Chapter 3 Chapter 2 I'm late

At noon, Li Binliang arrived in Shanyang County by long-distance bus.When he got off the bus, he saw his name written on the pick-up sign at a glance, and then he saw the familiar face holding the pick-up sign. Where have you seen her?No…… On the way, he received a call from her, claiming that his family name was Miao Yu, and he wanted to pick him up at the bus stop with a pick-up sign.He didn't know her, and he had never seen her, but for some reason, when he suddenly saw her face, he had a feeling of deja vu. Accompanied by it, a pleasant feeling arises in my heart. She was bathed in the sun at noon, and her figure and appearance were clearly displayed: about twenty-seven or eight years old, tall and tall, with a delicate oval face and a beautifully lined chin, a pair of black eyes and a snow-white mouth teeth, all give a strong impression.She was wearing a light-colored casual outfit, exuding a youthful and mature feminine atmosphere.He walked towards her, and she also guessed that he was the one she was going to pick up. She showed a mouthful of white teeth, greeted him with a subtle smile, and stretched out his hand to him, so he and her hand held tightly together.

He felt a sense of déjà vu again. She led him out of the bus stop, led him to a Santana sedan with civilian license plates on the side of the road, sat in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully, and drove forward. He sat on the passenger seat, glanced at her and asked, "Is Chief Lin here?" She looked ahead: "Not yet, he has something to do, so he can come tomorrow." "Hey, who's here?" "You are the second." He looked at her suspiciously: "Who is the first one?" She showed her white teeth and smiled: "What do you think?"

Li Binliang: "This...you..." Miao Yu smiled without saying a word. This…… Li Binliang was speechless for a moment.He thought that for such an important case, the task force must have elite soldiers and strong generals. Unexpectedly, she, a woman, was the first to come... He tentatively asked, "Are you..." She guessed what he was going to ask: "I'm from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau. Director Lin sent me to Shanyang to make a stand." Criminal investigation detachment?I've never heard of her, maybe she's an employee or something.However, "Miao Yu" - this name seems to have been heard somewhere, where is it?Why did Director Lin draw her to the task force?Among other things, the whole team is gay, so it's inconvenient to work with a woman like her...

His doubts have not yet been resolved, and the Shanyang County Public Security Bureau has appeared in front of him.This is a newly built five-story office building. Under Miao Yu's guidance, he walked into the building. It was lunch break, and the building was very quiet.Miao Yu greeted the duty room next to the foyer, and led Li Binliang up to the second floor and into a long corridor.From the signs on the door lintels, it can be seen that this is the criminal police brigade.He followed her down the corridor, stopping outside an unmarked office door.She took out her key and opened the door, letting him in.

The room was fairly spacious, with three office desks and chairs placed by the window, two single beds by the wall, and a metal cabinet placed on the other wall.It seems that this is the office of the task force! Miao Yu handed the door key to Li Binliang, pointed to the room and said, "This is the office of the special case team, and at the same time, it is also the dormitory for your gay men." Li Binliang: "Where do you live?" Miao Yu gestured: "Next door, a small room." Li Binliang looked at the room: "Who else is in our task force?" Miao Yu: "Not many, there are only three of you and me in other cities and counties."

Li Binliang: "Who is that person?" Miao Yu: "Qin Zhijian, the criminal police chief of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau. He has a case in hand and will arrive later. By the way, you guys know each other!" Of course I do.They are both heads of criminal investigation, and they are in the same area. They often meet together during meetings and handling cases. It is common to help each other, so we naturally know each other.In fact, it was more than acquaintance, it could be said that he was familiar with and understood Qin Zhijian.He is a very personable person, jealous of evil, honest and outspoken, and quick to speak. At a city-wide criminal investigation work meeting, he actually raised his opinion face-to-face to the provincial and department leaders present, saying that there is too much formalism now, which affects criminal investigation work.Although everyone dared not publicly agree with him, they all agreed very much, so they admired him very much.He not only dared to speak out, but also had a desperate drive to solve the case, and his mind was also very good.It's a joy to work with such a person.By the way, Director Lin used to be the director of the Qingshui Public Security Bureau, and Qin Zhijian was also mentioned by him. This time he was selected to the special case team, and he must have taken advantage of his advantages.

