Chapter 37: Humbert Humbert IV

Lang Qiao hadn't finished his troubles yet, and was about to pursue the victory. He and his colleagues continued to surround Luo Wenzhou. Unexpectedly, he took a look at the portrait that fell to the ground, scaring her drunk from the pores.
In the public security system, there are technicians who specialize in making portraits. Among them, there are many masters. In comparison, the painting skills of this portrait are really for beginners. But it is very strange. The charm of the people in the painting is unexpectedly vivid. The face seems to have been repeatedly described in the heart of the painter countless times. It was intolerable before it was put on the paper by a stiff pen.
Lang Qiao: "What is this?"
Tao Ran was kicked by Luo Wenzhou, and he was slightly awake. Realizing that he had said something wrong, he stood up on the sofa, went out to wash his face, and came back with Luo Wenzhou to pack the things on the ground: "It's the Lotus Mountain thing Right? The old man thought for a lifetime. "
"Lotus Mountain" is not a mountain. It is a place name in the northern suburbs of Yancheng. In the early years, it belonged to the county seat under Yancheng City. It has been included in Yancheng City more than ten years ago and has become a development zone.
On that page of the notebook, in addition to the expressive portrait, there were also a few yellowed old photos, which were pasted between sheets of paper with transparent tape. It took too long to fall down.
Some of them are life pictures with blurred pictures, and photo studio works with strong characteristics of the era-all are the background cloth of Dutch windmills, exaggerated lighting, and the girls' smiles are a bit stiff, such as posing for a long exposure time.
There are a total of six photos.
The old photo is very strange. All photo papers have been faded and yellowed the same for decades. If the people in the photos are happy and happy, the old yellowed traces will have a long aftertaste. The years are quiet, but if the person in the photo is later unpredictable, others review his voice at that time, but they can always see a strange and gloomy atmosphere from it, as if the owner's resentment and unwillingness are attached to the static picture, There is something in it.
"Is it Mr. Yang?" Lang Qiao asked, "how can he manage the development zone?"
"At that time, the city bureau had a policy. Those under the age of 35 had to work out at the grassroots level-either to the police station or to several counties at the time. My Master went to Lianhua Mountain and stayed there for more than half a year. "Luo Wenzhou carefully grasped the edge of the photo and re-clipped it back into the notebook." As soon as I went there, I met the case-you may not have heard of it, then I will still be preschool. "
"At first, a man came to report the case and said that the child was lost." Tao Ran flipped through the notebook. Except for the photos and portraits, most of the content on the notebook was purely handwritten. The words of the old criminal policeman were quite beautiful, handsome and powerful. Physical and tangible. The page on the front of the photo reads "Guo Heng". Three lines of key lines are drawn below the name. "Yes, the reporter is this Guo Heng. What he lost was his eleven-year-old daughter. It's called 'Fifi'. "
Hearing here, Luo Wenzhou put his hand on a thick textbook, and looked up at Tao Ran, wondering: "You're all drinking like this, remember what the girl's name was?"
Tao Ran bowed his head to avoid his eyes: "I have been listening to the old man for many years, and I can carry it back and forth."
Chang Ning is usually busy with work and spends less time watching TV. It is rare to hear people from the Interpol team tell stories close up, and she could not help wondering: "What later?"
"At that time, parents generally did n’t take their children as seriously as they do now. Eleven or twelve-year-olds are already older children. Usually they go to school or go to the same school to play. Generally, they just ran away with their parents, adults wo n’t Around them all day long. "
"But Guo Fei is a very honest girl. She has a fixed clock for school and school. She can say a good reason to come back five minutes late. She never has to worry about her at home. There is nothing special about the day she disappeared, her classmate said, Guo Fei didn't stay at school that day after school, and returned home on time. It took about 15 minutes to go from school to her house. The child was lost in these 15 minutes. My master went along with her I have stepped back and forth dozens of times. There were not so many surveillances on the road that year, but there was no special 'back' on the way home for the children. It was summer, and it was not very dark in the evening. Many people came from outside. It stands to reason that such a young girl was taken away from the street, and even if it was slightly wrong, no one would notice it completely. "
"But I visited a large circle and found nothing. They turned the school around and turned around, not even the girl looking for a hair--isn't Holmes a famous saying, 'Exclude everything that is impossible, the rest It ’s incredible, it ’s the truth,
so someone said at the time, either the acquaintance committed the crime or the child left the house."
