Xu Lang, who walked out of the dilapidated bar, stood at the door of the bar, looking at the dripping rain outside, he remembered a lot of past events.

Xu Lang didn't hold an umbrella, so he walked into the rain curtain and strolled on the street.

Xie Yongjun's sudden appearance made Xu Lang feel a bad premonition, as for what was wrong, Xu Lang didn't say it clearly for a while, he knew Xie Yongjun, he knew Xie Yongjun for a long time, and after all, Xu Lang and Xie Yongjun have known each other for about five or six years, but since Xie Yongjun was imprisoned, Xu Lang has visited him many times, but none of them can see him, and the things that Xu Lang brought him in have been returned, and after that, Xu Lang has never been there.

Xie Yongjun hates himself, Xu Lang's psychology is very clear, not only is it clear, but anyone who knows Xie Yongjun knows about it, Xu Lang never thought that after Xie Yongjun came out, there were so many homicides in S City, Xu Lang started the moment he saw Xie Yongjun's information, his first thought was that Xie Yongjun was the murderer, and he wanted to find him before the police and ask, why did he do this?

Once Xie Yongjun is found by the police, as long as conclusive evidence is found, what awaits Xie Yongjun is the death penalty, Xu Lang hopes that the murderer is not him, if it is not Xie Yongjun, then Xu Lang has to find evidence to prove this.

Xu Lang walked on the street wet, the raindrops were like naughty children, bouncing and falling on Xu Lang's head, shoulders, cheeks, they were tireless, tireless, happy, going forward one after another, Xu Lang did not return to the second criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau, because Xu Lang believed that as long as the clues found on the surveillance video were found, Ning Yanran would definitely let people search the whole city for Xie Yongjun's whereabouts, Xie Yongjun's hometown, the house where he lives now, but wherever Xie Yongjun appeared, the police would definitely search, even if Xu Lang goes, it is impossible to find anything, and Xu Lang believes that with Xie Yongjun's anti-reconnaissance awareness, as long as he senses that something is wrong, he will hide like a mouse and disappear.

Xu Lang walked aimlessly on the street, like a walking corpse, in the end, he didn't know what was going on, returned to his home, after opening the door, Xu Lang took off his shoes, closed the door, came to the living room barefoot, sat on the sofa, the whole person nested in the sofa, closed his eyes, and thought about something.

————

After Xu Lang left the police station, Ning Yanran issued an order to find Xie Yongjun's whereabouts throughout the city, and at the same time, she also contacted the prison and Xie Yongjun's hometown, they wanted to find Xie Yongjun's whereabouts as soon as possible.

At the same time, in addition to the police looking for Xie Yongjun, the people on the road are also looking for Xie Yongjun everywhere, and Xie Yongjun seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, whether it is the police or the people on the road, they have not found Xie Yongjun.

In addition to arranging for someone to find Xie Yongjun, Ning Yanran also contacted the prison and retrieved Xie Yongjun's archives during his imprisonment in prison. A person Ning Yanran was very familiar with, Xu Lang.

Originally, Ning Yanran guessed that Xu Lang knew Xie Yongjun, but that was just speculation, and there was no actual evidence, but now after seeing this information, Ning Yanran became more and more sure that Xu Lang must know Xie Yongjun, so Ning Yanran dialed Xu Lang's mobile phone, and as a result, Xu Lang's mobile phone was turned off, which made Ning Yanran have a bad premonition in her heart, she hurriedly contacted Du Ziqiao of the detective agency and asked Xu Lang if he had ever returned to the detective agency, and the answer was naturally no.

Ning Yanran contacted Shu Yue again and asked about Xu Lang's whereabouts, but as a result, Shu Yue didn't know where Xu Lang had gone.

After Ning Yanran hung up the phone, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, after Xu Lang left the Public Security Bureau, he neither went to the detective agency nor went to find Shu Yue, so where could he go? Could it be that he went to find Xie Yongjun? Thinking of this, Ning Yanran couldn't sit still, and she decided to go to Xu Lang's house to look for it.

When Ning Yanran drove to the downstairs of Xu Lang's house, she happened to meet Shu Yue, and the two of them met at the staircase, and the two of them glanced at each other and felt surprised.

Shu Yue looked at Ning Yanran, who looked anxious, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Xu Lang?" Is something wrong? ”

Although Ning Yanran was very anxious, she still tried her best to restrain her emotions and said: "Xu Lang didn't have anything wrong, it's just that there are some new discoveries in the case, I want to discuss it with him, but I can't find anyone else, I'm just a little worried." ”

Shu Yue glanced at Ning Yanran deeply, and said to her, "Let's go, let's go up together." ”

After Shu Yue finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs first, Ning Yanran hesitated, but still followed.

When Shu Yue took out the key to open the door, she was relieved when she saw the pair of wet shoes that were far apart when the door opened, it seemed that Xu Lang had gone home, Shu Yue changed her shoes at the door, and after finding a pair of slippers for Ning Yanran, she was the first to walk into the room.

