After visiting the fifth house, when the young woman living alone closed the iron door on the second floor of the small apartment building, Lu Yao lowered his head to check the information, and then realized that the case had progressed.
It should be regarded as the decisive progress to end this stage.
Kidnapping, counter-murder, Zhuang Bai fainted and was arrested, Yu Xuanyi went to the police station to take notes.
Of course, the part about Li Ming's appearance was suppressed for the time being. Liang An only made up a less outrageous and deviant version based on what Zhuang Bai could provide - Zhuang Bai mistakenly tied up Li Ming in disguise, and Yu Xuan Yi, as an enthusiastic person who had lost his mobile phone, called in a familiar police officer. He followed up and found Zhuang Bo fainted at the scene, and took him back to the police station.
"Are you relieved?" Liu Che saw that she breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression also softened.
Lu Yao nodded: "Our boss should have arranged everything well. Now it depends on whether we can find any useful clues."
They were investigating a recent murder by a human trafficker that was suspected to be related to Yu Xuanyi when she was adopted into an orphanage as a child. Just now we were conducting a visit to each registered child. Among those children, the vast majority were sent back home, and those sold by relatives were given to other relatives or orphanages to be raised.
In order of age, they visited three boys and two girls, a total of five former lost children who were older than Yu Xuanyi.
One of them is still studying in school, two are working at home, one is working outside the home, and the other is a white-collar worker living alone - the woman they visited just now.
These victims who have experienced trafficking incidents are now on the right track in their lives, and have returned to their most normal lives as children without any danger. Lu Yao was cautious at first when he asked questions, fearing that he would accidentally poke a pain point in someone's heart. However, he found that most of the children were not very impressed by this matter.
After all, they were rescued in a daze on the way to being abducted. This experience is far too late to progress to the most painful part. Most children return to their parents without realizing that they are being taken away from them. Rather than saying it is a tragic situation in life, it is better to say that it is a journey with a bad purpose. It is a natural ending that is blurred in the memory.
They are the lucky ones among the misfortunes, the few lucky ones who were rescued in time among the thousands of victims of trafficking.
Because of this, not only did they not have the difficult-to-handle reaction that Lu Yao imagined, but most of their review of the incident was in the tone of what others told them - not from their own memories, but from the interactions between their elders and the police at the time. their description. Lu Yao even had some doubts. Maybe it would be better to ask them directly to the police officers investigating the case. Maybe they could restore the expressions of these adults who were no longer children.
Lu Yao had been making various inquiries just now, but he generally got the same results. For example, after leaving home, I ate and lived with some children of the same age in a unclean environment, and then got in the car together and fell asleep in the car. When I woke up, I found that the police uncle was taking people out of the car one by one. . What follows is the clearest content from the police.
Occasionally, the only difference lies in trivial matters such as motion sickness, unaccustomed eating habits, and temper tantrums.
But after Lu Yao was about to leave directly, Liu Che temporarily stopped her at the door. The two found a hiding place around the corner and waited in the shadows before he explained.
"The woman just now, I think there may be other breakthroughs in her."
Lu Yao scratched his head in confusion.
"Let's wait first." Liu Che made a shushing gesture and motioned to observe the security booth at the bottom of the apartment building. "When you asked just now, I paid attention to her expression and movements."
"How to say?"
"I've been hesitating for a long time." After all, Liu Che has rich experience in observing people's opinions. "I have read her information. Her usual work should obviously be a type that often requires direct communication with customers. If she has no hidden ideas, her language organization skills should be better. Smooth.”
But just now, the lady pondered for a moment in mid-sentence several times - if it were during her working hours, the customer would have run away out of impatience.
Being idle is also idle. Lu Yao felt that this reason was acceptable, so he waited outside the door with Liu Che.
But acting like a thief was so uncomfortable that Lu Yao finally couldn't hold back and asked: "So we are going to squat on that young lady, wait for her to come out, and then follow her quietly to find out how she is." What secrets are you hiding?”
Liu Che glanced at her and thought for a while... Although he felt that this method seemed more like a perverted stalker, there seemed to be no better solution.
"I still suggest that you greet her directly at the door." After waiting for a while, Liu Che still said to Lu Yao.
The "targeted" girl's name is Xie Zilin. There are specific records of her in the photos left at that time. It is said that she was the first child to be interrogated. Because of this, although the interview and survey just now were conducted based on age, Lu Yao still had high expectations for her - but the facts did not reveal anything out of the ordinary.
The reason why he didn't react just now was not because the reflex arc had been preparing for a while, but because Miss Xie had announced from the beginning that she was going on a date with her boyfriend who was passionately in love in half an hour.
Although it was difficult for the two singles to tell whether Miss Xie's words contained the true feelings of expectation when she said this, they could at least realize that although the bathroom countertop that they could see when entering the corridor was filled with cosmetics, she did not have any at that time. It means rushing to put on makeup, so the authenticity of this description is somewhat doubtful.
It's just this kind of "personal family matter". Including Lu Yao, a biological woman, neither of them is familiar with the personal habits of normal women, so they can't say that their guesses must be consistent with the facts. Maybe they are just bored at home and the young couple can be honest with each other, so they don't go out at all?
But after observing for a while, they also found that no male of the right age except the residents and delivery workers seemed to come in, and Xie Zilin did not come out after the previously claimed date time. In other words, this is simply a lie to scare them away. However, Miss Xie is not a criminal suspect. It is not a big deal to tell a little lie to drive away strangers. She has not reacted too much in this regard before.
But going out is still a fact.
Because after the so-called date, Xie Zilin hurried out of the door with her bag on her shoulder and no makeup - almost bumping into a familiar-looking figure.
"Hey, are you okay beauty?"
Lu Yao waved and said.
