crushed

Seeing that all the team members looked disheartened and dejected, and Ji Rusong, the leader of the team, didn't say much, Huang Chao inevitably said in frustration, "I think we should just go back, maybe they have been in other places for a long time. The place is happy and happy, we are still looking around here, the leaders of this city don’t know what to think, let us solve the case in a month, how is it possible! Just go back and get the punishment..."

"Don't say such things!" Ji Rusong patted Huang Chao on the back of the head hard, almost bowing him ninety degrees, "The clues are all pointing here, and Xiao Yang has also taken care of the entire territory of City S and Province A." The expressway management and control pay attention to refitting the car, and there is no new news from them. The person must still be in the city of F in province A, but we can't find it for the time being. It's only been a few days, you are so tired No more? How did you survive the training at the police academy?"

"Isn't that different..." Huang Chao rubbed the back of his head and muttered, seeing that Ji Rusong was going to beat him, he ran away quickly, pretended to stand at attention and saluted, and said loudly as if shouting a slogan, " I know, I know, I will work hard to adapt to the master, and I will never disappoint the organization's training for me!"

"You must be poor." Everyone laughed at him mercilessly.

Huang Chao's episode unexpectedly broke the dead atmosphere of the past few days, and restored the original confidence in the subsequent tracing work.

There is another thing that gives Ji Rusong a headache as there is no clue there, and that is the TV reporter in the city.

The reporter did not know where he heard the news that Ji Rusong and his party were going to Province A to investigate the case, and even brought the photographer along with them!

The reporter pestered Ji Rusong, the captain, to spare half to an hour every day to provide him with news on the grounds that "the impact of the case in the city is too great and bad, and the public has the right to know any progress and details about the case." The latter sent Huang Chao to deal with him, but the reporter refused to interview Huang Chao on the grounds that "I'm not good enough, let your boss come", which made Huang Chao half dead.

Ji Rusong was already at his wits' end, and was so busy that he could spare time for eating and sleeping to investigate the case, but there was such a reporter who stuck to him like an asshole all day long, asking for clues and news, and getting information. After knowing that there was no progress, he kept criticizing the police for their ineffective handling of the case, desperately making sarcastic remarks, and nagging by his side every day.

Ji Rusong sometimes had to use a lot of strength to control his urge to yell at him, or simply pinch him unconscious, throw him into the trunk and throw him on a barren hill to finish it off.

Ji Rusong, a media worker with a high-spirited, nose-filled nose, has seen many times, especially the "relatives of the emperor" who are the leaders of the TV station, but this is the first time he has encountered such an impact on his work mood.

When he was extremely irritable, Ji Rusong couldn't help but think of Xie Chengyin, who also provided him with case materials, and also needed half to an hour of conversation time every day, why facing Xie Chengyin, Ji Rusong felt that he was very happy to make time for him, but The reporters in front of me are so annoying!

Facing Xie Chengyin, Ji Rusong seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Starting from the case, they could talk all the way to far away, such as national geography, meteorology, archaeology, etc. Any place that can be involved , the two always seemed to have something to talk about, and there was even a time when Ji Rusong chatted unknowingly and forgot the time, and in the end it was Xie Chengyin who reminded him that "the lunch break is over, it's time to do something".

Getting along with Xie Chengyin made Ji Rusong feel relaxed and happy, so a short lunch break was always not enough, and it made Ji Rusong feel that the conversation was more than enough, but the same matter of providing material was placed on the reporter, comparing the two , Ji Rusong was uncomfortable and unaccustomed to everything.

Of course, this has something to do with the reporter's arrogant character and speaking habits that are annoying, but Ji Rusong thinks the main reason is that Xie Chengyin is very likable. From the members of his own team to the aunt in the cafeteria, Xie Chengyin has a good reputation. He is enthusiastic and cares about his colleagues. No matter who he is with, he is willing to get along with him. Ji Rusong always feels that Xie Chengyin has a kind Even with other colleagues, Ji Rusong doesn't think he can have as many common topics as Xie Chengyin.

Although Ji Rusong himself felt that it was meaningless to put these two completely different people together, after the routine report to the sub-bureau chief, he couldn't help but pick up Xie Chengyin's inside line by the way, and complained to him about the matter.

