today's island

Different from the hustle and bustle of the commercial district, the old town hardly has any festive atmosphere. Most of the shops are preparing to celebrate New Year's Day. It has nothing to do with foreign festivals like Christmas. It would be nice to hang some small Christmas items.

The only thing that has a festive atmosphere is Degenerate Street not far away. You can still only see a few neon lights and hear some howling ghosts and wolves, which is basically the same as a year ago.

"It seems to be almost exactly one year since we met here last time." Leading everyone around the intersection where they met Cheng Mo, Lu Yuanzhe recalled that night again.Not only did they meet each other, but they also met Yan, which was really dramatic.

"Yes." Cheng Mo nodded, "I came back from Christmas in the United States."

"If you come back earlier, we can celebrate two birthdays for you." Lu Yuanzhe imagined that the special case team was very busy at that time, and Tang Wen repeatedly asked to entertain Cheng Mo well. They might hold a party for Cheng Mo Mo was a surprise.

"It's too polite to celebrate your birthday when you just met." Cheng Mo gave him a smile.

After turning this intersection, they walked downstairs to 601.There was almost no light in the windows of the entire residential building, and the sensor lights in the corridor were also broken. Lu Yuanzhe turned on the flashlight, walked upstairs briskly, and stopped in front of the door of Room 602.

The others quietly took a deep breath to calm their breathing while climbing the stairs. Lu Yuanzhe took a closer look at the keyhole and the doorknob, and said in surprise: "Someone really came here recently."

It seems that the other party did not expect that the special case team would come back after a few months, and had already let down their vigilance, and did not completely wipe off the traces.

They were all old-fashioned door locks. Lu Yuanzhe took out the unlocking tool from his pocket and quickly unscrewed them.

With a soft click, he held the doorknob with his backhand and carefully pushed it open.

Just as he thought, there was no one in the room, only the symmetrical arrangement with 601 next door, and now it should be all the furniture from 601's past.

"I found the right one." Lu Yuanzhe pushed the door to the maximum, checked the surroundings again and again, and entered after making sure that there was no problem.

The furniture is full of age, including wooden sofas, old TVs, old computers, dilapidated refrigerators, washing machines, etc.

Judging from the layout of the room, although it is a bit old, Zhang Tao is not living in poverty. He has everything he should have. There are even two computers in the study that should be considered new more than ten years ago.In contrast, TVs are like those of 20 years ago, and few people should watch them.

Although there are two bedrooms, only one bedroom has a bed. Judging from the toys next to the bed, it can be seen that a mother and a child are sleeping together.

The bed in the other bedroom was emptied, but there were old adult daily necessities in the bedside cabinet, so let them guess, it used to belong to the couple.If they look at it with the magazines and photo albums piled on the bookshelf, they think this is Zhang Tao and someone's room.

Zhang Tao's household registration is unmarried, so they are probably still lovers.

"Found it." Cheng Mo finally found the resident of 602 in his notes, "Qi Qiuyu."

"So... this child is most likely to be Zhang Tao and Qi Qiuyu's... right?" Su Xiaozhi speculated according to the most normal logic.

There were traces of three people living together in the family. Even after Zhang Tao disappeared, the two of them lived in 601 without any shyness. They should not be children of other people's families.

"Notify the reinforcements in the bureau for a thorough investigation, and then look up the phone number at that time." Lu Yuanzhe ordered, looking back, Wan Yi simply connected to the traffic in the corridor and started working, so he praised, "It's awesome."

·

At four o'clock in the morning, the on-site investigation was completed, and the fingerprints of three people were found, belonging to Liu Wennuo, Deng Boxuan, and a person who hadn't shown up yet.Judging from the size of the palm, it is also a man.

The furniture has not been cleaned thoroughly. Although there are no fingerprints of Zhang Tao and Qi Qiuyu, the trace inspection has extracted DNA samples with test value, but the results will have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The landlord's phone they called before has not been shut down, but it always shows that the phone they dialed has been turned off, and the other party may not plan to answer it.

At 04:30, the auxiliary police were arranged around to follow, Lu Yuanzhe rubbed his hands and returned to the car, Cheng Mo was looking through the information of the Banyan Private Hospital.

