Where did Jin Jiaxuan go?

In the afternoon, Jin Xu and the other three decided to go to some acquaintances and friends of Liu Weidong's daily life to see if there were any clues that had been missed before. The first thing to do now is to find him himself.

Jin Xu didn't come home until four o'clock in the morning, and only slept on the sofa for more than three hours. He went to the criminal investigation team early in the morning, and then came to Sun Lina to understand the situation. Red blood.

"I'll drive," Yuan Ding offered, "Brother, tell me where to go, and I'll follow the navigation on my phone."

Jin Xu was also polite, gave him the driving seat, and went to the back row by himself. When Yuan Ding drove the navigation on the road, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, took the time to rest, and fell asleep with his head down in minutes, and issued a Slight snoring.

Yuan Ding whispered: "He has been working overtime for a few days?"

Shang Yang said: "The police station is like this, you can rest if you want, until you retire, or until you get sick."

"We still have to persuade him to pay attention to his health, otherwise, if he accidentally relapses, it's no joke." Yuan Ding briefly mentioned to Shang Yang what Zhang Zhiming had revealed to him.

"No wonder he has changed so much now." Shang Yang guessed that it was not a mild illness when he heard that he was taking hormone medicine, but he was not too surprised, and said, "Maybe he has a new understanding of life after a serious illness. "

In fact, he thinks that Jin Xu is not bad now, at least he is positive and cheerful, which is much better than the gloomy appearance before.

Yuan Ding also wanted to ask if something happened when the two senior brothers reunited two years ago.

But Shang Yang was still thinking about the case, and before he continued to gossip, he said, "I don't know if I think too much. Is Sun Lina too in love?"

Yuan Ding said: "How to say?"

Shang Yang said: "She and her ex-husband divorced, and it has been more than two years. According to her conditions, there should be many men chasing her. There should be some men who want her beauty or money, or those who really like her. How could she have fallen for Liu Weidong's tricks?"

Yuan Ding thought about it and said, "Isn't Liu Weidong very good at acting? She is a single mother, and she is eager to find a reliable man and have a new family. Liu Weidong grasped her mentality, did what she liked, asked her what she liked, and she was fooled. strange."

"You are talking about most ordinary people, Sun Lina is obviously not," Shang Yang said, "She is a very attractive woman who knows how to exude charm. Such a person has had successive admirers to show her since she was a child. Well, her attitude towards suitors will not be easily tempted like ordinary girls. People will feel joy and satisfaction when they are pursued. People who are ordinary in appearance and are rarely pursued can easily take this kind of Joy and satisfaction are misunderstood as liking, but for a beautiful person with many suitors, it is just as common as eating and drinking. And it is she who proposed to Liu Weidong on her own initiative? I am afraid that Liu Weidong will go back on his word, I really can't understand. "

Yuan Ding glanced at him with a lemony look, and said, "I can't understand what you said."

Shang Yang looked at him suspiciously, but couldn't understand what he couldn't understand.

"Ordinary people like me and junior, of course we can't understand you beautiful people." Jin Xu in the back row woke up at some point, and suddenly interrupted.

Shang Yang looked at him coldly from the rearview mirror, and had a premonition that he wasn't trying to say anything nice.

Jin Xu said: "All of you are surrounded by licking dogs, and we don't have them. We ordinary people are indeed easily tempted. What's the problem?"

Yuan Ding: "..." Forget it, Brother Jin, how are you ordinary?It's just me inside.

Shang Yang didn't take Jin Xu's ridicule seriously, and said, "Is it possible not to be poor? I really can't figure it out. Sun Lina is definitely not the type who will be moved by dog ​​licking, but I don't look like she is lying when I observe her."

"I don't think she's lying either," Jin Xu said, "She doesn't like to lick dogs, but she's a pretty dog ​​herself."

Shang Yang: "?"

Yuan Ding called the expert directly: "Indeed! The young lady only looks at you two throughout the whole process. Deputy Director Zhang and I are like two transparent people."

