A charming and dangerous character

When the Westminster bell on campus rang No.11 times, the sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky.

Autumn in the north is a rather contradictory season. Even though the nights are so cold, the sun shines brightly during the day. Thousands of golden rays of sunlight shining on the body make people feel warm from head to toe.

At this time, there were a few scattered classes in the playground of Yuying International Middle School in S City, who were having physical education classes.

After the physical education teacher finished speaking and disbanded on the spot, Amber quietly left the team by herself and walked along the path to the rear of the teaching building. She finally found Cheng Youting who was sitting blankly under a flowered wall.

Even though there was still a distance between the two, Amber clearly saw the two undried tears on the girl's face and the crumpled tissue in her hand, obviously she had just cried.

She took the initiative to walk to Cheng Youting's side, and instead of mentioning these things, she asked, "Youting, why did you hide here alone in the physical education class?"

However, the girl didn't react at all, just raised her head and squinted at her after hearing the sound, and then lowered her head again to immerse herself in her own world.

A few petals slowly floated down from the sky and fell on the shoulders of the two. Amber was also silent, standing quietly beside her friend.

"I don't know……"

Suddenly, Cheng Youting said in a hoarse voice: "Amber, I can't figure out whether it was right for me to go to the police station that day..."

In contrast to the bright red roses on the wall behind her, the girl's face was terribly pale.She has been tormented by restlessness and fear for many days, and recently she has even started to dare not watch TV because she is afraid of hearing any news about it:

"If, you said that if he went to prison because of my statement, but I didn't see clearly that day whether that person was him... Do I count as perjury? If he finds out later, I... I What should I do?"

Cheng Youting's voice was full of tears, and the expression on her face was ready to cry.

She kept blaming herself for being curious and meddling in her heart, but if she was the only one present that day - Cheng Youting asked herself, she would never have dared to go to the police station to testify and report.

So she suddenly grabbed Amber's hand, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw: "Amber, it was you...you told me to go to the police station to expose him!" That beautiful face instantly became ferocious. , Cheng Youting's men exerted a lot of strength, and the regret and anger in the eyes burst out at the same time, and the slender wrist was soon reddened.

"You said at the time that we went to testify together, but, why didn't you go later? Did you not want to go at all, so you lied to me that day, right..."

Amber was shaken badly by her, but she still didn't choose to withdraw her hand, but let Cheng Youting hold it, as if this arm wasn't part of her body, and she couldn't feel any pain.

She just stared at the tearful friend in front of her for a moment. Although her eyes were cold, she still showed concern on her face: "Why did you forget again, You Ting? I explained to you that I was injured that day. I didn’t go to the police station, if you don’t believe me, look—”

The sleeve of the school uniform was quickly lifted up by Amber, and the skin on the front of the forearm was smooth and fair, but when it was turned over, there was an ugly centipede-like scar about seven or eight centimeters on the back.The black line at the wound was still clearly visible, obviously it looked like it had just been sutured.

I don't know if Cheng Youting has listened to this explanation, but her hands were relieved after all.

She suddenly let go of her friend's wrist, hugged Amber's injured arm with a bit of grievance and sadness, and then sobbed in a low voice: "But Qiu Chuyi hasn't moved at all recently, and there is no peace on TV. Reports on this matter."

The top of the head is like a sickle that is still on the surface, and no one knows whether it will suddenly fall.The current situation seems calm, but Cheng Youting is very disturbed, and sometimes she even feels helpless and suffocated.

"Amber, you said that day... Could it be that we read it wrong that day? If we really read it wrong, what should we do if we reported it wrong? Can we think of any way to remedy it?"

"I've been terribly scared these days... I can't eat, and I've been having nightmares when I sleep at night. Even my grades have been affected. My mother will scold me to death when I go back today..."

"Why don't we go to the police station again?" At this point, Cheng Youting suddenly raised her head, her eyes may have been brightened by tears or hope: "This time you go with me, let's say that we saw him that day." people aren't sure if..."

Amber, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put her finger on her friend's lips lightly, stopped her endless talking to herself, then pulled out her arm, and hugged her friend tightly as if responding, those reasons were obvious The pain seemed to be transmitted to her through the hug.

However, can the emotions between people really be completely connected?

It's like she didn't understand why Cheng Youting was afraid of her mother's scolding because she didn't do well in the exam, and why she was so stupid that she obeyed everyone's words without debating whether they were true or false—the source of her pain seemed to her to be just some simple things. reasons why pain should not be felt;

Of course, if you think about it differently, Cheng Youting must not be able to understand her life.

