soldiers in front

The thief who committed crimes in the courtroom and stole Yang Shu's pocket was Xue Junxiang.There is no cash or other valuables in Yang Shu's pocket, only a dilapidated domestic mobile phone and documents.Xue Junxiang tried to resell Yang Shu's mobile phone, but he gave up because the buyer's bid was too low.Xue Junxiang threw Yang Shu's broken mobile phone in a drawer as waste, until Min Chengzhou found it in a dusty corner and turned it into evidence.

Ji Zheng was right, Yang Shu did leave evidence about Li instigating him to commit murder; Yang Shu's cell phone contained three recorded calls and two video recordings.Randomly pick out a paragraph, it is the ironclad evidence that Guan Li instigated the murder.But Yang Shu did not leave any evidence for himself pointing the murderer at Guan Li.

After Min Chengzhou got the evidence, he set out to arrest Guan Li immediately. Several police cars were ready to go in the compound of the Public Security Bureau. When Min Chengzhou walked out of the office building, he suddenly received a call. The caller showed an unknown number, but he knew who it was the moment he answered it. calling.

Guan Li said to him: "Officer Min, I am Guan Li. I killed Yang Shu. Come and arrest me."

Guan Li finished this sentence in a tone of despair and no will to survive, and then hung up the phone.And when Min Chengzhou led people into Guan Yue's two-bedroom apartment that he had sold for several times, Guan Yue was lying on the sofa full of clothes, with his hands folded in front of him, peacefully as if he was asleep. up.A bottle of deadly chemicals was placed on the coffee table beside it, and a handwritten 'self-report' was pressed on the medicine bottle.

"Guan Yue died, it was suicide."

In the early morning, Ji Zheng received a call from Min Chengzhou in the kitchen.

He slowly put down the knife in his hand, looked at the half-cut bread on the floating platform, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Suicide?"

"Yes, suicide. We took the body back to the police station a few hours ago and just finished the autopsy."

Ji Zheng lowered his eyes silently, picked up the knife again, and cut the sliced ​​bread into slices of uniform thickness.

Min Chengzhou waited for a while but did not wait for him to speak, so he could only talk to himself: "Guan Li left a self-report. He admitted that he killed Yang Shu."

"......anything else?"

Min Chengzhou smiled bitterly: "It's gone."

Ji Zheng put down the knife again, frowned and said, "It's gone? '

"Well, it's gone. Guan Li only explained the criminal facts of one murder case. He didn't explain how the girl brought to Su Qian's house by Yang Shu died."

"Has the girl's identity been found out?"

"Yang Shu found it from the train station, probably a foreigner who went to work in Weining. Now Yang Shu is dead, and Guan Li is also dead. There is no way to find out the identity of this girl."

The implication is that even the identity of the female corpse who replaced Susie cannot be traced, and Susie whose life and death are unknown is even more impossible to find out.Guan Yue and Yang Shu were the only ones involved in the case of Susie's disappearance and the unnamed female corpse. Now that Yang Shu was killed by Guan Li, and Guan Li committed suicide after surrendering himself, the two cases were completely broken by the dead Guan Li.

Although Min Chengzhou didn't say it, Ji Zheng felt that Guan Li chose to die in order to continue to cover up the truth about Susie's disappearance.And Guan Li chose to die in order to cover up the truth of Susie's disappearance, and it must be to cover another person whom he would not be able to offend if he died ten thousand times——Wei Qingyang.

Ji Zheng remembered the night when Guan Li hijacked him, Wei Qingyang stood on a road away from him, and he stared at Wei Qingyang.Only now did he know that what he was staring at was not Wei Qingyang, but the dead souls standing behind Wei Qingyang; Yang Shu, Guan Li, the nameless girl, Bai Xiaoting, and Ji Yun...

"Hello? Ji Zheng? Did you hang up——"

Ji Zheng left the kitchen, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, sat down on a single sofa on the balcony, and said, "I'm listening."

"Why don't you talk, I thought you were dead, what did I want to say... Oh, why did you leave suddenly last night? Why did you come to me?"

