soldiers in front

On the way Xia Bingyang took Qiao Qi back to the police station, Qiao Qi lowered her head, speechless for a long time.

Xia Bingyang focused on driving while looking at the road ahead, and didn't rush to ask her. He didn't ask her lightly until he stopped the car at the red light and waited for the passing traffic, "Do you want to say something?"

Qiao Qi glanced at him slightly, Xia Bingyang put on her sunglasses again, so she couldn't see his face, only his straight nose bridge and thin lips, which made her feel unknown and bewildered of fear.

"It is none of my business."

she says.

The corner of Xia Bingyang's lips curled up, and he smiled slightly: "What else? What's your relationship with Ai Lu?"

Qiao Qi's slightly hoarse voice no longer reveals the seductive sexiness that Xia Bingyang is familiar with, but it is like changing her voice. Although it is not clear, it is full of girlish agility.She washed off the heavy makeup on her face, revealing a refreshing and beautiful face, with her pointed chin and flying corners of her eyes still beautiful.

She said, "I could tell you, but you—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Bingyang's cell phone rang, he raised his hand to interrupt Qiao Qi's words, and connected the call.Since there was a second person in the car, he said seriously, "Hello?"

On the other side, Ji Zheng was sitting on the bench beside the corridor of the hospital. When he heard his voice, he immediately realized that it was not convenient for him to chat, so he asked, "Is it convenient to talk?"

Ji Zheng's voice has a strange magic power for Xia Bingyang, it can easily dissolve the ice-like corner of his heart, making him relax a lot in an instant.His tone unconsciously slowed down: "It's convenient, you say."

Ji Zheng closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Sun Ji is dead."

Xia Bingyang immediately looked at his watch and saw that the pointer pointed to 46:[-], which was about to coincide with the time Sun Ji left on the death report.

Not only that, he noticed something wrong with Ji Zheng's tone, full of irresolvable melancholy.Xia Bingyang was flustered suddenly, but Qiao Qi was sitting next to him. He didn't want to tell the second person Ji Zheng's name, so he omitted Ji Zheng's name and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Zheng raised his eyes and stared at the snow-white wall opposite the aisle, stunned, his heart was shaken like the surface of water wrinkled by the wind.

It's not that Xia Bingyang never called him 'brother', but that kind of situation was very rare, it only happened when Xia Bingyang asked him for something or acted like a baby to him when he was a boy.The two times that Ji Zheng kept firmly in his mind were that Xia Bingyang did not want to participate in the tree planting work arranged by the school and begged him to pretend to be an adult to call the class teacher for sick leave, and the other time was when Xia Bingyang accidentally broke a valuable statue in his bedroom. Crystal products, acted like a baby to him and begged his forgiveness.

Hearing Xia Bingyang affectionately call him 'Brother' again after many years, Ji Zheng felt a sense of alienation in his heart, he was at a loss for a while, and then said: "It's okay, I—"

Suddenly, he didn't want to tell Xia Bingyang the truth about the cause of Sun Ji's death, because Xia Bingyang asked him to look for Sun Ji as the cause of the accident. If Xia Bingyang knew that he was also a creator of history, he might feel the same way fear and guilt.

This feeling is not pleasant, so there is no need for Xia Bingyang to experience it.

Ji Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I asked, the boy's whereabouts."

Xia Bingyang calmed down instantly when he heard the words, he faintly resisted hearing the truth, but wanted to know urgently: "Who is he?"

Ji Zheng said: "Qin Ping's daughter, Qin Lisi."

The vehicle in front stopped in front of the zebra crossing in order to avoid pedestrians.Xia Bingyang didn't seem to notice, and kept driving forward at a constant speed, until the front of the car was about to collide with the car in front, and Qiao Qi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, let out a low cry, and then he swung to the right suddenly. Press and hold the brakes.

Perhaps it was because the air conditioner in the carriage was turned on too much, Xia Bingyang dripped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead, and his voice was deep and cold: "Is the abducted boy the same person as the missing Qin Lisi?"

Ji Zheng said: "Yes, Sun Ji made her dumb, cut her hair, and sold her to Shi Guangkun disguised as a boy." He paused, his tone a little unbearable: "Maybe it's because Shi Guangkun discovered her true gender, so to get rid of her."

This is later, Xia Bingyang most wants to find out the reason behind Qin Lisi's disappearance: "Who abducted and sold Qin Lisi?"

"A middleman named Zhai Wengang is also from Bailu Town. Sun Ji said that he found Qin Lisi who was sent to the shore by the waves at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Changling Mountain. She was dying at that time."

