A charming and dangerous character

"Don't be poor, Lao Gao! This is a critical moment, hurry up and get down to business! Everyone is waiting here!" Cheng Ye also picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted to the inside.

Gao Zhiqiang was not in a hurry: "Wait, let me check the time first... MD! It actually took me 4 minutes!"

"Fortunately, it's shorter than the military order I issued~" Gao Zhiqiang chuckled, and after being excited, he immediately resumed his serious self as a criminal investigator: "This place is difficult to check because it has not registered with the industry and commerce, and it should not be a public or profit-making one. buildings, but privately owned."

"You can also see that this house has been around for a long time. You must know that land control was chaotic more than ten years ago. In order to save more money, no one would register the actual land use information, not to mention that the current system is alternating between paper and the Internet. At this stage, the data is still being entered slowly, so I searched on our intranet for a long time just now and couldn't find any relevant information."

"However, I had an idea, and went to check the owner of this land again, and it turned out that I really found something—"

Gao Zhiqiang didn't keep it secret, and went straight to the point: "According to the information I found, this piece of land is located at the junction of S City and D City. It used to belong to a certain agricultural householder surnamed Wu in S City. The ownership was transferred to Qiujian Hotel Group Co., Ltd.”

"That's right, this Qiujian Hotel Group is a company established by Qiu Chuyi's father after himself. It used to be the leader in the hotel industry in City D, and it is also the predecessor of Arrow Hotel Group in City S."

"Then I followed the time of the land transfer and found a piece of information that was published in the newspaper that year."

Gao Zhiqiang recalled the report he saw just now——"Inheritance of Love and Selfless Dedication, Famous Entrepreneurs Spend Tens of Millions of Money to Build a Nursing Home for Love" and analyzed with his colleagues: "It is estimated that this is where the son inherits his father's business. A private nursing home inherited from his father."

"When Qiujian funded the establishment, it was originally intended to be a social welfare institution, but you all know what happened later..." Gao Zhiqiang did not continue.

Because of its remote location and the fact that Qiu Chuyi's father was exposed to sexual assault seven years ago, this unpaid sanatorium is so unknown, it didn't even have time to register with the industry and commerce, and now it is unknown—but That's right when you think about it, who would want to live in an institution funded by rapists?

No one knows what kind of dirty and corrupt heart is hidden under this glamorous appearance.

However, even if Gao Zhiqiang found out that this was a welfare sanatorium funded by Qiu Chuyi's father, Qiu Jian, they were still unclear about Qiu Chuyi's purpose for bringing his children here.

Another ten minutes have passed, and no one has come out of this eerie and tall building until now.

The black doorway is like a monster with its mouth wide open, silently devouring everything around it.

"Since it was built by his father, then..." Lin Ze approached the walkie-talkie and whispered his opinion: "Could Qiu Chuyi just bring his daughter here to see the kind deeds that the child's grandfather did back then? Maybe it's like other Like a parent, come here to reminisce about the past?"

However, only Lao Qi's disdainful snort and Lao Gao's "young people are still too naive!" greeted Lin Ze.

But after thinking for a long time, Cheng Ye said to everyone: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. I..."

The phrase "Based on my years of understanding of him" was about to blurt out, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and immediately stopped it, and immediately changed it to: "...Based on my years of experience in handling cases, sometimes I think too much It is indeed easy to fall into misunderstandings. What Lin Ze said is not unreasonable, and prisoners are not necessarily so sophisticated and difficult to deal with."

"So there's a good chance we'll 'get away with nothing' tonight."

Cheng Ye paused again, and apologized softly to everyone without any foreshadowing: "I'm sorry, I...tonight's actions were indeed a bit reckless."

He really set up this tracking task to satisfy his "selfish desire".

Cheng Ye didn't know whether Qiu Chuyi had something to do with his wife's murder because of the influence of his father's affairs - this had nothing to do with other people, it was entirely out of Cheng Ye's own wishes, but Now that he had calmed down, he realized how stupid he was, and even involved his teammates.

But when Gao Zhiqiang and Qi Zhanzhu heard what Cheng Ye said, they immediately said——

"No, boss! What are you talking about!"

