Chasing the Mist

Chapter 29 Ice Sculpture Case (28)

In the emergency room of the hospital, Lin Yiran came out after bandaging the wound, "Meng Jia is in the Central Hospital?"

Gu Xun nodded, but didn't say anything. From the police station to the hospital, he cherished words like gold. He was silent most of the time, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lin Yiran didn't speak anymore, and the two walked towards the inpatient department tacitly. The central hospital occupies a large area, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk from the emergency department to the inpatient department.

Lin Yiran became agitated for a while, snatched the cigarette from his mouth and extinguished it, and threw it into the trash can, "Do you really want to get lung cancer?"

As if he didn't hear, Gu Xun took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it. He had just taken a puff of the cigarette, but Lin Yiran snatched it away, stuffed it in his mouth, and took a puff like him. The thick smoke made him cough violently.

"I don't know how to smoke, what are you doing?" Gu Xun snatched back the cigarette and pinched it between his fingers.

At this time, Lin Yiran suddenly said: "No one thought that Zhang Yanchen would go crazy and bite people. Even if someone was sitting next to me at that time, I would still block him. There is no need for Captain Gu to feel guilty about it."

A word pokes the thought.

He opened his mouth, didn't say a word, looked down at his hands and eyes, threw it away, and strode forward.

Lin Yiran looked at his back and pursed his lips and smiled.

"Let's go." Gu Xun didn't look back.

Lin Yiran was taken aback, and raised his legs to chase after him, just like the days when he was his tail when he was a child.

early morning.

The lights in the city are dim, the hospital road, the street lights are dim, like an old man in the twilight, the snow is falling with the wind, the two walk side by side, a cold wind suddenly blows, Lin Yiran tightens his neckline, and the next second, the hat behind him is buttoned on the top of his head .

"It's cold and you don't know how to wear a hat?" Gu Xun said in a bad tone.

Lin Yiran hooked the corner of his mouth again, very shallow.

In the middle of the night, the inpatient department was very quiet. The nurse on duty rested her chin on her hands and her eyelids were fighting. At the end of the corridor, Zheng Tiancheng folded his arms on his knees on the porch chair, buried his head in his arms, and didn't know if he was asleep or awake.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zheng Tiancheng sat up straight and rubbed his eyes, "Boss, Xiao Lin? Why are you here? How is the kid doing the interrogation?"

"It's basically going well." Gu Xun raised his chin toward the ward, "How is Meng Jia?"

Zheng Tiancheng drooped his head, like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, and shook his head, "I'm frightened, don't let people get close, and cry when I get close... She usually listens to the boss's words the most, why don't the boss go in and try?"

The light was on in the ward, and Gu Xun knocked on the door: "Is Meng Jia asleep? I'm Gu Xun."

After a while, the door opened, and Meng Jia was standing at the door wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. Her eyes were dark and round, and she looked at them displeasedly. For a long time, she popped out the word "Boss."

Gu Xun smiled slightly, thousands of words converged on the corners of his mouth, and finally forced out a "How is it?"

"I'm fine, did Zhang Yanchen catch it?"

"Caught in the mountains."

"Did he plead guilty?"

"The evidence is solid, and it's up to him to plead guilty or not."

A smile flickered across Meng Jia's mouth, and she murmured in a low voice: "Just grab it..." She raised her head in vain, "Where's his car?"

Someone caught him, and that set of license plates was a BMW X7, but he searched the entire Yong'an Village and couldn't find it. The road surveillance captured several cars of the same model, but with different license plates.

The car disappeared out of thin air under the nose of the police.

"I haven't found the car. Tomorrow, I will send someone to search around the mountain again."

Meng Jia looked out the window and recalled the scene in the car yesterday. Zhang Yanchen didn't recognize her as a policeman. He suspected that someone was following her on the road. He didn't know who he called. After a few minutes, she answered the phone again. She couldn't hear what the person on the other end said. The call lasted less than half a minute. After that, he didn't say a word and drove quietly at a fast speed.

