soldiers in front

In a sushi restaurant in the food court of the terminal, a beautiful woman wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat frequently looked at her watch, and there was an untouched Japanese meal for two in front of her.When she looked at the door of the restaurant for the fifth time, she finally saw the person she was waiting for.

She raised her arm: "Mr. Ji."

Ji Zheng quickly saw her, smiled politely at her, walked over and sat down opposite her, and said, "Sorry, the road is too congested. Haven't you eaten yet?"

Liu Yajun said: "I ate it, I ordered it for you."

Ji Zheng wasn't hungry, but he didn't want to take away her kindness, so he picked up a piece of sushi: "What time is your flight?"

Liu Yajun looked at his watch: "Seven past ten, there is still one hour."

It takes at least half an hour to queue up to pass the security check, so Liu Yajun can stay in Weining for at most half an hour.Ji Zheng put down his chopsticks and said, "Ms. Liu, you are short on time, so I will speak directly."

Liu Yajun looked at him with her hands on her chin: "I know you are looking for me because of Qianqian, you can ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you, do you know that Susie has good male friends?"

"Are you talking about a guest?"

"In range."

"There are a few guests who like Sissy better, why are you asking this?"

Ji Zheng didn't have time to explain to her, so he smiled perfunctorily and asked, "Who are they?"

Liu Yajun took out her mobile phone and searched in the address book, and named three or four names, all of whom were Susie's regular customers.Ji Zheng took out the prepared pen and paper, and wrote down the name and contact information she said one by one.

After flipping through the address book, Liu Yajun put the phone on the table, looked at him and said, "By the way, Qianqian still has an acquaintance, but that man is no longer in Weining."

Ji Zheng asked with the mentality of Ning Que Wu Lan: "What's your name?"

"Jiang Zhinan is not a local, but also a part-time worker. He likes Sissy very much, and almost spends all the money he saves on buying things for Sissy, but Sissy doesn't like him. He doesn't have much money—huh? Mr. Ji? "

She found that Ji Zheng suddenly stopped writing, and stood still holding the pen as if he had froze.

After a while, Ji Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yajun, his eyes were messy and calm: "Jiang Zhinan?"

"Yeah, it's Jiang Zhinan, that's right, do you know him?"

Ji Zheng was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know." Then he wrote down the name of 'Jiang Zhinan' in his notebook, and asked: "Among these people, is there anyone with a disability in their left leg?"

Liu Yajun was puzzled: "Disabled? No, they are all healthy."

Having said that, Ji Zheng keenly noticed that Liu Yajun's eyes flickered, as if thinking of someone.

Ji Zhengdao: "Ms. Liu, this person is very important, if you know, please tell me."

Liu Yajun said casually: "Cissy knows such a person. His left foot is a little disabled, and he walks with a clear limp. But he is not Cissy's guest. I asked Sissy who that person was, but Sissy didn't tell me. "

"You don't know who he is?"

"No, but I know where he works."

"where?"

"Hmm...the gas station on Nanhuan North Road."

In the evening, Ji Zheng arrived at the gas station on Nanhuan North Road. He didn't drive in under the name of refueling, but parked the car on the side of the road opposite the gas station, because he had seen the cripple he was looking for, and the cripple might still remember His face, although he was not sure if the cripple at the gas station was the one who attacked Guan Li, but in order to ensure his own safety, he decided to watch from the sidelines.There is a long queue at the entrance and exit of the gas station, and the staff in the station are also very busy.Many staff members were covered by gas pumps, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't move often when they stood in one place, so they couldn't tell whether they were crippled or not.

Ji Zheng waited patiently, trying his best to bring every refueler into his field of vision. After waiting for nearly half an hour, he finally saw the refueling of No. 102 gasoline engine and the refueling of No. 93 gasoline engine in the next door. After looking at the post, the staff of No. 102 were obviously limping when they walked towards No. 93 tanker.

Ji Zheng stared at him, got out of the car and walked a few steps along the side of the road, standing in a position opposite to the lame man, in his repeated bending and straightening movements, he recognized his figure and the night The cripple who attacked Guan oak was very similar.Although they are similar, Ji Zheng has never seen the cripple's face, so he is not sure.But the next scene made Ji Zheng sure that the cripple in front of him was the one he was looking for.

