Chasing the Mist

Gu Xun turned around and drove back, "What's going on?"

Meng Jia: "We just arrived, and the Nanping police are dealing with the situation at the scene."

"The address has been sent, I'll be there right away." Gu Xun cut off the phone and drove to the scene at a high speed. After half an hour, he arrived at the community where Liu Na lived in Nanping County.

The elevator stopped on the nineteenth floor, the door opened, and Meng Jia was already waiting outside. She pointed to the room on the right, "Boss's side." As she walked to the room, she introduced the situation, "Liu Na just turned 18 this year. I went to work in the Mediterranean Sea a year ago, and resigned half a year ago. I bought this two-bedroom apartment in the best community in Nanping with full payment. At the same time as buying a house, I opened a nail salon in Nanping Commercial Street. Closed, currently at home waiting for work, living alone, suddenly jumped out of the living room window at [-]:[-] in the morning, no footprints of the second person were found on the scene, and no footprints were found in the elevator monitoring, people went to the [-]th floor in the morning, and the door handle did not have the fingerprints of the second person , Judging from the scene, it should be suicide."

Lin Yiran: "The behavior seems to be suicidal, but what about the thinking? Has she ever had the idea of ​​suicide? Has her family or friends asked?"

Meng Jia: "I haven't heard her mention the idea of ​​suicide, and she has made an appointment with a friend to go to Baicheng the day after tomorrow to learn about the nail industry.

She currently doesn't have a boyfriend, and she doesn't have an ambiguous man, so she can rule out committing suicide for love. "

"Do you have a history of depression?"

"No."

The Nanping police were investigating inside the house. Several of them put on their shoe covers and went in one after another. Gu Xun looked around. According to the housing price in Nanping County, the total price of a house of more than 80 square meters would cost more than 50 yuan. 70, a little girl, where does so much money come from?

"Have you checked Liu Na's bank account?"

"Zheng Tiancheng went to investigate. I'll call him now. With the money, Liu Na told her family that she won the lottery. Her family is relatively simple. They believed her words and were happy for a while." Meng Jiabian called Zheng Tiancheng On the phone, while talking.

Zheng Tiancheng quickly answered the phone, guessed the purpose of her call, and said bluntly: "In January, Liu Na took cash and deposited in two banks, the Agricultural Bank deposited 60 for buying a house, and the Construction Bank deposited 40 for daily expenses. "

Meng Jia glanced at Gu Xun, "It's cash, I can't find out the source."

Gu Xun didn't dare to leave the account for a transaction that was not seen. Gu Xun had expected it, nodded, and said nothing.

"January is the time when Liu Na resigned from Mediterranean. The money may be related to Zhou Zheng. What can a 17-year-old girl do?" Will you find these young girls and provide services to those people?"

"Prostitution|prostitution earns less than 100 million in three months, it should be a more lucrative transaction than prostitution." Lin Yiran said.

Meng Jia frowned, thought for a second, and said casually: "Drug production and drug trafficking are more profitable than prostitution."

After the words fell, Lin Yiran and Gu Xun looked up at her at the same time. The eyes of the three collided, and their expressions froze at the same time. No one spoke, and they exchanged silently with surprised eyes.

Meng Jia shuddered, "No...will you?"

Gu Xun's expression quickly returned to normal, "I'll find out if I check it out. First, let's see if there are any other clues at the scene, and then ask someone to check Liu Na's call records to find out who spoke to Liu Na last."

The three put aside their conjectures for the time being and started working.

Lin Yiran habitually looked through the closet. Liu Na didn't have many things, and they were stacked neatly. There was nothing special about looking through it. After closing the closet, he squatted down and opened the drawer of the bedside table. Inside was a pile of utility bills, under the bills There is a piece of A4 paper, which is a diagnosis sheet from the hospital, dated December 12 last year.

He rolled up the medical certificate, walked to Gu Xun, "drive me to the hospital."

"uncomfortable?"

"In the car."

On the way to the hospital, Gu Xun frowned, "Anal fissure? How did she get this disease?"