Jin Xu snorted and said, "That's not true, she was mainly fascinated by your Director Shang's flourishing beauty."

Yuan Ding said: "You Qi sent the two of you out at the end. When Miss Sister looked at Director Shang, there were stars in her eyes! Stars! Stars!"

Shang Yang: "...are you two annoying? Can you say something serious?"

Jin Xu said solemnly: "Here comes the serious talk. Liu Weidong is a liar, addicted to gambling, has no job and no money, but he has a good face."

"Is he handsome? From the photos, he looks like that." Yuan Ding said.

"It depends on who you use as a reference. You hang around with Director Shang every day, and you look at other people, of course it's the same." Jin Xu said, "Objectively speaking, Liu Weidong can be regarded as a handsome beauty among ordinary people. man."

Shang Yang and Yuan Ding have seen Liu Weidong's photos, and also seen his general figure in the surveillance video: a man, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, with a straight and clean face, he is indeed worthy Described as a handsome guy.

In addition to acting well, Sun Lina will fall in love with him, maybe she was really confused by his appearance first.

"Okay, I understand." Shang Yang said so.

To understand is to understand, but it is not very understandable.

In Sun Lina's situation, is it worth paying such a terrible price for a face?

In his view of choosing a mate, appearance is relatively unimportant.

Jin Xu was still full of sleepiness, and opened the rear window a little, wanting to blow in the cold wind to wake up quickly. When the window was opened, the wind rolled up with a whistling sound, and his short hair was immediately messed up.

When most people are not awake, they are blown so hard by the wind that it is difficult to look good.

Jin Xu didn't know that, his appearance and temperament matched the strong wind in the northwest, and there was a bit of rough beauty in the whistling wind.

Shang Yang looked in the rearview mirror, and suddenly thought in his heart, if he looks like this, then Sun Lina was deceived, and he probably understands it better.

Jin Xu noticed something and looked forward, and the two met their gazes in the rearview mirror.

"You are also a handsome man." Shang Yang immediately praised without hesitation.

Jin Xu: "..."

Yuan Ding: "...Director, please speak seriously."

Shang Yang realized that it was inappropriate to praise the appearance of the same sex, and added: "It is part of my job to occasionally praise grassroots police officers."

Jin Xu closed the car window.Yuan Ding didn't speak either.

The atmosphere made Shang Yang feel inexplicable, as if the two of them had mastered something that he hadn't mastered yet.

Jin Xu quickly changed the subject and said, "Actually, I'm even more surprised by Liu Weidong's last apology call to Sun Lina."

If it is said that in order to continue to deceive Sun Lina, Liu Weidong packed his bags and planned to leave Baiyuan, this logic is not reasonable.

But what if he sincerely apologized to Sun Lina?In terms of this person's behavior and character, it seems that he will not feel sincere regret.

"Is it possible that he didn't know that Jia Pengfei blackmailed this little sister," Yuan Ding guessed, "Jia Pengfei did all these things without telling him, and he turned his back on Jia Pengfei after he knew it. After all, he only got 7 yuan. Yuan, but Jia Pengfei took 15 yuan. The two had an internal quarrel, and then Liu Weidong killed Jia Pengfei?"

Jia Pengfei used video to blackmail Sun Lina several times. During this process, Liu Weidong never showed his face. Whether he knew it or not, or whether Jia Pengfei did it at his behest is still unknown.

Shang Yang said: "Sun Lina was secretly filmed at Liu Weidong's home, and it should have been taken by Liu Weidong himself. How did Jia Pengfei get such a private video?"

Jin Xu said: "If they have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship, it would be reasonable for Liu Weidong to share this kind of video with him as a way to show off."

Shang Yang asked puzzledly: "You have been speculating in the direction that they have known each other for a long time, what is the reason for you to think so?"

