After the discussion of the case lasted for more than two hours, it was over, as for what everyone discussed at the discussion meeting, Xu Lang didn't know, because he basically didn't pay too much attention to listening, not that Xu Lang didn't want to solve the case, nor that he was passive and slacking off, but because, now with the death of Shangguan Watson, all the investigations have reached an impasse.

In the orphanage case, almost all the people involved died, Shangguan Jing left S City with Wang Yalan and Liu Siya and fled abroad, although the wanted warrants for the three of them have been issued, but they are already abroad, and it is not easy to arrest them, not to mention, there are people from the organization 'Master Chang' who are helping them cover up?

In the orphanage case, the police's initial judgment was that Shangguan Jing was behind the scenes in this series of cases, however, as the investigation deepened, it was discovered that Shangguan Jing was just a participant, and standing behind her was Shangguan Watson. Master Chang', now that Shangguan Watson has appeared and died, the case seems to be over here, and the police investigation has also reached an impasse, there are no superfluous clues, no superfluous evidence, no superfluous witnesses, in this case, it is very difficult to continue the investigation.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the police pay attention to human and material evidence in handling cases. There is no better way than to rely on bold assumptions and speculations, so this pre-case analysis meeting was not particularly successful.

After the meeting, everyone went to arrange their tasks according to the arrangements at the meeting, leaving only Xu Lang and Lu Ye still sitting in the conference room.

"What do you think?" Lu Ye walked to Xu Lang's side, sat down on the chair next to him, looked at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang, who had been in deep thought, slowly came back to his senses after hearing Lu Ye's words, his eyes full of doubts and confusion looked at Lu Ye, the color of confusion gradually faded, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity, he subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang's expression, shook his head helplessly, and repeated: "What are you thinking?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang handed the photo of the weird scorpion tattoo in his hand to Lu Ye and asked, "Uncle Lu, have you seen this tattoo before?" ”

Lu Ye took the photo and put it down, he had already seen the photo, but he didn't understand why Xu Lang was so interested in this tattoo, and asked himself if he had seen it, so Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang with some puzzlement and asked, "No, what's wrong?" ”

"No?"

This time it was Xu Lang's turn to be surprised and puzzled, Lu Ye and Xu Lang's father Xu Yuan are also teachers and friends, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, this, Xu Lang has known this since he was a child, it stands to reason that the black and white photo he once found in the books at home, Lu Ye should have seen it, why did Lu Ye say no? Xu Lang's heart was full of doubts, he frowned, stared at Lu Ye's eyes, and asked again, "You really haven't seen similar tattoos or photos?" ”

Lu Ye was a little uncomfortable when Xu Lang looked at him, Lu Ye thought about it carefully, and after muttering for a long time, he raised his head, shook his head again, and said, "There really isn't." ”

Xu Lang subconsciously squinted his eyes, stared into Lu Ye's eyes, and said: "I once found a similar black and white photo in a book at home, and it was this kind of scorpion tattoo on the photo, which should have been left by my father, haven't you seen it?" ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then frowned, shook his head, and said: "No, I have worked with your father for many years, when I was young, I worked under your father, and I have never seen similar tattoos and photos, how can you have it at home?" ”

Xu Lang didn't answer Lu Ye's question immediately, but stared at Lu Ye's eyes for a long time, and finally found that Lu Ye was not lying, Xu Lang lowered his head, looked at the photo on the table, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself: "I haven't even seen you, how can it be?" ”

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Lu Ye then understood, why Xu Lang looked at himself like this just now, it turned out that he was doubting himself, for Xu Lang doubting himself, Lu Ye not only did not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, he felt very relieved, as an excellent criminal investigator, he must maintain a psychology that can doubt anyone, no matter what the relationship between the other party and himself is, no matter what the other party's position is, as long as the clue points to someone, you must suspect, investigate, and verify, Only in this way can we not be deceived by the appearance of things.

Xu Lang was silent for a while, then looked at Lu Ye and asked, "In my impression, I remember that my father didn't seem to have this weird scorpion tattoo on his left hand, right?" ”

Xu Lang said this in his mouth, but his eyes looked at the position of the tiger's mouth on Lu Ye's left hand.

Lu Ye noticed Xu Lang's eyes, he generously lifted the sleeve of his left hand, put the entire left hand in front of Xu Lang, turned it over a few times, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, I didn't have it on my hand, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I haven't washed off the scars left by the tattoo." ”

Xu Lang didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, he just smiled at Lu Ye and didn't say anything.