Li Binliang asked who else was in the special case team. Miao Yu said that the rest would be drawn from the Shanyang County Bureau. There was Qiu Xiaoming, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation. However, he had a case out and would not be back until tomorrow. Li Binliang also knew Qiu Xiaoming, but his impression was mediocre.He and Qin Zhijian are two completely different people. They don't talk much on weekdays, are cautious, and lack the pride of being a criminal policeman. After a brief arrangement, Miao Yu led him to the cafeteria for dinner.The two dined at the same table, and Miao Yu took care of him like a hostess. He served him food and vegetables, moved swiftly, and came and went like the wind, which made Li Binliang eat a lot. When he put down his chopsticks, he felt a little full.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, Li Binliang was a little sleepy. After lunch, he wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't lie down on the bed for a while.You are here to solve the case, not to rest. You have to hurry up to understand the case. I don’t know where the case file is. You should read it first... Just as you were thinking, someone knocked gently on the door.He agreed and walked over to open the door, only to find Miao Yu standing outside the door holding a stack of files. Miao Yu: "Director Lin said that after you came, you must be eager to read the paper, let me send it to you!"

What a tacit understanding. After Miao Yu left, Li Binliang sat down at the desk by the window with the file in his arms, and found that there was a stack of transcript paper printed by the Sanyang Public Security Bureau that had been prepared earlier on the desk, and a box of carbon-core pens. It seemed that it was already prepared for him.He poured himself another glass of boiling water, and buried himself in the case files. Reading papers is hard work. In addition to discovering doubts and clues that others cannot find, this kind of work also requires you to have a strong enough nerve.

Li Binliang was mentally prepared for this point.Therefore, the first thing he looked at was the photos, and the first thing that caught his eyes were the few photos he didn't want to see but had to see—the scene of the tragic death of the victim. This is the most painful job he has ever been in the police force.No, this is not work, it is a kind of torture, a torture to people's nerves and hearts.Every time he looked at the dead bodies and photos of the victims intently, he could hear his nerves groaning.However, this is a profession, a job, you have to read it, you have to read it.That's it for now.The first photo he saw was the photo of the woman who was strangled to death, looking at the cruel strangulation marks on her neck, her painful dying eyes, and her sticking out tongue... The second photo was even more unbearable Go on, because she is still a child, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she has already died, her eyes are still open, showing despair and panic, and her mouth is slightly open, as if calling for help... God Well, how would her father feel if he saw these photos? I hope the investigators didn't let him see... No, it doesn't matter whether you see the photos or not. It is said that the father saw his wife and daughter with his own eyes. The corpse passed out on the spot.How did he survive these days...

After watching for a long time, Li Binliang realized that his teeth were chattering and his heart was beating abnormally. Several photos of the victim from different angles were finally seen, but Li Binliang got nothing but shock, pain and hatred.Then, he began to study the site photos and site survey maps taken by the technicians. After looking at them for a while, he was surprised again because he found that the site was just an ordinary one-story house of more than 60 square meters. There is no decent furniture in the house, which is similar to ordinary residents, color TV, wardrobe, floor table, dressing table, writing desk, and nothing else. This is the home of the county party secretary? From the on-site investigation records and photos, it can be seen that the house has been flipped extensively.Outside the house, at Dongfang Mountain, there were two unclear footprints of men, which were preliminarily identified as left by the murderer, indicating that he had hidden there before committing the crime.Judging from Tuoxia's impression, this is a pair of ordinary hiking shoes, 44 yards long. It seems that the person's height is at least 1.75 meters, or even 1.80 meters.Li Binliang looked at the shoe prints for a while, and then focused his attention on a few fingerprints. This is a very complete five-fingerprint. The investigation records indicate that it was taken from the door of the house, and it can be preliminarily identified as the murderer.Fingerprints and footprints are important evidence and clues