Chapter 12: The Suspect Goes Missing

Who would have thought that the person who went to arrest Ding Lang, after going out to look for half a night, brought back a regrettable news.

The arrester who came back to report the news reported: "Ding Lang is missing. ”

"Missing?" Everyone was surprised.

Xia Yue hurriedly said: "When did you disappear?" ”

According to Yuan Weimao, Ding Lang lives in the alley behind Xinchang Street, living alone, and his parents, wife and children are in his hometown.

But Ding Lang has had nothing to do since he arrived in the capital, and he has been wandering in casinos and green buildings all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. Because he gave birth to a good skin, he also coaxed women from good families, completely leaving his parents, wives and children behind.

Later, the money he brought was almost spent, and he wrote to his family several times to ask for it, but the family was just an ordinary family, where could he afford such expenses, and it was estimated that the money he brought was limited, and he couldn't afford his consumption.

"When we went to his house, there was no one at home, and it was turned into a mess. I asked the neighbor at the door and said that I hadn't seen him for several days. We went to the casino, the green building, and the restaurant where he frequented, and said that we hadn't seen anyone in the past few days. ”

If you don't disappear sooner or later, if you don't disappear at this juncture, it's not that people don't think too much.

"The casino also said that Ding Lang owed them a hundred taels of silver, and they were also looking for it, but they never found anyone, and they planned to report to the official if they couldn't find it again." ”

Wang Tong couldn't help but say: "This is a fear of crime and absconding, I have to suspect that what Yuan Weimao said is true, eighty percent of this Ding Lang was chased by debt collection, and came to He Ningqiu to borrow money, He Ningqiu took money from home to him, but it was only fifty taels, he was not satisfied, so he killed He Ningqiu in the dispute, and then ran away." ”

The motive for the killing is clear.

Xia Yue pondered for a moment, and then asked Ye Caitang, "What do you think?" ”

Now that the sky is already dark, Ye Caitang slept last night, but he didn't sleep for long, he was still a little in good spirits at this time, and after being named, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Ye Caitang has been practicing medicine for many years, and it is common to work overtime, and he guarantees no rest on Saturdays and no rest on Sundays. If you encounter a big case, it is normal to stay overnight for several nights.

But in this era, because there is no entertainment at night, and there is not even much money to light the lamp and pay for wax, I have to go to bed early.

Once she goes to bed early, she naturally gets up early, cultivates her self-cultivation, calculates, she has lived a life of sunrise and sunset for five years, and she occasionally slept late yesterday, which is a little uncomfortable.

Ye Caitang pointed at himself: "Did the adults ask me?" ”

"Yes."

"I don't think so." Ye Caitang thought about it.

"Tell me what you think."

Ye Caitang said: "Although Ding Lang has a motive, whether it is where Ding Lang lives or where He Ningqiu lives, it is too far away from the place where the crime occurred. Whether they were private or borrowing, I really can't think of any reason why they would go there. ”

Xia Yue nodded approvingly: "You're right, the Meng family's old house is not at the door of He Ningqiu's house, and it was raining again that day, no matter whether it was borrowing money or having a private meeting, there was no reason to choose there." There must be a reason why she would be there that we don't know. ”

However, the residents around the old mansion have already asked for a round, and no one knows He Ningqiu, and they have never seen her appear in that vicinity.

The murderer was not found and another one disappeared, and what happened in the same time period, there are still inextricable links between the missing and the deceased, and no one really believes it if it has nothing to do with it.

Xia Yue thought for a while: "You guys go on." Wang Tong and I went to Ding Lang's house. ”

Wang Tong responded, but he didn't expect Ye Caitang to also say: "I'll go too." ”

"You're going too?" Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang's wilting appearance, not like such a positive person.

"Go." Ye Caitang stood up.

Although he is doing a job, the work is limited, Ye Caitang doesn't want to stay in the six doors all day and do nothing, work more and perform more, strive to earn wages as soon as possible to pay off debts, and restore his freedom.

Out of the six doors, Xia Yue turned out to be very down-to-earth, and asked Wang Tong to buy a few bags of buns for everyone to eat.

Xia Yue said: "You can't work hungry and then faint at the scene of the crime. ”

The words are not coarse, and the buns are more delicious.

Wang Tong was already used to it, and turned his head to ask Ye Caitang: "What kind of stuffing does Xiao Ye want?" There are pork and mutton, and there are tofu vermicelli. ”

"Meat!" Ye Caitang said without hesitation: "I want meat buns." ”

It's really pitiful, Ye Caitang has only discovered that the lives of ordinary people are really hard since he arrived at this age, even if it is peaceful and prosperous, ordinary people can't eat meat twice a month.

She is alone, her father has no savings, she always has to leave a little money to live with, and she has no skills to show her hands, so she can only resell some gadgets and work part-time, although her life is idle but also poor.

Steaming hot, fragrant mutton buns, take a bite and get oily.

Ye Caitang sighed with satisfaction and sadness.

Who would have thought that she would sigh for a bite of meat.

Xia Yue watched Ye Caitang eat a bite of the bun miserably, and then sighed: "Don't go to the room to eat in the future." ”

"Huh?" Ye Caitang's cheeks bulged out a large lump, and he stopped chewing, looking at Xia Yue with some incomprehension.

Last night she went to eat in the room of the six doors, which was their kitchen, although there was no big fish and meat, but it tasted good, much better than what she made herself.

"I'm afraid you'll finish all the dishes in the room by yourself." Xia Yue looked at the bun in Ye Caitang's hand, and inexplicably felt that her one seemed to be more delicious: "You will eat with me in the future." ”

Ye Caitang blinked: "Respectful?" ”

Wang Tong turned his head and laughed.

Xia Yue learned from Ye Caitang to speak: "Respectful." ”

Ye Caitang's face flushed, and he quickly swallowed the mouthful in his mouth, and then said: "That's not good, I'm quite able to eat, don't make the adults hungry." ”

Xia Yue doesn't go to the room to eat, there is a separate small kitchen in the six doors, and every day he cooks exquisite side dishes for several adults with official positions, and he can also order dishes.

"You're overestimating yourself." Xia Yue took out a handkerchief and gave it to her in disgust: "If you have more than two mouthfuls, you won't eat the six doors of poverty." ”

What a warm guarantee, Ye Caitang suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Ding Lang's house was really turned into a mess, and he was afraid that someone would destroy the scene, so he left someone at the door to watch, and when he saw Xia Yue coming over, he hurriedly let him in.

At the beginning, he thought that the whole family was going to move here, so Ding Lang rented a single-family courtyard, with three rooms in it, two of which were still empty, and Ding Lang lived in the middle one.

"Lord Xia, look." Quickly pushed open the door: "When the subordinates came in, the room was like this, the cabinet was open, the clothes and quilts were on the ground, and the tables and chairs were turned over, as if someone had rummaged through it or something. ”
