When Ning Yanran led the people of the second criminal investigation team to the scene and found Wu Yong, Ning Yanran found that Wu Yong was jumping up and scolding his mother.

After Wu Yong finished speaking, Ning Yanran walked over and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

After seeing Ning Yanran coming, Wu Yong sighed and said, "I have lost his trace for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Ning Yanran raised her eyebrows and asked, "In other words, Bu Zimo escaped from the encirclement, right?" ”

Although Wu Yong didn't want to admit it in his heart, he still nodded.

If it was before, after Ning Yanran knew about this incident, she would definitely ask Wu Yong how to handle the case as soon as possible, but since the 7.12 case, many of Ning Yanran's styles have changed, she did not ask Wu Yong how to make Bu Zimo jump out of the encirclement, but asked people to bring a map of the city in the north of the city, and with the help of the car lights, they checked the nearby terrain and landforms at the scene.

After looking at the map for a while, Ning Yanran found that the north of the city was indeed very chaotic, with imperfect monitoring equipment, many illegal buildings, and many gray industries, plus this is an urban area with a dense foreign population, so if you want to block this area in a short period of time, not to mention how much manpower and material resources you have to invest, it is too late to just say that time, and Bu Zimo is not an ordinary criminal, but a professionally trained policeman, and he is clear about many of the conventional methods used by the police to handle cases. He wanted to escape from the police quickly, and it was very simple, no wonder, after Wu Yong and the others rushed to the scene as soon as possible, they still failed to catch Bu Zimo.

Just when Ning Yanran was checking the map, Guan Feng, the captain of the Chengbei Criminal Investigation Detachment, didn't know when he came to Wu Yong and Ning Yanran's side, he waited until Ning Yanran finished reading the map, and said: "Team Wu, Team Ning, I apply to our Chengbei Criminal Investigation Detachment to continue to search the neighborhood and ensure that Bu Zimo is caught before dawn." ”

Wu Yong and Ning Yanran glanced at each other, Ning Yanran looked at the man in front of him who was nearly forty years old, knowing his current mood, and being able to understand his mood, it is a good thing that Guan Feng can have this attitude at this time, but it is not so simple to arrest Bu Zimo, the scene environment is complicated, many police officers who came to arrest Bu Zimo are not very familiar with this terrain, and now, Bu Zimo is very likely to have jumped out of their encirclement, maybe he has left the north of the city now, It seemed impossible to find him in just a few hours.

There are difficulties, and the difficulty is also very great, but after a simple exchange with Wu Yong, Ning Yanran decided to temporarily send additional people to the north of the city to conduct a surprise inspection, the focus is to find Bu Zimo, and the city criminal investigation detachment where Guan Feng is located is at the forefront as the tip of a spear.

After Guan Feng heard this decision, he didn't say much, and directly turned around and took people to do things.

Wu Yong is the main person in charge of Bu Zimo's case, and after he left, he also turned around and went to assign tasks, Ning Yanran stood in place, she looked at the dark night, and remembered a person for no reason, Xu Lang.

If Xu Lang was the person in charge of this case, what would he do? Will he continue to lead people to search the Chengbei District like Wu Yong, or will he directly transfer his position and block the intersection between the Chengbei District and other areas? Ning Yanran didn't know.

For Xu Lang, in fact, Ning Yanran's heart is very complicated, she can't get used to Xu Lang's sloppy appearance, Xu Lang's sloppy style, and Xu Lang's posture of always having a bamboo in her chest, but Ning Yanran often has to admit that Xu Lang's sensitivity in many things is far more than many people.

When Ning Yanran first started to cooperate with Xu Lang, she felt that Xu Lang was a little smarter, a little more experienced, and a little more observant, she, a person who came down from the Provincial Public Security Department, didn't think that Xu Lang was anything great, more often, Ning Yanran scoffed at many of Xu Lang's opinions, but many things are often the same as what Xu Lang said, judging from the several cases she and Xu Lang cooperated in investigating last year, Xu Lang was right most of the time, so, in the subsequent case handling process, Ning Yanran didn't realize that she was becoming more and more dependent on Xu Lang, although she didn't want to admit it, but when many difficult cases appeared, the first thing she thought of was Xu Lang, as if she only needed to give Xu Lang a phone call and simply narrate the case, Xu Lang could help him sort out a clear way of thinking about handling the case, which could make her suddenly open up and avoid many detours, but now, When the 7.12 case happened, Ning Yanran still remembered Xu Lang as before, but now she has no way to ask Xu Lang's opinion.

Since Ning Yanran was discharged from the hospital and returned to the second criminal investigation team to start work, she eats and lives in the office almost every day, rarely goes home, to put it mildly, in such a hot season, she is spoiled, she occasionally goes home to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and then make a cup of coffee and continue to read information at home, there is no desire to rest at all.

Is Ning Yanran tired? She was very tired, very tired, but she didn't dare to rest, she didn't dare to sleep, every time she fell asleep, what appeared in front of her was the scene of Xu Lang appearing in front of her at the same time on July 12, especially the kidnapped Xu Lang, covered in blood, Ning Yanran couldn't let go every time she thought about it, sometimes, Ning Yanran was wondering if it was Xu Lang who was taken hostage, or the person who took the hostage was the real Xu Lang, Ning Yanran herself sometimes couldn't figure it out.

