what the murderer wants to do

where they might go. "

He drew a few circles on the map to outline the range.

Inside the circle are residential houses and tourist attractions. These days are holidays, which happens to be the time when the flow of people is the largest.If Xiao Yuanqiu can't be found early, and the person who took him finds a chance to sneak out, then it's over.

"Really..." Xiao Chao tightened his hands in his sleeves.

Picking this time was obviously not a temporary idea, and it was obvious that after careful consideration, the plan was made.

"Keep your phone unblocked." Xu Xiao ignored the other party's emotion, "If you didn't offend someone, it should be ordinary kidnapping and extortion."

Actually, the possibilities are many.But Xu Xiao had no intention of provoking Xiao Chao at this time, he said this just to give the other party a psychological comfort.

After all, people who want money will not hurt Xiao Yuanqiu.

Xu Xiao thought very well, but he forgot that Xiao Chao was also from a public security background, so this thoughtfulness was of no help.

However, Xiao Chao did not push back. As a father, he also hoped that his son would come back safely.

----------

"What happened?"

Only after Pei Jiuchuan took Niannian home did Qu Qi call and told him to go back to the city bureau immediately.

After he had settled down for Niannian and hurried back, he found that the atmosphere in the bureau was a bit strange.

There was a man he didn't know in the conference room, who was standing behind Tong Xiaoge with his arms folded, with a serious face, watching him typing on the keyboard.

And his boss stood indifferently at the other end of the conference room, expressionless, as if deliberately keeping a distance from the man.

"Why are you back?" Hearing Pei Jiuchuan's voice, Xu Xiao raised his head, "Where's Nian Nian?"

Just after the incident of Xiao Yuanqiu being cheated away, Nian Nian had no one around him, so his heart suddenly arose.

"I sent him to my brother's place." Seeing Xu Xiao's face darken, the young master quickly explained, "There is someone with him, don't worry."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao's expression improved a little, he nodded at Pei Jiuchuan, and then said nothing.

What's going on here?Pei Jiuchuan looked at Qu Qi.

I call you to the rescue!Qu Qi glared at him, don't you see what's going on now!

As soon as Deputy Director Xiao entered the door, Qu Qi felt that something was wrong.Obviously he came to look for his son, but he dragged Xu Chu into the director's office.

After they came out, both of them had dark faces, as if they had fought inside.Qu Qi watched secretly for a long time before he was sure that there were no extra bruises on his boss's face.

I don't know what the background of Deputy Director Xiao is. To be cautious, it's better to call Xiao Pei back first.

As for why Xu Chu was not happy to see Xiao Pei... Qu Qi didn't know.

"The last time they appeared was captured by surveillance near Chenghu Lake."

Tong Xiaoge was not affected by the weird atmosphere in the conference room at all, and tapped on the keyboard: "There is no record of the toll booth further down, it should be in the Chenghu Lake, and I didn't go anywhere else."

Chenghu Lake is located on the outskirts of Yaojiang City, and it is not a small freshwater lake.The surrounding jungle is dense and has been developed into a scenic spot early on.

It's a holiday, and many tourists have come one after another.In the future, there will only be more and more irrelevant people.

At that time, it will be difficult to find Xiao Yuanqiu.

"Ask for support from the sub-bureau. Qu Qi will contact the person in charge at Chenghu Lake." Xu Xiao didn't hesitate, "Tell them to keep a close eye on the surrounding traffic routes, and focus on checking the man with the child."

Xiao Chao didn't say a word, Xu Xiao's handling of the current situation couldn't fault it.

"Xiao Ju, is there anything on Yuan Qiu that can be located?" Tong Xiaoge turned her head.

Today's products such as children's watches have positioning functions. If Xiao Yuanqiu can be directly located, it will save a lot of trouble.

Xiao Chao pinched the phone, but said nothing.

