soldiers in front

Liang Xiaotong was taken by Lou Yue to the room next to the main office of the re-inspection team on the fifth floor. This room was agreed by the police officers as a rest room. Police officers who stayed up late on duty could take a nap in it to recharge their batteries. sharp.There are simple tables, chairs and sofas in the room, and on the tea table are a few buckets of instant noodles with half a box of soup left and a half-eaten lunch box, which are the leftovers that the person on duty did not clean up last night.As soon as Lou Yue opened the door, she saw the mess on the table and smelled the smell of smoke in the room. She immediately frowned, turned around and stopped a police officer who happened to pass by the corridor, and asked, "Who was on duty last night? "

The policeman thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Brother Cong and Brother Liu, and the technical team—"

Lou Yue didn't hear him finish, and said sternly; "Go and tell them, if you don't clean the lounge after dinner next time, everyone will stop using it in the future."

"Yes."

After the policeman left, Lou Yue rolled up her sleeves and swept all the leftovers on the table into the trash can, and threw all the police uniforms and coats thrown on the sofa onto the camp bed by the wall. Push all four windows open to let the smell out.

After finishing all this, she wiped her hands with a wet tissue and said to the door: "Come in."

Liang Xiaotong walked into the lounge, closed the door, and looked around the room a little awkwardly, feeling a little at a loss.

Lou Yue pointed to a sofa that had been cleaned up, and said, "Sit."

Liang Xiaotong sat down, lowered his head slightly, his eyes still in a trance.

Lou Yue took a glass of water and put it on the coffee table in front of him: "Our captain will talk to you later, you wait here for a while."

Liang Xiaotong said thank you in a low voice, and then said, "Okay."

Lou Yue settled him down, turned around and wanted to leave, but when she reached the door, she heard Liang Xiaotong call her: "Officer Lou."

Lou Yue held the doorknob and turned around: "Huh?"

Liang Xiaotong's plain expression showed a hint of desolation, he didn't look at Lou Yue, and said gently: "Please convey my thanks to Captain Xia, thank him for helping me out just now."

Lou Yue didn't understand: "Relieve the siege? What siege?"

Liang Xiaotong didn't speak, but lowered his head.

Lou Yue thought for a while, understood, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, what he said just now was not to help you out."

Liang Xiaotong looked at her suspiciously.

Lou Yue smiled and said, "That person is really his boyfriend."

After finishing speaking, Lou Yue pushed open the door and saw Xia Bingyang and Ji Zheng talking on the opposite side of the corridor.

Xia Bingyang put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head like a child who has done something wrong, whispered something in his mouth, kicked his toes on the floor, and raised his eyes to peek at Ji Zheng every few words, A very guilty look.

Ji Zheng frowned slightly, his expression looked very serious, but there was always a touch of tenderness in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, as well as a kindness that was helpless to the person in front of him and willing to indulge him.

Lou Yue couldn't hear what Xia Bingyang was muttering, and judging by his appearance, he was probably trying to argue.And Ji Zheng's voice is too magnetic and penetrating, so even if he lowered his voice, Lou Yue could still hear a few short words from his mouth: impulsiveness, lack of consideration, colleague relationship... ....

Xia Bingyang became anxious when he heard it. He drooped his face, turned around to face the wall, pressed his forehead against the wall, and said, "Then I've said everything, what else can I do?"

Ji Zhengdao: "Before you say it, have you fully considered it?"

Xia Bingyang turned her head away, not looking at him, and snorted: "No, what's the matter. If you don't want to hear it, you can pretend that you didn't hear it."

Ji Zheng knew that Xia Bingyang couldn't argue with him, and he was at a loss, so he began to play tricks, saying: "This is not a question of whether I want to hear it, but you have already said it, and in a completely inappropriate occasion, there is no question at all. Consider how saying inappropriate things in inappropriate situations affects you."

Xia Bingyang quibbled softly: "I don't care about the influence, what they like to say. You are the only one who cares."

Ji Zheng heard it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and squeezed his ears gently: "What did you say?"

