Chapter 10 Hexagrams
"Are you sure?"
Lao Ding glanced at the map again: "These places are not small, should you have to hexagram again?" ”
I shook my head: "Uncle Ding, although you arrange someone to find it, I'll figure it out here, don't worry, the result will come out tomorrow." ”
"But tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, our case will be handed over, Gu Man is the direct person in charge of this case, and she will be present."
"This group of people is so mad that they dare to fight even the idea of the police? Eat the bear's heart and leopard gall! ”
The corners of Lao Ding's mouth twitched a little, "Zhang Yao, although your method is not evidenced by scientific evidence, I know that some things cannot be scientifically proven, not necessarily unscientific." So I believe in you, no matter what, you have to do your best in Gu Man's affairs, Gu Man, this child is pitiful since he was a child, his father is my old comrade-in-arms, he died early, and he has been dependent on her mother since he was a child...... If something happens to her, not only will I not be able to explain to the organization, but I will not have the face to face her dead father! ”
"Uncle Ding, don't worry, I will do my best in this matter."
Lao Ding looked at me for a long time, and finally nodded.
That night, all the comrades in the bureau who were free were arranged by Lao Ding to go out for investigation, and I was not surprised.
The comrades who were sent out didn't even know what was going on, and they were only ordered to go to the marked areas to search for Gu Man's whereabouts.
And the search task I picked up from Lao Ding is about the size that a team can complete in two days, if I also use a carpet search, it will take too much time, and Gu Man's side will be in danger.
So I brought the compass and the nothing card my grandfather had given me.
The Nothing card was given to Gu Man by his grandfather, although the two have not yet been related, but the appearance on the Nothing Card can match Gu Man.
To put it bluntly, there is a certain bond between the green dragon potential on Gu Man's body and the clouds and water on the Wushi card, and once the distance between the two begins to approach, the compass will give guidance.
In this way, I drove hundreds of kilometers overnight to search three places, but most of them did nothing.
As for the reservoir, I also went there, but I didn't find any trace of Gu Man.
Until the next morning, there was still no progress in the search, and Lao Ding called me to inquire about the situation.
"Xiao Zhang, it's been all night, I should let my comrades go back to rest, are you really sure that hexagram is accurate?"
Conducting such a large-scale carpet search without any evidence would not have a good impact on Lao Ding, and he always had to give a convincing reason.
At that time, it can't be said that it's because Xiao Zhang in the archives has calculated a hexagram, right?
"Uncle Ding, in this way, you should change shifts over there, let the comrades who searched all night go back to rest first, and I will ask someone to find them here."
Listening to my firm tone, Lao Ding didn't say anything else, but only asked me again if the hexagram was really accurate? I nodded, and only said one word.
"Okay, I trust you."
After speaking, Lao Ding hung up the phone.
I looked at the map, and the overnight search also made me a little exhausted, but after thinking about it, I still chose to dial Zhao Youfa's phone.
Zhao Youfa was very excited to receive my call, took the initiative to say hello to me, and explained to me the progress of the totem, saying that he had already instructed him to go down, and he would tell me as soon as he found out, and asked me if there was anything else.
I nodded: "Brother Zhao, I really want to trouble you with something here." ”
Before I could say anything, Zhao Youfa agreed to come down, I said Brother Zhao, don't you ask about anything, what if it's not good, but he said that there is nothing he Zhao Youfa can't do in this territory, but he wants to invite me to his house as a guest afterwards.
I know why Zhao Youfa wants to invite me to my house as a guest, after all, he has also seen my ability, but it is important to find Gu Man at the moment, so I agreed and told him what I had entrusted.
"Mr. Zhang, are you going to start looking for it now?"
I nodded: "Yes, do it now, I will send the photo and address to your mobile phone, and I will trouble you, Brother Zhao." ”
"What the gentleman said, this is what I should do."
After hanging up the phone, I sent Gu Man's photo and address, and Zhao Youfa said that he would send someone to find it now.
Even so, the search operation still dragged on until noon, and there was still no news from Zhao Youfa and Lao Ding, but I found Gu Man's trace in a garden in the suburbs.
When the card is placed on the compass, the pointer begins to rotate rapidly, and even if it stops in the southeast, the compass will keep turning when the card is placed up, but this time......
It's the southeast, yes, I followed the guidance of the compass, and finally found Gu Man in a dark cave.
She was still in uniform, her hands and feet were tied, and she was unconscious.
In addition to the black and purple on the Yin Hall, there is also a cloud of filthy air.
This is also a sign of being stunned by the dementor incense, I went to probe her snort, a little disordered, and it should be fine to go to the hospital to adjust it.
Then I notified Lao Ding and Zhao Youfa to let Zhao Youfa's people evacuate, and at the same time thanked him, and asked Lao Ding to send a car to take Gu Man to the hospital.
The cave was very dark, and it was not very conducive to Gu Man's recovery, so I carried her outside the cave, but at this time, a note slipped from her.
