At the end of the meeting, all the personnel were evacuated, and only Xu Zhuo and Yuan Zhen were left in the huge conference room to deal with the follow-up work.

Xu Zhuo saw that the people were finished, and then his body and mind relaxed, and his whole arm put on Yuan Zhen's shoulder and said, "Hazelnut, you did well just now!" It's nice to say it for so long without breathing! ”

Yuan Zhen silently sorted out the documents in his hand, ignored Xu Zhuo, and immediately returned to his nature after the meeting, and said one less word if he could.

Xu Zhuo was bored with himself, but he was already familiar with Yuan Zhen's temperament, so he didn't care, just said to himself: "You say, this case is so complicated, and it also involves an international gang, with Interpol here, will you let us take over?" ”

Yuan Zhen stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Xu Zhuo and said seriously: "The four corpses that have been fished up now are all citizens of our country, and the above will definitely let us continue to investigate until the gang is completely wiped out." ”

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, the citizens of our country can't die in vain!" ”

……

……

City A, Detention Center.

This is the first time Zhou Xingzhi has come to him after Li Yi refused to defend last time, but this time, he came with a sad face.

Li Yi was a little surprised, in his impression, Zhou Xingzhi has always been a suit and leather shoes, a typical image of an elite lawyer, but this will be full of sadness, as if he has suffered a great blow.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Xingzhi looked at Li Yi with a tangled face, and he said, "Mr. Li, since you can also see it, then I will tell you the truth, Ran Zhi is missing." ”

"Missing!" Li Yi frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xingzhi licked his lips and said: "During this time, Ran Zhi's mood has been bad, so she often asks me to drink with her, but two days ago, I suddenly couldn't contact her, her home, the bar she frequented was not found, and the phone has not been able to get through, so I want to ask you, between the two of you...... Are there any places to share memories? Will she go to places you know well? ”

Li Yi frowned, then shook his head and said, "No, but you can go find someone named Jin Shuo, and he may contact Ran Zhi." ”

Zhou Xingzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I know Doctor Jin, I looked for him, but the hospital said that he was on leave five days ago, and his phone couldn't get through, I even asked for the address to go to his home, but I didn't find anyone, so I was so worried, the two of them disappeared together, no matter how you look at it, it feels wrong, so I will come to you in a hurry." ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Ran Zhi is not the kind of girl who will deliberately disappear, maybe she has something to delay, if she and Jin Shuo disappear at the same time...... Maybe the two of them went back to Rongcheng, before, they both came out of the Rongcheng orphanage, maybe they went back together......"

Zhou Xingzhi frowned, he looked at Li Yi with a complicated expression, including anger, jealousy, envy, pity, sympathy and self-deprecation.

"Mr. Li, I will go to Rongcheng to look for them, but I also hope that you can think about it carefully, where else will she go besides Rongcheng? After all, according to my understanding of Ran Zhi, if it was just Rong Cheng, she wouldn't have been turned off and disappeared. ”

Li Yi lowered his eyes, he knew, he also understood, but what could he do?

"To tell you the truth, I don't know where she will go except for Rong Cheng."

"You ......" The anger in Zhou Xingzhi's eyes was about to erupt, and he said angrily: "Ran Zhi likes you so much, but you don't even know where she will go when she is sad, she is really blind!" ”

"Sad? Saddened? ”

"You directly rejected my defense, which means that you gave up the opportunity to reduce the sentence, and also gave up her, how can she not be sad and sad?"

Li Yi frowned, he looked at Zhou Xingzhi rather strangely, and asked, "Didn't you tell her to let her wait for me outside?" ”

“……”

Zhou Xingzhi was breathless, he really forgot it! At first, it was intentional, but then it was really forgotten as if it were self-deception.

Li Yi was stunned and asked, "Do you like Ran Zhi?" ”

Zhou Xingzhi pursed his lips and said: "She is so beautiful and loves a girl who loves one person, no one can resist her temptation." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" In fact, I really hope to see Ran Zhi find someone he likes and live a good life. ”

Zhou Xingzhi said strangely: "Don't you like her?" ”

Li Yi shook his head and didn't answer Zhou Xingzhi's question, he turned to say: "After you go out for a while, go directly to Rongcheng to find her, and keep contacting her during the period, if you haven't found it tomorrow morning, or haven't contacted her and Jin Shuo, then come back to me, and we'll figure it out together." ”

Jin Shuo frowned and looked at Li Yi, he probably knew why Ran Zhi liked the man in front of him, he was calm and indifferent, even if he was in prison clothes and shackles in the detention center, even if he knew what kind of future he was about to face, he was still not arrogant or impatient, this kind of honesty and indifference was indeed very rare.

