riddle

Han Nuoshang guarded Gu Ci all night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep lying on the side of the hospital bed. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day.

He looked up at Gu Ci who was still awake, got up and stood aside, reached out and poured himself a glass of water.

I wanted to wake myself up...

From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see Gu Ci's fingers moving, and the pouring action stopped suddenly, and he looked up in a daze.

Gu Ci just opened his mouth but didn't open his eyes. Han Nuoshang leaned over and vaguely heard the words in his mouth: "...Qinzi!"

Han Nuoshang suddenly remembered the voice on Gu Ci's phone last night, no wonder he felt familiar.

That girl is a child from Gu Ci's orphanage. When Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci went there, she talked to her before. She is a very outgoing and cheerful girl.

Han Nuoshang took Gu Ci's cell phone and found Jin Zihe's number, and called her directly.

As soon as the phone was connected, before Han Nuoshang had time to speak, Jin Zihe's voice came over in a hurry: "Xiao Gu, have you found Xiao Zi?"

"Teacher Jin, it's me—Han Nuoshang." Han Nuoshang said, "Gu Ci had a car accident, and he hasn't recovered yet, can you tell me—what happened?"

"I don't know either!" Jin Zihe's voice seemed to have a hint of crying, "Xiao Zi suddenly disappeared yesterday. I searched for her in the yard for a long time, but I couldn't find her, so she just disappeared... Later, I I found a letter in my room."

"Letter? What letter?"

"The letter paper is no different from ordinary letter paper, but the words on it are typed out. It says on the letter paper—this is between him and Xiao Gu, please let me not interfere." Jin Zihe paused, as if rubbed He burst into tears, "He said that if you don't want something to happen to Xiao Zi, don't notify anyone..."

Han Nuoshang frowned: "Is that letter still with you?"

Jin Zihe: "Yes, yes."

Han Nuoshang: "Someone will come over and take notes for you later, please explain clearly to them."

"Okay, I understand."

Han Nuoshang sent a message to the people in the criminal investigation team, asking them to take him to the orphanage, and when he looked up again, his eyes lit up instantly.

Gu Ci had already opened his eyes and looked towards him, but Han Nuoshang clearly felt that his emotions were not right.

"what happened to you?"

Gu Ci didn't speak, and cast his eyes on the ceiling faintly, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Gu Ci, don't scare me..." Han Nuoshang rubbed his hand on his face, "Can you answer me?"

Being so silent, he was so shocked that his heart was about to hang...

After a long time, Gu Ci finally sighed and said, "Am I...shouldn't approach them?"

Han Nuoshang froze for a moment: "What are you talking about?"

"Mom and Dad are dead, Xiaoqing is dead, Huang Zhe's mother is also dead..." Gu Ci closed his eyes weakly, but there was a sneer on his lips, "There is almost no one who stays by my side It ended well."

Han Nuoshang looked at him in astonishment, his heart sank and his face turned cold, waiting for what he would say next.

"Han team, in fact, you are the same, you shouldn't be so close to me."

……really……

Han Nuoshang's face also darkened: "So? What do you mean?"

Gu Ci: "It's still too late to get away..."

"Impossible." Han Nuoshang abruptly interrupted his words, "Gu Ci, I told you, there is no way I will separate from you because of this."

This time it was Gu Ci who was taken aback, and raised his head to look at him.

"It's the second time." Han Nuoshang closed his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed holding his head in his hands. "This is the second time I've seen you poured out in front of me covered in blood. How does it feel? I have never been so broken in my life..."

"Team Han..." Gu Ci opened his eyes, what should he say now?He doesn't know either.

"I know you've suffered too much, and I know you're not feeling well, but you have to understand that none of this is your fault."

"The Korean team..."

"You asked me to leave?" Han Nuoshang laughed, leaned towards him suddenly, and met his gaze, "You want to get rid of me, and then gamble with your life alone, don't you?"

Gu Ci's heart trembled slightly, and he just looked at him silently, unable to say anything.

"Gu Ci, what the hell do you think of me?" Han Nuoshang sighed, and stretched out his palm to cover Gu Ci's eyes, "A plaything that comes and goes when you call it?"

"I'm not..." The light in front of Gu Ci's eyes was blocked, and he subconsciously wanted to refute.

"I know what you're afraid of, you're afraid that something will happen to me, right!" Han Nuoshang's voice could not help but carry a hint of bitterness, "But have you ever thought about it, I am also afraid of seeing you in trouble, Gu Ci! You Think about how I feel too."

"……Feel sorry."

"I just came out of the shadow of your injuries, and today you want me to leave you." Han Nuoshang withdrew his hands, and looked at him with bent eyes, "How can you be so cruel to me?"

"I... I'm sorry, I thought..." Gu Cishun shut up and didn't say any more.

