Chapter Twenty-Nine: Three Strange Tales

Zheng Guowei hammered his waist and looked along the table in the conference room, where there was a lot of soot scattered on the edges. He pressed his throat and coughed a few times, and when he saw Xu Youchu at the table, he raised his head keenly and glanced at himself quickly.

As a little apprentice, he is still not a long working age, but his qualifications are very good. It's not like most people who just come to the office, who either always complain behind their backs or only clock in to work.

They all know that Xu Youchu is very enthusiastic about the old unsolved cases, and he almost takes everything as his home. But Zheng Guowei always felt that he was too concerned - the old case was a water ghost in the dark river, which could drag people to death unconsciously. Besides, he is still such a young man, and he has no other hobbies except smoking. What's so good about that?

"Master, you've been coughing for a few days, go to the hospital after work." Xu Youchu finished recording the information, and his eyebrows were a little tired.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a cold. What about you? Why are you so tired? Zheng Guowei has no children, treats him as half a son, and can't help but discipline him, "Smoke less." ”

"It's nothing, yesterday Xiao Tian sent me some information on the Internet to read. There are still too many doubts about the kidnapping case back then. ”

Zheng Guowei held the teacup and suddenly asked, "That little girl from the Wei family, have you contacted you recently?" ”

"She had a broken bone, and I was able to settle down for a few days, and I went to the hospital to see her a few times."

"Look at herβ€”it's not easy. After her father's accident, their family collapsed. You've also seen the dossier, and then a stranger went into her house with a key. According to her mother, they only have three keys in the house, two of which are on their own and the other is ...... The one that Weixinda lost. At that time, the transcript said that the person who came was a woman, and it was suspected that she was one of the kidnapping gangs. ”

"I just wonder, if it's really someone from the kidnapping gang, why would they go to the victim's house?"

Zheng Guowei said: "At that time, some people also speculated that Wei Xinda's key may not have been taken away by the kidnapping gang, but was accidentally lost and picked up before. When the person who picked it up saw the news, he may have a bad idea...... After all, the Wei family's small business was doing well at that time. ”

"Although she was still a little girl at that time, she was able to respond calmly to a stranger who suddenly opened the house with a key, and provided a lot of information to the police."

Zheng Guowei put down the teaglass: "You read the text on the record, I don't know the situation at that time." When we met her, she was terrified, she had a fever that night, and after that she had nightmares all night, and her mother was sick at the time, and we helped take her to the hospital a few times. ”

Xu Youchu sat aside, lit a cigarette and listened quietly.

"Back then, I conducted a large-scale investigation of all the women in Weihu District who met the conditions for description, and I also used photos to find her to recognize people, but she was too young to dare to look at the woman......"

"When did you find out?"

"Around 1999." Zheng Guowei struggled to awaken his memory, "The scope is still a little small, but there were not enough people at that time." ”

"I seem to have an impression of that, too. At that time, I was still in school, and I vaguely remember that people on the street knocked on the door from door to door," Xu Youchu thought for a moment, "Did you find any clues?" ”

"I found a few people who met the criteria, but I asked them one by one, and they all ruled out suspicion. At that time, there were no cameras installed, and many things could not be verified. Among them, there is a woman, we stared at it for a long time, and in the end, because there is no evidence, she is pregnant again......" Zheng Guowei's eyes were heavy, "but I have a hunch, she must not be simple......"

"Who is it?"

"It's called Zhou Liu."

Xu Youchu wrote down her name in her heart, "Is she still in the city now?" ”

"I heard her husband say a long time ago that she ran away with her lover and didn't want a good job."

Zheng Guowei remembered that he had seen the middle-aged man, wearing a worker's outfit and honest, and ran to the office drunk and shouted: "I killed someone!" I killed someone! Give me a death sentence! ”

For some reason, the man with red eyes always lingered in Zheng Guowei's heart.

"We were afraid that something would really happen, so we asked him for a long time, first, we didn't find any body and the report of the recently lost population that could correspond to it, and second, he didn't know anything about the details of the killing, and finally he woke up and said that his wife ran away with someone and didn't want to live."

As the end of work approached, people made appointments to go to dinner one after another, and one person sat motionless.

"Why is Qiu Tian still so unsociable?" Zheng Guowei asked in a low voice, at that time, Qiu Tian was admitted to the unit with the name of the first in the written test.

"It's okay, that's his character."

Xu Youchu asked in the past, Qiu Tian nibbled on a few bites of pizza left over at noon, and was still watching the surveillance.

The construction site near No. 3 Middle School was originally intended to build an office high-rise building, and the construction site was full of large equipment and masonry materials, and only workers would enter and exit on weekdays, which was very negligent in management. Qiu Tian simulated a roadmap of the students' actions that night on the computer, "Liu Wenxuan ran around in the dark that night, and there were several lines that were very likely to run into a dead end. If she hadn't run that far, she probably wouldn't have ......."