"Mr. Li, there are not a few days left before the trial, are you not in a hurry? If you regret it now, I can still defend you. ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this first, let's go find Ran Zhi!" Remember to come tomorrow to tell me the results, it's not too early, don't delay any longer. ”

Zhou Xingzhi looked at Li Yi for a long time before nodding silently and leaving.

……

When Feng Yuan received Du Xuelin's call to the police, he was watching the news on the Internet.

Two bodies were salvaged from the beach in Jianghai City again, and it was the fourth body in the past two months, but the police have not been able to give a reasonable explanation.

Just as the mess in Feng Yuan's mind was gathering, a phone call came to the police station and told him that Liu Dandan was missing.

The underage girl went missing for no reason, this is a small case that the police station can handle, and there is no need for the criminal investigation detachment to go out, but more important than the underage girl is lost, this girl had a big quarrel with her parents before her disappearance, and pushed her mother by mistake, and hit the back of her head against the wall.

This case may be selected as one of the top 10 family ethics cases of the year.

When Feng Yuan and Lu Zhong arrived at Anrui Community, Du Xuelin was setting up a platform under Building 10, and all the surrounding areas were covered with white, and it seemed that he had already begun to prepare for the future. Feng Yuan frowned, this person has been dead for a few days, and the corpse has not yet cooled down, this is too fast!

Lu Zhong glanced at the person, pointed to Feng Yuan, the two stepped forward together, Lu Zhong said: "Mr. Du, hello, we are from the criminal police team, and we just received a call to the police, saying that your daughter Liu Dandan was lost."

traced, so I came to investigate the situation. ”

Du Xuelin wears glasses, with white tied to his arms, and the whole person looks depressed, too, the middle-aged wife is lost, and the daughter is missing, everyone has to peel off their skin.

He said: "Yes, Dandan's mother died suddenly, and I was going to organize a funeral for her, but the child has not come back since he was lost for no reason that day, and I can't contact him, but I have been busy and have no time to find it, so I called the police station and wanted to ask them to help find it, but I didn't expect to alarm the criminal police team." ”

Feng Yuan nodded and said, "The missing person is not under our control, but the following is said to be dead, and it happens to be someone I know, so I came over to take a look in person, can we go up and talk about it?" ”

Du Xuelin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go over and explain, and we'll go up and talk." ”

Feng Yuan and Lu Zhong stood in place, watching Du Xuelin trot over and talk to the person in charge for a few words, and arrange things clearly, before coming over to take them upstairs.

Although it was white downstairs, it seemed that Du Xuelin wanted to do a good job of the funeral for Liu Yan, but the house upstairs did not move at all, if they hadn't come up from below just now, they really couldn't see that there were dead people here.

Du Xuelin beckoned the two to sit on the sofa, helped the two of them get water, and then sat on the main single sofa in front of them, put his hand on the edge of the sofa, and quarreled with Liu Dandan and Liu Yan that day, and pushed the rumors to hit the wall, and then slowly said the matter of running away from home.

"Two police officers, that's the way it is, that child often quarrels with the family, and that day he accidentally injured Yan Yan, maybe he was scared for a while so he fled, Yan Yan's death is something we didn't expect, and the child must not know that her mother is dead now, so I want to contact her as soon as possible, and I can't let her even miss the funeral!"

After listening to Du Xuelin's words, Feng Yuan frowned and pondered.

Lu Zhong looked around, and he asked, "Mr. Du, even so, it has only been three days since Ms. Liu passed away, so there is no need to prepare for the funeral so soon!" Presumably, the body has not yet been cremated, so this is a bit too hasty. ”

Feng Yuan's eyes fell on Du Xuelin's face, watching his face stiffen for another moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

Du Xuelin said: "The crematorium has been contacted, and her body will be sent to cremation early tomorrow morning, which does not conflict with the funeral, I just think that Yan Yan was such a face-loving person when she was alive, she is not here now, I must do a good job for her funeral, I can only do so much for her, if I hold Dandan that day and persuade them not to quarrel, maybe things will not be like this." ”

As he spoke, Du Xuelin's eyes turned red, he took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, wiping away the overflowing tears.

"It's not your fault." Feng Yuan rarely said a comforting word, and when he saw Du Xuelin nodded, he said again: "Can I go to Dandan's room to have a look?" ”

Du Xuelin frowned: "This ......"

Feng Yuan said with a smile: "Just go and take a look, I want to know about Dandan's usual hobbies, and by the way, take a look at the scene of the crime, Mr. Du, can't you?" ”

"Oh! No. Du Xuelin hurriedly came back to his senses and explained: "It's just that Dandan, this kid doesn't like others to enter her room, and her mother and I will be scolded when we go in occasionally, but since you want to see it, let's go in and have a look!" The kid wasn't there anyway. ”

With that, he got up from the sofa and made an inviting gesture, ready to take the two to the scene of the crime.

Feng Yuan nodded, and Lu Zhong followed closely behind.