"Why?" Han Nuoshang's eyes were clear, as if he had guessed his thoughts, "I thought I didn't care about you that much, I thought I could get away from this relationship at any time, I thought you were not that important... Is it right?"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes. It is undeniable that Han Nuoshang did express his thoughts, which was also the deepest haze in his heart.

"Or you thought we would be together from the beginning, just because I felt guilty for you." Han Nuoshang paused, rubbing his eyes, "I don't know why you feel this way, but Gu Ci , I really like you, I haven't seriously wanted to have a relationship with someone for a long time, if you just abandon me like this, what should I do."

Gu Ci looked up at him, regretting what he said just now.

Now if his body allows, he will definitely hold his hand, but unfortunately his hand is not able to lift it yet, so he can only repeat dryly: "I'm sorry!"

"Don't worry about Qinzi." Han Nuoshang sighed, "You are not alone, you have me and everyone in the criminal investigation team, we will help you."

"Ok!"

"Don't scare me like this anymore. My mental endurance is not as strong as you imagined. Try not to hurt yourself again, okay?"

"it is good!"

There was a hint of a smile in Gu Ci's eyes - well, I'll listen to you.

"It will be your birthday in two days." Han Nuoshang rubbed the corners of his eyes lightly, "I planned to hold a birthday party for you, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible now."

Gu Ci: "It's okay, I haven't had a birthday before, it's the same."

"It's different." Han Nuoshang said, "You used to be alone, but now you have me, and I will spend every birthday with you every year from now on."

"Um!"

Chu Han and Song Zhiyue brought people to the orphanage, and Jin Zihe was waiting for them outside, and when he saw them, he hurried up to greet them.

"Are the two colleagues of Captain Han?"

Chu Han and the two nodded.

Jin Zihe immediately smiled, and handed the letter to the two of them: "This is the letter I received yesterday, take a look."

Chu Han put the letter into the evidence bag and put it away.

"Xiao Zi disappeared yesterday afternoon. There are too many children in the orphanage, and we didn't notice much..." Jin Zihe pinched himself a little annoyed, "If I could find out earlier, wouldn't it be This is it."

Chu Han said: "If you found out that she was missing earlier, she still couldn't come back, it's the same result; unless you can make her not disappear in the first place..."

His original intention was to comfort her, but Chu Han seemed to have misunderstood the word "comfort", and Jin Zihe seemed to be even more annoyed when he said it.

Song Zhiyue quickly covered his mouth, and smiled at Jin Zihe: "Don't mind, he didn't mean that."

"It's okay, this is my negligence!" Jin Zihe quickly waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, then seemed to remember something, and asked, "Where is Xiao Gu, how is he now?"

When Gu Ci was mentioned, Song Zhiyue's mood also sank, and she let go of the hand covering Chu Han.

"The situation is not very good." Chu Han said, "The captain has been watching him in the hospital."

"Then he needs to get better soon!" Jin Zihe shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Gu is such a good person, how come there are always so many people who don't want him to get better!"

After the two listened to her words, they were depressed again, and the three of them walked towards the monitoring room in silence.

The security guard brought out yesterday's surveillance, through which several people saw the whole process of Qinzi's disappearance.

At around twelve o'clock in the noon, Qin Zi was playing a game with her little friend, but she seemed to remember something suddenly, and stopped her playful expression.

She stood up, said something to her little friend, then turned around and walked towards the lawn. She turned a corner and disappeared from the surveillance, and never appeared again.

Chu Han frowned, copied the surveillance camera, and saved it to the tablet.

Song Zhiyue pointed to Qinzi's playmates in the surveillance: "We want to meet these children and have a chat with them."

Jin Zihe nodded: "Okay, I'll find them right away."

The children were arranged in a small room. They were a little shy when they saw Chu Han, but they seemed to be very interested in them.

"Hello, kids!" Song Zhiyue showed a big smile to the children, looking very gentle.

Perhaps infected by her gentleness, several children also laughed and surrounded her one after another.

Song Zhiyue: "My brother and sister want to ask you something, please answer us obediently, okay?"

One of the children blinked his big innocent eyes: "Is it about Xiao Zi?"

Song Zhiyue glanced at him in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Everyone in the courtyard said that Xiao Zi was missing, and we haven't seen her for a long time, and nothing like this has happened before, so I guess you are here to find her."

"It's so smart." Song Zhiyue rubbed his head, "Xiao Zi may fall into the wrong hands now, we all want to rescue her, so we need your help, are you willing to help?"

"Of course I am willing." The children nodded emphatically, "Xiao Zi is our good friend, and we hope she will be well."

Chu Han also squatted down at this time, looked at the children, and went straight to the point: "Okay, then, do you still remember that when I was playing with Xiao Zi yesterday at noon, she suddenly left?"

Several children nodded.

"What did she say to you before she left?" Song Zhiyue still remembered that Qin Zi in the surveillance had spoken to several children before she walked into the lawn.

"She said... to help."

