The week is fast, and inadvertently, it's Friday again.

As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Li Xiaohe received a call from Xu Jianjun, asking him to go to the county seat. The other party didn't elaborate on the phone, and Li Xiaohe didn't ask in detail, so he simply arranged some matters and left the township by car.

At five o'clock, Li Xiaohe returned to the county seat, and after letting the driver leave, he went back to his home in the county seat. After entering the house, I was busy with opening windows and ventilation.

At six o'clock, Xu Jianjun came with packed food.

While setting up the meal, Li Xiaohe said: "Lao Xu, when I come back, I always trouble you and let you break the bank, so I don't want to go." ”

Xu Jianjun snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to trouble me, hurry up and find one, it's so ...... all day long"

"Gotta got, don't talk about it, don't mention it today." Li Xiaohe waved his hand to interrupt, "You specifically asked me to come back, what's the matter?" ”

"What can it be? I'll see you over the weekend and sit down with you old bachelor. As he spoke, Xu Jianjun picked up his chopsticks.

"Really? Okay, let's have a couple of drinks. Li Xiaohe reached out to get the beer.

"Don't drink, don't drink, maybe there will be a task in a moment." Xu Jianjun took care of his own meal.

The other party didn't drink, so Li Xiaohe had to do it and start eating.

Sitting at the dinner table, if the two men don't drink, it seems that there is less to talk about. It took less than twenty minutes, and the two of them divided five by two, finished eating, and pushed away the dishes and chopsticks.

After cleaning up the catering garbage, Li Xiaohe also sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette for the other party and himself, and then said, "Lao Xu, what's going on?" ”

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Xu Jianjun spit out a sentence: "Yao Peng has appeared." ”

"Where?" Although this news was also expected, Li Xiaohe was still surprised, "Did you catch it?" ”

Xu Jianjun waved his hand: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." This morning, the team received a report from Maosheng District, Maozhong City, saying that two people had been attacked, one of whom was the deputy director of the district agricultural office, and the other was a suburban farmer. The two were attacked last night, the peasant was at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the deputy director was at 11:30 in the middle of the night. Both of them suffered stab wounds, one in the shoulder and one in the head, and the other in the back. Although it is not possible to obtain the victim's testimony now, both of them have a common characteristic, that is, they both provided information for solving the case in the investigation of the draft planting of Cordyceps Summer, and the deputy director has participated in many times.

There was an interval of more than 20 minutes between the two injuries, and no bystanders were present at the time, and it was a neighbor who heard the call for help and sent them to the hospital. By the time neighbors arrived at the scene, the killer had fled and the injured were unconscious. Judging from the wounds of the two people, it is the same type of dagger, if it was done by the same person, it would be enough to drive between the two places. The entrance of the deputy director is an asphalt road, and there are no ruts in sight, but there are rut marks at the door of the villagers, but no footprints have been found, no valid fingerprints have been collected, and there is no relevant surveillance video. ”

"Since nothing has been discovered, just because the two of them have provided evidence to solve the case, can it be proved that Yao Peng did it?" Li Xiaohe asked.

"However, a cigarette was found at the door of the farmer's house, and this cigarette was a complete 'Cangji No. 2', with two incomplete fingerprints on the cigarette filter. After comparison and identification, the two incomplete fingerprints were consistent with the fingerprints of Yao Peng's right thumb and index finger collected earlier. Xu Jianjun replied.

Li Xiaohe let out an "oh": "So, the attacker is Yao Peng, 'five. 15' The arsonist must have been him? ”

Xu Jianjun said: "It should be, but the cigarette butt at the scene of the fire was washed by the rain, and no valuable information was extracted on it." ”

"By the way, I was originally going to commit a crime, and I didn't leave any footprints, so why did I leave cigarettes and cigarette butts at the scene?" Li Xiaohe asked questions again.

"That's not surprising. The cigarette butt at the scene of the fire would have burned to ashes if it hadn't rained for a few minutes. It's just that there are variables in the process of ignition, which the arsonist did not expect. Xu Jianjun said, "I also expressed doubts about the cigarettes I found last night. The comrades of the district bureau told me that the cigarette was found in the middle of two ruts. Combined with the location of the discovery, the integrity of the cigarette and fingerprints, they analyzed that the suspect must have dropped the cigarette under the car when he picked up the cigarette, and the person could not find it in time, or did not have time to find it at all. ”

"If it's really Yao Peng, he's too bold. Now that Maosheng District and Siyuan County are arresting him, and the entire Maozhong City is also paying attention, he dares to come out one after another? It doesn't make sense. Li Xiaohe expressed doubts.

