encountered such a tragic car accident, as the head of the criminal police detachment, Qiao Sheng had nothing to do. Even if he sounded his siren now, it would be impossible for the surrounding vehicles to make room for him to pass. Unless his car can give birth to a pair of wings and fly out of the "encirclement", he can only stay where he is and honestly wait for the traffic police to clear the road.

Qiao Sheng was so upset in the car that he had nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone again and found Zhang Yunhai's contact information from the address book.

In 2012, when a serial corpse murder case occurred in R City, Qiao Sheng and Zhang Yunhai had an unforgettable cooperation experience. It was precisely because of Zhang Yunhai's seriousness and persistence that the murderous demon captain Chi Liang finally surfaced, and the police were able to find the remains of the victims. Although Wei Chiliang has not been arrested to this day, the police have never given up the pursuit of him. No matter how far he escapes, one day, he will definitely pay for everything he has done.

dialed the phone, Qiao Sheng smiled and said hello to the old-timer, "Hey, Lao Zhang, I'm Qiao Sheng." ”

"Yo, Qiao Detachment, I haven't been in touch for a long time." Zhang Yunhai's voice looked a little surprised, after all, the two of them hadn't been in touch since that case. But Qiao Sheng could hear that the other party's attitude was still very enthusiastic.

"Can I delay you a little? I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

"Say it." Zhang Yunhai replied briskly, and then sighed and said, "I'm stuck in traffic now, and it seems that there has been a car accident in front of me, and I can't move for a while." ”

"What's the matter, you're also stuck in the construction road?" Qiao Sheng said and glanced out the car window a few times, and the latter replied with a wry smile: "Yes, could it be that you are also there?" What a coincidence. ”

"Haha, yes!" Qiao Sheng laughed a few times, and suddenly became serious, "Actually, I also just left Qin Yu's house. I was stuck here not long after I went out. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Is the Qin Yu you are talking about the Qin Yu I am investigating?" ”

"Of course it's the same person, otherwise I wouldn't have called you."

"Why are you concerned about this case?"

"Oh, here's the thing......" Qiao Sheng briefly explained his relationship with Gu Song, and the fact that Qin Yu's disappearance case might involve a huge criminal organization.

Zhang Yunhai was speechless when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that the disappearance case he was obsessed with turned out to be another shocking case. He bluntly told Qiao Sheng that when he found out that another female employee of Ryan Pharmaceutical had disappeared in December 2014, he suspected that the killer might be someone in the company. Now it seems that if such a criminal organization really exists, this organization should be inseparable from the pharmaceutical companies. The disappearance of female employees and Qin Yu's disappearance are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"That's right." Qiao Sheng agreed, and at the same time warned Zhang Yunhai, "So we must not act rashly until we find out the true face of the organization." ”

"Is Gu Song okay now? I heard that he went to Liangshan? ”

"I don't know." Qiao Sheng lit a cigarette, looked at the street scene in the distance, and said leisurely, "I hope he can come back safely and soundly......

Deep in the Liangshan Mountains.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, Fang Liang and Xi'er returned to the mountain forest where they first met. Although they set out from the village before dawn, by this time the sun had begun to sink into the western mountains, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

This time into the mountain, both of them were determined to break the boat. They chose a relatively flat open space and set up their tents, intending to do a carpet search around the place where Fang Liang had finally arrived.

On the evening of the first day, they did not go far, but did a brief survey near the camp, and after nightfall they returned to their tents to rest and recuperate.

Because of the company of Xi'er and Xiao Hei, Fang Liang's mood was much more relaxed than when he was shuttling alone in the woods. He never thought that he would one day need the protection of a little girl, and he never thought that such a feeling would not only be shameful, but also very happy.

He felt that he probably fell in love with the simple and kind Xi'er, although it was not appropriate to consider this kind of thing at the critical juncture when his friend's life and death were unknown, but he did have such a thought more than once: I really want to take Xi'er away from Liangshan, I really want to see her pure and lovely smiling face every day.

However, as soon as he thought of this, a cruel reality popped up in his heart: Xi'er would never leave Liangshan without finding his father's remains. Similarly, if he can't find Gu Li's whereabouts, he will never forgive himself for the mistakes he made in his life.

So, he secretly made up his mind again: whether it was ten days, ten years, or a lifetime, he must find out where Gu Li's whereabouts were, otherwise he would stay here and accompany Xi'er forever. It might be a good choice for him, too.

From the next morning, a light rain began to fall in the mountains, which made the already winding mountain road muddy and slippery, making it even more difficult to walk. To be on the safe side, the two searched the gentle area to the north, but at the end of the day, they didn't get anything. This was expected by them, so they did not feel particularly disappointed.

