CHAPTER XVI: XXX

"You say." Zhang Yichi always felt unpredictable and unkind, and he didn't know why he felt this way.

"I want to ask you about Lu Tao." Mo Ji turned sideways, the elbow of his right arm rested on the desk, and his right hand held his head in a pose like he wanted to hear a story, "He's missing?" ”

Zhang Yichi frowned slightly, his unpredictable tone was very similar to the previous policeman, and the feeling of being interrogated was very uncomfortable: "Yes." ”

"When did you go missing? Oh no, it may be more appropriate to say that he ran away from home, after all, everyone agrees that Lu Tao is running away from home. Mo Tu pouted and said, "I don't know where these guys came from, eh, don't you think Lu Tao ran away from home, right?" ”

Zhang Yichi, who was about to answer, tensed up, he slowly exhaled to relax himself, his eyes turned to one side, revealing an impatient expression, "Then what do you think of the situation?" ”

"Captured by aliens." Mo Tu said very seriously, looking at him like that, as if he was deeply poisoned by science fiction movies, "I won't tell you, in fact, aliens are all around us, and they take us humans away for various purposes." We must be vigilant and not take it lightly, otherwise we will be the next to be caught experimenting. ”

"It's not funny at all." Zhang Yichi replied with a cold face.

Mo Ji's face changed, and he grinned, "Also, there is no other possibility except to run away from home, it won't be killed and the corpse hidden." ”

Zhang Yichi's gaze, which was originally floating on the side, was unpredictable.

"Well, that's even more nonsensical than being captured by aliens." Mo Tu smiled to himself, "Who will kill him?" ”

"You're talking to me about all this boring stuff?" Zhang Yichi asked.

"Of course not, I can get the girls out of the class when I have the time to talk to you." Mo Chao sat up and stretched, "Do you think I'm someone who wastes time doing things that don't make sense?" ”

"It's like that." Zhang Yichi said.

"Hush." Mo Tu disagreed, "What if I've already extracted a lot of information from your words?" ”

"For example?" Zhang Yichi asked rhetorically.

Unpredictable shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to delve into the topic: "When did Lu Tao run away from home?" ”

"Late last night. How? Do you also want to find Lu Tao like the police? Zhang Yichi wanted to know Mo Xue's motivation for asking this, in his opinion, although Mo Tu was a bit improper, he was not a gossip lover who was keen on collecting this kind of information as an after-dinner conversation.

"Not really, I've never been interested in that." Mo Ji leaned against the table and said, Zhang Yichi suspected that he had no bones at all, and always liked to lean on things.

Zhang Yichi didn't ask Mo Tu what it was for, which would make him look very abnormal.

"Any other questions?" couldn't think of it, and asked him what these were for, Zhang Yichi was still paralyzed.

"It's gone." Mo Ji got up, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Yichi didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer, but just watched Mo Tui walk out of class with his hands in his pockets.

At this point, until the end of the self-study at nine o'clock in the evening, except for the head teacher who came to ask if there was any news of Lu Tao again, Zhang Yichi never met anyone who talked to him. As for the police, they didn't come to him either, and he didn't know where the police investigation was going, but he was quite confident in his layout. And everyone thinks that Lu Tao is just running away from home, so it shouldn't be a problem to delay it for a week.

May 15 at 8 p.m

Police station

Li Xiangnian, who was supposed to go home from work at six o'clock, stared at a hand-drawn map for an unknown amount of time.

For him, his home is no different from the police station, and it is better to stay in the bureau to save trouble. In addition to this, there is another big reason, that is, he still hasn't figured out how Lu Tao disappeared under the monitoring probe.

The map in his hand is the road map of Lu Tao's escape from home that he drew after returning to the bureau, he drew Lu Tao's walking route, and then drew circles in some places, the circles represent monitoring, and there are four or five monitoring probes at the end of the route to form a circle, almost no dead ends'surrounding' the last place where Lu Tao has recorded his passing.

He frowned, his eyes full of puzzlement and doubt.

Why is there no trace of Lu Tao in the surveillance?

He tried to deduce a variety of possibilities. For example, Lu Tao returned the same way, and went to an unknown place from another unmonitored road. But there are still a lot of things that don't make sense, why wasn't he seen by the surveillance when he returned the same way?

Patting his forehead, Li Xiangnian pulled out a crumpled cigarette from the slightly deformed cigarette case. He held a cigarette in his mouth with his left hand, and took a lighter from his pocket with his right hand to light it.

"Shhh...... Whew......"

Filled with smoke, Li Xiangnian squinted his eyes and still stared at the hand-drawn map and thought about the problem. But after a few seconds, as if remembering something, he picked up his phone and found the recorded video.

There are a total of eight videos, and these are all the videos that monitored Lu Tao's figure late last night.

Li Xiangnian watched them one by one, and watched each one two or three times.

There is nothing wrong with the video, if it weren't for the abnormality, Li Xiangnian could only say that he felt that Lu Tao was dressed a little strangely, and he wore a peaked cap in the middle of the night.

"Lao Li, are you still living in the bureau today?" Team Wu finished handling things and was about to go home, when they happened to see Li Xiangnian in a daze.

"yes--ahh Li Xiangnian packed up his things and stood up.

"By the way, can you stand sleeping in a chair all day?" Team Wu said with his hands behind his back.

Li Xiangnian showed a wooden smile: "By the way, Team Wu, I want to take half a day off tomorrow." ”

"Leave?" Team Wu raised his eyebrows and was about to go out, but he still turned around, "It's the first time in so many years that I've heard you say the word "leave." How? Planning to take time out of your daughter's care? Good thing, yes. ”

"It's not." Li Xiangnian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't even see her figure, so what's the matter, I want to go to the hospital tomorrow morning." ”

"Hospital? What happened to you? Team Wu's face changed and asked with concern.

Li Xiangnian pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand: "For trivial matters, go to the hospital for examination and examination, at most half a day." ”

"Yes, if you feel unwell, you can take a look at it as soon as possible, so as to save yourself from developing a big problem." Team Wu preached as if he had come over, "Eh, what happened to the case of running away from home?" ”

Li Xiangnian wanted to say that it was a little troublesome, but he felt that it was not too early, and he shouldn't trouble Team Wu: "I'm looking for it." ”

"Well, it's only been half a day, you don't have to be too anxious, it's generally not a big problem. Maybe you can go back and sleep today, and tomorrow the kid will come home. Team Wu smiled, "That's it, I'll go home first, today is my child's eighteenth birthday, and I'm still waiting for me to go back and eat cake." ”

Looking at the joy on Team Wu's face, Li Xiangnian nodded: "Slow down on the road." ”

"You, too, are gone." Team Wu went out with a smile and quickly drove away from the police station.

After Team Wu left, Li Xiangnian put everything in his bag, walked out of the police station quickly, got into the car and drove to a place where he might be able to solve the problem.
