Just like now, as soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, Chen Xiaoyao already mentioned the difficulty with a bitter look on his face, and the difficulty was just like what he just said. The city is too big. It is difficult to investigate a person in a large city.
You know, let alone investigating a missing person who has not been heard from for decades.
"Yes, yes, Brother Chen is right. Although we have made Park Aiying the focus of the investigation, that person has disappeared a long time ago. Maybe she is dead, and others have forgotten her." As the saying goes.
The hero had the same idea. When he saw Taoist Chen taking the lead in complaining and expressing his confusion, Chen Shuihong, who was unwilling to go out to investigate, immediately shook his head and nodded to help. It's a pity...
Zhao Ping didn't speak, and Cheng Ying didn't speak either. No matter how blankly the two Chens complained, the two of them still walked straight to the hotel door with the same expressionless expressions as when they first came downstairs. No one knew where they planned to go.
, only Li Tianheng, who had been engaged in some kind of illegal profession, seemed to understand something and followed behind without saying a word. Seeing that the three of them were all silent, Chen Xiaoyao had no choice but to follow again with Chen Shuihong.
Soon, Zhao Ping walked out of the hotel and came to the outside world. After taking a look at the noisy road with surging traffic, Zhao Ping stopped a large Iveko car.
Let’s not mention why the man with glasses waved his hand to stop the car, but the result was certain. Sure enough, as soon as the car was stopped, the driver’s head poked out of the window.
"Sir, why did you stop my car? My car is not a rental."
First of all, it is certain that the driver is very confused. The reason is just as he said above. His car is not a taxi, but an Iveco that is larger than a taxi. He was the first to explain with confusion on his face. Unexpectedly,
Zhao Ping, however, didn't seem to hear him and didn't answer at all. Instead, he asked the driver a question: "Are you the owner of this car?"
"Nani?"
"Uh, yes, yes, I am the owner of this car, what's wrong?" Faced with the bespectacled man's sudden question, the driver was stunned for a moment, then nodded instinctively with a look of astonishment on his face, and then...
The driver saw the money, a handful of thick US dollars in cash!
"There are thirty thousand dollars here, which is enough to buy two cars of your type. Now you only need to do one thing, that is, get out of the car immediately, and then the money will be yours."
Two minutes later...
Rumble.
Holding a large amount of eye-catching US dollars in cash, the driver stood on the roadside in a daze, staring at the car that originally belonged to him being started by a group of strangers.
At the same time, inside the car.
In front of the driver's seat, Li Tianheng was acting as the driver to start the car, while in the back seat were Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying, and the increasingly confused Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Shuihong. Yes, they witnessed the entire process, from Zhao Ping's initial stop of the car to questioning the driver.
During this period, they took out US dollars to buy a car, and now they got into the car and sat inside. The whole process was watched by the two of them. There is no doubt that Zhao Ping's purpose of buying the car must be to go somewhere, but the two of them did not
I didn’t know exactly where to go until…
"Where are we going?"
It wasn't until Li Tianheng turned back to ask out of caution that Zhao Ping announced the answer after adjusting his suit and tie, and said the destination of the trip in a calm voice: "To the Lichuan City Police Station."
The Lichuan City Police Station is located on Chengxi Street. It is different from the smaller police stations that are often responsible for a certain area. As the general police station responsible for the security of the entire city, there is bound to be a large number of reserve police forces and a larger number of information documents. It is very busy.
As you can imagine, today is still a busy day as usual, with people coming and going in front of the huge police station from time to time.
After glancing at the navigation system in the car and then at the police station sign not far outside the window, Li Tianheng turned around and reminded: "We're here, that's the Lichuan City Police Headquarters."
"Very good, Cheng Ying, Chen Shuihong, you two will get off the car with me. Do you know what to do?"
……………
Half an hour later, Lichuan City Police Station, Comprehensive Archives Room on the 3rd floor.
In front of the computer, controlling the mouse, Cheng Ying was browsing a lot of information intently. Behind him, Zhao Ping stayed in front of the cabinet and flipped through files from time to time. Chen Shuihong stood at the door talking and laughing with an older police officer, seemingly having a conversation.
Very happy.
"Mr. Chen, look at what you said. I'm just doing my job. How can I get any credit?"
"Hehe, what you say of Chief Jin is too modest. Looking at the entire Lichuan City Police Department, who doesn't know the name of Chief Jin? With your various qualifications in the police station, it is probably no problem to be promoted to a higher level before retirement.
.”
"Haha, Chief Editor Chen is overly praised. Don't worry, you can check it out at will. Anyway, they are all expired old files from decades ago. The police station has already given up on the investigation. It doesn't matter if you look at it, but you have to be quick. After all, it's so
It’s a bit illegal to do this…”
"Oh, Section Chief Jin, don't worry. Didn't you tell me before? We are just taking a casual look, and we will leave immediately after watching. We will never cause any trouble to Section Chief Jin."
