monologue

Chu Xingmu sat back at his desk in depression, Wen Ti sat quietly in his seat and read a book, Qi Shaocheng came out of the tea room, and for a while didn't know whether he should stay in this office, Chu Xingmu As soon as he looked up, he could see Wen Ti, so he turned his chair around and sat with his back facing Wen Ti. For the first time, Qi Shaocheng felt that the phrase "you can see everything if you live for a long time" is really not a bluff, Chu Xing Mu was so angry with a boy in his twenties and still couldn't refute?

Seeing Wen Ti's quiet and gentle look again, as if he wasn't the one who was eloquent just now, Qi Shaocheng thought to himself, this kid is not simple.

After a while, Bai Yao and Tang Zhe came back. The two of them went to Meng Yue's school to find out about the situation from Meng Yue's teacher, and brought back the surveillance video near the school.

As soon as Bai Yao entered the door, she asked, "Where's Daha?"

Qi Shaocheng replied: "Comrade Chu Daha defected."

Bai Yao: "Huh?"

"Didn't you see it outside? The little bastard wants to have fun as soon as he goes out." Chu Xingmu said in an unhappy tone, and Qi Shaocheng couldn't tell whether he was really angry or was telling Wen Ti.

Tang Zhe put down the bag, Qi Shaocheng poured water for the two of them, hinted at Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti with his eyes, winked for a while, only Bai Yao understood what it meant, Tang Zhe didn't understand Qi Shaocheng's meaning at all, no head I asked without thinking: "Did the two of them quarrel?"

Tang Zhe also had doubts about Wen Ti. When they first met, he regarded Wen Ti as a suspect and followed and monitored him for two days. Later, Wen Ti's suspicion was cleared. Tang Zhe was concerned about Wen Ti's mental illness. It's a bit of a pity.

The second contact was after Su Ai's death. Wen Ti left Tang Zhe his address as a reporter. Later, he never thought that Wen Ti was a member of the Institute of Criminal Psychology of Changqing University, and now he is a member of their team. Consultant, this change of identity made Tang Zhe unable to react for a while.

Chu Xingmu habitually picked up the cigarette and lighter, and just bit the filter into his mouth, Wen Ti, who was sitting behind him, suddenly asked: "Captain Chu, is there no smoking area in this office?"

Chu Xingmu turned his head to look at Wen Ti, Wen Ti maintained a gentle smile, the three big characters in the smoking area were half blocked by Wen Ti, as the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling face, Chu Xingmu can’t be in front of the other three people Said "Can you control it?" Then Chu Xingmu threw the cigarette and lighter on the table, turned his back to Wen Ti and asked Bai Yao: "How is your investigation today?"

Wen Ti saw that he gave up smoking and continued to read with his head down.

Bai Yao was surprised by the abnormal situation between Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu, Tang Zhe gently pushed Bai Yao, Bai Yao reacted and replied: "We not only asked Meng Yue's teacher, but also went around the school to see For a moment, we have also watched the surveillance video on the bus that Meng Yue often takes. The surveillance video of the bus station near the school captured Meng Yue. She was standing with another group of elementary school students, talking and laughing, waiting for the bus. On the way, Meng Yue walked in the opposite direction from the bus station, and the surveillance only captured this section."

"Junior Brother." Bai Yao called Tang Zhe, Tang Zhe went to the computer, and tuned out the surveillance video. Chu Xingmu and Qi Shaocheng surrounded him and watched the video carefully. During the period, Wen Ti raised her head glanced at them.

Watching it three times in a row, the video shows that Meng Yue and several girls walked up to the bus stop, talking and laughing, and passed two buses on the way. They waited at the bus stop for about 5 minutes. The little girl waved her hand, and then left the bus stop. Three minutes later, the bus from the school to Meng Yue’s house arrived. In the ten hours after the video, Meng Yue did not appear on the bus stop. .

"They were still talking in front of them, why did Meng Yue leave suddenly?" Qi Shaocheng asked.

"The video shows that Meng Yue did not greet others. At that time, she was only surrounded by a few of her classmates."

Chu Xingmu asked: "Have you looked for all the children in the video?"

