Where did Jin Jiaxuan go?

——Why should I go to find someone with him?

Jin Xu drove out from the police station in the police car, and Shang Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was thinking about this question, and began to regret that he should not have promised Wu Fenglan that "I will supervise them".

Yuan Ding in the back row was very excited and asked, "Brother Jin, where are we going now? To find Liu Weidong's ex-wife? To the hospital where she works?"

"No," Jin Xu said, "Go to the long-distance station, find out where he went a week ago, contact him as soon as possible, and ask him to call Wu Fenglan back."

The ticketing system of the local bus passenger transport has not yet been connected to the public security network.

Shang Yang deliberately said: "Can't you send a police officer to this kind of errands to check the records? After all, he is the deputy director of the sub-bureau. Don't you want to lose face?"

Jin Xu said in disbelief: "Director Shang, I went to find someone in person because I was following your orders. After all, you are also a researcher at the deputy director level, don't you want to lose face?"

Shang Yang: "..."

Yuan Ding pretended not to hear anything, looking left and right to enjoy the scenery outside the car window.

Shang Yang glanced sideways at Jin Xu, and Jin Xu also turned his head to look at him, his eyes were still brimming with joy.

Shang Yang was puzzled and asked, "Jin Xiaoxu, what are you happy about?"

Jin Xu said: "I'm not happy when you come to see me? Then when will I be happy?"

But the classmate friendship between you and me is far from being so joyful as a reunion, right?

At least Shang Yang did not, and even had a fresh sense of strangeness towards this old classmate.

Undoubtedly, Jin Xu's changes have been huge. When he was in school, he didn't like to talk very much. He was relatively silent and rarely smiled.

When we met the year before last, he was a little more talkative than when he was a student, but it may be because of his illness, there is always an unconcealable depression in his expression.

This Jin Xu is completely different now, he is active and cheerful. He doesn't know how he has cultivated in the past few years, as if some kind of seal has been broken.Might it really be the job/promotion that makes people happy?

Yuan Ding poked his head forward from between the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat, and asked, "Jin Xiaoxu? Is that the brother's nickname?"

Jin Xu replied: "It used to be the name, but it was changed after work."

Shang Yang said: "Probably because I feel that the bastard spirit of the original name is not enough."

He was mocking Jin Xu's sudden name change, but Jin Xu echoed, "Indeed, the original name is not conducive to deterring criminals."

Shang Yang: "..."

Yuan Dingxiang found a confidant and said: "I also want to change my name, otherwise every time I introduce myself, people will ask me if I am a teacher at the first reaction. It's a pity that my parents don't let me change it. Brother Jin, why do you Convince your parents to agree to your name change?"

"Yuan Ding," Shang Yang interrupted abruptly, "Call the research institute and ask when the heating subsidies will be issued this year?"

Yuan Ding said blankly: "Now? Call back and ask this?"

Shang Yang said: "It's okay to call back, you remember, I'm afraid I'll forget."

"Okay." Yuan Ding came to his senses, and Director Shang interrupted him to prevent him from continuing to ask about Jin Xu's parents.

He was afraid of saying something wrong again, so he shut up and retreated to the back row to sit down.

At first, Shang Yang and Jin Xu were at odds because he was always gloomy and alone, which gave people a cynical first impression. After a few days of meeting at the beginning of school, Shang Yang attributed him to the aura of disharmony. of that kind of people.

Later, after a long time, the two had had several frictions, both openly and secretly, before Shang Yang heard that Jin Xu's parents had died early, and he had been living with relatives under the fence since he was a teenager.

The word "parents" refers to Jin Xu's Nilin. Once other students inadvertently asked about it, Jin Xu turned his face on the spot and reacted quite violently.

Later, when Shang Yang had a quarrel with him, he would avoid mentioning his parents in front of him.

In the final analysis, the two didn't have any principled discord back then, it was more like two second-stage boys who started to compete with each other over inexplicable trivial matters.

Arrived at the long-distance station.

Before Wu Fenglan reported the case for the first time, the police who received the case checked the monitoring of Liu Weidong’s residential area and found that he had taken a taxi to the long-distance station. They had already checked the station’s monitoring and ticket purchase list, and confirmed that Liu Weidong bought it in the morning a week ago. A ticket to the provincial capital, and then boarded the long-distance bus corresponding to the ticket at the station.

Just two days later, the police came again, and this time it was the director of the police station.

The station manager was quite nervous, afraid of causing trouble, and repeatedly emphasized that all the ticket sales and departure procedures at the station absolutely complied with the regulations, and the monitoring can be checked casually without any dead ends.

