Chapter 37: Disappearance
"Yes, although the female victim in the video did not let us see the facial features directly, she was highly similar to Yang Xiaohui in terms of posture, figure, and even clothing, and this degree of similarity should not be just a coincidence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Tonic nodded, indicating that he had similar doubts.
At first, Bao Mingxuan said that Yang Xiaotong had called him before, but when he didn't receive it, he also guessed that it might be some of the murderer's usual tricks, using the deceased's phone to call or text the deceased's relatives and friends, creating the false impression that the deceased was still alive at that time, misleading the police, trying to make the police make a wrong judgment on the specific death of the deceased, so that the murderer could create evidence of his alibi. After Bao Mingxuan called back, no one answered the phone, which also made Tang Li feel that his thoughts had been confirmed, who knew that it didn't take long for Yang Xiaohui not only to call back, but also to see them generously, Tang Li has always been materialistic, never believed in gods and ghosts, otherwise when he saw Yang Xiaohui, he really had a feeling of seeing ghosts.
"So do you mean that someone deliberately imitated Yang Xiaohui to mislead our judgment, or did Yang Xiaohui participate in it and belong to a helper role who helped muddy the waters?" He Ning asked Tang Li.
"I'm more inclined to the former, after all, the flesh is cut off the leg...... When such an assistant is too costly. Tang Li felt that if it was the second possibility, then it didn't sound very reasonable, "But the problem is that whether someone deliberately imitates Yang Xiaohui, or Yang Xiaohui is also a person involved in the case, then what is the purpose of doing it, we don't have an answer for the time being, let's take a look at Yang Xiaohui's movements and then make a judgment." β
He Ning had no objection to this, she thought about it, sighed, and said: "This Yang Xiaohui, when I asked her about things tonight, she suddenly said so many things about her recent confusion and doubts, I heard that I have lost the direction of my life a little, and I feel that although what she said seems to be a bit hypocritical, it seems to make sense when you think about it, what are we pursuing all our lives?" It's like if we are policemen, after handling a criminal case, a new criminal case emerges, and by the time we take over, the victims have already suffered from criminal acts, and in the case of what we have encountered, the vast majority of the victims have even lost their lives, so can we really be regarded as protecting the people? Just like Yang Xiaohui said when she was messing around, will we really deify this profession?"
"Don't be cranky. Tang Li stretched out his hand and shook He Ning's hand, "Yang Xiaohui's confusion, let alone us ordinary people, if it really comes to the tip of the bull's horns, even philosophers can't tell." In fact, a lot of things can not be considered so much, a lifetime, just like a train, from the starting station to the end station, there are few direct stops, there are more or less many stops in the middle, our goal in each stage, just like the passengers who want to go to that station, the train sends the passengers to the destination they want to go, this is to achieve the goal, as for the new goal after that, this is the same as the train at each station will have new passengers on the train, the new passengers need to be sent to the back station, which and the front passengers successfully arrived at the destination There is no conflict, can not be confused, this itself is an act of changing the conceptγ β
He looked at He Ning's expression as he listened carefully to what he said, and continued: "As for whether our profession has been deified, it is up to us to see if we have not deified ourselves psychologically, it is enough. In the final analysis, the role of criminal punishment is to make everyone pay the corresponding price for their violation of the law, so as to punish and avoid recidivism, and secondly, to warn future generations not to follow the same path, and also to give justice to the victim's family. You don't just want to see that the victim of the case has been killed when we take over the case, after all, none of us are prophets or prophets, and it is impossible to predict what has not yet happened, you have to think that if we did not catch the real culprits and let the criminals be punished, the crime rate would probably be several times higher than it is now. β
After hearing this, He Ning tilted his head and looked at Tang Li, he didn't speak for a long time, and Tang Li was a little uncomfortable when she stared at him like this: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No, that's right, I'm just in a trance all of a sudden," He Ning looked at Tang Li and said to him with a serious face, "I used to think that my boyfriend was the same as me, he was a criminal policeman, but now I found out that you are an undercover agent, and your real identity is actually the philosopher you just said, right?"
Tang Li also smiled, and made a shushing gesture at He Ning: "It's good to know yourself, don't tell others." β
He Ning was amused by him and laughed, she felt that her original choice was really wise, Tonic seems to be plain, but he often surprises people, with him, it is really a sense of security and happiness, there is no less, humorous when it should be humorous, calm when it should be calm, provide support for yourself when you are more vulnerable, and enlighten yourself when you are confused. Since the two of them fought together, the first reaction of people who knew about it was often to say to Tang Li that he had really picked up the treasure and found such a beautiful and smart girlfriend as He Ning, but He Ning felt that he was the one who picked up the treasure.
In the following time, the two of them chatted with each other, although it was a quiet night, and a pair of young men and women who were still in love sat in the small space in the car, but He Ning and Tang Li did not have any charming thoughts, after all, the two of them were still in a working state, and they did not dare to be careless at all. In addition, there are more mosquitoes outside, so the two of them closed the car window, there was no cold air coming in, the car became more and more stuffy, the countryside was quiet, and it was inconvenient for them to start the car to blow the air conditioner, so they could only endure it, and it didn't take long for the T-shirt on He Ning's body to become damp and sticky, sticking to her back, making her feel very uncomfortable, but she could only endure it, Tonic originally asked her to sleep for a while, and then replace him when she woke up, but in such a stuffy and hot environment, He Ning didn't have any sleepiness at all.
