Qin Xiujuan is a distant relative of Qin Xiong. Earlier, she worked as a farmer in Shichao Township, where Qin's hometown is located. Later, Qin Xiong's shop became a toss, and she came to Dongye City and found a job in the shop.
Because she came early, she was considered a "senior", and other waiters in the store called her "Sister Qin".
When she was young, Sister Qin was a tyrant in the township of Batou. She did not restrain her temper when she entered the city. She served dishes and served as a security guard in "Baby Shrimp". There are many drunk people in food stalls, and people often make trouble. After calling the police, it takes time for the police to arrive, so Sister Qin copied a stick to maintain order.
But at Qin's house that day, after witnessing the tragic situation in the living room, Sister Qin lost her momentum and was sent directly to the hospital.
Until now, Sister Qin has not recovered.
"Qin Ying..." Facing Mingshu, Sister Qin looked very dazed and moved crampedly on the hospital bed, "I seem to have heard of such a person, but I have never seen him before."
Mingshu said: "I heard? Who said it? How did you say it?"
Sister Qin clenched the quilt and said, "It's Qin Xiong's house. Hey, our Qin family in Shichao Township, Qin Anqiang, Qin Xiong's father, has the ability to break into the city at a young age. Qin Xiong was there. Born in the city. Qin Ying is Qin Xiong's younger brother, a hero, Qin Xiong's father really knows how to name him!"
Mingshu asked: "What you heard is that this Qin Ying is Qin Xiong's younger brother?"
"Why not?" Big Sister Qin thought without hesitation, "Isn't it a kiss? Did you pick it up? Back then, everyone's life was not easy, and they couldn't support their own children. How could they pick up other people's children? Strange."
Mingshu asked again: "Huh? What's strange?"
Sister Qin frowned and thought for a long time, "It seems that no one in our hometown has seen this Qin Ying, we just heard about it. Later, I heard that this Qin Ying is gone. When I and a few other relatives get to the city , In my impression, Xiongzi and his daughter-in-law never mentioned Qin Ying, as if there was no such person."
Mingshu said, "Have you mentioned Qin Ying to Qin Xionghuanghui on your own initiative?"
Sister Qin waved her hand, "I'm not blind, they don't mention it themselves, they just don't want to mention it. I'm a part-time worker, no one can, boss, right?"
Longcheng Road Police Station.
Liu Qin is an old policeman who has been rooted in the grassroots for most of his life and will retire next year.
21 years ago, in the year when Qin Ke was born and Qin Ying disappeared, Liu Qin was already working as a police officer on Longcheng Road. But he had no impression of someone missing from the Qin family.
There was no electronic file for the case at that time, and now we have to go back to investigate, all relying on the memory of the police and the paper records kept. Liu Qin turned over the record in front of Mingshu, "I'm not boasting, my old Liu's ability to handle cases is not good, and I can't compare with you elites in the city bureau, but my memory is not ordinary! Maybe I don't remember as well as my brain!"
Liu Qin smiled and nodded his temple, "How long I have been a policeman here, I remember how many things happened here!"
After Mingshu finished reading the information, it was indeed as Liu Qin said that there was no record of the Qin family reporting the case.
"Then do you have any impression of Qin Xiong's younger brother Qin Ying?" Mingshu asked.
Liu Qin thought for a while and shook his head, "How many people live in Longcheng Street? Law-abiding citizens, I don't need to remember them. I can only remember the case and those who may endanger the safety of the community."
Mingshu found another old policeman. The other party's statement was consistent with Liu Qin's - the Qin family had never reported the case to the police station about the disappearance of someone in the family.
"My father is the only child, where did my uncle come from?" Qin Xu said disdainfully, "Don't you find someone who killed my whole family, and make up a non-existent person to frame the blame?"
Mingshu sneered, "If it's as you said, I can't find the perpetrator, wouldn't it be more convenient to blame you?"
Qin Xu's cheeks twitched, his hands spread out, "Okay, okay, I can't tell you."
"Think again." Mingshu said, "Did you hear the word 'Qin Ying' from Qin Xiong Huanghui's mouth when you were a child?"
