never forget [criminal investigation]

"Brother Xingyue?" Xu Dayang's lazy and forcibly warm voice came from the phone.

"Brother Dayang." Xing Yue greeted him back like that.

"The last time you came to look for me, you thought you were planning to come back to play again, but you didn't see anyone after waiting for a few days. What's the matter, do you still remember your brother? Will you really never come here again?" Xu Dayang's tone seemed quite relaxed. , Xing Yue could even hear him smoking.

But this is just polite, the sudden call from someone who has not been in touch with for almost two years is definitely not for reminiscing about the old days.What's more, his friendship with Xu Dayang has not reached that level at all.

"It's nothing, it's been a long time, it won't happen. I really want to play, but I don't have time." Xing Yue just followed him like that.

"Then take the time to come over and play a few laps some other day. I recently got a few new cars. It's so exciting! I think you are a perfect match!"

"Okay, let's go and have a look someday."

"Then let's say we're dead, we must come! Brothers really miss you. Hey, don't think too much, we'll just play, run around, and don't bring anything else."

Xing Yue's eyes sank, and the fingers holding the phone were obviously exerting force, and the fingertips turned white.

So he switched the phone to his left hand again, "Brother Dayang said so, I must go. I'll go when I'm done with the case at hand."

"Haha! Brother Xing Yue is open-minded! Then I'll just wait!" Xu Dayang seemed very happy on the phone, as if he was satisfied with Xing Yue's answer, so it was time to transition to the main topic.

"I called you today, mainly to talk about such a thing." The other end of the phone took a puff of cigarette, and then spit it out, "Didn't you ask me about Li Zhen that day? The matter is now at ease. Coincidentally, I had dinner with a buddy this morning, and when we were chatting, Li Zhen came up, and he said that he seemed to see that kid yesterday."

Xing Yue sat up from the bed all at once, "Where did you see that?"

Feeling the change in Xing Yue's tone, Xu Dayang was even more proud, "In a bar in the suburbs of Mingzhou."

"Mingzhou?"

"Yes. There is also a club over there. There was a match yesterday. My buddy went there to play. In the evening, a group of people went to the bar to drink, and then saw a person. I think it should be Li Zhen."

"Are you sure?"

"How should I put it?" Xu Dayang smacked his lips, "I can only say that it is about the same."

"He hasn't seen Li Zhen for more than a year. Don't talk about him. Even if I saw him, I might not be able to recognize him at a glance. And there were a lot of people in a mess at that time. He just saw a person from a distance and shook a few times. I couldn’t find it anymore. He also said that maybe Li Zhen had something wrong with me before, and he was embarrassed to come and play, so he went all the way to Mingzhou. Don’t rush yourself Once you greet someone, you’ll be pulled down.”

"Brother Dayang, can you give me the phone number of your buddy? I'll ask him in detail."

"Tsk, this..." Xu Dayang looked very embarrassed.

Xing Yue also expressed his understanding, and immediately said, "Then can you help me find out in detail, where is the bar and what is its name?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the time, "I'm leaving for Mingzhou now, if you ask any news, can you call me as soon as possible?"

"Okay, that's no problem. Then I'll contact him now." Xu Dayang readily agreed.

"Then thank you, Brother Dayang. By the way, it's best not to let the fourth person know about this."

"Hey, I understand! I'm so tight-lipped!" Xu Dayang laughed haha, obviously forgetting that he turned his head and told Xing Yue what his buddy said, "Brother Xing Yue, wait for my call. Hey, that's right. , I must come here, I can wait."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Yue returned to the office immediately.When he entered the door, he saw that Lao Tang's team had already returned and was busy eating.

"Where's Lao Qin?" Xing Yue scanned around, but didn't see Qin Peng.

"I'm going to Bureau Xu." Zhang Xiaowei came over to talk.

"Oh." Interrupted by Xu Dayang, Xing Yue seemed to have forgotten the episode just now.

He went to get the car keys and said, "Xiaowei, come with me to Mingzhou."

"Now?" Zhang Xiaowei was surprised.

"Yes." Xing Yue took the key and poured another half a glass of water, "Erhe, when Lao Qin comes back, you and him..."

Just as he was talking, Qin Peng came in.

"It's just in time for you to come back," Xing Yue walked towards Qin Peng, "I just received the news that someone saw Li Zhen in a bar in Mingzhou, so I will take Xiaowei there. Wait for you to help me with Mingzhou Say hello, explain the situation, and see if they can send two people to assist us, and I will tell you the details of the bar later on the way."