Xia Bingyang covered his ears, and tilted his eyes at him: "You heard it."

Looking at his stubborn and stubborn face, Ji Zheng knew that he would not listen to persuasion, so he reasoned with him softly: "The person who works here is not me, why should I care? What I care about is that you will It will not be affected by what happened today."

Xia Bingyang said: "I don't want to think about such boring questions."

Ji Zheng crossed his arms, helplessly and amusedly said: "Then, I would like to ask Officer Xia, what issues are worthy of your consideration?"

Xia Bingyang glanced at him, and said righteously: "It's a trivial matter, and I won't worry about it. But you keep scolding me."

Ji Zheng said: "I didn't criticize you, I was discussing the matter with you."

"It's all over, it's too late anyway."

Ji Zhengdao: "The words are unreasonable. Don't you hold a summary meeting with your colleagues after finishing a case?"

Xia Bingyang turned towards him and looked at him almost provocatively: "That's right, I'm just trying to make excuses, what should I do?"

Ji Zheng looked at him silently for a moment, then pinched his chin and lifted it up gently, lowered his head and approached him: "Let's learn from it, don't make an example."

He rarely showed a strong side in front of Xia Bingyang. Xia Bingyang was being taught a lesson by him, but when he saw the soft seriousness between his resolute and handsome brows, his heart was moved by his hopeless heart.

He let go of his arrogance, lowered his head and fell into Ji Zheng's arms: "I know, I know, I know, I have said it many times, and you still teach me."

Ji Zheng didn't touch him, and let him rub against his chest: "You just said you knew, did you say you would reflect on it?"

"Didn't I say it?"

"No."

"Oh, I'll reflect on that then."

Xia Bingyang raised his head and looked at him pitifully: "You scolded me for so long, don't you give me some comfort?"

Ji Zheng smiled faintly and looked at him unmoved; "There is no comfort, this trick is useless to me now."

Xia Bingyang curled her lips in boredom, turned her head towards Lou Yue and said, "Sister Lou, get this suspicious person out."

Lou Yue glanced at him, leaned against the wall and tapped her nails calmly, knowing that Xia Bingyang meant to ask her to find a place for Ji Zheng to stay.

Xia Bingyang walked into the office and slammed the door behind him with a bang.

Lou Yue led Ji Zheng to the lounge, then closed the door for Liang Xiaotong and Ji Zheng in the lounge, and returned to the office of the review team for a meeting.

The meeting had already started when she entered the office. The backbone of the team sat around the long table for a week. Ren Erdong sat directly opposite Xia Bingyang, holding a laser pointer and dangling on the mobile whiteboard with the relationship diagram of the deceased. .

"Wu Zheng went to study in the UK in early 2010. He and Yao Zichen were not alumni. They met at a gathering of overseas students. The two quickly established a relationship after meeting. In June of 27, Wu Zheng took Yao Zichen back to China to meet his parents. The parents agreed to get married at the end of the year. We have already verified this with Wu Zheng’s parents. The last person Wu Zheng saw before he disappeared was Yao Zichen, around July [-]th. This information is just Yao Zichen’s verbal evidence. There is no other evidence to prove it. According to Yao Zichen, Wu Zheng lied to her about going back to school, but was later found out by the police, and Wu Zheng never left the country at all. So there is a doubt here."

Ren Erdong drew a circle around the word 'murderer' written by the marker with a laser pointer, and said, "Is it possible that after killing Wu Zheng, the murderer got Wu Zheng's cell phone and pretended to be Wu Zheng?" Zheng got in touch with Yao Zichen in order to delay Yao Zichen's report and buy time for his escape." He focused on Xia Bingyang in this sentence.

Xia Bingyang frowned slightly, looked at the whiteboard with the relationship diagram of the characters with a serious expression, took a ballpoint pen and knocked on the table again and again, and did not answer Ren Erdong's question, only said: "Say go down."