Apparently being stunned by Mingshu's eyes, Qin Xu really thought about it.
Half a minute later, Qin Xu still shook his head, "No, and I have never found anything about this person at home."
Although Qin Ying could not be found in the household registration file, and Qin Xu said that he did not know of this person, Qin Ying obviously existed.
Because not only Huang Qing and Sister Qin knew about him, but some old neighbors in the Qin family also confirmed that Qin Xiong did have a younger brother many years ago.
"The Qin family calls him Yingzi. I remember him as a very polite child." Uncle Wang, who was in his seventies, said slowly, "I haven't seen him since, and I also asked Lao Qin—your family Yingzi. Where have you been? Lao Qin said, he went to study abroad."
Mingshu asked Huang Qing again to ask in detail what happened in the Qin family 21 years ago.
"It's just missing!" Huang Qing was very sure. "Others don't know, can I still not know? At that time, my sister and I had a good relationship. She was not happy in Qin's house, so she always complained to me."
Mingshu said, "What does 'unsatisfactory' mean?"
"There are conflicts between my in-laws and my parents. The Qin family is actually from the countryside, but Qin Xiong was born in the city, so they look down on my sister's birth." Huang Qing said, "And Qin Ying, who is it? You don't want to live with your uncle, do you?"
"During the time when Qin Ying was missing, did Huang Hui say anything to you that impressed you?" Mingshu asked.
Huang Qing hesitated for a while, "It's inappropriate for me to say that, but since you police have asked, I'll say it anyway. Qin Ying is lost, my sister is actually very happy. She said that when Qin Ying is gone, it's best to Never come back."
Serious Crime Squad, Deputy Director's Office.
"Qin Ying's disappearance is definitely not easy." Mingshu threw his coat on the table and unbuttoned a shirt, "Not only is he missing, but his 'existence' is very problematic. There is this person in the Qin family, no matter what. Was it born by Qin Xiong's parents, or where did he adopt it? Normally, he should go to the household registration. There was no such thing as family planning at that time. Qin Xiong's parents doted on this young boy so much, why did he make him a black household?"
Xiao Yuan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and placed it in front of Mingshu.
Mingshu took it up and drank it, took a breath after drinking, "I didn't even go to the police station to find out if Qin Ying's situation can be registered, I can only understand that this child is not allowed to see the light, and the Qin family dare not push him. In the sight of the police. But the paradox is that the Qin family did not completely hide Qin Ying. Those old neighbors said that Qin Ying often came out to play with her peers. "
Xiao Yu'an said: "Qin Ying didn't study or work, and he was underage when he disappeared. This is the information we currently know. But his specific age and appearance cannot be determined."
"21 years ago, if someone in the family went missing, would ordinary people know to call the police?" Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yu'an.
"Even if you don't know how to call the police when the incident first happened, after four or five days, you will know to ask the police for help after being reminded by the people around you." Xiao Yu'an said: "This is the strange place. The Qin family neither called the police nor asked the surrounding Our neighbors ask for help. Since Qin Ying is the beloved youngest son of the Qin family, this situation cannot happen. Even if the Qin family dares not call the police due to some unknown situation, they should always seek help from the neighbors. Help. But none of the old neighbors remembered that such a big incident happened in the Qin family back then, and afterward, Qin Xiong's father actually told the neighbors that Qin Ying went to study abroad. "
Mingshu said, "Is it necessary for Huang Qing to lie?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "We don't know for the time being whether she has to lie about this matter. But thinking backwards, if Huang Qing lied, Qin Ying did not disappear, but really went to study abroad. where are you now?"
Mingshu understood, "I understand. What Huang Qing said is the truth, at least what she learned from Huang Hui. Qin Ying is such an identity - exists, but dare not really exist; disappears, but has to let Outsiders thought it was normal to leave. Now, no matter why the Qin family did not dare to register Qin Ying, I can almost conclude that it was caused by Qin Xiong as far as the disappearance is concerned."
Xiao Yuan said: "And the Qin family's parents knew what the eldest son did to the younger son. In order to protect the remaining eldest son, or at the request of the eldest son, they neither dared to call the police to find Qin Ying, nor dare to tell the police. The truth of the neighbors. As for Huang Hui, she dared to tell Huang Qing that Qin Ying was missing, indicating that she did not know about it at least at the time."
