Chapter 110 Silver Bell.
After Jiang Nan cleaned up the messy stove, he opened the stew pot and saw that, as expected, the soup was half overflowed, and the essence was all evaporated.
This Christmas Eve seems to be a little bit less than perfect.
He turned his gaze to the porcelain bowl on the table again. The soup Cheng Qiong sent was still steaming, exuding the sweet and fragrant chestnut smell.
But people are strange creatures, who can be agitated by a little thing to make them anxious.
Because the stewed soup was dry, even if there is still a bowl of Jiangnan, I feel that it is not perfect. As for what is missing, I can't say for a while.
At this time, the sudden vibrating sound of the mobile phone interrupted his cranky thoughts, and when he took it out, there were two words lying in the inbox—you come.
Sender: Qiu Feng.
What are you doing here?
Jiang Nan sent him a message back, but he didn't get a reply after 3 minutes, so he called again. Even if Qiu Feng couldn't hear him, he could always feel the vibration, but no one answered the phone.
In fact, Qiu Feng, like Cheng Qiong, thinks that he does not live alone, and rarely bothers him when he is fine.
Jiang Nan inexplicably remembered what Cheng Qiong said tonight, and seemed to have found the source of his anxiety, and immediately took his coat and umbrella and hurried downstairs.
The rain didn't mean to stop, but it was getting heavier and heavier. The convenience store at the entrance of the community had real-time news, saying that there was a car accident because of the heavy rain, causing traffic jams.The convenience store employee sighed deeply, and said to his colleagues: "Isn't it Christmas Eve tonight? Why is it that the news is about missing children or car accidents? It's not safe at all..."
Jiang Nan didn't listen to what the staff said later, and kept calling Qiu Feng while taking a taxi.There is a performance at the orphanage tonight, but Qiu Feng's work is not heavy. He only needs to distribute Christmas gifts. Even if he was busy just now, he should be done by now, but no one answered the phone calls.
The city bureau's phone kept ringing.
As promised, Lin Xiao put the special report on the prime time, and because of her appearance, it attracted various stars and fans to forward it. Following the trending searches, covering every network terminal everywhere, the family members of the three lost children who had not been found saw the report and called one after another. Without exception, none of them had received a blackmail call.
"Okay, we have understood the situation, and we will notify you in time of any new developments. Please pay attention and try not to change your contact information."
"Ask who did it... But the suspect is already dead... Uncle, don't cry, I'm new here, I'll panic if you cry!"
"We will do our best to pay compensation? Civil compensation will definitely be paid after the trial, don't worry." Lin An hung up the phone and muttered in a low voice, "I can't hear other people crying, especially those older than me, hey ~ Brother Jiang , these parents are all from other places, Gao Jianchun's business scope is a bit wide."
Jiang Bei picked up the call records and looked at them. The three parents were from three regions. In addition to the two in front, Gao Jianchun's criminal track spread all over the five cities, and the methods of abduction were also varied. In short, he took advantage of children's curiosity. Or his liking for a certain type of thing or person achieves the purpose of abduction. He doesn't pick men and women, and one who can take the bait counts as one.
The year when these children got lost is also different. It can be traced back to the little girl who got lost in the amusement park six years ago. Gao Jianchun himself is from Ning’an. It seems that since the little girl, he has extended his claws to other places.
"Why did he run away?"
"Ah?" Lin An scratched his head, "Isn't the abductee selling from this place to another place? He went to other places... Could it be because the buyer is in Ning'an City? Hiss——"
Lin An was frightened by his nonsense.
Jiang Bei didn't refute him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the policeman in the reception room knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Captain Jiang, someone is looking for it outside, it seems to be a family member, she said her child was lost in the amusement park."
A heavy rain brought Christmas Eve to an early end. A skinny woman came through the icy rain. Her umbrella was blown to pieces by the wind. She was wet, but she didn't care to wipe it. When she saw Jiang Bei, she pulled her clothes corner, and kept asking: "Is there any news about my daughter? Can you still find it? I came here after seeing the news. Can you find my daughter?"
Jiang Bei couldn't answer this question either.
