Following Xu Mingzhi in were two men and a woman.

One of the men walked in front with Xu Mingyi, looking about forty years old, with a little dark skin and a cigarette in his mouth. When I entered the door, I casually pressed the cigarette into the trash can at the door.

The man and woman who followed behind were much younger, especially the woman, who was estimated to be in her early twenties, cut her neat short hair, wore a pair of army green short sleeves, and a pair of cargo pants of the same color underneath.

"Come, introduce me." Xu Mingzhi walked to Yu Guang's side, glanced at him, and then turned his head to introduce to the other three: "Yu Guang, my friend, I asked him to come over to assist in the investigation." For some reason, Xu Mingzhi lied about Yu Guang's identity. Since this is the case, Yu Guang will naturally not dismantle the stage.

He smiled and shook hands with each of them.

The leader's surname is Liu, and Xu Mingzhi said that he just called Team Liu.

Another young man is called Qu Jiang. The young woman's name was He Li.

She smiled at him as he shook her hand. Under the light of the hotel water bar, the slightly narrow Danfeng eyes, the eyes were shining, like stars blooming with exciting light, and I couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Probably because his gaze was too focused, He Li felt a little uncomfortable, and after coughing lightly, he withdrew his hand.

Yu Guang felt out of shape and was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the other two were chatting with Lao Wang and did not notice this detail.

After the greetings, Xu Mingzhi led everyone upstairs again.

Xu Mingzhi had already let people open a room here. After the five of them entered the house, the relaxed look they had when they came all the way just now disappeared.

Team Liu, who came from Pinghai City, opened his mouth first: "Xiao Li, take out the photo and show it to Team Xu first." ”

When He Li heard this, he immediately took out a few photos from the backpack he was carrying and handed them to Xu Mingzhi. The latter took a look, but then handed it to Yu Guang and said, "Let's see if it's Zhou Mu." ”

After Yu Guang glanced at Xu Ming unexpectedly, he raised his hand to take it. The photo shows a boy who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a shaved head, a wound on his face, and his eyes are full of anger when he looks at the camera.

This should have been a photo from six or seven years ago, and it has changed a lot compared to now, but you can still see that it is the same person.

He handed the photo back to Xu Mingzhi and said, "It should be him." ”

Xu Mingzhi also nodded: "Then it should be right." With that, he returned the photo to He Li, and then said to Team Liu: "Let's talk about it." ”

Team Liu nodded, and then gestured towards He Li.

He Li understood, took out another stack of materials, and put them all on the table in front of Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang.

"Eight years ago, we cracked a huge D-product case, and we found out that the criminal team was not only selling D-products, but also dealing with a human trafficking ring. They will take the victims from the traffickers, and then some of them will become their own people, and some of them will be used for D-product experiments, smuggling D-products, and so on. This Zhou Mu was abducted and transferred to them. When we found out, the kid was locked up in a basement with a dozen other people, covered in pinholes from drug tests. Of these people, less than half of them successfully quit drug addiction and survived. However, even if they survive, these people are basically unable to live a normal life anymore, one is paralyzed, one is unconscious, and the others have varying degrees of organ damage, and basically have to rely on drugs for the rest of their lives. Zhou Mu is the luckiest one, the content of D product in his body is the least, plus he is young and in good health, so he basically has no sequelae. After a year in a drug rehabilitation center, we found his family based on his own information and sent him back. Oh, by the way, he is a native of Zhihong City, Southern Province, and was abducted in 99. ”

'99......

Yu Guang calculated in his heart, according to Zhou Mu's age, in 99 years, he should have been 8 years old. The abduction of an 8-year-old boy was actually relatively rare in those days. At that time, traffickers abducted and trafficked male children, and basically did not choose such an old age. First, children at this age are not easy to control, and secondly, children at this age can already remember a lot of things, which is not conducive to integrating with the new family.

Therefore, Yu Guang felt that Zhou Mu's age might be fake.

However, Zhou Mu was abducted and trafficked, and it is normal for him to have a false age.

It's just that ten years ago, Zhou Mu appeared in the human trafficking case that Xu Mingzhi and they cracked, why did he appear in Pinghai City eight years ago and was used to test drugs?

Yu Guang looked at Xu Mingzhi puzzled.

At that time, in Futian Village, although Xu Mingzhi mentioned the case ten years ago to him, he did not elaborate. After seeing Yu Guang's puzzled gaze at this moment, Xu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, but still explained: "In the case ten years ago, only some people were arrested, and many people took advantage of the chaos to escape. The name Zhou Mu was asked from the mouths of other rescued victims. At that time, he should have been taken away by someone else. ”

After speaking, he looked at Team Liu again and said, "You deliberately brought this Zhou Mu out, don't you just want to say this?" ”

Team Liu replied: "I haven't finished talking yet, don't worry." ”

After the words fell, He Li took out three pieces of case information from the pile of materials, pushed them in front of Xu Mingzhi, and motioned him to take a look at them first.

