The deafening cell phone rang again, Qi Chuchen glanced at the cell phone thrown in front of the steering wheel, and clicked to answer.

"Three?"

"Less than three, but more than two..." Zhang Chao's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Let me see where the nearest airport is, and I'll let you know if any flights are delayed." Qi Chuchen looked ahead and slowed down the car.

"The closest one is Burqin Kanas Airport, but there are very few flights and can be ignored. Then there is Tacheng Airport, which takes about seven or eight hours to drive there. It is the peak season that there are many flights from Tacheng to Urumqi, and the flight from Urumqi to Fengqi is the latest. The last shift is after eleven o'clock in the evening." Yan Mu told Qi Chuchen the information he wanted to check.

"Oh, good. I'll tell you the exact time when I book the ticket." Qi Chuchen said.

"Is there anyone else in your car?" Zhang Chao obviously heard Yan Mu's voice.

"You send me all the information. I will turn on the computer and download it to read on the way. I will hang up first." Qi Chuchen did not answer Zhang Chao's question.

"Pull over in front of you, and I'll drive." Before Zhang Chao hung up the phone, he heard another strange man's voice again.

Qi Chuchen stopped the car, unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and went to the back seat, took out his laptop, and returned to the co-pilot position with the power converter.Turn on the computer, and at the same time call to start booking tickets.In the end, we booked a connecting flight from Tacheng to Urumqi at 7:35 p.m., and then from Urumqi to Fengqi at [-]:[-] p.m., with our luggage checked in directly, and the transfer in between did not take time.

After the air ticket was booked, the computer logged into the intranet, and the system kept sending "beep beep" information prompts, and the information from Zhang Chao's side came one after another.

Qi Chuchen called Zhang Chao while looking through the materials: "If the plane is not delayed, I can appear at the Municipal Bureau in about 17 hours. I have received the materials, and I will read them now. If there is any problem, I will call you."

"When will you arrive? I'll ask someone to pick you up at the airport." Zhang Chao said.

"No need to pick up, I drove to the airport, don't worry, that's it, I'll hang up first, if you have any new progress, please send me."

"I'll make up for your vacation later." Zhang Chao said abruptly before hanging up the phone.

After finishing the call, Qi Chuchen continued to download the data, took out a pen and paper from his bag, and took off his sunglasses while he was in the way, and threw them aside.As soon as Yan Mu turned his head and saw Qi Chuchen's red eyes, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and drove away at Tacheng Airport.

Except for the occasional stop to rest and refuel, Qi Chuchen kept his head buried in reading the materials, writing and scratching on paper from time to time, occasionally sending text messages, and not eating or drinking.

Yan Mu drank four cans of Red Bull along the way, and his attention was all on the steering wheel. Except for the speed limit section, he ran 120, completely ignoring whether he was hungry or not.

After running at full speed throughout the day, I finally passed Datacheng Airport at [-]:[-] in the evening.

The airport is not big. The exterior wall is made of red bricks, with white window frames and door beams. The architectural design is very exotic.Qi Chuchen was busy packing his things back and forth, all kinds of threads, odds and ends, while Yan Mu sat leaning on the driver's seat and watched him come and go without blinking.

Quickly tidied up, Qi Chuchen put his bag on his back and put his notebook on his back, ready to enter the terminal building, when he was about to lift his feet, he remembered something and turned back to lie on the door,

"Drive slowly, be careful, I'm leaving."

Qi Chuchen walked quickly to the terminal building.

Seeing Qi Chuchen's receding back, Yan Mu lit a cigarette, his back gradually became smaller, and soon hid in the terminal building and could no longer see that figure. Yan Mu's eyes did not turn until the cigarette burned. Completely burned to the fingers.

Three days have passed too quickly, what should I do next?where to goThese two questions flashed through my mind, and my rationality told me that I should readjust and plan the route according to the original plan, and then complete the unfinished journey, but Yan Mu felt powerless in an instant, perhaps because he was tired from driving all day , maybe something else.In any case, let's talk about the advanced urban area, restart the car and slowly drive to the urban area of ​​Tacheng.

Drive a straight road into the urban area, follow the road into the center of the city, Yan Mu finds a hotel that looks good and gets a room, puts down his things, and then goes out for a stroll.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he swiped the flight status over and over again, until the status changed from "waiting" to "boarding", then "boarding completed", and finally stayed at "departure", Yan Mu put his phone away. Put it into the pocket, looked up and looked around: "Who am I? Where am I????"

Gathering his mind, he took a closer look at his surroundings. There were a lot of shops on the street, and it was still in the city center. It was less than 8 o'clock, and it was still working hours. Yan Mu picked up his mobile phone and dialed out a number.

"Hello, I rented a car in Urumqi before, and the return location I filled in when I made the reservation is also Urumqi. I want to know whether it is possible to return the car in other places in Xinjiang. Is there any point in Tacheng?"

There was a crackling sound of keyboard tapping on the other end of the phone: "Sir, I checked for you just now, Tacheng can return the car in another place, and I can send you a call later on the phone during working hours of the address, can I?"

