Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 191: Day 187 of Being a Boss (Missing Task Force)

On the other side, Wu Darong actually found a useful clue at Huadong Station - he found an old photo here.

There was a photo of Jiang Shunying and several other boys in it, and it was taken fifteen years ago. Wu Darong recalled the clues from yesterday and had a bad feeling in his heart.

The Jiang Shunying that Li Zhengxiu asked them to find might not have run away with a man as the group of aunts said, but might have died fifteen years ago.

Would a woman who has intellectual disabilities but loves her children very much and is willing to spend every penny she has on her children and leave nothing for herself have the heart to abandon her children and elope with someone else?

Ji Xiuxian, who was in charge of investigating the death warning of Father Paul, finally found the priest's residence, but he was a step too late. When he went there, Father Paul had already hanged himself in the cabin.

He stood in the wooden house and replayed the scene based on the situation inside the house. He sensed that the killer was angry when he killed people, but the forensic doctor told him that Father Paul committed suicide.

The case became more confusing.

Judging from the scene, Li Zhengxiu was quite angry when he was in this wooden house, and judging from the time of death, this was the starting point of this series of murders.

At this moment, the forensic doctor found a new note from the deceased's throat, on which was written a new string of numbers -.

Just when Ji Xiuxian was confused, he received a call from Wu Dayong: "Hey, Detective Wu?"

Wu Darong reported his progress to him: "We didn't find the person, but only found a photo, which I have sent to you."

"Okay, I got it." Ji Xiuxian hung up the phone and opened the picture that Wu Dayong had just sent, only to find that the time on the photo was the same as the number on the note they had just found.

It turns out it refers to December 1989, 12, when the photo was taken.

Looking at the other boys in the photo, Ji Xiuxian suddenly connected them to the people who had been killed before.

Shin Ji-sub (xie) and Min Jae-il, who died as their lives were slowly consumed by IV drips, doctor Lee Cheon-kyun, who was impaled on a cross, and priest Joo Won-hyung, who was found today to have "committed suicide" in the wooden house.

These four victims and Jiang Shunying, who they previously thought had no connection, appeared in the same photo.

At this moment, Ji Xiuxian felt that a huge net was spread out in front of him. He seemed to have grasped something, but the key part was obscured by the fog.

There is no connection between these victims and the missing person Jiang Shunying whom Li Zhengxiu asked them to find, and the suspect Li Zhengxiu. But if there is really no connection, why would he kill people? And why did he ask them to find a woman who has been missing for fifteen years?

Wu Darong also expanded the search for missing clues from living people to unidentified corpses. Although there was not enough evidence to confirm, he inexplicably felt that the woman Li Zhengxiu asked them to find was likely dead.

After looking through photos of the bodies of more than 500 missing people, Wu Dayong finally found the body suspected to be that of "Jiang Shunying" from a hairpin.

Subsequent investigations confirmed Wu Dayong's previous speculation that Jiang Shunying was not missing but had died fifteen years ago.

But this makes Li Zhengxiu's intentions even more confusing.

Why on earth would he ask them to find a dead person?

Ji Xiuxian remembered the piece of paper that Li Zhengxiu had given him before, which was full of clue fragments. There was a sentence on it: "Review the past to learn new things." He wanted to tell them that these victims were related to Jiang Shunying who was murdered fifteen years ago.

His purpose was never to play any killing game with them, but to use this incident to find out the truth about Jiang Shunying's death.

Ji Xiuxian took Jiang Shunying's ashes to the prison and found Li Zhengxiu.

The moment he saw the urn, the man who was imprisoned and sentenced to death for killing his parents suddenly burst into tears.

Gil Soo-hyun recalled the signs of imprisonment and torture found on the victims during the autopsy and asked, "Did they torture them in order to find Kang Soon-young? Why?"

Li Zhengxiu, who had been lowering his head, smiled with tears in his eyes. He looked up at Ji Xiuxian but did not answer his question: "The leading power of this game is in my hands, don't forget it. Personal questions that go beyond the rules of the game are not accepted."

Facing Ji Xiuxian's expressionless gaze, Li Zhengxiu seemed to be relieved and said to him: "Anyway, now that it has been proven that I did not choose the wrong person, it seems that we can finally start the game."

His expression, which was originally as cheerful and carefree as a child, slowly turned serious. He looked into Ji Xiuxian's eyes and said word by word, "The game will officially begin next: please find the murderer who killed Jiang Shunying."

Ji Xiuxian had this guess before, but when he heard what Li Zhengxiu said, he smiled and shook his head, and rejected his game as Li Zhengxiu's expression gradually changed: "No, I came here this time to tell you that I want to end this game. Games are like this, and there must be give and take to arouse people's interest. But..."

He paused here and pushed the photo to Li Zhengxiu, "Everyone in this photo is dead. If there is no one left to die, there is no reason to continue this game."

Lee Jung-soo smiled as he looked at the photo, tears slowly falling down. He calmly raised his head and looked at Ji Soo-hyun across from him and asked, "Is it true that there is no one left to die?"

After saying that, he handed a new sketch to Ji Xiuxian.

The painting shows a little girl surrounded by IV bottles, who will be the next victim.

Ji Xiuxian recalled that the director had said that Lee Jung-soo had killed his parents and confessed to his crime, but he had never revealed where his sister's body was dumped. He frowned and asked his guess: "Could it be that your sister is not dead?"

Li Zhengxiu just smiled and said nothing.

Through the clues of the seven sentences provided by Li Zhengxiu and the investigation of the previous files, they can only speculate that the murderer of Jiang Shunying is an expert who is quite familiar with the police investigation process. This is a case that happened more than ten years ago, and the opponent is also a veteran. There is also the pressure of death threats, which makes it difficult to think about it.

Just when the police were in distress, a man appeared at Bai Yuanxing's home.

"Why are you here at this time?" Bai Xingyuan seemed surprised but there was actually not a trace of surprise in her tone.

The man who was wearing a hoodie and covering himself tightly seemed to be very familiar with Bai Yuanxing's home and had a close relationship with Bai Yuanxing. After coming in, he sat directly on the sofa.

Bai Yuanxing poured a glass of water and handed it over, then sat directly on the single sofa next to her.

The man lowered his head, turned the cup in his hand twice and asked, "Sister, did the police come to see you today?"

Although the words were inquiring, they were spoken in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, they came to see me." Bai Yuanxing leaned back on the sofa, and her tone was as casual as if she was talking about what to eat today: "They also asked about your mother, and I told them about you."