If the lost child cannot be found in time, they can only wait until the police rescue the abducted child, and then do DNA comparison. The premise is that the parents have had blood collection, and the probability of matching is no less than that of winning the 500 million lottery.
Jiang Bei licked his lips and asked for a dry towel for her. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Gao Jianchun's death didn't seem to fill a mother's pain of losing her daughter. It wasn't an excuse that could comfort her.
"...Can you tell me in detail how your daughter got lost?"
"Amusement park," the woman almost broke down in tears when she mentioned the past, "it was the biggest amusement park on the south gate. I took Linlin there to play, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I first went to the staff of the amusement park. Help adjust the surveillance...I didn't find Linlin. I called the police later. The police also checked the surveillance and checked every exit. There was no one. How could people disappear out of thin air? What did the police say? , Which first-time offender is so proficient at abducting children, and dares to do it in a crowd gathering area..."
This woman's daughter is called Li Linyan. If she hadn't gotten lost, she would have become a slim girl by now. Li Linyan, like Lin Yixuan, happened in Ning'an City, but she was not as lucky as Lin Yixuan, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
The woman had been to the Municipal Bureau before, she was a local, and she was also the first parent to contact the Municipal Bureau. Last time she came, she only recognized the photo and didn't explain the details. When she talked about it this time, Jiang Bei suddenly reacted.
——In the past, the parents did not find all the children, so they could not determine who was the first child to be abducted. Now that the parents are all together, it is confirmed that Li Linyan is the first of the six children. But as the woman said, the process of Li Linyan's disappearance was too clean and neat , it really doesn't look like a first-time offender.
In addition to the natural anti-social personality, even if it is a serial murderer, the first time he kills a person, he can't do it so cleanly. Moreover, since Li Linyan, Gao Jianchun has summed up a fixed pattern of abduction, which seems to be very proficient.Perhaps Li Linyan was not the first one, there were people in front of her for Gao Jianchun to sum up his experience, so Gao Jianchun was handy in the subsequent abduction, but the six photos in his computer were preconceived, which created a feeling that Li Linyan was The first illusion.
If this conjecture is correct, who was the first?
six years ago……
Jiang Bei didn't know what he thought of, so he stood up quickly, grabbed Lin An who was about to get off work, and threw him in front of the woman: "You stay with her, and write down every word she said."
Lin An was stunned: "I... Hey! Brother Jiang! Where are you going?"
Jiang Bei has already rushed out the door, and while running to the parking garage, he called up the map on his mobile phone, and the mechanical female voice broadcasted emotionlessly: [The route has been planned for you, the destination is Xishan Prison. Starting from the current location, go to the prison. Driving west...]
At the same time, Jiangnan was also traveling through the rainy night. The taxi driver drove him through the rain curtain and rushed to the orphanage like the wind.
Qiu Feng still didn't answer the phone or reply to the message, because he was running quickly to the toilet at this time.
Tonight's news was like a long-buried bomb, blowing out all the filth hidden in the dark. For the first time, Qiu Feng felt that the orphanage was not his refuge, but a devil's den.
His back felt cold, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace, but the corridor was so long, and the toilet was at the end, it seemed that no matter how he walked, he couldn't reach the end.
A few windows were open, and the bitter winter wind came in with a torrential rain, blowing him soberly. He clearly knew that he had to find a safe place to hide first, and then communicate with the outside world. He had to be careful, otherwise It will startle the kid downstairs.
So he gave up going to the bathroom, turned around, and was about to enter the dressing room on the right. Suddenly, he stopped and noticed the water footprints at the door of the dressing room. He suddenly realized that there was someone in the dressing room!
At this moment, actions were faster than thoughts, Qiu Feng turned around and ran, and the black shadow hiding in the dressing room also moved, shaking off drops of water.
Fortunately, Qiu Feng was familiar enough with the architectural structure of the performance hall, so he ran wildly in the winding corridors at high speed, looking behind him from time to time to confirm that the black shadow hadn't followed, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
He opened the door of the safe passage, and was about to run down when he suddenly came to a sudden stop.
——Heiying appeared in the corridor at some point. He was wearing a wet jacket and holding a black umbrella in his hand. Following his steps, he dragged the stairs step by step, leaving a striking water mark. It also blocked Qiu Feng's way.
