Zhao Qi frantically dialed Lin Yuan's mobile phone number, listening to the busy sound in the mobile phone, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Lin Yuan's luggage was still in the house, and if he wanted to leave, it was impossible for him to leave these things behind.

Zhao Changhui saw Zhao Qi's unyielding appearance and persuaded him: "Don't worry if it's okay, he's such a big person, he can walk back by asking for directions." ”

There was no contact with anyone all day, and Lin Yuan seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Knowing that the big money owner was leaving tomorrow, Zhao's mother sat on another table of dishes, but no one moved the chopsticks.

The atmosphere was very weird, Zhao's mother didn't sit or stand, so she had to turn around and leave, and suddenly turned around and said, "That kid won't be scared away, right?" ”

Zhao Qi raised his head and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" ”

"This morning, I told her about Xiaoqing's death, you live in Xiaoqing's house, I saw that his expression was wrong at that time, could it be that this incident scared him away?" Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Changhui again as she spoke, and her emotions suddenly became excited: "Look at you!" Why do you have to lie to people! I'm scared away, if something happens, can you afford it? ”

"Mom!" Zhao Changhui slammed his chopsticks on the ground and yelled: "Can you blame me for this!" I don't lie to them, do they dare to live in that house? Where else can we live! ”

Zhao Qi suppressed his shock, thought calmly, and said, "Auntie, don't blame him, it is impossible to scare Lin Yuan away from this matter, although he is timid, he is not so small." ”

"Liu Haowen, you say something."

"Ah...... Yes? Oh, I don't think Brother Hui is to blame for this, let's wait, if there is no news tomorrow, it means that he has really gone home. ”

After Liu Haowen finished speaking, he bent down to pick up chopsticks, and the moment the table covered his head, he closed his eyes, as if to erase something hidden in his eyes.

"Don't wait all night, in my opinion, call the police now, let the police find it, I don't believe he died outside." Zhao Qi glanced at his phone, the time was eight o'clock in the evening, the ninth hour since Lin Yuan lost contact.

"No...... Not. Liu Haowen said: "He is such a big person must have his own ideas, and he called the police after only a few hours when he couldn't find anyone, and the police are so busy that they don't necessarily file a case, right?" ”

"I'm moving out of my dad's reputation, I'll see if they find it for me!" Zhao Qi slapped the table angrily.

Zhao Changhui said: "This is Hebei. ”

"! It's not worry-free! ”

Liu Haowen took a sip of white rice, the six dishes on the table were slowly steaming, and in the middle was the hen that Zhao Changhui had just pressed down at noon, and there was a thick layer of oil floating on the surface of the chicken soup.

"How did Xiaoqing die?" Zhao Qi was lying on the chair and suddenly asked.

"Rape and murder." Zhao Changhui replied.

"How long?"

"Two years."

"Rape and murder, rape and murder...... What the are you lying to me for! When I'm timid? Zhao Qi was furious, slammed the door and left.

With a white ceiling in front of him, the sheets and quilts were white, Lin Yuan thought he had come to heaven.

His lips were dry and cracked, and Lin Yuan struggled to drink water.

His head hurt and he was dizzy, and Lin Yuan wanted to vomit in disgust, so he could only continue to close his eyes and not look at anything.

The nurse looked at Lin Yuan who woke up in surprise, and hurriedly turned around and went out to call someone, it was not a doctor who called, it was a policeman, he came in with a glass of water, and gently closed the door.

The policeman gently picked up Lin Yuan and poured the water from the cup into Lin Yuan's mouth little by little, as gentle as a mother holding her child.

Feeling a lot better, Lin Yuan tried to open his eyes, and what he saw was a male police officer with a gentle face.

He gently put Lin Yuan down again, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "How do you feel?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Dizziness, it hurts." ”

After speaking, he added: "It's very uncomfortable in the lungs." ”

The policeman smiled mildly and said, "It's okay, you'll recover soon." “

"Can you answer the question now? If you don't feel good, don't force it, I'll come back when you're feeling better. ”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, then opened them, and said, "Yes." ”

"Great!" The policeman gave him a thumbs up, opened the notebook, and asked, "Do you remember what happened?" “

Lin Yuan tried hard to recall, his mind was like a mess, the policeman waited silently, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, think about it slowly, it's okay if you can't remember." “

"What's your name, for a simpler question?"

"Lin Yuan."

"What relatives do you have at home, and where do you live?"

"There's an uncle who's a police officer like you lives in ...... Live in Zhengzhou. ”

"Living in Zhengzhou?" The policeman raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing in Hebei?" ”

"With two friends, play with classmates."

