Chapter 22: Mutation

When Yang Cheng came over this time, his expression was not more relaxed than earlier, and even looked more serious and low than at that time, he walked into the office and signaled everyone present to temporarily put down the work at hand, gather together, there is something to be notified, at that time, the office was basically a colleague who was running the case of the broken face of the man's corpse, everyone looked at Yang Cheng like this, and they all thought that it was because the progress of the case was really unsatisfactory, so the pressure on Yang Cheng was exerted above, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered together, waiting for Yang Cheng to speak, to see if it was a deadline to solve the case, or if there were other arrangements.

"You're all working on that broken face of the man's corpse right now, right?" After Yang Cheng and the others had gathered, he opened his mouth to ask, and when he saw that the big guys were all nodding, he waved his hand and said, "Let's put that case aside for a while." ”

"Don't check it out? Team Yang, what do you mean? A colleague who was assisting in the investigation of the case asked in surprise, "Is there any other case that has been sent, so this one will be lined up for the time being?" ”

"This case may be handed over to another team to deal with, it is not yet decided, in short, let's be here today, the time is almost up, it is time to get off work, what to do, from tomorrow, this case will be put down, if you have anything at hand that has not been dealt with, you will continue to deal with it, and if you don't have it, you will arrange other work." Without further notice from me, this case is out of our hands. Yang Cheng replied.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a discussion among the others, and everyone was a little surprised. If it's just because the progress is really not ideal, and it conflicts with other important work, it will be put aside for the time being. Everyone can naturally understand this, but now listening to Yang Cheng's meaning, it is clear that there is no further work arrangement, and he still has to hand over the case in hand to others, so the nature of the matter is different, can it be said that the leaders above feel that they are not capable of working enough. So are you dissatisfied?

Yang Cheng looked at his subordinates with complicated expressions, and probably knew their thoughts, so he waved his hand. He said, "Don't be cranky, since this is arranged, there is a reason, you should all go back early today to rest." It's been so many days too. Tomorrow will begin to return to normal working conditions. ”

Since Yang Cheng didn't want to talk about it in detail, everyone naturally didn't want to chase after the endless questions, so they agreed one after another, and went to pack up their things. Fang Yuan felt unsteady in his heart, first Dai Xu was called away, and now no one has returned, nor has he sent any news back, and then Yang Cheng appeared again. What does it mean to tell everyone to stop their investigations? Others can not care. She couldn't pretend to be confused.

So she didn't care about whether it was suitable or not, and what kind of attitude the other party would have, so she hurriedly followed, caught up with Yang Cheng, who had issued a notice and was about to leave, and asked a little eagerly: "Brigade Yang, why did we investigate this case step by step?" Is there any problem with us? How did you suddenly make such an arrangement? ”

Yang Cheng looked at her and didn't speak immediately, as if he was hesitating about something, Fang Yuan felt uneasy, and he couldn't care about it, so he opened his mouth to ask again: "Also, Dai Xu was called by you......"

"Fang Yuan," Yang Cheng opened his mouth to interrupt the question she hadn't finished speaking, "In this way, you, together with the others, go back to rest after work first, and then talk about the case later, you come to my office tomorrow morning." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned, nodded instinctively, and agreed, Yang Cheng saw her nodding, so he didn't delay any longer, and strode away, as if he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, Fang Yuan came back to his senses and wanted to ask again.

What the hell was going on, Fang Yuan had no idea now, he was stunned in the corridor for two or three minutes before he turned around and slowly walked back to the office. The uneasiness in her heart was accelerating and expanding, Dai Xu was called away by Yang Cheng, and there was no news at all so far, and no one had come back, she just wanted to ask Yang Cheng when she could contact Dai Xu when he called Dai Xu, but Yang Cheng immediately interrupted her as soon as he heard her mention Dai Xu, this was clearly a manifestation of avoiding the topic, why was this happening, Fang Yuan couldn't understand the fact that Dai Xu was called away by Yang Cheng, and in the afternoon Yang Cheng suddenly came to inform everyone to stop the investigation of the case of the broken face man's corpse, Is there some kind of connection between the two? Although she couldn't figure out the possibility of any connection between the two, she was still unstable in her heart.

Now that Yang Cheng has spoken, there is no need for the people in the team to delay here, so they packed up their personal belongings one after another, and went home from work, Fang Yuan was unwilling, and tried to call Dai Xu again, Dai Xu's mobile phone was turned off, there was no way to contact him, and he sent a text message in the afternoon and did not reply, so naturally there was no point in sending a message to try to contact again, Fang Yuan waited alone in the empty office for more than an hour, and tried to call Dai Xu's mobile phone again and again, It had always been turned off, and there was no point in waiting so stupidly, Fang Yuan had no choice but to pack up his things and go home.

As soon as she got home, the phone rang, Fang Yuan hurriedly went to her bag to take out her mobile phone, thinking that Dai Xu had finally called her back, but when she took out her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID on it, her heart sank halfway.

It was Dai's mother who called, and the number was newly deposited when they exchanged at noon, and at this time, Dai's mother called the phone, what would be the purpose, even if she used her toes to think about Fang Yuan, she could figure it out. But she couldn't help but answer Dai's mother's call, which would only make her more worried, so she still took a deep breath and picked up the phone, Dai's mother really called to ask about Dai Xu's situation, she and Dai's father also tried to call Dai Xu, Dai Xu's mobile phone has been turned off, so the second elder's heart is not steady.

Fang Yuan pretended to be calm, opened his eyes and made up nonsense, saying that Dai Xu went back to the office in the afternoon, and the leader asked him to go over for work, and he still had something to do at night, so he was working overtime in the unit. When my work is over, I come back from work first, and the phone can't be connected because the phone is out of battery. Let the Dai parents not worry.

