[Dake is meeting Officer Deng for the first time.] Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ]

On the side of Wenjin Square is Tianbei 1st Road, a small street with only two lanes, and there are often traffic jams at the intersection with Renmin Road, forming a long-lasting car queue. Officer Deng appeared from the direction of Tianbei Road, and he walked through the traffic in the direction of Wenjin Square. Dake's mouth was wide open, and although Zhong Xian hadn't introduced him yet, he had already identified the person from among the pedestrians.

Officer Deng is so eye-catching, and today he finally wore a police uniform.

Zhong Xian and Dake stood in the shade of a tree next to the square, Dake had not finished smoking a cigarette, and they had only waited for 15 minutes.

Zhong Xian told Officer Deng about the situation just now, and Officer Deng asked to see Mr. Yang.

Dake had been happily analyzing the reasons for Xiao Zhu's disappearance. But after Officer Deng arrived, he became honest. He followed Zhong Xian and did not take the initiative to speak.

They took police officer Deng to HHZ company, introduced them to Mr. Guo and Mr. Yang, and then said goodbye. To be exact, Dake took the initiative to ask to leave, and he said that he remembered that there was still an important thing to do.

When the two of them went downstairs, Zhong Xian asked strangely, "Don't you want to know this policeman, and you thought you would tell him your reasoning, why is this the case?" It's like she's deliberately hiding. ”

Dake defended himself: "Curiosity is there, but it doesn't lose its mind. He's a cop, and he always thinks it's not like that when he talks too much. ”

"I've done too many bad things, and I'm weak when I see the police." Zhong Xian teased him.

"Since Xiao Zhu is not missing, what else is there to be curious about. But it was Deng Sir, unexpectedly, so white. What bureau is he in?"

"What do you mean?"

"Which sub-bureau is it? I have a neighbor who works from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Longgang Branch. Deng Sir can independently investigate the case, and he should also be a criminal policeman. ”

Zhong Xian pondered: "He didn't say it. I didn't ask either. Only then did he notice that he didn't know anything about the police officer who had investigated him.

Sometimes, hunches are like nerves that connect the heart. Although they were not heard or seen, the facts were there, and they spread through the air like the rain clouds that hung over Shennan Avenue.

On the afternoon of the second day, Zhong Xian sat in the fairy forest on the fourth floor of KKMALL, and he chose a location by the window, where he could see the sky outside the window, with light gray and dark gray clouds stacked on top of each other, light rain seemed to fall for a while, the dense canopy of trees on the side of the road kept shaking, and the weather forecast was that the typhoon was coming again. But the people on the street still go their own way and are not affected. This is so common during this season.

Officer Deng asked him for help again, and at the same time asked Mr. Yang. This can be regarded as an action of cooperation between the police and the people - Mr. Yang asked Xiao Zhu out to meet on the pretext of talking about work, and asked Zhong Xian to hide aside to identify whether the person who came was Xiao Zhu.

Officer Deng arrived as promised. He was dressed rather casually today. Light-colored jeans and a shirt with light stripes on a white background. They are like two old friends who have met on an appointment.

"Thank you for the clues you provided yesterday, especially if you are willing to cooperate with ...... today," Officer Deng politely thanked him as soon as they met.

Zhong Xian interrupted him with a smile and pushed a cup of iced coffee in front of him: "Don't be polite in the future." He casually gestured to a spot near the door three tables apart, where a glass of mango juice had been placed on the round goose egg blue table, but there was no one in the seat. Mr. Yang has arrived. He's a little nervous and now he's going to the bathroom. ”

Officer Deng nodded, sat down across from the bell, looked around, stood up again, pulled his chair to the side of the table, and sat down again.

"Otherwise, you sit in my place. The line of sight will be better here. "Bell String proposes." I think it's a good place to observe and very hidden, and I don't know if my choice as a layman meets your standards as a detective. ”

"Not bad." Officer Deng gave an appreciative expression. "Xiao Zhu doesn't know me. You're well hidden. Your task is to confirm whether it is Xiao Zhu himself. Officer Deng said, and then he saw Mr. Yang, who had just come out of the bathroom and was slowly walking back to his position.

Suddenly, Mr. Yang also saw Officer Deng, immediately raised his hand enthusiastically to greet him, and walked over with a quickened pace.

"He just sent me a WeChat message, and he will be there soon." Mr. Yang said as he walked. Because there were few guests in the Fairy Forest at this time, he deliberately lowered his voice, but because he was too careful, his movements seemed strange, but it attracted attention. As he spoke, he walked up to Zhong Xian and Officer Deng. "Ah Sir, I want to apologize for my attitude yesterday, I didn't want to help you ask this surnamed Zhu to come out at first, because I was too busy recently. Mr. Zhong also knew that I was working on a product, and I was under a lot of pressure. But then it dawned on me......"

"Nothing." Officer Deng interrupted him, "You've been very cooperative. Is it about four o'clock?"

"Yes, yes. I'll go back to my seat and wait. His WeChat just now said that the subway has arrived. ”

Officer Deng nodded. Mr. Yang returned to his seat.