"Where do your fellow students live? What is your name? ”

"His name is ......" Lin Yuan was silent for a while, and then spoke: "His name is Zhao Changhui, and he lives in ....... I forgot. ”

The policeman grasped the key point, stood up, and said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, you have a good rest first, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Lin Yuan looked out the window, trying to recall the events of that day in his mind.

The police left, and the nurse entered the door again, and asked kindly, "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”

Lin Yuan didn't answer, turned his head and asked, "Sister, how did I get here?" “

The nurse touched Lin Yuan's forehead, and the temperature was still high.

"Fished up from the river, kid, who did you provoke, so ruthless." The nurse's beautiful brow twisted into a line, and said, "If it weren't for someone diving in the river that day, you would have died." ”

"Caught in the river?" Lin Yuan was scared, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"Isn't it?" The nurse adjusted the instrument, turned around and said: "The water in the river is fast, and when I found you, you were wrapped in a rope under your feet, and the police officer said that the stone wrapped under the rope was loosened, and the water rushed you to a place where there were people, otherwise, the gods would not be able to save you." ”

The policeman who questioned him walked out of the hospital gate, and a police car was parked outside.

The policewoman stuck her head out of the driver's seat and said solemnly, "Team Wu, did you ask something?" ”

Officer Wu nodded, got into the passenger seat, lit a cigarette for himself, and fixed his eyes on the name on the notebook.

Zhao Changhui ...... Zhao ......" He muttered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiao Wang, do you remember the rape and murder case two years ago?" The deceased's brother was named Zhao Changhui. ”

The policewoman nodded and said, "Remember, the case hasn't been solved yet." How? Something to do with him? ”

Officer Wu nodded and said, "He said he came to play with his classmates, and his classmate's name was Zhao Changhui." ”

"At that time, the deceased also drowned, the body soaked in no form before it floated up, the lower body was stuffed with bait, and even the ** was almost eaten by the fish, and the key evidence was destroyed...... Oh yes, I've compared the ropes tied to the soles of their feet, and the technique is the same. ”

"This Zhao Changhui is the breakthrough, even if there is no direct reason with him, there must be indirect reasons, and his case can be solved if he is found." Officer Wu snuffed out the cigarette and stuffed it into the car ashtray, and his voice was loud: "Drive!" Go to Zhao Changhui, do you remember the place? “

The policewoman had a set of actions, the car started, she put the steering wheel, stared at the front without anger, and said: "I went there no less than 20 times, and I can't forget it in this life." “

Rumors spread throughout the village that a child who had come to play in the village seemed to be missing, and several women were talking about it with a calm face outside, and one said, "I heard that the child seems to have been killed!" ”

"Wouldn't it? We grew up in this village when we were young, we are a little poor, but our hearts are not bad! Whoever would do such a thing that destroys the conscience, don't talk nonsense, beware of the evil that comes out of your mouth. ”

"Alas!" The woman looked left and right and said cautiously, "Have you forgotten the first two years?" I've heard that the person who killed Xiaoqing hasn't been caught until now! ”

"Could it be the same person? It's terrible, it's terrible, what kind of thing that doesn't have a human heart to do it? ”

"How do I know that...... Eh, I'm confused, eh, I'm really bad, I'm not telling you. ”

"It's not been peaceful lately, so I don't go out much."

Several women dispersed in a hurry, and it was time to cook and go home.

In the old house next to him, a white-haired old man knocked on a crutch and stood by the bed vigorously and shouted: "Get up, big grandson!" Hurry up and help your grandma cook! ”

The little boy covered his head with a quilt, drenched in sweat, and no matter how much the old man shouted, he couldn't get up, and he didn't even say a word.

"Sick grandson?" The old man was distressed and wanted to reach out to pull the quilt away, but before he touched it, he heard a voice from the quilt: "Grandpa, I'm fine, I won't eat at noon today, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." “

Suddenly a siren sounded outside, and the little boy pulled the summer cool quilt and wrapped himself more tightly.

The old man turned to look at the police car driving outside, and muttered, "What's the matter?" ”

Officer Wang quietly turned off the siren, parked the car at the gate of an uninhabited village, and walked to Zhao Changhui's house on foot. ”

The policewoman smiled and led the way.

Zhao Qi had just finished broadcasting the police call, and after describing it in a few words, he saw the two policemen coming in from the door, and couldn't help but sigh: "The current police are so efficient?"

