Before 7 o'clock, Zhou Song's cell phone rang. He took it out from under his pillow and answered the call just by feeling it.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Zhou Song? Hello, I am a colleague of the Korean team. We met in the lounge yesterday. The Korean team asked me to contact you this morning. Where do you live? I will pick you up...
Hello? Mr. Zhou? Can you hear me? Huh? Why is there no sound?"
Zhou Song: "Xinhai Century, wait for me for twenty minutes."
He hung up the phone and lay there for a few more minutes before taking off his blindfold and sitting up. The curtains in his bedroom were tightly closed, blocking out the sun, but the wall lamp and aromatherapy lamp on the bedside were on all night. At this time, he realized
Hazy, there was a moment of trance, thinking that I was still in last night.
Since returning to China, he has slept until he woke up naturally every day. Today, he woke up very early for the first time. The price of getting up early was that he was very angry when he got up. The moment he opened the curtains, the sun shone all over his body, and he felt that the sun was annoying. After washing,
He picked out a set of clothes from the wardrobe, put them on carefully in front of the full-length mirror, arranged his hair carefully, and sprayed men's perfume on the side of his neck twice to make sure that he was flawless and perfect before he went out.
When he walked out of the gate of the community, he saw a white off-road vehicle on the roadside. The off-road vehicle seemed to have seen him and turned on its double flashes. Zhou Song walked over and the window immediately lowered, and Mu Xuecheng waved to him: "
Hello, good morning."
Zhou Song remembered that he had seen this girl at the Public Security Bureau, so he got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, saying: "Morning."
He was always lackluster when he got up early, and he hadn't fully woken up yet. He put on his seat belt and stopped talking. He folded his arms and leaned back in the chair, closing his eyes and dozing off. Mu Xuecheng didn't know if he was getting up because he didn't want to talk to anyone at this time.
I was so angry that I thought he had such a cold personality, so I stopped talking to him.
After driving through a street, Zhou Song opened his eyelids and looked at the street, and suddenly said: "Stop for a moment."
Mu Xuecheng parked the car on the side of the road and saw Zhou Song unfastening his seat belt and getting out of the car. Just as she was about to ask him where he was going, Zhou Song had already closed the car door and left. She immediately called Han Feilu: "Boss, your friend
Why are you so different from yesterday?"
Over there, Han Feilu was driving to the control site: "What should I say?"
Mu Xuecheng: "Yesterday he was smiling when he saw people, but now he keeps a cold face and doesn't say a word. I suspect he doesn't like me."
Han Feilu thought for a while and said, "He may be angry when he wakes up. Go buy him something to eat. He will be normal after breakfast."
Mu Xuecheng looked to the roadside and saw Zhou Song came back with a bag containing two cups of soy milk and some freshly baked bread. Mu Xuecheng whispered: "He went to buy breakfast by himself. It seems that you
You're right, he's in a bad mood just because he's hungry."
Zhou Song returned to the car, put breakfast in the middle, and said, "Please."
Mu Xuecheng: "Thank you, I'll eat it later."
Zhou Song caught a glimpse of her talking on the phone and asked, "Han Feilu?"
Mu Xuecheng nodded, and Zhou Song stretched out his hand. Mu Xuecheng handed him the phone, but Han Feilu was still talking: "Zhou Song is a bit pretentious, a bit arrogant, a bit mean, and a bit moody.
He is as difficult to serve as an uncle. If he says something unpleasant, just think he is farting."
These words fell into Zhou Song's ears word by word. After Zhou Song heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Officer Han's evaluation of me is extremely accurate. I didn't expect that you and I have not known each other for a long time, but you can see through it."
The essence of my humanity. I don’t know how many lifetimes of blessings I have accumulated to get to know you as my best friend."
Han Feilu choked for a long time: "...In short, Zhou Song is a good man. He is handsome, docile, smart, kind and selfless, and has great love in his heart. When the case is solved, I will definitely apply for a banner for him from the bureau.
.”
Zhou Song snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, I plan to go to Fang Yaqing's house first. What instructions does Officer Han have?"
Han Feilu smiled and said: "There are no instructions, you can do whatever you want, Mr. Zhou. Mu Xuecheng is at your disposal today, don't be polite."
Zhou Song: "Let me tell you one more thing."
Han Feilu: "Say."
Zhou Song: "Hong Yibai is not Hong Ye's son." After saying that, he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Mu Xuecheng, "Officer Mu Xuecheng?"
Mu Xuecheng: "Yes, yes, my name is Mu Xuecheng."
