What's wrong with entering a rival's game?

Liang Yan sat on the sofa and couldn't sleep all night. He received a strange call in the early morning. It was called from Liang's mother's mobile phone, and there were only inexplicable breathing sounds from the other side.

Liang Yan called the other party a few times but got no response. The call was hung up after about half a minute.

At dawn, Liang Yan called Liang's mother's economic company to inform the person in charge of what happened yesterday.Due to Liang's mother's special status, the economic company put pressure on the police after reporting it to the police, and the police and authorities quickly launched an investigation.

The police and the police retrieved the roadside surveillance at that time, and found that Liang's mother got into a taxi after leaving the economic company, and the taxi stopped at a cake shop near the fork in the road.

Mother Liang went into the cake shop to buy something, and she left the cake shop about 10 minutes later. The corner after the corner was just a blind spot for surveillance. Mother must have disappeared on this section of the road.

Liang Yan's eyes were sore when he saw the surveillance. There was a cake in that cake shop that was his favorite. If Liang's mother hadn't bought cakes for herself, she would have taken a taxi directly to her house, and she wouldn't have been kidnapped halfway. .

He rubbed his swollen eyes, and followed the police to the road where the accident happened.

Behind that section of road is the old district. The place Liang's mother passed by is the entrance of a small alley, and the old district is just across the alley.The old district is a relatively dilapidated area in the city. There are basically some old houses that have not been demolished. Due to the cheap housing prices, there are residents with the lowest income in the city and some migrant workers who are struggling on the edge of life. The population is huge, so most of the crimes happen there too.

If Liang's mother is really kidnapped by the people there, it will be tricky.

Most of the housing structures in the old districts are old and complex, many are dangerous buildings, and there are many illegal buildings, so it is very difficult to check.

Liang Yan hasn't received any extortion calls from the kidnappers yet, and the police and authorities don't have much evidence to search the entire old district, and this kind of large-scale search is easy to scare the snake away.

Police Wang and Tan didn't expect to meet Liang Yan again so soon. After learning that the Liang family had no other enemies, he told Liang Yan to go home first and wait for the news.He let Liang Yan go back with peace of mind, saying that he would deploy police forces to monitor suspicious people at several exits, and sent two policemen to accompany Liang Yan home together, and installed a bugging device at home by the way, in case the kidnappers suddenly called.

Liang Yan walked back to the downstairs of his apartment in a restless state. He kept thinking about the phone call in the early morning. If the other party asked for a ransom, he must have asked for a ransom, but the simple breathing made his hair stand on end.

He was stopped by Ning Hezhi when he was about to go upstairs.

Since Ning Hezhi was dismissed, he often wandered around Liang Yan's home or school, just to catch a glimpse of Liang Yan from afar.Today, when he saw Liang Yan's pale face, looking lost, he couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

Liang Yan has no mood to pay attention to Ning Hezhi at all. Police Wang and detectives have also told Liang Yan not to easily disclose the news of Liang's mother's disappearance. Even Liang's mother's economic company is only known to a few upper-level people.

"Liang Yan...you don't look very good, what happened?" Ning Hezhi walked to Liang Yan and asked in a low voice. He knew that Liang Yan disliked him, so he bit the bullet this time.

"It's nothing, it's none of your business," Liang Yan said impatiently, "Don't come to spy on me again!"

"I..." Ning Hezhi lowered his head. It turned out that he knew that he was often watching him in secret. I am afraid that in Liang Yan's eyes, he is an out-and-out stalker.

Seeing two plainclothes men coming down from the van carrying a bunch of equipment, Liang Yan pushed Ning Hezhi away to help, and moved the equipment used for surveillance into the home.

Ning Hezhi watched from the sidelines for a long time, and got a general idea of ​​the clues. He had also assisted the police and Fang in solving several cases, and knew a thing or two about the routines of handling cases.

"Liang Yan!" He grabbed Liang Yan again, and if he guessed correctly, "Did something happen to my aunt?"

"This is my family business," Liang Yan withdrew his hand, "Hurry up, don't trouble me!"

"I treat her like my aunt's birth mother. If there is anything wrong with her, please tell me!" Ning Hezhi's tone was sincere. He had no one to love him since he was a child, and Liang's mother treated him well. He couldn't feel at ease either.

Liang Yan sighed as if compromising: "Forget it, you come up with me first and then talk about it."

After Liang Yan explained Ning Hezhi's identity to the two police officers, she acquiesced in his joining. Liang Yan told him about Liang's mother's disappearance and the weird phone calls he received.

After Ning Hezhi frowned, he asked to take a look at the surveillance, but was immediately rejected by the other two policemen and detectives. After all, Ning Hezhi lost his position as a psychologist and is now just an outsider.

Since they did not get a call from the kidnappers, the police and the police asked Liang Yan to call Liang's mother's cell phone several times, but they were all turned off. Liang Yan guessed that the phone might be out of battery, so they could not contact the kidnappers at all.

