last case

"Go upstairs first." Xie Jibai said.

Xie Jibai and Tang Xin entered the puppet hall, and followed Yu Gu's assistant to the upstairs studio. After opening the door, the inside was still neat and tidy.

"We don't know what was written in that letter, anyway, after Mr. Yu read it, something was very wrong." The assistant invited them in and said.

As the assistant said, he hurriedly walked to the front of the workbench, then reached out to pick up an envelope from above, and said, "This is it."

Xie Jibai took the envelope from the assistant's hand, and couldn't help frowning. He immediately took out an evidence bag, sealed the envelope in a transparent bag, and then began to study it carefully.

A seemingly ordinary envelope, white, with the words "Received by Mr. Yu Gu" written on it, other than that, there is no address postcode or postmark.

"This word..." Tang Xin just glanced at it, and immediately said, "It belongs to that person."

Xie Jibai nodded, the only few words on the envelope were exactly the same as the books in Yu's Memories, it should be from the same person's notes.But whether this is the case or not, we have to take it back for an appraisal.

There is nothing inside the envelope, it should be taken away by Yu Gu, now there is only such a lonely envelope here, the rest is nothing.

Xie Jibai asked, "When did this envelope appear?"

The assistant recalled it and said, "It was around eleven o'clock last night."

According to the assistant's recollection, since the police detective came to see Mr. Yu Gu for the first time, Mr. Yu's mental condition seemed to be not very good.He still didn't go out, but he didn't devote himself to making his dolls anymore, he was lost in thought most of the time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At about eleven o'clock last night, the assistants were all about to go to rest. This little assistant was about to go back to the room after packing up, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door downstairs.

When he heard the sound, he went downstairs to check. The puppet hall downstairs was closed long ago. It is impossible to be a visitor at such a late hour. Maybe the staff left something and came back here to pick it up.

He walked to the gate and opened it, only to find that there was no one there. He only heard a "click", and something was stuck in the crack of the gate, and it fell to the ground at this moment.

The assistant bent down and picked it up. It turned out to be a letter. Turning it over, he found that it was not sealed, and he didn't know who sent it so carelessly.

At that time, the assistant didn't think much about it, and when he saw that Mr. Yu Gu had written it, he took it upstairs and handed it to Mr. Yu Gu.

"Who knows..." the assistant said: "Who knows that after reading this letter, sir, something is very wrong. I didn't think much about it at the time, and I didn't know what was written in the letter. After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I came out I didn’t see anyone when I opened the door, but in the middle of the night, the postman must have left work long ago, who would deliver the letter at this time. Take a step back and say it’s the postman, but there is no postmark on the envelope, it’s really weird.”

Indeed, the letter had apparently been arranged for.

The assistant said: "I regained my strength. When I felt something was wrong, I found that Mr. Yu Gu was gone. He was no longer in his room, nor was he in the studio. Later Xiao Zhang told me that Mr. Yu Gu hurried out to I don’t know where I went, so I just put on a coat and looked like I didn’t take anything.”

Yu Gu was missing, his whereabouts were unknown, and he couldn't be contacted at all, and his cell phone was turned off.His friends seemed to be few and far between, and no one knew where he had gone.

Xie Jibai frowned.

Tang Xin said: "I see that you have many surveillance cameras here."

"Yes, yes." The assistant said.

Yu Gu is a master of puppet making. Although the circle is relatively small, he is still a well-known figure. The Вjd dolls he made can no longer be bought for thousands of yuan, and some can even sell for 10,000+ US dollars.

There are many expensive exhibits on the first floor. Naturally, there are anti-theft measures, and there are many surveillance systems. There is also one at the gate.

The assistant quickly communicated with the staff, and then pulled out all the surveillance videos.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the video at the gate captured a figure.Because the night was too dark, I couldn't see clearly, only a silhouette walking towards me.

As that person approached, Xie Ji Bai and the others could see it much more clearly on the screen.

The man in the gray trench coat...

Appeared.

"It's him." Tang Xin frowned, his eyes fixed on the screen.

The man on the screen came out of the night and stood at the gate. He lowered his head, so the surveillance could not capture his face.

He stood at the gate, stretched out his hand to open the windbreaker, took out an envelope from inside, stuffed the envelope in the crack of the door and clamped it.

His movements are slow and graceful, not as if he is doing something furtive, but rather admiring.

He placed the envelope and made sure that the envelope would not fall off by itself, so he unhurriedly raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

Suddenly!

Just after he knocked on the door, the man in the gray windbreaker suddenly raised his head!

Surveillance cameras immediately captured his face.

"stop!"

Xie Jibai spoke out immediately.

