today's island

More than half a year has passed since the Yan Ye arson case, and the accumulated historical materials are quite difficult to sort out. It took two full days before Wan Yi listed all the people involved in several cases, and went to confirm their names one by one. address book.

It is not too difficult to organize the list, but it is difficult to find the address books of some deceased persons. The older ones only have phone calls and WeChat, while the younger ones have accounts on phone, WeChat, Weibo, QQ, and even various forums. It is almost impossible to sort them out completely. possible.

Wan Yi and Su Xiaozhi were in charge of the old case, while Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo continued to track down the mysterious killer, but found nothing new.

"How many thugs did they raise? Could it be possible that they built a collective dormitory just for this?" Lu Yuanzhe recalled that the previous killers were obviously under centralized management. "Let's check directly if there is any rich family in the island Are there many security guards, drivers, and servants?"

"That should be in your district." Ding Chenyu joked, "Your people live there are rich."

"I drove around the community, but I've never seen a row of men in black standing in a house. The security in our community is so good that we don't really need personal bodyguards." Lu Yuanzhe would also like to thank the property owners in their community for being responsible, otherwise who would Knowing that the banquet will kill him at his house one day.

"I also want to buy a suite, please pay attention to me." Ding Chenyu chatted with him about the house price, "In a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford that piece of land."

"How is it possible..." Lu Yuanzhe gave him a sideways glance, Ding Chenyu would not be able to afford it if he couldn't afford it.

"New discovery." As soon as Wan Yi spoke, everyone immediately stopped playing and looked up at him.

"Director Jiang in the bombing case, Minister Hua in the research institute case, and Mr. Feng, the No. , is an empty number."

He hesitated to give out his mobile phone number, Cheng Mo immediately understood the look in his eyes, and continued his words: "It's the phone number my dad used to use."

Wan Yi printed out the summary of the deceased's identity and this page in the address book, and placed them on the table.

All three of them saved this number. Minister Hua wrote "Cheng Song" neatly, Director Jiang wrote "Mayor Cheng", and Mr. Feng wrote "Cheng".Among them, the first two people still have Mayor Cheng's current phone number, but there is no recent call record.

"The deaths in the second case were all young girls. We couldn't find this number. They couldn't possibly have saved the phone number of Mayor Cheng ten years ago." Wan Yi speculated, "Oh, by the way, this Feng Shurui used to be on the island. I used to be a civil servant, so maybe I saved the phone for related official business."

Everyone looked at Feng Shurui's resume. He did work as a grassroots civil servant in Daocheng for three years.

"The deceased in the second case, don't check them, check their parents." Lu Yuanzhe ordered, "Just check those who have worked in the government system."

"Let me see..." Wan Yi lowered his head and turned around, and finally locked on one of the family.

It was my mother's phone number, they called, and they connected quickly, and the other party said "Hello".

"We want to ask your husband something, is it convenient?" Wan Yi asked.

"My lover has already passed away." The other party replied, and the grief could no longer be heard in his voice, "Lung cancer was detected a long time ago."

Lu Yuanzhe remembered that it was the mother who came to claim the body. She didn't mention her husband's illness at the time, but it seemed that her mental state was indeed not very good.

After some inquiries, she found out the mobile phone left by her husband and sent Wan Yi a backup of the address book.

Inside was also Cheng Song's phone number from ten years ago, and now everyone looked at Cheng Mo, waiting for his reaction.

Cheng Mo didn't say anything, but shrugged his shoulders and glanced at everyone. He didn't worry too much, and he didn't make much defense: "It's fine to check my dad, and he shouldn't mind everyone checking, after all, many people have touched his Brain, we simply don't have enough for him to play."

"I know that three years ago, your father's political enemies wanted him to be blamed for corruption, but instead he was investigated for a circle of private life and wrote a self-criticism." Ding Chenyu is the most proficient in these gossips, "We have to think about it if we want to investigate. Are there any blemishes?"

