"Mrs. Li really does her best and does her best. Li Shanghan hooked the corners of his lips wickedly, glanced sideways at the woman beside him slightly, and felt slightly satisfied.

At least this time, she immediately thought of asking him for help.

"Mr. Li, then you agreed?" Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked softly.

"Well, I'll find a time to let Xue Yancheng know. Li Shanghan lowered his deep eyes, and his voice was cold, "Don't worry, it will be in the name of the lawyer." ”

Inadvertently, these few words actually made Qiu Lan feel a little warmth in her heart.

This cold-faced iceberg seems to be a little bit empathetic.

Two days later, in the morning, the bustling city slowly woke up in a mist, Qiu Lan got up early and opened the curtains, with a sweet smile to welcome the morning sun.

After washing and walking the dog for breakfast, she walked through the rules of daily life before she changed her clothes and left.

When leaving, the room where Li Shanghan lived was still quiet.

In the Criminal Investigation Building of the Police Bureau, Qiu Lan walked into the office with the workbox and Xiao Cong, and the people from the Serious Crime Team and the Forensic Department were already waiting.

After a brief greeting, Xu Chengyan took out a sketch, which was a portrait of a man.

"Doctor Qiu, Specialist Cao, the reason why you are here so early today is because there has been a new development in the case of the seventh corpse. He pursed his lips and glanced at the portrait behind him with a serious expression, "This is the latest suspect." ”

In the next ten minutes, Xu Chengyan told them all the latest information about the case.

Two days ago in the laboratory, after Qiu Lan confirmed the identity of the deceased and the information of the year, he took Pei Pei and Xiao Tiao to find the community where Zou Kai lived.

After asking around, they were lucky to find the master who worked as a security guard at the gate eight years ago, because Zou Kai and Mi Xiaohong are usually friendly and polite, but there was a murder case suddenly, so it left a deep impression on his heart.

According to him, a few days before that incident, Zou Kai and Mi Xiaohong suddenly came back one day with a very well-behaved little girl, and he also asked a few questions, and Zou Kai explained that it was a relative's child who came to play.

But it wasn't long before he saw another man.

This person often comes to Zou Kai's family, and he looks strange and iconic, so he always remembers it.

According to his description, Xu Chengyan found someone to draw this fat man, with a big beard on his face, and a black mole at the corner of his eyebrows.

In the end, after comparison, they found a very similar person in the file, and this person happened to be related to the boatman in this case.

It turned out that they were boatmen sailing at the same pier.

There are too many coincidences, so that this short and fat man has become an important connection point between two completely unrelated people in the whole case, and has also become a key clue in this case.

After a brief description, the three giants of the criminal investigation department left the police station in a police car and rushed to the bay port wharf where the deceased boatman worked.

The sea breeze blew on the dock, and there was a burst of sodium chloride smell, and Qiu Lan and his party got out of the car in the parking lot of the dock and walked into the dock side by side.

At the management office of the wharf, Xu Chengyan found the person in charge.

"Hello, I am Xu Chengyan, the leader of the serious crime team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He took out his police ID card and displayed it in front of the person in charge, and said righteously, "There was a capsizing incident here a few days ago, and I have a few questions I want to know from you." ”

"Okay, just ask, and I'll answer you. The person in charge pursed his lips and nodded his head.

"Hmm. Xu Chengyan replied solemnly, and then took out the previous drawing, "Do you know the man on this? It should be the boatman who works here." ”

"This?" The person in charge frowned slightly, staring intently at the man on the drawing, thinking carefully for a while, and finally nodded hesitantly, "It's a bit like Li Gang, but I'm not sure." ”

Li Gang?

Qiu Lan, who was standing outside the office, silently wrote down the name and glanced around.

"Officer, we have a register here, you can see if there is anyone you are looking for. The person in charge opened the drawer, took out a worn-out file book and placed it on the table.

"Good. Xu Chengyan took the thing and looked through it carefully.

As he flipped to one of the pages, he stopped his movements and fixed his eyes on one of the ID photos.

The man in this photograph is similar to the person in the drawing, except that he has no beard, but the stubble on his mouth and cheeks is still faintly visible.

"This is Li Gang, right?"

"Yes. The person in charge glanced at the photo above and nodded affirmatively.

"Where is he now?" Xu Chengyan frowned and said in a cold voice.

"He? He went through the resignation procedures early this morning, saying that an old man in his hometown had passed away and wanted to go back to do business. The person in charge pursed his thin lips lightly, and his tone was calm.

"You can ask for leave if you have something, why do you want to resign?" Pei Pei lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you think he wants to run away?"

"Quite possibly. Xu Chengyan sighed heavily and put down the file book in his hand, "Pei Pei, inform the traffic police brigade that at the intersections of various roads, it is important to find this man named Li Gang." ”

At this moment, Qiu Lan, who had been standing next to her, raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Officer Xu, I want to find him, it may not take much effort." ”

She pursed her red lips and stared deeply at the figure of a man not far away.

"Officer Xu, the man in the coffee-colored plaid shirt standing in front of the dock over there should be the person we are looking for. ”

A cross-border ferry is slowly approaching, and the boarding board has been removed from the cabin.

If he didn't dare to go, the man might have gotten on the boat and left.

"Quick, go over and stop that guy. Xu Chengyan led people over without a moment's hesitation.

He trusts Qiu Lan's insight and judgment 100 percent.

Rushing to the ferry, Shitaka and Kojo intercepted the man just before he got on board.

Sure enough, it was the man!

"Li Gang, where are you going to leave in such a hurry?" Xu Chengyan glanced at him coldly and asked sharply.

"I, I have something to do, I want to go back to my hometown. The short and fat man lowered his eyes in a panic, rolled his Adam's apple up and down uneasily, and his voice trembled a little, "You have, what's the matter?"

"I am Xu Chengyan, the leader of the serious crime team, and now I suspect that you have something to do with a case and need your assistance in the investigation, so you may not be able to leave for the time being. Xu Chengyan frowned slightly, and his tone was stiff.

"Officer, I, how could I have anything to do with the case? Besides, there is an urgent matter in my hometown. The man kept touching the tip of his nose, his lips kept opening and closing, and his eyes were still misty, and he never dared to look at the person in front of him.

Such a weak expression and behavior has a professional term in psychology: the theory of lying psychological behavior.
