Monster 1

The body of the missing child was found at the construction site in the middle of the night. The scene was cordoned off and the surrounding videos were retrieved. The entire police station was extremely busy.

At one o'clock in the morning, all members of the investigation team were sitting in the brightly lit office, looking at the street videos around the construction site with tired faces.

"This construction site has three gates, east, west, and north. The surveillance at the north gate was broken before the construction site was blocked, and there has been no maintenance since then. The prisoner should have come in through the north gate." Fu Siqi pointed out the surveillance on the road outside the north gate. The video was tuned out: "This side is next to the old city, and the road monitoring equipment is not complete. Only a street light at the corner of this road is monitored, and it is unilaterally monitored, and the dead angle is extremely large."

The camera has been used for quite a long time, and the pictures captured are covered with small snowflakes, which makes people feel like watching a ghost movie in the 80s and [-]s.

Since two o'clock in the afternoon, there have been few pedestrians on that road, and there is no record of large vehicles passing by.

After speeding up the video playback, at [-]:[-] in the evening, a man in black and a large sun hat dragged a woven bag and walked unsteadily under the street lamp.

His figure looked very tired. After sitting down by the street lamp, the man sat there smoking a small half pack of cigarettes, and he raised his head and threw the cigarette butts everywhere.Pedestrians passing by saw his appearance of being neither human nor ghost, and they all avoided him in fear—for fear that this lunatic would suddenly jump up and bite him.

The man sat under the street lamp for a long time, but from the beginning to the end, the surveillance did not capture his face.

Half an hour later, the man stood up, but this time he didn't drag the woven bag like before, but gently hugged the woven bag into his arms with one hand, like the most ordinary person in the world. Like a father holding his child.

Although the man's expression cannot be seen, it can be seen from his cautious movements that the man should love the little guy in his arms at this time.

"It's crazy."

Hearing that Fu Siqi said the same conclusion as he didn't say, Lu Yunxi glanced at him while drinking coffee, and answered angrily: "Who said otherwise?"

"The prisoner knew that the surveillance at the north gate was broken, and he also knew how to avoid the surveillance cameras. Regardless of why he brought the girl's body to this construction site, he sat under a street lamp and did this. The series of actions is more like trying to show us something, of course, it may just be pure provocation."

"He didn't kill the girl in the first place. Is there a possibility?" Lu Yunli was silent for a while, and put forward a hypothesis: "He is waiting for someone to stop him, whether it is a passing pedestrian, or a surveillance camera. The person in charge, if someone goes up to ask him a question, will he stop?"

"I don't think it's possible." Qiu Mingyuan shook his head: "Judging from the traces of abuse on the girl's body, even if he stopped at that time, the possibility of her surviving is extremely low."

"Extremely low is not impossible. Speaking of which, Bai Qiu, I asked you to check the house in Chapulian Town. How did you find it?"

"I checked. The owner of that house moved out in September last year. Before he left, he worked in a public elementary school in Puliang Town." Bai Qiu took out a folder with a yellow sticky note on it and handed it to Lu Yunlin: "Say It is a public elementary school. In fact, the school qualification certificate was revoked by the Municipal Education Bureau earlier. However, because there are many migrant workers living in Puliang Town, that elementary school has been open, and many people go to school there. They are the children of these migrant workers."

"Does it count if you go to an elementary school without a qualification certificate?"

At first glance, he has been single for many years and has no common sense in this area. Qiu Mingyuan explained to Lu Yunli with a good temper: "The tuition and miscellaneous fees of elementary schools in the urban area are around 2 yuan a year, but for this kind of elementary school, maybe three yuan a year. Four thousand is enough. And most of the people who come here with their parents like this have no one at home to take care of them. They can keep up with the courses here, and when they are old, they can go back to their hometown and ask for a school status certificate to continue schooling. .”

"The teachers who teach here are not paid by the government, but by the students themselves? Not much, right?"

"Correct."

Lu Yunxi took out the second page of paper from the folder and laid it flat on the table: "Zhang Jianguo, 35 years old, graduated from Beicheng Normal University with a major in Chinese Language and Literature. He had excellent grades in college and won many national scholarships. Just graduated and was admitted as a language teacher in Beicheng No. 12 Middle School—I think everyone knows that this school is the number one scholar in Beicheng every year. They quit after working for a few years and have a daughter who should be [-] years old now. "

"It's not easy to raise a child, and the expenses in all aspects are huge. Under such circumstances, why did he resign and bring his daughter to this small school to teach? Do you want to generate electricity for love?"

"And since he moved out in September last year, where exactly has he been and what has he been doing?"

Fu Siqi suddenly interrupted Lu Yunlin's words: "Captain Lu, what's the name of Zhang Jianguo's daughter?"

"Let me see, Zhang Qi."

"She was in the student list for the summer camp last July."

