The distance between the two prefecture-level cities is very short. The high-speed rail journey takes 6 to [-] minutes, and there are many trains, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.

Shang Yang did not object, and said, "But, are you going to play? Or do you want to investigate He Ziqing?"

"It depends." Jin Xu finished the rice in two or three bites, picked up his mobile phone, and said, "I booked a ticket?"

Seeing Shang Yang nodding, he booked a high-speed rail ticket on his mobile phone and said, "If you need it, I will help you to check it. If you don't need it, let's play our own and be flexible."

Later, the two checked out of the room, took their luggage to the city's high-speed rail station, checked their tickets and went to the waiting hall, and there was still a while before their train departed.

Jin Xu, who said he wanted to be "flexible and maneuverable", at this time flexibly urged Shang Yang: "Didn't your apprentice say to entertain us? Tell him, we are going now."

Shang Yang said speechlessly: "You just went to the family, so what you say depends on the situation."

Having said that, he was also very concerned about the case involving He Ziqing, so he sent a message to Gao Zhuoyue, saying that he and Jin Xu were going to pass.

Gao Zhuoyue replied in seconds: I will pick you up at the high-speed rail station!

Shang Yang said: That's fine, I'm sorry to trouble you.

Since the two of them have clear goals, they don't need to be polite with Junior Brother Xiao Gao anymore.

"If you don't get in touch with the person involved, how can you judge the situation?" Jin Xu's public security temperament is too obvious. He doesn't want to be noticed too much by other passengers, and he deliberately made a lazy posture, leaning against the back of the chair in the waiting room, and said, " I really hope that as soon as we get there, we hear that Gao Zhuang's sister has been found."

If so, that would be great.Shang Yang also hoped so.

The high-speed train flew by and sent the two to another prefecture-level city more than 50 kilometers away.

After driving for a few minutes, Jin Xu took out two mints from the restaurant just now from his pocket, one for each person.

They temporarily forgot about the case and the suspect, and just sat quietly in one place, enjoying the quarter-hour mint-flavored journey and the autumn scenery of the [-]-kilometer plain.

When he arrived at the station, Shang Yang was still sitting there in a daze. His brain, which had been running at high speed, took a break halfway, and he couldn't get back to his senses all at once.

"Or, don't get out of the car." Jin Xu said, "Go to the next city, or a place farther away."

Shang Yang exhaled, and said, "No, I don't want to worry about the case at night and not sleep well."

He kind of understood part of the reason for Jin Xu's insomnia. The criminal police work is so stressful all day long, so it's no wonder he can sleep well.

"It doesn't matter whether you get off or not," they all got up to get off the car, but Jin Xu took advantage of it and said, "I want to cherish the holiday when I can do whatever I want, and I won't let you sleep well anywhere."

As soon as they got out of the station, the two of them saw Gao Zhuoyou waiting outside. Junior Gao was not short, and he was also very energetic, which was obvious in the crowd.

The three of them just met, Shang Yang only said half a word of politeness, Gao Zhuoyue told them happily: "My sister just hid and played, she's fine, she's fine!"

Shang Yang was very surprised, Jin Xu really said it casually, right?But he was also very happy, the best thing is that people are fine, and said: "Has He Ziqing gone home yet?"

"That's not true." Gao Zhuoyue's smile was faint, with a bit of brotherly helplessness, and he said, "She posted a Moments message this morning to report her safety."

Shang Yang was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Jin Xu, what a coincidence?Her family was looking for her, and the police were looking for her, so she just sent a Moments message to report her safety?

Jin Xu said, "Can you show me what she sent?"

Gao Zhuoyue was a little dazed, but still said: "Of course."

He turned on the phone, opened He Ziqing's circle of friends, and turned the screen of the phone to show Jin Xu, but Jin Xu didn't come close and reached out to take his phone.

Ordinary young people, who would be willing to hand over their mobile phones to others?Who knows if the other party will flip around?

Gao Zhuoyue's mental activity at this time is probably similar to this.

But Jin Xu insisted on taking the phone to watch, and Gao Zhuoyue finally gave it to him.

Shang Yang waited for Jin Xu to get it in his hand, then leaned over to take a look. It was a selfie video of a girl, with an exaggerated filter added to distort facial features, and the soundtrack was also very cheerful.

Below is a comment posted by Gao Zhuoyou at noon: Can I call home?

Jin Xu glanced at Shang Yang, and Shang Yang understood his intention tacitly, and said to Gao Zhuoyue: "Xiao Gao, where is the car parked? Why don't we talk while walking? The weather here is pretty good..." A bunch of nonsense .

Taking advantage of Gao Zhuoliang's answer to Shang Yang's words, Jin Xu quickly opened He Ziqing's profile picture.

"Go this way to the basement." Gao Zhuozhuo looked at Jin Xu, and Jin Xu returned the phone to him with a calm look.

