Bao Le was soundly asleep, but was woken up alive when someone pinched his nose.Those who can do this in her house can know who it is without thinking. The little girl who was struggling and still unwilling to open her eyes brewed her feelings, and shouted: "Jiang Ning! Is it not enough to sleep on the sofa? Are you going to sleep on the sofa?"Lying on the street?!"

Jiang Meiren's voice came from above her head: "Something went wrong, get up quickly, I've booked you a flight to Bei Jing at 8 o'clock in the morning."

Bao Le, who was fully awake, touched the mobile phone beside the bed, it's four in the morning, it's still not bright yet.

"What happened?"

The little girl saw Jiang Ning holding a suitcase, opened her closet, and threw clothes into it without even looking at it, so she hurriedly uttered a voice to stop her barbaric behavior."It's winter now, what are you going to do with suspender skirts when you go to Bei Jing?" Bao Le sat on the bed and pointed Jiang Shan, "Bring two more long johns, my magic resistance is full, and the physical resistance is not enough, why don't you bring some warm baby stickers?"?”

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and threw the clothes she was holding on to her bed.

"You do it yourself!"

The little girl rolled out of bed very aggrieved, took out Hu Sai Hesai's clothes one by one from the suitcase, sorted them obsessively, folded them one by one and put them back in again.

"You haven't said anything yet," she asked.

Jiang Ning leaned against the bedroom door, crossed her chest and hugged her shoulders, uttered a sentence without surprise: "Shen Wangyan is going to die."

The little girl who was still in the dazed stage of waking up came back to her senses, hurriedly put away the clothes in her hands, and looked at the door with curious eyes by the way.Bao Le slandered her, it doesn't matter if you say a sentence longer, is it interesting to ask a sentence?

Blocking the unnecessary complaints, Jiang Ning said with a blank expression: "Liang Cuihua called just now to say that Shen Wangyan took Jun Zhi and Shen San to Bei Jing last Wednesday, and today they have lost contact for two days."

Speaking of Beijing, Bao Le couldn't help but think of the business card that Shen Yan handed to Shen Wangyan a few months ago, which indeed had the words "Bei Jing Jing Huatang" on it.It is very reasonable to say that, Shen Wangyan should have gone to Bei Jing to find clues to a new place of enlightenment.But Bei Jing is the capital, things like Guyu Township will never happen under the feet of the Son of Heaven, let alone Jun Zhi and Shen San, how could they lose contact?

Bao Le closed the buckle of the suitcase, turned around and asked Jiang Ning a question: "By the way, who is Liang Cuihua?"

"Shen Wangyan's grandma."

Jiang Meiren gave her a "you don't know this" expression.The ignorant little girl suddenly felt like she was being bombarded by thunder. That was the tenderness on the outside and tenderness on the inside—that old Mrs. Shen who was full of extravagance and skills... was actually called Cuihua?!

...

November 2022, Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, a cafe near Guanyuan Bridge in Bei Jing.

Bao Le pushed the door open and entered the warm environment, feeling instantly saved.Taking off the fluffy white hat, the little girl shook her head like a kitten, holding the phone between her shoulders and cheeks, looking around while talking on the phone.

"Here we are, who are you?"

The girl on the other end of the phone stood up, especially in the quiet cafe because of the small number of people. She waved a hand vigorously in the direction of Bao Le, trying to attract their attention.This girl has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her bones are somewhat similar to Bao Le. She belongs to Xiaojiabiyu's category, but in appearance, she is a little ordinary, not as delicate as Bao Le. She has short hair and wears a brown turtleneck sweater, coat on the back of the chair.

Bao Le took Jiang Ning and walked over. The arrival of the two girls immediately improved the overall appearance of the cafe.

The servant girl of the Shen family stretched out her hand enviously, and said to the two of them, "My name is Shen Xing'er, and I was sent by the old lady."

"Worry?" Bao Le complained in a low voice, "The Shen family chooses their names really casually."

Shen Xing'er also responded ridiculed quietly: "Hmm...they are front nasal and back nasal, and the pronunciation is opposite to worrying."

Southerners don't distinguish front and back nasal sounds, but in Baole's eyes, they are not much different.However, the matter she whispered just now was discovered, and Bao Le was inevitably a little embarrassed, so he quickly cut the topic.

