Chapter 150 150 Here is a missing person case file that just disappeared for two days...

As planned, after leaving Dr. Hu's house, Guan Xia and the others went to the Nanping Branch.

However, to be on the safe side, Ji An drove around the city twice, taking some hidden paths to make sure that no one was following them before driving into the parking lot of the Nanping Branch.

As they got out of the car, Guan Xia sighed, "This case we're investigating feels really furtive. Now, wherever I go, I'm habitually looking around, afraid I'll miss any suspicious individuals."

"After all, this criminal organization is so large and ruthless," Jiang Yingyao said as he closed the car door. "We'd better be cautious."

Guan Xia followed the two to Captain Zhou's office and asked curiously, "Sister Ji, has this been your way of investigating cases since you left the police force?"

Jiang Yingyao was also very interested in Guan Xia's question and turned to look over.

Ji An smiled and said, "After all, I've left the police force. Without that identity, I have to be sneaky. Otherwise, if someone finds out, it'll be hard to explain. It was very difficult to adapt to it at first, but I gradually got used to it."

Jiang Yingyao pressed on, "Is Xiao Lu like this too?"

Guan Xia recalled Lu Tingfeng's style and was a little skeptical.

Ji An smiled and nodded again. "Guan Xia, don't be fooled by his nonchalant appearance. He's actually quite cautious and a better actor than I am. He even went undercover at a club to investigate a case. And he really acted like one. The tips he received every day were higher than his salary. The boss and several customers even tried to persuade him to quit being a waiter and find something more lucrative. Luckily, he found the clue quickly, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to keep up the act."

Guan Xia was stunned by what she heard and could hardly control her laughter. Jiang Yingyao had seen a lot of the world, so he didn't laugh out loud, but the expression on his face was quite interesting.

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of Captain Zhou's criminal police team's office. Before they could knock, the door was opened first. Lu Tingfeng appeared behind the door, squinting his eyes and said in a dangerous tone: "What are you talking about so happily? Why did I hear my name?"

Guan Xia and Jiang Yingyao looked at each other, lowered their heads in tacit understanding and said nothing, then squeezed past Lu Tingfeng.

Ji An was very skilled at playing dumb. "You have such sharp ears! We were just talking about you, your previous great achievements, and how we overcame all difficulties and obtained the key evidence under your leadership."

Lu Tingfeng was obviously not someone to be trifled with, but before he could even open his mouth, Ji An had already pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Wang Yu, who was still busy with his work, and asked, "How's it going, Wang Yu? Did you gain anything?"

Wang Yu took the time to raise his head, handed over a few case files, and said, "We have made some discoveries. They are all here. Take a look."

Ji An took it and asked as he flipped through it, "Where are Captain Zhou and the others? Why are there only the two of you?"

Lu Tingfeng closed the door and walked back, saying, "Xu Nian called him away. Qi Bai sent a message in the group chat saying he had made a new discovery. Didn't you notice?"

Guan Xia shook her head honestly, "I've been working all morning and haven't had time to check the news. Did they tell me about any new discoveries?"

Lu Tingfeng said, "It must be a bit urgent. They didn't elaborate on it in the group chat, just said this. Then Captain Zhou and the others who stayed in the office to help us left."

No wonder there are only two of them in such a big office.

Guan Xia and Jiang Yingyao also came to Ji An and each took a case file to look through it.

Before reading it, Guan Xia had already anticipated what would be written on it. Sure enough, it was just as Guan Xia thought, it was about missing persons.

Guan Xia flipped through the information quickly, glancing over the identity information of the missing persons and focusing his attention on the subsequent police investigations into the missing persons' past movements. As Guan Xia had guessed, there was a link to the Health and Physical Examination Center.

After confirming that there was indeed a problem with this medical examination center, Guan Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little nervous. After all, this medical examination center had been in Shangshuang City for more than ten years and was a chain. No one knew how many people had fallen victim to it.

After confirming that it was indeed related to Kangjian Physical Examination Center, Guan Xia went back and looked at the identity information of the missing person again.

She was a 22-year-old young woman, a college student. She disappeared on May 19, 2022. The day of her disappearance was a weekend. She had originally made an appointment with her roommate to go shopping, but her roommate had something urgent to do, so she went alone. Unexpectedly, she never came back.

After the roommate could not contact the person that night, he called the police. Although the police did not officially file the case until May 21, they started the investigation after the roommate called the police. Unfortunately, after a long investigation, they still could not find any effective clues.

Guan Xia read on and finally saw that the missing female college student had gone to the Kangjian Physical Examination Center for a physical examination three months before her disappearance. Calculating the time, it was exactly the winter vacation at that time, which was normal.