Officer Wu knocked on the door and said, "Is Zhao Changhui at home, let's find out about the situation." ”

Mother Zhao came out of the kitchen, smiled timidly, beckoned the two policemen to sit down in the courtyard, turned around and went into the house to pour water.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, Zhao Changhui walked out of the kitchen on her back foot, clapped her hands, and said, "Hello police uncle and police sister, meet again." “

Officer Wu politely took the water, went straight to the point, and asked, "Do you recognize Lin Yuan?" ”

"Acquaintance." Zhao Changhui nodded, Zhao Qi rushed out of the house and said, "You guys came too timely, my friend has been missing from noon yesterday until now, and he doesn't answer the phone, ...... with him It's like the world has evaporated, you can help me find it, I'm in a hurry to go home. ”

Officer Wu nodded, put on a smile, and said, "That's what we're here for." ”

"Lin Yuan was knocked unconscious, had stones tied to his feet, and threw him into the river."

Zhao Qi was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked, "How are the others?" What about people? People don't die, do they? ”

Officer Wu said softly: "You don't need to worry, he is not dead, he was sent to the hospital." When he said this, he stared at Zhao Changhui's face.

Officer Wang was taking notes next to him, and he didn't raise his head.

Zhao Changhui met his gaze, the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was holding back his anger, he clenched his fists and asked, "Who did it?" ”

Officer Wu lowered his head slightly and took a sip of water, and said: "I haven't found it yet, the person has just woken up, and many things can't be asked, and the only thing that can be remembered is your name, this matter is too strange, and it is all related to you, so I came over to understand the situation." ”

"By the way, that person's method of murdering Lin Yuan is probably the same as that of your sister back then."

Zhao Changhui closed his eyes in pain and said in a trembling voice: "Who did it?" ”

Officer Wu sighed and said, "Don't worry, think about who you have offended." ”

Zhao Qi interjected: "He is righteous, how can he offend anyone?" Which hospital is Lin Yuan in? I'll have to go see him. ”

Officer Wu didn't answer, waiting for Zhao Changhui to speak.

He suddenly remembered the two friends Lin Yuan said, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be another person who didn't come out?" ”

"Oh, yes." Zhao Qi turned around and shouted: "Liu Haowen, come out quickly, the police officer wants to ask you." ”

"What...... What's wrong? Liu Haowen poked his head out of the room when he heard the sound, straightened his appearance, and then walked out with his head held high, almost tripping over the threshold.

Officer Wu smiled slightly and said, "No hurry." ”

Liu Haowen smiled awkwardly, sat down on a wooden bench, and subconsciously approached Zhao Changhui.

"What do you want to ask, officer?" Liu Haowen said: "I know everything. ”

Officer Wu tapped the table and said, "I'll ask you this question, don't interfere with the others." ”

"Were you with Lin Yuan yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, let's go swimming in the river at the entrance of the village, and many people have seen it." Liu Haowen hurriedly replied.

"When did Lin Yuan disappear in front of you?" Officer Wu whispered a word to the policewoman, and then continued to stare into Liu Haowen's eyes.

"Probably...... It's about half past ten, I don't remember exactly, but it was probably this time. “

"Why did you leave?"

"Zhao Qi and I were swimming below, Lin Yuan didn't dare to go into the water, and Brother Hui said that he was going to get him a swimming ring."

And then ...... Then Brother Hui didn't come back for a long time, so I said let Lin Yuan go and see, he entered the forest, and then I never saw him again. ”

"That's about it." Liu Haowen tightened his legs, rubbed his hands back and forth, and waited intently to answer the next question.

Officer Wu nodded, and asked Zhao Changhui again: "You first answer where you went at that time and why you haven't come back for a long time." ”

Zhao Changhui didn't think about it, and said: "The swimming ring was taken away, I went to look for it, and found it at Xiaodou's house, their family can testify to me, and when I came back, I heard that Lin Yuan was gone." And also...... I can't remember anyone I've offended. ”

"It's okay, I see." Officer Wu said, "I'll be here today, and I'll come back another day." ”

Officer Wang closed the notebook, and finally said a sentence before leaving: "We may come again tomorrow, you people don't leave in a hurry, please cooperate until the suspicion is completely eliminated." ”

"By the way, Lin Yuan's current situation is not very good, I suggest that you don't visit for the time being, and we'll talk about it later."

After Officer Wu finished speaking, he left with Officer Wang, and Zhao Qi beat his chest: "Damn, I was grounded for the first time in my life!" ”

"Who would be so ruthless to Lin Yuan? It's a fucking naked killing. Zhao Qi turned his head to Zhao Changhui, who was stunned, and said, "Zhao Fatzi, who have you offended?" Such a big feud, such a big grudge? ”
