Chapter XI Contact of the Missing

"What about the tenant from before?" Sun Duo asked again.

The fat man blinked his eyes and said seriously, "When he left, he gave me back the key." ”

Lei Baoquan and the three of them exhaled depressedly, the landlord seemed to be quite energetic, but he seemed to be talking like he was not brainy.

"Team Lei, it may be that the previous tenant was equipped with the same key, so he was able to enter the house smoothly." Sun Duo guessed.

The fat man heard what Sun Duo said next to him, and hurriedly answered: "My key is not a good match." As he spoke, he held up his key and showed them it.

The three of them took it and looked at it, this is just an ordinary three-edged key, similar to the key of some anti-theft doors now, although this key is not very easy to match, but to this day, there are some professional locksmiths who have mastered this technology.

Sun Duo returned the key to the fat man and said, "This kind of key can now be exactly the same to the locksmith." ”

"No, no, no, I'm different from the average one, look here." Seeing that they didn't think so, the fat man raised the key and pointed to one of the corners and said, "This is what I deliberately made when I was matching the key before, and I drilled it for two whole days, and no one can copy it." ”

"How can you be so sure?" Li Bai didn't understand where the landlord's self-confidence came from.

The fat man put away the key and said lightly, "I used to be a locksmith. ”

On the way back from the scene of the crime, Lei Baoquan and Li Bai sat side by side in the back seat of the taxi, neither spoke to each other, and turned their heads out of the window, but they were thinking about the same thing, that is, the case just now.

"Alas, this eldest sister is really pitiful, and she hasn't found it yet." While waiting for the traffic light, the driver in the front seat suddenly sighed and said this.

The two people in the back retracted their thoughts at the same time. Sitting up and looking forward, Li Bai asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

The driver glanced back at Li Bai and pointed to the side of the sidewalk in front of him, where a woman with her hair tied was handing out leaflets to passers-by, and she was still talking about something while handing them out. It can be clearly seen. The woman's red and swollen eyes were evident that she had just cried.

"When I was driving at the police station yesterday, I saw this eldest sister, it seems that her daughter is missing, she can't find it, and she is in a hurry like something. It's also strange that her daughters are in their teens and can still go missing. The driver shook his head and said.

"Missing......" Li Bai turned around and asked Lei Baoquan: "Is it one of the two that Brother Duo said in the morning?" ”

"It should be." Lei Baoquan looked at the woman on the side of the road, looking tired. There was also a hint of desperation.

The green light turned on, the car started slowly again, and when they passed the woman, Lei Baoquan and Li Bai both saw the woman's pleading eyes, and longed for someone to show them a direction to find their daughter.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Lei Baoquan and Li Bai were still looking back, so he smiled and said, "Alas." This kind of thing happens every day, let alone Yungang City. Even the whole province, the whole country, the number of people who go missing every day has to be a thousand smaller, right? I can't find it. ”

"You're not right, 80 percent of those who are missing are unconscious children and old people who have lost their normal judgment, as you say, teenage girls. How could it be that it disappeared for no reason? Lei Baoquan said.

The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror, and didn't know how to answer for a while, Lei Baoquan continued: "This girl is not stupid, she is not disabled, and she has the ability to judge independently. Today's children are precocious, and the thinking of teenagers is also considered to be adults, and adults will not get lost by themselves, right? ”

The driver smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at this big brother, I didn't say anything, why did you still come at me?" I just said casually, how do I know what the hell is going on with them? ”

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense." Li Bai couldn't forget the woman's heartache eyes, and didn't want others to joke about it.

The driver was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll drive my car, right?" Then he glanced at them and thought to himself: Are these two people sick?

When the two returned home, the appearance of the female corpse just now still lingered in Li Bai's mind, he was lying on the bed, as long as he closed his eyes, the female corpse stared at him directly, making him unconsciously break out in a cold sweat.

Lei Baoquan soaked two bowls of noodles from the kitchen, brought them out, and said, "Let's make do with it at noon, and I will go to the bureau in the afternoon." ”

Li Bai sat up, looked at the steaming instant noodles, and said, "Is there only instant noodles?" ”

Lei Baoquan thought for a while and said, "There is still half a jar of sauced beef in the refrigerator, you can eat it." ”

Li Bai stood up, came to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, the half can of dark red sauce beef shrunk into a lump in the jar, which instantly reminded Li Bai of the viscous liquid on the female corpse's head, and immediately retched twice, quickly closed the refrigerator door and sat back.

"Don't you eat it?" Lei Baoquan asked when he saw that Li Bai had no appetite.

"The can is broken." Li Bai said.

"Impossible, I just opened it the day before yesterday, and it's not hot......" Before Lei Baoquan finished speaking, he understood what was going on from Li Bai's expression, so he nodded: "If it's broken, I won't eat it, I'll throw it away in a while." ”

Li Bai was thinking about something while eating noodles, Lei Baoquan poked him with chopsticks and said, "Hurry up and eat, don't think about it." ”

"I'm thinking, the one who died, it doesn't seem to be very old, it's only a teenager, and the missing one is also a high school student, could these two be the same person?" Li Bai put down his chopsticks and said to Lei Baoquan.

"What? Not scared again? Interested in this again? Lei Baoquan asked.

"I was scared for a while, and when I saw the corpse in the morning, I did panic for a while, but it was more disgusting. And if you think about it, if this dead girl is the one who is missing, then this matter is serious. Li Bai said as if he had determined something.

Lei Baoquan "cut" and said: "I found that you are always groundless, judging whether a thing is serious or not at will, so don't you have a weak heart?" ”

"This time is different, do you remember that Brother Duo said in the morning that there were two missing people, both of whom were women. And now a female corpse has been found, if the body is examined and determined to be one of them, then the other missing woman should also be a corpse now. Li Bai squinted his eyes and analyzed.

Lei Baoquan kept staring at him intently when he spoke, and there was something special in his eyes. Li Bai saw Lei Baoquan staring at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? Am I wrong again? Want to criticize me again? ”

Lei Baoquan smiled, shook his head, and said: "No, I want to say, what you said this time reminded me, maybe it may really be like this, I don't know why recently, serial murder cases have become popular, I think this female corpse must have something to do with the two people who disappeared before, maybe it is the beginning of a series of cases."
