Chapter 5: Temptation
Li Xiaowan's boyfriend's name is Bao Xiaohang, and his ID documents, wallets and other personal belongings are just at home, and looking at the traces of the house, he was not in a hurry when he left.
There were no signs of a fight in the house, and although it looked a little dirty, it was basically a sign of normal life.
In short, everything doesn't look like it's going to pack up and run away.
There was also a bucket of instant noodles on the table that had been eaten but had not yet been discarded, and it smelled of spoilage.
It was winter, which meant that he had been away from his residence for three or five days.
Is it possible for a person who didn't bring documents and didn't want to escape, but just disappeared with his girlfriend for some reason?
"Have you ever bought a train ticket online or something?" Ren Boxin's fingertips habitually knocked on the table and asked Mi Wenwen.
"After checking, there are no two people, let alone train tickets, even Internet cafes, WeChat payment, etc., there is no consumption record at all." Mi Wenwen spread her hands, obviously, in this information age, she didn't figure it out.
Shen Fangyu kept turning around, anxious.
"Continue to investigate, continue to monitor, as long as he is alive, there will definitely be movement, unless ......" Shen Fangyu did not say the following words, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
"Do you need to issue a notice of investigation?" Liu Jing asked tentatively.
"Not for the time being, it's not that far, and in the current situation, it's just the worst conjecture we've made." Shen Fangyu waved his hand and rejected Liu Jing's proposal.
Ren Boxin thought about it and reminded him.
"Tomorrow, bring a search warrant, and the people over there for the trace inspection, and go to Bao Xiaohang's house again, after all, I didn't bring anything with me today, check again to see if there are any other suspicious traces."
"Hmm." Shen Fangyu knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he could only come step by step.
"Since there is nothing I can help with at the moment, then I will go back first, and if you have something, just call me at any time." Ren Boxin picked up the car keys on the table.
"Okay." Shen Fangyu nodded.
Ren Boxin's current identity, that is, their consultant, is still specially hired.
No one can have a reason to let him stay here and join everyone in classes that may not be fruitful.
Ren Boxin left the police force in style, just like he came in the morning.
******
Back in the community, he turned the car keys in the elevator, but his mind was racing through all the information he got today. Including - his mysterious neighbor.
After going upstairs, he found that the door of his neighbor's house was actually hidden.
After hesitating in place, Ren Boxin still stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Lu Zhiyao was in the living room, sitting cross-legged on the carpet. On the coffee table and on the dining table next to it, there are many plastic bags, and some boxes.
These big and small things are very abrupt in this unusually tidy room.
"Please come in." Lu Zhiyao looked up and saw him and got up with a smile.
Ren Boxin was a little amazed, "You also believe too much in the security of our community, and besides, you are ...... these things."
"Ingredients."
Lu Zhiyao casually picked up a bag, "Ingredients for the evening." β
"After sending me, you went to the supermarket to buy our dinner?" Ren Boxin's mind was still thinking about the case, so he didn't have a brain, and asked casually.
After saying that, I felt that it was not appropriate. He hurriedly explained.
"Uh...... I mean, after you left the city office, you went to the supermarket? β
Lu Zhiyao didn't care about his slip of the tongue at all, "Hmm, yes." β
"Then why don't you close the door?" Ren Boxin asked.
"Because, I know you'll be back soon."
"How do you know?"
"Your colleague has returned in vain, and you ..... should not have the next clue to use for the time being, so you can only wait and see. They need to work overtime, but you ......" Lu Zhiyao stretched out a finger and shook it.
"You don't need to."
Ren Boxin was a little stunned, and when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Lu Zhiyao.
"You wouldn't mind working with me later, would you? In this way, it will be more convenient to eat at night. β
"Of course." Ren Boxin swallowed his own questions.
It's still a long time, and the answer will come slowly.
Strange to say, the best way to get closer to each other is probably nothing more suitable than a hot pot.
Ren Boxin looked at the state of Lu Zhiyao's house, it didn't look like she had cooked, it was outrageously clean.
Although, he himself loves cleanliness and has some cleanliness habits, but compared with Lu Zhiyao's family, his own inferiority is not at all.
The two of them stood by the vegetable washing pool, one by one, Ren Boxin carefully picked the black spots on the vegetable leaf, and in the end, he still "tsk", simply ripped off the vegetable leaf neatly, and threw it into the trash.
Lu Zhiyao noticed his movements and laughed very lightly.