"Then you take Erhe to the No. [-] Prison, bring Gao Xuanyu up, and ask him about his relationship with Feng Yan back then, then collect blood samples, and test DNA as soon as possible when you come back."

After thinking about it, I added another sentence, "Try it out, if he doesn't know about the child, don't mention Li Zhen to him."

"Yes." Qin Peng agreed while listening.

Seeing that Xing Yue was about to leave, he called him back, "That... Team Xing, Bureau Xu asked me to tell you to talk to him if you have time. If you are busy with a case, just, let's talk. "

Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Peng, and quickly looked away, "Oh, what, explain it to Bureau Xu for me, just say that I went to Mingzhou. Thank him for me."

"Okay." Qin Peng agreed, but his eyes were still a little worried.

Just now in Bureau Xu's office, Xu Feng asked him specifically how Xing Yue felt after reading the file.

He just said it was nothing special and everything was normal.Xu Feng sighed and asked him to tell Xing Yue that if he wanted to come over and have a chat with him.

But Xing Yue obviously didn't want to talk.

Mingzhou is north of the Dongjiang River, and the distance between the two cities is nearly 300 kilometers.Zhang Xiaowei was driving along the way, and Xing Yue was on the phone non-stop.

Xu Dayang really gave a lot of news.Including the name of the bar, its location, and even the phone number of the club owner in Mingzhou.

He immediately told Qin Peng the information, and asked him to contact his colleagues in Mingzhou immediately, and try to send someone there before they arrived, and it would be best to provide them with some valuable information.

Then he called Old Tang again.Let him arrange for the two of them to replace Zheng Shuanghe and focus on investigating the social relations of Li Zhen's family in Mingzhou.

Not long after it was quiet, the phone rang again.It is a brother unit over there in Mingzhou.They have arranged their manpower and are waiting at the exit of the expressway.Because the club and bar were in the suburbs of Mingzhou, not far from the expressway exit, they chose to meet Xing Yue and the others there.

After running for nearly 200 kilometers, the phone was hot, and it was completely quiet.Xing Yue felt smoke coming from his throat, but after searching for a long time, there was no bottle of water in the car.

"Brother Xing, do you want to buy a few bottles of water at the service area in front?" Zhang Xiaowei asked while driving.

"Forget it, bear with it for a while." Xing Yue leaned back in his chair, finally having time to light a cigarette.Going to the service area at this time will take at least 15 minutes.

After getting off the highway, the police from Mingzhou were already waiting there.Several people greeted each other, and the two cars drove straight to the bar.

This area is a resort in the suburbs of Mingzhou, guarding a large lake, surrounded by mountains, shaded by green trees, and the scenery is very good.

There are many restaurants and bars around the resort, and Xing Yue and the others went to one of them.

Find the bar owner and show him Li Zhen's photo.The boss looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said he had no impression.

He called another waiter who was on duty that day to identify him, but he also said he hadn't seen it.

Since it's not the bar's business hours yet, most of the waiters on duty didn't come that day, and some simply took a rest today.

So Xing Yue asked the bar owner to call some of the employees who were going to work today in advance, and the other employees who were on vacation also asked for their contact information.

After asking all the waiters on duty that day, the information they got was: Li Zhen should have come alone that day, and they didn't see him chatting with anyone, and no one went to contact him.He just sat at the bar and drank by himself, watching the racing clips on TV.Sit for about half an hour.The time to leave was around 9:[-] pm.

No one saw how he came and how he left.There is no surveillance inside or outside the bar.

The only monitoring on this street is at the gate of a hotel 600 meters away from Bar [-], but the monitoring range is very limited.Then there is the traffic monitoring at the traffic light at the intersection of the main road before turning into Bar Street.

So Xing Yue asked two colleagues from Mingzhou to help him obtain the surveillance video of the traffic lights and the hotel gate, and do a screening.Look at the vehicles that turned into Bar Street after passing the red street light between 8:10 and [-]:[-] last night, but there were no vehicles that appeared in front of the hotel.

After thanking the two of you, let people go back first.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and I was too embarrassed to ask them to accompany them to work overtime, and I had to rely on others to help check the monitoring.

After bidding farewell to the comrades in Mingzhou, Xing Yue and Zhang Xiaowei rushed to the racing track six or seven kilometers away from Bar Street without stopping.The boss is not there yet.I asked several employees, and they all said that they had no impression of Li Zhen.

Xing Yue continued to contact the owner of the racing track and learned that he was eating seafood at a restaurant in the city center.So the two went all the way to the restaurant again.