Zhou Song: "Please take me to where Fang Yaqing lives."
Fang Yaqing lives in a remote community in the old city. This community retains the historical features of the last century. Whether it is the mottled walls of the residential buildings or the unattended gates, everything reveals the antiquity and obsolescence of this building. The community
It was neglected and the number of people and vehicles coming in and out was very complicated. Mu Xuecheng had learned about the situation of this community from the street community before coming here. The phenomenon of private renting here was serious, and some owners even rented the houses as offices to some leather companies and self-employed individuals.
In order to make it easier for customers to find their offices, these companies also printed the office locations on cards and pasted them on a main road light in the community. Zhou Song paid attention and counted, and there were only two surveying and mapping companies he saw.
There are a clothing styling room and a mobile phone repair shop. It can be seen how complicated the composition of people entering and leaving this community every day is, and how difficult it is for the police to investigate.
There were also staff members of a certain real estate building wandering around the community. They were wearing uniforms and handing out flyers everywhere. Zhou Song was afraid of the sun, so he took two flyers and put them over his head to block the sun. Mu Xuecheng walked quickly, but
After walking a few steps, he had to stop and wait for Zhou Song, because Zhou Song avoided the sun all the way, choosing the cool shade to set foot, and his steps were always unhurried and unhurried.
Mu Xuecheng didn't know how many times she stopped to wait for him. When he got closer, she couldn't help but remind her: "Mr. Zhou, let's go faster. Our time is very tight."
Zhou Song hated sweating, so he walked as slowly as he could. Faced with Mu Xuecheng's suggestion, he smiled politely and then made up a lie: "I suffer from asthma. If I walk fast, my heart rate will increase. My heart rate is too high."
I will get sick. Please forgive me, Officer Mu."
Mu Xuecheng immediately softened her heart and could only slow down and walk with him. Suddenly, she remembered Lin Daiyu in Dream of Red Mansions, who was also a paper-mâché beauty who would fall down when the wind blew.
Zhou Song looked around and unknowingly came to a six-story unit building. The entrance door of the unit building was open, revealing a dark corridor. There were several old bicycles standing outside the door. Mu Xue
Cheng pointed at this building and said: "Fang Yaqing lives in this building, No. 401. This is the house he bought when he and his wife got married."
Zhou Song blocked the sun and raised his head to look at the fourth floor window: "Fang Lei also lived here before?"
Mu Xuecheng: "Yes, before Fang Lei disappeared, his family of three lived here."
Opposite the unit building is a community wall, and there are several cars parked beside the wall. Mu Xuecheng added: "The pickup truck that Fang Yaqing drove on May 5 was parked under the wall, and it was pulled back to the unit yesterday. Fang Yaqing
The house has been vacant for several days. His neighbor across the street has moved away long ago. I don’t know the exact day he went out and never came back. Do you want to go up and take a look? "
Zhou Song shook his head and continued walking forward: "In other words, the time when Fang Yaqing moved Hong Yibai is unknown, and the vehicle used to move Hong Yibai is unknown."
Mu Xuecheng: "Yes, he didn't drive that pickup truck, but he didn't have any other cars except the second-hand pickup truck in his name. He may have used some means to get other cars. This is what we encountered during our investigation work.
problem."
Zhou Song: "He did not sell the pickup truck, nor did he barter his own car for someone else's car. That leaves only one situation: he stole one."
Mu Xuecheng: "The Korean team also said so, but I went to the police station in this area and asked, and there have been no vehicle thefts recently. If someone's car was stolen, why wouldn't the police be called?"
Zhou Song: "Yes, if the car is stolen, the owner will definitely call the police. Unless the owner has a reason not to call the police."
Mu Xuecheng couldn't understand: "Can't the owner call the police?"
As he walked, Zhou Song stopped and looked at the two cars on the roadside. The two cars were parked in a deserted small garden, with ruts on the ground. Zhou Song approached and lowered his head.
If you look closely, you will see that the ruts are messy and there are many vehicles driving in and out of this small garden.
He walked in, until he reached a place with few ruts, and said, "Look at this mark and the width of the tires. It looks like a van. The marks are a little blurry. They were left two or three days ago."
Mu Xuecheng knelt down to take a closer look, and compared it with the rut next to it: "It is indeed wider than other tire tracks."
Zhou Song raised his hand and pointed around: "Looking at the size of the open space, it should be able to accommodate seven or eight cars at the same time. There are many tire tracks near the roadside, but there are no tire tracks as wide as this Taoist. It means that this place was parked a few days ago.