There is a classic line called "long night, no intention to sleep", to He Ning and Tonic here, it became a long night, unable and unable to sleep, He Ning intermittently took a few naps, drank several cans of coffee, fortunately located in such a village, it is easy to find dry toilets in the fields on the side of the road, the sanitary environment is definitely not easy to describe, but it is much better than squatting in the grass in the wild.
In the second half of the night, the temperature gradually dropped to the lowest level of the day, if it is in the city, you may have been able to feel some coolness, in the countryside it will be several degrees lower, the coolness is not only some problems, and the most exciting thing is that the carriage that was not cool at the beginning, in the second half of the night, it was cold, fortunately, before leaving, He Ning and Tang Li brought out the spare thin coat in the office, and in the second half of the night, they both had to put on the thin jacket to feel more comfortable, He Ning until the sky was faintly white, finally couldn't resist a wave of surging sleepiness, leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep, until he was awakened by the sound of a car horn.
He Ning rubbed his eyes and sat up, and found that it was already sunny, the sun had already come out, and Tang Li was driving on the way back to the city, and there were many cars on the road, so it was estimated that the time should be almost seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
"How long have I slept?" He Ning sat up, took off the tonic coat he was covering and put it on his lap, and lowered the window on his side to let in the fresh morning air outside.
Tonic held the steering wheel with one hand, and picked up the dress from He Ning's lap with the other hand, and put it on her again: "A little more than an hour and a half, the successor colleague has already gone, if you open the window, put on the clothes first, just wake up and immediately take off the coat and blow the wind, it is easy to catch a cold." β
He Ning nodded, obediently put Tonic Coat in front of him, although he had just slept for an hour and a half, but because he had almost no quality rest this night, He Ning did not feel clear-headed, refreshed or anything like that, he was blown by the morning breeze with a slight coolness, and he only felt a little more comfortable, and his mind was still a chaotic mess.
Tonic drove back to the city, because the two of them had just completed the night squatting task, so they didn't need to report to the public security bureau during the day, they could go home directly to rest, and wait until they had a good rest in the afternoon.
Tonic sent He Ning home and went back to rest, He Ning returned to his residence, originally thought that he had slept for a while, and he should be awake for a while, but he didn't expect to fall into a deep sleep after falling on the bed for a few seconds after going back, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep, until a rapid knock on the door woke her up.
He Ning because of the previous day and night, so when he got home, he slept too deeply, and now he was suddenly awakened, and he suddenly felt as if his head had been blown by thunder, and his temples on both sides jumped and hurt, she walked quickly to the door, and saw through the door mirror that the person standing outside the door was Tonic Li, and there was an ominous premonition in her heart in an instant, although she didn't know what time it was, how long she had been asleep, but Tonic could find the door, and knock on the door so quickly, there must be something very important.
She hurriedly opened the door lock, and only then did she see Tang Li's face that she hadn't paid close attention to when she glanced at it in the door mirror, and He Ning had the impression that Tang Li's face hadn't been so ugly for a long time.
"What's wrong?Is there something unexpected?" He Ning didn't care about the headache, and hurriedly asked him.
Tonic nodded to her: "I called you and no one answered, I guess you turned on the silent mode, so I came directly to knock on the door to find you." It's not an emergency, it's just learned. β
"What's the matter? Is it Yang Xiaohui, what's wrong with her?" He Ning instinctively made an association.
"Yes," said Tonic in a heavy tone, "she's missing." β
"Missing?!" He Ning's eyes widened suddenly, and the trace of sleepiness that was still left was washed away by the news at once, and there was nothing left, "How is this possible!" We stared at it all night last night, and we left there this morning after the handover, and we also inquired about the farmhouse, there is only one entrance, no matter where you want to go, as long as you want to leave the farmhouse, you have to go through the only gate, why is Yang Xiaohui still missing? She can't put on her wings and fly away, or the world will evaporate!"
"It's really impossible, but she could be one step ahead of us. Speaking of this, Tonic was also a little annoyed," The colleague who was in charge of squatting during the day said that most of the day had passed, and Yang Xiaohui had not been found, and there was no activity in the yard, they felt uneasy, so they went to find someone at the farmhouse to confirm, and only after asking did they know that after we left with Bao Mingxuan the night before, Yang Xiaohui followed and packed up her things and left, at that time, the people at the farmhouse asked her if there was anyone to pick her up so late, and it was absolutely impossible to have a commuter car or taxi nearby during that time period, Yang Xiaohui said that someone picked her up, and then left with all the things, let's send Bao Mingxuan back and go back to the bureau to find Yang Brigade to report, when I went back, Yang Xiaohui was already gone. β
He Ning could hear that Tang Li was a little annoyed and blamed herself, although she heard that Yang Xiaohui was missing, she also felt a little panicked in her heart, and she was very anxious, but she still comforted Tang Li and said: "Don't think nonsense, this is not a mistake in our work, just like you said, with Bao Mingxuan present at the time, it is impossible for us to stay in front of him to spy on Yang Xiaohui anyway, right?"
Tang Li sighed: "You're right, and now is not the time to be cranky and want to add mental baggage to yourself, let's go, let's go now, go to find all the people who may know Yang Xiaohui's whereabouts, and find out Yang Xiaohui as soon as possible no matter what!"
