Grocery Store No.514

Ling Huaan ate something, and suddenly remembered the female ghost from before, touched her pocket, and then remembered that she was wearing a hospital gown, he looked at Jiang Chengyan and asked, "Huaan, my bell Where is it?"

Jiang Chengyan opened the drawer of the bedside cabinet, took out the bell, handed it to Ling Huaan, and said, "The bell is here."

Ling Huaan touched the rope ring of the bell, took out one of the bells, rang the bell, chanted the incantation silently, and released the female ghost.

The female ghost's expression was obviously a little flustered, but she quickly recovered and said dissatisfiedly: "You have trapped me in the bell for so long, how is my case going?"

Ling Huaan explained: "Sorry, I was injured a week ago and I only woke up today. I was about to ask about the progress of the case, so I thought you would follow along."

"So that's how it is." The female ghost said slowly, "Then how are you now? Okay?"

"It's almost there, thank you for your concern." Ling Huaan looked in Jiang Chengyan's direction and asked, "Team Jiang, how is her case going?"

Jiang Chengyan naturally knew who Ling Huaan was talking about, and replied, "The case is still under investigation."

"Is her identity confirmed? Team Jiang tell us about the progress of the case."

"Her name is Lin Fanglu, 32 years old, born on February 2, 2989, divorced, has a daughter named Lin Miaomiao, who is currently living with her, in the photo she recalled that day The little girl is her daughter." Jiang Chengyan hesitated, and said, "It has been determined that her daughter has disappeared, and she disappeared before her death."

"Missing?" Ling Huaan and Lin Fanglu almost spoke in unison.

Jiang Chengyan nodded and said, "That's right. We found the photo on her body and went to her house to look for it. Her ex-husband and her family didn't know about Lin Miaomiao The whereabouts. The reason why Lin Fanglu carried her daughter's photo with her should be because she was looking for her."

Ling Huaan looked at Lin Fanglu, whose complexion kept changing, and asked, "Did you remember something?"

The expression on Lin Fanglu's face changed, and she said, "Some pictures of me and Miaomiao together. Miaomiao... Have you found her?"

Ling Huaan repeated Lin Fanglu's words and said, "Team Jiang, have you found any clues about Miaomiao's disappearance?"

"Based on her last consumption record, we found out that she had shopped in Huacheng Mall, and then retrieved the surveillance video of Huacheng Mall, and found that at 2:15 pm on the 13th, Lin Fanglu Went to the toilet with Lin Miaomiao. About 10 minutes later, Lin Fanglu came out of the toilet in a panic. Judging from her expression at the time, Lin Miaomiao had disappeared at that time. Strange thing, we checked the surveillance at that time repeatedly, I didn't find Lin Miaomiao coming out of the toilet."

"It is impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air." Ling Huaan pondered for a while, and said, "A five-year-old child is small, as long as it dazzles people, it is not a problem to put it in a suitcase. Jiang team, you guys Have you checked anyone with luggage in and out of the toilet?"

"I checked. We started to check when the mother and daughter entered the toilet, and until the shopping mall closed, we didn't find anyone going in and out of the toilet with a suitcase." Jiang Chengyan frowned and said, "Huacheng Around the mall is the most prosperous commercial center in the entire Hwaseong City, where the daily flow of people is very large, I can't figure out why the murderer would start there."

Ling Huaan thoughtfully and said, "More than that, Team Jiang, don't forget, Lin Fanglu died in my shop, even at night, it's across from the police station. Either the murderer was fearless, or he was so desperate that he wanted to kill Lin Fanglu no matter where he was."

"We investigated Lin Fanglu's identity. She graduated from the Journalism Department of Hwaseong University and studied broadcasting and hosting. Now she is the broadcasting host of Hwaseong TV News Channel, and she is also a household name in Hwaseong. Her husband is Li Minghui, the deputy director of the TV station. The two are ten years apart. When they announced their relationship, it was a sensation for a while. The two soon got married and gave birth to Lin Miaomiao three years later. Miaomiao. On Lin Miaomiao's first birthday, Lin Fanglu announced on VB that she had divorced Li Minghui and changed Li Miaomiao's name to Lin Miaomiao."

"The confidence to change her daughter's surname directly shows that Lin Fanglu has absolute control over this divorce turmoil. But Li Minghui has a higher position than Lin Fanglu at work, so what's he to do with him? Is it in Lin Fanglu's hands?" Ling Huaan keenly grasped the point of Jiang Chengyan's words.

"Indeed. Although there is no evidence, entertainment reporters reported on the Internet that Li Minghui and a well-known model were photographed entering and leaving the hotel. Combined with the result of this divorce, it is not difficult to guess that Li Minghui did have Suspected of cheating."

"Results?"

"Well, the custody of the daughter and the property under her name are all owned by Lin Fanglu. It can be said that Li Minghui is leaving the house."

"What about work? How did Hwaseong TV respond?"

"At that time, there was quite a lot of turmoil in the divorce, but there was no solid evidence, and it was settled later. Huacheng TV never responded, and Li Minghui was still the deputy director of the TV station. However, one He will not be on the list in the election of the director of the TV station a few years later."

"Let's not talk about human and financial losses, and there is no chance for promotion. Li Minghui failed miserably in this divorce storm. He should be full of resentment towards Lin Fanglu."

