soldiers in front

As soon as Ji Zheng walked into the lobby of the unit building, the security guard poked his head out of the security room and shouted at him: "Doctor Ji, something happened to your family!"

Ji Zheng's footsteps stopped, and then he walked into the elevator quickly, and when he reached the seventeenth floor, he heard some changes in the corridor that was always calm in the past as soon as he got out of the elevator.A few people stood scattered in the nearby corridor, and a few doors were opened on both sides of the corridor in the distance, and someone looked here from the door frame.

As soon as Ji Zheng appeared, the corridor where Ben was whispering suddenly became noisy.

"Doctor Ji, your little girl is too outrageous—"

"How old is this auntie, kicking and kicking people—"

"It's too uneducated, you don't care about—"

"Huh? Dr. Ji, isn't she your daughter?"

Ji Zheng ignored everyone, and with a stiff smile on his face, he walked towards Aunt Wu who was surrounded by two people by the wall.

Aunt Wu sat on the ground against the wall, clutching her left ankle in pain, and when she saw Ji Zheng, she hurriedly said, "Doctor Ji, Xiao Qu ran out just now!"

Hearing this, Ji Zheng glanced in the direction of the elevator, then calmly looked at the ankle covered by Aunt Wu: "Did you twist your ankle?"

"I'm fine, hurry up and find Xiao Que, she is... very dangerous now!"

Ji Zheng patted the back of her hand to appease her, then stood up and handed the car keys to a familiar neighbor, saying: "Lawyer Zhu, my car is parked on the first floor, please take Aunt Wu to the hospital. I'll give it back to you."

Lawyer Zhu pushed back his car keys in a very reasonable way, and said, "I'm going to drive my own car, you should hurry up and find that little girl, she ran out like crazy just now, don't let anything happen again."

Ji Zheng thanked him, then quickly turned back to the elevator room, and Min Chengzhou's phone call had already been broadcast on the way.

It's late at night, and Min Chengzhou is washing dishes at home, when he received a call from Ji Zheng, he took the lead and said, "I said, why don't you go to me for a record, don't let me send a police car to pick you up—"

The elevator door opened, and Ji Zheng walked out of the elevator quickly, his face was calm, but his voice was a little anxious: "Chengzhou, do me a favor."

The time Bian Xiaoqu left the community was 10 to [-] minutes ago. The camera in the lobby of the public area only captured her running out of the unit building, and she has not been seen since then.Ji Zheng kept calling her, but no one answered the phone.The night is getting thicker and the pedestrians are getting less and less, but the traffic is constant.Ji Zheng couldn't imagine that Bian Xiaoqu, who was out of control, would take one of these smoky vehicles and get lost in the endless urban forest.

Min Chengzhou quickly mobilized a group of people to look for Bian Xiaoqu, started to check the video of the community where Ji Zheng lived, and found that Bian Xiaoqu took a taxi after leaving the community.Min Chengzhou found the taxi driver again, but the taxi driver took the guests to another city, and he didn't have a deep memory of the girl described by the police.He only said that there were already passengers in the car when the girl got on the bus, and when she was asked where she was going, she had no destination, and only talked about the front.Later, when the girl got off the bus, she found that she had no money on her body, and the passengers who carpooled with her paid the fare for her.The driver goes around many places every day, and he doesn't remember where the girl got off, but he only remembers at Nanhuan Fourth Road.

Nanhuan [-]th Road is a commercial street, and it is very difficult to find a taxi amidst rows of high-rise buildings, and the driver does not remember the exact place where Bian Xiaoqu got off, so Min Chengzhou changed the direction of the search and paid the fare for Bian Xiaoqu of passengers.

Fortunately, the driver remembered the place where the passenger got off the bus. According to the driver, when he was looking for the passenger's change because he couldn't find it, the passenger simply refused to let him look for it.So the driver had a deep impression of him, remembering that he got off in front of the office building in Block B, Haotai Plaza, Nanhuan Fourth Road.

When Min Chengzhou got the news, he immediately called out the road monitoring and the office camera of the office building in Block B, and finally found the target taxi at [-]:[-] in the morning.