The owner of the racing track looked at Li Zhen's photo and said he had met him twice.The first time should have been a few months ago, and the second time was just yesterday.But he said that Li Zhen didn't ride a bicycle here, and he didn't see anyone with him, he just sat there and watched by himself.The boss even went over to say hello to him, and seeing that he didn't intend to chat, it was fine.

I have been busy all the way until now, except to confirm that Li Zhen has indeed appeared here, there are no other valuable clues.The only thing that can be counted on right now is the investigation results of those two monitoring sections.

When Xing Yue drove Zhang Xiaowei back to Dongjiang, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.

The two of them didn't talk much on the way, because they really didn't have any extra energy.Tired, hungry, and thirsty, they just want to go home quickly.

Passing by a gas station, Xing Yue drove in to refuel.

Zhang Xiaowei said with a dull expression that he was about to starve to death, so Xing Yue went in to buy him something to eat and a few bottles of water along the way.

While waiting for the checkout, he had time to look at his phone.In half a day, a lot of new news has accumulated on WeChat.

When he saw the red number 3 on Xiang Hai's head portrait, his brain boomed, and he returned to the world with a tired body.

Finished calf.

Just flirtatiously said to invite people to dinner, and then there is no more.Is this what people do?

If I say this, even a scumbag like Fang Qiao will laugh at himself.

He hastily clicked on the dialog box with Xiang Hai, eagerly reading it.During the period, my hands were shaking, and I almost didn't drop my phone on the ground.

-I'm sorry, Brother Xing, I went to the police at noon, so I didn't bother to check my phone.In the evening, I have enough to spare, and I have as much as I want.Let me know when you set a good time later, I will be there.

-Brother Xing, I'm home from get off work.Are you busy there?No, let's change another day.

-Brother Xing, are you okay?

These are three text messages with sound effects.

The plain text was displayed on the phone screen with Xiang Hai's pleasant voice.Xing Yue could even tell from the non-existent tone that Xiang Hai was not unhappy, nor did he blame him for being a scumbag.

He immediately returned a message to Xiang Hai.After typing the next word, I gave up and dialed the voice directly.

"Brother Xing?" Xiang Hai quickly picked it up.The real sound came to his ears, and it sounded better than what he imagined.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xing Yue was the first to speak out, and he apologized three times in a row, "I'm so fucking sorry for you. Really Xiang Hai, I really forgot. After sending you a message at noon, I I got some clues in the next case, and then I have been busy until now. I really didn't mean to let you dove!"

Xing Yue was afraid that words would not be enough to express his apology, so he made up for it with speed.

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Hai laughed, "Oh, stop, Brother Xing, how many times have you said sorry for this sentence, what's the point? I knew you must be busy if you didn't reply to the message. It was just that I was worried later Yes, I thought you wouldn't run into any trouble."

Hearing this, Xing Yue's heart immediately felt warm, as if covered with a small blanket, warm and fluffy.

"I went to Mingzhou in the afternoon and have been running until now. I haven't returned to Dongjiang yet, so I guess... there are still 100 kilometers left."

"Huh? What time is it...it's twelve o'clock. Are you driving?"

"No, let's work hard here. Didn't I see your news just now?"

"Hey." Xiang Hai sighed, "Brother Xing, your voice is hoarse, have you been eating or drinking?"

Xing Yue was so moved that he almost cried.So he wrapped the small blanket even tighter, and pulled it tightly, "No, I don't care about it. I bought two bottles of water and two breads at the gas station at the moment, and I can make do with one bite."

"Then will you return to the game later?"

"I won't go back, just go home, and it will be useless if I endure it any longer."

"Then, why don't you bear it for a while, brother Xing, and stop eating bread. I, I'll order you a takeaway, and I'll deliver it to you when you get home."

God!O earth!Whose little angel is this?How can you be so considerate!

Xing Yue felt that if he had a tail, he would definitely be able to shake the eight-level gale at this time.

"No need, this, this is too much trouble for you. Besides, what time is it, where is there any takeaway?" Then he was disgusted by his hypocrisy again.

"What's the trouble?" Xiang Hai was quite serious, "I know there is a restaurant that is open 7*24 hours, and the taste is not bad. Give me a message before you get home, and I'll wait downstairs at your house."

"This, it's not good, I clearly said that I want to invite you." Xing Yue suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and continued to play that low-ranking scheming man.

"Tsk, just say whether you want to eat or not?"

"eat."

Xiang Hai laughed, "Okay, then I'll wait for your call. Well, be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Xing Yue held up the phone, until there was a beeping sound, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

He touched his nose.

That orange-flavored good mood seems to be back again.