After the refueling private car drove away, the staff of No. 102 refueling machine turned back and hung up the refueling gun, but accidentally stepped on a black plastic pipe on the ground, and the pipe tripped him. He held the refueling machine just in time Being tripped, the colleague beside him pointed at him and laughed and said something.

He also smiled, then bent down to pick up the plastic tube, threw it up, caught the other side of the plastic tube, held the end of the plastic tube backwards, put the plastic tube upright, and stuck it to his arm .

Seeing that scene, Ji Zheng felt chills all over his body, as if he had seen that night, the fully armed lame man threw up the crowbar and caught it again, held the end of the crowbar instead, and stabbed it hard into Guan Yue's chest …

It was getting dark quickly, and he got back in the car, without turning on the lights, and continued to stare at the gas station.

The employees at the gas station are divided into day shifts and night shifts. He doesn't know whether the cripple is on the day shift or the night shift today. If the lame man is on the night shift, he will definitely have to stay in the car all night.However, his luck seemed to be good. Around ten o'clock, the cripple changed his overalls and went to the parking lot inside the gas station.

Ji Zheng saw that he was going to drive, took advantage of this time to enter the gas station, walked into the chief operating room, and asked a woman inside who was sorting out the shelves: "Hi, what's the name of the staff in charge of No. 102 tanker just now?" ? He forgot to return the gas card to me."

The woman said: "You mean Jin Tao, he just left."

Ji Zheng kept these two words in his heart: "Is it the one with some inconvenience in the left leg?"

"Yes, yes, he seems to be driving, you—"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Zheng turned around and left the chief operating room, because he saw a black domestic car with manual transmission leaving the gas station, and the person inside was Jin Tao.

Ji Zheng quickly crossed the road, returned to the car and drove towards the car.

The car in front was driving very fast, and Ji Zheng was chasing him very closely. He is not afraid of being exposed now, because even if Jin Tao has seen his face, he has never seen his car. With a strong heart, he is always anti-reconnaissance, otherwise the probability of being followed is not high.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the traffic and pedestrians on the street only increased, until Ji Zheng followed the car in front through the downtown area and arrived at a non-commercial street.This street is relatively quiet. Most of the surrounding buildings are residential buildings, and the traffic flow has dropped sharply.Ji Zheng kept a distance of [-] meters from the car in front, and deliberately let a white off-road drive between them.In this way, he followed Jin Tao around five streets and drove on the road for more than an hour. After more than an hour, the black domestic car finally stopped. Ji Zheng noticed that the car in front was slowing down and parked the car on the side of the road first. Dao, through the car window, I saw that black car got into a place without street lights, parked under a row of camphor trees in the forest belt like a ghost, and blended with the black shadow of the trees.

Ji Zheng looked around and found that Jin Tao took him to a small trading market with complex terrain. Most of the shops here sell fresh agricultural and sideline products, so they are closed at night. The lights of the scattered shops are all off. Few lights.The sky is as dark and silent as the earth, and the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses and voices from the busy city seem to come from another world.

Ji Zheng picked up his phone and looked at the time. He had been waiting for more than an hour, and Jin Tao had been waiting for half an hour. He didn't know if Jin Tao would do anything next, but Jin Tao lay in ambush under the shadow of the dark forest for a long time. One hour must be waiting for someone, or for an opportunity.

Another half hour passed, and it seemed that Jin Tao's chance had finally arrived.

Ji Zheng saw a figure flashing under the shadow of the tree; he was dressed in black and hat, with his head lowered and waist hooked, and he limped on his left leg and disappeared at the intersection of parking.

After he completely disappeared at the intersection, Ji Zheng got out of the car and walked over. He squatted behind his domestic car and saw a figure with a limping left leg passing through the intersection. went south.That street was full of street lamps, Ji Zheng didn't dare to follow him, after all Jin Tao had seen his face, and with the lesson from last time, he will not underestimate any villain's anti-reconnaissance ability now.

He was standing in the shadow of Jin Tao's car, watching Jin Tao walk several tens of meters south along the side of the road, then Jin Tao stopped, looked around furtively, took out his key and opened a shop on the side of the road door, and slipped in.

Then, Ji Zheng saw that the light in that shop was on, and a few minutes later, the light was off again.

