third missing person

◎Like a gear that has stopped for a long time, it suddenly turns again.

Accidents always appear when people are distracted, and the end point you thought is often just a small trickle.

It was like a gear that had stopped for a long time, suddenly turned again.

Accidents always appear when people are distracted, and the end you thought is often just a small stop.

The man was holding his mobile phone in a daze. He had turned on the heater, but he still felt the cold wind blowing from all directions, and it was icy cold from head to toe.

"what happened?"

A hand clings to his waist, and the sticky and sleepy voice is like a comfort in the middle of the night.

Chen Sheng let out a breath, calmed down and said, "Chu Zhiping is missing."

"Chu Zhiping..." Like a restarted machine that needs a few seconds to respond to receive a signal, Nan Yan sat up in shock after being silent for a while: "Chu Zhiping is missing?"

"I have to go to the scene. It's only after three o'clock. You can sleep for a while."

He picked up the clothes and put them on his body, comforting the people around him with as gentle a tone as possible, looking like a scumbag who fled the scene with an excuse.

"I'll go with you!" Nan Yanyao grabbed the phone and glanced at it: "I'm a teacher, if there is anything I can help with, the teacher group is also sending messages."

"Alright then." Before he had time to think too much, he nodded in response.

In the car, Nan Yanyao held his mobile phone and shared the first-hand information he got from the teacher group, saying: "Chu Zhiping came to class today, as usual, he was not late or left early, and he did not have any conflicts with his classmates."

"Hmm...Chu Zhiping is considered thin and small. He wears black-rimmed glasses. He is very stuffy and doesn't participate in group activities. He has a good family background, but he is not ostentatious. It is said that he likes electronic products very much, and he has taken programming and Internet classes. Prizes in class competitions.”

"He's good at his homework, and he's among the best in the exams. By the way, it's said that he has a good relationship with Lu Lingyun and the others. After all, children of that class have more or less friendship with their parents..."

While listening to Nan Yanyao's description to Chu Zhiping, Chen Xing roughly sketched an image in his head, the car turned a corner and arrived at the destination.

Chu Zhiping's family is at the junction of the old and new urban areas. That area is the earliest villa complex in Wencheng. Back then, he spared no expense in digging an artificial lake and building a pavilion in the middle of the lake. But looking at the scenery now, he still looks a bit stingy.

The sensor railing at the entrance of the community recognized his car and bounced away.

"Group leader Chen, do you live here too?" Nan Yanyao was surprised.

"My parents live here." Chen Xing smiled and thought for a while before continuing to explain: "I also lived here when I was a child, and moved out after I went to college."

In the middle of the night, the neighborhood was lit with dim street lights, most of the houses were dark, only Chu Zhiping's house was brightly lit, besides a few police cars, there were many private cars at the door.

"Hello, Chen Xing of the serious crime team." Chen Xing got out of the car and took out his ID to signal.

It was the area police who came to greet him.

"Hello, Team Leader Chen." After a simple handshake and greeting, he went straight to the point: "Chu Zhiping went out to school in the morning and never came back. I asked the parents and the nanny who often lived at home and said that there was nothing unusual about the child. But Chu Zhiping His parents are often not at home, so he happened to come back this time, and I had a chat with him about the future development the night before, which was not very pleasant. But it is said that there was nothing unusual when I went out in the morning.”

"Suspect you ran away from home?"

"The family has called all the relatives and friends they can think of, but nothing."

"Can't get in touch with the child?"

"The phone is turned off, and the GPS shows that it has been near the school. It is estimated that I forgot it at school. My colleagues have already rushed over."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Chen Xing frowned, called and dragged the team members up from the bed one by one.

Entering from the main entrance is a small entrance, and behind the entrance is a huge living room. The layout of the houses in this community is similar. There are seven or eight adults sitting or standing in the living room. It's from the serious crimes team.

"Hi everyone, I'm Chen Xing from the serious crime team, and I'm the person in charge of the disappearance case at Lingying Middle School."

