dead innocent

City Bureau office building, outside the director’s office on the fifth floor, the staff members passing by in the corridor walked around an open space in front of the office with trembling eyes, and hurried past the director’s office like a time bomb, not even daring to wink at the opposite side. Colleagues meet.

Yang Ju's roar of smashing pots and bowls came out from the crack of the door, spreading through the air to every corner of the building with the vitality of self-improvement, echoing rumblingly.

"What right does he, Chu Xingyun, have to go out without permission?! Who will allow him to go out? As the vice-captain, wouldn't you stop him? It's his turn to call the shots if I'm not around for a day?! Your pair of partners still It’s really a solid wall and an iron wall to the outside world!”

"...we are contacting him."

"I think you're covering him up! He brought Qin Xiao to me and let him go. Do you know how much pressure Director Qin put on me? Now give me an idea, whether to let Qin Xiao go or not to let go ?!"

As soon as Yang Kaitai walked outside the door, he was overwhelmed by Bureau Yang's roar, panicked, and quickly opened the door: "Don't let it go!"

Fu Yi was standing in front of the desk, looking slightly tired with his head bowed while being scolded, holding his own glasses in his hand, and frowned and looked towards the door.

Yang Kaitai rushed to the desk in two or three steps, straightened his eyebrows and said confidently: "We have Jiang Yi's testimony, Qin Xiao is the one who picked up Fang Yu, why let him go!"

Yang Ju bit his back molars to death, and stared at him for a while: "Who let you in? Do you have a place to talk? Get out!"

Instead of going out, Yang Kaitai took a step forward: "Dad, you can't let Qin Xiao go. If you let him go, you're giving him a chance to destroy the body."

Yang Ju laughed back angrily: "According to what you said, do you know where he hid the body?"

Yang Kaitai stubbornly puffed out his chest: "We will find it soon."

"Immediately? Immediately for how long? Do you know that we detain him for up to two days."

Yang Kaitai wanted to say something, but he put a hand on his shoulder, and immediately fell silent.

Fu Yi pressed his shoulders and walked two steps forward, frowning tightly pinched the corners of his eyes, and said to Ju Yang: "Two days, let's go to work first, Ju Yang."

When they were about to go out, Ju Yang suddenly left Yang Kaitai behind and asked Fu Yi to close the door.

"You tell me the truth."

Yang looked worried and said, "Why did Chu Xingyun go?"

Yang Kaitai stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, looked down at the green plants on the table, and said, "I don't know, anyway, Team Chu can't go out to play."

Yang Ju's sharp eyes were nailed to his face like a needle awl: "You followed him all day, didn't you pay attention to his movements?"

Yang Kaitai heard the strangeness in his words, raised his head wondering: "What movement?"

Director Yang thought over and over again, and decided to reveal some important secrets to him, and kept secret: "Commissioner Chen called me just now and asked me to fully cooperate with his investigation. Although he didn't make it clear, I also know that what he said was aimed at Tan Xiao. investigation."

Although Yang Kaitai doesn't understand the collusion and support among officials, he can also understand that there must be a reason for the east wind blowing from Commissar Chen of the Police Department.

"I've been following Team Fu for the past few days, and I don't know what Team Chu is doing. It's a good thing that Commissar Chen supports our investigation. What are you worried about?"

Yang Guang sighed deeply, his two thick eyebrows were inextricably entangled, and said: "What method did Chu Xingyun use? How could he bypass the He family to find Commissar Chen? Now even I am passive. "

Yang Kaitai really didn't understand what he said, and said simply and bluntly: "As long as he can solve the case, and the higher authorities support us in investigating the case, it won't do you any harm."

Director Yang glared at him: "If he can't convict Qin Xiao, have you thought about my situation? You still speak up for him stupidly."

"Impossible, Qin Xiao killed someone, and now he is involved in two murder cases, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

Seeing his innocent face with straight brows and staring eyes, Ju Yang was deeply disturbed, and raised his chin toward the door: "Go to work."

Yang Kaitai walked out according to his words, stopped at the door, turned his head and complained: "Don't scold our Captain Fu, he has only slept for three or four hours these days, looking for clues day and night, his eyes are red. Now the burden is entirely on him, and you still scold him."

Director Yang: ...

If the son fails, both elbows will be turned outward! .

After finishing speaking, Yang Kaitai pointed to a box of green tea on his table: "Give me that box of tea leaves, Captain Fu has almost ruined his stomach from drinking coffee these two days."

