Although Liu Li did not return to the dormitory that night, her fellow factory workers did not realize that something was wrong.

Everyone is an adult, and the dormitory management in the factory is not as strict as in a school dormitory.

It is common to be away for the night.

Considering privacy issues, others are reluctant to ask questions.

Even during the subsequent investigation, one of Liu Li's roommates said they knew Liu Li had come to find me.

So when she didn't return to the dormitory, they thought she slept with me and assumed I had taken advantage of her!

The next day, Liu Li didn't show up for work.

I was very angry, thinking this girl was too unreliable. She had just promised to turn over a new leaf the previous night, but as a result,

she immediately skipped work.

What an incurable case.

So I called Liu Li, but her phone was turned off.

The third day, she still didn't show up.

The fourth day, there was no trace of her.

Only then did I feel that something was truly wrong.

I contacted Liu Li's hometown; she had not gone back home nor contacted her family either.

I went to Liu Li's dormitory, and she had not even taken her ID card.

So where had she gone?

Thus, I reported it to the police.

Luckily, within seven days, the factory's surveillance footage had not been overwritten, and we could search for Liu Li's whereabouts through the surveillance.

But an incredibly bizarre scene appeared!

The surveillance showed that Liu Li entered my office at 9:31 PM on the night of the incident.

At 9:56 PM, she left my office.

The office building I was in is only 800 meters in a straight line from the female dormitory where Liu Li stayed.

There is an artificial lake with a lawn in between.

Because some Taihu stones by the lake block the view, that area is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras.

Liu Li disappeared there!

She never appeared on the camera again!

This bizarre disappearance first alarmed the entire factory and then the entire city.

Because everyone knew about the recent highly publicized "missing student" incident.

The two cases had a lot of similarities, which drew even more attention.

Especially after some self-media platforms posted it online, the news spread beyond the local area and became an internet hot topic.

And I became the prime suspect!

The police came to question me.

I couldn’t provide any valuable clues.

Although the police had no evidence to prove I had any issues, they were already investigating my social background, family relations, and colleague reputations.

Such as my wife's affair.

They also sent people to search the artificial lake.