"Hello, Team Leader Chen, I'm Chu Zhiping's father, Chu Lianhai."

Chu Lianhai is a typical successful businessman. Even in the middle of the night, he combed his hair meticulously. His suit and shirt, as well as the wrinkles around his eyes, were full of seriousness. He looked as if he was not missing his own son tonight, but came to discuss a business.

After chatting for a while, there wasn't much to gain, so Chen Xing suggested to visit Chu Zhiping's room.

Chu Zhiping's room is on the third floor. The third floor was originally an attic. It seems that the Chu family has made some changes, expanded the floor-to-ceiling windows, smashed down useless partitions, and the entire floor is Chu Zhiping's bedroom.

There was a large bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and everything was in a mess on the bed. There was a desktop computer on the desk next to the bed, and two laptops were placed on the desk.On the bookcase beside the table are a lot of professional books related to computer programs, which shows that this child really likes to study these things.

"This room is messy enough." Chen Xing looked around, what a typical adolescent boy's room.

Nan Yanyao, who was a few steps behind him, stepped into the doorway: "I just heard from the nanny that no one is allowed in this room, not even the daily cleaning, and he will lock the door when he is not at home during the day. It's gone, I found a spare key to open it."

"You can, you have the potential to be a detective."

"How could..." Nan Yanyao turned his eyes away, his cheeks flushed slightly, even so he couldn't help teasing him: "It's just a suspect."

Chen Xing smiled, like a child, he still holds grudges.

Probably thinking of yesterday's change in relationship from "tit for tat" to "milk and milk", Nan Yanyao pursed her lips, her face burned even more, as if even this closed space became dull.

Chen Xing coughed twice, walked to the table and rummaged for any useful clues, and couldn't help sighing, "Tsk, do high school students need so many computers?"

"Probably has a different use."

"There is still money."

Books, USB flash drives, TF cards, mobile hard drives, and earphones are messed up on the table. I don’t know which computer’s wireless mouse, and I don’t know where the wired keyboard is serialized. They are all piled up together.

Many children don't like their family to tidy up their room. They argue that although it looks chaotic, it is actually orderly. If it is tidied up, nothing will be found.

But Chen Sheng stared at the table and frowned, he really couldn't see a "preface" from it.

He shook his head and opened the drawer under the table, but the things in the drawer made him a little dumbfounded.

"Is it possible that this child is still a clean freak?"

Nan Yanyao took a closer look, and there were many disposable raincoats, rubber gloves, shoe covers, and cleaning agents with obvious signs of use in the drawer.

"The room is in such a mess, I really can't tell. But why does he store so many disposable items?"

"Your school has computer classes now, so you don't need to bring shoe covers?" Chen Xing teased while squatting down to open the cabinet under the drawer, but the cabinet was locked.

"Tsk, so mysterious? Not only is the room locked, but the cabinets in the room are also locked?"

"Maybe puberty?" Nan Yanyao shrugged and guessed.

"Old Chen, are you there?" Xiao Zeyang's voice came from the door.

"Oh, you're here."

"It's fast enough, I'm wearing the wrong socks." Xiao Zeyang came in from the door, but Nan Yanyao was also on the scene, obviously startled: "Oh, Teacher Nan is also there."

"Well, I'm a teacher." He explained weakly.

"Yeah." Xiao Zeyang nodded wildly with an expression of belief, understanding, and I understood, and then asked another person: "It's a student in Teacher Nan's class again. What did you find?"

"One locked cabinet."

"Locked cabinets, you are good at this." Xiao Zeyang joked meaningfully.

"Not so good..." He smiled, raised his chin and gave Nan Yanyao an instruction: "Turn back!"

Nan Yanyao looked at the smiling two people and didn't know what was going on, so he just turned around obediently.After a few rustles, he heard two exclamations.

He hurriedly turned around, and the locked cabinet was opened, and a medicine box was placed in the cabinet. There were a lot of unopened syringes, medical scalpels, tissue scissors, etc. in the box.

