"We have just said it. We are from the "Strange Stories" magazine. Last month we received a manuscript from a reader that strange things happened in his home. What you see are the 'strange things' we photographed. This The building pictured above is your scrap recycling plant, right?"

"I...here, what do you want to do? Is this fake? Ha, are you trying to extort money?"

"In 2002, a child in that house disappeared. We suspect this is a message left by the ghost of the child."

"Stop joking!"

Bang! Kick, kick, kick...

"Mr. Yan, don't you want to hear the follow-up to this matter? The reader had been disturbed by strange noises at home before, but after opening the cupboard door and seeing this trace, those sounds disappeared. We suspect that the ghost has already Got released."

…

"You... what do you mean? What do you mean, 'released'? Gu..."

"That's what it means literally. The evil ghost was originally imprisoned somewhere, but if he was released, he would probably go looking for his enemies, right?"

"What an enemy! We didn't do anything at all! He himself, himself..."

"Mr. Yan, what about himself?"

"He and I……"

"Mr. Yan, it's better for you to tell us the truth. Our magazine often receives this kind of manuscripts, and we also investigate various supernatural events. We have several consultants in this field. If you can tell us in detail, we will also I can find a way to help you.”

"You... can really help me?"

"Of course. This matter is more urgent. No one knows when the evil ghost will act. By the time it does, it will be too late. Mr. Yan, with all due respect, you can refuse us now, but wait until the evil ghost takes action. The evil spirits have taken action, and it may be too late for you to ask us for help.”

"..."

"Sit down and let's talk, Mr. Yan."

"good……"

"In 2002, that child disappeared. Did your brother-in-law Dong Guoqing tell you?"

"No. I mean, he didn't tell me at first. That day... he sent over the scraps he received, and I put them aside and waited for the workers to dismantle them."

"Did he deliver a cabinet that day?"

"Yes, a big cabinet, wardrobe, made of solid wood, very heavy. He said that it contained old books and newspapers collected during this period, but I didn't open it to read. In our factory here, except for the National Day scrap recycling depot, I also collect scraps from other families. Guo Qing is a relative of mine and has been in the business for a long time. I don’t even check the things he sent. I just put them aside... Not only the wardrobe, but also Guo Qing The other things that were delivered were put aside intact. There was a refrigerator placed on top of the wardrobe, and the door... pressed the door tightly. Huh... that child... that child ran in by himself. We really Nothing was done, and there was no reason for Guo Qing to kill people. When I called him over, he was surprised. He must have sneaked in when Guo Qing wasn't looking, and then Guo Qing collected other things and suppressed them. Closed... we really didn’t do anything!”

"What happened after you found the child's body?"

"We...we threw him away with the wardrobe..."

"Throw it away?"

"What can we do if we don't throw it away? Guoqing said that the police are looking for the child, and the child's parents are going crazy. We want them to know... we threw the child away overnight."

"Where was it thrown?"

"A little river over there."

"Has no one ever discovered it?"

"No. No one goes there. We sank the wardrobe... the wardrobe to the bottom of the river..."

On September 17, 2013, a search was conducted in the river and the wardrobe was found. The door handle of the wardrobe was jammed with a wooden board and contained heavy objects. Qin Jie's body was found. There were blood marks on the inside of the door panel left by Qin Jie scratching the wooden board. Notified the police.

On September 18, 2013, Qin Weiguo and Li Yu went to the police station to identify the body. Qin Jie's ghost disappeared.

On September 20, 2013, the client’s residence was no longer out of the ordinary. Case closed investigation.

I sighed and closed the file.

Qin Jie's death was a heartbreaking accident. If you want to blame someone, you can't seem to find anyone to blame.

Could Aunt Wang have encountered the same thing as Qin Jie? It was impossible for her to hide in the closet, but she might have died suddenly and accidentally. The person who found her body was nervous, scared, and timid for a while... In short, she disposed of her body casually. This became a disappearance case.

If that were the case, it would be even more difficult to get to the bottom of the case.

Accident means there is no logic, and the occurrence itself is a coincidence. To find out the truth, you also need luck.

For example, in the case of Qin Jie, if Qingye's people had conducted the investigation back then, Dong Guoqing would not have known that there was a child's body in his store and would not have acted strangely. Then Qingye's people would not have been suspected. There was no way to follow the clues and find Qin Jie.

He Juan and Zheng Xinxin are more worth looking forward to than finding Aunt Wang, but their work cannot be accomplished overnight.

Chen Xiaoqiu was discharged from the hospital three days later and returned to the office. During this period, our group's work made no progress at all. As soon as Chen Xiaoqiu came back and received our condolences, he devoted himself to finding needles in the vast ocean of data. The four of us were inspired and our passion for work was rekindled!

That is impossible……

The thin man and the fat man went to the community to brush their faces, while Guo Yujie and I were lazing around.

I have to admit that shame and shame are really terrible things. They will grow stronger over time and cannot be stopped. Originally, Chen Xiaoqiu's state could still inspire us, but now it has no effect.

"Xiaoqiu, you still have to take care of yourself." Guo Yujie wanted to corrupt Chen Xiaoqiu.

"Well, thank you." Chen Xiaoqiu turned his head slightly, nodded to Guo Yujie, and then stared at the screen again.

"How many more pairs have you found?" Guo Yujie asked curiously.

"Still sorting out this group of people. One Liu Miao is very suspicious."

"Oh? Which one?" Guo Yujie came to the screen.

"This. His parents died in 2000 and he dropped out of school. Later, he simply went through the withdrawal procedures. After that, there was no record at all."

"No jobs, no real estate transactions, no deaths. It's really suspicious."

"Can you find the contact information?" I became interested and asked Chen Xiaoqiu.

"I have the contact information from back then. I don't know if I can still get in touch." Chen Xiaoqiu clicked the mouse a few times.

"I'll make a call!" Guo Yujie volunteered. After dialing for a few seconds, she shook her head regretfully and said, "The phone has been shut down."

"The computer is down, maybe it's really him, right?" I rubbed my chin, "Does he have any other information?"

Chen Xiaoqiu looked at the screen, "His parents were the victims of the 'Minqing Massive Murder Case'."

Guo Yujie guessed: "It's probably because of this incident that he disappeared? He had a mental condition, or he was simply the murderer and absconded."

"Have you never heard of the 'Minqing Massacre'?" I was surprised by Guo Yujie's calmness. This is not in line with the Guo Yujie I know.

Guo Yujie shook her head, "In 2000, I was still young."

The update time needs to be changed. The next two updates will be in the evening, at ten o'clock and eleven o'clock.

Sorry for the lack of advance notice.