to solve the case. Now that they have been obtained, it is said that they will definitely play an important role in solving the case. However, after more than three months of investigation, nothing was found. It seemed that the murderer must have come from another place. After reading the photos and survey maps, Li Binliang began to read the interrogation records.Although the transcripts are thick, there are not many valuable things, most of which are interview records, and the records are similar: "I don't know", "I didn't see it", and "I can't explain it clearly".Some of the interviewees were neighbors, some were Zheng Nan's colleagues, some were the victim's teachers and classmates, some were people who were listed as suspects by the investigators, and there were also stores selling hiking shoes in this city and surrounding cities and counties.Although there was nothing of value, Li Binliang continued to read patiently.Veteran criminal investigators know that reading files is the basic skill of criminal police. It is not easy to read a file deeply and thoroughly. An excellent investigator can find problems that others have not found in an ordinary file. Li Binliang watched with his head buried in his head, jotting down a few notes on paper from time to time. Unknowingly, several hours passed. He didn't raise his head until Miao Yu came in to let him eat, and found that it was nearly dusk. Dinner was dull.Because Li Binliang has been thinking about the case, those photos are shaking in front of his eyes from time to time.After eating, he asked Miao Yu where the scene was, what was the current situation, and whether it had been cleaned up.Miao Yu was not clear about whether the scene was cleaned up or not, but she said that after the crime was reported, Zheng Nan never went home to live again, and the keys to the house are still in the hands of the police.As she said that, she took out a bunch of keys: "Director Lin gave it to me. He said, after you come to Sanyang, after reading the papers, you will definitely rush to see the scene. I have been there before, let's go!" Li Binliang felt a surge of emotion in his heart: Director Lin really understands himself. Walking out of the Public Security Bureau building, Miao Yu was eager to drive.Li Binliang said: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong, I think, let's get acquainted with the environment in Shanyang!" Miao Yu: "You mean, walk? Well, Shanyang County is not big, and the scene is not too far away. Let's go!" Soon, the two appeared on the streets of Shanyang County at dusk.At this time, Li Binliang suddenly felt a dreamlike feeling. It’s so similar: it’s evening again, it’s the street again, it’s the gentle evening breeze, and it’s the blurred twilight... Li Binliang has to remind himself that time and space have changed, this is Shanyang, not Jiangquan, and it’s been two years since last night. Fourteen hours have passed, and now, you are not accompanied by a young daughter, but a beautiful adult woman. Li Binliang glanced at Miao Yu.In the twilight, her face can no longer be seen clearly, but the graceful lines of her cheeks and her slender figure are still visible. She is still wearing the light-colored casual clothes and white hiking shoes on her feet. Her steps are easy and powerful. , flexible, walking forward side by side with him. Li Binliang felt a relaxed and joyful feeling in his heart, which he hadn't experienced for many years.He secretly sneered at himself: What's the matter with you, have you become a pervert, and when you see a beautiful woman, you are out of your mind?No, you're not that kind of person, it's because of your temperament, it's a normal reaction of a man, who doesn't like to admire a beautiful opposite sex, let alone walking side by side with her like now... What kind of gaze is that man passing by? Looking at her, looking at yourself, is it envy or jealousy?At this moment, a sense of self-satisfaction and pride arose in his heart, but he immediately began to criticize himself: Li Binliang, what's wrong with you?Did you fall in love with her? What does she have to do with you? Based on her age, appearance, and conditions, she must have had a happy family. Even if she is not married, she must have a lover. She has nothing to do with you.Besides, she's much younger than you... Suddenly, another figure flashed in front of Li Binliang's eyes, and his heart sank.It was a person of the opposite sex whose appearance and temperament were completely different from hers, a person who had left this world forever.In contrast, Miao Yu is younger, and she seems to be showing a bit of arrogance, which is shown by her raised nose and graceful chin, while she who left is as her name suggests, gentle, peaceful, and simple No fancy, more inner beauty... