Jian Jing is missing.

According to the police investigation, the other party drugged her while she was in the bathroom, stuffed her into an oversized suitcase, and left through the back door.

The victim was a popular writer, and the police investigated quickly. After receiving the report, they immediately sealed off the scene and checked the identities of the staff one by one.

A strange thing happened.

Every staff member has his or her own work permit, so the organizer is not so bad at handling such a small matter. But after asking everyone one by one, no staff member was missing.

You know, although outsiders can't tell which employee is responsible for what, the staff are different. Whether it's a makeup artist, a lighting technician, or a photographer, they must know clearly how many people are in their team.

Everyone insisted that no one disappeared today.

There were only two temporary workers, a boy who had just graduated and a girl who was replacing a friend. Their identities and backgrounds were clear.

It could only be that there was a problem with the guests.

The security guard said that all guests could enter the auditorium with an invitation letter, and they could guarantee this. So who left halfway?

According to the parking lot surveillance, a total of three cars left.

The first was the vice president of the publishing house. His mother fell and he was in a hurry to go to the hospital; the second was a star who rushed to the bar after performing a show; the third was an assistant who had a stomachache and left work early to rest.

In addition, a taxi passed by.

According to the driver's recollection, the passenger was a man in a suit, wearing a mask and carrying a large suitcase. He got off the bus at the nearby Park Road Station.

The police checked the street surveillance and tracked him down to the moment he got off the car and entered the park.

Then, he disappeared.

To be more precise, the suitcase disappeared.

No one was seen pushing a large suitcase out of several exits.

The police searched the entire park and finally picked up the suitcase in the pond, which was full of stones. Fortunately, after inspection, no blood was found inside the suitcase.

Jian Jing should still be alive.

And then?

There was no then.

The kidnappers neither contacted the family to ask for a ransom nor left any other clues, making the police's work very difficult.

Ji Feng immediately determined that this was the murderer of the serial murder case that year, and advocated reopening the case, carefully investigating Xue Jun's male relatives, and checking for suspicious elements around her.

But it failed.

The reason is also very realistic. There is no clue that the murderer who kidnapped Jian Jing is the murderer of that year.

The murderer left roses, but there were no roses that year, which is inconsistent with his previous crime style. Even Liu Baofeng's case is the same. Although "The Devil Doctor" was left behind, it had nothing to do with roses.

Others think that this is more like a kidnapping case, or deliberate revenge.

"She helped us solve several cases, and perhaps aroused the hatred of some people." The reason of the bystander is equally sufficient, and even more objective and pertinent. "The serial killer of that year has stopped for a long time, and this is not his crime style."

The most obvious sign of the four cases from 2009 to 2014 is the festival.

And the day of the award ceremony was just an ordinary Saturday.

Just based on this point, Ji Feng's argument was untenable, even if he was forced to say directly: "Teacher Jian said that he would come to find her."

"Is there any evidence?" the leader asked.

He: "...The intuition of the parties involved is very accurate."

Leader: "Then there is no evidence."

They rejected his suggestion and decided: "We should still start with the cases that Jian Jing has participated in. In addition to the relatives of the murderer, I think some of the victims' families are also suspects."

Colleagues responded quickly: "The Fang family? They may indeed be resentful and deliberately retaliate."

"Assign the work." The leader said, arranging everyone to investigate separately, and warned Ji Feng at the same time, "If you act emotionally again, according to the rules, you can only avoid it."

Ji Feng: "Teacher Jian and I are not related, why should I avoid it?"

"Aren't you friends?" The leader's last two words were meaningful.

Ji Feng: "What friends? Acquaintances, just acquaintances, we work together."

The leader stopped talking.

"What friends? Acquaintances, just acquaintances, we work together."

In the dim room, Jian Jing heard a familiar voice. She leaned on the steel bed, with a severe headache. She was confused for a long time before she could tell who was talking.

"Cough." She coughed hard a few times and touched the mineral water bottle beside her pillow, but found that the bottle was empty.

Across the door, the man sat in the shadows and turned off the recording on his phone: "How do you feel?"

She said: "Bored."

"Bored?" He picked up a hairpin on the side. Under the pearl button was an embedded camera, but the wires were all broken and it was useless. "I don't think so."

The main light source in the room was facing the wall. There was an aluminum alloy glass cage on the wall, surrounded on three sides. There was a door on the remaining wall. Inside was a small compartment of three square meters, equipped with a toilet and washing facilities. There

was an 80-centimeter small bed in the cage. The bed sheet was snow-white, and the bed frame was covered with a layer of chiffon white yarn, hanging down loosely, which looked like a prison and a princess's toy house.

This is where Jian Jing was imprisoned for two days.

She was still wearing her custom-made rose dress, but she was barefoot. Her high heels were thrown into a corner by him and the soles had been taken off.

"Pinhole camera, eavesdropping device, positioning chip." He slowly counted the things she brought with him and smiled, "You really put a lot of effort into it for me."

