Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tracing on a Rainy Night (I)
Coming out of the office building of the Public Security Bureau, the originally clear and dry night suddenly changed its face at some point, and the air humidity gradually increased. The two of us got into Li Lu's jeep, he didn't mean to drive away in a hurry, just leaned on the seat cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, occasionally looking at his mobile phone, probably waiting for Zhu Sijia to send the location over.
The ghost knows why he's here again, instead of lying on the couch at home watching the show. But to be honest, people, in their bones, are a little bit of a bully and afraid of the hard, so in the face of the police comrades who represent rights and systems, especially his unpredictable style of work, I still spinelessly chose to obey.
I rolled down the window, the wind rustled the leaves overhead, and sporadic rains drifted on my face, full of kindness.
"When I went to Cao Ke's apartment, I noticed that her passbook had a large amount of deposits recently, or you should follow this line to check and see the changes in her bank account", I suddenly remembered that there were photos taken at that time in my mobile phone, and hurriedly found them and showed them to Li Lu.
"I have already checked this line, and the bank monitoring shows that she was holding cash for the deposit business at the time, and there was no other abnormality in the mobile banking, and the clues were interrupted. Li Lu supported his head with his right hand, did not open his eyes, pressed his fingers on his temples, and rubbed them gently. I've seen him do this a lot.
"Okay...... I wanted to contribute a little more, but it didn't help, so I changed the subject, "You seem to like rubbing your temples, you have migraines?"
"Fortunately, sometimes I have a headache when I think about things for a long time, so this can be relieved a little. ”
"Well, massaging the temples gives a benign stimulation to the brain and can help with concentration. "I recalled my father's teachings in the past, after all, the family of Heavenly Masters, although they are not skilled in business, but they have a lot of knowledge from the sidelines. "Migraine, acupuncture treatment, the effect will be better. ”
"You know a lot. Li Lu kept his posture, his eyes drifting out of the window, and praised me slightly perfunctorily.
"I understand a little, isn't the best state to be up to the point", I maintained the humility of not panicking if I was less than half a bottle, "Because I concealed some information before, although it was harmless, it did bring difficulties to your work, and I will teach you a set of professional massage techniques as compensation another day......"
"Drop", before my voice fell, Li Lu's mobile phone suddenly rang, presumably because he had received a new message. He sat up straight and pressed the lock screen to check it out.
Scarlett sent the location over. You see, the location of the last signal transmitted by Guan Xue's mobile phone before shutting down is nearby, between the three base stations. Li Lu enlarged the picture information sent and pointed it out to me as he spoke. I hurriedly leaned my head over - I was now a consultant, and I had a responsibility to defend the territory, and I couldn't miss out on key information.
The picture marks the location of the three signal base stations, the surrounding field of vision is wide, there are very few buildings, and there is a gray building in the area where the respective signal range coincides, without indicating the function, but looking at the area covered, it should be a warehouse or factory. The building is surrounded by wasteland on three sides, with a road on the east side, and a large area of green space on the other side of the road, which seems to be a wetland park.
"This place is a bit familiar...... I remember that there is a national wetland park in the Zhakou area, which is inhabited by red-crowned cranes, and there is a road like this next to it. "In the summer, I went there once in the middle of the night and took pictures of beautiful fireflies.
"Well, it looks like it's over there. Li Lu agreed, "The land opposite the wetland park was originally planned as a new energy demonstration park, but the plan was not launched, and now most of it is still wasteland. ”
"If it's here...... "If the mobile phone appears in this kind of place, I'm afraid there will be a lot of bad luck."
"Just take a look at it. He didn't guess the result of Guan Xue in vain, but stepped on the accelerator directly.
It's now past eight o'clock in the evening, and the evening rush hour continues to heat up, with long queues of convoys on many key road sections, and successive rear taillights like a string of New Year's lanterns. The originally gentle night rain became heavier and heavier, and in a short time, the raindrops the size of beans raged the whole city, like a beast undressed in disguise, flamboyant and unscrupulous.
Li Lu turned on the jeep's wipers, and through the hazy front windshield, he could see a layer of white, plain gauze-like water vapor splashing from the front of the car. In the lane next to us, a bus was parked just out of the stop, crowded with passengers, and the passengers on the platform behind us who had not been able to squeeze into the bus were drenched and frustrated, cursing at the sudden rainstorm.
"It was raining quite heavily, I thought it was just a little bit of rain. ”
"Autumn, autumn in this city loves to rain, every year. I remember that the year before last was also at this time, it rained almost every day, the dam in the lower reaches of the Nanling River burst, flooding several farms, and I also went to participate in the flood relief", Li Luo was not surprised by the rain, calmly put the steering wheel, waiting for the red light countdown at the intersection ahead to end, "By the way, where are you from?"
"Me...... Anyway, it's from a far away place, and the climate is not the same as you have here. I pretended to be calm, but I was actually panicked in my heart, so I quickly changed the topic, "It's really inconvenient to travel on this rainy day...... Hey, it's green, look at it...... "Thank you for the traffic light that saved me from the disaster."
After a few stops and stops, we drove out of the city and onto the ring road. The dipped beams illuminate the water that gathers on the road and the splashes that splash in the water, and the dark clouds in the sky overhead are eerie and faintly lit by lightning. When I was a child, I thought that the night was always the same black, but later I realized that even if it is black, there are a hundred kinds of heartbeat differences.
After driving along the ring road for about 20 minutes, a ramp for left turns suddenly branched out in front of me, and when I looked along the ramp, I could vaguely see a two-story building standing not far away. Li Lu descended the ramp down the ring road and gradually drove towards the building, which was hidden in the dark night without moonlight, like a cloud of fog.
"It should be here", Li Lu stopped the car, and the end of the ramp was replaced by a dirt road, which seemed to have stopped before the repair was completed. In front of the car was the gate of the building, and by the light of the headlights, I was able to see it in real terms. It was indeed a factory, but it had fallen into disrepair, and its doors were closed and rusty, and the rain trickled down the eaves, forming a curtain of rain.
"Bring a flashlight. ”
"There's something in the car," Li Lu lifted the bezel in front of the passenger seat, took out two flashlights, and handed me one of them. It's as long as a forearm, so it should be much better than last night's mini.
"Do you have an umbrella in your car?" There is still some distance from our car to the eaves, and if it rains, it will definitely be poured into soup.
Li Lu shook his head, took off his coat, and handed it to me, "There is no umbrella." You use this to block the point, these few steps, aggrieved. Before I could speak, he opened the door and got out of the car. The rain quickly drenched his hair, and he pointed out the window to the factory gate and motioned for me to go first.
I took his clothes and looked out the window at the torrential rain on the Jinge Iron Horse, and my heart hesitated. His clothes remained fresh and dry, and even after two days of wearing them closely, they were still warm and did not smell strange.
Li Luo had already run to the shelter from the rain, shook off the rain on his body, and stood under the eaves and waved to me. I put my heart on top of my head and prepared to be baptized by the rainstorm.
