CHAPTER XXVI

"The trees are thicker than when we were in school, but they're still so beautiful. www.biquge.info Liu Xiangyang turned his head and looked quiet, "Until now, I still remember that you walked on this road, and the leaves of the ginkgo tree fell on your hair......" "Senior brother," the quiet interrupted Liu Xiangyang, "Don't always keep the past in mind." Liu Xiangyang laughed: "Do you want to say 'there is more beautiful scenery ahead' in your next sentence?" Quietly lowered his eyes a little crampedly, "It would be great if Senior Brother could think like this." Taking a deep breath, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiangyang and said, "Senior brother, I have decided not to fight for the quota for studying abroad." But I don't want you to give up this opportunity because of me. ”

Liu Xiangyang leaned back in the chair, folded his arms in front of his chest, and looked at Jing Jing with interest, "This is what you want to tell me today?" Quietly nodded, "If Senior Brother refuses to go abroad for further study this time, then I will resign and leave the hospital." ”

"Why?" Liu Xiangyang asked. "Because you have been caring about me for the past few years, but I can't afford your dedication to me." Quiet bit her lower lip, "If you give up again this time, it will make me feel guilty." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it." Liu Xiangyang's eyes were a little gloomy, he smiled reluctantly, and changed the topic: "What are your plans for the National Day holiday?" "I have a paper to finish and I want to finish it this vacation." Jing Jing said: "There are three more days of duty." "On duty for someone else?" Liu Xiangyang shook his head helplessly, "You are always a good person, and you are not too tired." Quietly smiled indifferently, "A few of them are either at home or dragging their families, anyway, there is no difference between me at home and in the hospital, it is better to fulfill others." ”

Half an hour after getting off work, Ning Zhiyuan received a call from his sister Ning Zhiyao in the office, "Zhiyuan, do you have no time for the National Day holiday?" "Sister, I'm really sorry, the case in my hand hasn't been closed yet." Ning Zhiyuan said cautiously. "I knew it was going to happen. Don't be afraid, I'm not urging you to come back, I'm calling to inform you that tomorrow our family of three is going to see your parents, and you can spend the National Day by yourself. Ning Zhiyuan accompanied him and said, "That's okay, help me bring it to my parents." I wish you all a smooth journey. "Humph!" Ning Zhiyao was disgusted: "This is not what you want." No, I won't tell you, I'll have to pack my bags. ”

Ning Zhiyuan just hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Litao knocked on the door and came in and put the sorted household registration file on Ning Zhiyuan's desk, "Team Ning, the tasks you gave me today have all been completed." "Okay, it's pretty efficient." Ning Zhiyuan took the file and looked through it, "Inform a few other people that tomorrow is not too early, just gather in the small conference room at ten o'clock in the morning." "Okay, I can finally sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow." Wu Litao ran out happily.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the National Day, the second team of the criminal police did not enjoy the holiday like everyone else, but gathered in a small conference room. "I yesterday divided the household registration files sorted out by Xiao Wu into two categories, one is a local in City D, and the other is a person whose household registration is not in City D." Ning Zhiyuan put the file on the table, "Let's divide the work, Wu Litao and Jiang Xue will figure out the family situation of these people." Song Ming and Da Yang interrogated Lu Chengan again and asked him if he had any clues. Chen Feng printed a set of photos of these people, and after a while, the two of us went to visit the community rented by Li Qingqing to see if the neighbors around had seen anyone inside. ”

Everyone nodded to accept the task, but Wu Litao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Team Ning, the local one is easy to handle, and the estimate from this place may not be able to get the news soon." "Didn't I divide you into two categories, first contact the foreign household registration unit, and wait for the news to get the local ones right." Ning Zhiyuan knocked on the two dossiers on the table.

"Let's work hard, if the case is solved in the past two days, we will still have a chance to enjoy the National Day holiday." Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said to everyone, "If there is no problem, let's start working." ”

Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng came to Li Qingqing's rented community with the printed photos. Because of the National Day, there were more people in the courtyard than usual. After walking around, no one recognized the person in the photo. Chen Feng said a little deflated: "Team Ning, it seems that the effect is not good." Ning Zhiyuan patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, "It's not very likely that the murderer will appear here during the day, so it's normal that no one has seen it." Besides, let's not just get started, cheer up. ”

The two walked to the building where Li Qingqing rented a house, and Ning Zhiyuan stopped and looked up. "Team Ning, what are you looking at?" Chen Feng looked up for a long time and didn't find anything abnormal. "Li Qingqing lives on the seventh floor, and it is a bit difficult to look upstairs from this angle." Ning Zhiyuan said and walked to the flower bed on the side of the building, and sat on the edge of the flower bed, "Although it is a bit out of place here, you can just see the bedroom on the seventh floor." ”

"You're saying the killer will stay here?" Chen Feng looked around the flower bed. "Chances are, maybe the killer will come back later." Ning Zhiyuan looked around at the surrounding environment, "Let's go, talk to the boss of Daxuan's intermediary." ”

