what the murderer wants to do

The person on the film.From the eyebrows to the outline, they are different from the person who imprisoned him.

"That's it." Xu Xiao nodded, not wanting to ask any more questions.

The fishy-sweet smell in the throat began to rise again, if he stayed for a while longer, he might scare Lin Jixiang and Qu Qi.

If the unknown person wants to torture him, then at least half of the success has been achieved.

Xu Xiao was not afraid, nor did he mind what the other party did to him.But involving innocent people greatly exceeded his bottom line.

"Uncle..." Lin Jixiang called him hesitantly when he left.

"The matter between Xue Huai and Chu Chengcheng..."

The young man hesitated to speak: "Is it very important?"

"I said, just asking." Xu Xiao raised his hand and covered his mouth, "Don't think too much."

Now that things have developed, he doesn't want to force Lin Jixiang any more.

☆, life and death (19)

"Where is Xu Chu?"

When Pei Jiuchuan slipped back to the Municipal Bureau before get off work, Tong Xiaoge was the only one in the conference room.

"You didn't go to the hospital with him?" Little Gezi looked puzzled, "Then why did you go today?"

"Uh..." The young master's expression was a little awkward when he dismantled his own platform.

These days he always wanted to go home, but he couldn't get away.In front of his boss, he was not so bold as to make up an excuse to deceive the other party.

Therefore, when Xu Xiao decided to go to the hospital, it was rare for Pei Jiuchuan to ask to follow.

But the man didn't seem to want him to go, he didn't say a word, and drove away by himself.

After finally having half a day of free time, the boss just left in front of him. After a while, Pei Jiuchuan saw the timing and sneaked out of the office.

"Is the person still in the hospital?" He changed the subject and took out his mobile phone.

"Impossible." Tong Xiaoge was too lazy to ask him where he went, "I've been here for a long time, did I get called away by Director Xiao?"

There were no other cases in the past two days, only Xiao Chao ran to the bureau every three days.It was about the other party's only son, and Tong Xiaoge expressed her understanding.

"It's possible." Pei Jiuchuan nodded and exited the dialing interface.

"Are you in a hurry?" Little Pigeon turned his head and looked at his expression.

"It's nothing." Pei Jiuchuan shrugged and pointed to the wall clock on the wall, "It's time to get off work, you go back first, I'll wait for Xu here."

His expression was the same, Tong Xiaoge had always been big-hearted, so he didn't think much about it.In addition, Qu Qi was still waiting for her to deliver the food, and after simply packing up and saying hello to Pei Jiuchuan, she disappeared.

In the conference room, only the young master was left alone.

He took a breath, thought for a while, took out his phone again, sent a text message to his boss, and walked to the window.

The days are gradually getting shorter, and the setting sun is pressing on the glass, dyeing the gray and white buildings with exaggerated colors.

Tong Xiaoge was right, he did ask his boss for something.

The main residence of the Pei family is on the east side of the Yaojiang River, which was chosen by Mr. Pei himself.It takes less than half an hour to drive from the city bureau.

Since coming to the city bureau, Pei Jiuchuan hasn't been back much.Things in the bureau are too busy, even if he is just an errand runner, it is difficult to find time for a while.

Moreover, when returning to the main house, apart from seeing Grandpa, he would occasionally meet some people he didn't want to see.

The population composition of the Pei family is not that troublesome. Mr. Pei has three sons and a daughter under his knees.After Mu Zhenbao's mother passed away, there were only three brothers left in the family, headed by Pei Jiuchuan's father.

Pei Yuan, his father, the eldest son of Mr. Pei, is also the most important person in the entire Pei family besides Mr. Pei.

Unlike the young master, Pei Yuan is naturally suitable for dealing in officialdom and shopping malls.For the Pei family to be able to firmly take root in Yaojiang, apart from Mr. Pei's initial foundation laying, Pei Yuan's slickness and dexterity are also an indispensable part of it.

Whether he likes this man or not, Pei Jiuchuan must admit that his father has something to do with the development of the Pei family to this day.

But even so, every time he meets each other, he doesn't even want to give him an extra look.

No one is perfect, like Mu Zhenbao's father, Pei Yuan is not only good at business, but also good at love.