Ji Zheng was silent again. Last night he went to Min Chengzhou to inform him of a murder case involving Jin Tao, Su Qian, Yao Zichen, and Wu Zheng, who hadn't surfaced until now.He wanted to tell Min Chengzhou that Yao Zichen's fiancé, Wu Zheng, was killed. The murderer was Jin Tao who worked at the gas station. If Jin Tao was caught and Jin Tao's motive for committing the crime was found out, the relationship between Jin Tao, Su Qian and Yao Zichen might be straightened out.But he suddenly changed his mind, because he looked out of Min Chengzhou's office window and saw a black car parked on the side of the road opposite the Public Security Bureau. The license plate number was familiar to him, and it was the one Yan Shen often drove. .

Later, in the name of going to the bathroom, he quietly left the Public Security Bureau, like a soldier in a defeated army.

He also parked the car opposite the Public Security Bureau. When he picked up the car, he inevitably passed by the black car. He thought he would see Yan Shen in that car, but there were only two people in the car. Strong men, they sat in the driver's seat and the co-pilot, when Ji Zheng looked at them, they did not avoid Ji Zheng's gaze, and looked at Ji Zheng majesticly, as if they were issuing a silent warning to Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng didn't waste time on the road, Yan Shen's people must know where he lives.Even if his home has become a city with traps, he has to go back, because there is still a side of the house.When he got home, there was no one in the house, the living room was lit with a circle of orange wall lamps, and the TV series that Bian Xiaoqu liked to watch was playing on the TV.He didn't have time to change his shoes, so he went straight to Bian Xiaoqu's bedroom. The room was lit, but the bed was empty.

"Xiao Qu...Nurse Jiang!"

There was a slight noise from the west study, and the fat Nurse Jiang quickly came out of the study holding the egg yolk: "Doctor Ji is back, the kitten ran to your study just now, I'm worried that it will mess up—"

"Where's the little one?!"

Ji Zheng has always been refined and refined, never speaking loudly, but now he showed a fierce look.Nurse Jiang was taken aback by his yelling, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Que is sleeping in the room, she returned to the room two hours ago—"

Nurse Jiang was halfway through speaking, and suddenly pointed to the direction of the bathroom behind Ji Zheng: "It's there, Xiao Qu is there."

Ji Zheng turned his head and saw Bian Xiaoqu, who was wearing a pink nightgown, came out of the bathroom rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Brother Ji, you came back very late."

Ji Zheng strode over and hugged her tightly in his arms, stroked her hair in shock, and whispered as if comforting himself: "It's okay, it's okay."

Then he personally took Bian Xiaoqu back to the room, turned off the light, and sat beside Bian Xiaoqu's bed, looking at her dim profile in the night.

Bian Xiaoqu lifted the quilt, most of her face was eaten away by the pillow, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she said in a sweet voice, "Brother Ji, you can sleep with me."

Ji Zheng didn't say anything, just covered her quilt silently, and then patted Bian Xiaoqu's shoulder lightly like coaxing a child to sleep.

Soon, Bian Xiaoqu fell asleep.Ji Zheng got up to draw the curtains, stood behind the window and looked out, and saw the black car parked in the shadow of the trees downstairs. The car was not turned off, and the lights were always on, like a beast lurking in the night.

Ji Zheng came out of Bian Xiaoqu's bedroom, returned to his room after taking a shower, and lay on the bed, with the black car parked downstairs in front of his eyes and in his mind.Gradually, as the night deepened, and before he fell asleep, a guess suddenly appeared in his mind. The black car followed him from the police station to his home, obviously monitoring him, but this kind of monitoring did not seem to be fatal. Non-lethal surveillance seems to be a kind of... protection.

Is Yan Shen sending someone to protect him?

This problem followed from last night to early morning, Ji Zheng sat on the balcony and looked down, the black car was still parked in the same place, it didn’t move all night, just turned off the lights.

"I... just passing by."

He hung up Min Chengzhou's phone, sat on the balcony and looked at the car downstairs, as if the people in the car were staring at him.

Half an hour later, he sat down and put his breakfast on the table, but he didn't eat it himself, only drank a glass of milk.When he went back to his room to change his clothes and was about to go out, nurse Jiang just arrived.