Ren Erdong continued: "Since Wu Zheng did not go abroad, the person who contacted Yao Zichen in the name of Wu Zheng said that 'he' has gone abroad. There are two situations. First, Wu Zheng made an appointment with Yao Zichen on July 28th. He died the day he met but didn't show up, and the person who contacted Yao Zichen later was the murderer. Second, Wu Zheng lied, and he was hiding from Yao Zichen. According to what we have learned so far, both hypotheses are possible. "

Lou Yue said: "Just now you said that the possibility of Wu Zheng hiding from his fiancée is unlikely, why have you changed your mind now?"

Ren Erdong glanced at Xia Bingyang, and said, "We didn't know the relationship between Wu Zheng and Liang Xiaotong before, but now Wu Zheng's identity has changed. Of course, we need to do another analysis."

Lou Yue thought for a while, but still said coldly: "You suspect that Wu Zheng went to Liang Xiaotong without telling Yao Zichen?"

Ren Erdong nodded: "It is possible."

Xia Bingyang did not give any response to Ren Erdong's doubts, and took a pen to tick off the document a few times: "Xixi continued."

Lang Xixi said: "I checked the employee information of Jinshi Warehouse Park from 11 to 12. None of the employees had a bad record, and no one resigned or left Weining in August of 12."

Xia Bingyang stopped writing, and nodded to Ren Erdong: "Your first assumption is untenable."

Ren Erdong: "How to say?"

Xia Bingyang threw the pen on the table, leaned back in the chair, stretched first, and then said: "You suspect that the person who contacted Yao Zichen after July 7th is the murderer, and the murderer pretended to be Wu Zheng and contacted Yao Zichen. The reason is to create the illusion that Wu Zheng is still safe, delay Yao Zichen’s reporting time, and buy time for himself to escape. Then the murderer should leave Weining in time after the murder. However, no employees of Jinshi Warehouse were killed in Wu Zheng Then leave the job. Since the murderer is not delaying time to escape, what is his purpose of delaying time?"

Ren Erdong was persuaded by him at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong: "No, the murderer who killed Wu Zheng may not be an employee of Jinshi Storage Park."

Xia Bingyang was looking down at the documents, when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, his lips curled up, and said, "I didn't even let you in."

Ren Erdong: "...you are testing me."

Xia Bingyang's smile faded away, and he became serious again in an instant. He looked up at him and said, "Repeat my last sentence."

After Ren Erdong thought about it for a while, Lou Yue next to him said first: "Since the murderer is not delaying time to escape, what is his purpose of delaying time?"

Xia Bingyang said: "Yes." He said and looked at Ren Erdong: "Tell me, why?"

Now Ren Erdong is a little confused: "This question is not established. Didn't I just say that the murderer may not be an employee of Jinshi Storage Park. We have only found out that there are no suspicious employees in Jinshi Storage Park who have left or left Weining. How do you To be sure the killer was not playing for time to get away. It’s a contradiction.”

Xia Bingyang shook his head and said, "You have ignored the probability issue."

Ren Erdong was indeed trapped by him now: "What probability problem?"

Xia Bingyang didn't speak, but glanced at Lou Yue.

Lou Yuedao: "Statistics show that only 20.00% of the perpetrators escaped from their original residence after murder. Eight to thirty, it's not that perpetrators will run away after killing. The murder you mentioned is only a small probability, and there is a high probability. A murderer does not escape after killing."

Ren Erdong: "No, no, think about it the other way around, since the murderer took Wu Zheng's cell phone after the murder, it was only to delay time, otherwise he took Wu Zheng's cell phone—" he said Seeing this, Ren Erdong was stunned, choked by himself, and paused for a while before saying: "Fuck, yes, the murderer is indeed delaying time, but the murderer's purpose of delaying time may not be to escape."

Li Zhiming just understood it, and said with a straight look: "Brother Dong is right."

Xia Bingyang turned his attention to Li Zhiming again: "Say a few words, too."

