Pingcheng Xishan Forest Park has always been famous for its majestic and majestic scenery, and the cliff landscape of Linchi is a good place for many people to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

However, cliff falls also happen from time to time.

Although the scenic spot has repeatedly emphasized the danger of approaching the top of the cliff, and the barriers that should be set up have also been set up, there are always people who want to cross the barriers to try their own dangers in order to take pictures or simply out of curiosity, and accidents are inevitable in the end.

The Pian'er police from the Xishan Police Station are no strangers to such incidents.

But today, something is different.

A young police officer from the police station was at the scene at this time, standing outside the cordon that had just been surrounded with some surprise, this was the first time he had seen such a formation.Not only the people from the Xishan branch, but even the criminal police team from the city bureau came to investigate in person.

That's right, the criminal police team.

The young police officer murmured in his heart, could it be that this time was not a simple accident?Unexpectedly, after more than two years as a police officer, he finally encountered a murder case.A little scared, but... seems a little looking forward to it.

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly his eyes dimmed, and the light was blocked by a figure in front of him. The young policeman hurriedly raised his head, only to see the policeman from the city bureau who looked about his age, but he dared not And neglect him, because just now I saw that the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xishan Branch spoke very politely to this person.

"Hi, sir!" He immediately stood up and greeted.

Nie Qing nodded slightly to him, his face was gloomy as if a storm was about to usher in.

"Excuse me, are you Police Officer Huang Yue? I heard you were the first to arrive at the scene?" Nie Qing asked hoarsely.

"Well, I came here as soon as I received the call to the police." Huang Yue rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Can you describe to me the situation at that time? Including the situation of the caller." Nie Qing said as he took out his notebook and began to record.

Huang Yue nodded, cleared his throat subconsciously, and replied: "We received the call to the police at 38:52 p.m., the caller used a device such as a voice changer, the gender cannot be distinguished, and the call was also encrypted. Deal with it, the office has not tracked down the personal information yet. After receiving the call, the office sent me and Brother Xu—the one who was standing next to Captain Liao just now—to the scene first, and at the same time contacted the search and rescue team. Let them start looking for people at the bottom of the cliff. Because today is a working day and it is this afternoon, there are not many people in the park. When we arrived, there was no one around, and the caller was nowhere to be found. It was [-]:[-] At [-]:[-], Brother Xu and I reported the situation to the office, and protected the scene, so that the search and rescue team could continue to search. At [-]:[-], Captain Liao from the sub-bureau led people to rush over. At [-]:[-], There you are. You'll know what's next."

After listening to Huang Yue's description, Nie Qing couldn't help but look at him twice, "You remember it very clearly."

"I just liked to watch the time since I was a child, and I got used to it." Huang Yue looked a little embarrassed, scratching his head, "By the way, you don't have to be so polite when talking to me, just call me 'Huang Yue'."

"Call me Nie Qing." Nie Qing reached out and shook his hand, "Thank you, the information you provided is very useful, I will come to you again if I have any questions."

"Okay, okay." Huang Yue nodded fiercely.

Nie Qing also nodded slightly to him, then turned around and went to the other side, where Liao Hongyu of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xishan Branch was standing there talking to his subordinates.

"Captain Liao, how is it?" Nie Qing stepped forward and asked.

"I just found a few tourists who were nearby when the incident happened, but they all said in the same way, 'I was stopped before I got close to the cliff.'" Liao Hongyu said with her brows furrowed. "As for the people who stopped them, I heard that it was a few people in overalls, saying that the protective fence on the cliff is under maintenance, so no one is allowed to approach them."

"Then do they still remember the appearance of these people?" Nie Qing asked.

"Both are wearing hats and masks, and we only met once, so it is basically impossible to do a portrait." Liao Hongyu stared at Nie Qing, and suddenly asked: "By the way, according to our director, the report call you received was from an internal Someone called, but not from our Xishan people, what did he say? How did he know about it? Was he there at the time?"

"He's not at the scene, the same person who called the police told him." Nie Qing thought of Su Jina's phone call, and doubts abounded in his heart.

"Does the caller know him?" Liao Hongyu's eyes became sharper. "What's their relationship? What's the relationship between the caller and the victim?"

The victim... Nie Qing was in a daze for a moment.

Oh, it's Musizer.It seems that not long ago, he regarded Mu Xi Ze as a suspect in the murder case, but suddenly, why did he become a victim?

"Group Leader Nie, I know that the Municipal Bureau is at a higher level than us, and you have the right to keep some information confidential. But now that something happened in Xishan, our people are also actively searching. If you want us to help you with all your strength, shouldn't you first Start with the most basic trust?" Because of Nie Qing's momentary silence, Liao Hongyu probably thought of something else, and his tone was not very friendly.

Nie Qing came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, I didn't deliberately conceal it. It just happened suddenly. I rushed to the scene after receiving the news, and I didn't have time to ask him in detail. But Team Liao don't have to worry, we will take it back tonight. The transcripts are sorted out, and they will be sent to you early tomorrow morning."

Liao Hongyu snorted lightly, "Okay, I hope it's the unabridged version."

Nie Qing looked at him and nodded, "Don't worry. Is there any news from the search and rescue team?"

"Not yet, but I advise you not to have unrealistic fantasies." Liao Hongyu carefully examined Nie Qing's expression, as if to read every hidden message from his face, "Group leader Nie should know the victim, right?" ? If you want him to be alive, I can tell you that it is impossible. This is the steepest cliff on the West Mountain. If you jump from such a high place, you are not a professional diver, and it is impossible to survive."

