After talking about these things, Mu Zi was already crying in front of Xia Shi.

Faced with Muzi's sadness, Xia Shi was a little overwhelmed. He thought that if Xia Jinyu was sitting here at this moment, he would probably give Mu Zi a caring hug and borrow her a pair of shoulders that she could rely on, but it was obviously not appropriate to do this by himself.

Coaxing the child Xia Shi does have his own set, because during the most disobedient and difficult period of time when Xia Jinyu was the most disobedient, Xia Shi really spent a lot of effort to take care of him. But coaxing girls, Xia Shi has little experience. As soon as he saw Mu Zi's heartbroken expression, he felt a huge headache.

After thinking about it for a long time, he could only silently hand over a tissue, let Mu Zi wipe away his tears and snot, and asked some things that he thought were more important as a policeman. Of course, he still has to find out the more important information from the police in charge of the case.

After all, he is not a spectator who stays here to listen to the midnight story, and does not need to express his feelings and opinions at the end of the story. All he could talk about was the part of the plot that had to do with Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance, and what to do next.

He carefully picked up the crumpled and distorted piece of paper from the coffee table and asked Mu Zi, "Do you still want me to help you find out who wrote this anonymous letter?" ”

Mu Zi sniffed and replied uncertainly, "It's probably just a prank done by some boy who likes Xiaoyan." Xiaoyan is very cute, and there must be a lot of boys who have a crush on her at school. Maybe someone hated me for it, so they secretly hid this anonymous letter in my desk. ”

"But as you just said, regarding Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance, the school leaders used a transfer to cover it up. The classmates at the school didn't know the truth, and no one knew that her disappearance had anything to do with you. This person obviously knows something when he writes this, otherwise how would he ask you for someone? ”

"Well...... this" Mu Zi also felt very puzzled in her heart, and she really couldn't think of any boy who would know what happened between her and Xiaoyan. Immediately, she told Xia Shi about her suspicions about Ling Xiang, saying that Ling Xiang's father was a police officer and might have learned some relevant information through some channels. She has a long-standing grudge with Ling Xiang, and Ling Xiang may use this incident to further disrupt her life, which will affect her academic performance, because Ling Xiang has always been jealous of her excellent grades.

But if Ling Xiang did it, there are some things that don't make sense in this matter. For example, Ling Xiang is a notoriously big mouth, she can't hide secrets in her heart, and that girl prefers to spread the word about it than a boring little trick like writing an anonymous letter, wishing that all the students in the school knew that she was the one who caused Jiang Xiaoyan's whereabouts to be unknown.

Xia Shi felt that this matter was not completely impossible, but it was very unlikely. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask Mu Zi, "Does Jiang Xiaoyan have a boyfriend?" Or is there a male classmate who has an ambiguous relationship with her? ”

"From what I've learned, I don't think so." Mu Zi thought back and said, "Xiaoyan is a very obedient girl, and she never thought of falling in love in high school. Although some boys have pursued her, she has politely refused. She doesn't usually have much contact with boys, but spends most of her time with me. ”

"Jiang Xiaoyan never told others that she was going to be a part-time model?"

"Probably not. At that time, we were on winter vacation and couldn't get in touch with other students. After Xiaoyan disappeared, the police reviewed her communication records and chat records and found that she had only contacted me from the afternoon of January 29 to the morning of January 30. ”

"In other words, apart from you and Jiang Xiaoyan's family, no one knows that her disappearance has anything to do with you?"

"Well, that's theoretical."

"Okay, I know the basics." Xia Shi folded up the anonymous letter and stuffed it into the envelope, and sighed leisurely, "I'll take this letter back to the bureau to help you check it and see if there are any traces left on it." Hopefully it's just an inconsequential prank......"

"Officer Xia." Mu Zi looked at Xia Shi with grateful eyes and asked, "Will you really help me?" ”

"yes." Xia Shi replied as a matter of course, "Otherwise, what time will I spend here with you in the middle of the night." ”

Mu Zi checked the time with her mobile phone, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and she couldn't continue to delay Xia Shi's precious rest time. Originally, the other party's work was very hard, and there was a tricky homicide case to deal with at hand. She was very touched by the fact that the other party was willing to stay and listen to her talk about these troubles.

Thinking of this, Mu Zi smiled embarrassedly at Xia Shi and said, "Officer Xia, you are really a good person. ”

Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this sentence. The two of them were silent for a moment, and Mu Zi took out a set of new math papers issued by the teacher, ready to start staying up late to study.

