Chapter 3 Child Disappearance Case

As soon as the case came out, the three of them didn't look very good. Lei Hua counted his fingers: "Now in August 17, this case has been going on for more than 8 years."

The disappearance case is troublesome. It is possible to be kidnapped, run away from home, or even be killed and abandoned in the wilderness. It is troublesome to file a case, and the workload of investigation is also heavy.

Lei Hua looked at Li Yijie and Luo Mai who didn't respond, and asked, "Re-draw?"

Luo Mai: "Okay."

"No," Li Yijie knocked on the table, "That's it."

"It's very troublesome to find the case for too long, and in the past so many years, houses should be demolished, people should be moved, and some clues can't be verified." Luo Mai persuaded him.

Li Yijie ignored him, and only said to Lei Hua, "Go to the file room and get this case out."

Li Yijie is the boss, he said what he said, Lei Hua got up and went to the file room, Luo Mai looked at the vines behind Li Yijie with his face in his hands.

"You have a mole in the corner of your eye?"

Luo Mai's eyes fell on Li Yijie's face following the sound: "Yes."

"Why didn't I see it this afternoon?"

"Cover it with liquid foundation."

"Why are you covering it? It looks pretty." Li Yijie laughed.

"My dad said that moles on the corners of the eyes are not imposing, and he looks at people like a lover."

When Luo Mai said this, he looked at Li Yijie without blinking his eyes. Li Yijie was very uncomfortable being looked at by him, and just about to say something, Lei Hua jumped over: "I found it!"

Li Yijie took a breath and took the file in his hand: "Why are you doing things so fast now?"

"Didn't I sort out the archives before, so I just cleaned it up," Lei Hua didn't think Li Yijie's tone was wrong, he continued, "I just remembered something."

"Say."

"The family knew our family, and the missing boy played with me."

Li Yijie raised his head: "What a coincidence?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I could still remember what happened more than ten years ago," Lei Hua shook his head, "I only remembered the boy's name after sorting out the files. At that time, there were a group of children, and the bosses went from place to place. He’s a positive type, and my dad told me that the boy disappeared later.”

"Really?" Li Yijie stroked his stubby hair, "I thought you came here for this kid."

"How come, I have long forgotten what he is like."

Li Yijie didn't look at Luo Mai when he said this, but Luo Mai felt that he was beating around the bush and talking about himself, so after the three of them broke up, he went to knock on Li Yijie's room.

Li Yijie had already lit the mosquito coils and turned on the air conditioner to go to bed, so he didn't find it strange to see anyone coming when he opened the door.

Luo Mai at the door had drops of water on his face, obviously just washed his face, he tilted his head and looked behind Li Yijie: "Can I come in?"

Li Yijie took a step back and made a gesture of invitation: "Come in."

The room was extremely cool, and Luo Mai touched his goosebumped arm and said to Li Yijie who was holding the remote control to increase the temperature: "Do you know me?"

declarative tone.

Li Yijie was overjoyed, he always thought that it would take a few days for Luo Mai to find out, but who knew he would notice so soon.

"Well, I saw it."

"But I don't have any impression of you," Luo Mai frowned, "You know my dad, so you should have been to a boxing gym, but I don't have any impression of you at all."

"You were in school when I was with your father." Li Yijie said.

"Then how did you meet me?"

"Your dad showed me your photos, and I dangled in front of you, but you didn't notice me at that time." Li Yijie took out his phone and threw it to Luo Mai, "Open WeChat to find your dad, and return it to me after reading it." .”

Li Yijie's mobile phone does not have a password, Luo Mai opens WeChat and finds Luo Huo's green bamboo leaf profile picture.

The last chat was three days ago. Li Yijie asked Luo Huo Luo Mai what he likes to eat, and Luo Huo said a few dishes.

There are two of today's dishes that Luo Mai likes. At that time, Luo Mai knew that he had asked his father and didn't think it was strange, but now seeing the chat records of the two of them, there is always a feeling of being prying into privacy.

Luo Mai was a little upset, he glared at Li Yijie, who was scratching his feet by the bed, and scrolled up the chat history.

The chat between Li Yijie and Luo Huo was very ordinary, mostly about Luo Mai, sometimes Luo Huo scolded Luo Mai for being ignorant and Li Yijie comforted him, and sometimes Luo Huo told Li Yijie the embarrassing things Luo Mai did before.From this point of view, Li Yijie did not take the initiative to ask about Luo Mai, most of them were brought up by Luo Huo, and Li Yijie persuaded him in turn.

"Why does my dad tell you everything?" Luo Mai's eyes became hotter the more he looked at it.