"Perhaps, she didn't want to run that far."

Qiu Tian would only say some thoughts in front of him, and rubbed his fingers on the mouse: "If there is no one to lead or chase, how can she run so far from the vicinity of the gate?" ”

"The footprints on the scene have been compared many times."

Qiu Tian nodded: "The footprints at the construction site that night, everything that could be extracted was extracted, and many of them were workers at the construction site. There are also some strange traces, I suspect it is, maybe a slope. ”

On the other side of the hospital, Wei Kexin is going through the discharge procedures. It stands to reason that she didn't have to be hospitalized for a broken bone, but because her family was not around, and she was worried about being attacked by Liu Wenxuan's family again, she lived in the hospital.

Being discharged from the hospital now is also Li Nan's idea. Later, she looked at the photos for a long time, and one of them was: a computer screen with only a corner of the screen exposed, and a small sign on the bottom navigation bar.

"Domainless space!" I didn't recognize it as my own forum at a glance.

"What is it?"

"It's the local forum I built in Yanguang, which is mainly to summarize our local news and information."

"It seems that this man ...... Really knew us. ”

The two of them were even more vigilant, they originally talked about things in the park or Li Nan's old home, but now they feel that these locations are not safe. But Li Nan had an idea: "I know a place, it is absolutely safe." ”

Three.

Vendors at the school gate are hawking, but business is very bleak. "Hey, it's stricter now, it turns out that students can still sneak out to buy snacks, you look at the current wall, how high it is." The lady who sold sugar gourds sighed, "Are you the parents of students?" ”

Li Nan nodded, and took a string to the stunned Wei Kexin next to him: "My brother is studying here." Now the school has to be stricter, and these young and rebellious children are going to make a mess. ”

As soon as she said this, the eldest lady slapped her thigh: "It's not!" Let's just say that the little girl was made by her classmate......"

"I don't know yet." Li Nan asked casually, "Are the backstreets still open?" ”

"Some are open, and several are transferring."

Li Nan thanked the eldest lady and walked to the back street with a heart. The back street is only next to the third middle school, and it is a hundred steps away. It's a small alley lined with stationery stores, bookstores and restaurants, and the path is quite deep.

"When I was a kid, I used to come here to buy things, and I was the best among my classmates."

"You know, I remember seeing it in the park, you have that kind of stationery box that can sing and bounce when you press it. ”

"When my mother didn't leave, she often bought me these things," Li Nan said with some nostalgia, "She always told me that the value of people is different, and good things can increase the value of people." ”

Walking all the way down the back street, it is sparsely populated. The alley is relatively straight, and any suspicious person can see it at a glance. And Li Nan stopped in front of a wall.

"You? This is? "Crazy?

Li Nan removed the planks against the wall, revealing a hole that could be drilled by an eight- or nine-year-old child. Wei Kexin patted his chest.

"This is my secret base when I was a child......" Li Nan took the lead and got in, she frowned, she had always been elegant, and walked a little longer, and in front of her was a rusty iron door.

"It's an abandoned bomb shelter, and people in the neighborhood say it's haunted, so very few people come in." There was a heavy pile of dust on the door.

"But, it's so scary here!" I looked in through the keyhole, it was pitch black, and even the sound of the wind didn't exist, "Why don't we find a ......corner of a fast food restaurant?"

Li Nan pulled the door open with difficulty: "I used to come here every day, and no one here is more familiar than me." Don't you dare to come in? ”

"How so?"

Wei Kexin looked at Li Nan's bottomless eyes, trembled, and walked in.

It was dark in the bomb shelter, and I couldn't look back, and the last rays of light disappeared as the iron door closed. In the next second, Li Nan turned on the flashlight, and in that beam of light was a voice as calm as water: "You can't take pictures in this place, and you can't secretly photograph us from a long distance." ”

"I really admire you, you dare to come to this kind of place alone at such a young age...... Wei Kexin leaned close to her, imagining Li Nan, who was wearing a small white gauze skirt, approaching it alone.

"No," Li Nan walked deeper, the blue-gray walls on both sides were chilling, "I was still young at the time, and I wanted to know what it was like to be 'scared'. ”

"'Afraid' is 'afraid'!" Wei Kexin was already trembling. The bomb shelter was clammy and cold, with occasional rustling sounds, like some small sawtooth creatures.

She finally couldn't act, and said with a sad face and despair: "Sister Nannan, do you feel that someone has been following us since the beginning?" ”

"The three middle school air-raid shelters are frequently haunted, remember to take you to find out! 》

Recently, this newspaper received a reaction from the public, saying that it heard an unknown sound in the air-raid shelter of No. 3 Middle School. After the visit, I found that this air-raid shelter has long been abandoned, but the "air through the hall" has formed in the cave, so there are some noises from time to time, which is a normal phenomenon.