She lingers on with such complicated emotions, continues to live, how painful it is to cut her arm with a knife and then suture it by herself-but she still has to pretend that nothing happened and she is no different from ordinary people .

Everything seemed to have quietly changed on the day they found the dismembered corpse.

"……It will be fine."

Amber seemed to be comforting a newborn lamb, gently stroking the hair on the top of the girl's head with her fingertips in a gentle and comforting manner.

"Everything will pass." She whispered, but a sudden light flashed in her eyes.

It was like remembering the text message she replied before class.

It was a memory worth looking forward to.

Rewind the time to two 10 minutes ago.

When Amber carefully avoided everyone, came to the toilet and took out her mobile phone, and saw the string of unsaved numbers on the screen, the big stone that had been pressing on her heart finally fell to the ground.

Opening the front cover of the phone, in the dimly lit compartment, the warm autumn sun brought a line of pure black characters without temperature into her eyes, and those sparks hidden deep in her eyes were suddenly lit up:

"At seven o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, see you in the female dormitory."

***

The sun gradually moved up, the ultraviolet rays became stronger, and the temperature in the morning also became hotter.

But the sun can't warm the bleak autumn scene, nor can it shine on someone's little heart that has been traumatized.

"Ah... ah, ah!"

In the corridor on the first floor of the S City Police Station, after three consecutive sighs, Cheng Ye fell into that "painful" memory again with his hands on his forehead.

Last night's actions in Yetianchi, apart from Huang Rong's henchman and the high cost of 3580, he seems to have no other gains—oh, no, there is also the disappointment of Huang Rong who questioned his character after seeing the massage girl in 707 eyes.

Cheng Ye couldn't help but let out a long breath again, thinking of the increasingly complicated case and Huang Rong who didn't know whether to help or disrupt the situation, he felt his head hurt even more.

However, how do you sing the lyrics?

"There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, but your life still has to go on."

Standing at the door of the office, Cheng Ye reorganized his mood before raising his hand to open the door and go in.He didn't want to be surrounded by the laughter of the crowd at the moment of opening the door.

What are these people laughing and laughing in the early morning?Is the work done?Have all the cases been solved?

Cheng Ye was about to scold them with a straight face, but his ears were keenly aware: "...Thank you, Sister Rong!"

The voice didn't sound familiar. It was probably a criminal police officer from City S Bureau. He seemed to be joking with someone: "No, why hasn't our 'Brother Jing' come to work until now? This makes Sister Rong feel guilty." Wait all morning!"

Soon, Huang Rong's unique crisp voice came to Cheng Ye's ears from the room: "Go! Don't talk nonsense! Who is Brother Jing? Let me tell you, kid, don't just take advantage of your young age to 'talk like a child'! "

The man didn't say anything when he heard it, he just laughed with everyone and winked: "Who is talking about, it's all right, Sister Rong, we all know it well..."

Before the words fell, everyone only heard the door slammed open violently.

"Why do you know it well?" Cheng Ye couldn't listen to it just now, he pushed open the door, and walked in like a wind blowing under his feet.

He has a tight handsome face, with a serious expression that is incompatible with the atmosphere of the room: "Let me see who understands so well, has he solved all the cases? Would you like to have a one-on-one with me? Can you tell me well?"

"Boss..."

"Team..."

Seeing that his expression was not right, everyone hurriedly put away that hippie and teasing look, and greeted him in unison.Huang Rong was probably the only one in the audience who saw him come in and showed a brighter smile: "Oh, brother Cheng is you!"

The little girl's eyes are black and her teeth are white, and her hair is fine and neat, obviously after careful grooming.She raised something at Cheng Ye, waved her arm and said, "Have you eaten this morning? I brought some breakfast for everyone, do you want to come and try it together?"

It was only then that Cheng Ye noticed that everyone in the room was holding something in their hands or eating something in their mouths—they were short-mouthed and soft-hearted, no wonder the group of people laughed so happily just now.

He intentionally ignored the pink bento box that Huang Rong was about to hand over, still sullen but with a much more relaxed tone, ignoring the others and only asked her, "Huang Rong, did you come to the Municipal Bureau to report to the Human Resources Department today?"

When Cheng Ye mentioned it, Huang Rong suddenly remembered that she was patronizing to deliver breakfast to Cheng Ye's colleagues in the morning, and it seemed that she hadn't reported it.