Pei Jiuchuan didn't know if it was a weakness or a pastime. In short, from the time he could remember to the present, the people around the other party had changed countless times.There are both men and women, and all of them are very good-looking.

Pei Yuan didn't shy away from the existence of these people to him, and would even take them home for the night in front of him.

That's why Mr. Pei took him by his side to raise him when he was old.If he really stayed with Pei Yuan, Pei Jiuchuan would probably be disabled before he reached adulthood.

Even if Pei Yuan didn't say anything, from the attitude of the other party, he could clearly feel that the man he called his father didn't care much about him.

Just like what Mu Zhenbao said, be merciful outside, the illegitimate child probably has one reinforcement legion, one more and one less, what's the difference?

Therefore, when he met Pei Yuan in the main house, Pei Jiuchuan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"Isn't this Mr. Pei!" But the other party will never lack people without eyes, and they may think that by supporting him, they are supporting Pei Yuan.

"The last time I encountered it at the police station, I thought I had read it wrong!"

Deputy Mayor Jiang's face turned into a flower with a forced smile. It was hard for him to be middle-aged, and not long after losing his only daughter, he was able to follow behind Pei Yuan with a glib tongue to gain affection.

Pei Jiuchuan didn't expect to meet the deputy mayor here. His impression was still at the time when Deputy Mayor Jiang was furious at the branch office, and he couldn't remember the nodding and smiling man in front of him for a moment.

"Are you still at the city bureau?"

He didn't respond, Pei Yuan spoke first.

It has to be said that apart from the halo of being the heir of the Pei family, Pei Yuan has his own ability to provoke so many Yingying and Yanyan.Whether it is maintaining a good figure or a deep and charming voice, it can easily fascinate a large number of men and women with different thoughts.

Pei Jiuchuan raised his eyes, just in time to meet the man's gaze.

"It's nothing, I'm going to find grandpa." He didn't want to talk too much with the other party, and a few polite words were enough in front of outsiders.

To whom do you have to play the scene of fatherly kindness and son filial piety?

But Pei Yuan nodded to Deputy Mayor Jiang, who obediently understood and left first.

The young master didn't know what the hell this man was trying to do.

Their father and son were about the same height, so Pei Yuan stood in front of him, looking him straight.

"I heard from Jiang Cheng that you got very close to a policeman recently?"

"Just have fun, don't take it too seriously." Pei Jiuchuan glared, and Pei Yuan looked away first, "You're still young, don't be fooled."

Having grown up so big, the young master has never heard a few words of concern about him from the other party. As soon as he came up today, he began to criticize his private life.

But he was not as angry as he imagined. Instead, the first thought that came to his mind was, when did Jiang Cheng go to Pei Yuan's side?

Jiang Cheng was personally selected by Mr. Pei. In various senses, the other party can only be responsible to Mr. Pei.

Neither Pei Yuan nor the other uncles could command Jiang Cheng.

But now, the meaning revealed by Pei Yuan's words is very subtle.

Growing up in such a family since childhood, no matter how much he was cared for by his grandfather, Pei Jiuchuan still knew something.

"Don't worry about my father." He thought of a lot of counterattacks in his heart, and the last thing he said was this sentence, "Compared with you, I am far behind."

Being ridiculed by his own son, Pei Yuan didn't show any offended expression on his face.

He spread his hands, smiled at Pei Jiuchuan, turned around and left.

But this was not what the young master wanted to tell his boss. After chatting with his grandfather, on the way back, he received a call from Mu Zhenbao.

Mu Zhenbao didn't procrastinate, and directly described Nian Nian's painting.

Don't think too much, the extra person is probably Qi Cheng.

But why did Niannian suddenly draw such a picture?

Pei Jiuchuan doesn't think that Niannian doesn't know anything, after all, the Qi family has been taking care of each other in the past few years.It is not uncommon for words to leak wind.

Although Nian Nian is small, she also has her own thoughts.

Since he called Xu Xiao's father, there was no need to mention Qi Cheng.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't remember Qi Cheng, children have a vague yearning for their father.Even with Xu Xiao by his side, Qi Cheng's position in Nian Nian's heart cannot be replaced by others.

It's a little subtle when Kehua appears at this time.

There must be some reason for Niannian to draw this picture.

On the phone, Mu Zhenbao also mentioned that something was wrong with Nian Nian after going to the little fat man's house.

