Ling Huaan ate something, and suddenly remembered the female ghost from before. After touching his pocket, he remembered that he was wearing a hospital gown. He looked at Jiang Chengyan and asked, "Huaan, where is my bell?"
Jiang Chengyan opened the drawer of the bedside cabinet, took out the bell, handed it to Ling Huaan, and said, "The bell is here."
Ling Huaan touched the rope ring of the bell, took out one of the bell sheets, shook the bell, chanted the incantation silently, and released the female ghost.
The female ghost's expression was obviously a little flustered, but she recovered quickly and said dissatisfiedly: "You have trapped me in the bell for so long, how is my case going?"
Ling Huaan explained: "Sorry, I was injured a week ago and I only woke up today. I was about to ask about the progress of the case, so I wanted you to follow along."
"So that's how it is." The female ghost said slowly, "How are you now? Okay?"
"It's almost there, thank you for your concern." Ling Huaan looked in Jiang Chengyan's direction and asked, "Team Jiang, how's her case going?"
Jiang Chengyan naturally knew who Ling Huaan was talking about, and replied, "The case is still under investigation."
"Is her identity confirmed? Team Jiang tell us about the progress of the case."
"Her name is Lin Fanglu, 32 years old this year, born on February 2, 2989, divorced, has a daughter named Lin Miaomiao, and currently lives with her, the little girl in the photo she recalled that day is her daughter ." Jiang Chengyan hesitated and said, "It has been determined that her daughter has disappeared, and she disappeared before her death."
"Missing?" Ling Huaan and Lin Fanglu almost said in unison.
Jiang Chengyan nodded and said, "That's right. We found the photo on her body and went to her house to look for it. Her ex-husband and her family didn't know Lin Miaomiao's whereabouts. The reason why Lin Fanglu took it with her The photo of the daughter should be looking for her daughter."
Ling Huaan looked at Lin Fanglu, whose face was constantly changing, and asked, "Did you remember something?"
The expression on Lin Fanglu's face changed, and she said, "Some pictures of me and Miaomiao together. Miaomiao... have you found her?"
Ling Huaan repeated Lin Fanglu's words and said, "Team Jiang, have you found any clues about Miaomiao's disappearance?"
"Based on her last consumption record, we found out that she had shopped in Huacheng Mall, and then retrieved the surveillance video of Huacheng Mall, and found that at 2:15 pm on the 13th, Lin Fanglu and Lin Miaomiao went to the toilet together. , About 10 minutes later, Lin Fanglu came out of the toilet in a panic. Judging from her expression at the time, Lin Miaomiao had disappeared at that time. Strange thing, we repeatedly checked the surveillance at that time, but did not find that Lin Miaomiao came out of the toilet. come out."
"It's impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air." Ling Huaan pondered for a while, and said, "A five-year-old child is small, so long as it dazzles people, it is not a problem to put it in a suitcase. Team Jiang, have you checked whether you bring your luggage in and out of the toilet? people."
"I checked. We started to check when the mother and daughter entered the toilet, and until the shopping mall was closed, we didn't find anyone going in and out of the toilet with a suitcase." Jiang Chengyan frowned and said, "The surrounding of Huacheng Mall is the most prosperous in the entire Huacheng. The commercial center of the city, where the daily traffic of people is very large, I can't figure out why the murderer would start there."
Ling Huaan thoughtfully said, "More than that, Team Jiang, don't forget, Lin Fanglu died in my shop, even at night, it was across from the police station, the murderer was either fearless or really urgent. No matter where she is, she will kill Lin Fanglu."
"We investigated Lin Fanglu's identity. She graduated from the journalism department of Hwaseong University, and then studied broadcasting and hosting. Now she is the broadcasting host of Hwaseong TV News Channel, and she is also a household name in Hwaseong. Her husband is a TV station. Deputy director Li Minghui, the two are ten years apart. When they announced their relationship, it was a sensation for a while. The two soon got married and gave birth to Lin Miaomiao three years later, formerly known as Li Miaomiao. On the first birthday, Lin Fanglu announced on VB that she had divorced Li Minghui and changed Li Miaomiao's name to Lin Miaomiao."
"I have the confidence to directly change my daughter's surname, which shows that Lin Fanglu has absolute control over this divorce storm. But Li Minghui has a higher position than Lin Fanglu in his work. Does he have any control over Lin Fanglu?" Ling Hua An keenly grasped the key point in Jiang Chengyan's words.
"Indeed. Although there is no evidence, there are entertainment reporters on the Internet that have photographed Li Minghui and a well-known model entering and leaving the hotel. Combined with the result of this divorce, it is not difficult to guess that Li Minghui is indeed suspected of cheating."
"result?"
"Well, the custody of the daughter and the real estate under her name belong to Lin Fanglu. It can be said that Li Minghui is leaving the house."
"What about work? How did Hwaseong TV respond?"
"At that time, there was quite a lot of turmoil in the divorce, but there was no solid evidence, and it was settled later. Huacheng TV never responded, and Li Minghui was still the deputy director of the TV station. However, in the election for director a year later, he Not on the list."
"Let's not talk about the loss of personnel and wealth, and there is no chance for promotion. Li Minghui failed miserably in this divorce storm. He should be full of resentment towards Lin Fanglu."
