chasing the dark

Chapter 100 Skeleton No. [-]
The three skeletons were mixed together. Only by confirming the identities of the three and finding out the connection points can we find clues to solve the case.

No. [-]'s features are so obvious, but they haven't been found out.Apparently it was another missing person who was not reported, which undoubtedly made it more difficult to solve the case.

……

Time passed day by day, and it was mid-August in a blink of an eye.

I have been squatting near the auto repair shop for a week, and no one has been found entering or leaving the barbecue shop.

The investigation of the missing persons has yielded results. Through DNA comparison, it has been confirmed that the father who returned late from a business trip is biologically related to the No. [-] skeleton.

This is indeed good news for the first team of criminal police. Finding the source of the corpse will be of great help to advance the case.

But for the father who lost his son, it was like a bolt from the blue.

The owner of the No. 24 skeleton is named Ding Yang, [-] years old and unemployed.His father, Ding Junsheng, was a project manager of a construction engineering company, the kind who was well-known in the industry.

At the beginning, his wife called and said that his son could not be reached, and he was not too anxious.What can happen to a young man?He reassured that he might be back in a few days.

After receiving the DNA test notice from the Public Security Bureau, he still didn't believe that the source of the corpse would be his son, so he made arrangements for the construction site before returning to Mingyang.

Who would have thought that after waiting for two days, the bad news came.

When Ye Zhanzhou and Jiang Yu arrived at his house, it was his remarried wife Liu Haimei who opened the door.

This woman is about 40 years old, with short ear-length hair and a black and white plaid home dress. The whole person looks very gentle and demure, but her eyes are red, and there are tears that have not been wiped off at the corners of her eyes.

She let people into the room, and said loudly: "Brother, the people from the Public Security Bureau are here."

Ding Junsheng stood up from the sofa in the living room. This man in his early fifties no longer had the look he had when he went to the Municipal Bureau two days ago. His originally combed hair hung down on his forehead, and his face was pale and haggard.

He braced himself up and greeted the two of them.

Sitting down in the living room, Ye Zhanzhou said, "Mr. Ding, we came here to learn more about Ding Yang's situation so that we can find clues."

At this time, consolation is useless, showing that the positive working attitude of the police is the greatest consolation to the affected family members.

Ding Junsheng sighed, and began to tell about Ding Yang's experience intermittently.

"Actually, Yang Yang is quite pitiful. His mother committed suicide because of depression in his third year of high school. Her death hit Yang Yang hard. During that time, he locked himself in his room and refused to see anyone. Until more than a month later, Yangyang just went back to school. But his grades dropped so badly that he had to repeat the course for another year before he managed to get into City College."

City College is a local private university in Mingyang, and the score line is not much higher than that of a junior college.

"After graduating, he worked as a real estate agency for a period of time. His performance was not good, and he quit after a while. Originally, I wanted Yang Yang to come to our company. After working for so many years, the leader would give me some face. He refused, I have to find a job by myself. It is so hard to find a job now, and it is even more difficult for him to graduate from a private university, and he has never found a suitable one."

Liu Haimei came out of the kitchen, put the brewed tea in front of several people, and sat down on the chair next to Ding Junsheng.

Ye Zhanzhou thanked him, and then Ding Junsheng asked, "According to what you just said, the relationship between your father and son is not very good?"

"You can't say that." Liu Haimei rushed to speak, "My brother... Junsheng is definitely a good father, but Yangyang is old and there are some things that he doesn't want to understand."

"What is the relationship between Mrs. Ding and Ding Yang?" Ye Zhanzhou asked suddenly.

Liu Haimei was startled for a moment, and then said: "We...are also doing well."

Using "very good" to summarize the relationship between a stepmother and a stepson is obviously perfunctory.

Ding Junsheng coughed twice, turned his head and said, "Xiaomei, go buy some vegetables and leave the two police officers at home for dinner."

According to common sense, the master should be polite when he said this, but Ye Zhanzhou and Jiang Yu didn't say anything.Everyone present knew in their hearts that it was Ding Junsheng who wanted to drive Liu Haimei away.

Liu Haimei was sensible, she nodded: "Then talk about it, I'll go to the supermarket."

After she left, Ding Junsheng spoke again: "The relationship between our family is a bit complicated, and it's hard to say it in front of her. Xiaomei is the sister of Yangyang's mother, that is, Yangyang's aunt. Xiaomei was married and has never had children. , went to the hospital for an examination, and it was because she was infertile. Because of this, the two of them separated. I was busy with work and often traveled on business. Help take care of her. Without her, Yangyang's mother might have left long ago."

This relationship is indeed complicated. The two sisters married the same man. Although it is said that Liu Haimei married Ding Junsheng after the death of the sister, it would still be somewhat embarrassing to tell outsiders about the brother-in-law marrying the sister-in-law.

"There is no blood relationship, and it is voluntary, which is completely allowed by law." Ye Zhanzhou said nonchalantly, "Besides, she is Ding Yang's aunt, and she has always taken care of their mother and child. It is better than outsiders to get along with each other."

Ding Junsheng shook his head bitterly: "Xiaomei has no children, and she has watched Yangyang grow up since she was a child, and treats him like her own child. But Yangyang is not. He used to be very close to Xiaomei, since we knew we were going to get married. Afterwards, his attitude changed. He didn’t talk to us very much, and once he drank too much outside, Xiaomei persuaded him a few words, and he even sneered that Xiaomei hadn’t settled down long ago.”

"So, the relationship between your husband and wife and Ding Yang is quite tense?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

"Officer Ye suspects that the two of us have harmed Yangyang?" Ding Junsheng raised his head suddenly, frowning, "I am Yangyang's father, and Xiaomei is not only his stepmother, but also his aunt. How could he be harmed by Yangyang this time?" The disappearance was reported by Xiaomei, otherwise she might not know that Yangyang has..."

His voice choked and he couldn't continue.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Ding, it's just a routine question." Ye Zhanzhou pushed the tissue box on the coffee table in front of him, "Listening to what you said, can I understand that Ding Yang is dissatisfied with your husband and wife? , and often do not go home or come home late?”

"Almost." Ding Junsheng wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue, "He seldom eats at home."

"Does Ding Yang have a source of income now?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

"Although I'm not a big boss in business, it's still no problem to support my wife and children." Ding Jun said naturally, as if a young man in his 20s is still being supported by his father, which is a matter of course.

"Ding Yang doesn't go home often, where does he go?" Ye Zhanzhou changed the subject.

Ding Junsheng shook his head: "I don't know, I won't tell him if I ask him. I think it's just a place where young people like to play." Ye Zhanzhou: "Who does Ding Yang often hang out with?"
