"Almost." Ji Liao was thoughtful, and drove towards the Dongcheng Sub-bureau. After a long time, he asked again: "What do you think?"

"Well..." Yan Cun said, "At first, I thought the same as you. This person is too mysterious, and we may have to be more vigilant. But I just thought about it carefully. The previous recording said, 'That person People' are good at controlling others, they can grasp every lifeline of yours tightly, and won't let you realize who he is, and won't let you realize that you are being controlled... Do you understand what I mean? ?”

"..." Ji Liao nodded, "Understood."

"Neither of the two people who received the threatening text messages revealed any clues they knew," Yan Cun said. "On the one hand, the other party is hiding them in the open. The seeds of doubt are planted in their hearts. They don't know who they can trust around them, and they dare not act rashly. On the other hand, the other party expresses their position as an "informed person" and uses the most vulnerable point of human nature to keep telling them that "someone will Because something happened to you', they used their feelings of guilt and fear to control them, so they were afraid of involving the people close to them, so they naturally became more worried."

He seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Ji Liao, and added: "And the two of us didn't tell everything we know."

Everyone has reservations, and everyone dares not tell everything they know. Now that they suspect that this person is someone from the police or someone close to them, everyone will only be more vigilant and it will be more difficult to detect themselves. is being controlled.

"Perhaps all of this is within that person's expectation," Ji Liao whispered, "He is destroying the trust between us."

"Yes." Yan Cun thought for a while, "Of course this is just my guess... This matter may not be so simple, I will think about it for a while, maybe I have to guess what the ultimate goal of those people is."

Ji Liao nodded his head and said "Yes", he didn't speak for a long time, he parked the car in the parking lot of Dongcheng Sub-bureau, turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Why didn't he have reservations from beginning to end.

It's just that he never doubted whether he was also under the control of the other party from the beginning to the end.

But Yan Cun didn't mean that.

Think of it as a love relationship with heavy filters, he has never doubted Ji Liao, he can feel Ji Liao's sincerity in the process of getting along all the time, and Ji Liao didn't deliberately hide it, and he told himself generously last time There are some things that cannot be said yet, and it has been confirmed that there will be no conflict between their positions.

He trusted Ji Liao.

But I still can't help being a little curious: "I still want to ask, how much do you know that I don't know?"

And, what Ji Liao said must be done.

It was windy outside the car, and the two of them were shivering from the cold. Seeing that Yan Cun was only wearing a thin long-sleeved uniform, Ji Liao took out a coat from the back seat of the car and put it on him: "Not many."

Ji Liao added in a low voice: "Not as much as I love you."

"...It's too rustic." Seeing Ji Liao's solemn expression and saying such words, Yan Cun wanted to laugh a little, so he greeted the receptionist first.

He walked forward in small steps, and continued to ask: "If I know as much as the Arctic Ocean..."

"Hmm." Ji Liao thought for a while, and then replied, "The Pacific Ocean is still a bit smaller."

"...Ten times up is not much??" Yan Cun asked again in a low voice after being visited by Versailles, "So where did you know so many things? It was the same at Fenglin Bar last time, even there was a private The clubhouse knows."

He let his imagination run wild for a while, thinking a little far, maybe Ji Liao is not a double agent?

The receptionist led the two of them to the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. Ji Liao whispered in his ear, "You will know soon," and put the topic aside for the time being.

He went through the process in his mind, Gao Kuiliang should be the next one after that...

"Team Yan."

The couple at the desk chatted a little excitedly, and the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Lou Yu, went up to greet him first, his voice was almost covered.

He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Excuse me, Captain Yan, our side is noisy, a bit noisy."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

The criminal investigation detachment and the brigade are relatively familiar, mainly Jianghuai and Captain Lou here. Yan Cun has seen him a few times, smiled at him politely, and quickly got to the point: "We came this time mainly for the incident last time." The disappearance case... He Jiu mentioned it to you before, right?"

"Yes, Team He mentioned this a little bit last time." Lou Yu pulled up a chair and came over. After the two of them sat down at the desk, he noticed Ji Liao who was obediently standing aside and not speaking. , "This... looks familiar."

"My colleague." Yan Cun said.

"Hello, Captain Lou." Ji Liao replied, "I'm Ji Liao."

"Ah, good." Lou Yu nodded and asked someone to pour a glass of water for the two of them. Just as he was about to get to the point, he was interrupted by a voice from the next table, and shouted impatiently, "Ye Yuming ! Control the volume on your side!"

"Hey!" There was a hasty reply from the other side of the table, "I know Lou Que!"

"What are you doing over there?" In fact, Yan Cun just listened quietly and heard that there seemed to be a guessing about the murderer over there. He also heard Jiang Huai say about the tradition of this branch before: "Are there any new cases?"