However, what surprised Guan Xia was that this was not the first time the missing female college student had a physical examination. She had already had two physical examinations before, and this time, a total of three times, with an average of one to two years for a physical examination, a total of four and a half years. No wonder the police had not found anything unusual.

Seeing this, Guan Xia pondered for a moment and said, "It seems this Kangjian Medical Examination Center really has big plans. This missing person here went missing four and a half years after his first medical examination at Kangjian Medical Examination Center. Either they have a new major client, or an old client just fell ill. In either case, they are using the entire population of Shangshuang City as an organ bank and randomly selecting organs. It's simply insane."

"My situation is similar," Jiang Yingyao said, raising the case file in his hand. "It's a 17-year-old kid, a sports student and a national second-level athlete. I don't know how they took him away. He's been missing for three years, and there's been no news of him since."

Ji An remained silent while the two of them spoke. After a moment, Ji An said, "My case is a little different. It's only been three days since I had my physical examination, and before the report was even out, he was kidnapped. He was a 46-year-old middle-aged man, but he wasn't in good health. He had been in a car accident years ago and was paralyzed from the waist down. The day he disappeared was fine, and it was a weekend. His children took him to a park near the community, and he disappeared while he was using the restroom. We haven't found him yet."

Everyone sighed after hearing this, and no one had the energy to discuss. Their previous speculations were confirmed, and all their minds were focused on digesting this information.

Ever since Guan Xia activated the system and learned that this was a world fused with criminal investigation and literature, she had been mentally prepared for the crime rate and brutality of the murderers in this world. However, when she really found out about a case that was beyond her knowledge, it was still so unbelievable that she felt a tightness in her chest and a feeling of nausea.

Before Guan Xia could calm down, Wang Yu suddenly spoke up, his voice tinged with surprise, "Brother Jiang, come and take a look. There's a missing person case file here. It's been missing for two days, and the police station in charge of the case are still investigating."

Guan Xia was cheered up after hearing this. He rushed over with one step and almost snatched the case file from Wang Yu's hand with a rough movement.

Wang Yu didn't care about Guan Xia's actions, but his eyes subconsciously followed her movements, and he said, "It's a 6-year-old child. The day we arrived in Shangshuang City, that is, around 2:00 p.m. on the 9th, the confession said that the child refused to take a nap that day and insisted on going out to play. The adults at home had gone to work, and only the grandparents were at home. The grandmother was busy making dumplings, so the grandfather took the child to play in the community. That day, someone in the community was playing chess in the shade, and the old man went over to watch for a while. In a blink of an eye, the child disappeared. After receiving the alarm, the police from the police station checked the surveillance cameras in the community. They only saw that the child followed the old man at first, but soon felt bored and ran to the swing to swing, but the swing was too hot. He cried twice, but soon his attention was attracted by something in the blind spot of the surveillance, and then he ran to the blind spot of the surveillance and disappeared."

Lu Tingfeng responded quickly, "Then let's go to the local police station that received the call right now. The child has only been missing for two days, so there's still a good chance we can find him. We might be able to find something."

Although Guan Xia was concentrating on the case file, he didn't miss what the two said. Upon hearing this, he immediately closed the file and nodded, saying, "Okay, we'll leave now. We can still read the case file in the car."

The group of five people went downstairs quickly. This time, Lu Tingfeng was driving. It was not rush hour, so Lu Tingfeng almost drove the car into the air. However, because there were few cars, the car was very stable, which did not affect Guan Xia and Ji An from squeezing together to look at the case files.

Guan Xia flipped through the pages quickly and finally found a few words about Kangjian Physical Examination Center in the family's confession. According to the mother of the missing child, the child had been having physical examinations at Kangjian Physical Examination Center regularly since he was four years old. It had been just a week since the last physical examination. There were a lot of people that day. She and the child's father took the child and met two strange people at the door of the physical examination center. They came up to them and talked to them, asking how old the child was and how pretty he was, and so on. They were always vigilant whenever they were with the child, so they didn't dare to talk and just left with the child. Later, thinking back, they wondered if the child was targeted at that time.

Seeing this, Guan Xia went back to look at the photo of the child. It was a 6-year-old boy. Although he was a boy, he looked a bit like a girl. He was very delicate, with big, round eyes, and wore brightly colored clothes. At first glance, he could easily be mistaken for a girl. He was indeed good-looking.