Mingshu said: "In the current Qin family, there is no trace of Qin Ying, not even a photo, Qin Xiong Huanghui never mentions Qin Ying to outsiders, and their son Qin Xu doesn't even know Qin Ying's identity. Exist. Because they don't dare. Qin Ying, the more cleanly he disappears, the better."
Xiao Yuan tapped his index finger on the edge of the table a few times, "So the conclusion is that 21 years ago, Qin Xiong killed Qin Ying, the Qin family's parents were insiders, Huang Hui was pregnant at the time, and probably didn't know anything, but later even if Qin Xiong doesn't say it, she should have guessed the whole story."
"Let me make a bold guess." Mingshu said: "Huang Qing said that he and Huang Hui had been on good terms since childhood. Later, when Huang Hui had a good life, he unilaterally distanced himself from her because he disliked her poor relative. Although this makes sense. , but Huang Hui was so eager and straightforward, maybe he had already learned the truth of Qin Ying's disappearance from Qin Xiong's mouth. She was frightened because she took the initiative to tell Huang Qing that 'Qin Ying was missing'. What she said could not be taken back. , she doesn't dare to treat her biological sister like Qin Xiong treats Qin Ying, so the only thing she can do is to separate her from her life circle and stop interacting with her."
Mingshu paused for a while, then said, "This is always the shadow that hangs over her head, and now, it is indeed Huang Qing who has provided us with key information - Qin Ying disappeared 21 years ago."
Xiao Yu'an said: "The Qin family's parents died one after another in less than two years, which is also a doubt."
Mingshu raised his right eyebrow, "Qin Xiong killed a relative?"
"If Qin Ying was killed by him, and his parents knew this." Xiao Yu'an said, "then it is indeed possible for him to 'solve' his parents in the fear and suffering day after day. Also, Qin Xiong needs money to do his food business. Qin Ke has been born and is a father. Of course, he also wants to create a better living environment for his daughter. At this time, if there are no parents, the house and money belong to him. His secrets will also be carried to the grave by his parents."
Ming Shu frowned, feeling a chill.
Qin Xiong, Huang Hui, Qin Ke, and Yu Xiaohai each had their own tragic deaths. The most tragic were Qin Xiong and Huang Hui, and Yu Xiaohai was probably implicated.
Except for Yu Xiaohai, the other three victims are all related to Qin Ying.
Under the premise that "Qin Xiong killed Qin Ying 21 years ago", Qin Xiong is the murderer, and his wife Huang Hui is a helper. As for Qin Ke, although Qin Ke was not yet born, Huang Hui had The fact of being pregnant made Qin Xiong firm in his heart to let Qin Ying disappear.
In this way, the case seems to have cleared a layer of cloud and became a little clearer.
The murderer is seeking revenge for Qin Ying, and TA's series of corpse abuses are all venting his anger.
"But there is still a problem." Mingshu said, "The murderer avenged Qin Ying. Who was the murderer? How did the murderer know the truth of the year? Also, as we discussed last time, Huang Hui gave Qin Ke, Qin Xu called and asked the two to go home. It was probably about money, and maybe it was because of the murderer. From the analysis of the existing clues, Qin Xu was unwilling to go home, and the murderer did not matter. Anyway, Qin Xu was not a TA. Qin Ke was the target, Qin Ke had to go home, and Huang Hui used a certain way to get Qin Ke back. Huang Hui would have listened to the murderer too much."
"The information we have about Qin Ying is too thin now, and we can't pull out a person who may avenge him." Xiao Yu'an said: "But I still have an idea."
Mingshu asked, "What?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "Our inference just now is based on Qin Ying's death, but what if he is not dead?"
Mingshu's eyes deepened, and he said slowly, "What do you mean..."
"Qin Xiong made Qin Ying disappear in a certain way back then. Of course, what he most wanted to see was Qin Ying disappearing forever, but Qin Ying did not die." Xiao Yuan said: "From Qin Ying's point of view, he hates Qin Ying the most. what is it?"
