spirits in throat

Back at the police station, Zhou Ye and Rong Zhao saw Xiao Qian and Zheng Ke getting off the police car.

A suspicious person was found from the surveillance. This person delivered food to a university next to Ye Qian's company.

I don’t leave when the food is delivered every morning. I stay at the entrance of the subway station at 08:30 on time, follow Ye Qian all the way to the company, and then leave in the car that delivers the food. I return around [-] o’clock in the evening and wait for Ye Qian at the door of the company. .

Ye Qian has only been on the job for half a month, and he shows up almost every day, like a fanatical crush stalker.

The man's identity has been found out. His name is Liu Hu, 32 years old, unmarried, living in Liujia Village in the eastern outskirts of the city, where he grows and sells vegetables for a living.

Xiao Qian clicked on a surveillance video on the computer: "This was taken near their company on the night Ye Qian disappeared."

In the picture, Ye Qian was standing at the gate of the company, wearing a red skirt, it was raining heavily outside, she didn't have an umbrella in her hand, she seemed to be waiting for the rain to stop, or to go to the convenience store opposite the company when the rain stopped buy an umbrella.

At this time, Liu Hu appeared.

His attire was different from the cheap T-shirts he used to wear casually when delivering food. He specially wore a neatly pressed shirt, leather shoes on his feet, and carefully combed hair.

Liu Hu approached Ye Qian and took out an umbrella from his bag. Ye Qian declined a few times, seeing that Liu Hu had two umbrellas, so he accepted it, and then the two of them walked towards the subway station together holding two umbrellas .

Passing a corner where no one was around, Liu Hu dragged Ye Qian into his grocery delivery truck, and the car drove away.

Xiao Qian looked at the surveillance screen and said: "The suspect was flustered and not calm when he was dragging people. The whole murder process was also clearly photographed, and he didn't have anti-reconnaissance skills at all. It seems that it has nothing to do with the 6.12 case."

Most people are normal, nervous and scared when doing bad things.Few people are as highly intelligent and cruel as Lu Hairong and Feng Mingchen.

Xiao Qian continued: "Liu Hu didn't deliver the food this morning, but a person from the same village brought it for him."

Zhou Ye said in a deep voice, "Go to Liu's Village and arrest people."

Because of Bai Xiaoqing's death, Zhou Ye gave Bai Xudong a month's leave, and asked him to take care of Bai Xiaoqing's funeral, take time out to relax and adjust his mentality.

Bai Xudong was not there, Zhou Ye led the team himself.

There was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, and Fan Yao walked in with a piece of information: "Team Zhou, this is the bullet inspection report that just sent over from the trace inspection side, and shot and killed Feng Mingchen."

Zhou Ye led someone outside, took it, and quickly scanned it: "It was smuggled from abroad."

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Rong Zhao in a low voice, "It's the same batch that was found on Guan Xu and my master back then."

Of the thirteen members of the Guan family extermination case, twelve were hacked to death with random knives, and Guan Xu was shot to death.

Walking to the big office, Zhou Ye stopped by Fan Yao's desk, took out a file from the folder on her desk, and threw it to Rong Zhao and the others: "This is Ye Qian's file, everyone have a look. "

Xiao Qian and Zheng Ke have conducted in-depth research on Ye Qian, only Rong Zhao has not read it, and Zhou Ye showed it to Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao opened it, Ye Qian is nothing special, she just graduated in June this year, majored in accounting at university, and is now a pharmaceutical salesperson.

In the column of family members, Rong Zhao's eyes were instantly attracted by a name. Ye Haiyang, Ye Qian's father, was shot and died six years ago. The bullet was shot by the same group that killed "Guan Xu", Feng Mingchen and Master Zhou Ye.

Rong Zhao tightly clutched the document in his hand, almost crushing the paper.

Six years ago, not long after he escaped from the massacre, after intense inner struggle, he finally decided to go to the police station, to cooperate with the police in investigating the case, and to surrender himself.

He met Ye Haiyang in police uniform on the street, told him his identity, and was willing to go with him.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Haiyang was shot and died.Then he found a small monitoring device on himself, and realized that all his whereabouts were being monitored by a pair of invisible eyes.

It was also from that time that he was careful everywhere, and over time, he was forced to develop his skills, and no surveillance camera could catch him anymore.

