Chen Xianglin was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement, and then the three of us crossed the road and got into Li Mingqi's car.

After entering the carriage, Li Mingqi immediately asked us how the situation was, and now there is no evidence, everything is just speculation, so we did not tell Li Mingqi about the abnormality we found, but only said that the owner of the steamed bun shop was a little suspicious, and further investigation was needed to find out what happened.

When Li Mingqi and his wife heard this, their faces showed obvious loss, but they didn't say much, and then sent us back to the hotel, and when we left, they told us to notify them if we found out again.

After returning to the hotel, I sat on the edge of the bed thinking about the bun shop, at this time Chen Xianglin walked to me with a cup of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the words of the police, there should be a missing case in the city recently, but we still don't know whether the missing case has anything to do with this bun shop, Chen Mo, can't you call Brother Su, he is a person from the Miscellaneous Affairs Section, and he is the superior department of the police department, if the Miscellaneous Affairs Section wants to obtain local case information, it should not be a difficult matter, you call and ask Brother Su, Look at how many cases of disappearance have occurred recently, what are the characteristics of the missing people, and where they disappeared, if these missing people have uniform characteristics, or they are all missing on this street, then the owner of this bun shop is very suspicious of committing the crime. ”

Chen Xianglin's proposal suddenly woke me up like a dream, he was right, we can use Su Dingqin's ability to investigate this case, two days ago Su Dingqin and Ning Nanxi and others called us after returning to Jiangning City, and then we have not been in touch, take this opportunity to ask Qin Wenhua how the situation is, thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and called Su Dingqin, the phone was quickly connected, and Su Dingqin's voice came from the other end: "Brother Chen, why did you remember to call me, Is there anything I need help with? ”

Seeing Su Dingqin get straight to the point, I didn't go around in circles with him again, and directly told him about the bun shop and the disappearance case in the city, Su Dingqin promised to help us find the miscellaneous department to investigate, and call us back later, as for Qin Wenhua, he let us not worry, at present, the heavenly cannibalization Yin Gu has been planted into his body, and the remaining Yin Qi in his body is being sucked out by the Gu worms, and the state of the whole person is much better, it is estimated that it will be able to return to normal in three or five days, and my hanging heart finally fell to the ground when I heard this, Then he hung up the phone.

"How's the situation, did Brother Su promise to help investigate?" Chen Xianglin looked at me with a cigarette in his mouth and asked.

"Brother Su agreed, he said to report the matter to the miscellaneous department immediately, it is estimated that there will be a result soon, by the way, Uncle Chen, when will we leave for the steamed bun shop, what do you say if the owner of this steamed bun shop lives in it?" I looked at Chen Xianglin and asked worriedly.

"The general business hours of the bun shop will not be very late, about eight or nine o'clock will be closed, and so on about eight o'clock we will go to the bun shop around the neighborhood, if they don't live in the bun shop then we can sneak directly into it, if you live in it tonight you will do it first, tomorrow you call Brother Su, let him arrange for the local police to ask the owner of the bun shop to go to the police station to do investigation work, inquire about the disappearance, so that we can grasp the whereabouts of the owner of the bun shop, Take a closer look at the inside of the bun shop between them and when they return. Chen Xianglin looked at me and said.

Chen Xianglin's voice just fell for a while of the mobile phone ringtone, I connected the phone after the voice of Su Dingqin, according to what he said, he had already asked the people in the miscellaneous department, there have been five cases of disappearance in the local city recently, all the missing people are men, ranging in age from twenty to forty, the last place they appeared was the street where the bun shop is located, and then Su Dingqin sent us the specific information of the five missing people in the form of text messages, We looked closely and found that there were no other characteristics other than that they were all male, but one thing that caught my attention was that they all disappeared at night, around nine o'clock.

"Chen Mo, do you think these missing people will be the last people to eat steamed buns, there were no other customers in this steamed bun shop at that time, so the owner and proprietress of this steamed bun shop knocked out this last customer and put him in the kitchen, I used to watch Hong Kong murder cases are all played out like this." Li Hai looked at me and suggested.

"There is a possibility, but no matter how we say it, these are just our inferences, if we want to know the real result, we still have to go to the bun shop." I watched Li Hai cut through the railway.

Time passed in a hurry, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the three of us walked out of the hotel and took a taxi to the street near the steamed bun shop, and then stood on the side of the road and began to squat, at this time Qingming steamed bun shop has very few guests, after all, the steamed bun is a fast food, and the average person eats for more than ten or twenty minutes, so there will be no diners staying at such a late hour.