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at her again, just in time to find that she was also looking at him, her black eyes shining in the darkness, his heart skipped a beat, he was a little embarrassed to withdraw his thoughts, Turn your gaze to the street scene in front of you. In the twilight, the face of the city is vaguely discernible.Compared with Jiangquan, Shanyang County is obviously smaller, and there are not as many buildings as Jiangquan.However, the streets are very clean, no rubbish can be seen, not even a piece of paper, giving people a fresh and simple feeling, which is really rare for a county town.It seems that the county leaders have done a good job in urban management... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the victim of the case—the county party secretary Zheng Nan.Needless to say, the appearance of Shanyang County is also the face of the county party secretary. This kind of tranquility and solemnity must have an important relationship with Zheng Nan.Of course, since I'm new here, what I see may only be superficial phenomena. Who knows what else is hidden behind this heavy night? Shanyang County is indeed not big.While thinking, the two unknowingly walked to a residential area on the outskirts of the city.Miao Yu said that Zheng Nan's home is in this residential area.At this time, it was already late, so Miao Yu took out a pocket flashlight and illuminated the road.It can be discerned in the night that this is a one-story residential area, full of ordinary brick houses and mud houses.Although Li Binliang knew that Zheng Nan lived in a bungalow when he read the case files, he was still surprised after being there. Why does he still live here as the secretary of the county party committee?Is it really financial constraints, or is it a deliberate show... As he continued to move forward and penetrated into the residential area, there were fewer and fewer passers-by, and gradually disappeared. Li Binliang followed Miao Yu and walked forward. Suddenly, he felt something and stopped abruptly. Miao Yu asked strangely, "Director Li, what's wrong?" Li Binliang didn't answer, looked around alertly, and touched the pistol in his waist.He had a feeling that someone was staring at him, and he even heard a slight noise.However, he didn't know if it was his own illusion, and he didn't want to surprise her, so he didn't make a sound, just looked around.Seeing this, Miao Yu stopped like him, and the beam of the flashlight shone around. Suddenly, she exclaimed: "Ah... who..." found it. In the darkness by the side of the road, there is a man hidden. The flashlight shined on it, but the person was still hiding there, making no sound or moving.He hid it really well, there was a pile of black things in the darkness, and the person was wearing black and gray clothes, curled up in it, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. Li Binliang stepped in front of Miao Yu, grabbed the handle of the gun in his arms, and said vigilantly: "We are the police, who are you, stand up!" Miao Yu: "I'm talking about you, do you hear me, come out!" The figure finally reacted, he sat up slowly and raised his head.Seeing this, Miao Yu screamed and subconsciously took a step back, Li Binliang couldn't help being surprised. At first glance, this is not a person, but a monster, with long fluffy hair like tangled grass, and two eyes with dim lights.If you are timid, you must be frightened.Li Binliang leaned forward with the handle of the gun in his hand. An unpleasant smell came to his nostrils, and he had to stop. Miao Yu also walked up and said sharply, "What on earth are you doing? Why don't you speak?" Li Binliang didn't ask any more questions. He had already found a lot of rubbish beside this person. He picks up trash? However, at this time, the trash picker should go home, why is he still here? However, Li Binliang is not surprised soon.Over the years, people have become accustomed to such scenarios.In what city is there no such person?No one knows where they come from, where they are going, they have no home, and when night comes, they just find a place to spend the night, no one pays attention to them, and let them fend for themselves. But Miao Yu still didn't react, and continued to sternly: "I'm asking you, did you hear that? What are you doing? Why are you hiding here?" Strange things happened. "Trash picker" stood up slowly, stood upright, bowed down, and uttered a sentence clearly from his mouth: "Good government!" Miao Yu was taken aback: "What..." "Good government!" Miao Yu wanted to ask again, but was held back by Li Binliang. Li Binliang stepped forward, held his breath, and carefully looked at the person in front of him.It can be discerned that this is a middle-aged and elderly man, because his hair and beard are too long, it is difficult to determine his exact age, maybe forty or fifty, fifty or sixty years old.Facing their gazes, he still bowed his head in an orderly manner and stood motionless. Li Binliang changed to a gentle tone: "What's your name and where