Chapter 22 Baby - Missing

case two baby

five missing

In Shao Jie's impression of a slight delay after three years, the south section of Lixing West Street was originally a famous food street.

In the early years, with the light of Lixing Street Shed Construction Wholesale Market, the food street on South Road has been bustling for more than ten years.However, with the advancement of the planning and renovation of the old city, the adjacent Lixing Primary School was relocated, and the key junior high school two streets away was divided into the school district of Xicheng. Most of the street-facing shops have also been moved to the magnificent Lixing Street Wholesale Mall, which has been demolished and rebuilt. The only time-honored store that has not moved for more than ten years is the Yangxiezi hot pot restaurant at the entrance of South Road.

With pockets in both hands, half of Shao Jie's face was huddled in the stand-up collar of a trendy brand of cotton clothes that did not protect against cold or warmth. He raised his head slightly and looked up at Han Lu, who was standing at the door of the store with his neck stretched and steadfastly staring at the direction of the alleyway. He came to him, raised his foot and put his feet on the buttocks: "What are you looking at?"

"Eh?...Yo! Why are you strolling here from the side of the road? You said you were coming by bus. I thought you could take a shortcut in the alley." Turning around, seeing someone coming, he patted his butt happily, and then wiped the barely visible dust on Shao Jie's body.

Shao Jie shrank his shoulders and hid for a while, but he didn't dodge. Han Lu hooked his shoulders and took him to a table where the lamb and scorpion pot had been set up. , quickly took off the white cotton jacket and put it on the chair beside him: "There is a building in the alley that was stopped by the police, and there were too many people watching, so I took a few steps around."

Han Lu tilted his body and fiddled with the old-fashioned induction cooker embedded in the table for a long time, "There was not such a big fight when I drove here, and the police are here to stop me now?"

Shao Jie shook his head, his face clearly confused.He also turned slightly sideways, watching Han Lu gritted his teeth with the stove switch, and raised his hand to call the boss who was pressing the calculator behind the cash register to come and save the induction cooker.

The proprietress, who hadn't seen anyone, just happened to push the door open at this moment, stomping her feet on the mat at the door to let off the cool air, then signaled to the boss behind the counter who raised her head, rubbed her hands, and walked over to her. The loose plug next to the table leg was pressed hard: "You said you came to eat if you have nothing to do. There are so many empty tables, but this table's induction cooker doesn't work-you have to choose here to sit."

The proprietress straightened her waist while speaking, patted Han Lu's shoulder very familiarly, then turned her head, looked carefully at Shao Jie as if paying attention, and suddenly clapped her hands: "... I remembered, you are... Xiao Shao Isn't it? Hey, hey... It's been a few years since I saw you. You two brothers have always come to our house for dinner since they were in junior high school. It's been a few years since we saw each other—"

The proprietress is extremely hearty and enthusiastic, and a few specious words of nostalgia seem to have aroused some thoughts that made Shao Jie feel emotional.He was a little distracted, his eyes followed the proprietress for a while, and he vaguely heard her complaining to the boss.

Probably just went out to inquire about the police trouble ahead.

"...It seems that there is a pregnant woman missing in that building. Sister Zhang has met her before. She is about to give birth, and I don't know where she went..." The proprietress clicked her tongue, "Don't let anything happen to you. There was a girl who died in the alley next to the red building before. After several months of investigation, even our business couldn’t be opened—it must have been three years. It was too scary at that time, and now There are so many cameras installed around here, I guess someone should be able to find..."

Han Lu was also inexplicably aroused by the hostess' greetings, which aroused a bit of nostalgic interest.He babbled to Shao Jie for a long time, but seeing that the old man in front of him didn't show any gratitude at all, he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to poke his nostrils: "If you just want someone to eat with you, you have to travel so far Well? I, an excellent man with a family, hang out with you all day long, and Yang Tangtang even wonders if I have something tricky with you."

"It was Yang Tangtang's instruction to find you for dinner." Shao Jie's thoughts came back, and he couldn't say a word, "If you hadn't had too much emotional experience, would Yang Tangtang ask me to help her check the post when she went out for a competition?"

Speaking of this incident, Han Lu immediately felt guilty: "It's my fault that the vacancy period is short, but I must be absolutely loyal when I am in love. I have never done the thing of two boats."

"Come on, you." Shao Jie gave him a disgusted look, not intending to continue arguing about his personal issues, "I'll be thankful that you two don't drag me around..."

