Chapter 8
Temporary Notice...
Ji Yile really couldn't adapt to this sudden overtime work.
Especially late at night, when Ji Yile had just fallen asleep.
He walked out of the balcony again, blowing the cold wind expressionlessly. Ji Yile's brain seemed to have crashed, and he couldn't think of anything at all.
"A-choo!" After sneezing, Ji Yile suddenly remembered that he had to act quickly.
He quickly ran into the bathroom, and in a short while, he was the coolest guy in the whole building.
However, until he met Zhong Wenxu, Ji Yile was still very confused.
Why do I have to work overtime suddenly?
They did not return to the office, nor did they meet up with Lan Xin. When Zhong Wenxu saw Ji Yile arrive, he headed straight to the destination.
The place where they gathered was downstairs of the dormitory. There was also a person missing in Wumen Community. Their first task now was to go to the home of the missing person to find out the situation.
The missing person in Wumen Community is called Xiao Ming, 38 years old, and lived with his parents in Room 1606, 16th Floor, Building C.
Before he disappeared, Xiao Ming was on his way home from work and chatting with his parents. But after a commotion, Xiao Ming lost contact.
At first, Xiao Ming's parents didn't take it seriously until they heard the news that Xiao Ming's colleague was missing, and then they realized that the matter was serious.
As he went upstairs, Ji Yile asked in confusion, "Since they heard the unexpected noise, why didn't they suspect anything and report it? And since they eat together every day, wouldn't they be surprised that Xiao Ming didn't come back for dinner?"
Zhong Wenxu was silent for a moment, then said, "Ask them when you get up there."
Ji Yile nodded, this must be clarified.
When taking the elevator to 16, Ji Yile and his friend had a small accident. The elevator stopped halfway and even the elevator lights were turned off.
Standing in the elevator, hanging in the air, Ji Yile suddenly became a little nervous. And the power was out, so they kept pressing the emergency button. Unfortunately, it was useless, and Ji Yile could only calm himself down.
The most frightening thing at this moment is losing one's mind. Ji Yile took a deep breath, then leaned against the wall and pressed the emergency device. All that was left was to wait for the monitoring room to see their situation.
Instead, Zhong Wenxu said to him excitedly: "Why don't we break it out from inside!"
Ji Yile refused, even if it was a special case or self-help, he might have to pay for damaging public property. Thinking about his salary during the probation period and the salary after becoming a regular employee, he could not afford to pay for the damage to the elevator, so Ji Yile shook his head vigorously.
"We can't afford the compensation!" Ji Yile said seriously.
Zhong Wenxu wiped his face, sighed and said, "Okay!"
After telling Lan Xin about the situation and asking for help, the two of them squatted in a corner of the elevator and waited silently for rescue.
So much so that after the master opened the elevator door, he looked at the two of them with surprise.
Climbing from the 10th floor to the 16th floor, not only Zhong Wenxu was complaining, but even Ji Yile felt painful.
"Ah! I didn't feel it before, but now I feel it after the accident. Our community is so poor! There are 19 floors, 6 households on each floor, but there is only one elevator. It's so unscientific!"
"That's right!" Zhong Wenxu kept nodding in agreement.
"I don't know who designed it. I'll complain after I finish working overtime!" Ji Yile continued.
Although he wasn't tired, it didn't stop Ji Yile from continuing to complain.
"I'm going too!" Zhong Wenxu raised his hands in support.
The rainstorm came suddenly, with strong winds and heavy rain, roaring thunder, and lightning tearing the dark clouds apart. The two stood in the corridor on the 16th floor, looking outside in surprise.
"Oh my God, the rain starts suddenly? There's no sign at all." Ji Yile said sullenly.
Zhong Wenxu glanced at the situation outside, then said with a smile, "Maybe it will be over by the time we get out."
Ji Yile immediately said, "It's very likely! It was probably a love affair."
The door of Room 1606 was not closed, and Ji Yile could vaguely see the light inside.
It was dark inside, but in the darkness there were faint flashes of lightning and flickering red lights.
Zhong Wenxu had already taken out a pair of scissors, some paper balls in his hand, and a complete A4 paper.
Ji Yile took a look, mustered up the courage to walk over and knock on the door.
"Room 1606, is Xiao Ming's family here?" Ji Yile asked politely.
"Who?" A hoarse voice came from inside. The voice sounded very far away and weak. Ji Yile couldn't tell whether the speaker was a man or a woman.
"We are from the General Affairs Department, and we are here to learn about Xiao Ming's disappearance. Are you Xiao Ming's family member?" Ji Yile said patiently, then sniffed hard.
There was a slight smell of blood in room 1606. It wasn't very strong, but Ji Yile still smelled it. He lowered his head and tapped the pen on the notebook.
The staff of the General Affairs Department all have service belts equipped with various weapons.
