Mystery Pursuit

"The lake is frozen in winter, the water temperature is extremely low, and it is difficult to salvage. Is Zhang Yuanyuan dead? Is it difficult to confirm whether the body is underwater? The case is not under our control now. It is appropriate to send too many people there."

Yu Ye thought for a while, "Well, let's tell the police in the town over there all the information and clues we have found these days. It is up to them to decide whether to send people to salvage. This time the salvage is difficult and requires many people. It is indeed inappropriate for people to salvage in the past.”

"We've tried our best, and we'll leave the rest to the town over there." Wu Yuzhou closed his eyes and rested on the seat, and the car fell into silence.

It was getting dark, the car drove into the urban area, turned into the neon world, and when waiting for the red light, Yu Ye said: "You showed the KTV manager He Yunting's photo because you suspect they know each other?"

Hearing that Wu Yuzhou opened his eyes and sat up straight, "Well, when I just returned to Jingchuan, I received two strange letters."

"What letter?"

"The anonymous letter that led me to Liu Qin's house was also the reason why I appeared at the scene of Liu Qin's case." Wu Yuzhou will repeat the whole process of receiving the anonymous letter to Yu Ye.

"A few years ago, Wang Zijia was still a child. The monitoring aunt must have been instructed by someone behind her. Even I didn't know that you were alive. Who else would know?"

"I don't know. The people behind him may be related to my family's case. Otherwise, why are you afraid of me coming back?"

"But how would the murderer know that the other two corpses in the room are your cousins? Unless he knew you, there is another point I didn't understand. After the murderer committed the crime, he directly poured gasoline and set the house on fire. The corpses were burnt beyond recognition, and everything in the room was destroyed, how did Zhou Qilu escape under such a fierce fire?"

Wu Yuzhou looked at the flashing neon street scene outside the window, and shook his head, "I don't know, they were all there when I left home that night."

"How do you know she's okay?"

"At that time, Du Huasheng sent someone to secretly collect DNA from the corpse, and it was confirmed that the two young corpses were my cousin and cousin."

"Alas! Those who were in charge of investigating the case later thought that the two corpses were you and your sister, and no one has checked your sister's whereabouts these years..."

Wu Yuzhou turned his gaze back, "I know that looking for her is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I have to try, otherwise I won't be able to face my parents after I die."

"Send me the photo of Lulu in the bar, and I'll have someone check it out. Have you seen the bar surveillance?"

"When I first came back, I didn't have a police officer's card, and the bar manager refused to show it. Since then, there have been cases that I haven't made time for."

"Let's go, let's go now." Yu Ye entered the address of the bar in the navigation, and half an hour later, he arrived at the bar where Zhou Qilu had been. Card, find out the image of the day Zhou Qilu appeared.

February NO.14 Valentine's Day bar was very crowded, the camera at the entrance of the bar at [-]:[-] pm captured Zhou Qilu wrapped in a down jacket with her arms around another girl entering the door.

Yu Ye zoomed the video to the maximum, the girl Zhou Qilu was holding looked like Chai Huan, he said, "Do you think this girl looks like Chai Huan?"

Wu Yuzhou leaned close to the computer screen, and took a closer look at the girl in the image. The girl's face and facial features were the same as Chai Huan's, except that the corners of her mouth drooped, which was different from the smiling lips later, "It's Chai Huan. Lip, she really knows Lulu."

The bar was dimly lit and there were many people, so the video was not clear, but Zhou Qilu's general movements could still be discerned carefully.

She and Chai Huan entered the door and took off their heavy down jackets, put them in a locker, and went to the bar to order two glasses of wine. Invited by a stranger to the dance floor, the two girls were drinking and dancing in the video. Nothing else happened. Zhou Qilu started swaying from side to side when walking in the early morning. She obviously drank too much. Pick up at the back door, behind the bar is a small alley in the old city, without cameras.

Yu Ye pointed to the young girl framed on the computer screen, "I haven't seen you in so many years, are you sure this is Zhou Qilu?"

"The facial features and face are too similar to my mother, and Chai Huan, Wang Zijia and others know my real identity, so there should be no mistake."

"Then let's ask Chai Huan again, since we know her, we must know where Lulu is?"