"It seems that the person in charge of the Children's Palace has played Tai Chi with us wholeheartedly." Lu Yunli threw the information booklet in his hand on the table: "Okay, let's stop here today, let's all take a little rest, Tomorrow, go and have a good chat with this group of lovely citizens who don’t know about it.”

When it comes to rest, it's almost two o'clock in the morning. A few elders have left the cubicle for rest in the office to Bai Qiu, and he is sleeping on the work chair as usual with a small blanket and a U-shaped pillow. superior.

At three o'clock in the morning, the office was quiet. Lu Yunli tossed and turned several times but couldn't fall asleep, so he took a pack of cigarettes and slipped outside to the rooftop.

The humidity outside is very heavy, and after a long time, a thin layer of water droplets will condense on the face. Lu Yunli leaned against the wall with the U-shaped pillow on his shoulders, looking at the dark city, cigarette butts The ignited faint light became the only warm color around.

This city has carried the dreams of countless people and buried countless people at the same time.

Lu Yunli stretched out his hand to touch his chest—it was enough to feel the beating of his heart.

The next day when Lu Yunli was about to drive out with a huge dark circle under his eyes, he was slapped on the forehead by Gu Ju who was passing by, leaving a bright red handprint.

"Hey, my Gu Ju, you can't start lightly. If you shoot like this again, I will pass out and count as a work-related injury."

Lu Yunli has a little time to sleep, and once it passes that point, he can't fall asleep at all.So one night, he fell asleep in a daze for 10 to [-] minutes. When he got up in the morning, he found something to do with his stomach, and poured two large cups of espresso—is there any use for farts, and now his head is still dinging Let's start a party.

It doesn't work if you don't get dizzy.

"If you are a policeman, you can't look like a policeman. What are you doing? Fatigue driving is illegal?"

"No matter who our team is pulling out to drive now, it's considered fatigue driving. I have experience anyway, and nothing will happen."

"Shut up and talk to me!" Gu Ju scolded him as he led him to a deserted corner, and lowered his voice, "There's someone standing outside, you can be his car."

"Did you help me find a driver?"

Gu Ju really wanted to slap Lu Yunxi as soon as he heard what he said, and finally held down his hand that wanted to mess around, and then continued: "Who? I heard that you committed a crime yesterday and arrested him in the police station gone."

"Xie Zhi'an?" Lu Yunli frowned: "What is he doing here? It's not his turn to intervene in this matter."

"First, the relationship between Xie's family, it is easy to insert someone into our small situation; second, this young master said that he was a volunteer in the Children's Palace last year, so he knows some inside information; third..." said At this point, Gu Ju rolled up his upper eyelids at a very slow speed, made a very standard white eye, and sincerely sent it to Lu Yunlin: "You didn't provoke it yourself."

"Why did I provoke him..."

"What did I hear... The second young master of the Lu family has a close relationship with the young master Xie, and if they enter the arena together, isn't that considered a provocation? Let me tell you, Lu Yunxi, I can tell what you're thinking at a glance, but this Xie Yan, please don't provoke me, it's not certain who will be involved." Gu Ju reached out and tapped Lu Yunzhi's shoulder, and said word by word: "You think it through before you do things."

Because he stayed up all night, Lu Yunli's eyes were a little red. After hearing Gu Ju's words, he slowly smiled at the corner of his mouth, shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, turned and walked out of the police station.

Xie Zhian was wearing an extremely ordinary black down jacket today, and his fluffy dark brown curly hair stayed on his head well-behaved but not very docilely. It looked a little fluffy, very much like the Alaska of Lu Yunli's family when he was a child.

He was driving a silver-gray SUV with an ordinary and rigid appearance, and he just stayed in the car. People who didn't know it thought that he stopped at the gate of the police station to flout the law and discipline to ask for a fine.

"Why did you come to pick me up? Repay me for being your driver for a night yesterday?"

"Lu Yunli." Xie Zhian turned his head to look at Lu Yunli seriously, and said with some obvious personal emotions in his tone: "Can you be more serious?"

Yo huh?The last one who said this to Lu Yunji, the grass on the grave may be three meters long.

But the opposite is Young Master Xie, it's not the character that Lu Yunli dares to put grass on the grave, so naturally he can only put away the expression on his face, get in the car and sit safely.

After seeing Lu Yunli got into the car, he just sat there without saying a word, with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

Xie Zhi'an pursed his lips, and after driving for a while, when he was waiting for the traffic lights, he turned his head and said to Lu Yunli in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it was me just now..."

'call--'

Xie Zhi'an's hands holding the steering wheel had bruised veins, seeing that posture, he seemed to want to throw out the sleepy pig in the co-pilot!

Seeing Lu Yunlin's calm face in his sleep, Xie Zhian sighed, and started the car when the green light turned on.