She asked: "By the way, why did we make an appointment to meet here? And about Shen Wangyan and the others' disappearance, have you called the police?"

Shen Xing'er nodded, then shook her head, making Bao Le quite confused.

"Actually, they called the police," Shen Xing'er said, "but then the police found out that the young master sent a courier to the old house at the courier point three hours ago. The surveillance camera took a very clear picture of his face, and there was no threat or threat."There are no signs of movement restriction, so the report can only be withdrawn."

After three hours, they were still on the plane, but Shen Wangyan said that this was a mess.

Bao Le frowned: "Have you checked what he sent?"

"I checked," Shen Xing'er sighed, "they are all ordinary Bei Jing local products, nothing special. But the young master, the gentleman, and Shen San, the three of them's mobile phones have been disconnected since two days agoEvery day before coming to Beijing, the young master kept making video calls with the old lady every day."

This is very strange.

Jiang Ning propped her chin with her hands in boredom, seeing the serious expressions of the two of them, she couldn't help interjecting: "Girl, you haven't said why you came to such a place, it's more than 30 kilometers away from the airport, but what's nearby?"Clues?" She was full of threats, if Shen Xing'er said "no", maybe she would run away on the spot, after all, for Jiang Meiren, long-distance travel is really boring, and her patience is extremely limited.

Fortunately, Shen Xing'er nodded: "The delivery point where the young master appeared last is nearby. Besides, I have made an appointment with someone." She raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "Look at the time, it should be here soon."

While talking, the door of the cafe opened again, mixed with the cold of Bei Jing winter, two people walked in, a man and a woman.

The man has a cropped head and is a spirited guy. He wears a black leather jacket on his upper body. There is a shallow scar on his brow bone, which looks like an old knife wound.But this scar didn't make him look vicious at all, instead he had a heroic masculinity in it.As for the other woman, she has curly light brown hair and a face of a sister Yu, her beauty is not inferior to that of Jiang Ning, and she wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but she doesn't look old-fashioned at all.

Seeing Shen Xing'er, the two walked towards them one after another.

Shen Xing'er gave up her seat, and briefly introduced the woman among the two to Bao Le and the others: "Qin Yao, the forensic doctor of the Criminal Police Brigade."

Appeared!It appeared!A female forensic doctor who only exists in the novel world!

Bao Le showed a look of admiration, but it was wrong to think about it, and then he said in doubt: "Our case is at best a disappearance case, so there is no need to send a forensic doctor to appear!"Young master Shen is completely cold now?

Qin Yao smiled, stretched out her hand to Bao Le and said, "You must be Miss Jiang. I heard my husband mention you before. Oh, my husband is Shen Yan, you should know him."

The little girl who was caught off guard could only stretch out her hand in a hurry. The two of them just shook hands when Jiang Ning sneered. After all, both of them were surnamed Jiang. She didn't think this woman really recognized who they were..

Qin Yao ignored Jiang Ning, withdrew her hand, pushed her glasses and continued: "Although I am a forensic doctor, I am also Shen Yan's wife. When Mr. Shen from the Shen family came to Bei Jing, my husband and I received him together.It’s just that Ah Yan can’t come to a lecture today, so I can only do it for him.”

It turned out to be Shen Yan's wife, no wonder, Bao Le showed a suddenly realized expression.

"Then this is my cousin, Han Ziyang, Team Han," Qin Yao introduced, "The matter about Mr. Shen does not constitute a disappearance so far, so we are not here to meet you as a policeman. This is the premise.Hope you understand."

Han Ziyang followed Qin Yao's words, took out a photo and said: "The police who received the report before found such a photo in the follow-up work, and there are various signs that we can know this apart from the surveillance this morning.The place where Mr. Shen last appeared."

On the street of Guanyuan Bridge, a cake shop was holding an event recently. When the owner was taking commemorative photos at the entrance of the shop three days ago, Shen Wangyan happened to be photographed.In the photo, Shen Wangyan was just a background, but he was outstanding in appearance, with a height of more than 1.8 meters and the face of a nobleman, he did not belong to the existence that would be drowned in the crowd.

He appears to be talking to a man on the right.

The person who was talking to Shen Wangyan was not shorter than him, but because he was facing away from the camera, he could only be seen wearing a khaki windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets, and his head slightly turned to the left.