Meng Jia realized something was wrong, and was about to send a message to Gu Xun, when Zhang Yanchen stopped suddenly, quickly pulled the tape to seal her mouth, bound her hands and feet, and threw away the bag and coat she was carrying.

His hands and feet are nimble and his speed is extremely fast, and the whole journey takes less than 5 minutes.

The car turned into Zhang's compound, Zhang Yanchen carried Meng Jia into the basement, first punched and kicked her to vent his anger...

Meng Jia didn't say anything about the rest, and Gu Xun didn't even ask.

"We checked his mobile phone. After five o'clock in the afternoon, there was no call record."

"That's weird, does he have two mobile phones? Before you caught up, the mobile phone and the car were all driven away by another person?" Meng Jia shuddered when he said this, "He has an accomplice."

Lin Yiran had long doubted her conclusion, "That accomplice has either seen you, or he is a hacker. It is unrealistic to successfully compare your photos by breaking into the police system in such a short period of time. I tend to think he has seen you."

Meng Jia has not been in the police force for a long time, and has never participated in official public appearances. She is not a celebrity police officer. Walking on the street, everyone can't tell that she is a police officer, unless the other party has planned for a long time and deliberately approaches or follows her.

She thought for a while, "I've been busy with a case recently, so I haven't had any contact with other people. Could it be...people from our bureau?"

Zheng Tiancheng: "No way."

Lin Yiran: "I'll talk to Li Shengzhou tomorrow."

Gu Xun: "Leave these to us, don't worry about it, you should take good care of your health now and come back as soon as possible."

Meng Jia's eyes turned red, "Boss, I can't go back."

The moment Zhang Yanchen sees through her, the past and the rest of her life are quietly split into two pieces. She really has nothing to do but go back to the past, but the damage is also the beginning of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Hearing this, the eyes of the three collided with each other, and they all turned to look at her.

Gu Xun frowned, "I don't want to be a criminal police officer, I'll change jobs for you, but resign... don't even think about it, I don't agree."

During the period after waking up, Meng Jia didn't shed a single tear. The pain was real, and so was the excitement. So what if he could catch the murderer and risk his life for his life?On the day when she decided on the fishing plan, she had already prepared for the worst, and even secretly wrote a suicide note.

Gu Xun said in a few words like a soldier in battle, attacking the towering wall she built, hitting the softest part of the wall, tears could no longer be suppressed, and fell down, "Boss... What will I do in the future?"

Before Gu Xun could speak, Zheng Tiancheng became anxious, "What should I do? The sun will rise as usual, and the work will continue as usual. You have done nothing wrong. Don't pay for the actions of scum... That... If you want... I will Be a knight to protect you, let Jiajia have only sunshine and no snow for the rest of her life."

Meng Jia suddenly laughed: "Why are you not upright at all?"

Zheng Tiancheng raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm more upright than the boss, he doesn't even have a girl he likes..."

Lin Yiran and Gu Xun quietly exited the ward, drove home, and arrived downstairs at four o'clock in the morning. The living room lights were on, and the smell of alcohol came to their faces when they entered the door. There was garbage all over the bench. Gu Yuan was playing games with headphones on. The people inside are cursing and seeming to be in a bad mood.

Gu Xun's head was big, he stepped forward and pulled off Gu Yuan's earphones, pointed at the garbage on the ground, and said angrily, "Clean it up."

Gu Yuan shrugged, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and threw them on the table, "Please ask an auntie, I don't know how to do housework."

Gu Xun was tired and sleepy, and when Gu Yuan was so provocative, the fire immediately came up, he took out the broom and threw it into his arms, "I won't learn it now, this is Baicheng, don't take out the young master's style at home, here No one is used to you."

Gu Yuan is usually obedient, but tonight he was stimulated by something, so he kicked the broom aside fiercely, "Stop looking at me with that condescending look, you have a bad temper and cold blood, how can you compare to me?"

"It's nothing compared to our Yuanyuan, go in and sleep, Brother Ran cleans up the garbage." Lin Yiran talked, pushing Gu Yuan to go to the bedroom, Gu Yuan drank too much wine and took up the bed.

When he closed the door and came out, the living room had been cleaned, the bathroom light was on, and the water was running.

