Breaking Through The Clouds

Chapter 75

Teng Wenyan, female, 16 years old, primary school education, shampoo girl in a third-rate beauty salon in Lingzhou City, S province.

In such a big city, there were countless small workshops, without certificates, licenses, or qualifications. Just after installing a few hair wash basins and massage beds, they dare to call themselves beauty salons, opening stores in small alleyways along the big streets, where many young people with no roots or background come and go between bus stations with their bags. Among these low-end groups with frequent movements, it was normal for a little girl to disappear. This incident couldn't even attract the attention of the neighbours in the slums, let alone the police.

But Teng Wenyan's disappearance two years ago was actually recorded at the police station.

This was because she disappeared together with the barber shop worker next door, who had taken half a month's salary in advance from the barber shop owner before disappearing - 800 yuan was the main motivation for the barber shop owner to spend most of the afternoon in the police station to make a report.

"Besides the words 'Teng Wenyan', I can't find any other information about her. Teng Wenyan may not even be her real name, because the proprietress of the beauty salon couldn't find a copy of her ID card - who knows if she even asked for a copy of her ID card. Gao Panqing held the materials that the Lingzhou City Bureau had just faxed and sighed a little: "The barber shop worker named Wang Rui has real identity information that can be investigated. We've already talked to the local police to hurry up, it's a case involving two lives after all."

Yan Xie and Qin Chuan put their heads closer, the latter's eyes were bloodshot because he had stayed up for more than 30 hours in a row.

"Let me think." Qin Chuan held a cigarette and said in a hoarse voice, "Both Wang Rui and Teng Wenyan belong to the lower class in society, and they are high-risk targets that can be easily targeted by criminals. It'll take too much time to check their household registration, which won't help with the case. It'll be better if we concentrate our efforts on Lingzhou City, investigate the whereabouts of the two people on the day they disappeared, and strive to find the burial site as soon as possible - that is, He Liang's execution site, what do you think, Lao Yan?"

Yan Xie crossed his arms, his expression was thoughtful.

Qin Chuan and Gao Panqing stared at him, and it took a while before they heard him suddenly say, "No, we must find out Teng Wenyan's background."

"Why?"

Yan Xie said in his mind: because she was the only one who wasn't a female student.

Jiang Ting had explained before that the ritual is usually an external projection of an inner picture. That is to say, when the King of Spades chose a little girl as a substitute, it was strictly based on Jiang Ting as the prototype; but there aren't too many requirements for boys, they are just a tool to sustain the execution complex.

Both Bu Wei and Li Yuxin are female students, and they are very well-behaved and conservative little girls with good grades, which are in line with the characteristics of Jiang Ting as a student in his youth. Only Teng Wenyan dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school and went to work. That is to say, the similarities between Teng Wenyan and Jiang Ting are likely to be in their background.

What kind of family did she come from? Did she wander from place to place, suffering from humiliation?

Which part of Jiang Ting does she overlap within the King of Spades' mind?

Yan Xie's phone vibrated suddenly and he received a new message: [Are you busy? I'm at the entrance of the city bureau. Come out to eat.]

Qin Chuan tilted his body forty-five degrees: "Who is it? Did you fall in love?!"
