Chapter 105 The missing office worker

 1:43 pm, "Huayuanting" Community, Xiasu District.

Chu Yuexi and Yu Zhesen parked at the entrance of the community.

"Is it surprising to revisit the old place?"

"What a coincidence. The person we want to investigate today lives in this community?" Yu Zhesen responded.

Chu Yuexi sighed: "I know you didn't read the mission document I sent you seriously."

Yu Zhesen smiled awkwardly. He did not read the entire document carefully, but only glanced at the main content.

Chu Yuexi walked to the guard to show her ID. Although this was completely unnecessary. They were wearing exoskeleton armor and riding a police motorcycle from the Security Bureau. Even a fool could see their identity. However, she still chose to follow the procedure.

"Let's go and visit the subject of our investigation." Chu Yuexi, who had greeted the guard, waved to him.

"Is it just an ordinary visit?" Yu Zhesen joked, "Isn't it like last time that he rode his motorcycle up to the twelfth floor and smashed the floor-to-ceiling windows to make a grand appearance?"

"I'm just asking the other party a few words. Is it necessary..." Chu Yuexi shrugged and even removed the exoskeleton armor in front of him.

Yu Zhesen also did the same, except that after removing his armor, he was not wearing the uniform of the Security Bureau, but an everyday brown jacket.

This is just an ordinary investigation task. The object of the investigation is an ordinary citizen who has had contact with "Mr. Nightmare" who sells dreams. The exoskeleton armor has no other purpose except to provide safety protection for high-speed motorcycles.

The two entered the unit building together and took the elevator to the 7th floor where the target was located.

Chu Yuexi was responsible for knocking on the door, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman.

Yu Zhesen frowned slightly. According to the information, they were looking for a middle-aged man today.

"Hello, we are from the Security Bureau. Isn't Mr. Jing Xiangming at home?" Chu Yuexi greeted the other party with a sweet smile.

The middle-aged woman looked confused: "My husband has gone to work. Are you from the Security Bureau? Do you have anything to do with him?"

Chu Yuexi blinked: "But we informed him in advance yesterday, right? He promised to wait for us at home this afternoon."

The middle-aged woman shook her head in astonishment, saying that she had no idea about this happening and that her husband, Jing Xiangming, had never mentioned it to her at all.

This situation was obviously beyond Chu Yuexi's expectation. It seemed that this was her first time encountering this kind of thing. Being inexperienced, she subconsciously looked back at Yu Zhesen for help.

Yu Zhesen smiled faintly, deliberately showing no expression, and even took out his mobile phone.

While looking at his phone, he asked innocently: "Senior, what should we do now?"

Chu Yuexi turned around and mouthed "What" to him, her eyes filled with disbelief.

For the first time, Yu Zhesen called her "senior" and returned the question to her. He seemed confident - it was Claire who asked you to take me out in the field.

"Um... let me confirm with you that your husband, Akira Igo, works for Nanidaowan Media Company, right?"

"Yes..."

Chu Yuexi asked a little embarrassedly: "Can you please give him a call? Let him know that we are about to go to his workplace to find him."

"Okay, okay, I'll... call him right now." The middle-aged woman was obviously more nervous than Chu Yuexi.

While the other party went back to the room to get his cell phone, Yu Zhesen asked Chu Yuexi: "Can't we just go directly to Qidaowan Publicity Media to find Jingxiang Ming? If you ask his wife to call him to inform him, won't he be prepared?"
"Jing Xiangming is not a prisoner. You can't confuse him with Bi Yuansheng, Zhang Qiaolong and others." Chu Yuexi sighed and explained.

Yu Zhesen has his own thoughts on this: "He clearly received a notice from the Security Bureau in advance and knew that we were going to visit him. Not only did he hide it from his wife, but he still went to work as if nothing had happened. Doesn't it seem a bit contemptuous of the law? Or does he have something in his heart?

Are ghosts hiding from us?"

"Maybe I just didn't take it to heart." Chu Yuexi whispered, "Or maybe I couldn't leave work behind."

There were footsteps in the room, and the middle-aged woman returned to Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi with her mobile phone.

Her face was pale and she looked lost.

"Are you okay? Have you talked to Mr. Jing on the phone?" Chu Yuexi asked with concern.

The middle-aged woman said anxiously: "I couldn't get through his phone number, so I contacted the leader of his unit...but...but..."

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. What happened to Mr. Jing?"