Back in the bedroom, he sat in front of the desk, staring at the case notes he had written before in a daze. The case was closed, but there were still doubts that were not confirmed. For example, what Meng Jia mentioned today, who did Zhang Yanchen call?Who played the playground music?How did he escape with so many police officers in the playground?Li Shengzhou's attitude change?

While thinking, Zhang Yanchen's last sentence suddenly sounded in his ears - Gu Xun, the game has just begun, I wish you good luck.

what game?

Lin Yiran felt a chill down his spine.

"Could it be Lu Youming?"

A thick and lazy voice suddenly appeared behind him, and at the same time, the faint smell of bath liquid penetrated into his nostrils, and Lin Yiran turned his head.

Gu Xun's upper body is bare|naked, his abdominal muscles are arranged horizontally and vertically, and the lines are smooth. He wipes his wet hair with one hand, looks down at the densely packed words on the notebook, with a loose expression.

"Plop, plop" Lin Yiran's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, he hurriedly closed the notebook, and walked around him to wash up in the bathroom.

When I came back, the bedroom light was on, Gu Xun was not asleep, wearing a loose white T, leaning on the chair and looking at the phone, as if waiting for him.

"Don't sleep?",

"sleep."

Gu Xun pressed the button to turn off the light, and the two lay side by side on the bed, relatively speechless, each suffering from insomnia.

The morning light came in, casting a thin layer of light on the room, making it hazy.

a long time.

Gu Xun leaned against the bed and sat up, picked up the cigarette on the bedside table and lit it, took a few puffs, "Thank you for today's matter."

When Lin Yiran first fell in love, his heart was stolen by the person who took him to have fun and buy ice cream whenever he saw it. He obviously lost his heart, but he lived like a thief walking on thin ice, afraid that Gu Xun would find out.

Those emotions that had no place to rest turned into uncertain and irritable. After many encounters with each other, he gave up on himself and wanted to have a showdown.

Close at hand, yet far away in the sky, secret love is just a contest between oneself and oneself.

Secretly fell in love with him at the age of fourteen or fifteen. During the long years of youth, Lin Yiran had only books in the world except for Gu Xun. Let alone a piece of meat that was bitten off, he could give him his life.

Gu Xun didn't know about these small emotions. After smoking a cigarette, the person next to him didn't say a word, but raised his hand to touch him, "How did you guess that the password was my birthday?"

After pretending to be asleep, Lin Yiran simply opened his eyes and folded his arms on the back of his head, "All his anger and embarrassment are all in that underground darkroom, where hatred gathers. When he sets the password, he will naturally think of the person he hates the most."

Gu Xun smiled slightly: "I didn't do anything, but I was hated by him to the bone. It's really wrong."

"Heh! It's because Team Gu is so charming."

Gu Xun nodded in agreement, "Well, the charm has always been great."

"..." Lin Yiran was defeated by his shamelessness, so he shut up and said nothing.

Gu Xun touched him again, just to make fun of himself, "Shall I accompany you to see Li Shengzhou tomorrow?"

Lin Yiran didn't speak, turned over and closed his eyes to sleep.

Gu Xun: "..."

Lin Yiran visited Baida University again. Li Shengzhou had already returned to his hometown during the winter vacation. The local police assisted in the investigation. On the day Meng Jia met Zhang Yanchen, Li Shengzhou was attending a classmate's wedding.

Lu Youming had a meeting until [-] pm that day, had dinner with his colleagues after the meeting, and never went out after returning home in the early morning.

The BMW X7 was found in a cave near Yong'an Village. All the fingerprints on the car had been cleaned, and there was no air purifier in the car that Meng Jia said.

Zhang Yanchen confessed to the murder. Regarding the car, he claimed that he drove into the cave when he was escaping, and he stopped all doubts about him. The reason was reasonable, and he cut off the suspicion of the police.

After the case was closed, Lin Yiran was always uneasy, always feeling that there was something waiting for them, as if a net was coming towards them.

The author has something to say: the questions left by the ice sculpture case will be discussed later, and the new case will be opened tomorrow, and the relationship will also progress.
