Chapter 599: Analyze One by One

"The deceased, Qu Xiaomeng, 18 years old, was a senior student in the high school department of Fuzhou Experimental Middle School. She had excellent academic performance and was named a three-good student for two consecutive years. She gave a speech in the Fuzhou Auditorium."

"Both of her parents were working class. Her mother, Chen Ruomei, worked as a shopping guide at the counter, and her father, Qu Hao, was the driver of the general manager of a state-owned enterprise. The total monthly income was 15,000 yuan. The family was harmonious, with little financial pressure and simple family relationships."

Jiang Yang retrieved the file. In the ID photo, Qu Xiaomeng had a round face, with baby fat unique to girls, full of collagen, and quite young.

The only discordant thing was that there was a hole the size of a fingernail under the left cheekbone near the eye socket.

According to her parents, this was caused by her accidentally falling off the slide when she was in kindergarten.

"...My Xiaomeng is very well-behaved and obedient. She would call home in advance when she went out to play with her classmates, and she would always come back before dark."

Chen Ruomei cried and collapsed in Qu Hao's arms, and she was weak when she spoke.

"The day she disappeared, she clearly told me that she was going to a friend's house. Her father got a salary increase before, and we agreed to go out for hot pot together in the evening."

"I waited and waited but she never came..."

Speaking of this, Chen Ruomei couldn't help but break down and cry.

There was only one daughter in the family, and the couple raised her like a baby.

The love and care in their hearts and eyes were exchanged for their daughter being buried deep in the ground at a young age.

How could a family with only one child bear such a blow.

"Ruomei, don't cry."

Qu Hao's voice trembled, and he comforted her with pain.

"Officer Jiang, please make sure to catch the murderer! Never let him go! My Xiaomeng is still so young, her life hasn't even started yet!"

He looked at Jiang Yang, his eyes full of tears.

"We went to the police station to report Xiao Meng's disappearance on the day she disappeared. But the police said that the time was less than 48 hours, so they could not file a case for the time being. However, several police officers were very good and searched with us in the city, but unfortunately there was no news."

"We still couldn't find her after filing the case. We went to find her good classmates, and they all said that Xiao Meng left at around 3 pm that day and said she wanted to go home."

"I regret it so much! Why didn't I pick her up! If I had picked her up, would Xiao Meng not have died!"

Qu Hao blamed himself. In the five years since his daughter disappeared, he has not slept well at night.

The strong regret almost destroyed him.

But for his equally desperate wife, Qu Hao held on as a man.

He still had a family to take care of and to support Chen Ruomei.

If he couldn't hold on, what would his wife do?

Jiang Yang listened to the two people's narration in silence without interrupting them.

"Every time there is an unidentified body that needs to be claimed, we will go and take a look. What if? What if it is my Xiao Meng? I hope it is not her, but I also hope it is her."

Qu Hao closed his eyes tightly, "She has been missing for five years and there is no news. I know the possibility of finding her is not high. The best result is that she was abducted by human traffickers. As for death, I dare not even think about it."

"In order to find my daughter, I took a special leave to go to the mountainous area, and I chose remote and backward mountains with little Internet penetration. There were many dangerous situations and I almost didn't come out."

"My company boss is also very considerate of me. He advised me not to resign and kept my position for me, so that I could take a break at home."

He wiped a tear and pressed Jiang Yang's shoulder hard, "Officer Jiang! Help us! I know that there is no case that you can't handle. You must help us! I want that man to die! I want him to go down and apologize to Xiao Meng!"

Qu Hao was very strong, and Jiang Yang's shoulder was "clicking" and his bones were almost broken.

But he didn't dodge, but patted Qu Hao on the back to reassure him.

"Mr. Qu, Ms. Chen, the police will do their best to arrest the murderer and will not let him go unpunished! No matter who it is, as long as they violate the law, they must accept legal sanctions."

"Okay, okay!"

After comforting the family of the deceased, Jiang Yang asked in detail about the details of Qu Xiaomeng's disappearance on the day.

Interestingly, the "classmate's home" that the deceased went to was Fang Kai's home.

Qu Hao said that Fang Kai's family is rich and they hold birthday parties every time he has a birthday.

His birthday happened to be in August, and everyone was relaxed during the summer vacation,

especially when they were promoted to the third year of high school, and the summer vacation for the third-year students of Experimental Middle School started in August.

In July, they had to attend classes in school as usual and learn the third-year courses in advance.

Most key high schools are like this.

So, when Fang Kai arrived in early August, he would invite all the classmates in the class, and those who had good relationships with other classes would also come. It was common for a group of students to play all night.

After Qu Hao and Chen Ruomei left together, Jiang Yang immediately called everyone in the team to a meeting.

"Fang Kai lives in Chutian No. 1 in the inner ring of Mindong District, which is a wealthy area. According to the testimony of the deceased's parents, the deceased went out at 8:30 in the morning and called back at around 11:00 in the afternoon."

"I looked at the police station's records five years ago. Fang Kai and other students present said that the deceased left on his own initiative at around 3:00 in the afternoon. There is a direct bus line 815 from Chutian No. 1 to the deceased's home, which has only nine stops and takes about 40 minutes if the road is open."

Jiang Yang drew a simple map on the small blackboard, marking the locations of Qu Xiaomeng's home and Fang Kai's home.

"Qu Xiaomeng lives in a six-story old public housing estate, located at Lane 1227, Chunsheng East Road. The neighborhood is very lively, with snack bars and street stalls everywhere. It is one of the famous night markets in Fuzhou. The city leaders issued relevant policies seven years ago, requiring the urban management and police officers of the police station to jointly maintain the public security of the night market."

"So this section of the road is patrolled by auxiliary police and police officers all year round, and it is the area with the lowest crime rate in Fuzhou."

At this point, Jiang Yang glanced around, and everyone agreed with his statement.

"Indeed. I have been a policeman for so many years, and this section is very worry-free. Every time I patrol near Chunsheng East Road, I feel more relaxed."

"You can see several police officers every two steps."

Zeng Gaojie agreed.

"So it is unlikely that the deceased disappeared at the doorstep?"

Gao Jinyang asked.

There are several possibilities for the body of the deceased to appear in the playground of Experimental Middle School.

After Qu Xiaomeng died, the murderer took the body away to destroy the evidence.

Or Qu Xiaomeng appeared in the school before his death and was killed.

Because the body had already decayed, it was difficult for the forensic doctor to tell whether there was any sign of struggle before death just from the wounds on the bones, so it was difficult to determine whether the murderer was an acquaintance or a stranger.

Let's look at the bus line from Chutian No. 1 to Chunsheng East Road. The places it passes through are all prosperous areas, with sufficient police force and cameras everywhere.

But the file records of that year clearly stated that there were no suspicious findings.

The surveillance at the bus station clearly recorded the scene of Qu Xiaomeng getting on the bus.

Excluding the possibility of police error, the deceased probably did not get off the bus during that section of the journey.

The second to last stop of bus No. 815 is Fushi Experimental Middle School.
