crushed

Pull yourself together and fight for your lover and your own dignity.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Rusong has long regarded this "evil battle" in his heart as a "life and death" battle with Wei Xinlin.

"Won't you shake my hand and wish me luck?" Wei Xinlin put on his coat and stretched out his right hand to Ji Rusong.

After talking with Wei Xinlin for three hours, Ji Rusong did not have the strong hostility towards him like at first. Although Wei Xinlin targeted Xiao Xie, his motives were not pure at first, but after the conversation, Ji Rusong felt that the other party was different from him. The similarities at the beginning, and exchanging experience with Wei Xinlin in handling cases, is also a very pleasant thing for him. This kind of relationship between enemies and friends is very similar to Zhu Mo and Xu Zhijing in the book.

It can be said that if the incident of Xiao Xie hadn't happened, Ji Rusong felt that he and Wei Xinlin could become good friends, and he believed that the other party was the same.

He put on his coat, stretched out his hand to hold Wei Xinlin's right hand, and said with a smile, "It's fine to shake hands, but I won't say congratulations."

"I won't lose." Wei Xinlin clenched his fingers, declared to Ji Rusong, let go first and turned to leave.

11:51

Ji Rusong drove back to the restaurant where they had dinner. He originally planned to use this place as the starting point of the investigation to gather information, and then radiate around, but what surprised him was that the restaurant was closed at this time. All the security guards at the entrance were off duty, only the creative neon lights at the entrance of the hotel were still in operation, and the nearby small restaurants and clothing stores were also closed.

Without the first eyewitness who witnessed Li Minqi's "hijacking" Xie Chengyin to leave the scene, Ji Rusong and Wei Xinlin's search time would definitely be extended. This must be one of Li Minqi's plans. Although Ji Rusong felt a little unhappy, he had no choice but to start from nearby.

The most beneficial witnesses for gathering information are undoubtedly the security guards and traffic police on duty who have been on the side of the road. Li Minqi came in a jeep, not a police car. Seeing that there are two branches on the left and right in front of Ji Rusong for him to choose from, he chose the right hand side of the original hotel, which is also a direction where there are more shops open by monks in a residential area. He went into the open shop, walked more than 500 meters, and questioned about a dozen possible witnesses, but found nothing. Ji Rusong realized that he might have guessed the wrong side.

Ji Rusong hurriedly turned his head and rushed to the left side of the hotel.

0:18 AM

Ji Rusong came to the left side of the restaurant where he had dinner with Li Minqi. He walked along the road for about 200 meters before finding a restaurant that was not closed. Not far away, Ji Rusong was particularly pleasantly surprised by this situation, which indicated that the possibility of witnessing Li Minqi was relatively high.

What surprised him was that he saw Wei Xinlin in the store, who was sitting on an empty chair in the store, holding a suspicious-looking note, thinking about something very seriously.

Seeing Ji Rusong enter the store, he subconsciously tightened the paper in his hand, and smiled at Ji Rusong: "Good evening, Officer Ji, I'm one step ahead of you."

This kind of reaction makes people feel that there is a problem. From Wei Xinlin, Ji Rusong didn't think he could get anything, and he wouldn't ask. He immediately went to the receptionist to ask about the situation. From her, Ji Rusong also got A piece of paper exactly the same as Wei Xinlin's, with nothing else on it, only a crooked poem in fourteen characters: "The purple picks up the dragon brushes past, and the red and sapphire falls on the jade plate".

After confirming with the waiter again, the waiter said that it was indeed a very tall man who asked her to hand it over to two policemen respectively. As long as the policeman showed his identity, she was asked to take it out. As for what it was for, she Nothing, and the tall man didn't say a word.

What does it mean……?Ji Rusong was temporarily at a loss.

He vaguely remembered that when he was studying, he had learned an ancient poem, which vaguely contained such content, but Ji Rusong had handed it back to the teacher a long time ago about what the ancient poem was about and what the name of the poem was.

This crooked poem obviously refers to a place, but he couldn't figure out where this place is for a while, and Wei Xinlin is still sitting here without taking any action, so he must not have drawn any useful conclusions.

Ji Rusong couldn't find any useful information related to the crooked poem on the note from the waiter, so he turned to her to inquire about the opponent's situation. He pointed to Wei Xinlin who was thinking seriously with one hand resting on his chin, and asked, "Is that policeman here?" How long? I mean how much older than me?"