"It's hard to say, let's intuit it." Jin Xu said, "I know Liu Weidong a little bit. It's unlikely that he will find someone he doesn't know well to set up a trick to deceive Sun Lina, and finally share the benefits with the other party. He and Jia Pengfei should be involved in certain matters, but we still don't know what it is."

The policemen from the Songshan Police Station had already inquired about Liu Weidong's whereabouts from the people around him. Jin Xu and the other three visited again today, and the results they got were not too different.

His neighbors said that he was not familiar with him, and everyone always kept a respectful distance from such idlers and gamblers.

The people he usually comes into contact with are the regulars in a chess and card room near his home.

Slot machines and fruit machines are too expensive to play every day. When gambling with bare hands, I still rely on rubbing mahjong and playing poker to pass the time.

The people at the poker table were all braggarts, and they knew each other didn't have a lot of truth in their mouths, so it was not easy to find a "friend" who was really familiar with Liu Weidong.

For example, he cheated on Sun Lina, a rich divorced woman, for half a year. His poker friends only vaguely knew that a woman in a flower shop lent him tens of thousands of dollars, and he used them all to play. , was in vain.

"The last time the police came to ask about it, we've told everything we know. He said he owed others tens of thousands, but he still couldn't pay it back. He wanted to find ways to make some money outside, but he hadn't been here for ten days. 13 last time.” The person in charge of the chess and card room was asked once, knowing what the police would ask, before Jin Xu could speak, he double-counted it himself, and at the end he did not forget to add, “Our chess and card room is a serious chess and card room. Room, playing cards is just for entertainment, not for money."

It's impossible not to play with money, but if you don't gamble, you can just turn a blind eye and close one eye. This kind of thing itself cannot be completely eliminated.

Jin Xu asked the person in charge and some of Liu Weidong's poker friends: "Did Liu Weidong mention Jia Pengfei?"

Everyone said no.

But when Jin Xu showed them Jia Pengfei's photo, a middle-aged elder sister said, "Does he have a dragon tattoo on his arm? I saw him once downstairs. He came to give money to Liu Weidong. I saw Liu Weidong." I counted the money and put it in my pocket, it was several thousand dollars."

Jia Pengfei does have flower arm tattoos, and the temperature of being able to expose his arms to the outside must not have happened recently.

Jin Xu asked, "What time is it?"

The eldest sister thought for a while, and she really said: "It's July, I don't remember the date, anyway, my grandson hasn't had the summer vacation yet, so I can't come to play cards when he is on vacation."

On July 7, primary and secondary schools had their summer vacation, and it has been nearly four months since then.

As soon as he came out of the chess and card room, Yuan Ding said convincingly: "Brother Jin's intuition is too accurate. These two people really knew each other a long time ago, and they have long been involved in financial disputes."

Shang Yang also had to admire Jin Xu's intuitive prediction, saying, "You're pretty accurate."

"It's just luck." Jin Xu said casually, and added, "When and how they met, and what other conflicts they had, these are still unknown."

Shang Yang said: "Liu Weidong has already boarded the long-distance bus to the provincial capital, and was called off by Jia Pengfei on the way, and the two of them got together again. It can't be that Jia Pengfei is playing three cards and one is missing, so we need to find a match, right? What is the reason?"

Yuan Ding said: "Could it be that you want to give him some money?"

Jin Xu said: "Can't I transfer money by mobile phone? Is it so troublesome to get out of the car halfway?"

"According to what you said, it's a bit strange that the elder sister saw Jia Pengfei to send money to Liu Weidong just now. It's only a few thousand yuan. Why don't you transfer money by mobile phone? You can scan the QR code for all expenses in the chess and card room." Shang Yang said.

"That's right, Jia Pengfei may just like to use cash, and he's not used to transferring money by mobile phone, so it's fine." Yuan Ding echoed.

Shang Yang and Jin Xu looked at each other, and they both thought of something.

Jin Xu said: "When Jia Pengfei's wife met Sun Lina in the chess and card room in the town, she also said to send money to Jia Pengfei. Jia Pengfei really likes to use cash."