Director Yang didn't say anything, he did it himself, picked up the tea and left.

After making a cup of tea in the tea room, Yang Kaitai returned to the police office with the cup in hand.

Several police officers of the technical team are checking the street videos provided by Jiang Yi one by one, and according to the radial image of the monitoring with the blue Ruitu image radiating to a radius of ten miles, after visiting the street shops and checking the videos day and night, Finally found the picture of the last time Blue Ruitu appeared in the surveillance.

On a side road from Hualing North Street to the old town in the southern suburbs, the whereabouts of Lan Ruitu is unknown.

Fu also remembered that the tires of the blue Ruitu were stained with cement. Let's assume that it was stained on September [-]st. In this way, there are indeed several construction sites in the southern suburbs, or bridges and roads are being repaired.

Yang Kaitai walked up to him, looked at the frozen image on the screen, and handed the teacup to him: "Any clues?"

Fu Yi took the teacup, blew away the steam rising from the surface of the cup, and said decisively: "Organize all the free field work now, follow me."

After finishing speaking, he drank the tea in the cup, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, and walked out of the office.

Yang Kaitai followed him, contacted the two groups with a walkie-talkie, and made an appointment to meet at the intersection of Hualing North Street.

As soon as he walked out of the police station building, Fu Yi's cell phone rang.

It was Qiao Shishi who called. At that time, Qiao Shishi was standing in front of a clothing store on the street, mingling with the off-duty crowd facing the setting sun, twirling his fingers around the end of his hair, and asked with a paradoxical smile: "Captain Fu, Do you know where Yizhilin Pharmacy is?"

An hour ago, she and Zhao Feng were recalled from the front line of tracing Lu Xia's whereabouts, and carried out the new task Chu Xingyun gave them before leaving, investigating the 'Professor. '

Zheng Xihe provided the hotel where the professor stayed, which made the tracking easier to follow. They learned from the hotel staff's statement that the professor did not use his own information to stay in the hotel, but a forged identity with no evidence. It proved that although there was no real information about him, the video of the hotel entrance was retrieved, and the professor's whereabouts were quickly obtained.

The professor was very cautious, and he never took a taxi at the door after leaving the hotel. They could only find the video of the professor entering and leaving the hotel door, but they didn't find anything.

On August 27th, around nine o'clock in the evening, the professor came back into the lobby of the hotel, and brought back the only clue that revealed his whereabouts - he was carrying a few boxes of medicines, with the words "Yizhilin Pharmacy" printed on the bags 'The words.

Qiao Shishi and Zhao Feng immediately set off to Yizhilin Pharmacy.

"Where?"

Fu Yi threw the car keys to Yang Kaitai, opened the car door and walked in the co-pilot, asking.

Qiao Shishi glanced at the neighborhood across the street, and said, "The door of Lu Xia's house."

Fu Yi closed the car door halfway, paused for a moment, then slammed the car door hard, and pressed his thumping temple: "Lu Xia?"

"Yes, Lu Xia."

Qiao Shishi smiled and said, "If it's a coincidence, then it's really a coincidence, why don't we go and have a look?"

Fu Yi pondered for a while, and said, "Well, hurry up."

"clear."

Qiao Shishi hung up the phone, just in time to see Zhao Feng coming out of the pharmacy.

"How about it?"

She asked.

Zhao Feng said: "This is the old man, here is the list of medicines he bought."

Qiao Shishi took a look and found that they were all ordinary alcohol and anti-inflammatory drugs.

"Is the old thing hurt?"

"The clerk said that he came in with his forehead covered that night, his wrist was also cut with a knife, and he said he was robbed."

Qiao Shishi snorted: "The robbing ruffians don't dare to use their knives."

After finishing speaking, he put away the receipt and walked across the street: "Go in and have a look."

They explained their intentions to the community security, obtained the key Lu Xia kept at the security office, and went straight to Building 4.

Lu Xia lives in Building 4, Room 301, and it is only a few steps away without taking the elevator.

On the third floor, as soon as he came out of the corner of the stairs, Qiao Shishi heard a door closing sound in the corridor, as if he had been slammed when he just showed up.

I don't know if the door lock is old, or the key is old, or the security guard gave the wrong key. In short, the door of Room 301 is difficult to open.Qiao Shishi was impatient. He twisted the key a few times and couldn't open the door. Then his technique became more and more rough, and the sound of the door opening echoed throughout the corridor.

