Chapter 98 Discovering Correlations
Director Tian found an unused office for An Zixi in the police station. There were tables, chairs, and other sundries in it.Although there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the room, the table and the floor are very clean, and it can be seen that someone has cleaned them.

The materials An Zixi wanted were all placed on the table, stacked up to a foot high.

"These are all the cases on the day Chai disappeared. There are more than ten cases, large and small, as well as all case materials from the few days before the incident and about half a month after the incident." Director Tian looked at the time very seriously, " From now on, I hope you can find something."

"Thank you, Tian Suo." An Zixi didn't talk nonsense, he just pulled out his chair, sat at the table and flipped through the documents.

Director Tian walked out silently and closed the door behind him.

"Boss, do you really want her to watch inside?"

"Nonsense." The files have been sent in, can they not be seen.

Tiansuo still has a meeting to hold, so let's take a step first, but he is still a member of the police office, so he should pay attention to the movements on Anzixi's side, and if she needs anything, he must fully cooperate.

"Yes!" The young policeman replied, then moved a chair and sat at the door.His task today is to take good care of the aunt inside, no matter whether she is thirsty or hungry, or wants to ask some questions, he has to take good care of him.

The young police officer shook his head, and felt more and more Tian Suo's actions... He didn't quite understand. Could it be that a high school student was really expected to help them solve the case?

An Zixi carefully looked at the documents in her hand. She first found out the original files of Chai Liting and planned to read them first.Although she had seen the copy that Qu Lao gave her before, the original was more accurate and intuitive.

After reading for about half an hour, An Zixi didn't find anything suspicious, so he put Chai Liting's original file aside and picked up other materials to read.

For three full hours, An Zixi sat on a chair and flipped through the materials, without even drinking his saliva.

The young police officer who had been waiting in the corridor thought she was very powerful. With so many files and files, he usually felt dizzy after reading a few pages!
But what about An Zixi, she watched it for three hours without raising her head a few times, wouldn't she be tired?

An Zixi took notes while reading, and wrote down all the doubts in the notebook.

In fact, she doesn't need to write. She has a strong memory and a very reliable brain, but in order to make it easier for others to grasp the points she doubts, she still chooses to write them down.

Soon, five hours passed, and it was getting dark.Only then did An Zixi stand up and move about in the room. She was very tight on time and had to make good use of every minute and every second.

The young police officer who had been sitting in the corridor finally heard the sound of walking inside the house. He stood at the door and saw An Zixi stretching his muscles.

The young policeman knocked on the door politely.

An Zixi turned her head, "Please come in."

The young police officer opened the door and came in, asking, "Well, are you hungry? Our unit has a cafeteria, I can help you get some food."

An Zixi was flattered, "This... is too troublesome!" People with a lot of mental work consume energy quickly, and she is indeed a little hungry.

"It's okay, Tian Suo confessed when he left! Let me wait for you here, if you need anything, just ask."

"Then, thank you!" An Zixi smiled, "I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat anything. Oh yes, I'll give you the money."

The young policeman was dazzled by her smile, his face turned red, and he waved his hands quickly, "Well, no, I'll go get some food first..." After speaking, he turned around and ran away, as if fleeing.

An Zixi shook his head and laughed, stood at the window and looked out, then sat back at the desk and continued to read the materials.

Soon, the young police officer came back. He put the aluminum lunch box on the table and poured An Zixi a glass of water.

An Zixi thanked him, but his eyes were still fixed on the file.

She found the problem.

Before Chai Liting's accident, there was a coercion case in Houyu Township. The victim was a 20-year-old newlywed girl F. She and her fellow villagers went to the county to visit her husband who worked in a hydraulic parts factory. Houyu Township, the arrival time is about 10 minutes at [-]:[-]pm.

The two parted ways and went home separately.

On the way home, the victim had to pass a cornfield. After being knocked out, the victim was dragged directly into the cornfield by the murderer...

After the victim woke up, because she didn't know the law, she took a shower immediately, so that when she reported the crime later, she found no useful evidence.