"Ah! Brother Cheng, thank you for reminding me! I'll report to HR now!"

Huang Rong came and went in a hurry.She stuffed the pink heart bento box into Cheng Ye's hand, and ran out like a gust of wind, the crisp voice echoing in everyone's ears for a long time

After Huang Rong left, it was convenient for Cheng Ye and his brothers to "indoctrinate" certain ideas in private.

"Who did I hear just now that it seems that we have a 'Brother Jing' here?" Cheng Ye asked casually, and wherever his eyes looked, everyone had a teasing expression.

Someone answered in a low voice: "Then Brother Cheng should know better than us..."

"I know? Why don't I know." His expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "My name is Cheng Ye. Whoever wants to be 'Brother Jing' can be that."

As soon as he mentioned the origin of his name, Cheng Ye said boldly: "When my parents named me before, they hoped that I could get married and start a business early-but I have been very 'strong' and single for so many years."

As soon as the voice changed, Cheng Ye's one-sided eyebrows also raised accordingly, and that Qingjun face suddenly had a little different charm.He looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "What? Now someone wants to help me as a mediator, and I am old? Then, do I want to thank you for my parents?"

Everyone quickly waved their hands: "No, no..."

Cheng Ye felt that the effect had been achieved, so he didn't say any more: "When I have time to study and study cases, I like to engage in these relationships between men and women. Remember, this is a police station, not a marriage agency!"

As soon as the voice stopped, Gao Zhiqiang quickly interjected: "Boss, Director Zhang told you to come and go to his office for a meeting!"

"A meeting?" Cheng Ye was puzzled.

What kind of meeting is this early in the morning?Could it be that he wanted to tell him about Huang Rong's coming?

"Yeah!" Qi Zhanzhu nodded along with him, he was holding a bun in his hand, but when Cheng Ye looked over, he immediately put it on the table again: "Captain, the assistant to the director came to look for it just now but you weren't here, hurry up! It seems to be in a hurry."

After Cheng Ye left, everyone in the office dispersed immediately, but Gao Zhiqiang, Qi Zhanzhu, and Lin Ze gathered together.

Gao Zhiqiang said in a low voice, not without concern: "The boss is still like this...every time Huang Rong is mentioned, he is so impatient." Like an old father, he sighed worriedly: "Oh, what do you think about this. They are both old and young, and they are 26 and seven, and I don’t see him looking for someone to talk to..."

Qi Zhanzhu, a straight man who has been with Cheng Ye for many years, was also deeply touched: "I guess Huang Rong came here for our captain, but the captain never seems to give him a good face."

"I feel... Sister Rong seems pretty good too?" Lin Ze finally interjected, thinking of the heroic girl just now, and said in a weak tone: "She is beautiful, her family background is good, and she is dedicated to the team... ..." He couldn't understand why Cheng Ye didn't like her.

"Xiao Lin has never been in love a few times at a glance. This is called falling flowers and ruthless water." Gao Zhiqiang said to the point: "Okay, it's useless for us to worry about it here. True love doesn't distinguish between genders these days. Maybe we Boss really doesn't like Huang Rong, he just likes the less pretty ones!"

Suddenly remembered the matter that the chief had called Cheng Ye away, he murmured to Qi Zhanzhu: "I don't know why Bureau Zhang called our boss so early. Is there any progress in the case?"

The two were only interested in chatting about Cheng Ye's gossip, and no one noticed that Lin Ze quietly lowered his head at this time, and he didn't know if it was shyness or other expressions on his face.

A few minutes later, the third floor of the police station.

The assistant to the director opened the door and saw a man pacing in the corridor against the morning light. He was not wearing a uniform and was dressed in casual clothes. There seemed to be something worried between his brows and eyes.

She quickly recognized this slender man as Captain Cheng Ye, who was transferred from the City D branch not long ago, and greeted politely: "It's early to form a team." Then, seeing that he had been refusing to enter the chief's office, she asked, "Why don't you go in?" ? The director is waiting for you in the office now."

"Ah...Okay." Cheng Ye saw that the director's assistants had come out, so he could only walk towards the door: "Go in now..."

Before he went in, he was still thinking whether he had spent extravagantly in Yetian Lake this time and attracted the attention of the organization, or Zhang Ju had come to him because of other things--if he was reported to spend money in Yetian Lake last night, but he is It happened for a reason, but I don't know how to explain it to the organization. After all, it was a private and illegal stalking, so the knocking on the door was much quieter than usual.

