Chasing the Mist

Gu Xun and Meng Jia went to the monitoring room of the community property. In the surveillance video at the gate, Zheng Tiancheng left the community at two o'clock in the morning. He didn't leave immediately at the gate of the community. He stood on the side of the road with his head down and played with his mobile phone. , he got into the car and drove west.

Meng Jia kept rubbing her fingers, her voice trembling slightly, "Boss, where did he go in the middle of the night?"

Gu Xun was tall, like a big mountain in front of Meng Jia, "He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone the whole time, he should meet the people in the group, don't worry." His voice was deep and deep, reassuring.

Meng Jia followed his words and calmed down, nodded, "Could it be the murderer?"

"Not sure, go back and check the route of this taxi first."

On the way back to the Municipal Bureau, the inquisitive Meng Jia fell silent. She turned her head and looked out the window. She didn't feel much about Zheng Tiancheng at first. Going upstream, meticulous care and company, moved her a little bit, and she was very happy during this period of love.

Zheng Tiancheng's sudden disappearance made her terrified and uneasy, and even had an ominous premonition. She didn't dare to speak out about her premonition, fearing it would come true.

"Did he say anything to you last night?"

Gu Xun's words dragged Meng Jia out of her wild thoughts. She thought about it carefully. They chatted as usual last night. There was nothing unusual. He said that the case went well, and he didn't talk much about it.

"It seems that it was a temporary decision to go out last night. I contacted Miao Mi and asked him to pull me into the group." Gu Xun paused, and then said: "No, no newcomers can be added to the group, only through Zhang Lan/Lan account for clues."

In order not to arouse everyone's panic, Gu Xun did not disclose the matter immediately when he returned to the police station, but investigated it himself. Meng Jia went to bring Zhang Lan/Lan to the police station, and he went to check the taxi information and act separately.

When Gu Xun came back to the city bureau, he went straight into the monitoring room and didn't come out for lunch break. Seeing that he didn't come out for dinner, Lin Yiran went in and asked, "Brother, don't you eat?"

Gu Xun stared at the surveillance video played on the screen and shook his head.

"How is Brother Cheng? Not at home?"

"No, he went out more often in the early morning, took a taxi at the gate of the community and left, and didn't come back after that."

Zheng Tiancheng usually likes to joke and is very naughty. Lin Yiran, like the rest of the team, thought that no one would think that he was missing due to other reasons such as waking up late, dead mobile phone, traffic lights, etc. At this time, Lin Yiran realized the seriousness of the problem Sexually, he pulled out the chair and sat down beside Gu Xun, "Have you checked the whereabouts of the taxi?"

"I checked, the taxi went to Nanping County."

Lin Yiran: "Nanping County? What did Brother Cheng do in Nanping County? Lin Yiran was puzzled.

Gu Xun: "I don't know. From the last video of the taxi disappearing, it seems that the car is going in the direction of Ningshui Village. Ask the taxi driver later."

"Go, go now."

"Wait for Meng Jia to come back, let's go together."

"I'll go to the cafeteria first, what do you eat?"

"I'm not hungry, don't bring it to me."

Lin Yiran folded his arms around his chest and stared at Gu Xun, his eyes could eat him up. After 2 minutes, Gu Xun was defeated, "I'll go to the cafeteria with you."

Lin Yiran smiled in satisfaction, and touched the back of his neck, "That's good."

Gu Xun: "Your action seems to be petting a dog?"

Lin Yiran: "..."

In just a few days, Gu Xun was visibly thinner, and Lin Yiran kept adding meat to his dinner plate, "Brother Cheng, he has been working for a long time, and his awareness of precautions is not too weak. He must be fully prepared when he goes out alone, so don't worry too much about it." Worry."

Gu Xun looked at the meat on the dinner plate, unable to whet his appetite, put down his chopsticks, and said, "In the surveillance video of the community, he was wearing a thin coat in early autumn, without a backpack, and without carrying anything. He was looking at his phone while walking. The look is in a hurry, do you seem to be fully prepared?"

"With Brother Cheng's working hours and personality, he won't act without authorization. Is there an emergency?"

Gu Xun rubbed his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

After the meal, Meng Jia came back with Zhang Lan/Lan.

The police interviewed Zhang Lan/Lan three times these days, and she was a little confused, "What happened to the police comrade? I have always cooperated with the investigation."