A pair on both sides, Xiao Yuanqiu is the only person Pei Jiuchuan can think of.

However, he was not familiar with Xiao Chao, so he couldn't rush to ask him.On Nian Nian's side, the young master didn't dare touch the sensitive relationship between father and son casually.

There are some things that Xu Xiao can only ask Niannian himself.

But after waiting and waiting, seeing that the sky was going to be completely dark, the boss still showed no sign of coming back.

Pei Jiuchuan was a little anxious, and when he thought of the conversation between the two before, he felt even more uneasy.

He took out his phone again and pressed the number.

After a long ten seconds, this time, the call finally got through.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Pei Jiuchuan complained, "Where are you?"

"Scared you?"

Xu Xiao was sitting in the car without turning on the lights. The car had been parked here for half an afternoon, and he just stayed here without going anywhere.

"Can I not be scared?" The young master's heart was so suspended that he could let go, "Where are you, I'll look for you."

"The doctor said that Lim Kit Siang may not be able to stand up."

However, Xu Xiao did not answer this question.

"It was too bad." He put his hand on his forehead. "The drug has damaged some of the nerves. I will probably only be able to stay in a wheelchair in the future."

There was silence on the phone.

"This matter has nothing to do with him." Xu Xiao put his hand down and stared at the other side of the street, "He shouldn't be stuck in it."

"Tell me where you are." Pei Jiuchuan stood up, "I'll go there now."

"When I asked him today, he didn't tell the truth." Xu Xiao continued to talk about his own affairs, ignoring his subordinates, "It's all like this now, why do you think he still has to hide it?"

I would rather endure physical and mental suffering, and suffer unimaginable pain than ordinary people, and I am unwilling to tell the other party.

"Who is this person that Lin Kitxiang is defending?"

Xu Xiao threw the phone onto the co-pilot, and then calmly stared at the familiar building in front of him.

The author has something to say: My family called today and told me that my grandfather had passed away.

I hope everyone cherishes the time spent with the elderly, and I also hope that the elders in the little angels' homes are safe and sound.

☆, life and death (20)

Pei Jiuchuan raised his voice subconsciously: "What did you say?"

On the other end, the man has cut off the call.

He froze in place holding the phone, his body didn't move, but his brain was still thinking rapidly.

In this world, there is only one person who can make Lim Kit Siang grit his teeth and take the initiative to defend.

"No way..." The young master felt a thin layer of cold sweat on his back.

On the other side, Xu Xiao continued to stare at the door of the orphanage.

After spending an afternoon here, he still hasn't decided whether he should go in or not.

There were so many things he wanted to ask Yao Qing, and he didn't know how to ask them.

Did she discover the relationship between Xue Huai and Chu Chengcheng herself?

If not, who told her?

In addition...Xu Xiao tried hard to suppress the speculation in his heart, why did he tell Lin Jixiang?

The girl's shy and timid expression flashed in front of her eyes again and again, she looked very cute.

"Xu Chu!"

He was still sitting in the car in a daze, and the car window was shot twice.

The city bureau and the orphanage were not far away, and there were not many red lights on the road. Pei Jiuchuan was afraid that his boss would not wait for him, so the speed of the car directly reached the highest speed limit in the city.

Fortunately, when he arrived, the man's car was parked across the road.

"Is there any misunderstanding?" The young master opened the car door, "Isn't Yao Qing..."

Halfway through the sentence, he stuck.

If the person who told Lin Jixiang was really Yao Qing, then the girl's purpose...

Pei Jiuchuan didn't want to think about it deeply. In his eyes, the other party had always been Xue Jiaming's beloved daughter.

"Go in and ask." The subordinates chased after him, and there was only this road left in front of Xu Xiao.

But unlike the young master, Xu Xiao would rather that Yao Qing just couldn't accept the reality for a while, and was dazzled by jealousy and resentment.

instead of...

"Why are you here?"

The old dean didn't expect them to come to the door suddenly, he was a little surprised: "Aren't you busy today?"

"I just got off work, so I stopped by to see you." Xu Xiao smiled and glanced around without leaving a trace.

He didn't see Yao Qing.

"Where's Qingqing? Are you studying?" Pei Jiuchuan was so scratched in his heart that he asked first.

