The case of Meng Biao's disappearance was officially dropped.

The institute sent a letter to apply for cancellation of the case in the form of an official document.

Xu Jingnan sat in his framed desk dejectedly, staring blankly at the computer in front of his face, everything was over, it was all over, it was due to fantasy, bursting like a colorful mottled bubble, and the detective dream of a down-and-out little forensic doctor came and went without a trace, and became no suspense with the self-return of the missing person.

The sound of the director slapping the table and scolding his mother constantly stimulated his nerve endings, although the director was just muttering and complaining.

It turns out that all seemingly reasonable inferences are speculations out of thin air, and pure theories do not hold up at all, and now the preconditions are not suddenly gone.

He hatefully tapped the mouse and keyboard, ashamed of his greed for fame, regretted his shallow knowledge, and felt pain for his own self-righteousness, yes, how could I rely on pie in the sky to make a fortune when I almost didn't graduate, isn't this a pipe dream?

Two hours passed in idleness, he didn't do anything but was in a daze, and he wasn't allowed to play games during work hours, otherwise he really wanted to reminisce about that classic Windows game - Minesweeper.

Gotta play 10,000 rays, he thought.

The mobile phone vibrated for a moment, he took it out slowly, impatiently unlocked it with his fingerprint, and a message came, but it was sent by the inexplicable and suspicious Zhou Wengang: Brother Xu, I have an important situation report, is it convenient to meet.

Xu Jingnan smiled coldly, and casually put his mobile phone on the side of the keyboard, this boring person surnamed Zhou was the one who led himself astray, what would he want to do.

At this time, he just wants to be quiet, he is about to get off work, and he still has chores at hand, but he doesn't want to do anything, the emptiness and loss after the high degree of excitement are not something that everyone can understand, not to mention that he just came to this police station, and he can't talk about any bosom friends for the time being.

Xu Jingnan suddenly decided to go for a drink to relieve his boredom.

Zi said: How to solve worries, only Du Kang!

Just in the northeast of the police station, about 500 meters away from the entrance of the police station, there is also a street of clothing, food, housing and transportation, the official name is Park Road, it is said that it is named after a small park that has been abandoned many years ago; Piles of cow dung can often be seen here and there on the side of the street, and although they are cleaned up regularly, the smell wafts over the park road forever.

Xu Jingnan is a little uncomfortable with this taste, he has been to the police station for more than half a year, naturally he has heard of this place, but he has never set foot in it, there are supermarkets, service agencies, and mobile phone business halls next to the police station, which is more than enough to meet his daily life; However, when he walked into the street, he soon found that it seemed to be much more lively than the market next to the institute, although the whole cow street is only 200-300 meters, but there are many shops on both sides, and the planning is quite elegant, needless to say, Boone Village has invested a lot, if you don't tell you where it is, you may think that this is in the middle of the township.

As far as he knows, the total population of Boone Village is only about 3,000-4,000 people, and this is still the data added by the old, weak, women and children.

There are two relatively large restaurants in Niu Shi Street, one is called Changsheng Restaurant, the other is called Lelai Restaurant, although it is not as good as the modern hotel in the big city, but it can be called the top in the ordinary township; Changsheng Restaurant is at the entrance of the street, there is an independent courtyard behind its own door, the small courtyard is not only a parking lot, but also a small park, there are not many people in and out, but obviously they are all characters with some status, usually the restaurant likes to hang the red lantern, and it is always red at night; Lelai Restaurant is on the side of the road in the middle of the street, and the limited parking space is often full of blocking the road, and the exterior decoration of the restaurant is very general, it can only be said that it is barely passableWhen Xu Jingnan passed by these parking spaces, he glanced at it casually, and was surprised to find that it was actually a BMW Mercedes-Benz Audi, and there was a brand-new Ferrari sports car in the gap around the corner, he looked at the door of the restaurant coldly, the customers were bustling, so lively, quite funny, the signboard at the door actually wrote a quite localized neon word: Lelai seafood stall.

Needless to say, this is the real signature of Lelai Restaurant.

But what was so remarkable about the seafood here that it was so attractive? He wanted to go in and have a look, but in the end he gave up, and he was a little too shy to be sure.

There are more than a dozen small restaurants on the street, but he just wants to drink a few bottles of beer and smoke a few cigarettes today, so there are glass doors with air conditioning all skipped, and soon went straight to the end of the small street, where there are several local hot pot restaurants, when he walked in, the store was already full of people, most of them were workers in blue uniforms, he realized, there must be a factory nearby, but I don't know what type of factory, as a police officer, I really don't have to work hard to understand the social situation, otherwise how can I know nothing.

This makes sense, many questions turned out to be quite simple answers, just like the cause of this luxurious version of the street, China's factories may have tens of thousands of workers in many cases, so this small street may be shabby again; Boone You Village is actually dominated by workers, and the locals are a minority, he feels that this trip does not seem to be in vain, but just think about it, what does this matter have to do with him.

