Chapter 357: Great Chaos
At that time, the driver saw her as a little girl, and specially asked her a few more words, such as whether she was sure to get off at that section, whether anyone would pick her up, etc., Zhong Zhuowen said that she knew that there were also classmates who came, and the driver left with confidence.
That was the last time she was seen in the limelight, and after that, she was gone.
According to her call records, it was found that she called Nan Zhiyi and Ling Li respectively three days ago.
The call record shows that Nan Zhiyi's phone was turned off, and Zhong Zhuowen did not get through. And Ling Li was in court at the time, and also cut off the phone and turned it off.
A phone call that was not answered, they didn't pay attention to it, and they didn't expect that since then, Zhong Zhuowen has completely lost her voice.
The GPS base station data obtained by the police showed that when she called Ling Li, she was near the depressed town of Heishui, however, no one had seen her when she asked all the people in the town.
Zhong Zhuowen is a little girl who is more than 1.75 meters tall, and her personal characteristics can be said to be quite outstanding, if it weren't for the collective lying of people in a town, then she really hadn't been to the town.
The girl in the flower season traveled alone and disappeared in an economically underdeveloped area near the province, and such a case and environment made everyone sweat.
After listening to the general experience, even during the day, even if it was still summer, Ling Li's body couldn't stop trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of the fever and the body was cold, or if the air conditioner in the room was too strong.
Coming out of the inquiry room, Ling Li was not in a position. On the surface, this is a case of disappearance, but Zhong Zhuowen's two phone calls to her and Nan Zhiyi before her disappearance made her faintly feel in her heart that this was not an ordinary disappearance case.
Even if she didn't think about it deliberately, she couldn't stop the conjecture in her heart from pointing to a direction that she was most afraid of.
If she picked up the phone at that time and got the message that Li Zhong Zhuowen wanted to convey from the phone, would today's result be different?
It's a pity that there is no if-Ling Li smiled bitterly, only to feel that his head was even more dizzy, his feet were fluttering, and he was about to lose his footing.
"Are you okay, second sister?" A calm male voice sounded in her ears, and then there was a burst of strength in her arm, and someone helped her to stand firmly.
Ling Li steadied herself, her voice a little hoarse: "Master, I'm fine." ”
When he looked up, he saw the two figures in front of him clearly.
In addition to Zhu Jinchuan, who was holding her, there was also Nan Zhiyi, who was standing a few meters away.
Nan Zhiyi looked at her from afar, his lips moved, and he stopped talking.
The man next to her was the fourth time she had seen him. I can't see the age, I can only see that Da Lingli is a lot. And Ling Li's natural voice just now was intimate and dependent, and he could also hold her up as soon as she almost fell.
It seems that she and him have long been different from the estranged and indifferent relationship before.
Nan Zhiyi lowered his eyes, deliberately not looking at the picture in front of him that made his heart tingle slightly.
More than ten seconds later, it was Ling Li who asked him a question first.
"Teacher Nan, how much do you know about Zhong Zhuowen's disappearance?"
Her voice, uncharacteristically cold, made it easy for him to feel the emotions hidden under the calm.
He took a deep breath and raised his eyes: "I don't know more than you, and I know everything I know, and I've told the police." ”
"Really?" She scoffed, "Did you tell the police what the hell are you and Zhong Zhuowen doing?" ”
Nan Zhiyi closed his eyes slightly, and opened them after a few seconds, his voice calm: "We didn't do anything, don't think too much." I see that your face is not very good, go home and rest well, Zhong Zhuowen is missing, naturally the police will look for you, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry. ”
"Really? Is this really an ordinary disappearance? Shouldn't it be about you and me? Ling Li took a few steps in his direction, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness, "Teacher Nan, shouldn't you give an explanation as to why she called you and me before she disappeared?" ”
Nan Zhiyi fell silent and stared at her quietly, silent for a long time.
Ling Li saw that he didn't speak, a nameless anger rose in his heart, and his voice became sharp: "Nan Zhiyi, I'm asking you a question, please answer!" ”
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied, "Ask, I'll tell you everything." ”
Ling Li was still a little panting because of the excitement just now, and after a while, her breathing gradually calmed down, and then she asked him again: "You and her, are you secretly investigating without me?" ”
Nan Zhiyi nodded slightly, and finally admitted the matter.
"Sure enough......" Ling Li lost her mind for a moment, and a thousand emotions surged through her heart, only turning into these two words.
"I was experimenting at the time, and I didn't like to be disturbed by the phone, so I turned it off. If only I had known ......"
"Earlier?" Ling Li's voice became louder, "If you knew this, you wouldn't have turned it off?" Why don't you come and ask me? Why are you hiding it from me? Why did you say that you wouldn't investigate it at the time, I just didn't want you to have anything to do, and I didn't want you to be involved in this case, don't you understand? Now it's okay, Zhong Zhuowen is gone, he shot, he shot! ”
She became excited, and her body and voice began to tremble uncontrollably.
"It may not be him," Nan Zhiyi took her words, "The police haven't found out what caused her disappearance, don't think too badly." ”
"Really?" Ling Li shook her head and smiled bitterly, "You dare to say that you didn't think in that direction?" Do you dare to pack a ticket, this must have nothing to do with my family's case? ”
His clear and clear eyes darkened for a moment, and he did not answer.