Xu Mingzhi picked it up and took a look, they were all missing cases, but the locations where they happened were in different provinces and cities, and the distances were far away.

"These cases are all disappearances eight or nine years ago, if you take a closer look, is the experience of these girls before their disappearance very similar to the experience of this little girl this time?"

Xu Mingzhi was reminded by Team Liu, picked up these case materials and took a closer look, indeed, the little girls in these disappearance cases were all going out with friends before they disappeared, and they kept in touch with their families by text messages at first, but they began to lose contact after more than ten hours. And more than ten hours is enough for those traffickers to take people out of the province. By this time, even if the parents reacted and reported the crime, it was already too late.

This process is very similar to the process of Liu Liu's disappearance.

At this time, Team Liu said: "One of the missing little girls in these three cases died in the den that we destroyed eight years ago. The other two have never been found, and I don't think the chances of surviving are high. ”

Xu Mingzhi frowned, stared at the three documents in front of him, pursed his lips and did not speak.

He Li added on the side: "Before coming here, we contacted the people who were responsible for investigating these three cases, and one of them found such a photo for us, you see, the person in it is Zhou Mu." As she spoke, she took out another photo from the pile of materials and put it in front of Yu Guang and Xu Mingzhi.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at it and handed it to Yu Guang.

Yu Guang took it, glanced at it, and frowned. This photo is very blurry, it is indeed a case from eight or nine years ago, and the camera technology at that time was not as high-definition as it is now. Moreover, the time in this photo is night again, and although there are street lights, it still makes the already not very clear even more blurry.

Because of his work, Yu Guang has worked recognizing people. But a photo from eight or nine years ago is not clear enough, and it is still very difficult for him to judge whether it is Zhou Mu or not. He asked He Li for the photo of Zhou Mu eight years ago, and after comparing it for a while, he nodded and said, "It should be Zhou Mu." ”

With his nod, Team Liu said: "If this is Zhou Mu, then some of my guesses may be about to come true." As he spoke, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

It turned out that when they cracked the D case, he had doubts about Zhou Mu. At that time, they rescued a total of fourteen people in that basement, and except for Zhou Mu, the other thirteen people were all women. After these people were sent to the hospital, the hospital found that the concentration of D products in the blood of the thirteen girls was very high, but Zhou Mu, although it was not low, it was definitely a safe concentration.

For this reason, Team Liu also investigated Zhou Mu, but they didn't find anything related to Zhou Mu in that den, and no one mentioned Zhou Mu among the people they arrested. In addition, Zhou Mu was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and when he was rescued, he was also injured, so Team Liu finally chose to let go of his doubts.

Unexpectedly, three years ago, one of the girls they rescued got married and invited Team Liu to attend the wedding. After the wedding, Team Liu chatted with the bride and mentioned the events of the year. Team Liu suddenly thought of Zhou Mu, so he asked casually. The bride said that every time they tested drugs, they had never seen Zhou Mu. Moreover, that Zhou Mu was locked up in that basement before they were rescued. However, before being locked in, Zhou Mu was beaten outside the door, although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they all heard Zhou Mu's screams.

A beating that you didn't see with your own eyes doesn't prove anything. The bride's words made the suspicion that was put down five years ago pop up in Team Liu's heart again.

After Team Liu went back, they turned over the file again, but they didn't find any clues. He also asked those colleagues who were in charge of keeping an eye outside the den, and they all said that they had no impression of Zhou Mu. However, so many years have passed, and even if these people saw it back then, they may not be able to remember it. However, Team Liu was not at ease, he also contacted the public security of the surrounding cities, and learned that the name Zhou Mu had not appeared in the case in recent years, so he finally put Zhou Mu aside.

Until yesterday.

Xu Mingzhi asked his friends on Xiyong's side to help find out that the fake-licensed van finally entered the mountainous area, considering that the traffickers were likely to enter Pinghai City by way from the mountainous area, so he contacted Team Liu and wanted them to help carry out a control investigation on the Pinghai side.

At that time, as soon as the case information was sent, after Team Liu saw the name Zhou Mu, he smoked three cigarettes in a row without saying a word. After that, he quickly asked his subordinates to check all the information on the missing person cases they had found. In the end, these three documents were found.

All three cases occurred before they cracked the case of the D product, and since then, there have been no similar cases of disappearances in Ha Tsai Province. This timeline also coincides with the time when Zhou Mu was sent away.

Now, after Yu Guang's confirmation, Team Liu can basically conclude that nine out of ten of these three cases are related to Zhou Mu.

After saying this, Team Liu lowered his head and lit another cigarette, and after taking a puff, he muttered in a low voice: "Where was the victim I released back then, it was a demon!" ”
