Chapter 208: The Mysterious Man Who Came to the Archives in the Middle of the Night
"Team Xu?" Lao Lian threw an inquiring look at Xu Ziqian.
"Investigate the case." Xu Ziqian's answer was very brief, and Lao Lian didn't want to ask anything more, so he quickly took out the key and opened the door of the archive room behind him.
Xu Ziqian didn't even say a word of thanks, and walked into the archive room with the person behind him. However, the person behind him seemed to be very familiar with Lao Lian, and he said familiarly: "Thank you, thank you another day." ”
Lao Lian looked at Xu Ziqian again, and seeing that Xu Ziqian did not have any expression, he shook his head lightly and retreated.
Xu Ziqian skillfully felt the switch of the light on the wall, turned it on, and the room suddenly changed from darkness to light.
Then, he naturally chose a chair to sit down, looked at the figure who followed him into the archive room, and finally spoke: "Say, what are you looking for, I'll help you find it together." ”
"No, you don't."
The man seemed reluctant to answer, and there was unmistakable resistance in his voice.
Xu Ziqian's face sank: "I don't want to add any more surprises." ”
The man walked to the first row of filing cabinets and replied without looking back, "Whether or not I can find what I want tonight, I will plan ahead according to your wishes." ”
When Xu Ziqian heard this reassurance, he finally stopped insisting, and sat down in the chair peacefully, looking at the figure standing in front of the filing cabinet, and the fingers of both hands gently tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the chair.
Although Xu Ziqian didn't say anything more, a gleam burst out of his eyes.
The cases in the entire Jiangbei City, whether they have been solved or unsolved, can almost be memorized in his heart. The other party didn't ask about him, but wanted to find it by himself, which can only show that the other party doesn't want to be known what he's looking for.
In that case, he didn't bother to ask. It's just a query of files, and it can't cause any strong winds and waves.
Xu Ziqian sat quietly in his chair, and the entire archive room could only hear the sound of the file being turned. If it were an ordinary person, the psychology would have felt weird a long time ago, or it would have been sleepy in this boring and monotonous sound.
And Xu Ziqian is like a freak, he doesn't have any feelings, he always maintains a posture, but his eyes never leave the figure in front of the filing cabinet.
The figure did not stay in front of the first row of filing cabinets for too long, his eyes only swept lightly over the spine of the file folder, and soon moved to the row of file cabinets of 'Missing Persons and Unidentified Deceased', and took out more than a dozen files from the beginning at one time, and looked at them one by one.
There is a long oval table in the center of the room, which is usually used for temporary reading of archives. But the figure didn't move at all, and stood in front of the filing cabinet without being tired and looked through it on the spot.
The man was reading quickly, probably because he had never been able to find what he was looking for. The dozen-cent file was read in just a few minutes, put it back as it was, and then continued to pull out the ten-point file and continue to look at it.
The man's body was a little tense, I don't know if it was because he was like this, or because he was about to find the files he needed.
Lao Lian smoked a cigarette outside, and then pushed the door in.
Xu Ziqian didn't reply, so he naturally knew who the person who came in at this time.
Lao Lian was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ziqian sitting near the door, and said to the person who was carefully flipping through the files: "Team Xu knows all about the big and small cases here, why don't you ask Team Xu for help?" That might be faster. ”
The person who flipped through the file didn't raise his head, and he didn't even answer Lao Lian's words.
Xu Ziqian seemed to be a little bored sitting on the chair, and actually replied to Lao Lian with the leisure and leisure: "It's good to be relaxed." ”
Lao Lian is an old ash in the police station, although Xu Ziqian doesn't say much, Lao Lian almost understands it in seconds. Some complicated eyes looked at the young man who was flipping through the file and sighed.
"Young people nowadays ......"
Xu Ziqian simply began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Lao Lian was already ready to sleep, but after being tossed by these two people, the sleepiness passed, and he couldn't sleep for a while, and he felt more and more that time was difficult when he was outside, and finally couldn't help but come in.
After entering the archives, Lao Lian didn't plan to leave so soon. Xu Ziqian ignored him, he had long been used to it, so he naturally walked slowly to the front of the filing cabinet, looked at the file that the person was reading, and asked casually: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"My mom and dad."
It's rare that the other party actually paid attention to him.
Lao Lian took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then you can directly report your name and age, and wouldn't it be good to adjust it to the household registration center?" ”
The man replied, "The household registration center has long been closed, and there is no information. ”
Lao Lian was stunned for a moment, the account was closed when it was dead, so what are you looking for here?
Seeming to see the puzzled expression on Lao Lian's face, the man said while flipping through the file: "At that time, it was reported as a death, so the account was closed, but I always suspected that they were still alive." But ......"