He heard a "ding" coming from beside him, and turned his head to take a look hesitantly.

Ji Liao lowered his head and turned on the phone.

"No."

Lou Yu sighed, and couldn't bear the unrestrained handling style of his brigade: "It's a bit of a coincidence, I was just going to talk about this - our side received a report a few days ago that someone was in the old city. A corpse was found in the underground warehouse of an abandoned dilapidated house, the deceased was named Liang Jiawen, who happened to be the one who told you about the disappearance last time."

"..." Yan Cun's focus was not right, "Mei?? What kind of quantifier is this?"

He pondered for a while before reacting: "Are you all at the guessing session? Have you locked down the suspect so quickly?"

"Not yet Team Yan!" Ye Yuming, who guessed the murderer just now, also came over: "But we have already figured it out! Do you want to come and play too? The prize pool has already added up to five hot pots and three barbecues." , two servings of crayfish!"

Yan Cunyou was affected by the atmosphere in this game, and he was inexplicably moved: "... Please everyone? Can you play like this?"

"Tsk! Don't interrupt Ye Yuming!" Lou Yu sent him: "Go and bring the case investigation materials to Dui Yan."

"Oh, good." Ye Yuming nodded, sprinted [-] meters to another table, and quickly transported the laptop here: "Come on, Captain Yan."

Yan Cun replied "Yes".

Lou Yu cleared his throat, recovered his senses and started to get down to business: "The deceased's name is Liang Jiawen, 26 years old, a distant relative of Gao Kuiliang. The place where the body was found was located in the underground warehouse of an abandoned and dilapidated building in the old neighborhood."

He opened the document, and first explained the autopsy results: "There were obvious bruises on the neck of the deceased's body. It should have been strangled by someone with a hemp rope, and the body color was purple. According to the forensic examination of our team, he died of suffocation. The possibility is extremely high, but at the same time, the deceased's head has traces of being injured by a heavy object, and the time of the two wounds should be very close, it is really difficult to distinguish whether the deceased was injured by a heavy object or strangled to death."

Yan Cun let out a "hmm" and flipped through the photos taken at the scene for a while. The corpse was thin and haggard: "This modus operandi...is a bit brutal."

He seemed to think of something, and asked again: "The deceased was thin before his death?"

"No." Lou Yu replied: "According to the testimonies of the deceased's former friends, Liang Jiawen's body is relatively strong, but the corpse is obviously much thinner than before, with muscle atrophy and subcutaneous fat. It is very likely that it will last for a long time. Without food, it is hard to imagine what kind of abuse and devastation the deceased suffered during his lifetime."

"Hmm..." Yan Cun quickly realized, "Is this imprisoned by...?"

Ji Liao obediently sat on the side, listened for a while without saying a word, and turned the clue record back a page, seemingly thoughtful.

"It's very possible." Lou Yu said: "He may have been imprisoned/imprisoned there for a long time, judging from the time of his disappearance, it's been about half a year...how about I talk about the previous disappearance The results of the investigation of the case?"

Yan Cun replied "Yes".

Lou Yu turned around and asked Ye Yuming to bring over a document, cleared his throat, and started to get to the point: "This Liang Jiawen was a gangster before his death. He went to bars and nightclubs every day since junior high school. He loved to fight. He had a history of drug abuse when he was a teenager. .”

"The family has a little money, there are many brothers and servants around, no close friends, and has never had a job. I just took over my father's bar two years ago, and I don't care about things. I just drink and goof around every day."

"Well," Yan Cun asked, "The person who reported the crime is...?"

"The person who reported the case was an errand boy in Liang Jiawen's bar, named Li Sheng, who only came this year." Lou Yu said.

Relevant investigator Ye Yuming also came forward to report: "This Li Sheng said that his elder brother usually has a hot temper, and Li Sheng didn't dare to provoke him. In addition, Liang Jiawen was in a bad mood a while ago, so people should not bother him, so Li Sheng had to Tell the other younger brothers not to disturb his elder brother."

"At first, Li Sheng didn't think there was any problem. Liang Jiawen used to be in a bad mood. It was normal for him to go out and play for a month or two without contact. It wasn't until later that he realized that his elder brother seemed to have evaporated. He couldn't find any trace, and no one knew who he asked, so he went to Liang Jiawen's house to check, and found that this house seemed to have been lived in for a long time."

"Hmm..." Yan Cun seemed to have thought of something: "It took almost half a year for someone to find out? Isn't half a year too long?"

"Yes, it's been a while." Ye Yuming sighed and said, "Although Li Sheng realized that something was wrong early on, but remembering that his elder brother Liang Jiawen has always been unclean and has a history of drug abuse several times, he is afraid My elder brother just went out to relax, he didn't dare to make a big deal, and he didn't call the police until he couldn't hide it."