Shang Yang said: "It means that his usual income is mostly in the form of cash."

Yuan Ding asked in confusion, "What's the problem? Didn't he always come to the city to do odd jobs? It's very common for the boss to pay wages in cash."

"Let's ask the criminal investigation side first," Shang Yang said to Jin Xu, "Jia Pengfei's so-called odd jobs, what exactly is he doing?"

Jin Xu went to the side to make a phone call.

Yuan Ding pondered for a while, and understood a little bit, and said, "Director, do you suspect that Jia Pengfei is doing some illegal activities?"

Shang Yang said: "It is possible..."

Jin Xu made this phone call very quickly, and immediately finished his speech. He came over and said, "I'm still visiting the villagers over there, and they said they found a lot of clues. I can't explain it for a while, and we can discuss it in detail when we meet at night."

"If Jia Pengfei hadn't been a laborer, what would he do in the city?" Yuan Ding said, "Stealing things? Then he can really be a partner with Liu Weidong, who has a criminal record for theft."

Shang Yang suggested: "It's not far from Liu Weidong's house, let's go and have a look at his house?"

Liu Weidong lives in the family courtyard of the gas company. It is a collective house built in the early years. There is no elevator and the house is not big.

But this can make Sun Lina believe more in his identity as a quality inspector of the gas company.

It was almost dusk, the sky was cold and the sun was short, and just after five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already getting dark.

In addition, the lighting in Liu Weidong's house was average, making the interior even darker.

There is a smell of burning something, mixed with the musty smell of an old house that has not been lived in for a few days.

"Is it the aging of the circuit, the smell of the plastic skin?" Yuan Ding asked.

"It's not like, it looks like paper products have been burned." Jin Xu said.

"Look here." Shang Yang said at the balcony door.

There was an old enamel basin on the balcony, and there were burnt ashes in it. It was indeed a paper object. Looking at the traces of the ashes, it looked like yellow paper for sacrificial offerings and paper money.

There is a glass cup next to it, with half a cup of rice in it, and a stick of incense that has been burned to the root is inserted.

Yuan Ding asked in amazement: "Why is he burning paper money at home? It's not Qingming... Could it be his father's death day?"

Jin Xu said, "No, it was spring when his father died."

Shang Yang gave him a strange look and said, "You really know Liu Weidong very well."

Jin Xu squatted down on his knees, looked at the burnt sacrificial objects, and said, "Who did he burn this for?"

"Jia Pengfei?" Yuan Ding said, "Could it be that he went home secretly after Jia Pengfei's death? He burned some paper money for Jia Pengfei."

Jin Xu laughed and said, "You took the risk and went home, just to burn paper money for another bastard on your balcony?"

Yuan Ding thought so too, the possibility was too low, assuming Liu Weidong really wanted to burn paper money for Jia Pengfei, where could he not burn it?Why bother to go back to your own home and do this kind of thing.

"After burning the paper money, the brazier is still here and has not been cleaned up," Shang Yang guessed, "It means that he paid homage to someone before leaving home, and he took his luggage and went out on a long-distance journey before the incense burnt out." bus station."

Jin Xu said: "Among his relatives and friends, none of them should have died recently."

Just when the neighbor next door came back from get off work, Jin Xu went out to ask the neighbor to see if he had any clues to provide.

Shang Yang and Yuan Ding took a closer look at Liu Weidong's home inside and out.

Jin Xu came back after asking, "The neighbor said that he smelled burning things several times a while ago, and one day he got up in the middle of the night and smelled it once."

Yuan Ding asked strangely, "Who is Liu Weidong paying homage to?"

"His luggage is quite clean," Shang Yang said. "Except for home appliances and furniture, there is nothing valuable in the house, not even a decent piece of clothing left. The electric switch and gas are also turned off. He seems to be planning to go out. A very long time."

Yuan Ding said: "Then it's even more strange that he got off the bus halfway."

