The man and woman disappeared mysteriously after renting a house in the mountains. After investigation, the police accidentally led to the black industry

Dongling Village is a small village located in Shangshu Township, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Thanks to the beautiful scenery of the mountainous areas in northern Zhejiang and the strong support of the local government, this originally inconspicuous place has become a tourist village. Local residents have also taken advantage of this tourism boom to set up farmhouses and B&Bs, and their lives can be described as prosperous and happy. However, everything that happened in May 2021 cast a veil of mystery over this tourist destination. So what kind of thing has such a big influence?

Mysterious Guest

Dongling Village surrounded by mountains

2021 May 13, because it is now the off-season for tourism. Dongling Village still seemed a little deserted. Lao Chen is the owner of a local B&B. He sees that there have been very few foreign tourists recently, so he has not gone out to solicit business. Choose to enjoy your leisure time at home.

However, not long after, the appearance of a middle-aged man and woman broke the peaceful atmosphere. The two people looked panicked and had wandering eyes. They didn't look like tourists on vacation at all. The man came to Lao Chen, handed over two ID cards in a familiar manner, and said to him: Boss, do you have long-term rental business here? We want to live with you for a month.

This sudden big business made Lao Chen extremely happy. He took the ID card respectfully, asked the two of them to sit down, and said in a kind tone: Yes, yes, it is the off-season, the price I will give you some discounts. If you enjoy your stay, you will come back often. After the two parties discussed the price, the man and woman quickly moved into the room. What is strange is that during this process, they did not have much communication with Boss Chen, neither bargaining for prices nor consulting local tourist attractions. They just asked Lao Chen to move faster. They said that they came from Shanghai and drove for a long time, and now they urgently needed a rest.

B&B owner

There is another detail that deserves everyone's attention, that is, the couple did not bring much luggage, unlike people who came to stay for a long time. All these suspicious things were ignored by Lao Chen gracefully. Although Dongling Village is located in a remote mountainous area, the local security has always been very good, and no vicious cases have ever occurred. Therefore, Lao Chen felt that the characters of this man and woman were just a little strange, and did not imagine criminal aspects.

In the next few days, everything was fine. Boss Chen will prepare meals for them every day, and the couple will accept Chen's kindness very wisely. But from beginning to end, neither of them disclosed their itinerary plans to Boss Chen. They even refused the room cleaning service inside the B&B. , the two of them almost never stepped out of the door. But even so, every time Lao Chen met them, the men always had sad expressions on their faces, while the women remained silent. It seemed as if the two of them had suffered a huge blow, which was what puzzled Lao Chen the most.

On the morning of May 22, Lao Chen was mopping the floor in the reception hall on the first floor of the B&B. Suddenly two black figures quickly passed behind him. He knew very well that this was the behavior of the man and woman. Upon seeing this, Lao Chen immediately said: You guys got up so early, breakfast is already prepared, come and eat. However, before he could finish his words, the figures of the two men and women disappeared from his sight. Boss Chen was extremely puzzled and even uttered something: What happened to the rich people from other places now? They looked like two fugitives who were not having fun. However, what happens next will soon make him understand what a prophecy means.

Mountain Village at Night

In the evening, Lao Chen prepared dinner to welcome the two guests back. But after waiting for a long time, the man and woman were never seen. Seeing a table of good wine and delicious food gradually turning cold. Boss Chen had no choice but to call the number reserved by the couple when they checked in.

However, contrary to expectations, the phone could not be connected. The atmosphere also gradually became weird and weird. At this moment, Lao Chen felt a little frightened. He couldn't help but think: the complex environment in the mountains can easily make people lose their way. Moreover, there are many undeveloped barren mountains and old forests around the village. If you accidentally step into them, the consequences will be disastrous.

It is getting later and later, and visibility is very limited even on village roads with street lights. Not to mention the pristine mountainous areas. At this moment, Lao Chen became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He immediately called 110 to report the situation. Facing a major case of missing persons. The police comrades rushed to the scene of the incident.

However, what everyone does not know is that this complex case involving disappearance, injury, escape and fraud has just begun.

Under investigation

Search and rescue in the mountains

A peaceful and peaceful resort, two mysterious and panicked outsiders, and multiple serious and responsible investigating police officers. What kind of sparks can be created between these three?

With the arrival of multiple police cars, the dark and quiet night in Dongling Village was broken. It was past 9 pm. Lao Chen came to the policeman with a flashlight and said anxiously: Comrade police, my two residents went out in the morning and have not returned yet. They are afraid they are lost in the mountains. As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of the dark foothills in the distance.

Because the scope of the search was so large, the police handling the case immediately launched a mobilization in Dongling Village, calling on the villagers to work with the police to find the missing persons. It is said that the relationship between the police and the public is like fish in water. The simple and enthusiastic local villagers immediately responded to the call. They took out their flashlights, speakers, and walkie-talkies and got ready to go. A massive search and rescue team was formed.

Search and Rescue Team

At around 9:20 pm, everyone plunged into the invisible mountains from multiple directions. In valleys, bamboo forests, bushes, and even on the edge of cliffs, the sound of trumpet calls rises and falls. More than two hours passed like this, and the time had reached 11 o'clock. Everyone still found nothing.