"Zhang Bureau."

Cheng Ye pushed the door open and saw Zhang Ju's friendly, Buddhist face.He held up the freshly brewed Kung Fu tea, pointed to the sofa beside him and smiled, "You are here in the team, sit wherever you want, it has been really hard for you these days."

Cheng Ye replied without thinking, like a machine: "No hard work, no hard work... It's all about serving the people, so there's no such thing as hard work! Besides, it's all what I should do!"

"Hey, you can't say everything like this." Director Zhang laughed again: "I often see teams working overtime at the police station. Everyone else is off work and you are still there to watch the case. It's not that the organization can't see it. This kind of professionalism deserves everyone's praise and praise."

Cheng Ye was inexplicably overwhelmed by Zhang Ju's compliment, and was taken aback for a moment, thinking about it again and again, he simply didn't say anything, and smiled tactfully at Zhang Ju.

Such a high hat of "love and dedication" was taken off, and Cheng Ye looked at the smiling face like Maitreya Buddha, and for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that he was in a banquet at the Hongmen.

Being courteous for nothing is either rape or stealing——Is there something Zhang Ju wants him to do?

But Zhang Ju then just said: "If you need help with the case, just tell us. If you don't have enough manpower, you can tell us—oh, by the way, remember to ask them for reimbursement if you usually have any expenses, just don't forget Make an invoice."

Cheng Ye still had a smile on his face, but he immediately thought of his high-value invoice of 3580 in his mind, and said to himself: I don't know if Zhang Ju will continue to smile at him so amiably once this invoice is shown.

However, Cheng Ye will not follow what Zhang Ju said just now, and really go to reimburse yesterday's expenses.These boring thoughts just stay in his mind.

At this time, Zhang Ju felt that the scene was almost finished, and poured another cup of tea for Cheng Ye: "I believe in the team's ability, and it will definitely be easy to catch the real culprit of the '[-]' case," he paused. , he finally got to the point: "I just don't know about Lin Ze, how has he behaved under your command recently?"

Seeing Cheng Ye's reserved expression, Ju Zhang smiled generously and said, "I'm just asking casually, don't be too nervous as a team. Just tell me the truth about Lin Ze's usual behavior."

Seeing that the smile on Zhang Ju's face became more and more obvious, and there was a tendency to develop in the direction of a shrewd old fox, Cheng Ye thought carefully in his heart several times before answering cautiously.

"You said Lin Ze's usual performance... The kid is pretty good, smart and eager to learn, and has rich professional knowledge, but he may be a little timid. But in the future, he will be more successful in the field and exercise more. He will definitely be more promising than us in the future. !"

These remarks not only praised Lin Ze's advantages, but also briefly mentioned a less important shortcoming-the tone of voice would not make people feel that he was falsely praising, and combined with the appropriate expression on his face, Cheng Ye believed that in Zhang Ju's opinion Absolutely sincere.

Sure enough, Zhang Ju listened to what Cheng Ye said, and nodded with satisfaction: "This kid is really smart. To tell you the truth, I almost watched him grow up. This kid has not been very courageous since he was a child, but it has been a long time, and young people have grown up." You still have to practice slowly."

"It's just to work hard to form a team, take Xiao Ze well, and let him learn more practical and useful knowledge from you." Maybe I remembered that when everyone had a meeting that day, Zhang Ju specially asked Lin Ze to ask questions, but he couldn't hear it. It was found that the child was reciting silently instead of really learning and applying: "Don't let him know how to recite textbooks all day long, just like a repeater."

"Of course, I will try my best to let Lin Ze learn more!" Cheng Ye readily agreed and agreed.

However, he thought in his heart: I didn't expect Lin Ze to be able to invite someone like Zhang Ju to say good things for him, and even Huang Rong, the daughter of the bureau chief, came here without saying a word. It seems that Lin Ze's family background is important. Even more outstanding than Huang Rong.

In fact, Cheng Ye had long guessed that Lin Ze's identity was unusual—it wasn't just a fledgling who could appoint Xiong Taili, a well-known expert in the province, as his master.

Of course, except for Zhao Yiwei at the beginning.It is estimated that he is only from an ordinary family, and he must have known the bear expert long before he became famous.

