Bidding farewell to Officer Liu Yang, Gu Song returned to the criminal police detachment of the Municipal Bureau. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhao Xiaolin sitting in the place where he had sat this morning, watching the surveillance video of the bazaar intently, with two takeaway boxes and a few empty coffee cans piled up in front of him.

"Yo, I didn't think you were working hard." Gu Song walked behind Zhao Xiaolin, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You won't have been sitting here watching the surveillance for a day, right?" ”

"Brother Song, save me......" Zhao Xiaolin pressed the pause button, turned his head to Gu Song with teary eyes and complained, "Brother Xia Shi asked me to watch the surveillance video from beginning to end, and also asked me to find out who may be suspected of committing a crime from the passing crowd, do you think this is too embarrassing?" ”

"Well, it's really grinding to watch the surveillance." Gu Song had a deep understanding of this matter, and couldn't help but sympathize with Zhao Xiaolin in his heart. "Then you watched it for a day, did you find anything?"

Zhao Xiaolin scratched his hair depressedly and said, "How can you find it?" I'm not you, even if the murderer swaggers past the picture, I can't see that there is something wrong with him! ”

"Don't give in to difficulties so easily." Gu Song dragged a chair and sat next to Zhao Xiaolin, comforting him like a big brother and saying, "Don't we already know the physical characteristics of the suspect now?" He is about 1.8 meters tall, weighs about 130 pounds, and is about 20 to 30 years old. You take screenshots of all the people you think are suspicious, and then we'll look at who is the real murderer one by one. ”

"I understand." Zhao Xiaolin said a little overwhelmed, "But the time of the video is too long, and I don't know when to watch it even if I speed up to watch." And I'm afraid that there will be omissions when I watch it quickly, it's really fatal. ”

"Then you should focus on the surveillance from the afternoon of April 2 to the night of April 6. Because on the afternoon of the 2nd, when an enthusiastic citizen passed by the market, he casually took a photo of Xiaojie and uploaded the photo to the Internet. I think it's possible that the killer saw the photos on the Internet before running to the market to confirm the situation. ”

Zhao Xiaolin thought for a while and said, "It seems to make a little sense." If the killer is very concerned about child trafficking, it can be a convenient way for him to find a target online. ”

"Well, there's going to be a solution to everything. It's really not good, you just ask Xia Shi to find a few more people to come over and help you watch it together. ”

"I'd like to, too, but the team really doesn't have enough manpower right now. Everyone followed Team Qiao to investigate the trafficker gang, and even you, the wounded, were invited out of the hospital by the director. So the boring and boring job of checking surveillance can only be handed over to me, a new little police officer. ”

"Xiaolin, do you see that everyone is busy, but you are lonely and lonely in the small office watching the surveillance, you feel no sense of accomplishment, and your heart is unbalanced?"

"Not really." Zhao Xiaolin smiled bitterly and said, "The work of solving the case originally requires everyone's cooperation, and every link cannot be ignored." I just ......" he paused, looked at Gu Song with great envy and said, "I just don't know when I will be able to become the main team member like you and Brother Xia Shi." I also want to be as good as you, but I find that my abilities are really limited. ”

"People need to grow and exercise. You still have a long way to go in the future, and there is still a lot of room for growth, so why worry too early about what will happen in a few years. ”

"You don't understand." Zhao Xiaolin said very seriously, "A genius like you can't understand the mood of us ordinary people. When you were studying, you had already successfully solved several cases, caught bad guys with your own hands, and you could be appreciated by the leaders not long after you joined the work, and there are few people like you. ”

"Xiaolin, it's boring for you to chat like this." Gu Song was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Zhao Xiaolin smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Song, I don't mean anything else." I just think you're amazing, if only I could be half as smart as you. ”

"That's not the problem at all." Gu Song frowned unhappily, and said to Zhao Xiaolin with a serious expression, "What you lack is not wisdom and ability, but self-confidence. Get rid of the weakness in your personality and show a little masculinity. Sooner or later, you too can become a very good police officer. ”

"Do you really think so?" Zhao Xiaolin asked suspiciously, still looking unconfident when he spoke. Gu Song was a little annoyed, and slapped Zhao Xiaolin on the back, "Of course, I can never be wrong about people." You are serious and hardworking, you love your job and have a strong sense of justice, can't these excellent qualities give you a little bit of self-confidence? ”

Zhao Xiaolin looked at Gu Song in a daze, and only after a while did he show a faint smile, "That's right, sometimes I am indeed too lacking in self-confidence." Thank you for your encouragement, I'm in a much better mood now. With that, he took a deep breath, faced the computer screen again, and continued to work earnestly.