"Go out and talk." Wu Yuzhou turned and walked out, out of the bar, "Do you still remember the 'school' that Chai Huan mentioned? My sister may also be in it, otherwise how could I know Chai Huan and the others, it must be close. I'll tell them about my family."

"In this case, Wang Zijia monitored you back to Jingchuan, why didn't Zhou Qilu come to you? Also, that 'school' is a criminal gang that trains murderers. If Zhou Qilu is in it, the situation is very dangerous, and she is likely to commit a crime. "

"This is what worries me the most. We need to find her as soon as possible. Chai Huan and the other four have been trained to be very strict with their mouths. Feng Zhide and Wang Zijia are already dead. Compared with Chai Huan, Li Yan's emotions are relatively easy to break through. I wanted to ask him that day at the apartment, but he escaped."

"No matter how you look at it right now, Li Yan is a key person, and the most urgent thing is to find him as soon as possible." Yu Ye called Wu Fei, hung up the phone, and said, "Xiao Wu is tracking Li Yan, but I haven't tracked him yet. Come on, wait a little longer."

Wang Zijia's case was not under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Bureau. Yu Ye told the local police all the clues he had found and did not continue to pursue the case. In the last few days of the end of the year, he was busy with year-end reports and meetings, and he couldn't see anyone every day.

In the blink of an eye, several people in the team took turns to rest. Wu Yuzhou and Zhang Miao made an appointment to meet on New Year's Day. This afternoon, Wu Yuzhou went to Zhang Miao's hot pot restaurant at the agreed time, opened the door of the private room, and the room was full of people. Wu Weiguo He and Zhang Yan's family also came, and they were the same people who greeted him at Wu's house last time.

Wu Jingyi came running up and down, and hugged Wu Yuzhou's arm in front of her, "Why did Brother Zheng come here?"

"There is a traffic jam on the road." Wu Yuzhou turned his gaze to everyone, "I didn't know everyone was there, I've been waiting for a long time."

Zhang Miao took a step forward, "I blame me for being too busy recently, I forgot to tell you."

"fine."

Wu Jingyi let go of Wu Yuzhou, and hugged Zhang Miao's arm again, "Brother Miao, can we have dinner now? I like your spicy pot bottom the most, it's so spicy."

Zhang Miao smiled, "Today I will cook a small pot for you with the hottest bottom, so that you can really feel what is spicy."

Wu Weiguo's wife quickly said: "Don't listen to Jingyi's nonsense, just eat with us."

Everyone was laughing and chatting, the three families were as lively as before, Wu Yuzhou was in a good mood, he had two drinks with Brother Zhang Miao, went to the bathroom on the way, came out to the sink, washed his face with water, looked up in the mirror and saw Wu Weiguo just came out of it , asked: "Drink too much?"

Wu Yuzhou touched the water drops on his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm a little dizzy, wash your face and wake up."

Wu Weiguo took out a packet of tissue and handed it to him, "Hurry up and wipe it off, the corridor is very windy."

Wu Yuzhou dried his face, returned the remaining tissues to Wu Weiguo, and the two walked side by side to the private room, "How is Uncle Wu?"

"The final exam is coming soon, and I'm a little busy. Children are delicate and difficult to manage now. Unlike yours, the disobedient skinny boy became obedient after a few slaps. Now he doesn't dare to touch a finger."

"Being a head teacher is tiring, so you haven't considered changing to another position?"

"The school offered to be promoted, but I refused. I don't have the brains to be a leader, and I don't like to sit high, so I am willing to be with the children. Watching them go crazy, I seem to be younger." Thinking of the students Wu Weiguo smiled kindly.

"There are very few people like Uncle Wu who can persist in doing what they like for so many years without being tempted by profit."

"This is worthless, don't learn from me."

"I am a student taught by you, how can I not learn from you?"

Wu Weiguo smiled even brighter, "You brat has been sweet and coaxing since he was a child, how are you doing recently? Are you busy?"

"Not too busy."

Wu Weiguo joked, "The murderer rests at the end of the year?"

"Maybe go home for the New Year."

