"Are you a family member of Wei Xinda?" Xu Youchu said.

Weixin raised her head, stunned, she didn't expect that anyone still remembered this case, and he looked very young.

"Well, I'm his daughter."

"No wonder," Xu Youchu sighed with some emotion, "You have grown so big, and you have changed a lot from the file." ”

Li Nan looked over, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth when she poured tea for them. It's not so much a "laugh" as a "so it is" realization. She lowered her eyes, and sometimes she didn't like Li Nan's scrutinizing gaze very much.

"My master has never forgotten this case, and every time a newcomer comes to the bureau, he will tell it again. We didn't give up, and last month we used new technology to test the physical evidence at that time, and we will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible. Xu Youchu hurriedly communicated with the family.

"Thank you." Wei Kexin didn't want to bring up this topic, which only revealed her sadness.

Her father's case was not solved, largely because the criminal gang was very professional and had a very strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. The two phone calls were treated with a certain amount of voice alteration, and the location of the abandoned bodies was also chosen on a non-camera beach, and the bodies were only found during a periodic high tide.

Such a meticulous and calm method is not something that a first-time perpetrator can do.

"But then again, how did you two get together?" Xu Youchu changed the topic.

Li Nan said: "When I got married, she was pulling people around the hotel to count tarot cards, and that's how we met."

This is a true statement, but it is a true statement that conceals countless information.

"You're still tarot!" Xu Youchu said, "Then let me calculate?" ”

"Yes—but for a fee, what do you want?"

"Well, is it okay to work?"

Wei Kexin nodded, took out a pack of cards from her bag, she subconsciously observed Xu Youchu, and found that he was in a more relaxed state now, but the whole person looked very tired, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. "This is the formation of the test work, you can draw six cards now, and put them in these six positions."

Xu Youchu drew six cards from the card stack and placed them in order. He could open them one by one: the King of the Righteous Sword, the Attendant of the Reverse Holy Grail, and the Righteous Scepter8......

"Your current work status is good, authoritative, and professional enough to convince everyone; Then it's your vacation...... Well, hardly. ”

Xu Youchu snickered when he heard it: "Of course, I haven't taken a break for a long time."

Then analyzing the salary and promotion, Xu Youchu was very happy to hear it, after all, no one was unhappy when he heard the result of his promotion and salary increase. The last card is "Current Challenge", which is a reversed Scepter Knight.

“…… Well, the card probably means that it's probably going in the wrong direction, maybe it's going to be a different way of thinking and looking at something you've been overlooking. ”

Xu Youchu took this card, and the knight on the screen held the sword: "In this way, I still like this card."

After the dishes were served, they chatted and ate, and Xu Youchu sighed: "You got married really early."

"What about you? Do you have a girlfriend now? ”

"How can there be, when I was studying, a group of monks, after work, they were all big men."

After eating, Xu Youchu had to go back to the unit on duty, so he didn't have the heart to say goodbye to them and walked home alone. Her so-called "home" is a rented basement, which is small in size, cold in winter and hot in summer, and the advantage is that no one disturbs her.

The humidity is blowing in your face, and this is a city by the sea after all.

Walking down the stairs was dimly lit, and I didn't have the heart to pick up the pages clipped to them from the doorknob - advertisements, part-time jobs, sales pitches...... She flipped to the end and found that it was a bill from the Third People's Hospital of Yanguang City, which was called the Third Hospital by the Yanguang people, but the local children had a more direct expression of this, and they called it the "madhouse".

The bill is a reminder. Wei Kexin looked at the amount on it a little annoyed, she casually stuffed it into her pocket, and when she walked down, she saw a huge map of Yanguang City. There are tons of news clipart and colored pins on the map.

He threw himself into a soft couch and searched the past as usual......

——In 2001, a 26-year-old man disappeared in Linnan District, Yanguang City.

——In 2003, a 54-year-old middle-aged male disappeared in the Yanguang Innovation and Creative Zone.

——In 2004, a 30-year-old man disappeared on the outskirts of Yanguang City.

……

——In 2008, Weixinda case.

These materials are all unfounded, and there are many or even simple note records. If you count them one by one, you will find that this data is almost incredible, Yan Guang has 11 men missing in eight years, ranging in age from fifteen to fifty-five.

But in reality, not many people reported the crime. First, many people just think that the man in the family has gone out to work and has not been able to contact him for a long time; Either they think that they have a conflict with their family and go out for a while; Even if the parents went to report the case, they only thought that the child had been abducted by traffickers, and they didn't know which coal mine they were sold to work as laborers.

