Pubei District, Cuizhuyuan Community, East Household on the first floor of Unit 3 of Building 2, this house is on the first floor with a courtyard with a sinking, in fact, it is a basement, but it can be lived in after decoration. marriage

Now living here are a middle-aged couple with three children.

Xu Zheng came over with Zhuang Qiang and Ji Meiyue, accompanied by two comrades from the police station in the community area, this time I came mainly to try my luck and see if there is any evidence left by Du Longtao and them in the house.

Now that Xu Zheng is in this situation, they definitely don't have a search warrant, so they want Ji Meiyue to follow and prepare to move with affection.

These two comrades from the police station are the liaison people of this community, that is, the so-called grid members, in fact, they have basically never been to this community, and it can be seen from the communication between the comrades of the police station and the property just now that they are not familiar with each other.

Today, the hostess of the house happened to be at home, first the person on the property side knocked on the door and said a few words, and then naturally the community police wearing police uniforms introduced Xu Zheng and the three to the hostess.

The hostess of the house is in her forties, and her son who is in high school is at home, so of course Ji Meiyue will not say that she came to her house to probe the evidence left by the previous owner, but uses false reasons.

It is said that when the house was being built, a worker hid a suspicious metal object in the basement building. marriage

What it was, of course, I wouldn't tell the hostess, but this situation still frightened the hostess, and she was at a loss to let Xu Zheng and them into the house first, but she stopped Xu Zheng from going directly to the sinking room to search.

Because she's waiting for her husband to come back.

Xu Zheng felt that this was understandable, so wait a while, but he asked the property and the people from the police station to go back first, and it was better not to make too much of a move.

The man of the house soon came back with his two daughters, the people who can live here are considered elite in Changming, the man is more assertive than the housewife of the hostess, and after meeting and introducing each other, he first let the children go back to the house, and then asked Xu Zheng in detail what they were going to do.

Xu Zheng didn't want to waste time on this, so he gave Zhuang Qiang a look.

Zhuang Qiang understood, he took out his documents with a serious face, "Mr. Xie, just now in front of the children, we only said that it was the police, in fact, we are investigators of the Serious Crime Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, and there is currently a major criminal case that requires you to cooperate with us, the main thing is that we have to investigate your room, all the rooms."

The male owner seems to be an executive of a certain company and knows what the serious crime team does, so he finally chose to cooperate, "Comrade policeman, may I ask, is there a murderer case in our house?" marriage

Zhuang Qiang is more than 1.8 meters tall, still bald, and slightly fierce, except for the bald head, the others are more in line with the image of the criminal police in people's hearts these years.

"There have been no murderers here, no criminal offences have been committed in the house, we are just investigating whether a builder hid metal objects here when we built the house."

In the face of Zhuang Qiang's explanation, the man and the hostess struggled for a long time, but finally chose to believe the police.

Next, Xu Zheng and the others, under the leadership of the male host, first checked the two rooms on the lower floor.

There was a room for the high school student here, and Xu Zheng and the three of them invited the child out before they started working.

It's just that the three of them don't know what to do with this room, because the walls are covered with wallpaper, and there is no trace of ten years ago.

And even if you take off all the wallpaper, you probably won't be able to find it. marriage

Faced with this situation, although Xu Zheng was already prepared when he came, he still sighed deeply, "It seems that there is no news here, I think that instead of investigating the room, it is better to ask the owner of the house about the details of the transaction with Du Longtao."

Zhuang Qiang and Ji Meiyue have no opinion, this room is like this, and the other rooms are estimated to be similar, in this case, there is really no need to check.

"What we just said to the homeowner is to investigate their home comprehensively, I suggest doing a full set of plays, and go out later, or I ask, I feel that I have more trust than the two of you." Zhuang Qiang looked proud.

Ji Meiyue didn't have any opinions, but thought of a clue, "Ten years ago, I was in high school,

It seems that at that time, when the house was going to be sold, they would find an agent, and the agent would take pictures of the house when they put the house on the Internet, and then you would focus on asking them which real estate agent they went through to buy and sell the house."

Xu Zheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "It is said that love makes people stupid, Sister Meiyue, you are coming the other way around."

Ji Meiyue glanced at him, "Poor mouth, but, even if there are previous photos, it's hard to say whether you can find evidence, and it's hard to say whether the evidence will be useful."

Xu Zheng was very optimistic and said with a smile: "No matter what, this is always an investigation direction, which is better than no clues." marriage

Next, the three of them pretended to look through the house as if they were investigating, and they had to say that now the family's life atmosphere and the rearrangement of the house, even if Du Longtao came in person, he would not recognize that this was his former house.