Zhai Wengang?Xia Bingyang felt that the name was a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard or seen it, so he had to bypass this question first and asked suspiciously: "Changling Mountain?"

Ji Zheng said: "Yes, Changling Mountain."

Xia Bingyang can think of the series of questions brought out by Changling Mountain without Ji Zheng's reminder, and he is more clear in his heart than Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng knew that he needed time to go through such contradictory and complicated information: "You are busy first, and then contact me if you have something to do."

During the rest of the journey, Xia Bingyang remained silent.

He didn't expect Qin Lisi to be the missing mute boy, but when he heard the news from Ji Zheng, he was not very surprised, he was just surprised that Qin Lisi was dead, and Qin Lisi The murderers of Si’s death were not actually Shi Guangkun and Ma Jinyang, who were devoid of humanity. Looking back, an unknown story that happened before Qin Lisi lay dying by the river was the source of her death.

Xia Bingyang has studied the files of Qin Lisi's disappearance many times, and can recite almost every sentence in the file. He clearly remembers that the police asked the school janitor immediately after Qin Lisi disappeared. Seeing the four children who went up the mountain come down the mountain, none of them was left behind.That being the case, why did Qin Lisi appear dying at the seaside at the foot of the mountain?

Are the janitors lying?No, the janitor who was over [-] years old lived in widowhood for many years, and made a living as a warehouse guard before entering Bailu Town Middle School. When Qin Lisi had an accident, it was only his fifth day at work.He had nothing to do with the five children. He couldn't even name the five children when he was questioned by the police, but he said conclusively that he saw the five children descending the mountain with his own eyes.Xia Bingyang did not easily doubt the authenticity of the old school worker's confession. Since the police had no reason to doubt the school worker back then, he now has no reason to question the police's investigation results.Let's continue to believe the janitor's statement, the five children who went up the mountain all went down the mountain.

When he separated all the clues, he found that there were only two questions, and all the truth was hidden in these two questions; one, did Qin Lisi have an accident before going down the mountain, or after going down the mountain?Second, why did Qin Lisi appear alone at the foot of Changling Mountain?

Breaking through all the evidence chains found so far with doubts, Xia Bingyang suddenly had a feeling of breaking through the shackles and suddenly became clear. A bold guess appeared in his mind, so bold that it made him feel chills; 'Dead' before going down the mountain——

Li Zhiming was not treated as well as Lou Yue. Like Lou Yue, he could go home to catch up on sleep after returning from a business trip. He and his colleagues had just sent Ma Jinyang to the detention center when they received a call from Ren Erdong. Ren Erdong Tell him to go back to work quickly to help, Xia Bingyang brought back two suspects at once.He didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried all the way back to the police station compound. As soon as he parked the car, he saw Xia Bingyang's off-road vehicle driving in and parked sharply in the middle of the compound.He rushed over to open the door, thinking that the suspect brought back by Xia Bingyang was a black-faced villain, but he didn't expect a young girl in school uniform to get off from the co-pilot.

He wanted to grab the suspect's arm and press into the office building, but at this moment, facing Qiao Qi, he didn't know where to start, so he said to Xia Bingyang: "Captain Xia, I'll help you park the car."

Xia Bingyang threw the car keys to him, grabbed Qiao Qi's arm and asked before leading her into the police building, "Has Ren Erdong come back?"

"I'm back, Brother Dadong is in the office, and I brought back one—"

He just officially participated in another case that the team is investigating today. He didn't know how Ren Erdong and Xia Bingyang arrested people. The student' swallowed back.

He led Qiao Qi into the building, Qiao Qi kept twisting the arm held by him, and whispered: "You let me go, it hurts, it hurts!"

Xia Bingyang tried to let go, but as soon as she let go, Qiao Qi turned around and wanted to run. He grabbed Qiao Qi's wrist and pulled her back. He should put his arms around her shoulders. eyes.

Qiao Qi was taken to the office on the fifth floor by him. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a girl sitting at a long table with her back facing her. She recognized the girl at a glance and rushed towards the girl angrily, shouting: " Ai Lu, do you want to kill me!"

Xia Bingyang closed the door and gave Ren Erdong a look. Ren Erdong pulled Qiao Qi away, stared at her face for a long time before he recognized her, then sneered angrily and helplessly: "Beauty, Who are you today?"

