Xu Guangyuan was about to help Shen Ran cook a meal, but Shen Ran waved his hand and said, it's better for him to come by himself, he is awake now, everything is back to normal, and he doesn't need special care.

Xu Guangyuan couldn't intervene, so he waited in the living room.

He still has something to say, so he doesn't want to leave now.

Although Shen Ran is not a chef, his years of living alone have allowed him to arrange himself most of the time, and he can also skillfully cook home-cooked food at the moment.

"Yo, the combination of meat and vegetables, it looks really appetizing." As soon as the dish was served, Xu Guangyuan praised it, picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and was full of praise, "This dish is well fried, crisp and delicious, salty and light, I am really blessed." ”

"Heh, it's all home-cooked, just make it."

After a few bites of food, the two chatted about their recent situation and work.

Speaking of this topic, Xu Guangyuan frowned and asked with concern: "Why have you been sleeping more often recently, is it that the police station is too tired?" ”

"That's how my constitution is." Shen Ran laughed bitterly at himself, skipped a faint sentence, and didn't want to complain too much about it.

"How to go on like this, I know you have your own ideas, but I can't let you keep overdrawing your body in this matter."

"I'll pay attention......" Shen Ran knew that Xu Guangyuan cared about him.

"I hope you can think about my proposal last time, I am now the project leader, you can be here as a senior researcher, you don't have to work so hard in the future, I will help you."

This proposal was mentioned to Xu Guangyuan after he officially became the project leader.

Especially after Xu Guangyuan talked about cooperation with the Lu Bureau of the Public Security, he was even more eager to hope that Shen Ran could return to the research institute and be his subordinate.

What's more, he believed that under his leadership, no one would give Shen Ran a look, and even if he knew that he had the sequelae of the experiment, he would not alienate him in person.

Shen Ran naturally knew these meanings, but when he weighed and compared the two options of continuing to stay in the police station as a supernumerary consultant and rejoining the research institute as his senior researcher, the balance in his heart quickly made a choice.

What surprised him even more was that he chose to continue to be a supernumerary.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xu Guangyuan didn't know why he was laughing, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, I don't know why, but sometimes it's tiring, but I feel like I'm happy. It's nice to be there. ”

Shen Ran remembered that one bright afternoon, he walked out of the door that he hadn't stepped out of for a long time, and the sun sprinkled on his body, giving him warmth. Although on that day, he saw a corpse floating on the surface of the river, but since then, he has also seen a very different group of people.

These people appeared one after another in his later life.

The policewoman Xiaomei, who gossiped crazy when she saw him for the first time, and the fat man who came to see him "sleep" at a loss, and the forensic doctor Ding Yi, who burned his head, every face moved more and more.

Also, Lu Cheng.

Their proximity to Shen Ran was different from the environment he was in in the past and the people he came into contact with.

It's like a warm wind that blows on your cheeks and makes you sweat a little, but it's refreshing.

"They're all very nice to me, and I probably don't want to leave yet." Shen Ran said with a smile. In the past, Xu Guangyuan rarely saw such a smile on Shen Ran's face, and he looked a little relaxed.

"I'll take care of you too." Xu Guangyuan blurted out for a while. Then he changed his words, "I mean, I'll be good to you, it's natural, and the people below will be the same." And that's your real area of expertise, isn't it? Don't give up on your talents. ”

Xu Guangyuan mentioned Shen Ran's research major to impress Shen Ran.

Continuing to study is indeed a consideration that Shen Ran's career planning will make, and he has not completely given up research in his heart, which he really can't deny.

"Oh, and also, the last time you mentioned to me that you may have been away from home for a while without knowing it, that is, the incident where you suspected that you were kidnapped, I also have someone to investigate."

Seeing that Shen Ran's expression changed, Xu Guangyuan said in a more orderly manner: "At that time, we reported the case and checked the surveillance nearby, the area where you live is old, the monitoring is not complete, and there are some dead ends. But as far as the existing surveillance is concerned, the police have carefully looked at the round, and there is no abnormality. If your suspicions are true, there are two possibilities: one is that someone managed to sneak into your home and completely avoided the surveillance corners, and the second is that you went out on your own and spent some time outside. But you say you remember that you just slept at home, which is not very easy to explain.

In the first case, it is not completely impossible, but it is still very difficult for the perpetrator, and few people can be fully familiar with all the nearby monitoring points.

Coupled with the fact that you were in good health at the time and did not have any damage, the investigation ran aground.

Of course, if you want to pick it up again, it's not all directionless.

The only clue that can be called valuable is the confession of a nearby resident.

There is an uncle who said that he once saw two strange men in dark clothes patrolling back and forth in the neighborhood, but unfortunately the uncle is a little older, his eyesight is not very good, and he does not fully see the stranger's appearance.

Someone in the police station went to look for this clue again.

Maybe there will be new developments soon.

These are all cases that I have personally followed up, and I think this is the most comprehensive information about your case. I'll follow up, don't worry, you don't need to stay at the police station to investigate. ”

Xu Guangyuan put all the clues and information in front of Shen Ran and analyzed it, just to let Shen Ran know that he was the person who knew the most about this case, and tried to dispel Shen Ran's last concerns.

