Chapter 103 Footsteps
Before the meal was finished, news came from Yuan Mu's side.
"I asked someone to investigate all the missing cases of Chenghuang in the second half of 2007. One of them fits the information you provided. ”
"The missing person's name is Yang Xiu, who was 35 years old at the time of his disappearance. He works at the Chenghuang Daily and has been absent from work since 12 November 2007. The newspaper leaders were unable to contact him, and a week later they went to the local police station to report him missing. ”
This information is very similar to Yang Siqi's. So Luo Li grabbed the phone and asked, "Mu Mu, help me see what the name of the reporter is?" ”
After a sound of tapping on the keyboard, Yuan Mu replied: "The informant's name is Zhao Jun." ”
It seems that Yang Xiu is Yang Siqi, Ji Si'an and Luo Li glanced at each other.
Luo Li then asked, "Is there any clue about Yang Xiu's disappearance?" ”
"There are no useful clues. It's a cold case. Yang Xiu came to Chenghuang from Province Z to work. His parents died in a car accident when he was very young, and he was raised by his grandfather. Unfortunately, not long after he went to college, his grandfather also passed away. He was lost in Chenghuang for no reason, so he disappeared for a week and no one looked for him. If it weren't for the unit calling the police, no one would have found out at all. Yuan Mu looked at the information about this case and sighed secretly.
It usually becomes a cold case because there are few clues to investigate. A case like Yang Xiu's not only has few clues, but also no family members have reported the case, so it was quickly buried in a large number of cases......
"Did the police investigate his residence? and his relatives, his whereabouts before his disappearance......" Ji Si'an's question interrupted Yuan Mu's thoughts.
"The residence should be checked, I'll show you."
"Why are you so concerned about Yang Xiu's disappearance? Do you know him? Yuan Mu asked while inquiring.
"It's too complicated to explain for a while. In short, we think Yang Xiu may know something about the Road and Bridge Killer. Luo Li's entire attention was on finding Yang Xiu.
Yuan Mu was also very busy now, so he didn't ask them any more.
"The police at the police station found Yang Xiu's rented place. Is it in ...... No. 86, Bay Water District. It was a bungalow area, and he rented a small room in it. The police conducted an inquest of the bungalow and found nothing special. In addition, his landlord said that Yang Xiu had been seen leaving on the afternoon of November 10. He hasn't seen him since......"
Lori clenched her fists. "Is that house still there? We wanted to check it out. ”
Yuan Mu shook his head: "It was demolished 5 years ago. In addition, even if there is no demolition, the police have no right to ask the landlord to keep the house from renting. ”
"What about his stuff? Where did all his stuff go? Ji Si'an asked.
"His stuff...... Let me see...... It was someone from the newspaper who came to clean it up. Yuan Mu said.
"Is there a recipient's name?" They asked, a little excited.
Yuan Mu didn't know why they were so excited, and asked suspiciously, "Does this Yang Xiu have anything to do with the Luqiao case?" ”
This reporter, Yang Xiu, has reported several cases in the Luqiao area in a row. We feel he might have a clue to the Road and Bridge Killer. Ji Si'an explained simply.
Yuan Mugang wanted to ask again, but Li Muzi was already calling her. She wants to go with Li Muzi to investigate Yang Ping's whereabouts.
"The receiver's name is Zhao Jun. It was the informant, he was Yang Xiu's colleague. After hurriedly speaking, Yuan Mu hung up the phone and trotted to chase Li Muzi.
Zhao Jun? Is it him again? After that, he also took over Yang Xiu's reporting column. Is this a coincidence or an ulterior motive? Ji Si'an and Luo Li pondered this question.
"Let's go to Bay Water District 86 to have a look. If you can find a landlord...... Maybe you'll find out something. Ji Si'an broke the silence.
"Demolition there...... He may have moved away. ”
Despite saying this, Luo Li decided to go to the Bay Water District with Ji Si'an. Subconsciously, these two girls were reluctant to deal with that Zhao Jun anymore, but the two of them didn't realize it at this time.
The bay water area is only 2 to 3 stations away from the road and bridge, but there is a huge gap in community construction. The neat community, beautiful environment, and sound properties make this place look clean and secure.
"The bay water area used to be one of the core areas of the old town of Chenghuang. Although it is only separated by a wall from the road and bridge, it is much worse. Since ancient times, the old city has been the residence of dignitaries and wealthy people, while Luqiao is a gathering place for pawn traders, homeless people, fugitives and beggars. ”
Although Luo Li explained this, she was still amazed by the changes in the bay water.
"If the road and bridge area is demolished and rebuilt, it may become like this." Ji Si'an did not agree with Luo Li's opinion.
"Road and bridge? You haven't been there, and you won't say that. There is no way to break down with Ben. Every household built it privately, and several censuses did not make it clear about the population inside. No capital wants to intervene in such a place......"
As she spoke, Luo Li was already walking across the road against the old map.
Ji Si'an followed her footsteps and asked in the back: "The water in the bay has changed so much, how can we find a landlord?" ”
"Go to the neighborhood committee and look for it. Demolition and relocation are the main policy advocates, and they are certainly clear. Lori grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.
"That's smart." Ji Si'an gave her a thumbs up.
The Wanshui District Neighborhood Committee is located on the west side of the road 100 meters away from the bus stop, and although the blue and white sign at the door has faded, it is still very recognizable.
They walked into the open glass door, and the laughter and laughter in the room stopped instantly, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Luo Li cleared her throat and said in the gentlest voice: "We are lawyers at Yingsheng Law Firm. I'd like to ask you a little bit about it. ”
"What do you want to ask? Did you bring your ID? The middle-aged woman behind the desk asked.
"Bring, bringing. Here you go. As she spoke, Luo Li handed her work card to the other party.
"Sister, our community is really beautiful." Luo Li complimented.
"yes. The environment is good, the house is beautiful, and the people who live here are so happy. Ji Si'an often followed Luo Li and began to learn to praise.
Listening to their words, the woman smiled proudly. "That is, now everyone lives much more comfortably."
"Or you did a good job, and the neighbors will definitely thank you." Luo Li continued.
"Thanks or something, we don't care. We act with a conscience, and we are happy to be able to improve the living environment for everyone. ”
The smile on the woman's face was bright. It can be seen that this job brings them great happiness.
"Sister, do you know No. 86 in Wanshui District? Does this resident still live here? Ji Si'an asked at the right time.
"Number 86? Isn't that the place of the old Wang's house? ”
Before the woman in front of her could speak, another eldest sister next to her accosted her.
"Which old Wang's family? How come I am not impressed? ”
"That's it...... The old Wang family whose ancestors had been a big official. ”
"Oh...... Yes, yes, his family seems to live there. Look at my memory, I don't even think of him. ”
The two women, with a word from you, seem to have determined the owner of House No. 86 in the Bay Water District.
