Within a week, more than 16 children went missing in six coastal provinces, and they all went missing in places considered relatively safe, such as schools and homes. The oldest of the missing children was [-] years old.

Surveillance only photographed them arriving at the school and the community, but did not photograph them leaving. They seemed to have evaporated in a corner.

Mainstream media released information about missing children through various channels, appealing to the general public to provide clues.

Families with children in the coastal areas are in danger and want to watch their children 24 hours a day. Some parents tie their children to their wrists or waists with ropes when they sleep, and wake up when the children make any movement.

Schools at all levels have strengthened management, and students are not allowed to run around after class, and they have to report when they go to the toilet.The students complained quite a bit, but the parents were very satisfied. It is better for the child to be unhappy for a while than to lose it.

The case of missing children in the entire six coastal provinces alarmed the Chinese authorities, who immediately dispatched a task force to the coastal areas to stabilize the situation, and the Special Investigation Office was also ordered to do so.

The disappearance of these children can be described as bizarre. After deliberation, the experts of the special investigation team actively asked the Special Investigation Office to assist in handling the case, and the possibility of transferring the case to the Special Investigation Office for responsibility cannot be ruled out later.

Zhao Yi dispatched Su Jianlan and Yun Chuchu to the coastal areas with the task force to investigate.

Not long after the task force arrived in Hong Kong, Yue Province, where the most cases of missing children have occurred, the Hong Kong Public Security Bureau received another report.

It was Saturday, and Wei Chang, who was only 12 years old, disappeared in a cram school.

The educational institutions offering cram schools have rented an entire floor of office buildings, and the effects of tutoring are well-known.The teacher is in charge, and each small classroom is equipped with a camera. Parents can log in to the educational institution's APP to obtain permission to watch real-time monitoring, so they can safely put their children there for tutoring.

It can be seen from the monitoring records that during self-study, Wei Chang had some unhappiness with several nearby classmates. After the quarrel, he left the classroom and entered the toilet, and then did not come out again.

About 15 minutes later, the tutor entered the classroom and found that Wei Chang was not there, so he went to the toilet to look for it.After coming out, the teacher entered the classroom again and asked the students to look for Wei Chang together, but found nothing.

Half an hour later, the teacher called the police.

Not surprisingly, Wei Chang disappeared in the toilet. Except for the exit, there is only a small window to enter and exit the toilet.Outside the window is the height of the ninth floor, and there is only a decorative frame less than two centimeters where I can stand.Unless Wei Chang grows wings, he is unlikely to get out of the small window.

This is a very typical way of disappearance in this case. The victim entered the dead corner of monitoring and then disappeared.

Integrating all the current clues, Yun Chuchu believed that the case should be handled by the special mediation office and reported to Zhao Yi.The special case team can't refute, but they can't leave yet, they have to stay and continue to handle the case to stabilize people's hearts.

Saturdays and Sundays are statutory holidays, and Luo Zizhou also legally has the opportunity to take vacations.

He wants to take a vacation and no one can force him to go to work, so Zhao Yi grabs Xin Zhu as a strong man without saying a word.

Xin Zhu couldn't resist his heart of loving the people like a child, and he was about to leave as soon as he agreed, and Luo Zizhou could only follow silently.

Several cases involving a wide range of cases were accumulated in the special mediation office. Zhao Yi could not easily leave the headquarters, and he was also incompetent.

Xin Zhu put Luo Zizhou's shoulders on his shoulders and looked at Zhao Yi proudly: "We who practice Nuwa Dao care about the country and the people."

Zhao Yi paused slightly: "Why do you see that?"

"Professor Luo usually works so hard, and even took the initiative to ask Ying to go with me to investigate the disappearance case. This is called loving the people like a child and caring about the world." Xin Zhu said in a relieved tone.

Zhao Yi looked at Luo Zizhou with slightly raised eyebrows and pitying eyes.

Luo Zizhou grabbed the waist of the person next to him: "Time is running out, let's go."

The purpose of hugging the waist and shoulders is to avoid getting lost during the teleportation process, Luo Zizhou thought honestly.After landing on the ground and standing firmly, he still didn't let go of his hand, and even rubbed twice on that slender waist.

Xin Zhu rubbed his nose without noticing it, but kept his hands back and walked forward, Luo Zizhou followed behind, twirling his fingers unconsciously.

The port city is surrounded by water on three sides, on the edge of the land, surrounded by many islands, and there is a bit of sea water in the air.

"I'm probably a freshwater snake." Xin Zhu didn't like the smell of the sea very much.

Luo Zizhou handed over to the special case team in a formulaic way, and he didn't hear Xin Zhu's resentment: "Before solving the case, we need the full assistance of experts."

The case was transferred to the Special Investigation Office, and the case was actually handled in a coordinated manner, but the main person in charge changed a bit.

Naturally, the experts are not free-spirited, and their eyesight and keenness to details are comparable to others.

"Of course, it is our common goal to solve the case as soon as possible."

Breaking away from the scope of ordinary disappearance cases or trafficking cases, and examining these cases with a metaphysical perspective, the characteristics of the missing children themselves are very important.