A van that drove out and never came back."
Mu Xuecheng: "Then we should look for this van, but there are so many residents here, how can we find it?"
Zhou Song turned around, looked at a unit building across the road, and said: "Room 601, Unit 2, Building 3, is a surveying and mapping company. They often need to go to construction sites, and they should need a vehicle that can both carry people and pull people."
Transportation equipment, such as a van. And because this city’s administrative law clearly stipulates that residential areas cannot be used for commercial purposes. If they lose their car and call the police to attract the police, they will be trapped. So even if they lose their car, they will not
Will call the police”
Mu Xuecheng: "Yes, yes, I remembered. As we were walking along the road just now, there was a small advertisement for a surveying and mapping company posted on the street lamp."
On the 6th floor, on the top floor of the unit building, 601 was equipped with a security door. Mu Xuecheng knocked on the door, and the door inside was opened. A young man stood at the door and asked politely: "What do you two want?"
Zhou Song took out the small advertisement he had just removed from the street lamp and showed it to him: "Blue Sky Surveying and Mapping Company?"
The man quickly opened the security door: "Yes, you guys come in first."
After entering the door, there are two rooms and one living room. There are three desks in the living room. A man and a woman are busy. There are surveying and mapping tools piled on the wall. It looks like a small office. Zhou Song said: "It was Mr. Wen from Tianli Construction who introduced me
Come on, I have a project to expand the municipal office building and want to talk to you."
He didn’t know Mr. Wen from Tianli Construction, and even this company was made up by him. But the man who received him would not reveal that he didn’t know Mr. Wen from Tianli Construction, and said enthusiastically: “It turns out he is Mr. Wen’s friend.
Please sit down, both of you. My surname is Wang. You call me Xiao Wang. What is your surname?"
Zhou Song is very good at telling lies with his eyes open, and he and Xiao Wang soon had a good conversation. He felt that the time was ripe and asked Xiao Wang to bring his team and equipment to the construction site now. Xiao Wang of course agreed, but took out his mobile phone and did not know what to do.
Someone made a phone call and asked the other party to bring the car back quickly.
When Zhou Song heard this, he looked at Mu Xuecheng. Mu Xuecheng smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, doesn't your company have a car? It's very inconvenient to travel to construction sites."
Xiao Wang said: "There are cars and there are cars. We have two cars, but one was lost a few days ago and the other was driven away."
Mu Xuecheng: "Is the missing car a van?"
Xiao Wang: "Yes, how do you know?"
Mu Xuecheng put away her smile and took out the police officer's ID card in front of him: "The police are handling the case. Please tell us about the missing van in detail."
Xiao Wang and the other two people immediately became panicked.
Mu Xuecheng said: "I won't investigate your illegal business today, only the van you lost. Please cooperate with us in investigating the case. I won't cause you any trouble in the past two days and give you time to move out."
The van was a silver Jinbei with the license plate number 'j6021'. The last time the surveying and mapping company used the van was at 8pm on May 6th, when it was parked in a deserted garden. The next day they discovered the van was missing as soon as they got to work.
, but did not dare to call the police. The car was already being scrapped and could only be sold for scrap metal if it was resold. If the police discovered that they were operating illegally, they would face high penalties and the risk of license revocation.
Fortunately, the camera on the roadside in front of the community is working normally, and vehicles entering and exiting will be captured by the camera. Mu Xuecheng immediately called Xiao Wu, the technical team member who stayed at the unit, and asked Xiao Wu to screen the night of May 6 from the surveillance.
A silver Jinbei van with license plate number j6021 left the community after 8 o'clock.
Xiao Wu: "Found it. The time when this van drove out of the community was 1 a.m. on the 7th. After leaving the community, he walked along Fangcao Road towards the north of the city. The surveillance system tracked him until he reached the Xinglong shopping mall building. The shopping mall building
There is a construction site under construction to the east. The van left the main road and drove into the construction site. We haven’t found the exit through which he left the construction site yet—"
Zhou Song and Mu Xuecheng returned to the car. Mu Xuecheng turned on the speakerphone and listened to the phone with Zhou Song. Zhou Song listened to the police and built a map in his head. He heard the police say that the van was driving in.
The construction site could not trace its subsequent traces, so he whispered to himself: "Changning Primary School."
Mu Xuecheng: "Changning Primary School?"