Maybe it was because they disturbed the residents, so the residents of 301 next door to 302 suddenly opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

A woman in a home dress came out and looked at them with some doubts.

As soon as she showed up, Qiao Shishi felt that she looked familiar.Or maybe it's because she herself is like this, so she has a deep impression of beautiful women, especially this tall and beautiful woman standing in front of the door of Room 302 at this time. It must be very deep, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this face before.

"We are the police, has the owner of this house been back these two days?"

Master Qiao asked while unlocking the lock.

"I did not notice."

The woman stared at the key in her hand for a while, then suddenly smiled, walked over and said, "You inserted the key backwards."

As she spoke, she took the key from Qiao Shishi's hand, adjusted the angle, and opened the lock at once.

When she approached, Qiao Shishi smelled the fragrant perfume on her body, and suddenly said: "Are you He Cheng's assistant?"

He Yunshu opened the door, returned the key to her, took two steps back, with a very decent smile on his face: "Yes, have we met?"

Qiao Shishi smiled and said, "Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I remember you and Xiao Shu sent mooncakes to the Municipal Bureau."

Speaking of it, it was thanks to Chu Xingyun that during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, He Cheng sent two assistants to pull a whole truckload of high-end mooncake gift boxes, and the police officers all over the world had a copy.

Relying on the backing of Chu Xingyun, she brazenly begged for several more boxes from Xiao Shu, and finally it was this beautiful female assistant who helped her bring the gift boxes.

At that time, she was only interested in taking advantage, and didn't pay much attention to He Yunshu. She only remembered the expensive perfume smell on her body when she took the gift box from her arms.It wasn't until after He Yunshu left that she heard the male colleagues excitedly discussing this female assistant with an exceptionally superior figure and appearance, that she barely recalled He Yunshu's little side profile.Seeing the deity again today, she understood why the male colleagues were caught in a carnival at that time. He Yunshu had an extraordinary temperament like a white swan, beautiful and bright but not seductive, and her eyes were very clear and pure, like a virgin.

If it wasn't very clear that He Cheng had been accepted by Chu Xingyun, she would really suspect that He Cheng kept such a woman by his side to satisfy her own selfish desires.

He Yunshu obviously didn't think of her, but her quality and upbringing didn't allow her to show embarrassment to the other party, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I've been to the Municipal Bureau, so you are Captain Chu's colleagues."

After exchanging pleasantries with her, Qiao Shishi cut to the point again: "How long has it been since the owner of this house came back?"

He Yunshu thought for a while, and said, "I'm not too sure about this. I'm busy with work, and I leave early and return late, so I haven't noticed it, but—Mr. Lu who lives here seems to have not come back for nearly a week."

"Are you familiar with him?"

Master Qiao asked.

He Yunshu covered her lips and smiled like a reserved beauty in a painting, and said, "Mr. Lu rarely goes out, and I only saw him a few times during the break. He is very introverted, and he didn't pay attention to me when I said hello to him." I."

He Yunshu confirmed that Lu Xia was withdrawn and reclusive, and that Lu Xia never returned home after the incident.

Has he completely forgotten where he lives?

Thanks to He Yunshu, she and Zhao Feng walked into Lu Xia's house.

Pushing open the door, you will be greeted with damp and dark light. The orientation of this suite is very easy to get sunlight, but the owner of the house has closed all the windows and drawn the curtains, and the inside of the house is like a dark room.

The decoration of the house is minimal, and the furniture is also minimal, but it is beyond Qiao Shishi's expectation. For a man who lives alone and withdrawn, everything stays where it should be, without accumulating too much life Garbage is already considered clean.

She and Zhao Feng searched the living room and bedroom, aiming to find out the connection between Lu Xia and the outside world, the connection with the Shu Palace, and the connection between the professor who practiced poison.But they found nothing. Lu Xia's room was clear at a glance. There was nothing but a bed cabinet, not even a photo.

Qiao Shishi opened the bedside table and searched aimlessly among a bunch of odds and ends, only to find a red leather real estate certificate.

After opening the real estate certificate, she finally knew why Lu Xia could stay at home without working or going out for many years.

The life of this man is good. His parents' old house in the southern suburbs was demolished and built into a villa area. Not to mention a house was divided, and hundreds of thousands were paid. After his parents died, he left this considerable inheritance to him.

But this is a new clue, they need to explore Lu Xia's villa.

"Little Joe."

Zhao Feng suddenly called her.

