Just when Xu Lang thought of Zhang Jinzhong, took out his mobile phone and was about to call the comrades from the police station in charge of taking care of Zhang Jinzhong in the hospital to ask about Zhang Jinzhong's situation, Lai Pi came back.

In fact, when Lai Pi came back, Xu Lang and the others were busy with other things, and they didn't notice Lai Pi at all, but after they smelled a terrible smell, they all turned their heads and looked at the door, and then they saw a look of embarrassment, as if Lai Pi had just crawled out of the sewer.

"Lai Pi, you fell into the sewer"

Fan Yang looked at Lai Pi with a look of a ghost, covering his sexy lips with one hand, and asked in surprise.

Xu Lang, Ding Haoqiong and Lu Xing also looked at Lai Pi, they were all very curious, but they just asked Lai Pi to go to the place where he was imprisoned according to Zhang Jinzhong to see, how could Lai Pi be like this

Lai Pi walked towards Xu Lang and the others, and said helplessly as he walked, "It's not that I fell into the sewer, but I'd rather fall into the sewer myself than go to that kind of place again." ”

As Lai Pi approached, the unpleasant smell became more and more intense, and the CY office area, which was originally very fresh, suddenly became turbid with the appearance of Lai Pi.

Fan Yang and the others watched Lai Pi approach, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his nose, subconsciously took a few steps back, and looked at Lai Pi with strange eyes, obviously, although they wanted to know what Lai Pi had discovered, but now, they were even more reluctant to get close to Lai Pi, after all, the smell was too bad, and even Xu Lang subconsciously frowned.

Lai Pi ignored Fan Yang and them, but walked to the position that Luo Jiayan had done just now, sat down, and sat down on the chair, obviously, Lai Pi was tired.

After Xu Lang saw this scene, he glanced at Lu Xing, and after Lu Xing saw it, he immediately got up and went to the water dispenser, took a glass of warm water and handed it to Lai Pi.

Lai Pi was not polite to Lu Xing, he directly reached out and took the disposable cup, put the cup to his mouth and drank it in a big gulp.

After Lai Pi finished drinking, Xu Lang looked at Lai Pi and asked, "Have you found the place where Zhang Jinzhong was imprisoned?"

Lai Pi handed the cup in his hand to Lu Xing, and did not answer Xu Lang's question immediately, but said to Lu Xing, "Please give me another cup." ”

Lu Xing was a little helpless, but he still walked to the water dispenser with a cup and filled Lai Pi with another glass of water and handed it to Lai Pi.

After Lai Pi took it, he drank the cup in one gulp.

After drinking the water, Lai Pi flattened the disposable cup, threw it into the trash, and burped, then looked at Xu Lang, nodded and said, "Found it." ”

"Where?" asked Xu Lang hurriedly.

Lai Pi looked at Xu Lang, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You may not believe it when you say it, that unfinished building is only one kilometer away from where we found Zhang Jinzhong." ”

"So, the place where Zhang Jinzhong was imprisoned is indeed an unfinished building," Xu Lang asked with a frown.

Lai Pi nodded and said, "It's indeed an unfinished building, and it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time." ”

"You're in," Xu Lang asked.

Lai Pi nodded.

"Something found"

"At first, I didn't find anything, except for weeds and all kinds of garbage, there was nothing in this unfinished building, but when I went to the basement, I found a lot of things inside."

"What are they?" asked Xu Lang.

Lai Pi didn't speak, but took out his mobile phone, handed it to Xu Lang, and said, "I took a photo, you can see it for yourself." ”

Xu Lang took the phone, opened the album, and sure enough, he saw a lot of photos.

Most of the photos were taken in the dark, which should be caused by the dark environment at the scene.

Xu Lang started looking at the first one and found that the first one was an entrance, the door was intact and open, and behind the door were several stairs, because of the light, it was not clear how many steps there were on the stairs.

When he saw this photo, Xu Lang found that the steps of the stairs were covered with thick dust, and the dust was no longer gray, but black-brown, obviously, these dusts had accumulated for a long time, and they had been soaked in rain, otherwise, they would not have shown the current state, of course, it was not the dust in the stairwell that attracted Xu Lang's attention, after all, this is an unfinished building, and it seems that it should be the entrance to the basement, and it is normal for dust to accumulate here, but it is also because of the existence of these dusts, Several shoe prints appeared on the steps of the staircase.

Xu Lang looked at these shoe prints, then raised his head to look at Lai Pi and asked, "Why are the shoe prints not clear?"

Lai Pi shook his head and said, "It's not that the shooting is not clear, but it is not clear in the first place. ”

Hearing Lai Pi say this, Xu Lang swiped his fingers on the screen and flipped it back, only turning it twice, and Xu Lang saw the close-up of the shoe print that Lai Pi said.

