The next day, Yan Zheng went to Lao Yu's store to collect the rent with the lease renewal contract, and grabbed a free breakfast on the way.

Wandering to the company, he walked into the door of Xinchuang Building and attracted everyone's attention. The news about Yan Zheng's solution to the problem of Vision Software Company spread. The whole building may not know what is in Vision Company, and there are rumors about Vision Software.

But I didn’t hear much.

Everyone was very curious about the master who could solve the "problems" of the Vision Company. Yan Zheng failed to gain a lot of fans, and what he got was more awe and alienation. There was also some fear mixed in the awe-inspiring eyes.

All the fearful looks came from the security group.

Yan Zheng's bad deeds spread among the security guards. Perhaps the employees working in the building didn't know Yan Zheng's true identity, but the three security guards on night shift knew very well. In their eyes, Yan Zheng was no less than a villain in human skin.

Damn, I already have the intention to resign.

Yan Zheng walked towards the elevator and everyone moved out of his way. Yan Zheng got into the unoccupied elevator in the awed eyes of all the people.

Standing alone in the elevator, Yan Zheng couldn't help but wonder whether he was isolated.

When he walked into the company, Xiao Cao greeted Yan Zheng across the screen. After Yan Zheng responded with a few words, Xiao Cao couldn't wait to continue his career in programming.

Zheng found a computer by the window and opened it alone. The company had been vacant for a long time, but the computer seemed to be in good condition. It booted quickly and there was no lag. It seemed that Xiao Cao continued to maintain the computer after becoming a ghost.

There is no doubt that Xiao Cao truly loves the company.

At this moment, Yan Zheng felt that recruiting ghosts as employees seemed not a bad idea. They felt comfortable working without being paid. There were no such long-term workers in the evil old society.

After turning on the computer, Yan Zheng began to search the Internet for news about recent missing persons.

The last two sentences of the third mission are very clear. People who want to go home can't find their way home... There may be something to gain from searching for missing persons.

Not to mention that Yan Zheng actually found several pieces of news about missing persons. From the day he encountered a ghost on July 15th, four people disappeared in just a few days.

The coincidence is still related to my joining the company. Could it be that the company activated some evil spirit in order to issue tasks for me?

The more Yan Zheng thought about it, the more likely it became that he could do anything with the company's style. When he thought about innocent people being harmed because of him, Yan Zheng became anxious and hurriedly explained a few words to Xiao Cao before leaving the company.

According to the missing person information on the Internet, Yan Zheng found that three of the four missing people disappeared near bars, night markets and other late-night business places.

Yan Zheng focused his search on places near night businesses.

In the evening, Yan Zheng wandered around the nightclub where people disappeared, wandering around with the mentality of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. Yan Zheng did not have any investigative experience, and vaguely remembered where he had read that the murderers of serial murders must be logical, and some perverted murderers

He is so confident that he will continue to commit crimes in the same place to provoke the police.

Yan Zheng believes that there may be some similarities between the evil done by ghosts and the crimes committed by murderers. In terms of confidence level, ghosts can escape people all over the street. Maybe the evil taxi ghosts will continue to commit crimes in familiar places.

From eight or nine in the evening to four or five in the morning, Yan Zheng gained nothing.

After returning home, Yan Zheng did not rush to sleep but found a map of Jishui City to mark the missing locations of the four people.

Night bar, 3S Internet cafe, night market, Luyan community.

Of the four missing locations, the bar is the closest to the 3S Internet Cafe. They are about three kilometers apart. Go straight for two kilometers along the road in front of the bar. You will then turn a corner and walk one kilometer to the 3S Internet Cafe. The night market is about ten kilometers away from the bar in the northeast of Jishui City.

kilometers, the farthest one is Luyan Community, which is at the urban-rural junction in the north of Jishui City. A few kilometers further north from Luyan Community, you will be out of the urban area.

The four locations outlined with a pen on the map cannot form any geometric figures, and there is no pattern at all. The commonly used investigation methods, criminal psychological speculation, are obviously not applicable to ghosts.

So what is the motive of the ghost?

The only thing that can connect the four missing people is the time of their disappearance. They all disappeared after 11:30 at night.

Except for the time of disappearance, Yan Zheng could not find any other similarities.

Yan Zheng did not give up searching for clues.