Qiao Shishi picked up the real estate certificate and walked out of the bedroom, and came to the door of a room adjacent to the bathroom.

"Try to see if the door can be opened."

Zhao Feng said.

Qiao Shishi took out a bunch of keys and tried them one by one, but they couldn't be opened. He wanted to break in, but the door was stronger than expected.

So Zhao Feng stretched out his arms to stop her a few steps back, then raised his leg and kicked open the door.

The door slammed against the wall with a devastating thud.

"Grandpa, you're handsome."

Qiao Shishi patted his well-developed chest, and then walked into the room.

Just now he used too much force, Zhao Feng stood at the door holding on to the door frame and moving his ankle with his right foot, watching Qiao Shishi turn around in the dark room.

Although the curtains are still drawn in this room, through the blurred outlines of things in the room, it can be seen that this room is Lu Xia's studio.

"What's the matter, Joel?"

Zhao Feng, who had not recovered his ability to move, saw Qiao Shishi squatting on the ground holding a few pieces of drawing paper, and asked vigilantly.

Qiao Shishi's voice trembled in the darkness: "You come in."

When Zhao Feng walked into the studio, the first thing he did was to open the curtains. At this time, the setting sun outside the window just dipped into the waistline of the Pearl Tower, and the warm yellow light diffused a golden light on the unreachable horizon on the other side of the city. It is difficult for people to distinguish whether it is sunrise or sunset at this time.

The curtains were pulled open, and the last ray of sunset light poured into the room, like a candle lighting up the darkness.

Zhao Feng turned around and was stunned the moment he saw the whole room.

This studio was very large and empty, only an easel and chairs were placed in the middle of the room, but when the room was filled with the light of the setting sun, he immediately felt a sense of horror of being trapped and surrounded.

There was no one else in the room except them, but there were countless pairs of eyes densely packed, clustered in all directions, and crowded every corner.

Those eyes come from a woman's face, there are countless women, and countless sheets of paper with women's faces covered the floor and the walls.The same face, the same eyes, everywhere.

Countless pairs of women's eyes are looking at the two guests who broke in without permission——

There are many places under construction in the old city. Except for repairing bridges and roads, there are no less than a dozen high-rise buildings under construction, and the locations are scattered and disorderly.

Fu Yi commanded the police officers to conduct a blanket search from the edge to the central area. They did not eat, drink or sleep for the past two days, so they must find Fang Yu's body!

Naturally, Yang Kaitai formed a group with him, holding a photo of the blue Ruitu and looking for possible witnesses around the construction site.

The sun gradually sank into the other end of the city, and Yinjiang City ushered in another dark night.

The workers finished their day's work one after another, and walked out of the construction site in groups of two or three. It was not the exhausted stream of people that two murder police officers could resist.

In the gradually deepening night, Fu Yili looked around in a dazed and anxious manner, but he couldn't see anything except the vast and endless night.

The workers got into vans and were carried back to the worker's dormitory by the contractor.

The off-roader parked on the side of the road suddenly flashed its flashing lights, attracting Fu Yi's attention who was stopping a man for questioning.

Yang Kaitai stretched out his arm out of the window and waved to him, shouting: "Captain Fu, let's go ahead and have a look!"

Fu Yi walked to the driver's car door: "I'll drive for a while."

"I'm not tired, you can get in the car."

Fu Yi returned to the car and sat in the co-pilot, using the lights in the car to open the surrounding construction site wind construction drawings to find all possible places to hide the corpse.

Yang Kaitai tore open a bag of bread and handed it to him: "Don't worry about Captain Fu, we still have time."

They still have time, and it is not impossible to complete all the construction sites within two days, but they are afraid that Qin Xiao will compete with them for time.

As long as they didn't find Fang Yu's body, Qin Xiao would have a chance to destroy the body. At that time, no body would mean that Qin Xiao didn't kill anyone, and the police could only release Qin Xiao.

Of course, Yang Kaitai understands this truth. He is no less anxious than Fu Yi, but he also understands that Fu Yi is taking all the pressure and responsibility on his shoulders at this time, and he needs to be responsible for whether a girl's soul can rest in peace.If Chu Xingyun is there, he can help him share the burden. If Chu Xingyun is not, he can only shoulder it.

Fu Yi held the bread exuding preservatives and sweetness, and smiled helplessly: "Now I finally understand why Chu Xingyun is always thinking about retirement."

"How about I contact Team Chu and let him come back."