Xiao Yuanqiu had a children's mobile phone with him, but since he learned that his son was missing, the other party never sent a location.Obviously, the phone should be turned off.

Hearing the name of the little fat man, Pei Jiuchuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Chao twice.

From Niannian's description, he thought that Xiao Yuanqiu's father should be carved out of the same mold as the little fat man, as chubby as him.

But the man in front of him had deep eyebrows and a tough style similar to that of Lu Jiaoyang, and his well-tailored suit made him look tall and straight.No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like Xiao Yuanqiu's father.

But now is not the time to think about this question. Two hours ago, the little fat man was staying at school well, why is he gone now?

Subconsciously, he looked at Xu Xiao.

Sensing the gaze of the young master, Xu Xiao thought for a while and decided not to put his subordinates and Xiao Chao together.

"I'm going to Chenghu Lake, you come with me." He nodded to Pei Jiuchuan, then looked at Xiao Gezi, "Let me know if there is any progress."

Tong Xiaoge's face was bitter, she vaguely felt that her boss was going to let her go.

Thinking about his son, Xiao Chao didn't care about the actions of the people behind him. He quickly went through all the possibilities in his mind again, but he still didn't think of the person who might kidnap Xiao Yuanqiu.

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated.

Before Xiao Chao could react, Tong Xiaoge jumped up first, installed the annunciator three times, five times and two times, and then motioned for him to answer.

Call from an unknown number, don't know who it is.

Xiao Chao held his breath and controlled his emotions before pressing the answer button.

"Father—" Xiao Yuanqiu cried loudly on the phone, "Come here quickly! Uncle is dead!"

☆, life and death (7)

When Xu Xiao and the others arrived, Xiao Yuanqiu was sitting on the porch, crying loudly.

"Yuan Yuan!"

As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Chao rushed down.

"Father!" The little fat man stretched out his two arms, desperately wrapped his short hands around his neck, shaking while hugging him, and curled up into a ball.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad is here, don't be afraid." Xiao Chao hugged his son tightly, then let go slightly, and looked him up and down.

It was getting late, and the light in front of the porch was faintly glowing, probably because of a bad connection, the light flickered on and off, reflecting the little fat man's face from time to time.The chubby facial features were squeezed together in fear, and twitched from time to time.

Although he was quite frightened, from the outside, there was no wound.Xiao Chao breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

"Good boy." He kissed his son's cheek, and gently opened his tightly clenched hand, "This is for Dad."

Xiao Yuanqiu let go of his hand obediently, and the large black-screen mobile phone that obviously belonged to an adult slipped into Xiao Chao's hands.There is something wet on the palm, I don't know if it's the little fat man's sweat due to nervousness, or something else.

Xiao Chao didn't have the heart to think about these things at this time, and just handed the phone behind him again.

Qu Qi understood, took out the evidence bag, and put the mobile phone into the bag.

They were reuniting with their father and son, and on the other side, Xu Xiao had already kicked open the door of the residence.

This is an ordinary residential house, which can be seen everywhere in the scenic area centered on Chenghu Lake.But unlike other dwellings that are designed to attract tourists, it is not close to the main road, nor is it in a crowded scenic spot, but goes all the way down the trail, hidden in the depths of the woods.

The commercial Buick in the surveillance was parked in the open space in front of the residence, and a few freshly fallen leaves fell from the roof.

The old metal hinges could not withstand such a strong kick, and the door, which was already half-hidden, bounced against the wall, making a decaying cry.

The structure of the first floor is very simple and can almost be seen through at a glance.

The table placed in the middle of the living room was piled up in a mess. Books and papers were stacked together, and they were blown by the draft, fluttering to the ground.

Xu Xiao glanced at it and vaguely saw the messy handwriting on it.

The uncle Xiao Yuanqiu was talking about was not here. The kitchen and bedroom on the first floor were clean and quiet.

Then, only the second floor is left.

