Chapter 9 (I)

Entering the task force again, Fang Lei still sat in the corner, still like an outsider that no one cared about.

When he came back from the hospital, the director met with him alone and told him that someone else had been arranged to handle the case of the death of a dog falling from a height, and that the previous homicide case was imminent, and asked him to return to the group and wait for the arrangement.

So he came, trying to listen very attentively, nodding his head from time to time, trying to get himself into it.

But in fact, no one has explained to him the ins and outs of the case and how it is progressing, and no one has questioned why he is sitting here.

He is like a transparent person, who seems to be present and absent, silently enduring the pain of being neglected.

“…… That's the way it is, what questions do you have? ”

Captain Jiang Jian looked around after speaking.

"So, if there's no problem, let's go get busy......"

"I have a problem!"

The members of the task force who were just about to get up and leave stopped and looked back.

I saw Fang Lei raise a hand slightly, like a primary school student, as if there was some math problem that he couldn't solve that needed to be asked to the teacher, but he was afraid that his classmates would laugh at him.

"Oh, it's Lao Fang," Jiang Jian smiled, "I forgot you were here." Say, what's the problem? ”

"What is my mission?" Fang Lei asked with a serious face.

"What's yours?"

"Tasks. My task. ”

"Oh oh...... Jiang Jian suddenly realized, and slapped his head exaggeratedly, "Look at me...... Well, are you familiar with this case? ”

Fang Lei shook his head.

"In this case, Xiao Wang, you first give the old party a copy of the file of this case, let him familiarize himself with the facts of the case first, and then see what you can do next time we have a meeting. Do you think this will work, old man? ”

Fang Lei did not speak, nor did he express any dissatisfaction.

So the meeting was adjourned. Fang Lei took a stack of case files handed over by Xiao Wang, silently returned to his desk, made a cup of Biluochun, put on reading glasses, and opened the file.

This case is much more brutal than the dog falling case in the Rose Garden community.

Half a month ago, Gu Xinyue, a dance teacher at a private school, sent an email to the school department to ask for leave, claiming that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to go back to her hometown. The school department granted her half a month of personal leave, and let her keep in touch with each other at any time. It is understood that her hometown is in Kaifeng, Henan, almost a thousand kilometers away.

Half a month passed, and the school department tried to contact Gu Xinyue to ask if she was ready to come back to class (she was a dance teacher in the fifth grade, and the students had already missed two classes), but it turned out that she was missing.

The phone could not be reached, and WeChat and emails were not answered. The head of the school department found it strange and managed to contact her parents in her hometown, and the reply she received was very unexpected.

Her mother was not sick at all, and Gu Xinyue never went back.

Not only that, Gu Xinyue has a bad relationship with her parents, and she has not been in touch for more than half a year. The school department felt that something was not right and immediately called the police.

The police immediately located Ms. Gu's local rental home, a residential neighborhood less than 500 meters from the school.

After breaking the door and entering, the police found that the house was very clean, the closet and the bed were empty, and the daily necessities such as toothbrushes and towels were cleaned out, but books, small household appliances, mobile phone chargers, and fitness equipment were left, and there were leftover meals, fruits and yogurt in the refrigerator.

There was no trace of Gu Xinyue.

Subsequently, the police found the body of a small poodle in the lock-up storage room.

It was starved to death. The dog food in the bowl was exhausted, and the doors and cabinets were broken by her paws.

According to the medical examiner, it had been dead for at least a week.

Obviously, it's all quite strange.

The police tried to go to the property to retrieve the surveillance of the building, and learned that the monitoring of the property is only kept for one week, and the system will automatically delete the surveillance of a week ago, so it has no value.

The security guard remembered Gu Xinyue, a big beauty, but he had no memory of the last time she entered and left the community.

What follows are some routine investigation results: the mobile phone is turned off, and the location cannot be located;

Although she bought a ticket with her real name, she did not get on the high-speed rail (no ticket inspection record);

None of her friends in the city had seen or contacted her for half a month;

Her WeChat circle of friends has also stopped for half a month - before that, she was a girl who was very keen on posting moments;

Hotels, Internet cafes and other places that need to register identity information do not have her registration information;

Bank cards, Alipay, and WeChat have no cash withdrawal or consumption records in the past half a month.

All the information proves one thing: she has been missing for half a month.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons why an adult disappears - because of a broken love or a bad mood, all communication devices are turned off and disappear for a while, or it will not be long before they come back.

Even if the dog starved to death in the house, it can't be completely denied, Gu Xinyue is a young man, and she may not fully understand what it means to be responsible for a life - a colleague reported that she was met outside the corridor of the hospital's family planning department earlier this year.

At that time, she was alone, she looked very weak, and she looked very embarrassed when she saw her colleagues, so she left without saying hello.

This was also confirmed by the police through a subsequent investigation, and she had had an abortion. But no one knows who the father of the child is.

There is also a possibility: she committed suicide.

Another city, located 300 kilometers from the city, is close to the East China Sea.

It's entirely possible that she would take a taxi to the area (which would explain why there is no record of spending, probably cash), and then, as in the movie, throw her luggage on the beach and walk alone into the vast and deadly rolling waves.

The local police have contacted the public security departments of coastal cities, and they have sent people to the coast to investigate, but so far no suspicious people or bodies have been found.

Of course, according to the inference of most people in the criminal police team, this dance teacher named Gu Xinyue is very likely to have been killed.

According to the current state of forensic science, unless sophisticated anti-reconnaissance methods are used to deliberately cover up the evidence, it is unlikely that a large living person will disappear into this world without his eyes.

But because no body was found, the case could only be handled as a missing case at the beginning, and after a few days without much progress, it would quickly disappear into the long river of time.