What's even more frightening is that the murderer did something wrong, but the victim finally committed suicide because he couldn't bear the rumors outside.

The murderer has not been caught yet...

About a week after the disappearance of Chai Liting, there was another missing woman. The missing person was Lu Yumei, a resident of the town. She was about 40 years old. She ran away from home because of conflicts with her husband. She has not heard from her for a year.The family searched for it for more than half a year, and then slowly gave up.

These three cases seem to have nothing to do with each other on the surface, but they are actually related.

First of all, the missing or victims are all women. Although the age span is not small, there is really one thing in common between them.

When the incident happened, it was raining lightly!
It wasn't heavy rain, it wasn't thunderstorms, it just happened to be light rain.

It is very likely that the specific weather like light rain will stimulate a certain nerve in the criminal's heart, which will cause him to be stimulated and commit crimes.

An Zixi thought of this, and drew a big question mark on the notebook!

Assuming that Chai Liting was murdered instead of being abducted by human traffickers, is it possible that the person who murdered her was the same person as the case of coercion in Houyu Township and the case of Lu Yumei's disappearance?
Secondly, both Chai Liting and the victim in Houyu Township have a relatively prominent facial feature—dimples.

Chai Liting has shallow but long dimples, and the other victim's dimples are bigger.

Is this also a coincidence?
It is a pity that there is no photo of another missing person, Lu Yumei, in the files of the police station. She needs to confirm whether Lu Yumei also has a pair of dimples.

If there is, then the scope of the suspect's murder can be locked.

She can even use these two characteristics to lure the snake out of its hole.

but……

She still needs to determine two things!
An Zixi packed up all the documents on the table, got up and walked towards the door.

The young police officer just came back from lunch, and when he opened the door, he almost bumped into An Zixi head-on.

"Where are you going! I just ordered my meal back!"

"I won't eat..." An Zixi was about to leave, and asked him to thank Director Tian on his behalf, but suddenly remembered that he still had two doubts, so he changed his words: "I have something I want to ask you."

"Say it." The young policeman pointed to the room, "Or let's talk in the room!"

OK!
Two people entered the house.

"Well, I think you are quite young, I wonder when you came to our institute?"

The young man blushed, "Well, why are you asking this?"

"No, I mainly want to ask, do you know about Lu Yumei's case?" An Zixi pulled out the file and handed it to him.

"I know, I know." The young man nodded, knowing that he had misunderstood, he quickly straightened his mind.He put the lunch box on the table, took the file and said: "This case also happened last year, and it happened before and after Chai Liting's case. I am deeply impressed."

As soon as An Zixi heard that he knew about it, he immediately became interested, "Well, I read that it said that the person had been missing for half a year before reporting it, why?"

"Hey, talking about this matter, I'm really angry! This Lu Yumei is usually angry at her husband's house. Her husband beats her when she drinks alcohol. For a long time, no matter how good a relationship is, it can't stand such a test! Every time After she was beaten, she wanted to run away, and came back after two or three days! Next time, she will beat and run again! The neighbors near the house have long been used to the sound of wolves howling and ghosts screaming at their house! It’s just that she had an accident last year At that time, everyone thought that she would go out for a few days like before, and she would come back in a few days. As a result, she never came back, and her natal family couldn't contact her, so they said that Lu Yumei was killed by her husband's family. , that’s why I came to report the case.”

That's what happened.

"Why are there no photos in the file?"

"Lu Yumei's life is hard. Her natal family favors boys over girls. They didn't take any photos of her. It seems that they had a few group photos when they were young, but they didn't want to take them. Her in-laws didn't pay much attention to her, saying that there were no photos. .No one inquired about the follow-up matters at all, as if she didn't care about her life or death at all."

have to……

An Zixi pointed to the address on the file and asked, "Does their family still live here?"

"Should still be there!" It's only half a year later, so they probably won't be moving.

An Zixi hurriedly said, "Thank you, then I'll go and have a look first."

"Hey, Miss An, do you want me to accompany you there?"