After Lu Ye put down his rolled up sleeves, he said: "You have a good memory, and your father doesn't have this kind of tattoo on his left hand, not only does he not have it, but the four of us old guys don't have it on his hands." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang's brows subconsciously frowned, he looked at Lu Ye and asked, "Since you don't have any of them, how did that photo in my home come from?" Have you investigated similar cases before? ”

Lu Ye is old after all, and when Xu Lang's father Xu Yuan was alive, it was more than 20 years ago, and after such a long time, Lu Ye needed to think about it.

Lu Ye lowered his head, picked up the photo on the table again and looked at it carefully, he was thinking about the events of more than 20 years ago while looking at it.

After about ten or twenty minutes, Lu Ye put down the photo, raised his head to look at Xu Lang, and said: "There should be no similar cases in my memory, and I have not seen similar tattoos." ”

Xu Lang suddenly showed a disappointed expression, but this expression was only fleeting, because he knew that if Lu Ye had seen similar tattoos before, then in Bu Zimo's case, when Wang Hong's body was found, Lu Ye should have remembered it, but Lu Ye didn't feel anything strange about that tattoo at all, if this tattoo hadn't appeared on Shangguan Watson's hand today, Xu Lang didn't think Lu Ye would have noticed this.

"You said before that the skeleton tattoo is not a special mark of the 'Master Chang' organization, but the scorpion tattoo is their mark, why do you say that?" Lu Ye asked.

Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "In the orphanage series of cases, so many people died, although they all had skeleton tattoos on their bodies, which made us think that skeleton tattoos were a special mark of 'Master Chang' from the beginning, but later we all knew that these people who died were not internal members of 'Master Chang', at most they could only be regarded as peripheral members, or were ' Although skull tattoos are very rare on the scalp and are not easy to detect, the skull tattoo is not a mark of the internal members of 'Master Chang', but the scorpion tattoo is. ”

"In the Bu Zimo case, Wang Hong's left hand tiger mouth has a scorpion tattoo, Wang Hong has a nickname called 'Master Chang', and Xu Yi's left hand tiger mouth also has a scorpion tattoo, he is also a member of the 'Master Chang', now, Shangguan Watson's left hand tiger mouth also has a scorpion tattoo, Shangguan Huasheng is the old man of 'Master Chang', and these three people are all members of the 'Master Chang' that we know, they don't have skull tattoos on their bodies, only scorpion tattoos, what does this mean?"

After listening to Xu Lang's explanation, Lu Ye nodded subconsciously, but then he thought of something, so he looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Then whose photo is that in your house?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head, looked at Lu Ye and smiled bitterly: "You have such a good relationship with my father, you don't know, how can I know?" ”

Lu Ye suddenly laughed dumbly, and shook his head helplessly, he knew that Xu Lang was right, more than 20 years ago, how old was Xu Lang? At only four or five years old, what can he know? Thinking of this, Lu Ye fell silent.

After a while, Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang and asked, "He's gone?" ”

Xu Lang was stunned by Lu Ye's question, and he asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”

"Xu Yi."

"Oh, let's go, just yesterday I was in an upset mood and went to the beach to look at the sea, and met him there."

"What are you all talking about?"

"It's nothing, he just told me that he was leaving, and the organization of 'Master Chang' chose to lie dormant because of these things done by Shangguan Huasheng, and 'Master Chang' should not be jumping out to do things in a short period of time."

"What else?"

"He told me that Shangguan Watson appeared, and the orphanage series of cases were all made by Shangguan Watson."

"Isn't he involved?"

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." ”

"How can you be so sure?" Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang with some curiosity and asked.

Xu Lang thought about it, frowned, and said, "I feel that his identity in that organization is a bit special, and it should be different from Wang Hong and Shangguan Huasheng, as for the difference there, I can't say clearly." ”

Xu Lang paused slightly, and continued: "Well, how to say it, I feel like he is like an overseer, the overseer Wang Hong and Shangguan Huasheng are the people who do things, yes, they are overseers." ”

"Overseer?!" Lu Ye repeated, he frowned.

"What did he say besides that?" Lu Ye asked.

Xu Lang's face became a little gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He took Shu Yue away." ”

"Shu Yue? Is that your little girlfriend who has been hidden by you for many years? Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xu Lang nodded.

"What did he take Shu Yue away for? Threatening you? Or is there another purpose? ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "He didn't say it, it's not like it's blackmail, he should have other purposes in doing this." ”

"For what purpose?"

Xu Lang shook his head again and said, "I don't know, but he must have his purpose in taking Shu Yue away." ”

Lu Ye nodded, didn't ask anything more, but stretched out his hand and patted Xu Lang's shoulder, comforting: "Don't think about it so much, if he really has any purpose, he will definitely look for you, since he told you about taking Shu Yue away, I think Shu Yue will be fine in a short time." ”

Xu Lang didn't speak, although he knew that Lu Ye was right, but, Xu Yi took Shu Yue away, Xu Lang's psychology must be very awkward, after all, for Xu Lang, he has no relatives now, Shu Yue is his last relative, for a person who has lost his relatives since childhood, what relatives mean to him, naturally there is no need to say much, but Xu Yi took Shu Yue away, Xu Lang has no good way to solve this problem for the time being, so he is very silent.

