Chapter 1: Late Night Encounter

Master Su parked the car at the intersection, took out the air freshener and sprayed it wildly in the back seat of the car. The back seat of the car was empty, but the smell of alcohol was too strong to dissolve.

It's been ten years since I opened the rental, and Master Su also feels tired, but life is pressing, there is still a son to provide, and a family to support, how can I say that I can't open it. He was on the night shift, and he had just pulled a happy woman. When the girl got into the car, she cried and said noisily that she didn't want to live.

As an old rental, what hasn't Master Su seen? At that time, Master Su thought that this girl must not vomit in her car, and whether she died or not after getting off the car had nothing to do with herself.

After soaking long enough in the world, people's hearts have become numb.

Just when Master Su felt that the smell of alcohol in the car had faded, and he turned around and was about to start the car again, the sight in front of him made him so shocked that his eyes were about to fall.

On the left side of the intersection, a middle-aged man jumped out, he turned around and shouted something behind him. Behind the man, about three or four hundred children. The children lined up, talking and laughing and running after the man.

Master Su rubbed his eyes, he was indeed not mistaken. In the middle of the night, three or four hundred children ran happily with a middle-aged man. The happy laughter of the children came from afar, chirping like a flock of birds out of the cage.

Master Su only felt that his scalp was numb, and the cold sweat of his vest flowed down his spine. He clung to the backrest of the driver's seat and didn't dare to move. He has lived for decades and has never seen such a peculiar thing.

Like a gust of wind, the group of children ran away, the laughter gradually dispersed, and the intersection remained empty, as if everything they had just seen was an illusion.

Master Su rolled down the window and spat out the car - this was a trick he used to ward off evil spirits. "It's time to ask for a peace charm." He thought: "I always encounter some unclean things when I work at night, and I have a charm that is more steady." ”

Early the next morning, Mr. Wang, a first-grade student at Chuntian Elementary School, walked into the classroom with the class bell ringing, and couldn't help but feel proud: "My time is so accurate!" He looked up and saw that there was no one in the classroom. Am I in the wrong classroom? He retreated to the outside of the classroom and glanced at the door frame suspiciously, "That's right! It's really the seventh class of the first grade, right? I should be teaching Chinese in the first class today? ”

Every time you take the first class, there are always two students who are late. However, it was the first time that Mr. Wang had encountered such a situation where the students in such a class were late. The sound of Lang Lang reading came from upstairs, but Teacher Wang felt that something was wrong in the school.

Looking at the empty playground, Mr. Wang couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that I made a mistake?" It's not a Monday, it's a Sunday? These reading sounds, in fact, I am having auditory hallucinations? ”

"Ahh He didn't even think about it, and instinctively ran towards the last room in this row of classrooms.

He ran into the classroom of the fifth class of the first grade, and saw Mr. Chen, who was about 40 years old, holding his chest with one hand and the lectern with the other, looking like he was about to fall down at any time. Teacher Chen's face was as white as paper, but his lips were red as blood, and his eyes were wide open, staring at a corner of the classroom, motionless.

"Teacher Chen!" Teacher Wang rushed over and shouted, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Teacher Chen trembled and stretched out his hand to point to the classroom, but he was still speechless.

The classrooms were just as empty.

At this time, the report phone of the Springfield Police Station was about to be blown up, and the detectives who took over the case were very busy. Another call came, "Hey, hello! ”

"My Xiaoyong is gone! Woo woo, you must help me. Another sad mother on the phone was crying bitterly.

"Okay, okay, please tell me your address, name, occupation......" He glared out the door dissatisfied.

Outside the police station, there was a lot of noise. Hundreds of parents of students blocked the door, as if they were about to storm the police station. In the distance, more parents of students flocked to the police station......

On Monday, July 23, all the students in grades 1 to 3 at Springfield Elementary School went missing overnight, making a total of 353 students missing. This case is also the Springfield 723 case. All of the missing students had no unusual behavior before the crime, and there were no traces of breaking down the door and picking the lock at the scene of the crime.

Through the monitoring, it can be clearly seen that at least some of the missing students came out of their homes yawning on their own. Then the students gathered together and walked towards the west of the county under the leadership of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a yellow checkered suit, with a medium build, a wide face, and a somewhat muscular look. His performance was a little abnormal, as if he had been drugged, and he was bouncing all the way. It can be roughly judged that at the time of the accident, his mind was abnormal.

Judging from the surveillance footage, it seems that he is the only adult who is around the children, so he may be the only suspect.

The identity of this man was quickly found out, he was a relatively wealthy "boss" in the county, his name was Wu Jiaxin. He owns two properties, which are basically rented out, and he can live well on rent. At the same time, his wife set up a small stall in front of Springfield Elementary School to sell snacks, and business was good.

Wu Jiaxin has no ambitions, he usually likes to play cards and buy lottery tickets, but his wife is very tight about money, and he doesn't gamble much, so it is unlikely that he will commit such a crime.

Tracking of the children has so far only revealed that the children have all left the city in a south-west direction, and no one has seen the children since. Springfield is close to the river, in fact, many detectives believe that these children have fallen into the river and will never be found again.

