After Feng Jing finished speaking, he got on with his work. Every missing person had to be carefully analyzed. It was very likely that these seemingly ordinary missing person cases were actually major homicide cases.
The three of them sat quietly in the records room. Other than the flipping of documents and the clicking of the keyboard, the room was so quiet that one could almost hear their heartbeats.
“We can only zoom in on these five people.” Lin Jia weakly handed the organized form to Feng Jing and heaved a sigh of relief. “The characteristics of these people, their appearances, and the places they frequented are all similar. I really can’t find anything else.”
Feng Jing looked at the forms that Lin Jia had organized and felt that he was no less efficient than Ji Yu.
“Then go back and rest first. We’ll contact you if anything happens.”
Looking at the calm Feng Jing in front of him, Lin Jia felt as if he had met an irresponsible scumbag. “You are a real ingrate.”
“Alright, I really have to go back. It’s almost the weekend. I still have to organize my work in advance.” Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao, who was still reviewing the documents, and said with concern, “Little sister Xiaotao, you should rest early too. Don’t stay up too late.”
“Got it. Brother Lin Jia, you should go home early.” Seeing that Lin Jia was about to leave, Yin Tao stood up from her chair.
“Don’t forget our date. I’ll pick you up this weekend.” Before Lin Jia left, he whispered a few words into Yin Tao’s ear. Even if Feng Jing didn’t deliberately eavesdrop, he still heard what Lin Jia said.
After Lin Jia left, Feng Jing couldn’t help feeling curious and asked Yin Tao, “What are you and Lin Jia planning to do this weekend?”
“To attend Brother Lin Jia’s grandfather’s birthday banquet.” Yin Tao answered Feng Jing’s question while flipping through the documents. She didn’t even raise her head.
“So it’s about the birthday banquet…” Hearing Yin Tao’s reply, Feng Jing relaxed a little. “Lin Jia’s grandfather is 80 years old this year. If I can find the time, I’ll go with you to take a look.”
Yin Tao didn’t expect that Feng Jing would say this, so she was hesitating whether she should tell Feng Jing about Lin Jia asking her to pretend to be his girlfriend.
“Brother Feng, has Brother Lin Jia ever had a girlfriend?” Yin Tao felt that Lin Jia didn’t look like someone without a girlfriend at all.
“Of course he had. Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Feng Jing didn’t think that Yin Tao would be curious about Lin Jia’s personal matters and was curious why she wanted to know.
“It’s nothing. I’m just curious about why Brother Lin Jia is still single.” Yin Tao sincerely wished that Lin Jia could find a girlfriend so she wouldn’t have to face such a situation.
“He hasn’t always been single.” Feng Jing realized that he shouldn’t be talking about this with Yin Tao. He coughed awkwardly and explained, “Perhaps he hasn’t met anyone suitable yet.”
Yin Tao knew that the person Lin Jia liked in the original novel should be Yin Ning, but from the looks of it, Lin Jia had not interacted with Yin Ning as much as she had. There was no hope for Lin Jia and Yin Ning. Many things in the original novel had already changed.
Glancing at the form that Lin Jia had compiled, Yin Tao asked Feng Jing, “The missing persons that Brother Lin Jia compiled do have similarities.”
“I just read the detailed report on the missing persons case. The exact time of disappearance for the five missing persons that Brother Lin Jia sorted out couldn’t be confirmed.” Yin Tao felt that the reason for these people’s disappearance was very likely the same.
“You’re right. In fact, I’ve already conducted a detailed investigation on these people.” Feng Jing switched over to another interface. The personal information and social relations of these missing people were clearly written on it.
“You’ve already discovered that there’s something wrong with these missing person cases?” Yin Tao widened her eyes in disbelief. If Feng Jing had already discovered these problems, then Lin Jia’s efforts would have been in vain.
“I want to confirm this again, just to be sure. Lin Jia is meticulous. I trust him more.”
Although Feng Jing had a smile on his face, Yin Tao still felt that the man in front of her was a little scary. She didn’t know how Lin Jia had offended him.
“Then as long as we start with these five missing persons, we should be able to find new clues.” Yin Tao felt that Li Ting’s disappearance was very similar to these girls. They were not immediately discovered, but slowly lost contact. It didn’t seem like they had accidentally disappeared from their ordinary lives.
“That’s the only thing we can do now. The time of Li Ting’s disappearance is very different from the time of her death. It’s very likely that these missing people were not killed, so we have to act quickly.” Feng Jing felt that since the reason for Li Ting’s death was suicide, it meant that the murderer’s real goal was not to kill. If the case could be solved as soon as possible, there would be less victims.