Li Zhiming looked like a student who was called by the teacher in class. He was nervous but said calmly: "Actually, Team Xia, Brother Dong and Sister Lou made a very clear analysis just now. The core of the case now is whether July 28th The time of Wu Zheng's disappearance is still the time of his death. If it is the time of Wu Zheng's disappearance, then Wu Zheng is still alive after the 28th, then Wu Zheng is hiding his activities from Yao Zichen. In this case, Liang Xiaotong should be investigated. If 28 The number is the time of Wu Zheng's death. The person who contacted Yao Zichen later could only be the murderer. Wu Zheng has only returned to China not long ago, and there should not be many people who had conflicts with him and wanted to put him to death. Xiaoxi also said just now that Wu Zheng After his disappearance, no assets in his account were transferred. It shows that the motive of the murderer was not for money, so it can only be a personal grievance. The person who has a personal grievance with Wu Zheng and who may kill Wu Zheng is still... ... Liang Xiaotong."

He looked at Xia Bingyang's expression for the last three words, and saw that his expression was the same, so he said it.

Xia Bingyang nodded calmly: "Anyway, do you doubt Liang Xiaotong?"

"Yes."

Xia Bingyang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Lang Xixi: "Have you found out Liang Xiaotong's whereabouts from June to August in 12?"

Lang Xixi said: "In 12 years, Liang Xiaotong hadn't graduated from university yet. He did a project with his tutor in June and left school in early July."

Xia Bingyang said: "From the first ten days to the end of July...there is time to commit crimes." He thought for a while, and then said: "I asked you to investigate Shao Yunfeng, how did you do?"

Lang Xixi: "Well... which aspect are you talking about?"

Xia Bingyang said: "He and Wu Zheng."

Lang Xixi shook the mouse quickly, trying to find out the connection between Shao Yunfeng and Wu Zheng in the data, but he couldn't find it, so he said helplessly, "Team Xia, Shao Yunfeng and Wu Zheng have no social relationship."

Xia Bingyang chose the next best thing: "Where are he and Yao Zichen?"

"which aspect?"

"Everything."

Lang Xixi said: "Shao Yunfeng has been living in Weining. He used to be a photographer. Later, he switched to fashion design and opened a company known as 'Wutongshu Clothing Co., Ltd.'. He and Yao Zichen... .There is no cross relationship. Before Yao Zichen returned to China, he should have never known Yao Zichen."

"Shao Yunfeng used to be a photographer?"

"Well... I said they were photographers, but in fact, most of them did some behind-the-scenes work and worked with some crews, and they were not well-known. Oh, that's right."

Lang Xixi suddenly looked at Lou Yue, and said with a smile, "He used to be a shareholder of Chenguang Photography Studio, a partner of Boss Zheng."

Lou Yue: ...

What does it have to do with her?Why did Lang Xixi choose her as the object of conversation in a conference room full of people and focus on telling her?

Xia Bingyang didn't understand Lang Xixi's operation, and asked, "Sister Lou, do you know this person?"

Lou Yue was very cold: "Zheng Yu is the owner of Chenguang Photography Studio. Xiaozhi and I went to Chenguang Photography Studio to look for Wang Yao's photos last time, and we met him once."

Xia Bingyang didn't do it. He thought: "Then you should go find him this time."

Lou Yue looked at him, using eyes instead of asking.

Xia Bingyang said: "Since Shao Yunfeng started a business with him in the past, why did he withdraw his shares and go it alone halfway through. Go and find out."

Lou Yue felt that it was unnecessary: ​​"Is it related to Wu Zheng's case?"

Xia Bingyang nodded and thought for a moment, then looked at her and smiled: "No."

Lou Yue didn't speak, and pinched her knuckles gently.

Xia Bingyang said: "I want to know about this person."

"Shao Yunfeng?"

"Yes, Shao Yunfeng did not meet Yao Zichen before Yao Zichen returned to China, so why did he marry Yao Zichen so quickly?"

"If you are interested in their love history, you can ask them directly."

Xia Bingyang shook his head with a deep expression: "I have met Shao Yunfeng, this man is too shrewd, shrewd enough to be a bit hypocritical. I don't trust a hypocritical person."

