Subsequent investigations into the house where she lived, as well as her school and parents' home found no clues.
But at that time, the investigation team also had a speculation that Yang Xueer might have been killed a few days before the fire, and the sound from the TV in the house was just an alibi forged by the criminal suspect.
However, because there was a fire in Yongmian Apartment, when the police investigated and collected evidence, there was not enough evidence to prove the authenticity of this inference. The case could only be classified as a missing case. Until now, Yang Xueer's whereabouts have not been found. "
"Then, is it possible that the mysterious woman who lived next door to Yang Xueer at that time was a suspect?"
The first case details that Officer Chen shared was the disappearance of Yang Xueer, which was generally similar to what Li Gui knew so far.
"How do you know this?"
Officer Chen over there was slightly confused, but before Li Gui could quibble, he continued nonchalantly.
"Indeed, judging from the time, this mysterious woman has a strong suspicion of crime. Logically speaking, she should be allowed to cooperate with the investigation, but just like Yang Xueer's case, she also disappeared in the fire.
Moreover, because the resident registration of Yongmian Apartment was not complete at that time, and there was a large area in the nearby suburbs without surveillance systems, the landlord's family died due to a fire.
Only some information about this woman is known based on some of the tenants who survived the fire at the time, but it is very little.
Judging from the testimony at the time, this mysterious woman seemed to have never left the house since entering the apartment, and had only met with the landlord a few times.
Some of the other tenants could only roughly know that she was tall, had long brown hair, and was wearing a white shorts. She seemed to be well-groomed, but they didn't know any other information at all, so the investigation of her could only come to a halt. stage. "
"These characteristics should be obvious. How come there aren't any clues?"
Hearing this, Li Gui murmured to himself. Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard by Officer Chen on the other end of the phone.
"Indeed, but according to the records, even if the police collected all the cameras in Shangyang County and interviewed all the taxi drivers, they could not find any clues about this mysterious woman, and..."
At this point, Officer Chen paused for a moment before replying.
"What's surprising is that this mysterious woman has been missing for nearly five years, and no one has reported the case on her behalf. It seems that this woman appears and disappears suddenly."
Chapter 96 No murderer? (Monthly ticket adds four more updates)
As a police officer, it is obviously inappropriate to use such a slightly supernatural sentence to describe a person's whereabouts.
But Officer Chen over there hesitated for a moment and said this anyway.
It seemed that the whereabouts of this mysterious woman really made him feel confused and puzzled, and he could only choose to express it in inappropriate words.
"Okay, I understand, Officer Chen, what about the other two cases?"
Wei Wei was a little disappointed. Li Gui originally thought that he would learn some brand new information from the police archives, but so far, except for the information he already knew, he still found nothing.
"Compared with Yang Xueer's disappearance case, the disappearance case of Yuan Dandan four years ago was not so confusing. At first, she and her husband lived in the city, and their financial source was Yuan Dandan. Later, they moved to Yongmian Apartment. After the queen, her husband Wang Fugui called the police. According to Wang Fugui, after Yuan Dandan quarreled with him, she bought a ticket and went back to her hometown. As a result, she didn't hear anything for several days, and he felt something was wrong."
"I just arrived at Yongmian Apartment four years ago...I first lived in the city..."
Upon hearing this time, Li Gui thought about it for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Well, the Shangyang police also found Yuan Dandan's online ticket purchase records at that time. However, Yuan Dandan's family said that after the two got married, Wang Fugui was not kind to Yuan Dandan and often punched and kicked her. So at that time, some people suspected that it was Wang Fugui. Yuan Dandan was killed, but after the police investigation at the time, no relevant evidence was found, and it could only be classified as a disappearance case."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Officer Chen."
Yang Xueer and the mysterious woman both disappeared in the fire five years ago, and the strong man only moved to Yongmian Apartment four years ago.
It seems that a previous inference has been overturned again.