"Constipation is easy to cause. The time to visit the doctor was a few days before she resigned. If it is not constipation, it may be related to what Zhou Zheng is doing? So go to the hospital and confirm with the doctor."

Gu Xun tapped his finger on the steering wheel twice, "Is it really prostitution?"

Lin Yiran didn't answer, but turned to look out the car window.

There is a lake outside the car, the water surface reflects the blue sky, weeds grow wantonly by the lake, among the emerald green weeds, there is a fishing man, wearing a sun hat, staring at the fishing rod on the lake motionless.

Lin Yiran turned around, "Brother, in fact, investigating a case is quite similar to fishing. Sometimes we can't catch a big fish after a day. Sometimes we are busy for a long time and can't find any useful clues. Fishing requires patience, and investigating a case requires patience." Same, don’t worry, big fish will always bite.”

The doctor pulled out Liu Na's medical records and thought for a while, "I remember this patient. She was quite strange. After the examination, she was very anxious to ask me to prescribe medicine. She had no history of constipation. I asked the cause, but she didn't answer, except to prescribe medicine. Besides, don’t say a single word that’s superfluous.”

Leaving the consulting room, Lin Yiran ignored Gu Xun and walked with a dull head. When he arrived in the car, Gu Xun was not in a hurry to drive. He turned on the air conditioner and the two sat quietly in the car, meditating on each other.

"Shen Yici's stomach was cut open, and the stomach was cleaned. Brother, what they did was related to the human digestive system—" Lin Yiran lowered his voice as he spoke, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at Gu Xun.

Gu Xun understood what he meant, started the car and drove out, "Let's go to the anti-drug squad."

It was almost evening when we arrived at the anti-drug team in Baicheng. Gu Xun called the anti-drug team leader, but he didn't answer. They went upstairs, and a young man came down from the second floor in a panic, and ran down two steps at a time. He accidentally bumped into Gu Xun.

The young man turned his head and shouted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." His footsteps didn't stop.

"Excuse me, Team Zhao—" Before Gu Xun could finish speaking, he had already run upstairs.

Looking up again, two little girls in police uniforms ran upstairs and down, also in a hurry.

"They seem to be very busy, have a case?" Lin Yiran asked.

Gu Xun shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

The two walked to the second floor one after the other. The police were walking back and forth in the hall, and there was a lot of noise. Gu Xun wanted to ask someone to question him, but he couldn't catch anyone. He found Team Zhao's office based on his memory.

The office door was open, and someone inside was looking down for something. Gu Xun knocked on the door, and the man turned around. It was a young boy, "Looking for Team Zhao? He is in the interrogation room, please wait a moment."

Not knowing what information to look for, the young boy lowered his head and continued to search. After a while, he took out two pieces of paper, "What's your name? I'll tell Team Zhao when he comes out."

"Gu Xun."

"Ok."

The young male policeman walked for about 10 minutes. Zhao Dui came back and handed Gu Xun and Lin Yiran a cigarette each, "What brought Gu Gu here? Are you not busy recently?"

Gu Xun smiled slightly, "I have something to consult with you."

"You said."

Before Gu Xun could say anything, a woman wailed from outside: "Give me some more laxatives, I can't pull it out... Ouch! It hurts me to death."

The young boy who was rummaging through the things just now came in hurriedly, "Captain Zhao, Li Lanqin swallowed a lot, and the laxative was given to the maximum, but still can't excrete, what should I do?"

"I'll go over and have a look." Team Zhao took a step forward, then turned back, "I just captured a group of drug dealers. I'm busy today. If you're not in a hurry, I'll wait."

Gu Xun: "The thing I want to consult is related to this. Let's go and see, okay?"

"Of course you can, but the picture...is not very beautiful." Team Zhao suddenly smiled at this point, "I think too much, you have seen more ugly pictures than us, let's go."

Several people came to a room one after another. A woman named Li Lanqin was rolling on the floor in pain. A four or five-year-old girl was standing in the corner, looking at her blankly.

Team Zhao pointed to the child in the corner, and said to the policewoman, "Take her out first."

The policewoman carried the little girl out.