Lou Yue didn't ask any more questions, but said dryly: "Understood."

The meeting came to an end, Xia Bingyang read the meeting minutes recorded by Li Zhiming, made a brief summary, and then adjourned the meeting.

Ren Erdong also wanted to chat with Xia Bingyang about Liang Xiaotong, Xia Bingyang said: "Liang Xiaotong is next door, let me chat with you."

After finishing speaking, he left the office and went to the next door, Ren Erdong followed behind him.

Xia Bingyang pushed open the door of the lounge, and saw Ji Zheng sitting on the sofa flipping through internal magazines, while Liang Xiaotong stood by the window talking on the phone.

Seeing Xia Bingyang coming in through the door, Liang Xiaotong said, "Okay, I'll go back to the company as soon as possible." Then he hung up the phone.

Xia Bingyang looked at him and asked, "The company's phone number?"

Liang Xiaotong walked back and said, "Yes, Chairman Xia is going to inspect the factory in the afternoon, and there are some preparations that need to be arranged."

In order to distinguish Mr. Xia from Mr. Xia, he called Xia Bingyang's father Mr. Xia.However, Xia Bingyang didn't have the slightest interest in his father's itinerary and didn't care at all. He thought that the person who contacted Liang Xiaotong was Xia Hang, so he asked one more question.Taking care of Liang Xiaotong's business affairs, Xia Bingyang glanced at his watch and said, "Then let's make a quick decision."

Ji Zheng saw that Xia Bingyang was going to talk to Liang Xiaotong here. In order to avoid suspicion, he put the internal journal documents on the coffee table, got up and wanted to go out, but when he walked to Xia Bingyang, Xia Bingyang grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Ji Zheng stopped and looked back at him.

Xia Bingyang winked at him, then looked at the empty seat beside her.

Ji Zheng knew that Xia Bingyang wanted him to stay and listen. Although he was puzzled, he knew that Xia Bingyang would not be willful in business affairs. Xia Bingyang had his reasons for letting him listen.So Ji Zheng sat down beside Xia Bingyang, keeping a very low-key silence.

Xia Bingyang then looked at Liang Xiaotong, cut to the point and said, "Secretary Liang, since you are in a hurry, then I will speak directly."

Liang Xiaotong said, "Please tell me."

Xia Bingyang sized him up and put his cards down: "We suspect that you have something to do with Wu Zheng's death."

Liang Xiaotong was stunned, looking a little surprised: "Me? Why?"

Xia Bingyang looked at him intently: "Because you have a past with him. He brought Yao Zichen back to China to get married, but suddenly disappeared after returning to China. And we found out that he had been lying to Yao Zichen on the eve of his disappearance, saying that he had gone back to school .In fact, he has not gone abroad, he has been in the country. So we suspect that he met someone without telling Yao Zichen, this person cannot be known by Yao Zichen. The only person who is suitable for this candidate is you."

Ren Erdong secretly glanced at Xia Bingyang, and heard that Xia Bingyang was using the assumptions made in the meeting just now to blow up Liang Xiaotong.

Liang Xiaotong seemed very surprised, his eyes became more and more scattered, his brows became more and more wrinkled, his face showed a look of self-mockery and distress, and after a while he said: "You misunderstood me, the person he saw was not me. He... .....did not find me."

Xia Bingyang pressed on: "Do you have evidence? The evidence is that he never saw you after returning to China."

"I'm sorry, I did not."

"Then your words cannot be trusted, unless you can produce objective witness or physical evidence to prove that the person Wu Zheng dated without telling Yao Zichen was not you."

Xia Bingyang changed the wording and used 'date', which was another stimulus for Liang Xiaotong.

Liang Xiaotong frowned a little irritably, rubbed his forehead and said, "But, you haven't found evidence that I met him, have you?"

Xia Bingyang said: "We currently have no evidence to prove that he met you, but we have the right to doubt you, so it is you who have to show us evidence to prove your innocence, not us to help you with evidence to prove your innocence." innocent."