There are a total of three shoe prints on a section of the steps, one of which only has the forefoot, and it is barefoot, combined with Zhang Jinzhong said that he escaped from the basement, and Xu Lang When they saw Zhang Jinzhong, he was indeed barefoot, this footprint should be Zhang Jinzhong, and next to the barefoot shoe print, there are two sets of shoe prints, one of the shoe prints is left by the heel of leather shoes, and the other shoe print is a little strange, although the shoe print is also a trace left by the back heel, looking at the shape should also be left by leather shoes, but, It is not a shoe print on the back heel

, but the shoe print pattern on the forefoot, it seems that someone has repeatedly walked along this shoe print, resulting in the pattern of the shoe print has long been blurred.

Seeing these three sets of patterns, one thing can be basically determined, that is, there were three people who entered this basement, and the barefoot was left by Zhang Jinzhong, then, who left the leather shoe print on the back foot The most strange and curious thing for Xu Lang is the most blurry, and the traces that have been repeatedly stepped on along this shoe print, judging from the photos, there is only the barefoot shoe print and the half of the leather shoe print, as for the last shoe print, there is no great extraction value.

After looking at the previous photos, Xu Lang continued to flip back.

This is a very passage, the passage is not big, there are rooms on both sides, Xu Lang looked carefully and found that there were three rooms in total, and only one of them had a door.

When he saw this photo, Xu Lang finally understood that Lai Pi was so dirty, because, in the passage, there was a layer of water on the ground, and the color of the water was very turbid, and it was very dark, and he knew that it was stagnant water at a glance.

After this photo, it is a photo of the room with the door, the door is hidden, the door lock is still hanging on the door, the door is an old-fashioned iron door, probably because the basement environment is relatively humid, the original color of the iron door is no longer clear, it is covered with rust, and the paint on the iron door has peeled off.

After that, it's time for the inside of the room.

The room is not big, there is a table in it, a chair, the table and chairs are very dilapidated, it should be found from the garbage heap, there are traces of burning candles on the table, there is a layer of wax oil on the table, in addition, there is an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks on the table, there are some rice grains in the bowl, but the bowl and chopsticks have been covered with a layer of white hair, it looks very disgusting.

And on the ground of the room, it is very messy, on the rough cement floor, a small puddle in the east, a small pit in the west, which looks uneven, and on the ground, in addition to the black water, there is any excrement, not only on the ground, but also on the wall, in addition to these, there are blood stains on the ground, and the blood stains are black and brown, giving people a very terrifying feeling.

The cleanest place in the room is in the northeast corner, where there is a blazer that I don't know if it was originally black, or because it has not been cleaned for a long time, or because it has not been cleaned for a long time, you can see the silhouette of a curled up humanoid, it seems that someone should have slept here, think about it, this person should be Zhang Jinzhong.

In addition to the photos of this room, Xu Lang flipped back and found that Lai Pi had also taken photos of the other two rooms.

In these two empty rooms, one of the rooms is holding a dense, spider-like rope, and on these ropes, there are photos with clips, and these photos are Zhang Jinzhong's own, in addition to the photos, Xu Lang also saw a lot of reports cut from newspapers or magazines on the wall and nailed to the wall with thumbtacks, and on these papers, they are all reports about Zhang Jinzhong, because there are not only Zhang Jinzhong's name on them, but also his photos.

In another photo, Xu Lang found that there was a wall calendar hanging on the wall, and it was this year's wall calendar, the date on the wall calendar was April, and a few days before April 5th, it had been circled off with a red pen, and the next two days were blank.

In the last room, there were no photographs or newspapers on the walls, and the room was empty, but on the walls was spray-painted with red letters.

"Officer Xu, hello"

When he saw this photo, Xu Lang suddenly squinted.

It seems that the other party has long known that Xu Lang will find out here, and he knows that Xu Lang will definitely come, so he left similar provocative words on the wall.

After looking at these photos, Xu Lang was silent for a long time and did not speak.

"Have you brought all these things back?" Xu Lang finally spoke.

Lai Pi shook his head and said, "No, in order to protect the shoe prints in the stairwell, I was the only one who went down at that time, so I didn't bring it back." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded, thought for a while, and said to Fan Yang, "You, Deputy Team Leader Ding, and Lai Pi, are going there, carefully investigate the scene, and see if there are any available clues such as fingerprints at the scene." ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Fan Yang and Ding Haoqiong glanced at each other and nodded, but when they saw Lai Pi's embarrassed appearance, they became a little helpless.

After Xu Lang finished arranging the task, Lai Pi rested for a while, and then left CY with Fan Yang and Ding Haoqiong.

Luo Jiayan is still in contact with the police in Xingchuan City, and Lu Xing still has relevant information about the investigation of the car accident ten years ago, but Xu Lang is in deep thought.

There are a total of three people in the basement where Zhang Jinzhong was imprisoned, one of them is Zhang Jinzhong himself, and the other must be the murderer, so who is the third set of shoe prints found at the scene?