Gao Zhuoyue led the way, and Jin Xu blinked at Shang Yang, which meant that there was something to gain.As for the harvest, Shang Yang does not know for the time being.

After getting into Gao Zhuoyou's car, Shang Yang still sat in the passenger seat, and Jin Xu was in the back row.

"Didn't you ask the police to check the location of He Ziqing's phone?" Jin Xu said.

"I checked, but I can't locate it," Gao Zhuoyue thought it was the two brothers who wanted to help find He Ziqing, and he didn't rush to drive. He turned sideways and replied, "The police said that she might have pulled out the SIM card and didn't want to receive calls. Short message."

Jin Xu said: "Then when was the last location? Where is it?"

Gao Zhuoyue said: "On the night of the 27th, in her rented house."

Shang Yang was surprised: "She rented a house outside?"

"Yes." Gao Zhuoyue said with a face of not knowing what to say, "She didn't tell the family either. The police just took me and my uncle to the house at noon, and we didn't know that my sister was in her house." I rented a house less than 1000 meters away from my home. I ran away from home before, and sometimes I lived in that house for a few days. The landlord said that my sister didn’t often live there. Went off to play elsewhere."

On their way back from the city next door in the morning, because they had confirmed that the body of the burned woman was not their own girl, the family felt a sense of survival after the catastrophe, and hoped to find He Ziqing who had lost contact as soon as possible. Contact people from all walks of life who have relatives, contact He Ziqing's friends and classmates, and ask to see if anyone has seen He Ziqing.

On the way, they suddenly discovered that He Ziqing had posted on Moments. Naturally, they hurriedly called her, but they didn't get through, and they sent a WeChat message, but still no one answered.That's why Gao Zhuoyue left a message under that circle of friends, hoping that He Ziqing could call home.

After returning to the city, the three went directly to the police station, formally called the police, and asked the police to help locate the mobile phone. The result was that they could not locate the phone, but after the last location, they found the house that He Ziqing was renting.

The two senior brothers are more aware of the current progress of the cremation case than Junior Brother Xiao Gao. The relationship between He Ziqing and the cremation case may be far more than a simple purse theft, resulting in the items appearing at the cremation scene.

The criminal police in this city should soon receive, or have already received, a request from the criminal police in the neighboring city to assist in handling the case. For the cremation case, it is necessary to find out where He Ziqing is, the origin of the evidence, and more importantly, He Ziqing and Whether the three people in the case are related, or the case will not be closed.

As for Gao Zhuoyue's family and He's family, they are still not so clear about this, and they think that the burning case has nothing to do with their family.

Otherwise, Gao Zhuoyue would not be in the mood to "entertain" the brothers at this time.

"I'll take you guys to put your luggage away first, and then we'll talk about the next step." Gao Zhuozhuo said, "I wanted to invite you to stay at home, but my dad is sick, and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the house is too strong, so he feels embarrassed, so let's live outside , my dad helped you arrange a hot spring hotel, which is very famous in our local area..."

Shang Yang hurriedly said, "You're welcome, we've already booked a place to stay."

Gao Zhuoyue still wanted to be polite, but Shang Yang insisted on going to the place he had booked. Finally, Gao Zhuoyue saw that he was in a hurry, so he had to give up and drove away from the high-speed rail station.

"Don't rush to put your luggage," Jin Xu said, "Take us to the house that your cousin rented? Do you have the key?"

Gao Zhuoyue still thought that the brothers wanted to help find his sister, and said: "Yes, you can go and see, but there is nothing in the house, and the landlord also said that my sister has rented it for several months, and the water and electricity bills are also there. Not much use."

Leave the basement of the high-speed rail station and walk onto the main road.

Gao Zhuozhuo said to Shang Yang, the co-driver: "If my dad hadn't had gout and couldn't walk, he would have come to pick you up in person. When I came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, he heard me say that you are only over [-] and you are the deputy police inspector, so he said wait. When did I go to Beijing, I must see you."

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu was watching the fun from behind, and he didn't think it was a big deal, and said, "It's okay to meet, don't introduce your partner, Director Shang has it."

Shang Yang didn't really turn his head to stare at him, but the back of his head expressed the meaning of staring at him.

"I've heard of it." Gao Zhuoyue had heard about Director Shang's leaving the order, but he didn't know very well, so he flattered Jin Xu again and said, "Brother Jin, you are also very good."

"It's okay," Jin Xu said seriously, "I've been trying to catch up with Director Shang."

Shang Yang: "..."

Gao Zhuoyue didn't understand the second meaning of those words, and he echoed with a smile, before continuing: "I told my dad before I went out just now, the person who came with our director was a captain of the National Security Department of the X Provincial Department. I heard that you were only in your early thirties, and you scolded me on the spot, saying that he didn’t expect me to be like you two in my thirties, and to be at the same level in my forties or fifty, that’s because my ancestors burned high incense.”

After hearing what he said, the two senior brothers couldn't figure it out?At such a young age, this little junior is in a better state than Director Gu. It seems that he was taught well at home, and his father who works in an agency is so "hopeful for his son to become a dragon".

