monologue

Leaving the photography studio, Lang Lang took out the photos, walked with Xia Ci and said, "I happened to meet Xizheng, I just happened to make an appointment with my friends to go shopping that day, and I just happened to see Meng Yue, isn't it just too many of Chen Huiru's pictures?" ?”

Xia Ci walked ahead with his hands in his pockets, turned to Lang Lang and said, "Of course I don't believe hers are just right."

Lang Lang took the photo and looked at it again, "The difference between the photos taken by the mobile phone and the camera can be seen at a glance."

Xia Ci nodded, the photo Chen Huiru gave was not taken by a mobile phone at all.

"Maybe only Meng Yue's family members don't know anything now." Lang Lang put the photo in his bag and got into the car with Xia Ci.

Besides these two people, there was another person they hadn't met yet, the clerk at the ice drink shop on Jingbadong Road, the one who said he had seen Meng Yue.

After discussing with He Zongquan, Chu Xingmu and He Zongquan went to the Chang'an branch, because Chu Xingmu proposed to read the files of several old cases in Chang'an District. Although He Zongquan retired, he still has the right to speak in the branch. After all, he is an old comrade. In terms of demand, the branch will still try to meet it. Even if the people in the Chang'an branch don't want to see Chu Xingmu, at least they will try their best to meet Chu Xingmu's request for the sake of He Zongquan. Remember.

After consulting the director of the branch bureau, He Zongquan, Chu Xingmu, and Wen Ti went to the archives room of the branch bureau under the leadership of the archivist. There are two archives rooms, and the innermost ones are filled with old case files from more than ten years ago. Wang Yuemin The case files investigated and handled during the captaincy were all stored in the innermost part. Since these old files were piled up all year round, the administrators only cleaned them regularly for general sanitation. When the door of the file room was opened, they could smell the pungent smell of dust and ink. .

Wen Ti took a handkerchief from her pocket and covered her mouth. Looking at the backs of Chu Xingmu and He Zongquan who had already walked in, she stood hesitantly at the door. The air inside was not good. He probably went in and turned around. The ashes can fall into one layer, Wen Ti agreed to come with Chu Xingmu, but did not agree to find the file, after thinking twice, Wen Ti took a step back and decided to stand outside and wait for them.

Chu Xingmu, who had already gone in, saw that Wen Ti hadn't followed him. Looking back, he was still standing outside the door. Chu Xingmu was wearing a coat when he went out. He looked down at his coat and then at it again. Wen Ti wore a neat suit, so she took off her coat and went out.

"I can just wait outside." Wen Ti said with a smile.

Chu Xingmu shook off his coat, draped it over Wen Ti's body, and said, "Don't challenge my bottom line, this is the last time, otherwise, go back where you came from."

Wen Ti stared at Chu Xingmu. Chu Xingmu had already turned around and walked into the file room. When he walked to He Zongquan's side, he found that Wen Ti hadn't followed him. He turned around and looked at the door. Hanging on the doorknob, dust was flying between the two rows of iron racks for storing files, but the door was empty, there was no figure, and the light outside the door was no longer blocked, and it all hit Chu Xingmu's body, his shadow was under his feet curl up.

He Zongquan asked: "What's wrong?"

Chu Xingmu turned back and said, "It's nothing, thanks for your hard work."

Half an hour later, Chu Xingmu and He Zongquan came out of the file room. Chu Xingmu put on his coat, and He Zongquan asked him, "Where is that little comrade?"

Chu Xingmu said: "The kid lost his temper, who knows where he went."

He Zongquan said: "That little comrade is more careful than you, and he doesn't look like he gets angry easily."

Chu Xingmu said: "I'm not angry, I hold grudges very much."

He Zongquan didn't say anything more, patted Chu Xingmu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I can't help you later, I can't do much as a retired veteran cadre, but I don't think Captain Wang is that kind of person. "

Chu Xingmu said with a smile: "I have to investigate any clues. Mayor Duan has issued a death order. Uncle He, I would like to ask you to help me. Take care of Guan Zhen during this time. It is not convenient for me to run back and forth. "

He Zongquan nodded and said, "OK."

The two went downstairs, and they had to go through the office hall if they wanted to go out. Chu Xingmu pushed the door open from the inside and saw that the office hall was full of people, all of whom were comrades from the branch bureau. Chu Xingmu and He Zongquan felt strange that at this time Why are they all here?Chu Xingmu walked towards the crowd, he saw Wen Ti talking to those people, everyone seemed to be chatting happily, Chu Xingmu thought he was gone.

"What are you talking about so happily?" Chu Xingmu walked over and asked.

When other comrades saw Chu Xingmu coming over, they gave him an aisle. A young comrade who was close to Wen Ti smiled and said, "This little comrade said that he can guess what we are thinking, and everyone does not believe in evil."

With a slight smile on her face, Wen Ti stood up from her seat and said, "Captain Chu is very anxious now, so I won't trouble him."

The other comrades laughed loudly when they heard it, and Chu Xingmu felt a sense of bewilderment for the first time.

