On August 20, 2015, the criminal police detachment of R City just cracked a robbery and murder case that lasted for several months. Many of the players are on vacation. Some went back to spend time with their families, some were busy dating, and some were in a hurry to go on blind dates. Gu Liao didn't want to do anything, his biggest wish was just to be able to sleep until he woke up naturally.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Liao was still lazy in bed. He looked at the bright sunshine and the white clouds outside the window, and felt a rare comfort in his heart.

What a beautiful life, no crime, no death, no mess at the scene of the crime, no cries and tears of the victims' families. If life can be so peaceful every day, even if it means that he will face the crisis of unemployment, Gu Liao will not feel regret at all.

Suddenly, a phone call pulled Gu Liao back from fantasy to reality. He looked at the name of the electrifier, and a smile appeared on his lips. As soon as he picked up the phone, he teased the other party in a serious way: "What's the matter, my husband is not at home and lonely?" ”

A woman's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone ...... "Gu Li", but at this time, there was a faint emotion of despair and even fear in this gentle voice.

Over the phone, Gu Liao didn't notice anything unusual immediately, and continued to joke: "Just say it if you want to, don't be embarrassed." ”

"Qin Yu, he ...... Missing......" The other party stabilized his emotions and said slowly.

"Hey, it's not April Fool's Day, you won't fool me like this, will you?" Gu Ligan laughed twice, and his expression froze with a smile.

The woman on the other side of the phone is called Shu Qing, who is Gu Li's childhood sweetheart, and Qin Yu in her mouth is Gu Li's hair and is also Shu Qing's current husband. All three of them have parents who are teachers at R City Normal University, and their families live in a family area near the school. Several people grew up together, and their relationship was as good as a family.

"When did Qin Yu disappear? What the hell is going on? After a moment of silence, Gu Liao asked eagerly.

"Are you free now? I want to meet and tell you. ”

"It's free, it's free." Gu Song hurriedly replied. "Where are you, I'll go look for you now."

Putting down the phone, Gu Liao immediately got up from the bed. He washed up indiscriminately, and rushed out of the house in a rage before he even had time to take care of his hair.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Yan parked the car on the side of the road, locked the door and walked straight to a newly opened teahouse. The waiter was just about to come over to receive him, and he saw Shu Qing sitting by the window at a glance, so he said to the waiter, "I'm here to find someone." ”

With a distance of more than ten meters, Gu Liao looked at Shu Qing as he walked. I haven't seen her for more than a month, and this elegant and beautiful woman in front of me is so haggard that she seems to have changed as if she has changed a person, and at first glance she looks like a seriously ill patient, which can't help but make people feel pity.

Gu Liao sat opposite Shu Qing and said hello, and the latter retracted his mind and hurriedly shifted his gaze from the street scene outside the glass window to his friend's face. "You're here." She greeted lightly, and her melancholy face turned extremely pale.

"What happened to Qin Yu?" Gu Liao omitted greetings and asked straight to the point.

"On the day of August 14th......" Shu Qing was about to explain, when a warm waitress came to the table and asked with a smile, "What does Mr. want to drink?" ”

Gu Liao frowned unhappily, quickly glanced at the list brought by the waiter, and said absentmindedly: "Have a cup of lemon tea, thank you!" Then he looked at Shu Qing with an eager gaze, "You continued." ”

Shu Qing obviously didn't want others to hear the conversation between them, and waited for the waiter to walk far away before speaking again: "Since the night of August 14th, I can't contact Qin Yu. ”

"Tell me about it." Gu Yan took out a small notepad from his pocket and comforted Shu Qing, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will accompany you." ”

Shu Qing nodded gratefully, sorted out her chaotic thoughts, and said slowly: "Our family bell was born with congenital heart disease, and you already know these conditions. Some time ago, Bell's condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor's advice was to do surgery as soon as possible, and any further delay was likely to be life-threatening. After much consideration, we sent the bell to Ryan International Medical Center for treatment.

On the night of August 14, Qin Yu went directly to the hospital to visit his daughter after work. At around 9:10, Qin Yu called me, saying that my daughter's condition was very good, so I don't have to worry, and said that she was walking to the underground parking lot and would be home soon. It was more than 20 minutes from the hospital to our home, but I waited until more than 10 o'clock, and Qin Yu still didn't come back.