There was a creaking sound when stepping on the stairs, even though Xu Xiao had controlled his pace, he still couldn't stop the shrill sound from coming out of the dilapidated stairs.

"what happened?"

Pei Jiuchuan was following behind his boss, but the other party stopped suddenly, so he had no choice but to stop.

The creaking sound disappeared temporarily.

"Go and call Qu Qi over."

Xu Xiao turned his head to look at his subordinates, the flashing police lights outside the window fell on Pei Jiuchuan's face, casting a thin shadow on his facial features.

The young master went in without knowing it, but he never argued with his boss about work matters, so he obediently said, turned back, and went to find Qu Qi.

Seeing Pei Jiuchuan push the door out, Xu Xiao frowned.

He didn't wait for Qu Qi to come, but jumped up to the second floor with a few steps.

The evening wind blew in from the open window, circled the corridor, and then blew towards him coldly.

In Yaojiang in early autumn, the temperature is not low at night, but the gust of wind is unreasonably cold, and there is still a faint smell of blood.

On the second floor, only the room farthest from Xu Xiao had its door ajar.

A gleam of light leaked out along the gap, drawing two neat lines dryly in the night.Even though it is the light that is completely opposite to the darkness, it seems to be crumbling in the depths, ready to be swallowed at any time.

Xu Xiao held his breath.

He tiptoed over, and this time there was no sound from the floor.

Then, he gently pushed open the door.

A pair of sunglasses fell to the ground, and the frame seemed to have been broken into two sections.

The owner of the sunglasses was leaning peacefully on the recliner with his eyes slightly closed.One hand rested on the lower abdomen, and there seemed to be something under the wide palm, with a black corner exposed.

His other hand was hanging limply on the armrest, drooping limply, lifeless at all.

"Boss." The creaking voice sounded again, Qu Qi trotted all the way and stood behind Xu Xiao.

"This is..." Qu Qi was stunned when he looked past his boss and saw the man on the couch.

There was a knife stuck in the man's chest. The knife was inserted very deep. From his angle, he could only see the exposed handle and a little silvery blade.

A large amount of blood spread from the chest, staining the opponent's shirt.When the wind blew, the smell of blood went straight into Qu Qi's nose.

He subconsciously went to look at his boss, only to find that Xu Xiao was silently staring at the dead man's face.

"Go and call Bureau Xiao." Xu Xiao shifted his gaze to the thing covered by the man's palm, "Then call Bureau Lin."

------------

The deceased, Chen Tiankuo, was 37 years old.

According to the inspection by the Forensics Division of the Municipal Bureau, there were only Chen Tiankuo's own fingerprints on the handle of the knife, and there were no traces of other people at the scene. It was preliminarily determined to be a suicide.

"What the hell?"

Pei Jiuchuan was puzzled: "Abduct Xiao Yuanqiu, and then commit suicide?"

"Before committing suicide, I did not forget to give the victim my mobile phone and a note with the address on it, so that the victim can read it later." Tong Xiaoge added.

She had been in the city bureau for so long, and this was the first time she had seen such a suspect.

"I said Qu Qi, why didn't you respond at all?"

This unbelievable "kidnapping case" came and went faster, and ended with the suspect committing suicide.Most of the police who had been tossing all night were full of doubts, but the leaders above did not speak, and it was difficult for them to say anything.

Didn't he look at Deputy Director Xiao without saying a word, handed his son over to the family, and then went to the Forestry Bureau's office?

"Ah, it's nothing." Qu Qi scratched her head, "I'm a little sleepy."

That being said, his mind was full of the scene where his boss stared at the man.

That look is weird, it looks like...

"You both know him?"

Lin Hu couldn't drink any more tea.

Xiao Chao took a look at Xu Xiao and saw that the other party lowered his head, so he took the lead in saying, "That's... the previous tainted witness."