"Captain, why are you apologizing? Do you look down on Lao Gao and us!"

"Team..."

But before Lin Ze had time to express that he didn't mind, his eyes, which had maintained excellent eyesight at 52 even after reading all day, suddenly saw the darkness in front of him, as if someone was coming out of the back door.

So without hesitation, he immediately yelled into the intercom: "Teams! It seems that someone came out of the back door!"

Cheng Ye and Gao Zhiqiang, who were in front of the main entrance, looked at the unstarted Maybach parked in the yard with wide eyes, and felt the same in their hearts for some reason—the person who Lin Ze said went out from the back door was probably Qiu Chuyi!

Cheng Ye saw that there were several unread messages on the phone, but he ignored them for the time being. He first ordered Lin Ze: "Lin Ze, keep an eye on the target! Don't let him out of your field of vision!"

After thinking about it, he added: "Also, don't act rashly! See what he wants to do, and let us know if he makes any moves, and we will go over to support immediately!"

"Okay!" Lin Ze readily agreed.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the luxuriant woods looked like ghostly shadows at the moment, and the wind howled coldly through the open gap of the car door.

Although the light outside is still not very good, Lin Ze still caught the moving target through the telescope.

This large nursing home also has a fairly spacious back garden. Through the half-person-high low wall behind the garden, Lin Ze vaguely saw that Qiu Chuyi lowered his head and seemed to be looking for something.

Could it be that he was looking for something related to the case?

Could it be that he was looking for the murder weapon? !

As soon as this idea came to the rookie criminal policeman's mind, his hands and feet immediately became cold.Maybe it was frozen, or maybe it was frightened by this bold guess.

Lin Ze didn't know what he was going to do, because he didn't expect Qiu Chuyi to come out from the back door.

Do you just look at it like this?But it seems that he can't see what the other party is doing.

But will rushing there to scare the snake?

Just when Lin Ze was thinking about what to do and was at a loss, Qiu Chuyi in the telescope suddenly walked firmly in a certain direction!

Lin Ze hurriedly looked in that direction, only to find a hut in the corner—although the wooden hut was inconspicuous, he had a strong premonition of what would happen next!

It was too late to notify Captain Cheng and the others.In order to avoid missing the opportunity, Lin Ze decided to go alone to observe the target action at close range.

Just as he was about to get out of the car with his palms and feet dripping with cold sweat, the radio on the car suddenly rustled, instantly breaking the tense tense situation.

"Lin Ze—"

Cheng Ye's voice came from inside, but he said unexpectedly: "Don't stare... this operation is cancelled."

A large group of sparrows stood on the treetops with dry branches and leaves, chirping non-stop, and the severe cold in autumn seemed to be unable to stop their screaming mouths all the time.

The night was already deep.

Although there is no grass around the nursing home, many types of flowers and plants are still planted in the back garden of the hospital, but the weather is getting colder now, and the lush flowers and plants in the garden have been replaced by withered plants.

As time passed, a thin layer of chill gradually emerged on the ground.

A pair of pure black calf leather men's derby shoes and red children's shoes about half the size smaller than it, walked in the deserted suburban garden with the same frequency under the cold moonlight.

The girl with a delicate face like a doll pulled her skirt carefully to avoid being caught by the rose thorns next to it - the height of the mature flower branch is nothing to an adult, it may only reach the waist, but it is quite It is as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child.

The elegant father and daughter walked in the back garden for about a quarter of an hour, and the cold air slowly seeped into the soles of their feet through their shoes.Qiu Chuyi stopped suddenly, bent over and picked up her daughter: "Are you okay, Chuchu? Do you feel cold?"

Qiu Chuchu huddled in her father's arms, shook her head, and said softly, "I'm not cold, Dad."

Qiu Chuchu, who was usually chirping like a sparrow, unexpectedly stopped at this moment, as if all her energy had been sucked away by black magic, her young heart beat twice, she blinked those black bright eyes, He looked up at his father who was shrouded in mist.

"Father..." Qiu Chuchu asked worriedly, "Can we really find that brooch?"