Sitting in Min Chengzhou's police car, Ji Zheng listened to Min Chengzhou's contact with police officers from all sides, and rushed to Haotai Plaza where the passenger got off together with Min Chengzhou.A police car was parked in the parking lot in front of the office building amidst the heavy street fire. Ji Zheng got out of the car and looked up at the majestic and tall office building in front of him.In the middle of the night, nearly half of the windows in the office building are lit.The disembarked passenger they were looking for might be inside, but finding him would not be easy.The internal monitoring of the office building has been turned off, and only the external monitoring at the lobby and the exit remains.So the last clue Min Chengzhou found was the scene when the passenger entered the office building. As for where he went after entering the office building, there is no way to know.

Min Chengzhou got off the station and stood next to Ji Zheng, put his left hand on Ji Zheng's shoulder in a comforting manner, and continued to contact the technicians of the police station: "We have arrived, have you found any clear photos of the passengers? The side view is also fine, send them quickly. "

One minute later, Min Chengzhou received a photo. When he opened the photo, his expression changed immediately, and he put the phone in front of Ji Zheng hesitantly: "Look who this is."

Ji Zheng looked down at his mobile phone with his glasses on, and saw the silhouette of a man in a formal suit. In the photo, the man was talking on the phone and walking towards the office building. The outline of his face was still clear.

Min Chengzhou observed his expression: "Is this Su Xingye?"

Even if there is only one side face, even if he hasn't seen him for many years, Ji Zheng can still recognize the person in the photo as Su Xingye.

"Correct."

Ji Zheng admitted it very simply, and then asked Min Chengzhou: "Can I find out his contact information?"

This time the technician quickly sent Su Xingye's information to Min Chengzhou's mobile phone, and Min Chengzhou remembered that the Junming Law Firm where Su Xingye worked was in the office building in Block B.He tried to call Su Xingye, but no one answered the phone.

Ji Zheng looked at his watch, with a gradually anxious look hidden under his deep face, and said: "There is no time, let's go in and look for him, he may still be in the building."

Junming Office is on the [-]th floor of the office building. Only one elevator was still running at night. Ji Zheng and Min Chengzhou took the elevator to the [-]th floor. There were lights on in the corridor. The 'signboard welcome lobby.Unlike in the corridor, most of the lights in the law firm were dimmed, and the lobby was unattended. Only the two offices at the edge of the office area were illuminated.A female employee who was working overtime was picking up coffee in the lobby with a cup. When she turned around, she saw Ji Zheng and Min Chengzhou barging in. She was startled: "You guys, what are you doing?"

When Min Chengzhou was about to show his documents, Ji Zheng asked him one step ahead: "Does Lawyer Su Xingye work here?"

"Are you looking for lawyer Su? He's in the office."

The female clerk pointed to an office with lights on.

Ji Zheng walked through the cubicle office area, walked to the office door with the door ajar, and knocked on the door, and an elderly man inside said repeatedly: "Come in, come in, come in!"

Min Chengzhou suddenly blocked Ji Zheng behind him, turned to him and said, "It's so embarrassing for you two to meet, I'll go in and ask you, don't show up."

After speaking, he pushed open the office door.

Su Xingye and two colleagues were preparing a defense plan for tomorrow's court appearance. The office was filled with smoke, and the air was filled with a strong smell of bitter coffee.The three of them sat on the sofa in the reception area in a zigzag shape. Su Xingye was facing the door, flipping through the documents in his hand with a tired face. When he saw Min Chengzhou who pushed the door in, he thought he was hallucinating because he was too sleepy up.

Min Chengzhou said heartily, "Hey, Lawyer Su."

Su Xingye stared at him twice, and asked in surprise, "Officer Min?"

Min Chengzhou walked over to shake hands with him, and said with a smile: "Time is running out, so I won't talk nonsense, just look at this girl."

Min Chengzhou found Bian Xiaoqu's photo and showed him: "We found out that she took the same taxi with you at one o'clock in the morning, and you paid the fare for her. Do you have any impression?"

Min Chengzhou came suddenly, and the intention of coming was even more sudden.Su Xingye cheered up and looked at the photos in his mobile phone for a moment to identify them, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see whether he had any impression of Bian Xiaoqu.

"Who is this?"

he asks.

Min Chengzhou was about to prevaricate him when he heard the office door was pushed open again, followed by Ji Zheng's warm and deep voice: "It's my niece."

