined her condition closely, revealing that she had fainted.

The pony was among the people who were scrambling her on the side, but Xie Rui asked the man with a serious face, "She said you saw the dead man just now?" ”

The man seemed to be inspired by the woman's courage, but calmed down a lot. He nodded and said, "That's right, officer." We just saw ...... Uh, got it...... Dead person. ”

"Where did you see that?" Xie Rui asked.

"It's ...... It's right across from the grove. ”

"When did you see it?" Xie Rui then asked.

"Just now."

"Take me right away." Xie Rui stood up and walked outside, only to find that the man had not followed. When he looked back, it turned out that the man was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he even struggled to stand up.

Xie Rui shook his head helplessly, went up and pulled the man up, and walked out of the police station with him half-dragged and half-helped.

Xie Rui was guided by the man and came to the small forest opposite the police station, and there was indeed a shallow pit in the small clearing in the middle of the forest.

Seeing the pit, the man refused to go any further. He trembled and pointed to the pit: "That's it...... It's right inside......"

Xie Rui walked to the edge of the pit and squatted down to look inside. Although the woods were dim, he could see clearly, and there was a human skull in the pit!

Xie Rui didn't dare to destroy the scene, and immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call. Half an hour later, several police cars roared up, and a large group of people, including police officers and forensic doctors, got out of the cars, and the scene was immediately protected.

The forensic doctor jumped into the pit and carefully handled the skull in the pit with the tools in his hand. Xie Rui's leader, the short and sturdy Li Tiejun, stood next to Xie Rui, watching the forensic work, and asked Xie Rui, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Rui pointed to the man next to him with a dull face: "He and a woman found it." ”

Li Tiejun looked at the man, with a terrifying momentum that was not angry and self-threatening: "How did you find out?" ”

"This ......," the man suddenly couldn't speak.

"Take him back and take notes." Li Tiejun waved his hand, and a young police officer next to him immediately walked up: "Please help us make a record." ”

The man was taken away by the young police officer, and he could still be heard shouting wrongs from a distance, Xie Rui couldn't help but feel a little helpless: no one said that he did it!

After a while, the fat forensic doctor who was sweating profusely jumped up from the pit: "Preliminary judgment, the deceased is a woman, the time of death is more than three months, and the cause of death cannot be judged for the time being. ”

"Xiao Xie, go back and check the records of missing persons within a year and a half, and screen them." Li Tiejun said.

Xie Rui answered, turned around and walked towards the police station. I took a step when I suddenly felt a pain in the soles of my feet. He lifted his right foot and pulled out a hard metal object from the sole of his shoe, and his eyes widened in shock when he saw what it was! (To be continued.) )