After the accident that year, Chen Tiankuo, as a small leader wandering on the fringe, reported the facts of the crime, actively cooperated with the police investigation, and acted as a witness for the prosecution, and his sentence was reduced a lot.After a rough calculation, this year, he should be released from prison.

"He was released in June." Xu Xiao added in a low voice, still without looking up.

Retaliation?This idea was the first thing that popped up in Lin Hu's mind.

Both Xiao Chao and Xu Xiao were the backbone of the operation at that time. Although his sentence had been commuted, Chen Tiankuo spent six years in prison.Therefore, it is not impossible to resent the policeman who handled him back then, and want to use Xiao Yuanqiu to take revenge on him.

But what about suicide?

Lin Hu was at a loss.

Xiao Chao didn't make a sound, he was waiting for Xu Xiao's action.

After being silent for a while, Xu Xiao gently placed the evidence bag in his hand on the table, and then pushed it in the direction of Lin Hu.

In the transparent evidence bag lay a video tape, which was exactly what Chen Tiankuo was holding under his hands.

Lin Hu looked at his junior brother with questioning eyes, but Xu Xiao lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

"Director Lin, let's take a look first." Xiao Chao said politely, "Director Xu and I are waiting for you outside the door."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Xu Xiao wanted to, grabbed Xu Xiao's sleeve, and pulled him out of the office abruptly.

As soon as the door was closed, Lin Hu was left alone.

"What are you doing..." Director Lin pinched the video tape in his hand, "One or two seem to be sick..."

He bent down, pulled out the VCR from the cabinet, and carefully opened the evidence bag.

"asshole!"

In the corridor, as soon as he went out, Xiao Chao swung his fist!

Xu Xiao didn't intend to hide, so he was hit hard.

A suffocating bloody smell instantly filled his mouth, seeing that he didn't hide, Xiao Chao was stunned instead.

"This is the last time I'll let you."

Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, a little bright red stained on his fingertips, glowing dimly under the dim light in the corridor.

"Calm down." He swallowed the surging blood, and after a while, he said, "It happened to be a time when you were in a meeting, and you couldn't get in touch with your lover, do you think it's a coincidence?"

Xiao Chao didn't speak, but clenched his hands tightly.

He stared at Xu Xiao for a while, and finally let go of his hand.

"Don't let me find out, he's talking about you." Xiao Chao's voice was calm, but he knew that after seeing the video tape, he could no longer calm down.

In the office separated by a wall, Lin Hu stared at the screen with his eyes wide open.

"I'm Chen Tiankuo, from Yaojiang. I was suspected of selling drugs seven years ago..."

The man faced the camera with a very calm face. From his expression, Lin Hu could not see anything: "At that time, I reported to the police as a tainted witness that the core person involved in the case and... who appeared a month ago prison."

It seemed that Chen Tiankuo was very unwell. He coughed for a long time before looking at the camera again: "I don't live long, so let me give Captain Xiao a favor. This time I will involve his child. I'm sorry for him."

"There is one thing I have kept secret until now." He coughed loudly, "The reason why the case back then caused heavy casualties was not only the betrayal of the informant, but also..."

"You guys have ghosts." Chen Tiankuo looked at Lin Hu and said sternly.

The author has something to say: tainted witness is not a concept of mainland law, this article is empty, this concept is borrowed.

☆, life and death (8)

"He's trying to make things big."

Across a wall, Lin Hu and Xiao Chao said at the same time.

Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and touched his face, the place where he was punched felt a little hot, probably swollen.

He understood what Xiao Chao meant.

If Chen Tiankuo chooses to report in other ways, whether it is an anonymous letter or coming to the door in person.The police probably wouldn't believe what the other party said.

After all, if he really wanted to say something, he had six years to say it while serving his sentence.If the report is successful, the sentence can be reduced appropriately.

But Chen Tiankuo didn't.

During his six-year sentence, he never brought up the matter, as if he knew nothing about it.