"We have enough stains, otherwise we wouldn't be here." Lu Yuanzhe smiled, worrying that he would not have a chance to chat with this irresponsible father, "Is Mayor Cheng free today? I'll go to the meeting right away meet him."

"I'll go with you." Cheng Mo wanted to follow again.

"Then if we confront each other, which side do you stand on?" Lu Yuanzhe asked curiously.

"Stand by your side." Cheng Mo gave him a cheerful smile, "It's just useless."

"It's useful. My greatest wish is to hear you hate him." Lu Yuanzhe looked forward to it.

"When did you have such a big opinion on his father?" Su Xiaozhi asked curiously, and then glanced at him and Cheng Mo again, "You two...are you...in an ambiguous relationship? Is he your future...?"

Speaking of this, she was stuck, and she couldn't give someone a face-to-face attack.

"He is homophobic, discriminatory, and old-fashioned." Lu Yuanzhe replied naively, without further explanation.

"Oh~" Everyone believed it, and they all began to look forward to this inquiry.

·

He said that there was going to be a surprise attack, and that the police never picked the right time to handle the case, but in the end Lu Yuanzhe still made an appointment with Cheng Song through his secretary.

After sitting in the reception room and drinking Cheng Song's two cups of coffee to ensure that he would not fall asleep because of the continuous handling of the case, he complained about Cheng Song's coffee powder: "Your father is the mayor anyway, can't you drink it higher?"

"This thing is just for the guests to pass the time, it doesn't matter if it's good or not." Cheng Mo smiled, "His sleep quality is high, and his biological clock is unstoppable, so he doesn't need this thing at all."

"You just inherited the biological clock, but not the quality of sleep, did you?" He looked at Cheng Mo.

"Yeah." Cheng Mo raised the corners of his mouth and lowered his head, "My dad said that habits can be formed. As for the quality of sleep, it is an individual difference and cannot be forced."

"He didn't force you to go to bed and get up at the same time as him?" He asked, really feeling that Cheng Song was sickly strict.

"No." Cheng Mo shook his head, and looked at him wonderingly, "What kind of image does my father have in your heart? If he is a sadist, he can still come here?"

"Morality and political ability are not linked." He has always been at odds with this father.

Two hours later, Cheng Song finally finished the morning meeting and came to meet them in the reception room.Lu Yuanzhe thought he would bring his secretary with him, but he didn't put on such a show, he walked in casually and closed the door, without looking at Cheng Mo, he glanced at Lu Yuanzhe first: "Long time no see, Captain Lu, what's the matter?"

Although he didn't bring a secretary to show off, Lu Yuanzhe also heard the meaning of doing business in a very businesslike manner.

Whether it's business or business, he asked straight to the point: "A few days ago, a hot pot restaurant on Qianfan Road exploded, did you know?"

"Understood." Cheng Song nodded, without showing any abnormal emotions, and asked him in turn, "Has the case been solved? There are many people involved in the case, and the case is not closed so quickly, is it?"

"The murderer has been found and is adding materials." He replied honestly, "But we found a case in the case, Mayor Cheng may be able to provide some help."

"Oh?" Cheng Song still didn't panic, just looked at him suspiciously, "What case is in the case? How can I help?"

"Do you know Director Jiang, who unfortunately died in this hot pot case?" He asked.He didn't intend to say what the case was, firstly, to keep his bargaining chips and poor information, and secondly, to add a little tension to Cheng Song.

"Director Jiang..." Cheng Song pondered for a moment, then replied, "The director of the Urban Planning Bureau, right? I heard about it."

"Do you know him?" he repeated emphatically.

"We met a few times." Cheng Song nodded, "I was too busy to hold his funeral a few days ago, but I asked someone to send a gift money."

"You know more about the case of the Island City Institute of Biochemistry a few months ago, do you know the leader?" he asked again.

"I know." Cheng Song quickly answered this time, "I have met Director Jiang, Minister Hua, and Minister Tao."

