By now, her suspicion on Cao Yueming had reached 80%. Lin Shuyue called Hang Jiabai, and soon, a group of people gathered in Cao Yueming's dormitory, and Hang Jiabai and others conducted an investigation of Cao Yueming's dormitory.
Lin Shuyue was outside, listening to the director of the administrative department talking about Cao Yueming's background.
The director of the administration department is a middle-aged man with a beer belly and baldness. He was extremely panicked at the moment. Sweat was dripping down his body, his back was wet, and his shirt was sticking to his body.
"He is a relative from my father-in-law's hometown. He came to my house in August and said that my third aunt introduced him to me and asked me to help him find a job." The director of the logistics department almost cried: "My third aunt has been very kind to my father-in-law's family. She has never asked us for help in her life. It was not easy for her to ask us for help this time..."
Various forms of nepotism are common in schools, especially in the Logistics Department, which is considered to be the most lucrative department in the school. The director of the Logistics Department rose to his position through connections with his father-in-law's family.
Now his father-in-law has stepped down and he has come up, but his connections are still there! How could they not agree to such a small request? What's more, Cao Yueming is not the kind of person who knows nothing and has no academic qualifications. He has also studied in high school!
A high school diploma is not enough to be a teacher, but it is more than enough to be a librarian. Before today, the director of the logistics department would never have dreamed that Cao Yueming would do such a thing to the students in the school!
After arranging for Cao Yueming to come to the school, he even forgot the existence of such a person!
The school leaders now looked at the director of the logistics department with a different look. Good fellow, after all this talk, you were the one who brought the wolf in! Thinking of the fear and worry this morning, several school leaders looked at the director of the logistics department with cold eyes.
The director of the logistics department was almost in tears. At this moment, he was full of resentment towards his father-in-law's family, who had used all kinds of words to pressure him, and always mentioned his origin and background in their words.
He admitted that he had reasons for marrying his wife's family, but he had been obedient to his father-in-law's family and submissive to his wife over the years. There was no need for them to cheat him like this, right?
Now, the family's kindness has been repaid, but his future is ruined. If it is finally found out that the student's disappearance has nothing to do with Cao Yueming, then he will at most be punished. If the student's disappearance is really caused by Cao Yueming, then he is finished. Not to mention whether he will be imprisoned, he will definitely not be able to continue his job as the director of the logistics department of Yangcheng University.
At this moment, the director of the logistics department was about to cry.
•••••
Zhang Xiaoxiao had uploaded Cao Yueming's appearance, height and approximate weight to the public security system. Just as the director of the logistics department was feeling frustrated and regretful, a colleague from the public security system called Xu Bo.
After Xu Bo finished the call, he said to Hang Jiabai: "This Cao Yueming is not the same person as the real Cao Yueming."
Hang Jiabai immediately looked up, and he remembered Zhang Zhenfa and others who were murdered in the rich man's villa. They were major suspects on the run, but after committing so many crimes, they were still able to appear openly in every corner of the country. They relied on those "impersonation" identities.
This practice of "impersonating" someone else's identity seriously infringes upon the interests of the country! Just imagine, if every person who committed a major criminal case could change his identity and name and live uprightly just by spending money, how much turmoil would it cause to the whole society?
Just like Zhang Zhenfa and others, and also like Cao Yueming now.
The Pengcheng police took this matter very seriously, but after so long, there is still no clue.
Hang Jiabai said: "I will call Pengcheng right now. This kind of impersonation must be cut off at the source! Otherwise, there will be more victims!"
Xu Bo just received a call from the bureau, and the meaning was the same as Hang Jiabai's. This kind of impersonation must not happen again!
Lin Shuyue had never imagined that there would be follow-up to the identity fraud issue of Zhang Zhenfa and others in the case of the wealthy man's family being murdered.
Before Xu Bo went out to contact people, she quietly asked beside Hang Jiabai, "Ah Bai, have you never found out about Zhang Zhenfa and his fake identities?"
Zhang Zhenfa and his friends all used fake IDs, taking advantage of the fact that there was no nationwide network for household registration information. When Lin Shuyue was in college in her previous life, this loophole no longer existed, because at that time, China had advanced technology to the point where one could use one's own DNA to bind one's ID card.