Seeing Ji Zheng, Su Xingye was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly from the sofa, and rolled down the sleeves of his shirt that reached his elbows, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Ji Zheng walked over, stretched out his hand towards him, and said politely and distantly: "Long time no see."

Su Xingye shook hands with him after a while, then sat back on the sofa, stopped looking at Ji Zheng, and pointed to a single sofa diagonally opposite: "Sit down, please sit down."

Although Ji Zheng was impatient, when he came to a field that did not belong to him, he sat down on the sofa casually, and showed Su Xingye the photo that Min Chengzhou found out again: "Do you still have any impression of her?"

Su Xingye quickly adjusted his state. At this time, there was no confusion at all. He glanced at the photo of Xiao Qu next to him, and said, "There are some. Is her hair blue?"

"Yes, do you remember where she got off the taxi?"

Su Xingye nodded and thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be near the Science and Technology Museum."

Min Chengzhou said: "The Science and Technology Museum has the east gate, northwest gate and main gate. Where does she get off near that gate?"

Su Xingye looked at him and smiled, "I was talking on the phone with my colleague at the time, so I didn't pay much attention, sorry."

Min Chengzhou frowned and looked at him, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

Ji Zheng looked at Su Xingye, and said warmly: "If you have time, can you go to the Science and Technology Museum with us?"

Su Xingye turned his head to look at Ji Zheng, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh?"

Ji Zheng said: "This girl has been missing for more than two hours. If we find her one minute later, she will be more dangerous. I hope you can help."

Su Xingye looked at Ji Zheng with special meaning, smiled slowly, and deliberately delayed for a while before saying: "No problem, I will walk with you."

Ji Zheng could see the vengeful pleasure in his eyes, and he also knew that Su Xingye was bitter about his previous avoidance, and even had some resentment.He could see it, but he didn't say it, let alone show it, he just said with a calm face, "Thank you."

When he came, Ji Zheng sat in Min Chengzhou's police car, and when he returned, he split up with Min Chengzhou and others, so he sat in Su Xingye's car.Min Chengzhou continued to check the monitoring near the Science and Technology Museum on Haibin Avenue, and drove Su Xingye to the Science and Technology Museum to identify the place where Bian Xiaoqu got off the car.

Su Xingye drove behind Min Chengzhou's police car. There were only him and Ji Zheng in the car. Ji Zheng wanted to sit in the back seat, but there were several boxes of liquor in gift boxes in the back seat, so he could only sit in the driver's seat.

There was a dim built-in light on the roof of the car. The scorched yellow light was very soft, and compared with the bright neon lights on the street, it had a completely different atmosphere.In order to find Bian Xiaoqu, Ji Zheng kept looking out of the window, and he didn't feel uncomfortable or embarrassed because he was alone with Su Xingye. He frankly seemed to have never had an intimate relationship with Su Xingye.

Su Xingye has been paying attention to him all the time. He thought that Ji Zheng would be somewhat uncomfortable just like him, but when he saw Ji Zheng's slightly anxious and focused expression, he realized that Ji Zheng hadn't bothered with him at all. Ji Zheng's magnanimity is almost ruthless.

Su Xingye drove the car silently, and when he approached the Science and Technology Museum, he smiled and asked, "Did you change your phone number?"

Ji Zheng still looked out of the window, paused and said: "Yes, because of work."

Su Xingye nodded, and smiled indifferently: "Oh, I thought you were hiding from me."

Ji Zheng smiled calmly and said, "How could that be?"

Su Xingye would not ask him why he didn't see him before, now that Ji Zheng paved the steps for him, he walked down the steps.He ended the topic in a measured manner, but suddenly laughed after a short silence.

In order not to make himself look too cold, Ji Zheng smiled at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xingye said: "I heard a rumor two days ago." He glanced at him as he spoke, "About you."

Ji Zheng already had a premonition in his heart, but he continued to cooperate with Su Xingye: "What rumors?"

Su Xingye couldn't help but pursed his lips and said, "I don't know where the rumors came from. Someone is rumoring that you are with the young owner of Qitai Group."

Ji Zhengyun was calm, but he chuckled dispensably: "Really."

Seeing that he didn't answer directly, Su Xingye didn't want him to cover it up like this, so he pointed it out and asked, "Is it a rumor?"

Ji Zheng said lightly: "Of course."

Su Xingye glanced at him, seeing that his expression was still open and almost heartless, he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's right, the person you like has always been your neighbor kid. He has grown up now, there are twenty gone?"

