Temporary partner

In the morning, when Zu Tianyang was in the cafeteria, he specially brought a steamed bun for Huzi to eat. He has been here for more than half a month, and Huzi saw him again. You have to wag your tail, body language has already betrayed its view of Zu Tianyang.Zu Tianyang threw the meat bun to it, it grabbed it in one bite, and ate it like a jujube.

Dogs can't help showing kindness to humans.When Ji Yan passed by, Hu Zi immediately stood up, struggling with both paws, trying to reach Ji Yan, and it was obvious that it had a good relationship with Ji Yan, Ji Yan took out an egg from his pocket, and the shell Before peeling it off, the tiger held his hand and ate the egg with the shell on. His tail was wagging like an electric fan, and he was jumping up and down trying to lick someone.

Zu Tianyang can see that Huzi is a dog with a good temper. This kind of dog is very good for domestication, but it is not suitable for police dogs to perform tasks. It is too excitable.Ji Yan patted its head, walked away from it, and patted the pants full of paw prints a few times without paying much attention.

During roll call in the morning, Ji Yan asked the Director for instructions that he ask Zu Tianyang to go to Yufa Village to check on the road to the town. Ding Dong and the others looked at him like a fool, but the Director didn't say anything, just his eyebrows. After the morning meeting, Ji Yan assigned tasks in the group, and Ding Dong and Wang Tianming went to the market for a short stay. It happened that Zu Tianyang meant to walk from the market to the entrance of Yufa Village, so that he could stop by. watching them.

The four squeezed into the red flag car, and Ding Dong kept shaking his head: "I said, Boss Ji, are you trying too hard? Don't make you a fool because you can't solve the case. You have to walk to Yufa Village, come on!" Not to mention a long way, there is still a mountain to climb! Expert Hawkeye, how is it possible, the two little girls walked back?"

Zu Tianyang slept late last night thinking about the case, and now he is sitting next to Ji Yan, his eyes have already closed vainly: "What if I run out of money, half a day's work will be fine."

Ding Dong said: "You may be too untenable. According to what you say, you may be photographed by aliens' UFOs. Do you want to go to outer space to find them? Boss, are you too used to him?" , Is he investigating a case? It's nonsense!"

Ji Yan didn't make a sound, he looked at Zu Tianyang's sleeping face, and slowed down his driving speed.

The car quickly drove to the bus station in the town, and the two got off the bus. The bus station outside the town market is very big. Besides the bus, there are several long-distance bus stops here. After the white marble was mined, a large number of people from nearby towns and villages poured in here, and the personnel changes were very complicated.

In the early stage of handling the case, Ji Yan led the team to investigate every long-distance bus and bus here. Many of the two girls traveled together, but none of them were the lost two. They seemed to be real Just disappeared in this small town.

The market was still full of people, but the topic of discussion changed from the lost girl to the young woman's fraudulent corpse, which seemed to be enough for the police station.

Ding Dong and Wang Tianming lowered the brims of their hats and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Ji Yan looked at the disappearance of the two of them in a flash, and thought a little disappointed that in such a busy place, even if someone saw them, they would quickly forget them.

Zu Tianyang regained his sense of returning to the cage, and he regained his energy. He rubbed his frozen red nose and said to Ji Yan, "Let's go!"

The sky outside was gloomy, as if a snowstorm was brewing, the sky was getting colder and colder, even ice cones were frozen on the bare branches, Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang walked through the bustling station, Walk along the road towards Yufa Village. At the beginning, you can still see some passing vehicles and people on the road. Gradually, the crowds disappear. It may take a long time for a car to meet one. They drive very fast and disappear in a blink of an eye. .

In front of it is a road that can't be seen at a glance, and on both sides are barren rice fields.Zu Tianyang walked very slowly, observing the situation on the side of the road while walking.The road is winding, but it should be much closer if we cross through the field. He went to the field and looked in: "Look over there, if we cross through the field, it should save a lot of time."

Ji Yan said: "It's winter now. There should be a lot of corn and sorghum planted here a few months ago. They can't see the end at a glance, and they don't know where they can go through it."

Zu Tianyang said: "Go through and have a look, maybe they are hungry after walking, and they can break two ears of corn in the field to eat."

Ji Yan followed him speechlessly, more and more suspicious that Zu Tianyang solved the case by luck.

