Along the way, Qin Nan was thinking about this case, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason, because these people have nothing in common and have no connection with each other.
There are good people like the godfather, and there are extremely evil people like Fan Xu. Everyone has different personalities and identities. The only thing in common is what Wu Fayi said. They are all men. This is what they are.
similarities.
After returning home, Qin Nan lay flat on the bed and watched the short videos on his phone, but he was still thinking about these recent cases.
At this time, he saw a video from an amusement park. It seemed that a circus was about to come to the city to perform.
Suddenly, he sat up from the bed suddenly, as if he remembered something...
At two o'clock in the morning on March 20, in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs, in a room on the third underground floor, a lion was wandering in the room.
It looked at everyone in the cage, and its saliva flowed down unconsciously.
"Be good! If you don't know how to do it, I will let you eat fresh human flesh. Come and eat some of this first!" The clown threw two pieces of raw pork from the backpack on the side to the lion. The lion was also very obedient and started to feast on it.
After eating, he was still acting coquettishly in front of the clown. At this moment, the sound of someone's footsteps came from the corridor outside the room. The clown raised his lips and looked towards the door.
At this time, a man walked in carrying a woman on his back.
"Boss, where is this woman?" the man in black asked.
"Just over there." The clown pointed at the iron cage not far away and said.
Immediately, the man put the woman into the iron cage and locked it.
"Okay, if the police dare to arrest you two, don't you want to live?" said a person in the cage.
The clown ignored him and just counted the cages in front of him: "One, two, three...eight..."
"Hehe, he is the only one left. I will go with you to catch that person tomorrow." The clown clapped his hands and said.
"The godfather, the farmer, the teacher and the police, and then the detective. Hehe, once we get them together, we can play the game, hahaha." The clown laughed crazily.
Ma Xiaotao was also awakened by the clown's hysterical laughter. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but shrink back, because this person was the clown who disappeared in the playground.
And the cages around them contain the same group of people who disappeared...
The next morning, Qin Nan and others had already arrived at the police station at 8:30 in the morning. At this time, Wu Fayi was sitting at his desk reading a book, but Ma Xiaotao was missing.
Qin Nan couldn't help but shook her head. She knew without thinking that she must have overslept.
At 8:45, Ma Xiaotao still did not come to his work station, so Qin Nan and the other three hurriedly came to the conference room. Song Yi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw that there were only three men, Qin Nan and the others.
"Where's Xiaotao?" Song Yi asked.
"I must have overslept." Qin Nan replied.
Song Yi frowned slightly and then nodded. Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to believe that Ma Xiaotao was late.
Song Yi really didn't believe it, because Ma Xiaotao had never been late since she came to the police force. She could only arrive early, and she said she had important things to do this morning.
When Song Yi saw the people on the team gathered, he said, "Okay, my meeting will begin today. Let's talk about what you think about these missing cases. Have you thought about it after you go home?"
Everyone below also lowered their heads, still without any clue, then Qin Nan said:
"Old Song, I suspect that this case may be related to that organization."
"Which organization?! From where did you find out?" Song Yi asked. At this time, everyone with their heads lowered also looked at Qin Nan.
"Because in the recent cases, the missing people were taken away by a van, and in the case of my cousins' disappearance, it was also the same van, and it was the same model.
After the investigation of that case, it was found that the clown was responsible for the crime, and the members of that organization, Shadow, also indirectly revealed that the clown was one of their members, so in this case, I think it was the person codenamed 'Joker'
case," Qin Nan analyzed.
At this time, after hearing Qin Nan's analysis, the police officers in the venue also began to talk about it. Everyone felt that it was indeed what happened.
Song Yi also found screenshots of the vans involved in these cases on his computer, and then found screenshots of the previous case. Finally, he found that the models of these vans were also surprisingly consistent.
The most important thing is that the way of blocking the license plate number is exactly the same. Everyone in the conference room widened their eyes in surprise when they saw it.
"I also think that there are two possibilities for the people that the clown arrested. The first is that they were arrested at random, and they were arrested to sell organs, or other things. The second possibility is that they were arrested and then carried out in some way.
a 'game' or ritual,
Because the arrested people all have different professions, including a kind godfather and a fugitive wanted criminal, the identities of these two people are very different.
And I remember that when I was working on my cousin’s disappearance case, the clowns who killed were all the traffickers we wanted, and he also arrested certain people.
Maybe the clown has changed his mind this time and wants to catch this specific type of person." Qin Nan continued his analysis.
"Well, that makes sense. Does anyone have any other opinions?" Song Yi nodded in agreement.
The meeting lasted until about ten o'clock in the morning. Song Yi, Qin Nan and the others concluded that they should first investigate according to the direction Qin Nan said. If there are other findings, they can overturn the current speculation.
But looking at it now, all the possibilities Qin Nan mentioned seem to exist.
Qin Nan and others returned to their workstations. When he saw that Ma Xiaotao's office was still empty, he was a little puzzled. The chairs were placed in the same direction and position as when they left.
"It's strange... where are the people." Qin Nan said to himself.
Immediately, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the messages in WeChat, but there was no message from Ma Xiaotao, and there was no message in the group that she arrived home last night.
He couldn't help but frown, feeling that something had happened to her, so he quickly opened his address book and dialed Ma Xiaotao's number.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The phone on the other end was not turned off, but just unanswered. He couldn't help but become more nervous, hoping it wasn't what he thought.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off..." A voice came from the phone that made Qin Nan's heart tighten.
"Oops, has something happened to Xiaotao?" Qin Nan said to himself, and then he hurried to Song Yi's office. After Song Yi saw his anxious look, he also felt that something had happened.
Son.
"What happened?" Song Yi asked.
"Xiao Tao lost contact..." Qin Nan gasped.
"What, lost contact?!" Song Yi said, and then quickly took out his mobile phone and called Ma Xiaotao. The phone was still turned off.
He called another backup number, but after calling several times, there was still no answer.
"Something really happened. She has two numbers in total, one for work and one for personal life. Now both numbers cannot be reached, and she has two mobile phones." Song Yi said.
"Old Song, do you know where Xiaotao's family lives? Let's take a look." Qin Nan said anxiously.
"She and her parents should live together. I'll call her parents." Song Yi then called Ma Xiaotao's parents.
Song Yi talked about it for a while, but it turns out that Ma Xiaotao didn't go home last night. In order not to worry the old couple, he didn't tell them about Ma Xiaotao's disappearance.
"Old Song thinks we should ask the traffic control department to adjust the monitoring. The last place we met Xiaotao yesterday was on a road not far from the Public Security Bureau. She took a taxi home." Qin Nan said with a frown.
"Okay, I'll contact the comrades over there right away. You go about your business first. I'll notify you as soon as there is news." Song Yi said.
Song Yi then called the traffic control department to retrieve last night's surveillance. Qin Nan also left Song Yi's office, thinking about the purpose of the person who kidnapped Ma Xiaotao...