On the other side, the investigation work has also reached a deadlock. The police checked the surveillance for several days and found no suspicious persons.

On the third day of Liang's mother's disappearance, I don't know which media got wind of it and made a big report. Some reporters got Liang's address and came to Liang Yan for an interview.

Liang Yan hated these unscrupulous media that only knew about exposure. Liang's mother is still missing. If these news reports stimulate the kidnappers, they don't know what will happen.

Liang Yan asked for leave from school, and only Ning Hezhi was with him.

"You can eat a little bit," Ning Hezhi brought the takeaway to Liang Yan. These days, they were all ordering takeaway. Liang Yan didn't have the heart to cook at all, and Ning Hezhi didn't know how to cook.

"..." Liang Yan scratched his hair in pain. Liang's mother had been missing for three full days, and the police still found nothing. How could he eat and sleep.

Liang's mother had just decided to take a break from filming and take a long vacation for herself, but this kind of thing happened to her. Thinking of this, Liang Yan's heart ached. His mother had worked hard for most of her life. Don't let any accident happen at this time. I hope she can Come back safe and sound.

Seeing that Liang Yan had no appetite, Ning Hezhi took out the vegetable soup from the takeaway again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Eat a little bit, don't drag yourself down. If my aunt knows about it, I don't want you to torture yourself like this."

Liang Yan nodded slightly, took a few sips of vegetable soup: "I want to go to the police station again tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go with you," Ning Hezhi said.

"Thank you."

"Don't say that..." Seeing Liang Yan's alienation, Ning Hezhi felt a little bitter.

The next day, Liang Yan and Ning Hezhi went to the police station together. Police Wang and Tan said that several suspicious targets had been identified and further investigations were underway.To Liang Yan's disappointment, the attitude of the other party seemed very perfunctory. There has been no progress during this period of time, and all the places that can be checked have been checked. Liang's mother seems to have evaporated from the world.

The media all over the country were paying attention to this matter, and the police and authorities were already a bit overwhelmed with dealing with these people, so naturally they couldn't take Liang Yan into consideration.

Judging from the fact that the kidnappers did not ask for a ransom, it is very likely that they committed the crime randomly. This is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I want to watch the surveillance again." Liang Yan said to Police Wang and Tan.

"Xiao Zhao, take him to the file room next door and watch the surveillance again." Detective Wang and the detective called a young detective to take Liang Yan over, but he couldn't move away to greet Liang Yan.

This time, Liang Yan asked Ning Hezhi to watch the surveillance together. Ning Hezhi's analytical ability is still trustworthy.

The little detective took out the video copied from the roadside surveillance camera, and patiently played it several times for Liang Yan to watch.After several times, Liang Yan didn't find anything unusual, and then he asked to watch more videos.

The detective simply taught Liang Yan how to use the player, and let the two of them figure it out by themselves.

Most of the videos are of pedestrians coming and going, and there is nothing special about it. Liang Yan watched it several times and finally had to give up.

Just as he was about to turn off the video, Ning Hezhi suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, go back," he said, pointing to a frame.

Liang Yan rewinds the video for 5 minutes. The place where the picture is captured is the window glass of the cake shop. There is a flashing reflection on it. From Liang Yan's point of view, it is just an ordinary passerby passing by the window. I couldn't see it, but the half figure of the passerby was reflected through the glass.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yan asked.

"This dress looks familiar."

Ning Hezhi was referring to the clothes of passers-by reflected on the window glass. It was a dark yellow coat with a cartoon smiling face pattern in the middle.

Liang Yan took a closer look at the dress. He really couldn't see anything special about it, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"Did you find anything?"

"I seem to have seen it somewhere," Ning Hezhi said, "but it may have nothing to do with this matter. Sorry, I can't help you..."

"You don't need to apologize," Liang Yan said a little disappointed.

Ning Hezhi took out his mobile phone to freeze the picture, Liang Yan turned off the player, and thanked Wang and the police detectives. He decided to go to the road where the accident happened and the old district to see, and Ning Hezhi accompanied him all the way. .

At the end of the day, there was still nothing.

He returned to the apartment decadently, and fell on the sofa with his head up. The past few days were more difficult than any of his previous days. If it weren't for Ning Hezhi's company, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Liang Yan, do you have TV dramas and movies that your aunt has starred in before?" Ning Hezhi asked suddenly, sitting opposite Liang Yan.

"Yes, it's in the storage room, you can find it yourself." Liang Yan replied casually without even bothering to open his eyes.

Liang's mother has filmed six TV series and more than ten movies, each of which has a DVD collection at home. I don't know why Ning Hezhi suddenly wants to watch these.

"What did you discover?"

Ning Hezhi shook his head: "I always feel that the pattern on the clothes is familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, I guess it might be in my aunt's work, so I want to find it first, maybe there is something there."

What's so good about an ordinary dress?

Liang Yan thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. Ning Hezhi was more delicate than others in some aspects, so maybe he could really find some clues.