Hearing him mention Xia Bingyang, Ji Zheng frowned indistinctly, and said in a slightly lowered voice: "The Science and Technology Museum is here."

The Science and Technology Museum closes at eight o'clock, but the lights on the curtain wall of the building stay on all night, and the two twin buildings are still shining brightly at night.

Su Xingye got off the station and looked at the majestic Science and Technology Museum on the side of the street for a while, then pointed to the east entrance and said, "It should be there."

Min Chengzhou: "Should?"

"I remember that there was a cafe where she got off the car. I have been to the Science and Technology Museum many times. There is only a cafe near the entrance of the east gate."

Min Chengzhou took out his mobile phone to contact his subordinates, and a police car arrived quickly in the dark.

After all, it was not a regular police dispatch. Min Chengzhou only mobilized three men to look for a girl who had not yet met the conditions for filing a case.Including Ji Zheng and Su Xingye, there are six of them in total. Min Chengzhou said: "Two people, search the surrounding streets around the Science and Technology Museum, make sure that everyone's mobile phone is turned on at any time, and communicate with each other whenever they find something."

The detectives quickly divided into groups, and the remaining Ji Zheng and Su Xingye automatically formed a group.

Min Chengzhou deliberately let Ji Zheng and Su Xingye separate, because he knew that Ji Zheng had no idea about Su Xingye, but Su Xingye seemed not.He saw that Ji Zheng was about to speak, Ji Zheng glanced at his watch with his eyebrows pressed, and said first: "Look for it separately, hurry up."

Min Chengzhou could only swallow his words back, and the group of people quickly separated, like fishes diving into the sea.

Min Chengzhou kept in touch with the technicians, and the technicians did find Bian Xiaoqu on the public camera near the east gate, but Bian Xiaoqu quickly entered the blind spot of monitoring and disappeared since then.The carpet-like search lasted for three hours. Ji Zheng and Su Xingye found the suburbs from the Science and Technology Museum along the Haibin Avenue, from the bright street fires to the night receding, and the misty sky quietly rising from the other side of the city.

"Ji Zheng, the person has been found, in the bamboo forest of Noah Park!"

The bamboo forest is facing an artificial lake, and a few wooden chairs are placed by the lake. When Min Chengzhou found Bian Xiaoqu, Bian Xiaoqu fell asleep lying on the chair, shrugging his shoulders due to the sudden drop in the temperature in the early morning.

Min Chengzhou woke her up, and she sat up in a daze, facing the calm lake in a daze, as if she didn't know where she was.

Min Chengzhou put his coat on her and said to her, "Your uncle is on his way."

Bian Xiaoqu dodged him for a while, and Min Chengzhou was taken aback by the defensiveness and strangeness in his eyes.

Min Chengzhou asked doubtfully, "You don't remember me?"

Bian Xiaoqu looked at the criminal policemen behind him, her expression became more and more nervous, she tore off the coat Min Chengzhou put on her, and ran along the lake.

"Ai!"

Min Chengzhou hurriedly chased after him. After two steps, Bian Xiaoqu bumped into Ji Zheng who came out of the bamboo forest.

"Brother Ji!"

Bian Xiaoqu threw himself into Ji Zheng's arms, turned his head and pointed at Min Chengzhou and the others, and said in horror: "They are chasing me!"

The thankless detectives stood not far away helplessly and frustrated.

Ji Zheng squatted down, supported Bian Xiaoqu's shoulders and looked around her whole body. Seeing that she was intact, his heart was slightly relieved after a night of high hanging.He stroked Xiao Que's hair, didn't ask her any questions, let alone scold her, he just said: "Don't be afraid, they are the police, they have been looking for you all night."

Bian Xiaoqu looked blankly: "Looking for me?"

Ji Zheng didn't say anything else, and asked Bian Xiaoqu to wait for him where he was, and walked towards Min Chengzhou.

After Ji Zheng left, Bian Xiaoqu crouched down hugging his knees, staring at the lake in a daze, his eyes blank.

Su Xingye walked slowly in front of Bian Xiaoqu, covering the faint morning light in front of her.

"Hello."

Su Xingye smiled at her.

Bian Xiaoqu raised his head to look at him, then quickly lowered his head.

