Detective Files II

Chapter 235 Missing
Tian Mi was sitting in the back of the car, stealing glances forward from time to time to look at Lu Xiangdong who was sitting in the passenger seat.

From today's meeting to now, he has been so calm, so calm that he can't see any difference from before, so calm that Tian Mi is getting more and more disappointed.

Originally, she thought that after facing that dangerous experience together, the relationship between herself and Lu Xiangdong could take a big step forward, and she might soon be able to pierce the window between the two of them. Zhi, who knew, it turned out that she was so happy for nothing, but Lu Xiangdongfei didn't take a step forward, but gave her a feeling of shrinking back instead.

Thinking about the various possibilities that she often secretly imagined by herself during the Spring Festival, Tian Mi couldn't help but secretly annoyed, why did she think so much, wasted her feelings, had too many hopes, only to feel sorry for them when they failed .

Just because of Wang Chun's words, can I really think that "Tian Mi" is different from Lu Xiangdong?Then again, Wang Chun was also a complete loser in front of Lu Xiangdong, how much could she understand this man.

Forget it, I still don't want to, the more I think about it, the more irritable I get.

Tian Mi shook her head subconsciously, trying to stop herself from thinking about these things, her eyes were fixed on the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and she didn't notice that her subconscious movements were exchanged for an unobtrusive glance of Lu Xiangdong who was sitting in the front row.

The Red Lantern Hotel is located in the outskirts of City C, next to a highway out of the city. Although it is said to be a hotel, it is only found at the destination that it is actually just a small bungalow on the side of a barren road. The red brick house looks like it should be. It has been a few years, and the plastic signboard on it is no different from the common small restaurants on the roadside. The red letter signboard on the green background has faded due to the wind and rain. In addition to the four big characters "Red Lantern", there is also a The portrait of a woman in a jacket with a handkerchief wrapped around her head, the classic "village woman" image, immediately adds a bit of rural flavor to this small restaurant.

There is a flat open space in front of the small bungalow. From the flatness of the land, it can be imagined that there should have been cars parked here in the past.

When Tian Mi and the others arrived, there was no car here, except for the occasional car whizzing by on the road, the only noise was the whistling cold wind.

The door of the small restaurant was closed tightly, and the outside of the window was sealed with film to keep warm, and the dark room could not be seen. Tian Yang stepped forward, pulled the door, and found that it was locked, so he knocked on the door for a long time. No one came to answer the door, so I had to follow the small dirt road next to the house and go around to the back of the house to see what happened.

Soon he came back and shook his head to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong who were waiting in front of the door: "There is a back door, but the door is also locked."

Seeing this, Tian Mi took out her mobile phone and tried to call Wu Liang, the boss of the Red Lantern, but no one answered, so she had to contact the proprietress Gui Xiuqin again, and she got through after dialing three times. Tian Mi, acting very impatient, reluctantly agreed to the request to come to the restaurant, and then hung up the phone hastily.

"It's cold outside, let's wait in the car." Tian Yang suggested.

Neither Tian Mi nor Lu Xiangdong raised any objections, and the three returned to the car, feeling much more comfortable with the warm wind blowing.

"Dr. Lu, what's your opinion on this matter so far?" The three of them sat in silence for a long while and didn't see Gui Xiuqin. They didn't know how far she came from, so Tian Yang looked for a topic to chat with. .

After hearing his question, Lu Xiangdong didn't answer, but turned to Tian Mi and asked her, "What do you say?"

"I don't have a very clear view, because I really don't have a concept of his temporary complete amnesia syndrome. If he gets sick, will he become a person with a very different personality like the legendary split personality? "Tian Mi asked.

Lu Xiangdong shook his head: "I haven't seen any actual medical records other than Nian Yongjun, so I can't answer your question with complete certainty. I can only say that, based on my knowledge, no. Amnesia is the same, its rarity is only reflected in the two aspects of 'temporary' and 'complete', so it will not cause a big change in temperament, but it does not rule out the panic caused by amnesia, which will make a person more defensive .”

"Then I have a question. So far, we have not received any reports. Then you say, if a person with amnesia kills someone by mistake in a panic, will he run away in a panic, or will he clean up carefully?" At the scene, dispose of the corpse?"

Tian Yang listened to Tian Mi's question, and nodded approvingly: "Your question is indeed valuable, and everything depends on whether we can find the body. Didn't you mention it before, although the blood on Nian Yongjun's body It is indeed human blood, but it is not certain that someone was murdered, he has no concept of what he did after the onset of the disease, if we still cannot find enough evidence, then we must consider in the direction of non-homicide."

