Chapter 25: hat trick

After knowing the news, Xu Yalan breathed a sigh of relief.

By that evening, Dad's expression had eased a little.

The worry on Liu Yang's father's face almost became real, but he didn't dare to bring bad luck to his father, so he could only suppress his emotions and pretend nothing happened.

The forensic chief added: "Three sets of fingerprints were found at the scene."

"Liu Yang's fingerprints are more numerous and distributed over a wider area. The fingerprints from Yingtai are fewer and overlap with Liu Yang's."

"That person has the fewest fingerprints left, and there are only a few complete ones."

"I thought it would take some time to find it. Surprisingly, it was a fingerprint we recently collected."

The only people included recently are those related to the Liu Yang case.

A name suddenly appeared in Lin Dapeng's mind.

Sure enough, the next second, the forensic chief said, "It's Jiang Xing's."

It's also strange that the police wanted to summon Jiang Xing, but Jiang Xing also disappeared.

Just this afternoon, Jiang Xing's mother went to the local police station to report that her son had been missing for at least three days.

Jiang Xing comes from a single-parent family and currently lives with his mother.

He seldom goes out, stays in his room all day, and rarely communicates with his family, like an invisible man.

Recently his grandmother fell ill and was hospitalized. His mother was busy taking care of her, running between her workplace and the hospital. She would fall asleep as soon as she got home and had no energy to take care of him.

Just this morning, Jiang's mother discovered that there were more flies in the house.

This phenomenon is very strange in early winter.

She realized something was wrong and looked in the direction where the flies were gathering. She first saw a black mass and felt nauseous to death.

When she looked closer, she saw that under the pile of flies was the dinner she had made for her son three days ago.

It's a pot of cooked chicken soup.

The soup was sent to the hospital for grandma to drink, and the chicken legs and chicken were left for Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing's mother didn't know her son was missing at this time. She just thought he was wasting food, so she went to find someone to settle the score angrily.

On weekdays, Jiang Xing's room door was always locked, whether he was at home or out, but today, his door was ajar and Jiang's mother pushed it open easily.

Jiang Xing is not here.

Mother Jiang asked the neighbors and found out that no one had seen him for a long time.

Officer Lu said, "This case was transferred to our criminal investigation department this afternoon. We were not there at the time."

Xu Yalan eavesdropped on their conversation and shouted in a sharp voice: "It was Xiang Xiaoyuan. It must be that bitch Xiang Xiaoyuan who ordered Jiang Xing!"

It's already one o'clock in the morning. Lin Dapeng has been busy all day and his head hurts from her shouting.

He signaled the female police officer to take Xu Yalan away, and said to Officer Lu: "Tomorrow we will split into two groups. You lead the team to Ying Zhiwan's home to look for any clues that have been missed."

"I'll go to the Jiang family to check on this guy."

Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan live in an apartment, which was bought by Qin Guan as an investment. It is very close to Youxian Reading Newspaper, only a 5-minute walk away.

They decorated the house themselves, so even though he hadn't been back for more than a year, Lin Jiaqiao didn't feel unfamiliar with the place.

When Lin Jiaqiao came in, Qin Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He loosened his tie and muttered quietly, "I thought you were still angry."

Lin Jiaqiao was changing shoes beside him and raised his head suspiciously: "Why am I angry?"

Qin Guan looked at her proudly, "Because you made me angry, and I was angry with you, so you were angry with me."

Lin Jiaqiao:

"Impossible." Lin Jiaqiao said firmly, "My brain can't handle such a complicated thing."

Qin Guan obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He put her bag away and said, "Go to bed quickly. If you stay up late, your head will become bald."

Lin Jiaqiao recalled the day when he came back and the man's sarcastic attitude.

Why are you angry

In Lin Jiaqiao's memory, the two rarely quarreled.

Every time they disagreed, Qin Guan would be sarcastic for a while, and he was also the first to compromise.

What on earth happened this time that it has led to the point of a cold war

Just when Lin Jiaqiao wanted to ask clearly, Qin Guan's cell phone rang.

Qin Guan made a gesture and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

The person who called Qin Guan was the daughter of his partner.

Last time he drank too much at the dinner table and soiled the girl's bag, so he compensated her with a new one. That's how they added each other on WeChat.

Qin Guan made it clear that he already had a girlfriend, but the girl didn't care and said that as long as they were not married, everything was possible.

She didn't talk about their relationship, she just told a joke from time to time, or asked Qin Guan to meet her on business matters.

Qin Guan can pretend not to see the joke, but he cannot ignore his work.

The girl noticed that work calls were coming more frequently.

Qin Guan once tactfully complained to his partner, asking him to take good care of his daughter. However, his partner was very satisfied with Qin Guan as his son-in-law, and not only did he not stop him, he also wanted to match him with his daughter.

Qin Guan is almost annoyed to death by this bad love affair, but his legitimate girlfriend Lin Jiaqiao doesn't notice it at all and works all day long.

Qin Guan comforted himself that it was because Lin Jiaqiao trusted him, but he couldn't help thinking that maybe Lin Jiaqiao didn't really care.

They had been together for so long that he couldn't help but occasionally wonder whether Lin Jiaqiao really liked him or was just with him out of habit.