The two stood under the red door plaque with the words "Jewelry City" written on the side of the street. It is possible that the next step is to enter this jewelry city together.

"Is there anything special about this?" Bao Le turned over and over, but couldn't get any useful information.

Team Han took out his phone, switched it to video mode, and handed it over.There are two videos in the phone, from the point of view, one should be the door monitoring of a certain store.Bao Le compared the angles of the video, only to realize belatedly that it was the surveillance camera of the cafe they were in now, and the location happened to be a place they could all see at a glance.The other video is the door surveillance of the store next door. Judging from the shooting angle and shooting effect, it should belong to the same type of surveillance, and the bosses may have bought it together.

The video is shot at a wide angle, recording pedestrians passing by two shops, one for about ten seconds and the other for about twenty seconds.

Bao Le looked back and forth over and over again, only to find that although there were a lot of people at that time, there was a person in the crowd who was acting strangely.This person appeared at the end of the monitoring at the door next door at 04 seconds, and entered a blind spot for shooting. Based on the time when other pedestrians reappeared at the door of the cafe to monitor, it should take 8 seconds.But 8 seconds later, this person did not appear in the cafe's surveillance, and he just disappeared out of thin air.

And this person happened to be wearing a khaki windbreaker.However, due to the low resolution of the surveillance camera, his face could not be seen clearly.

Bao Le thought for a while: "Maybe he walked across the street in a blind spot under surveillance?"

Team Han shook his head: "Listen to the sound in the video, did you hear the bell?"

Indeed, this is why Bao Le determined that the two video time periods are simultaneous, because a bell that rang five times appeared in both.At this moment, Baole, who was sitting in the cafe, heard a clearer bell, not from the video, but from the street.The bell rang twelve times in total, and Bao Le looked at his phone, it happened to be twelve o'clock at noon.

"There is a clock tower on the street, and it strikes the time every day. It happened exactly at five o'clock in the afternoon."

Team Han said something that made Bao Le’s hairs stand on end: “The time when this person appeared in the photo of the cake shop, according to several employees who took part in the photo at the time, was when the bell rang between the third and fourth rings."

But how is this possible?!

In the video, the time when the person disappeared from the surveillance was just the third ringing of the bell. How could he appear at the gate of the Jewelry City 100 meters away in the next second, and he was not caught by the surveillance of the coffee shop?

Although the person who had spoken to Shen Wangyan was suspicious, Bao Le had another concern.

"Professor Shen once gave Shen Wangyan a business card," Bao Le turned his head and asked Qin Yao, "I remember the words 'Bei Jing Jing Huatang' written on the card, I wonder if Professor Shen told you about this?"

Qin Yao pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

It was Han Ziyang who interjected: "This Jing Huatang is a century-old shop, a famous jewelry company, if I remember correctly, there is a shop in the jewelry city."

Bao Le looked down at the photo, wondering if the man in the khaki trench coat had anything to do with Jing Huatang.

Qin Yao said: "Although I don't know what Jing Huatang is, I received a call from Mr. Shen before, asking me to pass it on to my husband, saying that I was looking for something called 'Magnolia Chalcedony'."

"Magnolia flower?" Jiang Ning reacted greatly to these three words, and seemed to be shocked, causing all the people present to look sideways.

Only Han Ziyang and the Han team said thoughtfully: "If it is something like chalcedony, could it be sold by Jing Huatang? This seems to be right."

Jiang Ning grabbed Bao Le and said to Qin Yao with a smile: "Speaking so much, why don't you come and have a look, since it's nearby anyway, I'm quite curious about this Jing Huatang now."

Qin Yao nodded, and just wanted to get up together.

"Don't worry about Mrs. Shen, we can solve the Shen family's affairs by ourselves," Jiang Ning gave Shen Xing'er a look, then looked back at Bao Le, "Why are you still standing there?"

Bao Le picked up the photo on the table, and smiled embarrassedly at Han Ziyang and Qin Yao: "Excuse me, can you keep this photo for us?"

Han Ziyang nodded, and then saw the three of them leave in a hurry.

Qin Yao picked up the black tea cup from the table and took a sip.

Team Han only listened to his cousin, curled her lips, and spit out a sentence of unknown meaning lightly.

"So it's magnolia flower?"
