"Then what if Xiao Yang escaped from prison first, then went to Ke Yan's office or killed Ke Yan somewhere else, and then threw him into his cell?" Li Hong guessed.

Yan Junli couldn't help but give Li Hong a roll of his eyes, "Impossible." First of all, the alarm bell will ring immediately after the prisoner escapes, Xiao Yang has no time to commit the crime at all, and he will definitely choose to escape first. Even if he took a step back and the alarm bell didn't ring, Xiao Yang was unlikely to be stupid enough to go to a place full of guards to kill someone. ”

Yang Wenbin nodded and affirmed Yan Junli's statement, "And there is one more point." The cell door has not been broken or breached. ”

Yan Junli and Li Hong glanced at each other.

"Explain?"

"It shows that either someone inside the prison deliberately released him, or Ke Yan himself walked into Xiao Yang's cell." Yang Wenbin calmly analyzed.

Yan Junli sighed, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it's useless not to find Xiao Yang. That guy is a smart guy, and he can't be caught with a wanted warrant. ”

"So that's why we need you back!" Li Hong looked at Yan Junli seriously, "You know it's okay for me to casually deal with things like robbery and fire, but this kind of case is ...... Isn't Dr. Yang coming back too, so you can go to the director and say-"

Yan Junli looked at Yang Wenbin and then at Li Hong, but shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I believe in your ability." Besides, even if we don't go through the police station, I'm sure we can get the case investigated. ”

Yan Jun Li replied like this, and Li Hong couldn't say anything more, so he had to shrug his shoulders and say, "Ah...... Then I'll go back to the police station directly, and I'll send you all the information related to Xiao Yang, hoping to help. ”

"Definitely it can help." Yan Junli patted Li Hong's shoulder, "Go ahead, you have a long way to go." ”

"And now what about us?" Yang Wenbin asked as he watched Li Hong, who was leaving.

"Get in the car." Yan Junli opened the door of his car and sat in, "Let's go and meet the people involved in the case." ”

As expected, Yan Junli drove his black car, and Yang Wenbin sat in the co-pilot's seat and looked at the front window. He thought that Yan Junli didn't seem to like driving a police car, whether it was a police officer or an ordinary investigation, he had that serious expression and a black Volkswagen. If it is the time of the police, the scene is even more spectacular, a black sedan is followed by a group of police cars with flashing police lights, and it is easy to see at a glance who is the boss here.

Of course. Now Yan Junli has no police car to drive.

"Xiao Yang escaped in a hurry, and he was seen by the guards running away to the east side of the prison." Yan Junli said as he drove, "There are not many sheltered buildings in that direction, only a school, a nursing home and a small farm. So one possibility is that he ran away to a deserted place in the suburbs, and one possibility is that someone picked him up and he has fled outside the city. But as far as I know about this person, I don't think the latter is likely. ”

"Why?" Yang Wenbin replied absentmindedly and casually.

"Because Xiao Yang is a weirdo. When we arrested him five years ago, he was a college student. Yan Junli said, "When we found him, he was sitting alone on the bed board of the dormitory, his hair was messy like hemp rope, his face was dirty, and his eyes were staring straight at us. It was at that time that we believed that such a boy was really the murderer of a serial murder case. Xiao Yang has no friends at school, and because no one wants to live with him, even the dormitory lives alone. He lost his father at a young age, and his mother treated him badly. The profiler in the bureau analyzed that Xiao Yang picked those unmarried young women, perhaps out of extreme motherhood. ”

"Well, of course." Yang Wenbin responded.

"So I think we can visit Xiao Yang's former classmates, as well as his mother, and there should be some gains...... Yang Wenbin. Yan Junli stopped in the middle of speaking and called his partner's name.

"Well, what's wrong?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"You're not listening to me at all." Yan Junli sighed, "I think you have something to ask me, just ask." ”

"Why don't you go back and be the head of the criminal investigation team?" Yang Wenbin finally asked the question.

"Because I don't think you have figured it out yet." Yan Junli said calmly.

"I've already come back to investigate the case, what do you want me to do?" Yang Wenbin said dissatisfied.

