Hunt down

"What's the situation?" Zhou Jiming asked the hurried policeman.

"There may be dead bodies in the woods..." the police officer pointed to the woods behind and said, "During the search, the flying leopard stopped there and kept digging the soil. There must be something down there!"

Flying Leopard is the police dog domesticated by this little policeman.

Zhou Jiming explained a few words to the policeman who stayed here, and then followed the little policeman to the woods.

Four or five people had already started digging at that place, and the Feibao was staring at the ground with ferocity in its eyes.

Zhou Jiming saw the sapling that had been raped next to it, and the little policeman explained, "This sapling grows in the middle, and it cannot be dug if it is not pulled out. After the digging is finished, it will be planted again."

The sapling lay quietly on the ground, it couldn't speak, it couldn't make any sound, it couldn't tell the world what happened here, just like the children buried under the wooden house...

"Don't plant it here, when the time comes, take it away and plant it in a good place."

The little policeman looked at the young sapling, then at the hole dug deeper and deeper, he nodded knowingly, "Yes."

"Xiao Ning...Xiao Ning..."

"Xiao Ning, are you okay?"

"Xiao Ning, thank you."

"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning! Don't go, I'll go."

"Xiao Ning... I found a hole in the back, maybe we can sneak out at night..."

"Xiao Ning... let's go..."

……

"Who the hell are you...why can't I remember what you look like...what's your name..."

"Did you forget me? I'm your best friend, you called my sister, did you forget me? I'm so sad, I'm so cold..."

"Xiao Ning...Xiao Ning..."

"Xiao Ning!"

"My name is Zhu...Zhu..."

"Brother Song Nai...Brother Song Nai...Brother Song Nai!"

Jiang Jiale looked like he was about to cry, Song Nai was sweating all over his head, shaking all over, his head kept shaking from side to side, his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Jiale thought that Song Nai was having a nightmare, and wanted to pat him to wake him up, but there was no response. Song Nai seemed to die in the dream at any moment, but there was no one else in the car except the driver, what should he do...

"Zhu... Zhu what...? Zhu... Zhu... What did I forget... What did I forget..."

The girl in the dream smiled, Song Nai couldn't see her face clearly, only knew that she was thin, tall, much taller than himself, he called her sister.

"It's okay...it's okay..." the girl comforted, "We used to come here like this...it's okay...we'll meet soon...Xiao Ning...Xiao Ning...wait for me..."

"What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for! Don't go! Don't go!"

"Brother Song Nai!!"

"Deputy team! Got it!"

"It's bones." A little policeman said.

After digging a full meter deep, the pit is very strange, there is only this one skeleton, there is no flesh and blood, only a pile of cold and terrifying bones.

Zhou Jiming carried a cloth with him, and they took out the bones and placed them lightly on the cloth.

"This skeleton should belong to an adult female with complete development. Judging from the cotton trousers and down jacket on the skeleton, it was buried here in winter." Zhou Jiming squatted down to look at her skull. "The skull shows signs of fragmentation." , suffered a severe head injury during his lifetime, and may have died because of it."

The deceased's clothes were placed next to her bones, and the flying leopard walked over steadily, sniffing the clothes closely. It seemed to smell something again, and tentatively scratched the down jacket with its front paws.

Zhou Jiming touched Feibao's head, moved a little to the side, and touched the down jacket. At the place where Feibao had scratched, he touched a rectangular object. From the touch, it looked like a book. It was sealed in a In the down jacket interlayer.

Zhou Jiming carefully tore open the interlayer along the torn parts of the clothes, and a book wrapped in plastic film slipped out and fell to the side of the deceased, lying quietly.

Picking up some heavy notebooks, the owner of the skeleton in front of him probably expected that he would die, so he sealed the important things in advance and put them on himself.

She should feel that there is no place in the world that is safer than herself, and she should not trust anyone but herself.

Zhou Jiming peeled off the plastic film. The cover of this book is very beautiful. It should be a pattern drawn by himself. On it is a large yard. In the yard, there are two children swinging on a swing, a boy and a girl, surrounded by endless grasslands.

Turning to the first page, there are two characters neatly written in the lower left corner——Zhu Bing.

----

Song Nai opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Jiang Jiale's crying face doubled in size in front of his eyes, Song Nai did not use much force to block him from his eyes, and he still hadn't recovered from the dream just now.

"Brother Song Nai..." Jiang Jiale whispered.

Song Nai rubbed his temples, "Don't call me 'brother', just call me by my name, 'uncle' is also fine."

Jiang Jiale was puzzled, obviously he didn't look very old, why he couldn't be called "brother", although he wanted to ask, he didn't ask.

"Are you... having a nightmare?"

"No." Song Nai had a splitting headache, and he didn't have the strength to answer the question of the child next to him.

Zhu... Zhu what...

Song Nai thought of that mountain, should he call Zhou Jiming and ask what's going on now, he's not in the same car with the police, he has no news.

Jiang Jiale felt Song Nai's aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and stayed alone in his seat and didn't speak again.

Song Nai thought about it again and again, but still couldn't hold back and called Zhou Jiming.

The phone rang three times and connected.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhou Jiming asked.

Song Nai was taken aback for a moment, why did he answer the phone in such a...natural...and then quickly responded, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes, not a lot." Zhou Jiming held Zhu Bing's diary in his hand, and he saw a person's name in the diary.

"Can you tell me?" Song Nai tentatively finished, and immediately added, "It's okay if it's inconvenient..."

"Is something wrong?" Zhou Jiming interrupted Song Nai, "Your voice doesn't sound right."

"No...no."

Zhou Jiming was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. Song Nai could only hear some noisy and chaotic human voices in the background.

