Loxin Amusement Park
"Once confirmed, the missing person case will become a murder case, and we will restart the investigation. I'm here today hoping you can recall what happened on the day your wife disappeared."
The police officer had already turned on the recording equipment and was taking notes in a notebook.
Seeing that Cai Li didn't speak, the pen tip paused on the paper: "That's right, we also hope that the matter can be resolved as soon as possible and the investigation can be accelerated."
Cai Li glanced at the small camera on the table and sighed, "Ever since Nuo Xin disappeared from my side, I always recall every detail of what happened that day, wondering why I left because of the amusement park incident first, leaving her to go out alone later."
"According to the files from that year, your wife disappeared on the day of the amusement park's seventh anniversary celebration. Did she behave in any strange ways before that?"
The younger of the two spoke first, his tone a little more urgent, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a bit of pressure at the end of his voice.
"Let Mr. Cai think about it carefully. It is indeed too long."
The other police officer was very polite and took over the conversation naturally.
The slightly immature young police officer next to me had just joined the police station in the first half of the year and was assigned to me.
It is a master-apprentice relationship, and being able to participate in such cases is a very good training opportunity.
Although he was sometimes silly, it could occasionally produce unexpected results. His bland words of discipline showed that he did not really care about his apprentice's abruptness.
"Don't worry about it. I've never forgotten what happened that day."
Cai Li continued, "It's our wedding anniversary, a date we both consider very important. It also falls on the same day as the amusement park's anniversary celebration. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we even double-checked the procedures that require our participation."
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door, brought in a pot of fine black tea, and placed the cups in front of the people.
The old police officer made a gesture of smelling the tea: "Such a good tea, of course I have to taste it carefully. I'll do it myself."
The secretary paused, glanced at Cai Li's expression, and then responded, "Okay, please call me if you need anything."
"Can I understand why you didn't go out together that day?"
"The main reason is that I want Nuoxin to have more rest. There is no need for him to go with me so early. Who knows..." Cai Li shook his head.
"The surveillance footage from the villa showed that Ms. Cheng left the gate alone on foot and did not use the family car. What was the reason for this?"
Cai Li hissed, "I find this strange too. Perhaps she called another car from outside. Unfortunately, surveillance wasn't widespread at the time. After Nuo Xin left the villa, we couldn't find out which direction she went."
They searched the exit of the villa and all nearby monitored areas, but no trace of her was found.
This person seemed to have disappeared from the world, no one saw him alive or dead.
Because Cai Li was a well-known entrepreneur, his disappearance caused quite a stir in the city and attracted a lot of attention.
In order to control public opinion, the police naturally mobilized police forces to conduct a thorough search.
However, there were too few clues to find, so the case eventually became an unsolved case and was never resolved.
"This is going to be difficult," the young police officer said, resting his chin on the hand holding the pen. "If the identity is confirmed, do you have any suspects, such as those who had ill intentions towards you in the past?"
Cai Li paused and said, "To be honest, after the police closed the case, I used my own methods to secretly search for a long time, and I thought of someone."
"Who is it?" The young police officer stood up and leaned forward slightly, his thoughts carried away.
"His name is Yu Jian. We met in college. We had a good relationship at first, but he later became addicted to gambling and kept asking me to borrow money to pay off his debts. I did help him a few times at first, but then I didn't want him to continue to sink into despair, so I stopped using money to help him."
Cai Li fell into reminiscence: "After that, he really didn't contact me again. I thought he had come to his senses, but not long after, Nuo Xin disappeared. It was inevitable that I would think of him."
"If you had doubts, why didn't you tell the police?" The old police officer raised the question, feeling that what he said was somewhat contradictory.
Cai Li looked somewhat helpless. "The case had been closed for a long time, and since I didn't have any solid evidence, I didn't want to waste police resources, so I didn't bring it up again."
After noting down Yu Jian's name, the young police officer asked for some information related to him. He then passed the information back to the police station and asked his colleagues to conduct a simultaneous investigation.
After searching and screening, we can determine the person's current living situation.
"So you didn't find anything suspicious about Yu Jian?"
Cai Li crossed his hands and placed them on the table: "In fact, I didn't find him at all that time."
The young police officer was surprised: "He's missing too?"
"I found her mother in her hometown. I heard that Yu Jian told her that he owed too much money and was going out to hide for a while. So I guess he fled to some remote place. Nuo Xin's disappearance probably has nothing to do with him."