Jin Xu said: "Any other discoveries?"

"Yes." Shang Yang said, looking at Jin Xu with subtle eyes, and said, "There is a wedding photo in the bedroom, and his ex-wife is very beautiful."

Jin Xu said with a half-smile, "It's just the relationship between the police and the people. It's none of my business whether you're pretty or not? Or do you want to pursue someone, and I'll introduce you?"

Shang Yang secretly felt that Jin Xu had something to say, so he diverted his thinking towards Liu Weidong's ex-wife. When Jin Xu denied it, he wondered if he was thinking too much.

If Jin Xu really had something with Liu Weidong's ex-wife, based on his knowledge of Jin Xu, Jin Xu would not deny it, and would definitely admit it openly.

Many years ago, Jin Xu was still called Jin Xiaoxu, and he was a gloomy and introverted boy who didn't like Shang Yang, but Shang Yang already knew clearly at that time that Jin Xiaoxu, who slept on his upper bunk, was a very reliable person who would keep his word and act. It must be fruitful.

"It's getting dark, let's get off work." Shang Yang said, "Are you going back to the office? Or go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade?"

Jin Xu said: "I'll send you back, I'll go find my master again, and I'm going to have a meeting tonight."

But Shang Yang said: "Let's stay together then, will we violate the rules if we observe?"

Jin Xu said with a smile: "Leader, don't joke, it is our honor to have you here to guide the work."

Shang Yang knew that he was really joking with his sudden yin and yang aura, so he kept a straight face and didn't give him a good look.

Back at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, there was almost no one in the team. A major fatal case occurred in a small city, and the entire public security system in the city was on the verge of a formidable enemy. Everyone who could be sent out was sent out, busy looking for clues, looking for insiders, and Look around for traces of Liu Weidong.

Jin Xu took out three bowls of instant noodles for dinner for the three of them.

Yuan Ding smiled bitterly: "Brother, yesterday you said that you would treat me to a good meal, and I have to leave tomorrow. This is really two days of noodles."

As soon as he said this, Shang Yang realized that it had only been more than 30 hours since they met Jin Xu. It was just because things kept going on and on, and it felt like several days had passed.

"Junior brother, you are lucky to catch up with such a good time." Jin Xu said, "Next time."

Shang Yang asked: "What happened after eating the instant noodles? Where is Captain Li Jie?"

Jin Xu said: "He led the team in the village of Jia Pengfei's family, and he went to find him as soon as possible. Are you still going? It's not exactly what time you come back, and you probably won't be able to sleep again today."

Shang Yang said: "Go. I didn't stay in Baiyuan to sleep."

Ten minutes later, on the way to Jia Pengfei's house.

Yuan Ding took the initiative to rush to drive, and asked the two senior brothers to take a short rest in the back row.

He is going back tomorrow, and the colleagues on Bai Yuan's side are still fighting fiercely. I don't know how long it will take to close the case.

It is nearly [-] kilometers from the urban area to Jia Pengfei's home.

Driving out of the city to the suburbs, the night road was dark and the road was flat, Shang Yang, who said he was neither sleepy nor sleepy, soon fell asleep.

Jin Xu, who was sitting next to him, was still sleeping with his eyes closed in the afternoon, and he was full of energy at this moment, sitting there upright, not sleeping, not playing with his mobile phone, and not intending to talk to Yuan Ding.

Yuan Ding peeked quietly from the rearview mirror, and found that Senior Brother Jin would look at the sleeping Director Shang from time to time, his expression and hands and feet were restrained like a primary school student.

The police car turned a corner, Yuan Ding first paid attention to the road conditions in order to drive safely, and then secretly glanced at the back row.

The centrifugal force during the turn made Shang Yang lean on Jin Xu's shoulder, still falling asleep and not waking up.

And Jin Xu seemed to have been tapped, sitting there with his hands clasped on his lap, his whole body was dead, like a Buddha statue in meditation, neither sad nor happy, without desire or desire.