Xu Lang shook his head, shook his head, forcibly suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind, he raised his head and looked at Lu Ye and asked, "What about the orphanage series now?" ”

Hearing Xu Lang mention the orphanage series of cases, Lu Ye's face was a little ugly, he sighed and said: "Now that Shangguan Hua is alive and dead, the clues have been broken, and he can only run aground for the time being, and the previous cases have been investigated clearly, and it is estimated that the cases will be closed temporarily." ”

"What about Shangguan Jing?" Xu Lang asked.

Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang and said with a wry smile: "Shangguan Jing and the others are abroad now, and if they want to arrest them, there is some trouble, I will apply to my superiors to let people go to Africa to find Shangguan Jing and others, but"

Speaking of this, Lu Ye stretched out his hand and patted Xu Lang's shoulder and said, "However, don't get your hopes up, after all, Africa is so big, it is probably difficult to find them." ”

"Could it be that so many people died, and the case was closed so hastily? Isn't it too anticlimactic? Xu Lang asked with a gloomy face.

Lu Ye knew what Xu Lang was thinking, and he also knew what Xu Lang was angry about, Xu Lang was not happy, was Lu Ye happy in his heart? Naturally, you are unhappy, but what can you do if you are unhappy? The clues are broken, there is no new progress for the time being, we can only do this for the first time, the conclusion of the case is only temporary, the investigation work will definitely continue, once any new clues and evidence are discovered, the investigation work will definitely continue.

"Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, don't worry, if they can't escape, they will be caught sooner or later." Lu Ye looked at Xu Lang and said so, but he didn't know if this sentence was for Xu Lang or for himself.

The two men fell silent again.

After a while, Lu Ye sighed deeply, raised his head, looked at Xu Lang and said, "Come back, come back and continue to be a policeman." ”

Xu Lang looked at Lu Ye's expectant eyes, he shook his head slowly, and didn't say anything.

For Xu Lang's refusal, there was no surprise to Lu Ye, he knew that although Xu Lang seemed to be a very good talker, this child, like his father in his bones, was a very strong and stubborn person, they would not make a decision easily, but once a decision was made, they would go all the way to the dark, and they would not turn back easily, Lu Ye just asked Xu Lang with a glimmer of hope.

"I guess I'm going to retire early." Lu Ye said in a flat tone, as if he was not talking about his own business, but about other people's affairs.

"You've worked hard for so many years, and it's time to enjoy the blessings." Xu Lang said.

"Yes, I have been sitting in this position as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for too many years, and I have stopped the pace of many young people from rising, and it stands to reason that I should have retired a long time ago to make room for young people, and now this result is also very good." Lu Ye said with a warm smile.

Xu Lang knows very well in his heart why Lu Ye has been staying in the position of director of the General Bureau of Public Security for so many years, he knows that Lu Ye can't let go of Xu Yuan's death, he wants to find out the truth, but more than 20 years have passed, and the case of Zhang Lan and Xu Yuan has already been concluded in the file, but Lu Ye has never believed that Xu Yuan would kill his wife, let alone believe that Xu Yuan, such a strong person, would choose to commit suicide, however, more than 20 years have passed. Lu Ye still didn't investigate anything new, so he was very guilty and disappointed.

Lu Ye stood up, patted Xu Lang on the shoulder and said: "You are now a criminal investigation consultant, and the second criminal investigation team is your previous job, although Ning Yanran is now the captain of the second criminal investigation team, but her experience is still insufficient, you can help her more in the future, don't let her take too many detours, Wu Yong of the first criminal investigation team, although I know that your relationship was not very good before, but I still hope that when he encounters difficulties, you can help him, after all, everyone is for this country and for the people of S City." ”

Xu Lang looked at Lu Ye's eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "I know, I will." ”

"That's good, after I retire, there will definitely not be much to help you, in the future, the truth of many things still needs you to investigate clearly, remember, don't be impatient, take your time, eat bite by bite, things have to be done step by step, I believe in your ability, sooner or later the truth will be investigated clearly."

After Lu Ye finished saying this, he turned around and left the conference room of Nuoda and walked out.

Xu Lang looked at Lu Ye's bleak back and didn't say anything, he knew that the words that Lu Ye said to him today were all in his heart, and Lu Ye was definitely going to retire early, as long as he retired directly or transferred to other positions, Xu Lang didn't know, but Lu Ye would definitely not sit down in the position of director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