"But hasn't anyone been found yet? The average depth of the pool is only five meters, and the deepest point is only eight meters. In such a big place, if he really drowned, the body should have been found long ago!" Nie Qing clenched his fists and said .

"The premise is that he really committed suicide." Liao Hongyu's eyes were deep, "What if he was pushed down by someone? Or, there was no such thing as falling off the cliff at all?"

What Liao Hongyu asked was exactly what Nie Qing was suspicious of.Now, Mu Xi Ze is not alive or dead, and it is a bit far-fetched to conclude that he has indeed committed suicide based on just one call to the police.

However, Su Ji said that the person who called him and told him about it was Chen Fangyu.

Does Chen Fangyu have reason to lie?

Why did Mu Xi Ze suddenly come to see Chen Fangyu?Was it on his own initiative or was it inspired by Li Changsheng and Hong Jiajia?Why didn't you contact them immediately?Can't, or don't want to?

Most importantly, where is he now?

If it is really dead, where is the body?

If he is not dead, where will he be hiding at this time?

Nie Qing felt pain in his temples after thinking about it, so he couldn't help rubbing it with his hands, but Liao Hongyu said in a more relaxed tone at this time: "It seems that Team Leader Nie doesn't know much. If this is the case, let's cooperate with each other to investigate. , I’ll go ask about the progress of the search and rescue.”

"I'm sorry." Nie Qing silently watched his back fade away, took out his mobile phone, and called Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng had been waiting so anxiously for a long time, he immediately picked up the phone and asked, "Are you sure?? Is it him?!"

"The body has not been found yet, and there are no witnesses. It is not even confirmed whether anyone fell off the cliff." Nie Qing paused, "Is Su Ji beside you?"

"He's here." Yu Sheng should have opened the public release, and Nie Qing heard the sound of the phone being placed on the table.

"Secretary, I didn't have time to ask in detail just now, can you tell me in detail about Chen Fangyu calling you now?"

"En." Su Ji's voice came over, faintly, as if there was no particularly big emotional ups and downs. "This afternoon, just before I called you, I received a call from a stranger. After I answered it, the other party reported himself as Chen Fangyu."

"Have you confirmed your identity with him?" Nie Qing asked.

"I asked, and he said, 'Do you remember the shooting at No. 220 Wenhua Road?'" Su Ji took a breath, "I think it should be him. That sound and feeling also fits."

"Okay, let's assume it's him first, what did he say about Mu Xi Ze?"

"He just told me that Caesar committed suicide by jumping off a cliff..." Su Ji's voice sounded like water flowing through a blocked pipe, very difficult, "He told me the location and asked me to pass it on to you, and he also He said he would contact me again in two days and wanted to meet me."

"He asked you to meet??" Nie Qing was very surprised, "What the hell..."

"Caesar's life and death are uncertain now, and Chen Fangyu proposed to see Su Ji again. Ah Qing, I think this may be an opportunity." Yu Sheng said at this time.

"I understand what you mean. This time, we don't need to look for it. Chen Fangyu actually came to the door on his own initiative. Of course we should seize such an opportunity. But Mu Xi Ze..."

"What's the situation at the scene? You said that no body was found and there were no witnesses. Isn't the chance of him surviving very high?"

"Having said that, Captain Liao of the Xishan Branch told me that if Mu Xize really jumped from this place, it would be basically impossible to survive. And if he didn't jump, why did Chen Fangyu make such a fuss? Yes He doesn't seem to be doing any good." Nie Qing sighed slightly, "Now I hope he lied."

"Since the body has not been found, there is still hope." Yu Sheng seemed to be trying to convince himself, took a deep breath, and patted Su Ji next to him again, "Don't worry, don't worry. He is so powerful alone , how could he choose the path of suicide, no, definitely not.”

"But what if he didn't choose it himself?" Su Ji raised his head and asked.

"Do you doubt Chen Fangyu?" After Yu Sheng asked for a while, he continued without hearing Su Ji's answer, "Probably not... We analyzed it just this afternoon, and it is unlikely that Chen Fangyu would attack his brother. He has such a good relationship with Caesar." close, won't kill him."

"Then what are we going to do now? Keep searching? What if we can't find it?" Nie Qing asked on the other end of the phone.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "We still have to keep looking. We can't stop until we see someone. But now we have another choice. Didn't Chen Fangyu want to meet Su Ji? Then we might as well wait and see what the purpose of his meeting is." What is it?"

"I'm afraid that time is too late. In ten days, Li Changsheng is going to the United States." Nie Qing said with a heavy heart.

"But there is no other way for the time being—" Yu Sheng's voice stopped suddenly, and then he said quickly and softly: "Uncle is coming back, don't let him know that Chen Fangyu wants to see Su Ji beforehand, I'm afraid he will come back when the time comes I will send other people to follow, and it will be bad if I startle the snake."

"Okay, I will stay at the scene and contact you when I have news." After speaking, Nie Qing hung up the phone.

It just so happened that Nie Shenxing returned to the office after an emergency meeting. He opened the door and found Yu Sheng and Su Ji sitting upright. He asked, "Is there any progress with Nie Qing?"

"No." Yu Sheng and Su Ji replied in unison.

Then, the two of them fell silent again.

At this moment, both of them were thinking about the same question: how to go next?
