(Thank you friend Chau534 for your tip~~)

Mu Qingcheng took a hot shower thoroughly, full of energy and indescribably comfortable, when he changed into a refreshing casual suit and walked out of the house, Xie Lin and Kelly also returned to the next room.

Kelly and Xie Lin stood side by side, one person and one ghost got along very harmoniously, Kelly half-bowed her head, her lips muttered, as if she was praying, Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but have a strange feeling, after all, traditionally, Xie Lin is dead, it's okay to pray, but in terms of supernatural things, Xie Lin has transformed into a special life, retaining her memory and thinking ability before her death, and gaining super-mundane power.

Although there is a slight inconvenience, it can be regarded as the continuation and sublimation of life.

However, Mu Qingcheng didn't bother, and after a while, Kelly finished praying, turned her head and said, "Xie Lin's bones are put here for the time being, it's not too early, you hurry up and go back to the bureau with me." ”

"Okay. Mu Qingcheng nodded, and looked at Xie Lin with some hesitation.

Xie Lin smiled knowingly: "You go and get busy, don't pay attention to me, I can do housework, I can turn on the TV to watch, and even cook dinner for you, my specialty is Bao Gong Fish, Xiaoyao Chicken, Sanhe Rice Dumplings, Feixi Old Hen Soup and Knife Noodles, authentic Luzhou taste, my parents were full of praise for eating at the beginning, or if you are not taboo, I can also help you wash clothes and bed sheets and bedding." “

Kelly was surprised: "Xie Lin, aren't you a ghost, ghosts can do these things?"

Xie Lin hesitated: "I'm not an ordinary ghost, but a resentful spirit in your mouth, in addition to not having a human body, I can manipulate matter in general, I can't tell the specific situation, maybe it's related to resentment." “

Mu Qingcheng recalled that Xie Lin rolled up the lamp and smashed his arm last night, but he was also relieved, and smiled slightly: "I have to come back late in the evening, let's eat your cooking another day when I have time, but I don't mind you helping me wash my clothes, this is a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy, what about you, Officer Kelly?

To tell the truth, let a ghost help her wash her clothes, even if Kelly can already get along with Xie Lin calmly, there is always a little hair in her heart, but looking at Xie Lin's expectant gaze, she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she had to smile and say: "Then trouble you, I'll come back in two days to get it." ”

"Hmm!" Xie Lin nodded happily, obviously having something to do to pass the time.

"Goodbye, Schelle!"

Kelly waved her hand and walked out of the house with Mu Qingcheng.

The two drove separately, had a full breakfast halfway, and then rushed to the police station, and suddenly, the police station exploded!

"Oh, boss, you're so beautiful today, I hate the American police uniform, ugly!"

"Boss, how could this kid be with you, oh, my God, at this point in time, the boss is dressed like this again, it shouldn't be Mu Qingcheng who came out of the boss's house, right?"

"Don't you need to think about it, Mu Qingcheng must have had a very wonderful night with the head last night!"

"Jiao, a flower is stuck in cow dung, and my heart is broken!"

Listening to the foul language in his ears, Mu Qingcheng smiled mysteriously, but Kelly couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled: "Shut up, I Mu Qingcheng was with me last night to handle the case, from now on, Mu Qingcheng is the temporary auxiliary police of our police station, all work for me!"

"Look, it's called Wanting to Cover Up!"

"Yes, the boss thinks he can hide it from us, so that the two of them can go in and out openly!"

"Hey, hey, handle the case?"

The policemen muttered and scattered, and some people secretly gave Mu Qingcheng a thumbs up, Mu Qingcheng suddenly felt that the American police look fierce, but in fact they also have a human side, the key is that ordinary people can't get in touch with the life of the police.

"Follow me to the office!" Kelly's face turned blue with anger, and she turned around and left, and Mu Qingcheng followed honestly.

Kelly's office is quite modern, with an area of dozens of square meters, a large-screen computer, a projector, a large cushion sofa, a boss's desk, a filing cabinet, and a password cabinet.

Entering the house, Kelly beckoned Mu Qingcheng to move a chair to sit beside her, then turned on the computer, and after a while, entered the password, and logged in to the New York Police file inquiry system, she chose to check by year, entered 2006, and clicked on the missing case.

The missing people are divided into ethnic groups, Xie Lin is Chinese, naturally belongs to the Chinese, the missing people of Chinese descent are not too many, there are less than 100 cases in a whole year, in the column of Chinese Americans, sorted from low to high age, it is easy to find Xie Lin.

Clicking on Xie Lin's information, first of all, a positive color photo, a beautiful face, a sunny smile, a little green, and then compared with Xie Lin at the moment, both of them sighed and continued to look down.

There are only a few sentences to the effect that Xie Lin left the school at around 2 p.m. on October 26, 2006 and has not been seen since.

However, it is very rich to flip down, with the testimony of Xie Lin's classmates, roommates, department heads, and teachers, the concern and condolences of the embassy and consulate staff, the statements of Xie Lin's parents, including Thompson, who also testified, and finally the New York City Police Department's closing report, which spans about three months.

After a while, Kelly said: "It seems that Xie Lin's disappearance was quite a big problem at that time, usually blacks and Mexicans, and the disappearance report only has a few words, even if it is ...... by you Even Torres, who died from an ecstasy overdose, did not report his death in such detail, which should be a good sign for us. “

Mu Qingcheng didn't seem to hear the pause in Kelly's words, nodded and said, "I'm afraid that I don't pay attention, and if someone pays attention, I'm not afraid, what's next?"

Kelly said: "Your villa is directly at the scene of the crime, and it took a few years to check this house before it was transferred to you." ”

With that, Kelly opened the New York City real estate transaction system, which is relatively simple, just enter the neighborhood and house number.

The search revealed that Hawke's previous owner was a financial broker named James, who made a living as an illegal financial intermediary, who bought the house in 1994 and transferred it to Hawke on December 13, 2006, for $2.5 million. “

Mu Qingcheng groaned: "There is a big problem here. “

"Yes!" Kelly nodded, "Before the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007, New York home prices reached an all-time high at the end of 2006, and even after ten years, the average transaction price of New York property is still between 10% and 15% below the peak in 2006."

In other words, the market value of this villa at the end of 2006 should have been about $5 million, and the Hawkes bought it for $2.5 million, which is equivalent to a discount, so what is the reason why James is in a hurry to sell at an unreasonable price?

I think it has something to do with the investigation into Shailene's disappearance, James is likely to be one of those five, maybe James feels uneasy and is eager to cash out, if my guess is true, this person should be difficult to find, after all, the financial broker has no fixed office space, and any disturbance will cause him to be alert, so the focus of our investigation is still on Thomson.

Now come with me to Columbia University and touch Thompson's bottom. “

Mu Qingcheng asked, "Today is Sunday, the school is not in class, where can I find Thompson?"

Kelly glanced sideways: "It's just because it's a weekend, if Thompson is at school, we ask someone about him, what will he think?

For realism, we can pretend to be a couple and drive your car!"