is your home?" "Good government!" Miao Yu came up to give Li Binliang a hand, and whispered, "He seems to be out of spirits... maybe he's crazy... But why does he keep saying that?" Li Binliang whispered: "Because, he has been in prison." Miao Yu: "You said, he is a reform-through-labour prisoner?" Li Binliang: "No, he used to be!" "This...but..." Miao Yu took another step forward and looked at the man opposite: "What's your name, why are you staying here, don't you have a home? Do you have any difficulties, we are the police, we can help you." Li Binliang felt that the "lunatic" seemed to hesitate a little, but what he said was still: "Hello, the government!" He didn't seem to be able to say a second sentence, Miao Yu turned around, and looked at Li Binliang helplessly, the two left in dismay, Miao Yu turned her head while walking. Li Binliang also looked back, and saw that the "trash picker" was still standing bowed in the darkness. Miao Yu: "Director Li, how do you know he has been in prison? Is it because he said 'the government is good'?" Miao Yu was right.In order to solve the case, it is common for the criminal police to go to the prison to interrogate the sentenced prisoners.That time, Li Binliang went to a prison to interrogate prisoners. When he walked into the corridor of the cell, he saw that the prisoners in the cell were sitting cross-legged neatly.During the interrogation, the prisoner bowed his body just like the "trash picker" just now, and said "Hi the government" in one mouthful.At that time, he felt very uncomfortable, but the leader of the prison proudly showed it off to him as his work achievement. Based on this, he judged that this person had been in prison, and it was a habit developed in prison.However, it has already been released from prison, why is it still like this?Miao Yu was right, he must be mentally ill and a lunatic. Miao Yu was still walking and turning her head. Li Binliang: "Miao Yu, what are you looking at?" Miao Yu: "This...he just spent the night outside? How can we help him?" Li Binliang's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that walking beside him was a sympathetic woman.But how to help him?Back then, he had done this before, but gradually he discovered that there were too many people like this in society, and the kindness of one or two people couldn't help them.He couldn't answer her words, so he could only turn her attention to another direction: "Miao Yu, how far is it?" "Ah, come on, the house in front is it!" Li Binliang raised his head and looked forward. A small single-door courtyard, surrounded by a circle of wooden camphors, a two-room hut with a size of 60 to 70 square meters, mixed in a similar residential group.If he hadn't seen the case files and related photos, Li Binliang would have never imagined that this was actually the home of Zheng Nan, secretary of the Shanyang County Party Committee.Of course, this house has not been lived in for a long time, this family has existed in name only, the wife and daughter were murdered, and there is only one lonely man left, can it still be called "home"... Li Binliang stood at the courtyard door and looked in. The hut stood silently in the night, it looked like a living object, like a person hiding some secret in his heart, welcoming the two of them suspiciously. Miao Yu took out the key and unlocked the courtyard door. The courtyard door creaked open, but Li Binliang seemed to hear a woman's scream coming from the room: "Help——" He knew that this was the voice from his own heart, the voice from the ghosts of the murdered mother and daughter to him.Yes, before they were killed, they must have cried out with their hearts in this room, longing for someone to rescue them from the clutches of the devil, but they have only come here now... He said guiltily in his heart: "Sorry, we are late!" Li Binliang did not go directly into the room, but first walked around to Fangshan on the east side of the house, and carefully observed the underground with Miao Yu's flashlight.This should be the place where the murderer hid before committing the crime. However, it has been three months, and of course nothing will be found. However, he still observed attentively, imitating the murderer and crouching down, looking around for a while.This is really a good place to hide, not only hidden, but also able to observe the movements inside and outside the courtyard. Miao Yu said nonsense in a low voice: "The on-site investigation determined that the murderer was hiding here before committing the crime." Li Binliang did not speak, and led Miao Yu to the door, asked her to open it, and walked into the room under the guidance of the flashlight beam.Miao Yu found the light switch and turned on the light. The interior is also very ordinary, the outside is the kitchen, the stove, the cupboard, everything is similar to ordinary people's homes.The interior is divided into front and back