Meng Jia: "Thank you for your understanding, we need to use your mobile phone this time."

Zhang Lan/Lan hurriedly took out three mobile phones from the bag, and put them in a row on the table, "Which one do you use? Just take it."

"Which movie is in the same group as Miao Mi?"

Zhang Lan/Lan took out the middle one and handed it over.

Zheng Tiancheng was a talkative person, and soon chatted with netizens in the group. There were a lot of chat records. Gu Xun found no useful information after reading it. It seems that the other party approached Zheng Tiancheng through private chat. "Can you tell us the account password? We need to be close." Monitoring group members."

Zhang Lan/Lan took out the sticky note he carried with him, wrote his username and password on it, and handed it to Gu Xun.

"Last night, do you know who had private chats with the new police officers?"

"I don't know, unless we have a need, we won't click on this group easily, and we rarely read chat records."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhang Lan/Lan didn't have any useful clues, so Gu Xun drove Meng Jia and Lin Yiran to find the taxi driver from last night to check the situation.

After looking at the photos, the taxi driver thought for a while, "Oh, I remember this customer. He got on the bus from the city and went to Nanping County first, and then turned into a village from Nanping County before getting off."

"What village? Have you seen it clearly?"

"I didn't see the name of the village clearly. The guest personally showed the way. He turned around and stopped by a reservoir. You can go to the villages in Nanping County and find out how many have reservoirs."

As soon as the words fell, the three of Gu Xun looked at each other at the same time, and the words Ningshui Village popped out of their minds at the same time.

Lin Yiran asked, "Did he say anything to you on the way?"

"I don't want to travel long distances at night. He said I went to Nanping County, but when he arrived at the county, he changed to the village. It was late and the road was off. I was always uneasy and couldn't help but observe him more. The guest was very silent and kept his head down playing with his mobile phone or looking out of the window. I asked him what he was doing in the village so late, and he said fishing, so he told me this sentence."

Gu Xun instantly solved Zheng Tiancheng's question about traveling without authorization. He is not an undisciplined and unorganized person. He acted rashly in the middle of the night. Someone must have used that "fishing" operation. Meng Jia's injury stimulated him, which attracted him He went to Ningshui Village.

Zhang Yanchen is no longer alive, and there are very few people in the police station who know the truth. Why is the location chosen in Ningshui Village?

The three of them immediately headed to Ningshui Village. Gu Xun and Lin Yiran had visited this village a lot last month, and Gu Xun had already memorized the route by heart.

The autumn sun is shining brightly, the wind is beautiful, and the reservoir in Ningshui Village was contracted to raise fish two years ago. There is a fishing boat floating on the water, surrounded by patches of golden rice fields, and the nameless barren hills in the distance are also decorated with gold.

Everything around the reservoir was as usual, as if Zheng Tiancheng had never been here.

The fishing boat docked, and the two fishermen disembarked. After listening to the police's questioning, they shook their heads repeatedly. They were not here at night, and they didn't know who appeared in the middle of the night.

Everyone in the village went to bed early, and the roads were not monitored. It was a waste of time for three people to search for people from the village. Gu Xun called for reinforcements. Gu Xun took some people to search from the village, and Lin Yiran took the other part to the surrounding barren mountains and fields Search.

When passing by the Shen family's house, Gu Xun stopped in his tracks. The Shen house was already empty, the courtyard gate was locked, the curtains were drawn tightly, and it was exposed to the wind and sun all year round. On the faded iron door, there was a brand new lock. He He picked up the lock and looked at it.

Meng Jia: "The door lock looks like it was just changed?"

"Go, go in and have a look."

Meng Jia bent down and picked up the brick next to her, ready to throw it at the door lock.

Gu Xun grabbed the bricks and threw them away, took out a small box of tools, unlocked the door in twos and twos, walked through the courtyard and entered the room, when he pushed the door, the bloody smell came in his face, the doors of the east and west bedrooms were closed, and the door of the living room was folded. The dining table was put away, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing related to blood.

The two turned their heads and went into different rooms. Meng Jia just opened the door of Shen Yibei's bedroom, and then there were hysterical screams.

The cry seemed to pass through the eardrums and penetrate into Gu Xun's heart. He guessed something, turned around and saw a head hanging on the door frame of Shen Yibei's room.