These few parents began to search for coal mines and mines all over the country, and they tried their best to comfort themselves that such a big boy, even if he was abducted to do bad things and work as coolies, would still be alive in the end.

This series of cases is known as the "serial disappearance case", one of the three major unsolved cases in Yanguang, and no one has ever connected these cases with "Weixinda". After the "Wei Xinda" case, the local serial disappearance case suddenly stopped, and according to her investigation, many victims had suddenly withdrawn money or asked for money from their families before the "disappearance".

"Dut...... Toot ......"

"Hello? Miss Wei, huh? Your mother's fees haven't been paid in a long time? You didn't come to the last visit, do you need us to arrange another time for you? ”

"I'll transfer the money right away," Wei Kexin rubbed his eyebrows, "I've been very busy at work lately...... It may not be there. ”

In the past two years, my mother's mental condition has become worse and worse, and although I have not been able to take care of her at home for a period of time, my mother's condition is still inevitably getting worse and worse, and even there are fantasies and auditory hallucinations.

She picked up another document, on which were several secretly taken photos of Li Nan, which were Li Nan's life photos at work and home, and the files on the side were also very brief, and there were several bold horizontal lines drawn below the disappearance of his mother Zhou Liu.

"Daddy," he muttered as he collapsed on the couch, "I'm tired and unhappy, and I miss you so much." ”

No one responded.

The room was dark, and the people in the room closed their eyes. She had been investigating her father's case for nearly five years, and it all started when she was thirteen years old.

To this day, she still has a chilling shudder in her retrospect.

It was the second year her dad was gone. It was the weekend, and my mother went to the store early, and she was the only one at home. She was doing her language homework when she suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door outside, very restrained and polite.

After three knocks, stop.

Who could it be? She wondered that her mother and grandparents all had keys. An incredible thought came to her head, could it be that Dad is back?

Click.

Xiao Wei stood up with a heart, she jumped up with excitement, it must be her father! To be sure, she moved a bench to the door, "Who?" ”

Click.

Something stopped at the doorway.

After a long time, a gentle female voice sounded: "Little friend, are you home alone?" ”

"Hmm......," said Wei Ke in disappointment, "yes." ”

"Where's your family? I'm here to read the water and electricity meters. ”

"Mom went to work."

Through the cat's eye, Wei Kexin saw a long-haired woman wearing a peaked cap, and the brim of the hat covered most of her face: "Then can you help open the door?" I'll just take a copy of the water and electricity meter so I don't have to make another trip. ”

I don't remember my mother saying that you can't open the door to strangers.

The woman behind the door laughed: "It's okay, your family gave me the key." ”

Click, click, click. In the silence of the space, the key is inserted into the lock hole and twisted to the right. Standing on the bench in horror, the iron door opened in front of her.

"Ah, so you're a friend of your mother." Before she could jump off the bench in a hurry, the woman closed the door casually.

She was wearing a pair of gloves that were commonly used by workers, but she didn't look like a manual worker.

How could she have the key? Was it really given to her by her mother? Wei Kexin obediently walked into the kitchen: "Auntie, then you are busy, I will pour you a glass of water to drink." ”

She tried her best to keep her composure, and she didn't look back. Boiling water in the kitchen, the woman was alone in the living room.

"What's your name?"

"Hiss-" The back of Wei Kexin's hand accidentally touched the hot kettle, and she quickly pinched her ears, "My name is Xinxin, Kexin." ”

"Hot?"

"Hmm."

The woman was still searching for something through an open door: "Be careful, okay?" Where's your dad? ”

"My dad was on a business trip and hasn't been back for a long time."

"Do you like Daddy?"

"Like," Wei Ke struggled to take down the two cups, "Daddy said he was going to take us on a trip!" He would drive those big cars and tie me with his beard all the time. ”

"What if one day, you find out that your dad is not what you thought he was?"

"How come, Dad is what Dad looks like."

The woman walked to the kitchen and leaned against the door frame to look at the girl who seemed to be busy. Mo Kexin clumsily washed the cups on the edge of the pool, and when there was a bang, the walls of the cups collided together.

"No, it's not. Even the closest people will have an unknown side. Wang Shuo wrote, 'In the fairy tale, two greedy people dug up the treasure in the ground, and as a result, they dug up the bones of a man, and although they quickly buried them, and even planted trees and flowers on them, they both knew in their hearts what was buried underneath. When I see trees and flowers, I think of the bones in the ground. Do you think he's very well written? ”

She didn't understand, but in the distorted reflection of the faucet, she saw the woman pull out a hammer from her toolbox.

Click.
