Li Xiaohe knows very well that if it weren't for personal relationships and not for the death or injury case, the criminal police team would not normally participate, let alone invite the brother county team to be so fortunate; If it weren't for Xu Jianjun's face, Director Zou of the Caoqiao Town Police Station would not have worked overtime overnight for this matter, and maybe he wouldn't have come that night. He knew that although it was just checking a person's house information, it was not a matter of one sentence, it needed to go through the county housing management bureau, not to mention that it was still in the middle of the night. So he said: "Lao Xu, it's hard work." I was also annoyed by the relationship between Zou and worked overtime overnight, which was really embarrassing. ”

"What's polite to me? As the saying goes, 'It's hard to find the police'! Old Zou, they don't have anything, he wants to find me, and I have to do the same. Xu Jianjun didn't care, "Anyway, it's just looking for them during the day today, and they, along with the housing management and land departments, are also off on weekends, and they have to come from home, so it's better to let them work first and then rest." ”

Li Xiaohe smiled, but he was worried: "Just based on the few words that that Huang sister-in-law heard, and there is no other information, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to go to the county seat of 100,000 people to find someone." ”

"What are you afraid of looking for a needle in a haystack, don't we often do this when we handle cases? This is still a shadow to refer to, and many times it is simply chasing the wind and shadows. Xu Jianjun laughed, "Just according to the information of the whistleblower, we found his residence, and found the rental content in it, and found the house here, and heard the news that he was suspected of haunting the county, which was smooth enough." ”

Thinking about what the other party said, it was also reasonable, but Li Xiaohe understood that the main thing was that Xu Jianjun was willing to help. Otherwise, there will be diametrically opposed statements on the same matter, and whether the attitude is positive or not will affect the progress of the case.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaohe and his entourage arrived at Xiyun County. This county is much larger than Siyuan, with nearly half more population, and the entire urban construction is also better than that of Siyuan County. Judging from what people are wearing, they should also be richer than Siyuan County.

After arriving at the county seat, I carefully looked at the small photos found in that room last night, and then everyone divided into two groups to look for He Erlai. The grouping was divided according to the vehicle they had ridden before, and Xu Jianjun's car was still him, Li Xiaohe and the couple. Although Qiao Manchu and his wife do not have any combat effectiveness, with the skills of Xu Jianjun and Li Xiaohe, it is absolutely no problem to deal with three or two like He Erlai, and Li Xiaohe can fight better than Xu Jianjun before. Now the problem is whether it can be fought or not, the key is to find the other party, and not let the other party run, otherwise it is useless to be strong.

After driving the off-road vehicle around the street twice, Xu Jianjun parked the car in the open space opposite the movie theater. Together with the vehicle next to it, the off-road vehicle is very ordinary, with no police logo painted on the body and no police lights installed on the roof. And the car number has also been tampered with, even if people who have seen this car, it is not easy to recognize.

In recent years, the county cinema does not show films at all, and has long become other commercial places, with an endless stream of large and small commodity exhibitions, and the Xiyun Cinema in front of you is doing such an exhibition.

In front of the cinema, a red gas arch was erected, on which were pasted the words "cashmere, warm clothes for profit tour exhibition". Under the swaying of the wind, the air arch kept shaking back and forth, as if it was about to fall or go away with the wind at any moment.

Men and women dressed in heavy clothes walked up and down the front steps of the cinema from time to time, and many people came out, carrying or carrying bulging bags.

Li Xiaohe and the others don't care about what these people do, let alone what they buy, but always pay attention to the faces of these men and women in and out, in order to find the target they are looking for.

Due to the cold weather and strong winds, almost everyone who entered and exited the cinema wore a hat, and some even wore a scarf outside. Even so, keep your head as low as possible, or raise your arms to cover your head and face.

When people are so armed, it is much more difficult to recognize faces. Don't say it's a distance, don't say that you haven't met each other, or just pass by, I'm afraid it may not be easy to recognize.

Xu Jianjun turned his head and instructed: "Qiao Manchu and Zhu Xiaohua, not only look at people's faces, but also pay attention to the movements of pedestrians." Once you find something suspicious, you should remind you immediately, understand? ”

"Understood." The couple spoke in unison, their eyes still staring at the pedestrians passing outside the car.

Half a day passed, and nothing was found. As expected, people are not much disappointed, and when it is convenient, they still exchange "squatting" experiences and talk about other interesting discoveries.

After lunch, everyone began to "squat" again, and the grouping remained the same.

Xu Jianjun drove around the street slowly twice more, and then stopped again at the same place in the morning, paying attention to the shopping army and other people outside the car.

Only at the beginning of the lanterns, I didn't find the target, and I "squatted" at the end of the day and stayed in a hotel in the county seat.

……

A new day has arrived, and everyone repeats yesterday's task again, and the grouping has not changed, but the position of the "squatting" has changed. Xu Jianjun went to the station in one group, and the other went to the opposite side of the cinema.