"What's the situation? There is someone practicing medicine in this family?"

"Even if someone is practicing medicine, these are not commonly used medical supplies."

"Then why does he store so many things in the cabinet as a high school student?"

"Someone still sucks..."

Before Xiao Zeyang finished speaking, Chen Xing stood up with his hands on his hips: "Go and communicate, take away as much as possible from this room, these computers and memory cards are also taken away together. Then make a copy for everyone in the room." record"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and glanced at the time: "It's past six o'clock, and I will make a record for the neighbors later."

It didn't know when the sky had brightened. Chen Xing stood in the neighborhood he used to be familiar with and stretched. Chu Zhiping didn't appear like Zhang Zixuan, nor did he receive any threatening calls. A man with limbs and normal IQ The students disappeared overnight as if they evaporated again.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped him along with Chaoyang.

"Are you okay?" Nan Yanyao patted his shoulder lightly behind him.

"It's okay." He smiled: "I'll take you back first, and I have to report to school later."

"Um……"

"Ashin?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Chen Sheng turned his head: "Mom, Dad..."

Nan Yanyao was startled, and turned her head together: "Uncle, aunt."

Those in front of him were Chen Xing's parents. The two old men were wearing sportswear, and looked more energetic than the two of them. It seemed that they were doing morning exercises.

"Why are you two alone? Where's Maomao?"

Mao Mao is a little native dog raised by Chen Sheng's parents. He is not close to Chen Sheng at all. When he sees him, he yells ferociously, showing his "housekeeping" skills. This time he didn't hear the dog barking, which is really unusual.

"Maomao stepped on something and scratched her foot when she went out two days ago. It's inconvenient to walk around at home." Mother Chen glanced at the police car behind and asked, "What's wrong with this house?"

"Their family..."

Before Chen Sheng could explain, he didn't expect Chen's father to interrupt first: "Don't ask nonsense, the police will let you know everything about the case."

"It's okay. This child is missing. I don't know if he ran away from home or was kidnapped. There is no clue at all. Is there anything unusual in our community recently?"

"It's abnormal...it's nothing unusual, the law and order in our community has always been pretty good."

"Is something wrong?"

"It must be something wrong..." Mother Chen thought for a long time and said, "Recently, there have been too many sparrows."

"What's the use of that?" Father Chen rolled his eyes visibly.

Nan Yanyao couldn't hide his smile from the side. This scene was something that would never appear in his dreams. He had imagined countless times what it would be like if he could have a warm family.

But due to his lack of awareness of "warmth", all he can imagine is the appearance of public service advertisements on TV at the end of the year.

Everyone is rushing in the direction of "home", but he can only circle around in place.

"Aunt and uncle doing morning exercises?"

Xiao Zeyang's voice interrupted Nan Yanyao's thoughts, he trot out of the villa to say hello with a smile on his face, he seemed to be very familiar with Chen Sheng's parents.

"Oh, Yangyang is getting more and more energetic. When are you going to get married?"

"Soon." Xiao Zeyang greeted the two elders with a smile and said, "I'll go back with you later, my car has been requisitioned."

"Okay, then let's go and send him to school first."

After saying goodbye to the two old men, and driving Nan Yanyao back to school, Chen Xing yawned like weeping.

"What time was the wave last night?"

"What?" Chen Xing pretended.

"What's the matter...it's in the middle of the night, tsk tsk tsk," Xiao Zeyang's expression showed a trace of wretchedness.

"It's not all about solving the case, solve it quickly, and it will be fine if it is solved."

While Chen Xing was complaining, the sharp cell phone rang again, scaring the two of them to shiver.

"You can't change the ringtone of your broken phone!" Xiao Zeyang picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID, teasing: "Tsk tsk tsk, we just broke up, why don't you make it so loud..."

As he spoke, he pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone at the same time.

On the other end of the phone was Nan Yanyao's flustered, trembling voice.

"Chen Xing, come back quickly, something happened..."