Once this was taken into account, Shen Ran seemed to have no reason to spend so much time at the police station.

I have to say that Xu Guangyuan is thoughtful.

Aside from the special people he met at the police station, this was indeed the deepest concern in his heart.

Whether or not he really disappeared and was kidnapped is related to the possibility that all his memories of those days are true.

And in all the ambiguous fragments of memory, there is always a picture of him meeting his father.

He didn't tell Xu Guangyuan about this, only said that he still wanted to investigate whether he had disappeared back then.

It sounded a little untenable for him, the incident was in the past, and he was fine.

He didn't expect that Xu Guangyuan would seriously help him to re-investigate.

Didn't he think I was too willful and ridiculous? Shen Ran was a little surprised, and looked up at Xu Guangyuan.

"Thanks, I didn't expect you to do so much."

Not that there is no wavering. Xu Guangyuan is his friend, and he has done so much for him.

Besides, if you think about it, if you want to investigate this matter, it is just because of some of your own obsessions, when he first discussed this matter with Xu Guangyuan, Xu Guangyuan wondered if he was sleepwalking.

Nor can he deny the possibility. Now because of his own insistence, Xu Guangyuan went to help him run again, and he didn't listen to Xu Guangyuan complain and blame himself.

"Let's hope it will come out, you don't have to worry too much about it."

Xu Guangyuan shook his head and said that it was no trouble, and then waited silently for Shen Ran's answer to that question.

Although Xu Guangyuan's words just now were indeed very impressive.

But there was another voice in Shen Ran's heart, even more determined.

"I don't want to leave yet."

He whispered.

Aside from this, he really couldn't say anything good for it.

There is no reason to be reluctant to fall in love with a few colleagues who have just met, he can't say this, and he can't accurately weigh the weight of this reason in his heart.

In addition, regarding the investigation of the case, he had made some progress in the previous interrogation with Sun Hui, and he intuitively felt that the information Sun Hui said was very crucial. If he hadn't come into contact with the suspect at the police station, there wouldn't have been this clue.

Moreover, in the just-concluded case of Li Lizi, he also felt that there was still information worth digging up for himself.

And this information may be related to oneself.

Although the information sounded very fragmentary and had no obvious logical connection, he knew in his heart that they were like puzzle pieces scattered on the table, and someone needed to pick them up piece by piece and put them back together.

And the only person who has the potential to put this information together is himself.

If he didn't dig up all the remaining doubts in this case, he would not be reconciled.

"I mean, the last case hasn't been fully investigated, so I'm not used to doing this, so I'll have to think again."

Xu Guangyuan's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly replied with a smile: "Okay, you think about it, I'll wait for you." ”

After eating, Xu Guangyuan insisted on helping him wash the dishes.

Shen Ran didn't refuse again, and let him wash the dishes in the kitchen.

After doing this, Xu Guangyuan knew that he had no reason to stay in Shen Ran's house anymore.

"Well, I'll go first. Call me again if you have something. ”

"Hmm." Shen Ran really didn't have the habit of keeping people, and when he walked to the door, he waved goodbye.

Seeing Xu Guangyuan away, Shen Ran sat down on the sofa.

Without a two-minute break, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lu Cheng's phone.

Lu Cheng saw that it was Shen Ran calling, and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Shen Ran, are you awake?" The tone is happy and concerned.

"Hmm. I heard that you and Senior Brother Xu sent me back together, thank you. ”

"Ah, well, you're welcome." Lu Cheng felt that Shen Ran's words were missing something, but he didn't think much about it, "It's okay if you're okay." That's what he thinks.

Just hearing Shen Ran's address to Xu Guangyuan, Lu Cheng cared for a moment. Xu Guangyuan is Shen Ran's senior brother, yes, they still have this relationship.

It is indeed a relationship of many years.

"I'm calling mainly because I want to ask you." Shen Ran said.

"What's the matter?"

"After you arrested Li Mingyu, did you conduct an inventory of his home, especially the room and computer?"

"Huh? Why do you ask? "This has been done since the initial arrival of the police on the scene. But Lu Cheng didn't know if the investigation Shen Ran was referring to their investigation of the scene.

"Did you find anything special on his computer?"

"What's so special...... Lu Cheng thought for a while and said, "We turned on the computer and looked at it casually, Li Mingyu confessed that he had not found a serious job since he dropped out of school, and then he spent a while in a bar, did some illegal things, and in order to deceive the trust of different women, he also bought some fake certificates, rented brand-name cars, etc., and this information can find some traces in his computer, which is basically consistent." ”

Lu Cheng explained the follow-up of the investigation of the case to Shen Ran.

"Hmm......" But Shen Ran didn't seem to hear the information he wanted to hear, and asked him again: "Has he joined any strange organization, or group?" ”

"Strange organization?" Lu Cheng was a little surprised, obviously he hadn't heard the news, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"This ......" Shen Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk face to face." ”