"We checked the trajectory of Li Minghui's actions on the day Lin Fanglu was killed. He has an alibi, which can rule out his suspicion of committing the crime. Lin Miaomiao's disappearance should have nothing to do with him. He and his family have not been to China that day. into a mall."
Ling Huaan nodded and said, "Team Jiang, I think Lin Miaomiao's disappearance is related to Lin Fanglu's murder. To find out the truth of Lin Fanglu's murder, finding out about Lin Miaomiao's disappearance is the key."
"I know. But..." Jiang Chengyan sighed and said, "Lin Miaomiao has been missing for more than 10 days, and the possibility of surviving is greatly reduced."
"Impossible, Miaomiao can't die, hurry up and find her, hurry up and find her!" Lin Fanglu floated to Jiang Chengyan emotionally and shouted loudly.
Seeing the resentment surging around Lin Fanglu's body, Ling Huaan shook the bell and took Lin Fanglu back.
Lin Fanglu kept hitting the surrounding barrier and shouted loudly, "Let me out, let me out, I'm going to find Miaomiao, I'm going to find Miaomiao!"
Ling Huaan reminded: "You can't even remember who you are, where did you find it?"
Lin Fanglu was startled, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down her cheeks. She cried and said, "Miaomiao, my Miaomiao, mother is sorry for you, mother couldn't find you..."
Ling Huaan sighed, looked at Jiang Chengyan, and said, "It's not surprising that a 5-year-old child is mentally ill and easy to be fooled. But judging from the situation at the scene, if you want her to not resist at all, she must use anesthesia. As long as With enough medicine, the child can fall asleep for a long time, and if you hide him enough secret, the murderer will have enough time to move, not only on the day. The murderer who meets this condition must not be an accidental crime, and he must be aware of Lin Fanglu's whereabouts. Investigation." Ling Huaan paused for a while, then said, "I can carry large objects in the toilet without being suspected..."
"Cleaner." Jiang Chengyan and Ling Huaan almost said in unison.
"The cleaner is more likely, she can first knock Lin Miaomiao unconscious, then put him in one of the toilet spaces, and finally fix the door of the toilet, hang it up for cleaning, or repair it, so that you can It's easy to hide the past."
Jiang Chengyan asked questions and said, "But if the child is lost, Lin Fanglu will definitely look for it. She shouldn't ignore the space because of the sign on the door."
"She can't, but she can't open the door of the compartment. When she wants to come, she can't open it, and Lin Miaomiao, a child, certainly can't open it, and she must have shouted at that time, but she didn't hear Lin Miao. Wonderful response, under such circumstances, normal people would give up that cubicle and go to other places in the mall to find it."
"As far as we know, after Lin Miaomiao was lost, Lin Fanglu went to watch the surveillance video, so she must know that Lin Miaomiao never left the bathroom since she went in, so she will definitely look for it again, so she will definitely not leave the bathroom. That compartment will be missed."
"Team Jiang, the probe to which the surveillance video you retrieved belongs should not be installed at the door of the bathroom."
Jiang Chengyan shook his head and said, "No, that surveillance probe can only photograph the exit of the corridor leading to the toilet."
"So if after the accident, when Lin Fanglu left the toilet, the cleaners blocked customers from entering, and then transferred Lin Miaomiao to the men's toilet, or put her clothes in something, and finally restored everything to normal, then Lin Fanglu would come back and try again. Look, you won't find anything."
"Then how did the murderer determine which toilet Lin Fanglu went to?"
"As long as you follow Lin Fanglu all the time, it doesn't matter which toilet she goes to."
"What if the toilet they go to has a cleaner? After all, everyone has their own work area."
"The premise is that she is a cleaner in Hwaseong Mall, and if she deliberately has a good relationship with others, she only needs to find a reason to pay for the cleaners on duty there."
"That… "
Jiang Chengyan wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Ling Huaan, and said helplessly, "Team Jiang, I just made an assumption. What is the next step, and what specific method should be used, it is up to Team Jiang to investigate."
Jiang Chengyan touched his nose embarrassingly, and said, "Well, I'll go to work in a while."
A smile flashed in Ling Huaan's eyes, and he said, "Team Jiang, what time is it now?"
"Eight o'clock, what's wrong?"
"Why didn't you sleep in bed last night?"
Jiang Chengyan was startled, obviously not adapting to the speed at which Ling Huaan changed the topic, and said, "The case has not progressed for a long time, and you are lying on the hospital bed again. I can't hold it..."
Although Jiang Chengyan didn't finish speaking, Ling Huaan understood what he meant. He stretched out his arms and looked at Jiang Chengyan's direction gently. Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan's nose became sour, he stepped forward and hugged Ling Huaan. This solid feeling really made him infatuated, but he was extremely afraid of losing it.
Feeling Jiang Chengyan's tightening strength, Ling Huaan comforted her in pain: "Team Jiang, I'm here, don't be afraid."
The short words made Jiang Chengyan's eyes red again. He leaned on Ling Huaan's shoulder and said, "Huaan, I really can't lose you, I will be fine in the future, okay?"
"Okay. I promise you, I will grow old with you, and walk behind you even if I leave."
Ling Huaan deeply understands that death is not scary, what is scary is losing loved ones and living alone in this world.