After that they all sat quietly. After about five minutes, Xiao Zhu did not appear. From the position of the bell string, you can see the entrance to the fairy forest, and the entire wall facing the central area of KK-MALL is glass, so you can see most of the large mall space all the way, including the two roller stairs, if anyone comes up from there, the bell string will immediately see it.

"He hasn't shown up yet." Zhong Xian said. "Maybe he's not familiar with this place and can't find the elevator."

Officer Deng nodded: "It's not time yet, if you are not familiar with the terrain, it will take ten minutes to walk from the subway station." ”

Zhong Xian agreed, and his gaze shifted to Officer Deng's face. From this angle, a well-defined side face can be seen, with a high nose and a short, thin chin. Zhong Xin searched his memory for even a little familiar ingredient.

"Is Sir Deng also a northerner?" He asked.

Officer Deng stared at the center of the mall through the glass curtain wall, wondering if he heard it.

"He is tall, but his facial features are soft. I couldn't guess where it was for a while. Zhong Xin continued.

Officer Deng stared outside and replied, "I'm the second generation." My parents were here more than 20 years ago. ”

"That's very enviable."

"What's the envy?"

"Escaped the current era of bloodsampire where every inch of land is valuable."

Officer Deng stared at the entrance: "Everyone has their own opinions. There's a saying that goes like that -- 'You only see what you want to see.' ’”

What Officer Deng said may have a point, but Zhong Xian feels that there is no way around the problem of survival. Who can live in style under the pressure of survival? It's all. Zhong Xian continued to ask, "I heard that the criminal police is a very hard job. Especially in a mega city. Your family is well-off. Why do you want to do this, did your parents support it in the first place?"

"Well, you guessed it right." Officer Deng turned his head to glance at Zhong Xian, then pulled the loose shirt cuff on his right arm up, revealing a centipede-like purple-red scar, "On the first mission, this accident happened. He said, "My mother forced me to change careers because of this." ”

“…… Why didn't you change careers?" Zhong Xian said.

Officer Deng's eyebrows rose slightly. "What about you? And why stay away from home? What do your parents think?"

"If my mom ** I...... Heh, I don't need her to force it. As long as she says it, I will do it 100%. Zhong Xian said to change the subject. I kind of don't understand. Why do you want to use this method? -- Let Mr. Yang ask Xiao Zhu to come out. He pointed in the direction of Mr. Yang. Since Mr. Yang has provided contact information, doesn't it mean that there is a business card? You police can go directly to Xiao Zhu. ”

"Speaking of business cards." Officer Deng's eyes revealed that he was deep in thought, and then said slowly, "That business card is still your company's business card." The number is already empty. Mr. Yang and his effective contact information only have a newly applied WeChat ID. This WeChat is not associated with a mobile phone number. ”

Zhong Xian was surprised: "It's weird. It seems to be ...... He deliberately wanted to be isolated from the world. ”

"Then why did you come out to work?"

"I can't help it. You have to eat. But maybe it's some mental illness. ”

"He's coming!" Suddenly, Mr. Yang, who was not far away, shouted and got up from his seat, and Zhong Xian and Officer Deng turned their heads together. Just when they were wondering why Mr. Yang reacted so aggressively, Mr. Yang pointed outside and shouted again, "He ran away!" ”

Officer Deng chased them out, like a spring bouncing out of his seat, the waiter looked at them with a surprised expression, and Zhong Xian also stood up reflexively.

Officer Deng jumped onto the downward roller ladder. The bell scurried to keep up and try to look ahead. He didn't see Xiao Zhu. A purple coat thrown under the ladder. They chased all the way down the second floor. The back of a man flashes against the wall of a children's store. When Zhong Xian chased after Officer Deng, he found that there was an elevator leading to the underground parking lot.

The indicator light on the elevator shows that B2 - the elevator has reached the second basement floor. Someone just got on this elevator.

"Where's the stairs?" Officer Deng kept pressing the elevator button while asking the waiter not far away.

Zhong Xian preemptively replied: "I know." To the fore. He led the way into the stairwell. There are two exits to the parking lot. You go to Kou A, I'll go to B, and if I see Xiao Zhu, I'll call you. Zhong Cine suggested as he ran. Officer Deng agreed.

The stairwell was very dark, and most of them ran down by feeling, and when they reached the second basement floor, Zhong Xin pointed to the left, "That's Exit A." I'll go here. "He and Officer Deng went their separate ways.

There are a lot of cars in the parking lot. There are two cars slowly driving in search of a parking space. Zhong Xian looked around as he ran. He still didn't see Xiao Zhu.

Panting and running to exit B, the outside light shone in through the open exit. There were a few cars lined up at the railing gate, and four or five people were standing there, not knowing what they were waiting for.

Zhong Xian ran over, past the people and cars at the exit, and ran to a side street outside. He stopped.

There are not many cars passing by on this side street, and there are few pedestrians.

He turned around and saw Officer Deng running towards him from the dimly lit underground parking lot, approaching at a fast pace. For a moment, he decided to keep running. As soon as he turned around and took two steps, he crashed into a slow-moving car, and he bounced off like a ball. He saw clouds in the sky, gray covering the sky, and some invisible raindrops dripping on his face.

Then he fell on the pavement.

He was depressed, and the depression and annoyance that came with it even surpassed the pain in his back.
