Thorns

Si Qingyang just looked at Gu Mengping so quietly, but did not answer his question, neither of them spoke again, Gu Mengping felt a little angry, he felt that Si Qingyang had something to hide from him.

This seems to have been out of his control. It is not that Si Qingyang has never acted alone in the past, but he knows most of his whereabouts, and Si Qingyang's past actions have nothing to do with the case. Yang's life after his release from prison is almost familiar.

However, at this moment, he found that Si Qingyang seemed to be hiding many things from him.

But Gu Mengping didn't mean to tie Si Qingyang to his belt. Si Qingyang is already an adult, and he really needs some space for himself. Things are not simple.

He is really capable, and it is not impossible for him to find out these contents, but by what means did he find out that this art exhibition was opened by Fu Jiu, why doesn't he admit it now.

The atmosphere between the two became tense in an instant. It seemed that no one was willing to take a step back. Gu Mengping's mood suddenly became complicated, even with a faint sense of decadence. He knew that Si Qingyang would at some point The stubborn ones can't even pull back the cow, and they are also very withdrawn in character. Since the other party doesn't plan to retreat, then the two of them will continue to be in a stalemate like this.

What Gu Mengping wanted was an explanation from him, but Si Qingyang couldn't do it, because he was a person who didn't like explanations, but at this moment, Gu Mengping wanted to get an explanation from him, even if it was a simple sentence , but Si Qingyang didn't answer him.

A touch of loneliness appeared on Gu Mengping's face. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked away.

He became the one who retreated first, because he knew Si Qingyang too well, and the other party looked calm, maybe he didn't know what his problem was until now, and maybe he didn't understand why Gu Mengping was asking now.

In Si Qingyang's mind, this matter is very simple. He led Gu Mengping to find clues and advance the development of the case. These are enough, and the remaining corners and corners are not important at all. I don't even bother to explain.

Gu Mengping let out a long breath. He still didn't want to quarrel with Si Qingyang, because arguing about this kind of thing would make him feel a little unreasonable. He is also someone who knows Si Qingyang well, and he knows that it's time for the two of them to communicate. But not now.

At this moment, the case is still going on, and if there are many things, the whole person will appear to be very impetuous. It is not suitable for two people to talk quietly under such mood.

He took care of his sudden outburst of emotions, and gradually calmed down. He walked towards the door first, and when he passed by Si Qingyang, he asked, "Have you recovered your memory?"

"No." A light sentence, without too much explanation, not even a rebuttal, Si Qingyang did not lie.

But these two words are enough for Gu Mengping, and the worries in his heart have been reduced a lot.

Since Si Qingyang's last performance against the snake, Gu Mengping has been thinking that many memory fragments have appeared in Si Qingyang's mind, and the moment when Si Qingyang recovers his memory should not be far away.

But there was still some melancholy in his heart. He felt that there were still many things he hadn't had time to unravel. He said he would help Si Qingyang regain his memory, but in retrospect he seemed to have done nothing.

In the afternoon, Mu Zhiyuan noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Gu Mengping's expression, but he couldn't say exactly what was wrong.Originally, Si Qingyang was not a talkative person, and Mu Zhiyuan didn't notice it. Until the evening, Mu Zhiyuan felt that the atmosphere between these two big guys seemed quite subtle.

"Is there any news about Fu Jiu's other investigations?" Gu Mengping asked.

"It's not easy to check. This person is too clean. Almost nothing can be found. A person who has just returned to China is basically working for his ex-wife who participated in the art exhibition. There are not many other traces of life." Mu Zhiyuan shook his head and said.

Gu Mengping was not surprised by this.

But at night, Gu Mengping received another message that Butler Wu had disappeared.

As for Butler Wu, Gu Mengping didn't think it had much to do with the murder case, but like Wu Xiu and Wu Hai, he was an insider in Li Fang's case. Because Wu Xiu provided clues in exchange, so even though Butler Wu was looking for investigators They were monitoring, but the investigators didn't report any news back. How could Wu Xiu tell her that Butler Wu was missing?

Gu Mengping hung up the phone and quickly contacted the two investigators who were following him, but the information he received surprised him. It turned out that the two of them didn't notice that the person was missing, but only saw that Butler Wu had been staying in a villa that Wu Xiu bought. , I went out for activities the day before yesterday. I just bought some vegetables and went back to the villa. To be honest, I didn’t do anything, but this person never came out after entering, and Wu Xiu never came to visit this person. , they saw Wu Xiu go in less than half an hour, and when he disappeared, the two investigators who were following around the clock didn't know at all.