The possibility of fraud is getting lower and lower. After this technology became popular across the country, many fugitives in old cases were arrested in a short period of time.
Lin Shuyue had never paid attention to this matter, because the Daiyun incident at that time attracted her more, and also because her identity was not qualified to participate in such a case.
But now that something like Cao Yueming has happened, Lin Shuyue has to take it seriously.
Hang Jiabai said: "We sent people to visit the hometowns listed on Zhang Zhenfa's ID cards. The real Zhang Zhenfa died many years ago. But their families did not go to the police station to cancel the household registrations of these dead people. The household registrations have always existed. Some of the other people sold their household registrations voluntarily, but when we checked who bought their household registrations, they couldn't tell us."
"When investigating the local police station, they had no idea about this kind of thing, and their fake registered residences were too far apart, so their confessions could not be unified."
These household registrations were obviously specially sorted out by someone, then collected and sold, but they did not find the identity of the person who bought and sold the household registrations.
After many efforts failed to find any clues, the matter was shelved.
The emergence of Cao Yueming may well be a breakthrough in this information buying and selling case.
At this time, comrades from the Public Security Bureau also brought Brother Yuan and Sister Guan, who had close contact with Xu Simiao.
Brother Yuan and Sister Guan are old acquaintances. They have often made appointments to go out for outdoor sports together since 1998. At that time, their team was still very small, with only three or five people. Now, there are hundreds of people in their outdoor exchange group.
The policeman who brought them here reported to Xu Bo and others. After listening to the report, Xu Bo questioned the two.
Brother Yuan and Sister Guan were impressed by Xu Simiao: "She joined our Feixun group chat in mid-September. She is very lively, speaks a lot in the group, and asks a lot of questions. Minmin and I are the administrators of the group, and we are obliged to answer the questions she asks. So after a few interactions, we became very familiar with each other."
Sister Guan also just found out about Xu Simiao's disappearance. Her tan face was full of worry for Xu Simiao: "We were discussing the New Year's Day event yesterday. Simiao said she wanted to participate, too."
Lin Shuyue looked at their good and evil values, all within 5%.
Xu Bo continued to ask: "What about you and this Mingyue Ruwo? Are you familiar with him?"
Sister Guan and Brother Yuan pondered for a while, and then Sister Guan said, "He joined the group around the Mid-Autumn Festival. He doesn't speak much in the group, but he always joins when the group organizes outdoor activities."
Brother Yuan also said at this time: "I remember it too. He always said he wanted to participate, but when it came time to sign up, he disappeared. The outdoor activities in our group are based on voluntariness. If he doesn't want to participate, no one will say anything."
"Yeah yeah."
Sister Guan and Brother Yuan came over and went back after staying for less than thirty minutes, but before leaving, they both promised not to leave Yangcheng in the near future.
As soon as they left, the police finished their investigation of Cao Yueming's dormitory.
Except for the bed and the bathroom, the rest of Cao Yueming's dormitory was covered with a thick layer of dust. In the small wardrobe in the dormitory, the police found a stack of neatly stacked towels and a bottle of sleeping pills.
This drug is very powerful and is not sold in China, but it is very popular in Southeast Asia. According to Zhang Zhenfa, they also bought their fake identities from Southeast Asia.
This is most likely done by the same group of people!
The staff dormitory where Cao Yueming lives is in the most remote building. It has seven floors in total, each floor has a small single room, and most of the single faculty and staff of the school live here.
Cao Yueming's dormitory is on the seventh floor. If you walk up a little further, you will reach the roof of the building. The door leading to the roof is always locked. Judging from the rust on the iron padlock, this door has not been opened for at least one or two years.
Lin Shuyue looked around, passed Cao Yueming's neighbors who were being interviewed, and walked to the end of the corridor to look into the distance.
When Yangcheng University was founded, it was located in the suburbs of Yangcheng. Over the years, this place has become a downtown area, with countless factories and many skyscrapers being built.