Guan Xia flipped back two pages, returning her attention to the section about the child's mother's testimony regarding the Kangjian Medical Checkup Center. She asked Ji An, "Sister Ji, what do you think? Could the two suspicious individuals mentioned by the child's mother actually be human traffickers?"

Guan Xia and Ji An finished reading it, so Ji An casually handed the case file to Jiang Yingyao, who was sitting in the passenger seat. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we go to the local police station and ask. If it's true, that's great. The child is most likely still alive, but it's just a matter of whether we can find him. If not..."

Guan Xia didn't say anything. Two days might not sound like a long time, but for those who were eager to use the child's organs to save their lives, two days was enough time to find a way to get the child on the operating table.

However, although she was not very optimistic, Guan Xia still prayed sincerely, hoping that those people would not act so quickly and that they would have enough time to get the child back and reduce one victim.

After leaving the Nanping Branch, it only took more than 20 minutes to reach the local police station where the case was being investigated.

The young female police officer who met them said, "It just so happens that Sister Cao and the others in charge of this missing person case just left. I heard they seem to have found the couple suspected of being human traffickers that the missing child's mother mentioned. They've only been gone for about ten minutes. If you chase them now, you can still catch them. I'll call and get their address."

Before the policewoman finished speaking, Guan Xia said anxiously, "Thank you for your help."

The policewoman realized the seriousness of the case from Guan Xia and the others' attitude. Without a word, she pulled out her phone and made a call. After a few seconds, she hung up and said, "I found out they're not far away. The couple works at the nearby Juntai Shopping Mall. You can drive there in about ten minutes. Sister Cao said you should call her when you get there. They'll be waiting at the door. But to avoid disrupting their work, it's best not to have too many people there. I'll give you Sister Cao's phone number now."

After noting down the number the policewoman had given them, they hurriedly said their goodbyes and jumped back into the car. As soon as they saw the mall in the distance, Lu Tingfeng couldn't wait to contact the number. After a brief conversation, he hung up and said, "They've already met the couple. They said they'll take them to the delivery entrance backstage at the mall to meet us. When we get there, Guan Xia and Wang Yu can go. You two are young and female, so you won't be conspicuous."

Guan Xia and Wang Yu, who was sitting next to her, both responded.

Before the car stopped, Guan Xia saw four people standing next to a glass door: two policemen and a couple who looked to be in their forties. Although they were standing in a corner, because they were in uniform, people still looked at them with curious and gossipy eyes from time to time.

When Guan Xia saw the couple for the first time, she felt both relieved and encouraged. The reason was simple: her intuitive reminder was not triggered.

This shows that the couple were indeed ordinary people, not the human traffickers they had suspected. So the child’s disappearance was not an ordinary human trafficking case, but was indeed related to the Kangjian Physical Examination Center, that is, the criminal organization.

Because Wang Yu had already gotten out of the car and the door was open, Guan Xia couldn't say it directly, so she could only pull Ji An before getting out of the car. When Ji An looked at her, she shook her head implicitly, giving Ji An a hint that he could definitely understand, and then got out of the car very quickly.

Perhaps because two police officers had already arrived, and now two more had arrived, even though no one else knew, the couple, knowing their identities, felt a little nervous and subconsciously swallowed. The middle-aged woman in the couple whispered, "I... we really didn't break the law. We're both law-abiding citizens and have never done anything bad in our lives."

The middle-aged man in the couple then said nervously, "Yes, officer, you can investigate, go ahead. We're just a little talkative and we like children. We always like to tease them when we see them. We really don't have any bad intentions. Our own child died of illness five or six years ago, and we didn't want another one later. We can't help but envy the well-behaved, beautiful children, so we came up to talk to them. I swear, officer, we were just teasing the children, we really didn't have any other intentions."

Before Guan Xia and Wang Yu could speak, the two of them told them everything that happened that day.

They also went for a physical examination that day. They had just finished the examination and were trying to get a taxi at the door. However, it was crowded that day and they couldn't get one for a long time. They saw the missing child passing by. He was very pretty and was held in his father's arms. He was looking around curiously, and his big round eyes were very pleasing to the eye. In addition, it was still early and they couldn't get a taxi, so they went up to him and tried to talk to him.

As a result, the child was not afraid of strangers and gave the two of them a sweet smile, but the child's parents glared at them as if they were guarding against thieves, and trotted away with the child in their arms.

Although they were quite embarrassed at the time, they didn't take it seriously. Who could have imagined that the police would come to their door two days later?

As the couple spoke, they murmured to Guan Xia and the others, "Luckily, the two police officers called ahead and didn't go straight to the office. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how long their colleagues would have been talking about them behind their backs."