Gu Mengping didn't feel at all that the investigator was negligent in his duties and lost the person. All the police officers in the bureau knew the seriousness of the case, and the follow-up was done by two people in shifts. Regarding the level of the special case team, he still had no idea. Confident, that is to say, this steward Wu already knew that someone was following him, and left Wu Xiu's villa without them knowing.

No one came in or out of Wu Xiu's villa these days, and it was clear that no one took Butler Wu away.

But what about in the dark?Whether Butler Wu left by himself, or someone took him away, Gu Mengping couldn't tell just based on a few words on the phone.

He quickly took the key and was going to go to Wu Xiu's villa to have a look.

Regarding the disappearance of the staring person, the faces of the two investigators were not very good. They felt that they had not completed the task well, but although they were a little frustrated, the mentality of the two of them quickly adjusted.

"When was the last time you saw Butler Wu in action?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Last night, he went out for a walk at night and then went back," said the investigator.

"Have you turned on the lights at night?" Gu Mengping asked again.

"It was turned on, and the lights were turned off at about ten o'clock. He did the same thing two days ago, and he went to bed at ten o'clock." The investigator said truthfully.

In fact, Wu Xiu has been in touch with Butler Wu all the time, and Steward Wu has always carried his mobile phone with him, but at this moment, Butler Wu's mobile phone is on the bedside table, and it is still charging. Wu Xiu's missed call is displayed on the Locked on the desktop.

There are not many traces in the house, but there are some messy footsteps. It can be seen that Old Man Wu has been pacing in the house for a long time. These traces have not been removed, but another footprint extended from the window and stopped by the bed. Come down with your toes out and your heels against the bed.

At that time, this woman should have been sitting on the bed watching Butler Wu paced in front of her for a long time.

Finally, both men walked towards the window.

Gu Mengping took a look, this is the second floor, it is not difficult to go down, but the courtyard is connected to the courtyard, and this window leads to the courtyard next door, but the next door is inhabited, it has been verified, it is two young people Husband and wife, they are very unfamiliar with the matter of Wu Xiu's house.There is a pet dog in the yard, and it will bark twice when it sees strangers.

It was because of such conditions that only two people were sent to guard the gate, but now it seems that Butler Wu should have left through the window.

People in their sixties, who would have thought that they would leave through the window, could be regarded as their negligence.

"It should be followed voluntarily." There was no sign of struggle in the room, and the footprints on the ground were very clear. Gu Mengping felt that from this point of view, Butler Wu should not have been coerced.

But it was a woman who led Butler Wu away, which made Gu Mengping feel a little strange, and the shoe prints even seemed familiar to him.

He had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't prove it completely.Because the pattern of the soles has changed, it can only be said that the physical characteristics are somewhat similar to the person he thought, with a height of more than 1.6 meters, and about forty or fifty years old.

"Check to see if Wu Zhen's housekeeper has any connection with the disappeared principal." Gu Mengping called Mu Zhiyuan.

He stood by the wall and looked down again. It was not high, only about four meters. Because it was a lawn, there were no footprints.

For some reason, this case made him think of Ye Min again. He felt that the director of this orphanage had a lot of similarities with the fake Ye Min, but he couldn't say what to say. That woman is still at large. .

When Ye Min left, Gu Mengping knew that the case was not over yet. Although Li Zian was in the case, he let the woman escape. Gu Mengping vaguely felt that those people would not let go of the domestic market. There was such a feeling.

He even felt that Wu Zhen probably didn't just build an orphanage to make these videos, he might have other secrets that haven't been dug out.

That night, Gu Mengping wasn't surprised that the neighbor's dog didn't bark. The dog is a voracious animal, so if you feed it casually, it's not difficult to control it.

Sure enough, after the test, the ingredients of sleeping pills were indeed found in the dog's blood, and Gu Mengping knew that he had underestimated these people.

Sure enough, he was still too confident in himself, he missed the big fish, but lost his bait.

Naturally, the other party came prepared, and Gu Mengping didn't expect to find anything. Sure enough, the group of people who checked and monitored found no useful information, and Gu Mengping felt upset.

After lighting a cigarette, he stood in the corridor, looking at the deep twilight outside...