Ren Boxin's movements on his hand froze for a moment, and he asked as if unintentionally, "Didn't Miss Lu talk about a boyfriend?" It's a bit of a struggle to clean up such a big place. β
"What, you're going to introduce me to one?" Lu Zhiyao didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
Ren Boxin was choked, and he hatefully ripped off another vegetable leaf, "I'm still waiting for someone to introduce me." β
Lu Zhiyao looked at Ren Boxin, the pool was already full of vegetables, and she was a little helpless to rub those that had not been washed into her pool.
"At your rate, I think I'm going to be hungry tonight." Lu Zhiyao's hand moved faster, "You should find a girlfriend even more." β
Ren Bo Xinle took over the task, quickly washed her hands, and unceremoniously picked up the drink in the plastic bag, "Do you know that there is a service in this world called housekeeping." β
"Moreover, I'm a rough man, I can deal with anything I eat."
Lu Zhiyao no longer paid attention to him. Quickly cut the vegetables and put them on a plate, which is very neat.
"Oh, I can't see it, you're still a housekeeper woman." Ren Boxin leaned against the edge of the table and looked at her like this.
"No, when I was abroad before, I didn't actually have to do it myself, but I was always unaccustomed to eating, and I didn't know how to cook, so the simplest thing was hot pot."
Lu Zhiyao carefully checked it to make sure that there were no missing dishes, and then returned to the sofa and sat down.
Ren Boxin grasped the key point in the sentence just now, "Did you go abroad at a very young age?" β
"Twelve or thirteen." Lu Zhiyao also opened a bottle of juice and poured some into the cup. "What's the matter - these cups are sterilized, if you mind, you can ...... back"
"Don't mind." Ren Boxin replied directly, "Just use yours." β
He watched Lu Zhiyao pour the juice, and then answered her another question with hindsight, "It's nothing, I'll just ask." β
Ren Boxin looked at her steadily, "I just don't understand - I went abroad to study and came back, just to be a teacher?" β
Without waiting for Lu Zhiyao to answer, he quickly added, "You must not give me the 'teacher' set." β
Lu Zhiyao raised her eyes speechlessly and glanced at him, but she didn't return her gaze.
It's also strange to say that Ren Boxin's overall appearance is a bit of the type of big brother next door, with thick eyebrows, but a pair of peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, thin crimson lips, and a bit of a mixed-race taste. His facial features are very three-dimensional.
However, although his jawline is more distinct, it is not so sharp, so that the whole person will be much softer-
This face, no matter how you look at it, is impeccable.
"What's wrong?" Ren Boxin didn't know what she was doing.
Lu Zhiyao opened her mouth, a little helpless, "Except for 'being a teacher', then I ..... have no other reason." β
Ren Boxin smiled, he obviously didn't believe this statement. However, I didn't have any position to continue to ask, so I had to give up.
At this time, a soft light music sounded, it was Lu Zhiyao's mobile phone ringing, she only glanced at it, and then pressed the mute button.
Half a minute later, the phone rang again. She seemed a little impatient, and this time, she hung up the phone.
Ren Boxin also saw that the interface of the incoming call was blank - that is, she changed this person's remarks to blank.
Ren Boxin's eyes were a little dark, this approach, nine times out of ten, means that this number often calls, although she is reluctant to answer, but she doesn't want others to see it, or write down this mobile phone number.
After hanging up, sure enough, no phone came in again, just a few minutes later, there was a "ding-" sound.
It's a text message.
Ren Boxin smiled, pretended not to hear, and continued the topic just now.
"So, not long after Miss Lu returned to China, we met as soon as she settled down."
Lu Zhiyao smiled indifferently, "That's pretty much it." β
"It just looks like I'm not your only friend back home?" Ren Boxin's words mean something.
Lu Zhiyao didn't answer, and suddenly, she turned around and changed her posture, "My studentβI mean, Li Xiaowan, what happened to her?" β
Ren Boxin stretched out a finger and shook it, "You know ......"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Zhiyao, "I know the rules of the public security, and I can't disclose case information and case details to unrelated people, but ...... If I don't know the situation, how can I better cooperate with the investigation? β
Lu Zhiyao's rhetoric made Ren Boxin unable to refuse.
"Missing." He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhiyao. Try to see through her reaction.
It's a pity that the woman in front of her didn't look abnormal when she heard what he said, "It's just missing?" β
Ren Boxin frowned, but still shook his head, "We have prepared for the worst. β
Lu Zhiyao understood what he meant and groaned.
"What did you think of again?" Ren Boxin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Perhaps...... It's just that I'm too careful. Lu Zhiyao shook her head, trying to deny her thoughts.
