[Serial disappearances], interrogation records and law enforcement recorders.

Number of missing persons: 15.

Date of first incident: 5 March.

Summary of cases: There are four common denominators for each of the recent cases of continuous disappearance in the city of Tajikistan.

1. Before the disappearance, all persons were alone, including places of work, neighbourhoods, residences, etc.;

2. No evidence clues such as footprints, fingerprints, hair or dandruff were found near the missing area.

3. The disappeared persons have all mentioned mysterious footsteps to friends or relatives on the telephone;

4. None of the property was lost.

“Hello, Ms. Li, we are from Fuyang Street Police Station. Regarding the disappearance of your good friend, Ms. Ye Xiaoli, as the first person to discover Ye Xiaoli's disappearance and the first person to report the disappearance, we need to ask you some details in order to help us solve the case as quickly as possible and find Ye Xiaoli as soon as possible. ”

“Oh, oh, okay... what's this? ”

“This is our Law Enforcement Recorder, which is a procedural necessity, and Ms. Lee doesn't have to worry. ”

“Um, okay. I'm sorry, because, because this is the first time I've seen something like this, the first time I've seen a cop, there's, like, a little nervous, and it makes you laugh. ”

“Understandably, then let's continue. ”

“Ok... ok, ask. ”

“At Ye Xiaoli's house, we found Ye Xiaoli's private phone that fell on the ground. By reviewing the call history, we found Ye Xiaoli's last contact number, which is exactly what Ms. Li's phone number is. Ye Xiaoli contacted you 4 times in less than 2 hours. 19: 07 for the first time, 19: 15 for the second time, 19: 59 for the third time, and 20: 39 for the fourth time. The longest call is the third 37 minutes, the last call is the shortest, the call record is only… 5 seconds, and the interval from the third call record is less than 3 minutes, which is equivalent to saying that Ye Xiaoli just hung up the third call, and she called you immediately. Can we ask why Ye Xiaoli talked to you so many times before she disappeared? ”

“I wonder if you believe that in this world... there really is such an unclean... thing? Ooh, the other day she said she was scared, she was scared, her voice on the phone kept shaking..."

“Unclean stuff? Ms. Lee relaxed and said slowly, here, wipe it first. ”

“Thanks, thanks...”

“I think Ms. Lee's current instability is not conducive to our continued questioning by the police, and we can wait for Ms. Lee to be ready before proceeding with the transcript. ”

“I... I'm better now, keep asking, please make sure you find Xiaoli! We must save her! ”

“Ms. Lee, don't worry, this is our job and duty. Ms. Lee said Ye Xiaoli was scared on the phone? ”

“On that day, I... I could tell that Xiaoli was scared... of her voice on the phone, really, really scared! She didn't have the guts to be in our finance office, but that day, on the phone, I could really hear her. Xiaoli was scared and she was very upset! Because the annual leave is just over, there are a lot of financial work. Xiaoli is also the niece of a relative of the boss. There are some financial matters that are out of reach of us outsiders, you know what I mean? That day... Xiaoli left work alone, a few girls in our finance room, who didn't work often, but that day was different, Xiaoli suddenly panicked at 7: 00 pm and called me, her voice was trembling, I could feel her very scared, even her whole body was trembling, she said outside the hallway, there was always a man's footsteps wandering back and forth, walking slowly from the staircase to the office... whoa, whoa, whoa..."

“Ms. Lee, would you like to pause for a moment? ”

“Huh, huh, no, don't... I'm better now. ”

“Mmm.”

“Later, Xiaoli said on the phone that she initially thought someone was making a prank, but every time she yelled who, several times she ran out of the office to find someone, the sound of her footsteps suddenly disappeared. But in a few minutes, the sound of footsteps will appear again, or you can continue to walk slowly from the stairwell, and just keep going back and forth, disappearing every time you get to the office door. It's like... it's like a tape that keeps playing back and forth... like the old cassette tape, two rolls of black tape, that you can put back and forth. ”

“Well, we know that. ”

“Shortly afterwards, Xiaoli called me again, she was scared and anxious, the footsteps were always there, she had not left, it was constantly backwards and looped between the stairwell and the office door, like a cassette tape, Xiaoli had been scared to cry, in the end, she didn't even turn off the computer, she didn't finish her job, she panicked and ran away from the company. ”