rooms. Li Binliang walked to the front room, and just about to push the door, he retracted his hand again. On-site investigation records showed that the five fingerprints were printed on this door. He looked at the door, realized that the scene had been entered and exited many times, and the investigation was over, so he opened the door carefully and walked in.Miao Yu turned on the lights in the room again, and everything that greeted her eyes was still the same ordinary: a double bed, two single sofas, a tea table, a wardrobe, and an old-fashioned dressing table. A color TV, still 21 inches.It seemed that no one had lived in the house for a long time, and there was a layer of dust floating on the furniture and the floor.There are a few vague footprints on the ground, probably left by the surveyors.The house is not as messy as in the photos, but it is not clean either. It looks like someone hastily tidied it up after the scene was dealt with.What caught his attention was that there was a square mark on the white powder wall, with a little dust hanging on it, and two short iron nails were nailed to the lower part of the mark. Something must have hung there.what is it then? photo.Yes, originally, there must have been a photo hanging there, a family photo, a happy photo, but now, if it is still hanging there, it can only be a portrayal of misery and despair, so I took it off down.It must be so. Li Binliang silently looked at the white wall in front of him. After a while, Miao Yu whispered behind him: "Director Li, the scene is in the back room." Li Binliang came out from the front room and walked towards the back room through the kitchen. When he reached the door, he stopped subconsciously again, and a sense of fear rose in his heart. This is the scene where the mother and daughter were killed. Even though he knew that the victim's body had already been removed, cremated, and disappeared, he was still a little scared. He was worried that he would see the horrible body after opening the door, especially the girl's body.He had a feeling that the ghosts of the mother and daughter were still indoors, waiting for him, waiting for his arrival, waiting for him to avenge them.He felt that walking into the room meant a promise to them, to solve the case, to bring justice to them, to avenge them... He stood there for a long time, until Miao Yu called "Director Li" remindingly, then raised his legs and followed her in. There was no one in the room, let alone the undead, and there were still white lines drawn by the technicians on the ground, which were the outlines of the two corpses. This is the scene.That mother, that blooming girl was brutally killed here.At that time, they must have struggled, resisted, cried, begged, and begged for help, but everything was useless, and the two precious lives were mercilessly taken away by the murderer... Sorry, I am late! The site has been surveyed several times, dozens of times, and there will be no new discoveries.Therefore, he didn't turn anything, just stood silently, letting the silent pain bite his heart. After an unknown amount of time, he turned around and said, "Miao Yu, let's go!" Leaving Zheng's house, Li Binliang followed Miao Yu's flashlight with a heavy heart. Suddenly, Miao Yu gently pulled him. He was startled, woke up from his contemplation, and whispered: "What's wrong?" Miao Yu replied in a low voice nervously: "It seems that there is someone!" Li Binliang was shocked again, but he didn't show it, and asked in a low voice as he walked, "Where is it?" Miao Yu: "I didn't see it either, but there seems to be footsteps behind." Li Binliang listened attentively, but there was nothing, he shook Miao Yu, pretended not to know anything, and continued walking forward. Sure enough, there was a very slight sound of footsteps coming from behind, which could not be heard without paying attention. Who is this?Is it a passerby, or... Li Binliang turned his head suddenly, and in a daze, a figure disappeared in the distance. There are real people, and they are definitely not passers-by. So, who is he, could he be a murderer?Impossible, there is no clue for more than three months, how come the murderer appeared as soon as I came? But, if not the murderer, then who? Whoever it was, he was clearly stalking him. Li Binliang gave Miao Yu a hand, and the two stepped forward quickly, and the sound of footsteps came faintly from behind.The two walked forward for a while, and an alley appeared in front of them. Li Binliang pulled Miao Yu again, lowered his body, dodged into the alley, and hid himself. Li Binliang chose this place because there is a bright light at the entrance of the alley, which is projected from the windows of nearby residents. If the follower came over, he would pass by here and show his face. However, the follower was obviously an expert. He walked over lightly, but hid his face in the darkness. Li Binliang only saw two