Soon the time came to nine o'clock, when the bun shop was empty, and the man saw that most of the pedestrians on the street were gone, so he called his wife to come out and help clean up the tables and chairs, and at about nine o'clock and fifteen all the things were put into the shop, and then the two of them changed into clean clothes and walked out of it, and the soldier pulled down the roller shutter door behind him, and it seemed that they did not live here at night.

"Chen Mo, wait a while, you two sneak in while no one is around, and I won't go in." Chen Xianglin looked at me and Li Hai and said.

"You're not going in? So where do you go? I looked at Chen Xianglin and asked puzzled.

"I'm going to follow them and my wife, in case they turn back and see you breaking into the bun shop, it will be troublesome, and then I'll follow them behind, if they come back, I'll call you in advance, so you can be safer." Chen Xianglin looked at us and said.

Chen Xianglin's worries are not unreasonable, now we are just guessing, in case the owner of the steamed bun shop has nothing to do with this matter and we are discovered by them, they will definitely call the police and arrest us at that time, and then it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, I looked at Chen Xianglin and said, "Okay, then you be careful, if there is anything, call us." ”

Chen Xianglin nodded in agreement and followed, while Li Hai and I were not in a hurry to leave, after all, there are still a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and once we sneak into the bun shop, it will be easy for people to be discovered, so we must wait for the right opportunity.

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, at this time there were a lot fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and no one could see anyone passing by for three or five minutes, seeing that the time had come, Li Hai and I ran quickly across the road to the front of the bun shop, but when we arrived at the door, the two of us were difficult, neither of us was unlocking the lock, but we were a little helpless in the face of the rolling shutter door, if we used wire to pick the lock, it would definitely not work, the two of us did not have this ability, if we used a blunt object to break the door, Not to mention that the owner of the bun shop will definitely find that the roller shutter door has been damaged, and the sound of slamming the door alone will definitely disturb the neighbors, and we will definitely be arrested as thieves at that time.

"Isn't this the end of the calf, the two of us are not thieves who pick the lock on the sliding door, how to break this roller shutter door, we can't find another locksmith, let's not say if we can find it so late, even if we really find him, can we open it for us, we are not the owner of this store." Li Hai looked at me and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, there must be windows in this shop besides the front door, let's take a look around the neighborhood first." I looked at this Li Hai and said.

Li Hai looked left and right, and then gave me a blank look: "Turn a fart, these shops are all next to each other, there is only one wall in the middle, where to find the window, this is really the end, otherwise you should quickly call Uncle Chen and ask him to come back, just say that this thing can't be done, let's wait until tomorrow." ”

After listening to Li Hai, I glanced to both sides, there were indeed other shops next to the bun shop, there was no gap in the middle, only a wall, after pondering for a while, I raised my hand towards Li Hai and said: "Lao Li, you come with me, I know where there is a window!" ”

After walking for about five minutes, I came to the end of the road, then walked to the back of the store, and sure enough, I found a dark alley behind the store, this alley is very long, hundreds of meters, and it is very narrow, only about one and a half meters wide, and it is very dirty inside, which should be the location of the back window of the store.

"This is where the back window of the store is, generally few people go in, now we can only try our luck, if the back window of the bun shop is not installed with an iron fence, it is good to say, if the iron fence is installed, we will have no choice at all, let's go, go first to see the situation." With that, I turned on my phone flashlight and walked into the narrow alley.

This alley is very dirty and smelly, the merchants in front of the shop will throw stinky water and garbage here, so the smell is extremely unpleasant, when walking I and Li Hai pinched our noses, the atmosphere did not dare to gasp, after walking for about seven or eight minutes, we finally came to the back window of the bun shop, I raised my mobile phone to look at it, and suddenly my heart was overjoyed, the rear window position was not installed with an iron fence, only a window full of oil.

"Lao Li, you help me hold the phone, and I'll see if I can pry this back window open." After saying that, I handed the phone to Li Hai, and then I put my hands on the window frame and began to push the window hard, but the window was locked from the inside, so I couldn't push it open.

"Lao Li, go find me an iron guy nearby, I'll see if I can pry this window open, anyway, this broken place is outside, they can't find it, just go in and re-install the lock for them." I looked at Li Hai and said.

Li Hai immediately looked for a suitable iron guy nearby, and soon he found a steel bar with a short arm length, I took it and put it under the window, and then pulled it hard, only to hear a click The window was directly opened by me, and then I opened the window, and at the moment of opening the window, a foul smell came from the house, the smell couldn't help but make people's stomachs churn, almost made me vomit the rice noodles I ate at night.

"I'll go, what kind of smell is this, why is it so stinky, this is even more sour than the smell of the sewer, Chen Mo, are you sure of it, is this the back window of the bun shop, won't we go to the wrong place?" Li Hai looked at me and asked.
