Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

"Wang Nini didn't know the purpose of her trip to Megli at first, but later, she must have read the news, and after realizing it, she decided to cheat Ji Tong again... The amount is probably not small, so she Only then can I boast to my roommates, 'After doing this job, I will never make dirty money again'..."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.

The police in the East District said: "The last time anyone saw Wang Nini was at 4 am on April 30. After that, no one knew where she went. It has been almost 48 hours now."

This is not a good sign.

Everyone knows that Wang Nini's trip is full of bad luck. If she is lucky, she will only be imprisoned. If she is unlucky, everyone may be gone.

However, a person needs a place to be imprisoned, and a dead body needs to be thrown away——

Regardless, the outlaws leave their traces.

"What about Ji Tong?"

"I can't get in touch anymore."

Xia Yi murmured: "Today is May [-]nd..."

Yan Jingjing reacted: "Ji Tong's art exhibition will start on May [-]rd!"

The police immediately split up into groups and started looking for someone.

Comrades from the East District Bureau have checked Wang Nini's itinerary on the day she disappeared through traffic monitoring.The roommate gave Wang Nini time to leave home, and the surveillance at the gate of their community captured Wang Nini taking a taxi.The police located the driver based on the license plate, and it happened that the driver remembered the little girl, because the money earned nearly 100 yuan.He said that the little girl took a taxi all the way to Heping Port in the east of Yan'an, and he dropped her off at the entrance of the seafood market.

There is a high probability that Wang Nini went there for the appointment.

However, the seafood market is densely packed with many unlicensed stalls, the population is highly mobile, and the control facilities are not in place. If you want to adjust the monitoring to find Wang Nini, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

At present, the police officers in the East District have taken Wang Nini's photo and began to search for the stalls in the seafood market one by one. At the same time, the police officers in the West District divided into two groups and began to search for Ji Tong.

According to the current records of railways and planes in Yan'an City, Ji Tong's ID card has not traveled for the time being, so the National People's Congress is probably still in Yan'an City and its surrounding areas.However, there is only one car under Ji Tong's name, which is now quietly parked in the parking lot of her apartment complex.She and her ID card rental records were inquired across the city, but nothing was found.

Jiang Mo took people to the "i Memory" art gallery, while Xia Yi and his group went to Ji Tong's studio.

"Sister Tongtong?" The little assistant of the art museum blinked, her voice was crisp and crisp, "Because it will be opened tomorrow, she went to Shoushan Fulin Temple to pray for blessings two days ago, and I heard that she will have a three-day vegetarian meal there. "

Jiang Mo: "..."

She sent her hands down to feel the thread.She came back to report that Ji Tong had indeed booked a fasting room at Fulin Temple in Shoushan for this period of time, but she neither canceled nor showed up.

At the same time, Xia Yi discovered that Ji Tong's personal studio, which is the loft apartment she rented next to the art museum, was not locked.There is no one in the room, and there are no traces of tampering or fighting. The overall decoration is refreshing and exquisite, and the books are arranged in a way that can make obsessive-compulsive disorder feel comfortable.

There is a computer on the table with a digital board plugged in, and a stack of hand-drawn sketches beside it.

Xia Yi casually flipped through and found a series of colored lead architectural works: sketch paper the size of a postcard, with a half-centimeter-wide blank space around it, and the central building is miniature and realistic, with smooth lines and full colors.

The first one is a white ivy-covered villa with a date written in the lower right corner and "home" in black letters.The second picture is a light brown Gothic building, and the lower right corner is another period, with "M City Art College" marked in black.Then there is the 'i Memory' Art Museum, to the "Penglai Princess" cruise ship, on May 5 last year... and the last picture is a cable-stayed bridge across the river at dusk.

Maybe it's because Ji Tong didn't have time to finish this work, or maybe there are other reasons, only this bridge doesn't have a corner mark.

Xia Yi stared at the bridge and couldn't help frowning.

If Shao Lin was here too, he thought, then Shao Lin would definitely say it was against peace.