Zhou Song: "Fang Lei studied at Changning Primary School before he disappeared. Changning Primary School is on Laojie Road in the north of the city, only a few minutes' drive from Xinglong Shopping Mall." He wiped the dust on the car window with a paper towel, and then carefully wiped his arm
Put on the clean window frame, "Fang Yaqing will not take Hong Yibai to a random place to hide. Like other murderers, he will choose his own psychological safety zone. He wants to ensure that he can control this place and control this place."
Familiar, will not create potential witnesses, can escape in time if there is an accident, and even a place that is meaningful to him. Changning merged the primary and secondary schools two years ago, and Changning Primary School in the north of the city is now an abandoned building.
The building is the last place Fang Lei stayed before he disappeared. If not unexpectedly, Fang Yaqing and Hong Yibai would be in Changning Primary School at this time."
In order not to alert others, Mu Xuecheng parked the car far away and walked about half a kilometer with Zhou Song to Changning Primary School, which was surrounded by a green net. Changning Primary School was to be demolished and rebuilt. It was said that a library was to be built, but it was delayed.
When construction started, they only demolished the school gate and hung up the signboard of a supervision company. The two did not go through the main entrance, but found a place where the wall collapsed and climbed in. When Zhou Song landed, his pants touched the dirt, he shook his head and stopped again.
A burst of slapping.
Mu Xuecheng's eyes were so anxious that she couldn't rush him. She was afraid that if she did, he would get sick and would not be able to explain to Han Feilu. Zhou Song took his time to tidy up his clothes and then walked towards the seven or eight-story complex.
He walked into the teaching building and asked: "Officer Mu, what grade did Fang Lei study in before he disappeared?"
Mu Xuecheng paid attention to her surroundings and did not dare to speak loudly, so she whispered: "Grade 4, Class 3."
Class 3, Year 4?
Zhou Song suddenly stopped again and turned around to look at Mu Xuecheng: "Class 3?"
Mu Xuecheng: "Yeah, class 3. Let's go quickly."
Zhou Song continued walking to the teaching building, but there was a stone in his heart.
The teaching building had been abandoned for a long time. The glass door was half broken, and the ground was covered with thick dust and stains. Mu Xuecheng suddenly stopped Zhou Song, stared at the ground and whispered: "There are footprints, they are fresh."
Zhou Song: "It seems we have found the right place."
Mu Xuecheng: "I didn't see the car outside. He might have hidden the car or gone out temporarily."
She pulled out her pistol from the holster on her waist, gave Zhou Song a wink, and asked him to follow her. Then she held the gun in both hands and silently walked up the stairs. Before she came out of the unit, Han Feilu
He specially handed her an approval slip and asked her to go to the gun warehouse to get the gun. Han Feilu was very worried about the combination of her and Zhou Song, thinking that Zhou Song was a flower stand with golden branches and jade leaves, and Mu Xuecheng's strength and speed were different from the vicious ones.
Male crime was not an advantage, so for safety reasons, Mu Xuecheng was shot.
This was the first time Zhou Song saw a real gun at close range, and his eyes opened slightly: "Gun?"
Mu Xuecheng turned around and raised her eyebrows: "Cool."
Zhou Song felt that her behavior was a bit like that of Han Feilu, very cheerful, brave, and talkative. I wonder if it was because she had been with Han Feilu for too long that she had been assimilated by that guy in a subtle way.
There was only the slightest movement of the two people going upstairs. They reached the fourth floor without anyone noticing. Opposite the stairs was an office. To the west of the office was Class 4, Grade 3. Mu Xuecheng gestured to Zhou Song,
Let Zhou Song stand where she is, and walk along the edge of the corridor alone, keeping half a meter away from the wall, and carefully walk into the classroom door. The door is ajar. She first listens to the movement inside the door. There is no sound inside, and then
Knocking open the door with his elbow, the man rushed to the door and quickly scanned the house with his gun in hand.
Zhou Song stood at the top of the stairs and looked at her, ready to go and help at any time. When he saw Mu Xuecheng nodding towards him, he hurriedly moved over. The two entered the classroom, and Mu Xuecheng closed the door halfway.
, stood by the door, looked out into the corridor, and whispered: "You find someone, I'll look out for you."
The desks in the classroom were all piled up in the back corner, but they were piled scatteredly, as if they had been torn apart and put back together again. Not only that, there was a box of barreled instant noodles and an old bed on the ground.
Mats, a few finished buckets of instant noodles, and a few bottles of mineral water. It was obvious that someone had stayed here for a long time.