Qiao Qi felt guilty when she entered the Public Security Bureau. Just now, she wanted to escape Xia Bingyang in every possible way on the road. Now that she entered the Public Security Bureau, she only trusted Xia Bingyang. She threw off Ren Erdong's hand and chased after Xia Bingyang's back. Her tone softened immediately. : "Officer Xia, let me tell you the truth, I—"

Xia Bingyang was leaning on the back of Lang Xixi's chair and bending over to look at the information that Lang Xixi had transferred from the computer. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her walking over, raised her head and gave her a 'shh', then pointed to the conference table: "Find a place by yourself sit."

Lang Xixi looked at the girl student in front of her who was just an adult, but had a proud figure and a bright appearance. She cleared her throat deliberately and said, "Sit down and wait, Officer Xia doesn't have time right now."

Xia Bingyang stretched out his index finger to touch the top of Lang Xixi's head, and pushed her upturned head down again: "Hurry up and do your work."

Lang Xixi quickly printed out the materials he needed and handed them to him. Instead of getting up and leaving as usual, she sat in her seat and prepared to listen in. She glanced at Qiao Qi from time to time, because she had clearly seen that Qiao Qi was Xia Bingyang came in with his arms.

Xia Bingyang sat in the middle of the other side of the long table with the information, first flipped through the information roughly, and then threw a drawing with the account home page on the table first, looked up and glanced at Ai Lu and Qiao Qi: "This Whose account is it?"

Qiao Qi, who was still in a panic, moved the chair to his side as if looking for support: "This is Ai Lu asking me—"

Xia Bingyang raised his hand to interrupt her, kept looking at Ai Lu who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Ai Lu, answer me."

When Ai Lu was taken away by Ren Erdong, she was swimming with her friends in the swimming pool. She didn't even have time to blow her hair, so she just changed her swimsuit and was taken away by Ren Erdong.Her hair was black and thick, waist-length, and the water stains in her hair quickly soaked through her thin white T-shirt, so she wrapped a towel over her body to prevent it from getting naked.

She kept her head slightly lowered all the time, her eyes and eyebrows were calm, and her expression didn't change when Xia Bingyang asked her by name, and her posture was unexpectedly a little leisurely.

She said, "That's Qiao Qi's account."

Looking at her, Xia Bingyang suddenly felt that the girl in front of her was very strange.Ai Lu in the hospital would show weakness after being exposed by him, would beg for mercy, and beg him to give her another chance, but now Ai Lu sitting in front of him seems to have calmed down a lot, calmed down a lot, and is also unpredictable Not a lot.

Facing such a calm Ai Lu, Xia Bingyang felt unfamiliar, but at the same time felt that this was Ai Lu herself. The timid and weak Ai Lu before was just her disguise, a mask she put on to win the trust of others.At this time, what does it mean that Ai Lu took off her mask?She didn't prepare for the next layer of lies, so she didn't need to continue to pretend to win the trust of others?

Hearing this sentence, Qiao Qi stared at Ai Lu bitterly, then turned to Xia Bingyang and said, "Officer Xia, I didn't want to lie to you, it was all Ai Lu—"

Xia Bingyang said: "I'll talk about your matter later, I'm asking Ai Lu now." After speaking, he looked at Ai Lu and asked again: "How did you get Qiao Qi's account?"

Ai Lu brushed the wet long hair on her chest, lifted a corner of the towel and gently wiped a strand of hair, and said softly: "I saw her at the Bellagio the other day, and she was drinking with an old man at that time. I knew she was doing compensated|dating. Later... I borrowed this account from her."

Qiao Qi said: "You are not borrowing, you are threatening!"

Xia Bingyang slightly frowned and glanced at Qiao Qi, who pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Xia Bingyang then asked: "Since the account is not yours, are you and Yu Bingjie still dating girls?"

Ai Lu lowered her eyes and sneered lightly, and said, "No."

Xia Bingyang saw that her smile was full of disdain, and said: "Then why did you say that Qiao Qi's account is Yu Bingjie's, and also lied that Yu Bingjie is doing compensatory dating?"

Ai Lu stopped talking, and the movements of wiping her hair gradually increased.

Xia Bingyang waited for a while, and seeing that she kept silent, he said, "Don't you want to say it? Then I will help you. Because if you don't lie, you can't explain why you and Yu Bingjie went to Bellagio. You lied that Yu Bingjie was in For aid|dating, Liu Changran is responsible for introducing customers to Yu Bingjie, and you and Yu Bingjie went to the Bellagio to 'do business'. It will be self-defeating, and the person waiting for you and Yu Bingjie in room 304 and opening the door for you will not be Yu Bingjie's guest as you said." Xia Bingyang smiled dispensably: "I miss you You shouldn’t think so much, you lied that Yu Bingjie was a compensatory girl, and you used Qiao Qi’s personal account to provide credible evidence for your words, just to convince us that you didn’t even know who killed Yu Bingjie The name of the guest. So you should lie to hide the identity of the murderer."