Thinking of this, Qin Guan couldn't help but feel anxious, and he was always tentative when facing Lin Jiaqiao.

Lin Jiaqiao's nerves were thicker than telephone poles, and he didn't notice it at all.

Just like every time he got angry before, she never knew why he was angry.

Qin Guan became even angrier and decided not to forgive her easily this time.

But on Liu Yang's wedding day, when he heard others ridiculing her, he couldn't help but step forward to help.

What did Lin Jiaqiao do wrong, Qin Guan sighed, she just has a bad brain, you have known that since childhood.

The person on the other end of the phone could tell Qin Guan was depressed and was concerned about his private life.

Qin Guan defended himself with an iron wall and immediately turned the topic to official business.

Forget it. With Lin Jiaqiao's brain, it's already amazing that she can handle a thing well. There's no need to let her worry about it.

Thinking of this, Qin Guan couldn't help but applaud himself.

Qin Guan, you are really the best boyfriend in the world. Lin Jiaqiao must have done great deeds in her previous life to be your girlfriend! He couldn't help but look back, wanting to see what Lin Jiaqiao, who had done great deeds in her previous life, was doing.

Lin Jiaqiao, who had done great deeds in his previous life, was smiling.

As soon as the police released the notice, He Youwei and the homepage of "Wei Guan News" exploded.

Some people accused He Youwei of taking advantage of others' misfortune, and some accused her of having no bottom line. The praise they gave her during the day was turned into stones and thrown back at her.

After seeing the contents of her phone, Qin Guan became angry, rolled his eyes, and went to wash up.

When he came out of the bathroom, Lin Jiaqiao had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

She held the phone in her hand with a smile on her face.

Qin Guan picked up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and unlocked her screen with the password.

The screen stopped at a page on a social media app. The He Youwei incident was brewing, and some people were already posting the topic "Wei Guan News, get out of the news industry."

Qin Guan exited the software and searched for Lin Jiaqiao's text messages and other contact information, all of which were work-related.

Qin Guan stared at the phone in a daze for a long time before he wanted to turn it off. He then pointed the camera at himself and took a handsome selfie.

He changed Lin Jiaqiao's wallpaper to his own.

He placed his phone on the coffee table contentedly and planned to carry Lin Jiaqiao back to the bedroom.

But he tried once and found that he couldn't hold her.

Qin Guan was not convinced and tried again, but he only lifted Lin Jiaqiao up ten centimeters and then threw her on the sofa again.

"You must have gained weight!" Qin Guan muttered and rolled up his sleeves, but Lin Jiaqiao had already woken up.

She was a little grumpy when she woke up, so she threw the pillow on Qin Guan's face and stormed back to the bedroom.

Qin Guan touched his nose and turned off the lights in the living room.

He didn't dare to let Lin Jiaqiao lose his temper with him, so he stayed in the living room for a while before returning to the bedroom.

Lin Jiaqiao fell asleep again.

Looking at her sleeping face, Qin Guan couldn't help but feel some revengeful thoughts.

He rolled her blanket up around himself.

But he soon felt distressed.

Just when he wanted to return the quilt, Lin Jiaqiao followed the warmth and went into his arms.

Qin Guan immediately covered her with a quilt and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Although they had tried to conceal it, the news of Liu Yang and Ying Zhiwan's disappearance still leaked out. The Liu family's old popsicle factory became a popular check-in spot. If it weren't for the cordon outside, reporters and curious people would have wanted to break in directly.

At 6:23 in the morning, Lin Dapeng and his team arrived at Jiang Xingjia.

It’s not that they are in a hurry, but it’s Jiang Xing’s mother’s request.

Jiang Xing doesn't have a proper job, and the family expenses all depend on Jiang's mother's salary. In addition, his grandmother was recently hospitalized, and the Jiang family is in great need of money. Jiang's mother dare not take a day off.

She knew that the police were very hard-working, so she suggested leaving the keys to them and letting them check the house themselves. But this was not in compliance with regulations, so Lin Dapeng and his team got up early.

Jiang Xing's family lived in a very old neighborhood. The house was not big, but there were many things in it. The house was already cramped, and when five or six strong men came in, the house was filled to the brim.

Jiang Xing’s room is not big, and the curtains are drawn tightly, so that no light can be seen.

But even in such a small space, he still managed to partition out an even smaller room.

The room looked quite mysterious, with two locks on it, one old-fashioned and one combination lock.

Lin Dapeng asked: "Is it convenient to open it?"

Mother Jiang didn't have a key, so she was also decisive. She found a pair of large pliers from somewhere and directly cut the two locks.

The small room was a darkroom for developing films. There were densely packed photos on the walls. Lin Dapeng got closer and saw that they were all of Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Judging from the background of the photo, it should be from college.

Lin Dapeng was still looking for other clues when his cell phone rang.

It was a video call from Officer Lu.

After pressing the answer button, Lin Dapeng first looked at the corridor outside Ying Zhiwan's house.

Officer Lu held up a small surveillance camera and pointed at the wall opposite the front door of Ying Zhiwan's house: "Master, someone is watching Ying Zhiwan."

At this time, a subordinate said to Lin Dapeng: "Captain, there is a new discovery."

They found an envelope in the darkroom.

There was a note in the envelope with an address on it, asking Jiang Xing to install surveillance.