"Following the idea of ​​acquaintances committing crimes, the police investigated them over and over again. School teachers, school workers, family members and friends of the Guo family, and even the stationery shop and small supermarket that the child usually went to, hundreds of people were summoned, but nothing was found. "
Tao Ran said this, saying a word: "Just when their investigation was in trouble, the girl's father, Guo Heng, suddenly received a phone call. No one spoke, except to hear a little girl screaming exhaustedly, the child she Mom fainted as soon as she heard it, and the police immediately found the location of the phone by the number-it was a very remote telephone booth. "
Lang Qiao asked strangely, "No surveillance?"
"No, the phone booth itself was next to the garbage station. It looked like an abandoned one. Many people didn't know that the phone was working," Luo Wenzhou said. "I found a little blood next to the phone booth, which was the same as Guo Fei's blood type, but at that time, Can't check DNA, can't determine for sure if it's her, doesn't have fingerprints. "
There was no one in Tao Ran's living room for a moment.
For a while, Fei Du, who had not been silent, interjected and asked, "No other phone call? No blackmail or ransom?"
"No," Tao Ran said. "After that phone call, the kidnapper never contacted the girl's home again. He didn't ask for money or ask for it."
Fei Du gently shaking the wine glass, if there is no smell of the wine, as if the glass is not the dry red bought in the supermarket, but Romani Conti.
"That's weird," he said. "It doesn't sound like the kidnappers are punching the children, but to torture the adults at home-what do girl parents do?"
"Guo Heng himself is a middle school teacher, and her child is a civil servant. At that time, her family situation was not bad, but she was an ordinary well-off and she was an ordinary person who received a monthly salary. It would be impossible to say that she had more money. Two I have all gone to school. I am usually a literate person. I am not ambitious at work, I have a good relationship with colleagues, there are no disputes about interests, and extramarital affairs are excluded. "
Ordinary people, ordinary parents, ordinary girls-not even beautiful children, live a life of rules. As unkind as anyone walking on the street, even if the police dig the ground three feet, there is no special story.
The folk saying "the flies don't sting seamless eggs", but the police have combed people related to the Guo family repeatedly, and even individuals have analyzed it with a magnifying glass, and found that the girl Guo Fei and her family members were "nothing." Stitched eggs. "
Time is passing, and the silent kidnapper has never spoken again. Both the police and the girl ’s family know that the child ’s chances of getting it back are very slim. The best end result is being trafficked to a place in a remote area. But more likely is ...
The kidnapper chose the girl for whatever reason, and the police were clueless.
It seems as if he is throwing dice on the street and randomly going to whomever he is.
For nothing.
No one in this world is safe.
Lang Qiao asked, "Then ... there are five other people?"
"All the clues in the case of Guo Fei's disappearance were interrupted. There was no way but to let it go. Later, the master was transferred back to the city. At that time, it was in the criminal investigation team of the Xitai District Bureau. There was another case of missing children in the area, or a girl. Twelve years old was also missing on the way out of school, and the kidnappers remained silent. The most terrible thing was that two days after the girl disappeared, a child was crying at home.
