"Uncle Xu, this is Yang Qianye, my friend."

Xu Lan looked at the girl brought by Song Yingchen and smiled kindly and distantly.

"Hello Uncle Xu." Chiba greeted.

"Your girlfriend?" Xu Lan looked at Song Yingchen with an indecent expression.

Chiba blushed.

"Oh no, she rents my house and we're good friends." Song Yingchen was calm and did not feel embarrassed by this kind of joke at all.

"Sit down."

beckoning the two to sit down, Xu Lan poured two cups of hot water from the warm water bottle.

"I don't have any coffee and milk tea here, so I'll just drink some water." He looked out the window, the yellow leaves fled from the trees one by one, and the whole world was depressed and lonely.

"Chiba, you tell Uncle Xu, it's okay, he's his own person."

Song Yingchen's eyes gave Chiba the courage to recount the adventure, and she dragged the stool forward and cleared her throat.

"Uncle Xu, I stumbled upon a place and suspected that there was something unsightly there."

"Heh, there are unsightly things everywhere, it depends on what you say is special." Xu Lan said meaningfully.

After decades as a police officer, he has long changed from an ambitious and enthusiastic young man to a down-and-out police officer who is familiar with the world and has no choice but to compromise. The ambition to uphold justice has been strangled by countless cases of dancing power and collusion between officials and businessmen, and a heart is wrapped like a white heart. It's not that he no longer believes in righteousness, but he loses faith in it.

"The case of Luo Damao that you are investigating, I guess it has something to do with this place."

"Luo Damao?" Xu Lan flipped through the file on the table and came back to her senses, "Is that the security guard of the Sakura Apartment?" ”

"Yes, my family is in the Sakura Apartment, and now Chiba lives there, and they know each other." Song Yingchen added, "She also just learned that Luo Damao's family called the police. ”

"Oh, tell me more about the situation."

Chiba then recounted how he infiltrated the pharmaceutical factory that day, how he entered the secret tunnel, and how he escaped in a hurry.

"What does this have to do with that Luo Damao?" Xu Lan frowned, a little puzzled.

"I picked up a sour horn in the tunnel."

"Sour horn?"

"Da Mao's hometown is rich in sour horns, and every time he comes back from visiting relatives, he will bring some to me."

Xu Lan smiled disrespectfully, as if to say that you little girl has watched too many movies.

"So you think his disappearance has something to do with that place?"

"I don't know, but I'm panicking. He doesn't usually leave the apartment, and even when he's not working, he spends his time in the office. His master said that the last time he was seen was in the apartment, and then he didn't know why he suddenly disappeared. I also went to ask, and I thought he had returned to his hometown. ”

"I heard Song Yingchen say that you were kidnapped before?" Xu Lan blew her nose and asked curiously.

"Yes."

"I know about that case, the director of the city bureau personally supervised the investigation, and the kidnappers were very cunning and played the police around. You're very brave, I heard that if it weren't for you, that rich boy might have died in the well. Xu Lan said and took a sip of water, and then changed her words, "But brave people are also rich in imagination, will you be too sensitive to the reaction of that pharmaceutical factory?" ”

"There's a secret tunnel there, it's deep, there must be something down there."

Seeing that his face was full of distrust, Chiba tried his best to prove that what he said was true.

"Pharmaceutical factories have always had cellars to store special means of production that are protected from light and heat, and it's no surprise that you stumble into them. It's normal that the underground light is not good, and it is somewhat gloomy...... Girl, are you thinking too much? ”

"But I picked up the sour horn."

"The acid horn cannot be used as physical evidence, if you pick up Luo Damao's watch, mobile phone or clothes or something, you can use it as a reference. Besides, sour horns are not a strange thing, only he has Luo Damao? Maybe a child in the neighborhood slipped in to play, and it was possible to lose the snack. ”

"I know that sour horns are not a common thing, but they are not unusual, and this alone makes it a bit far-fetched to assume that Da Mao is in it. But Uncle Xu, my intuition was very accurate, it was dark and I was running for my life in a panic, and I didn't expect to pick up this thing at all. The first time I saw it, I immediately thought of Da Mao, and I didn't know he was missing at the time. ”

"You mean you have a sixth sense, and you're pretty reliable?"

Xu Lan asked sarcastically, looked at Song Yingchen again, and Song Yingchen helped explain again.

"Oh yes, Chiba went to Luo Damao before, and the property manager said that he left his job for no reason, and he couldn't contact his family. Everyone thought that he had just gotten married, and would he worry about his wife going home secretly, so he didn't care. As a result, yesterday the family came to report that the person was missing, and they also pulled a banner outside the apartment to find the property management dignitary, and now they are still messing with it. ”

Xu Lan nodded vaguely. "It's not possible to say that someone has an accident yet, but it's possible to run away from home......" He looked at Chiba with a sharp look, and suddenly believed his instincts. In addition to picking up sour horns in the dark tunnel, what else did you find? ”

"It was pitch black below, and there were several passages, and I was about to walk towards one of them when I heard some strange noises."