Su Xingye squatted down and looked at her face twice, and saw that although she was still in the taxi a few hours ago, her demeanor was completely different from before, and it could even be said that she was a different person.

"Still remember me?"

Su Xingye asked with a smile.

Bian Xiaoqu looked at him blankly: "Have I seen you?"

Su Xingye narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly there was interest in his eyes: "Haven't you seen me?"

Bian Xiaoqu looked at him timidly and shook his head.

Su Xingye smiled slowly: "I also paid the fare for you? You don't remember?"

Bian Xiaoqu was taken aback, feeling flustered for no reason: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't remember, then I'll return the money to you—"

She anxiously looked for money in her pocket, but Su Xingye stopped her and said with a smile, "No, no, there's not much money."

He touched Bian Xiaoqu's arm, and Bian Xiaoqu slammed away from him as if being pricked by a needle, and then realized that his behavior was a little too aggressive, and apologized to him: "Sorry, I don't have any money with me. I will ask Brother Ji to return the money to you."

Su Xingye raised his eyebrows: "Brother Ji?" He looked at Ji Zheng who was talking to Min Chengzhou, and asked Bian Xiaoqu, "Isn't he your uncle?"

Bian Xiaoqu said: "The previous uncle treated me badly, but Brother Ji treated me very well, so I don't want to call Brother Ji uncle."

"Didn't you live with Ji Zheng before?"

"No, I just moved to Wei Ning and brother Ji a few months ago."

Su Xingye looked at her pretty face with a little panic, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

Bian Xiaoqu was afraid of strangers, avoided his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Bian Xiaoqu."

Su Xingye read her name silently: "Bian Xiaoqu, this name is so cute." He smiled softly at her: "Xiao Qu, is your mother's name Ji Yun?"

Bian Xiaoqu looked at him and didn't speak.

Su Xingye met the wariness in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Or, Li Han?"

Bian Xiaoqu shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Su Xingye could understand her clear and evasive eyes, like a child whose parents ordered him not to tell anything about his family.It seems that Ji Zheng doesn't allow her to talk about her mother to anyone.

Although he didn't get the answer from her, Su Xingye also guessed the answer.

Soon, Ji Zheng broke up with Min Chengzhou and the others. He watched Min Chengzhou leave the bamboo forest, then turned around and walked towards Bian Xiaoqu.

Su Xingye had already stepped aside, keeping a distance from Bian Xiaoqu, as if he had never talked to Bian Xiaoqu.

Ji Zheng took Bian Xiaoqu's hand, walked towards Su Xingye who had been running with him all night, and said, "Thank you so much today."

Su Xingye looked at him and smiled: "Just thank me?"

Ji Zheng was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I remember you don't like dinner."

"I don't like dinner, but the only way you express your gratitude is to treat guests to dinner? Ji Zheng, I also remember that you are not such a vulgar person."

Ji Zheng smiled lightly: "Everyone is a layman."

Su Xingye knew that it would be impossible for Ji Zheng to take the initiative to make an appointment for the next meeting, so he stopped pestering him and said, "Forget it, I'll take you back."

Su Xingye drove them to the place where Ji Zheng parked. Before Ji Zheng got off the car, he thanked Su Xingye again. When he opened the door, Su Xingye suddenly grabbed his arm.

He frowned slightly, and looked back at Su Xingye's hand on his arm.

Su Xingye quickly withdrew his hand, pretending not to see the rejection in his eyes, and said: "Ji Zheng, it's been a long time since that incident, your little friend may have forgotten it. I don't understand why you have been refusing to forgive I."

Ji Zheng calmed down and said perfunctorily with him: "Don't mention the past, thank you for your help today, goodbye."

"Wait a moment."

"What else?"

Su Xingye took out a business card from the business card box on the bridge and put it in the breast pocket of Ji Zheng's coat, and said with a smile, "You still owe me the thanks at the ceremony, contact me when you are ready."

Ji Zheng smiled noncommittally, got out of the car and walked towards the parking place with Bian Xiaoqu.

Su Xingye sat in the car and watched their backs, his gaze focused on Bian Xiaoqu who was walking beside Ji Zheng.

Bian Xiaoqu looked back as if aware of something, and met Su Xingye's eyes.

Su Xingye smiled at her, raised his right hand like a phone gesture and placed it next to his ear, and said silently: Call me.