The two entered the private room chatting and laughing. Wu Jingyi walked over with her younger brother in her arms, and put her younger brother in Wu Weiguo's arms, "Your son bullied me and hugged him. Hurry up and hug him. My arms are going to be crippled."

Wu Weiguo took his youngest son to the side to play with. Wu Jingyi had never had contact with a criminal policeman, and she was full of curiosity about this profession.

Looking at Wu Jingyi's lively and lovely appearance, Wu Yuzhou thinks of her sister Wu Jingzhu. Wu Jingzhu used to pester him and Zhang Miao like this when she was a child. Wu Weiguo and his wife have regular jobs, stable income, stable relationship between husband and wife, and a good family atmosphere, so the children of the Wu family are optimistic cheerful.

With such an excellent family atmosphere, why did Wu Jingzhu not come back after leaving home for many years?

Thinking of Wu Jingzhu's love for his sister the most, he asked, "Has Jingzhu ever contacted you?"

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Wu Jingyi's face froze instantly, her wide eyes stared straight at Wu Yuzhou, and after two seconds, her black eyes turned to Wu Weiguo and his wife, and she whispered, "No."

After the conversation stopped, the private room became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Wu Yuzhou felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he didn't ask any more questions, and casually shifted to his studies. Wu Jingyi answered the questions truthfully, but the innocent joy before was missing.

All the people in the room felt sleepy at the end of the day, and went back to sleep one after another. Zhang Miao and Wu Yuzhou, two older single men, were left in the room.

I drank a lot of wine just now, and basically didn’t eat. Now everyone is gone, and I can eat quietly. Zhang Miao asked the noodles to be cooked in a hot pot. But Zhuzi didn’t come back alive, and even had a big fight with his parents. Uncle Wu became angry and severed the father-daughter relationship with Zhuzi on the spot. After that, whenever anyone asked about Zhuzi, he said he was dead, and left Zhuzi behind. If it is burned, the family members are not allowed to mention bamboo again.”

Zhang Miao sighed and continued: Except for my family who knew about Zhuzi, other old neighbors thought that Zhuzi died in an accident in the south. You just came back and didn’t understand the situation, so Uncle Wu was not angry. Instead, my brother and I asked this question. , He put away his chopsticks and left. One year he went to visit my dad at my house. My mother advised him not to be angry with Zhuzi. His own child broke a bone and the tendons are still connected. Can he really break the relationship?As a result, he didn't eat at my house, and he slammed the door and left. Afterwards, no one dared to mention bamboo in front of him. "

"I remember that Zhuzi used to have a good relationship with his parents. How could there be such a trouble?"

"The year I went to find Zhuzi, she didn't tell me the reason. No one dared to ask Uncle Wu. My mother asked Aunt Wu before and didn't tell me what happened. Only their family knows... Maybe there is a misunderstanding? untie."

"What misunderstandings will open-minded parents like Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu have?"

"Yes, when I was divided into arts and sciences in high school, my mother wanted me to be a doctor, and she insisted on letting me study science. I was not interested in science, and I had an argument with my mother. I didn't go home for a few days. In the end, Uncle Wu came forward to persuade me. My mother figured it out after a while, and I was very envious of the freedom and democracy of Uncle Wu's family."

"He can even understand that I like men. What else can't he understand about his daughter?"

Zhang Miao sighed again, "I don't know, I really miss Zhuzi. If we can meet again, I will definitely chase her. Last time I couldn't let go of my parents and missed her."

Wu Yuzhou patted Zhang Miao on the shoulder and said nothing.

The two brothers chatted until the early hours of the morning, and were woken up by the ringing of the mobile phone in the morning. Wu Yuzhou usually sleeps very lightly. Last night, he drank some wine and fell into a deep sleep. The mobile phone rang twice and was not answered. Zhang Miao was annoyed by the loud ringing, and pushed Wu Yuzhou, "Zheng Er, you are on the phone."

Wu Yuzhou answered "Hello" in a daze.

"Where are you? Didn't you come home last night?" Yu Ye's urgent voice.

"At Zhang Miao's place, what's the matter?"

"Send me a location, I'll pick you up... Zhang Yuanyuan is dead, the body was just found this morning."

Wu Yuzhou sat up abruptly, "Where was the body found?"