"What sound?" Xu Lan stood up from her seat, as if she had been touched by a sensitive nerve.

"A lot, there's the sound of a machine running, but I'm not sure what it is, it's like weaving, clanging." Chiba raised her face forty-five degrees, trying to recall the scene, "And the sound of dripping water, the sound of carts...... As soon as I was about to muster up the courage to go inside, I heard someone approaching. ”

"And then you slipped away?"

"Yes."

"How did you think of running there?"

"I ......" She didn't plan to tell about tracking Shi Ran, but in the face of the experienced criminal police, she knew that it was futile to conceal any detail, so she honestly confessed, "I'm going to follow someone." ”

"Who?"

"The manager of my company, once."

"Tell me about it." Xu Lan showed great interest.

So, she told Shi Ran about the leak, Steven's suspicion as a friend that he was deep in the casino, disappeared in ruins in plain clothes, and secretly followed.

After telling a large number of unbelievable stories, even Song Yingchen was stunned.

Xu Lan took out the e-cigarette from the cigarette box, first added e-liquid to the cartridge, and then knocked it on the table. Before putting the cigarette holder in his mouth, he did a lot of subtle preparations, but it was not because of the complicated steps of using e-cigarettes, but because he needed to think calmly about what Chiba said.

"Uncle Xu?" Song Yingchen stretched out his head and reminded him who was deep in thought.

"Are you here to report the crime or to provide information?" Xu Lan asked calmly and looked at the two.

The two young men looked at each other, noncommittal.

"If it is a report, we can't file a case, because the clues you provide are very vague, and there is no clear party, it is difficult to be convincing to lock Luo Damao with a sour corner." He took a puff of cigarette, the smoke he spit out was thick and white, and the smell of tobacco suddenly wafted above the room, "The manager's situation is also very vague, you have no proof that he appeared in the pharmaceutical factory, let alone what he was doing there, and as for the casino, it is even more fantastic." ”

"I ......"

"But I believe what you say, at least you won't be so bored as to come and make up a story full of holes with me." Xu Lan straightened her waist and said sincerely, "It's a pity that the police department can't take action to investigate because of what you said, in that case, there are so many people who report false police every day, and they won't tire people to death." ”

"I didn't report the false police...... Chiba was a little aggrieved and hung her head in annoyance.

"Then can we just wait?" Song Yingchen propped his hands on the table, leaning forward a little.

"That's pretty much it. The police department would rather have less than one more thing, and it will not file a case if it can not be filed, because once a case is filed, there is a requirement to solve the case, and if the case solving rate is not up to standard, the performance of the year-end assessment will be gone. So they wouldn't have sent out police to search the pharmaceutical factory based on what Miss Yang said. ”

Song Yingchen looked at Chiba regretfully.

Chiba read something else from Xu Lan's mouth.

"They won't, what about Uncle Xu?"

Xu Lan smiled knowingly.

She hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xu Lan.

"Help, Uncle Xu, Da Mao is the pillar of the family, and his family is dying. When I came here just now, I saw his daughter-in-law who had just married outside the apartment, and her eyes were swollen with tears. Think about it, if something really happens, how will their family live? ”

"Who said it wasn't, Luo Damao's colleagues all said that this young man is usually honest and honest, and it is naturally worrying that something happens to an honest person." Xu Lan sighed and put away the e-cigarette, "But I'm not on the front line now, and I don't have the qualifications to handle the case, so I can only go to the pharmaceutical factory you said in my personal name." If there is really something unsightly, go back to the bureau and report it. ”

"Then we'll go now." Chiba rushed out with an arrow, his anxiety overflowing.

Song Yingchen and Xu Lan were only slightly stunned, and then followed one after the other.

Xu Lan changed into civilian clothes, and the three of them called a taxi, stopped not far from the pharmaceutical factory, and then walked there.

"That's it." Chiba pointed to the pharmaceutical factory in front of him, and the horror of the day struck again, "You can climb over the wall in front and get in." ”

Xu Lan stepped forward and pushed the iron door, but she didn't expect the iron door to creak open.

"It's not locked." He said suspiciously.

Chiba also felt strange, but he didn't have time to think about it, since he had successfully entered the factory, the focus of the investigation had to be put in the strange warehouse.

"I'll go ahead, you two be careful." Xu Lan touched the gun on her waist that she hadn't used for a long time, unfamiliar, nervous and exciting.

He took the lead, and the three of them approached the storeroom, which still looked dilapidated and decayed, and the padlock on the door could be opened with a single pull.

With memory, Chiba took the two to the place where the wooden boxes were stacked, and without saying a word, they moved up with Xu Lan, and Song Yingchen was sentry.

But what happened under the wooden box made her unable to believe her eyes.

I knelt on the ground and touched and touched, but the iron plate that needed a handle to open was long gone.

"Is this it?" Xu Lan asked suspiciously.

There was not even a shadow of metal on the ground, and what appeared in front of me was a dirty, hard concrete floor.
