There were a few loud bangs, and the door was finally smashed. ⊙，

A group of mermaids rushed in. Xu Yan was the first to walk in the head. He glanced at the living room: it was very rudimentary, an old sofa, an old color television, a few scattered chairs, the living room looked empty, and the furniture was covered with dust.

The criminal policeman who protested against Xu Yan was called "Lao Zhang", and after he came in, he glanced at the living room and judged very experiencedly: "This is a house specially rented out to people - at least no one lives in it for a month." ”

Xu Yan assigned everyone to act: "Platoon Commander Liu, you take two brothers and go into the bedroom to have a look; Officer Zhang, you take a look at the kitchen and bathroom; Huang Xi, you and Xiaobao take a look at the guest room and balcony - pay attention, put the gun in a convenient place where it can be pulled out at any time, and don't leave it out wherever you can hide people, if there is anything wrong, call for support quickly!"

Hearing Xu Yan's assignment order, everyone responded and quickly obeyed the order, and even Officer Zhang, who was a little dissatisfied with Xu Yan's order before, did not have any objections.

Seeing that everyone acted according to orders, Xu Yan was also relieved: although he pretended to be very calm, he had never even been the leader of a study group from elementary school to university, and he had never had the experience of commanding others, and this was the first time in his life that he could give orders independently.

Soon, the personnel in charge of searching the various rooms reported that nothing unusual had been found in the room, and no one had been seen - it was a completely empty house.

Xu Yan nodded, and led everyone out the door—as he passed by the smashed door, Xu Yan stopped and stared at the broken wooden door for a while. And then. He didn't say anything and walked out in silence.

Fortunately, Xu Yan's bad luck seems to have been exhausted in room 1701. In the next few rooms such as 1702, 1703, and 1704, the search work went smoothly. The residents of 1702 are a retired elderly couple. In 1704, a few men and women from other places who were engaged in art were mixed together, and they all opened the door happily and let the police enter the house to check - Xu Yan didn't look carefully, he knew that Wang Zhongmao was the kind of monster who was extremely hateful to humans, and if he was allowed to enter the house, it would be impossible for the family to survive. But the reverse can also be true, as long as there are living people, it will not be Wang Zhongmao's hiding place.

Then. Xu Yan quickly searched room 1704. The police knocked on the door for a while, and someone in the door quickly responded, and a young male voice shouted, "It's coming, it's coming...... Who's delivering the package, right? It's noon, noisy people to take a lunch break, it's really not the right time!"

The door opened, and a head poked out of the iron gate, but it was a sleepy-eyed young man with pajamas on his body. The door opened. Suddenly seeing so many soldiers and policemen with loaded guns outside the door, the young man's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened wide, and the sleepiness was long gone.

"So much-police?!Is there a mistake!" Before Xu Yan could speak. The young man was already speaking in a trembling voice: "No...... What did I do? I just got on the yellow net...... That's why you've come to arrest me?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then let out a burst of cheerful laughter in unison, Xu Yan shook his head and sighed: From this shivering young man otaku. He seemed to see himself yesterday.

Xu Yan asked the young man about the situation, asking him about his name, occupation and family status. The young man replied in a trembling voice: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Kai...... I live here by myself. This is the house I rented, and I'm still studying...... Yes, I'm in my third year at Jingcheng University of Technology and Business...... Uh, my student ID is lost in my room, do you want me to go back and get it?"

Xu Yan shook his head, but asked him, "Is there anyone else in the family?"

For a moment, the college student surnamed Zhou showed a hint of pinching on his face, and then, he hurriedly said: "There is no one else, just ...... myself"

Xu Yan frowned slightly-although he was not a very experienced old agent, he could also hear that the guy in front of him was obviously lying. He turned his head and whispered to a few criminal policemen behind him: "Lao Zhang, you go in and take a look and see what is in the room—hey, Zhou Kai, don't move, just stand here." ”

Several criminal policemen pushed the door in response, and the old criminal policeman surnamed Zhang was particularly cautious, and he also pulled out a pistol from his waist and went in with both hands in his hand. Zhou Kai originally wanted to protest, but when he saw the criminal policemen pulling out their guns in their hands, he didn't dare to speak out so cautiously, so he could only say anxiously: "Alas, the government, don't go in, don't go in......"

While speaking, several criminal policemen with guns had already pushed the door into the bedroom, only to hear a woman's scream of "wow" from inside, and everyone saw that several criminal policemen who had entered quickly ran out of the room, and their bodies looked a little embarrassed.

Criminal Police Zhang ran back and reported to Xu Yan: "Captain Xu, there is a woman in the bedroom, and she looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen ......years old" He glanced at Zhou Kai, who was standing next to him and was nervous, and said with a smile: "I wear very few clothes." ”

Zhou Kai's face turned red all of a sudden, but at this time, he became stubborn and shouted: "That's right, this is my girlfriend, we live together - it's not illegal, right?"