However, when Chen Tiankuo chose to kidnap Xiao Yuanqiu, and took this opportunity to use his own death to hand over the videotape to the police, no one could ignore him.

In a sense, he took his own life to guarantee the contents of the video tape.

Xu Xiao took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry." Seeing him breathing in, Xiao Chao felt a little regretful, and rarely lowered his head, "I just..."

"It's okay." Xu Xiao said calmly, "I know you're not feeling well."

Being blocked back without seriousness, Xiao Chao opened his mouth to say something, but remained silent in the end.

Two people stood in the corridor, one on the left and one on the right, leaving an aisle in the middle.

"You come in."

During the stalemate, the door clicked.

Lin Hu showed half of his head, and first glanced nervously at the corridor, seeing that there was no one else, then whispered: "Hurry up."

Back in the office, Xu Xiao asked Lin Hu for a towel, soaked it and put it on his face.

The cold towel temporarily relieved the pain, but he still couldn't help frowning.

Lin Hu saw everything in his eyes. Director Lin had some idea of ​​what happened to these two people outside just now.

But now is not the time to care about that.

"You..." He moved the teacup towards him, held it in his hand, but didn't drink it, "What do you think?"

Neither Xu Xiao nor Xiao Chao spoke.

After a while, Xu Xiao said, "There is no way to make a conclusion at the moment."

As soon as he spoke, the corners of his mouth pulled muscles, half of his face twitched in pain, and even his voice was a little muffled: "He only said there was a ghost, but he didn't say who it was."

Xu Xiao wondered, since he was already willing to pay with his life, it shouldn't be a problem to say the other party's name.

However, Chen Tiankuo didn't mention anyone in the video tape, but simply told them that something was wrong back then.

This kind of vague and specious pointing made both Xu Xiao and Xiao Chao very uncomfortable.

"I agree."

Xiao Chao continued his words: "We can't believe Chen Tiankuo's words rashly without actual evidence."

The series of events that happened today, although each one is more and more strange, but when I think about it carefully, besides being strange, there are also many suspicious points.

Just like what Xu Xiao said to him in the corridor just now.Chen Tiankuo, a gangster who has just been released from prison, how did he know about his itinerary, and how did he know that his subordinates were going to pick up Yuan Yuan, so he took this opportunity to take advantage of it?

It is obviously impossible to rely on Chen Tiankuo alone.

The other party must have accomplices...even...

Xiao Chao glanced at Xu Xiao and found that Xu Xiao was also looking at him.

Even... The person who provided information to Chen Tiankuo was inside.

The two exchanged a knowing look.

But neither of them could figure out, if it was their own person, why would they bother to make such a fuss.He didn't hesitate to take Chen Tiankuo's life, but also wanted to pass this news on to them?

"Don't be in a daze." After finally saying a few words, after a while, he stopped talking again, Lin Hu frowned, "How to deal with this now?"

For other cases, Bureau Lin turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, raising his hand and passing.But this matter, no matter whether it is handled lightly or investigated in detail, it seems that something is not right.

Raise your hand and let it go, if what Chen Tiankuo said is true and something happened, the first person in trouble will be him, the one who made the decision.

But a thorough investigation is needed... Lin Hu smiled wryly in his heart, the people who participated in the past died, and the transfers were scattered everywhere.It may not be so easy to re-investigate.

"Let's do this, Bureau Lin." Seeing his brother's expression changing, Xu Xiao took off the towel and folded it neatly on his lap, "I'll take someone to check on this Chen Tiankuo first, if we can find anything , and make a decision at that time.”

He could see Lin Hu's embarrassment, and he also understood that in that position, his brother's every move would be watched.If you are not careful, you will definitely be pulled down by people and horses.

And he came forward in the name of investigating the kidnapping suspect, relatively speaking, it was not so conspicuous.

What's more... Xu Xiao glanced at Xiao Chao again. When it came to the events of the year, no matter how credible Chen Tiankuo's words were, he wanted to verify them.