Now the time is more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the room is very dim, one is because of the rain, it is dark outside, and the other is that the room is not lit because the light is not on, when Shu Yue turned on the light in the living room, she saw that there was a big puddle of water stains on the floor of the living room, Shu Yue frowned, and saw that the water stains were extending from the door to the sofa, she looked in the direction of the water stains, and sure enough, she saw a person sitting on the sofa, and Ning Yanran, who had changed her shoes, also saw this scene.

When the two of them came to the sofa and saw Xu Lang nesting on the sofa like a cat, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The sofa was wet, and there was a large pool of water stains on the floor in front of the sofa, and Xu Lang's clothes were wrinkled, and the originally wet clothes had also dried, which should have been dried by Xu Lang's own body temperature, Shu Yue walked over and pushed Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, who was sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing that it was Shu Yue, he said lazily, "Why are you here?" ”

After saying this, Xu Lang sat up, stretched his waist, and yawned, and then, he saw Ning Yanran standing not far from the sofa, and asked curiously, "Why are you here too?" ”

Ning Yanran was not as good-tempered as Shu Yue, and when she saw that Xu Lang was actually sleeping lazily at home, she asked with a slap on her face: "The team is busy to death, you are still in the mood to sleep here, do you know what kind of behavior you have?" ”

Shu Yue saw that Ning Yanran was going to talk to Xu Lang about business, so she went to the kitchen very interestingly and prepared dinner.

Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Captain Ning, please make it clear, I am not your subordinate, nor am I a member of your public security system, it is my freedom to go where I want, you can't control it." ”

"You... I..."Ning Yanran was choked by Xu Lang and was speechless.

After Xu Lang said this, he didn't gain an inch, but changed the topic and asked, "Xie Yongjun, have you found it?" ”

Ning Yanran walked from the back of the sofa to the front, sat down opposite Xu Lang, then shook her head and said, "I have already asked people to look for it, and there is no news for the time being." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yanran stared at Xu Lang's eyes and asked, "According to the information I got, whether our police are looking for him now, even the people on the road are looking for him, what's the matter?" Is it your fault? ”

Hearing that Ning Yanran and they hadn't found Xie Yongjun for the time being, Xu Lang subconsciously frowned, he didn't listen to Ning Yan's words at all, the police were looking for Xie Yongjun, which was expected by Xu Lang, the people on the road were looking for Xie Yongjun everywhere, Xu Lang also knew that after all, this was what he asked people to do, originally, Xu Lang thought that Ning Yanran came over to tell him that she had found Xie Yongjun, and now it seems that there may be some problems in finding Xie Yongjun.

Xu Lang sorted out his emotions, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and then looked at Ning Yanran and asked, "Are there any clues in the results of several investigations?" ”

Ning Yanran saw that Xu Lang didn't answer her question, she frowned, and just wanted to question Xu Lang a few words, but when she saw Xu Lang take the initiative to ask about the case, she temporarily suppressed the emotions in her heart and said: "Li Lei investigated the eight taxis, inside and out, in detail, and compared and analyzed all the fingerprints that could be collected, and as expected, the fingerprints of the same person were found in the eight taxis. ”

"Whose fingerprints?" Xu Lang asked.

"Xie Yongjun"

Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang after speaking, carefully observing the changes in the expression on Xu Lang's face.

Xu Lang's face did not change any expression, obviously, he was not surprised by this result at all, Xu Lang asked again: "Where did you find the fingerprints?" ”

Ning Yanran thought for a while and said: "A fingerprint was taken from the inside and outside handle of the rear door of the taxi, and in the money of several taxi drivers who were killed, Xie Yongjun's fingerprint was also found on one of the 100-yuan bills. ”

"Did you find his fingerprints somewhere else?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

Ning Yanran shook her head and said, "No." ”

Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

"What do you think about this?" Xu Lang asked after a moment of silence.

Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang, thought for a while and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Naturally, it's Xie Yongjun."

"According to the fingerprints we collected from the vehicles involved in the accident, Xie Yongjun was the last to take these taxis, there is no doubt about it."

"Oh? Tell me, why are you so sure he's the last passenger in the eight taxis? Xu Lang looked at Ning Yanran and asked with interest.

"First, on the door handle of the right door in the back of the taxi, although many fingerprints were extracted, Xie Yongjun's fingerprints were the clearest and covered on the top."

Xu Lang nodded when he heard this.

"Second, these accident vehicles, the left door of the rear row can not be opened, under normal circumstances, they are locked, and we also found a few fingerprints on the co-pilot's door, but they are not very clear, according to the water stains inside the vehicle, we did not see water stains in the co-pilot, only saw an obvious pool of water stains behind the rear co-pilot's seat."

