Swallowing the Seas

"That bitch!" A tall, dark, [-]-year-old girl with disheveled hair sat down on the sofa and screamed, "What's missing?! She stole my things and ran away!"

Gao Ling rents a simple one-bedroom house in an urban village near the Sili River. The east corner of the living room is a "kitchen" surrounded by boilers and stoves, and the west corner is a "utility room" formed by cartons, empty bottles, and plastic stools. , the south corner was divided by a faded printed plastic sheet into a small square inch, and once the mattress was placed on the floor, there was no room to turn around. It was her nest.

"Gao Ling, 17 years old, dropped out of junior high school, and worked in a bathing center with the owner Liu Li. Five months ago, Liu Li asked an underground black intermediary to rent this place. One month ago, Gao Ling came here and rented the living room from Liu Li privately. , and began to form a roommate relationship. At noon on May 500, Liu Li went out to 'go to work'. When she returned home early in the morning on May [-], she found that her laptop and [-] yuan in cash were missing, and Gao Ling's luggage was missing. There was no trace, and no one could be contacted. Liu Li came to the Silihe Police Station to report the case that afternoon, but the case has not been filed yet.”

While speaking, Meng Zhao handed Bu Chonghua a piece of paper, which was an alarm receipt issued by the police station, which listed the characteristics of the computer that Liu Li had dictated at the beginning—a second-hand home-made notebook with a discount of up to five hundred, and the total amount stolen could exceed one thousand. .

"Nian Xiaoping died in the area under the jurisdiction of Silihe. The police station has been so busy these days that they have no time to carefully investigate where Gao Ling is. Besides, no one has noticed her disappearance except Liu Li. Parents, relatives, friends and colleagues all No; even the manager on duty at the bathing center said that girls like them are paid daily wages, they come and go too frequently, and it is common for them to go to work at other places without saying hello, and no one will notice that they are missing. .”

Bu Chonghua looked at the small and dark room and said nothing, but Zhang Xiaoli, the intern policeman brought by Meng Zhao, couldn't help but ask, "Have you got any evidence?"

Meng Zhao took it for granted: "Where did you mention it, grassroots, you don't even have a case."

Zhang Xiaoli was stunned, obviously he was still a naive kid who hadn't been polished by reality.

"Does Gao Ling have any friends? Did she speak or behave strangely a few days before she disappeared? What personal items disappeared with her?" Wu Yu asked while sitting on the bench opposite Liu Li, holding a pen and paper.

Liu Li has slender eyes and a small pointed face. She wears suspenders and wears a pair of faded plastic slippers. Her whole body is full of savage and hot energy. She is obviously hostile to the police. The shifts are not together, and I come back every morning. How do I know where that bitch went. Aren’t your police very awesome? Why can’t you even find out this, and serve the people and call it fake?”

"What personal items disappeared with her?"

"I said it all, how would I know! She only has those two ragged clothes and two ripped lipsticks. If it weren't for her strength, it would be impossible for a man to look at her twice! She has a fart personal item!"

Wu Yu went forward to look through the case materials, and Gao Ling's two-inch bareheaded photo appeared on the front page. Sure enough, apart from the dusty atmosphere of coming out early to mess with society, in terms of facial features alone, she was a delicate girl like Nian Xiaoping.

"So you and Gao Ling don't usually chat much?"

Liu Li glared at Wu Yu, but didn't say anything, and as if thinking of something, she moved her butt to the edge of the sofa, and deliberately brushed her hair: "Let's chat."

"What are you talking about?"

Liu Li presumptuously looked Wu Yu up and down, and asked without answering, "How old is the handsome policeman?"

"What are you talking about?"

Liu Li squinted at him with the corner of her mouth raised, and patted herself on the side: "Handsome guy, sit up and come over, if you don't sit closer, how can I tell you?"

Wu Yu's pen stopped, and at this moment someone patted his shoulder, and Bu Zhonghua looked down at the girl on the sofa from above: "Liu Li?"

"..."

"Last year on August 13th, October [-]th, and February [-]th this year, the security anti-vice sweeps you three times. If you don't want to tell him, you can go to the Public Security Bureau and sit closer in the interrogation room and tell me."

Bu Chonghua's handsome face is filled with awe, which is the unique momentum accumulated naturally after years of dealing with cases and facing countless bloody scenes. When his sharp pupils are staring at someone without blinking, there is a terrifying feeling His insight can't even handle many old notes.