Just at this time, the proprietress who just went to the back kitchen came over with a plate of stewed vegetables, "It's delivered, I'm too thin, eat more."

The proprietress was about the same age as the parents of the two and a half boys, and she couldn't help but look at the children who had reunited after a long absence, and put on the airs of an elder: "I remember you were not so tall three years ago, but you have grown up in the past two years." Are you... studying abroad?"

Shao Jie was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly received a few words of concern from an elder, shyly scratched his head with the end of his chopsticks, and weighed his words: "Stopped from school, started working early, and just came back from out of town."

The proprietress let out a low cry in surprise, she didn't seem to care much about whether he had studied for further studies, she winked at him jokingly: "You are young and promising at work, do you have a partner, auntie will introduce you to a girlfriend ? Get married early!"

Shao Jie was a little caught off guard by the sudden topic of marriage and love, but Han Lu on the other side said happily: "Miss Boss, you are partial, I have not heard you tell me to introduce a girlfriend to me so many times. .”

"You still need me to introduce?" The proprietress was amused by him, "The last time I brought that candy or something, did I meet my ex-girlfriend? She also dropped our glasses."

The proprietress flipped through the small account, and Han Lu immediately complained—this bastard has been trained by his predecessors to be considerate and humorous over the years, but he can always quarrel with the opposite sex, no matter how old or young he is.

Shao Jie didn't comment on the charisma of this scumbag, and holding up his hand that had gnawed on the bones, he directed Han Lu to fetch a few tissues from the next table--a moment after these words fell, he heard a ringing sound outside the door. A siren.The proprietress glanced in the direction of the sound, and saw two figures passing by the door quickly. She was a little discouraged and muttered worriedly: "Don't make trouble like three years ago again. dead people."

Han Lu was a little apprehensive about this topic, and lowered his eyelids to pretend he didn't hear clearly.However, Shao Jie rubbed the ball of paper in his hand, was silent for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Three years ago, someone died here... I haven't seen any news since I went to other places. Has the murderer been caught?"

The words were about to fall to the ground, and Han Lu, who had stuffed a big mouthful of mixed vegetables, choked there immediately, beat his chest a few times, holding the drink cup that had bottomed out, and looked at Shao Jie unexpectedly.

Why are you still thinking about it for so many years...

"I said I caught it... Hey, that year was really bad, and many people died throughout the year." The proprietress has nothing to hide, and the neighbors also mention this from time to time, "I heard, I heard that the murderer was A patrolman in our area - I've seen it usually, the young man is not tall, he speaks with a smile, he is a good person, who would have thought that he would kill someone... I guess he didn't dare to report it, and then the director of the police station didn't go down. I didn’t publish anything, and I didn’t seem to be posting anything on the Internet at that time, so I posted a notice on the bulletin board at the entrance of the police station, and it was wiped off with paint the next day.”

"However, with those nonsense things, we ordinary people are just living a life, as long as we can start a business and start a business...there is a rumor that a pregnant woman who is about to give birth has disappeared, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are just talking about adults and children. Can come back safely."

The proprietress waved her hand with a sigh. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a customer at the door looking into the store through the steam. She lifted her spirits and stood up. After a short notice, she turned her head to greet the customer.

The second half of the meal was a pleasant one.Shao Jie's inexplicable stubbornness disappeared just right before the other guests entered the restaurant for dinner, and even shared with Han Lu the many conveniences and advantages of the DRG base dormitory comparable to a hotel-style apartment.

It was just that when the checkout was approaching, I almost planned to run the bill.

Han Lv was almost hanging on Shao Jie, he firmly pressed the person in front of the counter to check out and pay, shook his head and waved goodbye to the proprietress, and suddenly became interested, and urged Shao Jie to spare some time on the weekend.

"The test of courage organized by some activists in our student union, I just learned the scene in the Korean drama, saying that there are ghosts at night..." Han Lu shook Shao Jie's thin shoulders a few times, "Our school belle also went , give you an introduction?"

"If you want to change careers and become a matchmaker, don't start with me." Shao Jie pulled off the arm hanging from his shoulder with a calm expression on his face, "I'm going back to the middle lane this time, so I have to play in ranking."

Han Lu didn't feel disappointed. Taking advantage of Shao Jie's display limbs not responding, he raised his hand and knocked on the back of Shao Jie's head before running away. He then yelled for Shao Jie to wait at the intersection. The car is coming.

