The Serious Crime Team took 18 files and immediately drove to Jianglin City.

This is a special operation of the Ministry of Public Security, and we must work with a spirit of 12 points.

In the police reception hall on the first floor of the Jianglin City Public Security Bureau, I met a very familiar person, Lei Ji.

"Team Qin!"

"Thor!"

Lei Jizheng was standing in the police hall to greet the arrival of the serious crime team, and when he saw me, he quickly stepped forward and shook my hand, and then gave me a very warm hug.

"We meet again." Lei Ji looked at me very excitedly and said in a deep voice.

"yes, we're meeting again." I smiled and was excited.

Both of us are criminal policemen, and after what happened last time, there is a feeling of heroic sympathy.

If we can work together for a long time, we will definitely become friends in life and death.

"Mu Shen!"

A man's voice came from beside me, and I followed the voice to see that it was a young police officer.

The last time we came to help my eldest mother inquire about the disappearance of our daughter Zhang Yufei, it was he who provided us with the information.

Seeing him wave at me very excitedly, I waved at him too.

Following Lei Ji into the criminal police team, he said helplessly: "The bureau is tight now, and we can't provide a separate office for the serious crime team, you can only work in the criminal police team." ”

"It doesn't matter, we are working together this time, and it is not a competition, it is very normal to work together, so it is more convenient to discuss the case." I nodded and said lightly.

Hearing me mention the competition, Lei Ji's face was a little unbearable, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

He didn't lose face not because he lost, but because the competition was too childish and full of his prejudice against the Serious Crime Team.

Naturally, I knew what he was thinking now, so I cleared my throat, changed the conversation, and said, "Time is pressing, let's discuss the case first." ”

Lei Ji immediately nodded and ordered: "Clean up here, let the criminal police who participated in the investigation of these eighteen missing persons come over, and the case analysis meeting will be held in five minutes." ”

Five minutes later, in the office of the criminal police team, all the police officers who had participated in the investigation of the case had arrived.

"Now that we're all together, let's have a meeting." Lei Ji broke the silence first and spoke.

I briefed the criminal police present on the members of the Serious Crime Team, and then explained that the Serious Crime Team had come to the Ministry of Public Security to carry out a special investigation and crack the case of missing persons in Jianglin City over the past two years.

Next, the criminal police of Jianglin City spoke one by one, they were all witnesses of 18 missing persons, and expressed the missing persons cases they had participated in the detection.

Their statements are not much different from the information in the dossier, and the results of their investigation are very clear, and the identification information and social relations of the 18 missing persons have been investigated in detail. Investigations were also carried out on persons with motives for committing the crimes, but none of them had the time to commit the crimes and had sufficient alibis.

This was the case in 18 cases, and the investigation of the facts reached an impasse at this point.

"This case is really a headache for us, to be honest, eighteen cases are not a small number, and we have conducted detailed investigations in each case, but there really is nothing in common."

After listening to the criminal policeman's speech, Lei Ji rubbed his hair vigorously and said very impatiently.

"The more this kind of case, the more urgent it is, the murderer must have his own ideas when he chooses the target of the crime, and the murderer's thoughts are the common denominator of the case." Li Meng said in a deep voice.

Lei Ji thought for a while, nodded, and asked seriously: "So this is a serial case of missing persons?" In the absence of any evidence, are you sure that you want to join the investigation? ”

Combining cases for investigation is definitely not just talking, but the conditions for merging cases need to be met.

If two unrelated cases are forcibly investigated together, it is very likely that the direction of solving the case will lead to a dead end.

This is the fundamental reason why these 18 cases have been put on hold.

For the police, it is very difficult to solve this kind of disappearance case in which no one is alive or dead.

Moreover, it is very likely that this large-scale disappearance case was controlled by a certain illegal and criminal organization.

In 2012, more than 80 teenagers disappeared in Jin County, the oldest of whom was 22 years old and the youngest was 12 years old. Strangely, the place where the children disappeared was not remote, and the time of disappearance was almost in the morning when people came and went. The case was at an impasse, and it was not until one of the missing teenagers suddenly appeared that the police learned that they had all been abducted from a black brick kiln, and the teenager who suddenly appeared had escaped from the black brick kiln after 18 days of abduction.

In 2018, the Haishi Public Security and Industry and Commerce Departments launched a crackdown on illegal and criminal pyramid schemes, closed the net on a major pyramid scheme case, successfully smashed two pyramid schemes, arrested 199 people suspected of organizing and leading pyramid schemes, and rescued 162 people who were controlled by pyramid schemes. These 162 people were all filed by the local police as cases of missing persons, and 20 of them disappeared at the same time in the same city, and the police once investigated and solved the case as a serial murder case.

No matter what kind of story is behind the eighteen disappearances in Jianglin City, we have only one goal - to see people alive and corpses to die.

The case analysis meeting lasted for a total of 4 hours, and after analyzing each case on a case-by-case basis, our serious crime team finally learned the full story of the 18 missing cases.

After discussion, we decided to reopen the 18 cases for investigation, and not to make a decision to merge the cases until the common ground of the cases is found and the conditions for merging the cases are met.

Eighteen cases are definitely not a small number, because eighteen victims are very likely to have been killed, so this is eighteen homicides.

The serious crime team decided to investigate the case of Zhang Yufei's disappearance, in addition to the fact that this case occurred relatively recently and it was relatively easy to investigate and collect evidence. What's more, because of Zhang Yufei's mother's lost face, it has always been deeply imprinted in Li Meng's minds and me.

This time, we must give an explanation to the eldest mother.

After determining the direction of the investigation of the case and the division of labor, everyone also began to perform their duties and investigate and collect evidence.

Lei Ji arranged for the members of the Crime Squad to be accommodated in the police quarters.

By the time the meeting was over, it was already dark.

Unlike Ningzhou City, Jianglin City also snowed, but it did not form snow on the ground, but immediately melted into snow.

It wasn't too late, and Li Meng and I decided to pay a visit to our old friend, Ling Gufeng.