Another hour passed, Ji Zheng stood under the tree and did not leave, and Jin Tao did not come out again, as if he was going to spend the night in that shop.

He felt strange, if Jin Tao just came back to sleep, why did he wait under the tree for more than an hour in a sneaky way?Or is he still waiting for someone?

Just when Ji Zheng was hesitating whether to take the risk to find out, the light in that shop turned on again. This time the light was turned on for a long time, more than ten minutes. After ten minutes, the light was turned off again, and Jin Tao walked out immediately. The shop locked the door and returned along the same road.

When Ji Zheng saw him coming back, he quickly bent down and got into the forest belt. With his eyes hidden among the forest leaves, he saw Jin Tao walking back with his left leg limping, with his hands in his sleeves, as if he was hiding something.He walked in a little haste, and when he got under the dark tree, he was hit by a branch in the face. He pushed the branch away, opened the car door and got in the car, turned around and drove back.

When he drove out of this secluded alley, Ji Zheng came out of the forest belt and continued to follow him by car.

Jin Tao was still driving very fast, even faster than when he was supposed to, and almost ran through red lights several times. Ji Zheng followed him two cars away, suspicious of his purpose for going to that shop, and suspected that he hid in that shop. something, or something.

He followed Jin Tao today, and he must draw a clue or conclusion, because he used the night when he was supposed to watch a drama with Xia Bingyang to follow Jin Tao, and he must gain something, otherwise this night would be meaningless to him.

However, this night seemed destined to be unusual. Ji Zheng put his hands on the steering wheel while waiting for the red light, so he accidentally discovered the 'clue' that he should have discovered earlier——his cuffs were actually stained with blood.He thought it was blood from the wound on his wrist, but the white gauze was clean, and the blood stained the outside of his cuffs.He looked at the pool of blood on the cuff of his right hand, and suddenly remembered that when he just came out of the forest belt, he raised his right hand to push away the branches and leaves, and the cluster of branches and leaves he pushed away seemed to be the same cluster that was pushed away by Jin Tao... ...Could it be that the blood that Jin Tao left on the branches and leaves stained his cuff?

Ji Zheng had a cold light on his back for a moment, and instantly understood all of Jin Tao's actions tonight. Jin Tao was waiting under the shadow of a dark tree, which was "ambush". His actions are—to commit murder.

Jin Tao killed a man in that shop just now!

Ji Zheng turned the car around, ran over the flowerbed between the two lanes, and merged into the turning lane.Half an hour later, he parked his car at the door of the shop. He got out of the car and ran forward, only to find that the shop door was locked, but the rusty old-fashioned padlock only needed to be slammed on the shop door. Kick it, and the lock will open immediately.

With the lights on inside, Ji Zheng rushed in and took a look, only to find that this is not a shop, but a studio, with two rooms inside and outside, and there are many picture frames in the corners of the outside room, with gouache floating in the air. smell.He walked through the outer room to the inner room, and the lights were on inside, so he saw the messy pool of blood on the ground at a glance. The bright red blood shone like white thorns under the dim incandescent lamp.

Ji Zheng's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to approach without authorization, because this was the first crime scene, and he could not destroy the scene, nor could he leave anything that belonged to him.He stared blankly at the pool of blood on the ground for a moment, the fresh smell of blood surged in his throat, the redness strongly stimulated his vision and made him dizzy physiologically.He collected himself, looked away from the pool of blood with a pale face, and saw a satchel lying on the edge of the pool of blood. The zipper of the satchel was open, and some papers were spilled from it.

He squatted down, put his hands on a paper towel, and pulled the satchel in front of him. He saw that the scattered paper was a lease contract. The place that was leased was this small studio. The landlord was a woman named Xue Ximei. And the lessee turned out to be...Wu Zheng.

When Ji Zheng saw the word Wu Zheng, his eyes shook suddenly, no less than the astonishment of seeing a pool of blood buried deep in his eyes.

He slowly raised his head, and looked at the pool of blood on the ground shining with white sharp edges, as if he saw Wu Zheng lying in a pool of blood.He closed his eyes to find more direct evidence that the bag belonged to Wu Zheng, and found a painting book with a sky blue cover.