"Okay, see you next time, our captain is done, I have to go back with him." Wen Ti straightened her suit and walked in front of Chu Xingmu, and those comrades dispersed with unsatisfied intentions.

Chu Xingmu asked: "What are you doing?"

"Help everyone solve their psychological problems, similar to a psychological counselor." Wen Ti nodded slightly to He Zongquan.

Then Wen Ti walked out of the office hall first, and Chu Xingmu also went out after thanking He Zongquan.

Wen Ti stood outside the car waiting for Chu Xingmu, and Chu Xingmu asked him, "Didn't you leave?"

"I didn't drive, and it was too expensive to take a taxi." In short, the unilateral exodus failed.

Chu Xingmu: "..."

Is Wen Ti someone who lacks taxi money?

Chu Xingmu opened the car door, Wen Ti sat in, Chu Xingmu said, "What did you tell them?"

"It's just a few psychological problems. Maybe I said it too bluntly, or they seldom hear someone who can tell exactly what they did the day before. They think it's amazing. Most people are just watching."

Chu Xingmu didn't know what to say, who would use his courage to play psychological tactics with a group of policemen?Still think they feel amazing?

"I think you look like a swindler." Chu Xingmu said.

"Have you been lied to by me?" Wen Ti asked jokingly.

"Just you? You're still a little tender."

"It's almost four o'clock now, and I'm already drinking afternoon tea at this time." Wen Ti said as she turned off her phone.

"You had plenty of time to drink afternoon tea." Chu Xingmu said, thinking that the general manager of Wen's Group was inappropriate, but he wanted to take a post at the Public Security Bureau.

Wen Ti didn't want to get entangled with Chu Xingmu, he said: "Wang Yuemin, the current deputy director of the Xinyue Branch."

Chu Xingmu suddenly looked at Wen Ti in surprise, and Wen Ti said: "Before you came, I talked to Mr. He. Guan Lingling's mother later became mentally ill. I chatted with Guan Zhen in the ward. He talked about Some previous incidents, including Wang Yuemin, the criminal investigation captain of the Chang'an branch."

"What did he say?"

"Wang Yuemin's attitude and behavior after his wife became mentally ill seemed like he was covering up something, because Guan Lingling's mother approached Wang Yuemin many times, Mr. He mentioned kidnapping and murder more than once, do you think this is a coincidence ?He came into contact with this case earlier than us and knew the situation better, but he was unwilling to tell us the truth, he kept hinting at us, and he was also suspicious." Wen Ti looked at Chu Xingmu and said, Chu Xingmu looked at the road ahead without squinting, probably thinking that Wen Ti's observation ability is so keen.

Wen Ti didn't care about Chu Xingmu's reaction, he continued: "Even after 15 years, Mr. He still hasn't dispelled the suspicion of kidnapping and murder. It is not ruled out that he wants to give us a reference. I think he has It has been investigated privately, and it is absolutely impossible for Guan Lingling to be taken away by human traffickers, combined with the geographical and social environment factors of Anning Road, it may be their acquaintance who took Guan Lingling away."

Speaking of this, Wen Ti's meaning is very clear. He thinks that Guan Lingling's disappearance is also caused by acquaintances.

Chu Xingmu didn't express any opinion on Wen Ti's conclusion. Wen Ti seemed to want to tell everything he knew. Before Chu Xingmu could question him, he said, "Guan Lingling was taken away by a man. Why? Didn't that old woman stop him in time? People at that time were not as cold and selfish as they are now, and Guan Lingling was especially loved by them, one possibility is that the old woman knew the person who took Guan Lingling away or the old woman was threatened."

"Wait, I can barely agree with the previous one, but the witnesses here, you completely deny it." Chu Xingmu interrupted Wen Ti, "If she knew the person who took Guan Lingling away, why would she lie to the police?"

"I don't know." Wen Ti said frankly.

Chu Xingmu looked at him for more than ten seconds, then stepped on the accelerator and drove past the traffic lights. I don't know what you said so swearingly?Fortunately, I still listened so seriously!

About an hour later, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti returned to the city bureau, Lang Lang and Xia Ci also finished their inquiry work, and returned to the bureau before Bai Yao and Zhao Chen.

Chu Xingmu looked at several cases that Wang Yuemin had previously investigated in the archives of the sub-bureau. Although the investigative technology was limited more than ten years ago, many places on the files were very vague, such as the motive of committing the crime, the perpetrator, Chu Xingmu didn't have that much authority and courage to question the sub-bureau deputy director's ability to handle cases, but what he saw from the file had to make him pay attention to it.

When they went to the Anning Road Police Station to look up the address of Guan Lingling’s former neighbors, Chu Xingmu learned that the Anning Road Police Station was the first to receive the report, but one day the branch sent someone to inquire about the progress of the case. The old comrade thought that Guan Lingling's parents had gone to the police station to report the crime again, which attracted the police's attention, but that day he heard from the old senior at the police station that in the few days after Guan Lingling's disappearance, her parents had only reported the case at the Anning Road police station. How did you know that a five-year-old girl was missing?And invested almost the entire police force of the branch to find this missing little girl?