Li Yijie sighed: "Your father is too lonely, and you are not here, it is not easy for him to guard the boxing gym alone."

"My dad is only 52, why do you call him an old man who lost his independence. And my brothers and sisters can spare the whole world, okay, why is he lonely?" Luo Mai said so, but lacked confidence, he Indeed, he didn't care much about Luo Huo, but Luo Huo enlightened Luo Mai for a long time after Yu Jia's death.

"Didn't you fall in love with someone at that time?" Li Yijie said surprisingly, "It was during that time that your father always came to chat with me."

"Subject? Who?"

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Li Yijie thought of teasing: "It seems to be the name of a sport."

"Yu Jia?"

Li Yijie nodded: "Yes, that's the name."

"He's not my date, he's my friend," Luo Mai was a little upset by La Lang's partner, "It's enough time for you and my dad to discuss this all day long!"

As he spoke, he threw the phone into Li Yijie's arms, even forgot the question he wanted to ask the most, and went directly to sleep in his own room.

When he got up the next day, Li Yijie said that he would act separately today. Lei Hua went to the police station where the child disappeared to ask about the situation. He took Luo Mai to find the child's mother, Chen Juan.

On the way, Luo Mai looked at the original file, and asked Lei Hua, who was eating snacks in the back seat, "Aren't we going to find his dad?"

"His father is dead."

"died?"

"Well, following up, the two divorced. His father died in a car accident more than a year ago."

Li Yijie, who was driving, interjected: "The file hasn't been updated, how do you know?"

"My parents said, they know each other."

Luo Mai nodded and read it carefully again: "Do you have his father's death certificate and traffic accident files?"

"Do you want to watch it?" Lei Hua took out his tablet and started poking at the screen. After 2 minutes, he said, "Here."

When Luo Mai was watching, Lei Hua didn't eat any snacks, and the carriage was very quiet.

"I don't see any problem, the file is very clear." Luo Mai said softly.

Li Yijie hummed: "Lei Hua went to the local police station to bring all the relevant information about the case. Mai Mai and I went to the original site of the case first, and then went to Chen Juan to ask about the situation."

"Okay." Lei Hua and Luo Mai responded at the same time.

After sending Lei Hua to the place, Luo Mai got out of the car together. Li Yijie saw through the car glass that he asked Lei Hua something. After Lei Hua said a few words, he went into the police station and turned around to get in the car.

After Luo Mai put on his seat belt, Li Yijie said, "What did you ask?"

"I asked him if Chen Juan remarried."

"What did Lei Hua say?"

"He said that after Chen Juan separated from her ex-husband, she moved away. The specific circumstances are unclear. The last time Chen Juan showed up was after her ex-husband died. At that time, Lei Hua's mother saw her in the supermarket and said a few words to her."

Li Yijie listened, and had an idea in his mind: "The old site has been rectified, and we can't find it no matter how we dig the land, so go directly to Chen Juan for questioning."

After a while, Luo Mai asked, "There were no cameras 15 years ago, right?"

"Rarely," Li Yijie turned the steering wheel, "The crime took place in a rural area, and the probability of having a camera is very low..."

Li Yijie's words stopped abruptly, and Luo Mai turned his head: "What?"

"Let's dig the ground."

Luo Mai was puzzled: "Huh? It's not that I can't say it."

Li Yijie didn't answer but instead asked: "Back then there was a mountain in the countryside dedicated to burials. If you were a murderer and you didn't want your body to be found, what would you do?"

"You mean to bury the body on the mountain? But this Tong Jian may not have been killed." Luo Mai said.

"Tong Jian was already in elementary school when the accident happened, and he has a certain understanding of the things around him. If he has been trafficked for 15 years, as an adult man, do you think he will look for his family?"

Luo Mai thought for a while and shook his head in disapproval: "Suppose he has a good life and doesn't want to come back, or is he restrained by others and can't escape?"

"It's also possible that I accidentally fell somewhere," Li Yijie continued along with his words, "It's useless to just assume it with words, we need to find evidence that can support our hypothesis."

Tong Jian's hometown has already changed from a bungalow to a demolition and resettlement house. Li Yijie and Luo Mai walked around several neighborhoods and then went to the neighborhood committee.

Several people in the neighborhood committee sat in front of the computer and tapped. They heard that it was the police who came to ask questions, and they put down what they were doing and poked around to watch the excitement.

The community director was afraid that there would be too many people talking, so he scolded and brought Li Yijie and Luo Mai to the office.

Li Yijie first asked the director's hometown, and after learning that she was born and raised in Dai's family, he pushed Tong Jian's photo to her, "Do you have any impression of this boy?"

