"Where's next?" Back in the car, Luo Fan asked Gu Song's opinion. The latter patted the laptop in his hand and said with a wry smile: "I have to go home now to find clues, it seems that tonight is a sleepless night." ”

"Can you do it all yourself?" Luo Fan showed a "I understand" expression. is also a former police officer, how can he not know the hard work of checking the surveillance.

"Then what's the solution, how dare I slack off on the task given to me by the Xia team."

"Why don't you ......," Luo Fan thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you, I have time anyway." ”

"No, what's so embarrassing." Gu Song was polite, but in his heart he wished that someone would help him share this drudgery. "I've been delaying you for hours today, and I can't bother you anymore."

Do you really think so? Luo Fan smiled in his heart. "I don't think it's bothersome, on the contrary, I'm actually enjoying the feeling now, like going back to a few years ago. I think you can understand my feelings, although we are no longer police officers, but the enthusiasm in our hearts to solve crimes has not diminished in the slightest. ”

Gu Song nodded and agreed, otherwise he wouldn't have been outside in the middle of the night to help Xia Shi run errands.

"Then go to my house, it's not too far from here." Luo Fan said and started the car.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Luo Fan's residence. Luo Fan's home was cleaner and tidier than Gu Song imagined, and it was not at all like a place where a single man lived. Although it is a temporary rented house, it is beautifully decorated and exquisite, and the various decorations are also very elegant.

"You're in good condition here, and you're very clean." Gu Song praised the landlord and Jiang Peiyao's laptops on the dining table in the living room.

"Thanks to the help of a friend, I was too lazy to clean up myself."

"Girlfriend?"

"No, it's a female friend." Luo Fan corrected. After speaking, he saw Gu Song's curious expression and knew that the other party wanted to continue gossiping, so he added, "I like her, but she just treats me as a younger brother, that's all." ”

In fact, Luo Fan wanted to say to Gu Song: You also know that woman. But he can't say, at least for now, he can't "confess" his relationship with that woman to Gu Song.

If the woman knew that he had met Gu Song more than once in private, she would definitely say to him in a warning tone: Don't approach that dangerous man without permission, that would be tantamount to digging your own grave.

In fact, he never took the initiative to approach Gu Song. It was fate that arranged for them to meet, bringing these two people who weren't supposed to be friends together under the same roof.

Forget it, let's find a way to explain it when she knows. Luo Fan pulled his thoughts back to his eyes and smiled imperceptibly at Gu Song. "You sit casually, I'll make two cups of coffee, and I'll be here soon."

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and I returned home tired in the summer. He didn't turn on the light, went straight into the bedroom, and fell headfirst on the bed. He wanted to call and ask Gu Song about the investigation there, but he was afraid that he would disturb the other party's rest in the middle of the night. After a moment's hesitation, he threw his phone aside and quickly fell asleep.

At 6:20 a.m., Xia Shi woke up from an intermittent dream, and it was still dark outside the window. He felt dizzy, but he couldn't sleep. He got up from the bed, took a hot shower in the bathroom, and when he came out, he found two missed calls on his phone, as well as a message from a colleague: Team Xia, the DNA results are out, and the source of the body has been found.

Alas, it's finally right! Xia Shi held his phone and sighed with emotion.

The recent media hype about the factory cremation case has not progressed because they have not been able to identify the deceased. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that a senior female student from R University of Political Science and Law, accompanied by a counselor, came to the city bureau to report the case, saying that their classmate Ji Lan seemed to be missing, and the stagnant case finally made a breakthrough.

When he received a call from his subordinate Jiang Wei, Xia Shi was discussing Jiang Peiyao's matter with Gu Song in the car. Although the investigation task here is also urgent, as a police officer, his job is more important. He cheekily threw the trouble he had taken on Gu Song, making the other party mistakenly think that he had calculated like this from the beginning.

Back to the criminal police team, Xia Shi immediately came to the small conference room on the second floor. Jiang Wei was waiting anxiously for him inside, and there was a girl in her early twenties and a tall, thin middle-aged man sitting in the conference room.

The man's surname is Gu, and he is a teacher at the School of Public Administration of the University of Political Science and Law, and he is also a counselor in the girls' class. The suspected missing girl is named Ji Lan, a fourth-year student at the School of Management. Since the end of August this year, Ji Lan has been living alone in a rented house, concentrating on studying for graduate exams, and rarely getting in touch with her classmates.

Because the fourth-grade students do not have many courses, some students are busy with graduate school entrance examinations, some students are busy with internships and job hunting, and the school manages them relatively loosely, so no one has noticed Ji Lan's disappearance.

"How did you find out that Ji Lan's whereabouts are unknown?" After a general understanding of the situation, Xia Shi began to question the person who reported the crime. Although Jiang Wei had already grasped what had happened before he came back, he still had to sort out the ins and outs of the whole thing from the beginning, so as not to miss any key information. In addition, the cute girl in front of her with a ball-combed hair and a small face came to the criminal police team to find him, and Xia Jinyu asked her to come, which also made Xia Shi very concerned.

"November 19th is Ji Lan's birthday, I sent her WeChat in the morning and asked her out for dinner, but she never replied to my message. I called her several times that afternoon, and her phone kept being off. I was a little worried, but I didn't think much of it, thinking that she was just afraid of being disturbed, so she deliberately turned off her phone, or her phone was broken or something. I sent her birthday wishes and asked her to contact me again when she was free, and then put the matter aside for the time being and was busy with the work side of things.