"Third, in the surveillance video, we saw that several taxis in the accident stopped for the last time to solicit passengers, and the last time they appeared in the surveillance probe, they did not find any signs of Xie Yongjun getting off, and the place where they left the monitoring range and found the body of the taxi driver was not too far away, so it can be concluded that Xie Yongjun was the last passenger to take a taxi."

After listening to Ning Yanran's analysis, Xu Lang nodded frequently, this is the first time that Xu Lang has known Ning Yanran for so long, and she has expressed her views and judgments in front of Xu Lang, Xu Lang was a little impressed by Ning Yanran, but Xu Lang still asked: "Then according to your judgment, the murderer of the eight taxi drivers is Xie Yongjun?" ”

Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang's face, thought for a while, shook her head, and said: "Whether Xie Yongjun is the murderer of the eight taxi drivers or not, this is not certain, but he is the last passenger to ride in these vehicles, and the death of the eight victims must have something to do with him, I don't believe that a person who has intersected with eight dead people in a row will have nothing to do with the death of eight victims." ”

Xu Lang nodded again, and then asked a question that was not related.

"Do you usually take a taxi?"

"What's wrong?" Ning Yanran asked puzzled.

"Do you usually prefer to sit in the passenger seat or in the back seat when you take a taxi?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

Ning Yanran became more and more puzzled, she thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Xu Lang said.

"If I'm alone, I'll sit in the front seat, if there's someone else, I'll sit in the back, if it's a woman with me, I'll sit in the back, if it's a man with me, I'll sit in the front seat, or if he's in the front seat, I'll sit in the back." Ning Yanran said truthfully.

Xu Lang nodded, asked another question, and said, "Then when will you pay for a taxi?" ”

"Of course, after the car arrives at the location, what's wrong?" Ning Yanran became more and more confused about what Xu Lang was going to ask.

Xu Lang pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you find any blood stains on the banknotes with Xie Yongjun's fingerprints?" ”

Ning Yanran thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

"Doesn't seem to have one?" Xu Lang raised his head and looked at her with strange eyes.

Ning Yanran's cheeks were red when Xu Lang saw it, and she smiled awkwardly, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Lei's phone, after the phone was connected, Ning Yanran asked: "Did you find any blood stains on the banknote with Xie Yongjun's fingerprint?" ”

"Nope." Li Lei said on the other end of the phone.

"Not a single one?"

"Not a single one is gone."

"What's wrong, Team Ning? Where are you now? ”

"Oh, no, I'm at Xu Lang's house."

Ning Yanran hung up the phone after speaking.

Then, Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang, shook her head, and said, "No blood stains were found on the banknotes. ”

Xu Lang nodded, Xu Lang heard Li Lei's voice on the phone just now, he looked at Ning Yanran and asked another question, "If you were a murderer, when would you choose to kill the taxi driver?" ”

Ning Yanran thought for a while and said, "Of course, after the car stopped, she started when the driver was looking for money." ”

"Why?"

"Because at that time, the driver's attention was on the money, and he would not be alert and notice what the passengers were doing."

Xu Lang nodded and said, "That's right, this is the best choice for a criminal when he commits a crime." ”

"You mean to say?" Ning Yanran's eyes widened and looked at Xu Lang, obviously, she had already followed Xu Lang's train of thought.

Xu Lang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, you are right, it is very likely that it was not Xie Yongjun who killed the eight taxi drivers." ”

Ning Yanran pondered for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head, she was not sure about the answer given by Xu Lang for the time being.

It is true that when the general criminals commit crimes, especially when committing robberies against taxi drivers, they generally choose multiple people to commit crimes, one is for safety, and the other is to successfully grab money, generally at this time, they will wait for the car to stop after the driver drives the car to the designated position, and then carry out the robbery, because at this time, the driver's attention and vigilance will be relaxed, and they will focus on the money, if, at this time, the gangsters kill the taxi driver, then, The money he gave to the taxi drivers would be more or less stained with blood, and if only one or two of them did not get bloodstained, they would have said that it had passed, but none of the eight taxi drivers and the eight hundred-yuan bills had blood stains on them, so it would be impossible to say.

In addition, there is another point that if Xie Yongjun is really a murderer, then after he deceived the taxi driver to the designated place, there is no need to give money, and he left such obvious evidence at the scene without wearing gloves, with Xu Lang's understanding of Xie Yongjun, if Xie Yongjun is a murderer, he can do nothing to leave no evidence, after all, eight years in prison is not for nothing, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake and leave a fatal clue.

If Xie Yongjun doesn't have a problem with his brain, then it means a problem, there is a person, after Xie Yongjun paid to get out of the car, he or she got into the car, took advantage of the taxi driver's unpreparedness, and brutally killed the taxi driver, then, who is this person? Why did he do it? What is the relationship between him and Xie Yongjun? Accomplice or enemy? These problems need to find Xie Yongjun, and through him, they can know the truth, and now, the only thing the police can do is to seize the time to find Xie Yongjun and open a breakthrough from him.