Is there any quality in them that attracts the perpetrators, or is it simply indiscriminate hunting?

Soon, most of the missing children's information was in place.Their age span is not small, ranging from four to 16 years old, and the proportion of boys and girls is almost equal, which is obviously different from abduction and trafficking cases.

In typical abduction cases, traffickers tend to abduct younger boys, so it is easier to find a "buyer".Older children have memory and can cause a lot of trouble.Girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old or even older will be sent to the mountains where they cannot escape, and will be imprisoned for a lifetime.

The task force is still racking their brains to think about the motives of the perpetrators in a conventional way, not only because the parents who lost their children need answers, but also because of their professionalism.

The focus of the Special Investigation Office is different—calculate the horoscopes of the missing children from their birth dates, and deduce their fates for analysis.However, things are not that simple. There is nothing special about the birthday horoscopes of these children.

The printed missing children's information was spread out on the table in a mess, and the people around the table were helpless. Su Jianlan's hair was about to be scratched bald by herself.

"I have an irresponsible guess." Xin Zhu poured down a glass of water, "Could it be that evil cultivator who deprived his vitality? Children have more vitality than adults."

Yun Chuchu pondered: "Since the Special Investigation Office noticed him, he has been active around Los Angeles, but it is not ruled out that he was imitated before and then moved his position. However, these children are not alive or dead, and they even make troubles. It seems that such a big movement is not his style."

Xin Zhu only made conjectures based on the existing conditions, and Yun Chuchu's rebuttal was well-founded, so he could only continue to work hard.

"The murderer committed crimes frequently and irregularly, and his traces jumped repeatedly among the six coastal provinces. Could it be that a gang committed the crime?" Su Jianlan sorted out the time and place of the missing cases, and connected them according to time on the map to form a group Messy.

Luo Zizhou took over the messy map: "Whether it's a gang or not, we can't speculate when and where he will commit crimes next time, let alone stop them. Once similar cases happen again, the parents will be emotional, and the situation will be different." It’s even worse for us to solve the case.”

In the six provinces, even if all Taoist monks in the region participate in martial law, they can only take care of a small part of the region.

"The most convenient way now is to lure the snake out of the hole." Luo Zizhou scanned the messy tabletop, "We must first find out what these children have in common before we can set the bait."

The question came back again, and Su Jianlan had one head and two big heads: "Although, we almost chewed up these children's materials and swallowed them, but we still found nothing."

"If you can't find it here, find more. Find out their parents, relatives, family situation, study situation, and all the information you can collect." Luo Zizhou's eyes flashed coldly, "The four of us are not enough, and the task force and others Let the police go together. Send all the information to Zhan Ling in an electronic file, there are so many people in the information office who don't live for nothing!"

At Luo Zizhou's order, all the public security systems and information offices of the special mediation office affected by this case were running at full speed, with lights on day and night, trying to find a solution before the next disappearance case.

"Luo Zizhou, look at this!" The one who broke into the temporary office of the Special Investigation Department with a computer was Su Youfeng, an expert of the task force.His hair was still gray when he came, but it is almost white now.

The public security systems in various regions are usually not connected to each other. This joint operation will partially connect the public security systems of the six coastal provinces for the task force to access information.

Su Youfeng discovered that there have been cases of missing children in some unremarkable small places during this period of time, but they have not been included in the missing cases in the six provinces, and are still being handled as ordinary missing cases.

While the police are struggling, enthusiastic people continue to provide possible clues.These clues were filtered by the information department before being sent to the task force, and one of the self-reports caught their attention.

The clue provider claimed to be from a relatively underdeveloped small village in the northern part of Zhongjiang Province, a six coastal province. Only in her generation did the village have college students. She is in her third year in the provincial capital Nanshi this year.Chinese people value traditions, and they have to go home for the Spring Festival, especially for students who are still studying when they have time and energy.But this year she was prevented from going home for the New Year, and her parents threatened to sever ties if she went back.

She didn't know until one month after school started that before and after the New Year's Eve, in their land with almost no strangers, children were lost one after another, and her parents were afraid that something would happen to her, so they prevented her from going back for the festival.

In several nearby villages, four or five children were lost.Some people called the police, while others gave up after searching for a while.They still keep the old idea of ​​"more children, more blessings". There are few only children, and it is inevitable to lose a child, and the emotion will fade after a while.It takes a lot of hard work and money to keep looking for it. Most people are realistic when they are not rich.

She has been paying attention to the case of missing children in six coastal provinces this time. After learning about the situation with her parents, she felt that there were similarities, so she specially informed them through official channels.

The author has something to say:

When I wrote Luo Zizhou's finger-twisting part, I suddenly wanted to eat the duck blood vermicelli soup, and I wanted to go back to Nanjing.

However, I was notified that after returning to school, there are no special circumstances and I can’t go out of the school. I don’t know if I can order takeaway and receive express delivery. The canteen in our school is really expensive and unpalatable.

Plan ahead, prepare a box of snacks first!