Thinking of this, Xu Lang thought of Zhang Jinzhong again, he felt that going to the hospital to see Zhang Jinzhong, first, to see how Zhang Jinzhong's body was, and secondly, to ask Zhang Jinzhong about the specific details of his kidnapping and imprisonment, as well as some details about Sun Qihang's case ten years ago, and then to ask about the situation of Shen Kaiwen, the paralegal who had defended Sun Qihang with him.

As the saying goes, it's better to act than to move, Xu Lang didn't want to sit in the office and wait for the feedback of the investigation results, so he got up and left CY and went to the hospital.

Xu Lang had just left CY and got into the car and was about to start the car when the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

Xu Lang took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number, which made Xu Lang a little puzzled, but he still answered the phone quickly.

"Hey."

"Is it Team Leader Xu of the CY Criminal Investigation Team?" a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Lang frowned and said, "I'm Xu Lang, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I'm Xiao Zhang, a police officer from the police station, and you called our director last night and asked us to go to the hospital to care for a patient."

Hearing Xiao Zhang's explanation on the other end of the phone, Xu Lang was stunned at first, and then, his heart sank suddenly, because Xu Lang had a hunch that Xiao Zhang called over and something must have happened in the hospital, so Xu Lang hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong in the hospital?"

"How do you know"

Hearing Xu Lang ask this, Xiao Zhang was obviously surprised, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly said, "Oh, I called you to report this matter to you." ”

"What's the matter," Xu Lang asked with a frown.

"The patient you put us in care of is missing."

"What's missing"

Xu Lang, who already had a bad premonition in his heart, immediately raised his voice after hearing Xiao Zhang say this.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader Xu, it's me who didn't take a good look at him, I"

Xu Lang suddenly raised his voice, obviously scaring the policeman Xiao Zhang, and he apologized vigorously on the phone.

However, what Xu Lang wants to hear now is not Xiao Zhang's apology, but to know how Zhang Jinzhong, a living person and a very weak patient, disappeared from the hospital.

"How did he disappear," Xu Lang asked after calming down.

"I didn't know, I just went out to have a meal, and when I came back, I found that he was gone, so I hurriedly called you to report the situation."

After learning of this result, Xu Lang immediately wanted to scold, but Xu Lang couldn't help it, firstly, Xiao Zhang was not his subordinate and was not under his control, and secondly, now that Zhang Jinzhong had disappeared, figure out how he disappeared and why he disappeared, this is the key, scolding does not work.

"You're waiting at the hospital, I'll be right over."

After saying this, Xu Lang hung up the phone, threw the phone on the co-pilot, started the car, and drove towards the hospital.

After Xu Lang drove to the hospital, he took the elevator straight to the ward where Zhang Jinzhong lived before, and after pushing the door open, he saw a young policeman in his early twenties wearing a police uniform.

In addition to the young policeman in the room, there were two nurses, they were looking at the young policeman with a curious face, after the door was pushed open, they also subconsciously turned their heads, looked at the door, and then saw Xu Lang with a gloomy face.

After Xu Lang walked into the room, he first glanced at the three of them, and then looked at the hospital bed.

Last night, when Xu Lang left, Zhang Jinzhong was still lying on the hospital bed honestly, and now, the hospital bed was empty, and the cup was lifted aside.

Xu Lang did not speak immediately, but walked into the bathroom in the ward, the door of the bathroom was closed, Xu Lang pushed open the door and looked, and found that the bathroom was also empty, he looked at the door again and found that there was no one at the door.

After confirming that Zhang Jinzhong was indeed not in the hospital, Xu Lang walked out of the bathroom, came to the young policeman, and asked, "You are Xiao Zhang"

The young policeman nodded, his face was flushed, and the guilty look on his face was unobstructed, he first nodded, and then lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Lang.

Seeing Xiao Zhang's appearance, Xu Lang, who originally wanted to say a few words to him, gave up this idea.

"When did you find out that Zhang Jinzhong was missing," Xu Lang asked.

"Fifteen minutes ago."

Xu Lang took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was now four o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen minutes ago it was three fifty-five o'clock, at that time, Xu Lang was looking at the photos that Lai Pi brought back.

Xu Lang looked around and found that Xiao Zhang was alone, so he frowned and asked, "Didn't I ask your director to send two people last night, why are you the only one?"

Xiao Zhang raised his head and glanced at Xu Lang, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "I was on duty with another colleague last night, and after receiving your call, I came over, as for why I am alone, the director said, there are not so many people to take care of a patient, and I am enough alone." ”

"When you were taking care of Zhang Jinzhong, did you find anything unusual?" asked Xu Lang after a moment of silence.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "There is nothing abnormal, he is the same as a normal patient, just lying on the bed and sleeping." ”

"Did he eat?"

"Yes, I bought him breakfast in the morning and he ate it all."

"What about noon," Xu Lang asked.

Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why didn't you eat it," Xu Lang asked as he looked at Xiao Zhang.

"I wasn't in the hospital at noon, I went back to the office."