When they arrived at the street where Daxuan's agent was located, the two saw the old carpet on the steps of the intermediary boss from a distance. "The boss doesn't rest on National Day!" Ning Zhiyuan approached and greeted the boss. The intermediary boss straightened up and looked back to see that it was Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng, and immediately smiled all over his face: "Yo, it's two police officers, I'm the same who doesn't rest, there are many people who use the holiday to see the rental house, and others don't open the door, maybe they still let me pick up the business." ”

"What the boss said is that if you are so diligent, you will definitely make a lot of money." Ning Zhiyuan echoed. "Borrow your auspicious words, borrow your auspicious words!" The boss was very satisfied, laughed, and then asked, "The two police officers are still here today for the girl's business?" ”

"Well, there are a few photos that I want the boss to see." Ning Zhiyuan said. "Then let's sit in the room." The owner of the agency let the two into the house. Chen Feng took out the photo and handed it to him, "Boss, take a look, are there any people who often appear around here?" ”

The owner of the agency took the photo, picked up a pair of glasses from the table and put them on to look at them carefully. After a while, he shook his head, "Look at people who don't know too well." "This person is more likely to show up at night." Ning Zhiyuan prompted.

"Hey, if not." The boss of the agency took off his glasses, "There are a few old buddies who often come to me to chat after dinner, and they sit at the door until eleven or two o'clock in the summer." I'm going to ask them? "Okay, that couldn't be better." Ning Zhiyuan said. The boss of the intermediary took out his mobile phone and said: "I'm going to call one by one, but today is the National Day, I don't know if I'm at home." ”

The intermediary boss made four or five phone calls, and after about half an hour, three people of the same age as the intermediary boss came. Ning Zhiyuan gave the three of them the photo for identification, and after a while, one of the fat old men said, "Hey, I said, this person looks familiar." The owner of the agency and a few other people also leaned over to take a look. Another tall old man also said, "This is not that kid." ”

Ning Zhiyuan took the photo and glanced at it with Chen Feng, Chen Feng widened his eyes and muttered in surprise: "It's him." Ning Zhiyuan asked a few people: "Have you seen him?" The agency boss looked at the photo suspiciously, "Why can't I remember?" The tall old man said: "That night, we were talking nonsense at your door, Lao Li poured the tea root in the teacup casually, splashed a shoe, and the person quarreled with Lao Li a few words." "Yes, it should be him." The fat old man nodded as well.

"When?" Ning Zhiyuan asked. The tall old man touched his chin and thought for a moment and said, "It was quite hot at that time, probably in June or July." "June, June," the fat old man corrected beside him, "I went to the girl's house in July to help bring my grandson, and I was not at home, so it must have been before that." ”

"Do you remember what time it was?" Chen Feng asked eagerly. "I don't remember then, it's dark anyway." The fat old man said. "It must be ninety o'clock, and we lost interest after they quarreled, so we dispersed." The tall old man added.

"Have you seen this person since then?" Ning Zhiyuan asked. "I haven't seen it." The tall old man shook his head. The fat old man said: "I heard Lao Li once say that he looked at this person again, and said that he didn't know whose kid it was, why did he touch him again." ”

"What about Lao Li, aren't you at home today?" Ning Zhiyuan asked a few people. "Oh, he went to the park with his son's family." The one next to him, who had been silent, took over the conversation, "I guess I won't be back until I finish dinner in the evening." ”

"Can you give me Lao Li's phone?" Ning Zhiyuan asked the intermediary boss. "Okay, no problem." The intermediary boss found the paper and copied the phone number to Ning Zhiyuan. "Okay, thank you, if you've been watching this person from the neighborhood lately, please call me and let me know." Ning Zhiyuan said and left contact information for several people.

Leaving the Daxuan intermediary, Chen Feng couldn't wait to ask Ning Zhiyuan: "Team Ning, will it really be the loss prevention officer?" "It should be." Ning Zhiyuan replied very calmly. "Have you been suspicious of him for a long time? Is there any basis for this? Chen Feng was eager to know the answer. Ning Zhiyuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not directly answer Chen Feng's question, but said: "Call Wu Litao and ask him and Jiang Xue to find out Zhao Xuebin's situation first." ”

Ning Zhiyuan called Lao Li and determined where he was now. hung up the phone and asked Chen Feng: "What did Wu Litao say?" "Oh, he said that he would contact the place of residence immediately, and notify us as soon as there is news." Chen Feng put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, "Team Ning, where are we going now?" "Lao Li said that he and his family are now in the botanical garden, and we will go to him first." Ning Zhiyuan said as he walked to the parking place, "We have to hurry up and get back to the bureau as soon as possible." ”

The botanical garden, located on the border between City D and Linshi, is filled with balloons, streamers and joyous crowds, and people stop to take pictures at every spot. Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