"I wanted to ask Qin Yu if there was something wrong on the road, but when I called, I found that his mobile phone had been turned off. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just that my phone was out of battery. But at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, there was still no news from Qin Yu's side.

"In a hurry, I went to the hospital where my daughter was and asked the nurse on duty to understand the situation. It was confirmed that Qin Yu was indeed in the ward with his daughter a few hours ago, and he left at 9 o'clock in the evening, which coincided with the time he called me. In other words, if something really happened to Qin Yu, it must be the period after he left the ward. Thinking of this, I went to the underground parking lot of the hospital, and it didn't take long to find Qin Yu's car in the garage. I thought he was still in the hospital, so I looked around for him and couldn't find him.

"Around 3 a.m., I went to a nearby police station to call the police. The police on duty said that Qin Yu had only been missing for a few hours, so I asked me to mobilize my relatives and friends to help find him. In the wee hours of the morning, I was too embarrassed to disturb my friends, so I called my parents, parents-in-law, cousin and sister-in-law to come and help. However, our family kept finding Tianliang near the hospital, and nothing came of it.

"At around 9 o'clock in the morning, my parents accompanied me to the police station again. The police still have the same attitude as before, let's find it ourselves. At that time, an old criminal policeman from the substation happened to go there to do business, and when he heard about my situation, the enthusiastic old policeman accompanied us to the hospital to inquire about the situation. Through checking the surveillance, it was found that the last place where Qin Yu appeared was somewhere in Area E of the underground garage, and the time displayed on the surveillance screen was 21:13. From this point in time on, other monitors could no longer capture Qin Yu's activity track.

"If Qin Yu didn't leave on his own initiative, then he must have encountered an unexpected situation. Qin Yu didn't cause trouble, second, didn't break the law, third, didn't owe debts, fourth, had no mental illness, plus his daughter's condition was gradually improving, and he had just called to say that he would go home soon, so there was no reason to suddenly say goodbye in that situation. So I think Qin Yu must have had an accident, and the old criminal policeman also thinks this matter is very strange.

"A day later, the Criminal Police Brigade of the F Branch began to investigate the matter, and I don't know the specific situation. But so far, they don't seem to have found any valuable leads......"

After saying so many words in one breath, Shu Qing's throat was a little dry. She picked up the teacup and drank two sips of water, Gu Liao suddenly frowned and asked her, "Something so big, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"I ......" Shu Qing also frowned, recalling "On August 15th, I called you. At the time, you said you were busy with a robbery and murder and quickly hung up the phone. I'm afraid of disturbing your work, so ......"

Hearing Shu Qing say this, Gu Liao suddenly remembered. At noon on the 15th, the colleagues at the trace examination found a fingerprint that had been missed before when they revisited the scene of the first murder, and this key fingerprint advanced the progress of the case and helped them lock down the suspect. When he received the call, he was about to go to the suspect's residence to arrest someone, so he hung up the phone in a hurry after a perfunctory remark.

Now that I think about it, that call turned out to be a call for help from a friend in despair, and not only did I not play any role in comforting, but I also showed that attitude. Seeing Shu Qing exhausted from being tortured by this incident, Gu Song really wanted to slap himself twice. He exhaled in remorse and buried his face deep in the palm of his hand.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said to Shu Qing very apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this, I ...... that day"

"You don't have to apologize." Shu Qing patted his arm in understanding. "I know you're very busy with work during that time, even if you tell you about Qin Yu, I'm afraid you don't have the extra energy to interfere. I'm really desperate now, I don't know what else I can do, and I'm going to go crazy if I keep waiting. If you have time, help me find Qin Yu's whereabouts, and if you don't have time, you don't have to force ......."

"What do you say?" Without waiting for Shu Qing to finish speaking, Gu Yan suddenly interrupted her sternly, "Qin Yu is my best friend, what happened to him, how could I not care." ”

"That's not what I meant......" Shu Qing was taken aback and quickly retracted her hand. A few tables of guests nearby turned their heads to look at them, thinking that it was a couple arguing.

Gu Yan realized that his attitude was a little scary, calmed down his emotions a little, and continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for this matter to the end." You give me the contact information of the old detective, and I will go to him later to find out the situation. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute." Shu Qing took out her mobile phone, copied a phone number and sent it to Gu Song's mobile phone. "I don't know how the investigation is going over there, I don't know if Qin Yu has ......"

"Don't think about it yet." Gu Song hurriedly comforted, "Let's make the next plans when I understand it clearly." ”