Shao Jie faced him head-on and lost nine out of ten battles. He gritted his back teeth and decided not to be as knowledgeable as him. With his hands in his pockets, he strolled to the intersection like a leisurely stroll, turned around and silently stared at the direction of the cordon Look.

Shao Jie raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes, unconsciously stared at the surveillance video on the telephone pole, and stood motionless for a long time.

Until a gust of cold wind slammed right in front of him, Han Lu parked his car not far behind him, rolled down the window and yelled at him, "Hurry up, buddy, the traffic police posted a note!"

Han Lu waved his arms tightly, and before Shao Jie sat firmly on his seat belt, he started to drive forward slowly, hunched his neck slightly and looked out of the car window, murmuring: "Good guy, this big jeep should really Posting, occupying an area... I also posted it when I went to the police car? Why do you feel that since you came back, the frequency of running into the police to handle cases has soared—"

Han Lu broke his tongue for a long while and didn't hear Shao Jie's answer, so he turned his head and glanced at him curiously.Shao Jie guessed that he didn't hear him at all. He was holding his mobile phone at the moment, his upper body was twisted outward, and he looked at the big jeep with a pool of stains and fallen leaves on the hood with great concern, and then he was a little embarrassed Frowning deeply, he lowered his head and opened the chat page.

Han Lu shook his head inexplicably at first, and then suddenly felt blessed, squinting his eyes and peeking - he didn't see the conversation clearly, but only saw the correct three characters on the top of the note: "Jiang police officer".

The Korean matchmaker gave Shao Jie a surprised look.

Shao Jie reluctantly remained motionless like a mountain: "...What wicked eyes do you have?"

"No...it's nothing...if you have something to do, I'll put it on the side of the road for you." Han Lu pursed his lips, his brows were trembling with a suppressed smile, he was stared at by Shao Jie for a moment, and he clenched his lips honestly Steering wheel: "Brother, sit still, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

On Jiang Mo's side, Xiao Letian, who had been suffocated in Lixing West Street, had just returned to the police force, and Gu Xing, who had been to the detention center, also rushed back in a hurry.

Captain Gu stood at the door of the office, stroking his hair that was out of shape after running around, first swayed sideways in front of his two apprentices, then turned his head with sharp eyes, stretched out his hand and walked down from the chief's office upstairs. Zhang Yibai, the deputy captain of the anti-drug detachment, quietly took the man to the stairwell on the west side.

Xiao Letian was still immersed in the anger of a policeman from the Lixing Street Police Station who spoke rudely to his senior sister. He stared at the door in a daze for a moment, then dragged the chair under his buttocks and slid to the side of his senior sister, bent his arms and poked him, choking. Jiang Mo, who made bread, nuzzled his mouth and gestured, "What's the situation?"

Jiang Mo wolfed down a few mouthfuls of bread, choked himself enough, and hiccupped after drinking water for a long time. He gave Xiao Letian a meaningful look: "It turns out that Li Qiming from the fourth group, his family members have recently received threats one after another. , what do you think of the situation?"

Li Qiming from the former Fengxi District Bureau was arrested for about a week or so for corruption cases involving corruption. Li Qiming's daughter who was studying abroad had received several death threats and had been seeking police protection since then; Li Qiming's parents were also there. Received a threat package similar to surveillance in the past three days.However, the old man and the old lady were still not sure about the arrest of their son involved in gangsters, so they called the police for help in a righteous way, but unexpectedly, on the night of the police report, a gas leak occurred at home. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and sent to the hospital for proper assistance. As soon as the incident happened, it is estimated that someone brought this one after another situation into the detention center. Li Qiming seemed to want to show his ambition by death, and attempted suicide in the cell, which provoked Gu Xing to run over to take a look at the situation without any delay.

Xiao Letian crossed his arms and thought for a while: "Involved || drugs?"

Jiang Mo shook his head cautiously: "It's not likely to deal with it, but I guess I turned a blind eye to cover for someone."

Since Xiao Letian joined the team, he hasn't dealt with his anti-drug colleagues much, and he was so shocked that he opened his mouth so hard that he could swallow his fist.Gu Xing walked around behind Xiao Letian silently, raised his hand and tapped him on the back of the head: "The mouth is so wide open? I wonder if the missing pregnant woman who sucked|drugs has been found?"