Wan Yi did a little research and found out that this Qi Qiuyu used to be a psychological counselor at Rongshu Private Hospital, from the establishment of the hospital until 12 years ago.But then he left his job and disappeared without reporting the crime, and of course there is no death record.

She is also unmarried on her household registration and has no children. She can't contact the old residents of this building in the middle of the night, so she can only check tomorrow.Leave the coordinator for control, and everyone closes the team together.

"Let's go, there's nothing more to ask this evening." Lu Yuanzhe reminded Cheng Mo to fasten his seat belts. The two of them were responsible for bringing the evidence back to the show and driving their car home by the way.

The banquet was really not in line with his love, even if he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, clues would suddenly appear and passively spoil his good business with Cheng Mo.

"I always feel... I've seen this person before." Cheng Mo kept looking at Qi Qiuyu's photo, frowning and thinking about it for a long time, but he still couldn't fully recall it.

Qi Qiuyu in the photo was just in her twenties when she entered the Banyan Tree Hospital. She was a beautiful girl with big eyes and a feminine touch.This is still a passport photo, I should be more beautiful.

"It's normal to have seen it. Didn't your father take you there to see a psychiatrist?" Lu Yuanzhe didn't care too much. Compared with seeing him, he cared more about the hospital his father chose. "Your father is really a powerful character. Which hospital is not good?" Pick, do you have to pick this one?"

"But this was indeed a hospital with top-notch medical care in Daocheng at that time." Cheng Mo put down his phone, sat in the co-pilot seat and closed his eyes for a while. The memories of when I was young are really a bit outrageous."

"People's memory declines very quickly, not to mention your health at the time. I don't remember who I saw or did when I was nine years old. If you care, let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning. " Lu Yuanzhe comforted, stretched out his hand, and held the back of Cheng Mo's hand, which was colder than his.

"Yeah." Cheng Mo nodded, and after two seconds he reacted and became nervous, "Put your hands on the steering wheel."

"It doesn't matter what my skills are..." Lu Yuanzhe glanced at him with one hand on the steering wheel. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the rearview mirror, and a car swished past him.

It's been a long time since he, the twelfth boy in the island city, has raced a car, and all the crazy racers have thrown their plates at him.

"If we don't honk the horn, they will look down on the police's broken car, right?!" He stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and before Cheng Mo could stop him, he had already caught up with the aggressive purple sports car of the racer, "Look Have you ever played "Initial D"? Do you want to experience it?"

"I don't want to." Cheng Mo shook his head desperately, it was already too late.

Stuck at the intersection, Lu Yuanzhe held his hand on the handbrake, and the whole car made a harsh drifting sound at the intersection, which scared the new young man on the road to death, thinking that the new car he just bought would be scrapped here.

"Handling the case, handling the case." Lu Yuanzhe rolled the window of the car, flashed his police card before the other party began to scold, and then left in a hurry.

Kuo Shao, who was left behind by him, silently parked the car on the side of the road, and called his brother——

It may not be suitable for drag racing today. There is a note here to handle the case.The note is still very powerful, he may be a fighter jet in the traffic police.

·

Early in the morning, he made an appointment with Dean Chen and handed over the follow-up investigation of 602 to other people. Lu Yuanzhe drove Cheng Mo back to Rongshu Private Hospital.

He has been here several times, but Cheng Mo still doesn't recall what he talked with the doctor here, he can only speculate, and he also said some details about the case in the service area that year.

He was always frowning and recalling these things, while Lu Yuanzhe felt scared.If Qi Qiuyu was really a core member of the banquet, he probably relied on his status as a psychiatrist to get close to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo was the only survivor back then, and he was really lucky not to be killed by them.

Dean Chen still warmly received them. As a high-end private hospital in the island city, they can get in touch with some sensitive people who are inconvenient to go to the public hospital, and they are very concerned about various major events in the island city.A series of major cases this year are all related to the task force, and it is hard not to attract their attention.

"What is Team Lu here to investigate this time? Is there anything we can do for you?" Dean Chen asked enthusiastically after pouring tea for them.

