Chapter 16:

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Fang Qing got up in the duty room for a short time. After washing his face, he stood in the corridor smoking and refreshing.
The clouds in the distance became brighter and brighter. But that chill was still in his chest, lingering.
Suddenly I want to talk to people.
With a cigarette in his hand, he reached out his cell phone and dialed a number.
There were more than twenty sounds before someone picked it up. His voice was dumb, and he was clearly awake: "Hey?"
"Hey, what are you doing?" I found out that my voice was extremely tender.
Jin Xiaozhe at the other end seemed to stumble, saying, "What's wrong with calling?"
"Nothing, just ..." I miss you.
"You seemed to be calling the day before yesterday, and you were there at the scene, but you didn't have time to answer it. Anything?" He asked casually.
"Forget it," Jin Xiaozhe answered.
"Oh."
"I'm all right," Jin Xiaozhe said.
"Jin Xiaozhe ..." He thought of the transfer application report in the drawer.
"Don't call at this time in the future," she said coldly. "I went out at night yesterday and went to bed at 4 o'clock. I still have to shoot at 8 o'clock today. You have a job and I have a job."
Fang Qing stared at the black screen of the mobile phone for a while, and wanted to scold "My Grass", but couldn't bear to scold. The morning air was cold, but his heart was hot. After holding the mobile phone for a while, bored and playing with nostalgia, I put it back in my pants pocket.
Two people have come up on the stairs. Stepping in the morning mist, the look is exactly calm and clear.
It's Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao. Fang Qing immediately notified them to come.

In front of the three were reports of five disappearances.

...
Fang Qing said: "This is what I selected from the missing population bank. The five victims, all young women, look good. Their cases have common characteristics: first, they all travel to the ancient city alone; second Witnesses saw that they had bought a car or boat ticket and went to other counties and cities. Third, the police investigating the cases were from different provinces and cities, so these cases were not linked together. But now, At least two of them have a clear connection with the Yao family. I suspect that this is a serial case! In the ancient city, there is a pervert criminal who specializes in abducting and mutilating young women! "
Jian Yao bit her lower lip lightly, and her heart was a little turbulent. Mr. Bo Jinyan's expression also became solemn, his eyes were cold, but it was like being ignited by a handful of black flames: "Show me the details."
Fang Qing passed the printed information to the two of them.
Jian Yao was still watching carefully, but Bo Jinyan beside him was reading very fast, and circled the data one by one with a pen. Jian Yao watched what he circled:
"Introverted."
"Introverted, not many friends."
"Parents died."
"My father died of illness and my mother lives in Hunan."
"The economic conditions at home are average."
"Finance at home."
...
The last thing he circled was the bus station or dock mentioned in the five files.
Bo Jinyan looked up and said, "All the missing persons are of similar age and similar in appearance and temperament-the tastes of criminals are stable. They are introverted, have little social experience, weak social experience, simple family relationships, and even the death of their parents-easy for criminals Control, and not easy to attract the attention of the police. Poor economic conditions in the home and belonging to vulnerable groups-this may satisfy the criminal's strong psychology. Moreover, the way they 'disappear' in each case is the same. The time interval between cases is also regular . You can investigate the case. "
"But ..." Jian Yao asked, "why do you have witnesses every time, seeing them leave the ancient city, thus diverting the attention of the police?"
Bo Jinyan and Fang Qing looked at each other.

Canglang Wharf is located in the west of the ancient city. It is both a tourist attraction and a real passenger terminal. In addition, the peak season is now approaching, and the pier is overcrowded.
Bo Jinyan, Jian Yao, and Fang Qing stood wearing sunglasses. Everyone's face was hurried, hurriedly traveling, hurriedly taking a boat, and hurriedly leaving.
"Oh." Bo Jinyan sighed. "It's really different from the way of traveling abroad. It's so crowded. How do you think the witnesses really see the victim's face?"
Jian Yao's heart moved: he meant ...
Fang Qing also showed a smile: "The witnesses of the two cases of disappearance are ticket sellers in the sentry box. But now the ticket sellers have been replaced, and it will take some time to find them."
Bo Jinyan said immediately: "It is very easy to select witnesses. There is too much traffic at the dock, which will ensure that the police can find the exact witnesses when they come to investigate."
The three approached the sentry box, and after looking at it for a while, Jian Yao froze.
Because it is no different from the conductor at any other tourist attraction. The conductor sat impatiently behind the window without looking up.
"Do an experiment," Bo Jinyan said.
Fang Qing nodded: "I'll call a policewoman."
Although Jian Yao roughly guessed their intentions, but ... the two have just known each other for a few days, have they been so tacit?
When did Bo Jinyan's masculinity become so good? It's not because of marriage, the aura has changed, and it has become ... began to recruit criminal police men like it?

"Hello, I'll buy a ferry ticket to Zhouxian."
"20 dollars."
"To ... oops."
Hearing the exclamation, the conductor raised his head, only to see a girl in a light blue T-shirt, wearing a hat and sunglasses, bowed his head, and bent over to pick up the money on the ground. On the red shoulder bag, a small brass wind chime hung softly.
The conductor repeated his head again.
The girl took the boat ticket and got on board. There were a lot of people on the boat, but the girl arrived early and sat near the bow. Just kept looking outboard. The driver of the bow saw the outline of her faintly across the glass, but there was always such a person in view.
In Zhouxian, the girl lowered her hat and got out of the boat. He also inquired about the hotel in the direction of the crew, and the bell on the bag jingled.
after an hour.
"Hmm--" Someone knocked on the glass. The conductor raised his head and handed a police card to him, behind Fang Qing's solemn face.
"Have the girl been here?" Fang Qing asked.
The girl in the photo, wearing a light blue T-shirt, a red shoulder bag, and a small brass bell. Slim figure with long shawl.
The ticket conductor thought about it for a moment: "Yes, yes! I just came here and bought a ticket to Zhouxian."
"Are you sure? See?"
"You see, it must be her!"
On board.
Fang Qing showed the photos to the crew.
The crew thought about it carefully, and suddenly answered, "Yes! Just sit there! It's pretty!"
"Did you see? Are you sure?"
"Yes! It must be true!"
...
In the afternoon, the three Bo Jinyan and the policewoman who was ordered to come sit in a small shop by the dock and eat rice noodles.
The policewoman has changed Jian Yao's clothes and changed back to plain clothes. But such a discovery is not pleasant, but only helpless.
"This can't blame these 'witnesses'." Bo Jinyan said, "Ordinary people often remember strangers through some key features and details. Such as Jian Yao's clothes, bags, and even unique pendants. We see In those missing files, the 'witnesses' did say very accurately some of the clothing, hair accessories, and even body characteristics of the missing person. Moreover, if ordinary people can play a role in facing such a major criminal case, It is true that there will be a strong sense of existence and participation. This psychological trend will even lead them to believe that the memory is originally vague. The more you think about it, the more you will become clearer. "
"You can't blame the policemen who handled the case that year." Jian Yao said, "Because it is a case from different cities and at different times, you can't find the rules without concatenating them. The criminals are so meticulous and meticulous that it is difficult to find the problem. "