Take the place that Lin Shuyue is looking at now, for example. It is a community next to Yangcheng University. When this community was first built, it was advertised as a classical-style residential building. Half of the houses in the community are all new Chinese-style villas.
But two years after construction, in Lin Shuyue's sophomore year, the developer of the community ran into trouble and the capital chain was broken, so a well-established neo-Chinese classical-style villa community became an unfinished building.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time, because the construction contractor had always paid for the construction of the villa community. The developer boss had no money, which meant that their money was also trapped in it.
They made a lot of noise about it. As students of the journalism department of Yangcheng University and future media professionals in China, many students followed up on the incident. Several of the reports were even published in the mainstream newspapers of Yangcheng.
Lin Shuyue also read a lot of those newspapers back then.
In just two years, the community has been overgrown with weeds, and the green trees that were once planted have grown very large.
Lin Shuyue looked along the wall of the community and found that the southwest corner of the community was closely connected to the banyan forest in Yangcheng University.
Lin Shuyue waved to Hang Jiabai, and Hang Jiabai came over.
Lin Shuyue pointed at that spot and asked Hang Jiabai: "Did you see anything?"
Hang Jiabai's eyes swept across Lin Shuyue's slender white fingers, stopped at the place where she was pointing, and then he suddenly understood.
"If the black-haired girl in the morning was Cao Yueming, then he most likely climbed out of the wall next to the banyan tree forest and climbed into the unfinished building next door."
This statement made a lot of sense. The girl in the morning was in good physical condition and ran very fast. There was a relatively large turn between the lotus pond and the banyan tree forest. This turn made the distance between Hang Jiabai and her get farther and farther.
A corner of the wall in the banyan tree forest happens to be a blind spot for the school's surveillance.
Hang Jiabai closed his eyes and recalled the terrain inside the banyan forest.
The wall of Yangcheng University is two and a half meters high, with inverted glass of varying lengths on it. This is the reason why Hang Jiabai and Lin Shuyue did not think about this in the morning.
Because the wall is so high and has glass, most people would not climb it. But the three banyan trees are so tall that if you climb to the top and then make a strong leap, you can probably jump out of the wall.
"Xu Bo, Xu Bo." Hang Jiabai immediately shouted to Xu Bo. Xu Bo walked over. Hang Jiabai pointed casually and he knew what was going on.
He immediately called six or seven criminal police officers to go next door. Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai followed closely behind. Downstairs, they saw Liu Shuqing and the two sets of parents waiting downstairs.
Ten minutes later, a group of people appeared under a plaque with the words "Fushan Shenju Community" written in large letters.
The iron gate was no longer there, and a few nailed wooden boards became the main gate of the community. Next to the gate was a small wooden door. Zhang Xiaoxiao walked forward and kicked it a few times, kicking open the iron nails.
A group of people filed in through the small door, and only two people were on guard outside the community.
The community is desolate, with weeds growing out of the gaps between the marble bricks that once covered the area, and construction waste piled up on both sides of the road.
In the weeds in the corner, Lin Shuyue also saw the shed snake skin. With Liu Shuqing holding her arm, Lin Shuyue walked past the snake skin without changing her expression.
Xu Bo and Hang Jiabai were leading the way. As soon as they reached the banyan tree forest, they saw a black object in the corner of the wall. They walked over quickly to check it out.
Xu Bo said: "This is the hair of the girl in black this morning."
Hang Jiabai looked around and said, "There is a footprint here, about 42 yards, very fresh, deep in the front and shallow in the back. This kind of footprint shape is formed by jumping down from a high place."
When jumping from above, the person's center of gravity will be biased forward.
A policeman carrying a camera stepped forward and took a picture of the marks found by Hang Jiabai. Zhang Xiaoxiao took out a transparent evidence bag and put the long straight black wig with bangs into it.
This discovery cheered up everyone at the scene. It meant that their guess and efforts were correct. Mother Xu held Father Xu's hand tightly, and Father Xu patted her soothingly.
They didn't say anything, for fear of affecting the police's judgment.
The police from the neighboring Yangcheng University all came to the Fushan residential area, and Lin Shuyue and others continued to go deeper into the community.