"I've looked for them. They are all Meng Yue's classmates. There were a lot of people at the school gate at noon that day. A little girl said that when Meng Yue left, she just said goodbye to them and didn't say what she was going to do. Those children thought it was Meng Yue's family came to pick her up, so she didn't take the bus."

"They didn't see anyone looking for Meng Yue either?"

"No, there are so many parents and students at the gate of the school. They can't see Meng Yue as soon as they turn around. I guess who Meng Yue should have gone with. Otherwise, why would she leave the bus stop suddenly? If she came home late Her mother would be worried."

"The last place she appeared in Changqing District was the bus stop near the school, in Xinyue District..." Chu Xingmu picked up the notebook that Wen Ti gave him and flipped through it.

"Passing the intersection under the overpass on Badong Road." Wen Ti said casually, and Chu Xingmu threw the notebook back on the table.

"The last place where Meng Yue appeared was at the intersection under the overpass on Badong Road." Lang Lang and Xia Ci walked in from the door, "This case is a big problem."

Everyone else in the office looked at Lang Lang. Lang Lang walked up to Tang Zhe and asked Tang Zhe to call out the surveillance camera at the intersection of Jingba East Road.

"It is indeed Meng Yue in the photo, but there is no Meng Yue in the surveillance video at the intersection." Lang Lang briefly explained what she and Xia Ci found out, and at the same time, she asked Tang Zhe to call out the surveillance camera on Jingba East Road, and came back On the way, she also printed out the photo provided by the Crescent Branch.

After conversations between Xia Ci and the sub-bureau, the investigators at the sub-bureau said that this photo had traces of retouching, and that it was very different from the surveillance video. They had asked the person who provided the photo to find out about the situation, and the other party insisted that the photo was real-time. It was taken, and the photo still has the shooting time, as well as the backup saved in her mobile phone. Because the photos and videos are too discrepant, it is difficult for the branch office to make a decision, so they just sent a few teams to investigate and visit Jingba East Road. However, Meng Yue's family members have not received any kidnapping calls.

As for the reason why Han Shaocheng reported the case to the Municipal Bureau, he suspected that Xizheng knew something. After being introduced, he went to a private detective agency. Progress, that's why Han Shaocheng came to the Municipal Bureau to report the case again.

Tang Zhe called up the surveillance video. There are twelve videos in total, and one is uploaded every hour. Tang Zhe called up the full-day video from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm that day. Lang Lang and Xia Ci have watched the video several times. Bai Yao and Qi Shaocheng surrounded Tang Zhe, and they all focused on the content of the surveillance video.

Tang Zhe fast-forwarded the previous few videos, and he played the video at normal speed around the time of the photo, and several people watched the video attentively.

"Han Ru's friend said that she saw Meng Yue on Jingba East Road after two o'clock in the afternoon, and she took a photo to confirm with Han Ru, but if you look at the video from two o'clock to four o'clock, there is not even Meng Yue in it. There is not even half a shadow of Yue, if it is not convincing, we can watch it from one to five."

The reason why we start at two o’clock is because the journey from Changqing District to Xinyue District takes about two hours, which means that Meng Yue did not go to other places on the way, and the most iconic thing on Meng Yue’s body is the red schoolbag No, none of the children who appeared in the surveillance was carrying a red schoolbag, not even a little girl in a dress.

After watching the video, Chu Xingmu pushed back his chair and sat on the other side. He said, "The one who took the photo was Han Shaocheng's ex-girlfriend Chen Huiru, who is friends with Han Ru."

"Han Shaocheng fought Xizheng not because Xizheng provoked Shen Si, but because Xizheng said that Meng Yue was very cute. He suspected that Meng Yue's disappearance had something to do with Xizheng. Han Shaocheng and Xizheng didn't know each other before. It was revealed that some time ago Chen Huiru took Meng Yue out to play, and met Xizheng during dinner with that female star named Shan Weiya."