Ji Yile carefully held the hand in his hand, ready for battle. Zhong Wenxu, long before Ji Yile knocked on the door, had already blown the paper ball away and cut out two human-shaped paper cutouts, holding them in his hands.
The paper ball was blown into Room 1606. Ji Yile looked back in confusion, then stared at Room 1606 cautiously.
The tables and chairs were pushed and there was a sound of glass falling. After a while, the light in Room 1606 was turned on, and Ji Yile saw a woman who was wet all over and had tired eyes walking out.
"I am Xiao Ming's mother." The woman said to Ji Yile.
Ji Yile looked Xiao Ming's mother up and down, and then said, "I heard that your son is missing. When he disappeared, you and your husband were still talking to Xiao Ming."
Xiao Ming's mother said slowly: "That's right."
Ji Yile asked quickly: "Did you hear what happened to Xiao Ming at that time? Did he say anything? Or what was his accent?"
There is basically no surveillance in Area A. If it weren't for the efforts of the Public Security Department, residents of Area A might still be frequently fighting in the streets.
After hearing Ji Yile's question, Xiao Ming's mother looked at Ji Yile with a blank expression, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"..." Ji Yile pursed his lips. He had a headache when he encountered such a situation. He sighed, looked at the structure of the room inconspicuously, and then said, "Did Xiao Ming hear any fighting or screaming during the call?"
Xiao Ming's mother moved her lips and flexed her fingers slightly, then shook her head and said, "No."
Ji Yile was silent for a moment, staring into Xiao Ming's mother's eyes and saw the flicker in her eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "If we want to find Xiao Ming, your clues are very important."
"..." Xiao Ming's mother looked away, took a step back, and finally said, "I don't know."
Ji Yile looked back at Zhong Wenxu, who smiled and said, "Why not ask Xiao Ming's father?"
Ji Yile watched him tilt his head and look at him with a smile, or maybe he was looking at Xiao Ming's mother behind him.
Xiao Ming's mother shook her head frantically and said in a sharp voice, "No, he's not here."
Zhong Wenxu also agreed with her, with a strange smile, staring at Xiao Ming's mother's belly and said, "Yes, he is not here."
At this time, all the blown paper balls appeared beside Xiao Ming's mother and surrounded her.
Xiao Ming's mother suddenly looked at Ji Yile fiercely, and Ji Yile was frightened by her fierce look.
He smelled the stench coming from Xiao Ming's mother's mouth. The rotten smell from overnight made his stomach churn.
Although it was a bit rude, Ji Yile still covered his mouth.
Xiao Ming's mother's hair suddenly flew forward. Ji Yile was quick-witted and subconsciously raised his hand to grab her hair.
The body has memory. Ji Yile turned around, pulled hard, and fell!
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Before she could resist, Xiao Ming’s mother was thrown to the ground by Ji Yile.
Ji Yile was stunned for a moment, silently looked down at his hands, then quietly stepped back and walked into room 1606.
Zhong Wenxu, who was outside, looked at Xiao Ming's mother who was thrown to the ground and the cracks on the ground. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Xiao Ming's mother's eyes rolled up, leaving only bloodshot whites and a long tongue that was unlike that of a normal person.
"Ahem!" Zhong Wenxu kicked the paper ball beside him away, and then said to Ji Yile, "While the insider is fainted, let's go in and see if there are any clues?"
Although he felt that it was not good to enter someone else's home without consent, after Ji Yile found out that he had actually entered, he had no choice but to nod, "Okay."
He walked in quietly and looked at the furnishings in the house carefully.
After walking in, there was a storage cabinet. Then there was a pot of Piranha Plant. Ji Yile watched it arrogantly stretch out its branches to bite at him, and then he quickly twisted it off and stepped hard under his feet.
His hands also became busy, and he quickly wrote in his notebook that there was an aggressive plant (Piranha Plant) hidden in Room 1606, which was obstructing official duties and deliberately injuring staff, so he was killed directly.
On the left side are the toilet and the kitchen. Ji Yile looked at the iron pot in the kitchen, which contained a long piece of something that looked like intestines. He immediately made a note of it. According to his intuition, Ji Yile felt that this thing was a little suspicious.
Xiao Ming is missing, and his family is considered a victim's family. However, his family is not cooperative and even a little suspicious. Coupled with the weapons (piranha plants) and the unidentified large intestines in the house, Ji Yile suspects that Xiao Ming's family is involved in some illegal behavior. Although Xiao Ming's mother is a victim, if these things are found out, she may also be the perpetrator of another case. So, one thing is one thing, and we have to deal with it!
He found a transparent bag and gloves in his service belt, and then put the intestines in it in one go.
The toilet was even more outrageous, he had already seen something that looked like a human head.
He was still wearing gloves, and then he walked out of the door holding the head, and asked Zhong Wenxu, "Brother Xu, is this a human head?"
