"7 years?"
"12 similar cases?"
When Xu Lin heard Huang Weihan's words, he knew that this case was definitely not simple.
He quickly opened the dossier bag and took out a document about two centimeters thick.
On the front page of the document, there is a young man in his 20s, who looks like he has just graduated from college, with a youthful look on his face.
Xu Lin looked at this young man who was about the same age as himself, moved his eyes downwards, and saw the information about him.
"Lin Yun, a recent graduate of Haiyuan University, is from Jiangyun City. He went home during the summer vacation to apply for a job as a company employee and disappeared four days ago..."
After reading the pages of information, Xu Lin gradually frowned.
This Lin Yun can be regarded as a student with excellent academic performance. He is still applying for the postgraduate entrance examination at Haiyuan University, and according to the teacher, he is almost a sure shot.
Such a well-behaved child with excellent academic performance and obedience in the eyes of his parents is, to many people, at the level of other people's children.
It is indeed strange for such a person with full criminal responsibility to suddenly disappear.
But it's just weird.
After all, it is normal for an adult to go away for two or three days.
In modern society, this situation is very common.
Not to mention young people in their early 20s, even middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s will choose to run away from home because they cannot handle too much work and life pressure.
Xu Lin once read a report that when encountering problems, 14.9% of people would make such a choice (without research, please do not go into details).
So, it's not surprising.
But Lin Yun's family said that he went out after receiving a strange phone call and never came back after that.
Xu Lin's brows wrinkled.
Nothing could be seen from this file, so he raised his head and wanted to ask Huang Weihan what the other cases were like.
Just when he looked up, he saw Huang Weihan holding a thick stack of dossier bags and looking at him with a smile.
"I know you need detailed information on these cases, and I have already prepared them for you."
"Also, Deputy Xu, from now on, I will be your follower. If you have any requirements, please tell me at any time."
Xu Lin: "..."
He said: "Huang Zhi, give me a cup of tea. Just use the old tea in the tea jar hidden behind your cabinet to make me a cup."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Weihan's eyes suddenly widened.
"How did you know about my jar of tea?"
"Heaven and Earth Conscience, those are the tea leaves I brought back from my hometown in Fuzhou. Although they are not tea leaves from those thousand-year-old mother trees, they are at least hundreds of years old."
Xu Lin smiled: "Huang Zhi, you have to know how to share good things. Do you think you hide it well, and don't think about what we all do?"
"Hey! I just guarded against that old fox from Xia Bureau, but I didn't expect that I was beaten by you." Huang Weihan shook his head and turned to get some tea in his office.
Soon, this guy made a cup of tea, and the strong aroma of tea immediately filled Xu Lin's office.
"Drink quickly, but don't tell Xia Bureau." Huang Weihan couldn't help but tell him.
Xu Lin shook his head and said nothing. At this moment, he was attracted by the file in his hand.
"Zhang Shouyi, 45 years old, male, from Jiangyun City. A water plant employee, disappeared on his way to get off work in March 23, and there has been no news yet."
A photo of a seemingly honest and honest man was posted on the first page of the file, followed by the circumstances of the disappearance, the investigation at the time, etc., all in the file.
“In normal times, people often report missing people, but in the past five years, we have found almost all the missing people in Jiangyun City.
Even if all we find is a body, we will implement it.
Only these 12 were left without a trace. Huang Weihan said.
Xu Lin nodded and continued to look at the file.
It has been more than half a year since he disappeared in March this year. The family and the police have been searching for him, but there is no news so far, just like he disappeared from the world.
Today's technology has become very advanced and surveillance is everywhere.
But this Zhang Shouyi is the same as Lin Yun who just disappeared. From the time they disappeared until now, the two people did not have any monitoring equipment, and no one has seen them.
"Is there a ghost?"
Xu Lin frowned, and he ignored Huang Weihan and continued to open the third file.
"He Yihong, female, 38 years old, full-time mother..."
A 38-year-old woman, a stay-at-home mother, also disappeared suddenly without any warning.
The three people have absolutely no connection from a social perspective.
Xu Lin even felt that there was no possibility that these three people would know each other.
A college student, a waterworks worker, a stay-at-home mother, their social class hardly provides them with the opportunity to get to know each other.
There really is a ghost!
Xu Lin's eyes flashed with light, and he immediately opened the fourth file.
"Wang Bin, male, from Jiangyun City, 41 years old, delivery boy..."
The fourth one.
There was still nothing in common between them. Xu Lin carefully looked at every word on the file and found that there was almost no direct connection.
Then the fifth, the sixth, the seventh...
After reading all 12 files, Xu Lin rubbed his eyebrows and then remembered the teacup next to him.
The tea had already gone cold, and Huang Weihan didn't know when he left.
He picked it up and took a sip, then pulled out all the photos and posted them on the whiteboard in his office.
12 people, the oldest is 53 years old and the youngest is only 14 years old.
The first person to be reported missing was a 27-year-old second-generation demolition worker named Han Chenchen.
He came out of the nightclub and drove home.
As a result, the car was found on the side of the road the next day, but the person was missing.
Xu Lin felt a little numb when he thought that one person was missing one after another, but the criminal investigation detachment had no clue.
Such a major case made him feel a lot of pressure.
And after reading so many files, he himself had no clue.
But this is normal. He is not the only smart person in the world. If he could see the clues so easily, he wouldn't be hanging here all the time.
"finish watching."
While he was looking at the photos on the whiteboard in deep thought, there was a knock on the door, and Huang Weihan walked in with a snack from the cafeteria.
"How is it?" He looked at Xu Lin, his eyes full of hope.
Xu Lin shook his head: "You haven't discovered it for so many years. You want me to see things and dream in a few hours? I am not a god!"
"Uh... yes." Huang Weihan's eyes dimmed slightly.
In the past 7 years, 12 people have disappeared, and they all disappeared in such a strange way. No clues have been found yet. He feels that he is ashamed of the families of those who reported the case.
Xu Lin took the lunch box in his hand and looked at the whiteboard while recalling the information he had read in his mind.
"The family members of Lin Yun and other six people said that they received calls before they disappeared."
"The remaining six people's families were not around when they went missing. By the time the case was reported, most of them had been missing for nearly a month."
"The time of disappearance is not certain, but it is basically early morning, afternoon, or evening or late at night."
"The approximate location of the disappearance covers almost the entire urban area of Jiangyun."
"Jiangyun City!"
Xu Lin raised his head suddenly, swallowed the food in his mouth and threw it aside, and rushed to the whiteboard.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then drew a rough location map based on where each person disappeared.
"Did you find anything?" Huang Weihan suddenly lost his composure.