However, four days later, that is, yesterday, Ji Lan still did not hear from him at all. I called her again, her phone was still off, and I realized something was wrong. It just so happened that last night, I met Xia Jinyu in the cafeteria and told him about Ji Lan. After hearing this, his expression became very serious, and he asked me if there was any other way to contact Ji Lan. I said that I knew where the house she rented was, and Xia Jinyu said that she would accompany me to see the situation. But before that, the two of us went to Mr. Gu first. ”

After Liu Tong finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the man sitting next to her. The latter nodded, and then the girl's words said, "I called Ji Lan's parents and asked them if Ji Lan had returned to her hometown and knew how she was doing. The two parents said that they had not contacted their daughter in the past month and did not know anything. Then, we asked classmates who were more familiar with Ji Lan about the situation, but no one knew where she went. We also went to see the house that Ji Lan rented near the school, and she probably hadn't been home for more than a month, so we came to the police. ”

"How do you know for sure she hasn't been home for over a month?" Xia Shi asked.

"It's Ji Lan's review notes!" Liu Tong hurriedly replied, "Ji Lan studies very seriously and takes notes every day. There was a date on the note, and I didn't write it again until October 17th. I think that's what she went missing that day. ”

"When was the last time you contacted Ji Lan?"

"I think about it, it should be ......" Liu Tong said and took out his mobile phone, flipped through the Moments record and said to Xia Shi, "It's October 14th, Ji Lan sent a circle of friends, saying that she wants to retreat and study, disconnect the Internet, and don't play with her mobile phone, so I haven't taken the initiative to contact her recently, and I don't even know that she has an accident......

Xia Shi let out a thoughtful "um", and suddenly asked curiously: "Why didn't you go to the police station near the school to report to the police, but came directly to the criminal police team to find me?" ”

"Xia Jinyu asked me to come." Liu Tong bit his lip, and his expression became even more sad. Xia Jinyu said that on the night of November 20, the police found a burned female body in an abandoned factory. I've seen the news too, but I really can't connect this incident with Ji Lan's disappearance, or I don't want to associate it in that way. However, Xia Jinyu believes that Ji Lan's height and age are more consistent with the victim, and the time of her disappearance is also consistent with the time when the deceased was killed. He said that the police were unable to identify the victim, and that there had been no progress in the case, and that perhaps the clues we provided could help you solve the case. So ......"

"I see." Xia Shi nodded slightly, "We will conduct a DNA comparison to confirm the identity of the deceased." If unfortunately, the victim is really your classmate, we will definitely try to find out the truth and bring the killer to justice. ”

"By the way, that's what you need." Teacher Gu took out a bag from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Jiang Wei. There were Ji Lan's toothbrushes, towels, and hair with hair follicles, all collected from her house and packed in sealed bags. You have to collect Ji Lan's DNA, these things are enough, Xia Jinyu said. After speaking, Teacher Gu smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's all because I'm not good, I usually don't care enough about the students." If Ji Lan really has three strengths and two weaknesses, as her teacher, I have an unshirkable responsibility......"

"Teacher Gu, let's not talk about this for now." Xia Shi waved his hand and diverted the topic, "According to your understanding, how is Ji Lan's interpersonal relationship?" Do you have a grudge against someone? Is there anything wrong with the relationship? ”

Teacher Gu and Liu Tong looked at each other for a moment, and then Liu Tong, who knew Ji Lan better, replied very cautiously: "Ji Lan's personality is a little introverted, not the kind of girl who loves to talk. But she has a good temper and never quarrels with others, and her classmates have a good impression of her. I don't think anyone would hate her to the point of hurting her. As for the relationship, she had a boyfriend before, but the two broke up half a year ago. ”

"What about the reason for the breakup?"

"That boy is going abroad for further study, and Ji Lan wants to stay in China for graduate school. The two had different plans for the future, so they broke up. I don't think Jilan's disappearance has anything to do with him. But if you guys want to investigate, I can ask for his contact information. ”

"Then I'm bothering you."

Jiang Wei carefully finished the record on the side, picked up the sample material given to him by Teacher Gu and said to Xia Shi: "Team Xia, I will send this to the laboratory now, so that they can make the results as soon as possible." ”

"Good!"

Seeing Jiang Wei walk out of the conference room, Xia Shi got up and said to the two reporters: "Come here today, you can go back." I'll call someone to inform you when the results are out. If necessary, please continue to cooperate with the police investigation. ”

"If it weren't for Xiaolan, I mean, the deceased ......" Liu Tong paused and said, "Will you continue to help find someone?" ”

"Yes." Xia Shi replied seriously, "As long as someone reports the case, we will actively deal with it." But our task force can't handle this matter, and I will let other colleagues continue to investigate. After Xia Shi finished speaking, he sent Teacher Gu and Liu Tong to the elevator hall. Mr. Liu, can I ask you a personal question? ”

"What?" Liu Tong glanced at Xia Shi in some surprise.

"How did you meet Xia Jinyu? You two aren't in the same academy, are you? ”

Liu Tong knew that the majestic criminal police captain in front of him was Xia Jinyu's elder brother, and it was normal to care about his younger brother's campus life. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "Jin Yu is a school grass, he is smart and very famous in school." But he's just ordinary friends. ”