"Qin Ying's point of view, Qin Ying's point of view..." Mingshu paced repeatedly, and suddenly stopped: "If I were Qin Ying, then Qin Xiong wanted me to die, and killing me would be the next best thing, he killed my Parents are the most unforgivable things!"
Xiao Yuan said: "Yes, in Qin Ying's opinion, the death of his parents has nothing to do with Qin Xiong."
"So he wants to come back for revenge." Mingshu said, "His own revenge, together with his parents' revenge!"
After a moment of silence in the conference room, Xiao Yuan got up and said, "But this is just an inference we made based on the clues. At most, it can give the follow-up investigator a direction. The most important thing is the evidence. But the difficulty is that Qin Ying doesn't matter whether he is dead or not. Whether he is still alive or not, he is a black householder, and the people who knew him best have all died. It is very difficult to investigate the interpersonal relationship of a black householder who has been missing for 21 years."
Mingshu raised his neck slightly and said calmly, "It's right to have a direction. What I'm most afraid of is not the difficulty, but the lack of direction."
Xiao Yu'an laughed, "The mentality is good. It's fine for you to control the overall situation in this case, but please note that our so-called 'direction' is not the only direction. The interpersonal investigation around the four victims cannot be relaxed."
Mingshu stood up straight, his shirt and police pants made him look very tall.
"Yes!"
Dongcheng Branch, Female Police Squadron of Criminal Investigation Detachment.
After intensive investigation, a person entered the police's field of vision.
Hong Chuanfei, 34 years old, runs a stewed restaurant called "Hong Luwei" in Huyong Street, Xicheng District. The store is on the first floor of a residential building and is not large. Although there are dining tables and chairs, there are very few dine-in customers.
The Braised Restaurant was not opened by Hong Chuanfei himself, but was taken over from his father.
Lao Hong has been a cook all his life. He used to be a chef in a restaurant. Later, after the self-employment opened, he quit his job and started small business at home.
"Hong Luwei" has been in existence for nearly 20 years. It is not a great restaurant, and it is aimed at the residents who live nearby. Lao Hong has a gentle personality and doesn't have much sense of competition. Until his death from illness, he was very satisfied with this restaurant that spent half his life's efforts.
Two years ago, Lao Hong passed away, and the head of "Hong Luwei" became Hong Chuanfei.
Hong Chuanfei is the only son of Lao Hong, and his education is not high. Before taking over "Hong Luwei", he worked as a freight driver and sold spicy skewers in the street, but he didn't make any money.
Lao Hong taught Hong Chuanfei the skill of making braised dishes. Before Lao Hong passed away, Hong Chuanfei was already the chef of "Hong Luwei". The guests did not have any resistance to the change of the chef. The business of "Hong Luwei" did not plummet, but it did not improve.
A few months ago, there was a "Li Feichang" in the unit building opposite "Hong Luwei". The owner was a man in his thirties with a weak boy.
"Li Feichang" mainly sells fat intestines, but it also sells lo-mei. This is similar to "Hong Luwei" - "Hong Luwei" not only sells stewed vegetables, but also has fat sausages on the menu.
The two are located in the same residential area, with the same positioning and similar dishes. The only difference is that the main dishes are different.
When "Li Feichang" first started to operate, Hong Chuanfei was very anxious, for fear that his business would be robbed by "Li Feichang".
Different from Lao Hong who has an attitude of "indisputable", Hong Chuanfei wants to make "Hong Luwei" bigger and stronger. He is young and has a wide range of ideas. He knows that the competition in the catering industry is very fierce now, and it is no longer the era of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys" in the past. If you want to develop, you must take the initiative to attack.
So, he spent money to promote it on the food delivery platform, and personally posted on Weibo and the same city forum to promote his own braised vegetables, but with little success.
Mobile TV stations and radio stations in Dongye City have special programs recommending local delicacies, and every year they evaluate the "Top 50 Roast Meat" and "Top 100 Pasta". The selected store will hang the number of strong certificates at the door, and people passing by will be interested in it and try it.
