After eating and drinking, according to Xu Jianjun's instructions, the criminal policeman Xiao Liu settled the meal bill first, and then together with the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang, took He Erlai out of the meal bag and went to the car.

Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun did not leave immediately, but each lit a cigarette and smoked it.

Xu Jianjun looked at Li Xiaohe: "Lao Li, you kicked me just now, do you have something to say?" ”

"Looks like you're smart." made a joke, Li Xiaohe appropriately lowered his voice: "Lao Xu, on this trip to Maozhong City, I didn't find any useful information, and in that room, I didn't find anything related to Ma Yishan or Ge Erhai, not even a piece of paper. Is He Erlai's news accurate? Is his account credible? ”

"Yes, he can't and won't dare to lie." Xu Jianjun smiled, "He Erlai has held on for so many days, and he has always had illusions, thinking that the police do not have any information about Ma Yishan, so naturally they can't confirm his involvement in fraud, so there is nothing they can do about him." The current situation of the past 20 days has also made him more convinced of this point and more determined by his previous judgment. However, today you appeared at the right time, talking about the cordyceps planting scam, and talking about Ge Erhai.

I noticed that when he heard this, especially the word 'Ge Erhai', his face was full of shock, disappointment, and then pain and panic. I knew that the foundation on which he relied to support his illusions was shattered, and the nerves that had been tense because of the ghost in his heart collapsed in an instant. That's why he began to explain in detail, hoping to make meritorious atonement and reduce the punishment he received. Therefore, he certainly will not deliberately talk nonsense, and will not allow himself to add to his own sin. ”

"It should be like this, but I didn't find anything in that room, and I still didn't feel at ease. In case the news is wrong, in case the house has no connection with Ge Erhai, the practice of breaking into the door will not be explained. Li Xiaohe was worried, "What's more, it's still in the city, not Siyuan County." ”

"It's okay, don't worry, that house must be rented by Ge Erhai, I trust my intuition, what He Erlai said must be right." Xu Jianjun didn't care, "Even if there is something wrong in the middle, it's okay, the director of that area is my classmate, and I will find him to deal with it then." Besides, we are on a mission, and we have a suspect to identify, but the formalities are just a small road. ”

"It's better to be cautious, but don't get into trouble for you because of the matter of Shuangshengxiang." Li Xiaohe reminded, "We're going to Xiyun County in a while, and it will be at least nine o'clock to get there, and we can't be as reckless as during the day." This black goo in the middle of winter, in case He Erlai can't remember correctly and breaks into someone else's house by mistake, it's not a joke. ”

Xu Jianjun replied: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion, and I won't do anything brutally." After arriving today, we will go to the scene first, and if we can't do it, then wait until tomorrow and ask the local police to cooperate. If necessary, I will immediately transfer someone to the site according to the situation. If things are done sooner or later, maybe there will be a big harvest, what if Ge Erhai is caught in the right place? ”

"Catch Ge Erhai?" Li Xiaohe smiled "haha", "I hope." ”

"Okay, let's go." Xu Jianjun also smiled.

Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun left the meal bag, stepped out of the restaurant, came outside, and got into the off-road vehicle with ordinary license plates.

Criminal policeman Xiao Zhang immediately started the car, rushed into the night illuminated by the street lights, and went straight to the ring road. After running for a short time on the ring road, I passed through the entrance of the station, got on the highway, and galloped.

……

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the off-road vehicle got off the highway, took the ramp, and drove out of the "Xiyun" exit. According to He Erlai's description, he drove straight to the north of Xiyun County.

Almost at the edge of the city, He Erlai said, "Turn left." ”

Xiao Zhang didn't speak, but slowed down and turned to the left.

After going up the gentle slope for 70 or 80 meters, He Erlai said, "Turn right." ”

The car immediately wheeled and drove into the alley on the right. The alley is wide enough and there are houses on both sides, but the lights in the bungalows are not reflected, and the whole alley is very dark.

Passing through this alley, He Erlai pointed to the left front: "It's that building." ”

Looking in the direction of He Erlai's finger, not far ahead, there seemed to be a black building. When the car lights swept, I saw that it was indeed a residential building, and there was a fence outside the building, but there was no light in the whole building.

People rested so early? No, I can't. Li Xiaohe was puzzled.

The car turned off its lights and slowly came to the right side of the building, stopping at the corner of the fence.

"Falling off the edge and corner, a lonely building, blind with a black light, do you remember clearly?" Xu Jianjun asked in a low voice.

Subconsciously looked out, He Erlai's tone was slightly hesitant: "It should be here, I came here once last spring, and it was Ge Erhai who brought me here." It was also dark at night, and I saw that the house was quite off, so I felt a little weak, and I paid special attention to it. ”

Without staring at it again, Xu Jianjun said "get out of the car" and took the lead in pushing the car door.

Except for Xiao Zhang, who stayed behind in the car, the other four people came to the car, turned the fence, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

When approaching the courtyard gate, Xu Jianjun gently stabbed Li Xiaohe.

