You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 70: Rumors about the girls' dormitory at the nursing school!
The three dishes and one soup on the table were finished by the three people in just ten minutes.

Yang Jinwen got the best deal and ate the most. While the Maozi siblings were passing the duck legs back and forth, he ate almost half a plate.

Cat felt sorry for his sister, but also for the money. He ate two bowls of rice, and for the third bowl of plain rice, he even mixed the rice with the broth from the braised pork before he was full.

Seeing his eating habits, Jiang Yuxin looked at Yang Jinwen somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Yang, please excuse my poor appearance."

Cat let out a burp, completely unconcerned: "Xiao Yang, you've never lived in the countryside. When we were kids, we didn't get to eat meat even once a month, we never saw any meat."

When I was seven years old, I remember it very clearly. Every night we ate white noodles, and my mother would put the oil jar on the highest point of the earthen stove.

Only I could reach it; my sister was too short to reach it, so she cried in frustration. We were so poor back then; even adding a little oil to our food was a luxury. Even with plain rice porridge, we had to add oil and salt.

Yang Jinwen wholeheartedly agreed: "I know, my grandparents also live in the countryside."

Then he asked, "Are you full?"

Jiang Yuxin nodded contentedly, a grain of white rice still clinging to the corner of her mouth.

Yang Jinwen stood up: "I'll go pay the bill."

Cat quickly stopped him: "How can I let you pay! No, you sit down, I'll go pay the bill."

He was rather short, only about 1.7 meters tall, and Yang Jinwen pinned him down with one hand: "Don't be so polite with me, it's just a meal."

Yang Jinwen took out his wallet and walked towards the counter.

Jiang Yuxin leaned closer to Maozi, staring at Yang Jinwen's back as she asked, "Brother, he's so tall and handsome. Is he really your colleague?"

Cat looked at her warily: "Don't get any ideas. You'll be assigned a job in a year. Your studies are the priority."

Jiang Yuxin pouted: "What are you talking about? I just think he's different from others. He's so tall, he'd be good at catching bad guys, right?"

...He seized his master's gun and shot the suspect so badly that his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

The cat nodded: "It works quite well."

Three dishes and a soup: braised pork for eight yuan, sweet-skinned duck for ten yuan, stir-fried water spinach with pork cracklings for three yuan, and white rice for three mao a bowl. Yang Jinwen ate two bowls, Maozi ate three bowls, and Jiang Yuxin ate one bowl.

The meal cost a total of 22.8 yuan. When Yang Jinwen took out his money, he found that his wallet was empty. He had donated all his money to Wen Ling to do DNA testing.

Having no other choice, he had to swallow his pride and ask Cat for help: "Brother Cat, um... I've already given all my money to Wen Ling, could you lend me some first? I'll pay you back tomorrow morning..."

“I already said, you'll have to treat us.” Cat stood up and asked the clerk at the counter, “Where's your restroom?”

"Go in and turn left." The waiter sounded a little annoyed, as if he thought the customer was there to freeload.

Cat nodded to Yang Jinwen: "Wait a moment."

He went to the restroom and came out a moment later with a bunch of loose change in one hand and a blue-black 100-yuan bill rolled up in the other.

This is the fourth set of RMB banknotes from 1990. The design on the back is the main peak of a mountain.

Cat handed the money to the waiter, who took it, frowned, and thought to himself: Why is this money still warm?

Maozi returned to his seat and handed the 100-yuan bill to Jiang Yuxin.

"Sis, I got paid. Here, take this money."

Jiang Yuxin pushed his hand away: "Brother, I have money. I haven't even used up the money you gave me last time."

Cat insisted: "Go buy two outfits. You're an adult now, you should dress up nicely and look pretty."

Jiang Yuxin laughed and said, "Am I not pretty?"

As she said this, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Yang Jinwen, who was sitting to the side.

The cat felt as if it had been stabbed in the heart again: "Alright, I'll help you cross the street."

The three of them left the restaurant and headed towards the Chengnan Health School across the street.

It was already past two in the afternoon, the sun was blazing, and the road was scorching hot. When he arrived at the gate, Yang Jinwen looked into the school; the buildings were weathered, the trees were lush and verdant, and the whole place seemed full of life.

But at this very school, from 1992 to 1996, several female students went missing for four consecutive years.

There were all sorts of rumors circulating at the time. Some said that these girls had been tricked into going to coastal cities to do that kind of business.

Some say she was abducted, and there are all sorts of rumors.

In modern times, missing persons are simply impossible to trace. Police stations can only conduct interviews and investigations, but if they can't find any clues, they can't find anything, and the case doesn't even meet the standards for filing a case.

Moreover, the data on missing persons in different provinces and cities are not interconnected, and cross-provincial investigations can only rely on the police hotline.

In 1997, only 12 cities across the country piloted computer-based household registration management.

Annan City, needless to say, suffers from institutional limitations and technological difficulties, making it essentially an information island.

Moreover, the Chengnan Health School was under the jurisdiction of the Chengnan Branch Bureau, and Chengbei had no jurisdiction over it. Yang Jinwen heard about this matter from Maozi in his previous life.

Cat heard it from her younger sister, who said that a senior from her class went missing in 92 and was not heard from for half a year.

When the mother went to the dormitory to pack her daughter's things, she couldn't bear the shock and jumped from the fifth floor of the dormitory.

Since then, there have been rumors of ghosts in the girls' dormitory of the nursing school. It is said that the mother's spirit is restless and wanders in the corridor of the girls' dormitory every night.

Some girls who go to the women's restroom at night will hear cries of "Daughter, daughter."

Moreover, more than one girl had heard about it, so the girls' dormitories at the nursing school all had their own toilets, and they didn't dare to go to the women's restroom at night.

Goodbye, Brother Yang.

Jiang Yuxin entered the school gate, turned around and waved with a smile: "Brother, work hard!"

The cat seemed reluctant to part with its daughter, like an old father seeing her off on a long journey.

Yang Jinwen, who had never been in a relationship, had never experienced this kind of feeling before. He said enviously, "It's so nice to have a younger sister."

Cat watched her sister's figure disappear behind the school building, then turned around and said, "I'm alright now. Where do we go now?"

Yang Jinwen thought for a moment and replied, "Why don't you come home with me? I'll get some daily necessities to take back to my unit."

"also."

The two rode their old-fashioned bicycles from the south of the city back to the north, traversing the tree-lined paths under the summer sun of 97.

Upon returning home, Yang Jinwen unlocked the door with his key and immediately offered incense to his mother's portrait.

Only then did Maozi learn that Yang Jinwen had lost his mother when he was a teenager.

The cat clasped its hands together and bowed to the portrait.

Soon, he no longer felt sad about Yang Jinwen's childhood experiences.

Although the deputy director of the steel plant's home looked ordinary, the furniture and appliances inside were quite valuable.

Yang Jinwen's family does indeed have two color televisions, in addition to a Sony ICF high-end radio.

The price of one of these devices is half a year's salary for Maozi, and it covers the entire frequency band with 4096 frequency storage locations. It can also be connected to an external antenna to enhance the reception of the frequency band.

"Take this radio to the dorm. We can listen to the news in the evenings when we have nothing to do." Yang Jinwen patted the radio.

"Really?" Cat asked excitedly.

Yang Jinwen nodded, walked to the dining table, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

There was a handwritten note pressed under the glass ashtray on the table.

Looking at the beautiful running script, there's no doubt that this was written for him by Yang Dachuan...