This waste scumbag otaku suddenly became arrogant and tough, but Xu Yan was surprised, and for a while, he really didn't know how to deal with it, and he was stunned at the scene. Fortunately, Officer Zhang was more experienced, and when he saw that the other party had a tendency to get mad, he immediately interrupted and said in a deep voice: "Young man, what are you yelling at? When did we say that you broke the law? Routine inspection, this is a routine public security inspection to check the foreign population and rectify the phenomenon of group renting, do you understand? You two, both of you take out your ID cards and student IDs!"

The young man muttered back to his bedroom and waited for a while to come out, holding two ID cards and student ID cards that belonged to him and her girlfriend. Officer Zhang rolled his eyes a few times, frowned, and said: "The third-year and e-commerce department of the Beijing University of Science and Technology and Commerce? You are living together outside like this, and the school doesn't care? I'll make a phone call and ask your school to go - you go back to the institute with me, and call your school leaders to pick up people!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan couldn't help but admire the shrewdness and experience of this old criminal policeman - sure enough, as soon as Lao Zhang's words came out. The young man named Zhou Kai suddenly turned pale with fright, and the arrogant complexion just now suddenly disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Brother policeman, uncle policeman." Uncle policeman, just let us go! Let the school take us back, let everyone around us know, how can you let me and her go back to meet people? Just now I was not good, I made a mistake, I was wrong, I was foul, I was foul, I was foul, I should be beaten, I should be beaten! Uncle policeman. You just let us go, and don't take us back to the school, okay?"

The officer Zhang snorted: "Whether I take you back or not, I don't count, our leader said it-Captain Xu, you decide: do you want to bring them back?"

Seeing Lao Zhang like this, Xu Yanxin was secretly amused - although this old Zhang officer seemed to be a little pedantic. But people are quite interesting. Although he was dissatisfied with himself, his attitude towards his work was very serious, and he did not watch funny jokes or stumble himself on the opportunity, but tried his best to help himself.

It's not about people. This kind of serious and down-to-earth work style of the older generation is now rare.

Xu Yan pretended to say, "Zhou Kai, do I want to take you back." It's all about your own attitude......"

Seeing Xu Yan, who was about the same age as himself and dressed in civilian clothes, he was actually the leader of so many military and police officers present. Zhou Kai was really taken aback that day, and heard that his tone was negotiable. That Zhou Kai hurriedly said: "I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate! Please rest assured!"

"Well, have you always lived here?"

"It's been ...... these days I usually like to stay at home, eat, drink, call and order takeout, buy it on Taobao if I need anything, and rarely go out. ”

Xu Yan grinned—he remembered his past again. He asked, "Well, in the past few days, you have lived here, have you noticed anything unusual around you—I mean neighbors up and down?"

"Abnormal situation?" Zhou Kai was stunned: "Leader, what are you talking about?"

"In the past few days, have any of your neighbors behaved abnormally? For example, which one often goes out for a walk or work in the morning, and he hasn't been seen going out these days? Or has the neighbor been fighting, noisy, or making loud noises?"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Zhou Kai frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head, and said with a sad face: "Leader, you know, I usually stay at home, I don't know the neighbors around me, and I don't usually have any interactions, what they do, whether they want to go to work or take a walk, I don't know or pay attention to this! You ask me this, I really can't answer." ”

Hearing Zhou Kai say this, Xu Yan didn't feel any surprise - just look at his house appearance, it must be a standard template that doesn't listen to things outside the house. He shook his head in disappointment, shook his head at Officer Lao Zhang and said, "It seems that this guy can't ask anything, and it's of little use to us." ”

Xu Yan said so casually, he originally meant to give up this otaku and leave, but when he heard these words in Zhou Kai's ears, he was greatly startled: It's useless? Could it be that he said that he didn't know, so he annoyed the chief, and they were about to take himself and his girlfriend back to the police station?

In a hurry, Zhou Kai hurriedly said: "Hey, leader, don't worry, I suddenly thought of something...... Yes, yes, it was last night, last night, about one o'clock in the evening, I was watching a movie with my girlfriend on the Internet, and suddenly I heard a strange sound from upstairs, as if someone was fighting, something ping-pong smashed on the ground, it seemed that there was a woman shouting for help, but she only shouted and there was no sound, so I didn't pay much attention at that time. ”

Hearing this clue, Xu Yan was suddenly shocked, he took a step forward, and drank: "Are you sure? You heard the voice correctly, right?"

"I heard it right! Because my girlfriend was also by my side at that time, and she also asked me, saying, "Kaizi, did you hear a woman shouting for help?"

"Then, since you know that someone is shouting for help, why don't you call the police?"

Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, he was a little afraid to look at Xu Yan: "This, we can't make trouble, did you hear the wrong voice...... Maybe it's someone watching a movie, it's the sound in the movie? Or maybe it's a couple of people arguing and fighting. Female shouting for help is also common...... And. We only heard a few calls, and we didn't know where they were coming from. I can't determine the location, and I don't know which family it is, so we call the police casually, isn't that a waste of police resources?"