This hot pot restaurant is mainly engaged in pork belly and chicken, the boss didn't even take out the menu, and asked directly how many catties, about a few people, did you book which table, Xu Jingnan opened his mouth for a long time and didn't answer, he couldn't say that he was alone, would the boss think he was sick, so he said nonsense about three people, the boss nodded, then a pound of pork belly is enough, you can't eat more, turn around and walk simply.

Xu Jingnan picked the smallest tabletop, but it was also the size of a table for five or six people, and he sat there alone a little funny, with a ring-shaped iron sheet in the center of the table, and soon he understood that this was for a charcoal stove, because the boss had already lifted it, and at the same time put on a covered pot, and there was still hot gas inside.

Xu Jingnanqi said: "Boss, have I done it just now?"

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is also wearing blue overalls, probably he is a worker during the day, and he becomes the boss at night.

The boss smiled: "I can't eat it yet, although I have stewed it once, but the taste is not good, you turn on the fire, and the pot will be boiled in about a quarter of an hour." Your first time here, officer. He said casually.

Xu Jingnan was shocked for no reason, he was wearing civilian clothes, how could the boss see it.

"How do you know I'm a police officer?"

The boss smiled honestly: "You always like to ask the same question, there are only a few acquaintances in the whole village, and there are a few young people, how can you not see it." But you're a new transfer, officer, right?"

Xu Jingnan really didn't think that his identity could be seen through at a glance, he remembered that the teacher once said that it is best to be a police officer with a public face, and you can't find that kind in the crowd, otherwise it will be difficult to become an excellent policeman, of course, the forensic doctor can not have such a requirement, he laughed at himself in his heart.

In this situation, how much like the emperor who had no clothes, he always thought that everyone couldn't see it, but in fact, he was the only one in the dark, he waved his hand, indicating that he knew, and the boss said in a funny way, Xu Jingnan ordered a dozen beers.

His mind suddenly moved: "Are there any other specialties?"

The boss said: "We have tequia here, it is fried very crispy and crispy, do you want to order one? ”

Xu Jingnan nodded and said that he would have a copy.

When he lifted the lid of the pot, he realized that he was wrong, is this a pound of pork belly? A pot full of meat! It turned out that the pork belly was just an ingredient, and there were at least three or four catties of chicken in the pot, and he glanced at the fried tequia that had just been served and the 12 bottles of beer on the table, and smiled bitterly in his heart, boss, do you want to be so generous, everything is a large portion.

Xu Jingnan felt as if his appetite had been suppressed.

I only blame myself for coming out too little, these people who are from technical backgrounds, their social experience is really too shallow, and they are not very willing to interact with people, I don't know why, he unconsciously thought of Zhou Wengang and Meng Biao, this is not also two people who only know how to bow their heads and pull a car, and don't know how to look up at the road.

Society is the best teacher, that's true, let's learn from teachers in the future.

He sighed, no longer futile and futile for his own sake, and drank a bar—

A crisp sound of the can ring pulling gave him an extremely simple comfort, and after a few sips of a bottle of beer, he quickly began to get hot all over, and all his thoughts were immediately thrown away, wine, it was really a good thing.

Actually, being young is really a good thing, Xu Jingnan naturally doesn't think like this, because he is still young.

He only knew that he was not depressed anymore.

"Officer, your friend is here and has been standing at the door for a long time, let me call you. The boss didn't know when he was standing beside Xu Jingnan, and when he finally stopped pouring wine into his mouth, he hurriedly spoke.

"Huh?" Eight or nine cans of beer went down, and Xu Jingnan's eyes were a little misty even if he wasn't drunk, and he thought he had heard it wrong. "What friend? Why don't you come? ”

The boss obviously thought he was talking nonsense, you said that this police officer is also strange, the two friends have not yet arrived, they threw off their arms and began to eat and drink, the boss is also a regular worker, of course, he knows that the protector of these places is somewhat habitual, but fortunately, the relationship between the police and the people, the relationship between the workers and the police has always been harmonious in Buenyou Village.

He repeated, but it didn't seem necessary.

In the dim light, Xu Jingnan squinted his eyes and saw two people walking straight to his table, a middle-aged man wearing a hat with a long figure and a cold expression, and the other young man was quite burly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Jingnan slurred his words but said quite loudly: "Who are you?"

The boss smiled helplessly, turned around and walked away, this guy must be drunk today, the drunk can't afford to wait, let's hide.

Xu Jingnan really thought that he was drunk, although Bu You was small, he definitely didn't have such two friends, this was not Zhou Wengang, a weak scholar, and he was not any of his colleagues.

"Who are you looking for?" he raised his voice in annoyance, these two people were either looking for trouble or finding fault, but they were police officers anyway.

The middle-aged man gently took off his hat, and his sharp eyes still flashed like lightning under the dim incandescent light, which made Xu Jingnan feel inexplicably stunned in his heart.

The middle-aged man had a small voice and a calm tone.

"Hello Officer Xu, I'm Li Yiting. ”

"Ah!!??" Xu Jingnan just grabbed a can of beer and fell on the round table with a bang, and the hops splashed everywhere, as if his heart was shocked.

Xu Jingnan finally saw this face that was already unfamiliar but seemed very familiar.