After driving for a while, Jin Xu poked out his phone from behind Shang Yang and showed him something.

Shang Yang saw that it was a work on a short video platform. The girl talking to the camera in the video was none other than He Ziqing. Jin Xu turned his phone to silent playback, but there were subtitles at the bottom of the video, which did not delay Shang Yang's attention. Young understands.

Because there was no sound, and the two of them didn't discuss it, Gao Zhuoyue only thought that the brothers shared some Internet news, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Shang Yang watched the muted video, and also noticed that He Ziqing's nickname on the short video platform was the same as his WeChat nickname. It seemed that Jin Xu had memorized this ID on Gao Zhuoyue's phone just now. I tried to search on the platform where I played, and then I found this account and this video.

After understanding what the video was talking about, Shang Yang also had an answer to a previous question in his heart, and he also understood why He's father, mother, cousin Gao Zhuoyue and He Ziqing would always talk about whether they were close or not, or whether they were close or not. The subtle relationship between sparse and not sparse.

This city is smaller than the city next door, and the car only took more than ten minutes to drive from the high-speed rail station at one end of the city to the other end.

Arrived outside the gate of a community, this community is a family building of a certain unit, the building is old, there is no parking space, no basement, and the gate is narrow, the high-quality big BMW can't drive in at all, so you can only look for it on the roadside outside the gate. parking space.

The three got out of the car, Shang Yang talked with Gao Zhuoyue, and noticed Jin Xu from the corner of his eye, who was already observing the coverage of the surveillance cameras in this community.

Gao Zhuoyue came here in the morning, and I still remember it clearly. He brought two senior brothers into the gate of one of the units. There was no elevator. He walked up to the sixth floor. There are three households in one elevator. He took out the key and opened one of the doors. .

The old house itself has a musty smell, and the people who live in it are better. If it is not popular for a long time, the musty smell will be even greater.

"Wait a minute." Jin Xu stopped Gao Zhuang who was about to enter the room, took out gloves and shoe covers from his pocket, and gave Shang Yang and Gao Zhuoyue a set.

Both he and Shang Yang put them on.Gao Zhuoliang didn't realize until now that this matter seemed to be different from what he understood, but at this moment he couldn't help asking again. When the two senior brothers entered the door, he hurriedly put on shoe covers and gloves, and followed them carefully.

Jin Xu looked around and asked Gao Zhuoyue: "Who has come in this morning? Have you touched anything inside?"

Gao Zhuoyue said: "The two policemen at the police station, me, and my uncle... haven't touched anything, there is nothing here."

Shang Yang was almost laughed at by this seemingly shrewd apprentice who was indifferent to public security, and said, "Where have you touched? Have you ever sat on the sofa or bed? Have you ever used the bathroom?"

"I didn't sit down, I didn't go into the bathroom, and the police didn't touch anything. I opened the closet, and my uncle opened the drawer of the bedside table to look." Fortunately, Gao Zhuoyue had a good memory and counted them one by one.

Jin Xu came out of the bedroom and said: "Xiao Gao is right, there is indeed nothing here, the wardrobe and the bedside table are both empty."

Gao Zhuoyue said: "The landlord said that she doesn't come here often, so I guess she only comes here occasionally to sleep for one or two nights."

"No, at least recently, she has been here for several days." Jin Xu pointed to the bathroom and said, "The used tampons in the wastebasket."

Gao Zhuoyue: "..."

He didn't dare to express his opinion anymore, he just watched the two senior brothers examine carefully and seriously in the room.

Shang Yang noticed a calendar card of anime characters hanging on the wall of the living room. It was an anime character he recognized. After taking a second look, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Xiao Gao, give me another look at He Ziqing's circle of friends."

Gao Zhuo hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and showed Shang Yang the short video Moments.

Shang Yang clicked on the video, then looked up at the calendar, and asked Jin Xu, "Look at it, isn't it right?"

Jin Xu came over to take a look, and at a glance he saw the point that Shang Yang wanted him to see.

In He Ziqing's circle of friends, in the video posted this morning, there is also a calendar hanging on the wall behind her. The selfie video is obviously for playing with that exaggerated filter. The background is not the focus, so only the lower part of the calendar is captured. The half part, from July to December, does not see the year, but the number of weeks corresponding to the date on the calendar card is different from the current year's calendar on the wall.

The calendar in the video is not this year's calendar, but last year's.

Moreover, Shang Yang also remembered the filter added in He Ziqing's video. He had seen others use it before. This is not a new one, it was popular for a while last year.

"This video was probably shot last year." Jin Xu said.

"Choose such a time," Shang Yang said, "I deliberately posted such a circle of friends, just to make people think that He Ziqing still..."

He didn't go on, some words would be too direct in front of He Ziqing's relative Gao Zhuoyou.

Gao Zhuoyue was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't you want to say that my sister...is gone?"