This series of buildings are very realistic, but this one - the cable-stayed bridge spans the river, the background changes from orange to warm yellow. The golden light is obviously the sunset time.However, the sky was dark blue again, dotted with a curtain of stars, among which the position of the Big Dipper was particularly conspicuous.

The setting sun and the Milky Way appeared in the same picture at the same time.

Xia Yi scratched his head, does this have any special significance?

Similarly, in the background behind the bridge, you can see a tower-like silhouette towering into the sky——Xia Yi recognized this landmark building as Yan'an TV Station.

However, he was not familiar with the bridge.

At least, there is absolutely no such bridge near Yan'an TV station.

Xia Yi couldn't figure it out for a while.He put down the painting and flipped through the pile of hand-painted drawings.

Soon, Xia Yi found another strange watercolor.

The background of the picture is a deep sea, and four people are struggling on the bottom of the sea... The details of the figures are clear, and you can even see the joints on the fingers, but the face is blurred, as if it has been taken off by someone.

Taking a quick look at the painting, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but Xia Yi suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart—these three figures, don't they just look like the three members of the Xu family collapsed in the kitchen?

Especially Xu Heguang, who curled up and stretched out his hands, seemed to be struggling to point to the sky...

Just the same!

If these three figures are indeed the three members of the Xu family, then who is the fourth figure?Could it be that the meaning of Ji Tong's painting is that there is a fourth person to die?

Is it Wang Nini?

On the other side, Yan Jingjing finally broke into Ji Tong's computer.She quickly scanned through countless PS files, and finally the mouse landed on a picture, her hands couldn't help shaking: "Team leader..."

Xia Yi turned her head to look, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.

……

Just as the search for Wang Nini and Ji Tong fell into a stalemate.At 5:13 p.m. that day, the 110 Command Center of Yan'an City received a call for help...

"Help, I, I have been kidnapped, help me!" The woman's voice trembled, crying incoherently, "I, my name is Wang Nini, come and save me, I don't know where I am—what should I do, I don't know where this is-"

"Ma'am, please stay on the phone, we're locating your phone. Are you restricted in movement? Can you describe what's around? Are there windows? Is there any particular smell?"

"I'm—uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The voice of the help-seeker was suddenly cut off, and it was not known whether he was coerced by someone.Then, with a "click", the phone seemed to fall to the ground.But fortunately, the phone may have fallen into some gap, and the call lasted 35 seconds before being cut off, so that the police successfully located the phone-not enough to locate the exact latitude and longitude, but it is certain that, This call is from the Heping Harbor Seaside Warehouse in Yan'an City East District.

It is only a 20-minute walk from the seafood market where Wang Nini disappeared!

The police notified the warehouse security as soon as possible - it was completely blocked and no vehicles were allowed to enter or exit.The police forces from the east and west districts coordinated and arrived at the scene within half an hour.

This seaside warehouse is mainly for commercial use, and it is the place where cargo ships in Heping Harbor load and unload.But the warehouse occupies too much area, and there is no end to the stretches of green warehouses, and I don't know where to search for it for a while.

"I found it!" Yan Jingjing sat in the command car, her keyboard crackling, "Xu Heguang has an import and export company, and he has a lease record in that warehouse, warehouse E-06 to E-12! Ji Tong is very likely Has the right to use that warehouse..."

Jiang Mo was fully armed and led a few groups of people to surround the warehouse and investigate one by one.

"Report to the deputy team, E-06 is empty!"

"Report to the deputy team, there is no one in E-07!"

……

Finally, the police finally heard a faint call for help at the door of the E-11 warehouse.Jiang Mo pulled open the shutter door of the warehouse and turned on the overhead lights. The security team rushed in and took the lead in checking whether there were explosives and other dangerous factors in the room.

In the corner of the warehouse, there is a black bag similar to a Guzheng box, and the outline of a human figure can be vaguely seen.The person in the bag struggled and made a "woo woo woo" sound.

Jiang Mo shouted: "Wang Nini?"

"Woo-uh-uh!"

From a distance, Jiang Mo tried to talk to Wang Nini, asking if she was injured, but the other party didn't respond except for gasping for breath.