Jin Xu asked him: "Is that bus there now? Find the driver or the conductor."

The manager said: "No, I leave for the provincial capital at eight o'clock in the morning every day, run back and forth in a day, and return to Baiyuan around four o'clock in the afternoon."

"When the car comes back, let us know." Jin Xu gave the manager his phone number.

While saving the number, the manager secretly looked at Shang Yang who had never revealed his identity.

Let's say he is a policeman. Common policemen are actually quite rough, and they are not at all.Let’s say he is not a policeman, since his stance and expression are very public security.

Jin Xu introduced in a non-serious way: "This is my leader."

Shang Yang: "..."

The manager is busy: "Hello, leader."

Shang Yang had no choice but to answer vaguely, and asked, "How often is the monitoring on the bus covered? Can you still see the content from a week ago?"

Hearing this question, Jin Xu looked at Shang Yang, so Shang Yang knew about it, and Jin Xu also considered the possibility of Liu Weidong getting off the car just like him.

The manager said: "I can't say for sure. The situation of each car is different. Generally, the memory card of the surveillance video is stored for about a week."

"Ask the driver to call me when he comes back." Jin Xu shook hands with the manager and said, "Thank you for cooperating with us."

It's still a little bit serious when it's serious.Shang Yang thought to himself.

The three left the station.

Shang Yang said, "Isn't it more direct to send two police officers to the provincial capital?"

"It's a great idea, Director Shang is really smart." Jin Xu said.

Shang Yang laughed out of anger, and said, "Certainly, will you die if you don't have yin and yang?"

"You people who have been at the top for a long time, if you move your lips up and down, we will lose our legs underneath." Finally, Jin Xu said again, "What's the matter with making me feel weird? I don't dare to speak to other leaders. "

Shang Yang: "..." What you said is neither angry nor angry.

Jin Xu said: "It's not impossible to send people to the provincial capital, but to handle a case in a different place like this, you have to go to the city bureau first to issue an official letter, which takes a long time. If Liu Weidong got out of the car halfway and didn't go to the provincial capital at all, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Yuan Ding said, "Why don't we just ask the police in the provincial capital to help find someone?"

Shang Yang said: "Don't just talk up and down, your brother Jin accidentally broke his leg, are you responsible?"

Yuan Ding: "..."

Jin Xu was not angry, but was amused, and said: "Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. It often requires the cooperation of many departments. There is no formality. If something goes wrong, whoever is responsible."

It's past noon, almost two o'clock.

Jin Xu took two foreign guests to dinner, a small roadside shop, a beef noodle restaurant.

The store was fairly clean, Shang Yang didn't say anything, just found a seat and sat down casually.Jin Xu went to the window to order food.

Yuan Ding sat next to Shang Yang and whispered, "Shall we leave this afternoon? If we leave, we will have to go to the train station after dinner."

The original plan was to leave Baiyuan by train at [-]:[-] pm, stay overnight in the provincial capital, and fly back to Beijing tomorrow morning.

Shang Yang said, "I'll tell him later."

After Jin Xu ordered his meal, he called Zhang Zhiming after he sat down and told him about his situation at the long-distance station.

"Wait until the bus comes back," Jin Xu said into the phone, "Maybe we have to arrange for the two brothers to go to the provincial capital tomorrow."

He asked Zhang Zhiming about the progress there, and chatted for a few minutes, but the content of the chat seemed to be quite complicated.

After hanging up, Shang Yang asked him: "Deputy director Zhang is busy with other cases?"

Jin Xu shook his head and said: "He found Liu Weidong's creditor, a female owner of a flower shop. Liu Weidong lent her 7 yuan to start a small business, but actually used it for gambling. But according to this woman, she has also I haven't been able to contact Liu Weidong for about ten days."

"You don't suspect that the creditor is chasing the debt, and Liu Weidong..." Yuan Ding compared his neck, and said, "Is it?"

Jin Xu didn't deny it, but he didn't say anything. He said, "This female boss has simple social connections and a good family background. She doesn't need 7 yuan. The possibility of taking drastic measures to collect debts is not high."

He picked up the kettle and poured water to sterilize the tableware.

Yuan Ding felt strange and said, "Why would a female owner of a flower shop lend money to a gambler?"

But Shang Yang asked: "Is this female boss married? She doesn't pursue Liu Weidong's debts, and neither does her husband?"

Jin Xu said: "Divorced, my ex-husband went abroad several years ago."