At this moment, he stared at the fat man in front of him who claimed to be the editor-in-chief. As the chief of the archives section of the police station, Jin Dacheng had a kind attitude. He was currently chatting and laughing with Chen Shuihong happily, and then allowed the other two to check the computer inside.
Looking through the files, the first thing I can confirm is that it is located on the 3rd floor.
The archives of the police station are strictly prohibited for outsiders to enter at will. It is strictly against the rules to do so. Of course, the rules are rules, but the problem is that Section Chief Jin has to violate the rules and let a few people go in and browse. The reason is very simple. That is because the other party gave
Too much! Enough for him to risk it!
Yes, I just met three people in the office. Before he could say anything, the middle-aged fat man who was more bureaucratic than me took the initiative to say hello with a smile, and then talked to the confused Section Chief Jin.
Get up, through dialogue, the other party claims to be a certain solution
The editor-in-chief of the mystery program, named Chen Shuihong, is currently leading his staff to collect and produce a mysterious suspense program. The program involves many cases of missing persons. Since it involves cases, it is easy to come to the police station to collect information.
became a must
However, to be honest, missing persons cases like this are too common for big cities. There are only a few cases every year. Section Chief Jin is not convinced about this. That is true, but the problem is that the police department has
police station rules, although he does manage
He could not let outsiders look through the entire city's residents' information and case information at will. He was about to seriously refuse, but before he could say anything, Chen Shuihong had already stuffed a stack of U.S. dollars into it as fast as lightning.
Section Chief Jin pockets, and then...
Smelling the 'aroma' of money still floating in the air, and touching the considerable thickness of US dollars in his pocket, Section Chief Jin fell silent. Not only did the serious expression he just put on disappear, but also the words of rejection he was about to spit out.
They all swallowed it back, and then the whole person was filled with hesitation. While Section Chief Jin was hesitating, another stack of US dollars with the same amount was stuffed into Section Chief Jin's pocket again!
"Gudu."
In the end, Section Chief Jin failed. He was completely knocked down by money. Afterwards, he had a great conversation with Chen Shuihong, whom he had just met. They were chatting and laughing like many lost old friends and rushed to the third floor. In a short time, in the air
In the deserted third floor, Chen Shuihong and Section Chief Jin were complimenting each other enthusiastically at the door. Cheng Ying immediately turned on the computer to check information, and Zhao Ping pulled out a file and browsed it intently.
20 minutes later…
After bidding farewell to Section Chief Jin, who was both happy and sad, the three of them left the police station and returned to the car. As soon as they got back into the car, Chen Xiaoyao and the other two who stayed in the car asked curious questions, adjusted their glasses, and Zhao Ping looked at Cheng Ying.
The first question was: "How was it? How was the harvest?"
"Well, it's pretty good. Except that Park Aiying's family situation cannot be found, her original address has been found out. By the way, where are you?"
Seeing Cheng Ying nodding her head in affirmation without any nonsense, Zhao Ping then said: "Although Park Aiying disappeared in Shuiyuan City, as a native of Lichuan City, the police station here still built a file for her and included the investigation results of the Suiyuan City Police.
I made a copy. First of all, Park Aiying disappeared on October 26, 1969. The last person who saw Park Aiying was a famous doctor.
According to the nurse at the hospital, she noticed a change in Park Aiying early that morning. Park Aiying, the usually gentle and polite dean, was in a daze and in a depressed mood. At that time, she had noticed something was wrong and wanted to
She asked a few questions, but the other party didn't give her a chance to ask. Before she could speak, Park Aiying walked directly into the dean's office."
Speaking of which, Zhao Ping formally introduced the Park Aiying case, and the content was quite bizarre...
Not to mention why Park Aiying was depressed, the nurse never saw Park Aiying again since Park Aiying walked into the office, and a mass suicide of patients occurred that night, and nearly a hundred mental patients died! The cause of death was Shu
Levalin poisoning was a poisoning death caused by taking a large amount of drugs suspected to be sedatives. In addition, the director Park Aiying disappeared that day. Sure enough, the Suyuan City police immediately regarded Park Aiying as a key suspect and immediately started arresting them. During this period, they also
I specifically contacted the city where Park Aiying was from, which is the Icheon City Police Headquarters. Soon, a manhunt across the two cities of Shuyuan and Icheon was officially launched. The search went on for a long time, almost two months, but something strange happened.
yes,
No matter how hard the two police stations worked, and even used many experienced police officers to handle the case, nothing was found. No matter it was Suwon City where the case occurred or Icheon City where the suspect was from, there was no trace of Park Aiying on either side.