After being silent for a while, Lin Hu couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod his head.

"I also need to go."

Not surprisingly, Xiao Chao interrupted.

This is actually not in line with the rules and regulations. Xiao Chao has long been absent from the public security system and is not suitable to appear on the scene.

But rules are dead, and people are alive, so it's not difficult to bring him in justifiably.Give Xiao Chao the title of a temporary foreign aid expert, and he can go to the scene.

But Lin Hu didn't agree to him immediately, but raised his eyes to look at Xu Xiao.

Sensing that both of them were staring at him, Xu Xiao shrugged: "Whatever, I don't mind."

What he said was seventy to eighty percent sincere, and Xiao Chao cared about the events of the year just as much as he did.Instead of hiding it and waiting for Xiao Chao to raise his fist to ask again, it is better to show it clearly to the other party from the very beginning.

"I don't care." Xu Xiao stood up, "You can discuss the specific arrangement with Bureau Lin and Bureau Xiao. I'll let Xiao Gezi and the others investigate."

After speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the two of them.Put the towel on the table, and gently close the door.

"I didn't say you..."

After Xu Xiao went out, Lin Hu stared at Xiao Chao for a while, and after a long while, he became serious: "What's the point of angering him?"

Feeling guilty, Xiao Chao did not refute Lin Hu.

He knew what he was doing was wrong...he just...

Xiao Chao closed his eyes, the sound of gunfire and rain hitting his skull, creating a huge roar in his head.

"Boss???"

As soon as Xu Xiao entered the conference room, he found that Pei Jiuchuan and Qu Qi were both lying on the table, unconscious, and the only one who was awake was Tong Xiaoge who was still playing games with his laptop.

Little Pigeon was killing all directions in the game. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw his boss's face still flushed with red marks. He was so frightened that he almost threw his notebook away: "What's going on with you???"

Who dares to hit their town treasure? ? ?

I was afraid that the little pigeon would make too much noise and wake up Pei Jiuchuan. When I saw him like this, I would go to Xiao Chao again.Xu Xiao made a silent gesture, and lowered his voice first.

"Check Chen Tiankuo's information, the more detailed the better. Especially the bank account, don't just check his, check his family's accounts together."

Tong Xiaoge stared at the red marks on her boss's face, and nodded in a daze.

"There are also his usual contacts after he was released from prison." Seeing that his subordinate was distracted, Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

"Understood." Came back to his senses, the little pigeon nodded quickly.

Forest Bureau will definitely not fight with the boss... Then...

Tong Xiaoge's eyes darkened.

"By the way, focus on checking the people who contacted Chen Tiankuo before taking Xiao Yuanqiu away." Thinking about something, Xu Xiao didn't notice the expression of his subordinates.

No matter who Chen Tiankuo's accomplices were, at least they must have contacted before kidnapping Xiao Yuanqiu.

If you can find this person directly, it will be much more convenient than looking for a needle in a haystack without a clue.

After arranging the tasks, Xu Xiao returned to his office.Before the young master woke up, he had to find a way to get rid of the marks on his face.

Otherwise... Thinking about Pei Jiuchuan's character, he was sure that the other party would definitely fight Xiao Chao.

What Xu Xiao didn't know was that just as he closed the door of the meeting room, the next second, both Qu Qi and Pei Jiuchuan were woken up by Tong Xiaoge's stern knock.

----------

After tossing around for most of the night, not long after returning to the office, Xu Xiao lay on the sofa and fell asleep for a while.

Even with a few hours of sleep, nightmares will still not be absent.Bullets pierced bone, and sharp blades separated texture.The sound of gunfire and rain mixed together, which made people have a headache.

With a bang, Xu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes following the explosion of the factory building.

He stared at the ceiling of the office for a long time before realizing that everything just now was just another familiar nightmare.

Lying down for a while, he didn't get up until the feeling of heart palpitations subsided.