Fu Yi shook his head, tore off a piece of bread, and said, "Give him two days, he has equally important things to do."

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a few scattered stars jumped out of the sky, swayed by the evening wind, flickering and flickering.

Before he had eaten a few bites of bread, he suddenly heard someone outside the car yelling and cursing at the top of his throat.

Fu Yi looked through the rearview mirror and saw a worker with a shovel standing beside a cement mixer not far behind, shouting loudly at a van that was carrying the worker away. unexpected.

"What's the matter, master?"

Fu Yi walked up to him and asked.

"These grandchildren, the cement that has just been laid, has been rolled over and over again, how many times, and it will have to be repainted tomorrow."

It was only then that Fu Yi discovered that a small section of the auxiliary road outside the construction site was being repaired. The old cement had been dug out and new cement had been laid. The color of the dried cement was obviously different from that of the surrounding area. It was crushed by wheels when it was still wet, and two deep ruts appeared in the center of the road section.

He squatted on the side of the road, using a flashlight to shine on the tire marks on the road: "When was this road built?"

The old master said: "It's too early, I have been practicing for more than half a month, and I have only reached here."

"I mean, when was the cement painted?"

"Oh, night number one."

Fu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at him, his dark eyes were instantly lit up: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, we were thinking that there would be fewer cars at night, and the new cement would be easy to preserve. After finishing the painting, we would leave work. Unexpectedly, when we came to have a look the next day, it would be crushed."

"Did these two car marks appear on the first night?"

"Then I don't know, anyway, it will be there the next day."

Fu Yi found out the picture of the wheel of the blue Ruitu, squatted on the ground and carefully compared the patterns printed in the cement, and finally found a clue.

The wheel marks do belong to the blue sharp road, and according to the pattern analysis, it is the imprint left by the blue sharp road when it came.In other words, on the night of September [-]st, Qin Xiao drove by this road.

Then the vehicle passes through here, and the direction to continue going is to the east.

He stood up, and pointed the flashlight in his hand on the road leading to the east, but the two rays of light were too short and weak, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the east, tearing the sky like thunder, and the ground trembled.

"What are you doing over there?"

Fu Yi hurriedly asked.

The old master took it for granted, "Isn't the Ring Road in the east when the railroad tracks are blown up? Now it's going to be blown up, and it's going to be repaired to the south of the Yinjiang Bridge."

As he said that, the old master wondered: "Didn't you say that the construction will start in October? Why is it starting to blow up now?"

After the voice fell, Fu Yi ran to the police car, and Yang Kaitai was startled by his extremely restless appearance.

"All field workers, hurry to section 103 of the old city's underground railway immediately, hurry up!"

Yang Kaitai was already on fire when he got into the car, and upon hearing this, he also drove on the highway to the old city which had recovered its tranquility after a round of blasting.

"What happened, Team Fu?"

Fu Yi put down the walkie-talkie, took out his mobile phone and contacted the technical team to investigate which contractor was in charge of the rail demolition project. After hanging up the phone, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fang Yu may be right ahead."

Fang Yu?

Yang Kaitai was stunned for a moment, and then his heart thumped as if he had fallen to the bottom. If Fang Yu's body was under the railway tunnel, then the blasting project was going on at this time—destroying the corpse?

He seemed to be able to see that the construction team was preparing for the second round of blasting, and Fang Yu's body was hidden in a dark corner of the tunnel, quietly waiting for his body to be smashed to pieces, waiting for his soul to be dissipated.

Fu Yi was very irritable. It was the first time he was so restless after being a police officer. He held his mobile phone tightly and waited for the news from the technical team. His eyes pierced the dark night ahead like a falcon on a night parade, staring at them as they drifted under the night to lead them. The ghost of the girl in the direction——

"I know who the contractor is!"

Yang Kaitai shouted suddenly.

Fu Yi looked at him with unusually thick black eyes: "Who?"

Yang Kaitai was holding the steering wheel, trembling all over his body, looking ahead, his teeth chattering constantly: "Zhou Shiyang told me that his brother sent him to watch a project in October—that is to blow up the railway tracks and rebuild the ring road!"

Fu Yi's face was startled, and his mood returned to a mysterious calm in an instant. His colder eyes pierced the boundless dark night in front of him again, and he was so frightened and angry that he wanted to laugh.

Qin Xiao is really ruthless, he tried to make Zhou Shiyang and Zhou Quliang pay for the sins he committed.

He desperately wants to pour dirty water on Zhou Shiyang!
