Chapter 198: Day 194 of Being a Boss (Missing Task Force)
After verification, it was found that these dead children all died five years ago, but their identities are unknown.
Just then the kidnapper sent the video again.
In the video, the kidnapper, wearing a tattered doll costume, faces the camera with his funny little bear head, and tied to the chair behind him are the missing children they are looking for.
The children cried heartbreakingly because of fear, but the bear monster laughed even more harshly. He put a fruit knife on the side of a child's face, pressed it lightly, and blood fell instantly. Because of the camera, the police could only see blood dripping from the child's jaw, and the child cried even harder because of the pain.
The little bear monster tilted his head, and with the silly expression on his headgear, he looked a little funny, but no one who saw this video found it funny, they just felt a chill down their spine.
"Officer, you have to hurry up. I have delivered all the clues to you. If you can't catch the person... the next body sent won't be the one from five years ago." After saying this, the little bear monster pointed his knife at the neck of his child with a meaningful look.
The child shrank back as if frightened, and the video content ended abruptly here.
The atmosphere in the task force became depressing because of this video.
Ji Xiuxian looked at Chen Xijun, who was the best at networking in their group, and asked, "Can the address where this video was sent be traced?"
Chen Xijun frowned and shook his head: "It's difficult. This video was uploaded from another place. We can only see if there are any clues from the video."
Ji Xiuxian thought for a while and asked Chen Xijun to continue investigating the video and the missing children from five years ago, while he and Wu Dayong went their separate ways to investigate the clues left on the body.
It seemed that the robber wanted to use these dead children to find out some things, but unlike the previous cases, Ji Xiuxian felt that the robber this time must know a lot of things, and he did this just to use them to dig up some past things.
He guessed that this matter was most likely related to the parents of those children.
Ji Xiuxian and Wu Dayong went to meet the parents of those children separately and asked them indirectly about the bodies of the unknown children, but these people insisted that they knew nothing as if they had confessed.
Because of this, Ji Xiuxian felt that this group of people must be hiding something, and the dead children were likely related to these people. What's worse, there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
After visiting several parents, Wu Darong met with Ji Xiuxian with a lot of anger. He scratched his hair in annoyance and exhaled: "There is something wrong with this group of people. Not only do they not cooperate, but their tempers are worse than each other."
After saying that, he couldn't help but say a swear word.
This group of rich people always look down on them, as if they are looking at garbage.
Meanwhile, Ji Xiuxian was thinking about something else. He suddenly said to Wu Dayong, "Detective Wu, you found information about Bai Yuanxing before. Do you remember which orphanage she grew up in?"
"Ah, it was Kang Min-chul..." Wu Dayong recalled that Bai Yuanxing and Kang Min-chul both grew up in the same church orphanage, but Kang Min-chul was the adopted son of the priest, and Bai Yuanxing was just one of the other adopted children.
Jiang Minzhe's case has been closed for almost a year. Wu Dayong didn't know why Ji Xiuxian asked this, and asked with a puzzled look: "Could these two cases be related?"
Ji Xiuxian shook his head: "The two cases are not related, but Baek Won-byul and Kang Min-chul are related, and Baek Won-byul probably knew about Kang Min-chul's case before. Let's go back and check Baek Won-byul's past."
Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiuxian took time to meet Li Zhengxiu's sister Li Xiuyun. He took out a photo of Bai Yuanxing and asked Li Xiuyun if she had seen this person, and got a positive answer.
After Li Xiuyun was taken away by Jiang Minzhe, she had been placed in Bai Yuanxing's house. On the other hand, Wu Dayong also made progress. Bai Yuanxing was never unfamiliar with Jiang Minzhe as she said. On the contrary, she and Jiang Minzhe had a very close relationship.
She is three years older than Jiang Minzhe and has taken care of Jiang Minzhe, who is in poor health, like a real sister since childhood. When Jiang Minzhe planned the serial murder case, Bai Yuanxing probably helped him, but it is not clear how much she participated.
Through Kang Min-chul's clue, Ji Soo-hyun and his friends found more information about Baek Won-byul, and gradually grasped some clues about this missing child case.
Bai Yuanxing didn't come to the orphanage until she was 13 years old, and she walked to the orphanage on her own to ask to be taken in. According to the priest who met her that year, it was November and snowing, and Bai Yuanxing was only wearing a thin skirt and didn't even have shoes.
Everything before she was thirteen was blank. She just shook her head no matter what the priest asked her. She was also having a high fever at the time, and everyone thought she was stupid and had burned away all her memories.
It’s hard to check on Bai Yuanxing’s side, but we found some interesting information through Jiang Minzhe and his friends.
Since entering the orphanage, Bai Yuanxing has been secretly raising a child outside with the orphanage's food. A child who is ten years younger than her and has been severely burned...
Ji Xiuxian looked at the child whose face was burnt so badly in the photo, and said solemnly: "It seems that we will have to meet this teacher Bai again."
Soon Bai Yuanxing was summoned to the police station again.
Compared to the panic last time, Bai Yuanxing seemed much calmer when she sat in the interrogation room again. Her gentle and friendly eyes were filled with grievance and anger, "Officer, didn't I ask you last time? I don't know why you think I kidnapped the child."
This time, in addition to Wu Darong, Ji Xiuxian also entered the interrogation room. He ignored Bai Yuanxing's words, pushed a photo in front of her, and asked in a faint voice: "You know this person, right?" After that, his eyes were fixed on the thin woman in front of him who looked like a little white rabbit.
Ji Xiuxian didn't think that a thirteen-year-old who could hike in the wilderness for two days with a seriously injured child could be a weak and harmless little white rabbit.
When Bai Yuanxing saw this photo, there was no surprise in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of disdain, as if saying: I finally found out.
The grievance, anger, and anxiety that had appeared on his face just now all disappeared in this instant, and it was as if all the excessive emotions had never appeared on this face.
The slender fingers, whose purple veins were clearly visible because they were so thin, gently picked up the photo. His eyes softened and he sighed softly as if talking to himself: "Even this has been found."
She looked up at Ji Xiuxian with a calm and gentle smile: "Officer, you are worthy of being the one I chose, but you are still a little slow."
"You really know me." Ji Xiuxian sat directly opposite her and just looked at the woman opposite quietly.
Both of them were very calm, but the atmosphere around them became inexplicably tense.
