Chen Guosheng replied: "These cases occurred in the middle of the night, and although the locations were widely distributed, most of the disappearances occurred in the surrounding area, and almost all of the missing persons were women who traveled alone......

After listening to Chen Guosheng, I asked again: "Do you suspect that these cases and the disappearance of Lin Yude's wife were committed by the same murderer?" ”

"Very likely," Chen Guosheng nodded, and continued: "In addition to the similarity with the victim in time and place, these cases also have one thing in common, that is, although some of the missing people disappeared outdoors and some disappeared indoors, in addition to their own disappearance at the time of the accident, none of the valuables, gold and silver that they carried with them were lost, so it is certain that the murderer did not seek money......

Chen Guosheng said this, only to listen to Bai Wei, who was carefully looking through the information, answered: "I took a general look, among these cases, the earliest one happened about two years ago, if the murderer is the same person, that is to say, this murderer has been committing crimes since two years ago, and it has been a continuous crime for two years, but I don't understand, before we go out today, I also specially asked the proprietress of the hotel, Yanfang, how is the security in Yangzhou in recent years, but when she answered, the security in Yangzhou has always been very good." , she probably had never heard of so many unsolved cases of missing persons in the city......"

"Well, that's inevitable......"

Chen Guosheng sighed and replied: "It's not that the authorities conceal it and don't report it, it's just that because the murderers in these cases have not left any clues, they can't be traced at all, and the unsolved cases are accumulating more and more. What's more, there are some things you also understand, many foreign media and newspapers have always liked to stare at us, and any negative news in China will be deliberately exaggerated and exacerbated by foreign media......

After hearing Chen Guosheng say this, Bai Wei snorted coldly and asked again: "It seems that the reason why these missing cases are concealed should be the idea of your 749 Bureau, right?" ”

"This ...... That's right......"

Chen Guosheng nodded, and then said: "749 belongs to one of the national security and defense agencies, and you must consider the overall situation first, so after getting these documents in the city bureau today and hearing about the intervention and suppression of the 749 headquarters, I am actually not surprised, if it were me who made the decision, I would have chosen it this way......

Bai Wei nodded after hearing this, and replied: "For comprehensive considerations, what you did is indeed right, but for those conservative and cruel people, this is a little too unfair!" Look outside, so many people in the whole city are still being worried, still going out early and returning late, still working and living, because of your 749 Bureau of suppression and non-reporting, everyone does not have any sense of crisis, if it weren't for this, maybe the murderer wouldn't have succeeded so easily, and he killed so many people in two years......"

The more Bai Wei spoke, the more angry she became, and when she said this, she stared angrily and directly threw the pile of materials in her hand to the ground.

Chen Guosheng hesitated, pursed his lips and said: "This approach is indeed unfair, but after all, it is for the sake of the overall situation...... Don't blame us, little master......"

"Hmph, I'm not just ...... you."

Bai Wei pursed her lips, frowned and said coldly: "I really can't figure it out, where is this?" This is Yangzhou! Next to it is Nanjing, which is the headquarters of Tianzhu Mansion, the highest authority in the exorcism world, why does this happen under the nose of Tianzhu Mansion? Could it be that there are so many masters in Tianzhu Mansion, and no one notices it? ”

I hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Bai Wei, you dissipate your anger, it's useless to say anything now, it's more important than anything else to catch the murderer as soon as possible." ”

Bai Wei nodded, took a long breath to ease her mood, and said: "Fortunately, we now have a good grasp of the time and approximate location of the murderer's actions, and it is much easier to do things, but, judging from these case materials, there seems to be no exact law for the murderer to commit crimes, which is not easy to do, we can't go outside every night to patrol around and try our luck, right?" ”

As soon as Bai Wei's words came out, everyone also started to worry, and the atmosphere in the room was instantly depressed, everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, although everyone enthusiastically offered suggestions and suggestions, after some discussion, in the end it still did not work.

In the blink of an eye, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone gathered in the room to discuss, and they didn't care about eating, but they almost didn't get anything......

Seeing that this deadlock is not easy to break at the moment, Bai Wei sighed, stood up and said: "Forget it, it's not a way to hold back like this, let's go out to eat first, and then have a meeting when we come back after eating, I don't believe there is no way to clean up the murderer......"

As she spoke, Bai Wei turned around and walked to the door of the room, and everyone followed, but before we could go out, we heard a 'click', and the doorknob was twisted from the outside first, and then the door opened, and the hostess of the hotel, Yanfang, walked in from the outside in a panic.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her in the room, Yanfang hurriedly asked, "Everyone, have you seen Lin Yude?" ”

"Lin Yude?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then heard Bai Wei reply: "Didn't he stay in his room all day?" In the morning, I also specially instructed him not to go out for the next two days, after all, the murderer is not an ordinary person, even if he can really find it, there is no way, so as not to get in the way......"

Yanfang nodded, and said: "Yes, I was also present when you persuaded him to stay in the house honestly for a few days, and I always thought that he was in the house, and today I brought up the old things again after all, and his pain was hooked out, seeing that he didn't go out of the house all day, I didn't dare to disturb him, but just thinking that he hadn't eaten all day, I went to send him some food, who knew that when I went in, he wasn't in the room at all, and the window of the room was open, he, he jumped out of the window and ran away......"

"Huh? Ran away? Where can he run? I hurriedly asked.

"He shouldn't have gone far, he must have gone to the meat market again," Yanfang replied: "The restaurant where he invited guests to dinner a year ago was next to the meat market, and after his wife disappeared, he walked back and forth on the road from the meat market to my hotel almost every day, looking for clues......

Hearing this, Chen Guosheng hurriedly persuaded Yanfang and said: "Don't worry, he has a preliminary matter, the murderer's target should be limited to women, and he will never attack men, not to mention that he has survived for more than a year, he can't do anything stupid now, right?" ”

With Chen Guosheng's comfort, Yanfang felt a lot more relieved, nodded and said: "That's right, it won't happen, I, I'm just worried about him, for more than a year, every time he goes out, I'm scared, for fear that he will be in danger...... Hey, I'm too careful, bothering everyone......"

Yanfang turned around and was about to go out after speaking, but at this moment, she heard Bai Wei muttering with her head down-

"Meat Market...... Meat Market ......"

As she spoke, Bai Wei turned her head to look at me and asked, "Little Liuzi, we went out for a whole day today, have you ever been to the meat market?" ”

I nodded and replied, "We slipped over there in the afternoon, it was a big market, but there were too many people in it at that time, and it stinks, so we didn't go in......"

After listening to my words, Bai Wei suddenly turned around and rushed to the bedside, picked up the case materials that were thrown all over the ground, and began to look back and forth with a serious face.

After looking at it for a while, Bai Wei suddenly looked up at me again and said nervously: "Little Liuzi, quickly find me a map of Yangzhou!" ”

"Oh, I'll go get it."

On the way to Nanjing, we had prepared maps of various places along the way in advance, and when I remembered that the maps were in my room's luggage, I quickly ran back to my room to find the map of Yangzhou.

After handing over the map to Bai Wei, I saw that Bai Wei took a pen again, and while looking at the case materials that Chen Guosheng brought back from the city bureau, he began to mark the location of the crime scene on the map......