"The person hasn't been found yet, but according to the parking records provided by the hospital, we followed the surveillance to find a place to live." Xiao Letian was in pain from being hit by Gu Xing, rubbed the back of his head, and grinded his molars, saying: "Senior sister and I also I went to the leader of the Lixing Street Police Station and planned to go through her movement. But they always competed with my senior sister. After a long time, we came back and waited - after such a long delay, we posted a violation in vain. Stop it."

Gu Xing frowned when he heard the boundary, and looked at Jiang Mo with downcast eyes, feeling a little headache: "Lixing Street? You two still went to the old red building? What about the pregnant woman?"

According to the autopsy results and circumstances given by the forensic doctor in the previous two days, the criminal investigation has been paying attention to the case of the missing pregnant woman in the past two days.However, due to the fact that the specific situation of abandoned babies and suspected life-threatening mothers cannot be made public, the reports of missing pregnant women in the urban area and its suburban Lin County need to be checked and confirmed one by one.

"I contacted a private hospital to report the case today. The pregnant woman has lost contact so far. The theoretical situation is basically consistent with the situation of the pregnant woman who had a full-term cesarean section that may have a problem. But this pregnant woman who lost contact... is actually helping others. |surrogate||pregnant."

Jiang Mo sighed slightly, and was silent for two seconds before continuing in a slow voice: "She was found to have fetal growth retardation when she was more than seven months old. It is estimated that someone from the hospital greeted her. After a more careful examination, she was found Because she received injections before and after conception, there are obvious risks of fetal malformation and placental abruption. After learning about the condition of the fetus, the pregnant woman made an appointment for induction of labor, but she never came when the appointment time came. The hospital did not want to cause trouble, so she always Did not call the police, just kept trying to contact. However, the information left by the pregnant woman was all false, and the residence was tracked based on the vehicle license plate, and no immediate family members called the police, so until today, the police station did not file a missing person case."

Gu Xing heard one head and two big at the moment, speechless and dumbfounded: "...This may not necessarily have anything to do with the abandoned baby case - to be on the safe side, let's talk about the disappearance case, the old red mansion and I Get in touch, don't be angry." Gu Xing picked up the crumpled oranges on Jiang Mo's table, picked half of them for Jiang Mo, and gave another quarter to Xiao Letian, a cheap apprentice, "Over there in the scenic area. How's the surveillance going?"

Jiang Mo's brows, which had been stretched for a moment, were wrinkled again, and he was furious when he mentioned this matter.

"I searched around Xipo, because of the hole at the bottom of the mountain. Later, someone from their village committee reported that the elder brother in the village wanted to steal iron, but saw that someone was arrested, and then so many policemen came, fearing that something serious would happen. , I have never dared to admit it... I am dragging my brothers from the Yunshan Police Station to monitor other entrances and exits and the surrounding area, and I will report any suspicious things at any time."

This feeling of exhaustion with nowhere to go is far more excruciating than turning on the lamps and cooking oil in a targeted manner.Gu Xing snorted Jiang Mo's hair, and saw Xiao Letian shaking his head in confusion, chuckled lightly, and then slapped him hard on the head: "If you have something to say, you have to fart, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Letian hugged his head in pain, and then quickly adapted to his unfavored position as a master, hesitatingly said: "Master, for pregnant women, do you want to look up clues related to|involvement||drugs|, in case Regarding... Could it be that the pregnant woman knew some clues and was secretly dealt with..."

"It's not your turn to worry about this turbulent work." Gu Xing raised his eyebrows without saying yes, turned around and saw Geng Zhi knocked on the door frame and was waiting at the door with the meeting minutes in his arms. He turned his head to speed up The son spoke quickly: "Take Xiao Luo to the home of the missing pregnant woman later, and take a sample to confirm whether this pregnant woman who may be involved in drugs has anything to do with those abandoned babies——waiting for the results , and your senior sister will screen and monitor suspicious persons while continuing to track down the movement of the missing pregnant woman."

As soon as Gu Xing's words fell, a gust of wind swept towards the door. He picked up Geng Zhi's shoulder and was about to walk up the stairs when he suddenly remembered something, turned around, squeezed the orange peel in his hand, and threw it into the paper at Jiang Mo's feet. "It's the teacher's fault if the teaching is not strict" on his face.

"Your car is as dirty as a map, so you can't wash it? Where do you put the image of the police force?"
