eight pm.

"Hey, have you heard? The fourth department received another bizarre case today."

In the Aozong City Police Station, the young policemen on the night shift sat together and had a heated discussion to get through the long night that was waiting for them.

Every time, the cases received by Section 4 can only be described as unimaginable, so there is always a joke among them - whenever they encounter cases that are difficult to appear in novels, they will be thrown to Section 4.

Just four subjects.

As colleagues, they are very sympathetic to the work faced by Section 4. Every unsolved case will kill a large number of their brain cells.

"How to say?"

The young policeman holding a cup of coffee arrived belatedly. When he heard that it was another case from Section 4, he couldn't wait to join the discussion.

"This afternoon someone reported that a sophomore from Liyuan High School was missing and was suspected to have been kidnapped after school."

said the policeman who had just returned from wandering around Section 4.

"That's really bizarre. The kidnappers who kidnapped people in front of the school in broad daylight must be a little too courageous."

"Don't worry, this isn't the bizarre part yet... The person who reported the crime was not the student's parent, but a completely unrelated person. After receiving the report, the Fourth Department immediately went to the scene to investigate, but regardless of

Neither the teachers, students nor the vendors setting up stalls at the door had ever seen the kidnapper. On the contrary, the last time they saw the high school sophomore, they all said he was no different from usual, and guess what?"

At this point, the speaker deliberately paused for a moment and deliberately let it slip.

The police officer who was watching responded in a very cooperative manner, "What's going on?"

"Later, the fourth department found the boy's parents, and his parents insisted that their child was not missing at all."

"So is he missing or not missing?"

Others were confused. If the person hadn't disappeared, wouldn't it have been an ordinary false police report?

This happens several times at every police station.

"The man is missing, but his parents insist that he just went to school."

"What exactly is going on?"

The police officers who were watching were even more confused. It was difficult for them to imagine what exactly this was like.

"That's why it's a bizarre case. No, Captain Feng has to work overtime again today."

…

At this moment, Feng Xi's brows were furrowed.

The boy's parents had gone back now. After repeated inquiries, they not only were not aware of the fact that their son was missing, but also thought that the police were meddling in their own business.

Originally, according to the general procedure, they summoned the boy's parents to investigate, and after receiving the news that the boy was not missing, the case would be treated as a false police report. However, considering that the person who reported the case was Fang Tian, ​​Feng Xi was cautious.

, went to the boy’s home to have a look.

It was already after seven o'clock and it was mostly dark, but the boy's parents didn't seem to be worried about their son at all. Instead, they insisted that the boy just went to school.

The boy's parents' transcript itself is full of weirdness.

She thought about the possibility that the boy's kidnapper had kidnapped them and warned them that if they called the police, they would be killed. In the process, she also explained to the other party the importance of cooperating with the police and that cooperating with the police was the right choice in this case.

, but the boy’s parents didn’t buy it at all.

She had to re-study the contents of the transcript. In fact, the information provided by the boy's parents was contradictory from the beginning.

According to the information they provided, the boy had not enrolled in any extracurricular tutoring classes and would go home directly after school every day, usually no later than 6:15 at the latest.

According to them, the boy had not arrived home by seven o'clock in the evening without saying hello to his family. Normal parents should have been worried and called around to look for him, but his parents felt that seven

It’s normal to not get home after midnight, and there’s nothing to worry about.

"When I go to school, it's common even if I don't go home for a month."

Feng Xi's eyes stayed on this line. These were the original words of the boy's mother after she became emotional. Years of experience and intuition told her that this sentence was likely to be the key to this case.

If the kidnappers had warned them, or if they had something they couldn't tell the police about, then the excuse would have been better - at least not one that would be seen through at a glance.

Why would a high school sophomore who has never lived on campus or enrolled in any cram school not go home for more than a month?

Or in their subconscious mind, the missing son will come back within a month?

"Dong dong dong."

A knock on the door interrupted Feng Xi's thoughts.

"Come in."

"Team Feng, we have a new clue. A vendor who set up a stall in front of Liyuan High School came to report the crime."

"Walk."

Feng Xi immediately put away the notes on the table.

A few minutes later, she saw the vendor setting up a stall in the lounge. It seemed that the vendor came over after setting up the stall before he had time to change clothes. He was covered in oil, and when he got closer, he could smell the smell of barbecue seasoning.

At this moment, the vendor looked aggrieved, and the expression of the woman sitting next to him could only be described as ferocious.

"what happened?"

"Comrade policeman, please tell me a good story about him. I think he has been busy all day and his mind is lost."

Before the vendor could speak, the tough woman spoke aggressively. She took out a piece of hard cardboard stained with oil and handed it to Feng Xi. Feng Xi took it in her hand and thought about it, and then she remembered that students were provided with it in the school's art class.

This material serves as a drawing board.

"One hundred yuan" was written with a pen on the cardboard.

"I said he was deceived, but he insisted that this was a one-hundred-dollar bill, or some new one-hundred-dollar bill. I was really pissed off."

"Isn't this the new one-hundred-dollar bill?"

In front of the tough woman, the hawker felt extremely wronged, but he still muttered something in a low voice.

"This...is a hundred-dollar bill?"

Feng Xi didn't expect the vendor to say that, so she asked in surprise.

This hard cardboard is not even fake money, it is clearly a random graffiti drawn by someone.

"Oh, he's going to make me mad!"

Seeing her husband still saying this in front of the police, the woman beat her chest and was so angry that her facial features were twisted together.

It was irritating enough to receive such outrageous counterfeit coins from a stall, but after he came back, he intensified his efforts, insisting that these were new coins, and refusing to admit his mistake.

"Don't worry yet."

Feng Xi realized something was wrong, bent down, and lowered the cardboard back into the vendor's hand, "I ask you again, don't get angry with your wife, and don't take any other factors into consideration. Are you really sure about this?"

Is it the new one hundred dollar bill?"

Facing Feng Xi's serious question, the vendor hesitated for a while.

He took the cardboard in his hand, carefully observed the one hundred yuan denomination on it, and then he groped along the edge of the cardboard.