"It's still a doctor from your hospital." Lu Yuanzhe handed him the information, "Do you have any impression of this Qi Qiuyu?"

"Doctor Qi?" Dean Chen took a simple document in his hand, "The one I remember is a former psychologist."

"Are you familiar with her?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"I'm not very familiar with this... At that time, I was working in internal medicine, and I only attended a few dinner parties, and I occasionally greeted a few times." Dean Chen shook his head and picked up his mobile phone, "However, her colleagues still I'm working in a hospital, I'll call you over."

He made a phone call, and 2 minutes later, Dr. Zhang from the psychology department came over.

Dr. Chen introduced each other for them, and Lu Yuanzhe shook hands with this gentle smiling Dr. Zhang.Both men in their thirties, this Dr. Zhang fits Lu Yuanzhe's imagination of a psychological counselor, and that Duan Qunfan really escaped a little.

"What do you two ask?" Dr. Zhang sat down and asked.

"I want to get to know this Doctor Qi, whether it's personality, circle of friends, or daily hobbies." Lu Yuanzhe replied, after thinking about it, he patted Cheng Mo's shoulder, "By the way, do you know him?"

"Huh?" Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng Mo.

"My name is Cheng Mo, and I did psychological counseling here more than ten years ago." Cheng Mo smiled at him, and found a photo of himself from his mobile phone, "This is me."

"Cheng Mo..." Doctor Zhang muttered the name, glanced at his photo again, and shook his head.

"He has been here before, maybe this doctor Qi treated him. We want to find her now, but she seems to have been missing for a long time." Lu Yuanzhe briefly introduced.

"It's really been a long time." Dr. Zhang nodded in agreement, and glanced at Dean Chen, "We haven't contacted her for more than ten years, right? She doesn't take the initiative to call, and we often call It's off."

"Do you know how she left?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"Suddenly, it should be... Around New Year's Day, she didn't take away her things. It was Liu Yi who packed them up for her, saying that she had resigned, right?" Dr. Zhang asked Dean Chen.

"It should be... I'm not very clear about the affairs of your department." Dean Chen recalled, "But it's true that he left suddenly, and I haven't heard of it."

Something to do with Liu Yi?Lu Yuanzhe took a look at Cheng Mo, and first asked the question he cared about the most: "Did you leave around New Year's Day?"

"Yes." Dr. Zhang nodded, "I have an impression, because at that time we said we would organize a barbecue event after New Year's Day, but she left the job suddenly."

"Do you have any impression of more than ten years ago?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"Then..." Doctor Zhang frowned and thought.

"That's easy to know." Dean Chen stood up, took out a photo album, and kept flipping through many pages before finally stopping.

"New Year's Day is coming soon, 13 years ago." He pointed to the year and handed it to Lu Yuanzhe.

I organized a barbecue that year and left photos, but there was indeed no Qi Qiuyu.

Although there is no page on this page, she has participated in the previous activities, such as tree planting and badminton, where she can be seen.Compared with Liu Yi who can only be captured in group photos, she is much more active.

Cheng Mo looked at her lively figure, savoring the intellectual and gentle smile on her face, and finally some content in his mind gradually recovered.

"What kind of person is she?" he asked Dr. Zhang.

"Hmm...beautiful, gentle, likes to read, talks a lot, likes to chat with patients for a while, and often talks..." Dr. Zhang recalled.

"One must shine while alive." Cheng Mo completed his words.

He completely remembered that before meeting Duan Qunfan, he met a gentle female doctor.She didn't treat him like a child, let him bravely express what he saw in the service area before, and told him that everything should be bravely undertaken, and it is useless to forget, even if it is forgotten for a while, it will affect him subconsciously lifetime.

She likes to say that "people should shine when they live", don't be content with mediocrity and mediocrity, experience whatever stimulation you like, don't be afraid of being special, people are most afraid of mediocrity and mediocrity.

"There is a video of the treatment, right? What about the video from more than ten years ago? Or at least the treatment records?" Lu Yuanzhe noticed Cheng Mo's strangeness, and turned to ask Dr. Zhang.

"That's really too far away, it should have been dealt with earlier." Doctor Zhang replied in embarrassment.