"Their school has been busy with some kind of competition lately, tutoring at night, and they can't come back until late." The old dean waved his hand, "The child is much more tired now than we were then, and it's only been a few days since school started, I think her face is a little smaller .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old dean realized that these two people didn't seem to drop by to see him casually.

"Qingqing her..." The old man held onto Xu Xiao's arm tightly, "What happened again?"

"No, don't worry." Xu Xiao had been hesitant before, because he was also worried that acting abruptly would affect the old dean's health.

But judging from the current situation, no matter what, as long as the matter has something to do with Yao Qing, the opponent's strings will be tensed immediately.

"There is a case that requires her statement, we just came to ask her, there is nothing else." He comforted the old dean, "Qingqing is a good child, nothing will happen."

"That's good...that's good..." Before Yao Qing was taken away by the anti-narcotics team, the old dean had a lot of psychological shadows. He was afraid that one day he would not pay attention. The child was mixed with the group again.

"After school started, she came home on time every day. I also called the teacher about the competition this time." The old dean grabbed Xu Xiao's sleeve and defended Yao Qing, "She won't be the same as last time." Those people stayed together."

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with what happened last time." Seeing that the old man was so nervous, Xu Xiao could only continue to comfort him, "Do you remember Lin Jixiang? Something happened to him, we want to ask Qingqing if we have seen each other recently pass him."

When he said this, he just wanted to comfort the old man a little bit, but unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the old dean's expression suddenly became strange.

"Did something happen to Jixiang?" As if he couldn't believe what he heard, the old man's hand tightened a bit, causing Xu Xiao a little pain.

He could only nod his head. There was no need to hide from the other party about Lin Jixiang's matter: "Lin Jixiang disappeared for two months and only reappeared on November."

However, the look of the old dean was worse than he had imagined.

"Are you going to the school to look for Qingqing?" The old principal let go of his hand and looked at Xu Xiao, "I'll go too."

"Huh?" Pei Jiuchuan and Xu Xiao were stunned at the same time.

The old man raised his eyes, glanced at the faces of the two, and then quickly moved away.

"A few days ago, Qingqing went out for a trip." The voice of the old dean was muffled, "When she came back, she told me that Jixiang sent her."

However, at school, they did not find Yao Qing.

"Today, the teacher in charge of the competition is temporarily on sick leave and will not make up classes at night." The teacher in charge of evening self-study probably saw the police for the first time, and his face was a little nervous. "The students who don't live on campus should have gone back."

Hearing this, the old dean staggered.

"Could I trouble you to contact Yao Qing's class teacher?" Xu Xiao quickly supported the old man, and at the same time gave Pei Jiuchuan a wink.

The young master understood, and helped the old dean, who was barely standing, from his boss.

"Little Gezi, it's me." Xu Xiao dialed the phone, "Go back to the bureau now, and help me find Yao Qing."

If it is said that the news was revealed to Lin Jixiang earlier, it could barely be regarded as the cause of subtle jealousy.Then, concealing the disappearance of Lin Jixiang from the old dean is obviously far beyond the normal scope.

Whether Xu Xiao likes it or not, things seem to be slipping in the direction he least wants to see.

Soon, they contacted Yao Qing's head teacher.

According to the teacher in charge, they got out of school very early today, because there was no competition, and the students who didn't need to study by themselves in the evening basically left after school.

Yao Qing was a day student, so naturally she didn't need to study by herself in the evening, so she didn't stay in school.

"I'm checking the surveillance." Not long after arriving home, Tong Xiaoge was dragged back to work.

The surveillance at the school gate showed that Yao Qing stopped at the school gate for a while, and then walked in the opposite direction from the orphanage.

"You go back to the courtyard first, okay?" Xu Xiao discussed with the old dean, "As soon as there is news, we will notify you immediately."

The old dean shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Xu Xiao could only look at Pei Jiuchuan again, and signaled his subordinates to take good care of the old man.

Yao Qing... He frowned. Before they knew it, what kind of person did the girl know?

Soon, he got the answer to this question.

Unlike Lin Jixiang's disappearance, Yao Qing's figure has appeared in the surveillance of several main roads.Therefore, following these surveillance videos, Tong Xiaoge easily found the girl's final destination.