"Calm down, I know." Yan Junli was a little helpless, "Listen, I understand you, so you don't have to...... Pretending you're okay for my sake. You agreed to take this case not because you wanted to, but for the little girl. ”

"And I don't want to delay you." Yang Wenbin admitted, closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat, "But you are so stubborn, what else can I say?" ”

"Why?" Yan Junli asked, without much explanation, Yang Wenbin also understood what he was asking.

"Because I'm starting to wonder if what we're doing is right or wrong." Yang Wenbin said calmly, "Yes, that's right. We solved a lot of cases and saved some lives, but the clown also targeted us because of this, and we lost more lives. There are even some people I am not sure if they are really worth saving, and those who are victims are themselves the most heinous people......"

"But you can't put human life on the scales like a bargaining chip!" Yan Junli insisted, "No, this is not right. Listen, both the victims and the criminals are human beings like us, not just a mass of flesh and blood. Human life has no value, because when a person is killed, he dies. No matter how heinous a person may seem, at least you must admit that his life is as fragile as we are. ”

Yang Wenbin listened to Yan Junli's words in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You doubt yourself because you're kind." Yan Junli smiled.

“…… I'm not kind. Yang Wenbin immediately retorted.

"Of course you are kind. Otherwise, you won't change your decision because of a child's tears. Yan Junli said casually, but in a few words he very sharply exposed Yang Wenbin's cover-up, "Seriously, I'm the one who is not kind, I have killed people and sold drugs, but I have always believed in one thing." ”

"I believe that all people can be redeemed." Yan Junli said softly.

————————————————————————————

"Xiao Yang?"

Shake your head vigorously.

"I'm sorry, I don't know him, I'm sorry. I still have something to ......."

"Not very familiar. But knowing that he is a terrible person. ”

"The serial murderer? I know, I've met him a few times, and he's a demon. ”

"He fled! Did he run away? Oh my God, it's horrible! I don't want to die yet! ”

"It seems that people have an unusual fear of Xiao Yang." Yang Wenbin muttered, picked up the pen and crossed out another name in the notebook.

"If you had been there five years ago, you would have understood why these people were so afraid of the murderer." Yan Junli crossed his arms and scanned the surroundings, looking for possible witnesses, "At that time, City C was in panic and haze for two whole months, and people didn't dare to go out at night, and the streets were deserted. ”

"Yes, I still can't believe that Xiao Yang will be the murderer of that terrible case."

Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli looked back together, and it was a middle-aged woman who spoke, with her hair coiled, wearing a professional suit, and holding a few books in her hands, which looked like teaching materials.

"Do you know Xiao Yang?" Yang Wenbin asked.

The woman nodded and said gently, "Yes, he used to be my student. ”

"Can you tell us a little bit about him?" Yan Junli immediately asked, and when he received the woman's suspicious look, he explained, "Oh, we are newspaper reporters, and we want to do a special issue about the escaped prisoner Xiao Yang. ”

"Then you'd better be careful when writing news, because it's a sensitive issue." The woman shook her head, but still opened the conversation, "I turned out to be the head teacher of Xiao Yang's class. He's a weird kid, and it's true that he doesn't have any friends, but I don't think he's a bad boy. He often skips classes and doesn't go to classes he doesn't like, but as long as it's mine, I've never seen him absent. I taught literature appreciation, and that kid always loved to write. Once he showed me a poem he had written, and I remember two of the lines in it: 'The opaque wings of the bat skimmed my dreams, and the mother's face melted into the confused night.' I complimented him on his work, and he smiled happily. ”

It took Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin nearly half a day to investigate these so-called "people related to the case", and although there was some useful information in them, most of them were either useless or nonsense when they heard it. By the time they got back into the car, they were tired.

"Look, if you're still the captain of the criminal police, we won't have to do this kind of troublesome work at all." Yang Wenbin picked up the water bottle in the car and took a big sip.

Yan Junli waved his hand weakly, "Okay, I won't refute this, you're right." But now we are at most two good little citizens, and we can only use this detective investigation method to investigate one by one. ”

"Okay, look at the reason you said so high-soundingly, what is it said that I am afraid that I can't figure it out clearly, in fact, you can't pull down your own to tell the director about the reinstatement, right?" Yang Wenbin rolled his eyes.

Yan Junli's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, "Hey, I'm kind enough to think about you, how did you fall into the well?" Of course I can't be because—"