Ling Li suddenly, she couldn't bear to ask any more.
She took a few deep breaths to suppress the emotions surging in her heart, clenched her palms, and tried to make her voice sound normal.
She asked, "Can you tell me what you're all doing?" I don't want me to be the last to know. ”
Nan Zhiyi's eyes flashed with hesitation. He was struggling with whether to tell Ling Li about the incident that he and Zhong Zhuowen were investigating.
But now that she has been distracted by Zhong Zhuowen's disappearance, if she adds those things in his hands, will she not be able to bear it?
But I can't hide it from her for long. If she had heard from the police what he should have told her in person, would she blame him?
The mood of deliberate distancing, deliberate indifference, and deliberate distance a few days ago has all disappeared at this time, and his mood at the moment just wants to minimize the damage to her.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally figured out how to deal with it.
"Zhong Zhuowen said that Zhou Qingchun's death is strange, she will be responsible for the decryption of the secret room, and I will be responsible for the collection of other information."
After finishing speaking, he was a little apprehensive, hoping that Ling Li didn't pay attention to the four inconspicuous words of other information.
Sure enough, Ling Li's attention was completely on the secret room.
"You guys are really investigating behind my back?" Her eyes widened, "Did you know that this is dangerous? ”
Nan Zhiyi was noncommittal, avoided the topic, and continued: "I know, I told you, I don't know what stage Zhong Zhuowen's investigation has reached, why she went in a direction diametrically opposite to Nanxi, why she called you and me before she disappeared, I don't have a clue." However, the little girl said that she would definitely be able to unlock the secret room, so she ran to Nanxi again and again, and also blended into the scene of the crime. As far as I know, the last time she went was two weeks ago. ”
Ling Li opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.
For his safety, he was not allowed to participate in this matter, but he has been investigating the case behind her back, how can she be relieved?
In the blink of an eye, but a tear fell.
Ling Li's eyes were gradually blurred by tears, and she couldn't speak anymore.
And Zhu Jinchuan, from being confused at the beginning, to now hearing some clues, I just feel that this afternoon, I have experienced unbelievable things.
First of all, the strange man in front of me who seems to have seen it several times turned out to be Nan Zhiyi. Out of politeness, he greeted him during the time they were waiting for Ling Li to come out just now, and as expected, he got another stinky face.
Secondly, it was the fact that Nan Zhiyi lived opposite Ling Li - he only knew that Ling Li lived in Tian Zhengyan's house, but he didn't expect that the two good friends were basically opposites.
If he had known this, he should have persuaded Ling Li to move out of there as soon as possible.
In the end, it was Ling Li who relied on his heart obsession and never gave up the investigation - even, to the point that he didn't expect it at all.
He found that he really seemed to underestimate Ling Li.
Because of his work, Zhu Jinchuan has been in contact with many criminal cases, and in the first few years, many times he scolded the defendant for being shameless and unreasonable, while defending the scum in court.
Personal emotions and work should be clearly separated so that talents will not collapse.
If it is said that a person like Ling Li has to be involved in a case of four dead people for many years and bear the turbulent undercurrent alone, then when there is already a legal answer to this case, no matter whether the result is good or bad, he should stop the loss in time.
She's been dragged down for years, and she shouldn't be addicted to it forever.
So all along, he has tried his best to let Ling Li have less contact with the case nine years ago, whether it is Zhou Qingchun coming to the door, or Ling Li's family's illness before, it is often at that juncture, and when he has to say, he will tell her as little as possible.
He thought that if he didn't help her, she would be able to stop, but he didn't expect that Nan Zhiyi and Zhong Chengheng's daughter would be involved in this matter, and the three laymen of criminal investigation were independent of the police to investigate, and it was a case nine years ago.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but express his opinion: "The girl who goes out alone is often the victim who is most likely to be targeted by criminals, and now one is missing, whether it is related to the case, or is it really because there is a black hand behind the scenes, it is beyond the scope of your control, and now you can only wait for news." ”
Nan Zhiyi and Ling Li looked sideways at him at the same time, Zhu Jinchuan's expression was calm, and he continued: "Second sister, go home with me, you need to rest, and you also need to calm down." ”
Ling Li suddenly raised her voice and resisted strongly: "No, I won't go back, I'm going to wait for the result here." ”
"Don't be stubborn, okay?" Zhu Jinchuan's voice became serious, "No matter what reason Zhong Zhuowen disappeared, all you can do now is to wait, and don't make trouble for the police anymore." ”
He paused, with some blame in his eyes: "It's good to leave professional things to professional people, if you feel that you have doubts in your heart, you should tell the police, instead of running around like a headless fly, not only causing trouble to others, but also not being able to get out yourself." ”
"I ......" Ling Li only said the beginning and couldn't continue, because she found that the truth in his words was really something she couldn't refute.
It's because of her obsession that someone is now victimized, and she is still a little girl who was implicated nine years ago, and now she is missing and her life and death are unknown.
Her vision was gradually blurred by tears, and the guilt in her heart covered up all other emotions, just wanting time to go back, and resolutely not letting Zhong Zhuowen participate in this case.