It rained for three days and three nights, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, with occasional rumbling thunder. The sky was gray as if it were about to collapse, and the air was filled with a mixture of earth and plants.

When they couldn't walk, the two men ran to a low-lying place to take shelter for a while. Compared to the danger of being struck by lightning, a little rain is not a big deal at all.

It wasn't until the morning of the fifth day that the long-lost sunlight shone back into the woods, creating dappled light and shadow. Everything in the forest has returned to its former life, and the insects and birds of unrecognizable species are singing happily, making people forget the dangers hidden in the shadows.

The sun was shining, full of life, and Xiao Hei's spirit was much brighter than a few days ago. It ran heartily in the woods, and when it ran too far, Xi'er had to whistle to call it back, and pretended to be angry and complained: "Why are you so naughty, aren't you afraid that Brother Fang Liang will laugh at you?" ”

"Isn't it going to catch hares again?" Fang Liang said with a smile, "I haven't eaten meat for several days. Blackie, it's up to you to perform this time. ”

Xiao Hei seemed to understand, and screamed a few times, and then ran out happily. Xi'er shook her head helplessly, "This guy will shine when he gives a little sunshine, you can't get used to it too much." ”

"It's okay, it's not going to get lost anyway." Fang Liang was busy pleading for Xiao Hei.

At this moment, a few dozen meters away in the woods suddenly heard an eager dog barking. Fang Liang and Xi'er glanced at each other, and at the same time ran in the direction where the voice came from. "Did you find something?" Fang Liang asked Xi'er as he ran. Before the latter could reply, he said to himself, "Huh? I have a bit of an impression of this place...... Ah, this seems to be the place where Gu Liao and I were attacked by bears! ”

"What? That's how you got stripped around here? Xi'er asked in surprise, her heartbeat involuntarily picking up speed.

"That's right, it should be here." Fang Liang looked at his surroundings and confirmed again.

The two of them couldn't wait to get to Blackie's side and found him crouching in front of a backpack full of outdoor gear, wagging its tail excitedly. "That's our sleeping bag!" Fang Liang immediately rushed over as he spoke, while Xi'er walked straight towards the other blue backpack. "This is also your stuff?" She asked, then crouched down on the ground to examine it carefully.

"That's my friend's backpack." Fang Liang replied wistfully, "He didn't bring anything when he ran away, unlike me, and he brought some food......

"It seems that he hasn't been back to this place since the incident."

"He didn't return to our appointed rendezvous either."

"He may have gotten lost...... Xi'er said thoughtfully, then pulled a towel out of her backpack, put it in front of Xiao Hei's nose for him to sniff, and said something to him in the language of the minority.

Fang Liang looked at Xi'er with interest and asked, "Xiao Hei is so powerful, can he still be used as a police dog?" ”

"Hope it comes in handy. When my father disappeared, I often trained his sense of smell ......" Xi'er suddenly stopped, took the document from the outer pocket of the backpack and was stunned for a while, and asked in surprise, "Brother Fang Liang, your friend is a policeman?" ”

Looking at the police officer card in Xi'er's hand, Fang Liang nodded slowly, only then did he remember that he hadn't told the other party the real purpose of their entry into the mountain so far. Sure enough, the alert Xi'er immediately asked, "Are you also a policeman?" Are you really here to explore the mountains? ”

"This ......" Fang Liang paused for a moment, and then explained to Xi'er, "I'm not a policeman, but I'm accompanying a friend to investigate the case." ”

"Coming to this kind of place to investigate a case?" Xi'er asked suspiciously, and Qingxiu's face was full of doubts.

"Ah, here's how it happened......" Fang Liang roughly described the circumstances of Qin Yu's disappearance in short words, and then said, "So we followed that coordinate to find here." ”

"I see." After thinking for a moment, Xi'er suddenly realized, "When I first met you in the forest, you asked me if anything strange had happened nearby, but I actually wanted to inquire about that coordinate, right?" ”

"I'm just asking. To be honest, I don't think there's any value in following that lead. That case had nothing to do with me in the first place, I just didn't want to let Gu Liao take the risk alone. As a result, he was harmed by me......"

"Do you remember that coordinate now? Maybe your friend has already gone there. ”

"I don't remember." Fang Liang sighed regretfully, "Even if he went to that place first, how could he not come back for so long." After we separated, I waited for him at the agreed place for two days and two nights. ”

"Well, that's right." Xi'er's mood also became sad. Although she wanted to comfort Fang Liang, she felt that no matter what she said at this time, it was difficult to be convincing.

"Let's look for it again." After a while, Xi'er cheered up and said, "If you still can't find your friend this time, when we go out, we will go to the police station to find the police for help." Since your friends are here to investigate the case, and you explain to them what happened, I am sure they will definitely help you. ”

"You're right, I should have explained it to them a long time ago."