He stopped, took a sip of the cold tea from the tea cup soaked in Lapsang Souchong, then looked at Ai Lu and said with a smile, "Am I right? Classmate Ai Lu."

Ailu's skin was as white as snow, but against the backdrop of wet black hair, she was wrapped in a snow-white towel, like a snow doll hidden in a snowdrift, with a clean and noble temperament all over her body.She was still rubbing the ends of her hair with a towel, as if she was listening to Xia Bingyang telling other people's stories indifferently, but Xia Bingyang caught her wet and white fingertips trembling slightly.

Xia Bingyang stood up, walked around the table in front of her, and sat on the edge of the table, very close to her, so close that his shadow fell on Ai Lu, like the night covering the snow field.

"Who is the murderer?"

He asked Elle.

All of a sudden, Ai Lu let out a long sigh, and stopped her hands as if she was tired, but her eyes were filled with the cold light that diffused over the ground in the snowy night, she did not answer Xia Bingyang's question, but said: "I hate he."

Xia Bingyang stretched his hands behind him and gestured to Lang Xixi, signaling her to turn on the video camera in the corner, and then asked, "Who do you hate?"

There was no trace of hatred in Ai Lu's tone, but her eyes were very powerful, and she said, "Liu Changran."

Xia Bingyang supported the table with his hands, bent down to look at her, and whispered as if to seduce her: "Why do you hate him?"

The corners of Ai Lu's eyes suddenly twitched so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch, then she turned her head to avoid Xia Bingyang's gaze, and kept silent.

Xia Bingyang smiled and said, "Don't want to say? Then let me guess, um...is it related to Wang Yao?"

Ai Lu's eyefolds trembled, as if she wanted to turn her head to look at Xia Bingyang, but she only turned her face back a little.

Xia Bingyang said: "The person who killed Wang Yao was not Qin Ping, right?"

Ai Lu said, "Why do you ask me?"

Xia Bingyang smiled, but his voice suddenly sank: "Because you are an accomplice."

Ai Lu frowned suddenly, and finally looked back at Xia Bingyang, as if eager to say something to him, but only said: "I am not."

Xia Bingyang said: "Aren't you? I have evidence to prove that Wang Yao died before Qin Ping entered the building materials room. Qin Ping fell into the trap carefully set up by the murderer and became a murderer who had been pursued for six years. This trap What is it? It is simple and simple, and it is complicated and complicated. It is to create a witness. This person should have a certain degree of authority. As an experienced teacher, Xi Xue is a very good candidate. Therefore, the murderer needs What they did was to let Xi Xue see Qin Ping walk out of the murder scene at the exact time after Qin Ping fell into the trap. In this way, Xi Xue became a witness. Xi Xue was able to accidentally and accurately witness Witnessing Qin Ping going in and out of the murder scene? I think it's too much, so the murder needs an assistant, this person is responsible for guiding Xi Xue to appear at the exact location at the exact time."

He slowly bent down to approach Ai Lu, and said in front of her, "For example, she can say to Xi Xue, 'Teacher, what was the sound just now? Let's go out and have a look'."

Ai Lu wanted to hide back, but there was a chair behind her, so she couldn't dodge, so she could only face Xia Bingyang, her eyes flickering fiercely: "This is Liu Changran's purpose, he has been threatening me with this matter all along , intimidate me, control me!"

Xia Bingyang raised his brows, and then wrinkled deeper: "The person who killed Wang Yao was Liu Changran?"

Ailu seemed to realize that her emotions were a little out of control. She lowered her head and took a few breaths. When she raised her head again, her eyes were calmer, but there was water in her eyes. She smiled self-deprecatingly: "Let me hide it I still can't hide it, so why bother?" She didn't expect anyone to answer her question, and then said: "Yes, the person who killed Wang Yao was Liu Changran, I always knew that Yu Bingjie I also know, but we don’t say anything because we are Liu Changran’s accomplices. At least Liu Changran told us so.” She sneered: “I only found out that I became Liu Changran’s accomplice after Wang Yao’s death. "

"You don't know Liu Changran's murder plan?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't know. On the day Wang Yao died, Liu Changran did look for me, but he didn't tell me anything. He only told me that around 06:30 Teacher Xi and I would hear the flowers. The sound of pots being broken and the door being closed. He told me that when Teacher Xi and I heard the sound of flower pots being broken, I had to hold Teacher Xi and prevent Teacher Xi from leaving the office. Wait until we heard When I heard the sound of the door being closed, I had to ask Mr. Xi to leave the office and walk into the corridor. I didn't know what he wanted to do at the time, so I just did as he said. When Mr. Xi and I walked out of the office, we saw Qin Ping from the building materials I came out of the room, and Wang Yao was lying on the window sill with her head covered in blood, only then did I know what Liu Changran did with me..."

