Sitting in the car, Deng Haoran realized that his body was cold and tired, he leaned back to the seat like mud, and the two pairs of eyelids fought desperately. Unconsciously, his sister Deng Wan'er's head secretly put on his shoulder, and she quietly fell asleep with a tired face.

"Is there anything we can learn from the investigation of street surveillance footage?" Long Xirui whispered to Shi Mingzhu, who was driving. Despite her exhaustion, it seems that her brain does not need to rest, and she is still concerned about the progress of the investigation into the amputation.

"I'm sorry, Miss Long, although you are our very good helper and friend, but after all, the police force has a strict confidentiality system, so without the consent of the leader, the results of the investigation cannot be told to you for the time being." Shi Mingzhu's wording was quite polite, but there was obviously a lack of warmth in his voice.

"I'm listening!" Deng Haoran's voice unexpectedly sounded in the carriage.

Shi Mingzhu's warm gaze was reflected in the rearview mirror, and she said: "Boss, you are too tired, let's wait for the specific situation to report to you tomorrow!" ”

"It's already past midnight, it's tomorrow, let's talk about it!"

"Alright! Boss, according to the location described by He Li in his post-hypnotic dream, we found a white Honda Accord from the surveillance archives of the traffic police force to be the most suspicious. ”

Deng Haoran's bloodshot eyeballs suddenly broke the sticky eyelids and asked, "Who is the owner of the car?" ”

"After our investigation, the license plate is fake."

"Where are the cars coming and going?"

"It's basically the same route as He Like's running on the street, and we locked the car mainly based on this, but the starting and ending points can't be determined."

"Did the surveillance capture the driver?" Deng Haoran continued to ask.

"That Honda Accord had coated glass on its windows."

Long Xirui knows that coated glass, also known as reflective glass, is a special glass that coats one or more layers of metal, alloy or metal compound on the surface of the glass to change its optical properties.

"Didn't the driver get out of the car all the time?"

"Hmmm! Anyway, the surveillance of several streets was not photographed. ”

"What about the window decoration records of the major car dealers?" Deng Haoran had some intention to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Boss, that's going to be a lot of work......"

"Even if it's looking for a needle in a haystack!" Deng Haoran interrupted her loudly and said, "Obviously, the murderer's every move was carefully planned, if we don't put in a little more effort, how can we be high!" ”

As he spoke, Deng Wan'er was woken up by his sudden increase in volume. Gently touching his sister's head, Deng Haoran took off his coat and put it on her, and continued: "Mingzhu, tomorrow - no, it should be said that today, you and Han Xing and Xiao Mini will go to check the decoration records of the coated glass in the car dealership. ”

"But, boss, did you forget to promise to give the little mini a holiday to the engagement dinner today? People stayed up all night, and they haven't rested yet! ”

Deng Haoran said "oh", immediately dialed his mobile phone, and said softly: "Little mini, today is the big day of your engagement, hurry up and go home!" …… Don't do it, go back to sleep for me right away, and dress up again when you wake up, I believe everyone wants to see a healthy and beautiful bride-to-be. …… That's an order! Well, that's it, obedient! ”

Seeing the police car driven by the little mini in front of him turning right at the intersection, Shi Mingzhu turned his head and said, "Boss, you should also take a break, I'll send you and Wan'er home!" ”

"You left a backup of the traffic police team's surveillance, right?"

"Yes, it's all at the police station, waiting for you to ......."

"There's no time to wait! Mingzhu, drive the car to your house by the way, you go back to rest, and I will go to the bureau again. After speaking, Deng Haoran looked at Long Xirui again and said, "Are you interested in taking a look at that car together?" ”

Long Xirui immediately smiled: "If there is a cup of hot coffee......

"Of course! Two cups are no problem! Deng Haoran was delighted.

At this time, Shi Mingzhu said again: "Boss, I'd better go with you!" Anyway, I've already told my family that I have a mission tonight. ”

Deng Haoran shook his head with a smile to express his acquiescence, and then told God, Anping, and Li Dalong through the walkie-talkie to go home and rest.

The slanting wind whipped up a cloud of snow, and the car happened to pass the café called "Pompeii" outside the British community, and the neon lights on the roof were particularly eye-catching. On the other side of the road, I don't know who braved the heavy snow to build a huge snowman, more than one person tall, the snowman's round head is embedded with eyes, nose and mouth decorated with various objects, the lower body has a big belly, it looks naughty and cute, and under the blue light of the neon lights on the opposite side, it gives people a sense of ethereal and fantasy like a secluded fairyland.

"Wow! What a beautiful blue snowman! Deng Waner, who was sleepy-eyed, suddenly looked excited, and quickly pressed the car window and took out his mobile phone to take a few photos in a row.

When he arrived at the police station, Deng Haoran arranged for Deng Waner to sleep on a simple bed in his office, and hurriedly took Long Xirui and Shi Mingzhu to the reference room, and sat in front of the computer with a cup of instant coffee.

