third missing person

The sharp sound of the siren scared Chen Xing into a shudder, and he kicked the clothes piled beside the bed to the ground in fright.He opened his eyes quickly, moved towards the source of the sound, took out his phone and turned off the alarm clock.

"S--this damn weather is too cold." He yawned, huddled under the quilt with a look of despair.

Who in this world likes to go to work?It's all about being forced to do nothing.

After dragging on for 10 minutes, I still struggled to get up from the bed, and went into the bathroom with the head of the chicken coop on my head.

Chen Xing is 29 years old this year. He is 1.8 meters tall. He is slender and capable. He was sleepy all the year round, and the corners of his mouth had an impatient arc.

It probably has something to do with his occupation. He is a policeman, and he has been in contact with local hooligans all year round, and he has gradually developed this kind of virtue.

After coming out of the bathroom, I wiped the stubble on my chin, looked up at the wall clock in the living room, and decided to give up shaving after thinking about it for two seconds. It’s just going to work, it’s not necessary, it’s really unnecessary, it’s better to save 2 minutes Go in line for breakfast.

Chen Xing can be considered to be born in an intellectual family, and his parents are well-known figures in the art circle. When he was given this name, he hoped that he could "examine myself three times a day" and continue to grow through self-reflection, but it's a pity. The phonetic character, pronounced "xing", has been made into "sheng" which saves trouble.

Dumping down from the third floor, he got into his black Jetta, which would shake the whole car as soon as the door was closed. It didn’t know when it would go on strike. Counting traffic jams and traffic lights, it took only 10-[-] minutes to reach the city bureau. .

Carrying the steaming breakfast, he stopped by to say good morning to the doorman, hummed a little tune and entered the office building, then turned into the office at the end of the corridor.

As soon as he entered the office, he felt a chill.

At 08:30 in the morning, the other groups were having an urgent morning meeting to assign tasks for the day, but their 12 groups were as cold as the morgue next to the forensic laboratory on the top floor. There was no human voice at all, only the crackling of computer keyboards could be heard sound.

I don't know, I thought they were dealing with some underworld case.

"Where is the person? Group 12 disbanded?"

The sound of the keyboard stopped abruptly, and a cold voice rang out: "You are here!"

Chen Xing was startled: "Fuck! Someone, where did this person go?"

"Ji Xiaojie asked for leave, and Chen Tingting and Yu Fan were seconded by Group 11."

"Tsk... have the 11th group received the case?" Chen Sheng always felt that there was no difference between the 11th group and the 12th group, but there is still a difference now.

"Well, the case of stealing electric cars is said to have been watched for a long time, and it is going to be closed today."

"Okay... What are you doing, old Xiao? Crackling in the morning?"

"I was helping you make up for yesterday's inspection, but I was arrested when I went to arrest people, and I was stalked and caused trouble. After the trouble, I stayed at home to catch up on sleep all day, and let me help you write the inspection. You are really there, Chen! Team leader! !"

The person named Lao Xiao stood up from behind the computer, went to the printer, took out a few documents and handed them to Chen Sheng.

Although both are people's police, there are still essential differences.

Chen Xing's curly hair is naturally curled up all the year round, his eyebrows are thick and black, and his eye sockets are deep-set. He seems to have a "magnificence" that can scare people. However, his daily life is decadent and down-and-out.

The one he called Lao Xiao was Xiao Zeyang, his junior in the police academy, three years younger than him, the two of them didn't know each other, and after graduation they were assigned to work together.

Xiao Zeyang is fair-looking, with big eyes and single eyelids, and two dimples when he smiles. He is serious and responsible for work, meticulous in life, and soft-spoken to suspects like morning breeze. Anyone whose gender is "female" When I came to Xiao Zeyang, I always answered my questions, and there were also crazy gifts. Anyone whose gender was "male" saw Xiao Zeyang with a friendly face and a great cooperation.

However, Xiao Zeyang is gentle and considerate to everyone, except for Chen Xingneng who keeps making sarcastic remarks and ridicule.

"Just sign it after reading it."

"Hi! As you said, Vice Captain Xiao is interested. He hasn't eaten yet. The breakfast I bought specially for you is still hot!" Chen Xing put the breakfast in front of them like a dog.

Before he could finish signing, the phone rang in the office.

"How many secondments do you think this is?"

Xiao Zeyang ignored him. He skillfully picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Serious Cases Group 12."

He didn't know what he said on the other end of the phone, but his face became serious.

"What? I'm afraid it's not a secondment from Team 1."