Zhou Song walked towards the pile of tables, chairs and benches by the wall and moved the tables and chairs away one by one. Sure enough, he saw a quilt lying in the corner. The quilt was bulging, as if it was wrapped with something. He wanted to lift the quilt,
The person inside suddenly shrank back, as if he was frightened. He whispered: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
As expected, the people inside stopped hiding. Zhou Song opened the quilt and revealed a face he had seen in the photo. It was the missing Hong Yibai. Hong Yibai's mouth was wrapped with tape, and his hands and feet were also wrapped with tape.
He looked at Zhou Song with horrified eyes.
Zhou Song: "Officer Mu, the child has been found."
Mu Xuecheng stared outside: "Get out quickly."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Xuecheng suddenly opened the door and ran out, shouting: "Stop!"
Zhou Song quickly followed him out and saw Mu Xuecheng chasing a man to the end of the corridor and going downstairs along the stairs at the end. He immediately took the same route and ran downstairs. As soon as he reached the third floor, he saw a man wearing a needlepoint hat and wearing a
A man dressed in black ran from the corridor. Mu Xuecheng chased after him, "If you run away again, I'll shoot!"
Zhou Song saw the man's eyes exposed between the mask and hat. The two's eyes passed by each other like lightning. Zhou Song rushed to stop him, but he pushed him away and threw his body against the wall.
boom!
The man's footsteps were stopped by the sound of gunfire, and his body suddenly froze and he stood motionless.
Mu Xuecheng ran behind him with a gun in hand: "Hold your head with both hands, get down!"
When the man didn't move, Mu Xuecheng kicked his leg hard and said, "Get down!"
The man lay face down on the ground. Mu Xuecheng put one knee on his back, took off the handcuffs and cuffed his hands.
Zhou Song walked up to the man, took off his hat and mask, revealing a thin and dark face, and said, "It's him." He threw down his hat and went upstairs again, "Look at him.
I'll pick up the kids."
When he returned to the classroom, Hong Yibai was tearing off the tape on his feet. When he saw him coming back, he couldn't help but shed tears. Zhou Song untied the tape on his feet, held his shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile: "You are very strong."
Hong Yibai: "Where is my mother?"
Zhou Song: "She is waiting for you at home." He still held Hong Yibai's shoulders and looked at his eyes that were red from crying, "I want to ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?"
Hong Yibai nodded.
Zhou Song: "Why did you go to Shuanglong Bridge alone after school that day?"
Hong Yibai took out a bracelet from his pocket and said: "I'm going to look for this. Mom said it was thrown in the pavilion on the dam."
It was a Cartier bracelet, rose gold inlaid with broken diamonds. The sharp cutting surface of the diamond emitted cold light. Zhou Song was dazzled by the light, frowned, and asked: "When did you lose it?"
Hong Yibai: "When my mother took me to Shuanglong Bridge to play last month, it seemed like April...April..."
Zhou Song: "April 3?"
Hong Yibai: "It should be, I can't remember clearly."
Seeing this bracelet, Zhou Song understood everything: Even though Hong Ye was unable to have children, his self-esteem as a man would not allow his wife to have an affair with other men, nor would he raise the children his wife gave birth to with other men, let alone
He would not swallow his anger and raise his children. But he ignored his wife's affair and raised a child that was not his, choosing to tolerate these scandals silently. The reason why he covered up these scandals was to hide another, more sensational scandal.
.
So that's it... But how could Yu Jiao be so vicious?
He took Hong Yibai's hand and went downstairs, took out his mobile phone and called Han Feilu, saying: "I found Hong Yibai, he is still alive. The prisoner is indeed Fang Yaqing, but Fang Yaqing has nothing to do with Yu Jiao's kidnapping case. Fang Yaqing is not an accomplice."
Han Feilu asked him why Hong Yibai went to Shuanglong Bridge alone?
He and Hong Yibai walked to the first floor, where Fang Yaqing, who was handcuffed, squatted beside the wall of the lobby on the first floor. Fang Yaqing heard them coming downstairs and turned to look at them. Zhou Song saw his eyes again, and his eyes seemed to be angry.
The machine was rusty and dull, turbid, old and vicissitudes of life. He looked at Zhou Song without saying a word, but Zhou Song could feel him speaking, but he quickly lowered his head, like a sinner waiting to be killed.
Zhou Song said: "He went to find the bracelet that Yu Jiao left on Shuanglong Bridge on April 3." He stared at Fang Yaqing, with unspeakable sadness in his heart, "On April 3, the night when Qiao Yu died, Yu Jiao looked