"Team, since there is no problem with the case, then you can go back first, don't delay your work. If you need any help in the future, just ask, I will help as much as I can." Lin Ze's parents have completed the task, Zhang Ju didn't want to waste any more time, and euphemistically issued an order to evict the guest with Cheng Ye.

Let go when you run out of people. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ju, who looks kind and kind on the surface, turns out to be quite pragmatic on the inside.

Cheng Ye realized this, smiled silently in his heart, stood up, and said: "How can I trouble you all the time, there are so many things in the police station, I can solve them myself."

He pretended to be polite, with a shy smile on his face: "That's right, recently I encountered a problem that I don't know how to solve..."

Since he had promised Cheng Ye that he would let it go despite his difficulties, Zhang Ju had no choice but to answer the question and asked, "Huh? Did Cheng Ye encounter any difficult problems?"

"No, it's actually nothing to do with my current case. It's okay to say it." Cheng Ye seemed embarrassed, and said euphemistically, "Isn't Team Zhao on sick leave recently? I just found out something about the 'Eleventh Eleven' yesterday." ·The clues to the five'disappearance case..."

"This is a good thing!" Zhang Ju asked again: "Why does the team feel embarrassed?"

Cheng Ye sighed: "But you know that this case is not under my control, but the clues are rare. I am afraid that if I follow the clues to investigate, the people under Team Zhao should think more about it. I like to take credit from them..." He intentionally paused: "After all, I don't really work in City S, and sooner or later I have to go back to City D."

"This problem is easy to deal with." After Zhang Ju understood it, he still had that kindly smile on his face: "Since the clue was found in Yetian Lake, I'll just tell them that I let you experience the S City Bureau's discipline inspection." project--"

"In addition to criminal cases, the discipline inspection of entertainment venues is also a rare grass-roots experience. So as a team, you can go and investigate with confidence. If you find any clues and it is not convenient to tell them, you can tell me then."

"Okay! Then I will thank Bureau Zhang first!"

Cheng Ye deliberately did not disclose to Zhang Ju that he had met Zhao Yiwei in private.

He didn't know why, maybe it was out of intuition or maybe it was an illusion, he didn't want too many people to know that his relationship with Zhao Yiwei had eased.

Although he is in the situation of "people under the roof", he does not want to "bow his head in everything".

Before Cheng Ye was about to go out, Zhang Ju suddenly thought of something and said: "Oh, by the way, did Director Huang's daughter come to report today? Form a team, then I will trouble you to take her to investigate the case together! "

Cheng Ye who has already stepped forward with one foot: "..."

He wanted to take Lin Ze just now, and now he wants to take Huang Rong—why does he somehow feel like he is a teacher in a kindergarten?

***

Although Cheng Ye now thinks of Lin Ze and Huang Rong, he can't help but imagine the "beautiful" picture of himself holding a baby with both hands.

But now he finally has a formal excuse to go to Yetian Lake, without worrying about being reported. As a policeman, he frequently goes to and from entertainment venues.

Yes, Cheng Ye always felt that there must be some undiscovered information in Ye Tianchi.

For example, what exactly was Qiu Chuyi doing when he appeared in Yetianchi last night?Why didn't there be any news after entering box 705?

If we think about it at a deeper level, will the criminal group actually controlled behind Ye Tianchi have something to do with him...

Of course, these issues can be postponed for the time being, but it was Du Jialan who was eloped with a man by the waiter girl yesterday, which aroused Cheng Ye's great interest at present.

This woman also has the blue butterfly tattoo on her wrist that Zhao Yiwei mentioned - could she also be one of the missing persons in the "October [-]th" extraordinary disappearance case?

It's just that no one reported the crime for her, instead she just found an unreasonable reason to elope with a man.

The intuition brought to him by years of investigation, the disappearance of this woman cannot be as simple as it appears on the surface.

So Cheng Ye took Lin Ze, Huang Rong and his party that day to enter the Yetian Pool on the grounds of morality and began to check. The foreman Huang Xiaomei laughed and wondered why the police station has been checking so frequently recently.

In fact, Cheng Ye once thought about whether to let Huang Rong, who has a gender advantage, pretend to be a waiter, infiltrate the enemy and provide them with reliable information-but when he saw the person who took the initiative to teach Lin Ze to investigate the case, he couldn't help it When the "Miss" Huang Rong yelled and couldn't hide her high-spirited expression between her eyebrows, this thought finally disappeared with the wind along with his sigh.