"It's not a secondment, it's a case sent over, and the information has been sent to the mailbox."

"A case sent here?" Chen Xing chuckled, "Could it be a bicycle theft? Or a scooter theft?"

"It's a high school student missing."

"Missing? Can the missing be sent to our team?" Chen Xing looked disbelieving, and quickly took out his phone to open the mailbox.

"Students in the second year of Lingying Middle School who haven't come home after school"

"Lingying Middle School?"

"What's wrong? It's Lingying Middle School." Xiao Zeyang didn't understand why he was focusing here.

"It's okay, the disappearance is kidnapping? Trafficking? Or something else?"

"I don't know. After two days of investigation by the sub-bureau, there is no clue, because this is the No. 3 missing student of this school in the past six months. The missing student is not in the same district, so the case was merged with us."

Chen Sheng took out his mobile phone to look through the investigation records, and the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to laugh: "Tsk... No wonder this case was assigned to us, the adolescent boy with arms and legs, normal intelligence, and normal spirit suddenly didn't come home... quarreled with his family Run away from home."

"The family testimonies say there was no quarrel."

"That's breaking up with your girlfriend."

"The school testimonial said the three kids had no friends, let alone girlfriends"

"Tsk..." Chen Xing rolled his eyes, and looked like he had no motivation to slide down the phone: "Huh? This kid..."

"Which one?"

"The one who disappeared the day before yesterday happened to be the day the bar theft case was closed, but this kid looks so cowardly, it doesn't look like he can run away from home..."

The information showed a face so ordinary that there was nothing to remember, with a thin face and pursed mouth, looking timid and nervous.

"Missing person, Xu Zigui, a student in Class 1, Grade 11, Lingying Middle School." Chen Xing held his mobile phone and read the information sent: "My mother works on the assembly line of an electronics factory, and came home from work in the early morning of November 10. At about 1 o'clock, I saw Xu Zigui They went out to drink water, greeted each other and went to rest. When they got up at seven o'clock in the morning, they found that Xu Zigui had already left home. He thought he would go to school early, but he didn't come home until ten o'clock in the evening. After contacting the school, he learned that Xu Zigui hadn't gone to school all day. Didn't I say I didn't go to school all day, isn't the school curious?"

"Don't mention the school. This is the third missing student. If you want to go to the routine interrogation, you have to declare in advance, saying that you are afraid of causing panic among other students." Xiao Zeyang sighed and said, "How about an appointment?"

"Appointment, according to my opinion, this school should guide the national football team and play football professionally." Chen Sheng said helplessly, "What about monitoring? It's not that difficult to find someone with this technology now."

"Coincidentally, the old city where Xu Zigui lives is being remodeled, and the surveillance coverage is extremely low. The last person to see him was a convenience store along the street. The other two students also disappeared after walking into a blind spot of surveillance."

"So they got lost on their own initiative. You said that they were all boys in high school. No one kidnapped them. There was no kidnapper's phone number, and no nameless corpse was found. Maybe these children will come back by themselves in two days."

"I can't say for sure, maybe I'll be back." Xiao Zeyang smiled and said, "You complain every day about doing odd jobs for others, why don't you feel happy about not doing odd jobs?"

"I still want to be a salted fish looking up at the starry sky." He rubbed the stubble on his chin, stuffed his phone into his pocket, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the house of the missing child."

Wencheng is a small city. Over the years, we have been busy building a civilized city. Everywhere is demolished and rebuilt. After a few years of tossing, it still can’t change its messy appearance. For example, now, it’s obviously not the rush hour for commuting. Chen Sheng was still blocked on the road.

"Tsk, this road is really dead. I'm afraid it will be blocked 24 hours a day."

"Isn't this catching up with the reconstruction of the underground pipeline, and we're almost there, so let's pull over and stop at the next opportunity," Xiao Zeyang said while looking at the navigation to find the direction.

After 10 minutes, I finally stopped the car, got out of the car and looked around with my pocket in my pocket. There are buildings from the last century on the side of the road. If I really look into it, I am probably older than him. The gray cement walls are mottled and mottled. Even the red bricks inside can be seen clearly.

Except for the convenience store on the corner, which seems to be in line with the world, the rest are vegetable stores and hardware stores, which are not as valuable as the monitoring system.

Those who are still living in the old city today are either migrant workers who leave early and return late to do some physical work, or are poor households living on subsistence allowances, and those whose family conditions are a little more ordinary bought a new house early and moved out. .The renovation of the old city is obviously in full swing. One side is circled to dig ground and repair pipelines, and the other side is circled to build scaffolding and repair walls. Even the traffic lights at intersections have been turned into temporary solar lights to direct traffic. It is illegal to take pictures Such a thing hardly exists.

