Nine in the morning.

Jingpu City Police Department.

The meeting room was brightly lit, and the technical inspector kept typing on the keyboard, while the graphic inspector focused on the surveillance video on the screen.Except for more and more coffee and strong tea on the table, cigarette butts piled up in several ashtrays, and the increasingly obvious anxiety and hidden depression on everyone's faces, there was no difference from the night before.

There are reasons to be frustrated.After all, no one expected that after a whole night of high-intensity work, there was still no trace of Zhao Jiayang and Tao Fengche.

This is not because the police in the task force are not capable enough, it is because Zhao Jiayang's anti-reconnaissance ability is too strong.

After the method of locating Zhao Jiayang's location through the communication base station failed, the technical detective screened all his call records and residence, but the result was not optimistic—the call records were clean, and no mistakes could be found.And those mansions under Zhao Jiayang's name either lived with his lover, or were completely idle.

The technical investigation hacked into the property system, and then retrieved the surveillance video of each residential area for nearly half a month one by one, but still found nothing.

Jingpu covers a vast area and is densely populated. Most of the cars used by Zhao Jiayang are license plates, which are frequently replaced, and the drivers only choose trails that are not monitored. After working hard all night, the map investigation still failed to find out his location. .

Although there is no entry and exit record of Zhao Jiayang and Tao Fengche at the customs, and the application for private jet routes at the Aviation Administration Bureau is also normal, and no abnormal routes have been found, but this does not mean that he is trapped in Kyushu.

Everyone in the meeting room knew that if Zhao Jiayang drove directly to the port, then took a boat to the high seas, and finally took a small helicopter, he could leave the country.

This also meant that all members of the special case team arrived and worked all night. In the end, no one knew where Zhao Jiayang was, or even whether he was still on the land of Kyushu.

The chief of the police station still has a meeting to hold today, so he left at four o'clock in the morning. Jiang Jingyun and Sui Yuesheng sent him out of the police station together and watched him leave.Immediately afterwards, Sui Yuesheng dismissed Jiang Jingyun, stood alone in the cold wind for half a quarter of an hour, and returned to the conference room again.

At the beginning of six o'clock, Yu Hebai was the first to fail.After questioning the police, he went to the office familiarly, and moved a camp bed to the conference room.He put it in the corner of the conference room, shook off his coat and covered him like a quilt, and fell asleep exhausted.

When the hour hand was about to reach the number "8", even Jiang Jingyun propped his head on one hand, sat at the table and dozed off in a daze.

Half an hour later, Jiang Jingyun woke up suddenly, but was surprised to find that Sui Yuesheng was still awake, staring at the screen in front of him with all his attention.

Sui Yuesheng stayed up all night.

After finishing the call with Zhao Jiayang and learning that the positioning failed, he took several deep breaths, trying to restrain his explosive desire, and forced himself to sit back on the stool.After calming down a bit, he went out and made a few phone calls, informing the remaining bodyguards of the Tao family to join the search team immediately.

After returning to the conference room again, he took the initiative to ask for a computer from the TuCun, and helped them check the surveillance video together, until now.

The work of solving the case was at a bottleneck. The kidnapped was the only seedling of the Tao family, and a high-ranking member of parliament was here to accompany him around the clock. All the police officers were on standby.The meeting room was terribly quiet, except for the rattling of keyboards, there was only the occasional whisper of conversation when exchanging progress.

"Boom, boom, boom."

What broke the tranquility was a field worker who walked like the wind. He pushed open the door of the conference room, and his boots hit the ground with a crisp sound.

Sui Yuesheng was still staring at the computer intently, Jiang Jingyun looked around, resigned himself to the communication work, got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The task force leader nodded to the field staff, indicating that the latter could inform them of the progress.

The three quickly disappeared outside the door.

After a while, Jiang Jingyun pushed open the door, walked to Sui Yuesheng's seat, and tapped the table with the knuckles of his index finger.

Sui Yuesheng raised his head and looked away from the screen, only to realize that Jiang Jingyun was holding two transparent evidence bags.He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The field office found something." Jiang Jingyun thought about his words, "But it's not good news, and it doesn't help solve the case. You decide whether to listen or not."

Sui Yuesheng picked up the cold black coffee on the table with his right hand and took a sip, squinting his eyes from the stimulation of the sour liquid, and his brain became more awake.Stomach cramps as if there was a crazy dehydrating washing machine spinning in it, under the cover of the tabletop, Sui Yuesheng pressed it firmly with his left hand without any trace, and said in a deep voice: "You tell me."

He is a very talented actor, and Jiang Jingyun really didn't notice any clues.

"Zhao Jiayang and Tao Fengche's mobile phone cards were located at the same location at the end, and they were both at a place a few kilometers away from Tao Fengche's school. After finding out the approximate location, several field workers went out to look for it, and finally found two mobile phones. The mobile phone card is still inserted in the mobile phone, but unfortunately the mobile phone has been crushed by the wheels and thrown directly on the side of the road."

Jiang Jingyun said, and handed the evidence bag in front of Sui Yuesheng: "It's all here. But the task force leader just told me that if it is broken like this, there is no possibility of recovering the data."

After Jiang Jingyun finished explaining, Sui Yuesheng realized that the electronic fragments in the evidence bag came from the mobile phone.

He took the evidence bag and didn't choose to open it, but just looked through the bag carefully.After a while, he said, "The one on the right should be Tao Fengche's new phone."