Recalling that they entered the white building just now, after walking an unknown number of steps, Qiu Chuyi led her to a fully floor-to-ceiling transparent glass door, and then pointed to the person inside who walked from behind the bookshelf. Stepping out, the confused but elegant old woman said, "We are here today to visit a dear relative."

Qiu Chuchu, who has been in this world for almost eight years, did not know until today that she is like other classmates, and there is a grandma whose blood is thicker than water—this is the only relative she has ever seen besides her parents .

That dignified and elegant old lady (Qiu Chuchu is still not used to calling her grandma) lives in a very beautiful glass room, like the kind of crystal ball that can make snowflakes.Although only seven years old, Qiu Chuchu could still see the unnatural expression on the old man's face at a glance.

Because she was so quiet, the old woman stood like a ballet dancer in a crystal ball.

And when her father took her in, the old woman didn't seem to see them, she only noticed the open door, and she ignored the two people around her and went straight to the door.

The ballet dancer’s clockwork was finally wound, and the old woman walked mechanically, but she muttered: “Brooch… Where is the brooch that A Jian gave me? I’ll wear it and see it with A Jian in a while.” What about the movie..."

Qiu Chuchu froze on the spot in a daze, but luckily a nurse soon caught up to prevent accidents from happening.

The old woman's empty eyes and nervous appearance made the child instinctively develop a kind of fear.But for some reason, after hearing her father say "this is my mother", Qiu Chuchu's heart was suddenly completely occupied by an unspeakable sadness.

Looking at the face of the old woman who resembles her father in seven or eight, it is not difficult to imagine how elegant this grandma who has never met before was when she was young.

Qiu Chuchu really wanted to know what happened to make grandma look like this: "Father, since she is my... grandma, why have I never been here before?"

Qiu Chuyi was silent.

"Is it because mom doesn't like grandma?" The little girl was sensitive to something.Qiu Chuchu guessed that the mother who strives to make things perfect may not want to admit that there is such a "not decent" relative alive in the family.

Qiu Chuyi still didn't nod or deny it, but his face rarely showed a trace of fragility: "Because Chuchu was too young before, there were many things my mother didn't want to tell you. But it's different now, everything has changed——Dad I feel the need to bring you over to see my mother."

The little girl felt very sad when she saw her father showing his vulnerable side—she was afraid of seeing her father like this, which made her feel like the sky was about to collapse.

So Qiu Chuchu took her father's hand, and hurriedly advocated: "Dad! Let's go out and help grandma find her brooch, shall we?" She remembered what the old woman said just now: "The yard here is so big, grandma must be Be careful where it falls, let's find it!"

It's just a pity that the two of them searched here for a long time but found nothing.

Qiu Chuyi felt the warmth of the daughter in his arms, and deliberately turned the child's head away. He looked at the Jetta that suddenly drove away not far away. The orange-red taillights were like two ghost lights from the dark in the night.

He put his cheek close to his daughter, and said softly: "Thank you, Chuchu..." Qiu Chuyi hugged the child tightly again, thanking him from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for being so kind."

When the Jetta completely disappeared from sight, Qiu Chuyi said to his yawning daughter, "Why don't we go back first."

"But Dad, we haven't looked for this room yet..." Qiu Chuchu leaned her head on her father's shoulder, looked at the dusty room not far away, noticed a door lock and asked again: " Dad, do you have the key to the room?"

Qiu Chuyi patted the child's head: "Daddy doesn't have a key either."

"Okay." Qiu Chuchu yawned again: "Then let's go back quickly, Chuchu is already sleepy..."

Qiu Chuyi hugged her daughter and prepared to leave.

——It was as if the scene he saw through the low window on the ground just now was just an illusion and did not exist.

Of course, the little girl who was attacked by sleepiness never saw that the locked room was near the ground, and there was a side of crystal glass reflecting the moonlight.

The moonlight shone in quietly, but it could only look helplessly at the girl lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

I saw that the woman's hands, feet and mouth were firmly sealed with black tape, only the occasional ups and downs under the nose proved that she was still alive.

did not expect--

Lin Ze's intuition was so accurate.