After Wen Ti heard these familiar names, she raised her head and looked in Chu Xingmu's direction, then he lowered his head again. The owner of Xizheng's brokerage company is Cheng Hai, and Shen Si is a friend of his elder brother Wen Ruo. Because the termination of the contract has been targeted by the original brokerage company. Not long ago, he saw the magazine he shot four years ago in the mailbox of the studio. Recently, there seems to be a pair of eyes behind him peeping at him in the dark. coincidence?Wen Ti absently flipped through a few pages of professional books related to mental illness, and heard them discuss Xizheng again.

Bai Yao asked in surprise: "Xizheng? Is he not busy as a celebrity? He still has time to run into Shan Weiya. No, the two of them have been rumored a lot before, and it's normal to run into each other during dinner."

Qi Shaocheng was confused and asked Bai Yao: "Who is Xizheng? Who is Shan Weiya?"

"Both of them are celebrities. Xizheng is the one who is not good at acting, it's not natural to fight back. Shan Weiya, there was a variety show a while ago, and the headlines said how beautiful she is." Bai Yao incidentally Taking out his mobile phone and showing them the photos of these two people, Qi Shaocheng sighed.

"Okay, send the photos and videos to the Physical Evidence Department for appraisal. Xiao Tang will give me a copy of the video, and I will take it back to study." Chu Xingmu raised his watch and glanced at the time. It was 06:30 in the afternoon. The pet hospital closes at half past seven, and Chu Xingmu plans to take Chu Daha for a physical examination and vaccinations.

"Didn't you see Chu Daha when you first came in?" Chu Xingmu asked.

Xia Ci walked around the office, saw the food packaging bag under his desk, and asked Chu Xingmu: "It stole my bread again?"

"I'll pay you next time, help me find Chu Daha, and I'll take it for vaccinations before the pet hospital closes." Chu Xingmu picked up the dog leash on the table and prepared to go out to find Chu Daha. Out of the threshold, Chu Daha wandered around the door with his head poking his head. Chu Xingmu just wanted to scold Chu Daha for his lack of conscience, but Chu Daha rushed into the office with a ball of fluffy things in his mouth, and ran to the corner where he had been sitting for a long time. Beside Wen Ti in Li.

Chu Xingmu hurried over, Wen Ti also stood up from the chair, Chu Daha spat out the furry things, Chu Xingmu found that this ball of fur could still move!

"Cat." Wen Ti said.

Chu Xingmu bent down and took a look, and it turned out to be a palm-sized orange kitten, which was wet all over. Chu Daha licked the halazi on his mouth and lay beside the kitten, looking at Wen Ti anxiously.

The anger that Chu Xingmu had just suppressed came up again, and when Chu Daha came back, he went straight to Wen Ti, and he asked Wen Ti, "Where did this cat come from?"

Wen Ti looked at him inexplicably, and asked, "How do I know?"

Chu Xingmu pointed to Chu Daha's dog's head and said: "The good ones don't learn from the bad ones, and the bad ones learn to be sure. Whose cat did you bring back? Hurry up and return it to him! Do you believe that its mother is desperate for you?"

Wen Ti: "..."

Others who hadn’t realized what was going on approached Chu Daha one after another. Immediately, Chu Daha and the little milk cat were surrounded by the crowd. She also stuck out her tongue and licked the kitten. Wen Ti found that there was a wound on the cat's hind leg that had become inflamed and pus-filled.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Xingmu was holding a cardboard box, Wen Ti was leading Chu Daha, and the two of them, a cat and a dog, stood at the gate of the pet hospital. Chu Daha was a very smart dog. When it comes to medical examinations or vaccinations, hide as much as you can, especially in the bureau, Chu Xingmu is busy investigating the case, Chu Daha has disappeared, and he doesn’t know where to go back after dark. At that time, the pet hospital After work, Chu Xingmu could only take it home.

Wen Ti led Chu Daha, who pretended to be calm and looked at the road from time to time, followed Chu Xingmu into the pet hospital. After giving Chu Daha a physical examination, Wen Ti took him to vaccinate, and the little milk cat’s injuries were also treated. alright.

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti stood in front of the small operating table and looked at the palm-sized kitten. Chu Xingmu asked, "Do you raise this kitten?" The kitten was brought over to treat the wound, had a full body examination, and was vaccinated, which cost him a lot of money.

