Chapter 22: A shoe is found
Lu Xuyu quietly walked around the policemen who were staggering and sleeping like dead pigs, walked out of the house, and gently closed the door. She took a cup of hot water and stood in the courtyard holding it and drinking it.
That night, she had only slept for more than two hours on and off, and now her legs were heavy as if they were tied with lead bars, and her head was swollen and painful, and she had no strength at all. She is not a night owl who is good at staying up late, she usually has a very regular schedule, except for the college entrance examination that year, she has never fought so hard last night, and now it seems that staying up late and working overtime in the future is commonplace.
Lu Xuyu suddenly remembered Liao Yan's words, he said that he was going to the lake to find it today, she looked thoughtfully in the direction of the lake, and after a moment, she put down the water cup and walked towards the lake.
The park is very quiet in the early morning, and only a few crickets can be heard occasionally. The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and the scent of grass mixed with earth is refreshing.
Lu Xuyu stretched out his arms as he walked, stretching his tendons and twisting his waist. This is the first time she has come to the park so early, and there is no one else, it feels like she is in her own back garden, no wonder the aunts and uncles like to get up early in the park to exercise, maybe just enjoy this feeling of exclusivity.
When she came to the lake, she saw that the water on the lake was steaming, the breeze was blowing, the reeds were rustling, and there were occasionally a few frogs calling from among the lotus leaves, a quiet and peaceful scene.
Lu Xuyu walked slowly along the edge of the lake, carefully observing the movement in the lake. Liao Yan said that it was not found on the mountain, and if the body was dumped, the lake would also be a suitable choice. From the night of the 4th to now, two full days have passed, and it rained so heavily yesterday, plus the shelter of lotus leaves and reeds, if Yu Weiwei is really in the lake, I am afraid it will not be easy to be found.
She suddenly remembered that Zhao Yubin said yesterday that the lake will be full of lotus flowers in July and August, and the reeds can grow to more than two meters high.
Suddenly, a bird flew into the lake from Lu Xuyu's side, as if it was some kind of guidance in the dark, she looked in the direction where the bird flew, the bird skimmed the lotus leaf, and jumped into the water, this kind of bird is rarely seen, Lu Xuyu took out his mobile phone and took a picture, wanting to use his mobile phone to check what kind of bird this is, when she enlarged the photo, she was stunned to find that the bird was stepping on like a shoe.
Lu Xuyu covered his mouth and screamed, and hurriedly called Liao Yan. In just ten minutes, the security guard drove the battery car to the lake, and before the car stopped, Liao Yan jumped out of the car.
"Where's the shoes?"
Lu Xuyu pointed to the lake, where the birds were jumping around just now, and the lake was so startled by it that it swayed, and a white shoe loomed.
Liao Yan found a branch from the bushes next to him, but he was too far away to reach his shoes, so he said to the security guard, "People who are looking for you, find a way to get the shoes up, quickly!" ”
Liao Yan stood quietly with his hands on his waist and facing the lake, as if he was thinking about something and waiting for something. Lu Xuyu looked at his back, and inexplicably remembered another person, she could see that Liao Yan was like having eyes on her back, feeling that someone was staring at her, and suddenly turned around and met Lu Xuyu's eyes that she didn't have time to dodge.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "We searched all night and found nothing, I didn't expect you to wander around and really find a clue, but it's a pity that it's just a shoe." He looked at Lu Xuyu's pale face and said, "Look at your face is white, I said that girls are not suitable to be criminal policemen, and you are still not convinced." ”
I was born with a white face! It's not scary!
Lu Xuyu glanced at him, and pretended to walk to the lake as if nothing happened, "Yu Weiwei may be in the lake." ”
"Wait until the shoes are fished up, and let his boyfriend see if it's hers, maybe it was accidentally dropped by tourists."
"Don't you go to the park and drop your shoes? Walking back barefoot? Lu Xuyu glanced at him like an idiot.
Liao Yan grinned, "Our shoes have fallen off, if you don't want them, they won't be needed, they're not worth anything anyway." As he spoke, he looked down at Lu Xuyu's expensive shoes, "Your shoes have fallen, and you have to hire someone to catch them, tens of thousands." ”
Lu Xuyu looked at his half-human, half-beast face expressionlessly, thinking that she shouldn't have kicked him in the face yesterday, she should have kicked him in the mouth, and the world would be quiet if she kicked crookedly.
The security guard was quite able to figure it out, he looked for a double landscape boat, and a small policeman got off the boat with him, rowed to the middle of the lake and fished up his shoes.
"See if there's anything else around?" Liao Yan shouted on the shore.
The little policeman picked up the surrounding aquatic plants and lotus leaves and looked at them, and poked them into the water with a branch, but found nothing. They rowed to the shore and handed their shoes to Liao Yan.
Liao Yan took out a pair of disposable gloves from his trouser pocket and put them on, picked up the shoe boy and looked through it carefully, "This shoe is a hit in the past two years, No. 36, women's model." ”
He took out his mobile phone to take a few photos and dialed the phone, "Lao Huang, I found a shoe in the park lake, you call Yu Weiwei's boyfriend, ask him to come to the bureau to confirm whether it is Yu Weiwei's, and reply to me as soon as possible." ”
Lian Hua came over and said: "Brother Liao, I asked about sanitation just now, and he said that there are too many aquatic plants in this lake, and if people fall into it, they will not be able to find it for a while, and it is likely to be entangled in underwater aquatic plants." ”
"What then?"
"Either drain the lake or go into a net to fish, but there are too many aquatic weeds, and it is very difficult."
Liao Yan raised his hand and rubbed his chin, thought for a while and asked, "How many days will it take to drain the lake water?" ”
"Four or five days."
"No, let's go to the net."
"It takes time and effort to fish in the net, and it is clear at a glance to drain the lake water, why choose a stupid method?" Lu Xuyu couldn't help but ask.
"In order to find people, not to destroy the ecology, drain the water, what about the animals and plants in the lake? If she was really in the lake, wouldn't we be able to find her? It's just a matter of time. ”
In less than an hour, Lao Huang replied, and after Yu Weiwei's boyfriend saw the photo, he confirmed that the shoe belonged to Yu Weiwei.
"In other words, Yu Weiwei is more likely to be in the lake?" Lu Xuyu asked.
Liao Yan nodded, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and squatted by the lake to smoke silently. The water of the lake has risen a lot due to the rainfall, and it is already close to the shore, and Liao Yan can see his reflection as soon as he looks down.
At this time, Zhao Yubin called, "The location of the suspect Liu Yongzhu has been basically locked, and if it goes well, he will be arrested in half a day." ”
This is the most exciting news so far, Liao Yan flicked the cigarette butt into the lake, stood up and said to everyone: "Zhao Yubin's side already has eyebrows, and we can't show weakness here, try to find Yu Weiwei before arresting the suspect, leave two people on the shore for a while, and everyone else will get off the boat for me to find someone." ”
Liao Yan looked back at Lu Xuyu and smiled strangely at her, Lu Xuyu immediately became vigilant, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Really!
The unlucky man took out a hundred dollars and said to her, "Go buy some breakfast for everyone, just flatbread and eggs!" Don't bring me the full Manchu table! ”
Lu Xuyu glared at him fiercely, dragged the money from his hand, and turned to leave.