"Manager Jiang from Wanzhen Media told me that my husband did not go to work in the company today..."

"Moreover, Manager Jiang also said that my husband asked for leave two hours in advance and left early yesterday afternoon. I had no idea about this. He came home later than usual last night."

Yu Zhesen put down his mobile phone and looked serious: "Then what did he say to you when he went out today? Or, did he look anything unusual?"

The middle-aged woman was about to collapse. She covered her face and squatted down, crying: "No...I didn't feel anything was wrong with him at all..."

"Can you tell me what's going on? Did my husband commit something?"

Chu Yuexi knelt down and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "No, your husband is not a suspect. We just want to find out something about people with superpowers from him."

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "My husband has not awakened his powers, and neither have I... Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"According to the information we have, Jingxiang Ming once had contact with a supernatural person nicknamed 'Mr. Nightmare' and purchased supernatural services from him."

Yu Zhesen provided additional explanation.

"Can you recall any strange behavior or abnormal behavior he has had recently? Not just today, but also the past few days."

With the help of Chu Yuexi, the middle-aged woman stood up and sat on the chair, and began to think carefully about recent events related to her husband.

Chu Yuexi went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water. When she came back, she saw Yu Zhesen leaning on the door frame and looking at his mobile phone. He couldn't help coughing twice and leaned over to express his dissatisfaction in a low voice: "Even if you want to assess my level and deliberately act idle, please pay attention.

Let’s look at the image of the Security Bureau..."

"I'm not killing time."

Yu Zhesen glared at her and turned his phone screen to her.

Chu Yuexi took a look and knew that she had misunderstood him. The picture displayed on the screen was that the Yiguang system was retrieving Jing Xiangming's recent whereabouts.

"I remember! My husband asked me for sleeping pills the night before yesterday." The middle-aged woman suddenly shouted.

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi both looked at her.

"I have had insomnia for a long time, so I always have sleeping pills at home. Our child is still in middle school and is a bit naughty. I usually hide the sleeping pills to prevent him from accidentally taking them."

She murmured: "My husband seldom falls asleep, but the night before yesterday he unusually asked me where I kept my sleeping pills..."

Yu Zhesen asked: "Then did you see him taking the medicine in front of him?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "No... I just told him the location and let him get it by himself."

Chu Yuexi's mind turned around: "Mr. Jing didn't take the medicine immediately after he took it. He wanted to take the medicine away the next day."

"Take it away, take it where?" the middle-aged woman asked in confusion.

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi have already guessed that Jing Xiangming may have gone to see Mr. Nightmare who sells dreams again. Sleeping pills are used to help him fall asleep quickly during the day.

Asking for leave two hours in advance and leaving early is outrageous, and today I didn’t go to work at all.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhesen overturned all his previous good-faith speculations about Mr. Nightmare and officially began to regard him as a criminal with supernatural powers.

Yi Guang's whereabouts search has yielded results. The mobile phone screen shows that Jing Xiangming spent money at a fast food restaurant in the old city at 12 noon today.

"Let's go and have a look in the old city." Yu Zhesen patted Chu Yuexi's shoulder and shook his phone at her.

"We will try our best to find your husband's whereabouts." Chu Yuexi assured the middle-aged woman.

Before leaving, she solemnly warned: "Of course, if your husband comes back, please be sure to contact the security bureau as soon as possible."

The two exited the room and quickly walked through the corridor and entered the elevator.

"Beibailu Fast Food Restaurant on Qinglong Street." Yu Zhesen said briefly, "Yi Guang found out that Jing Xiangming spent money there today at noon."

"Is he alone?"

"The nearby surveillance video captured a person, but according to the purchase order, he ordered food for three people."

Chu Yuexi narrowed her eyes: "One person ordered food for three people? It looks like..."

"It looks like he is taking the whole family for lunch, right? Maybe he is unconscious and in some kind of hallucination." Yu Zhesen thought seriously.

Chu Yuexi just read the post on the superpower forum thanking Mr. Nightmare.

Judging from what the post owner "Seventeen Years Old Wanderer" said in the post, Mr. Nightmare gave him a beautiful dream, she and Yu Zhesen both speculated that Jing Xiangming might have fallen into a dream spun by supernatural powers, blurring reality and dreams.

boundary.

"Do you still want to let Mr. Nightmare go?" Chu Yuexi touched the back of Yu Zhesen's hand in the elevator.

"Now I just want to find Jing Xiangming as soon as possible."