He was admitted to the police academy, on the one hand, to investigate the family murder, and on the other hand, to avoid the surveillance of those eyes.No matter how capable that person is, it is impossible for him to extend his eyes to the heavily guarded police academy.

After four years in the police school, he had lived four years of Ansheng. Feng Mingchen's death made him realize that he had never escaped from that person's eyes.

Rong Zhao fell behind the crowd, looking down at the documents in his hands, Ye Haiyang died because of him, he felt guilty in his heart, and would not let his daughter be taken away.

Seeing Ye Qian's mother and daughter on the first rainy night, he felt that her face seemed to have been seen somewhere before, so he stared at her for a long time, was misunderstood by Zhao Yueqin, and called the police.

Ye Haiyang died because of him, if he hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have died.

"Team Zhou," Zheng Ke called Zhou Ye to stop, and said in a low voice, "Ye Qian's father's death is related to the Guan family extermination case. Do you want to inform the second team of Ye Qian's disappearance?"

The task force for the Guan family extermination case was set up in the second team.

Zhou Ye waved his hands: "There is not so much time to delay, it is important to save people first."

Liujia Village is a little far from the Municipal Bureau, and it took more than an hour to drive there by fast car, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived.

Although Liujia Village has a village character in its name, it is actually a famous vegetable base in Dongyu City, providing 70.00% of the vegetable needs of the citizens of Dongyu City.

Every household here grows vegetables, and you can see all kinds of white plastic greenhouses and large green melons, fruits and vegetables from a distance.

It's not hard to find Liu Hu's house, it's not far from the entrance of the village.

A police officer asked the old man who was leading the way: "Liu Hu is over 30, why isn't he married yet?"

In the countryside, it is too late to get married when you are over 25, let alone over 30. The older you get, the harder it is to find a wife.

"I have high vision, I don't like girls in the countryside, I want to look for girls in the city," the old man continued, taking a sip of his dry pipe, "How can people in the city like him, he is old, and he is not good-looking."

The old man pointed to a two-story building that was neither new nor old in front of him with the pipe in his hand: "That's it."

After some searching, it turned out that Liu Hu was not at home, not even the grocery delivery truck he used to drive.

An old woman who peeled corn kernels at the door said: "I didn't come back last night. You go to the mountains to have a look. Huzi likes to climb mountains. I even built a hut there. I always see him."

Two people stayed at Liu Hu's house, and Zhou Ye led them to the foot of the mountain, where Liu Hu's blue grocery delivery cart could be seen from a distance.

The car was parked on the side of the road not far from the entrance of the mountain road.

Rong Zhao put on his gloves, jumped on the grocery delivery cart, and found a pearl earring in the cart, probably from Ye Qian.

Xiao Qian raised his head and looked up the mountain: "What about Team Zhou, Soushan?"

This mountain is very large, covered by dense bushes and overgrown with weeds. There are no steps to go up the mountain, only a few traces of being walked out by people's feet.

It is not easy to search such a big mountain.

Zhou Ye lowered his head and glanced at the time: "Contact the Public Security Bureau of the jurisdiction and ask someone to come over for reinforcements and bring search dogs."

Then he turned his head and nodded to two people who stood guard at the foot of the mountain: "The others go up and search."

Zhou Ye picked up a stick to push away the messy grass, and turned to look at Rong Zhao who was in his group: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Rong Zhao nodded: "You don't have to worry about me, it's important to find someone first."

No one knows what will happen if you are one step too late.

The purpose of taking people away is nothing more than kidnapping and possession. The family members of the victims have not received any calls or messages demanding ransom, so it is obviously not kidnapping.

It rained last night, the ground was muddy, Rong Zhao's shoes were already dirty, and his T-shirt was scratched by branches. He searched for two hours without stopping to take a breath.

Zhou Ye handed the remaining half bottle of mineral water to Rong Zhao: "Your mouth is peeling, drink some water."

Rong Zhao took it and took a sip. After drinking it, he realized that it was Zhou Ye who drank it. He had already swallowed it and couldn't spit it out, so he had to pretend nothing happened: "Thank you."

The two continued to walk forward, and the further they went, the weaker the mobile phone signal became, until there was no signal at all.