The young girl glanced at the handsome Wei Xinlin, and replied shyly, "It's about 3 minutes earlier than you. Are you investigating the case? Why don't you discuss it together?"

"We are in a competition." Ji Rusong answered the waiter's question in a friendly manner. While thinking about the source of Li Minqi's crooked poem and the secret of its hidden location, he continued to search for information that might be useful, "These two cards in our hand Have you read all the paper? Is there any difference in what is written?"

"There's no difference, they're all the same." The girl said, and then she covered her mouth in shock, and hurriedly waved her hand, "I, I didn't mean to read the police's secrets! It's just... just Just curious..."

"It's nothing, and it's not a secret." Ji Rusong reassured.

At this time, Wei Xinlin, who had been sitting in an empty seat beside him thinking, stood up abruptly, waved to Ji Rusong, with a satisfied expression on his face: "Officer Ji, I'll take a step first."

Ji Rusong was startled, he didn't have a clue at the moment, did the other party come to a conclusion after only thinking for a few minutes?When watching Wei Xinlin leave gracefully, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Does Wei Xinlin already know where the next location is?Will he get new clues smoothly and find Xiao Xie earlier than himself?Ji Rusong was agitated for a while, pinched the note, and didn't think about the crooked poem anymore, all of a sudden Wei Xinlin's first step was on his mind.

After tangling his thoughts for a while, Ji Rusong suddenly thought that this was also very likely Wei Xinlin's bluff in order to disturb his thinking!He realized that he couldn't fall into a passive state like this and limit his thinking to anxiety. What he should do now was to analyze that sentence!

0:32 AM

Nearly an hour had passed since the game started, Ji Rusong walked out of the store, stopped a taxi on the road, and went straight to a small road called Ruby Road.

No wonder Wei Xinlin suddenly figured it out. Not long after Ji Rusong left, he saw a large urban traffic map in the store, which was posted in a corner of the store. The main purpose of the map was to identify The location of the store in each branch in the city, but other than these, it is no different from a normal map.

Ji Rusong saw Metro Line [-] marked in lavender on the map at a glance, and the so-called "Purple Picking Dragon" keyword in the crooked poem was immediately unraveled, and the location suggested by Li Minqi must be located along Line [-] , Ji Rusong searched along the sign of Line [-] according to this idea, and sure enough, he found two small roads named Sapphire and Ruby in a certain corner to the west!

The reason why Li Minqi chose this store was not only because it was open all night, but also because of the map that could provide tips.

The car always drives very fast at night. It might take four or ten minutes to drive during the day, but now it only takes two and ten minutes, and Ji Rusong arrives at the destination.

When he arrived at Ruby Road, he chose a relatively high-end neighborhood and went in to inquire about the situation.

On the other side, contrary to the two police officers' eagerness to search for clues, Li Minqi and Xie Chengyin had already finished their showers and were sitting leisurely at their desks playing chess.

Li Minqi yawned several times in a row, put the chess pieces in his hand to the side of the chessboard, and said to Xie Chengyin: "No, I'm going to sleep for a while, it's too boring to wait like this."

Xie Chengyin raised one leg in front of his best friend: "Don't sleep."

"They're probably still solving my puzzles right now, it's early, it's okay to sleep for a while."

Xie Chengyin thought that was not necessarily the case. Although he was not familiar with Wei Xinlin, his buddies obviously underestimated Ji Rusong's efficiency in handling affairs. Who knows who among them will appear here.

Seeing that Li Minqi was about to walk to the bed, he insisted on holding him back: "Don't sleep, I asked someone else to solve a difficult problem. How could the reason why the person who made the problem covered his head and fell asleep before others finished solving it? Well, we also stay up late, don’t we, and when we’re about to lose, we find excuses not to play, Li Minqi, when will your stinky chess and shameless kung fu improve a bit?”

"Okay, okay, my uncle, I will accompany you." Li Minqi sat back to his original position and played a move.

"Will."

1:40 AM

Ji Rusong has inquired almost all the neighborhoods near Ruby Road, Sapphire Road and Line [-], and met Wei Xinlin three times who was also looking for clues nearby. Judging from the anxious eyes of the other party, Wei Xinlin did not find anything either. .

The location must be in this area, but where will the next clue appear?

In such a large area, there are several residential areas and public green spaces. Ji Rusong ran through most of them but failed to find any useful clues.