He Zongquan repeatedly emphasized the police force they spent on this case back then, and it was a setback for every policeman who handled the case, but he said that so many years have passed, and now he still remembers Guan Zhen, Guan Lingling's father, and him are the only ones involved in this case. Although every policeman will have an unfinished old case in his police career, the missing girl case was a sensation at the time, and Chu Xingmu and others The seniors who had investigated this case had talked with them, and only He Zongquan was very concerned about this case.

Wen Ti was right about one point. He Zongquan never dispelled the idea that Guan Lingling was kidnapped. Did He Zongquan know something but it was inconvenient to reveal it to Chu Xingmu?

Guan Lingling disappeared 15 years ago when Wang Yuemin was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau in Chang'an Branch, and Meng Yue disappeared 15 years later when Wang Yuemin was the deputy director of the Xinyue Branch Bureau. Is this just a coincidence?

"Boss, we have already confirmed the monitoring. The Xinyue branch said that there is no problem with the monitoring, and they have not dealt with anyone." Qi Shaocheng said after seeing Chu Xingmu coming in from the door.

"No problem at all? Who said that?" Chu Xingmu asked.

"The administrator of the monitoring center."

Wen Ti went to see the kitten when she entered the office, and the kitten was lying on its stomach in its nest again, sleeping soundly.

"Has anyone else entered the monitoring room besides the administrator?"

"No, there are three administrators in the monitoring room of the monitoring center. They testify against each other. I think the credibility is very high." But Qi Shaocheng still couldn't figure out why the photos and surveillance videos were inconsistent.

Chu Xingmu approached Qin Wan, and Qin Wan already said that there is nothing wrong with the photo, and it is not difficult to modify a surveillance video, but now Chu Xingmu wants to know who is the person who granted the "modification" of the surveillance video?

City monitoring will be uploaded to the municipal monitoring center in the end. It is very difficult to modify and retrieve the monitoring from the public security network monitoring department. Before being monitored, certain permissions are required, and not everyone can view and monitor at will.

At this point, Chu Xingmu had no choice but to report the situation to Li Yaomin. He suspected that Wang Yuemin had something to do with the modification of the surveillance video.

Lang Lang handed a photo to Chu Xingmu and said, "This is found in Chen Huiru's photography studio. This photo can prove that Chen Huiru took Meng Yue to meet Shan Weiya and Xizheng."

Chu Xingmu held the photo in his hand, looked at the six people in the photo and frowned. The first four were Chen Huiru, Shan Weiya, Meng Yue, and Xizheng. They should be in an independent restaurant. There are two people behind the person who are not facing the camera. One of them, Chu Xingmu, who stands beside him looks very familiar, while the other man, who is sitting on the sofa with his back to the camera, makes Chu Xingmu's frown deepen.

Wen Ti has been observing Chu Xingmu's subtle expressions. He walked to Chu Xingmu and looked at the content on the photo. He knew everyone on it, Shan Weiya, Xizheng, Shang Ningyang, and... into the sea.

Jiang Guoan's body is now in the autopsy room. Han Yang is still doing the autopsy. The police have blocked the news of Jiang Guoan's death. Jiang Guoan's daughter Jiang Ying is also in the police station, but Chu Xingmu hasn't seen her yet. Xing Mu didn't want to move for now.

"Let Shan Weiya come to the Public Security Bureau." Chu Xingmu returned the photo to Lang Lang and asked her to put it away.

Xia Ci said: "Shan Weiya's agent has already rejected us twice, both times on the grounds that Shan Weiya is not in China."

After learning that Chen Huiru brought Meng Yue and Shan Weiya to dinner, Chu Xingmu asked someone to contact Shan Weiya herself. At that time, her agent said that Shan Weiya was filming a program abroad, but later Zhao Chen and Qi Shaocheng were in the restaurant. Seeing Shan Weiya and Xizheng appearing together, Chu Xingmu only said that Shan Weiya should be monitored and did not force her to come.

After Xia Ci and Lang Lang left the studio, they contacted Shan Weiya's agent again, but the other party rejected their request on the grounds that she was not in the country. She had appeared in the sight of the police not long ago, so she took the initiative to contact her. Sometimes it is said that the person is not there.

"I don't care if she is in the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere. I want to see someone before dark today, find out Shan Weiya's address, and dig three feet to find her!" Chu Xingmu said while knocking on the table. Hearing Chu Xingmu's tough tone, the seriousness of the situation far exceeded their expectations.

Chu Xingmu began to agree with Wen Ti's point of view, whether it was Meng Yue's disappearance or Guan Lingling's disappearance, whether it was 15 years ago or 15 years later, the connection between the two cases was far more profound than what they found, but There is no definite evidence to confirm this conjecture. The disappearance of Meng Yue is the main point. The starting point of these evidences are these celebrities who are well paid, glamorous, exposed to the public, and have a huge number of fans and the power to guide public opinion. , and the backs of the people who connected them together have gradually become clear.