feet exposed to the light. It was a pair of strong, manly feet, wearing a pair of hiking shoes. Wearing such shoes on the feet, walking is light and stable, and it is not easy to make noise, so it is the first choice for monitoring and tracking. Li Binliang looked up along his feet and thighs, trying to see the faces hidden in the darkness.It looked like a young man with a slender body. Although the facial features could not be seen clearly, it felt like a thin face. Miao Yu whispered: "What to do, catch him?" Before Li Binliang could answer, those feet suddenly moved and walked into the distance. No more hesitation, Li Binliang quickly jumped up, drew his gun and chased after him: "Who, stop, we are the police!" Hearing the order, the figure in front seemed to hesitate for a moment, but immediately quickened his pace and fled to the distance. Li Binliang and Miao Yu chased after them.Miao Yu said to Li Binliang: "Shoot!" Without waiting for Li Binliang to answer, he pointed the gun at the sky: "Stop—" Miao Yu pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot into the sky.However, the person in front did not stop, but disappeared into the darkness at an extremely fast speed.Li Binliang and Miao Yu chased for a while and had to stop. Miao Yu's eyes gleamed in the darkness, panting: "Director Li, what should I do?" Li Binliang thought for a while: "I seem to have Director Qiu's phone number." He was referring to Qiu Xiaoming, the deputy director of criminal investigation of the Shanyang County Public Security Bureau and a member of the task force.He is also the deputy director of criminal investigation, so he naturally has business contacts.Li Binliang took out his cell phone and quickly found Qiu Xiaoming's cell phone number.However, after he dialed once, the message came: "The mobile phone you dialed is currently on the phone", and he didn't get through until the third time. Li Binliang reported his family name and told the situation just now. Qiu Xiaoming was a little surprised: "There is such a thing, who is this person... How about this, leave this matter to me, you go back and rest, see you tomorrow!" That was the only way to go, Li Binliang put down the phone disgruntled.Only then did he realize that the place under his feet was the hiding place where he picked up the trash when he came here. Miao Yu also noticed this, and looked around: "Hey, where did that lunatic go... By the way, could that person just now be that lunatic?" Li Binliang smiled, because Miao Yu suddenly showed the common weakness of women, imaginative but unrealistic.He had already seen the outline of the escaped man. He must be a strong young man, not at all resembling a lunatic. Miao Yu said unhappily, "Director Li, what are you laughing at? If it wasn't that lunatic, where did that lunatic go?" Li Binliang: "How can I know, but that person must not be him. Didn't you also see his back? It's a young man." Miao Yu stubbornly said, "Then, where did the lunatic go?" Li Binliang: "How do I know, maybe, he has family and has already returned home!" Miao Yu was silent for a moment: "I hope so. I really can't imagine how he would live if he didn't have a home. Could it be that he lived by this roadside? You said he was in prison? What crime did he commit? What about the madman?" Li Binliang couldn't answer, he could only say: "Ask Qiu Xiaoming tomorrow, he probably knows." Miao Yu didn't ask any more questions, and followed Li Binliang to walk forward silently. Because the night was too dark, and because of what happened just now, the distance between the two unknowingly got closer. Although they were both silent, Li Binliang could clearly feel her breathing, and that kind of rare warmth was born in his heart. Affection. The night makes people depend on each other and also brings people closer.The two walked slowly in the darkness, unknowingly chatting about homework.By the way, she was the one who spoke first. She asked him about his family situation, how many people there were, how old was the child, which made him a little embarrassed, but the dark night made it easy for him to hide everything in his heart, and he pretended to be casual about himself. I talked about her situation, including the situation of living alone after divorce, and then asked her whether she was married or not, and her family situation. Unexpectedly, Miao Yu's answer was: "I'm not married yet!" not married? Li Binliang couldn't help being moved, and glanced at her in the dark, although he couldn't see her face clearly, but her mature and youthful temperament, her black eyes and graceful chin still made him feel Clear and perceptible.He was hot all over, and he scolded himself secretly: Li Binliang, what's wrong with you, what are you thinking, you have to be clear, she is not suitable for you, age, image, and temperament are not suitable for you, what you like is the one, it is tranquility The serene, unadorned