“What happened then? Did Ye Xiaoli return home safely? ”

“Well, yes, Xiaoli was scared, she kept on talking to me on the way home from the taxi, she said she was afraid that she would think nonsense again, and she didn't know if the footsteps in the company were a prank, deliberately scared her, just let me talk to her, this time Xiaoli was really scared... wrong! No, right! No, no, no, no. Not at all! Xiaoli just hung up the phone when she got home, but she called again soon, she was crying, screaming and crying repeatedly said that he was coming, he was coming, he was following... Ooh, can you feel it, Xiaoli was alone in despair, her spirit had broken down! ”

“Ms. Lee! What happened to Ye Xiaoli? ”

“ …… ”

“Control your breathing, breathe deeply and exhale slowly, Ms. Lee. Find a way to calm yourself down and calm down. You are in a safe environment where no one can hurt you. ”

“Breathe, breathe... Breathe...”

“Isn't that the sound of footsteps, this time tracking near Ye Xiaoli's rented apartment? ”

“ …… ”

“Ms. Lee, did she tell you that she heard that footsteps again? ”

“ …… ”

“Ms. Lee, please tell us immediately what happened to Ye Xiaoli at the last minute, the shortest call recorded in only 5 seconds? This is about whether our police can find your friend Ye Xiaoli as soon as possible within 24 hours of the most valuable incident. ”

“Please, you must save Xiaoli! The sound of footsteps... The sound of footsteps is at Xiaoli's house, at her house! Step out of the bedroom! Why, why! Xiaoli was crying on the phone all the time! ”

“You mean the sound of footsteps this time, appeared directly in Ye Xiaoli's house?! ”

“ …… ”

“And then what happened? Ms. Lee?”

“ …… ”

“Ms. Lee? Ms. Li!”

“ …… ”

“Li Siya, please cooperate with our police investigation and tell us immediately what Ye Xiaoli saw in the bedroom? Does the suspect appear in front of Ye Xiaoli in person this time? Did Ye Xiaoli last see the suspect? ”

Tongjiang Bridge Lianjiang Falling River Incident , interrogation records, law enforcement recorder, video recording provided by the traffic police station to assist in solving the case, section 212, bridge technical appraisal report, motor vehicle technical appraisal report, car recorder SD storage card, autopsy report.

Number of deaths: 53.

Date of first incident: 2 March.

Case summary: The Tongjiang Bridge, which has just been commissioned for two days in the city, has undergone successive vehicle crashes.

2. None of the occupants of the vehicle survived;

3. No other suspicious vehicles, suspicious personnel or suspicious targets were filmed in the vicinity of Falling River vehicles by viewing the supervision video of the traffic police station.

“Um... Comrade Constable, did you know that in our civil construction industry there is a kind of nondisclosure called... piling? ”

“Living Pile!? ”

“Yes, yes, one thing means the other, but that's a bit taboo after all, and we usually call it ‘stumping' in the official sense. Looks like Comrade Sergeant... believes this? ”

“It's just a feudal superstition, the ignorance of the ancients, the historical customs inherited from Luban. Are you trying to say that the Tongjiang Bridge was connected because of a missing stake? ”

“No, no, it's not... one living pile is missing, it's a river that stops the hips, this place is too harsh, one living pile may not be enough, um... at least a few... living piles are needed to suppress this river. Well, in our line of work, there is a saying: the neighborhood building can't lay down a pile, laying down a living pile can succeed immediately, building a building that used to be a graveyard can't lay down a pile, just laying down a living pile can be done immediately... there is another saying: civil engineering is to sacrifice, building bridges is to live, building bridges is more taboo than raising a flat floor...”

“Pfft! Zhang Chengde, the ancient people are behind superstition. How can you follow the feudal superstition ideology when you are educated in modern science? I see you've been in the construction industry for dozens of years, but you believe in these superstitious powers, saying that it's not in the residential neighborhoods, schools, bridges you built in the past, you've also made several murders, deceived innocent peasant workers, frogs, or homeless people to go underground, and then you poured cement to kill them alive! One last construction accident, avoiding legal liability? I think you're trying to eat peanuts! ”
