Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1108 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 31)

He shrugged nonchalantly, as if he had just remembered.

"Hmm, I can't quite remember."

"It's in the bottom drawer of your desk. You locked it before, saying you were afraid of losing a crucial clue."

The officer pointed to the desk in front of him, his eyes showing a hint of sympathy.

Everyone in the department knew that Officer Willie was practically obsessed with the Luna case.

Xie Chenzhou thanked him, looked down at his desk, and sure enough, saw that the bottom drawer was locked.

Perhaps he had truly reached a certain point of patience, for Xie Chenzhou didn't even use the key to unlock the lock. Instead, he grabbed the lock, applied slight pressure with his fingertips, and with a soft "click," the lock bolt snapped off.

When Xie Chenzhou opened the drawer, there was a thick stack of files neatly folded inside. The covers were yellowed, and two words were clearly written on them in faded ink: Luna.

He pulled out the file, slowly turned the pages, his fingertips tracing the yellowed pages bearing the marks of time, and began to carefully unravel the threads of this long-standing case.

The case file clearly states at the beginning that the incident occurred in late autumn eight years ago.

The reason this case caused such a sensation in the city at the time was not because of the bloody methods used, but because of the victim Luna's special identity and life circumstances.

Tucked inside the file was a yellowed photograph. The girl in the photo had blonde hair and blue eyes, a slender figure, and was wearing a white ballet dress. She stood under the spotlight on the stage, smiling with bright and gentle eyes.

The information clearly states that Luna was a well-known ballet dancer at the time, with outstanding talent and a promising future. In fact, just a week before her disappearance, she had accepted a marriage proposal from her fiancé of three years, achieving success in both her career and love life.

At the time, she was preparing to go abroad to participate in an important international ballet competition, and then return to marry her fiancé.

But no one expected that this competition would become the end of her life.

As is Luna's habit, before every important competition, she would turn off all communication devices and lock herself at home to practice dancing, cutting herself off from all external interference.

That's why, when the day she was supposed to leave for the competition arrived, her parents and fiancé couldn't reach her and didn't see her, only to find that she had already disappeared.

All that remained in the room were neatly folded dance dresses and unpacked suitcases. There were no signs of a struggle, no extortion messages; Luna seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Her family was relatively wealthy, and in an era before cameras were common, they had installed one in their home. Unfortunately, since it was newly installed, it didn't capture any useful information.

The person in charge of the disappearance case at the time was the original owner, Willie Sherson.

Tucked inside the file were several pages of Willie's handwritten notes, the handwriting messy yet revealing his stubbornness. It turned out that Willie was a loyal fan of Luna, and had been following her since her first stage performance.

Perhaps it was this special feeling that made him pay special attention to this case. His notes meticulously recorded every detail of the investigation, from Luna's relatives and friends to her colleagues in the dance troupe and her neighbors, and even the staff of the coffee shop she frequented.

As Xie Chenzhou traced the densely packed words with his fingertips, he could clearly feel the original owner's anxiety and resentment back then, and even Luna's parents' heartbreak.

Her fiancé was initially quite anxious and cooperated with the investigation, but this persistence did not last long.

Tucked inside the file was a news briefing from five years ago, which reported that Luna's fiancé had remarried. The briefing was full of blessings for the newlyweds, as if the unforgettable missing fiancée had long since become a thing of the past.

Xie Chenzhou picked up the photo of Luna and pursed his lips in deep thought.

The girl's appearance was typical of a Western beauty, and he didn't find anything particularly remarkable about her.

He continued scrolling down and saw Willie's investigation records from back then. Not only his close friends, but even the final winner of that competition was listed as a suspect by Willie. After all, Luna was the favorite to win the championship, and the other party had enough motives.

However, everyone investigated had impeccable alibis, and there was no clue linking them to Luna's disappearance.

"An unsolved case from eight years ago..."

Xie Chenzhou murmured softly, his expression indifferent.

Who is the murderer?

Are they strangers who turned to hate because of love?

Is he a paranoid person hiding behind the identity of a fan?

Or is there some unknown grudge?

These questions flashed through his mind but did not linger for long.

His movements as he flipped through the files appeared steady, but his knuckles were already white from the force, and the restlessness surging deep in his eyes was almost overwhelming his reason.

He didn't care about Luna's whereabouts or who the murderer was. He only cared about where Miaomiao was, whether she was doing well, and whether she had been wronged.

The system said she was not in mortal danger, but "not in mortal danger" does not mean "not harmed".

Miaomiao has such a strong personality, how helpless would she be if she encountered a difficult situation?

The most terrifying thing is that he has no idea who Miaomiao is. At least until he sees the person Miaomiao is playing, he will not have any sense of her, whether she is male or female, or even whether she is old or young. But one thing is certain: her identity must also be related to Anna.

This aligns with the game's rules and the principle of fairness that the game constantly pushes the boundaries of, yet dares not disobey.

So, his current role is that of the police officer in charge of [Luna], but what about Miaomiao?

He didn't want her to be Luna.

Xie Chenzhou forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued to flip through the files, his eyes fixed on Luna's whereabouts records in the month before her disappearance.

Aside from occasionally attending gatherings with friends, going on dates with his fiancé, and shopping for groceries at the supermarket, he spends most of his time going back and forth between home and the dance troupe. Of course, he also goes to his parents' house for dinner once a week, but he has no other social activities.

Because of the distance from home, the parents were worried and even installed cameras in the house, which was considered very advanced for this era.

Overall, Luna's life is as simple as a blank sheet of paper. Apart from her outstanding appearance and career, which many people might envy, there is no indication that she might be in danger.

Moreover, according to the information, this girl is a well-behaved child and a very kind person.

But the more it's like this, the more eerie it seems.

A seemingly flawless disappearance case inevitably hides overlooked details.

And what they came here to find was undoubtedly these hidden details.