Of course, Cheng Ye didn't question Huang Rong's ability because he didn't like her.Director Huang usually takes great care of his only jewel in the palm of his hand. Before Huang Rong came to City S, she had been working in a civilian post such as the Relations Department of City D Branch. If it is true, she definitely does not have much actual combat experience. .

Since the trick of being a spy is not feasible for the time being, he might as well check his banner by virtue of discipline, and first go to the inside of Yetian Lake to find out what's going on.

Having said that, it is naturally impossible for Cheng Ye and the others to find anything in the bathing center.

So when everyone returned to the first floor without any success, when Huang Xiaomei was about to send them off with a bright smile, Cheng Ye unexpectedly turned back and told her straight to the point that he wanted to check the waiter's dormitory again.

At the beginning, Huang Xiaomei was quite refusing to this matter, bluntly saying that most of the residents in the back dormitory are women, and it is not appropriate for a group of old men to go there like this.

But under the coercion of Cheng Ye showing his police officer ID and refusing to back down at all, she was forced to ask the leader for instructions, and finally complied reluctantly.

However, as soon as they entered the corridor of the dormitory, Cheng Ye and the others were suffocated by a pungent low-quality perfume and a musty smell that had never seen the sun. He buried his head in the ground, completely daring not to look directly at the naked women's underwear hanging in the corridor.

There seemed to be only one woman in the crowd——Huang Rong had a frank attitude, which was in sharp contrast to the male detectives who were not easy to let go of their hands and feet. She and the foreman Huang Xiaomei walked in the forefront.

"Most of our female employees live here," Huang Xiaomei introduced as she led them inside: "This building has three floors in total. There is a corridor outside, running from east to west, with their dormitories on both sides."

It stands to reason that it is daytime now, and most of the employees should still be at work, which invisibly reduces the possibility of awkward encounters with Cheng Ye and the others.

Cheng Ye watched as he walked, and sometimes out of professional habit, he stretched out his hand to touch around, but finally pushed open a door easily - he found that the door here seemed to be unlocked.

"Aren't your doors locked here?" Cheng Ye felt very strange: "Aren't you afraid of thieves?"

Huang Xiaomei laughed after hearing this: "The whole building is connected to the outside world through the gate we entered just now. Even if a thief enters, he will not be able to escape. Besides, the police officer, we don't live here. There are no rich people here, and there is nothing to steal." Yes."

Cheng Ye carefully observed the structure of the house, and felt that there was nothing special about it. All the rooms were simple furnishings with a table in the middle of two bunk beds: "Then you have a big fire hazard, and there is only one safety exit. Don’t be afraid that you won’t be able to escape in case of fire, so remember to change it later.”

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Without listening carefully to Huang Xiaomei's answer, Cheng Ye secretly began to consider whether this closed building had other uses.

Qi Zhanzhu, who is upright by nature, also followed the captain's previous instructions to observe whether there was any abnormality in the surrounding area.He also imitated the captain, pushing the door casually and then poking his head in for a look. As a result, when he was about to walk to the end, a female voice suddenly came from the room he opened, and it sounded like he was still asleep.

"Who is it, who is making noise in the corridor during the day, disturbing our sleep..."

What followed was a pillow that was thrown out. Qi Zhanzhu immediately stopped at the door but was still smashed all over his arms:

Cheng Ye immediately asked: "Why are people still sleeping? Shouldn't they all go to work?"

"This... police officer, they are on the night shift." Huang Xiaomei laughed, her eyes flickering, obviously lying: "We have a shift system here, some people are in the daytime and some are in the evening. These girls are all The waiter on the night shift."

Cheng Ye, who happened to experience the "night shift" service here last night, looked at Huang Xiaomei with a smirk, thinking that her excuse was so bad that he didn't bother to expose her.

Everyone was still walking forward, but from the corner of Cheng Ye's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a timid figure in the corridor. Looking carefully, it was the girl who just threw the pillow out of the room.

As soon as he turned his eyes, he was immediately blessed. He didn't say hello to Huang Xiaomei, and strode over to ask the girl.

"Beauty, let me ask you, do you know which room Du Jialan lives in?"

When Huang Xiaomei heard Cheng Ye mention Du Jialan's name, she was terrified - she knew that these policemen came here for more than just a disciplinary inspection!

Although Huang Xiaomei didn't know why these policemen suddenly wanted to investigate Du Jialan, she just felt inexplicably that if she didn't stop her, the higher ups would definitely trouble her when the time came.