"But now that I think about it, if Nuo Xin was really murdered, there might be other possibilities."
…
"Thank you for your cooperation. We will notify you if there is any news."
The office door was pushed open, and the old police officer took the initiative to shake hands.
"Of course, please keep in touch with me. If it is confirmed that it is really Nuoxin, I..." Cai Li's voice choked up for a while when he said this. He really looked like a widower who missed his deceased wife.
"Mr. Cai, don't worry too much. We'll leave first."
The special elevator always stopped at the top floor. The two police officers walked in and took the most central position.
The walls of the elevator were emitting a cold silver light, and it was easy to feel depressed if one stayed here for a long time.
The elevator door slowly closed, as if separating the two worlds inside and outside. After a few seconds, the expressions of the people inside and outside changed differently.
"This Cai Li is so good at disguising himself that you can't spot any flaws." The young police officer who looked a little green just now now looked much more respectable.
The deliberate display of nervousness is just an attempt to make the other party let down their guard.
But unexpectedly, I still couldn't get any useful information from the other party.
"Just wait, the fox's tail will be exposed eventually." The old police officer looked at the rapidly changing numbers on the electronic screen, which looked like some kind of countdown.
*
At six o'clock in the afternoon, which was the rush hour on the city's roads, one of the cars suddenly accelerated to a stop in front of the retractable door of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Bureau with a sudden brake.
The security guard on duty heard the harsh noise, noticed the license plate number, and let the car in directly.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to walk into the police station so brazenly." Gao Wenwen got out of the car and stretched.
Thinking about it, I have only been to the police station when applying for an ID card, which is not exactly the same as here.
He looked around a few times, it was just an open space outside, and there didn't seem to be anything special.
Seeing Lin He coming out of the hall, Gao Wenwen waved to him in a good mood: "I'm here."
"Go in quickly and don't show off outside, or you'll be in the social news." Shi Yan passed by him and hit him on the back with her open palm.
Gao Wenwen rubbed it with his backhand and complained softly, "Sister Yanzi, can you please consider my body? I'm still growing."
"According to official statistics, your height is already much higher than the national average for young men. Don't worry too much."
Shi Yan chose to ignore it and also gave a thoughtful explanation.
After chatting for a few words, they arrived at the service hall.
Although the space here is quite large, there are more people than expected.
In the corner, there were people who had been fighting somewhere and were undergoing civil mediation. They were already reeking of alcohol at this hour, and no one knew when they started drinking.
Many of the people involved and their families came, and their chatter gave the police officers in charge of the case a headache, so they had to patiently persuade them.
In such a short while, the phone rang several times.
Compared to the peaceful appearance on the outside, it is a completely different situation.
Lin He came over to pick them up and walked to the other side. He nodded to the person on duty at the door, and the password door was opened. Several people walked into the passage.
"You just came in today, right? Why do people here seem so familiar with you?"
Gao Wenwen scratched his head, feeling that the scene he was seeing was unreal.
They actually walked into the police station so brazenly, and it seemed that the people around them were very cooperative. Don't they even need to investigate their identities?
"I've spent more time with you than you, so of course I'm more familiar with you. Come in, this is the room."
Lin He didn't think he really had such great power. With so many eyes in the police station, even if there were no police officers accompanying him, his every move would be monitored.
Moreover, after he expressed his intention to provide clues this afternoon, although there were no flaws in his words, he knew that these people's doubts about him had not disappeared much.
This place is more like a small office for official business. There are even two stools in front of a desk. It seems that the space is very small.
Gao Wenwen was the first to notice the person in the room and his eyes widened: "Aren't you the one from the amusement park today?"
Not far in front of him, the person standing was the only one who stood up to explore what was inside the pillar during the riot today.
Although the police came later and I knew he was from the police station, I was still surprised to see him here.
Lin He introduced, "This is Yang Jie, deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation detachment."
"Hello, I'm Yang Jie." The man stepped forward.
To be honest, although he was in his own territory, the most shocked person in the room was Yang Jie.
Just now, he heard Lin He say that several of his friends needed to come to the police station to hide for their safety, and they were also related to the case. He was still wondering who they were.
But when I saw Gao Wenwen's familiar face, I finally understood.
It turns out that the accident that happened in the amusement park today was not accidental, but someone deliberately wanted to expose it in public.
He deliberately let more people present know that someone had hidden a body in the carousel. Even if he was not there today, it would only delay the progress of the case investigation for a little while.