Liu Li's spine subconsciously jumped up, and she said bitterly for a long time: "I...I don't talk to that bitch. We have different shifts. She does things during the day, and I come out at night... to go out and go home after work to clean her up. It's time to go. Besides, she has eyes on the top of her head, and she is so poor that she is so noble. Can I talk to her? We can't talk together."

Bu Chonghua asked, "Will Gao Ling sell it?"

Liu Li was taken aback, probably never expected that Bu Chonghua could say such straightforward words with that cold and restrained face, "She, she doesn't...she...she doesn't send money to her family, whether she likes to sell it or not! I How do you know these things?"

"How do you know she doesn't send money home?"

"When she gave the deposit, she said it herself. She said that her mother is not a thing, she sucked her blood, and told me not to send money home." Liu Li curled her lips: "I'm not her, I have brothers If you don’t send money back, how can you support your family? I can’t build a house, I can’t hold my head up, and I’m going to be laughed at by the villagers!”

Zhang Xiaoli and the others were all stunned.

But Bu Chonghua was indifferent: "When she came to rent the house, she didn't mention where she was from?"

"Then how do I know, we don't look at ID cards in this business." Liu Li thought for a while, and reluctantly said the name of a county town around Jinhai City: "Maybe it's there, I don't know which village I'm from. I don’t know. Why, you really went to her hometown to arrest her? Can you get my money back? That’s 500 yuan! My computer is worth at least 1000 yuan! You officials can’t see [-] yuan Eyes, but I picked them out between my teeth, I..."

"Step detachment!" At this time, Meng Zhao interrupted her from outside the door: "The inspection team called out the nearby surveillance cameras. At [-] o'clock in the afternoon on May [-], Gao Ling left the house on foot alone. Would you like to come and take a look?" ?”

Bu Chonghua patted the hand on Wu Yu's shoulder all the time: "Let her take the notes honestly." Then he turned around and strode out of the house, Liu Li chased after two steps unwillingly: "Hello! My money...Hello? !"

The road was muddy and the rain was pouring. A thin girl flashed out from the alley, lowered her head and hurried away from the camera, leaving a wet back in the surveillance screen.

"The monitoring of the village in the city was not complete, and the visual conditions were very poor that day. After Gao Ling left the house, he left this video that lasted six seconds, but there was no front. After going out from the alley, there were four forks in the road, within about 200 meters. There are no cameras on these roads, and it will take about 3 minutes to walk through this area according to Gao Ling's pace." Meng Zhao frowned and said: "However, after that, no sign of her was found at the exits of all the fork roads. Never showed up."

Well done alone, disappeared within 3 minutes.

Bu Chonghua fell silent, rewinding the monitoring to the six seconds when she appeared, and the sound of heavy rain filled the quiet car.Shaoqing Gao Ling walked out of the camera, and he went back to play again. The girl was wearing a blue hooded raincoat and walked out of their sight again with exactly the same steps.

"Those four forked roads are all ordinary civilian alleys. There are no such things as sewer wells or secret passages. I have asked the brigade of police to go door-to-door along the way, but I can't be sure..."

"Wait," Bu Chonghua suddenly interrupted her and pressed pause.

The surveillance camera was dark and blurry, but Bu Chonghua seemed to see something, zooming in and out, until the moment when the screen focused on Gao Ling's sideways:

"She has something in her arms."

Meng Zhao brushed his temple hair behind his ears and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a slight protrusion under the wide raincoat, but because of the image quality problem, he couldn't find it if he didn't use his best eyesight.

"Is this... her luggage?" Meng Zhao asked uncertainly, "Or Liu Li's notebook?"

Bu Chonghua was noncommittal: "A wide range of surveillance was collected from Gao Ling's house to the river embankment, so that the detectives could search for a needle in a haystack. In addition, send the video of the target's appearance to the Criminal Division of the Municipal Bureau, which can deal with it." How many things have been dealt with, I want to know what exactly Gao Ling carried with him before he disappeared."

"Yes!"

Bu Chonghua pushed the door and got out of the car, and returned to the low-rise rental house. Zheng Zheng, the head of the police station, personally led the inspection team to inspect Liu Li's bedroom.

Bu Chonghua caught a glimpse of the second re-inspection form in the inspector's hand, and said nothing. He walked around the room twice, took a few photos with his mobile phone, and then opened the closet again. Two pairs of high-heeled sandals printed with the Chanel LOGO were taken out of the cloth bag in the corner.

Old Zheng rubbed his hands behind him: "We have seen it just now, it should be fake, not even real leather..."

Bu Chonghua interrupted him: "I know it's fake."