The land here is very sticky, and it is very difficult to walk in the field. Fortunately, the weather is colder and the soil is relatively dry and hard. Even so, after the two of them walked a few kilometers in the field, their calves were covered with mud.

The northwest wind quickly dried the clay, and the hoops were hard on the calves. Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan walked through the last field, only feeling sore waist and leg pain. They sat on the road, panting slightly.

Ji Yan found two sticks, handed one to Zu Tianyang, and began to scrape the dirt on his trousers by the side of the road.Zu Tianyang looked at the endless field, and admitted that he had made a mistake in his judgment: "It seems that the possibility of these two girls walking back by themselves is really very small."

Ji Yan had already told him that this possibility was unlikely, so he turned a blind eye to his complaints. He silently scraped the hard mud on his calves, and when a gust of cold wind blew by, his slightly wet calves felt even more uncomfortable.

Looking at the vast field, Ji Yan just sighed in his heart. He was not afraid of hard work or suffering, but he was afraid that they would still have no clues to solve the case after suffering for a long time.

The victim may still be alive, which is more heartwarming than a murder case. Every day a case is solved, the victim is more dangerous every day.Maybe after a few years they accidentally solved the case, but the two girls have lost the courage to live.

There seemed to be some humidity in the wind, Ji Yan raised his head, it turned out that it was snowing, and the snowflakes fluttered and fell on their heads, and soon became mottled.

With the hooped soil on his legs, as if he was wearing sandbags, every step after that was heavy, and the cold wind was biting. Zu Tianyang squinted his eyes and looked forward, as if the sky and the earth were connected one after another, like a straight line There is no end to the passage, and the mountains in the distance are very close, but they are very far away when they walk. The sky is very empty, and the road is also very empty. They may not be able to see a car if they walk for more than ten minutes. Next to someone panting together, Zu Tianyang almost suspected that this was a dream he had. In recent years, the city has developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Zu Tianyang has not seen such a scene for a long time. Here Although it is beautiful, it is difficult to tell the direction, because the surrounding scenery is too similar, and it is full of fields at a glance. Fortunately, there is a road to help them find the direction, and they can keep walking along the road. Zu Tianyang said with emotion: "No wonder This village used to be poor, so no one would want to come here before the road was built." He looked at the mud on his pants and said, "If the roads are so muddy, it will be difficult for people to get out, let alone cars."

Although Ji Yan has been in and out of Yufa Village several times, this is the first time he personally experienced the muddy land of Yufa Village. He said as he walked, "That Village Chief Ma, paving the gravel road in their village is really hard work."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "No wonder he has prestige, he really did the facts."

The two talked while walking, and at first they seemed to be joking, but when they walked to the back, their legs felt like they were filled with lead, and the cold wind rolled small stones and hit their faces, which hurt like a knife cut. Halfway through, snowflakes started to fall in the sky, and soon the hair of the two people was covered. The scenery in front of them was so close, but they couldn't reach the end. They didn't know how long they walked, but they felt hungry. Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan's physique is very good, and it's not easy to walk, let alone the two little girls, and they have to climb mountains and mountains to go to Yufa Village. Looking at Ji Yan who is tired and sweating profusely, he feels a little guilty Ding Dong was right to scold him, he really remembered that every time he came out, he used to clean up by himself, but now his partner was hurt, Zu Tianyang wanted to apologize several times, but he didn't know how to say it.

A transport truck pulling stones passed by them, Ji Yan looked inside, paused for a moment, Zu Tianyang turned back: "What's wrong?"

Ji Yan said: "The car seems to be Wang Xiaomei's partner."

Zu Tianyang looked in the direction of the car: "How did he go this way?"

Ji Yan said: "This road leads to the town, I must have just returned from the town."

Zu Tianyang watched the stone cart circling up the winding mountain road, Zu Tianyang narrowed his eyes and asked Ji Yan: "The mountain that enters Yufa Village is in front?"

Ji Yan nodded: "Shall we follow him to Panshan Road?"

Zu Tianyang said: "Let's not go with him, he is driving, we rely on two legs, if we go on like this, it will be dark when we enter the village, right?"

Ji Yan said: "I haven't tried it, but I heard it's very difficult to walk."

Zu Tianyang stomped his feet, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky: "Although the possibility is very small, but... shall we turn around and go back, or go all the way?"

Ji Yan didn't speak, he looked at the mountain not far away, and walked forward resolutely.Looking at his resolute back, Zu Tianyang chuckled, forget it, his partner doesn't need to apologize.