Xu Jianjun hurriedly said: "Lao Li, there is nothing strange about this. It is precisely because many places are arresting him now, and the wanted notices have been sent to the whole country, so he is a frightened bird, and it is not safe to hide there. It is likely that when the general issue was issued, he had not had time to hide in remote mountainous areas or frontier areas of old and young, and he may also understand the truth of 'dark under the lights', and he has been operating in Maozhong City. As for him arsoning and hurting people, that is his sick mentality, he is probably venting, or he may be demonstrating, or both. For this kind of psychopathic guy, you can't infer it with common sense, you have to be more careful. ”

"It's okay, isn't he a liar, I've been waiting for him. Since I first arrived in Shuangsheng Township last year, I have been in contact with this matter for more than half a year now, and it took a lot of effort to recover half of the money, and I am waiting to recover the other half from him. He Erlai was caught on December 14 last year, Ma Yishan, that is, Ge Erhai, was caught on February 10 this year, and on February 23, the villagers returned 1.57 million yuan of defrauded money. But this Yao Peng, he hasn't seen a shadow for more than three months, that's not all, he went to the compound on the fifteenth of this month and set a fire, he was too crazy. If he doesn't come out, as long as he shows up, I will weigh how many pounds and taels he has. "Li Xiaohe doesn't care.

"Lao Li, let me tell you, this is not a joke, Yao Peng's guy will appear at any time. Judging from the fact that he injured four people twice in a row to the retaliation and arson a few days ago, he can do anything. I'm here to tell you about this when you come back this time, and you have to pay attention to it. Xu Jianjun's face was serious, "Don't think that if you can fight a few times, seven will not accept and eight will not be angry." Your few strokes will be good against ordinary people, and there is no comparison with these outlaws at all. They don't fight, as long as they die, when the machete comes out, your two meat slaps will be given in vain. ”

Li Xiaohe sighed: "Look at what you said about him, as if he would kill someone." Didn't he hurt four people, and he didn't want a single life, how can this be explained? ”

Xu Jianjun scolded: "Damn, you guy, the more you talk, the more energetic you get." Tell you, I can point to you and drink with me, and I don't want to go to the hospital to see you. ”

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Li Xiaohe smiled "hehe": "Lao Xu, don't don't, I know you're good for me, I'll pay attention." ”

Xu Jianjun's face was cold, and he stared at the other party: "Remember, that's a vicious person, you are definitely his key target, don't lose the drinking guy." ”

Being stared at by Xu Jianjun like this, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel a chill: "This guy, what are you doing with me so fiercely, I know." ”

"Lao Li, stay at home honestly, I'll hurry up and get that guy down, let's all rest assured. I went to the bureau, and I will continue to connect with the Maosheng District Bureau, and strive to find clues as soon as possible. Don't you go, do you hear? Xu Jianjun's tone was full of concern, and he stood up as he spoke.

"I hear you." Li Xiaohe stood up and solemnly responded to his good friend, "Lao Xu, you should also pay attention to safety, and once there is news from him, notify him in time." ”

Xu Jianjun pursed his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"Bang", "Bang", the sound of opening and closing the door sounded, Xu Jianjun's figure disappeared outside the door, and a sound of footsteps went away.

Leaving the door, Li Xiaohe quickly came to the window. In the dark twilight, the familiar figure flashed into the courtyard and ran towards the off-road vehicle not far away.

"Didi", the off-road vehicle honked, left its original position, and drove towards the outside of the hospital.

Li Xiaohe understood that although Xu Jianjun did not look back downstairs, he obviously felt the attention of the upstairs.

In the courtyard, there was no familiar car, so Li Xiaohe withdrew his gaze.

Turning his head to look, he was in this empty room, and Li Xiaohe's heart was also empty.

After a little fluting, Li Xiaohe hurriedly closed the window in front of him; He ran to the other rooms, closed the open windows, and checked that they were sturdy.

With Xu Jianjun next to him just now, Li Xiaohe was still pulling hard on a thin donkey, pretending to be calm, but now a thick fear came to his heart. That's an outlaw who draws a knife when he sees someone, and he is also an ordinary person, how can he not be afraid? When I turned my head, the glass seemed to be black but not black, and the outside was also full of shadows, which added to the terrifying atmosphere. It turns out that it is so terrible to be alone at home, if there is a person next to you, even a woman, even a child, can be brave. Emptiness, loneliness, fear, and a variety of wishes are intertwined in Li Xiaohe's heart.

"Ding Woo Bang", the bell rang suddenly.

Hearing this sound at first glance, Li Xiaohe was startled, calmed down a little, and then pressed the connect button and shouted, "Mom." ”

Mother's voice came out: "Xiaohe, where are you?" Are these days good? Mom always has nightmares, I'm afraid you'll get sick from disasters. ”

Warmth and sentimentality came together, and Li Xiaohe said softly: "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Xiaohe, you are there alone, how can your mother rest assured, your mother is still ......" The mother nagged again.

Taking advantage of his mother's words, Li Xiaohe went around the house again and closed the curtains, only then did he feel that the house was not so empty, and he felt a lot more bottomed up. He couldn't help but tease himself: Li Xiaohe, Li Xiaohe, your courage is too small.

"Xiaohe, are you listening? Hey, don't talk about it, you will pretend to be stupid when you talk about it. Mother's voice stopped abruptly.

Li Xiaohe woke up and was about to speak, but there was no sound in the mobile phone.