"Help?" Song Zhiyue and Chu Han looked at each other, and hurriedly asked, "What help?"

"Xiao Zi is very enthusiastic. She often helps the teachers with some work in the orphanage, saying it is to lighten their burden." The child frowned, as if recalling something, "Yesterday, she seemed to say yes Go to the lawn and help clean up the weeds."

Pick up the weeds?But when Qin Zi reached the edge of the lawn, she didn't go in, but turned a corner and left.

"We got it! Thank you for your cooperation." Song Zhiyue gave each of them a candy. "This is a reward for you. We will definitely find a way to rescue Xiao Zi."

Several children took the candy, smiled and walked out hand in hand, no one noticed the little girl who fell to the end, looked back at Song Zhiyue and Chu Han a few times, her eyes were somewhat obscure.

Song Zhiyue distributed all her food reserves to the children, and looked at Chu Han eagerly.

Chu Han spread his hands towards her, and said helplessly, "You know that I never go out with snacks."

"Hmph!" Song Zhiyue curled her lips, turned around and sat on a chair beside her, "What they said...what do you think?"

Chu Han: "If what those children said is true, the people in this orphanage will be very suspicious."

"The children said that she was going to help clean the lawn, so it would be very abnormal to turn there at that time, and she turned into a dead corner of the surveillance." Song Zhiyue recalled the surveillance before Qinzi disappeared." It felt like someone was operating it."

Chu Han: "Could it be that someone called her over there?"

Song Zhiyue raised her head and glanced at Chu Han, then took out the tablet and clicked on the monitor again.

"Look!" Song Zhi paused the surveillance, and pointed to the screen inside, "Qinzi was about to walk into the lawn at this time, but her head turned to the other side."

Chu Han leaned over and took a look: "She must have heard something, and then turned her head to look over. It is very likely that there was a person standing over there calling her at that time."

That person was looking at her there, and called her over, but Xiao Qinzi really walked over without any precautions...

Song Zhiyue: "If she can just walk over like this, it must be someone she is more familiar with."

"It's very likely that they are people from the orphanage, and the employees are the most likely." Chu Han frowned, and said, "Find a personnel profile of the orphanage first, and then go back to the bureau to talk about it."

After all, they are not professional, it is better to let Ying Hongxue analyze people's psychological state, they don't have that ability.

The two asked Jin Zihe to bring a document of the orphanage staff, and after taking the document, they got into the car and prepared to leave.

Song Zhiyue was sitting on the co-pilot with the materials spread out on her feet. From the corner of her eye, she saw a little girl lying on the door of the orphanage and looking at them. She was one of the children they were questioning just now, and she was also walking at the back of everyone. the girl.

Chu Han stepped on the accelerator and left, Song Zhiyue didn't have time to say anything, so she had to smile at her at the end.

The little girl looked a little depressed as she watched the car of the two of them drifting away.

"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?" Jin Zihe walked over and stroked her hair.

Qin Ling raised her head to look at Jin Zihe, pursed her lips, and said, "Teacher, is sister okay?"

Qinling is Qinzi's younger sister, but her personality is completely opposite to Qinzi's. Qinling is very introverted and never likes to talk to others.

Jin Zihe: "Don't worry! She will be fine."

"En!" Qin Ling nodded, grabbed her hands, and turned to leave.

In the car, Song Zhiyue saw Gu Ci's name as soon as she opened the file, but there was no photo.

"The deputy team is actually the director of this orphanage." Song Zhiyue opened her mouth, "Isn't it really the same name?"

Then I read the information from beginning to end again, and confirmed that it was Gu Ci's identity information, and my understanding of Gu Ci was refreshed again.

"The captain means that the deputy team went to the south of the city because of that girl." Chu Han frowned, "Do you still remember the two fingerprints we found in the monitoring room of the Oceanographic Museum?"

"You mean..."

"When the deputy team came to the orphanage to visit those children, they definitely didn't pay attention to leaving fingerprints or not." Chu Han paused, "Qin Zi disappeared in the orphanage, and the deputy team's fingerprints are likely obtained here."

"But that man, why did he do that?"

Chu Han shook his head: "And that cell phone number, where did he get it? What does it have to do with Qi Zhao who is already in prison."

Song Zhiyue thought for a moment: "Qi Zhao, if I remember correctly, it will take another two months for him to go to court!"

"Well, he certainly won't escape the death penalty anyway."

"Tell me... can we get some more questions from Qi Zhao's mouth?"

Chu Han shook his head: "He is too strict, and he is unwilling to reveal the person who is helping him behind the scenes. We have interrogated many times to no avail."

Song Zhiyue frowned, and flipped through the stack of documents in her hand, hoping that there could be some clues for everyone to find out.

When the two returned to the Municipal Bureau, they met Liu Lei who was standing at the gate of the Municipal Bureau.

Chu Han: "Mr. Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Lei smiled back: "Of course I came here to cooperate with the investigation."