"However, if it wasn't murder, what would it be? Fighting? If so, unless Nian Yongjun is some kind of hermit with special skills, how could he be unscathed but covered in blood?" Tian Mi looked confused, "Also, Nian Yongjun said that when he woke up and found out what happened to him, he came directly to report the crime, and he didn't wash or deal with the blood stains on his body, so why are his shoes and clothes stained? There is blood, but his hands and face are clean?"

"Hands are easier to explain. It can be speculated that he was wearing gloves at the time, but his face is indeed a bit unreasonable." Tian Yang thought, "It stands to reason that even his neckline has blood spattered, so it doesn't make sense The neck and face will not be stained, if Nian Yongjun washed it before recovering his memory, then why didn't he dispose of his bloody clothes by the way?"

"So, I have doubts about whether Nian Yongjun really killed someone." Tian Mi patted the back of Lu Xiangdong's seat and leaned forward, "What do you think?"

"Anything is possible." Lu Xiangdong's answer seemed to be nonsense.

Tian Mi knows that with his personality, he is unwilling to make a hasty judgment without sufficient evidence to guide him. According to the theory of freaks, making a judgment too early will easily make him fall into the trap of preconceived ideas, thus Create misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi suddenly realized that she had gotten used to his behaviors since she didn't know when, and even used his "fallacies" to weigh her own behavior.

It is said that society is a big dye vat. It seems that Lu Xiangdong is also a living dye vat. I have been with him for a long time, and now I am unconsciously influenced by him.

The three of them were chatting one after another, and after a long time, they saw a dusty car coming towards them from a distance, and it stopped not far from them. After the car stopped, it got off from above. A middle-aged woman.

Tian Mi and the others also got out of the car, and the middle-aged woman sized up the two men and one woman in front of her suspiciously, and instead of coming over, she just stood beside her car and asked, "Did you call me just now? "

Seeing that this person was Gui Xiuqin, Tian Mi nodded, took out her ID, walked over, and handed it to her.

Gui Xiuqin is a thin woman, of medium height, with thin curly hair. Her complexion is a little dark yellow, her eyebrows are thin and picky, and her high cheekbones and thin lips make her His face added a bit of fierceness and savagery.

She didn't accept Tian Mi's ID, she just glanced sideways, frowned, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Nian Yongjun is an employee of your store, right?" Tian Mi asked.

"Yeah, what's the matter? He's dead?" Gui Xiuqin said as she walked to the store door in doubt, pulled the locked door, and immediately cursed. While cursing, she took out a large bunch of keys from her pocket. Open the door, "What's the point of relying on me alone every day?! That dead ghost has gone to someone's house again! The door is not open in broad daylight! There is no need to do business!"

Opening the door, Gui Xiuqin walked in first, and did not greet the three of them, so Tian Mi and the others had no choice but to follow her in.

The small restaurant doesn't look big from the outside, but it's quite spacious inside. There are four or five wooden tables in a hall, some square and some round, all covered with greasy leather tablecloths, and there are two private rooms in the innermost part. , There is a big "kitchen" on the door next to the cashier. Obviously, the "room" has fallen into nowhere.

The small restaurant is well-organized, not messy, but everything seems to be normal.

"What's the matter with Nian Yongjun?" Gui Xiuqin asked casually, walking around behind the bar, opened a tin box of rent money behind it, and stared at the few bills inside, "Why are you so Hurry up!"

"Did Nian Yongjun come to work yesterday?" Tian Mi asked.

While counting the money, Gui Xiuqin humbly agreed: "Here you are, clumsy one, I said a few words and then ran away."

"When did it happen?"

"Morning, what's the matter?"

"Did he come back later?"

"Then I don't know. He didn't come back before I left in the afternoon. If you want to ask about things after I leave, just ask that dead ghost of our family!" Gui Xiuqin said impatiently.

Just as she was talking, her phone rang suddenly. Gui Xiuqin took out her phone and answered, "Hello? Oh, Mr. Dong! Wu Zhida didn't go to class today? I don't know about it, okay, I'll ask later his dad!"

When she hung up the phone, Tian Mi immediately asked, "Is Wu Zhida your and Wu Liang's child? What grade does he go to? Didn't you go to class today?"

"Yeah, I'm in junior high school." Gui Xiuqin looked at Tian Mi suspiciously, a little confused about the purpose of these policemen.

"Did he come to the store yesterday?"

"It should be here, what's the matter with you?"

"Does your husband, Wu Liang, have any other contact methods besides this phone number? Please try to contact him for us." Tian Mi said to her.