Since Park Ai-young could not be found, and the impact of the case was so great that it was well-known to the world, the police had no choice but to expand the search scope. The General Police Office began to issue search orders to the entire Gyeonggi Province. For a time, countless police stations dispatched
The police were searching the area. It seemed that there were a lot more police than at the beginning, but the search area was also expanded several times, and any police investigator with some experience knew that the larger the area, the larger the area.
The harder it is to find the truth, the result is exactly as expected. After months of searching, nothing was found. In the end, the police could only shelve it as an unsolved case, and Park Aiying disappeared completely like someone evaporated.
No one had seen her for decades. Later, some senior police investigators who had been handling the case for many years speculated that Park Aiying might have died long ago, but her body could not be found.
The above is the case information that Zhao Ping obtained when browsing the files. Fortunately, the Lichuan City Police Department copied a copy of the case information that year, otherwise they would have to go to the Shuiyuan City Police Station, which is further away, to collect clues, which would definitely consume a lot of time.
What the executors lack now is time. After all, no one knows when the curse will release the task.
After listening to Zhao Ping's case introduction, Cheng Ying couldn't help but frown. Chen Xiaoyao and the three others who were also listening also looked suspicious. It was obvious that Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and Chen Shuihong got out of the car and walked to the police station.
From that moment on, Chen Xiaoyao, who was staying in the car, immediately understood that the man with glasses was going straight to the police station to investigate for clues. He is indeed Zhao Glass, so brave.
Sure enough, he is big enough, and his acting style has always been direct and not sloppy at all. Perhaps in Chen Xiaoyao's eyes, Zhao Ping is bold, but in fact Zhao Ping has no choice but to do it. If there is enough time, even if the investigation clues cannot be separated from the police station
, he will definitely adopt safer methods to investigate, such as sneaking in at night or paying the police to take a peek.
Files, etc., he had plenty of ways to get case information related to Park Aiying from the police station. He said so, but the reality forced him to take risks. Without knowing when the curse would release the mission, time was tight.
, in order to save investigation time as much as possible, Zhao Ping had no choice but to take risks and bribe the police officers responsible for file management.
Therefore, the purpose of bringing Cheng Ying and Chen Shuihong is nothing more than to make preparations in advance. With Chen Shuihong, an old official in the officialdom, he can take charge of communication or bribery, while Cheng Ying is obviously the last to prepare. If the bribery fails,
, then he will signal Cheng Ying to control the person, and then violently threaten him, and he will achieve his goal no matter what.
Fortunately, the section chief surnamed Jin is the same as Chen Shuihong. He is also an official gangster and has basically no resistance to money. However, several people have successfully obtained the file information. In short, for the executor, it can
Problems solved with money are never problems..
Let’s get back to the topic, leaving aside Zhao Ping’s risky actions. After listening to Zhao Ping’s overall narration of the case, or after learning about the details of the case that had never been seen in the movie, everyone had a good time.
Surprised, it turned out that Park Aiying’s case was so twists and turns! Of course, the movie also introduced the collective death of mental patients and Park Aiying.
Inexplicable disappearance, in fact, the details of the case were never mentioned, but it is different now. Through the risky investigation of Zhao Ping and the others, the executors gained a lot of information, such as the specific cause of death of the mental patient, the search process of Park Aiying, or Park Aiying.
The mental state on the day of disappearance, etc., as for which point deserves the most attention...
"Huh? This matter is really a bit weird. Why did Dean Park Aiying look in a trance that morning? Something feels a little wrong." Chen Xiaoyao is worthy of being known as a Taoist wizard. Although he has not seen much of the world, after all,
He has an extremely smart brain. As soon as he finished listening to Zhao Ping's narration and pondered for only a few seconds, Chen Xiaoyao touched his chin and muttered to himself, directly talking about his focus.
Sure enough, seeing that Chen Xiaoyao was the first to care about Park Aiying's mental state on the day she disappeared, everyone except Zhao Ping cast their eyes on her. Cheng Ying asked in a probing tone: "What? You care about this?"
"That's natural. We Taoists say that the level of spirit can often directly determine a person's inner state. If the spirit is high, then the person must be very happy. If the person is frowning, then something unhappy must have happened.
But if the whole person is depressed or even depressed to the point of being in a daze, then he must have encountered some huge problems that are difficult to solve..."
"Big problem?"
"Hey, brother Chen, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Park Aiying faced some kind of dilemma before committing the crime?"
Relying on the Maoshan Taoist priest's unique understanding of the human spirit, Chen Xiaoyao explained his personal judgment in a pointing tone. After hearing this, others did not speak, but Chen Shuihong asked curiously with a twitching face, and asked a very interesting question.
