Chapter 21 The Missing Girl
"Okay, now that all the members of Team 7 are here, um... Xia, Ms. Xia, are you also going to join our operation?"
Lin Ziyu is always the one responsible for giving mission briefings. He has no grudges against Xia Yue, but he is introverted by nature. In addition, Xia Yue is a disaster-level alien, so he is naturally a little nervous.
Xia Yue shook her head.
She seemed so cold to everyone except Li Muhan.
"I'm his guarantor and was responsible for bringing him here. Now Team 7 has taken over. I'll be leaving first."
Seeing Xia Yue walking towards the door, all the members of Team 7 except Li Muhan breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a disaster-level anomaly.
Xia Yue, a member of the vampire clan, was a name as terrifying as the god of death in the Special Management Bureau. One could imagine how miserable Li Muhan's life must have been under the supervision of such a person.
When they reached the door, Xia Yue suddenly turned around and everyone became nervous.
But she just looked at Li Muhan and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'll bring some barbecue back tonight. The boss said he can give me the leftovers."
When she said this, there was a hint of anticipation on her face, as if she was waiting for Li Muhan's praise.
Li Muhan did not let her down. He walked up to her with a smile and rubbed her hair.
"No need. I've also received my salary. I'll take you out for dinner tonight and take you shopping for some clothes on the weekend."
"Um......"
Xia Yue lowered her head, her face slightly red.
Li Muhan still found it hard to believe that Xia Yue was working in a barbecue restaurant. It was said that Lin Ze introduced her to that job, so it seemed that the owner of the barbecue restaurant was no ordinary person.
After Xia Yue closed the door, the other members of Team 7 were still talking.
Even Yin Qi, who usually had a blank expression, opened his mouth wide at this moment, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
"What the hell!? That Xia Yue?! You guys!? Li Muhan!? What the hell!? What's going on?!"
Huo Tian couldn't speak clearly. He originally thought that Xia Yue was just Li Muhan's guarantor.
But now it seems that the relationship between these two people is very unusual!
"Mu Han~ What kind of relationship do you have with Miss Xia?"
Su Xue also came over curiously.
"It's unbelievable... I didn't expect that Xia Yue, that natural disaster-level... would be so gentle to others."
Li Muhan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Xia Yue didn't care about her reputation at all.
She was rumored to be a bad girl, even a bitch, in college, and her reputation in this special management bureau was obviously not good either.
After some gossip, everyone finally got to the point.
Lin Ziyu projected the mission information onto the screen and gave an explanation at the same time.
"This mission is a request from the Tianhai City Public Security Bureau. Brother Mu Han is participating in our mission for the first time, so let me briefly explain that the commissions accepted by the Special Management Bureau are basically related to aliens. In other words, incidents involving aliens that human agencies cannot handle will be handed over to our bureau for handling."
Li Muhan listened very carefully and even took notes, which made Lin Ziyu nod his head continuously.
You know, it was the first time that he was treated with such respect during a mission briefing.
Although Huo Tian and the others would listen carefully, they would never give Lin Ziyu such positive feedback.
"The case was originally a common abduction case of a young girl. Last winter, a female employee of a company in Tianhai City suddenly disappeared on her way home from get off work. She was suspected of being abducted."
A photo of a pretty woman appeared on the projection.
"Lv Yue, 24, disappeared while waiting for the bus after get off work last September. Note that she vanished in plain sight. She has yet to be found. She has two elderly family members in the countryside and a boyfriend, who has also been cleared of suspicion."
A surveillance video was played on the projector.
In the picture, Lu Yue, wearing a business suit and carrying a bag, is waiting for the bus while looking at her mobile phone.
But when the time reached 8:24, Lu Yue disappeared without a trace in the next moment, which scared an old man next to her.
But because it was late and there were few people waiting for the bus, only the old man noticed this.
Then a photo of a second woman appeared.
"Zhou Yunyun, 25, a bank employee, disappeared mysteriously two months after Lu Yue's disappearance while traveling with friends to the restroom."
"Next are Kong Yuhua, 23, Zhao Li, 25, and Yang Ying, 22. So far, there have been 15 missing women, the most recent being Qin Yahan, a 22-year-old junior at Tianhai University, two months ago. The common denominator among them is that they disappeared suddenly and without warning."
Li Muhan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Why did he seem to have heard of these events somewhere before?
The serial disappearance of young girls...
etc!
He suddenly turned his head to look at Huo Tian and found that the mockery in the other's eyes was gone.
At this moment, Huo Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the projection, his hands clenched into fists that made a crackling sound.
"That's right."
Lin Ziyu looked at Li Muhan.
"These incidents are exactly the same as the serial disappearance of young girls five years ago..."
Having said that, he suddenly looked at Huo Tian and said.
"I suggest that Team 7 abandon this mission and hand it over to another team."
"No."
Huo Tian stood up and said coldly.
"If it's given to another team, then this matter will be left unresolved."
His eyes were full of anger, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the Special Management Bureau team that handled the matter that year.
Lin Ziyu sighed helplessly.
I had to continue introducing the task.
The Tianhai City police are at their wits' end. These disappearances leave no clues and they have no idea where to start.
So last month, after evaluation, the Special Management Bureau took over the case and conducted a preliminary investigation, and finally pointed the finger at a species of alien called the Zhan Kingdom.
"The 猳国, also known as Mahua, is a mountain spirit native to China. It was first recorded in the 'Soushen Ji', a book written by the Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Gan Bao. This monster resembles a monkey and specializes in abducting women and forcing them to bear children, refusing to let them go home."
"Currently, the Zhan Kingdom only exists in Huaxia. Or, in other words, the Zhan Kingdom is only recorded and supervised by the Huaxia Special Management Bureau."
"Three of us."
Three photos appeared on the projection.
The men in these three photos are no different from ordinary people. They are around forty years old, a little bald, and look like three greasy middle-aged men.
"The first one is from the Xian Kingdom, alias Zhu Qiang. He was first recorded in the archives fifty years ago. He is currently a miner and has little contact with women."
"The second one is from the Xian Kingdom, using the alias Zhang Yue. He was first recorded in the archives thirty years ago. He's currently a sailor, often wandering around, so he can basically be ruled out."
Then a third person appeared on the projection.
"Zhou Zhiguo, first entered into the archives seven years ago, is currently a taxi driver in Tianhai City, and..."
Lin Ziyu looked at Huo Tian and found that the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Zhiguo was almost scary, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"He is also one of the suspects in the serial disappearances of young girls five years ago, and the most likely individual to have committed this crime."
Looking at the somewhat obscene photo of Zhou Zhiguo.
Li Muhan felt a little uncomfortable.
Are those women still alive now? Where are they?
What did he do to those women?
When he thought of this, he felt a chill on his back, and Zhou Zhiguo's eyes seemed to become unusually cold.
"This time...I won't let him get away again."
Huo Tian picked up the tablet and looked at Zhou Zhiguo on the screen.
Boom.
He actually crushed the tablet computer directly.
"Captain!! This is public property!! We're going to deduct money again!!!"
Lin Ziyu's wails echoed in the conference room.