"If you continue to persist, the end will not be so simple."
It's a line of small letters, I laughed twice, and it's quite profound.
Undoubtedly, this was left by the mastermind behind the scenes, he took Gu Man, but did not take Gu Man's life, there may be only one explanation that can be explained.
That is, the mastermind behind the scenes has found a replacement, although the fire life is rare in a hundred years, one in a million, but it can't stand the huge population base of Lang Huaxia, and Gu Man is also within the system no matter how he says it, if Gu Man has an accident, this case will be pursued forever, and the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
I put away the note, carried Gu Man to the entrance of the cave, and hung the nothing to do around her neck.
"There are not many people in this world who let my grandfather personally help, and you are lucky."
I made a joke to myself, and then sat down and squinted against the rock.
After a night of traveling, my physical strength was almost overdrawn.
By the time the ambulance arrived, Gu Man's face had improved significantly, and the black gas on the Yin Hall had also faded a lot, and it wouldn't be long before he would wake up.
Before leaving, I told the driver, don't send it to the second hospital, Gu Man is now weak, and the feng shui in the inpatient department of the second hospital is not very suitable for her recovery, unless she finds another bottle of flowers to put at the end of her bed, but why bother, the gentle feng shui of the ordinary hospital is more suitable for Gu Man's recovery.
Not long after the ambulance left, Lao Ding personally drove me back to the bureau.
"Xiao Zhang, thanks to you this time."
On the way back, Lao Ding said excitedly while driving the car: "There will be a handover in a few hours, no matter whether Gu Man is awake or not, as long as there are no more murders." ”
I smiled and said I had to do it, and pulled out the note and handed it to him.
Lao Ding was driving, but still glanced at it obliquely.
"What do you think?"
Since Lao Ding asked so, it means that he doesn't want to investigate this case anymore, this is not irresponsible, on the contrary, Lao Ding is self-aware.
Obviously, we have no experience in this kind of case, and relying on me alone is tantamount to making up for the dead, and I will always be led by the nose by the black hand behind the scenes, and never want to be one step ahead.
In the past, the case entered our serious crime team, and I didn't see it and it would be handed over, but this time it attracted the attention of the above, and even Lao Ding didn't know what department it was, so it proved that the department sent by the superior to take over must be a department with experience in this kind of case.
Letting go at such a time is not a bad thing, and it is also a manifestation of responsibility to the victim's family.
But this is the result of thinking about the problem from Lao Ding's point of view.
From my point of view, I don't want to let it go.
Although my grandfather didn't let me take care of this matter, now that I have been involved, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get out of the whole body, at least the mastermind behind the scenes has already targeted me.
"Handover." I say.
This is a decision to be responsible for the collective, and after finishing speaking, I looked at Lao Ding again: "But I don't want to let go, Uncle Ding, I apply to use my spare time to communicate with Gu Man to help solve this case." ”
Lao Ding glanced at me and said that he would mention it when he handed it over, but he didn't dare to guarantee that it wouldn't work, after all, he hadn't dealt with the department he was about to hand over to us before, and he didn't even know the name of the department.
After returning to the bureau, Lao Ding asked me to go to the guest house to sleep first, and said that he would wake me up when Gu Man woke up.
In the end, I woke up, but I was called up by my colleagues to watch the excitement.
Two SUVs with license plates with the word "Beijing" drove into the compound of our bureau, and the posture was not small, but only two people got off the first car, one was wearing a brown leather jacket, and his image was a little sloppy, and I could see his hair on the second floor as if he hadn't washed it for a few days.
As for the other person, he is much more professional, with a suit and leather shoes, a big back, and gold-rimmed glasses.
This is a very strange pair, and after the two walked into Lao Ding's office, the door closed.
I looked at my watch, and it was six o'clock in the evening, and this was the mysterious handover department?
After about five or six minutes, the two men came out again, and the young man in the suit and leather shoes held a stack of materials in his hand, then got into the car and left.
In this situation, I hurriedly ran downstairs and ran into Lao Ding's office.
"Uncle Ding, is that the department in charge of the handover?"
Lao Ding was surprised at first when he saw me, and then nodded.
Did they show their credentials? City or province? ”
After asking this, I felt redundant, people's license plates all start with the word "Beijing", how can it be from the province.
"Patrol team credentials." Lao Ding lowered his voice: "I don't dare to be presumptuous in a positive situation, but I mentioned your case and gave them your information, and that person told me that they would consider it." ”
Patrol team? The prosecutor's office system? No, the case of the serious crime team has nothing to do with the procuratorate.
"Don't think about it." Lao Ding said: "I think people are just attached, otherwise it will be exposed, he said that after the case is solved, he will receive a dossier, and then look at it." ”
Lao Ding, who handed over the case, was relaxed, and then he answered the phone again, and after hanging up, he said to me with a happy face, Gu Man is awake, let me go to the hospital to see.