There are also a lot of people, but the difficulty of finding people is different. Yesterday, when I was opposite the movie theater, it was mainly because the pedestrians' faces were wrapped too tightly and it was not easy to see their faces clearly. The people entering and leaving the station today are not so tightly wrapped, but the shadowy faces on the vehicles and shuttles that flash from time to time still cause trouble to the screening work, and even misjudgment occurred several times, and they had to explain to the other party that they "recognized the wrong person".

His eyes were a little sour, but he didn't find He Erlai's figure, and the sun was already in the west, and the day was almost over. Today is Sunday, tomorrow I have to go to work as usual, and I have to rush back in the evening.

"That, that." Zhu Xiaohua suddenly shouted.

Qiao Manchu also echoed: "Like, like." ”

Looking in the direction of Zhu Xiaohua's finger, Li Xiaohe saw that there was a person in front of the right side of the vehicle, who was wearing a gray cotton suit and a hood on his head, riding a motorcycle and leaving quickly.

At this time, the off-road vehicle had already started and ran after the motorcycle.

Although the motorcycle ran so fast that it was even a little "floating", how could it be the opponent of the off-road vehicle? In a short time, they were less than ten meters apart. This is still an urban road, and if you change to an off-city road, I'm afraid you will have to stop the other party a long time ago.

Just as the off-road vehicle was about to overtake, the motorcycle suddenly turned right and entered an alley.

"Zi", the brakes sounded, and the off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Looking at the alley less than three meters, Li Xiaohe hurriedly said: "Lao Xu, you drive right at the traffic light in front of you, and block it on the opposite side of the alley, and I will chase after you from behind." With that, he pushed open the door and went into the alley.

When "pay attention to safety" came into his ears, Li Xiaohe had already run more than ten meters.

The alley is not wide, and it is crooked, and you have to pay attention to the residents who come out of the courtyard at any time, which seriously affects Li Xiaohe's running speed. Of course, this will definitely also slow down the motorcycle, which should be more affected.

Although he chased closely behind, after two turns, he could no longer see the shadow of the motorcycle, but there was no fork in the road he passed, so Li Xiaohe ran forward with strength.

After two more bends, the alley in front of me became clear, and at a glance you could see that the motorcycle was very close to the alley. Knowing that he couldn't catch up, Li Xiaohe shouted: "Stop, stop, the police car is already waiting for you at the entrance of the alley." ”

In fact, when he was on the street just now, he wanted to shout the same kind of words several times, but he was not completely sure of the identity of the other party, and he was driving a non-standard vehicle, so Li Xiaohe endured it. Now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't care so much about it, so he shouted.

The moving motorcycle suddenly flickered, and the "gray cotton suit" subconsciously looked back, and then drove forward again.

"Stop, you can't run. If I don't stop, I'm going to open the ......" stopped here, Li Xiaohe hurriedly stopped, and couldn't shout the latter word anymore.

Seeing that the motorcycle was about to rush out of the alley, the "gray cotton suit" turned around again, and the motorcycle body was crooked and almost fell. Rao was like this, and the engine went out, and the man had to start the motorcycle again.

"Tick...... Tick ......" The siren suddenly sounded, and an off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing the cylindrical police lights temporarily sucked on the roof of the car, as well as the smiling face in the driver's seat of the car, Li Xiaohe's heart was relieved.

"Bang Dang", the motorcycle that was about to exert its power suddenly fell, and the "gray cotton suit" lay on the ground together with the motorcycle. By the time he was about to get up, the three of them got out of the off-road vehicle and were already standing in front of him.

Xu Jianjun did not speak, but quietly observed the person lying on his side on the ground, watched the other party slowly pull out his right leg from under the motorcycle, and then slowly got up.

"It's not." Zhu Xiaohua said suddenly.

Li Xiaohe also heard Zhu Xiaohua's voice, and suddenly felt disappointed, but still looked forward to it.

The "gray cotton suit" raised his head and begged: "Spare me, comrade policeman, this is my first time." ”

Hearing the words of "gray cotton clothes", Li Xiaohe hoped to make a comeback.

"It's not."

"It's not him."

"Spare Your Life"

Qiao Manchu and his wife, and the voices of "gray cotton clothes" sounded alternately.

What's going on? One side says "no", and the other side begs for mercy. With a belly full of suspicion, Li Xiaohe came to the front and saw the round face of the "gray cotton suit" clearly, and his hopes were suddenly shattered.

"Comrade policeman, I stole this time, and I will never dare to do it again. You see, this is it, there is not much money in it at all. The "gray cotton suit" continued to beg, and took out a small black satchel from his arms.

"Open it and reveal the contents of the bag." Xu Jianjun commanded sharply.

"Eh", "gray cotton suit" agreed, trembling to pull the zipper, and pulled it several times before opening it. In the bag, three hundred-dollar bills were revealed, as well as some change, and then a small vanity box, toilet paper, and keys.

Li Xiaohe realized that it was purely an oolong, and it turned out that he had just encountered a thief. He looked up, and the sun was sinking in the west, and the day was about to pass again, and it seemed that today was blind again. I couldn't help but sigh secretly: It's really not easy to find a needle in a haystack.