Then Team Zhao also went out, closed the door, and said to the young male policeman next to him: "If you still can't excrete later, contact the doctor to prepare for the operation. If you delay it, your life may be in danger. How about the others?"

"Except for Li Lanqin, all of them have excreted smoothly."

Seeing the doubts in Gu Xun's heart, most of them were resolved. Seeing that Team Zhao was free at the moment, he asked, "How much is it for one shipment?"

"Not necessarily." Team Zhao glanced at Li Lanqin in the room, "She only gave [-]."

Twenty thousand?

Gu Xun and Lin Yiran's gazes collided. The difference between 100 and [-] million made their previous deduction slightly shaken.

Gu Xun: "Aside from swallowing, is there any other way of transportation?"

"Yd or anal, either way is painful and dangerous, do you have a case related to that?"

Gu Xun: "Yeah, but right now we're just skeptical, there's no proof yet."

"Swallowing, things are in the stomach, you can keep them for four days without eating or drinking, but you have to endure the nausea and hunger brought by gastric peristalsis, and you have bad breath, other parts are filled with foreign objects, and you can't walk and run normally. If you are sure, take me to take a look and find out, if it is true, we will jointly investigate."

"People are dead."

Team Zhao: "..."

"There is a man named Zhou Zheng, registered in Yunnan, who currently runs a KTV in Nanping County. Have you checked him?"

"No."

Walking out of the anti-drug brigade, it was already dark. Gu Xun saw the time and drove back to the city bureau. At the gate of the police station, security guards stopped Gu Xun's car, "Captain Gu, a student is looking for you."

Gu Xun pressed down on the car window. The boy was wearing the school uniform of Nanping No. [-] Middle School and was carrying a black schoolbag on his back. Hearing the sound, he pushed his glasses and looked at him, "Get in the car."

The young man trotted to the side of the car, opened the door to enter, and sat down on the side.

Lin Yiran looked back at him, "You are He Liang?"

He Liang put his hands on his knees, nodded without saying a word.

"Are the final exams over?"

He Liang nodded again.

"You found it yourself?"

This time He Liang stopped nodding, and clenched his hands tightly into fists, asking instead: "I know Shen Yici is dead, I came here to know, how did you find out?"

Lin Yiran said lightly, "I just got some clues. If you are willing to tell us what you know, it may be faster."

He Liang moved his shoulders, sighed, and slowly spread his fists, "She didn't tell me anything. Guan Xitang told me about secretly working and saving money to go to college. She never reported good news to me but never bad news. .” He took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lin Yiran, “Look at the night she died, she lied to me that she was at school.”

Lin Yiran took the phone and glanced at the chat records of the two of them. They were all daily conversations between lovers. How bright was the phone? "You agreed to go to the same university?"

"Well, we made an appointment to go to Guangzhou, even if we are not in the same school, we are in the same city." He Liang stared at the phone screen, but his thoughts drifted to the day they agreed to go to Guangzhou, and he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

"Why choose Guangzhou?"

"Because it is far away from Baicheng, she wants to stay far away from home and never come back. She said that she will never have nostalgia in her life. Nanping is a nightmare, and she can only be relieved by staying away."

The day Shen Yici said this was Sunday, they were sitting on a bench in the park holding hands, she leaned her head on He Liang's shoulder, looking into the distance, her clear eyes full of hope and poetry.

"Why does she want to leave home?" Lin Yiran interrupted He Liang's memory.

"Her parents gave birth to four children in order to have a boy. Chaosheng's family was very poor. Later, her parents went out to work. During that time, she had her. It seemed that her mother didn't want to have one, but her father insisted on having one. After she was born, the mother had to take care of the children. , unable to work, relying on his father to make money alone, unable to support the family, life became more difficult, her mother attributed all this to her, so she hated her since she was a child, and her brothers and sisters were not good to her under her mother's education. He Liang smiled wryly, "In that kind of family, I am afraid that everyone would want to leave. Her mother is looking forward to her graduating from high school and returning to the village to marry. University, that’s why I went to KTV to work.” He Liang slammed his fist on the seat, “Blame me for being too poor and insignificant, I can’t help her with anything.”

Lin Yiran patted him on the shoulder, "You are already helping her."