The screen froze.

"Ah! This weird guy, is he wearing a mask?" the assistant couldn't help but shouted in surprise.

On the screen, there was a close-up of a man in a gray windbreaker raising his face, but his face was wearing a mask, and his original face could not be seen at all.

"He..." Tang Xin said, "Knows that there is surveillance here."

"Yes." Xie Jibai said.

Although they couldn't see the face of the man in the gray windbreaker, they could see a pair of eyes hidden behind the mask, which seemed to be shining brightly in the dark night.

Those are eyes that are not only shining, but tell stories, with a smile and confidence in them.

This man greeted them with a look.

The monitoring continued to play, and the man in the gray windbreaker lowered his head again, then left calmly and turned to the side street.

When the door opened and the assistant found the letter, the man in the gray windbreaker had already left, with no shadow in sight.

Xie Jibai was silent for two seconds, and said, "We have to take the video back to the bureau."

"Oh, good." The assistant said quickly.

Xie Jibai said: "If Mr. Yu suddenly appears, please contact us immediately."

"Okay, okay." The assistant can't say anything now, and can only nod in agreement.

Xie Jibai and Tang Xin went downstairs and walked outside together.After watching the video, Xie Ji Bai was silent and a little nervous.

He couldn't help observing Tang Xin's expression, and was almost caught by Tang Xin.Fortunately, Tang Xin's face didn't change too much, it seems that his previous impression of him should not be too great.

Who is this man in the gray windbreaker? He appeared again.

"Be careful."

Tang Xin pulled Xie Jibai suddenly, Xie Jibai walked with his head depressed, and almost collided with the person in front.

"sorry Sorry."

"It's you?"

Xie Jibai was pulled away by Tang Xin, and when he took a closer look, the person he almost bumped into turned out to be Qin An, whom he had just met not long ago.

Qin An was still apologizing repeatedly, but when he looked up, he was stunned, and said, "Yes...it's Mr. Detective."

Qin An was a little startled, with an awkward smile and a stiff expression on his face.

Tang Xin smiled friendly, looked back at the gate of the puppet hall, and said, "Are you here to see the exhibition?"

"Ah?" Qin An was taken aback, then quickly shook his hands and said, "No, I'm just passing by..."

Qin An almost bumped into Xie Jibai at the gate of the puppet hall. He looked like he was about to enter, but he kept denying it, as if there was no silver 300 taels here.

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing, he felt that Qin An was still a young child, and he couldn't tell a lie.

Qin An ran away in a hurry, Xie Jibai looked back at his back and said, "Forget it, let's take the surveillance camera back first."

It was quite rare for them to get such a clear surveillance video.With this video, some characteristic clues of the man in gray can be analyzed, which may help solve the case.

Xie Jibai and Tang Xin returned to the bureau, and as soon as they entered the office, they heard Chen Wanting greet them.

"What's the matter, boss?" Xie Jibai asked.

Chen Wanting said, "We have found Yu Gu's whereabouts."

"Where is the person?" Xie Ji Bai asked immediately.

Chen Yancai said: "I found out that Yu Gu bought a train ticket to City A with his ID card. The train left at [-]:[-] at night and left overnight."

"City A?" Xie Ji Bai frowned.

Tang Xin asked in surprise: "He went to City A? What did he do?"

Team Ai couldn't help but say, "It must have absconded in fear of crime."

Chen Yancai couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Liu Zhihui scratched the back of his head and said, "No, isn't City A too close? What's the use of escaping there?"

Team Ai asked, "Then why did he go to City A?"

Xie Jibai immediately stood up and said, "No matter what he is going to do, we should find him right now. That mysterious man in the gray windbreaker found Yu Gu, which is not a good omen no matter what."

"What's going on? That man in the gray windbreaker appeared?" Chen Wanting said.

"Boss, I will report to you on the way back." Xie Jibai said.

"Xiaobai wait!"

Chen Yancai hurriedly called him, saying, "Don't go to City A."

Xie Jibai frowned.

Chen Yancai said: "I haven't finished my sentence, you guys let me finish my sentence. Yu Gu bought a train ticket to City A that night, and I found out that he bought another ticket to City A this morning. Train tickets here."

"Wait?" Team Ai said with his mouth wide open, "He bought the ticket and came back?"

"Yes." Chen Yancai said, "And according to the time, he should get off the train soon."

"I'm going to the train station!" Xie Jibai said.

"I'll go with you." Tang Xin said immediately.

Chen Wanting said: "Chen Yancai, continue to check on Yugu's news, someone got off the train and lost it."

"Okay." Chen Yancai said immediately.