After a brief wash, the man's face was a little pale in the grooming mirror.

Xu Xiao stared at the mirror for a long time, making sure that the faces on both sides looked normal, and then fastened the buttons.

To his surprise, Tong Xiaoge was the only one in the meeting room.

The little pigeon was sleeping soundly with the notebook in its arms, curling up there obediently.However, the remaining two big men who could sleep better than the other disappeared.

Will Pei Jiuchuan and Qu Qi get up so early?

Xu Xiao frowned, he didn't think when the two subordinates suddenly changed their sex.

"Boss, you're awake."

Before he could figure it out, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder.

Needless to say, with such courage, the young master is the only one in the whole bureau.

"Eat?" Pei Jiuchuan raised the breakfast with a smile, "I bought sesame balls and pumpkin porridge, and I asked the boss to add more sugar to yours."

"..." Xu Xiao felt that something was weird, but the expressions of Pei Jiuchuan and Qu Qi were extremely natural, and they didn't look like they had done anything bad at all.

Of course, Qu Qi muttered in his heart, he didn't do anything from the beginning to the end.Pei Jiuchuan was the only one who did it.

"Eat quickly." Pei Jiuchuan stuffed the breakfast into the boss's hand, and took the opportunity to squeeze the man's hand, "It won't taste good when it gets cold."

It's hard to say what's the problem, thinking that there will be things to do later, Xu Xiao didn't think about it carefully, and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

deserve it!While smiling at Xu Xiao, Pei Jiuchuan took a vicious bite of the hemp ball.

If Lin Hu hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten that Xiao to death!

On the opposite side, Qu Qi took a sip of porridge silently, then lowered his head, pretending he didn't see anything.

Xu Xiao's doubts didn't last long. After breakfast, when Xiao Chao opened the door and came in, he knew what was going on.

The man's face was obviously scarred, and there were more than one injuries.Judging from the gauze on his forehead, it was obvious that he saw blood.

How do you beat people like this? !He glared at Pei Jiuchuan.

Who told him to do it to you first? !The young master stared back confidently.

It's fine to say bad things at home every day, but he really dares to do it, thinking that no one is protecting his boss?

Standing at the door, Xiao Chao could clearly see the eye contact between the two, and couldn't help but look at the young man more.

Last night, before the other party suddenly attacked, he really did not expect that this little policeman could fight so well.

I don't know if it's because he's old, or if this kid is really good at it.In short, when Lin Hu managed to separate the two twisted people, Xiao Chao clearly realized that he was at a disadvantage.

But last night, it was indeed that he did something wrong first.Xu Xiao's subordinates came to him to settle accounts. Although Xiao Chao was a little aggrieved, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

In addition to the pain in the body and face, bear with it, and it will pass.

"Did you find anything?"

He looked at Xu Xiao and revealed what happened a few hours ago.

"..." The person involved didn't intend to pursue it, and Xu Xiao wouldn't scold Pei Jiuchuan in front of outsiders, so he could only silently glance at the young master, and then cast his eyes on Tong Xiaoge who had just swallowed the last mouthful of mochi with satisfaction. .

"I don't know if these are useful things." The little pigeon took a sip of the pumpkin porridge, then opened the notebook.

It is not difficult to find out the current situation of Chen Tiankuo. After all, it has only been more than three months since he officially returned to social life until yesterday.

It was too easy for Tong Xiaoge to find out his whereabouts.

However, facing such a simple situation, neither Xu Xiao nor Xiao Chao could laugh.

"Chen Tiankuo's parents passed away one after another while he was serving his sentence." Tong Xiaoge tapped the keyboard, "During his second and third years in prison respectively."

"Apart from his parents, Chen Tiankuo has no close relatives in Yaojiang. Earlier, he contacted an uncle of his out of town, and said that since he committed the crime, the two sides have not moved much."