Because no one has come to this abandoned community for many years, the footprints left by Cao Yueming are particularly obvious.
Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar was also turned on. About twenty minutes later, they stopped in front of a villa in the center of the community. A 75% red dot was flashing in the good and evil radar. There was also a person with a good and evil value of 5% next to him. Lin Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Simiao is still alive because the good and evil radar cannot detect the good and evil values of the dead.
•••••
This villa is obviously different from other villas. The yard is cleaned very neatly and even the weeds have been specially cleared.
Xu Bo and other criminal police officers took out their guns. Hang Jiabai did not bring his gun with him in Pengcheng. He stood in front of Lin Shuyue, like a small mountain, as if to isolate her from all dangers.
Because they were so close, Lin Shuyue could smell the faint scent of soap on him. It was a faint lotus scent, a kind of soap from a certain brand that was selling in large quantities. Lou Fengqin would also buy it to use.
Xu Bo and his colleagues did not go inside, but stood guard outside, waiting for their colleagues to bring in the loudspeaker.
The afternoon sun was scorching the earth, and anxiety was rising in people's hearts along with the heat wave.
At this moment, a voice appeared in everyone's ears.
"I really underestimated the ability of the big city police to solve cases. You really surprised me."
Liu Shuqing was standing next to Lin Shuyue. When she heard this, she said, "This is Cao Yueming's voice."
The name Teacher Cao no longer existed after Liu Shuqing knew that Cao Yueming was the suspect in the kidnapping of Xu Simiao. She gnashed her teeth in hatred whenever she mentioned him.
Mother Xu was so excited that when she was about to speak, Father Xu covered her mouth.
Xu Bo's colleague finally arrived. He took out a brand new white speaker and put it in Xu Bo's hand, and said, "The captain and the director are on their way."
From the time the student disappeared in the morning until four o'clock now, the student has only been missing for a total of seven hours. Solving a missing case with no clues in seven hours is obviously a record.
At such an arrest scene, the captain of the Yangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade and the director of the Public Security Bureau must be present.
Xu Bo nodded and said, "Cao Yueming, you are surrounded by the police. Put down all your weapons and walk out of the villa with your head in your hands."
As soon as Xu Bo finished speaking, the people inside laughed: "Officer, what you said is ridiculous. You were able to chase me here and even accurately said my name. You must know that this is not the real Cao Yueming, right?"
"I entered Yangcheng University under a false name and took so much effort to tie Xu Simiao up. Do you think I'm a good person?"
Cao Yueming's words carried a hint of unspeakable irony. He stood in the hall of the villa, looking at the TV in front of him. On the TV was a set of surveillance screens, and the largest one was facing the front door.
Cao Yueming could see clearly how many policemen were outside the gate and who was there.
Cao Yueming's eyes fell on one of the men who looked very familiar. Then he looked at the girl who was tied up by him in the hall, and then cast his cold eyes on the man.
"Xu Suxiu, do you still remember Zhao Xuanming?"
Xu Suxiu, also known as Xu's father, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and he released his hand that was covering his wife's mouth.
Father Liu looked at him and asked, "Who is Zhao Xuanming?"
Father Xu said, "He was the boss of a vegetable stall I used to run. We had a good relationship and he was one of the first to move into the market. Ten years ago, he owed gambling debts and was chased to the market to beg for money. This had a huge impact on the market. He asked us for money and we pooled some money with him, but it was still not enough. He later mortgaged the store and returned home with his wife and son."
"It seems like you have remembered it! Then let me ask you, my father was the first merchant to settle in your vegetable market. He was in trouble at the time, why didn't you help him?"
Everyone's eyes were on Xu's father. Xu's father looked at Xu Bo, and Xu Bo handed the loudspeaker in his hand to him.
Father Xu glanced at the switch and said, "It's not that we didn't want to help your father in the beginning, we just couldn't afford it because he owed too much gambling debt. In 1994, he owed 900,000 yuan in gambling debts alone, not to mention the loan sharks. Even if we mortgaged the vegetable market and sold our house, we might not be able to pay back the small 1 million yuan."
