After lunch, Qiao Sheng still had some tasks at hand that had not been completed, so he went back to the criminal police team to work first. He gave a few young people a holiday, told them to go home and spend the New Year with their families, and then took a few days off before starting to investigate the murderer X.

Among several people, Fan Cong's work is the hardest. In order to find the whereabouts of the criminal suspect Wei Chiliang in the huge city, he has been tossing and turning outside for several days, running hundreds of hotels and rental houses, and his sleep time is seriously insufficient. Not long after Qiao Sheng left, he yawned and yelled to go home and sleep.

Gu Song wanted to match Fan Cong and Ruonan, not just because of a joke that Ruonan casually said in the office, but because he really felt that these two people were very suitable for being together. If you think about it carefully, Fan Cong is diligent, down-to-earth and reliable, and his height and appearance are more in line with the standards for girls to choose husbands. For a simple and kind girl like Ruonan, being with Fan Cong is obviously much more reliable than being with herself.

Seeing that Fan Cong was in a hurry to leave, Gu Song gently pushed Ruonan, who was still concentrating on eating next to him, winked at her and said, "You should also hurry home and rest, just let Fan Cong send you." ”

"Okay, let's go together, it just so happens that I'm also on the way." Fan Cong didn't know about "confession", so he readily agreed without saying a word, and immediately began to use his mobile phone to navigate and locate the address of Qi Ruonan's house.

Qi Ruonan held the chopsticks and was stunned for a moment, and then reacted for a while before looking at Gu Song with complaining eyes, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: People haven't finished eating yet, who wants you to be nosy.

"Alright, let's go." Gu Song didn't pay attention to Ruonan's embarrassment, but snatched the chopsticks in her hand with a quick movement, and urged her with a wicked smile, "What a great opportunity, don't waste it in vain." After speaking, he showed a meaningful smile to Fan Cong.

After everyone left, there were only Gu Song and Zhong Xin left at the table. It wasn't until this time that Gu Song suddenly realized something, and said, "Eh", "No, didn't this meal say that Team Qiao was in for a treat?" He didn't seem to give any money when he left just now! ”

"yes, then it can't be helped." Zhong Xin shrugged his shoulders, put on an attitude of not caring about himself, got up and said to Gu Song, "I'll go outside and wait first, you come to me after settling the bill." ”

"Wait, why am I going to check out?"

"Nonsense, which bodyguard did you see to pay for after dinner?"

"But, I forgot my wallet when I went out this morning!"

"Is that what you're talking about?" Zhong Xin smiled, unhurriedly took out a black leather wallet from his coat pocket, threw it to Gu Song, pointed to the cashier not far away and said, "You should have no excuse now." ”

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhong Xin asked Gu Song to write a letter of guarantee, specifically approving him to go home to accompany his mother for the New Year. Just in case, Zhong Xin made it very clear to Gu Song that once the sudden disappearance of the last time happened, no matter what the reason, what kind of punishment would be waiting for him.

Of course, Gu Song knew what this punishment meant. He was more afraid of being put in a hospital and restricting his personal freedom than physical torture. So no matter what happens this time, even if the murderer calls him and provokes him, he will not make a claim and act privately.

Without Gu Song's oil bottle, Zhong Xin rarely had a little spare time of his own. Since joining the organization and being involved in all this mess, he hasn't given himself a vacation for a long time. Suddenly, he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

After sending Gu Song home, he drove aimlessly around the streets. When night falls, the streets and alleys are lit up with bright lights, the shops and trees on the street are decorated with gorgeous lanterns and festive red lanterns, and the doors and windows are pasted with couplets and blessing characters, presenting a joyful and peaceful festive atmosphere everywhere. People rushed home to reunite with their relatives with large bags of things, and their faces were filled with smiles of happiness and joy.

Seeing such a scene, Zhong Xin couldn't help but be a little envious of their lives. On this special day, most people choose to stay with their families, and even if they can't be with them, at least they can call and greet each other. But he didn't even have anyone to greet him.

Since the age of thirteen, the only relative by his side has been Professor Sun, who gave him a second life. Without Professor Sun's funding and teaching, he would not dare to imagine what he would be like now. He once vowed that he would repay Professor Sun's kindness when he grew up, but he never thought that before he could do anything, that kind and kind old man was ruthlessly taken away from his precious life.

There is an ancient Chinese saying that "the son wants to raise but the parent is not there", and Zhong Xin can understand the meaning of this sentence very well. However, now, regret and regret are meaningless, and the only thing he can do for Professor Sun is to find the whereabouts of the organization and wipe out the criminal gang under the banner of science.

He remembered another set of coordinates mentioned by Gu Song, which might be the hiding place after the organization evacuated the underground prison. What will it be like there? Could it be another hellish city hidden deep in the mountains and forests? Are they still going on their morally degrading evil experiments there?