He put the shoes back in the cloth bag, got up and looked through the messy clothes that Liu Li wore on stage. The crudely made lace suspender sexy underwear was hung on the wire rack casually. The indescribable taste is so physical that it irritates the eyes, and even the surveyors couldn't get rid of it just now.

Compared with these things, Bu Chonghua's temperament can be described as the difference between clouds and mud, but he tore apart the pile of crumpled underwear one by one to observe, Lao Zheng couldn't face his cold expression: "Bu Detachment, there may be no clues here, why don't we..."

"and many more."

Old Zheng: "?"

Lao Zheng was confused, and Bu Chonghua was staring at the little black sling in his hand, as if he had finally confirmed a certain guess. Throwing them all out, he found a faded ring box from the corner in a short time, inside was a K gold ring full of scratches, he just opened it and glanced at it before throwing it to Lao Zheng: "Give the physical evidence to the trace inspection. "

"Huh? Yes, yes, but—"

Bu Chonghua ignored him: "What about Liu Li?"

Old Zheng pointed out frightenedly.

"I haven't paid the rent for this month yet! The gas stove is broken and I can't afford to replace it!" Liu Li was so angry that she slammed her butt on the sofa in the living room. Find the police if you have difficulty, bah! Calling the police is useless! Just catch us and fine us more aggressively than the other, and no one who eats imperial food has any good things!"

Wu Yu lowered his head and flipped through the current survey, and sat on the side in silence.Liu Li rolled her eyes, grabbed the sling and pulled it down again, deliberately revealing a dark and rough chest, Jiao Didi asked: "Handsome guy, you are so nice, can you give me an idea and help me?"

Wu Yu said without raising his head, "Be careful not to get caught."

"what?"

"You won't be fined."

Liu Li: "..."

Wu Yu closed the notebook, looked her up and down with a frown, and looked at her so thickly that Liu Li couldn't help it: "You, what are you doing?"

"Does anyone in your family know that?"

Liu Li rolled her eyes: "I know, of course I know, don't all of us in this industry lead fellow villagers?"

"Send all the money back?"

"Use some for yourself, and send the rest back to my younger brother to build a house." Liu Li muttered: "Otherwise, what should I do? Now there are fewer and fewer women in the village who are willing to stay in the village, and they will not be able to marry if they don't get married—isn't it It's about money. Hey, what do you see me doing?"

She faintly felt that Wu Yu looked at her differently from other policemen.

The policemen she met when she was arrested by anti-pornography before saw them as contemptuous, disgusting, and helpless, like a swarm of locusts hiding in the jurisdiction, and they couldn't complete the task without sweeping, and their hands were dirty after sweeping.And just now the detachment leader who seemed very powerful and everyone was afraid of looked at her, but he didn't show any emotion, and he didn't show any emotion at all, as if a city dweller with a cleanliness sees dirty things littered by the roadside, he just picks them up and throws them away Put it in the trash can, but you won't give it a second look, let alone stand on the road and scold it.

Only Wu Yu saw her as straight, like the same kind looking at the same kind, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a trace of emotion that was very strange to her in his eyes.

That's blame.

"I can't get it back." Wu Yu said, "Your computer is not worth a thousand, and the lost cash has no proof. It is unrealistic to count on the police station for this kind of thing. We are the criminal investigation team, and we can't file a case for you. Be careful yourself."

"What, a foreigner can get back a lost bicycle, but you are so awesome that you can't get back my money?" Liu Li suddenly became anxious, and pointed in the direction where Bu Chonghua went out just now: "Isn't your leader so awesome?" Is it true that all dares are pretentious? Is it a bluff?!"

Wu Yu sighed, and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't continue to provoke him."

Liu Li tilted her suspenders with a dissatisfied expression, her triangular eyebrows almost popped out of her forehead.

She has only been in contact with the security team, and the scariest method she has ever seen is to be scolded and kicked by the police assistant, and she can run back in two days after being deported to her original place.She didn't understand why Bu Chonghua didn't even bother to scan her, and she didn't understand what the real power of the criminal investigation department represented.

Wu Yu was a little helpless, and after thinking for a while, he took out the wallet from his trouser pocket.Liu Li looked at him suspiciously with a crooked face, only to see that he took out all the banknotes and counted them, 360, and then lightly threw them in front of her.

"Take it." Wu Yu said briefly, "Stop making trouble, it's no good."

Liu Li's eyes widened, but she opened her mouth without making a sound, and stared at him blankly.