After wandering around for two days with no results, Yan Zheng felt that this blind search was not an option, so he began to pretend to be a victim to lure the snake out of its hole. At first, Yan Zheng kept his cat in the bar, but after 12 o'clock, the cat pretended to be a drunkard and wandered around the deserted streets in the bar.

, there is no gain in staring at every taxi that happens to pass by.

Later, Yan Zheng moved his position to the night market, and the people in the night market were even more complicated. Yan Zheng couldn't even determine what kind of person the missing person was, so he had to dress up as a drunkard again. After wandering around for two days, he still found nothing.

In the Internet cafe, Luyan Community, Yan Zheng used the same method to pretend to be a passerby who got off the plane and left the Internet cafe late at night, and a passerby who went home late at night, but still gained nothing.

Just because Yan Zheng didn't gain anything doesn't mean the taxi didn't commit the crime.

Time flies and September 10th arrives.

In the ten days that Yan Zheng was tracking the taxi, five more people disappeared in the urban area. Adding the four people who disappeared before, the number has reached nine. In every city, hundreds of thousands of people accidentally disappear every year. A single trend

It won't attract anyone's attention.

But such a series of missing people in a short period of time caused quite a panic in Jishui City.

Yan Zheng ignored an issue. Reporting a missing person is not confirmed on the spot. It takes a while to determine whether the person is missing. A missing person is usually filed after 48 hours of absence. As long as it is the time when he should come back, he does not come back. There is no news,

You have the conditions to call the police, that is to say, you can report the case as soon as you are found missing. If you file a case, it will usually be missing for 48 hours.

The missing people were confirmed missing after the police received reports one after another and failed to contact them for more than 48 hours. Several migrant workers among them had no relatives and reported the case only after the company found out that they had not come to work a few days after they disappeared.

Only then did the police realize the seriousness of the situation. The few missing persons identified were only the tip of the iceberg, and there were many more missing persons who had not yet surfaced.

After realizing that something unusual happened, the police immediately issued a social announcement, which was widely reported in the news. The police offered a high reward. For a time, the whole city was discussing the missing persons incident.

This was the news that Yan Zheng saw the nine missing people. At this time, Yan Zheng did not know that the number of missing people was far more than nine. As for how many people were missing, the police had not yet fully counted them.

Rumors spread all over Jishui City because of this incident, and people were panicked.

They say anything, some say he is a perverted murderer, some say he is a human trafficker... After being knocked unconscious, he is put on a ship and sent to Africa to work as a miner.

No one has linked the missing persons to the ghosts.

Subsequently, the police also released the last surveillance footage of the missing persons and found that they had all boarded the same taxi before disappearing. The mysterious thing was that the taxi could not be traced. After checking the license plate number, it was found that the license plate number of the car belonged to a recycled one.

The license plate number has not yet been put back into the system.

The vehicle management office will recycle scrapped vehicles or license plate numbers that are not used by car owners and then re-release them. The license plate of this vehicle is one of the recycled license plates.

Previously, the license plate belonged to the Jishui Golden Taxi Company. The company planned to replace the old cars with new energy vehicles and scrap them. The old license plates were useless, so they did not choose to transfer the ownership and keep the old license plates.

The vehicle's license plate number A53174 was sent to the scrap station along with the scrapped vehicle. The vehicle's destroyed license plate number was recovered by the vehicle administration.

The vehicle had been destroyed long ago, and the police traced it to the scrapped vehicle management office and lost the clue.

The last clue was broken, making the case even more confusing.

The police had no choice but to increase the amount of the reward and prepare to rely on the power of the masses to make the criminals invisible in the sea of ​​people. At the same time, they also reminded everyone not to travel alone late at night, and to be careful and check the license plate carefully when taking a taxi.

After several people disappeared, the reward amount for the taxi has increased to 500,000.

There will be a reward of 500,000 yuan for catching the taxi driver and a reward of 100,000 yuan for providing relevant information about the taxi.

The public has little confidence in fighting criminals, but the risk-free task of providing information attracts many idle people.

When Yan Zheng set out again to look for a taxi on the night of the 11th, he found many like-minded people.

There were two or three social workers in the dark and deserted alley, and Yan Zheng was a little bit dumbfounded. Their appearance made Yan Zheng's search more difficult.

In the middle of the night, Yan Zheng met a young man who came to borrow a fire. The young man came to Yan Zheng and said that he didn't smoke and had no fire. The young man did not leave but started chatting with Yan Zheng eagerly.

During the conversation, Yan Zheng learned that the young man's name was Zhou Guochang, who was from Yanbei. He was nineteen years old and worked in a barber shop.