At that time, Jiang Mo felt something was wrong.

"Safety!"

Only then did Jiang Mo put away his gun and ran over.But when she opened the black bag, what she saw was a doll—the kind of doll Ji Tong used for his exhibition!

Jiang Mo couldn't help swearing.

The joints of the doll will shake from side to side, so when it is lying in the bag, it looks like a person struggling from a distance.Likewise, there is a loudspeaker in the bag that plays pre-recorded gasps over and over again.

From this point of view, the 110 emergency call was also recorded in advance and dialed out at a fixed point.

Wang Nini is not here.

They were played by Ji Tong.

The 110 emergency call was deliberately made for the police to find out here—then why did they choose this time?Why did Ji Tong transfer the tiger away from the mountain and dismiss the police? !

Jiang Mo instinctively felt that something was going to happen.

Important

……

At the same time, in the northwest suburb of Yan'an City, beside the Yajin River.

The breeze was gentle, the river was gentle against the shore, and when the sun set one more day, the sky was burning red.Occasionally, returning birds crossed the dusk and made a few chirping calls.Several tall concrete piers were erected in the river, but the overhead was empty. The roads on the left and right sides were half built, and the middle bridge was not built.

Originally, in order to alleviate traffic congestion on the elevated highway around the city, the municipal government planned to build a bridge across the river leading to Haitang City here.Later, for unknown reasons, the plan was shelved.

Far away on the elevated road around the city, the car lights merged into a sea of ​​bright light, but this place was deserted and strangely quiet.On the side of the road, there is a "seven-day fresh" pickup truck parked.Ji Tong wore a fiery red dress and a shiny silver shawl, her long hair fluttered in the river wind.

She watched a black motorcycle drive by.

Shao Lin got out of the car, put his helmet aside, and strode over.

Ji Tong looked towards the end of the empty street, with a sneer on his lips: "Very well, you came alone."

"You saw it that day too," Shao Lin said in a gentle voice, "I can't let them know."

Ji Tong stared into Shao Lin's eyes, and asked, "So, why are you still alive?"

Shao Lin's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't speak in the end.

"They said that everyone on the last ship that exploded died." Ji Tong's voice seemed to be torn apart by the wind suddenly, "Why did you survive, and why was there no one else on that ship! "

Shao Lin's voice was still calm: "Where's that girl?"

"She's still alive." Ji Tong thumbed back, pointing to the truck compartment, "You tell me—the truth about what happened on the boat that day——I'll return her to you."

"Okay, I promise you. You let her have a word with me."

The woman shook her head: "She couldn't speak. It was too noisy, so I had to pour her medicine down."

"Ji Tong, I'd like to tell you everything that happened on the boat that day," Shao Lin raised his hands, palms facing Ji Tong.His eyes were sincere and his voice was gentle: "But before that, I need to confirm with my own eyes that she is still alive."

"It's strange," Ji Tong showed a distorted smile, "You actually care about the life and death of the hostages."

She reluctantly opened the door of the truck, and sighed softly: "Go and see for yourself."

Shao Lin supported the cabin with one hand, and flipped into it lightly.

Ji Tong tossed her hair, and chattered behind him: "This bitch is also big-hearted. I didn't have to be so troublesome. I spent 5 yuan and hired her to have a meal in the Mega Mall and buy another I bought something. Anyone who is sensible should just take the money and disappear obediently. Tsk, this stupid girl with no eyesight actually dares to threaten me."

In the cabin, Wang Nini was lying face down with her hands tied behind her back, her hair was messed up.Seeing that she didn't seem to have any external injuries, Shao Lin felt a little relieved.He touched her neck on one knee, but suddenly became alert: Why is there no pulse?

At this moment, Shao Lin's eyes dimmed, and it was Ji Tong who closed the carriage behind him!

His heart suddenly hung in his throat.

Shao Lin flew forward almost like a conditioned reflex, but his hands slammed into the cold iron door of the truck.There was the sound of metal twisting outside, and Ji Tong had skillfully locked the car door.