"The eighth generation of Accord!" Deng Haoran stared at the surveillance screen and said, "2.4L-EXL-NAVI, the market price is more than 260,000." ”

"Hmm!" Long Xirui nodded, "The trapezoidal headlights, the heavy bumper separates the grille and the air intake, and the logo is more conspicuous than the old model." ”

"And the three-dimensional curved surface of the window, which has almost no seams." Deng Haoran said again, "But these are the commonalities of all the eight generations of Accord!" ”

"That's right! Boss, according to the results of our investigation, there are more than 2,000 cars registered in the city's vehicle management office alone. ”

"By the way, Mingzhu, although the license plate is fake, a wanted warrant will be issued to the traffic police force, gas stations and car dealers, telling them to pay attention to this license plate number, and once found, report it immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

"Playback for 30 seconds!" Long Xirui said suddenly.

Deng Haoran did as he was told and used slow motion. "What did you find?" He asked Long Xirui, but his eyes were glued to the car on the screen.

"Look under the car, what do you see?" Long Xirui asked.

Deng Haoran turned to the slowest playback of 1/16, and at the same time his eyes widened, and said, "You mean that there is liquid dripping around the rear wheel." ”

"It's not just the rear wheels, it's the front wheels as well." Shi Mingzhu added.

Deng Haoran blew on the steaming coffee and said, "Look, behind the wheels, what is it that is so bright and shiny and reflective?"

"It's supposed to be ice on the fenders." Long Xirui said.

"Ice! Melting ice! Deng Haoran said with a look of surprise, "But if I'm not mistaken, it was a sunny day." ”

"That's right, that's what the database investigative report says." Shi Mingzhu had already sat down in front of another computer, clicked the mouse and said, "The temperature that day was 9 to 16 degrees Celsius. ”

Deng Haoran said: "It was the hottest few days before the first snow of this winter, the time was in the afternoon, and the temperature was at least 145 degrees, so it can be said that as long as you don't run naked on the street, you won't feel cold." ”

Shi Mingzhu smiled dumbly and said, "Then how can there be ice on the car?" ”

Long Xirui answered: "Or should I ask, where did the ice on the car come from?" ”

Deng Haoran licked the coffee in the cup with some thirst, and frowned: "It's burned!" ”

Shi Mingzhu hurriedly got up and opened the refrigerator, took out two ice cubes and sandwiched them into Deng Haoran's cup, and suddenly said, "Boss, there is ice in the refrigerator!" ”

Deng Haoran looked at the ice cubes in the cup that were shrinking little by little, and said, "Do you really want to put the elephant in the refrigerator!" If you want to freeze the car, at least it has to be cold storage! ”

"There's also the possibility of high altitudes." "For every 100 meters of elevation gain, the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees Celsius. ”

"Then to go from a dozen degrees to below zero, the altitude must rise by at least 2,500 meters." Deng Haoran calculated.

"The speed doesn't seem to be fast, and the ice on the fenders hasn't melted, which means that the place where the ice is not very far away."

Listening to Long Xirui's analysis, Deng Haoran turned his gaze to the city map on the wall, and suddenly said: "The place above 2,000 meters above sea level is only the highest peak in the city, the high peak of Yunzhong Mountain. ”

"It's less than 20 kilometers from the city." Shi Mingzhu said.

Deng Haoran turned his head and said to Long Xirui: "Your Baihui Forest is at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain. ”

"Gao Junfeng is also a place I often visit." Long Xirui took a sip of coffee as she spoke, and said, "I don't mind going up the mountain to have a look." ”

"Then all the cold storage in the local area will be handed over to my people to check." Deng Haoran said.

At this time, Shi Mingzhu took two buckets of Master Kong that had just been soaked and handed them to the two, Deng Haoran took a bucket and gobbled it up, then looked up and said to Long Xirui: "I'm sorry!" Tonight's supper is a bit miserable! ”

Long Xirui smiled and said, "I think it's good!" That's the smell! Classic! ”

Shi Mingzhu himself also held a bucket over, looked at the advertising words on the red package and said: "I have a deep understanding, this Master Kong's braised beef noodles are the most delicious to eat when you are hungry!" ”

Deng Haoran drank the hot soup in his mouth and said, "That's right! That's the smell! In fact, fast food is the most wonderful taste to fill hunger! ”

"Brilliant and incisive! Chief! ”

The three of them swept away the previous tension and exhaustion, and the muscles on their faces relaxed in the laughter.

At this moment, Deng Waner's exclamation was heard in Deng Haoran's office, and the three of them ran over there together. Deng Haoran quickly turned on the light, only to see Deng Waner lying flat on the simple bed, his eyes closed, his face covered with sweat, his two hands were grabbing something in front of his chest, and in addition to screaming, he also muttered something: "No!" …… Why? …… Why you? …… You...... How can you ......"

"Looks like she's talking in her dreams." Long Xirui said.

Deng Haoran hurriedly shook his sister awake and shouted, "Don't be afraid! Wan'er, there is a brother here. ”

Deng Wan'er slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Deng Haoran, he suddenly threw himself into his brother's arms and said, "I had a nightmare just now, it's so scary!" ”

"What did you dream about?" Deng Haoran asked.

"I dreamed of geese."