"Oh my god...what's she doing..." Staring at the screen, Little Pigeon felt almost breathless.

The monitoring screen was very clear, and the colorful neon lights began to flicker when the sky was still dark.Under the reflection of various lights, the girl walked into a private club in a familiar way, wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

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

Old Dong has not opened this club for a long time. Strictly speaking, this club was not in his hands at the beginning.

A shrewd businessman knows how to sell at the right time. After buying at a low price, the club with few customers is transformed into Lao Dong's place. Every evening, customers come and go, which is extremely lively.

In fact, he has no business know-how, only one sentence.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't meddle in things you shouldn't meddle in.

Lao Dong will not provide any illegal things to customers, and leave a handle for himself.As for what customers want to bring to have fun, it is not in his consideration.

Turning a blind eye to the matter of turning a blind eye has nothing to do with him as long as it is done up and down.

So, for him, tonight is no different from other nights, he just needs to sit in the office and wait for customers to come to his door.

He was snuggled up on the couch, planning to go on vacation abroad when the month was over.Relaxing once in a while is good for your mind and body.

However, before he could sit still for a long time, the phone rang after a while.

"Boss!" It was the security guard at the door, "The police are here!"

police? !

Old Dong quickly calculated in his mind, everything that should be done this month has been taken care of, where did the police come from?

But he couldn't allow him to think too much, within a few words, the other party had already walked up.

"Find someone." Xu Xiao didn't want to say more, and simply nodded at him.

"I said comrade." The policeman looked at him strangely. Old Dong couldn't figure out the other party's temper, so he could only smile apologetically, "Why did you make a surprise inspection today? Didn't you just come here once?"

God bless!Don't make any trouble to those fooling around in there!

Pei Jiuchuan followed behind Xu Xiao, looking from room to room.

The first few rooms were okay, they were all men and women drinking and chatting, they didn't come to check at first, so after a few glances, they were gently uncovered.

But the back room grew unruly, and when the door was pushed open, the scantily clad woman shrieked and pulled the blanket from the sofa to her chest.The hoarse roar was accompanied by the man's curses, which became discordant notes in the deafening music.

"Talking about friends..." Old Dong explained with a flattering smile, "It's normal..."

Pei Jiuchuan glanced at it, and the high heels that were kicked on the ground at random obviously did not belong to Yao Qing.

The slender high heels are covered with sparkling powder, which looks like shiny awls.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiao frowned, closed the door without saying anything.

Old Dong's heart fluctuated up and down, what on earth is this man here for?Not anti-pornography?

Before he had time to be happy for a long time, when he thought about it a little bit, Lao Dong's face turned pale.

But he couldn't say anything, he could only follow behind the other party holding his breath.

Looking at them one by one, there was only one last room left in front of them.

Standing in front of the door, Xu Xiao took a deep breath and turned the doorknob.

Not surprisingly, the door was locked from the inside.

"I'll come, I'll come." Old Dong squeezed forward and took out the key.At this time, he could only pray in his heart that the people inside should not do anything too outrageous.

After trembling for a long time, the door lock opened with a click.

Xu Xiao pushed Old Dong aside and kicked the door shut.

"Do not--"

The first one to scream was Old Dong who was pushed away, his widened eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he roared almost hysterically: "No, no, no!"

After seeing the scene in the room clearly, Pei Jiuchuan subconsciously took a step back.

Unlike the previous rooms, there are no messy lights or deafening music in this room.

The window was half open, and the evening breeze came in from outside, gently caressing the girl's hair.

Yao Qing seemed to be asleep, lying quietly on the coffee table. Because his back was facing the door, Pei Jiuchuan couldn't see her expression.

White powder and transparent medicine bottles were scattered on the dark carpet, and at the end of the coffee table, a syringe was slanted there, half hanging out, crumbling.

The wind got stronger, and with a snap, the syringe rolled down.

☆, life and death (21)

The autopsy results came back quickly.

The powder scattered underground, as well as the mixture in the syringe, are all highly pure No. [-] heroin.

Yao Qing's death was caused by a one-time drug overdose. Before Xu Xiao and the others arrived, the girl had already stopped breathing.

"I really don't know!"

Old Dong cried with snot and tears: "The girl has been here several times, and she looks normal every time. This matter has nothing to do with us! I don't know anything!"

