third missing person

Wrapped in his little padded jacket, Chen Xing bounced out of the stairs and was almost blown back by the cold outdoor wind. He got stuck at the door and gasped for air: "Hey, the wind is so strong, I'm afraid it's going to cool down tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Nan Yanyao followed behind, took off the scarf and handed it over, saying, "You block first?"

He stared at the scarf without moving: "Did you just laugh at me?"

"No, no," Nan Yanyao said while holding the scarf in his hand, his smile enlarged a little, and he raised his hand to put the scarf around Chen Sheng's neck.

With the warm scarf of the other party wrapped around his neck, like a hug, the breath belonging to the other party rushed towards his face, and there seemed to be some familiar smell mixed in this breath.

Chen Xing lowered his head and sniffed carefully, and frowned slightly: "Thank you Teacher Nan, but...do you smoke?"

The scarf was clean and faint, with the smell of cigarettes, Chen Xing was all too familiar with that smell.

"I don't smoke." Nan Yanyao replied with a smile. Seeing the scarf around Chen Sheng's neck, he understood and explained: "Probably the scarf is hanging in the office, and a teacher smoked in the office to get it on."

The smell from the office... Chen Sheng felt something was wrong when he touched the scarf, what was wrong?

It was cold and windy outside the car, and the air conditioner in the car was fully turned on. Chen Xing took Nan Yanyao slowly out of the community. The place where Zhang Zixuan lived was not considered poor. Bright signboard and window.

He deliberately looked at the surrounding store surveillance and roadside cameras, and the number was not small, so how did Zhang Zixuan manage to avoid these and go to the nightclub.

Moreover, even if Zhang Zixuan was going to the nightclub, why did he have to bypass the monitoring?

Holding the steering wheel in his hands, he glanced at Nan Yanyao who was sitting next to him, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mr. Nan has worked hard today, so I need to trouble you to come here so late."

"Should be."

"When I was a teacher, I never thought that such a day would come."

He chuckled in a low voice and shook his head, "It's true that I never thought about it. These kids don't know why they are so obsessed with nightclubs."

"Nightclubs are good." Chen Xing joyfully thought that if he didn't go to nightclubs, how could he meet you.

"What's the matter, the music is so loud, the wine is not good, and it smells like cigarettes..."

Smoke smell.

Chen Xing held the steering wheel and frowned. It was true that he didn't smell smoke from Zhang Zixuan. Logically, after staying in the nightclub for so long, it is impossible for him to not have these smells.

So Zhang Zixuan didn't actually go to the nightclub at all.

"Mr. Nan, how much do you know about Zhang Zixuan?"

"Zhang Zixuan..." Nan Yanyao thought about the name for a while and said, "Zhang Zixuan is a sports student, and it is estimated that the college entrance examination will also focus on sports in the future, so he will participate in special training at school every morning and evening, oh yes, the recent sports meeting , His training seems to have increased. His cultural achievements seem to be quite satisfactory, and the others... are nothing, and the teachers don't mention him much."

"teachers?"

"The teachers in the office talk about nothing more than students, who performed well in class today, who was mischievous today, who got full marks in the test, and who made mistakes in such questions, but the name Zhang Zixuan appeared very rarely, and there was no such thing as feel."

"But isn't Zhang Zixuan a sports student? Participating in competitions to win glory for the school or something? Or his sports performance is actually mediocre."

"His sports performance is quite good. Zhang Zixuan is a long-distance runner. It is said that he almost entered the provincial team. Because his mother thought that running had no future, he was not allowed to go. Just in time for Lingying to recruit students, he met the conditions for exceptional admission. , as long as he can get a scholarship. It’s not a problem for him to get into a good university by relying on special sports recruitment.”

"Almost entered the provincial team? That's very promising. Why didn't his mother let him enter?"

"It's also understandable. After all, there are so many runners in the country, and very few of them can really make a name for themselves. The mother probably considers that the road is too difficult, so she hopes that the child can walk a smooth road. With his sports In terms of grades and cultural achievements, it will not be a problem to go to a normal school in the future, and the days to come will be stable."