Not long ago he saw Tao Fengche use it on the dining table, but now it has become a pile of unrecognizable fragments.

Then Tao Fengche...

Sui Yuesheng didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He sighed deeply, covered his eyes with his hands, and then leaned back on the chair as if he had collapsed, as if his bones were suddenly taken away by the creator.

Jiang Jingyun looked at Sui Yuesheng silently, feeling that the latter was on the verge of collapse.

In Jiang Jingyun's memory, Sui Yuesheng has always been well-dressed, as if he could go directly to the fashion week at any time.The two have known each other for many years, even during the final exam month when DDL was a mountain of nightmares, or during the campaign period when Sui Yuesheng came to help him with jet lag, he had never seen Sui Yuesheng look slovenly.

Yu Hebai made a joke a long time ago, saying that Sui Yuesheng is either a reincarnated robot or a late-stage cleanser.The three of them were working on their papers in the coffee shop at the time, Sui Yuesheng showed a threatening smile to Yu Hebai, he didn't affirm, but he didn't deny it either.

But today's Sui Yuesheng has nothing to do with all this.

He didn't sleep all night, let alone take a shower. The handmade suit that was ironed properly is now full of wrinkles, and even the tie has become wilted.The technical detectives rely on smoking to refresh themselves. Although Sui Yuesheng didn't smoke, he was forced to inhale second-hand smoke all night, and his body was full of the smell of burnt tobacco.

This kind of birth with the moon is completely unfamiliar to Jiang Jingyun.

Jiang Jingyun was silent for a while, then sighed: "Why don't you take a nap first? There are many beds for naps in the police station, and they often use them when they work overtime. Yu Hebai has already taken one and said there is still room left. Yes. It is indeed relatively simple and the conditions are difficult, but at least you can lie down and sleep for a while."

"If you want it, I'll bring you one in, and I'll call you when the time comes?"

Jiang Jingyun's eyes were full of worry. Facing his friend's kindness, Sui Yuesheng managed to squeeze out a smile, trying to reassure him, but it looked uglier than crying.

Then he shook his head and refused, his voice hoarse: "How do you let me sleep?"

His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes from staying up all night, and with those cobalt blue eyes, he looked extraordinarily scary.His face and lips were as pale as paper, matching his light gray hair. He looked like a vampire who had been dead for many years in the legends of the Western Continent.

But Sui Yuesheng is indeed a real person.

He's sleepy, too, or else he wouldn't be on caffeine.His body kept protesting to him. He really wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep, let alone close his eyes.

He was afraid that he would miss the first-hand information because of his deep sleep, and he was also afraid of the bloody images that would appear when he closed his eyes.

He has superb marksmanship and superb martial arts skills. He also knows that he has not lived a peaceful life in the Western Continent and devoted himself to learning.He was able to shoot and kill people without blinking his eyes very early on, and he thought he was used to the scenes of brains bursting and limbs being broken.

But when the protagonist of the incident became Tao Fengche, or was only possibly Tao Fengche, he still felt palpitations one after another because of this, so that he couldn't sleep at night.

Jiang Jingyun was silent for a long time, but in the end he didn't speak. He just stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder silently and forcefully.

After a while, the silence was broken again.

"Hey, I'm here to bring you some food! My hands are full, so hurry up and open the door!"

A few internal staff yelled at the door of the conference room to open it, and a young Tuchen stuck out his tongue and ran to open the door for them.

Jiang Jingyun followed Yuesheng and looked at each other, both of them were surprised.

Perhaps they had been warned by the TuCun who played the vanguard. After learning that the congressman was still inside, a few internal staff entered the door with more seriousness.They cleaned up the messy table and put the bags full of lunch boxes on the table.

"There was a big G parked at the door, and a young alpha got off. He said it was food delivered by Tao's family, so we brought it up."

All the internal staff knew that they could not ask questions related to the case, so they left after saying this, leaving only the people in the conference room staring at the lunch box.

Jiang Jingyun looked at Sui Yuesheng, a little surprised, and hinted with his eyes: The person you sent?

Sui Yuesheng shook his head in bewilderment.He has always been considerate in everything he does, but Tao Fengche was kidnapped by Zhao Jiayang, and he cared a lot. He really didn't expect this.

... Who would that be?

If Assistant Zhou came to deliver it, it wouldn't be under the banner of the Tao family.

He pondered for two seconds, took out his personal mobile phone and glanced at it, and sure enough, there was an unread text message from Xu Song, and the content was exactly as he thought.

"Xu Bo did it. I called him when I went out last night." Sui Yuesheng finished explaining to Jiang Jingyun in a low voice but quickly, then cleared his throat, stood up, with a proper smile on his face.

"It's really hard work, fellow police officers. I don't know what I can do to help. Seeing that you haven't eaten much, I decided to ask my family to bring some food. The meals are relatively simple. Please don't be disgusted."

Sui Yuesheng's posture is very low, everyone is quite surprised, but also a little embarrassed - without him, Sui Yuesheng's other identity now is the family of the hostage, and these things are generally not accepted by them.

...But I'm really hungry.

I didn't feel it when I had nothing to eat, but now that the hot food was placed in front of me, the hunger seemed unbearable.

The police officers turned their attention to the boss for help, and the leader of the task force thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Sui Yuesheng finally felt relieved.

Jiang Jingyun was half a step behind him. Looking at Sui Yuesheng's back, he felt like he saw a poppy flower in a rainstorm. Although the branches were straight, they were all supported by one breath, and they were in danger of breaking at any time. .