Jian Jing said, "You're not bad either."

"I don't think this is a compliment." He smiled, "Why, are you angry?" His

tone was as if he was coaxing an ignorant little girl.

Jian Jing's throat was itchy: "Water."

He walked over, opened the movable partition at the bottom, and rolled in a bottle of mineral water.

She twisted the bottle cap several times, but still couldn't open it, so she had to bite it with her teeth. After finally opening it, she quickly took a sip to moisten her throat.

"You are too naive to think of using these things to find me." He said, "After so many years, why haven't you learned

your lesson?" He seemed like a helpless head teacher.

Jian Jing asked back, "Did I fail?"

He smiled, crossed his legs, and looked down at her, but his tone was still kind: "If I tell you 'yes', will you be convinced?"

She didn't say anything.

"Of course not," he said, "You still hold out hope, thinking that even without all this, the police can trace me back."

She seemed to be irritated by his casual tone and threw a card: "Your last name is Xue."

"Xue? Oh, yes, they found Xue Jun." He sneered calmly, "This is the first mistake you made. You were too impatient. If you had slowly investigated from Xue Jun's home... Ha, you were impatient and had to lead me into the trap.

"Xiao Jing, I'm also very surprised. In the past few years, I haven't looked for you many times, and I helped you solve a regret. Do you hate me so much?"

He asked slowly, but his eyes gradually became colder: "Because I hurt the man you liked? But listen to how firmly he said it. What friend? Just an acquaintance. "

Jian Jing was silent for a while, turned his eyes away, and said lightly: "He is right, we are just acquaintances."

He chuckled, as if joking: "Let's talk about your second mistake, the beauty trap is really effective, I never expected that you would become what you are today - although I once hoped, but I know better that there are very few perfect souls, most people are just stubborn stones, no matter how they are carved, they can never become beautiful jade - you gave me a big surprise, only this point, you bet right."

"I really can't let you go." He admired the girl in the glass house, praising her beauty and courage.

It must be said that her resistance made things more interesting. However, wasn't the reason for choosing this child that year due to this point?

"But if you think that this can deal with me, you overestimate yourself. "He smiled, every word was as sharp as a knife," You always make the same mistake. "

The same mistake?

Jian Jing sat up straight suddenly, squinted her eyes and stared at him, as if trying to discern something.

But it was no use, her contact lenses were taken off by him, and only a blurry shadow was cast on her highly myopic retina.

"You don't remember? It doesn't matter." He pressed the button in his hand and said slowly, "I can slowly take you back to your memories."

In the glass house, beams of anesthetic mist sprayed out from the embedded plastic tubes, filling the entire room.

Her consciousness gradually sank, but did not sink to the deepest point. She was suspended neither up nor down. The surroundings were pitch black. As far as the eye could see, there was only a circle of faint white light.

He turned off the other lights and walked to the front of the glass house.

"Come on. "He said, "Let me take you back to find those things you have forgotten."

-

Jian Jing's consciousness awakened in 2014.

She saw a busy hotel with high-end decoration. There were luxury cars parked in front of the door. Porsche and Maserati were everywhere, and BMW and Mercedes were numerous. It was clearly an extremely high-end private restaurant.

However, at the door of such a hotel, a taxi suddenly stopped.

A family of three got out of the car.

The couple was young, dressed neatly but not high-end. They were very ordinary people, doing the most ordinary jobs. business, the most normal business.

Before they even entered the door, they were intimidated by the passing cars and showed obvious intention to retreat.

To be honest, a meal in this kind of restaurant would cost more than a few thousand yuan for three people. During the Chinese New Year or other festivals, a table of meals would cost about the same price. It's not that ordinary families can't afford this money, but they are reluctant to spend so much money on a simple meal outside of the Chinese New Year.

But their little daughter didn't think so.

She told the waiter very clearly: "Box 202, last name Jian."

The waiter smiled and led the way: "Okay, please go this way. "

Turning his head, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes: the little girl is vain and insists on eating in a high-end restaurant without considering her parents' economic level. Anyone with a correct outlook will have some resentment.

Who would have thought that after her parents sat down, they took the menu and took the initiative to "complain" to the waiter, saying: "The food here is too expensive. My daughter insisted on bringing me and her mother here to eat. She said it was Michelin or something and she insisted that we try it."

The waiter smiled: "Your daughter loves you."

"She wants to spend the money she earns." The father continued to "complain", "She said to save it, but she refused. We can't do anything about her, so we have to enjoy our daughter's blessing in advance. "

The waiter understood now and

looked at them with new eyes. It turned out that the daughter was not vain and forcing her parents to spend money. Instead, she earned her own money and wanted to treat her parents to a good meal. He was amazed and talked about it with his colleagues when ordering food.

The new manager asked, "This must be a very happy family, right?"

"Yes," said the waiter, "it's better to have daughters. They are filial and obedient."

The manager smiled.