I came to Jishui to work and look for a girlfriend.

A year ago, his girlfriend ran away to Jishui because she felt poor in her hometown. At first, they had contact with each other, but later she dumped Xiao Zhou after meeting her girlfriend who was a slut in the big city, and they lost contact from then on.

Angry, Zhou Guochang then chased him to Jishui, working part-time while looking for his girlfriend. Many people in Yanbei had a cheerful personality and were gifted with jokes.

Not long after the two chatted, Zhou Guochang started calling Yan Ge, and he called Yan Ge. Zhou Guochang let himself go completely and started to brag to Yan Zheng about what he would do if he had money. If he met a taxi driver, he would fight with three punches and two punches.

The murderer was subdued with his feet.

After receiving the bonus of 500,000 yuan, he first bought a BMW and then opened a barber shop. His girlfriend came back crying and knelt down to beg his forgiveness.

When the time comes, he will give his girlfriend a big mouth and tell her to get out... and so on.

The words are vivid and imitated with actions.

This made Yan Zheng burst into laughter, and the two of them bragged and harangued until four o'clock, then left each other's contact information and went home.

Before Xiao Zhou left, he didn't forget to tell Yan Zheng to come to him for haircuts in the future. He would definitely give Yan Zheng the most handsome haircut that would captivate all the little girls when he walked on the street.

After the two parted ways, Yan Zheng returned home and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already evening. After dinner, Yan Zheng watched TV to kill time.

There was the evening news at nine o'clock. During the past few days of chasing the taxi, Yan Zheng habitually watched the evening news to see if there were any latest missing persons reports.

As expected, someone was missing in the news report that night.

The missing person Yan Zheng knew, it was Xiao Zhou who had not been separated for a long time!

Yan Zheng was extremely surprised. He and Xiao Zhou spent most of the night last night. If there were any signs, he should be able to detect them.

But he didn't realize that the taxi driver chose his target randomly?

The information revealed in the mission content shows that the targets selected by the taxi are similar.

Their characteristics will be the key to breaking the game.

What exactly is it...

Yan Zheng began to carefully recall Zhou Guochang's words and deeds last night, and found that there was nothing special about him, except that he loved to brag. It would be far-fetched to say that Xiao Zhou was targeted because of his bragging. There were many braggars across the country.

Another characteristic is that if you don’t have a girlfriend, you are not guilty of being single. You are single. If being single is your goal, why didn’t you look for yourself when they were together that night?

The key point... is where.

Yan Zheng wanted to pull back his hair anxiously. He couldn't find any clues about the person who disappeared under his nose. What did it mean that the driver of the ghost car deliberately avoided him?

While thinking hard, Yan Zheng suddenly remembered that the two had left each other's contact information, and quickly dialed Xiao Zhou's number.

I can get through the phone but no one answers.

The news then played the surveillance footage of Xiao Zhou's last disappearance. Due to the night, the footage was not very clear. It was blurry and we could see that Xiao Zhou got into a taxi. When the taxi left, the surveillance camera captured the taxi's license plate A53174.

.

Hiss~ Yan Zheng couldn't help but take a breath. In the surveillance screen, he saw Xiao Zhou's face showing a happy smile when he opened the door and got in the car.

Xiao Zhou is going to sit on the passenger side of the car. The road is East-West Road. Xiao Zhou is on the south side of the road. The taxi stops on the south side of the road from east to west. If Xiao Zhou wants to sit on the passenger side, he needs to detour to the other side of the car.

The door was facing the monitor. After opening the door, Xiao Zhou didn't rush to get in the car. He held on to the roof and talked to the driver. I didn't know what the taxi driver said. Xiao Zhou got into the taxi with a face full of joy.

Usually when we take a taxi, we will get in the car first and then tell the taxi driver the location, or open the door and ask if we want to go to XX place. If the driver doesn't answer, he will close the door and wait for the next one.

Since Jishui City introduced the rule that taxis cannot refuse rides, this phenomenon has basically ceased to exist.

Even if there was a problem with Xiao Zhou communicating with the taxi driver about where to go, Xiao Zhou should not show that ecstatic smile after the discussion.

The video footage played on the news was limited and Yan Zheng could not see everything.

If there is a complete video, maybe we can find out the traces of the ghost car.

After thinking about the video, Yan Zheng thought of Xiao Cao.
Chapter completed!