This otaku Zhou Kai found a bunch of reasons to explain, but Xu Yan and everyone present vaguely guessed that the real reason was probably that this guy was lazy and didn't want to meddle.

Xu Yan asked, "Can you be sure where this cry for help came from?"

"I'm not sure...... But vaguely, it seems to be coming from the top floor, right?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment. He turned around and called his assistant Huang Xi: "Xiao Huang, you go in, ask the woman, ask her that night, when you heard the voice shouting for help, can you be sure where it came from?" Zhou Kai, you take our Officer Huang in. ”

Huang Xi stood up in response and followed Zhou Kai in. Then, a few minutes passed. She came out of it and shook her head at Xu Yan: "That girl can't be sure where the voice came from, but she said it more specifically, it was more than twelve twenty last night." I heard a female voice shouting for help, it should have been a voice from the direction of upstairs, as if she had shouted twice. ”

For this new clue discovered. Everyone was excited. Everyone sent Zhou Kai home, just in the corridor. The people took counsel in a circle. Xu Yan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "What thoughts and opinions do you have?" Let's talk about it!"

Everyone also looked at him, their eyes were bright, but no one squeaked.

Seeing the silence of the scene, Xu Yan was suddenly embarrassed - when the leaders on TV held a meeting, the chief waved his hand: "If the comrades have any ideas, let's talk about them!", and then, the comrades spoke freely happily and put forward a lot of opinions or suggestions, and then the chief made a decision according to the opinions of the comrades - I didn't expect that when it was his turn to cosplay the leader, no one bought it.

In fact, this is also Xu Yan's thinking about the problem too simply: if everyone is a familiar colleague in the same unit, when encountering a problem, it is indeed possible to speak freely and discuss together. But the problem is that there are so many people present, from all different units - there are Nancheng District Public Security Bureau, there are armed police, there are military intelligence systems, everyone is not familiar with it at all, in the face of so many strangers, and in the face of a hairy boy leader who does not know and looks very unreliable, who will casually express their opinions?

Everyone is worried that in the face of so many people from other units, if they say something wrong, it won't be a joke in public?

There was silence for a while, Xu Yan was embarrassed, and at this time, a female voice sounded: "Team Leader Xu, can I say something?"

At this time, someone relieved himself, and Xu Yan was immediately overjoyed. When he saw that it was his assistant Huang Xi who was speaking, he understood in his heart: Sure enough, his own people are reliable, and Huang Xi is here to help him out of the siege!

"Okay, Lieutenant Huang, tell me about it, just say it, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, it's okay!"

"Okay. Huang Xi was dressed in a military uniform today, and her figure looked very graceful and graceful with a straight light green military uniform, and she said in a deep voice: "Captain Xu, comrades, I think that the clues of these two young people are very important, I suggest, should we adjust the focus of the search, and leave the 17th floor alone, let's search the 18th and 19th floors upstairs first?"

In fact, Xu Yan also thought of this idea, and he approved: "Okay, this idea is good, I'll look at it - do you have any other opinions?"

With the first person to take the lead, the next one to follow. Immediately afterwards, Platoon Commander Liu of the armed police also spoke up: "Captain Xu, I think that the voice coming from upstairs may not be from the 18th floor - Zhou Kai and his girlfriend both said that the voice of shouting for help was not loud, if it was a cry for help from the 18th floor, it should be heard very clearly." I wonder if it's the sound coming from the 19th or 20th floors or even higher?"

Xu Yan also nodded: "Platoon Commander Liu's idea is also very reasonable, but there are still several layers on it, how can you determine which layer is coming from?"

Platoon Commander Liu smiled honestly, revealing his white teeth: "This, I don't know - I just have such an idea, if you want to determine which layer, you still have to ask the leaders to discuss." ”

At that moment, everyone began to talk about it. Some people proposed to start from the eighteenth floor and conduct a comprehensive search, but others said that it would take at least dozens of rooms to search in this way, which was too long, but if you asked him what to do, he couldn't come up with a good way.

Xu Yan noticed that when everyone was talking, several criminal policemen from the Nancheng Public Security Bureau did not speak, but exchanged glances one by one, as if they were also discussing silently with their eyes.

Xu Yan then remembered that in this field, these experienced old criminal policemen are the real experts. He couldn't help but say aloud: "Officer Zhang, there are a few other comrades, do you have any opinions? ”

Several criminal policemen exchanged glances, and Officer Zhang coughed dryly: "Captain Xu, you are thinking about it, the one who shouted for help was entered into the house by the fugitive and committed murder, right?"

"Well, exactly!"

"But in the middle of the night, this fugitive doesn't have a key, how did he get into the resident's room?"

Xu Yan was stunned, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Will it be ...... He's like us, violently breaking down doors?"

"It can't be a violent breakdown. Officer Zhang looked confident: "Captain Xu, you must notice that on the night of the incident, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, most of the people were resting, and the surroundings were very quiet. At this time, slamming the door, the surrounding neighbors will hear it, and many people will call the police. (To be continued......)
