Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Campfire Monster
Early in the morning, when Qin Man woke up, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys exploded one by one, and the room was filled with the hormonal smell that had been fermented all night.
She had no idea how she had fallen asleep, except vaguely that it had rained heavily in the middle of the night, as heavy as the rain in the house.
Now that the rain had stopped, the birds outside the window were chirping and chirping, and the sunlight was streaming in through the curtains.
The surroundings were still empty, Jiang Lian seemed to have endless energy, and this kind of thing was a point of absence for him.
Qin Man knew that he had the habit of exercising in the morning, so he turned over and lay on the bed for a while.
"Ah......h
A heart-rending cry came into her ears, and the sound of footsteps in the corridor made her lose her temper completely.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and when she finished washing up and went out, she was keenly aware that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Everyone gathered in the hall, the jaw of the head, the chest of the chest, and no one interjected and amused.
Yang Yuhe was interrogating the boss and his wife, Jiang Lian had not had time to change into a sweaty sportswear, and sat on the side with a pot of water to listen, with a serious and cold expression.
The little boy was held in his mother's arms and wiped his mother's tears with a tissue.
She walked over and heard a few conversations.
"Lei Lei has been very obedient since he was a child, and he rarely worries about our husband and wife, and he doesn't need to pay too close attention to his studies, he is a very conscious child. Sometimes when my dad and I couldn't get busy, he would help. ”
"When he got into his third year, we didn't let him do anything, and we focused on studying. Their teachers are also very conscientious and responsible, whether it is holidays or weekends, they give the child free make-up lessons, so we let him go.
"The teacher said that there is no problem with his second grade, and he can try to fight for one, but it looks like the college entrance examination is about to begin, how can there be a ...... of the file?"
Jiang Lian saw Qin Man coming, and greeted a few people present, "Missing." ”
took her back to the room to change clothes.
Qin Man: "What's going on?" ”
Jiang Lian: "Xiao Yunlei, that is, their eldest son, disappeared, didn't go home last night, his mobile phone was turned off, and he is still out of contact." ”
Qin Man: "Did you report the case?" ”
Jiang Lian nodded.
"I reported it, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't close their eyes all night, and I was going to wait for dawn to go to the teacher's house to have a look, but I asked them to report the case first. However, the disappearance of the person is more special, and generally only 48 hours after the disappearance will be considered to file a case, and at this point in time, the police will only understand the situation and will not intervene in the investigation. ”
He closed the door and said as he changed his clothes.
According to the description of the proprietress , Xiao Yunlei left the resort at about 3 pm yesterday and went to the teacher's house with his classmates to take a cram class. At 8 o'clock in the evening, he took the initiative to make a phone call to inform him to eat at the teacher's house and go home later, but Xiao Yunlei did not show up the night after that. ”
"At 12:40 last night, it started to rain on the mountain, and Xiao's mother couldn't help but call Xiao Yunlei, and at that time she had already turned off the phone and lost contact. She went to ask the teacher again, and the teacher said that the class ended at 9:30 p.m. and all the students went home. ”
Qin Man: "A senior high school student, who is in adolescence and has a lot of study pressure, will he have conflicts with his parents, or anger with his classmates and teachers, etc., and make something out of the ordinary to attract attention, and he doesn't necessarily have to think badly." ”
Jiang Lian changed his clothes.
"The speculations of those of us who are others are unfounded, and no one knows the child better than the mother. Xiao's mother said that Xiao Yunlei is a very sensible child, and he has a good relationship with his parents, and he will not always have conflicts like those children in the rebellious period. He didn't quarrel with his parents before he went out, and his teachers and classmates also denied it, in short, he wouldn't not go home for no reason, even if something really happened, he would definitely call home as soon as possible. ”
"If you think about it, he will also call home to report such a trivial matter as eating at the teacher's house, there is no reason for him to suddenly change his face and be so rebellious that he will not go home all night."
Jiang Lian's face was not very stretched from the beginning, although he didn't say it, he had already made up his mind that Xiao Yunlei was most likely in trouble.
It would be nice if it was his random guess, but as the captain of the criminal investigation team, his intuition is generally accurate.
He grabbed some of the necessary items for mountain climbing, then pinned the pistol and handcuffs around his waist and covered them with a loose casual sports jacket.
"Through the Xiao family and his wife, we have initially learned about some places that Xiao Yunlei often goes, and our arrangement today is to walk around and see if we can find someone."
Qin Man didn't expose him, walking was an excuse, and finding talents was his purpose.
As soon as the door was opened, the little boy who was only in the second grade, that is, Xiao Yunlei's younger brother, squatted at the door of their room with a picture book, did not bother rashly, and waited patiently for them to come out.
Qin Man stepped forward and touched the child's head, "Little friend, what's your name?" ”
"Xiao Yunyang."
The innocent voice of the little boy did not seem to understand what was happening.
"Mom said, my brother is gone, can you help us find my brother?"
Qin Man smiled.
"Yes, we'll find your brother. Xiao Yunyang can't run around, you know, your parents will be worried. ”
Xiao Yunyang: "I know, I won't run around." I'm here to tell you that last night, they came. ”
Qin Man was puzzled, "They? ”
Xiao Yunyang opened the sketchbook in his hand and pointed to the stick figure.
"That's them."
It's still the same group of pretending ghosts dancing around the campfire.
"They lit the fire again, the same fire as in this book, I saw it."
Qin Man took the villain book, stood up and looked at Jiang Lian, she didn't take it seriously yesterday, and now it seems that what this kid said is true.
Could it be related to Xiao Yunlei's disappearance?
Jiang Lian stepped forward and took a cursory look at the picture book.
It mainly tells the story of a mysterious organization disguised as a ghost and killed people.
The bonfire ceremony was a form of proselytizing. On the one hand, it attracts more theists, and on the other hand, it is the so-called cleansing of filthy souls, controlling the congregation, and consolidating the position.
After reading it, he returned the picture book to the little boy, "Can you tell my brother where you saw them?" ”
The little boy turned his head to look out of the window, and tried to point him in the direction by the window frame, but he was not tall enough, and he tried to climb up on tiptoe.
Jiang Lian picked him up, and the boy pointed to the ravine in the southwest direction in his arms.
"There, there's little spots of fire there, I've seen it several times."
Because of the distance, separated by two small hills and covered with vegetation, it is impossible to see anything from here, except for a small fire in the dark night.
Qin Man and Jiang Lian looked at each other tacitly, and there was no place for today's outdoor activities.
