Lin Xuerou was last seen on surveillance cameras at around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. There are not many students who stay in school on weekends. Generally, only junior high school students who need to take entrance exams apply to stay in school, and these students have no time to hang out in school. Therefore, they quickly found traces of her in the surveillance.
Wearing a school uniform and carrying a white leather backpack, she came out of the student dormitory and walked toward the southwest of the school. The southwest corner is the school's playground and cafeteria. Although there are surveillance cameras along the way, the school is more arbitrary when setting up the camera layout. It does not consider how to maximize the reduction of blind spots. There is a gap between exiting one camera field of view and entering another camera field of view. Lots of white space.
"She should have gone in the direction of the playground." After observing the school's environment and terrain on the spot, and comparing Lin Xuerou's direction of travel in the surveillance video, the police came to a conclusion.
But there's nothing there. In addition to a circle of plastic runway and green trees planted around the runway, there is a wall surrounded by iron fences and bricks. What on earth is she doing here? How did it disappear?
After asking several classmates who were friends with Lin Xuerou on weekdays, they didn't know why she stayed in school last weekend.
Wen Qiao looked through the list of student dormitories, and a familiar name came into view. Gao Caiqin was not only Lin Xuerou's classmate, but he also lived in the same dormitory with her.
Arriving at school, Ling Ling was a little surprised to see him and blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Wen Qiao did not answer, but said directly: "Did you know that Gao Liqun's daughter is in the same class as the missing girl, and even lives in the same dormitory?"
Ling Ling said "Ah" and then said: "It seems so... What's the problem with this? Is it possible that she is related to the disappearance of that girl?"
Wen Qiao just said lightly: "Can you tell if you can go and ask?"
Although there is one less person in the class, others still have to attend class as normal. They took advantage of the break to call Gao Caiqin out.
When Gao Caiqin saw him, an expression of joy flashed across her cold face. But after seeing the person following him clearly, she immediately became disappointed: "Where's Sister Liu? Why didn't she come with you?"
Ling Ling also saw the change on her face and instantly became unhappy: "She's not a police officer, why did she come?"
When Wen Qiao heard Gao Caiqin suddenly mention Liu Mengwei, his heart suddenly moved: "Have you seen her often recently? What is she doing recently?"
When she was in the hospital last time, in order to appease Wang Huaying's emotions, Liu Mengwei offered to provide free psychological counseling to the two children to help them grow up healthily. Perhaps because Liu Mengwei was particularly sincere in admitting her mistake, or perhaps because of this promise, Wang Huaying did not continue to hold her accountable in the end.
Ling Ling and Gao Caiqin were both stunned when they heard Wen Qiao's question, but their thoughts were completely different.
Ling Ling was surprised that Wen Qiao, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, could care about someone so straightforwardly, and she couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in her heart.
And Gao Caiqin smiled meaningfully: "I have seen it a long time ago. You two denied it last time. So, you just want to pursue Sister Liu, right?"
Wen Qiao didn't expect that her question would be misinterpreted like this. He lowered his face and interrupted her seriously: "What are you talking about?"
"Wow! Uncle, you are so old, aren't you still embarrassed?" Gao Caiqin covered her mouth and laughed.
Wen Qiao had nothing to do with her, so he sighed helplessly and simply stopped asking about Liu Mengwei. "Then tell me your story."
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Gao Caiqin showed a confused expression.
"Isn't Lin Xuerou your roommate?" Ling Ling couldn't bear that the two of them had been chatting for a long time without getting to the topic, so she impatiently interrupted and said: "You two usually have a lot of contact. Regarding her disappearance, do you have anything to say about her disappearance?" What clue?"
Hearing this, Gao Caiqin just curled his lips: "What clues can I have? I'm not her mother. I keep an eye on her all day long."
Ling Ling also saw the clues: "You two don't have a good relationship."
"Yes." Gao Caiqin said angrily: "So I basically don't know anything about her. You'd better ask others."
Ling Ling felt a little angry at her indifferent attitude: "She is your classmate after all. She is missing. Aren't you worried at all?"
"What's the use of worrying? Will I be able to find her if I worry? After all, it's not that your police are useless and can't find her." Gao Caiqin spoke sharply, leaving Ling Ling speechless.
"Okay." Wen Qiao interrupted the bickering between the two: "But, after all, you live with her and have more opportunities to come in contact with her. Maybe you can remember some details to help us find her."
"We found out that she went in the direction of the school playground before she disappeared. Do you know why she went there? Have you heard her say anything related to there?"
"Playground?" Gao Caiqin murmured, seeming to remember something.
"I don't know why Lin Xuerou went to the playground, but speaking of the playground in our school, I actually encountered something there."
Ling Ling became more energetic and asked quickly: "What is it?"
"One night I couldn't sleep, so I was wandering around the school. When I walked to the playground, I suddenly heard someone talking near the fence on the other side of the playground. I hid and took a peek, wondering what was going on. What are you doing hiding here at such a late hour? But after a while, there was no movement over there. Then, I walked over to take a look, and found that no one was there."
"Couldn't he just climb over the wall and escape?" Ling Ling guessed.
"But there is an electronic fence on the wall of our school." Gao Caiqin retorted.
"Then maybe he left through another exit." Ling Ling added.
"If that's the case, I will definitely see it." Gao Caiqin said very confidently.
"So, you think those people disappeared out of thin air from the playground of your school, just like...just like Lin Xuerou." Ling Ling's face changed slightly.
But Gao Caiqin just shrugged: "I didn't know about that. It was only when you mentioned 'playground', 'missing' and so on that I remembered this matter. I had almost forgotten about it."
Ling Ling had no clue and looked at Wen Qiao as if asking for advice.
"Do you still remember where they disappeared?" Wen Qiao asked.
"Well... I only remember a general direction. After all, there are no lights over there. It's dark at night and I can't see anything clearly."
"Lead the way."
The three of them were about to head towards the playground, but at this moment, Wen Qiao suddenly stopped. He stopped Gao Caiqin and said, "Don't you have to go to class later?"
Gao Caiqin woke up from a dream: "Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me! Well, uncle policeman, help me ask for a leave from our teacher. I don't want to go to class anyway, so just let me handle the case with you!"
Wen Qiao looked at her steadily, his cold eyes could see into people's hearts: "I heard that your academic performance was very good before, why are you like this now?"
Gao Caiqin looked like "Why are you here again?" and said impatiently: "Uncle police, you are too lenient! My mother doesn't care about my grades, so what are you worried about? Aren't we going to investigate the case? Just now you were eager to find Lin Xuerou, what happened? Are you not in a hurry now?"
Ling Ling was also a little surprised. She didn't understand why Wen Qiao suddenly became concerned about other people's academic performance.
"Have you never felt anything was wrong?" Wen Qiao said reluctantly.
"Something's wrong? What's wrong? I don't understand what you're talking about." Gao Caiqin's eyes dodge, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is not telling the truth. .
Wen Qiao stopped asking her, because he suddenly thought that he couldn't get the question out of her, but someone must already know the answer. Even if faced with a sudden accident, even if he is forced into a corner, that person can successfully turn danger into safety, and even turn the tables, take the initiative, and turn disadvantages into advantages.
As the Gao family's family psychologist, what else can't be learned? No matter what the password Gao Liqun left on his two children, the person who can best decipher it must be her.