"Stable? Teacher Nan came to this school to be a teacher because he wanted to be stable?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question, Nan Yanyao was startled, smiled helplessly and said, "Probably."

"Is Zhang Zixuan the kind of troublemaker at school?"

"No, he's quite well-behaved, and I haven't heard of anyone having an affair with him."

"Then Xu Zigui is the one who caused trouble?"

"Xu Zigui...it's even worse." Nan Yanyao shook his head: "I don't know what happened to Xu Zigui."

"Mother Zhang just said that Zhang Zixuan and Xu Zigui are friends."

"Friend?" Nan Yanyao turned to look at him in surprise: "Does Xu Zigui have friends at school? Then maybe Zhang Zixuan knows what he has experienced, whether it is school violence, or why Xu Zigui disappeared. Woolen cloth!"

He looked even more anxious than Chen Sheng, a genuine policeman, as if he wished he could go back to Zhang Zixuan's house right now and pick him up for questioning.

"Yes...so I plan to go to school on Monday to ask Zhang Zixuan, and I need Teacher Nan's cooperation."

"Monday?" But today is only Saturday... No, it's already Sunday, shouldn't the interrogation information be carried out while the iron is hot, and instead be delayed until Monday?Nan Yanyao didn't understand but still said in a low voice: "No problem, we must fully cooperate.

"Mr. Nan, I'm not too worried, but I'm more worried about the school."

"School..." Nan Yanyao suddenly calmed down when he heard these two words, he stared at Chen Xing, and the advice from the principal's office that day sounded in his ears: "By the way, why did Team Leader Chen want to be a police officer in the first place?" ?”

Chen Sheng held the steering wheel, and the scarlet signal light in front of him turned on. He stepped on the brakes, turned his head and smiled at him: "Probably because I watched too many police movies when I was young. At that time, I thought the police were handsome, but I entered the police academy." Only then did I realize that it didn’t seem to be the case at all, but it was too late.”

"Why? If Team Leader Chen doesn't like it, he can change jobs."

"It's not that easy, probably like Zhang Zixuan, I still have a little love for this industry in my heart, plus the so-called stability in the eyes of my parents"

The signal light turned green, and the car turned a corner. Nan Yanyao stared at the scenery outside the window and wondered, "Police... can it be considered a stable job?"

"Looking at the type of work, our group is considered stable."

"But... no matter what type of job it is, the police are all about upholding justice, aren't they?" Nan Yanyao turned her head and stared at Chen Sheng as if there was something in her words.

The police, as "partners of justice," are the last line of defense for ordinary people. If even this line of defense collapses, how should the public live?

"Justice..." Chen Xing whispered these two words.

The word "justice" has another meaning to Chen Sheng.The so-called justice does not actually have a standard for judging. It does not have a clear measurement value like a ruler.Perhaps for some people, "robbing the rich and giving to the poor" is not a bad thing, and some people may think that "jumping in line to occupy seats" is an unforgivable crime.

At the beginning, in the passionate era of Secondary School, he also dreamed of becoming the embodiment of justice, but over time he discovered that "justice" itself is a false proposition.

No one can define whether the boy surrounded in the middle is the "righteous side" or the people pointing, punching and kicking around him are the "righteous side".

"The job of the police is not to uphold justice." Chen Xing glanced at Nan Yanyao and continued, "It's better to say that the police want to abandon 'justice' instead."

Nan Yanyao didn't understand and looked at him suspiciously.

"Our job is not to stand up for the injustice, to redress the grievance for someone." He laughed at himself: "We are just doing our best to restore the truth."

After saying this, the car fell silent, only the whirring of the air conditioner could be heard, suddenly Chen Xing burst out laughing, shaking his head triumphantly and said, "Did I just say something very profound?" if!"

Sure enough, it's still out of shape.

"I hope you can find the 'fact'." Nan Yanyao said this while looking at the increasingly familiar street scene outside the window.