"Ok?"

Lin Yiran smiled: "You are a ray of light in the dark night, giving her direction and hope."

In order to catch up with this beam of light, she took a detour and lost her life.

Lin Yiran didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Recently, the whole team was stationed in Nanping County, and the office of the Municipal Bureau was empty. Lin Yiran and Gu Xun finished their work and went home together.

When the car arrived downstairs, Gu Xun looked up and saw that the lights in his house were on. Gu Xun guessed that Gu Yuan was coming back. As soon as he entered the door, the living room smelled of wine, playing and singing with the guitar. After a month, Gu Yuan's hair color turned purple, and Romani on the table Conti drank most of the bottle, and he was playing the guitar while drinking.

Gu Xun lit a cigarette, and asked without emotion: "Have you got your diploma?"

Gu Yuan's hand playing the guitar stopped suddenly, took out his graduation certificate, and threw it on Gu Xun, "Grade, grade, you all know the grade since you were young. Has anyone asked me what I like? Has anyone cared about me? Finally After graduating, I was asked to take the postgraduate entrance examination, go abroad, and there is no end? Since Gu Xun is so good, why did you give birth to me? I used a knife to force you to give birth to me?"

Gu Xun caught the graduation certificate with one hand, and scolded, "What's wrong with you?"

With the guitar in his hand, Gu Yuan slammed it on the ground, "You guys are blind because you can't see my goodness. I want... proof, I want... brother... I want to vomit."

Gu Xun: "..."

After the drunk Gu Yuan fell asleep, he called his mother.

It took a long time for the mother to answer the phone, and there was a lot of noise from the phone. He looked up at the time at 11:30 in the evening, "Son, mom is singing in KTV... What do you do?"

"Gu Yuan quarreled with you?"

"I've been traveling for the past few days and haven't come home. You can call the nanny and ask."

Gu Xun: "..."

"It's okay, Mom hung up?"

"Can't you play less for a few days and care about him more?"

"Son, Mom told you that life is short and you must enjoy yourself in time. By the way, Mom introduced you to a girlfriend—"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xun hung up, tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He once thought that Shen's house was like a marsh, and he would sink into it and die, but what about his own house?He never thought that now it looks like a glass house covered with gold paper, with a gorgeous appearance. He didn't want to walk around with his parents these years, but he was actually escaping. run away.

At some point, there was someone behind him who gently hugged him, the aroma of the bath liquid swam into his nostrils, and Lin Yiran's half-dry hair rubbed against his neck, "Brother, have you ever wondered why Gu Yuan often dyes his hair?" ?”

"Following trends, not all young people like that."

"How many young people in our team have dyed their hair? In fact, Gu Yuan is quite insecure and longs for attention and approval from others. You can communicate with him in another way. It's fine if you lose your temper to me alone, and be gentle to Gu Yuan." point."

Gu Xun turned around and pinched Lin Yiran's chin, "Have a bad temper for you? Do you tend to be masochistic, or don't like my gentleness? Huh?"

Lin Yiran put one hand on his waist, and lightly touched the tip of his lips with the fingertips of the other hand, "Brother, you have never been gentle to me in these few years."

Gu Xun: "..."

After a moment of silence, he leaned close to Lin Yiran's forehead and kissed lightly, "It's my brother's fault. I made the child suffer. I will buy ice cream tomorrow to compensate you."

"No ice cream." Lin Yiran kissed his earlobe and whispered: "I want you."

In the middle of the night, whispers between lovers, full of affection, suddenly looking for the dedicated mobile phone to contact Lili, it rang untimely, the sound of flushing toilet water on the phone, accompanied by Lili's gnats and flies voice: "Gu Dui, I saw that X-legged man."

Gu Xun immediately sat up, "Where is he?"

The author has something to say: Thinking of what my friends said, I feel that Gu Xun is like receiving, and Lin Yiran is like attacking. The reason is because Gu Xun is straight, and it is not easy to break up a straight man. Lin Yiran must have paid a little more in the early stage.

Gu Xun has slowly entered a certain state, let's wait for Brother Xun to exert his strength.
