"What? Are you sure? When did you get this news?" I almost blurted out, as such news was a bolt from the blue for me.
"It should be a few hours ago. The female officer who was taking care of He Xin told me. Isn't she not coming to work because she's about to give birth? Xie Chuchu got it from the forensic department. It seems they left at the same time."
Hearing this, I quickly left the provincial department. I had to go back to the courtyard to check. This time, it was He Xin and Xie Chuchu leaving together, which made me feel very confused. You know, they are very important to me. I suddenly thought of a problem: is the killer targeting the most important people around us, not wives? It's just that the most important people around the police officers who were victims were their wives. But if that's the case, the problem is... I quickly called Liu Yuning. After confirming she was safe, I breathed a sigh of relief. I told her not to leave the provincial department and returned to the courtyard myself.
I had called Xie Chuchu and He Xin several times before, but they didn't answer. You know, in our line of work, cell phones can't be turned off. Even though He Xin is on vacation now, she still has the habit of not turning off her phone, so it's very unusual that the phone can't be connected now.
When I got back to the courtyard, I immediately grabbed the aunt who was helping me take care of He Xin. Originally, I planned to have my sister and Dao Zhi Yong take care of her, but because they both had work to do at any time, and He Xin didn't want to delay their work, I finally hired a nanny.
"Miss He was resting in the room earlier, but she suddenly disappeared. I had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to eat. Look, it's all on the table!"
"Weren't you keeping an eye on her all the time?"
"Of course I was keeping an eye on her. Even when I went to cook just now, I heard her voice and told her I was going to the kitchen. She was fine at the time and told me not to work too hard. I thought to myself then, this girl is really kind. She doesn't have any temper even though she's pregnant and is always polite to me. Who knew that when I finished cooking and called her to eat, I found she didn't respond? I was curious at the time and thought she was asleep, so I carefully pushed open the door and found she was gone."
I went to He Xin's room. When I opened the door, I found a bunch of June chrysanthemums on the ground. I squatted down and sprinkled some yellow wine on it, and found bloodstains in the center. This situation was almost the same as what happened before Zhang Zhiwei disappeared. It seems it's the same person again. Is this person Cao Xiangchen?
He finally reappeared and was launching a crazy revenge against us police. This was what I could think of at the time. Since Grandpa was also in the house, I wanted to find him and ask about the situation. However, when I went to his room, I found that he was also gone.
I searched around and found a letter on the table. When I opened it, I saw Grandpa's unique handwriting on the yellow letter paper: "He Sheng, I have to go out for a while. Don't worry, I won't let He Xin get hurt. That guy just came..."
The handwriting was very hurried, and I guess Grandpa chased that guy out of the courtyard at that time. I don't know what the situation is now. Grandpa, He Xin, please don't have any accidents.
I knew it was useless to say anything now, so I left the courtyard. I contacted the surrounding traffic management bureau and obtained the surveillance footage from the nearby streets. According to the time indicated by the aunt, I indeed saw He Xin leave, and Grandpa followed behind her.
But I found that the scene where they disappeared together was very distorted, as if something had suddenly taken them to another place. At that time, I curiously asked the traffic police nearby what was going on. The traffic police was also puzzled: "This must have been interfered with, right? Why does it look so sci-fi?"
I turned around and gave it to Yuan Hezong. After he studied it, he said, "If there was interference waves during that period, the cameras would be affected and lose control for a while, causing the images to be torn, thus showing strange scenes."
"But does Cao Xiangchen have such abilities?"
"If he is someone from the Guizhi Sect, it's very likely. Don't forget that Cao Youqin was from the Guizhi Sect. Although they have been wiped out as a whole, Cao Xiangchen is definitely still alive. This time he is likely to deal with us again, to avenge the past! Also, he should want to have another showdown with your Grandpa, and Director Ma." Yuan Hezong analyzed.
This is true. As long as the Cao family is not dead and the Ci Men is not extinguished, the Guizhi Sect will continue. At his speed, he can probably continue to recruit more students to help him. The powerful aspect of organizations like the Guizhi Sect and Polaris is that they never lack personnel. Once someone is arrested, they will quickly find new people to join, so they will have a continuous supply of personnel. This way, no matter how many we arrest, they will recover quickly. This is why we can never completely eradicate them.
In fact, we have always been thinking about a way to fundamentally solve this problem, but we have never come up with one. Otherwise, we could have eliminated these malignant tumors long ago.
Speaking of this, Liu Yuning also remembered the dilemma we had been in for years: "This time we have a good chance of catching Cao Xiangchen. Even if there are remnants of the Guizhi Sect, they won't be able to make much trouble. Then we should start from here. Without the Guizhi Sect, Polaris will also be affected to a certain extent."
"Exactly. This may not be something our generation can completely accomplish, but we must take actions to destroy them as much as possible in our lifetime, paving the way for future generations. When it's their time, they will have more hope to eliminate Polaris. For us, it's not about whether we have the confidence to solve the case, but we must solve it! This scalpel in my hand can find answers from the deceased. If the bodies don't tell us the answers, then we will find the answers ourselves!"
"I feel the same way. With your words, I feel much calmer. It seems that I, a Level 1 Police Superintendent, will soon become a Level 3 Police Chief."
"You're thinking about a promotion again. I'll process it for you right away, how about it? My comrade Liu, the police beauty."
"Forget it. I don't want to rely on your connections. I want to achieve results on my own!"
We didn't talk anymore, after all, finding He Xin and Grandpa was the most important thing now. Although the video couldn't provide much information, we still found the road near where they disappeared.
At that time, many forensic investigators were around us. I ordered them to follow the direction they disappeared and thoroughly search the entire road, making sure to find any clues.