When these words reached Chen Xing's ears, they somehow sounded more provocative. He pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Why does Mr. Nan think I can't find it?"

Nan Yanyao stared at him and thought, maybe it's because of his lack of ability, but perhaps because of his lack of behavior. He shook his head and said, "I believe in Officer Chen's ability."

"Oh..." He braked and stopped on the side of the road, turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Nan must see my ability."

For some reason, when these words came out of his mouth, Nan Yanyao felt hot on his face. He didn't know if there was something wrong with what he said, or something wrong with his own thinking.

The belly script that was ready to fight back was stuck in his throat at this moment, and he couldn't get out a word, so he coughed twice.

"What? Teacher Nan is looking forward to it?"

"I... I'm home, thank you" He pulled off his seat belt in a panic, reached out to open the door but didn't open it.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Xing looked at him with a smile, and pressed the door unlock button with a click: "See you that Monday."

"meet on Monday."

"Good night." Chen Xing leaned over, watched him run away with a smile on his face, and even blew him a kiss that he thought was extremely romantic.

Looking at him disappearing into the background of the dark night and shaking his head, the little teacher lost his mind at a casual tease, and he didn't look like he could do bad things, probably because he was worrying too much.

The next day, he lay on his desk with a blank stare. After tossing all night, he couldn't avoid the fate of clocking in and going to work the next day. Life is too difficult.

Seeing his lack of energy, Xiao Zeyang couldn't help but tease him: "Hey, Group Chen was so excited last night, why is he so lack of energy?"

After saying this, Yu Fan and Ji Xiaojie sniggered aside.

Chen Xing raised his head from the crook of his arms, stared at the dark circles under his eyes, glanced viciously around and said angrily, "If the captain hadn't resisted everything, how could you hurt my spirit now."

"What? Is there something wrong?" Xiao Zeyang still sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"It's not that there is a situation. Xu Zigui's classmate disappeared strangely early this morning, so he called me over in the middle of the night."

"Missing? Come again?" Yu Fan let out a shocked voice.

"The bear boy said he went to the Yedi, and he returned home after three o'clock." After Chen Xing finished speaking, he lay down again like a mountain collapsed and continued: "But I suspect that he didn't go to a nightclub. , but there are other things, and I found Xu Zigui's campus card at his house. I will go to school with Lao Xiao on Monday, and I will meet Xu Zigui and his classmates. There must be something wrong. By the way, Chen Tingting and Yu Fan, How are the missing persons you two interviewed?"

"No gain." Chen Tingting said helplessly: "Basically, they all disappeared in the same way, and the good ones disappeared. These ten students don't have much in common. They are all students of Lingying Middle School, all boys, and they can speak well. The most noteworthy point is that the time of disappearance was either on weekends or during winter and summer vacations, and the first four missing students were all orphans."

"orphan?"

"If the school can accept students from the orphanage, the state will subsidize it, and it will also benefit the school's reputation, so Lingying Middle School recruits students from the orphanage every year."

"Aren't the children in the orphanage all adopted at this age? Still need the school to do good things?" Chen Xing was puzzled.

"It's not [-]% adopted." Ji Xiaojie took the words and continued: "I checked the hospital where Xu Zhaodi and Xu Pandi gave birth and gave birth. It is a general hospital under the Lingmai Group, and it is under the same group as Lingying Middle School. Lingmai Group is very concerned about the medical condition of the orphanage, and organizes the hospital to give the orphanage a health checkup every year."

"Why is this company so conscientious?"

"Probably for the sake of word of mouth. The name and address of the hospital have been sent to Deputy Team Leader Xiao. You can go anytime you want."

"Let's go, Group Chen, stop lying on your stomach." Xiao Zeyang teased him by grabbing the car keys on his desk.

"Damn, you guys can still be human! Is it easy for me to be around the clock? I..."

Chen Sheng cursed and floated out after Xiao Zeyang like a lonely ghost.