"Don't say we can't help. Even if we can, your father and I are at most friends. We are not related. I can't sell all my assets for him."
"When your father got involved in gambling, we tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. And your mother, she was the one who got your father into gambling. She stopped gambling later, but look at how addicted your father is. Your aunt tried to persuade your mother, and I remember you were there when your mother scolded your aunt. Zhonghe, you have been a smart kid since you were young. You should know when to help others, don't you?"
"You can blame anyone for your father's death, but you can't blame me! When your father sold the store, I overestimated the price and gave your father a 20,000 yuan red envelope in private."
"Don't even mention 1994, even now, this 20,000 yuan red envelope is not a small amount. I have done my best for your father and I have no regrets."
Father Xu couldn't understand how Zhao Zhonghe could have put it on him when Zhao Xuanming lost everything in gambling and was killed by casino staff because he couldn't pay off his gambling debts.
It is true that he and Zhao Xuanming are friends, but in any case, there must be a limit to helping friends, right? Who can afford to go bankrupt to help a friend? Other things are easy to say, but who is willing to pay for gambling debts? If you give the money, it is basically like throwing meat buns at a dog? Over the years, every time he thought of Zhao Xuanming, he felt nothing but regret!
To put it bluntly, helping Zhao Xuanming is a favor, and not helping is his duty!
Cao Yueming, also known as Zhao Zhonghe, obviously didn't want to listen to father Xu's explanation. He looked at the knife in his hand that was sharpened very sharply and said, "You probably don't know what kind of life we will live in the future, right?"
"My father took me and my mother back to my hometown to avoid gambling debts. My hometown was very poor. Standing at the door of my house, I looked around and saw only mountains. I couldn't even see the path out of the city."
"I have to get up at four o'clock every morning, walk over a mountain to go to the village primary school, and finish school at four o'clock in the afternoon. I have to walk until eight o'clock to get home."
"Whenever it rains, I have to get up earlier because the roads are slippery. If I get up late, I will be late for school."
"I lived in poverty for a year. One day when I came back from school, I found that my father had been killed by a debt collector. Do you know how sad I was?"
"My mother said that your vegetable market can sell for 300,000 yuan. The savings of my uncles Huang, Liu, and He plus the retail price can sell for 300,000 yuan. With your savings and the money my father used to mortgage the retail market, my father's gambling debts can be paid off."
"But you selfishly chose to stand by and watch!"
Zhao Zhonghe's eyes were full of hatred: "My mother died of overwork after I entered junior high school. She kept talking about this before she died!"
"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die! But I won't let you die. I want you all to experience the pain of losing a loved one!"
"Uncle Xu, you are the best person to my father. Because of your 20,000 yuan, our family has lived a peaceful life. So I saved the lesson for you for last. You should be grateful to me!"
"Like the other few people, their children, grandchildren, and parents have long since passed away. When their loved ones died, they cried very sadly, just like I did when my parents died."
"I am extremely happy because I have avenged my parents. They died due to your indifference!"
"Uncle Xu, you said at the beginning how great it would be if you could save my dad. My dad worked hard with you to build this business. Even if he lost all his money, wouldn't he be able to start over? My dad was able to work with you once. Wouldn't it be easier for him to work hard the second time?"
"Why can't you help him? Why, why? Aaaaaaaaah?"
Along with the cries of "ah ah", there were the sounds of sharp blades piercing into the human body and the sounds of painful whimpers.
Mother Xu was already in tears, slumped on the ground, and Father Xu's face was full of panic: "Zhonghe, Zhonghe, don't be impulsive, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely, I was wrong at the beginning, I was wrong, don't hurt Simiao, have you forgotten? When she was a child, she followed you all the time and called you brother!"
"Oh? Are you wrong? Then you can crash into the wall and die. If you die, I can let your daughter go."
When Zhao Zhonghe was immersed in hatred, a pair of people unknowingly left the team. They entered the villa on the side and climbed into the backyard of the villa where Zhao Zhonghe was. When Zhao Zhonghe request for father Xu to hit himself to the wall, they took the opportunity to enter the villa through the back door.