kind... The image of Tranquility suddenly appeared in front of him in the darkness, and his heart felt sore again: But, she is gone, and you will never find her again... Unknowingly, there was a little distance between him and Miao Yu, but Miao Yu didn't feel anything, and soon walked very close to him, which made him feel psychedelic again, Also no longer dodge.However, he also stopped talking and just walked silently. Fortunately, they are gradually approaching the bustling area of ​​the county seat, the lights on the streets are getting brighter and more pedestrians are coming, and soon, they see the gorgeous lights again, and the dark suburban residential area has been left in the distance. The melancholy and complicated psychology also faded and disappeared.However, a man and a woman walking in silence are always a bit awkward, just when Li Binliang was determined to find something to talk about to break the silence, her cell phone rang quickly. He saw that she hurriedly took out her mobile phone to take a look, then a smile appeared on her face, she walked aside and put the mobile phone to her ear.Although she tried to speak as quietly as possible, Li Binliang still heard everything clearly: "It's me...what, you came to Shanyang too...here, it's too late, tomorrow...well, where am I...I don't know, anyway, there is an Internet cafe by the road, yes, it's called 'Xin Century Internet Café, come and pick me up!" Who's phone? Her expression and tone of voice are enough to explain everything. Li Binliang's heart calmed down. Miao Yu put down her phone and walked back, a little embarrassed: "Director Li, you go back first, I... have something to do. By the way, can you find the Public Security Bureau?" Li Binliang hastily said: "Yes, yes, that's good, you are busy with your work, see you later!" Miao Yu: "Okay, see you tomorrow!" The two waved goodbye. A brief psychedelic look and then disappeared. "Very good, this is very good." Li Binliang said to himself, turned around and walked quickly. However, after walking a certain distance, he couldn't help but look back at her, and stopped.他看到，一台闪光的高级轿车驶到她的身边，车内走出一个身材匀称、很有风度的青年男子，亲近地走近她，把她让进车内。 不用说，他肯定是她的男朋友。 李斌良摇摇头：咳，想这些干什么，这和你有什么关系！ 于是，他转回头，迈着坚定的步伐走去，再也没有回头。 二十分钟后，李斌良一个人回到山阳县公安局办公楼。天已晚，大楼内很静，只有值班室和刑警大队的两个窗子亮着灯。李斌良走上二楼，根据记忆，顺着走廊来到专案组办公室兼宿舍门外，拿出钥匙把门打开，抬腿要迈进去，可是，却突然停了下来。 不对劲儿，有人…… 他发根一立，刚要回头，已经晚了，后背被一个硬硬的东西顶住，一个冷冷的声音响起：“不许动，动就开枪！” 李斌良感觉到，顶着自己后背的确实是枪口，这……他马上反应过来：“哎，你保险打开没有？”背后的人见被识破，顿时哈哈大笑起来。 秦志剑。 两个人紧紧握手，拥抱。 秦志剑是清水市公安局刑警大队长，两人虽然不在一起工作，可是，由于性情相投，感情很好，每到一起，有说不完的话，更没有什么级别的拘束，身为刑警大队长的秦志剑总是直呼李斌良为“斌良”，李斌良则有时称他为秦大队，有时也叫他“志剑”。秦志剑的为人和能力都没的说，更是个工作狂人，和他在一起，嘴里说的总是案件，案件。但是，他也有不足之处，就是过于直言不讳，常说过头话，经常在无意间得罪了人，甚至得罪了上级领导，所以，也影响到自己的前途。 李斌良把秦志剑拉入室内，在灯光下打量着他。面貌没什么大的变化，只是头发中有了些许白茬，还是那么瘦，还是那么激情外露，握手有力。李斌良知道，他比自己才大两岁，可看上去却显老，好像四十大几的样子。李斌良问他什么时候到的，他说，本来应该早到，可被一个案子缠住了，好歹处理完撒开手，就搭个车赶来了，因为进不了屋，就等在门外，开了个玩笑。 李斌良又问起秦志剑个人的事情，听说，市局有意把他调到刑侦支队，就问有没有这事。秦志剑说有，可是，自己到现在还是股级，如果这样调走，在清水公安局这么多年就白干了，亏本不说，也太丢人，所以非要混个一官半职再调转不可。当然，秦志剑是不会把话题纠缠在他个人的事情上，很快就调转了话头：“哎，你出去干什么了，了解到什么情况没有，你怎么看这个案子？” 这就是秦志剑。李斌良知道，他和自己一样，早就在关注着这个案子，也和自己一样暗中渴望着投入到这个案件的侦破中来。现在，终于如愿以偿了。 李斌良把自己和苗雨去了现场又被人跟踪的事告诉了秦志剑。秦志剑大为惊讶：“有这种事，得重视啊，你告诉邱晓明了吗？”听说还没回话，立刻性急地拿出手机拨号，“哎，邱局，你在哪儿呢？李局长他们被人跟踪的事你知道了吧，你采取什么措施了，发现什么没有？” 邱晓明的声音从手机中传出来：“我在乡下办一个案子，明天回去。我已经给刑警大队打电话，他们正在附近走访，还没发现什么。也许李局长他们多心了，没什么事！” 秦志剑生气地：“没什么事，怎么一听是警察就跑？邱局，你别忘了你是刑侦副局长！” 邱晓明答非所问：“秦大队，时候不早了，你们休息吧，咱们明天再唠吧！” 邱晓明那边放了，秦志剑也只好放下手机，不满地对李斌良说：“这两年，邱晓明不知怎么了，越来越像个娘们儿，他从前不这样啊？！” 李斌良知道，秦志剑和邱晓明年纪相仿，也是同期的刑警，可是，邱晓明提拔得较快，现在已经是刑侦副局长，正科级，而秦志剑是刑警大队长，而且仍然是个股级干部。秦志剑很不服气，加之和邱晓明多年熟头熟脑，关系不外，所以，见面总是冷嘲热讽。邱晓明涵养很好，处处让着他。也难怪，论能力，人们普遍认为秦志剑要比邱晓明高得多，可他却在行政级别上硬是低了两级，好在他们不在一个单位工作，否则，秦志剑恐怕会气死。 秦志剑又问起李斌良对案件的看法，李斌良说看了一下午案卷，虽然没发现太有价值的线索，可是，有几点应该引起注意。说着把案卷从铁皮柜内拿出来给秦志剑：“你先看看再说吧，别受我的影响，看完后，咱们再谈各自的看法。” 秦志剑：“好吧，我就先看看……哎，你不是和苗雨一起出去的吗，她哪儿去了……对了，你还在打光棍吧，机会来了，哪天我给你们介绍一下，你也好好表现表现，把她拿下来！” 李斌良被秦志剑说得浑身不得劲儿，急忙地：“老兄，你把话说哪儿去了，我哪能配上她呀，再说了……” “怎么配不上？”秦志剑抢过话头，“你大学本科毕业，刑侦副局长，人正派，心肠好，业务能力也强，哪点配不上她？不就是离过婚吗……你别看她长得年轻，说起来也是三十出头的老姑娘了，还想找啥样的……你不知道，她原来就在我们清水公安局工作，我非常了解她，人长得漂亮不说，还有才，文章写得特别好。对了，她原来是个记者，就是因为爱写批评文章，得罪了领导，在电视台呆不下去了，调到我们局。那两年，我们局可以说是电视里有影，广播里有声，报刊上有名儿，全靠她了。可谁知她很快又干够了，说啥也要改行当刑警，可我们局里离不开她这支笔，说啥也不答应，她一怒之下，找了林局长，调到了市局刑侦支队，终于当上了刑警，先是内勤，后来上了重案队，风风火火的，干得相当不错……” 在秦志剑的讲述中，李斌良终于明白了，为什么觉得她的名字熟，原来，从前在报刊上看过她的文章，当时，对她的才情还挺佩服的，想不到，那个作者是她，而且，现在还和她进了一个专案组。 秦志剑继续讲着：“就因为她是这样一个人，有性格，眼眶子又高，高不成低不就，到现在也没有对象……我看，你们俩挺般配的，你虽然比她大几岁，可是，男的比女的大点正常，我就比我媳妇大七岁。这可是天赐良机，你一定把她拿下来，我也会大力帮忙，抽空我跟她谈……” 李斌良急忙地：“别别，你可千万别谈，人家已经有对象了！” 秦志剑一愣：“你说什么？她有对象了？谁，你怎么知道的？” 李斌良把刚才看到的一幕讲了一遍。 秦志剑：“这……她才离开清水多长时间哪，怎么这么快就处上了，你知道那个男的是干什么的吗？” 李斌良摇头：“不知道，我只是远远看了一眼，开着高级轿车，形象不错，也很有气质。” 秦志剑沉默片刻：“那也没什么，一家女百家求，他们不是还没结婚嘛，可以公平竞争嘛！咱们都是刑警，又在一个专案组，你有自己的优势，要抓住战机，把她拿下来，就这么定了。天不早了，你先睡，我看看案卷。” 秦志剑就这样，快人快语。像下命令似的说完，就拧亮床头的台灯，闭了天棚上的日光灯，看起案卷来。 李斌良脱衣上床，闭上了眼睛，一时之间，他脑海里乱哄哄的，浮现在眼前的一会儿是案卷上残忍的照片，一会儿是碰到的疯子和跟踪的人影，一会儿，又是苗雨的形象，和她并肩行走在夜幕中的情景，还有那辆高级轿车，那个男人……她怎么到现在还不回来，难道，她今夜不回来了？那她会在哪儿过夜……直到听到走廊里传来轻轻的脚步声，听到脚步在自己的门口停了一下又走过去，接着，隔壁传来开门的声音，他才觉得一颗心放了下来，并很快在秦志剑翻动案卷的声响中，进入梦乡。 非常奇怪的是，他做了一个温馨的梦，梦到了宁静……