May be close to the truth
Guess, not to mention, after joining the team for a long time, under the influence of a group of smart seniors, Chen Shuihong gradually learned logical reasoning and knew how to put aside superficial and deep analysis. Although seniors of He Fei's level still
There is a huge gap,
But at least he is much better than ordinary people. Of course, how Chen Shuihong learns is not the point. The point is that Fatty's guess is very reasonable. Even Cheng Ying, who has a lot of thoughts, agrees with this guess, and Chen Xiaoyao is indeed listening to Chen Shuihong.
After guessing, she nodded decisively and said: "If those mental patients were indeed killed by Park Aiying, then Park Aiying must be facing some kind of dilemma, or the dilemma forced her to poison and kill those mental patients who usually have a good relationship with Park Aiying.
Kill all the patients!”
"As the saying goes, there is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. Everything has a cause and effect. If it were not for persecution, Park Aiying would never have been able to kill those mental patients who had no enmity against her. As for what the reason was,
As a result, she, the dean, poisoned her own patients with her own hands, so I don’t know how.”
Through some philosophical remarks, Chen Xiaoyao expressed his personal opinion. Like Chen Shuihong, he believed that the innocent patient died at the hands of Park Aiying. He believed that, but Chen Xiaoyao could not guess Park Aiying's murder motive.
, after all, killing someone is different from killing a chicken. Killing someone is subject to criminal liability. Generally speaking,
No one is willing to kill someone without being forced into a corner, let alone a hospital with nearly a hundred mental patients. Because of this, Chen Xiaoyao paid extra attention to Park Aiying's mental state on the day she disappeared, and then took advantage of the situation to deduce the other person's mental state.
It is very likely that the murder was not intentional, but was forced by the situation and was done as a last resort.
"A last resort? Do you have to kill people as a last resort..." Since she had long known how smart Chen Xiaoyao was, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's insightful logical reasoning, except for Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong who were a little surprised, Cheng Ying didn't have much reaction.
, just muttering to herself about the outcome of the situation, constantly talking about the last resort, and feeling like she was thinking. After about ten seconds, after finishing that profound soliloquy, the next moment, Cheng Ying suddenly raised her head,
He looked directly at Zhao Ping.
As for Zhao Ping...
Unlike Cheng Ying's thoughtful expression just now, the bespectacled man reacted calmly and remained expressionless throughout the whole process. Currently, he was just sitting on the guest chair in silence. Whether it was the initial case narration or Chen Xiaoyao's personal analysis just now, there was nothing during this period.
It can make him change his expression. He is just listening and listening to everyone talking.
During the discussion, until Cheng Ying glanced at him, the man turned his gaze to the outside of the car like an old monk who had just finished his meditation. I thought he would say something, but unexpectedly he said nothing. Instead, he used an unquestionable expression.
He ordered Li Tianheng in a tone of voice: "Drive to Park Aiying's original residence."
Buzz buzz.
Accompanied by the roar of the car body, the Iveco, which was bought with a lot of money, drove straight to the northern area of the city. Speaking of which, I have to mention the overall layout of Lichuan City. Like other large cities, prosperous areas are often located in the center of the city.
And the further outside you go, the more bleak it becomes,
There is no denying that as a developed city close to the capital, there are almost no bleak areas in Icheon City. However, most of the buildings on the outskirts of the city are old, and there are many buildings built in the mid-to-late last century. Park Ae-young's residence was right there.
Outskirts of the city.
Relying on the address information Cheng Ying collected from the computer, after driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived in the north of the city and then drove into a residential area called Shunchen Garden.
Snap.
Through the car window, after taking a general look at the community environment that is very similar to that in China, Zhao Ping opened the door and got out of the car first, followed closely by Cheng Ying and Chen Shuihong, but...
"Li Tianheng, and Chen Xiaoyao, you two also get out of the car."
"Eh? Can we go down? Okay! Great!".
That's right. Different from the previous trip to the police station, this time everyone got out of the car. Upon hearing Zhao Ping's request to get out of the car, Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, who thought they would still have to stay in the car and wait boredly, were overjoyed and rushed to jump out.
After getting off the car, under the leadership of Zhao Ping, everyone shuttled along the road in the community and rushed directly to a nearby residential building.
Half a minute later, standing in front of the building, looking up at this ancient residential building, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes and asked casually: "Building 3 of Shunchen Garden, is this here, right?"
"Yes, the address information marked on the computer is here, in Room 501, Building 3."
"Let's go upstairs."
After receiving Cheng Ying's affirmative reply, everyone, including Zhao Ping, walked into the building in front of them without hesitation.
As I specifically described at the beginning, because it is an old-fashioned community, the buildings here are generally not high, and the top floors are only 6 floors high. Because of this, there is no elevator here. If you want to go upstairs, you can only take the stairs.
At this moment, a group of people headed by Zhao Ping collectively shuttled through the dark and narrow corridors. After passing through many floors, they soon arrived at the end and officially arrived at the door of Room 501 on the fifth floor.