He naturally put the scalded tableware in front of Shang Yang.

Shang Yang glanced at him, is this flattering?

Yuan Ding understood a little bit, but he didn't agree with the guess of the two senior brothers, and said: "You shouldn't talk about the relationship between men and women, right?"

Shang Yang said to him: "The matter of borrowing money is very delicate. Generally speaking, apart from relatives and boyfriends and girlfriends, if a man is willing to lend money to a woman, he should covet her for something, such as ...that thing. And when a woman is willing to lend money to a man, it's just the opposite. Nine out of ten female creditors are cheated by scumbags."

Yuan Ding looked carefully, and found that the man who borrowed money or was borrowed money was not a good guy, so he said, "Director, do you hate men?"

Shang Yang said: "Come, I hate myself?"

"What your director said is not absolutely correct, but it is also very reasonable." Jin Xu said, "In actual case handling, most of the money disputes between men and women are indeed what he said."

Yuan Ding said: "If according to what you say, male compatriots are guilty of original sin in borrowing money? Then what if a man lends money to a man? Are two people scumbags and cheating on each other?"

Jin Xu said: "It depends on the specific situation. Between a man and a man, the simple ones are very simple, and the complicated ones can be very complicated. Emotional entanglements between men and men cannot be completely ruled out."

"I understand this!" Yuan Dingda understood. Thinking of what happened two days ago, he said to Shang Yang, "Director, you said that if you borrow money from the male section chief of the Municipal Bureau..."

It refers to the "male sister-in-law" whom Shang Yang hit up during morning exercises in order to understand the local public security infrastructure.

Shang Yang threw a sharp eye, and Yuan Ding automatically shut up.

Jin Xu listened halfway, looked at Shang Yang, and frowned slightly with his thick eyebrows.

The waiter called to pick up the meal, Jin Xu was about to go, Yuan Ding quickly got up and rushed to go.

"The bus doesn't come back until after four o'clock," Shang Yang said, "I can't wait here for two hours. Do you have any other cases to work on? Go ahead."

Jin Xu said: "There are no other cases, I have assigned them to my subordinates. No matter what, I am still the director. I do everything by myself. I don't want to lose face?"

Shang Yang: "..."

He was full of greetings from Zaun, but he wanted to maintain his dignity and not spit out.

Jin Xu was very happy to see him like this, showing a triumphant expression, and said: "I will send you off first, go to the bureau? Meet our bureau chief? Or do you plan to go for a walk by yourself and take a look? Stay overnight where?"

Shang Yang was momentarily at a loss for words.

Previously, he concealed the fact that he and Yuan Ding had already come to Baiyuan, because he didn't want Jin Xu to know that he had secretly completed the investigation of the Songshan Police Station.

He originally thought that he would go to the police station to meet Jin Xu politely today and then leave. As for whether they stayed in Baiyuan to do research or left Baiyuan, there was no need to explain to Jin Xu at all.He thought that he and Jin Xu didn't need to tell each other's whereabouts.

Liu Weidong's accident disrupted his arrangements.

More importantly, Jin Xu was full of sincere joy and welcome for his sudden arrival, which surprised him and made his present farewell without warning very difficult to say. Once he said it, he This person appears to be both cold, hypocritical and unflattering.

He thought about how to speak without losing dignity.

Jin Xu looked at his side face, and turned his eyes away as if to cover up for a moment, looking at the sunny street outside the door, with a smile on his face.

Yuan Ding brought back the three people's beef noodles and side dishes.

"Little brother who worked hard, let's make do with this lunch," Jin Xu said to him, "When the evening is over, the senior brother will treat you to something good."

Yuan Ding said blankly, "Director Shang, haven't you told Senior Brother Jin yet?"

With the presence of a third person, Shang Yang decided to bite the bullet and said to Jin Xuzhi: "Our five o'clock train will leave Baiyuan today."

Jin Xu: "...so fast?"

Looking at his expression, Shang Yang knew that he immediately realized that he didn't just arrive this morning.

Jin Xu said: "I thought..."

Shang Yang felt the disappointment from his old classmates in an instant, and he felt a little uncomfortable. It felt like he was cheating Jin Xu's feelings. treat him.

"Then I'll take you to the train station." Jin Xu didn't finish what he thought, and smiled like self-deprecating, and said, "The schedule is pretty good. I'll take you there and I'll come back. That bus should be the same." arrive."

Shang Yang had no choice but to say: "When Liu Weidong finds it, give Aunt Wu an explanation, and then tell me again, and I won't worry about it anymore."