The community director's surname is Yang, and she is estimated to be in her sixties. She grabbed the photo and carefully identified it for a while, shaking her head: "I have no impression."

Li Yijie nodded, and took out another photo: "Where is this person?"

The photo shows a woman holding a child. Director Yang narrowed his eyes and said uncertainly, "It's a bit like Bangguo's wife."

Tong Jian's father, Tong Bangguo, was from the Dai family in Hongshan City, Jiangcheng Province.

Luo Mai and Li Yijie looked at each other: "Do you have any impression of Tong Bangguo?"

Director Yang sighed when he heard this: "How could he not have the impression that Bangguo lost his child and searched everywhere before he died?" He said and looked at Li Yijie, "Are you here to check Bangguo? Didn't he all be buried? It's been a few years."

Luo Mai was about to say that he came to investigate Tong Jian, when Li Yijie suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said slowly, "Auntie, was there a burial hill here at Daijiamen?"

Li Yijie spoke Hongshan's local dialect, and Luo Mai looked at him in surprise after he finished speaking.From the moment they sat down, Luo Mai could see that Director Yang was a little nervous. He wanted to say something to adjust it, but he didn't know how to say it. In the end, Li Yijie got it done with one word.

With a familiar and friendly accent, Director Yang's straight back slightly bent: "Yes, but all the graves were moved out a few years ago, and the hill was leveled to make a road."

"Did you go to move the grave?"

"Moving the grave is a big event. Many people went there at that time, and I invited the master to choose an auspicious day to move it together."

Li Yijie said oh and stopped talking. Luo Mai, who was recording, waited for a minute without hearing any movement and turned his head, only to find that Li Yijie was looking at him.

"Why?" Luo Mai made a mouth shape, and Li Yijie raised his eyebrows and raised his chin.

"You ask."

Luo Mai was speechless, he threw the notebook and pen to Li Yijie and asked Director Yang: "Do you remember the day when the grave was moved?"

"Can not remember."

"Then did anything happen when the grave was moved back then?" Luo Mai's eyes were fixed when he asked this question, "For example, something was added, or something was missing."

Director Yang shuddered when she said this, and she said cautiously: "I'll think about it, I'll think about it seriously."

While Director Yang was nagging, Luo Mai noticed that Li Yijie next to him was scribbling and drawing something furtively on the notebook. When he snatched it and found what was drawn on it, he poked him angrily with the tip of his pen.

Li Yijie grinned and put his hand into his trouser pocket, took it out after a while to have a look, and then stretched out his hand to Luo Mai to show him.

Luo Mai didn't pay attention and said that the strike was a little heavy, and a drop of blood emerged from a small hole in Li Yijie's tiger's mouth with pen oil.As the blood drop got bigger and bigger, Luo Mai's face turned black, and he wiped the blood away with his hands, "Squeeze your ass."

Li Yijie felt wronged: "It hurts."

"It hurts you and you're bleeding!" Luo Mai scolded and fumbled for things in his pocket, took out a pack of napkins and threw it to Li Yijie after fumbling for a long time.

Li Yijie grabbed the napkin with a miserable expression on his face: "Pen oil is poisonous, I'm about to die."

"The scourge is 1000 years, you have a job." After Luo Mai finished speaking, he turned his face away and ignored him. Director Yang, who was sitting across from him, had been watching their interaction for a long time. Seeing her smiling and watching the excitement, Luo Mai blushed slightly , hurriedly said: "You remember?"

"Thinking about it," Director Yang withdrew his smile slightly, "every family came to move the grave that year, and there were indeed many things when the grave was identified."

"What more?"

"Bone, that bone wasn't in the coffin, it was dug out when digging the ground. I was so busy at the time, I remember who said it was a cat or dog bone, and no one asked anymore after that."

Hearing that Luo Mai's whole body was tense, he was a little anxious: "Do you still remember where you found the bone?"

Director Yang thought for a moment: "Guizi's house, Tong Gui's house, I'm not sure if it's the house, after all, it's been a few years."

Asked about the address of Tong Gui's home, Li Yijie, Luo Mai and the two bid farewell to Director Yang, and when they got into the car, their faces were a little dignified.

Are the extra bones human or animal? Where are the bones now? Does it have anything to do with that Tong Gui?If everyone came when the grave was moved, would Tong Jian's parents know about the extra bones on the top of the mountain?

There are too many things to solve, Luo Mai opened the notebook with anxiety to see if there is any missing information.

As soon as he opened the title page, he saw a painting. The ugly people and gods were all angry. Luo Mai closed the book with a snap, and Li Yijie, who had been peeking at him, laughed when he saw him like this. Luo Mai looked at him with a smile on his face .