Chen Sheng followed Xiao Zeyang into the community, turned around and found Xu Zigui's house in the corner. There was almost no light in the corridor, some voice-activated lights were on and some were not. The two of them hid the cardboard boxes and garbage under their feet. The bag went up to the third floor.

The paint on the iron anti-theft door was peeling off, and it was barely recognizable that it was once full of vitality. The light yellow wooden door inside was so old that its corners were warped. Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. The information clearly stated that Lingying Middle School was a noble school.

"coming"

The person who opened the door was an old woman with gray hair, pursed mouth, stern eyes, clean clothes, at least 60 years old.

"Hello, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Chen Sheng and Xiao Zeyang took out their ID cards: "Is this Xu Zi's home? Let's find out the situation."

The old woman's eyes were red when she heard the words Public Security Bureau, and she pushed the door open, and the old iron anti-theft door slammed, which could not cover her sharp voice and asked urgently: "Is there any news from Zigui?" Did you find it? Where did this child go? Zigui? Zigui?"

She passed Chen Xing and Xiao Zeyang, and seeing that there was no third person behind her, her eyes dimmed, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light, and she stared at the two of them expectantly.

"Sorry, there is no news yet, we are here to find out the situation." Xiao Zeyang's smile was a little stiff at the moment.

"What the hell are you police doing? It's been so many days and you haven't found it!" Seeing the light in the old woman's eyes dimmed, hatred welled up, and she was about to pounce on them and tear the two of them to pieces in the next second.

Chen Sheng answered with a cold face: "We are here to understand the situation, please cooperate, are you from Xu Zigui?"

The old woman seemed to be shocked, the corners of her mouth trembled and she put on a sad expression. "I am Zigui's mother."

Chen Xing met Xiao Zeyang's eyes, Xu Zigui was only in his teens, why did his mother look so old that she could be his grandmother.

"Mother Xu, may I ask if Xu Zigui has anything unusual recently?"

"What's abnormal, what could be abnormal?" Mother Xu turned around sadly: "Zigui has always been an obedient child, and I don't know why..."

Chen Xing walked into the living room and stood in the middle to look around. It was a very typical old house. The living room was square and the floor height was very low. Probably because it could only get light from the kitchen window, it was dark and depressing.In the living room, there is an old long sofa and a long square coffee table covered with a floral tablecloth, which looks very old.

"Then do you know where he usually goes?"

"He goes to and from school every day. Zigui is a good boy. He doesn't go anywhere, but goes to and from school on time."

"Then does he have any particularly good friends? Or any close classmates?"

Mother Xu still shook her head and said tremblingly: "Zigui is introverted, doesn't have many friends, and doesn't communicate with us much. Every day when he comes back, he goes into the room to study. Zigui is very sensible and gets first in every exam. Comrade police, please find him, I can't live without him..."

Xiao Zeyang comforted Xu Zigui's mother in a soft voice, Chen Xing pouted and stood up and asked, "Then can we go into his room?"

It's normal for adolescent boys not to want to talk to their old mothers. Let's see if we can start with privacy.The children nowadays are really too big to run away from home, and the rebellious period is really enough.

Xu Zigui's bedroom door is next to the entrance door. Unlike the dark living room, this bedroom is spacious and bright with a large balcony. The room furnishings are also simple, with a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and nothing else besides a wardrobe. .

Everything is neatly arranged, even the clothes in the closet are very neat, there are several thick stacks of teaching materials on the desk, and the walls are covered with awards that Xu Zigui has received since he was a child. Miyoshi student and No.1.

Chen Xing casually picked up a booklet, crumpled as if it had been drenched in the rain, and opened it to carefully write down the lecture notes, as well as water marks that could not be erased.

He was a good student, that's right, Chen Xing remembered his textbooks that were cleaner than his face.I opened the drawer smoothly, but I didn't expect that even the inside of the drawer was very tidy.

There was a cardboard box in the drawer. When I opened it, there were vocabulary books, replacement pen refills, new erasers, new soft leather notebooks and homework books.The cardboard box only took up half of the drawer, and the other half was empty.

Staring at the drawer, Chen Xing felt that something was wrong, he always felt that the drawer should be fuller.

He glanced at Xiao Zeyang, who was also looking at him, and shook his head helplessly. This child looked cleaner than a blank sheet of paper, and had no useful clues at all.

At this moment, the living room door suddenly rang.