After Ning Yanran came back this time, she found a lot of strange things, for example, Lu Ye or she continued to track down Xu Lang's affairs, for example, He Yongzhi who came down from the Provincial Public Security Department, He doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about the 7.12 case and the murder of a taxi on a rainy night, Ning Yanran doesn't know what He Yongzhi has been doing with the criminal investigation team of the Provincial Public Security Department recently, for example, not long after Xu Lang's disappearance, Brother Lang's detective agency suddenly announced that it was temporarily closed, and everyone in the office suddenly disappeared, and for example, Xu Lang's girlfriend Shu Yue, she also disappeared.

What makes Ning Yanran even more strange is that in addition to the second criminal investigation team and the people in the public security system, all the people who have a close connection with Xu Lang have disappeared one by one, Allen, who used to pester Xu Lang and deliver chicken soup to Xu Lang at the door of the Public Security Bureau, has never appeared again, before, Ning Yanran had been to the bar where Allen was, and learned that Allen had not gone to work on July 11th, and Ning Yanran contacted other people who were directly related to Xu Lang, and they were surprised to find that these people were either uncontactable. Either they just don't know, which makes Ning Yanran feel more and more strange and confused.

It has been two weeks since the 7.12 case occurred. Everyone seems to be inquiring about the real cause of the 7.12 case, checking Gao Chenghua, checking Xie Yongjun, and checking Bu Zimo, but no one took the initiative to investigate Xu Lang, it seems that Xu Lang's life and death are so unimportant to them, even Lu Ye, who has always cared about Xu Lang, has not taken the initiative to mention Xu Lang's matter in many meetings, as if there has never been a person like Xu Lang, as if no one cares about Xu Lang except for the second criminal investigation team and Ning Yanran, Ning Yanran doesn't understand why.

Just as Ning Yanran was standing there thinking nonsense, suddenly, her mobile phone rang.

Ning Yanran took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was Lu Xing calling, Ning Yanran answered the phone and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?" ”

"Team Ning, I just investigated the surveillance video near your current location and unexpectedly found one thing." Lu Xing said on the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter?"

"I found out that on the 10th of July, Brother Lang went to the bar near you alone."

"Are you sure?" Ning Yanran asked with a frown.

"Sure, the surveillance video is retrieved from my Tianyan system, and it is 100% certain."

"Okay, I see."

Ning Yanran turned her head and glanced at the bar that was still flashing neon lights, and suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, have you found Bu Zimo's whereabouts?" ”

"No, Team Ning, you are at the scene, and you have also seen the situation at the scene, where there is little surveillance, and after Bu Zimo came out of the bar, he never appeared in the surveillance video again, he must be deliberately avoiding the surveillance, I suspect that he either has some secret hiding place in the Chengbei District, or has left the Chengbei District."

"Okay, you've worked hard, let's rest early after you're done."

Ning Yanran hung up the phone after speaking.

The question Lu Xing said was similar to what Ning Yanran expected, no matter if Bu Zimo had some secret hiding place in the north of the city, or if he left the north of the city, it was not good news for the police, it was undoubtedly more difficult to find a Bu Zimo in such a complex environment, Bu Zimo was still in the north of the city, it was good to say, if he left the north of the city, it would be difficult to catch him again, thinking of this, Ning Yanran sighed deeply, she thought of Xu Lang again, and then, Thinking of what Lu Xing had just called him, Ning Yanran walked into the ordinary-looking bar alone.

Maybe it's late, or maybe it's because of the arrival of the police, in short, there is no deafening DJ playing in the bar at the moment, and there is no scantily clad dancer continuing to wriggle her body wildly on the stage, the bar seems a little deserted at the moment, there were originally many people in the bar, but now there are only a few tables and people sitting there drinking, they are drinking, while looking at Ning Yanran who walked in in a police uniform, the corners of their mouths hooked up a smile but not a smile.

Ning Yanran didn't care about these people's scrutiny, she walked straight to the bar counter, looked at Wang Jin with gauze wrapped around his head and a scar on his face, Ning Yanran sat down on a high stool, looked at Wang Jin and asked, "You are the owner of this bar?" ”

The bar, which had been in chaos due to the fight, had been scattered all over the floor during this time, the broken wine bottles scattered all over the ground, the drinks and blood stains on the floor, and the tables, chairs and benches that were lying on the ground had been cleaned up, and there was no indication that an hour ago, there was an incident here that almost caused a murder.

After Wang Jin saw Ning Yanran, he quickly and elegantly mixed a cocktail, sandwiched two ice cubes from the ice bucket and put them into the wine glass, then put the wine glass in front of Ning Yanran, and said, "I'm not the boss, I'm just the bartender in this bar." ”

"Thank you."

Ning Yanran glanced at the wine glass in front of her and said, "I don't drink." ”

"I asked you, it doesn't cost money."