That is to say, after he was released from prison, it was impossible for Chen Tiankuo to contact these relatives who had long been ignorant of him.

"At the same time, I checked his accounts. There are three accounts opened under Chen Tiankuo's name, two of which have no savings. Only the account of Bank X has a deposit of nearly 30 yuan. According to the records, it should be the inheritance of his parents. , entered a long time ago."

There was no abnormal remittance, and from the embarrassing way Chen Tiankuo got along with his relatives, it was obviously impossible to hide money with them.In other words, the person who gave him the news may not have a relationship with him in the relationship between buying and being bought.

"However." Seeing that the faces of the two leaders were not very good, Tong Xiaoge changed the topic, "I found something else."

She tapped the keyboard twice, then turned the notebook around and showed it to Xu Xiao.

There are two transfer certificates on the screen. Obviously, one belongs to the residential house and the other belongs to the business Buick.

The dates of the two certificates are not far apart, basically a month ago.This is not surprising. Now that I have returned to society and have money from my parents, it is natural to buy a house and a car.

Just as Xu Xiao wanted to speak, he understood what Tong Xiaoge meant before he could speak.

He didn't show the video tape to his subordinates, so Xiao Gezi simply regarded Chen Tiankuo as a crazy psychopath, kidnapped the child and committed suicide.

But even so, from the perspective of suicide, these two transfer slips can already explain some problems.

"If he has already thought about committing suicide in prison...after he comes out..." Xiao Chao said, "Buying a car and a house doesn't seem to be necessary..."

This kind of action at least shows that when he was just released from prison, Chen Tiankuo had no thoughts of suicide in his heart.

So...Xu Xiao and Xiao Chao looked at each other, what happened in the rest of the time that made the other party suddenly give up the idea of ​​starting a new life?

Recalling the appearance of Chen Tiankuo coughing in the video tape, Xu Xiao frowned.

Fortunately, Tong Xiaoge was very careful in doing things. Xu Xiao told her to look up the detailed information, so she couldn't wait to go to the Chen family's ancestral grave and dig out all eighteen generations of their ancestors to dry.

"Look at this." She switched a window.

It is Chen Tiankuo's medical records when he was in prison.

Xu Xiao glanced roughly, and quickly found the line that Tong Xiaoge wanted him to read.

"Early stage lung cancer..." he read softly.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain Chen Tiankuo's non-stop coughing performance, and his phrase "I won't live long".

but……

Xu Xiao still had doubts in his heart.

Although it is related to cancer, it is early stage and not late stage after all.After finally getting out of prison, and with the money left by his parents, Chen Tiankuo could choose to be hospitalized and heal himself before his condition deteriorated further.

But he didn't.

"The suspect probably didn't really want to live before." Tong Xiaoge didn't know what was going on in his boss's mind, so he thought to himself, "I bought a car and a house, and enjoyed life for a while. Afterwards, my mood will be unstable, so..."

The little pigeon's guess is indeed a possibility.

So... Xu Xiao and Xiao Chao frowned at the same time. The reason why Chen Tiankuo didn't say anything before was probably because he thought he could last a few more days.As a result, as soon as his condition deteriorated, he simply went all out and died early?

Tong Xiaoge scratched her head, showing a little embarrassed look.

"There is only one registered ID number under his name..." She turned around and didn't look at Xu Xiao. "In the past few months, I haven't had any particularly frequent contacts...well...not more than five times."

She actually thinks this is quite normal. When adjusting the file yesterday, she glanced at the other party's verdict.Presumably, the cronies and friends from back then were either still in prison or had been reincarnated a long time ago.

It is not surprising that Chen Tiankuo has no friends to keep in touch with when he re-enters the society.

After six years in prison, it is indeed a troublesome thing to re-establish social relations with ordinary people.

"However." Turning around again, seeing the boss and Deputy Director Xiao's faces down at the same time, Xiao Gezi added, "Before the kidnapping happened, there were three call records.