From this point of view, the wailing of the woman on the fourth floor was not the mysterious woman at the beginning, but most likely the strong man's wife Yuan Dandan.
However, Li Gui did not tell Officer Chen the news.
First, he was not sure whether Yuan Dandan was still alive, and second, if he knew about such a thing, the police at the time must have investigated it.
It was not found out, either Yuan Dandan had been killed, and the sound on the fourth floor was her unwilling wailing after becoming a resentful spirit, or Yuan Dandan was imprisoned in a very secret place.
No matter what it is, it is not the best choice for him to blindly call the police and let the police come without fulfilling the long-cherished wish of his "old friend".
"As for another suicide case, it happened a year ago by an old man named Zhang Chuncui.
She and her husband Zhao Wancai moved to the relatively cheaper Yongmian Apartment after their son passed away in a traffic accident and had no source of income. Later, Zhang Chuncui contracted Alzheimer's due to age.
Zhao Wancai took care of her by picking up trash. According to the investigation at the time, Zhang Chuncui may have been afraid of dragging down his wife, so he secretly bought rat poison after a period of time. After Zhao Wancai went out to pick up trash, he committed suicide by taking the medicine. "
Although Li Gui didn't ask about the details of the next case, Officer Chen on the other end of the phone still told them all.
"Okay, thank you, Officer Chen."
"fine."
Maybe he was used to Li Gui's inquiring about these weird things, so as long as it didn't involve confidential cases, Officer Chen didn't bother to ask him what he was doing.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the young man over there seemed to have thought of something else and asked quickly
"Officer Chen, there is a painter named Wang Liang who lives here. Nothing happened?"
"painter?"
After hearing this, Officer Chen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while. The sound of typing on the keyboard lasted for more than ten seconds before he responded.
"No, he hasn't been involved in any cases. He moved into the Yongmian Apartment a year ago. Because of the privacy issues, I can't reveal too much. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually."
Although he didn't know the rank of police inspector, Li Gui was still slightly at a loss when he heard Officer Chen on the other end of the phone being so humble.
How was this different from some of the superior police officers he had seen?
It seems that everyone in that profession is clean.
"Okay, then I'll go to work. If anything happens, please contact me at any time."
"Okay, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, oh, that's right."
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Officer Chen over there suddenly spoke again.
"If I remember correctly, you seem to have moved to Jiulin City, right? I happened to be transferred to Jiulin recently. If you have time, you can come to my house and sit down."
"Officer Chen has been transferred to Jiulin?"
Li Gui was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Officer Chen would be transferred to another place, but he didn't expect that he would take up his position.
From now on, if there are locations in Jiulin City that appear in the contract, can we just ask Officer Chen to check them out?
"Yes, I was notified a few days ago that moving to a fourth- or fifth-tier city like this can be regarded as a semi-retirement. After all, Anyang County, with its high work pressure, is no longer suitable for someone like me who is about to retire."
"How could it be possible? Officer Chen is in good health. Last time I saw him, he looked like a 23-year-old guy."
It could be heard that Officer Chen's voice was somewhat nostalgic, and Li Gui quickly said comfortingly.
When he and Officer Chen were investigating the case of Mi Ran's disappearance, he seemed to have heard from other police officers that Officer Chen was the kind of old police officer who really relied on his own efforts to do his job bit by bit.
And he did everything with all his heart. It is said that there were twenty or thirty wounds of various sizes on his body. Moreover, his son later became a policeman and wanted to inherit his mantle, but it seemed that he passed away because of some things.
Perhaps because of the dark marriage contract, Li Gui saw too much darkness in human nature.
Only with hindsight can I realize how precious a policeman who has been serving the people every day for 20 years is in this society.
"Haha, it would be great if that were the case. My knees hurt when it gets cold lately... Okay, then I'll go get busy. Come to my house next time and let you have a taste of my craftsmanship."
"Yes, certainly."
After hanging up the phone, Li Gui turned around and realized that Wang Dingfeng had run behind him with a look of admiration.