Since they didn't find out, they could only talk to the owner, but because the owner was a house that was traded five years ago, they had only seen the former owner Du Longtao once, and they didn't provide any useful clues at all.

However, they remember very well the second-hand intermediary companies that were traded back then.

After these questions, Ji Meiyue suddenly asked the hostess, "Eldest sister, after you bought a house and before you redecorated it, did you take photos of the house or post Douyin?"

Unexpectedly, this female homeowner really gave Xu Zheng a surprise to them, she really took a video of Du Longtao's house before, because she didn't work at that time, she had been taking care of the children at home, and she liked to shoot Douyin when she had a lot of time.

Xu Zheng looked at Ji Meiyue, and sure enough, she was still a woman with a careful heart, and she didn't even play Douyin like him, so she probably couldn't even think of it.

On the way back, Zhuang Qiang drove, and Xu Zheng and Ji Meiyue sat in the back to watch the video of the female homeowner. marriage

She has 50,000 or 60,000 fans, and the main videos are all home-cooked food, so many years, she has posted a lot of videos, and after looking for a long time, she finally found it.

Among them, there is a one-shot video, a video in the form of a photo, which is basically a comparison of the house before and after the renovation.

But basically everything that can be filmed has been filmed, as for whether there are any clues, it will have to wait for the detachment to carefully screen.

After going back, Zhuang Qiang went to the technical department to screen the photos in the video, Ji Meiyue had to train Wei Yi, and only Xu Zheng was idle.

Just as he asked Li Wanwan to sort out today's attendance records, Zhang Yuqi came over, "I applied for 30 police forces from the Wan Detachment to go to the Cuizhuyuan Community to do an investigation, and you will go to the scene to be responsible if you have time."

This is to check the residents who lived in the Cuizhuyuan community ten years ago, which is a big project, but in 2024, the community has just moved in, and there are not many people, but there are not many, and there are many residents in such a large community at that time.

Zhang Yuqi means that everything that can be found must be investigated, which is a large workload, and it is also necessary to check the property security and even the sanitation and cleaning of the community. marriage

Xu Zheng was not interested in this work at all, even if he went, he would only add a police force, "Captain, you can leave this job to Peng Yue, I don't want to go out in the afternoon, I want to sort out our investigation during this time, I always feel that something is missing."

Seeing him say this, Zhang Yuqi immediately agreed to his suggestion, "Then you think about it carefully, in this way, the investigation work is trivial and troublesome, and it is appropriate for me to go."

Peng Yue, who was still on the way back, shuddered inexplicably, he didn't know that he was almost arranged by Xu Zheng.

Is the investigation easy to do?

Of course, it's not easy to do, many people don't support police work now, this is still a matter of ten years ago, even if a hundred owners have seen five women appear in this community, but after so much time, it would be good to have one person remember.

Xu Zheng saw Zhang Yuqi gone, he took his big water cup to Wan Haihong's office, it is now half past eleven in the morning, this time is the time when the leader is more leisurely, no one will come over with a document at this time, in case he disturbs the leader to eat at noon, no, in case he misses the meal, he is still hungry.

Wan Haihong saw that as soon as Xu Zheng came to his office, he unceremoniously took the tea and made a big cup of water, and he was distressed

"Your cup of 2,000 milliliters, why do you put so much tea on me?" marriage

"Look at what you said, you are an old tea drinker, so if you have more water, you should put one or two more tea leaves." Of course, Xu Zheng and Wan Haihong will not be polite, although he and Wan Haihong are not in a master-apprentice relationship, they also have a master-apprentice relationship.

Even his peers outside the city bureau thought that Xu was his apprentice.

In fact, they are similar to master and apprentice.

Wan Haihong saw his shameless strength, and shook his head with a smile, "Say, what's the matter with me?"

Xu Zheng really didn't come to drink tea, he was not interested in tasting tea at all at his age, put the big water cup away, and he briefly talked about the investigation of the second team's disappearance of Wumei.

Then he expressed his doubts, "Wan detachment, you see, generally three people commit crimes, especially this kind of case where men and women have a relationship, the suspect will be addicted, it should be said that it is difficult to break these habits, and three people commit crimes, it is impossible for three people to wash their hands at the same time, right?"

Ping Mengmeng is the last woman to go missing, the time is February 2025, then Xue Jiaping will go abroad in 2028, Du Longtao will sell the house in 2029, and then Bai Xiaoyan changed her name to Bai Shuting and married Yan Hongqiang, the eldest brother of the club. marriage

The final deadline of this disappearance case and Xue Jiaping's departure from the country have been for such a long time, how did the three of them break off the addiction of *** and murder?

Wan Haihong is well-informed, he has encountered many cases in his life, he likes to smoke when he thinks, no, he directly took out a cigarette and lit it on fire, "The general situation is indeed as you said, once criminals start to commit crimes, it is difficult to stop.