The "Valley of the Stars" bar is located at the very end of the bar street, and the façade is very low-key, which makes it look inconspicuous in the whole bar street. It was past six o'clock in the evening, and the bar had not yet reached its opening hours. When Liu Yang pushed the door and entered, melodious and soothing background music was playing in the store. The lighting in the room is ambiguous and soft, giving people a very pleasant feeling.

At first glance, the scale of this bar is not too large, but compared to the simple and low-key façade of the door, the environment inside is unique. The European-style retro décor is sophisticated and luxurious, with exquisite decorative paintings, baroque chandeliers and furniture throughout, giving you the illusion of traveling back in time.

As an amateur design enthusiast, Liu Yang is very interested in the details of the decoration of this bar. It is said that the owner's taste and cultivation can be seen from the decoration style of the store, and the owner of this store must be a person with considerable artistic attainments.

Just as Liu Yang was observingly observing the environment in the store, a young and handsome male waiter suddenly walked up to him and said to him apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, our store didn't officially open until seven o'clock." ”

"Oh, I'm not here to drink." Liu Yang came back to his senses, hurriedly showed his ID to the other party and said, "I am from the criminal police team, and I want to inquire about some information in your store." ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then asked with a nervous expression, "Is something wrong?" ”

Liu Yang smiled and comforted the other party and said, "It's okay, I'm just here to ask you about someone." Liu Yang said and took out the simulated portrait made by Jiang Shun with the police, and asked the waiter, "Have you seen this woman?" She's probably been to your shop more than once. At the beginning of last month, there was a small riot in your shop, and a female customer was harassed in your shop......"

"That ......" Before Liu Yang could finish speaking, the waiter raised his hand with an embarrassed face and said, "I'm sorry, Officer Liu, I'm new here in the past two days, and I don't know much about what you said." He turned and looked into the store, as if looking for a savior. At this time, a girl with a ponytail saw the situation on their side and immediately ran over and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Liu Yang repeated the question just now, and the girl thought for a while and said, "There seems to be such a situation last month. A very beautiful little girl was molested by a lewd uncle, and the two of them had a little unpleasantness. The little girl said in a fit of anger that she was a pseudo-mother, and I don't know if what she said was true or false. ”

"Do you still have an impression of this woman?" Liu Yang pointed to the portrait and asked, "She took the initiative to stand up to help the little girl out of the siege, and threw three thousand yuan at the man." ”

"Well...... girl, looking at the woman in the painting carefully, her expression a little embarrassed. I still have some impressions of what you said, but the time interval is too long, and I really can't remember what those people look like, sorry......"

"It's okay." Liu Yang shook his head and said. He looked thoughtfully at the other staff members who were busy in the store and asked, "By the way, are you in charge here?" ”

"Yes." The girl replied enthusiastically, "Our boss is in there now, I'll help you get him out." ”

A few minutes later, a red-faced, short, slightly bald, middle-aged man walked out of it. This person was wearing a brand-name suit with a lot of money, and his leather shoes were shiny, and he looked very heroic, but in Liu Yang's eyes, the image of this person was in great contrast with what he expected in advance.

"Hello, Officer Liu, I'm the owner of this bar, and my surname is Wen." The man walked over and shook Liu Yang's hand politely, and his speech and demeanor were quite decent.

"Hello, Mr. Wen." Liu Yang said straight to the point, "Can you delay you and your employees a little time?" I'd like to ask in your shop, does anyone know this woman? ”

"No problem." Mr. Wen glanced at the portrait and said to the girl with a ponytail, "Xiaoqian, let's stop what we are doing for the time being and gather here." We're trying to get this done before we get to business. ”

After a while, the employees in the bar came to Liu Yang one after another, Liu Yang held the portrait in his hand and asked, "Do any of you have an impression of this female guest?" It's best to have spoken to her in the past and learn a little bit about her. ”

As soon as he finished asking, there was an uproar in the crowd. Someone half-jokingly asked: "Comrade policeman, what's wrong with this woman?" Is it murder? Or was it killed? ”

When Mr. Wen heard this, he immediately glared at the man, who pursed his lips and felt very bored. The atmosphere was stalemate for a moment, and a sturdy young man suddenly walked out of the crowd, he looked at the portrait and said to Liu Yang: "Officer, I remember this woman. ”
