Cheng Liping was taken aback, hung up the phone, called He Yong and rushed to Tian Zicheng's house. Tian Zicheng stood downstairs, saw Cheng Liping coming, threw herself into Cheng Liping's arms, sobbed and cried: "Yao Yuanyuan was still saying when she went back last night that maybe they wanted to take revenge on her, if they didn't contact me today, it would be an accident." I called her just now, but no one answered, and I called again just now, and someone over there answered, but I didn't say a word, and I hung up again. I'll hit again, it's always turned off, you quickly check, what's going on. ”

Cheng Liping had never seen Tian Zicheng so flustered and nervous, gently patted her on the back, helped her upstairs into the room, and said, "Orange, calm down and speak slowly." ”

Tian Zicheng said again, it turned out that Yao Yuanyuan didn't want to come to the bar to play last night, and it was Zhang Xiuping and Liang Chao who forced her to come over. When Yao Yuanyuan followed Tian Zicheng out of the bar, Liang Chao called to warn Yao Yuanyuan to be careful in the future, go against them, and don't know how she died. Yao Yuanyuan was very scared, saying that Liang Chao knew his own address, and he really didn't dare to go back tonight, so it was better to find a hotel and open a room. Tian Zicheng tried to persuade Yao Yuanyuan to live in his house, but for some reason, Yao Yuanyuan refused. When she got up this morning, Tian Zicheng wanted to call Yao Yuanyuan and invite her to dinner in the evening, but she couldn't get in touch.

Cheng Liping frowned, yesterday's group of boys were all locked up in the city bureau like himself, could it be that when they left in the middle of the night, they found Yao Yuanyuan? If this is really the case, maybe Yao Yuanyuan will really be more than lucky. Cheng Liping did not hesitate and immediately called Du Deyong. Du Deyong patiently listened to Cheng Liping's words, and said with a wry smile: "You go to the police station in the jurisdiction to report the case first, and they will deal with it." I'm here in the criminal investigation brigade, and I can't go beyond the death without instructions from above. ”

Cheng Liping was also dizzy, and only after hearing Du Deyong's words did he react and call the Chengguan Town Police Station again. After the police recorded it, they told Cheng Liping in a tone that was not emotional: "The police can only file a case if they have been missing for more than 24 hours." ”

Cheng Li almost dropped his mobile phone calmly, but Tian Zicheng was by his side, and he couldn't show it too obviously, so he comforted Tian Zicheng a few words, and immediately hurried downstairs. "He Yong, call all of us. The Shell Hotel is closed today. The decoration workers in Chengjia Village have temporarily stopped working for a day, and the entire Licheng will be searched for me, and I must find that Yao Yuanyuan. ”

He Yong's second monk was puzzled, stared at his eyes and asked, "Brother Cheng, who is Yao Yuanyuan?" ”

Cheng Liping closed his eyes, thought carefully about Yao Yuanyuan's dress last night, and briefly described it to He Yong. He Yong understood the deviation of ability, but seeing Cheng Liping's ugly face, he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly called Liu Weiguo. Cheng Liping thought for a moment and drove straight to the Lion Bar. The bar hasn't opened yet, only two security guards are standing at the door chatting.

Seeing Cheng Liping, the two security guards were like facing a great enemy, carrying rubber sticks and shouting: "It's not open, come back at night." ”

Cheng Liping took out his mobile phone, found the previous caller number, and dialed it back. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Cheng Liping said coldly: "I'm at the door of your bar, give you two minutes, and if you don't let me in, I'll go in directly." ”

The other party didn't even think about it, and said neatly: "Come in directly." ”

Cheng Liping hung up his phone and walked quickly to the bar. How dare the two security guards stop him, but in order to avoid the foreman's punishment, he still pretended to follow Cheng Liping, and kept drinking and ordered Cheng Liping to withdraw immediately.

Sitting next to the bar was an old man, roughly in his sixties. The head flowers are sparse and white, and the whole face is covered with skin and bones, and it is thin and numb. Cheng Liping took out a coin from his coat pocket, slapped it on the table of the bar, and said unceremoniously: "You want a dollar for compensation." ”

The old man took the coin in his hand and looked at it several times before he said, "Okay, those two are clear." ”

Cheng Liping said: "There is one more thing, I want to take a look at last night's monitoring." ”

The security guard behind him tugged at Cheng Liping's arm and tried to pull him out. The old man raised his hand, motioned for the security guard to withdraw, and said slowly: "The monitoring next to the 1123 box has been taken away by the people of the city bureau yesterday. ”

Cheng Liping said: "It's okay for the gate, I just want to take two photos." ”

The old man looked at Cheng Liping, slowly stood up, and said, "The computer room is on the second floor, come with me." ”

When he went upstairs, Cheng Liping found that the old man's legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient. Following him to the computer room, Cheng Liping found the surveillance video of Yao Yuanyuan's arrival yesterday, took a few side faces with his mobile phone, and sent them to Liu Weiguo and He Yong respectively, instructing them to distribute it to all the small workers.

"Thank you." Cheng Liping said.