Jin Xu said: "Okay."

The atmosphere is a little cold.

Yuan Ding's gaze swiveled between the two senior brothers, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you two consider adding a WeChat friend?"

So Shang Yang opened the QR code and asked Jin Xu to scan it.

"That's right." Yuan Ding felt that he had done a good deed, and said, "It's okay if you had any unhappy things in the past. I think you two are in harmony now. If you have nothing to do, you should contact more in the future."

Shang Yang accepted Jin Xu's friend request, and bowed his head while eating noodles in silence.

Jin Xu clicked on Shang Yang’s profile picture on WeChat, it was an emoji, and a cat squinted impatiently: Are you done? I’m going to sleep.jpg

He looked at the slow-moving, gentleman-eating director Shang again, and couldn't help laughing, why does this avatar look more like the real one than the real person.

Yuan Ding said: "Brother Jin, go to Beijing when you have time, and call me when you are looking for Director Shang to play."

"Okay. I really want to go," Jin Xu said, "The bureau asked me to study, but I haven't set a specific time yet, probably at the end of the year."

White Plains Railway Station, the square in front of the station.

They had to swipe their ID cards when entering the station, and Jin Xu only sent them here.

Yuan Ding queued up in front of the ticket collection machine to collect the tickets, and had to reimburse them when he returned.

"See you at the end of the year." Shang Yang said, "When you get to Beijing, if you need help, just ask."

Jin Xu lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on a button on Shang Yang's black windbreaker, and he said, "I'm sure, I won't be polite to you."

Shang Yang thought about it all the way, and apologized to him before leaving: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to lie to you."

Jin Xu said: "It's okay, I understand, your job is easy to offend people."

Shang Yang thought for a while, and said: "The police station is busy with work, you have to pay attention to your health...you didn't say anything about your illness before."

"Small problem, it's gone." Jin Xu raised his eyes and said, "Pay attention to your hands. You too, how can you get tenosynovitis if you are so particular about a person?"

Shang Yang thought, is this caring about me or complaining about me?

Jin Xu said: "Are you talking about your partner? Why doesn't your partner take good care of you?"

Shang Yang said, "I'm single, I'm busy, I don't have time to talk."

Jin Xu nodded: "That's good."

Shang Yang: "?"

Jin Xu smiled and said, "Just let the girls go with your temper."

Shang Yang said speechlessly, "Oh, take care of yourself."

After saying goodbye to Jin Xu, he entered the station and waited for the ticket to be checked in the waiting hall.

This K-prefixed train stopped at Baiyuan, and it was delayed. It arrived at Baiyuan Station half an hour later than the scheduled time.

Yuan Ding played a mobile game, and Shang Yang flipped through his phone boredly. The voice messages from his mother had accumulated for several days. There were more than a dozen unheard little red dots, each within 50 seconds.

In the past few days, she is arranging a blind date for Shang Yang again, and everything is ready, just waiting for Shang Yang to go back.

Shang Yang turned 28 two years ago and has never been in a relationship.She was worried about her son, because he would probably not be able to find a girlfriend on his own.

So I began to ask relatives and friends uninterruptedly, and asked someone to help introduce my daughter-in-law to her.

She is also a public security officer. She still has contacts after retirement. She knows exactly what her son has been up to and how busy she is recently. She can always help Shang Yang arrange one or more blind date appointments during Shang Yang's rest period. .

This time she found three school-age girls, listed their age, education, work unit and hobbies, and sent them to Shang Yang respectively, which meant that she was very satisfied with the three, and let Shang Yang have a look at them.

Shang Yang's face was numb, he didn't want to go back at all, he wished to receive a call from his superior immediately and send him somewhere for a few months.

But presumably his mother has already inquired clearly, knowing that he has finished his work this round, and then he will at least say that he will rest for a week or two.

Finally, the station announcement sounded, and the train they were going to board was about to check tickets.

At this time, Jin Xu sent a WeChat message, a kind word of a safe journey.

Shang Yang asked: [What did the bus driver say? 】

Jin Xu: [It's hard to say, but this time I'm in trouble]

Yuan Ding said, "Director, it's time to go."

"Wait a minute." Shang Yang walked to the side, far away from the crowd queuing up for ticket inspection, called Jin Xu, and asked, "What's the situation? Liu Weidong really got off the bus halfway?"

"Yes, as soon as he left the city, he told the driver that he had left something behind and got out of the car. Moreover," Jin Xu said with a serious tone, "someone called the police an hour ago, and a male body was found in the suburbs." .”