Wu Yu packed up the pens and papers, got up and walked outside, at this moment, a strong hand held him down from behind—then the hand passed over his shoulder, grabbed the banknotes on the table, and slapped Wu Yu hard. chest.

Wu Yu turned his head and saw Bu Chonghua's curved and cold chin: "—Come here, Liu Li, the suspect in the [-] serious case, take him away immediately!"

The surrounding air was still for an instant, and no one could react, Wu Yu froze in astonishment.

It was Old Zheng, the captain who reacted quickly, and immediately led someone to rush forward: "Don't move!" "Take it away!"

"What? What's wrong? Did you make a mistake?!" Liu Li was caught off guard and struggled: "What did I do?! Let me go! Let me go! Help!"

The room suddenly became chaotic, but the police of the Criminal Investigation Brigade were not vegetarians, so they took her out instead.Until outside the house, Liu Li was still screaming, "You're making a mistake!" "Help, the police are beating someone!" Her sharp screams shook the neighbors to open their windows to peep, but within a blink of an eye, she was shoved into a police car. The draft blew through the hall and slammed the door shut with a bang.

"What do you mean?" There were only the two of them facing each other in the room, and Wu Yu pointed to the outside, feeling absurd: "The suspect in the [-] serious case?"

But Bu Chonghua didn't even bother to answer him: "The money is too much to give away, it's better to donate to Hope Primary School, send an escort girl, you think you can get a few truths in exchange!"

If the escort girl can handle a case as big as [-], then all the criminal police in Nancheng District will be able to go home from get off work.Wu Yu took a deep breath, took out a cigarette and lit it, and asked, "What clues did you find that can prove that she was related to Nian Xiaoping's death?"

If someone else dared to fight him like this, he might have been reprimanded by Bu Chonghua—have you never seen a female in your life, a young lady can make you feel sorry for her, or get out of the detachment to fight pornography Forget dealing with them every day!

But apart from Wu Yu, no one else dared to contradict him like this.

When all the camouflage of humility and meekness fades away from Wu Yu's body, you will find that his face is actually very alienated, probably because the contours of the face are very three-dimensional and the facial features are very distinct. It reveals a sense of tension that has been overshadowed by long-term depression.

He really had to be repressed.Perhaps in his world, female drug dealers and drug addict girls are the vast majority, and someone like Liu Li is considered a filial daughter.

Bu Chonghua's pale amber pupils stared at him for a while, and finally lost his temper, and said calmly: "I saw Liu Li's bedroom just now, and she didn't tell you the truth."

"..."

"Most of the sizes in Liu Li's closet are medium sizes, except for a few fake dresses of famous brands that are XS. In addition, there are two pairs of fake luxury shoes with size 36 hidden separately. There is a ring in the drawer of the bedside table, which is full of scratches. 18K gold, the circumference of the ring is 6.5 or 7, but Liu Li's feet are between 37.5 and 38, and the circumference of her ring finger is at least 8. Do you understand what this means?"

——That's not Liu Li's, it's Gao Ling's.

"It's only been a few days since Gao Ling disappeared, and Liu Li has taken her belongings for herself. What does that mean? She may not be the murderer, but she must be hiding something inside. She knows that Gao Ling will never come back!"

"..."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Bu Chonghua raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Send money home, support your parents... just listen to it. For those who are related to pornography, gambling, and drugs, the police station will record a comparison." A pitiful one, but the actual moral bottom line is almost non-existent, and if you can do anything, the possibility of washing your hands and going ashore to start a new life is even lower than picking one out of ten thousand!"

Wu Yu held the cigarette between his fingers and didn't move. The hazy afternoon sun refracted through the dusty frosted glass, and the cigarette butt shone with a faint red light in the dimness.

Bu Chonghua's stern tone finally softened a bit, and he stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder: "Poor people must have hateful things, but they are all self-inflicted. You have never worked in the police station, and you will know when you see it later. Go back."

Suddenly his hand stopped and was blocked by Wu Yu's arm.

Wu Yu's pupils showed an extremely deep black in the backlight, so black that it was a little bluish, as if suppressing some deeper emotion, if you didn't get close, you wouldn't notice the slight trembling of your lips:

"I know, team. I've been with chop suey for so many years, don't I know much better than you?"

Bu Chonghua's eyelids twitched.

"I just don't know that assisting in the investigation can also be used directly. You elites are quite flexible in how you deal with different objects."

Bu Chonghua's face changed slightly, but at this moment Wu Yu had let go of his hand, stepped back half a step, nodded politely and mockingly, turned around and strode out the door.