"You go get busy first." The old man said, "My surname is Zhou, please help me if I have something." When you're done with your business, please come back again. ”

Cheng Liping felt that the old man had no malice, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely come over." ”

At the same time, Du Deyong also arranged for several police officers to investigate the city's hotels and guesthouses, trying to find where Yao Yuanyuan stayed last night. But after several hours of investigation, nothing was found. Du Deyong became popular, and a call was made to Liang Chao's mobile phone, but what was surprising was that Liang Chao directly refused.

Du Deyong couldn't cry or laugh, and then asked people to check Liang Chao's movements. The two police officers investigated for a long time and came back to report: "After Liang Chao left the city bureau yesterday, he went into the Internet café to play games, and he hasn't come out yet." ”

Du Deyong finally sent someone to inquire about Yao Yuanyuan's identity information, showing that she was from Suxu City and temporarily lived in a private house on South Street. Du Deyong personally took someone over to take a look, and the house was neatly cleaned up, and there was no sign of coming back at all.

"I'm ready to step in." Du Deyong called Cheng Liping and told him, "Did you find anything over there?" ”

Cheng Liping's tone was a little tired, and he said, "Not yet." ”

Du Deyong said: "Don't worry, maybe she left Licheng. She is from Suxu and is from Linshi. ”

Cheng Liping was silent for a while and said, "No, something happened to her." ”

Du Deyong was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"The clerk at the Shell Hotel has found her ID card."

Du Deyong asked for the address, sounded the siren, and drove at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour to the place Cheng Liping said. This is a suburb of the northern part of the city, just a few kilometers from the county dividing line to the north. Although it is a traffic artery at the border, the economy is poorly developed, and the streets are lined with dilapidated two-story buildings.

Yao Yuanyuan's ID card was found by a sanitation worker, and when the worker at the Shell Hotel came here, it happened that the sanitation worker was also looking for the owner on the street. Xiao Gong only glanced at it, and immediately called Cheng Liping excitedly. After Cheng Liping drove over, he asked in more detail, and it turned out that Yao Yuanyuan's ID card was lost in the grass on the side of the road, covered by a leaf. Du Deyong asked again, and the sanitation worker thought that something was wrong, so he trembled with fright, and stammered and repeated it.

Du Deyong looked along the road for a while, then suddenly turned around and shouted at Cheng Liping, "Get in the car." ”

Cheng Liping pointed to his Great Wall and said, "I have a car." ”

Du Deyong yelled: "Get in the car!" ”

Cheng Liping had no choice but to ask the worker at the Shell Hotel to contact Liu Weiguo and ask him to come over and drive the car away.

Waiting for Cheng Liping to get into the car, Du Deyong kicked the accelerator, and the police car drove forward at a high speed like an arrow off the string. Drive out of the suburbs and onto gangue-paved country roads. The villages are not too far apart, and are full of poplar trees, which are most common in the north. In patches of flat farmland, corn has grown knee-high.

Cheng Liping frowned and said, "What did you find?" ”

Du Deyong pursed his lips and said, "No, it's just intuition." ”

Cheng Liping sighed and was speechless. After entering the country road, Du Deyong slowed down and kept looking out the window. Near the county border, a wide open area appeared in the nearby farmland. Du Deyong stopped the car and said, "That's the Jiehe, the scientific name is Baohe, and it is marked on the map of Licheng." ”

Cheng Liping nodded and followed Du Deyong out of the car.

The two walked forward along the gap in the farmland, and it took more than half an hour to come to the Bao River. On both sides of the Bao River, the wild grass grows unusually vigorously, and many unnamed wildflowers sway in the wind, exuding a charming fragrance. Looking downstream along the river, a few hundred meters away, there is a semi-abandoned stone bridge.

"I'll look upstream from here, you go downstream, cross the bridge and walk two miles, and look carefully at both sides of the riverbank." Du Deyong said inexplicably.

Cheng Liping didn't trust his intuition at all, but since he came with him, let's listen to him once, after all, he was a policeman, and he came over with all his might.

The two walked in different directions with their backs to each other. Cheng Liping not only carefully observed everything by the river, but also carried it to inspect the nearby cornfields. However, according to Du Deyong's instructions, he walked for nearly two kilometers and found nothing. I went around to the other side of the bridge and searched on the other side of the river for more than ten minutes, but found nothing.

Cheng Liping was a little annoyed, this is not a blind man touching an elephant, if you really rely on this investigation, you can find Yao Yuanyuan in the Year of the Monkey. was complaining about Du Deyong in his heart, and his mobile phone rang suddenly. A glance at the caller number, it was actually Du Deyong.

"Found it." Du Deyong said three words concisely and hung up directly. Cheng Liping's heart was cold, and he ran over.

Looking up from the position of the bridge, about 1,500 meters upstream, Du Deyong sat on the edge of the farmland, calling the city bureau and beating the dirt beneath him. Cheng Liping took a closer look, and among the messy weeds, a snow-white calf was exposed. The feet are very delicate, and the toenails are painted with bright red nail polish. Cheng Liping didn't need to look at it anymore, thinking of the red lipstick on Yao Yuanyuan's mouth last night, he knew that this person was Yao Yuanyuan nine times out of ten.