He gave nurse Jiang a few words as usual, and then went out to work.When he arrived at the company, he did not change his suit jacket into a white coat as usual, but stood in front of the office window and looked out the window. Sure enough, he saw the black car following from the downstairs of the community to the downstairs of the office building.

There were two knocks on the office door, then Xiao Jiang opened the door and walked in holding Ji Zheng's white coat: "Good morning, Dr. Ji, there is a little ink on the cuff of your clothes, I will clean it for you. ... Doctor Ji?"

Xiao Jiang looked at the back of Ji Zheng standing in front of the window; Ji Zheng put his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, his shoulders were opened in a "one" shape, his back was as straight as his legs, and the suit fabric on his body was exposed in the morning light. A layer of golden mist flew out under the shining light.She didn't see Ji Zheng's face, but she could see a coldness from Ji Zheng.

She felt that she was thinking too much, because Ji Zheng quickly turned around and smiled softly at her: "Really? Thank you for your hard work."

She felt that she didn't care too much, because she saw Ji Zhengwei's deep and beautiful eyebrows, although they were as gentle and calm as usual, but they seemed to be calm after madness.

Ji Zheng took the white coat from her hand, changed the suit jacket on his body, buttoned it up and asked, "Did you return that bracelet to Miss Qin?"

Xiao Jiang helped him hang the clothes on the coat rack behind the door, and said with a smile, "I've gone back. Miss Qin even invited me to have afternoon tea. We chatted for a long time."

Ji Zheng asked unintentionally: "What did you talk about?"

Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "It's not a topic that you men are interested in." She didn't say it clearly, but her next sentence exposed the topic of her chat with Qin Jing: "Miss Qin said that my new hairstyle is very beautiful and suits me very well."

Xiao Jiang touched the end of her hair hanging on her chest, and said happily: "I told her, Dr. Ji said that I look like Olivia now. She also thinks it is very similar."

The chatting in the morning passed quickly. Ji Zheng changed his clothes and went upstairs for a meeting. Two hours later, the meeting was over. Ji Zheng went back to the office and walked to the window. Looking down again, the parking space where the black car had parked At this time, a blue off-road vehicle was parked, and the black car was gone.

Ji Zheng searched for the black car as far as he could, but he couldn't find it.He turned back and walked to the door, changed his white coat, took the elevator downstairs without saying hello to Xiao Jiang or anyone else.Driving on the highway, he hesitated for a moment between the two places he wanted to go, and chose the road leading to Jinshi Storage Park in the northern suburbs.

The mountains and forests during the day are much more beautiful than at night. This time, he didn't need to abandon the car far away, and drove all the way to the top of the mountain.There was a wind on the mountain, and the leaves of the jungle blown by the mountain wind rustled like it was raining.Ji Zheng shuttled among the green trees in the clear sky, peeled off clusters of branches and leaves in front of him, bypassed the intertwined roots on the ground, and relied on his good memory and sense of direction to find the dove tree hidden in the dense forest Tree.

This time, he saw a piece of turned soil under the Davidia involucrata tree, which was rectangular in shape, like a coffin.

Standing under the tree, Ji Zheng raised his head and glanced at the Davidia involucrata tree, and glanced at the lush green vitality. This graceful vitality is like the sunlight filtering through the forest leaves, dazzling and dazzling.He squatted down, and gently pressed the palm of his right hand on the refurbished soft soil. The palm touched the moisture and warmth of the soil, as well as the coldness of the corpse under the layers of soil.

He turned his head and looked at another deep part of the dense forest, where Yang Shu was buried before, and realized that he could do nothing. He was just a witness to history, not a creator of history.

He drove back from the surrounding mountains, and his thoughts stayed in the forest. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had parked the car outside Wu Zheng's rented studio.He has already been to the forest and saw the corpse pit under the Davidia involucrata tree, so there is no need to come to this studio, because Wu Zheng's body has been carried out of this studio by someone and buried under the Davidia involucrata tree .

Even so, Ji Zheng got out of the car and walked towards the studio with the door closed.

