Li Zhudao, Xiao Wu and Lu Kai continued to go outside Wen Zhong's villa that night, but found that it was still lifeless and motionless inside.
Qinghe City is located in the Shiwanshan Mountains, and many buildings are clustered on the mountains or stand alone among the mountains and forests. Wen Zhong's villa belongs to the latter. This made the three of them want to ask their neighbors about Wen Zhong's whereabouts, but they couldn't find anyone.
The three men returned without success again.
Dark clouds cover the moon, which is undergoing its final brewing. The entire land is shrouded in darkness, and the original snarling teeth of the woods are also soaked in the death light, looking so dejected and powerless.
The reason why I wanted to find Wen Zhong was simply to learn more about Li Haijun from him.
The next day, the three of them came to Wen Zhong's villa again. While the deaf man was waiting for the mute man, comrades from the Information Section of the Qinghe City Criminal Police Detachment gave Lu Kai a message: Wen Zhong was missing.
At Lu Kai's request, comrades from the Information Section searched for Wen Zhong's identity information, trying to find his whereabouts or whereabouts, and also to find out whether he had changed his mobile phone number. After searching, they found: Wen Zhong's name The mobile phone number has never been changed, but there is no call record after February 26 this year. The bank account number and identity information also have no online consumption or travel records after this point in time.
In other words, this person disappeared out of thin air.
Under the current big data conditions, the so-called "missing" of a person has a high probability of being murdered. It is only when no one is found alive or dead that there is such an official and honorable name of "missing".
Li Zhudao immediately contacted Peng Liang and learned that Li Haijun asked him whether he could leave Qinghe after March 1. He immediately told Lu Kai:
"Wen Zhongji may have been killed, and the murderer may be Li Haijun. Wen Zhong and Qu Lulu had an affair. After learning about this, Li Haijun probably couldn't bear it and killed someone in anger. Then he used the excuse of the company's bankruptcy to rub oil on his feet. In fact, it was Because he fled out of fear of committing a crime."
"At that time, the investigation of Li Haijun's alleged financial fraud had just concluded, but he deliberately took this opportunity to ask Peng Liang if he could leave Qinghe, and also deliberately revealed to Peng Liang the fact that Qu Lulu had cheated on Wen Zhong, with the purpose of using this to enable him to abscond and commit suicide again. A layer of cover."
Although this is just a personal guess and has no solid evidence, it is completely logically true and seems to have achieved the goal Li Haijun wanted.
At least, before Wen Zhong was discovered to be missing, no one had ever doubted Li Haijun's "escape". Even Peng Liang, who knew the "in details" of Li Haijun, believed that Li Haijun's "escape" was caused by his career and marriage. The inevitable result after a double blow.
After Lu Kai pondered for a moment, he put forward a different opinion: "Your assumption is based on the premise that Qu Lulu cheated on Wen Zhong. Since Li Haijun intentionally revealed the information about Qu Lulu's cheating on Wen Zhong, is this information true or false? Or? Is it possible that Qu Lulu’s cheating partner was not Wen Zhong, or that she didn’t cheat on her at all?”
Li Zhudao said: "This is a paradox. If Qu Lulu's cheating partner was not Wen Zhong, or Qu Lulu did not cheat, then Li Haijun would have no motive for Wen Zhong's disappearance. In other words, Wen Zhong's disappearance and Li Haijun's There will be no connection."
"The problem is, if Li Haijun didn't have a guilty conscience and just wanted to run away because of the company's debt problem, why did he deliberately disclose this false information to Peng Liang? The reason why he did this intentionally was because he seemed to be worried that Peng Liang would I have some doubts as to why he ran away."
Lu Kai insisted: "In your opinion and Peng Liang's view, because the land owned by Genesis is about to be expropriated, Li Haijun is about to receive a large amount of compensation. As long as he persists, he may be able to survive the debt crisis. Therefore, you both think that the company's The debt problem is not enough to make Li Haijun run away."
"Is it possible that Li Haijun is not the kind of person with a strong will and a strong heart that you think? He just couldn't bear the pressure of debt, so he came up with the idea of running away. Then, he deliberately fabricated
What excuse does your wife use to cheat on her business partner to cover up her own cowardice? "
Li Zhudao believes that Wen Zhong's "disappearance" is related to Li Haijun, and Li Haijun's "motive" should be that Qu Lulu exposed Wen Zhong. However, Lu Kai believed that it was not necessarily true that Qu Lulu had cheated on Wen Zhong, and even suspected that Qu Lulu had not cheated on him, thus fundamentally denying the hypothesis that Wen Zhong's "disappearance" was related to Li Haijun.
The two were holding their own opinions, but they didn't know when Xiao Wu broke into the courtyard of the villa, opened the iron door, and shouted to the two sitting on the tree stump in the forest: "Do you want to come in and take a look?"
Lu Kai smacked his lips, obviously not expecting Xiao Wu, who looked so weak, to be so skillful.