Xia Bingyang's sophistry has always been unparalleled, and Liang Xiaotong, who is elegant and profound, is not his opponent. He was soon stunned by his cunning logic of this kind of overlord's clause, and he became even more panic-stricken. Yu said: "But I, I don't know...Captain Xia, Wu Zheng really didn't look for me."

Only then did Xia Bingyang throw the final trap to him: "I really want to believe you, but if you can't produce evidence, I can't believe you." Then, he paused, and lightly said: "Unless you can tell On the day Wu Zheng disappeared, where were you and what did you do?"

Ji Zheng, who had been listening in, was almost stunned by Xia Bingyang's sophistry. It wasn't until he heard Xia Bingyang's words that he suddenly realized that Xia Bingyang seemed to be paving the way for Liang Xiaotong, who was eager to get rid of the suspicion, but in fact he was helping Liang Xiaotong. A hole was dug.Because Xia Bingyang has been using 'alibi' to make a fuss since entering this lounge, and has never mentioned the time of Wu Zheng's disappearance.Liang Xiaotong was already being asked urgently by him now, and his thinking was confused, so when Xia Bingyang asked him to produce an alibi, even if he was lying, he would make up an alibi for himself.The premise is that he must know exactly when Wu Zheng disappeared.

Only Yao Zichen and the police know the time of Wu Zheng's disappearance.

Ji Zheng also looked at Liang Xiaotong, wanting to see how he would react next.He saw that Liang Xiaotong was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Bingyang helplessly and confused, and said, "Which day? I'm sorry, I mean—" His thoughts were still confused, and he stopped. After coming down to adjust his breathing, he said, "I don't know when Wu Zheng will disappear."

Xia Bingyang looked at him calmly, no disappointment could be seen on his expression, his eyes looked brighter than the cunning just now.

He looked at Liang Xiaotong and smiled slightly: "It's all right. Dongzi, send Secretary Liang out."

Liang Xiaotong was ordered to evict him suddenly, and subconsciously stood up from the sofa. Seeing that Xia Bingyang seemed to have something to say, he only sighed sadly, and bowed slightly to Xia Bingyang politely: "Then See you next time, Captain Xia."

After Ren Erdong sent Liang Xiaotong out, Xia Bingyang sat on the sofa, silently meditating.

Ji Zheng waited for a while and didn't listen to him, so he didn't bother him. When he raised his wrist to look at his watch, he heard a 'tsk'.

Ji Zheng turned his head to look at him, and saw that he was frowning slightly, looking at a camp bed in the diagonally opposite corner with a displeased face: "Why is that bed so messy?"

Ji Zheng seemed to have a premonition of something, so he didn't answer, waiting for him to continue.

Sure enough, Xia Bingyang said again: "Otherwise, I can still go up and roll with you for a while."

The corners of Ji Zheng's eyes twitched, and he held his forehead to take a breath with a smile neither angry nor angry: "I thought you were thinking about something serious."

Xia Bingyang looked at him, and said very confidently: "Fuck | Aren't sheets a serious matter?"

Ji Zheng has been reserved and a gentleman all his life, he has never said such explicit words, and the chances of hearing such words in the living environment are very few, not to mention that these words come from Xia Bingyang's mouth.Although he was not used to it, Xia Bingyang's words did not make him feel uncomfortable, but instead made him a little restless and a little hot.

He pretended to be innocent, and calmly unbuttoned a shirt collar: "When will you get rid of your open mouth?"

Xia Bingyang put his arms around his neck and lay down on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "No need to change, I just speak freely in front of you."

The door was pushed open, and Ren Erdong saw Xia Bingyang lying on Ji Zheng's body, and turned his head to leave.

Xia Bingyang sat up straight and said, "Come back."

Ren Erdong stood at the door without looking back: "What orders does the leader have?"

Xia Bingyang stood up and stretched the hem of his shirt, and said, "I'll go first, you will preside over the work of the team, call me if you have anything to do."