"Do you want to ask me if you have found any news about the person related to you, more precisely, the person in your dream, right?"

Song Nai didn't answer, Zhou Jiming took it as his acquiescence.

"I found it." Zhou Jiming said, his tone seemed a little helpless.

Song Nai's heart tightened, and he held his breath.

"It's Zhu Bing, can you remember the name?"

Zhu stiles... Zhu stiles... Zhu stiles...

"I saw your name in her diary. It should be someone who has a good relationship with you."

Zhou Jiming heard that Song Nai had lost his voice. In fact, if the surroundings were quieter, he could hear that Song Nai hadn't breathed for a long time, but the surroundings were too noisy.

"I'll tell you the details when I get back to the game, and when I'm done with this..."

"Thank you."

"what?"

Zhou Jiming didn't hear Song Nai's sudden words.

"Thank you."

Song Nai said it again softly, then hung up the phone.

He remembered, he remembered... the name he had forgotten for more than ten years, he remembered.

The horrible past tormented him day and night after he left the orphanage. The young self chose to forget it for his own comfort, but he failed to forget his experience there, but forgot what was best for him there. appearance and name of the person.

Why did he forget, he remembered... That person was captured by the group of people in order to let him escape, he squatted in the grass and watched her being beaten, until he lost consciousness and was dragged back, He didn't have the courage to save her, he didn't have the courage to go back...

She successfully distracted those people, Song Nai was able to escape, he is a coward, he chose to be a deserter, he hated her, hated her for making himself a cowardly deserter, he hated himself even more, hated his incompetence and weakness.

She must also hate him very much, leaving mercilessly, and clearly agreed to escape together, go to the prairie together, and sing together on horseback.

Now that she has become a bone of bones, she still has the idea of ​​wanting to be happy with others, it's really ridiculous.

What qualifications do you have to be happy?

Song Nai stared at his phone and sneered, he felt that he was the biggest joke in the world.

Why do you want to have beauty?

----

As twilight fell and the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Jiming moved Zhu Bing's bones back to the door of the wooden house. At this time, more than 180 corpses were found, many of which were incomplete and fragmented and could not be pieced together. To be sure, it is not known whether they are matched or not. I just made a rough estimate. I don't know how long it will take to match these bones.

Moreover, tooth marks similar to gnawing were found on many bones. It is not difficult to speculate that these bones were gnawed by wolf dogs, which means that there must be many corpses that have been disposed of artificially. It is not disposed of.

What is even more uncomfortable is that the only person here who knows his identity is Zhu Bing, and the other children may not even be able to do a genetic comparison.

The number is too large, and most of them are orphans.

"Deputy Zhou, do we need our help to dispose of these bones?" Xu Huansheng patted the dirt on his hands, "There are too many... I don't know how long it will take for you to dispose of them alone. Since it is in our We should also help with the cases that happened in the jurisdiction.”

Zhou Jiming felt that the vice-captain and their captain were completely different. People like Zhao Chaoyao used some means to climb up, and they would continue to use means to climb up. He replied with a smile, "Thank you very much."

"Hey, what's the matter, just ignore me in this case, you come by yourself!" A harsh voice came from the dark forest, and Zhou Jiming made a gesture to the little policeman almost at the same time as the voice came out, Let him take Zhu Bing's body away.

"Captain." Xu Huansheng saluted Zhao Chaoyao, who had his hands in his trouser pockets and a cigarette dangling from the forest.

"You also know that I'm the captain, you didn't notify me of such a big case, so you came here with a lot of energy?"

"It's urgent, there's no time."

"Not in time?" Zhao Chaoyao spat, and spit the still burning cigarette end onto Xu Huansheng's shoe.

"Master!" Lu Yan came back with the police officers who went to support and catch the fleeing people, and happened to bump into this scene.

Xu Huansheng's face remained unchanged. He bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, squeezed it in his hand, and extinguished its sparks. He loosened his hand and dropped it to the ground.

"I'm fine." Xu Huansheng replied calmly, "Didn't the captain come here this morning? If the captain really cared enough, he probably wouldn't have left so easily in the morning."

Zhao Chaoyao said coldly, "What kind of thing are you, dare to educate me?"

"I'm nothing, just an ordinary people's policeman."

There are still members of Zhou Jiming's team here at the moment, no matter how bad Zhao Chaoyao is, he doesn't want to let others see the excitement of his team here. He resisted the urge to slap Xu Huan and turned to look at Zhou Jiming.

"We will take away all the bones dug out here. Since the matter happened in Qichuan City, of course we have to take responsibility for it. Do you think it makes sense, Deputy Team Zhou?"

Zhou Jiming snorted coldly, "Captain Zhao is right, if it is discovered by you, it will naturally be returned to your bureau." After he finished speaking, he looked at the police officer of his team standing next to Lu Yan, holding a police officer in his hand. The escaped man who was injured on his leg, "However, I have to take that person away." Zhou Jiming pointed to the arrested man and said.

"Deputy team." The police officer understood, and pushed the handcuffed fugitives out, "They all had guns in their hands, two in total, and the other died on the spot. This one was slightly injured, and we caught it!"

"Good job." Zhou Jiming patted the police officer on the shoulder, "Take it away!"

"Wait! I said this is my jurisdiction..."

"Captain Zhao, you have the intention to rob me here, why don't you dig and see if you can dig out any more important evidence, it's more useful than you and me here?" Zhou Jiming's tone was normal, but look Looking at Zhao Chaoyao, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Zhao Chaoyao was angry in his heart, but because there were so many people, he had to face himself, so he didn't confront him head-on.

"Close the team!" Zhou Jiming shouted at the people in the room, "Take everything you need, don't lose it!"

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
