in the police station.

The new members of the task force were sitting in the office. After everyone introduced themselves one by one, they began to match.

"This is all the information we have." Chen Zhao pushed the information in his hand onto the table, his expression could not hide his exhaustion, obviously trying to pull himself together.

The special case team is a group of old men in their 40s, all of whom are heavy smokers. They sit on a chair and glance over a row of people with serious faces copied and pasted. After listening to Chen Zhao say every doubtful point, , did not make a suggestion hastily, but said first to see the crime scene.

The crime scene of the first case has not been found so far, so they went to the unfinished building behind the school. When passing by the school, Chen Zhao saw that there were already people in and out of the school. Back to school.

There are still more than ten days before the start of school, but some high school seniors have already started to go back to school to study, preparing to sprint for this year's college entrance examination.

Five months is both long and short. Most of the students are [-] or [-] years old and understand the importance of learning. They are all gearing up for the college entrance examination. Chen Zhao stopped at the school gate and squinted. Looking into the school with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly remembered Xie Yu's appearance.

Xie Yu is also taking the college entrance examination this year.

If it wasn't for this accident, Xie Yu should be going to school in this school now, studying, and wearing a heavy and dull winter school uniform, crowded in the classroom with a bunch of kids to study, or going out in twos and threes to skip class and play games, Either way, it's better than the current situation.

Chen Zhao took a deep breath, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows heavily.

Now, it is 08:30 in the morning, and it has been fourteen hours since Xie Yu disappeared.

The special case team was still investigating unfinished buildings, Chen Zhao stood in front of the school gate for a while, and then entered the school by accident.

Chen Zhao actually wanted to check around the school a long time ago, but the school was not open before, the students and teachers were not there, and he had never been here, so now he happened to wander around and ask some teachers for questions.

What Chen Zhao was looking for was Xie Yu's teacher. Xie Yu's teachers didn't know about Xie Yu's disappearance. They only thought that Chen Zhao came to know about Xie Yu's academic performance, so they pulled Chen Zhao to persuade him earnestly. The general idea is to let Xie Yu study hard, and still have the opportunity to enter a good university.

Sitting in the teacher's office, Chen Zhao really wanted to ask some questions about the case, such as asking Chen Qiang, Zhao Yangyang, who they usually get along with, and whether there is anything weird in school, but when he looked at When the teacher spread out Xie Yu's report card, it was difficult for him to open his mouth again.

Xie Yu's report card shows Xie Yu's grades since he entered school, and there are some papers. Xie Yu's handwriting is beautiful, with sharp strokes, horizontal and vertical, and you can tell that he is a person with a crisp personality.

Chen Zhao briefly looked through the information, and saw the photo of Xie Yu just entering school.

Xie Yu in the first year of high school is still a little green, his bones are not open, his eyebrows and eyes are a little immature, he doesn't smile when facing the camera, his eyes are slightly squinted, and there is a little arrogance between his brows, which is quite eye-catching.

Looking at Xie Yu in the photo, Chen Zhao seemed to see Xie Yu standing in front of him in the hospital in a daze.

The voice, appearance and appearance are still in front of my eyes.

Chen Zhao's chest froze, and he felt that a pair of scissors had scratched his skin, and all his energy leaked out through this opening, making him unable to concentrate on thinking about things, and his thinking was like a puddle. loose sand,

Chen Zhao smiled wryly, stretched out his hand and rubbed his tired cheeks, and finally understood what it means for a doctor not to heal himself.

As long as personal feelings are mixed in, it will be difficult for him to remain calm and sharp.

"Sorry to bother you." After asking some more questions, Chen Zhao stood up and said goodbye to the teacher.

The teacher sent Chen Zhao out politely, and as he went out, he said casually: "Xie Yu is quite talented, he is a very good child, if he can be trained well, he will be a pillar of the future." It's just that this child is too rebellious now, disobedient, and doesn't like to study, parents had better pay more attention to this aspect."

When they came out of the office, Chen Zhao happened to see a man in shabby cleaning clothes cleaning up the trash can in the corner. Sensing someone approaching, the cleaning man subconsciously avoided it.

At this moment, Chen Zhao noticed him.

Ordinary cleaners do avoid people passing by when they are working, but the other party subconsciously turned his face away, and it was indoors. The other party was wearing a hat on his head and gloves on his hands. Chen Zhao passed him from his right side and walked to his left side, but he couldn't see his complete face from every angle.

He was deliberately avoiding Chen Zhao's sight.

Chen Zhao paused when he went downstairs, and then walked down slowly.