"Okay, please send it over, thank you." Yan Mu hung up the phone and continued to wander aimlessly on the street, planning to go back after dinner to check the air ticket.Thinking about what to eat is another problem. I saw a few interesting restaurants when planning, but now I seem to have forgotten all of them...

As the sky darkened, there were more customers in various restaurants, and it was time for dinner in Xinjiang.

Yan Mu walked into a shop that specializes in stewed mutton pancakes, and ordered a small portion of stewed mutton pancakes, a small portion of pilaf, and a bottle of Dawusu.While waiting for the food, Yan Mu took out his phone and pressed a few times to start refreshing the status: boarding is over, waiting for takeoff.

This is the first time to drink alcohol in Xinjiang.The mutton tastes good, and the cake absorbs the mutton soup and becomes tougher, and it tastes better when chewed in the mouth.The local Dawusu has eliminated objective factors such as long-distance transportation bumps, small consumption, and long storage time. Each bottle is relatively fresh, with excellent entrance, mellow flavor, soft cotton taste, and strong malt aroma!Meat, rice and wine is a simple and carefree life, but unfortunately there is only one person.

It was almost ten o'clock after dinner, Yan Mu went back to the hotel to wash up, made a cup of thick green tea, took out his mobile phone, looked through it, and booked the plane ticket.Turning on the TV makes the room not so quiet. From time to time, I pick up the phone to swipe, and the dynamics on the page stay at: "Take off"

At 2:[-] in the morning, the mobile page dynamics: "Arrival"

When Qi Chuchen walked out of the arrival area with his eyes reddened for a day, Zhang Chao was standing at the exit, Qi Chuchen saw him and smiled.

"On the ground or underground." Zhang Chao stretched out his hand.

"On the ground, this exit is not far away." Qi Chuchen took out the car keys and handed them to Zhang Chao.

The two quickly walked to the side of the car, Qi Chuchen opened the trunk, put the backpack in, touched two cans of Red Bull, pulled the co-pilot and sat on it, opened a can and handed it to Zhang Chao: "I think you are suffering too." It’s been at least two nights, come and drink some psychological placebo, I’ve been comforting from morning to night today.”

Zhang Chao took it with a smile, drank it in one gulp, and drove to the Municipal Bureau. On the way, he roughly explained the basis for the merger of the two cases.

At four o'clock in the morning, the meeting room of the criminal investigation detachment on the third floor of Fengqi City Public Security Bureau.A forensic report was first projected on the screen,

"The third victim, Mo Feng, has not yet woken up. This morning, through the cooperation of our forensic doctor and the doctors of the Second People's Hospital, it was found that the anesthetic left in Mo Feng's body was indeed a veterinary anesthetic, and he and the first victim Lu Zhongyan The veterinary anesthetic found in the body is the same one, which is usually used on deer: Lu Mianning. The social relationship between the first victim Lu Zhongyan and the second victim Meng Handong before their deaths was sorted out again, and the video analysis of the last place where it appeared , all found traces of this person named Chen Jia, and they had close contact with Chen Jia some time before their death, and the emotional orientation of the two deceased was of the same sex, and the current signs show that Chen Jia's emotional orientation is also of the same sex."

Zhang Chao played Chen Jia's photo on the projector, and made a summary of the situation in recent days.

"Let's talk about today's progress." Zhang Chao sat on his seat and scanned all the people present.

"Today we sort out Chen Jia's social relations. He is not a local, he is from Minyang County. He is relatively withdrawn and has no friends. His job has been unstable in recent years. His parents have passed away, and one of his sisters is working in Fengqi. Today we I went to find his sister, and his sister told us that they hadn't seen each other for four or five years. She didn't know anything about his friends or work, so there was no valuable information. After I came back, I checked him and her sister. It is true that there has been no contact for many years." Gao Rui, who was sitting next to Qi Chuchen, introduced the situation.

"Following the line of emotional orientation, we checked all the friends groups Chen Jia, Lu Zhongyan, and Meng Handong had joined, the local forums we had joined, and made appointments with a few local group owners and those who were more active in the circle. They all said that Lu Zhongyan and Meng Handong both had fun, and Lu Zhongyan was even nicknamed "Huanchang Huatuo". But Chen Jia's presence was extremely low, and almost no one knew him, and they were sure that Chen Jia had never appeared with these two people. In other words, Chen Jia is not their regular playmate." Luo Hao, who was sitting next to Qin Lili, spoke.

Qin Lili was taking a notebook to quickly write the minutes of the meeting, and at the same time called up the slide show according to the points they mentioned.

"To add, we have been checking Chen Jia's mobile phone, WeChat, QQ, etc. today, and found that after Lu Zhongyan's death, Chen Jia has never used these communication methods. The phone is turned off, and WeChat, QQ, and forum accounts have never been logged in. .” Zhu Zhen, who was sitting in the corner, talked about the situation.

Then everyone began to take turns to report today's progress. After talking about it, the atmosphere became more and more dignified. Everyone found that there seemed to be no valuable progress at the end of the day, and none of the roads went through.