Li Xiaohe also found the big circle painted on the wall, and the word "demolition" was written in the circle, so he nodded.

came to the side of the courtyard gate, everyone stopped, listened attentively, and then Xu Jianjun made a gesture.

The criminal policeman Xiao Liu understood, lowered his body, tiptoed to the middle of the two iron doors, and stopped. Then he walked forward again to the other side of the courtyard gate, and followed the base of the wall until the corner of the wall. Then he climbed the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

After a while, Xiao Liu jumped out of the fence again, came to Xu Jianjun, and said softly: "There is no light in the building, a lot of glass has been broken, and the word 'demolition' is also written on the building, it seems that the residents have moved out." ”

Xu Jianjun nodded slowly: "Then it's all over the wall......" Halfway through the words, he changed his words again, "Open the courtyard door and bring him in." Be especially careful when picking the lock, in case there are still people. ”

"Okay." Answering softly, Xiao Liu went to the middle of the courtyard gate.

With two slight "bangs", followed by the sound of "popping" unlocking. After a short silence, there is a "squeak" sound.

Noticing the crack in the open door and Xiao Liu's gesture, Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun grabbed He Erlai's arm, arrived at the opening of the courtyard door, followed Xiao Liu, and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was dark, and there was no light in the guard's room. When I looked closer, I saw that the door of the doorman's room was locked, and it seemed that there was no one in the house.

"Click", "click", stepping on the sloping glass debris on the ground, everyone arrived at the door of a unit.

Pointing upstairs, Xu Jianjun gestured again.

When the captain stopped the gesture, Xiao Liu took out the small climbing rope from his waist, raised his hand slightly, and threw it to the second floor accurately, and the head of the rope grabbed the window of the broken glass. He then took out his police climbing gloves and put them on his hands.

Pulling hard, Xiao Liu grabbed the rope, jumped lightly, and kicked his feet on the outer wall of the balcony on the first floor.

Xu Jianjun and Li Xiaohe sandwiched He Erlai and walked to the side, a little farther away from Xiao Liu's vertical point. Xu Jianjun took out two pairs of special gloves and gave them to Li Xiaohe.

Li Xiaohe looked up while wearing gloves, and saw Xiao Liu using his hands and feet together, and soon arrived at the window on the second floor. Then there was the sound of "click", "bang", "bang" glass breaking and falling to the ground, and Xiao Liu's figure followed the window and entered the house.

Hearing that there was no abnormal shouting or sound, Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun immediately took He Erlai and walked quickly to the first unit and walked into the corridor. The corridor is very dark, I really can't see my fingers, I can't see my feet clearly, but obviously the stairs are not particularly smooth.

"Squeak", the sound of the door opening overhead. Followed by Xiao Liu's extremely low voice: "Captain, normal." ”

Xu Jianjun did not reply, but with the other two, he touched the dark, walked on the road, and slowly moved upward. came to the second floor, and together with Xiao Liu, who was waiting at the door, he entered the door on the right.

The room was not as dark as the corridor, and it could be seen that the windows were broken in many places, but the objects in the room could not be seen clearly.

Groping and sitting on the sofa, Xu Jianjun took a small flashlight and came out. Turning on the flashlight and shining it on the ground, he quickly took out a cloth cover and put it on the flashlight head. Suddenly, the flashlight dimmed a lot, and it also blocked the scattered light.

Xiao Liu also concocted the same method and "armed" the flashlight.

Try to put the flashlight low enough, and take a look at the objects in the living room, Xu Jianjun said softly: "Let's confirm again, whether it is here or not." ”

In fact, there was nothing in the room, only a set of broken sofas, a low cabinet, and even the radiators were missing.

"That's right. The last time I visited, I noticed that the sofa was purple flannel, and there were two holes in the armrest of the sofa on my right hand, and the holes were exactly the same. This time, He Erlai said very surely.

Xu Jianjun didn't answer He Erlai's words, but said to Xiao Liu: "You look at him, let's go search." ”

"Okay." Xiao Liu stretched out his right hand and grabbed He Erlai's arm.

Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun got up, first looked back and forth in the living room, and searched the inside and outside of the low cabinet, up and down; I searched under the sofa again, turned up the sponge cushion, and looked at the two holes in the armrests, but I didn't see anything useful.

There were no beds, cabinets or anything like that in the master bedroom, but there were some pieces of paper and old shoes scattered on the floor. Li and Xu squatted on the ground and carefully looked at every piece of paper, including the front and back, but still found no valuable clues, let alone anything marked "Ma Yishan" or "Ge Erlai", and even the words "Ma" or "Ge" did not appear.

Coming out of the master bedroom, I went to the second bedroom, then the kitchen, the bathroom, and then I knocked on the ceiling, the wall, and even the floor. It took almost two hours to survive, but nothing was found except that the mouth was full of earthy taste.

I made a "second visit" to individual objects, but I still didn't find the things or clues I needed.

Li Xiaohe realized that this time he ran away in vain again.

Although they were very unwilling and disappointed, Li Xiaohe and others had to leave this room at nearly zero o'clock with regret and leave Xiyun County by car.