To make matters worse, a heavy rain visited the local area at this moment. The temperature in the mountains dropped sharply and the roads became muddy and slippery. This greatly delayed the search and rescue work. But the most terrifying thing is not just that, as the sky gets darker. Dense fog gradually formed in the mountainous area, and even with the blessing of a flashlight, visibility was still very low. The search and rescue team could only move slowly, step by step.

Among them, some people slipped and fell; some were stabbed by thorns; and even some were attacked by wild snakes. The entire search process can be described as full of dangers. While everyone was searching hard in the mountains and forests, the insider of the case, Lao Chen, was also deeply involved in the mystery

The detective police asked him: Do you know the possible whereabouts of the missing person? He shook his head , recounted: I don’t know, they have been staying at my place for more than a week, but rarely go out. The two of them spoke very little, which was very strange.

Missing persons

Then do you know the purpose of their coming here? This question from the police officer on the case confused Lao Chen. He scratched his head and answered with a half-smile. The strange missing person, the hotel owner with little knowledge, and the long-term lack of progress in the search and rescue work made the police officer handling the case frown. It seemed that things were far from being as simple as they seemed.

Time passed and it was already dawn. Even with the use of high-end equipment such as police dogs and thermal imaging sensors, the search and rescue team could not find even half a person. He could only be forced to return without success. Lao Chen felt very uncomfortable when he saw these police officers and villagers who had been busy all night. At this time, a voice came from the crowd: We almost turned over the entire mountainous area to search. Is it possible that these two people did not go up the mountain at all?

This sentence can be said to wake up everyone, so Almost everyone shifted the direction of investigation to another direction and fled in fear of crime. So how many hidden secrets are there?

Dark Depths

Suspicious Woman

Every household in Dongling Village is an individual business owner, so the coverage of surveillance is still Very broad. The police immediately called the surrounding surveillance cameras and immediately made a shocking discovery.

At 7 pm on May 22, the woman came to the door of the B&B. Surveillance footage showed that she was looking around and pacing back and forth outside the door, as if she was letting loose. After just a few minutes, she turned away and disappeared into the night.

What happened next was even more unexpected. Three hours later, at 10 p.m., the woman appeared in the same surveillance screen again. It can be seen that the guess that the man and woman did not enter the mountain was correct. Two clues can be drawn from the monitoring. First of all, the man and woman are not missing; second, there is definitely something wrong with them.

In order to get closer to the truth, the police officers investigating the case searched the rooms where the two people had stayed before. The two seemed to have left in a hurry. The luggage and bedding in the room were in a mess, and there were very few clues to be found. But less does not mean none, and soon an attentive police officer found a wrinkled notebook under the bed.

Picture Source Network

After opening it, I saw a variety of license plate numbers clearly listed inside. They are available all over the country, and each license plate number is followed by the corresponding number and unit (tons). What is something that every vehicle needs and is measured in tons? The answer is clear: fuel.

After subsequent investigation, it was found that most of the license plate numbers recorded in the notebook belonged to large passenger trucks, and they all had one thing in common, that is, they were all powered by diesel. As the police uncover clues, more and more clues are emerging. But the whereabouts of the two people are still a mystery at this moment.

However, a scene during surveillance at the entrance of Dongling Village became a major breakthrough in this case. According to surveillance, at around 2 a.m. on May 23, the mysterious woman got into a red SUV at the entrance of the village. The license plate number of the suspect vehicle was clearly captured by surveillance cameras.

Arrest the mysterious owner

The police followed the clues and quickly found Li, the owner of the SUV. After interrogation, Li truthfully confessed what he knew: he was the younger brother of Ju's (woman), and he came to pick her up on the order of his sister. Then the two of them headed to Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. While driving, he picked up another man halfway. And 2 hours later, they were sent to the entrance of a supermarket in the suburbs of Jiangyin.

With Li’s confession, the entire case became clear. The police went to Jiangyin, and after mobilizing supermarket surveillance and questioning surrounding residents, they quickly arrested two people in a nearby small house.

During their subsequent interrogation, the two confessed a crime story that was worthy of a legal program. Mei (a man) from Henan has been engaged in the illegal business of blending diesel in Shanghai. Simply put, it uses low-cost materials such as alcohol, ethanol, and even cooking oil. Add to normal diesel fuel. Then sell it to the seller at a price lower than the market price. This kind of inferior behavior of shoddy goods must have a high risk factor.

On May 11, 2021, an oil truck under the name of Mei had an accident while driving. Many people were injured, more than ten cars were burned, and direct property losses exceeded one million. Mei knew that the matter had been exposed and did not want to take responsibility, so he took his mistress Ju and started to abscond.

However, Skynet is very sparse and does not leak out. Such sneaky and evil people cannot escape the punishment of the law after all. The arrest of the two people also confirms another fact. China's criminal investigation methods are so sophisticated that even such bizarre cases can be solved within a week. So friends, please remember not to do evil for small things