"The task force investigated Ye Qian's father before. He was a very ordinary policeman and an ordinary father. No one knew what happened the day he was shot." A string of vines stabilized, and continued. "Ye Haiyang has nothing to do with the Guan family. No one knows how he got himself into trouble."

Rong Zhao grabbed the string of vines that Zhou Ye handed over and continued to climb up, frowned: "Why are you telling me this?"

"Before Feng Mingchen was shot, I promised you that I would investigate the Guan family case with you, not to appease you," Zhou Ye turned to look at Rong Zhao, "I'm serious, so tell me everything you know .”

"There are only the two of us here, and there is no mobile phone signal. I can assure you that I will not tell anyone what you say."

Rong Zhao knew that he couldn't escape Zhou Ye's questioning, so he had already thought out his excuse: "I am friends with Guan Xu, he saved my life, so I will avenge him."

Zhou Ye looked down at Rong Zhao: "Then tell me when you want to talk." Obviously, this set of rhetoric cannot convince Zhou Ye.

Rong Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Guan Xu and I are lovers."

Zhou Ye stopped when he heard this, and looked at Rong Zhao with scrutiny: "Didn't you say that you are a straight man, and that you have never liked anyone, nor have you ever been in a relationship."

Rong Zhao stepped forward, passed Zhou Ye and walked in front, and continued to talk nonsense: "I have a crush on him, can't I? Only because of worldly eyes can I hide my sexual orientation, hide my thoughts in my heart, and dare not be known by others."

Zhou Ye followed Rong Zhao, raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head: "Your ability to make up stories is really good."

Rong Zhao was rubbed by Zhou Ye. From the back of his head to his whole body, all the pores on his body stood up. He was too unaccustomed to having such intimate physical contact with others.

Rong Zhao gave Zhou Ye a hard look, and warned him, "Don't move."

Zhou Ye handed his head to Rong Zhao's hand: "If you feel that you have lost money, I will rub it back for you."

Rong Zhao patted Zhou Ye on the back of the head vigorously, and his hand was pricked by the other's cut head: "Hurry up and find someone."

Zhou Ye looked around, then looked up at the top of the mountain: "Liu Hu won't go too far with Ye Qian."

He looked at Rong Zhao and continued the topic just now: "There are many things that you don't want to talk about, but I can find out by myself." He even vaguely knew something.

Rong Zhao turned his head and stared into Zhou Ye's eyes: "Don't investigate, at least don't investigate now." His voice was very low, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear a faint pleading in his tone.

Since Zhou Ye knew Rong Zhao, he knew his indifference and his cuteness.

This person has such a stubborn temper that eight cows can't be pulled back, and he is a little irritable, and he can't stop punching him, but he has never spoken to him in this tone.

Zhou Ye raised his hand, wanting to rub him into his arms, let him listen to his heartbeat, let him know that he can trust him completely.

He put down his half raised hand: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. One day, you will be willing to tell me."

Rong Zhao knew that Zhou Ye had compromised with him: "I can promise you that I will not conceal information that is helpful to the investigation of the case."

When he said that, he really regarded him as someone on his side.

In this way, the two are considered to have truly reached a consensus and reached a united front.

Zhou Ye looked around, pointed to a line of footprints on the ground nearby, and there were traces of dragging beside the footprints: "Here."

Zhou Ye walked up along the footprints, turned his head and said: "In the case of the Guan family, apart from those seven people, there is also a manipulator behind the scenes. We can deduce his identity from the purpose of this manipulator."

Rong Zhao told Zhou Ye: "The Guan family is low-key and self-cultivated. They never make enemies. I used to hear Guan Xu talk about his family, but I never heard him say that he had any grudges with anyone."

Zhou Ye hummed: "I'll talk to the captain of the second team later."

Rong Zhao paused, and said seriously: "Can I apply to be transferred to the second team?"

Zhou Ye: "No." Don't even think about it.

He added: "Even I was excluded from the case because of my master, not to mention you, and other people are not as easy-talking as I am. If you get too close, you will inevitably be suspected."

After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "If you act coquettishly with me, I will let you go. Others will not treat you like this."

Rong Zhao's cheeks blushed unconsciously, he turned his eyes and said, "I didn't act like a baby to you."

Zhou Ye was about to say something, but was interrupted by Rong Zhao's hand gesture, and said in a low voice, "There is a cabin in front."