"She came alone?"

Tong Xiaoge raised her chin and glanced sternly at Old Dong who was sitting opposite, but was not moved by the other's tears.

Old Dong shook his head, and nodded again after a few seconds.

"Who are you fooling!" Tong Xiaoge stared, and slapped the table hard, "Be honest!"

Although he usually does technical work most of the time, the little pigeon also has a bit of momentum when he puts on a straight face.In addition, Old Dong was already guilty, so he couldn't help threatening: "Today she came alone! But a few times before! It seems that someone came with her a few times ago!"

He secretly groaned in his heart, he was really afraid of something!Damn girl!Have fun and don't come to me!

"Who came with her?" Tong Xiaoge still didn't give Old Dong a good look.

"I don't know." Old Dong shook his head desperately.

He was unfamiliar with that man, never seen before.Presumably not the people in this area.

He fully understands this, the dead girl looks about the age of a high school student, if she is seen by someone she knows in a familiar place, there must be a choreography.

Among the customers he receives, there are many such people.Therefore, Old Dong didn't take it seriously.

But who knew they actually took drugs!

Thinking of the scene where the man came before, old Dong's back was covered with cold sweat, he always thought it was just a flesh and blood transaction!

"You said that man didn't come today?"

"Yes." Old Dong nodded, "The two of them often came here in August/September, but we haven't seen each other since...today..."

Today, only the girl came alone, and he took it for granted that the other party had arrived early.

As long as he paid, he didn't bother to care about what happened between the guests.

"Is your surveillance still there?" Tong Xiaoge frowned.

"Yes, yes!" Old Dong nodded desperately as if grasping at a straw, "I have been here for the past three months! Comrade, I am really innocent!"

Tong Xiaoge didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of guy who talked about people and talked about people. When she thought of Yao Qing's death, her blood rushed to her forehead.

She took a deep breath, and left the interrogation room first regardless of the old Dong who was crying behind her.

"Still in there?"

Seeing Pei Jiuchuan standing at the door of the office, the little pigeon stopped.

The young master glanced at the closed door and nodded silently.

Those who stayed inside were Xu Xiao and the old dean. They didn't plan to tell the old man directly about Yao Qing's death.

Last time, the other party's body had already been hurt. After all, his age was such that he couldn't withstand violent emotional fluctuations.

This time...he smiled wryly in his heart, no matter how long he could hide it, in the end, the old dean would probably collapse.

"What kind of shit is this!" Tong Xiaoge resentfully punched the wall on one side, "She's fine in front of her!"

"What does the forensic department say?" She wanted to smash it again, but Pei Jiuchuan stopped her, "Has she... ever taken drugs before?"

Hearing this, the little pigeon froze.

From Tong Xiaoge's stiff movements, Pei Jiuchuan faintly felt something was wrong.

"There is an old needle hole in the vein." Tong Xiaoge turned his face away and stopped looking at the young master, "I haven't judged the exact time yet."

But no matter what, at least when Yao Qing was taken away by the anti-narcotics team last time, Yao Qing had never been exposed to drugs.

In a few months, what happened?

"Are you okay?" Seeing Tong Xiaoge's eyes suddenly flushed, Pei Jiuchuan reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"I'm fine." Little Gezi wiped away her tears carelessly, "When Xu Chu comes out later, you tell him that Yao Qing appeared with a man before, and I'm investigating."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the young master to comfort her, she lowered her head, turned around and left quickly.

Looking at Tong Xiaoge's almost fleeing back, Pei Jiuchuan frowned.

man?What man?

This should have been an exciting clue, but after hearing the news, he didn't feel any excitement.

Before he could think too much, the door was pulled open from the inside.

"I'll take you back." Xu Xiao helped the old dean.

"Qingqing..." Opening his mouth, the old man's tears fell, "Qingqing will be fine, right?"

"When her condition is stable, we will take you to see it." Xu Xiao calmly hugged the old dean even tighter, "Don't worry."

Looking closer, the old man's eyes were bloodshot, obviously crying for a long time.

I don't know what Xu Xiao said, at least for now, the old dean believes that Yao Qing is still alive.

Pei Jiuchuan didn't dare to think about the moment when the other party learned the truth.