Ai Lu clenched her fists tightly, her thin bones creaking: "Kill... He actually used me to kill... That person is still Wang Yao."

The tear that had been hanging in the corner of Ai Lu's eyes finally fell, but was quickly wiped away by her.

Xia Bingyang took out a pack of tissues from his pants pocket and put it in front of her. After her mood seemed to ease a little, he asked, "Why did Liu Changran kill Wang Yao?"

Ai Lu didn't use his tissue because she only shed one tear: "Because Wang Yao couldn't take it anymore, she wanted to tell the truth."

At this point in the conversation, Xia Bingyang had an intuition that the truth about Qin Lisi's disappearance might be about to be revealed.

But Ai Lu didn't continue talking, just said: "I'm sorry, I can't say it either."

Xia Bingyang looked at her cold face in silence for a long time, then suddenly said: "You killed Qin Lisi, right?"

Ai Lu seemed to be blindfolded, stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Bingyang and took a slow breath of air: "No, I didn't."

Xia Bingyang's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Perhaps you all thought that Qin Lisi was dead, but Qin Lisi was not dead. She was found at the foot of the mountain and temporarily recovered her life, but she lost her life soon , because she was killed by traffickers."

Ai Lu seemed to be listening to a bizarre and absurd story, with the deepest surprise on her face: "Why, how come?"

"Are you surprised? Why are you surprised, surprised that Qin Lisi didn't die in your hands? Or surprised that Qin Lisi died in the hands of traffickers?"

Ai Lu suddenly lost control and stood up from the chair, shouting: "We didn't harm her! It was Liu Changran! It was Liu Changran who threw her hat into the cave and let her go in to pick it up. She went into the cave to pick it up." The hat, when it came out, the hole suddenly collapsed, and when we pulled her out, she was not breathing!"

Xia Bingyang looked at her like ice, and said without any ups and downs in his tone: "And then?"

Ai Lu seemed to be drained of all her strength in an instant, she slumped down on the chair, her eyes were blank: "Wang Yao and I wanted to take Qin Lisi down the mountain and send her to the hospital. But Liu Changran said she was dead , if we take her down the mountain, we will be responsible for her, and neither our parents nor Qin Lisi's parents will let us go. I am very scared and don't know what to do, Wang Yao insists on sending Qin Lisi We went to the hospital, but Yu Bingjie helped Liu Changran persuade us. Yu Bingjie liked Liu Changran, and she would do whatever Liu Changran said. Later, Wang Yao and I were persuaded by them. We originally wanted to go down the mountain as four, but Liu Changran said that we must Take Qin Lisi down, otherwise Qin Lisi's body is found, and we will be suspected as well. So—"

She seemed exhausted and could not continue.

Xia Bingyang picked up her words and continued: "So Liu Changran carried Qin Lisi's 'corpse' on his back, the five of you returned the same way, and deliberately woke up the school staff when you passed the back door of the school, so that the school staff could see you five with their own eyes. return."

"......Yes."

"Why did Qin Lisi appear at the seaside at the foot of the mountain later?"

"I don't know, Liu Changran said that he would deal with Qin Lisi's body, just let us keep it a secret."

It seems that Liu Changran's way of dealing with the 'corpse' is to throw Qin Lisi into the sea. Perhaps his purpose is to let Qin Lisi die in the seabed, or to create the illusion that Qin Lisi drowned.In short, he succeeded, although his success borrowed the strength of others.

Qin Lisi's 'corpse' did disappear without a trace.

Ai Lu covered her face and sobbed softly: "I didn't know that Qin Lisi was still alive at that time, neither of us knew."

After unlocking the secret of Qin Lisi's death, another layer of fog shrouded Xia Bingyang. Although this layer of fog had gradually thinned, the executioner could be vaguely seen behind the fog.

"Who opened the door for you in room 304 and killed Yu Bingjie?"

Finally, he asked the riddle that led to all the answers.

Ai Lu hugged her knees, and slowly raised her head from her legs, her eyes were clear and far away, as if she saw a far away place.

Xia Bingyang heard her whisper, "It's Zhai Xiaofeng."