But when she winked at the girl, no matter how often or obviously, she was still one step behind Cheng Ye.

The girl hadn't fully woken up yet, she was still bleary-eyed while hugging the pillow, and Cheng Ye looked handsome in casual clothes, she didn't know and couldn't guess that he was a policeman, so she subconsciously pointed to a room at the end of the corridor: "The one in the innermost time, but Miss Du is not here recently..."

Cheng Ye pursed his lips and smiled at this honest girl. Thousands of peach blossoms seemed to bloom on that clear face: "Thank you!"

Then, he led his teammates aggressively towards the end of the corridor: "Check that room!"

Huang Xiaomei had no choice but to follow behind them. She also wanted to go in, but Qi Zhanzhu blocked the door with a serious face. He showed the search warrant that had just been issued and looked brand new.

"Du Jialan is involved in a criminal case, I hope you can cooperate with our work."

She had no choice but to stand anxiously at the door, watching Cheng Ye and the others rummaging around.

After everyone went in with high spirits, the enthusiasm in their hearts was instantly extinguished when they saw the furnishings in the house.

I saw that Du Jialan's room was neatly furnished, the furniture was bright, and the floor was as clean as new. From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, there were two words:

clean.

It was really too clean, the curtains on the windows, even the quilt covers and sheets on the bed were obviously newly changed—I just wondered if the person who cleaned up the room was Du Jialan who eloped with someone and ran away.

Qi Zhanzhu asked: "Have you cleaned this room?"

Huang Xiaomei didn't want to offend the police, so she quickly answered honestly: "No, no, this house has been empty since Sister Du left, and no one has come in to live in it. It must have been cleaned up by Sister Du before she left."

Cheng Ye looked at the room brightly illuminated by the sun, and his heart tightened even more, wondering how many traces Du Jialan could leave here.But he still said to everyone: "Everyone look carefully! Be sure to fight for every corner!"

In fact, this room has the same structure as the others. There are two bunk beds in the room and a square table in the center, but the overall area is a bit larger, and there are still a few nails on the wall that have not been removed in time - Cheng Ye can imagine , There should be many photos of Du Jialan hanging on the wall before.

It's just that people have deliberately removed them now.

Qi Zhanzhu stopped people at the door and was in charge of interrogating Huang Xiaomei. Gao Zhiqiang and Lin Ze searched for the table in the middle and the bed on the right. Cheng Ye was in charge of the iron bed on the left, and Huang Rong searched by the window.

The bunk beds here are very similar to those in the school dormitory. A simple iron bed frame is placed with a wooden plank on the upper and lower sides, but the groove of the bed frame here is very deep-after the wooden plank is placed, a thick layer can even be laid on it. Thick mattresses and sheets.

Perhaps because it was not easy to disassemble, Cheng Ye found a layer of dust piled up on the edge of the groove after dismantling the lower bed frame.Light things like sheets and mattresses may be changed, but few people should touch here.

Cheng Ye chose the corners to explore, the narrower and more inconspicuous the place, the more vigorously he searched.

He quickly searched the lower bunk, but unfortunately, even when he got under the bed, he couldn't find anything.

What makes him feel strange is that there is a lot of dust in the groove, but there is no dust under the bed—it seems that this place should have been cleaned before.

Did you hire a professional team to clean it?These people are really clean... Cheng Ye cursed silently, but he won't give up so easily.

So he held the railing of the upper bunk with both hands, and with the help of his arm, he easily rolled over to the upper bunk.

The view from the high place is good, and Cheng Ye can see all corners of the house clearly.

In fact, there is another thing that makes him feel strange. Du Jialan's room also has two bunk beds, and these beds don't look like they just moved in. This reminds him: Is there someone else who lives with her?

But this question is not difficult to solve, as long as he asks the girl who lives near Du Jialan, he should be able to solve it easily.

The immediate priority is to find out if there are any "fish that slipped through the net" that were accidentally left in this room.

He didn't believe it anymore, every secret has its own secrets, how could the people behind Yetianchi completely obliterate the existence of a person.

The mattress and bed sheets must be new, so Cheng Ye piled all the fabrics on the bed aside and concentrated on turning over the heavy bed boards that are not easy to be moved.

Fortunately, his fingers are slender, not as rough as ordinary men, and the joints are not too big, just enough to reach into the narrow gap between the bed board and the groove.

Touch left, explore right, nothing in front