Isn't that proof of the cases you've worked on before?

But that's not the whole story."

Wan Haihong opened the computer with a cigarette in his mouth, and after some operation, he pointed to the screen and said to Xu Zheng: "You see, there is a famous case in Northwest Province, the murderer likes to coat the body with a layer of metal after killing, this modus operandi is very unique, but he stopped abruptly after committing several crimes in a row.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and the case has still not been solved, and it was not until many years later that a chance opportunity exposed the truth to the world.

It turned out that the murderer was in a car accident that year, resulting in the lower half of his body being in a wheelchair. marriage

Then he was not willing to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, what to do, and began to write a diary, and later, to write detectives.

Because it's written too realistically.

There was no suspicion about it, and then the day came when the truth came out."

Xu Zheng had heard of this metal case, which was quite tortuous and bizarre, "I heard that he made a lot of money by writing, it's really awesome."

Wan Haihong also smiled, "Therefore, Du Longtao and the three of them will not continue to commit crimes after 2025, probably because Changming investigated the case in the whole city back then, and at that time, we really almost turned Changming upside down.

It's also possible that something happened to the three of them, or that one of them had an accident and could no longer continue to commit crimes."

Xu Zheng also thought about these two reasons, but the second one he pondered for a while and asked, "Du Longtao, Xue Jiaping, and Bai Shuting don't seem to have any physical problems for so many years, at this point, I checked their physical examination reports in major hospitals in Changming, and found that Du Longtao and Bai Shuting are normal. marriage

Could it be that there is something wrong with Xue Jiaping?"

It's a pity that the Xue family is far away in Australia, even if Xu Zheng wants to know his physical condition, there is nothing he can do.

Wan Haihong didn't think so, "How old is Du Longtao this year?"

"38 up." Xu Zheng said casually, and then found that the surname Du was 38 years old, how could he not get married and have children at his age, status, and worth?

It's not normal, even their big boss married Bai Shuting and gave birth to a son.

"You mean to say that this Du Longtao has a physical problem?"

Wan Haihong took a hard puff of his cigarette, closed his eyes and thought for a while, "In your investigation, you can see that Du Longtao eats both men and women, which means that his body was normal at that time. marriage

But how can a normal person be nearly forty years old and have no children, if people are unwilling to stay in the rivers and lakes, Yan Hongqiang's status is not higher than him?

Therefore, it is more likely that his body will have problems than Xue Jiaping's body.

After all, one of them attacked, the other suffered, and if one of the attacking sides was broken, they wouldn't be able to play the game."

Xu Zheng nodded hurriedly, and said casually, "I didn't expect your old man to be so knowledgeable in this regard..."

"What is the stinky boy talking nonsense, be careful that I send you to the Pingshui Town Police Station."

Xu Zheng hurriedly admitted that he owed it, this Pingshui Town is located in the northernmost township of Liuhe District, and it can be regarded as a sparsely populated area in Changming, mainly because the local people responded to the call and moved to the urban area or several districts south of the Yangtze River, so the population is relatively small.

The corresponding Pingshui Police Station staffing is also less, and there are fewer cases, in short, the Pingshui Police Station is the bottom of the city's police stations. marriage

Xu Zhengzhen didn't dare to go to this place, so after he begged for mercy, he immediately changed the topic to the case, "Now the medical files are all networked, and I haven't found Du Longtao's medical records for childbirth, could it be that he went to a small clinic with this disease, or a province, or a magic capital?"

"Hypothetical..." Wan Haihong was also pondering, and at this time he suddenly thought of a possibility, "Suppose that Du Longtao was suddenly injured and cut off when he had a relationship with one of the women in the Wumei disappearance case, then can it explain the reason why he can't have children?"

Xu Zheng's eyes widened in shock at his thoughts, "Your idea is really unique, but it is very likely, I remember that God has a case where a woman was forced to be forced to cooperate without cooperation, and as a result, the man broke off, and then the local judge sentenced her."

Wan Haihong nodded, "In this way, it can be shown that only if Du Longtao is inhumane, Bai Shuting will marry Yan Hongqiang, and Yan Hongqiang doesn't care that his current wife has a close relationship with Du Longtao."

Xu Zheng couldn't figure it out a little, "If this happened at that time, they should have sent Du Longtao to the hospital, in this case, the people in their club should know, and the anti-hi team would also investigate."

Wan Haihong shook his head, "Generally, this kind of community, group company, has its own private operating room, with professional surgeons, which is enough to deal with ordinary surgical operations.

Of course, some doctors will also perform delicate surgeries on them for the sake of money, such as finger amputation and replantation, such as organ transplantation..."
