Shen He and Maluoping relied on the equipment they brought over and entered the basement through the hole in the wall one after another.
It was pitch-black down there, and a strong musty smell of memory dust assailed their noses, making them dizzy.
Shen He turned on the flashlight, and the blinding light instantly filled the entire secret passage.
He let go of the rope and caught Mallopin. He shone his flashlight up and found that he was just about to reach the roof of the second floor.
He did not expect that there would be a secret passage and basement hidden in this abandoned villa.
The aisle was narrow, and the two tall and tough men had to bend their backs to pass through.
"Captain Shen, hold the gun properly." Mallopin said softly, but he still replied.
Shen He looked warily at the iron door in front of him. There were signs of prying on the rusty copper lock. It was obvious that someone had been here.
He fiddled with it a few times and the iron door was opened.
The basement was damp and dark. The furnishings were simple, and the musty smell was even stronger.
Shen He looked at the bed, there were still traces of someone staying there.
There were also scratch marks on the wall, and the bloodstains on them were fresh. They should have been left behind by Wu Qingyu.
This house was a European-style villa built by an overseas Chinese who had returned from Europe, so the basement was built to imitate the characteristics of European-style buildings.
"Captain Shen, what do you think this is?"
Mallopin raised his flashlight in surprise. The light shone on the wall in the corner. There was a line of small words-The outcome of meddling in other people's business is very miserable!
When Shen He's gaze met this, something seemed to explode in his head.
He closed his eyes tightly and could not stand steadily.
Ma Leping immediately supported him." Captain Shen, are you alright?”
Shen He waved his hand." It's fine. I suspect that this is the place where Wu Qingyu was imprisoned when he went missing."”
The shocked expression on Mallopin's face was clear."That means that Wu Qingyu never left this place?”
Shen He's expression was solemn as he nodded his head and replied with a faint 'Mm'.
Mallopin's hair stood on end. He couldn't help but feel annoyed.
" Sigh, if only we had discovered it earlier, Wu Qingyu might not have died…"
Shen He calmly shook his head and said in a cold voice,"That won't happen. The murderer didn't plan to let Wu Qingyu live at all. They left long ago.”
Jiang Jiang stood under the dim sky and looked up at the roof, imagining how Wu Qingyu would feel when she stood on the roof.
Pain or despair?
Not far away, Tang Chen ran over in a hurry. He panted heavily and looked anxious." Jiang Jiang, where's Captain Shen?”
"There's a basement down here. Shen He and Ma Luoping went down to check. Why are you in such a hurry?”
At this moment, Shen He happened to walk out of the haunted house with Ma Luoping.
"Captain Shen, my wife is missing!”
"What did you say? Sister-in-law is missing?" Jiang Jiang was anxious.”
Shen He's gaze was cold as he quickly asked,"What did you say?"”
"What happened? Why did sister-in-law suddenly disappear?”
Tang Chen's eyes were red. He was an excellent criminal police officer who was fearless in the face of danger, but at this moment, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do." Captain Shen…When we caught Hu Zhi this afternoon, he said something very strange…He said that something would happen to the bride…Captain Shen…"
"Captain Shen, I…I…I know that the team is mainly in charge of this case, but…can you give me a break? I want to investigate this matter myself. I think my wife is in danger now.”Tang Chen was so anxious that he could not even speak clearly.
Shen He looked calm. He looked at Tang Chen and said coldly,""I suspect that this is a case to begin with. The other party has a plan, a purpose, and has been planning for a long time.”
Tang Chen squatted on the ground and grabbed his hair with a painful expression.
Shen He immediately ordered,"Return to the team immediately!"”
It was late at night, but the entrance of the Jiangzhou City Criminal Investigation Unit was brightly lit.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and everyone's expression was rather solemn.
Xiao Chen walked onto the stage and turned on the projector.
Before he spoke, he glanced at Tang Chen." This is the news that we just found out. The surveillance cameras in Shi Qing's company showed that Shi Qing got off work at 5:30 p. m. At 6:00 p. m., she was found in the surveillance cameras of the Tesco department store 500 meters away from Tang Chen's house. Everyone can take a look. Shi Qing left the supermarket at 6:38 p. m. and bought a lot of groceries.”
A woman holding a supermarket shopping bag appeared on the projection screen. She was wearing a simple white t-shirt and black dress. Her hair was tied loosely behind her head. This person was Tang Chen's new wife.
Tears welled up in Tang Chen's eyes, but he tried his best to hold them back. He had been a criminal police officer for so many years, but he had never felt as afraid as he was now.
Fear of losing.
"Shi Qing should be planning to go home at this time. The roadside surveillance cameras also captured her figure.”
Tang Chen finally calmed down and said,"It's only a short 500 meters from the supermarket to home, and the road isn't remote. On the contrary, there are shops on the street, and the flow of people is also very large. It's basically impossible for someone to kidnap my wife in front of everyone.”
Xiao Chen continued,"I've investigated the surveillance cameras in Tang Chen's elevator, but I didn't find Shi Qing. So, she most likely disappeared on her way home."”
Tang Chen suddenly thought of something and ran out.
"Tang Chen, where are you going?" Xiao Chen called out anxiously.
"He should be heading to the place where Hu Zhi was imprisoned.”Shen He replied.
Tang Chen was like a furious lion. His eyes were red. He kicked open the door of the interrogation room and grabbed Hu Zhi's collar, waking him up from his sleep.
"Where did you take my wife? Tell me!" Tang Chen roared.
Hu Zhi opened his sleepy eyes and smiled sinisterly when he saw the angry Tang Chen.
Tang Chen clenched his fist and punched Hu Zhi's abdomen. He grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He laughed maniacally." Hahaha, something happened to the bride!”It was a joyful tone.
Veins bulged on Tang Chen's forehead. He raised his fist and prepared to throw a second punch.
However, his wrist was being controlled. He turned around and saw Shen He's angry face." Captain Shen, I have to kill him today!”
"Let go, Tang Chen!"
Tang Chen shook his head. The fear in his heart made him lose his mind." I have to kill him today!”
Shen He beat Tang Chen to the ground without any explanation. He took out his handcuffs and wanted to cuff him, but Tang Chen struggled free as if he was possessed.
"Tang Chen, from now on, I won't allow you to participate in this case anymore. Go home immediately!”
Tang Chen looked furious. His eyeballs were red and swollen as if they were bloodshot.
"My wife's life and death are unknown. Can I go home?”
Shen He took a few deep breaths and roared,"Then what's the use of doing this now? It would only delay the speed of the rescue! You're an old criminal investigator. You should know! You're not helping us here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Zhi, who was beside him, laughed again.