The head teacher next to him was still talking to Chen Zhao. This is a very responsible teacher. Chen Zhao chatted with her intentionally or unintentionally. After going downstairs, he suddenly mentioned the cleaner: "Is that hired by the school? "

"Oh, you mean that cleaner just now?" The head teacher smiled and said, "It's considered hired, he is a poor man, there was a fire in his house before, his face was burned, and his hands were covered He had a burn scar and couldn’t find a formal job, so our principal saw him as pitiful, so we gave him a job to deal with garbage, and gave him 2000 yuan a month, which was enough for him to make ends meet.”

Chen Zhao did some calculations. Giving 2000 yuan to a cleaner already counts as charity.

In a small place like theirs, many college students who come back find jobs in public institutions, and only about [-] yuan a month, such as serving dishes, can earn [-] yuan, but not many.

The two of them chatted briefly again, and Chen Zhao walked out of the teaching building, and the head teacher didn't send him any more. When the head teacher returned, Chen Zhao walked around the school, and by the way, he went to find the cleaner who the head teacher told him about. residence.

Through the class teacher's words, Chen Zhao knew the cleaner's residence, which was in a bungalow near the school.

The economy of their small town was not developed, and the urban construction was not complete. There was a section of buildings and another section of bungalows. Chen Zhao found the house of the cleaning staff very easily.

The residence of the cleaning staff is very obvious. He lived in a house that had been burned. Although it has undergone a series of repairs, traces of the past can still be seen.

Chen Zhao didn't go in, but looked around outside the door with arms crossed.

He has always paid attention to evidence in handling cases. The reason why he focused on this cleaning staff was the dark orange clothes that the cleaning staff wore.

At that time in the hospital, the person who entered behind Xie Yu and Chen Qiang was wearing such clothes.

Chen Zhao stepped on it, and turned back to the school. He was going to ask the principal of the school to find out the situation first. At that time, he deliberately walked in the direction of the trash can, but he didn't see the cleaner.

Chen Zhao looked at the trash can. There was still garbage in the trash can, but the cleaner had disappeared, and he left without finishing his job.

A bad premonition flashed through Chen Zhao's head. He vaguely felt that he might have missed something, but he didn't catch your inspiration. Just as Chen Zhao was thinking about it, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Chen Zhao came back to his senses and connected the phone.

The person on the other side of the phone is Baozi, and Baozi has been very busy these days. The little girl's voice is hoarse, and through a phone call, she said to Chen Zhao with a little anxiety and excitement: "Team Chen, go back to the bureau first, Kidnapper... No, there is a video from the clown, and there is news about Xie Yu."

Chen Zhao's head buzzed, and without even thinking about it, he left the trash can with some doubts, and took a taxi all the way back to the bureau.

When he came back, all the people involved in the clown case in the bureau came back. A group of people sat in front of the meeting room, looking at the big screen in the meeting room with very bad expressions.

The screen in the meeting room has been repaired. When Chen Zhao came in, he saw Xie Yu's magnified face on the screen.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, the curtains of the conference room were drawn, the light was dim, and the lights in the room were not turned on. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen.

The movement of Chen Zhao entering the door attracted some people's attention, but in the next second, everyone looked at the screen again.

Chen Zhao stood on the spot and took a breath, then slowly walked to the screen, and asked Baozi who was standing beside him: "What's the situation?"

He didn't even notice how hoarse his voice was.

"Twelve minutes ago, we received an online video." Baozi's face was also ugly, she scratched her scalp wearily, and said, "It was sent directly to my computer. I was sorting out the data, and the computer suddenly Black screen, and then saw the face of the clown."

When mentioning the clown, Baozi paused, and then continued: "The clown... He said that Xie Yu rejected his proposal, which disappointed him, but he is still willing to give Xie Yu a chance, as long as Xie Yu is fast enough , or, we're fast enough."

Following Baozi's words, the camera on the screen began to move backwards, and Chen Zhao clearly saw everything on the screen.

Xie Yu was sitting in a square cage. The cage was suspended in the air, and there was a pool under the cage.

But there is more than one person in the cage, there is another person.

Xie Yu and the other party each occupied a corner. The man's face could not be seen on the video, but only a side face could be vaguely seen. As soon as Chen Zhao saw the side face, he immediately concluded that it was Yue Long.

No one knew Yue Long's face better than Chen Zhao.

As soon as he saw Yue Long, Chen Zhao's heart sank suddenly - the clown came prepared.

"I..." When Baozi saw the two people, his voice froze suddenly, and then he spoke out word by word with difficulty: "The clown said, this is a water cage, and it will sink in half an hour. Underwater, they'll both die, and if we find them, they'll survive, or...or, they'll take out the key themselves and get out of the dungeon."

"Where is the key?" Chen Zhao had a bad premonition in his heart.

Baozi closed his eyes, took a light breath, and said slowly: "The two of them hold each other, in... their stomachs."