The lock that was broken by him was hung on the door and closed again. It seemed that it had never been broken. This time, he only needed to hold the lock and pull it down slightly, and the lock opened.He walked in, his eyes were clean and tidy, the smell of blood had disappeared, the black satchel on the ground had disappeared, all traces had disappeared, and the pool of blood on the floor of the inner room had also disappeared.

Ji Zheng stood at the door, as if standing in an empty space, with nothing around him, he could only smell the clear green grass smell on his trouser legs and cuffs.He stood in this studio for a while, and when he turned and walked out, he caught a glimpse of a business card thrown under the door frame.He picked up the business card and saw that it was a jewelry store.

In the afternoon, it rained suddenly, and the clear sky suddenly turned overcast, and the whole city was shrouded in gray mist.

The door of a framed shop was pushed open, and Ren Erdong held a framed painting wrapped in oil paper in his arm. He stood at the door and looked out, then rushed into the rain curtain with his head bowed and his neck shrunk. Xiao ran got into the silver off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Sitting in the co-pilot drinking milk tea, Lang Xixi saw that Ren Erdong's hair was covered with drops of water, and his shoulders were also wet, and said with a smile: "Brother Dadong, I told you to bring my umbrella .”

"Who knew it would come down in such a short time."

Ren Erdong wiped off the rain on his face, drove back to the police compound, did not share an umbrella with Lang Xixi, and ran into the office building in the rain.

Lang Xixi opened the umbrella first, then got out of the car unhurriedly, closed the car door and was about to enter the building, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure at the gate of the police station, the man was standing under the tree, Her hair and clothes were already wet from the rain, and she was looking down at her phone.

Lang Xixi borrowed from the security room, trotted over holding an umbrella, and said with a smile, "Doctor Ji?"

Ji Zheng raised his head, saw that it was her, put down his phone and said with a smile: "Officer Lang."

Lang Xixi was not used to being called a police officer, so she quickly waved her hands a few times and asked, "Why are you standing here?"

Because Ji Zheng's glasses were stained with water mist, he took them off and put them in his breast pocket. At this time, he took them out of his pocket, wiped the wet lenses with a paper towel, and smiled silently.

Lang Xixi blinked and understood: "Oh, are you here to find Team Xia? He's inside, follow me in."

Ji Zheng put on his glasses and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

Ji Zheng took the umbrella from her, shared an umbrella with her, and entered the police compound from the security room. When he passed the compound, he saw a car from the procuratorate, so he stopped in front of the office building and said: " I'll wait here, don't go in."

Lang Xixi also looked at the procuratorate's car, and said, "Okay then, I'll use this umbrella for you. I'll go up and tell Captain Xia that you'll wait for him below."

Ji Zheng said: "Don't tell him, I'm not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if I wait a while."

Lang Xixi entered the building, Ji Zheng walked down the steps with an umbrella, stood in the yard and looked around, and saw Xia Bingyang's silver off-road vehicle in a row of police cars to the west.He walked towards the off-road vehicle and tried to pull the door, but it couldn't be opened, so he had to stand by the front of the car with an umbrella and wait.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw figures swaying inside the glass door of the lobby above dozens of steps in the office building. There were seven or eight people.The leader is Xia Bingyang. Xia Bingyang is wearing a black shirt with an uneven neckline. Most of the silver ball chain hanging around his neck is exposed, and a jacket is draped over his left shoulder.

Ji Zheng couldn't hear what he was talking about, only saw him frowning, talking non-stop, and occasionally pointing back with his right hand holding the cigarette, it looked like he was assigning tasks or reprimanding his subordinates .Ji Zheng looked at him for a while, then looked away from Xia Bingyang, and looked at the woman in the prosecutor's uniform walking beside Xia Bingyang, who was Tang Ying whom he had met once in Xia Bingyang's office.Compared to Xia Bingyang, Tang Ying was the first to see Ji Zheng.Tang Ying put her hands in her pockets, her figure was dashing, her cold eyes met Ji Zheng's through a glass door.

Ji Zheng looked at her, for some reason, he saw a cold and slightly hostile look in her eyes.