"I can't help it, journalists, who grasp the direction of people's thinking, if you don't follow him, who knows when I will write you a mess." After listening to Ji Rusong's description, Xie Chengyin expressed sympathy for the other party's experience. I am still very grateful to this reporter from the bottom of my heart. Without the reporter's follow-up report, he would not be able to see Ji Rusong on TV every day, and he would not be able to know whether the other party is safe in the first place, so although Ji Rusong would be more tired , Xie Chengyin still hoped that the reporter could continue the interview, so he comforted, "You should be serving our chief, and only let you serve for such a short time, it's too simple, too simple."

"What kind of service..." Ji Rusong laughed. If he was in normal times, he would definitely rub Xie Chengyin's head, but he could only smile bitterly over the phone, "Serving reporters is really not an easy job. It's better to serve you."

"Ha...?" Xie Chengyin was so flustered by this sentence that he couldn't utter a word. Although he knew that Ji Rusong was using his own words to tease him, Xie Chengyin's face still turned red.

"To be honest, I really miss the time when I talked to you about the case every day and then listened to your opinions. I have developed a habit. I don't talk to you for a few days. I really feel that something is missing. Same."

Ji Rusong's simple words stirred up countless waves in Xie Chengyin's heart. Although he rationally knew that if he continued to develop like this, he would definitely develop in a deformed direction, but Xie Chengyin couldn't control his emotions, and the other party said these without any scruples. The ambiguous words that are easily misunderstood made him inevitably have some unrealistic fantasies.

In the past, when Ji Rusong was still regarded as Zhu Mo or a pure source of material, it was not uncommon to not see Ji Rusong for two or three days on weekends. Under such circumstances, every day becomes difficult, such a phone call is even more precious to Xie Chengyin, but Ji Rusong has limited time, and after dropping a bunch of bombs in Xie Chengyin's heart, he hung up the phone in a hurry , go back to work again.

13. Breakthrough in Section 13...

The following days are still the same as the previous few days, the news about the progress of the case will be broadcast on the TV news for a few minutes every day, and Xie Chengyin will also squat in front of the TV during the daily news time, caring about Ji Rusong's current situation.

Under the leadership of Song Mowen and the publishing house, the signing of the sale was carried out in full swing, and the time was finally decided on the next Saturday from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] pm.

Ji Rusong's case did not move forward at all. Originally, Xie Chengyin thought that this should be something to be thankful for, but as time passed day by day, Xie Chengyin couldn't be happier.

Seven days have passed since the case happened, and Ji Rusong's investigation has reached a stalemate. Within seven days, no clues have surfaced again, and the three people hiding in the dark have no news. Seeing that the one-month deadline has passed for nearly four minutes One, the case itself has not progressed for a long time. Thinking of the possibility that Xiao Dahai and others may flee to other places when they have been exhausted after searching for a long time, Ji Rusong has no choice but to consider trying a larger search area, but also Don't give up the monitoring of the three people's hometown, especially Xiao Dahai's family.

However, he brought only eight people. Just when Ji Rusong was hesitating whether it is necessary to request a large number of people from the local police station or his own sub-bureau to meet the demand for a large number of mountain searches in a short period of time, he unexpectedly received a very useful person. phone!

According to the phone call, Xiao Dahai’s childhood playmates provided important clues to the police after seeing the TV news——Xiao Dahai’s childhood favorite was to take a group of boys to a local mountain named X Mountain for adventure!And he himself is very familiar with the terrain on the mountain!

Ji Rusong immediately took the news to test the reaction of the two elders of the Xiao family. From their twinkling eyes and excuses, the news was further confirmed!

Everyone in the investigation team almost cheered!Without further ado!Ji Rusong immediately submitted a request for assistance in the investigation to City F in Province A, hoping that the police station would prepare a number of police officers to investigate Mount X. One of them must be someone who is familiar with Mount X to lead the way. If there is no such person, you can use locals instead.

As soon as the letter of request came out, they immediately got the full cooperation of the local police. The next morning, they dispatched five police officers to supplement Ji Rusong's manpower, and found a local young man who was familiar with the terrain on the mountain to be their guide. The total number of Ji Rusong's team suddenly increased from eight to 14!

The team members removed the three police officers who were always watching the three families in case they tipped off the three of them, leaving eleven people including the villagers and Ji Rusong in the team.