Ji Zheng flipped through a page through a tissue, and found that it was a drawing, most of which was a cartoon image of a little boy, and this drawing seemed to have a name, Ji Zheng turned to the front, and there was a line written Page, read silently in my heart; my dear... With a 'choke' sound, the dilapidated window frame was shaken by the evening wind, at the moment when Ji Zheng went wrong, the picture book in his hand fell to the ground, stained with blood The strap of his satchel fell on the page with the writing on it, and the blood stain increased to one of the words, and that word turned into a drop of blood.

Ji Zheng realized that he had accidentally soiled the evidence, so he stopped touching those things, stood up and looked at the room, only to find that this studio had a back door, which was opposite to the back alley of the food street, no wonder he just now No one was seen entering or leaving the studio except Jin Tao.Now the back door was ajar, but there was no one in the room, and the owner of the studio, Wu Zheng, was nowhere to be seen, only a pool of blood on the ground.

Did Jin Tao kill Wu Zheng?Where is Wu Zheng's body?

Ji Zheng looked at the concealed back door and the dark alley behind the door, and seemed to be able to see people passing by behind the door.

No matter whether Wu Zheng was taken away or escaped by himself, he could not continue the investigation alone. What happened before him was a criminal case that must be handled by the police.

Ji Zheng left the studio and drove on the road again, this time he went to the police station.

He didn't call the police or notify the nearby police station first, and asked the police to control the scene first, because there were his footprints at the murder scene, and he needed to explain to the police why he appeared at the scene, if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation , he will be regarded as the murderer who shouted to catch the thief. This is a loophole in the criminal investigation procedure.

He only trusts Min Chengzhou, he believes that Min Chengzhou will not really regard him as a murderer.

When the Nantai branch arrived, he parked his car outside the gate of the police station. One of Min Chengzhou's subordinates ran out of the security room and shouted at him, "Doctor Ji?"

The criminal police took Ji Zheng into the building after confirming that Ji Zheng was Dr. Ji whom Min Chengzhou ordered him to pick up.

Ji Zheng took off his glasses, wiped the thin sweat between his brows and asked, "Where is your Captain Min?"

"Upstairs in the office."

Ji Zheng followed the criminal police to Min Chengzhou's office. Min Chengzhou was having a meeting with several policemen. Min Chengzhou was in a good mood. When he saw Ji Zheng, he smiled and said, "Hey, the unlucky guy who took Yang Shu's pocket is caught."

Ji Zheng squeezed his glasses and walked towards him, because there were other people present, so he just smiled and didn't ask anything.

Min Chengzhou patted the empty seat beside him. As soon as Ji Zheng sat down, he put his arms around Ji Zheng's shoulders and said, "What do you think Yang Shu does? He is responsible for recruiting girls for the Deep Sea Club. Responsible for introducing female college students who have not entered the sea to rich people. What you do is really not human."

Ji Zheng was not interested in Yang Shu's work content, but was attracted by a long communication list full of phone numbers on the table, picked it up and asked, "What is this?"

Min Chengzhou said: "Didn't someone steal Yang Shu's bag at the police station? We caught the thief and found Yang Shu's mobile phone in the bag. This is the phone book and communication records retrieved from Yang Shu's mobile phone. Either the seller who introduced him to the girl, or the seller who introduced him to the girl."

Ji Zheng just glanced roughly, waiting for Min Chengzhou to clear the scene and give him a chance to speak, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a string of familiar cell phone numbers.Although he doesn't memorize other people's mobile phone numbers very much, as long as he sees them, he will be more or less impressed, unless the time is too long and the previous memories are squeezed out of his head by new memories.The string of numbers at the bottom looked familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere, but would anyone in his social circle be involved with a pimp like Yang Shu?

But this string of numbers is really familiar, it seems that I have only seen it not long ago...

Soon, Ji Zheng remembered. With a cold and pale face, he took out a wallet from the inner pocket of the suit jacket, took out a business card from the interlayer, and put the business card on the string of numbers to compare one by one.. ....It turned out to be verbatim.

Min Chengzhou put his arm around his shoulder and looked at the business card: "Shao Yunfeng? Who? Do you know him?"

Yes, this business card was left to him by the man who paid for him at the pharmacy, named Shao Yunfeng.