"Did you know each other before?" He refined the question, "For example... more than ten years ago."

"I don't know that." Cheng Song shrugged and replied without thinking, "Their research institute only cooperated with the government last year, right? Even if it was established, it has only been three or four years?"

"There are two other people who may have been around a long time ago. Let me show you the photos directly. Do you know these two people?" He handed over the documents.

"Who are these two?" Cheng Song frowned, looking confused.

"Are you sure you don't know him?" He asked again.

"I don't know." Cheng Song replied affirmatively, this time looking at Cheng Mo, "Have you seen it?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, but did not speak.

"They all have your mobile phone number ten years ago." Lu Yuanzhe stared at Cheng Song and regained the initiative in the conversation, "It's been there for more than ten years, have you never seen it?"

"Are you all?" Cheng Song looked at him, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, it was the Cheng family's ancestral expression management, and there was no panic at all.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"So?" Cheng Song asked again.

After a brief confrontation, he and Cheng Song looked at each other, but neither side took the lead in the showdown.

A few seconds later, Cheng Song suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, you come to ask me if I know something, right? I don't know."

Neither released a strong sense of deterrence, nor felt guilty, Cheng Song naturally blocked his words: "I don't even know each other, and I don't know why they have my phone number. If you say ten years ago, you may have seen it and forgotten it." Alright, why don't you go and look it up first to find out why they know me, and let me recall it for you?"

With impeccable expression control, he can break through Cheng Mo's disguise through his eyes, but Cheng Song really has no weaknesses, even his eyes will not reveal a bit, full of confidence that he will not be seen through.

"Yan was taken away by the Public Security Bureau 12 years ago. I heard that you also provided clues. Are you not afraid of their retaliation?" He asked seriously.

"I'm afraid." Cheng Song smiled, not too nervous, and glanced at him casually, "Why don't you say hello and let Bureau Tang pay attention to this issue? It's up to you now, they It is also a defeated army with remnants, and it will not have the same scale as before. If you wipe them all out earlier, the island city will definitely be much more peaceful."

"They call the new boss 'Young Master', do you have any idea?" He asked tentatively.

"No." Cheng Song shook his head, and threw the question to Tang Wen, "Ju Tang knows more about the Yan case 12 years ago than I do. You can ask him."

"Dad, tell the truth, if they really take revenge, they won't let you go." Cheng Mo interjected at this moment.

Persuaded by his son in this way, Cheng Song paused for a moment, his eyes gradually sharpened: "What do you think I'm hiding? If you have evidence, you can expose me. I've always done business with you, right?"

Being questioned, Cheng Mo lowered his head again and closed his mouth.

Without giving Lu Yuanzhe a chance to intervene, Cheng Song took the initiative to ask about the cohabitation: "I heard that you live in Lu Dui's house?"

"En." Cheng Mo responded.

"If you don't like to live alone, move back home. You can't explain how much you live in Dui Lu's house." Speaking of this, Cheng Song's tone was vaguely unhappy.

"No, it's fine." Cheng Mo replied in a low voice without agreeing.

Seeing that Cheng Song was going to force Cheng Mo, Lu Yuanzhe stood up: "Let's not talk about private matters. Since there is nothing to gain from official business, let's forget it. If I find something new, I will come to Mayor Cheng again. Mayor Cheng is so devoted to fighting crime." , I shouldn’t be afraid of trouble, and I’ll come to visit with good news next time.”

As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Mo away without giving Cheng Song a chance to say another word.As soon as the door was closed, he heard Cheng Mo heaving a sigh of relief.

"I didn't help much." Cheng Mo whispered in the corridor.No better than Lu Yuanzhe, he is familiar with his father, and what his father said today was all about the scene, and he didn't mean to cooperate with them at all.

"No, I think you made him angry. I'm very happy." Lu Yuanzhe smiled and squeezed his shoulder to make him relax.
