Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 977 Serial Kidnapping Case!
Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question, Huang Jingye replied with certainty, "Captain Li! Would I joke about something like this? I feel that our station's case of the missing 'Boss' is related to the two cases of missing 'Boss' that happened at Xiluoyuan Police Station, so I called the branch."

Within a month, two cases of manual laborers went missing at the Xiluoyuan Police Station, and then another case of a manual laborer went missing at the Railway Station Police Station. All three missing persons were manual laborers. Li Xianjin’s intuition told him that there must be a connection between these three cases.

Realizing this, Li Xianjin frowned and asked Huang Jingye with a serious expression, "Old Huang! Is the person who reported the case still at your police station? If so, please send a car to take the person to the branch office."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's instructions, Huang Jingye immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Li! I will personally drive the person who reported the case to the branch office now."

Upon hearing Huang Jingye's reply, Li Xianjin immediately smiled and said to Huang Jingye, "Old Huang! Then I'll trouble you."

After hanging up Huang Jingye's call, Li Xianjin, recalling what Huang Jingye had just said on the phone, immediately instructed Lao Xie, who was standing beside him, "Lao Xie! Call all the police stations in our jurisdiction right now and ask if they have received any similar cases of Ban Ye's disappearance in the past month or two."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's instructions and seeing Li Xianjin's solemn expression, Lao Xie immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Li! I'll call the local police station right now and ask if any similar cases have occurred."

Upon hearing Lao Xie's reply, Li Xianjin immediately instructed him, "Lao Xie! I'll call the Xiluoyuan Police Station myself when I get back to the office. You're in charge of calling the other police stations."

Li Xianjin quickly returned to his office, then reached for the phone on his desk, shook the handset a few times, and picked up the receiver, saying in a very serious tone, "Is this the switchboard? Could you please connect me to the Xiluoyuan Police Station?"

"Hello! This is Xiluoyuan Police Station. Who is this?" After the phone rang for more than a minute, a middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing the inquiry on the phone, Li Xianjin asked with a serious expression, "This is Li Xianjin from the branch office. Who is on duty at your station tonight?"

"Captain Li! Good evening. Tonight, Deputy Chief Chen is on duty at our station. Please wait a moment, I'll go and call Deputy Chief Chen to answer the phone now?" Upon hearing Li Xianjin's inquiry, the police officer on duty immediately spoke respectfully to Li Xianjin.

"Captain Li! Good evening. Why did you call our station so suddenly today? Is there any instruction you need?" Li Xianjin didn't have to wait long before Deputy Director Chen's polite voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing Deputy Director Chen's question, Li Xianjin immediately asked, "Director Chen! I heard that your station has had two cases of missing persons in the past month or so? Is that true?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question, Deputy Director Chen showed a surprised expression and asked Li Xianjin curiously, "Captain Li! It is indeed true, but who told you this?"

Upon hearing Deputy Director Chen's question, Li Xianjin immediately asked, "Director Chen! Don't worry about who told me this; just tell me the details of these two missing porters." Deputy Director Chen, sensing something amiss with these cases, quickly explained, "Captain Li! On the 25th of last month, a middle-aged woman came to our station to report that her husband had taken a moving job with another porter, but after going there, he disappeared without a trace."

"On the 13th of this month, a middle-aged couple came to our station to report a case. Their eldest son was working near the grain station, and he took a moving job with two porters. After that, he disappeared without a trace. The porter who took the job with their son also disappeared without a trace."

Upon hearing Deputy Director Chen's report, Li Xianjin's face darkened, and he questioned Deputy Director Chen sternly: "Two cases of missing bosses within a month are clearly not accidental, but organized and premeditated. Why didn't your Xiluoyuan Police Station report this to the branch bureau?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question and sensing the anger in his tone, Deputy Director Chen immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly reported to Li Xianjin: "Captain Li! We thought that our station was fully capable of solving these two missing persons cases, so we did not report them to the branch bureau."

At this point, Deputy Director Chen tentatively asked, "Captain Li! Have similar cases occurred in other police stations as well?"

When Li Xianjin heard Deputy Director Chen's question, he thought of the similar cases that had occurred at the train station police station. He replied with a serious expression, "Old Chen! If it were just an ordinary missing persons case, your station would handle it without any problem. But these two cases of missing bosses are clearly serial disappearances. Are serial disappearances cases something your police station can investigate?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question and sensing the anger in his words, Deputy Director Chen, who knew Li Xianjin's personality very well, immediately realized that similar cases must have occurred in other police stations, otherwise Li Xianjin would not have been so angry.

Sensing Li Xianjin's anger, Deputy Director Chen replied guiltily, "Captain Li! Weren't you investigating the headless female corpse case recently? To avoid causing trouble for the branch office, Lao Ye thought it best to arrange for someone to start the investigation first."

Upon hearing Deputy Director Chen's explanation, and considering the personality of Director Ye of Xiluoyuan Police Station, Li Xianjin could only suppress his anger and instructed Deputy Director Chen, "Old Chen! Send someone immediately to deliver the case files of these two cases to the branch office."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's instructions, Deputy Director Chen immediately replied respectfully, "Captain Li! I will personally deliver the case file to the bureau right now."

Deputy Director Chen paused slightly after saying this, then asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Have similar cases occurred in other police stations as well?"

When Li Xianjin heard Deputy Director Chen's question, he replied in a very serious tone: "Today, there was also a case of a 'boss' disappearance at the train station police station. The other party used the excuse of moving to take two 'bosses' away from the train station square."

When Deputy Director Chen learned that a similar case had occurred at the train station police station, he thought of their investigation results over the past few days and asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Those 'bossmen' have neither money nor status, so why would the kidnappers abduct them?"