Li Zhudao saw his surprise. After standing up, he smiled and patted Peng Liang on the shoulder: "Brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Neither of us is necessarily her opponent. I take her with me when I go out to ensure my own safety." An extra layer of protection.”
The weeds in the yard had long revealed to them that this place had not been popular for a long time. It was also for this reason that Wen Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time and could not be contacted, asked Peng Jie to call for support from the Information Department, and through the big The data searched for Wen Zhong's information, and finally got the worst news.
There is nothing to describe the interior furnishings, other than that it has been unoccupied for a long time and there is a thick layer of dust everywhere.
The bedding on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor was neatly stacked, and the cabinet was full of clothes; the dishes in the kitchen were washed and neatly arranged, and the leftover rice in the rice cooker had long since turned into a pile of moldy black balls.
All these show that the owner did not travel far away or move, which shows from another perspective that Wen Zhong should have suddenly "disappeared." Between "missing" and "murdered", there is basically an equal sign.
That's why they're coming in.
For unknown reasons, the person involved suddenly "disappears" and cuts off all information related to modern society. Although such cases are rare, they are not unheard of.
For example, there are those who claim to have seen through the world of mortals and want to "live in seclusion" in Mount Wutai and return to the countryside; those who are emotionally frustrated, turn off their mobile phones, carry their bags, and decide to go on a pilgrimage to Tibet; there are also those who want to become a monk for no apparent reason, and they are really "monastic", not going to Tibet. The kind of temple that pays wages, is equipped with computers or game consoles, and allows people to get married and have children.
These people will cut off information connections with modern society. As a result, the police will be unable to search consumption records, travel records and mobile phone call records through big data searches.
But such a very small number of individuals will undoubtedly put away the bedding on the bed, bring clothes, and clean up the leftovers in the rice cooker before traveling...
After Lu Kai walked around the room, he returned to the courtyard, walked to the round ceramic water tank, and was lost in thought.
The man named Li from Yancheng said that it was possible that Wen Zhong's "disappearance" was related to Li Haijun. He just couldn't bear to have an "outsider" pointing fingers on his own territory.
Judging from the indoor living environment, Wen Zhong has probably encountered something unexpected. According to the known information, if Qu Lulu did have an affair with Wen Zhong, Li Haijun was indeed suspected of committing the crime. Although the paternity test report between Li Haijun and Xiaochen was signed two or three years ago, the appearance of this paternity test report is enough to show that Li Haijun at that time most likely doubted Qu Lulu's loyalty.
Around March this year, Li Haijun finally confirmed that Qu Lulu's cheating partner was Wen Zhong, and then Wen Zhong "disappeared". Such a possibility existed.
But if you didn’t tell us your surname was Li, wouldn’t we have thought of it?
While Lu Kai was thinking about it, he kicked the water tank.
The water tank is half filled with water. Maybe the "service period" of the water tank has expired and there is a problem with its "ability to withstand blows". Or maybe Lu Kai kicked it too hard. There was only a "crash" sound, and the water tank was actually broken by his kick. .
Li Zhudao and Xiao Wu heard the sound and came over.
"Well...it's nothing. I did it accidentally." Lu Kai said with an awkward smile. Fortunately, Wen Zhong "missed", otherwise I might have to pay for this kick.
Li Zhudao did not reply, but kept staring at his feet.
Lu Kai and Xiao Wu
He couldn't help but follow Li Zhudao's gaze and cast his gaze on the ground where the water tank had been kicked. However, as soon as the half-tank of water fell to the ground, it did not spill out in all directions, but flowed to the bottom of the tank and penetrated into the ground. It disappeared in an instant, leaving only a large wet ground.
There is a problem under the ground where the water tank is located, and there is most likely an underground space.
Lu Kai immediately saw the problem and kicked away the remaining bottom of the tank without saying a word.
Soon, they discovered a round wooden board. The huge round water tank just completely covered this piece of wood.
Open the wooden board, and you will find a huge space when you look down. A long wooden ladder leads inside.
The three of them squatted down in unison, and a damp air with a strong smell hit their faces. It was so dark inside that they couldn't see anything clearly.
basement? cellar?
Why did Wen Zhong deliberately hide this place behind a water tank?
Even Xiao Wu, who has always been reluctant to use his brain, smelled something abnormal.
The three of them discussed for a while and finally decided to leave Xiao Wu where he was, and the two of them went underground.
The two of them filed in.
Not long after, lights came on inside. Xiao Wu lay on the ground and stuck his head in, only to find that under the wooden ladder was a pedestrian passage perpendicular to it, and the light came from the passage. There seems to be room further in the passage.
"What did you find inside?" Xiao Wu shouted at the top of his lungs, but received no response.
"Hey...you guys should say something back!" Xiao Wu still only got a reply.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go down too, Lu Kai and Li Zhudao finally appeared from the passage one after another.
"Call...ask someone to come over. This is most likely a dismemberment scene." Lu Kai raised his head and said.