"We checked the trajectory of Li Minghui's actions on the day Lin Fanglu was killed. He has an alibi, which can rule out his suspicion of committing the crime. Lin Miaomiao's disappearance should have nothing to do with him. My family members have never been to Huacheng Mall."

Ling Huaan nodded and said, "Team Jiang, I think Lin Miaomiao's disappearance is related to Lin Fanglu's murder. To find out the truth of Lin Fanglu's murder, find out Lin Miaomiao. Miao's disappearance is the key."

"I know. But..." Jiang Chengyan sighed and said, "Lin Miaomiao has been missing for more than 10 days, and the possibility of surviving is greatly reduced."

"Impossible, Miaomiao can't die, hurry up and find her, hurry up and find her!" Lin Fanglu floated to Jiang Chengyan emotionally and shouted loudly.

Seeing Lin Fanglu's body surging with resentment, Ling Huaan rang the bell and took Lin Fanglu back.

Lin Fanglu kept hitting the surrounding barrier and shouted: "Let me out, let me out, I'm going to find Miaomiao, I'm going to find Miaomiao!"

Ling Huaan reminded: "You can't even remember who you are, where did you find it?"

Lin Fanglu was startled, two lines of blood and tears flowed down her cheeks, and cried, "Miaomiao, my Miaomiao, mother is sorry for you, mother couldn't find you..."

Ling Huaan sighed, looked at Jiang Chengyan, and said, "It's not surprising that a 5-year-old child is delusional and easy to be fooled. But judging from the situation at the scene, if you want her to not be at all To resist, anesthesia must be used. As long as a sufficient dose is used, the child can fall asleep for a long time, and if he is hidden enough, the murderer will have enough time to transfer, not only on the day. The murderer who meets this condition must not be accidental He must have investigated Lin Fanglu's whereabouts when committing the crime." Ling Huaan paused for a while and said, "I can carry large objects in the toilet without being suspected..."

"Cleaner." Jiang Chengyan and Ling Huaan almost spoke in unison.

"The cleaner is more likely, she can first knock Lin Miaomiao unconscious, then put him in the space of one of the bathrooms, and finally fix the door of the bathroom and hang it up for cleaning , or under maintenance, so it can be easily concealed.”

Jiang Chengyan asked a question and said, "But if the child is lost, Lin Fanglu will definitely look for it. She shouldn't ignore the space because of the sign on the door."

"She can't, but she can't open the door of the compartment. When she wants to come, she can't open it, and Lin Miaomiao, a child, certainly can't open it, and she must have shouted at that time. However, I didn't hear Lin Miaomiao's response, under such circumstances, normal people would give up that cubicle and go to other places in the mall to look for it."

"As far as we know, after Lin Miaomiao was lost, Lin Fanglu went to watch the surveillance video, then she must know that Lin Miaomiao has not left the bathroom since she entered, then she will definitely Look for it again, so she won't miss that compartment."

"Team Jiang, the probe to which the surveillance video you retrieved belongs should not be installed at the door of the bathroom."

Jiang Chengyan shook his head and said, "No, that surveillance probe can only photograph the exit of the corridor leading to the toilet."

"So if after the accident, when Lin Fanglu left the toilet, the cleaners blocked the customer from entering, and then transferred Lin Miaomiao to the men's toilet, or put it into a certain item, and finally put the Everything is back to normal, and when Lin Fanglu comes back and looks for it again, she will definitely find nothing."

"Then how did the murderer determine which toilet Lin Fanglu went to?"

"As long as you follow Lin Fanglu all the time, it doesn't matter which toilet she goes to."

"What if the toilet they go to has a cleaner? After all, everyone has their own work area."

"The premise is that she is a cleaner in Hwaseong Mall, and if she usually tries to get along with others, she just needs to find a reason to pay for the cleaners on duty there."

"Then..."

Jiang Chengyan wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Ling Huaan, and said helplessly: "Jiang team, I just made an idea, what is the next step, what method to use, but also Jiang team to investigate."

Jiang Chengyan touched his nose shyly and said, "Well, I'll go to work in a while."

Ling Huaan smiled and said, "Team Jiang, what time is it?"

"Eight o'clock, what's wrong?"

"Why didn't you sleep in bed last night?"

Jiang Chengyan was startled, obviously not adapting to the speed at which Ling Huaan changed the topic, and said, "The case has not progressed for a long time, and you are lying on the hospital bed again, I... I can't hold it..."

Although Jiang Chengyan didn't finish speaking, Ling Huaan understood what he meant. He stretched out his arms and looked at Jiang Chengyan's direction gently. Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan's nose was sour, he stepped forward and hugged Ling Huaan. This solid feeling really made him infatuated, but he was extremely afraid of losing it.

Feeling Jiang Chengyan's tightening strength, Ling Huaan comforted her in pain: "Team Jiang, I'm here, don't be afraid."

The short words made Jiang Chengyan's eyes red again. He lay on Ling Huaan's shoulder and said, "Huaan, I really can't lose you, I will be fine in the future, okay?"

"Okay. I promise you, I will grow old with you, and even walk behind you."

Ling Huaan deeply understands that death is not scary, what is scary is losing loved ones and living alone in this world.