That night, Summer Time didn't come home, and planned to spend the night in the bedroom inside. Even though there were no pillows, no quilts, and even the plastic packaging on the mattress hadn't been removed, these little things weren't a problem for him. He lay on the bed, thinking about what Mu Zi told him, thinking about whether Jiang Xiaoyan's disappearance was related to human trafficking and whether it was related to the criminal gang they wanted to investigate, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

In his dreams, he clearly saw what he had experienced as a child. A thin, frail little boy covered with scars stood lonely and helpless in front of him, looking so sad and hopeless. The boy did not speak, nor answered any questions, but kept crying, as if he had been cursed by an evil spirit, as if he were going to cry until the end of his life, and his whole heart was broken. From that moment on, he was determined to protect the child and never let that child be harmed by anyone again.

As the years passed, his hatred of human traffickers grew. Whenever he sees similar news reports, he can't wait to immediately arrest those traffickers and break up their bodies. For the sake of justice, but also for the sake of hatred, he was determined to become a police officer while choosing to protect the child. Although he knew that the bad people in this world would never be caught, he would definitely do everything in his power to punish all the evils he could see......

Xia Shi didn't know when Muzi rested, or if he didn't rest at all. When he woke up from his dream in a daze and pushed the door out of the bedroom, Mu Zi had already finished washing up and was sitting at the coffee table to sort out his schoolbag.

Outside, the sky had just dawned, and many people were still immersed in their early morning sleep, while the hard-working high school juniors were about to plunge into a new day's battle.

Summer came to the bathroom and hurriedly washed his face. He hadn't shaved in two days, he had a layer of cyan stubble on his chin, and he looked very haggard in the mirror.

He had an uneasy premonition in his heart that they were going to face a very large criminal gang this time. When they stay where they are, I don't know how many innocent lives are being sold as commodities with a clear price and thousands of miles away from home. Some are still alive, some are dead, and some are worse than dead.

A few minutes later, Xia Shi returned to the living room and said to Mu Zi, who was sorting out the papers, "You guys are studying at seven o'clock in the morning, right?" I'll send you to school. ”

"Don't bother." Mu Zi said while sorting out his things, "There is a bus to the school near the community, so I can just take the bus myself." ”

"Let's go together." Xia Shi insisted, "Just after sending you, I'll go to work in the criminal police team." ”

The two of them had a casual breakfast at the entrance of the community, and Xia Shi drove Muzi to school.

It was not yet 7 o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the criminal police detachment, and Xia Shi thought that no one would come earlier than him, but when he opened the office door, he found that there was a person sleeping on the table inside. When I got closer, that person was Gu Song.

Like Zhong Xin, Gu Song's vigilance is also very strong, maybe people like them who worry about being hunted down and killed all day long are like this. As soon as Xia Shi approached, Gu Song immediately came to his senses, and quickly got up and made a defensive move, this sudden move really surprised Xia Shi.

"You're a fucking corpse?" Xia Shi hurriedly took a few steps back and scolded angrily. Gu Song saw that it was him, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He slumped back in his chair, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I slept in a daze, I thought it was someone sent by the organization to assassinate me." ”

"Is someone really trying to assassinate you?" Xia Shi raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

Gu Song shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, anyway, I waited for three months and didn't see anyone who came to kill me." I guess they're busy with something else right now, and they're not interested in me, the rat who escaped from the chaos. ”

"What happened to you over there in Liangshan?" Summer time took the opportunity to inquire. He had always been curious about this matter, and his colleagues around him knew very little about it, and only heard some large boxes of information with no substance. When I asked the leaders above, of course, they refused to disclose the specific situation. The more secretive and mysterious he was, the more he wanted to know the truth.

"What kind of criminal organization is that? Why would an underground prison be built in that kind of place? Who are the people in the prison? How did you find that prison? What do you know about them, and they're going to send someone to kill you? How are they doing now? Extinguished? Escaped? Is your mission over? Xia Shi asked a bunch of questions in one breath, and the eagerness of his attitude was far from his usual cold words.

Gu Song looked at Xia Shi and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Do you just want to know the answer so much?" ”

Xia Shi nodded, showing an expectant expression. At this time, Gu Song suddenly sat up straight, and beckoned to Xia Shi solemnly and said, "Come here." ”

Xia Shi thought that Gu Song was going to tell him some amazing big secret, so he leaned his ear over without even thinking about it. Gu Song put his mouth to his ear with a serious expression, and said mysteriously: "Actually, the more you want to know, the less I will tell you." ”

"Shit, slut." Xia Shi pushed Gu Song fiercely, glared at him angrily and said, "Yesterday I praised you for becoming mature, and my opinion of you has just changed a little. I will retract that sentence now. It looks like you're still the same as before, a complete bastard. ”

"Each other." Gu Song smiled and looked at Xia Shi's face that was slightly distorted because of anger, and there was an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