"No need. Oh, by the way, you have to keep these materials and hand them over to Tiansuo yourself, and thank him for me."

The young police officer quickly said: "No problem, but do you want to go over after eating? accompany you?"

"No need, I'm familiar with this place! Thank you!" An Zixi was eager to verify his deduction, left the police station in a hurry, and searched for Lu Yumei's home address.

At 08:30 in the evening, the town was exceptionally quiet. In the era when televisions were not widely popularized, people’s entertainment life was relatively scarce.In addition to playing poker and chess under the street lamp at the entrance, people who have worked hard all day have basically fallen asleep at this time.

It's really hard to find people with black lights, but An Zixi managed to find Lu Yumei's home according to the address on the file.

The gate was closed tightly, and there was no sound from around the yard.It was pitch black all around, not even a street lamp!
An Zixi thought for a while, then simply squatted in the corner, carefully scanned the surrounding situation, and after confirming that it was safe, he dodged into the space.

She went straight back to her bedroom, planning to have a good night's sleep, and then go to check on Lu Yumei's situation tomorrow morning.

Silent all night!
In the early morning of the next day, An Zixi slept in the space for a long time, and it was almost time, so he got up to wash up, ate a box of a certain brand of self-healing pot, and tidied himself up before leaving the space .

Carrying a small satchel, she wandered around Lu Yumei's house, and quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.

There is no need to have the intention of harming others, and the need to be defensive. Everyone is on high alert. If it weren't for seeing her as a thin and weak girl, someone would have reported the crime long ago.

"Little girl, what are you doing? I see that you are unfamiliar and have been wandering around here for a long time. What's the matter with you?" An aunt asked her vigilantly.

An Zixi hurriedly said, "Auntie, I want to rent a house near here! I haven't found a suitable one, so why don't I come here?"

"What are you renting a house for?" Although An Zixi spoke in a local dialect, the aunt did not let down her vigilance.

"It's time for me to go to junior high school in the town. My mother is worried about me and doesn't want me to live in school. She wants to rent a house with me here. It just so happens that my sister is not young and wants to learn tailoring in the town. Craftsmanship, the three of us live together, and we also have a care in our daily life!"

Little stars lit up in the aunt's eyes, as if she smelled gossip.

Why did the three mothers come out to rent a house and throw the old man away?Maybe that old man is not serious, making po shoes at home so that his wife and children can catch him straight!

"Then what do you want to rent? You don't understand even a half-grown child, why don't you let your mother come?"

An Zixi pretended to be innocent on purpose, "Auntie, I can decide this matter, as long as the house is clean, it's better to be a detached courtyard!" As she said, she turned her head to look for the target, pointing to Lu Yumei's family: " I think the yard is nice, and the size is suitable. I don’t know if there are people living in it now, and whether it is rented out or not.”

"Oh, that's He Laoliu's family. They don't rent a house, and they can't live in it! But my child, if you want to go to school with peace of mind, I advise you, you'd better look elsewhere, don't stay here It’s not good to rent a house on the right.”

An Zixi blinked, "What's wrong!? How close is this place to the school!" The original owner went to junior high school here, so An Zixi is also very familiar with this place.

"As far as He Laoliu's family is concerned, their family doesn't stop for a day! Let me tell you, it's not easy to live!" The aunt is also too busy, and she takes care of everyone who goes to work and goes to school at home. For a person like An Zixi, he shouldn't chatter.

"Why are you restless, haunted?"

"Oh!" The aunt looked at her like she was looking at a fool, "What kind of haunting, it's in broad daylight. I mean their family, they are not very good, they make trouble every day!"

Like the aunt, it seems that she has a grudge against this He Laoliu, gnashing her teeth when she speaks!

"When Xiao Lu was here before, He Laoliu beat her every day, crying like a wolf! This time it's good, I beat Xiao Lu away!"

 It's snowing again today, and I originally planned to go to get a dental treatment, but my stomach hurt disrupted the plan!It is estimated that it is affected by the weather.

  Good night everyone, no bugs