"You call Bureau Xiao." He wanted to follow, but was stopped by his boss, "When there is news from Xiao Gezi, you can bring Bureau Xiao over."

Xu Xiao was referring to the orphanage.

If a human life was involved, they would definitely have to search Yao Qing's room.

But at the same time, the old dean couldn't let him know what happened.You can only minimize the movement as much as possible so that the other party will not notice it.

Pei Jiuchuan understood Xu Xiao's meaning, nodded, and went to contact Xiao Chao first.

Before dialing the phone, he couldn't help but glance back at his boss.

With this look, he just met the man's gaze.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Xu Xiao lowered his eyes, helped the old dean and left.

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

After tossing all night, the exhausted old director almost passed out when he returned to the orphanage.

Afraid that the other party might make a mistake, Xu Xiao asked a few older children to stay by the bedside and call him if there was anything wrong.

"Uncle, where are you going?" asked the oldest boy.

"Where is sister Qingqing's room?" Xu Xiao patted his head.

"I know!"

Xiao Douding, who has been following him since he came in, raised his hand: "I'll take uncle!"

Xiao Douding's eyes were shining brightly, and he was still excited about being able to help the police uncle.

He didn't know that sister Qingqing was gone.

"Go back." At the door of Yao Qing's room, Xu Xiao touched his pocket, found a few toffee, and handed it to Xiao Douding.

The child ran away happily.

Standing in front of the dark brown door, after hesitating for a while, Xu Xiao pushed the door open.

Yao Qing's room was not big, but it was very tidy.The table facing the door is full of thick reference books, and the small bookshelf on the side has almost no extra items, all of which are filled with books.

Xu Xiao glanced roughly, flipped through, and found nothing suspicious, nor anything of value.

Standing in the middle of the room, he lowered his head and thought for a while. Last time, the scene of the girl digging out the phone from under the bed jumped into his mind.

Yao Qing's bed was a bit low, Xu Xiao could only kneel on the ground and bend down to see the bottom of the bed.

The depths of the bed were very dark. He took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and took a photo inside.

In the narrow space, under the bright light, a box lay quietly in the deepest place, tightly against the corner of the wall.

"You are the one."

Xu Xiao muttered something to himself, almost laying on the ground before he checked the box.

The size of the box is not small, and it can probably accommodate a normal-sized notepad.While moving, I could hear something shaking back and forth inside, clanging.

But in terms of weight, it doesn't look like there are only a few empty bottles.

There was no floating dust or dust on the surface of the box, that is to say, the frequency of Yao Qing opening this box was not low.

What will it be?

There was a small lock on the box, and there was no key, so Xu Xiao simply took out his saber and pried the box open from the gap.

The not-so-strong box couldn't withstand such a toss, and with a little force, the gap expanded several times.

As expected, in the box, two bottles of white powder lay there quietly, and a brand new syringe was placed next to it.

However, these few things did not attract Xu Xiao too much. In contrast, the objects placed under the bottle made him more interested.

He put the box lightly on the table and carefully put the vial and syringe first into the evidence bag.

In this way, there is only one thing left in the box.

The old notepad was lying at the bottom of the box. Although the edges were a little curled, from the perspective of maintenance, it was obviously taken care of by the owner.

Inside...Xu Xiao picked up a piece of paper, there was something important that Yao Qing could pay so much attention to.

Faint handwriting is exposed from the pinched place, and it seems that it is probably a personal item such as a diary.

But Tong Xiaoge inexplicably felt that the man's exposed jaw was somewhat familiar.

"Anything clearer?" She frowned.

"Yes, yes!" Old Dong nodded desperately, "There is another one on the stairs! It can shine on the front face!"

Tong Xiaoge obeyed and found the video at the stairs.

"this is not……"

Pei Jiuchuan's eyes widened at the same time as her.

A familiar face looked at the screen indifferently, it was none other than the cause of a series of messy events during this period.

Chen Tiankuo.

"I'll call Xu Chu!" Pei Jiuchuan frantically took out his phone.

Before he could press the number, the door of the meeting room was pushed open vigorously.

"Where's Xu Xiaoren?" Xiao Chao rushed in and quickly scanned around.

"Xu Chu went to the orphanage." Not long after contacting the other party, Xiao Chao did not expect to arrive so soon, the young master pointed to the screen