But no one dared to say these things.

The first thing the Springfield authorities thought of was to ask the province for help. Gu Tongli, a technical investigation expert in the province, listened to the general introduction of the case and said: "It is a very simple case, no one can abduct or kidnap more than 300 children overnight, so this must be a gang crime." What is their purpose? It is nothing more than seeking wealth and fame. Trust me, soon there will be a call from the kidnappers with their demands. ”

On the other hand, the Binjiang Special Affairs Office, which has a keen sense of smell, also smells a different smell of this case. Lee Myung-bak said frankly: "If only one person can solve this case, that person must be Witch Inspector Ren Qiuling!" ”

At the same time, the same words came out of the mouth of an old criminal investigator: "If only one person can solve this case, then this person must be Miss Ren Qiuling." ”

Summoned Ren Qiuling drove to Chuntian County, accompanied by Lao Ma, Heipi and Wen Xiaoyu.

In the car, Lao Ma said after reading the case: "This case must have been done by the suspect Wu Jiaxin, who has been locked up at present." His hobbies are playing cards and buying lottery tickets, which shows that he has the idea of getting something for nothing. What happens when you have this kind of thinking? He thought of a good plan to make a fortune: kidnapping! ”

Ren Qiuling asked, "So, why did he seem to be acting a little abnormal when the case happened?" In fact, Chuntian County is not big, and he is such a rich man, it should be said that the local agents basically know him. But when the detectives saw him walking ahead of the children, they thought that the man must be suffering from neurological symptoms. Therefore, he should usually be a more serious and stable man. ”

Lao Ma said confidently: "It's very simple: there is a drug in this case that we don't know about, in short, the three hundred missing children have a chance to take this drug." And what does Wu Jiaxin's wife do? She sells snacks in front of Springfield Elementary School. As soon as these two clues are linked, the answer can be immediately obtained: Wu Jiaxin's wife is his accomplice! Wu Jiaxin's wife put a certain drug in her snack, which is characterized by the ability to completely lose the child's willpower and obey someone's arrangement. However, because of negligence, Wu Jiaxin himself took this drug. He was an adult, and the drug had an effect on him, but he was still able to maintain a certain will and complete the kidnapping plan. ”

Ren Qiuling exclaimed: "Ah! Old Ma, your idea of solving the case is simply the same as that of an expert! ”

Lao Ma couldn't help but hear Ren Qiuling's words, and said, "This time I won't be wrong again!" Believe me, as long as you check Wu Jiaxin's wife, the truth of the case will be revealed! ”

In order to solve the 723 case, the Special Affairs Office gave Ren Qiuling the identity of a specially appointed interrogation expert. However, when the group arrived at the local police station, they found that the local police station did not buy it at all. "You're not an impostor, are you?" A local agent said: "A specialist has just arrived, and now another specialist has emerged. ”

was so angry that Ren Qiuling turned around and left. The agent shouted, "Keep them under control! Don't let them run! "The agents in the police station all gathered around.

Ren Qiuling shouted, "Who dares to stop me? By this time she had rushed to the door. A man in a green suit happened to walk in from outside the door, and when he looked at Ren Qiuling, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Ren Qiuling?" ”

Ren Qiuling was also stunned, "Gu Tongli, it's actually you?" There were already detectives behind her, and Ren Qiuling just stared at Gu Tongli coldly.

A local detective flattered and asked, "Expert Gu, may I ask who this girl is?" ”

Gu Tongli first turned his eyes away and said, "She is Miss Ren Qiuling, and she is also a good hand in the interrogation world. But the strange thing isβ€”" he stared at Ren Qiuling again, "just some time ago, all of her files suddenly disappeared, and even I couldn't find out who she is now. He stared at Ren Qiuling sharply, "What is your current identity?" ”

Ren Qiuling's file disappeared, of course, because of joining the Special Affairs Department. If you look carefully, you can still find some clues: her current address is in a ravine in a remote area.

Ren Qiuling sneered: "Ha, Expert Gu! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become an expert. When I was in school, I remember that your grades were not very good, huh? Usually I don't go to class, and I can only rely on cheating in exams, but such a person can actually be an expert? ”

Gu Tongli looked at Ren Qiuling with an injured gaze: "Qiuling, I told you that the things in the books are useless!" If you want to get things done, you'll have to mix in circles! Hang out with a bunch of millionaires and you're a millionaire; Hang out with a bunch of refugees, you're a refugee!"

Ren Qiuling said in disgust: "Shut up! Stop it! Expert Gu, what's your business? She leaned back, trying to keep her distance from Gu Tongli.

Gu Tongli closed his eyes and sighed, and said, "I'm here to solve the caseβ€”you too, right?" In that case, come with us in a meeting to discuss the merits of the case. ”

Ren Qiuling waved her hand and said, "Excuse me!" I solved the case with my feet! As he spoke, he was about to rush out.

Gu Tongli stopped her and said, "Don't play with the child's temper, who will solve the case with his feet?" You have to use your brain to solve the case! Let's discuss! ”

Ren Qiuling violently pushed Gu Tongli away and ran outside the door.
