"Let's take a trip to the east gate of your school, our car has arrived." Gu Zhi received a call from Fang Yan when he was out of school.

"Okay, come right here." Gu Zhi responded.

He also wanted to know how far things had been investigated.

"Are you going?" He turned his head and asked You Shang, who was immersed in the question. It's normal for You Shang to do questions after school, but they are not in a hurry to go to the cafeteria to grab a place, so it's nothing.

You Shang shook his head, Gu Zhi thought he wouldn't go, but he said, "I'm going, wait for me, I'll do it right away." ”

"Whew—alright, let's go." This kind of finale is an appetizer for him before lunch, and he does it every day.

……

"Do you think you've found a clue about the suspect? Or found the case file for that fire or something? You Shang asked while sitting in the car.

"Let's hope, it'll be easy, and we won't have anything to do." Gu Zhi nodded and said.

"Don't you regret it? Investigating a case by hand, didn't you like detective novels and detective games before? ”

"That was when I was a kid, and now ...... It's different now. Gu Zhi shook his head and said, "The events in detective novels are fictional after all, in fact, there are not so many coincidences, if you are unlucky, even if your reasoning ability and reconnaissance ability are strong, you will not see through the whole incident." ”

"Kind of makes sense. Whatever, if there is something to do, it will be solved, if it is not our business, just leave. You Shang said casually.

"Pretty much." Gu Zhi nodded and said, and after speaking, he leaned on the backrest of the saddle and closed his eyes to recuperate.

……

"I called you here this time to think about the direction of the investigation together." Fang Yan said solemnly.

"In other words, there is no breakthrough in your investigation?" Gu Zhi asked.

"Hmm. I tried all the directions that I had planned before, but ......" Fang Yan shook his head.

"For example?"

"We searched all over the open area, called up yesterday's surveillance, and didn't see any suspicious behavior." Fang Yan said, "I have also investigated the origins of the three victims, only one is a native of Arbor City, and the others have settled here." ”

"What about fires? Have you found similar fires from more than a decade ago and more than 20 years ago? You Shang asked.

"This, there is!" Fang Yan nodded.

"That's going to be easy." You Shang said happily.

"No," Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Found is found, but there are too many, more than twenty." It's all a similar situation. ”

"Are they all from Arbor City?" Gu Zhi asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"And if you narrow it down to 'one boy survived,' how many are left?"

"Wait, I'll take a look." Fang Yan opened his laptop and said.

"Found it, there are four." Fang Yan said as he pressed the keyboard.

"Then try to narrow down the area of the incident to within three kilometers of Wenhua Road?"

"Okay, okay, there are two cases."

"What about time? How long did it happen? ”

"One from 2005, one from 2007."

"So, what about the exact location?"

"The one in 2005 was on Dabei Road, and the one in 2007 was on Xihua Road."

"It's all next to the cultural road. I think we can start with these two incidents, and we should be rewarded. What do you guys think? Gu Zhi said

"You are based on the assumption that the little boy survived, I still think before, the little boy should not be able to escape to death, burned to death, smashed to death by the burned wooden beam, in the situation we saw, no matter how you think about it, you can't escape." You Shang shook his head and said.

Fang Yan didn't interject, in Gu Zhi's eyes, he should be supporting You Shang's statement.

And in fact, it was because he hadn't entered the dream at all, so he could only pretend to be silent at this time.

"However, if it weren't for the parties, who would have nothing to do and would bring up the old things again more than ten years later?" Gu Zhi asked rhetorically.

"Stop—we haven't found our way yet, so it's better to give it a try, it's better to try than to stand still, at least to prove that one direction is wrong." Fang Yan saw that they had an argument, and there were signs of a quarrel, so he immediately stopped.

"I'll do whatever I want." You Shang said casually, without expressing strong opposition.

"I think so." Gu Zhi said.

"Let's start with the incident in 2005. I'm going to get the case file transferred. ”

……

"The name of this survivor is Yang Lei, he is 26 years old this year, married, and has opened his own powder restaurant, which is on Dabei Road." Fang Yan said with the file.

"Great North Road? It's very close, so it seems that there is indeed a motive for the crime. Gu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Are we going to go directly to him?" If he's the suspect, wouldn't we be startling? ”

"And what if not? Isn't it embarrassing that people now have marriages and careers, and as a result, we used to uncover other people's scars, which is even worse. You Shang said.

"Then let's go and observe it secretly, and if he shows his feet, or if he has suspicious behavior, we will continue to follow up. That's fine. ”

"I think so." Gu Zhi nodded and said.

"I don't have a problem." You has not yet objected.

"Let's go, let's go so close." Fang Yan walked out of the ward with the two of them.

After they walked out, the two men in black who were guarding the door began to talk.

"Hey, did the head just say that he was going to take them to observe in the dark?" The man in black on the left suddenly asked.

"That's what I think I said. What's wrong? The man in black on the right was a little curious about his sudden question.

"Have you forgotten? Observe in the dark! ”

"Forgot what? Uh-head? Secretly observing? Boom-"

Both of them swallowed and began to pray silently in their hearts.

Peaceful!

……

A corner of the ward at this time.

"What the hell came to mind? Huh? Who asked me? A gray-eyed aunt muttered as she touched her head.

"Looks like a lad. No, it's a girl, and she's still a pretty beautiful girl. ”

"What did she ask me for?"

……

Walking on the cold and windy streets, Gu Zhi felt goosebumps on his body.

In this cold world, only a warm baby can bring warmth to himself.

However, I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't take into account that I would be moving outside, so Gu Zhi didn't prepare too many cold measures.

"W-when will it arrive?" With a mouthful of white mist, Gu Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"If you're still squatting at the entrance of the hospital, you won't be able to get there for a day." You Shang said with a dark face.