The lights in the corridor were dim, and Qiu Feng widened his eyes in horror. He always felt that the young people who climbed up the stairs were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
Before he had time to think about it, Qiu Feng opened the door with a backhand, and the door panel hit the wall, making a loud "bang", followed by tremors.
But the loud bang was quickly drowned out by the singing downstairs.
Qiu Xingyu was still standing in the C position of the chorus. As soon as the heavy curtain was opened, her immature childish voice hovered over the performance hall through the sound system. She sang earnestly:
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, how happy we are skiing, we're riding in the sledges; jingle bells, jingle bells, ..."
Her voice was very soft, like snow gradually melting in the sun, attracting the attention of the audience, and no one paid any attention to the movement upstairs.
Several lights hit Qiu Xingyu's body, gilding her princess dress with a circle of gold.She twitched the corner of her skirt, and her budding little body swayed slightly according to the rhythm, like a little princess walking out of a fairy tale book.
She's still singing: "Jingle bells, jingle bells..."
The young man upstairs was delighted by the singing, whistled in a nonchalant manner, and beat the ground with the umbrella in his hand to beat the rhythm, while carefully distinguishing the silver bell mixed in the singing.
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
The young man walked unhurriedly towards the direction of the sound of the silver bell, inadvertently revealing his laxity, as if he was playing a game with the prey in his bag.
Qiu Feng couldn't run anymore, no matter where he went, black shadows that appeared suddenly would block his way, sticking to him like a shadow.
He didn't even know why Sombra always found him.
Qiu Feng couldn't hear it, but at this moment, his desperately beating heart kept hitting his nerves. He heard the sound of "dong dong, dong dong" in his head, which was as heavy as a drum, urging him to run faster. faster.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the floor tiles in the corridor were wet by the rain. Qiu Feng panted heavily, not daring to look back, and carefully supported the wall to prevent slipping.
But he was unlucky after all, he staggered and fell heavily to the ground, the silver bell bracelet in his pocket also fell out, and slid a meter away along the wet and slippery floor tiles.
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
Qiu Feng was short of breath.
He had seen this string of silver bell bracelets before, and he seemed to know why Sombra could always find him.
At this moment, the young man who had had enough of playing launched a fast sprint and arrived in front of the young man in an instant.
A huge shadow shrouded the top of his head. Qiu Feng could even feel the rainwater dripping from the other person's body onto his face. He looked up and saw the young man tilted his head strangely...
"Jingle bells, jingle bells."
When Jiangnan arrived at the orphanage, the song had already ended, and the audience sparsely left the venue through the back door. The performance hall was empty, and only Qiu Zongfu was left cleaning up the garbage on the ground.
Seeing someone coming in, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Xiao Ye, why are you here? Did you not bring an umbrella? You are all soaked."
Qiu Zongfu hurriedly took off his coat and wanted to put it on Jiang Nan's body, but Jiang Nan waved it away: "Little fucking Ye, let me ask you, where is Qiu Feng?"
Qiu Zongfu was instantly taken aback by the aura of the gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River. He felt a chill hit his face, which made him shiver violently: "Qiu Feng..."
dong dong!
Suddenly there was a loud noise upstairs, Jiang Nan's heart froze, he left Qiu Zongfu immediately, and rushed upstairs three steps at a time.
"Hey! Ono!"
However, upstairs was peaceful.
——After the performance, the children have not taken off their costumes yet, and consciously take a rag and broom to clean up the rainwater in the corridor, looking united and helping each other.
When they saw a strange uncle who was drenched coming up, they all tilted their heads, their eyes showed doubts, and some even thought he had wet the freshly wiped floor tiles.
"Xiao Ye?" Qiu Zongfu couldn't run fast, he walked up the stairs panting in three steps, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Nan ignored him and quickly scanned all the children present, but Qiu Feng was not among them.He quickly noticed the locked doors in the corridor, walked over and lifted his leg, and kicked it loudly.
The little princess behind the door seemed to be frightened, twisted her red princess dress, and shouted in surprise and anger: "Uncle, you scared me!"