Hong Chuanfei went to inquire about these programs. The content of these programs is extremely high. Many of them are the stores opened by the eight aunts and seven aunts of Taili employees, or they have put money into Taili. , but less.
Hong Chuanfei has no "relationship", and if he wants to be featured on the show, he can only plug in money. But plugging money has to be ranked first. He tried several times and failed.
In addition to official programs, Dongye City also has some personal social accounts dedicated to recommending food and beauty. Because of the characteristics of bloggers or the characteristics of the things they share, these personal accounts have long surpassed the influence of official programs.
For example, the "Qiushan Sleepy Sleep" that has become popular in many small restaurants.
Hong Chuanfei dreamed that "Qiushan Insomnia" could one day come to his "Hong Lu Cai" to taste it, and then make a video.
He has confidence in his cooking skills. As long as "Qiu Shan Sleeping Sleep" is willing to come, he will definitely be able to impress him, and then customers will come to "Hong Lu Cai" continuously, and his father's small shop will be carried forward in his hands, maybe It can achieve the scale of "Baby Shrimp" in Nancheng District!
It is said that "Baby Shrimp" was originally an inconspicuous small shop, but it has its current status because the competition was not fierce back then.
In order to make "Qiushan Sleepless" come to "Hong Lucai", Hong Chuanfei thought of a lot of ways, such as registering different accounts, and constantly recommending "Hong Lucai" as a foodie in "Qiushan Sleepless" videos and Weibo, trying his best to Can brush the sense of existence.
But I don't know why, "Qiu Shan Sleepless" never paid attention to him.
Two months ago, "Qiushan Sleepless" released a new tasting video. As soon as Hong Chuanfei saw the three words on the title, he immediately cursed.
"Qiushan Sleepless" actually went to "Li Feichang"!
"We have completed our visit to Huyong Street. The owner of 'Li Feichang' is not actually Li, his real name is Luo Ganfeng. He is an excellent cook. Before Qiu Min's video was released, his family's business was good. After the video was released, many Customers flocked to 'Li Feichang', Luo Ganfeng was unprepared, couldn't handle it, and closed the store for a few days." Shen Lan said, "Qiu Min went down on the premise of not informing Luo Ganfeng. Just like the other customers, they bought food and left. Before the video was broadcast, Luo Ganfeng didn't even know that there was a big man in his store."
Lan Qiao nodded, "It's Qiu Min's style. It can be seen from the videos he's released over the past few years. As long as it's not a commercial promotion that collects money, he basically looks at this kind of small shop hidden in the streets."
"Among Qiu Min's 'Amway' store, 'Li Feichang' is the least popular one. The owner, Luo Ganfeng, doesn't seem to want his store to attract too much attention. He also said that if he knew that 'Qiushan Sleepless' would make his video, When I asked the reason, Luo Ganfeng didn't say it clearly, but he asked me if I knew the captain Ming Shuming of the city bureau." Shen Lan continued: "He explained that the team knows him, and if we have anything about him If you have any questions, you can ask the Ming team.”
Lan Qiao thought for a while, "'Li Feichang' is not popular, it's just a comparison with other small shops in Qiu Min's video, this has something to do with Luo Ganfeng's own attitude. But compared with 'Hong Lucai', it has basically been compared to 'Hong Lucai'. The sauerkraut' was crowded to the point where no guests could be welcomed."
Shen Lan said: "Yes, at the beginning of this month, Hong Chuanfei had already closed the store."
Lan Qiao stared at the surveillance video, and there was Hong Chuanfei on every screen.
On October 4th, before Qiu Min stopped updating Weibo, Hong Chuanfei came to the "Show Paradise" community where Qiu Min was located many times, looking nervous and strange, as if he was stepping on a spot. Among them, at 11 pm on October 2, Qiu Min returned home late at night, and Hong Chuanfei even followed him into the unit building. Judging from the surveillance footage, Qiu Min didn't seem to know that he was being followed until he took out the key to open the door and didn't look back.
Hong Chuanfei was very drunk at home. When Shen Lan pulled him up and said the word "Qiu Min", Hong Chuanfei's eyes suddenly became fixed, and then he gritted his teeth and roared: "He is dead! He is already dead! "