"My master immediately realized that something was wrong and reflected the situation to his superiors. At that time, the person in charge of Xitai District decided to report it to the Municipal Bureau. It was found that there were six similar cases of missing children in the entire city of Yancheng, including the surrounding counties. "
"Seven times," Luo Wenzhou added, "the last surviving girl had a special family situation. She had no father, her mother was a rotten drunkard, and she fooled around all day long. She did n’t know that the child had been lost for several days, and did not even call the police. This matter The Municipal Bureau took the lead and transferred staff from various districts to establish a task force. Lao Yang was later transferred to the Municipal Bureau because of this opportunity-but no progress was made, and there was no intersection between the missing girls, except ... "
When Luo Wenzhou said here, he suddenly remembered something. His eyes fell on Chen Chen, who was used to biting drinks and couldn't listen. After a meal, he turned his words bluntly: "Except for the kidnappers, they all use similar methods. "
"After hearing about Guo Fei's father, he took a long-term suspension of pay and stayed in the city. He wanted to wait for a result from the task force, but unfortunately he was finally disappointed." Tao Ran took the old criminal police's notebook into paper very cherishly Put it in the box, "Later, the task force also disappeared, and the case is still being remembered. Only the victim's family members and my master handled it from the beginning. After another half a year, Guo Heng suddenly found Master, He said he found the suspect. He was a teacher named Wu Guangchuan—the man in the portrait. Wu Guangchuan was the teacher of Jinxiu Middle School. Jinxiu was the earliest private junior high school at that time. It was boarding and was open to the city. It had high tuition and teaching. The quality is high. Many parents in remote suburbs and counties feel that the local middle school is not good, and they send their children to Fairview. When Guo Fei disappeared, Wu Guangchuan happened to be in the recruiting team of Fairview Middle School to the Lotus Mountain area. "
Chang Ning held his breath: "Is that him?"
"Wu Guangchuan was thirty-six years old, divorced and living alone, and there were indeed criminal conditions. Lao Yang tracked him privately and used some means illegally, but nothing was found. This Wu Guangchuan's spleen is mild and popular. Yes, he is a well-known person from far and near. He often contacts children and never crosses the line during work. Lao Yang followed for a while and felt it was not him, but like Guo Henggui, he was identified as a kidnapper by life and death. Later Lao Yang Withdrawing, Guo Heng found Wu Guangchuan with a watermelon knife and choked him. "
Lang Qiao said, "Are you dead?"
"Well, they were exhausted when they got to the hospital. They found the seventh missing girl in the basement of Wu Guangchuan, and the clothes of the previous six girls—the clothes were cut out one by one, and there were several The blood of the victim's blood type matched. The serial kidnapping of the child was so broken, but the clothes were there, but no one could be found, no one could see the dead or the dead, and the suspect died without proof. "Luo Wenzhou stood up and stretched his arms, "Guo Heng deliberately murdered and sentenced him. This matter has never been in Lao Yang's heart. He always feels that his own misjudgment led to the later tragedy. He thought about it for a lifetime-not to mention this, the bones of the suspect were cold. ,eat."
The crowd clamored at Tao Ran's house until the afternoon, and the taxi and subway were all gone. They drove by themselves to help Tao Ran clean up their new home. By the way, Chang Ning and Chen Chen also returned home.
Tao then came and was drank a few more glasses. When he washes the dishes, he couldn't stand anymore. He was "broken and safe" and was driven away by Luo Wenzhou.
The team Luo cleaned a pile of plates and bowls, and when they returned to the living room, they saw Fei Du's back facing him, and they were turning over the old criminal police's notes.
He seemed to have eyes behind him, and said to Luo Wenzhou, "Did you just say one thing less, the missing girl must have something in common-is it clothes?"
Luo Wenzhou leaned against the wall of the foyer and laughed abruptly: "How do you know that you would not be a reincarnation?"
"You took a look at Chen Chen, and then swallowed it," Fei Du turned around. "Are the clothes found in this basement of Wu Guangchuan not all floral skirts?"
As soon as Luo Wenzhou saw him, he thought of the unfortunate game console, and he was a little uncomfortable to avoid his sight: "You can teach your child to be wary of strangers and be vigilant, but you can't make her afraid to wear a floral skirt, otherwise we'll do anything use?"
"Well," Fei Du nodded gently, "Luo team was right."
Luo Wenzhou rarely heard a few good words from his mouth, and his liver shuddered because of this little nod, and sure enough, his ominous premonition came true in the next second.
Fei Du asked quietly: "Apart from Xiaobaihua, a game console ... what else?"