Such an explanation sounded credible and suspicious, but fortunately, Dai's mother didn't interrogate more on the phone, and seemed to accept Fang Yuan's statement, and told Fang Yuan on the phone not to be too busy and have a good dinner.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuan couldn't tell whether he was relieved because he had dealt with Mother Dai, or if his mood was even heavier. In such a situation, where did she have any appetite to eat, sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. Holding his mobile phone, he tried to dial Dai Xu's number every three or five minutes to see if his mobile phone was turned on, and the result was predictable. I tried this until midnight. Dai Xu's mobile phone was always turned off, and no one returned. Fang Yuan's heart had never been so flustered as it was now, she didn't feel hungry or sleepy, her eyes were staring at the wall clock on the wall, and she felt that the original slight and small second hand beating sound had become extremely heavy tonight, like a sledgehammer. Each blow slammed into her heart, making her heart skip a beat. Sink deeply.

In this way, until the dawn had gradually penetrated through the window, the sky was getting brighter, Dai Xu's mobile phone was still turned off, and no one came back all night, Fang Yuan just sat silently on the sofa all night, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his brain felt a little numb because he had been nervous for too long, but the panic in his heart did not alleviate at all, but increased a lot because Dai Xu did not return all night.

On the way to work, she felt that she was in a daze, she almost took the bus and almost got past the station, and when she crossed the street, she was almost scratched by an electric car that suddenly rushed over because of a trance, and when she arrived at the office, she put down her things and ran straight to Yang Cheng's office, although Fang Yuan didn't have any good premonitions about the purpose of Yang Cheng calling her to the office to talk, but she intuitively thought that it might have something to do with Dai Xu, no matter what it was, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, there was a clear answer and result, It was better than endless guessing, if Dai Xu continued to be heard from without any reason, then Fang Yuan felt that he was most likely going to be scared to death by his own speculation and imagination.

Originally, Fang Yuan didn't notice the time, only to find that it was just after seven o'clock in the morning when she arrived at the door of Yang Cheng's office, it was estimated that Yang Cheng should not come over so early, but since she had arrived, she still stepped forward and knocked on the door of the office tentatively, and she was ready to go back and wait for the time to come back again, but just when she was almost about to turn around and leave, Yang Cheng's voice came from inside, shouting "Please come in", Fang Yuan pushed the door and walked in.

I don't know if Yang Cheng didn't go home overnight, just stayed in the office, or if he also came early in the morning, just after seven o'clock, Yang Cheng's office was already filled with an obvious smell of smoke, and there were many cigarette butts stuffed in the ashtray on the table, and he himself still had a lit, pale cyan smoke in his hand slowly dispersed, making Yang Cheng's face look as if he had gone through a lot of vicissitudes overnight, before Fang Yuan entered the door, he seemed to be thinking about things while smoking, I came back to my senses when I heard a knock on the door.

Seeing that the person who came in was Fang Yuan, Yang Cheng didn't show any surprise, he raised his hand and gestured to Fang Yuan, asking her to sit down across from his desk, then put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, cleared his throat, and asked, "Fang Yuan, I heard that you had a suitor before, did you have such a thing?" ”

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, she always thought that Yang Cheng was going to talk to herself about something related to Dai Xu, but she actually asked about it, but this matter was related to herself, and it was equivalent to being indirectly related to Dai Xu, so it was estimated that it was not unrelated to Dai Xu being called away the day before, but why did Yang Cheng suddenly ask about it? Before, Yang Zhiyuan took someone to the Public Security Bureau to perform a bloody confession drama, Yang Chengdu didn't take it seriously, he didn't ask at all, that incident had passed so long, and now he suddenly asked, there was really no way not to feel strange, Fang Yuan even thought for the first time, could it be that his father or mother did something behind his back to block himself and Dai Xu because he was unwilling.

But just because of this, Yang Cheng was taken so seriously, and Dai Xu was inexplicably lost for almost a day after being called away, which is also a little unreasonable and inexplicable.

So she nodded honestly and said; "Yes, that's the case."

"Tell me about that person and you." Yang Cheng motioned to her again and asked her to elaborate.

Fang Yuan frowned: "Brigade Yang, this matter ...... It's my private business, right? ”

"Is it a private matter...... Let's talk about it first. Yang Cheng pondered for a moment and did not give up asking.

Fang Yuan had no choice, so he had to simply talk about how he got married to Yang Zhiyuan, and what happened after that, and didn't forget to explain at the end: "Team Yang, in this matter, I have always belonged to the side that was passive and disturbed by the [River Crab], I have already made my thoughts very clear to the other party, it is the other party who is stalking, refusing to give up, and has disturbed me through various channels several times, I have tried my best to minimize the impact of the matter, and I have not affected my work because of this incident." , but the other party is also an adult with a normal IQ, and I have no way to control his behavior, so I am also helpless. ”

After listening to this, Yang Cheng nodded, and did not make any comments on this matter, but was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and asked Fang Yuan again: "This suitor of yours, has he ever had any contact with Dai Xu?" ”

"Sort of, Dai Xu was present when that person came to the bureau, but they didn't have any specific contact, and it was nothing more than Dai Xu, as my boyfriend and a police officer from the Public Security Bureau, asking him not to continue to entangle, and not to affect our normal work." Fang Yuan was afraid that he would cause trouble for Dai Xu because of himself, so he hurriedly explained.

"How did he ask the other party not to continue pestering?"

Fang Yuan shook his head: "I didn't ask specifically, but it must be a relatively peaceful way. Captain, what happened to Dai Xu? Why can't I get in touch all the time? ”

Yang Cheng didn't answer her question, but said to her: "Okay, you go back first, you've been quite tired recently, so let's do it, I'll give you a few days off, and you go home to rest and rest." (To be continued.) )