Xu Ziqian's eyes were closed slightly, and he glanced at it and closed it again.
It turned out that he was looking for his parents, and this probability was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Maybe those two people are still alive, but maybe those two people are dead, it's impossible to say.
Xu Ziqian closed his eyes and said slowly: "No need to look for it." ”
In a word, let the two people over there look back at him at the same time.
Xu Ziqian still didn't open his eyes, and continued: "In the archives of this bureau, there are a total of 247 people who have disappeared and died unknown for decades, one hundred and ninety-six men, and the rest are women. In the case of the missing and unknown deceased, there were only five pairs of two people, one man and one woman, and none of them matched their ages. ”
The person who flipped through the materials paused, his expression seemed to stiffen, and even his breathing became heavy, but the whole person was silent.
There was silence for a few minutes, and the file was never looked at again. Finally, the man closed the file in his hand, returned to its place, and said in a dry voice, "Thank you." ”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the archives, never looking back.
Lao Lian looked at the man's back and gave Xu Ziqian a thumbs up. is worthy of the captain, these materials are so well known that they are memorized, but that person ......
Xu Ziqian closed his eyes slightly, opened them after a while, and slowly got up.
"Team Xu, are you going too?"
Lao Lian asked, looking at the sky, it was too late, there was a rest room in the bureau, so it was better to go there and sleep.
After asking, Lao Lian patted his head, and then remembered that a few steps away from the police station was the waterfront mansion community, and Xu Ziqian had a house over there.
"Back to Fragrant Hills Park." Xu Ziqian put down a sentence.
Lao Lian didn't know that Ding Xiaoqian had returned to Jiangbei, and Xu Ziqian didn't tell anyone about this except to Meng Ju. Even if it is the Ding brothers, Xu Ziqian will hide it from them.
At this juncture, this kind of thing should not be known to anyone, especially the people of the Ding family. If they knew Ding Xiaoqian's current situation, I am afraid it would not be so peaceful.
When Xu Ziqian returned to Xiangshan Garden Villa, it was already the middle of the night, and the lights in the bedroom were still on, which made his brows frown slightly unconsciously. Quickly but lightly walked to the door, reached for the door, and was surprised to find that the bedroom door was locked from the inside.
A series of bad thoughts rose in Xu Ziqian's mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and went to find the spare key in the bedroom.
At present, Ding Xiaoqian is at a critical moment, if once she is a girl, the consequences are unimaginable.
Not long after Xu Ziqian turned around and left, the bedroom door was opened, and Yu Zirui poked his head out from inside to look out. There was not even a figure in the empty corridor, which made Yu Zirui, who had always been bold, a little frightened, and quickly shrank into the bedroom, and said to Ding Xiaoqian in a low voice: "Qian Chuan'er, your family won't be a thief in the middle of the night, right?" ”
Ding Xiaoqian had heard the sound before, but the sound was not loud, but there was a 'click' at the door, and there was no sound. Ding Xiaoqian didn't forget to take it to heart, just thought it was the sound of the wind blowing or some part in the doorknob. But Yu Zirui had to go to see if there was someone outside, but no one scared her.
After hearing this, Ding Xiaoqian replied disappreciatively: "No." ”
Xiangshan Garden is a barren mountain here, who would run here to steal it so blindly. Not to mention whether anyone will be willing to waste time on the road for such a long distance, even if they accidentally succeed, I am afraid that they will have been caught on the mid-mountain road before they can escape to Jiangbei City.
Yu Zirui insisted with some disbelief: "I really heard the sound just now, I think it's too unsafe here." ”
She thought for a moment and said, "It's better to give your man a call." ”
Ding Xiaoqian shook his head slightly, he didn't know what Xu Ziqian was busy with at this time, but since he said that he had something to do, and he hadn't come back yet, it must be something important. She won't bother him at this juncture, and it's not a big deal, don't make a false alarm.
Yu Zirui is a kind of queen on weekdays, and always has an undoubted temperament on her body, although she is pregnant at this time, her figure is not as perfect as it was at the beginning, but her temperament is still undiminished, and she said: "You have to find someone to come." It's just us two weak women here, if there really is some bad guy, who do we call for help? ”
Ding Xiaoqian argued: "I'm a law enforcement officer. ”
Yu Zirui looked at Ding Xiaoqian with disdain, and said: "You, a law enforcement officer, are not as useful as the chengguan, and I can't expect anything from you if something really happens." What else can you do but analyze the case? ”
Ding Xiaoqian's eyes darkened when he heard this, he lowered his head slightly, and said in a small voice: "Yes, I can't seem to do anything." ”
Her hand caressed her empty lower abdomen, and Yu Zirui suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