Wen Ti didn't raise his head, he stretched out his index finger and gently touched the little milk cat's head, "It was picked up by Chu Daha."

"Then you mean that Chu Daha picked it up and let me raise it?" Chu Xingmu lowered his head and stared at Chu Daha, who was sluggish after being vaccinated. Chu Daha rubbed his head against Wen Ti's leg. I feel that this dog was raised for nothing, so why did I get close to Wen Ti all of a sudden?When he left in the morning, Chu Daha was still wary of Wen Ti.

"Are pets allowed in the office?" Wen Ti asked.

"Not allowed."

"Then why is Chu Daha free to come and go?"

"It's a retired old comrade who used to work in the Bureau."

Wen Ti compromised: "Okay, I can raise it for a while."

Regarding the adoption of the kitten, they have temporarily reached a consensus. When the kitten has little chance of surviving alone, Wen Ti will raise it for a period of time, and then consider fostering the kitten when it is older.

Chu Xingmu has been running for a whole day and has not eaten until now, and Wen Ti probably has not eaten either. Chu Xingmu felt that his thoughts were too weird. A few days ago, he said in front of Wen Xiangqin that he was interested in Wen Ti , As a result, Wen Ti is now under the same roof as him, but he thinks what purpose Wen Ti has, what purpose can Wen Ti have?

Wen Ti, who had been quietly leading Chu Daha and following behind him, also didn't say a word, but Chu Xingmu spoke first, and he said, "I'm not targeting you for what happened in the afternoon."

Wen Ti said: "Thank you."

Chu Xingmu stopped, "Thank me for what?"

"He raised Chu Daha so well." Wen Ti looked up at Chu Xingmu and said with a smile. He was half a head shorter than Chu Xingmu. Although he wore a suit and looked like a professional elite, in front of Chu Xingmu he He really looks like a child, after all Chu Xingmu is ten years older than him.

"Chu Xingmu, I want to know what prejudice do you have against me?" Wen Ti called Chu Xingmu's full name instead of "Captain Chu" as he always called him.

"I have no prejudice against you, but it's you who shake my face every time I see you." Chu Xingmu reached out and touched the little milk cat in the box. The little milk cat opened its teeth and claws and wanted to scratch Chu Xingmu's hand. "Just like it is."

Wen Ti smiled and said, "You've lifted me up."

The little milk cat opened its mouth and bit Chu Xingmu's hand, and Chu Xingmu said "sharp teeth".

"Thank you for the compliment." Wen Ti said with a smile on her face. Sometimes Chu Xingmu felt that Wen Ti's behavior was the behavior of a lunatic, and sometimes he felt that he was mysterious. Now he felt that there was a barrier between Wen Ti and him .

For example, now, the two of them can talk freely, but only for talking.

Wen Ti said: "About Han Shaocheng, I also have something to tell you."

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti got into the car, Chu Daha and the little milk cat were in the back seat, Chu Xingmu closed the car door and asked: "What do you want to say?"

"Shen Si is my brother's friend. Xizheng debuted for eight years, and Shen Si acted as a stepping stone for him for eight years. In other words, without Shen Si, there would be no Xizheng now."

"Your brother? Wen Xiangqin?"

"My cousin, Wen Ruo, Wen Xiangqin's second uncle's adopted son, you should have seen his movies." Wen Ti thought to herself, let Wen Xiangqin become an actor?That scene is no less than letting humans watch King Kong perform ballet.

Chu Xingmu searched in his limited memory of watching movies, but he had never heard of Wen Ruo, Wen Ti mentioned the names of characters in several movies, and Chu Xingmu remembered that he had indeed watched it, but he had never heard of it. He has paid attention to actors, let alone the entertainment industry. He even gets the news through radio and newspaper channels.

Comrade Chu Xingmu has seriously derailed from the Internet world.

"What is your intention of saying this?" Chu Xingmu asked.

Wen Ti said: "I don't know, you can take this as a conflict between them, maybe you can use it in the future." Know.

Even if Wen Ti knew about it, he would not tell Chu Xingmu directly. He thought that someone was preparing for a plan, and he was also a part of the plan. He was determining the location and time of his appearance.