"No need, we have rules that you can't drink alcohol during work," Ning Yanran still refused.

Seeing that Ning Yanran was so persistent, Wang Jin didn't say anything anymore, just shrugged his shoulders, looked at Ning Yanran and asked, "Beautiful police officer, say it, what are you looking for me?" What do you want to ask? ”

Ning Yanran glanced at Wang Jin deeply, and then asked, "How do you know that I have something to do with you?" ”

Wang Jin grinned and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

As Wang Jin grinned, revealing his white teeth, the scar on his face also slowly writhed on his face, looking particularly scary, if it was before, Ning Yanran would definitely not want to stay with this kind of person for a minute longer, but now, she still asked patiently, "Who is your boss?" ”

Wang Jin glanced at Ning Yanran, lowered his head again, picked up a wine glass and began to wipe it with a towel, and said while wiping the wine glass: "Brother Hong." ”

Hearing the name Brother Hong, Ning Yanran's body suddenly shook, her eyes widened slightly, stared at Wang Jin and asked, "You said that Brother Hong is your boss?" ”

Wang Jin nodded, looked at Ning Yanran a little strangely, and said, "Yes, Brother Hong is the owner of this bar, and everyone nearby knows it, is there anything strange about this?" ”

"What's your boss's full name?"

Ning Yanran asked as much as she could calm her excitement.

"Wang Hong, isn't it written on the business license?" As Wang Jin spoke, he raised a finger and pointed to the business license hanging on the wall not far away.

Ning Yanran heard this, stood up, walked to the front of the business license and looked carefully, and found that it was indeed Wang Hong written on it, and Wang Jin did not deceive her.

After Ning Yanran glanced at it twice, she walked back to the bar and sat down, and asked, "What does your boss do?" ”

"Hehe... Beautiful police officer, what you are asking is very interesting. Wang Jin said with a smile.

"How?" Ning Yanran asked puzzled.

"Officer, what is this place?"

"Bar."

"Then you say, what does our boss do?"

Hearing Wang Jin say this, Ning Yanran was suddenly a little speechless, she raised her hand and straightened the bangs on her forehead, and then said, "I mean, your boss, in addition to being the owner of this bar, what kind of business have you done?" ”

Wang Jin put down the wine glass in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel, then raised his head, looked at Ning Yanran's eyes, and said: "I don't know, I'm just a little bartender, bartending is my job, what does the boss want to do, how can he tell me as an employee?" Besides, I'm not interested, I work to make money, and he can pay me on time every month, and I don't know about other things, and I don't want to know, after all, I know too much, it's not good, isn't it? ”

Ning Yanran stared into Wang Jin's eyes, Wang Jin also looked at Ning Yanran, the two of them looked at each other for half a minute, Ning Yanran couldn't see anything in the eyes of this young looking man, she had to give up asking from this aspect, but changed the topic and asked, "What's the matter with the injury on your head?" ”

Wang Jin subconsciously raised his hand and touched the gauze on his head, and then said with a smile: "Don't you police know?" Just now, a wanted criminal ran in to make trouble, and he smashed him with a wine bottle. ”

"How do you know about his wanted criminals?" Ning Yanran asked as she stared into Wang Jin's eyes.

"I saw it on TV." Wang Jin said as he pouted at the big screen on the wall.

Ning Yanran looked in the direction that Wang Jin looked in and found that the police's wanted warrants for Bu Zimo and Gao Chenghua were playing on the big screen.

Ning Yanran retracted her gaze, she looked at Wang Jin and asked, "What is he doing here?" Why make trouble? ”

"Hell knows, maybe I drank too much."

"Drinking too much?" Ning Yanran obviously didn't believe Wang Jin's statement.

"Yes, this kind of thing happens often, after all, the bar is a place to sell alcohol, some people don't drink well, and if they drink too much, they will make trouble, which is normal." Wang Jin still explained unhurriedly.

Ning Yanran looked at Wang Jin in front of her, she suddenly found that the smiling bartender in front of her was definitely not as simple as a bartender, Bu Zimo would appear here, there must be a purpose, and just now Ning Yanran learned from Wang Jin that the owner of the bar is called Wang Hong, known as Brother Hong, and Zhu Pan, who died in the basement of the north of the city before, has a person named Brother Hong on his mobile phone who has called countless times, is Brother Hong on Zhu Pan's mobile phone the owner of this bar Wang Hong? Ning Yanran is not sure for the time being, but Ning Yanran is sure that Bu Zimo's appearance here must have some kind of connection with Wang Hong.

"There's such a big deal going on at the bar, what about your boss? Why didn't you come? Ning Yanran continued to ask.

Wang Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know where our boss is, where he went, how can he tell me, an employee?" ”

"When will he be back?"

"I don't know."

"And what's his contact information?"

"I don't know."

"You don't even know your boss's mobile phone number?"

"The boss rarely uses his mobile phone, and usually, he comes here directly."

"When was the last time you saw your boss?"

"About two weeks ago."

"Exact time."

"On the afternoon of July 10th."

"You haven't seen him since?"

"Yes."

"Can you get in touch with him?"

Wang Jin shook his head.