Since that night, Gu Song has never told him about the coordinates again. He was afraid that Gu Song would recall the scene where Qin Yu was killed, and his spirit would be stimulated, so he didn't dare to ask more, but deep down, he was more anxious to get an answer than anyone else.

Perhaps under the influence of the subconscious, Zhong Xin unknowingly drove the car to the door of the People's Hospital. Sure enough, at such a special moment, the person he missed the most was Dr. Yao. As if he had a heart, just as he parked the car on the side of the road and was about to call Yao Jiangyue, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and was surprised to find that the call was made to him by Yao Jiangyue.

"Is it convenient to answer the phone now?" Yao Jiangyue asked in a tentative tone, as if she was afraid of disturbing his work.

"Of course." Zhong Xin replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's good." Yao Jiangyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone became brisk. "Actually, there is nothing important, I just want to call and ask you how you are doing, whether you are busy with work."

"It's okay, I'll take a little rest during the two days of the New Year. What about you? Do you also have to go to the hospital for duty during the Chinese New Year? ”

"Well, I'm going to work on the second day of the Lunar New Year, although I'm a little reluctant, but there's no way to do it. By the way, Officer Gu is with you, right? How is he doing? Are you feeling better? ”

"I went to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago, and the fall injury is no longer a big deal."

"That's great."

"The doctor said that he was in good health, and if he were someone else, he would probably have to lie in the hospital for a while."

"Do you have any plans for the New Year?"

"Today is a special situation, and I have specially approved him to go home to spend the New Year with his family."

"Huh?" Yao Jiangyue was taken aback and asked worriedly, "Is this good?" If something goes wrong, you're going to be responsible......"

"It's a bit risky to do this, but, alas......" Zhong Xin sighed helplessly, "He has been through so many things, and his family and friends are worried about him, I can't help but let him go home for the New Year." You said that he went home for the New Year, and it was inconvenient for me to follow him all the time, how strange is this......"

"It's weird indeed." Yao Jiangyue smiled and half-jokingly joked, "People bring their girlfriends home for the New Year." If Officer Gu takes you back, he will be misunderstood by his family. And your situation is so special, it's inconvenient for him to explain it to his family, it's really a little embarrassing to think about it. ”

"So I trust him once, and I hope he doesn't get me into any trouble."

"Don't worry, Officer Gu is a man of his word. Since there was an agreement between you, then he definitely wouldn't mess around. ”

On the morning of February 9th, the sky was just dawning, and Zhong Xin was still immersed in his early morning sleep.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening in the living room woke him up from his dream.

As a result of the professional habits he has developed over the years, he has a strong sense of vigilance and crisis. He immediately rolled out of bed, drew his pistol from under his pillow, and walked out of the room quietly.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He thought that a thief broke into his house by breaking the door, or that someone from the organization came to the door to hunt him down, but he didn't expect that at this moment, it was Gu Song and Jack who were standing at the door of his house.

"What's going on?" Zhong Xin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away the gun, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you back, didn't you say that I would pick you up at your house this morning?" With that, he turned his gaze to Jack, who was looking around with his tongue sticking out, "Why did you bring it too?" ”

"Oh, that's the case...... Gu Song took a few breaths, and then explained, "My mother went to the second aunt's house in Guangzhou, and she left for the airport before dawn." During the days she was away, I took care of Jack. What do you think? It won't cause you too much trouble, right? ”

"It's not going to be a problem. I just want to know, you two gasping like this, if you two are coming back from a run, right? ”

"You guessed it." Gu Song replied with a smile, "Anyway, I'm idle and bored at home alone, and my mother told me to come out to walk the dog, so ......"

"So you ran a dozen kilometers with an injury? I'm really convinced of you. Zhong Xin yawned and was about to go back to his room to continue sleeping, when he suddenly heard Gu Song say to him excitedly: "Boss, we can start work today, right?" ”

"Start work? What kind of work? Zhong Xin looked at him inexplicably, and didn't react to what he was talking about for a while.

"Of course, it's a special investigation approved by Team Joe!" Gu Song immediately reminded, "Aren't we going to find out the relationship between Wei Chiliang and the murderer X?" ”

"Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and this is only a day off, and now you are going to investigate the case again?"

"Idle is idle anyway, it's better to do something meaningful. Perhaps while we rest, the killer is quietly looking for the next victim. Now, only we can stop his killing, and we must not allow more victims to show up. ”

"Okay." Zhong Xin was persuaded by Gu Song's words, thought for a while and asked, "Where do you want to start first?" ”

"I want to first get a basic picture of the burglaries that took place across the country between 2005 and 2011. Since we want to find Killer X, we must look for loopholes in those cases back then. ”