Her eyes are sparkling. If that kind of look appeared on a cute girl, she would probably be much cuter.
But when it appeared on a fat man, he was really frightened.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the blind admiration in the glasses, Li Gui took two steps to the side in fear.
"Holy shit, boss, you're so awesome. You actually know the police, and you can ask people to help you check information. Dude, are you the private detective in the novel? You can guide me, I can give it to you. I'm an assistant."
"I just happened to know him. This is Mao's private detective in China."
Rolling his eyes and avoiding the chubby little guy, Li Gui took his cell phone and sat down at the table.
From this point of view, not counting Yang Xueer's disappearance, a total of three cases occurred in this apartment in five years, the tragic death of the original landlord's family, the disappearance of Yuan Dandan, and the old woman's suicide by taking medicine.
The painter who was originally the most suspicious did not have any suspicious information.
Chapter 97 Leaving the Team
"Old friend...could it mean someone Yang Xueer knew?"
Bang bang bang.
Just when Li Gui was holding the red notebook and feeling helpless, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Wang Dingfeng next to him stood up and opened the door, only to find that it was Liang Chao who had just disappeared.
The latter looked pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Until he came in, he still had that frightened expression on his face.
"Damn it, where have you been? It's so dark outside, how dare you run around."
Not noticing anything strange, Wang Dingfeng patted Liang Chao on the shoulder and joked.
In fact, his relationship with this boring gourd is not that good.
I just feel that with him in the team, he won't be the timid one anymore.
"Just now, I made a phone call, so..."
After wiping the sweat on his forehead and seeing Li Gui's suspicious eyes, Liang Chao gave him an uneasy smile.
Then the whole person stood back to the rafter position and squatted down.
In the 30-square-meter room, four men in a row did not speak for their own reasons.
The entire atmosphere returned to tranquility after a long absence.
......
an hour later.
With all the lights in the room turned on.
In front of a small table, people brought two chairs from Xu Meng's room.
After forming a circle, the first meeting of entering Yongmian Apartment began.
"Ah... Now that everyone is here, let's take advantage of this time to make a simple plan first, and then start the formal investigation."
Wu Zhouzheng took a nap and drank some water. After waking up a little, he took a pen and paper, adjusted his glasses and spoke with reason.
"Because the entire apartment is very large and time is limited, it is impossible to investigate them one by one. My suggestion is to go to the fourth floor first. If you want to investigate the original arson case, there is no doubt that the first crime scene is the most important. Yes, and according to the news, the original landlord of Yongmian Apartment lived in 406, so I think the first step is to go to 406 to investigate. Do you have any other suggestions?"
Although it was an inquiry, Wu Zhouzheng's tone and attitude seemed to have announced unilaterally that the first place of investigation was 406, the original landlord's room.
Xu Meng frowned unhappily, and Li Gui didn't speak.
"Since we don't have any objections, let's..."
"Group leader, I just went to the fourth floor with the boss to check it out. The fourth floor has been locked and it seems impossible to get up."
But before he finished speaking, he was immediately reminded by Wang Dingfeng next to him.
"The fourth floor is locked up?"
Upon hearing this new news, Wu Zhouzheng glanced at Li Gui in surprise.
But he didn't praise him either.
Instead, he paused for a moment, then nodded with an expression that he already knew, and then after a few seconds, a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's been locked up. It's exactly what I thought. The real culprit in the original arson case. The person who caused the original landlord's family of three to be burned to death was the original landlord's brother, who is also the current landlord.
He knew that no matter how perfect the crime was, there would always be clues leaked, so in order to prevent others from being discovered, he locked up the fourth floor...
Humph, how naive, I think I know what method he used to create his alibi. "
Feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, Wu Zhouzheng had a confident smile on his face. Under Wang Dingfeng's unclear gaze, he felt the joy of being a detective for the first time.
He glanced at Xu Meng, and when he found that the other person was still frowning and looking extremely unhappy, he smiled silently in his heart.
